Cai Qing quickly ran over and found that the six people were indeed absorbing the soul power of the bamboo demon, the pure soul power, circulating in the bodies of the six people, and then being absorbed,

Although she couldn't figure out the reason, she could easily imagine how majestic the soul power contained in so many bamboo demons was.

The four girls behind Xiao Chen, as if they were in a competition, upgraded one after another, making her envious,

A few minutes later, even Xiao Chen, who was in the middle of the fifth grade, was promoted to the late stage of the fifth grade.

Piao Piao has been promoted by two levels in a row, and has also reached the late stage of the fifth grade, Chu Yue and the others have all been promoted to four levels in a row.

Such a promotion method, such a promotion speed, is enough to make any person blush, even if it is Cai Qing, who has close to the strength of the ninth grade, it is no exception.

"That's all right, it's incredible," Cai Qing said incomprehensibly,

Xiao Chen opened his eyes, and at first glance, he saw her with an inquiring expression on her face, shrugged his shoulders and said, "You won't always be by the side to help us protect the Dharma, right?"

"Of course not," she said seriously, "Xiao Chen, aren't you going to explain the situation to me just now,"

At this time, the bamboo forest is very different from just now.

All the bamboo demons have been sucked up of their soul power and turned into ordinary pillars, and the emerald green of the leaves has also decreased, and they have completely lost their spirituality, and they look extremely ordinary.

Piao Piao and the four girls opened their eyes one after another, they felt refreshed, as if they had inexhaustible strength,

"Didn't you see it with your own eyes, and explain something," he said, changing the subject, "Where the hell is the Netherworld Flame, you seem to have said that it was behind the bamboo forest, yes?"

Cai Qing was anxious to know the answer, and Zhengse said: "Of course there is, you still haven't answered the question I just asked, how did you do it?"

Seeing that he looked like a hanger, she immediately turned her head to look at Piaopiao: "You can explain,"

Piao Piao behaved very generously, telling the truth: "I was originally also a dryad, and I turned into a human form by chance, don't stare at me, I am a real person now, no different from you, of course, I also retain some of the characteristics of the dryad, and I can suck away the soul power of the dryad through special means,"

Cai Qing was shocked: "It turns out that this is the case, no wonder they are so kind to you, I said it earlier, I have been worried about you for a long time, really,"

Xiao Chen smiled: "There are some secrets that can't be told to outsiders,"

She immediately became angry: "We have been fighting side by side for so long, and you still treat me as an outsider, too much,"

Chu Yue explained: "Senior brother doesn't mean this, how can you be an outsider, Caiqing, let's not talk about this, in order to pass the last level, we have wasted too much time, let's hurry up and find the Netherworld Holy Fire,"

Cai Qing was still a little reluctant, but she still looked towards the side and back of the bamboo forest, and said, "I have found a secret entrance, and it must be the Netherworld Holy Fire,"

"So what are you waiting for, we'll go in right away,"

It was an inconspicuous entrance to the crypt, surrounded by loess and stones, the entrance was irregularly shaped, no more than two meters wide at its widest point, and the depth of the black hole was bottomless.

It was still Cai Qing who took the lead, she jumped into the entrance with a torch, Xiao Chen followed, followed by the four girls and Piao Piao, who was in charge of pressing the formation,

The crypt passage is as dry as the environment outside, and the feet are muffled when they step on the floating earth,

"Don't worry, there will be no danger," Cai Qing said.

As soon as her words fell, a strange sound of "rustling" sounded right in front of her, which made her feel very shameless.

Xiao Chen said in a mocking tone: "It seems that the road ahead will not be very smooth, the passage is so narrow, once danger occurs, we will have no chance to turn around and run,"

She said with a dark face: "I am responsible for your safety, it is precisely because the passage is so narrow that there are no beasts of interest,"

"What if it's a snake or an insect, their body diameter is often not large, but the length of their body is amazing," he said solemnly.

"Xiao Chen, will you die if you don't raise the bar with me," Cai Qing was really angry,

"Not really, but I'll be miserable if I don't raise the bar with you," he said with a grin.

"I ...... If it weren't for the fact that you've known each other for so long, I'd have slapped you to death," she raised her right hand, and then slammed it down in front of her.

bang

The wind slammed into the ground, and the whole passage shook, and then there was the sound of some juicy object being smashed and juice splashing,

Xiao Chen stretched his neck to look, the four walls of the passage in front of him were stained with green liquid, very sticky and disgusting, and then looked at the ground, there were several corpses of beetle insects that had been slapped into cakes,

Cai Qing said: "It is a beetle with weak attack power, the lifespan is about 1,000 years, and it does not pose any threat to us, so I will be responsible for opening the way,"

"Forget it," he immediately retorted, "You made the road ahead so disgusting, how can you go,"

After speaking, he ordered the leaf martial soul to fly forward, using flying needles and sharp jagged edges to kill the beetles that arched out of the soil layer one by one.

These beetles are not small, with a tortoise-like back shell with symmetrical lines on them, which at first glance look like a shield buckled to the ground.

The passage has nine bends and eighteen bends, and I have been carefully recording how many steps I have taken.

Two quarters of an hour later, she spoke, "Brother Chen, we have walked a total of 8,300 steps, a total of about 5,000 meters,"

Xiao Chen frowned and asked, "Caiqing, how long do we have to go?"

"I don't know," she shook her head, and said, "The only thing that is certain is that there is still a long way to go, because until now, I have not sensed the existence of the Holy Flame, do you remember the last time I went to the Netherworld Holy Mountain, before the Holy Flame was extinguished, in my experience, every time I was three thousand meters away, I could detect the temperature of the flames,"

He rolled his eyes and said, "According to your meaning, we have to walk at least another three thousand meters, or even more,"

"Theoretically, that's it,"

Piao Piao, who walked at the back, said, "Two, I have already sensed the flame,"

"Impossible," Cai Qing denied without thinking, "I haven't even sensed it, and it's even more impossible for you,"

Piao Piao was too lazy to explain, and said, "Believe it or not, just a thousand meters in front of us, I sensed a beating flame, without any temperature...... We only need to turn two more corners to see,"

Cai Qing still didn't believe it: "The holy flame usually doesn't emit heat, but after all, it is a flame, so it will cause some changes in the surrounding air, and I didn't sense this change,"

Xiao Chen naturally didn't doubt Piaopiao's words, and said, "Then let the facts prove everything, let's speed up our pace, to be honest, we can't wait to see the holy fire,"
