Chapter 27: Before the Storm (Part II)

"Squeak Squeak"

The white-haired tarantula king danced his arthropods, his fangs swallowed, and in the blink of an eye, he devoured Tuo Zhentian cleanly.

In the end, only an inhumanoid head remained, with a white skeleton.

"Duan Mu!"

Duan Gaojing called.

After a while, the pock-faced monk walked lightly from the other side of the stone gate and said respectfully, "What instructions does the young master have?" ”

"Throw the remains of the old monster to the depths of the mine, act in secrecy, and don't let people see it!"

Duan Gaojing admonished, picked up two tarantula king's fluffy hairs from the blood pit and stuck them on his skull.

"Don't worry, young master, the old slave will do it well."

Duan Mu collected the bones and threw them into the storage bag, and then said in a cold voice: "The people below report that Lu Yun's kid entered our No. 1 mining area not long ago. Young master, do you want to order Hei Ba'er to kill him? ”

"Not yet. That guy and Meng Yan are very close, don't get into trouble anymore. ”

Duan Gaojing's eyes moved, and then he vetoed.

In order to disguise Tuo Zhentian as being killed by a wild white-haired tarantula, Duan Gaojing didn't even take any of his belongings.

In this way, even if Tuo Zhentian's bones were discovered, the overseer would not pursue him.

But if someone dies again and again at the hands of the monster, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the overseer.

Now the white-haired tarantula king, whose strength has increased greatly, is his most favored right-hand man, and he must not be easily abandoned.

Therefore, he resolutely rejected Duan Mu's proposal.

"The old slave understood."

Duan Mu nodded, and then retreated.

"Meng Yan still has half a year to serve, and when he leaves, Duan will come to play with you again."

Touching the beard on his lips, Duan Gaojing smirked.

For him, Chen Ping is not as deep as the sea, and he must be killed.

Of course, once there is a suitable opportunity, Duan Gaojing will not let it go.

……

The terrain of the western half of the mine is much more complex than that of the eastern one.

There are more than 100 bifurcated passages alone.

Even though Chen Ping galloped all the way non-stop, the search was not completed for several days.

On the map, only the last tenth of the area has not been searched.

"Where the hell are you hiding?"

Chen Ping talked to himself, but he was not in a hurry and retreated from the fork in the road.

Compared with Meng Lingqiu's exact whereabouts, looking for Ye Mofan is only a trivial matter.

Calculating the time, it was less than seven days before the opening of the Chixiao Sect's trading conference.

If Meng Lingqiu was going to go to the distant Mingji Island to attend the trading conference in person, then he would probably leave in the next two days.

Taking a square step, Chen Ping came to the platform again.

Looking around, there was no trace of Meng Yan.

Only Yu Man sat alone in the center.

Chen Ping secretly rejoiced, and said casually: "Fairy Yu, forgive me for disturbing me, dare to ask where Meng Dao's friends went?" ”

Yu Man folded the green silk, threw a piece of jade slip to the ground, and said in a voice like a silver bell: "Look for yourself, Meng Yan Daoyou entrusted me to hand it over to you before leaving." ”

"Does this woman hate me so much?"

A flash of anger flashed in Chen Ping's eyes, he bent down to pick up the jade slip, and after quickly inspecting it, the corners of his mouth turned upwards wickedly.

There are only two short sentences in the jade slip.

"The three elders have left the island yesterday."

"Meng will definitely live up to his trust, and he will return to the island in the coming day to reunite with Brother Lu."

Chen Ping made up his mind.

As soon as Meng Lingqiu left, there was no foundation building master here.

But just in case, he decided to venture out of the cave.

At night, the ghost wind howls in the veins.

Yu Man lay on the stone bed and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Around her, there were two pale cyan formation flags, which should be a simple early warning formation.

As her breathing became more even, a dark shadow passed silently across the platform.

This ghostly black shadow is Chen Ping.

At this moment, he used his crape myrtle breathing technique with all his might, and came to the outside of the cave like chasing the wind and electricity.

Lying on a dirt slope, with an invisible ripple of water, Chen Ping unfolded his divine sense and shrouded the outside world recklessly.

At the same time, he was also ready to fight.

Once the news is wrong and Meng Lingqiu does not leave the mine, Chen Ping will directly attack and fight to the death.

Five zhang, ten zhang, fifty zhang, two hundred zhang, one thousand zhang.

Chen Ping tiptoed like a ghost at night wandering between the basins.

The night is getting darker, and the moon is in the sky.

Chen Ping returned to the vein with a smile on his face.

The Seven-Colored Hongtai Formation, within the coverage of this second-level formation, except for the forbidden area where the situation is unknown, there are only eleven monks left in the Meng Yu family.

Among them, four have nine levels of Qi training, and two have seven layers of Qi training.

and the four eighth-layer silver armor guards guarding the outside of the formation.

As for Yu Man, who was sitting on the platform, he ignored it openly.

It's just a sixth-layer girl who practices qi.

As for those who practiced qi at the seventh or eighth level, they didn't have to worry too much, they could be wiped out.

Slightly tricky were the four cultivators who were at the peak of the Qi Realm.

Of course, it was only possible to pose some threat to him.

……

Taizhu Mountain, copper crystal vein.

Beams of colorful and brilliant glow are released from a certain space.

At the height of the light, a golden ornate lotus platform was placed.

The lotus platform is not surrounded by a circle of lotus petals, but a blade with a golden hilt.

It makes this lonely night have a touch of solemnity.

This is where the eye of the seven-colored rainbow array is located.

A plainly dressed white-haired old woman was standing in front of Meng Ping, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Sixth brother, the third elder is bent on crossing Mingji Island, do you want to send a note to report this matter to the family?" ”

Meng Ping's face was bitter, and he slowly shook his head and said, "Don't you know the temperament of the three elders?" ”

"If we stab into the family, he will only deduct the money at most."

"But you and I will not have a good time in the future, and the sixth brother of the foundation building monk can't bear it!"

After listening to him, the white-haired old woman also smiled bitterly: "Fujishan Island has lost the master of foundation building, and I am afraid that it will be unpredictable." The family has recruited miners over the years, and it is said that it has no choice but to arouse the suspicion of other forces. ”

"Alas!"

Meng Ping couldn't help but sigh, with a headache.

How could he not know the worries of the eighth sister Meng Xiu, but the other party was an elder of the foundation who held real power, and he was really helpless.

"The risk mainly comes from outside the big array, and those scattered cultivation realms in the mine cave are low, so there is no need to be too guarded."

"And the three elders will only be gone for a month at most."

Meng Ping said helplessly: "These days, let's work harder, and reduce the daily rest time by one hour." ”

"I also ask the two Taoist friends of the Yu family to bear with me."

After saying that, Meng Ping hugged his fists towards the two blue-clothed monks opposite the lotus platform who looked and had surprisingly the same figure, and said sincerely.

"Yes, my Yu family also accounts for forty percent of the shares of the vineyard island vein, and my brothers will naturally not only work but not contribute."

The twin monks looked at each other and replied in unison.
