Chapter 133: Meet the Skull Mountain Swordsman Again
At present, there are still four people alive in the five-person group of Ye Kui, Lu Sunan and Mao Lilian, and of course, the frost snow deer is also alive.
Only Mao Lilian's three subordinates had been killed by the demon-like guy who was hiding in the fourth hall just now.
"Mr. Ye, for the sake of safety, I think we should exit this place now, but before we leave here, we have to destroy and block the third to first halls, so that the guys in the fourth hall don't run out."
As one of the three people who had just been rescued by Ye Kui, Lu Sunan clearly felt the danger of the monster that was not a human or a demon just now.
"Sunan, I'll give you the flying magic weapon later, you take Mao Lilian and them out first, remember to leave the bottom of this ice cave and go to a safe area, and I'll go to the fourth hall to have a look."
Although Ye Kui knew that there were more dangerous guys in the fourth hall, Ye Kui thought that he could enter and exit it safely, and the point was that Ye Kui wanted to try where his limit was now.
"Mr. Ye can't take risks, maybe we can come here again after a while, go in now, the guy hiding in the fourth hall may still be vigilant about us."
"No need, I've made up my mind, this is a flying magic weapon, you take it."
After Ye Kui finished speaking, he threw a palm-sized triangular item to Lu Sunan.
"Senior Ye, I don't want that frost snow deer anymore, can I... Can you replace it with the head of the monster inside? ”
Mao Lilian couldn't help but speak, although the five-person group was just an ordinary team of bounty monks, but the five of them had worked together for more than ten years, and the brotherhood had deeply linked the five of them.
"Terran monk, the two of you also saw the power of that monster before, it was the realm of the sevenfold realm of the Void Slashing Mirror."
Hearing Mao Lilian's sudden request to Ye Kui, Lu Sunan took the lead in answering, compared to Mao Lilian's safety, Lu Sunan paid more attention to Ye Kui's situation.
Lu Sunan thought that it would be fine if Mr. Ye didn't agree, if Mr. Ye really agreed to Mao Lilian's request, then he would stay and enter the fourth hall with Mr. Ye.
However, in case Mr. Ye agrees to Mao Lilian's request but refuses to enter the fourth hall with him, then Lu Sunan will decide the life and death of Mao Lilian and Mao Lilian's men based on whether Mr. Ye can safely join him afterwards.
"Mao Lilian, I will try to finish what you said, now you can leave here and return to the high snow place, and in a few hours we will meet in the forest where Lu Sunan lives."
"Xie Ye-senpai!"
"Senior Ye pay attention to safety, you don't necessarily really want to kill the monster just now, if Senior Ye encounters any danger because of this, we can't help it."
After Mao Lilian and his subordinates heard that Ye Kui had promised to help get rid of the monsters in the fourth hall, they successively saluted Ye Kui.
"Mr. Ye, I will stay with you and enter the fourth hall."
At this point, Lu Sunan could only say what he just thought.
"Sunan, don't worry, I've already said it, I think it's not difficult to survive here, we'll see you later."
However, Ye Kui still insisted on exploring the fourth hall alone, and in the end, Lu Sunan and Mao Lilian left the underground ice cave exposed after the collapse of the Snow Rift Valley, and flew towards the snow forest where Lu Sunan lived on a flying magic weapon.
When Lu Sunan and the others left here, Ye Kui first took out the seven-inch-long bamboo ring ruler that Mr. Miao gave him from the space ring and pinned it to his waist, and then touched the invisible chain that had been wrapped around his left arm, and then confirmed the situation of the Leaving Immortal Diagram.
"I'm going to trouble you later."
In the end, Ye Kui glanced down at the immortal sword on his waist before he walked towards the closed gate of the fourth hall step by step.
The heavy dark iron gate was pushed open with a "pass", and just as Ye Kui had just stepped a few steps in, the attack unexpectedly struck again.
But this time the guy on the opposite side didn't succeed, Ye Kui turned sideways to avoid the monster that was rushing in, and then Ye Kui didn't care about the monster just now, and began to observe the environment of the fourth hall.
The monster that was like a demon cultivator without a trace of demonic energy began to subconsciously operate the spiritual power in its body, and the strange machete that was as wide as a gate knife behind its back was taken off by the monster's bloody hands and slashed towards Ye Kui.
"Skull Mountain... Knife gas! ”
A dust-colored knife aura that lingered around the blurred skull's face slammed straight towards Ye Kui's location.
"Skull Mountain? What is the relationship between this monster and that Skull Mountain Swordsman Lu Youjin in Comet Cherry City?"
When Ye Kui saw this familiar scene, he directly thought that Lu Youjin was dead.
While thinking about it, the immortal sword on Ye Kui's waist was also unsheathed, and an extremely pure chaotic sword qi slashed towards the oncoming sand-colored sword qi.
The restrained chaotic sword qi collided with the rampant sword qi like a sandstorm and collided together, and both of them collapsed and exploded, seemingly evenly matched, but in fact it was not, if you look closely, the sword qi that would collapse was directly blown aside by the collapsed sword qi.
"A small win is also a win, go on, let me see what other powerful means you have in Skull Mountain."
After the battle, Ye Kui held the sword in one hand, and the other was behind him, not panicking at all.
And the monk on the opposite side, who should be the Skull Mountain Swordsman, saw Ye Kui blocking his attack so easily, and after roaring angrily, he dragged the big knife and rushed towards Ye Kui.
The monster monk brandished a big knife and kept slashing at Ye Kui horizontally and vertically, but Ye Kui was still standing still and perfectly blocking all the attacks on the opposite side.
Probably because of the age, the blade of the machete and the blade of the fairy sword broke after touching more than a dozen times, it immediately became like the gums of an old man who was nearly a hundred years old in the mortal world, there were gaps everywhere, and the fragments of the machete's shattered blades "clanged" and fell around Ye Kui and the monster swordsman.
At this time, the monster swordsman seemed to have a premonition that the big knife would be completely damaged if it was cut down again, so he grabbed the handle of the knife and turned around him a few times, forcing Ye Kui to move some distance away.
"The actual realm of this monster monk should only be the fifth level of the Void Cutting Mirror, far less than the seventh level of the Void Cutting Mirror, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the opposite attack so easily."
After more than a dozen rounds of fighting against the monster swordsman, Ye Kui found that the realm on the other side was not ordinary, and it was not as fierce as the first time they met before.
Just when Ye Kui thought that the other side might be temporarily weakened for some reason, the machete shaped like a guillotine was thrown in front of Ye Kui by the monster swordsman.
With a "dang" sound, the machete was picked up by Ye Kui, and then the machete slashed deeply into the stone wall behind Ye Kui.
"Don't you need a weapon?"
Ye Kui couldn't help frowning, in general, this situation is either to give up resistance, or he is tired of playing and is ready to use all his strength.
At this time, Ye Kui found that the monster swordsman on the opposite side no longer stood up, but fell on all fours, giving people the feeling of a beast, and the appearance of the monster swordsman was just like the appearance of attacking Ye Kui at the beginning.
Now the eyes of the monster swordsman were full of madness, and he opened his mouth like a mad dog to bite Ye Kui.
"This appearance is different from Cai Luoyang, who turned into a toad demon cultivator before, at present, your brain does not belong to you at all, and now you just want to drive me out of the fourth hall or kill me."
Ye Kui stood quietly in place, letting the monster monk run towards him.
The sharp claws of the beast slashed across Ye Kui's face, but they were blocked by Ye Kui's sword, and five fingers with long nails flew away.
However, the monster monk on the opposite side did not stop attacking because of this, and then a bloody mouth bit towards Ye Kui, and this time the clothes on Ye Kui's shoulder were torn open.
If Ye Kui didn't push a few steps away in time, then he would end up being bitten on the shoulder like Mao Lilian's three subordinates, and then split in half from the shoulder.
"Now this monster monk has no brains, no way to be proud, or a superior technique, so there is no use for continuing to observe, so he has to beat it back to the way it holds a knife."
Ye Kui thought that the monster monk on the opposite side should still have his consciousness when he would still slash out the skull mountain sword qi, unlike now, when he seemed to be ordered or biased towards instinct.
The fairy sword was put into the scabbard by Ye Kui, and then the ring ruler pinned to his waist was held in Ye Kui's hand, and the spiritual power in his body began to surge into the ring ruler.
When the monster monk attacked Ye Kui without giving up, Ye Kui found the right time to raise the ring ruler and directly hit the monster monk's right cheek.
After that, gravity without warning directly pressed the monster monk to the ground, and then an angry roar resounded throughout the entire Fourth Great Hall, and even Ye Kui couldn't help but cover his ears.
"It's useless to shout to cut your throat, wait for you to be honest, and after returning to the original state, I will help you get the effect of unlocking the "Gifted Learning", of course, if you haven't returned to your senses, then you can admit it."
With that, Ye Kui covered his ears and walked around the fourth hall.
When Ye Kui found that there were no clues here, he walked towards the fifth hall, and during this time, he also looked back at the monster monk who fell to the ground in the distance but was still yelling.
"If you like to call so much, then you will continue to call for half an hour."
After speaking, Ye Kui vigorously pushed open the dark iron door of the fifth hall.
"Caves?"
Ye Kui, who came to the fifth hall, did not forget to hold things against the Xuantie Gate so as not to hear the cry of the monster monk, and after that, Ye Kui saw that inside the fifth hall was a huge extended cave.
Some of the upside-down dissolved stones are still shining with a slightly green or purple light, and the uneven ground looks wet, and a deep black hole appears directly in some places.
The caverns were muddy puddles, and from time to time bubbles bubbled up, as if someone was hiding in the puddle.
However, after Ye Kui's observation, he found that the entire fifth hall was also empty, even more inconspicuous than the fourth hall.
Just when Ye Kui was still thinking about whether to go to the sixth hall, the cry of the monster monk in the fourth hall had already changed to the word "save me".
"Looks like the monster has turned back."
So Ye Kui returned to the fourth hall again.
The monster monk had become more human-like, but the bones of his body, including his mouth, were still a bit like a monster.
"Judging from the sword technique you used, you should also be a Skullhill Swordsman, how long have you Skullmountain Swordsmen been here?"
Ye Kui helped the monster monk remove the effect of "Giving Learning" once before he began to ask.
"Skull Mountain? Does Skull Mountain still exist? I'm no longer a swordsman at Skull Mountain, I just remember that after I left Skull Mountain, I was recommended to this place, saying that there were many monks here who liked to learn their skills, until they gave me and the other monks an elixir.
In hindsight I've been... I can't remember at all, all I can remember is that I had to secretly kill all the monks who came to the fourth hall. ”
The monster monk patted his head vigorously, trying to recall other memories, but judging by his pained expression, it was likely that he couldn't remember much.
"My name is Ye Kui, I accidentally found this place when I passed by here, who are you? Which immortal gate is here?"
"My name seems to be Lu Jihu, and this is... Be... Yes! I can't remember which immortal gate this is, my brain tingles so much, let me slow down first. ”
"Do you also have the surname Lu? Let's not go to the other halls, like the sixth hall, where I was about to go. ”
Ye Kui looked at Lu Jihu's painful appearance, and paid a little attention to Cai Luoyang's matter in his heart.
"No, the fifth hall is dangerous, you have to pay attention to the pools and the upside-down stone pillars."
Lu Jihu instantly became a little nervous when he heard that Ye Kui was going to the sixth hall, but what made Lu Jihu panic was the fifth hall that Ye Kui didn't care about the most, that is, the cave-like hall.
"What's there? Is it a monk who has taken some kind of elixir like you?"
"That's right, that's it, we seem to have been ordered to guard the main hall where we are, at the beginning there were many monks in each hall, but those monks who broke into these halls began to gradually increase, and even the strength was getting higher and higher
After that, in order not to be defeated, I and the other monks had to choose to take those pills, so the changes in our bodies were also obvious, but it was precisely because of this that we stayed here. ”
When Lu Jihu said this, he looked a little regretful.
"Why are you holding here? What the hell is hidden here?"
"They made us keep it, if we don't do it, the supply of pills will gradually decrease in the future, and the result will be... In the end, my mind and realm will be affected to a certain extent. ”
"Who are they? Monk or Demon Cultivator? Are there any specific characteristics?"
Ye Kui thought that those guys who used the pill to control Lu Jihu might have something to do with the original owner of the pill that Cai Luoyang stole from.
"They... They... Be... Ahhh No, whether it was the things that tricked us into coming here and giving us the elixir a few halls behind it, as soon as I was ready to recall this important information, my mind would go blank, and I would feel a sharp pain. ”
"Then you calm down first, you follow me to the back halls, and now I have explored the fifth hall, which is the dangerous cave hall you mentioned."
"Ye Kui, you have to be very careful, the bottom of those puddles is far wider than it looks, like an ant's nest, and there are old guys who came here decades earlier than us."
Lu Jihu said cautiously, and by the way, he also looked at the open dark iron gate of the fifth hall.
"Lu Jihu, don't worry, when I went to the fifth hall before, I deliberately observed those puddles that looked extremely deep, and there was no aura of monks or demon cultivators in them."
"Really? Maybe... Maybe they died like the guys in our fourth hall, and I'm the only one in the fourth hall who survived. ”
"You're on the same side, you shouldn't be in a civil war, and you're in an environment where the enemy may come at any time, even so, you still have to fight to the death?"
Ye Kui thinks that Lu Jihu can't believe all the words he said, and can only selectively believe part of the information.
"Those guys deceived us and abandoned us, and finally after the pill was interrupted, we slowly lost our minds, and finally instinctively fought."
"I know, this and the topic is here first, let's go to the sixth hall, do you know what kind of place is inside the sixth hall?"
"Heh, the sixth hall is the door of death that blocks all the monks from my first hall to the fifth hall."
Lu Jihu couldn't help but complain in the end, and Ye Kui on the side just glanced at the dark iron gate of the fifth hall and was about to walk through, and finally entered the sixth hall.
"Ye Kui, are you sure you want to go to the sixth hall? It's completely locked up by the guys behind the door, and it can't be broken at all. ”
"That's you, I'm different."
After Ye Kui said this, he ignored Lu Jihu and left the fourth hall by himself, walking towards the sixth hall behind the fifth hall.
On the way, Ye Kui also picked up a few stones on the ground of the fifth cave hall and threw them into the puddle, Ye Kui took Lu Jihu and waited for a while but there was no movement, so he could only walk to the side of the dark iron gate leading to the sixth week hall.
"The material of this dark iron gate is several grades higher than the previous few dark irons, it is not something that ordinary sharp weapons can break, thousands of us have tried to break this solid dark iron gate, but it has no effect at all except for leaving hundreds of shallow traces on it."
Lu Jihu looked at Ye Kui's confident appearance, and still chose to tell Ye Kui about his experience, but Ye Kui just nodded and put his right hand on the hilt of the fairy sword at his waist.
"Broken."
After Ye Kui finished saying two words, the Xuantie Gate that blocked Lu Jihu and thousands of other monks had been cut in half by the sword qi that Ye Kui had slashed out.
"Hey~ Ye Daoyou, your skills and your sword are not ordinary, I shouldn't have been attacking you when I didn't regain my sanity before, right?"
"Of course, I could feel it, you just wanted to tear me apart."
“... Since Ye Daoyou knew that I was not me at that time, he also asked Ye Daoyou not to worry about some things. ”
Lu Jihu was a little afraid, he almost hit the anvil before, it seems that only a few fingers were broken and God was already favoring, if Ye Kui was so serious at the beginning, then he might not even have a chance to regain his sanity before he was killed with a sword.
"Let's go."
The fairy sword was sheathed, Ye Kui walked towards the sixth hall, Lu Jihu thought about it for a while, and finally chose to follow Ye Kui into it.
"It looks a lot normal here, as long as there are no bloodstains."
Ye Kui, who came to the sixth hall, looked like a mixture of a teahouse and a study.
The only thing that was uncomfortable was that a small part of the floor and table top had dried up with red-black bloodstains, and judging from some of the fainter traces, there should have been more blood stains at the beginning.
"There's also a battle here, and it should be that we guys and those crooks have stood up, it seems that the situation is very miserable, but unfortunately it seems that they didn't agree to that group of liars, otherwise they would have opened the dark iron gate that blocked our way."
After Lu Jihu looked at the situation of the sixth hall, he immediately expressed his conjecture.
"You missed a point, there is no corpse here, only bloodstains, the liars you said are very concerned about corpses, and almost all the corpses in the sixth hall are put away, but they are unwilling to clean up the bloodstains on the ground, walls, and desktops."
"It seems that this is the case, Ye Daoyou is meticulous in his observation."
Regarding what Ye Kui said, Lu Jihu didn't care much about it, or didn't want to mention it.
"Let's see if there are any clues left here, and there may be some information recorded in the surrounding papers and some books that have not yet had time to be destroyed."
Ye Kui said as he walked over to a pile of papers, picked them up and flipped through them.
On the side, Lu Jihu didn't say anything, and Ye Kui, who was also learning, began to pick up the papers and torn books that fell on the ground, and then walked to a slightly clean table and sat down to look at the contents of the paper.
After a few incense sticks, Ye Kui and Lu Jihu exchanged some of the books they had collected and the scattered papers for viewing.
"The things recorded on it are basically unimportant contents, mainly the quantity list of some special materials and the proportion of these materials consumed every day."
"Ye Daoyou, is it time for us to get out of here? I don't think there are any important clues in the sixth hall, so it's time to go to the seventh hall. ”
"Yes? Then what do you mean by the few pieces of paper that Lu Jihu secretly hid just now? The above is also not worth watching? And you said you wanted to keep those clues to yourself?"
Ye Kui put down the tattered book in his hand, and then looked at Lu Jihu, who was sitting opposite.
"Ye Daoyou, are you wrong? I've already put all the books and papers I picked up on the table, and besides, you and I are in a cooperative relationship, so why should I deliberately hide anything from you?"
"Lu Jihu, I'll give you another chance, and after I enter the next hall, I won't be as good at talking as I am now."
"Ye Daoyou, why did you wronged me."
Even though the warning in Ye Kui's words was full of meaning, Lu Jihu did not give in, and went to explore Ye Kui's bottom line again.
After the sound of "Zheng", Ye Kui held the fairy sword and hit Lu Jihu's heart.
The tip of the sword obviously did not mean frost, but it made Lu Jihu feel cold all over his body, his body was also frozen subconsciously, his breathing became sluggish, and his heart felt inexplicably stinging as if he was being slowly stabbed.
"Leaf... Ye Daoyou! Those three pieces of paper are in my arms! ”
"Take it out yourself and put it on the table."
"It's... Whew~"
Lu Jihu was so nervous that his hands holding the paper trembled, and at the same time, he couldn't help but exhale deeply, trying to return his "thump" beating heart to normal.
Afterwards, Ye Kui put away the fairy sword, picked up the three scattered papers on the table, and looked back and forth.
"I see, no wonder you want to hide these pieces of paper, the clues of spirit stones, pills, and treasures are all recorded on these three pieces of paper.
Lu Jihu, it seems that it is not unreasonable for you to be deceived here, you were probably lured by those guys here with similar things before, right? ”
After Ye Kui finished speaking, he received the three pieces of paper in his hand that recorded the spirit stones, pills, and treasures into the space ring, and then looked at Lu Jihu.
"Ye Daoyou, I... I'm too... Also, I'm going to tell you these clues later, and it's not what you want it to be. ”
"At this time, you still want to quibble, so what percentage of the things you said before are true or false? The thought of the important clues related to this place makes my mind go blank and I have a splitting headache, hehe. ”
Ye Kui asked Lu Jihu in a somewhat mocking tone.
After Lu Jihu, who was sitting at the table not far away, heard Ye Kui say this, Lu Jihu frowned at first, clenched his fists, and seemed to be struggling with something.
