Chapter 166: Trouble

"Second brother, this is..."At this time, the third leader also flew from not far away, stood beside the second leader, looked at the huge ravine below, and asked suspiciously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When the second leader heard this, he just shook his head and looked behind.

"Third child, you take a column and go down here to take a look, I always feel that there should be something down there. The second leader took a deep breath, and did not take his eyes off the abyss for a moment.

"You mean down here?" The three leaders stared at each other, a little incredulous, muttered for a while, but still nodded, and directly led a column, with twelve demon soldiers, down the edge of the ravine.

Xu Ran also paid attention to his every move at the moment, and after learning the information that the three leaders came down, his eyes instantly became cold, and his current body was not enough to go toe-to-toe with a Jindan sixth-layer powerhouse.

"Hopefully... He didn't want to doubt anything. Xu Ran knew very well that although the ravine above was huge, you could go inside from the ravine, the area here was very narrow, and although his cave was hidden, after all, the other party was the sixth layer of Jindan, and he only needed to sweep it through his spiritual sense.

Whoosh!

Twelve figures appeared in the ground together, led by the three leaders, their eyes were like electricity, and their spiritual sense instantly covered the ground, and after a while, his brows furrowed slightly, and he found Xu Ran in the cave.

"Xu Ran's protector?" The three leaders quickly came to a cave inside, and saw Xu Ran sitting cross-legged in the cave, and couldn't help but be surprised, the latter's condition was very bad, his face was pale, and his lips were not bloody at all.

"Three chiefs. Xu Ran opened his eyes slightly at this time, his face was tired, and when he saw the arrival of the three leaders, a smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth.

"You.. Why are you here, Chi Python Protector?" The eyes of the three leaders moved slightly, revealing an anxious look, and the twelve demon soldiers in the back looked at each other, obviously they didn't expect that Xu Ran would appear here.

"This matter is a long story..."Xu Ran coughed lightly, his tired color became even stronger, he told the three leaders all what had happened, and paid all the spiritual sense of his body to the facial expressions of the three leaders.

The distance between the two is very close, Xu Ran's Blood Song Sword and Black Stone are ready, if the other party notices something, he will use swift means to kill the latter here!

However, this is also a last resort.

After all, there is a second leader above, once he kills the third leader, it is probably impossible to escape under the nose of the second leader.

Xu Ran described it in detail, but he still processed it a little, hid his experience of killing the three people, and fabricated a fact at random, saying that in order to save himself, Chi Python alone led the other two Dharma protectors away.

"You mean, the Python Protector is still fighting to the death with the Linglong Protector?" The three leaders' eyes shrank, revealing a look of surprise, Xu Ran took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

"You.. Your strength?" At this time, the three leaders suddenly noticed Xu Ran's strength, although the latter was weak, but judging from his cultivation, it was no longer the second layer of Jindan half a day ago, but reached the third layer of Jindan!

"It happened to break through in battle. Xu Ran said without changing his face.

"So that's the case..."The three leaders retracted their gaze, obviously everything Xu Ran said shocked him, and it would take a while to accept it, but the rumors of discord between the West Mansion and the East Mansion seemed to be true.

"That's it, Xu Ran Protector, you go to my Poison Toad Palace to rest first, and I will send several teams from the Poison Toad Palace to search thousands of miles outside the palace, and once there is a trace of the Python Protector, I will notify you immediately. The three leaders spoke, judging from the previous contact with Xu Ran, the latter just didn't like to talk, and as for his temperament or something, he was easy-going.

The key is that when he saw Xu Ran's injury, he didn't think too much about it, and directly ordered the demon soldiers in the rear to help Xu Ran up.

"Then thank you, three leaders. Xu Ran squeezed out a smile again.

......

The second leader outside the ravine, looking around, he always felt that this place did not seem to be as simple as he imagined, and at this moment, the three leaders flew out of the ravine with everyone, including Xu Ran.

"Xu Ran's Dharma Protector?" The second leader's eyes froze, with surprise on his face, this ravine was too deep, and his previous spiritual sense couldn't penetrate too far at all, which was why Chi Python didn't find Xu Ran in the first place. What he didn't expect was that Xu Ran was hiding in this ravine.

"Second Chief." Xu Ran's face turned even paler, and he squeezed out a smile again, which made people tremble.

"Second brother.." The three leaders also came to the latter's side at this time, and the two of them bowed their heads and explained, a touch of horror appeared on the latter's face, and he barely hesitated, "Quickly send Xu Ran's protector into my poisonous toad palace, so that he can recuperate!"

"Yes!"

"Then thank you, Second Leader. Xu Ran thanked again.

"Whatever Xu Ran's Dharma Protector says, you can recuperate with peace of mind. As for other things, don't think too much about it, just leave it to our Poison Toad Palace. The second leader smiled and spoke, looking at Xu Ran's figure, after disappearing into the distance, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he turned back to the third leader and spoke.

"Third brother, you've caused a big trouble this time!"

The three leaders were stunned, and then they were puzzled, "Second brother, what are you talking about, we have saved Xu Ran's Dharma Protector now... If this spreads to the Hell-Spirits, then the Hell-Spirits will not give us any good?

"Alas. Third brother, do you really not know or pretend not to know?" the second leader frowned, his face changed, and he shook his head from time to time.

"Second brother, don't scare me, what's going on!" the third leader was also anxious and spoke directly.

The second leader looked around again, looked at the ruin everywhere, muttered for a while, and sighed again,

"First, did you notice Xu Ran's injuries before?" the second leader asked, "His injuries are very strange, he has almost no external injuries, but his breath is fluctuating, and the whole person is quite weak, and there are blood stains everywhere around him, obviously he has experienced a battle to the death..."

"When you say that, I remember. The three leaders were stunned, he had swept over Xu Ran with his spiritual sense just now, and found that the latter had a light flesh wound. In the big war, this kind of injury was simply incredible, and he also had doubts about it, but he didn't say it.

"Second... Do you think that with the character of the Chi Python, it will lead the two Dharma Protectors of the Eastern Mansion away?" the second leader continued.

Hearing this, the eyes of the three leaders shrank, and their minds were roaring, in his impression, the pool python was insidious and vicious, and it could be seen from the demon soldier in front of the poisonous toad palace that this person was extremely deep in the city, and it was impossible for him to lead the other party away for the sake of a fellow protector, regardless of his life.

The faces of the three leaders changed instantly, and they looked in the direction where Xu Ran left, and there was a dead silence for a while, and he could hear his heartbeat, which sounded like a drum.

"This... This.." He seemed to think of something, but then shook his head.

"Third, now that the three of them have disappeared, and his Xu Ran's strength has increased greatly, among them... You didn't suspect anything?" the second leader took a deep breath and looked at the latter, his gaze sharpening.

"I've thought about it too. But he, only the third layer of Jindan, even before the breakthrough, he was only the second layer of Jindan, this kind of strength, how is it possible..."The three leaders looked confused.

"Hehe... Third brother, do you think that a demon cultivator of the second layer of Jindan can serve as the protector of their Earth Demon Mountains? As far as I know, the reason why this eighth cave protector was replaced by Xu Ran is precisely because the previous protector died in an operation to capture an immortal cultivator!"

"Immortal cultivators?" the three leaders were stunned, "Immortal cultivators can still be mixed into this underground?"

"I don't know, it's just... He Xu Ran, it will definitely not be as simple as it seems, and it is also a big hidden danger for you to place him in my poisonous toad palace!" the second leader shook his head, "If it is according to my speculation, these three people are afraid... has already died under this Xu Ran's hands, as for the Earth Demon Ridge, it should soon be able to find out that it is my poisonous toad palace here. ā€

After speaking, the second leader shook his head with a wry smile.

"Second brother, why didn't you say it earlier!" When the three leaders heard this, they were also about to cry anxiously, the three Dharma protectors in their Earth Demon Ridge fell outside his Poison Toad Palace, and this alone was enough to make his Poison Toad Palace be turned upside down.

"Say it early and late, it's useless now, what we have to do now is to appease this Xu Ran, don't let him have any doubts, and when he leaves, we will attribute all the fault to him, let's say that the death of the three Chi Pythons was all caused by Xu Ran..."

"Even if we say it, will he believe it?"

"Believe it or not, it's their business, believe in their own hearts, know better than anyone else. Remember, also inform the eldest brother, don't annoy this Xu Ran, otherwise once you find a handle for him, a wicked person will sue first..."

"Okay, I see, second brother. The three leaders nodded, and the two sighed softly and disappeared as well.

......

Three days later, Xu Ran bid farewell to the Poison Toad Palace, and his body returned to its strong period.

"They were all waiting for me to go. ā€

Xu Ran smiled bitterly, looking at the second and third leaders below, although there were smiles on their faces, but behind this smile, the hypocrisy hidden could also be seen with Xu Ran's current vision.

He's no longer the boy he was when he first went underground.

"Next, head to the Dragon Cave. Xu Ran took a deep breath, as for what Dong Mantis said before, enveloping the rest of the demon cultivators along the way, he would never be able to do it, he was very worried about the safety of the spirit dog, the Dragon Cave was not as good as here, even the Third Highness there, he dared to fight with the seventh layer of Jindan!

"Strength.." Xu Ran clenched his fists, quite thirsty for strength, as for the storage bags of these three Dharma protectors, he also turned over for himself, there were just some magic weapons or strange spells, in the storage bag of the Linglong Dharma Protector, there was also a book of witch Gu methods, as for the others, they did not play any role in Xu Ran.

"These divine weapons, if they are taken out so casually, it will inevitably make others suspicious, so I will leave them here for the time being, and when the time is ripe, I will take them out. I don't need it, but Xiaotian still needs it!" Xu Ran secretly put away these divine weapons.

He glanced at the light curtain in his mind, and the system level LV13 (280,000/400,000) couldn't help frowning slightly.

"There is still 120,000 years of experience, and now I leave the Poison Toad Palace and rush to the Qiulong Cave, even if I go down at full speed, it will take a month and a half, and by then Xiaotian they have already arrived, and along the way, they will pass through a riot area. ā€

Xu Ran's brain was running rapidly, this riot area was not ruled by powerful demon cultivators, it was chaotic, and it belonged to the paradise of the strong, and when they went to the Qiulong Cave, they had passed by once.

There are countless places like this in this vast area, and there are too many.

"Now that the four-tailed fox has reached the fourth layer of Jindan, plus the black stone and the blood song sword, the fifth layer of Jindan will definitely no longer be a problem, even if you face the sixth layer of Jindan, you can use the sword technique, and dare to fight... But it's just a battle, the consumption of the sword technique is too great, and the sword technique can't be used unless it is a last resort, and I don't have Zhu Dan anymore. Xu Ran analyzed.

"Now that I am going to the Qiulong Cave, my strength is very critical, for the sake of insurance, and without delaying the time, I must also reach the fifth layer of Jindan. ā€

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Ran no longer hesitated, followed the line in his mind, harnessed the Blood Song Sword, and hurried to the direction where the spirit dog was at full speed.

Ten days passed in a hurry.

He flew for ten days, and he rushed to this area of the riot, his luck was not bad, he met three green claw insects on the way, all of them were on the first layer of Jindan, and then he met Xu Then, before he could react, he was completely killed by him.

"Three one-layer gold pills. Xu Ran spoke, "System, swallow them." ā€

"To the northwest, a three-story ground fox with Jindan. Xu Ran swept his spiritual sense and directly found a ground fox hiding behind the stone wall, and it had also seen Xu Ran deal with the three green claw insects before, so he hid.

"Die!"

Xu Ran took out his sword, slashed the latter's body with a knife, grabbed Jin Dan, and continued to rush at full speed.

Although this is a riot area, most of the powerful Jindan demon beasts are hiding, so much so that Xu Ran sometimes takes half a day to find one.

The black stone crashed into the body of a pangolin with golden scale armor, only to see that the latter was like a leather ball, which was bounced by the black stone in the air, and the pangolin's scales also fell from the sky, and it was covered with blood in an instant, and the smell of blood was strong.

Xu Ran flicked his fingers, and the Blood Song Sword stabbed into its abdomen, directly snatching the latter's golden pill.

"Jindan is three layers.." Xu Ran was overjoyed.

But at this moment, the ground began to roar, the earth was shaking, Xu Ran was unstable, and almost fell to the ground, not far from his front, there was a loud bang, and I saw an area collapse instantly, followed by a behemoth, surging up from that area, revealing a huge head.

A pair of blood-red eyes were staring at Xu Ran, and the terrifying killing intent descended directly on his head.

"Jindan fifth-layer earth dragon..."Seeing this, a smile rose at the corner of Xu Ran's mouth.
