Chapter 184: Nine Cold Condensed Ice Thorns
Because they had done detailed homework on the geographical location near the Beishui River Basin, Fang Yu and his party were relatively smooth on the road, and they did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
According to historical records, the location of the "Tianshui Cave" is close to the Qiuyu Mountain in the south of the Beishui River, which is a solitary peak that is not very high, and there are bare stones all over the peak from the top to the bottom of the peak, which looks a little out of place with the surrounding environment.
Because there is a blindfold at the entrance of the cave, it cannot be seen from the outside, and only after the cultivator approaches a certain range, can he detect the abnormality of the aura fluctuations there.
Fang Yu and the others searched around halfway up the mountain, and finally found the approximate location, although the door was set up with a blinding method, but Lou San happened to have a certain amount of research on the blinding method, and it took half an hour to break the spell.
After the blinding method is broken, an antique copper door is revealed, and a plaque is hung directly above the copper door, with three big characters of "Tianshui Cave" written on it.
Obviously, this is the cave house occupied by Caiyong.
Without further ado, Fang Yu and the others broke into the door, only to find that after opening the gate, there were actually seven or eight tunnels extending downwards inside.
It doesn't look like a monk's cave, but like a labyrinth, I don't know what this Caiyong is doing.
Faced with such a situation, Fang Yu decisively divided more than a dozen companions, led by Le Hai and Zhao Nishang to explore the path from different passages, and marked each road along the way, and searched forward in a carpet manner.
In Fang Yu's opinion, it should only be a matter of time before he cracked this maze, but after most of the hour, Fang Yu, Le Hai, Zhao Nishang and the others met again inexplicably.
The three of them felt that they should have taken a circuitous route, and they were even approaching the edge of the maze, but after meeting each other, they looked closely and found that they had actually returned to the original point.
Most of the hour's hard work was completely useless.
"What's going on?" Fang Yu frowned and asked.
Among the ten masters of Wuwu Lou, Lou San seemed to have some research in this regard, and said: "This doesn't seem to be a simple maze, it should be fused with special formations, so we are just walking around in circles." ”
"Damn, formation, no wonder!" Fang Yu scolded secretly.
"What now?" Zhao Nishang asked, I don't know when she began to get used to Fang Yu's ideas.
"Well...... now" Fang Yu thought for a moment and said, "I've always wanted to be a Sven, but I have to say that sometimes it's easy to be simple and rude. ”
"Simple and crude? What do you mean? Zhao Nishang asked subconsciously, and then seemed to blush a little, coughed and twisted his face to the side.
Fang Yu was speechless—Senior Sister, where do you want to go?
"I mean, the most important thing at the moment is time, it's too troublesome to crack the formation, so it's better to destroy it, such as tearing down a few walls or something, the formation should be invalid, right?" Fang Yu explained his intentions.
It was as if a fresh breeze was blowing into the closed room, and Fang Yu's unreasonable playing of cards suddenly made everyone's eyes light up.
Yes, it's hard to get out of the labyrinth, but it's easy to destroy it.
Everyone is a cultivator, and it's not easy to smash a few walls?
There was no need for Fang Yu to give another order, a few anxious people had already started to smash the wall, but they didn't expect to smash it a few times, and a voice suddenly came from the depths of the labyrinth: "If you smash it again, this place will collapse." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone felt a shaking under their feet, and then among the four or five forks in the road in front of them, the wall of one of them suddenly glowed with a silver light, as if it was pointing the way.
Among the ten masters of Wuwu Lou, Lou Qi happened to be good at summoning, and in order to prevent accidents, he summoned a thick-armored rhinoceros to enter the passage first, while the others followed behind the thick-armored rhinoceros.
Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way, at the end of the passage was a stone room, decorated with antique, and a middle-aged man in a long robe stood with his hands in his hands, looking polite, like a scholar.
"Are you Caiyong?" Fang Yu asked directly.
"That's right." Cai Yong admitted it calmly, and then asked rhetorically: "You are here for the war in Beishui River, right?" ”
Fang Yu originally planned to ignore anything else after seeing this person, and directly capture it first, but he didn't expect the other party to actually guess their intention in advance, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
And Cai Yong seemed to have guessed something from Fang Yu's expression, shook his head and smiled: "It's a pity that you came too late." ”
When he said this, there was a trace of helplessness and a trace of sadness in his expression, Fang Yu instinctively felt that something was wrong, but in the next second, a few subtle sounds suddenly came to mind from the surrounding walls.
Countless ice needles as thin as cow's hair shot out from the wall, Fang Yu used the metal body covering technique to protect his body in time, while the others were not so lucky, Lou 4, Lou 5 and Lou 8 were all shot by the ice needles, and almost at the same time let out a muffled snort, and sat down to the ground together!
I saw that the faces of several of them changed from white to blue, and from blue to normal, and repeated seven or eight times in an instant, and their bodies spasmed, as if they were suffering great pain.
"This is the Nine Cold Condensing Ice Thorn, which automatically melts after entering the body, and mixes with the blood, and the cold poison immediately penetrates into the viscera, how does it taste?" Cai Yong said with a sneer.
"Control him and force him to get the antidote."
Before the words fell, several other uninjured people had already pounced on Caiyong.
In Fang Yu's mind, this should be a hard battle, but after the real battle began, he realized that Cai Yong's strength didn't seem to be as strong as he thought.
Less than three minutes into the battle, Cai Yong was broken and collapsed to the ground with blood foaming at his mouth, but his face did not show the slightest pain, but exuded a fanatical light of death.
"Hand over the antidote." Lou Er grabbed Caiyong's collar and yelled loudly.
However, the latter just smiled: "There is no cure for the Nine Cold Condensing Ice Thorns,." ”
"I'll kill you!" Lou Er put the knife in his hand on Cai Yong's neck, and the sharp blade even cut through his skin, leaving a trail of sinuous blood.
"You don't have to do it." Cai Yong smiled bitterly: "One hundred and ninety-eight souls have been gathered, and my mission is over......"
The next moment, his body suddenly spasmed, and a black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Everyone didn't expect that Cai Yong would suddenly take poison and commit suicide, and they were all stunned for a while, but the last thing he said aroused Fang Yu's vigilance.
What does it mean that one hundred and ninety-eight souls have been gathered?
He subconsciously glanced back, and saw that Lou 4, Lou 5 and Lou 8, who had just been shot by the "Nine Cold Condensing Ice Thorns", had curled up on the ground and stopped struggling, their bodies were all stiff, and their surfaces were covered with a layer of frost.
Bites of blue light floated up from them, sinking into the ground like snowflakes.
And deep underground, a terrible beast roar suddenly sounded......
