Chapter 22: Ambush
The Night God Sacrifice and the others didn't know what had happened here after they left the Black Wind Cottage, and under the leadership of a Qingcheng Sect disciple who was familiar with the mountains and valleys here, the Night God Sacrifice and his party slowly walked towards the location of the spirit stone vein.
The road was calm, and the Night God Sacrifice, who was a spirit refiner, naturally walked in the center of the team, and the Night God Spirit followed closely behind the Night God Sacrifice. He held the white-haired beast in his arms with both hands, stretched out his crystal fingers and poked the furry fur of the white-haired beast from time to time, and the pretty little face showed an innocent smile from time to time.
This time, the entourage was all the more powerful disciples of the Qingcheng faction, they were all martial arts practitioners, and they naturally walked up the mountain road much faster than ordinary people. However, in an hour, under the leadership of the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect, the Night God Sacrifice and his party finally came to the front of the cave where the Heavenly Spirit Pill was found.
The cave was located in a valley surrounded by mountains, looking at the dark and deep entrance of the cave in front of him, a faint flash of blood flashed in the calm eyes of the night god, and a looming six-pointed star pattern slowly emerged from his pupils.
Opening the Night God Sacrifice of the Night God's Pupil, he turned his head and cautiously observed the situation around the valley, and when he found that no one else was following him, he turned his gaze to the dark cave.
"I'll go into this cave with my sister, and you stay outside here, so that if something happens, you can take care of us. The Night God Priest looked at the dark cave's eyes with a faint glint of blood, at this time he was staring at the cave intently, plus the blood in his pupils was deliberately suppressed by him, so many disciples of the Qingcheng Sect did not notice the abnormality of his pupils.
"Shaoxia, the old man should go in with you, this cave looks a little strange, if there are any traps in it, I can also take care of Shaoxia, right?" Yu Hai, the head of the Qingcheng faction, said with a somewhat flattering smile, the reason why he took the initiative to ask to enter this cave with the Night God Sacrifice was nothing more than to see if he could happen to get some good things in the cave.
What the head of the Qingcheng faction was thinking, the extraordinary Night God Sacrifice could naturally see it, but he also knew that everyone had a more or less fluke mentality, so he didn't want to refuse Yu Hai's request strictly, but replied coldly, "I can't see any danger in this cave, if you have to go in, it's no wonder that you die inside!"
"Of course, of course!" Yu Hai smiled a little awkwardly and said respectfully to the Night God Sacrifice.
In the face of the absolute strength gap, he couldn't help but greet him with a smile, if he turned his face because he offended the young man in front of him, then everyone in their Qingcheng faction would have to die.
Fortunately, this young man named Ye Yun didn't look like that kind of vicious person, otherwise he really wouldn't dare to follow him into the cave, otherwise, once this young man found any secret treasure in this cave, it would be difficult to say that he would probably do that murderous thing.
Thinking of this, the head of the Qingcheng faction couldn't help but sigh helplessly in his heart, if it weren't for the development of the entire sect, why would he, as the head of a faction, put himself in such a dangerous situation?
"Let's go. The Night God Priest said expressionlessly, and then raised his feet and slowly walked into the cave, although the movements seemed to be casual, but he always paid attention to the situation in the cave, once any trap was triggered, he had to bring the Night God out of the cave as soon as possible!
It's no wonder that the Night God Sacrifice is so cautious, because even if he opens the Night God Pupil at this time, he can only see the scene within the back ten zhang of the cave at most, but this cave is obviously very deep, and beyond the ten zhang, what the Night God Sacrifice's strange eyes see is still a deep darkness.
At this time, the night god also seemed to sense the strangeness of this cave, and saw it carefully follow behind the night god sacrifice, stretching out a small hand to tightly pull one of the sleeves of the night god sacrifice, and the other hand was holding the white-haired beast in his arms.
As the three of them gradually walked into the cave, the eyes of the Night God Spirit's water spirit cave people were also turning, but her cultivation and pupil power could not be compared with the Night God Sacrifice, and at most she could only see the scenery within three zhang clearly.
Under the observation of the Night God Priest, this cave has nothing special except that it is relatively deep, and the only strange thing is that the width of the cave continues to increase as they go deeper into it.
But they had walked in the cave for nearly three quarters of an hour, but they still hadn't reached the end of the cave, and all they saw in front of them were countless stone stalactites hanging down from the top of the cave, and they didn't find the heavenly and earthly treasures that might exist in the imagination of the Night God Sacrifice.
"It seems that the spirit pill that day should have been left behind by a certain spirit refiner who came to this cave, and this cave is not as I thought, it is a treasure land where there are treasures of heaven and earth......
The Night God Sacrifice secretly analyzed it in his heart, and then raised his eyes to look into the depths of this cave, the spiritual power in the meridians converged into his eyes under his control, and his pupils suddenly burst out with a strong blood-colored light under the infusion of spiritual power, and under the urging of spiritual power, the power of the Night God's pupils became a little stronger.
This was the greatest power that the Pupil of the Night God could show in front of his eyes, and even so, the Night God Sacrifice only saw through the cave again about sixty zhang in the range. Beyond this range, there is still a dark depth that is difficult to see through with the naked eye.
"Shaoxia, your eyes?" Seeing that a strong blood-colored light suddenly erupted in the eyes of the Night God Sacrifice, Yu Hai, who was caught off guard, couldn't help but be startled, and only after finding that the Night God Sacrifice had no other actions did he ask cautiously.
"I just performed a kind of spiritual magic, and I saw that this cave seemed to be endless, I thought we should go back, and I guess we won't find anything good if we go on like this. The Night God Sacrifice turned his head and glanced at Yu Hai indifferently, but there was still a hint of coldness in his eyes, and the Night God Sacrifice was still very tired of Yu Hai's approach of asking about his eye pupils.
But in order to prevent Yu Hai from thinking crankily because of the blood in his eyes, the Night God Sacrifice still opened his mouth to explain.
"Well, I think Shaoxia is right, since that's the case, then let's go back. This Yu Hai also felt that there was a strange atmosphere in this cave, although he had been holding a torch in his hand, but the fire light emitted by the burning of the torch could only illuminate the area less than a zhang away from him, this strange phenomenon, coupled with the gusts of wind in this cave, made the fear in his heart even more.
Of course, people are not only afraid of limited vision in the dark, but also the unknown danger in the dark.
The unknown or the crisis is the most frightening.
Just as the Night God Priest pulled the Night God Spirit to turn around and wanted to leave the deep cave, there were several terrible screams faintly outside the cave.
As a spirit refiner of the Spirit Envoy Realm, the Night God Sacrifice's hearing was much more sensitive than that of the Night God Spirit and Yu Hai, as soon as he heard these screams, a cold killing intent immediately erupted on his body, and he turned his head and looked coldly at Yu Hai, the head of the Qingcheng faction.
A trace of killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Night God Sacrifice as he looked at Yu Hai, because the screams he heard were made by those Qingcheng Sect disciples. At this time, those people must have been killed, which is enough to show that they have encountered an ambush.
Knowing that they would come to this cave, except for the people from the Qingcheng faction, no one else should know the news, so the Night God Sacrifice immediately suspected Yu Hai's head.
It's just that when the Night God Sacrifice turned his head to look at Yu Hai, the unpretentious look of shock on the latter's face made the doubt in his heart dissipate a little.
If it was an ambush arranged by him, then there was no need for him to follow me into this cave with a dead face, so who was the one who arranged this ambush?
The Night God Sacrifice lowered his head and muttered in his heart for a moment, thinking of the Black Wind Cottage's somewhat abnormal behavior, a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes, "It's the ambush of the Black Wind Cottage!"
"Black Wind Cottage?" Although Yu Hai's hearing sensitivity was not as good as that of the Night God Sacrifice and the Night God Spirit, he had already guessed what was going on outside the cave at this time, "Did they expect that we would come to this cave to investigate?"
"It should be so, maybe they have also set up an ambush in the spirit stone vein ten miles away, but these are not important, for now, we should go out of this cave first!"
It's just that after he saw a burst of blood-colored mist spreading in from outside the cave, the look on his face was extremely ugly for a moment, and the steps he took out subconsciously retracted.
"What's wrong? Did they chase after me?"
At this time, the blood-colored mist had already spread to a place fifty zhang away from the Night God Sacrifice, but Yu Hai did not have the powerful pupil power of the Night God Sacrifice, so he naturally couldn't see the blood-colored mist. After seeing the Night God Sacrifice returning, he asked with some confusion.
"See for yourself. The Night God Sacrifice reached out and took the torch in Yu Hai's hand and threw it out with all his might.
The torch was still burning and fell just forty zhang away, and through the light of the torch, Yu Hai saw a hazy blood mist slowly drifting in from outside the cave, and when he passed the torch, the torch actually dissolved in the mist in an instant.
"This, what kind of poisonous fog is this? There is such a strong poisonous surname?" Seeing such a terrifying scene in front of him, Yu Hai was even more shocked to take a few steps back, even wood can be corroded so easily, then with human flesh and blood, once it is stained with these poisonous fogs, wouldn't there be no bones left?
