Chapter 169: Voyeurism
Yuan Ming turned around and returned to the cave, closed his eyes, and sensed the situation of the two soul crows in the distance, with a look of surprise on his face.
In the ancient castle where Bai Rong was, there were three more men and one woman at this moment.
Yuan Ming vaguely remembered that these four people were all members of this mission, but they chose to leave the team when they were at the entrance of the Ghost Cry Gorge, and they didn't expect to appear again.
It seems that these four people are in a group with Bai Rong, and they have other plans to participate in the mission of the White Night Dispersal Alliance, and the mark left by this woman before may be to guide these people.
"Sang Yan, are you sure this is it?" One of the four asked, a gray-robed man.
"Elder Qi Gu Tu, the disciple traveled twenty miles west from the Snake King Cave according to the description on that fragment, and found this place after some searching." Bai Rong said respectfully.
……
"Sang Yan! This Bai Rong is Sang Yan! Yuan Ming heard the conversation between the two, and his body shook slightly.
The Lord of the Three Caves once told him that Sang Yan was a person, and the condition for helping him refine the herring sword was to take the spiritual material Baiyan Essence Gold from Sang Yan in Bailu Hill later, and he didn't expect to meet it here by chance.
"The Lord of the Three Caves said that Sang Yan is a disciple of the Black Fire Gate, so this gray-robed man is also a person from the Black Fire Gate? Sang Yan called his elder, it was a monk in the foundation building period who hid his cultivation! Yuan Ming became vigilant.
……
Inside the Kasbah.
"That can't be wrong. However, this black ban seems to be a Yin Lock Array, which can automatically absorb Yin Qi and maintain the operation of the magic circle for a long time, this ancient castle has a strong Yin Qi and an endless stream, and it may not be easy to break this ban. Elder Gutu said with a deep groan.
"What then? Are we just going to run for nothing? In order to resist the miasma of this Snake King Valley, we spent a lot of spirit stones. A black-clothed girl next to Elder Gutu said angrily.
"Senior Sister Nala, don't worry, Elder Gutu has studied the forbidden formation intensively, and he can be ranked among the top five in this sect, just a small array, he will definitely be able to come up with a way to crack it." Sang Yan said with a smile.
"Less set almost, who is your junior sister!" The girl in black frowned slightly and said softly.
Sang Yan smiled and said nothing, as if he didn't take the rudeness of the girl in black to heart.
Behind Sang Yan stood a rugged man with a black knife on his back, who looked like his guard, his eyes flashed with anger, and he took a step forward.
Next to the girl in black stood a young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, who also took two steps forward and protected the girl in black behind him.
"The big thing hasn't been done yet, whatever you're messing about, quit for me!" Elder Gutu shouted.
Sang Yan waved his hand, the rugged man retreated, and the sword-eyed young man next to the black-clothed girl also retreated.
"Elder Gutu, although the Yin Locking Prohibition is troublesome, with your attainments in the Circle Prohibition, you should have already thought of a way to break the ban, right?" Sang Yan asked.
"If it is the Yin Lock Great Array that has been laid in recent years, I may not be able to break it, but it seems that the prohibition here has existed for many years, although it is still in operation, but the array equipment has begun to corrupt, and there are already many signs of instability, and it is not impossible to break it, so you can listen to my orders......" Elder Gutu thought for a moment in his heart and said.
Sang Yan and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly listened attentively, and then according to Elder Gutu's instructions, they each stood in a few places outside the main hall, holding the white jade talisman given by Elder Gutu, and cast a spell to urge.
Arrow-shaped white light shot out from the jade rune, containing a few runes inside, hitting the black prohibition.
The black prohibition failed to swallow the white light this time, and the trembling of the blow was endless, and it was obvious that the trace of black qi was constantly overflowing.
"It seems that this Bone Diagram Elder's attainments in the formation are not low, I don't know who is more powerful compared to the masked woman waving in Black Rock City?" Yuan Ming said secretly when he saw this.
There will be no results here for a moment, and he turned his mind to look at the situation inside the Snake King's Cave through the vision of another soul crow.
At this time, after some fighting, Bai Ye and the others had already entered the depths of the Snake King Cave.
Due to the presence of the two foundation-building period monks of White Night and Phantom Time, and the fact that everyone was working together steadily, there was no loss of personnel.
Instead of shrinking, the space here has become much larger, and the surrounding miasma has become more and more intense, and although the people of the White Night Scattered Alliance and those scattered cultivators have obstacle avoidance beads to protect their bodies, they are gradually showing fatigue.
Yuan Ming's soul crow is not a physical living creature, it is not affected by miasma, and it is easy to follow behind.
At this point, the goldenrod poison python that came from around had begun to decrease, and the resistance to the group was greatly reduced.
Far from being relaxed, White Night and Phantom Time became more and more solemn.
"It should be very close to the Snake King's lair, don't be careless, cheer up!" Phantom Shi shouted.
Before his voice fell, a hissing suddenly came from the cave in front of him, low and hoarse, but there was a momentum that pierced the soul.
The bodies of those Qi Refining Stage cultivators were shocked, and their faces turned a little pale.
The body of the soul crow hiding behind was covered with scattered black light, trembling.
"This roar carries a sonic attack, and it can actually hurt the soul!" Yuan Ming hurriedly controlled the soul crow to retreat.
While thinking about it, a golden shadow flashed in the miasma ahead, and a golden snake tail as thick as a bucket shot out, heading straight for everyone, and the hurricane almost blew people away.
The phantom figure quickly swept out, blocking in front of everyone, and an extra bronze shield appeared in his hand, and the blue light collided with the golden snake tail.
With a loud bang, even the human shield was shocked back a few steps, and the golden snake tail was also blocked.
"It's the Golden Flower Snake King! Array! Phantom Shi didn't wait for his body to stabilize, and said urgently.
Ten members of the White Night Scattered Alliance hurriedly formed a circle, and the white flag in their hands was inserted into the ground, nearly half of which sank into the ground.
With a wave of his sleeves, pieces of arrays shot out and landed all over the ring.
Rumble!
Ten flags rose with dazzling white light, connecting with each other to form a circular white circle, enveloping the ten people in it.
Seeing the majesty of the Snake King, the five recruited cultivators were terrified, and subconsciously retreated.
"There is only one way to retreat, hide in the magic circle! The Golden Flower Snake King is a second-level fierce beast, and if you don't rely on the magic circle, you can't compete at all! Bai Ye shouted.
The white circle that had been closed "banged", cracking a passage to enter.
The five scattered cultivators and six gods had no master, and when they heard this, they hurriedly rushed to the gap in the magic circle.
The rich miasma in front of him moved, and a giant python that was four or five zhang long and covered with golden scales shot out from the poisonous miasma, and the big python's head spewed out a piece of dark green venom and hit the five loose cultivators.
Bai Ye flipped his hand and took out a purple token, and used mana to inject into it.
The token suddenly rose with a large area of purple light, and a large area of purple flames also appeared in the white circle, burning brightly.
Bai Ye snorted softly, and a purple fire snake with a length of feet shot out of the array and hit the dark green venom.
The purple fire snake "snorted" and disappeared, and the dark green venom was also knocked away, sputtering in all directions.
The sound of "snort" sounded, and the ground and stone walls corroded large and small potholes.
A cloud of scattered venom happened to hit the head of a fleeing cultivator.
The man's head instantly melted into a puddle of sticky mud, and it fell without even letting out a single scream.
Yuan Ming witnessed this scene, and was secretly frightened, glad that he was not greedy to follow him in and take risks.
The poison of this Golden Flower Snake King was so terrifying, it was much better than the poison of the black toad, and the Qi refining period cultivator couldn't resist it at all.
The remaining four scattered cultivators were in a hurry, and their strength to eat milk was also exerted, and the wind swept into the white magic circle, and the gap in the magic circle was immediately closed.
"Hurry!" Bai Ye's eyes relaxed, and he urged the token in his hand.
As soon as the purple fire in the circle flourished, a large ball of purple flame shot out, making a crackling and burning sound, hitting the golden python's head.
The golden python seemed to be quite afraid of the purple flames, and shrank its head to dodge, allowing it to pass the blow.
The Phantom Time next to him also had an extra purple token in his hand, and shook it at the purple flame.
The purple fire volley spread out in the air, turning into a purple fire net several feet large, covering the huge python's head.
The sound of "snort" burning sounded, and the golden python's head was burned with scorched black blood marks, let out a painful scream, and opened its mouth to spew out a stream of green venom.
The venom was extremely corrosive, and the purple fire net could not withstand it, so it was corroded into a large hole and collapsed and disintegrated.
The golden python shook its head, opened its bloody mouth, and let out a dragon-like roar at Bai Ye and the others again.
This time the roar was much stronger than before, and the air in front of Shekou was rippling.
Yuan Ming was startled, he didn't care about continuing to watch, and immediately controlled the soul crow to turn around and fly out.
However, before he could escape far, the soul crow was shocked by the aftermath of the roaring sound wave, his body trembled violently, and a large area of black qi overflowed from his body, and his body almost became translucent, but fortunately, it did not collapse directly after all.
Yuan Ming only felt that his head was a little dazed, and the vision transmitted back by the soul crow quickly became blurred.
He didn't think much about it, and while the next wave of sound waves had not yet appeared, he hurriedly manipulated the soul crow to evacuate the Snake King Cave and regain access to the sea of knowledge.
At the same time, another soul crow flew out of its forehead and returned to the Snake King's Cave.
He still wants to grasp the battle situation in the Snake King Cave in time, even if it costs some damage to his soul.
After doing all this, Yuan Ming suddenly thought of something and summoned the soul crow guarding outside the cave in.
He manipulated the soul crow, possessed it on the black toad, and took out the earth charm and storage ring and handed them to the black toad, and then urged the earth tour charm.
A layer of yellow light appeared on the black toad's body, and it burrowed into the ground with a "poof" sound, and fled towards the Snake King Cave.
……
The soul crow flew to the depths of the Snake King's Cave again, cautiously reaching the place where it had been lurking before, and looking ahead.
At some point, a green mist appeared in the air ahead, mixing with the miasma of the place, narrowing the field of vision, and everything around it looked a little hazy.
The green poisonous mist had a sour smell, obviously poisonous, and the ground and stone walls were corroded by pits, and the corpse of the previous fallen cultivator was completely melted, leaving only a puddle of slime.
I saw that in the green poisonous mist, the magic circle laid by the White Night Scattered Alliance had collapsed, and all ten white flags had been destroyed, and fragments were scattered all over the ground.
The ten members of the White Night Scattered Alliance who were hiding in the magic circle, as well as the four scattered cultivators, had all fallen to the ground and died at this moment, their bodies melting nearly half, and their skin turned a strange dark green.
Of the group that came in, only Bai Ye and Phantom Time were still alive, and they were controlling magic weapons to fight with the Snake King.
It's just that the cheeks of the two of them are pale green, and they are obviously also poisoned by snakes, and their movements are much slower than before.
"Since the White Night Scattered Alliance has gone to great lengths to come here to slaughter the Snake King, it must be fully prepared, how could it be so miserably!" Yuan Ming was a little incredulous, between the collection and release of his soul crow, it only took half a pillar of incense at most, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
But then, his gaze suddenly froze.
He suddenly found that there seemed to be something wrong with the snake king who fought with the two of them, and it didn't seem to be the same before.
