Chapter 472: Roots in the Strange Cave
Countless skeletons and necrons chased them into the depths of the sea and pounced on the caverns of the mud and gravel riots.
They have no eyeballs in their eye sockets, but they emit a faint green light like ghostly fire, and on the skeleton of their bodies, there is a sinister evil aura that goes in and out like snakes, and their mouths are constantly chirping.
They surround the hole at the entrance of the cave that has been blocked by falling rocks, and they are scurrying in the surrounding water, looking extremely crazy.
However, the strange thing is that these necromantic skeletons, knowing that Wang Dong and his party have entered the water hole on the mountain wall, as long as they dig through the falling rocks that block the entrance of the dead hole, they can continue to pursue those flesh-and-blood delicious creatures.
However, none of the dead spirits dared to step forward to dig up the falling rocks, and they seemed to be very afraid of this water hole, as if there was some great horror hidden in the water hole that they were naturally afraid of.
Suddenly, the dense corpse seemed to have been inspired by some kind of inspiration.
They all abandoned the cave and floated quickly towards the sea, burrowed out of the water, and climbed up the cliff as fast as they could, and after a few moments, they disappeared into the dark clouds on the top of the mountain, which were as black as a dark cloud.
The situation where the necromancers retreated one after another, of course Wang Dong, who was wading through the water with an iron chain tied to Pi Wu in the water cave, of course didn't know, but there was another situation, he didn't know either.
On the island where he had settled earlier, more than 200 hideous-looking demon cultivators sneakily gathered from the dense forests and valleys to the cave on the mountainside.
These human-like guys, walking upright, and looking demonic are none other than the group of sea clan demon cultivators in Cangnan Mansion.
Holding a cyan three-pointed two-edged broadsword, the blue-faced man with crooked horns who took the lead was the demon general Niu Batian, and he was also the supreme official of the demon cultivators sent by Cangnan Mansion to participate in this chaotic war meeting.
A demon cultivator who followed Niu Batian's side, wearing earthy yellow leather armor, holding a feather fan in his duck-like palm, was Niu Batian's loyal subordinate and military advisor, Sea Bear Bear, the body was a sea bear that had been cultivated for many years.
A group of demon cultivators sneaked cautiously, and finally broke through the forest, went up to the halfway up the mountain, and surrounded the cave.
Niu Batiandong's long knife was on the ground, standing majestically outside the cave, tilting his head to give the sea bear a look.
The sea bear shook the feather fan in his hand, shook the brain shell that looked like a sea bear, and shouted into the cave: "Listen to the Terran monks inside, you have been surrounded by groups, come out quickly, the top ten will not die!"
The reason why he shouted the words of the top ten immortals was to divide the people in the cave and cause internal chaos.
However, the sea bear shouted five times in a row, and no one answered in the quiet cave, and the situation was very strange.
It's strange that someone agreed, Nie Zangfeng and the others all became prisoners, became cripples and were accepted into the demon refining by Wang Dong.
And Wang Dong and Qiu Yitian had already run away with Pi Wu in their hands, and when people went to the empty cave, the ghost would agree to Hai Xiongxiong's shout, and the top ten would come out and not die.
Niu Batian and other demon cultivators didn't know about this situation.
In order to avoid being exposed, they have been hiding in the sea more than twenty miles away from this island since last night, and soaked in the sea water all night.
They waited left and didn't see Pi Wu come back, and they waited right, but they didn't see Pi Wu come back, and when it dawned today, they still didn't see Pi Wu come back to report the news.
If you are dependent on Niu Batian, you want to wait until noon.
However, the witty sea bear suddenly changed his complexion, and remembered the glorious deeds of Pi Wuneng in the last two chaotic war meetings, all the demons died and he lived alone, and immediately spoke to Niu Batian.
At that time, Hai Xiong Xiong guessed with great certainty that Pi Wu, who had lost contact, was likely to go out to investigate under the guise of going out to investigate, but in fact, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet and escaped alone to avoid trouble.
As for the possibility of Pi Wu dying is zero, just as Pi Wu confessed to Wang Dong, Niu Batian and his demon cultivators have established a connection, if Pi Wu is dead, Niu Batian will feel it.
Niu Batian has always attached great importance to Hai Xiong's opinion, and Hai Xiong Xiong is his absolute confidant, so when he heard this, he was immediately furious and took it seriously.
But at the same time, Niu Batian also dispelled the idea of wanting to kill Nie Zangfeng's group of monks, and he didn't want to lose too many troops too early.
However, Haixiong strongly recommended that it is not the work of a big hero to retreat in case of trouble, especially in this situation of absolute dominance.
Even if Pi Wusa ran away, but the more than 200 demon cultivators on his side, if they want to kill the more than 70 monks in the Left Banner of the North Altar, it is also a sure thing, and the casualties of their own side are still barely acceptable.
Niu Batian pondered it carefully and felt that it was very reasonable, so he had the scene in front of him.
No one answered in the cave, Niu Batian was furious, and assigned two demon cultivators to enter the cave to find out, and he took other demon cultivators to fly up with all kinds of magic weapons, and put on a terrifying formation of attacking at any time.
The two unlucky ones who were named entered the cave tremblingly, and ran out without much effort, saying that in the cave there were no other farts except for a large amount of blood that had already solidified and a large pile of ashes, not even a single hair.
Niu Batian was shocked, Haixiong Xiong's eyes widened, and he hurriedly took some of his subordinates into the cave to take a look, and he was shocked at the moment.
Hai Xiong Xiong carefully surveyed the scene, and then lay down next to the blood stains and sniffed and smelled, and suddenly stood up and said: "This situation is simply unexpected, the mysterious force of that side is really powerful." ”
Niu Batian hurriedly asked, "Where did you start with this?"
"General, let's quit first, don't let that mysterious force beat us in an urn to catch turtles!" Hai Xiongxiong's expression was extremely solemn, and his feather fan pointed at the outside of the cave, signaling everyone to withdraw first.
Niu Batian was confused, but he thought so, and immediately adopted the advice of the military advisor and took the lead in rushing out of the cave.
Haixiong Xiong stood on the edge of the cliff, looked at the rising sun, and analyzed solemnly: "Pi Wu, that traitor, I don't bother to talk about him, let's say something useful." ”
"I looked at the scene in the cave, although there were large traces of blood, but there was no body of the monk, indicating that more than 70 monks in the left banner of the North Altar had been destroyed last night. ”
Niu Batian interjected: "This is obvious. "Do you mean you still need to say it?
Hai Xiongxiong said: "General, don't worry, and listen to me, there were originally more than seventy monks in the cave, all of whom were cultivators of the foundation realm, but last night they all died quietly, and there was no sound of fighting at all, what does this mean?"
He looked at the bewildered Niu Batian and other demons, and asked himself: "This shows that there must be a mysterious force that has been carefully planned, ahead of us, with mysterious and powerful means that are unaware of ghosts, fast as thunder, and unpredictable, and have attacked and defeated this group of monks in an instant. ”
"That's why we didn't hear any fighting, and Pi Wu might have really come to this island to investigate, and it was because they were so close that they saw or heard something that they were so frightened that they abandoned us and fled alone. ”
Niu Batian gasped and was shocked: "In the team of the two clans of the human and demon clans who participated in the battle, who is the divine who has this means? It is too powerful, and the gods have killed more than seventy foundation building realm monks without knowing it, even I, Niu, think that I can't do it." ”
The other demon cultivators nodded one after another, and they were suddenly filled with infinite fear of the mysterious power that killed Nie Zangfeng and the others.
Hai Xiongxiong said eagerly: "General, this place must not stay for long. ”
"Well, the military advisor has a point. Niu Batian nodded, and immediately flew away from the mountainside with the demons.
They didn't dare to evacuate from the sky, for fear of being targeted by the mysterious power in the mouth of the sea bear, and when they flew to the seaside, they fell like dumplings, puffed into the sea and left, which can be described as menacing and sparse.
......
Wang Dong and his entourage, who were located in the depths of the cliff, didn't know about this scene.
The waterway in the mountain wall is rugged and twisted, and the slope rises slowly upward, as if it leads to the deepest part of the mountain, as if there is no end.
Wang Dong carried Qiu Yitian on his back, grabbed the black iron chain that tied Pi Wu's vertebrae in his hand, followed Pi Wu who was walking in the water, and walked forward cautiously.
Qiu Yitian's mouth was biting a night pearl to illuminate everyone, and his arms were gone, so he could only use this method to help.
After a few more moments, the water level in the passage began to decrease significantly, and after a few moments, the two demons stepped out of the sea and continued to walk along the damp and hard passage.
"It seems that by this point, the location of the passage is already above the sea level beyond the cliff. Wang Dong transmitted the sound to Qiu Yitian behind him, soothing the atmosphere and relieving him.
Qiu Yitian, whose face was dripping with water, bit the night pearl in his mouth, and made a vague "hmm" sound.
Wang Dong looked at Pi Wu, who was walking in front, and asked, "How long will it take to stop?"
Pi Wu replied in a low voice: "Be quiet, it's faster." ”
Seeing that he was obviously safe when he arrived here, but instead he looked trembling and cautious, Wang Dong turned his mind, could it be that there is some terrifying existence in this unknown passage?
It's strange, if that's the case, why would Pi Wu, who is cunning by nature but timid and afraid of death, avoid here?
Wang Dong was puzzled in his heart, and grasped the Han Li Sword more and more, and as he walked, he looked around by the light of the Night Pearl.
This passage to the depths of the mountain's belly should be naturally formed, very open, and it is not a problem for seven or eight people to walk side by side.
On the blue-gray stone walls around them, there were obvious traces of being cut and widened by sharp claws or sharp weapons, and Wang Dong judged that the traces of those widening passages were probably made by Pi Wu and Pi Wu's uncle.
As he walked forward, he suddenly noticed that some whiskers of different thicknesses gradually emerged on the surface of the stone wall above his head and on the left and right sides, and only a short section of the surface of the stone wall was exposed.
He had been sneaking deeper into the earth more than once, and he could recognize that these stubble-like whiskers were the roots of some kind of tree or rattan plant.
But there are hard rocks all around, what kind of strange tree can penetrate the roots of this rock? What's more, ordinary plants need to absorb nutrients from the soil through their roots.
And what nutrients can these strange plants absorb when their roots dig into the rocks? The stones may contain various metal minerals, but there are not many nutrients for the plants to grow.
Of course, except for the spirit stone, which contains the aura of the five elements.
As he walked, Wang Dong made another discovery, only to see the roots and whiskers drilled out of the mountain wall in front of him, getting longer and longer, hanging down from the top of the cave and the stone walls on both sides.
And Pi Wu, who was walking in front, became more and more cautious, carefully avoiding those roots.
The two demons kept moving forward, and the roots hanging in front of them to block the way grew longer and longer, more and more, almost as dense as the curtains hanging in front of the door.
In this case, Pi Wu stretched out a dry stone rod that he had touched earlier, lightly picked aside the dense curtain-like roots, and then passed sideways, turning back and admonishing: "Don't pull these roots too hard, don't wake that guy up." ”
Qiu Yitian's face changed greatly, and he said to Wang Dong: "That guy woke up, what is it?" ”
"I don't know, I'm afraid only Pi Wu has seen it. ”
Wang Dong replied, but he was guessing in his heart, could it be that the thing that sowed these roots was a strange tree that had a little spiritual wisdom but was still ignorant?
However, he held the Han Li Sword in one hand, and the black iron chain in the other hand to contain Pi Wu, and both hands were not idle, so he couldn't pick up something like Pi Wu to pick up the roots that were dangling and blocking the way.
However, seeing that under Pi Wu's gentle touch, those roots like a long beard did not show anything strange, he simply did not dodge or dodge, let those roots brush his face, and walked over from the middle.
At first, it was nothing, but I felt that the roots were rubbing against my face, and it was itchy.
But it didn't take much time, Wang Dong felt that under the touch of his cheeks, those roots had obvious abnormalities, just like the tentacles of a snail that had been touched, and they were actually sensitively contracted and squirmed.
Moreover, Wang Dong also noticed that the color of these roots was also different from those encountered in the past, and they were faintly white, as if they were coated with a layer of faint silver light.
The light silver roots are as sensitive as a snail's tentacles? Wang Dong was surprised.
But at this moment, Pi Wu, who was leading the way in front, suddenly let out an exclamation.
Wang Dong's eyes widened suddenly, and Qiu Yitian said to him in horror: "Quickly release the chains......"
