Chapter 61: The Cave
By the time Wang staggered over the distance of ten meters, his face was already flushed, and his forehead was still covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and he looked tired. However, Li Baizhi said that he was not tired, but ashamed.
Sure enough, Wang Meng, who stood up, glared angrily at Li Bai and Liu Erhei, who were still secretly happy, and wiped past the two with a black face. The cave was small, and his movements were to bring down the stones embedded in the countless walls, but he didn't care, and walked to the cave in front of him. Li Bai and Liu Erhei in the rear looked at each other and smiled, and immediately followed. They all knew that Wang Meng was just making a petty temperament if he couldn't pull his face down for the time being.
As they went deeper into the cave, the space around them became more and more spacious, and at this point, they were able to walk side by side in the cave without being crowded. The sweat and crimson on Wang Meng's face had faded, and with his naturally cheeky nature, it only took three minutes to forget anything embarrassing.
The walls of the cave are covered with pale green mosses that glow green, providing light to players who come in without blacking out their eyes.
Time passed slowly, and Li Bai didn't know how far they had walked in the cave, only that the passage had been extending to the lower part of the cave. Along the way, they didn't see any other players, and the entire passage was unusually quiet, except for the grinding sound of them stepping on the ground.
Suddenly, a fork appeared in front of him, splitting the previously intact passage in two and extending in both directions. The three of them stopped, and at this point they had to make a choice. Li Bai stepped forward to carefully observe the ground at the entrance of the cave on both sides, but found that there were traces of trampling on both sides, and there were many of them, and he couldn't find the right passage at all.
Standing up and shaking his head helplessly at the two, Li Bai stepped aside. Liu Erhei then stepped forward to observe for a while, and said that he couldn't tell the difference, but Wang Meng went directly to the passage on the left. Li Bai hurriedly followed, but he couldn't help but ask.
"Fatty, how do you know that Lu Dao should go to the left?"
"I don't know what to do!" Wang Meng said he was surprised. Li Bai was immediately angry.
"Then what are you doing on the left?"
"Men on the left and women on the right, anyway, you can't tell the difference, just choose one."
Wang Meng swore an oath, Li Bai was helpless to retreat, and Liu Erhei in the back had nothing to say.
The three of them walked forward again for a distance, and there was another fork in the road ahead, Li Bai and Liu Erhei still did not find any traces, so the three of them walked the left passage again. This is repeated, and by the time they pass through the third fork, the surrounding environment has changed somewhat.
First of all, the bryophytes growing on the walls were significantly reduced, and the passages were noticeably darker. And after entering the passage behind the third fork, Li Bai distinctly smelled a trace of blood in the dull air, drifting with the barely existential breeze and entering his nostrils, as if this ubiquitous breeze was warning him. He hurriedly told Wang Meng and Liu Erhei about this discovery, although they did not have such a keen sense of smell as him, they were also much more cautious.
The smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger, and Liu Erhei and Wang Meng also sensed the danger in this darkness. In order to be able to deal with sudden dangers, Wang Meng was arranged to the front of the team, Li Bai was in the middle to respond, and Liu Erhei was responsible for dealing with possible dangers in the rear. With the promotion of the innate nature, Wang Meng's understanding of body refining ** has become more and more thorough, and his defense has been many times stronger than Li Bai and Liu Erhei, so Li Bai can rest assured that he will go to the front.
There was another corner in front of him, although there had been several such corners in front of him, Wang Meng still unconsciously strengthened his vigilance, because he couldn't see the situation after the corner at all, and the unknown was always the most difficult to determine. Sure enough, at the same time as he was about to turn around, a dark shadow that had been hidden for a long time quietly enveloped him.
His vision suddenly darkened, and Wang Meng, who was on guard, immediately responded. The True Yuan on his body, which was already in a state of operation, suddenly stimulated, and his whole body released a Dao of blood light, and the black shadow that enveloped him was like a shadow irradiated by the sun, which immediately dissipated into nothingness, and at the same time, there was a faint layer of smoke floating in the air with a trace of blood.
"Brother Bai, have you seen what it is? I didn't expect this thing to be so useless, and it was scattered by the vitality, which scared me in vain. Seeing that the smoke had no intention of reuniting, Wang Meng immediately turned back to Li Bai and asked.
"Fatty, you're too timid. This thing is like a wild ghost on earth, covered in gray smoke, and only its eyes are blood-red. However, the little ghost we encountered had too low a cultivation level and couldn't help but beat him. ”
"I'll go, it's a wild ghost, I've heard my dad say it, but isn't this thing very difficult to form?"
"It's hard to say, this underground yin qi is already heavy, if too many people die, it is easy to form this kind of lonely soul and wild ghost, maybe there are ghost kings and other things in the depths." Li Bai's brows were already furrowed, for visitors from the earth, there is some innate resistance to things like ghosts, and ordinary people can't touch things like ghosts at all.
"Do you think this is a ghost cave?" Liu Erhei next to him interjected, and his voice was restrained.
"Possibly." Li Bai made an inference, but the fat man next to him was already holding his stomach and laughing wildly.
"Uncle Hei**, I didn't expect you to be afraid of ghosts! You're afraid of ghosts! Ha Lu Ha! ”
"Humph! Fat boy, are you looking for a fight, how can I be afraid of ghosts, don't laugh, hurry forward. ”
Wang Meng didn't buy his account, and waited until he had laughed enough before slowly swaying forward. Liu Erhei didn't say anything anymore, just followed closely behind Li Bai, the so-called 'heroes don't suffer losses in front of them', he won't go to the ridicule of the fat man again.
Seeing the fragility of the ghost, the three of them moved faster. After the fourth fork in the road, the density of ghosts increased sharply, but the soul body was still fragile, and it couldn't stop Wang Meng's blood light at all, and he swept it all the way. Even after Liu Erhei personally killed a few fish that Wang Meng deliberately let go of in a panic, he was no longer as afraid of ghosts as he was at the beginning.
Li Bai also found that the experience given by this ghost is not ordinarily high, the experience value of each ghost is equivalent to three leopards, the blood is still thin, it is easy to kill, it is simply an excellent place to brush experience. It's no wonder that Li Ye and his party were not very afraid of rebuilding after hanging up, and they felt that they had such a treasure place for brushing experience.
After the fifth fork, the ghost's defense was obviously much higher than before, and it was difficult to kill the more powerful ghost creatures by relying solely on Wang Meng's body protection blood light, and he had to make up an attack from time to time.
After walking through the sixth passage and jumping over the sixth fork in the road, Li Bai suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood from the air, not only the ghosts themselves, but also the breath emitted after the blood in the human body flowed out of the body. Moreover, Liu Erhei and Wang Meng also obviously smelled the smell of human blood, and their faces became more solemn.
The ghosts here had reached the point where they could be seen everywhere, and soon a ghost spotted the three of them and immediately pounced on them. In the face of Wang Meng's protective blood light, it only paused for a moment, and then secreted an inky mist from its body to protect its body, directly breaking through the protection of the blood light and pounced on Wang Meng's forehead.
Faced with a completely different situation from before, Wang Meng was suddenly a little dazed, as if he didn't know what to do with it for a while. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Li Bai's fingertips instantly sent out a cyan spiral, and quickly stabbed at the ghost. The ghost sensed a crisis and tried to escape, but it was too late. The cyan spiral energy instantly passed through its forehead, leaving a translucent hole, and a wisp of blood red overflowed from the hole, and its body collapsed with it.
At this time, Wang Meng came back to his senses, shook his head vigorously, and then turned back blankly.
"Brother Bai, what just happened, how did I feel that it was suddenly dark all around."
Li Bai was immersed in thinking, and did not answer immediately, or Liu Erhei explained to Wang Meng what happened just now, if it was not for Li Bai's strength, maybe Wang Meng would have been injured by the ghost.
"Fatty, Brother Hei, I'll go to the front next."
Wang Meng was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Bai with his eyes, and he continued to explain.
"The fat man's bloodlight shield is no longer a threat to these ghosts, on the contrary, these ghosts will also use mental attack methods, although the means are still very rudimentary, but they are enough to cause damage to us. I've learned a secret method of cultivating the divine soul, and their spiritual attacks are useless to me, so I'd better go to the front, and you guys will support in the back. ”
"Oh." Wang Meng obediently gave up the first position, but he regretted it in his heart, "Tiger Devour" is a king-level **, and it is also the ** of the Tiger Clan, the king of beasts, which naturally has a method for the defense of the divine soul, but Wang Meng previously felt that this thing was not enough for the masters, and he didn't even bother to cultivate, which led to the current embarrassment.
He had already made up his mind that he would have to practice this Divine Soul Defense Method well after he left. At this time, he was in a dangerous situation, so naturally he had no conditions to think about it.
