Chapter 41: Parting Ways
Chen Tai's words made some of Su Yu's original plans in his heart fall through, although he didn't know whether it was true or not, but he was not willing to take risks lightly, and after getting along with these cultivators for a while, he found that these people didn't have much idea about the source power that overflowed between heaven and earth, but they cherished this source stone extraordinarily, so he faintly guessed that his cultivation was a little different from theirs.
His dantian was shattered and suppressed by the nine giant beasts, and he especially needed source power, and as long as the source power was enough, he could easily open up the source vein, but these martial artists did not directly absorb it when the source power gushed out, as if they were accustomed to it, and they did not have the intention of breaking the source vein.
Su Yu's mind flashed, Chen Tai also stood in place and hesitated, letting him go home empty-handed, he was also a little unwilling,
"What if we take off a piece?" Su Yu asked tentatively.
"Then this formation is no longer complete, the flow of source power in the source stones is speeding up, and I don't know how long it will take, these source stones will be consumed. Chen Tai replied bluntly.
Heaven and Fu take it, but suffer the blame, the source stone is really important to Su Yu, his eyes flashed, and he said decisively: "We will take down a few of these source stones, and the rest of the aftermath has nothing to do with us, not to mention that in the depths of this desert, it is rarely populated." ”
Chen Tai was already unwilling, and when he heard Su Yu's words, he comforted himself and said: "This formation has been stored for so long, I'm afraid that the things sealed in it won't be able to escape for a while." ”
As he spoke, he knocked down a full twenty brightly lit source stones under the wall near the entrance of the cave, and threw ten to Su Yu, and the storage ring put away the remaining ten in a flash, and he didn't move at all for those medium-grade source stones.
Facing Baoshan and not being able to collect it, both of them were a little depressed, and after sighing, Chen Tai looked at Sun Long, who was lying on the ground with his limbs in ruins, and his face was twisted, and he didn't know why Su Yu wanted to spare his life.
A trace of regret flashed in Su Yu's heart, and at the moment of deciding the life and death of this person, Su Yu suddenly remembered one of the tricks he knew about the Nine Dragons - Soul Devourer, this move was suitable for the current use, but unfortunately he couldn't watch Chen Tai being killed, and now he couldn't use it in front of him, so he said: "Send him on his way." With a flick of his finger, a silver needle shot into Sun Long's eyebrows.
Looking at Sun Long, who was out of breath, Chen Tai nodded, jumped into the cave entrance, and disappeared as soon as his figure moved, Su Yu walked to the entrance of the cave and glanced at the stone wall above, on which a strange picture was carved, alternating red and yellow, in the center of the picture, a spider pattern was lifelike, especially the three eyeballs squeezed in the center of the skull, like a living thing.
At the moment of Su Yu's view, the three eyeballs moved slightly, and they also looked towards him, bright red, and the faint light slidied.
Su Yu's eyes showed a little jealousy, he believed that it was this thing that quietly plotted against Sun Long and the others, if he was allowed to get out of trouble, it would definitely be difficult to resist, which was also one of the reasons why he chose to believe Chen Tai.
Without thinking about it anymore, in a flash, Su Yu entered the cave and his figure disappeared. After he left, the three eyeballs moved, mysteriously swept over Lu Shan and Sun Long who were lying on the ground, and then disappeared behind the stone wall, revealing three pitch-black hollows.
On the desert, blood splashed, and the originally scattered people were now gathered together, Qi Xian'er and Wei Yuyan stayed among the two women, Qi Qiong was beside them, holding a feather fan in his hand, which flashed with red light, every time he waved, a firebird appeared on the feather fan, flying towards the black soldier scorpion that pounced, and after a burst of fire, the black scorpion was gone.
However, on the periphery of the crowd, the situation was not optimistic, dozens of black scorpions were moving at great speed, and with a swing of their hook tails, they took the life of a Jianghu person.
"Hold on and wait for them to come up. Qi Qiong ordered, looking at Qi Xian'er behind him, revealing a worried look. At this moment, his face was slightly pale, and his source power was gradually exhausted.
Lin Xianfeng stood on the periphery of the crowd, his face was solemn, holding the corpse of a black soldier scorpion in his hand, every time the rest of the black soldier scorpion rushed in, he used it as a weapon to smash it open, facing the invulnerable black soldier scorpion, this thing was more useful.
"Beware!" Hearing a loud shout, and at the same time feeling a sound of wind hitting his side, Lin Xianfeng didn't look at it, and smashed the body of the black soldier scorpion in his hand to the side, and the body quickly rolled out to the other side, but as soon as he lay on the ground, a black tail shot out of the sand, penetrated into his abdomen in his frightened gaze, and then dragged his body into the sand.
Qi Xian'er looked at this scene with a frightened face, so frightened that she couldn't speak, Qi Qiong gritted her teeth, and two firebirds flew out of the feather fan in her hand again, knocking down the two jumping black soldier scorpions.
Behind them are Bai Mian and Su Xiaofei, Su Xiaofei is strong and heavy, and the chain in his hand is made of unknown material, which makes the tiger and tiger angry, and every time he can pull the body of the black soldier scorpion far away, Bai Mian faces these black soldier scorpions, but it seems that there is no way, relying on his flexible body to constantly dodge, waving his claws, and from time to time resisting the attack of the scorpion tail for Su Xiaofei, although the two of them cooperate tacitly, but they can also protect themselves.
The situation in other directions was even more worrying, and from time to time there was an unwilling wail, and the man with the sword was guarding the right side, the sword in his hand was out of the sheath, and he was stumbling left and right under the attack of several black scorpions.
Wei Yuyan looked at the precarious crowd, stroked Qi Xian'er's shoulders, his face was anxious, and he had no way to get out for a while.
"Bang", Su Xiaofei's body trembled suddenly, he stood unsteadily, knelt down on one knee, jumped to his other side with a white face, and thrust his claws into a black soldier scorpion, the scorpion's right limb sank deep into Su Xiaofei's calf, making him sweat profusely, even so that he kept dancing the chains, guarding where he was.
The white-faced iron claws slammed into the black armor of the black soldier scorpion, making a ping-pong sound, but it was difficult to pierce, just when the black soldier scorpion's tail hook swung and Su Xiaofei fell into a crisis, a figure flashed, and a palm shattered the black soldier scorpion.
The person who came was Su Yu, and after he came out, he happened to see this scene and decisively helped, but Chen Tai turned a blind eye to the damage of the Jianghu people, and jumped directly to Qi Qiong, Qi Xian'er's side, and protected them.
Su Xiaofei gritted his teeth and said thank you, Su Yu's ears moved, his figure flashed, and he shattered several black scorpions behind him again, leaving two of them behind, and killed the rest of the black scorpions.
Bai Mian and Su Xiaofei are both characters who have met him in the Soul Lingering Tower, but they didn't expect his strength to change so much, and they both gave birth to a look of disbelief.
With the addition of Su Yu and Chen Tai, the situation improved in an instant, and with a cup of tea, the remaining few black scorpions fled into the sand and disappeared.
After everyone calmed down, Qi Qiong took a deep breath, took out a source stone, sat down cross-legged, and recovered the source power in his body.
After a while, he got up, and as Chen Tai continued to speak in his ear, his face was cloudy, and finally he didn't know what Chen Tai said, and his gaze at Su Yu became more and more happy.
Qi Xian'er looked frightened, she kept standing beside Qi Qiong, watching Qi Qiong walking towards Su Yu, she hurriedly followed, but Qi Qiong glanced back at him, his face suddenly became stern, and said: "I told you not to follow secretly, this time fortunately, we have a big fate, if something happens to you, how can I explain to my father?" He said with an ugly expression, and said to Wei Yuyan: "If you weren't my aunt's subordinate, I would definitely punish you severely." ”
Qi Xian'er's eyes turned red when she heard him speak, but she didn't follow anymore, and returned to Wei Yuyan's side, she had just experienced life and death and was reprimanded by Brother Wang, and she looked quite helpless at this moment.
Qi Qiong walked in front of Su Yu, only then did he regain his previous gentleness and elegance, and bowed directly and said: "Thank you for your help, if it weren't for you, Chen Xian might not be able to come out alive from under the sand, and we may have to be more auspicious." In the face of Su Yu, he changed his face and looked very approachable.
Chen Tai also followed beside him, arching his hand at Su Yuyi, looking very grateful.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Your Highness, you don't need to thank you, I have also benefited a lot." ”
Chen Tai opened his mouth and said: "You can't say that, what you get in the cave is the blessing of the little brother, and it has nothing to do with us, with the strength of the little brother gathering the spirit, isn't it condescending to wander on this river and lake? If you join the Qi Palace, it will inevitably be one of the offerings, I don't know if it is intentional?" This sentence is exactly what Qi Qiong wants to ask, and after Chen Tai finished speaking, he looked at Su Yu with a hint of expectation.
Su Yu didn't refuse directly, but asked, "I'm very curious about the cultivation world, I wonder if Brother Chen can tell me?"
Hearing his words, Qi Qiong's face showed regret, Sun Long and Lu Shan were vigorously recruited by him, and after completing this matter, they became the palace worship, but they were damaged in their hands here, and they have not received any big benefits, which is a pity, but if they can recruit Su Yu, then this trip is also worth it. But Su Yu didn't directly agree, but instead asked about the things in the cultivation world, and his purpose was self-evident.
Chen Tai sighed slightly when he heard this, and said to him: "In the cultivation world, you live and die, the strong are respected, if you don't have support, we can't move an inch." He also showed a sad look as he spoke.
Su Yu was unmoved, seeing that he had no intention of saying more, nor was he reluctant, he still had something to do, so he made an excuse at random, and was about to leave, and the moment he left, Qi Qiong's voice came, "If you don't dislike it, your Excellency can come to the Qi Palace, and tell you another story." ”
Su Yu's heart moved, nodded to him, and then the figure bypassed a sand dune and disappeared.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Qi Qiong gave an order, and did not bury them, and a group of people left directly. Walking on the road, Qi Xian'er didn't know what she was thinking, her face showed a look of loss, and Wei Yuyan comforted her softly from time to time.
Seeing that Qi Xian'er's complexion improved slightly, she said to the surrounding Jianghu people: "Out of the desert, your transaction with the haunting dream building will be over, and then you can leave on your own." ”
