How to explore the cave, of course, Zhou Mingde is not up to him alone.

In the face of Shen Borong's inquiry, he only said a few points.

After some discussion, the three of them reached an agreement.

According to the results of the discussion between the three of them, the three of them were responsible for exploring the cave, while Zhou Chun and the other three juniors were presiding over the formation outside to prevent the valley from being exposed to the sight of other monks.

After the plan was drawn up, Shen Borong took out a set of array plates and arranged the magic circle, covering the valley.

And the control of the formation flag was handed over to Zhou Chun and the other three foundation building monks.

In this way, even if the three of them turn their faces when exploring the cave, there will be someone above them to answer them.

After everything was ready, Zhou Mingde explained a few words to Zhou Chun, and then took the Fire God Jackal and Shen Borong and Ruan Hongxiang down the underground cave together.

According to Shen Borong, that earth armor dragon was indeed the guardian demon beast of the underground cave.

When he and Ruan Hongxiang found the cave mansion and were about to enter the cave mansion, they alarmed the demon beast, and then a big battle began.

As for how they discovered this cave buried deep underground, it is not explained.

At this time, the three of them went all the way down the underground cave, and after going about a hundred feet underground, they arrived at the outside of the cave.

This cave is hidden deep underground, and it seems that there is no direct passage to the surface.

Or that there used to be a passage, but it was reburied by the owner.

Now the tunnel that Zhou Mingde and the three of them are walking are actually excavated by Shen Borong and the others.

And at the end of the tunnel is where the cave is located.

At this time, what appeared in front of Zhou Mingde was a stone wall glowing with yellow aura.

"This stone wall is protected by the formation, and Shen and Ruan Daoyou attacked for a quarter of an hour before, and it only changed slightly, and then it attracted that earth armor dragon!"

Shen Borong stared at the stone wall in front of him, and said the results of his previous exploration in a low tone.

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde couldn't help but have a gleam in his eyes, and said softly: "Can Shen Daoyou and Ruan Daoyou attack for a quarter of an hour without being moved, and there are third-order mid-grade demon beasts guarding it, the cultivation realm of the original owner of this cave mansion is very exciting!" ”

When Shen Borong and Ruan Hongxiang heard this, they didn't speak.

They all knew in their hearts that this cave was so hidden, and it was guarded by a powerful formation, and eighty percent was the cave of a Jindan monk.

It's just that before entering the cave, these are just speculations.

Soon Shen Borong said in a deep voice: "Let's do it together, even if it is the cave mansion of the Jindan period monk, if no one presides over it, the three of us should be able to shake it together!" ”

"Okay, let's give it a try."

Zhou Mingde nodded, and when he sacrificed the magic weapon, he ordered the fire god jackal to launch an attack together.

Thundered!

A roar rang out from the ground, and the entire valley trembled.

On the ground, Zhou Chun and the other two foundation building monks saw this, their expressions tightened slightly, and they couldn't help but be a little more worried about their own parents.

Time passed little by little, and soon Zhou Mingde and the others had continued to attack for half an hour.

And after the attack of the three of them and one demon for half an hour, the yellow aura on the wall in front of them has been worn away by most of it, and it is not far away to completely disperse.

This kind of progress visible to the naked eye is undoubtedly a great incentive for the three of them.

But just as the three of them were expecting to maintain the offensive, expecting the moment when the stone wall would shatter, an accident happened.

At that time, the three of them and the demon all focused on attacking the stone wall, and suddenly the underground passage they were in collapsed without warning.

In an instant, countless mud and rocks were buried, directly burying the three people and one demon deep underground.

At the same time, Zhou Chun and the others on the ground also instantly discovered that a depression and ravine appeared on the ground of the valley.

"Oh no, the tunnel has collapsed!"

Zhou Chun's complexion changed, and he instantly understood the reason for the appearance of the ravine.

Then he hurriedly ran forward and summoned the golden armor rock turtle to start digging a ditch to save people.

Seeing this, Shen Borong and Ruan Hong's juniors also panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to dig together.

But less than half an hour after the three of them had excavated, the ground of the valley suddenly exploded, and a huge jackal rushed out of it.

There was no doubt that the jackal was the Vulcan jackal.

And just after the fire god jackal rushed out, Zhou Mingde also appeared on the ground.

Seeing Zhou Mingcheng come out safe and sound, Zhou Chun also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Elder Taishang, are you okay, what happened below?" ”

"The old man is fine, it was the earth armor dragon that struck again, and this beast collapsed the tunnel while I was waiting to attack the Dongfu Great Array!"

Zhou Mingde waved his hand and said in a deep voice the reason for the collapse of the ground.

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun didn't say anything, and the juniors left by Shen Borong over there immediately bowed down to him and begged: "Please also ask Senior Zhou to save the junior master!" ”

Seeing this, the juniors left by Ruan Hongjiao also hurriedly followed and saluted: "Please save Senior Zhou, save your junior aunt and grandmother!" ”

"Don't worry, the two Daoists, Zhou will help Shen Daoyou and them."

Zhou Mingde said, and immediately dug up with the fire god jackal.

After a short time, Shen Borong and Ruan Hongxiang were also rescued.

It's just that unlike Zhou Mingde, who was uninjured, Ruan Hongxiang, who was attacked by the earth armor dragon, was already seriously injured.

"The underground is the home of that beast, and we are in the underground and have no power to fight against it, I'm afraid this matter will have to be discussed in the long run!"

Shen Borong looked at Ruan Hong's makeup, which was pale, and said in a heavy tone.

He didn't suffer any damage, but Ruan Hongxiang's injury made them powerless to compete with Zhou Mingde's master and servant.

In this case, of course, he didn't want to continue to explore the cave mansion, lest he would be snatched away by Zhou Mingde by virtue of his strength after discovering any benefits at that time.

And the results of their joint attack before also showed that it was difficult for this cave to enter easily by relying on either of them.

Not to mention that there is also a third-order mid-grade earth armor dragon peeping at the side, and it will attack anyone who wants to enter the cave at any time.

So he also has a certain confidence in saying this kind of thing at this time.

"Then according to Shen Daoyou's opinion, how should I think about it in the long run?"

Zhou Mingde looked at Shen Borong with slightly squinted eyes, and his heart was like a mirror, and it was easy to guess the other party's thoughts.

And listening to his salty words, Shen Borong also replied as a matter of course: "Naturally, I will wait for Ruan Daoyou to recover from his injuries, and then find a way to slaughter the earth armor dragon, or find a way to make it no longer interfere with our entry into the cave." ”

After Zhou Mingde heard this, he asked in a sharp tone: "But the injuries on Ruan Daoyou's body, I'm afraid it won't be able to heal in three or five days, if it's been a long time, who dares to say that this cave mansion won't be discovered by others?" ”

After speaking, he further pointed out: "Now that the insect plague has not been extinguished, many monks have gone deep into the Yang country to find something that can restrain the demon insects, and this place is located near the initial outbreak of the insect plague, so it must be their first choice to explore!" ”

The two of them had a dispute with each other about this question and answer, which was already a serious contradiction on the route.

And Ruan Hongxiang listened to the words of the two, but she didn't say a word.

Now seriously injured, she knows that her speech is not as powerful as it used to be.

At the same time, she also knew in her heart that even if she didn't speak, Shen Borong would definitely fight for herself.

If she were missing, Shen Borong alone would not be the opponent of Zhou Mingde's master and servant at all.

Based on this, Shen Borong will definitely not give up on her.

But she still underestimated Zhou Mingde's determination.

At the end of the dispute, Zhou Mingde also directly put down the cruel words.

"Shen Daoyou doesn't need to say much, in short, the cave is right in front of you, Zhou can't wait for ten days and a half months to explore again, if Shen Daoyou don't want to go along, then Zhou has to explore alone!"

Being in a foreign country, Zhou Mingde knows very well in his heart that nothing can be delayed for a long time.

If it drags on for a long time, he has no way to seek help, and he has no ability to resist in the face of unexpected situations.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to agree to Shen Borong's suggestion to suspend exploration.

Who knows if after Shen Borong returns, he will immediately call other relatives and friends to come over to explore the cave.

In the face of Zhou Mingde's cruel words, Shen Borong and Ruan Hong's faces were extremely ugly, and they didn't know how to respond.

Although the two did not believe that Zhou Mingde could enter the cave alone by himself.

But just as Zhou Mingde was worried that they would call someone after they went back, they were also worried that Zhou Mingde was deliberately squeezing them out, so that someone could come over and occupy the cave mansion exclusively.

After being silent with each other like this for a while, seeing that Shen Borong's eyes had begun to waver, Ruan Hongxiang couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and finally spoke up.

"In fact, the concubine's injuries are not as serious as Zhou Daoyou imagined, and before the concubine came to Yangguo this time, she also deliberately asked for a healing pill to spare, now as long as you take the pill, you can recover most of your injuries in three or five days, and it will not delay our exploration of the cave!"

After she said this, Shen Borong's face suddenly showed a look of surprise.

couldn't help but look at her with surprise on his face and said, "Ruan Daoyou is serious? Are you really sure that you will recover within three to five days? ”

"Nature is true."

Ruan Hongxiang nodded slightly, and her tone was very affirmative.

Seeing this, Shen Borong immediately said in a deep voice to Zhou Mingde: "Zhou Daoyou, you also heard, Ruan Daoyou will only need three or five days to recover, you shouldn't even be able to wait for such a little time!" ”

When Zhou Mingde heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Ruan Hongxiang deeply, and then nodded and said, "Okay, then it's limited to five days, and during this period, the three of us and the other three must be in the same room, so as not to break the rules and find others to meddle in this matter!" ”

"No problem."

"The concubine body is okay with it."

Shen Borong and Ruan Hongxiang glanced at each other and agreed one after another.

After saying this, the three of them left the valley with their juniors and went to the nearest monk's base to recuperate.

In the next five days, not only Zhou Mingde and the other three Purple Mansion monks were in the same room, supervising each other.

Even the juniors of Zhou Chun and the other three were in the same room and never went out.

After five days like this, Ruan Hongxiang's injury has really recovered most of it, and her complexion is only a little worse than before she was injured, but her face is a little paler.

This kind of change also made Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun amazed in their hearts, and they were also full of curiosity about the healing pill they took.

But even if Zhou Mingde personally inquired, he didn't get an answer from Ruan Hongjiao, but just replied "no comment".

After touching a nail like this, Zhou Mingde didn't want to ask again.

And in the past five days, when Ruan Hongxiang was concentrating on meditation and healing, Zhou Mingde and Shen Borong were not idle, they were all trying to think about ways to enter the cave.

By the time the group set out for the valley again, the plan had been agreed.

After only seeing the place, the three of them still set up a covering formation in advance to prevent others from discovering the traces of this place.

Then the three of them, together with Zhou Chun and their three juniors, started digging down together.

It turned out that the method that Zhou Mingde and the others discussed was very simple, that is, to dig a deep and large pit and dig directly to the top of the cave.

In this way, if the earth armor dragon wanted to bury them alive like before, it would not be able to do it.

Even after the big pit is dug out, the underground home advantage of the earth armor dragon will be greatly limited.

But it's certainly a big job!

After all, the cave is a hundred zhang deep underground, and it is not easy to dig such a deep pit, even if it is three Purple Mansion Stage monks and three Foundation Building Period monks working together.

But for the treasures that may exist in the cave, no matter how hard and tiring they are, the six of them have to persist in doing it.

I saw that in the empty valley, the six people were divided into three groups and took turns to chop up the soil and stones with magic weapons, and then used spells to shoot the soil out of the pit and throw it a hundred feet away.

When more than half of the mana is consumed, another group will be rotated to play, and then Hui Yuan Dan will be taken to restore mana.

One, two, three......

After digging for four days and four nights, each taking no less than twenty Guiyuan Pills, a large pit with a depth of hundreds of zhang and a diameter of thirty zhang was finally dug out by Zhou Chun and them.

The bottom of the pit is the top of the underground cave, which is also a stone wall glowing with yellow aura.

Looking at the stone wall protected by Huang Mengmeng's aura, Zhou Chun, who saw this scene for the first time, couldn't help but murmur: "This cave is a little strange, how can the top of the cave be such a stone wall?" Even if it's for safety reasons, you shouldn't build the cave like a tomb! ”

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde also nodded thoughtfully and said, "Maybe this is really a tomb!" ”

The words of the two did not shy away from others, so Shen Borong quickly said: "It would be better if it was a tomb, the cave of a Jindan monk, and the tomb of a Jindan monk, obviously the latter is more valuable!" ”

"Shen Daoyou is right, whether it is a cave or a tomb, you will know when you break this stone wall!"

Zhou Mingde nodded, and when he took the lead in sacrificing the magic weapon, he launched an attack on the stone wall at the bottom of the big pit.
