Early the next morning, Shi Yirui, Zheng Duobao, Cao Hong, and Chen Yixia had already arrived at the door of the villa.

I haven't seen her for nearly a month, Chen Yixia didn't say anything, and the other three actually made a lot of progress in their own cultivation.

Shi Yirui has entered the soul-mimic period, Cao Hong has also reached the early stage of body shaping, as for Zheng Duobao, he is still in the moon washing period, but he has jumped from the early stage of the moon wash to the peak of the moon wash, looking at his breath, it will probably not take long to condense the yin soul and enter the night travel period.

Seeing Shi Chi's gaze, Shi Yirui smiled and put Zheng Duobao on the shoulder: "Don't worry when you're old, although his realm is not as good as ours, junior brother, if he really fights, he may not be able to take him down in a few soul-mimic periods!" ”

Shi Chi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "What do you say? ”

"You'll know if you get into a fight." Shi Yirui grinned.

Seeing that they finished greeting, Chen Yixia handed over a few documents and said with a smile: "This is some information on this trip, you can take a look at it first on the way, I booked a plane ticket at eleven o'clock, let's go." ”

A few people didn't say much, and after getting on the bus in turn, the driver drove to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.

After leaving, Shi Chiyan flipped through the materials prepared by Chen Yixia, and his eyes unconsciously showed a little surprise.

This time, they were hired by a sect called Xunlongmen in Jincheng, Shanxi, which is one of the branches of the ancient Kanyu lineage, and is good at exploring the leylines of the earth, so as to discover the ruins that have not yet been born.

And this time, their destination was a gold mine in Shanxi, because the gold mine had been dug up a few years ago, so the value was not high, and Xunlongmen bought it without spending much money, and then found the ruins.

The land where the ruins are located belongs to a single force, and according to the agreement, only this power has the right to explore. Although the cultivators of the Dragon Gate have a high level of cultivation, they are only good at Feng Shui and are not good at combat, so they will hire a group of people as guards.

This time, Xunlongmen hired a total of four groups of people, one group was Shanxi Mantis Gate, one group was Shi Chiyan and others, and the remaining two batches were Xuanqing Guan and Pure Yang Guan of Outer Daomen.

Mantis Gate and Xunlongmen have cooperated many times, and they are old friends.

Xuanqingguan and Chunyangguan are located in Datong and Taiyuan respectively, and they belong to the same Shanxi forces as Xunlongmen.

However, it was late for this group of people to rush over from Zhejiang, and they were the only outsiders.

Crooked mouth, Shi Chi Yan continued to flip through the information, this time the mantis gate led the team by the main Qianfeng, a martial artist in the late emperor-level stage, Xuanqingguan and Pure Yangguan led the team respectively, the disciples of the two Taoist temples, Lu Qingming and Fang Xian, both of whom were monks in the fusion period.

Seeing the strength of the other three batches, Shi Chiyan's face was slightly relaxed, if the other party did not hide his strength, then his own side would not be too disadvantaged.

Even if you haven't personally participated in it, if you think about it, you can see that when you explore the ruins, the weak will definitely be oppressed by the strong, and may even become cannon fodder.

More than an hour later, the five people had already arrived at the airport by car, and then went through the security check and boarding non-stop, and a few hours later, they finally came to Jincheng, Shanxi.

The first time I came to the north, Shi Chi Yan felt that the air was dirty as soon as he got off the plane, and he subconsciously pinched his nose.

"Wow!" Shi Yirui stomped his feet and muttered, "The air quality is so bad!" Or we Jiaxing is good! ”

"Your map cannon is a bit heavy, be careful of being hit!" Cao Hong smiled and asked, "Yixia, how long does it take to get from here to the ruins?" ”

"An hour," Chen Yixia glanced at her watch and said with a smile, "I have already booked a car, and I will take the car when I go out." ”

After taking a plane, Cao Hong, Chen Yixia, and Shi Yirui have become good sisters, which also makes Shi Chiyan and Zheng Duobao more and more confused, and they don't understand how the friendship of girls is established.

After leaving the airport by car, he drove all the way to the north, and Shi Chiyan looked out through the car window, almost all of them were lofty mountains, which also made him secretly amazed when he lived in Jiaxing since he was a child.

After more than an hour, the car had already stepped off the road and entered a narrow path, and in a short time, it came to a mine.

After Chen Yixia paid the money, the five of them got out of the car together, walked along the mountain road for a few minutes, and already saw a group of people on the mountainside, most of whom were looking for Longmen and the people they hired.

The five of them walked up to the group of people, and Chen Yixia bowed to an old man and said with a smile: "Elder Guo! ”

"Miss Chen," the old man smiled, his gaze swept over the four of them, and said with a smile, "It's been a long journey, and it's been hard work. ”

"Take the money to work, you should be." Chen Yixia said with a smile.

Shi Chi Yan recalled that this Elder Guo should be Guo Xuejun, the great elder of the Dragon Gate, and the two people next to him, one tall and one short, should be the second elder Liu Xuelei and the third elder Sun Xuexing of the Dragon Gate.

Guo Xuejun looked at them and said with a smile: "You shouldn't know each other, this is the main Qianfeng of the Praying Mantis Gate, and these two young heroes are Xuanqing Guan Lu Qingming and Pure Yang Guan Fang Xian." ”

Qianfeng was a strong man with five big and three thick, and he hugged his fists at Shi Chi Yan and the others with a smile, but Lu Qingming and Fang Xian looked much colder, especially that Fang Xian, after taking a few glances at Shi Chi Yan and Cao Hong, he frowned and said, "Elder Guo, how can there still be people from the ghost path?" ”

Looking for the martial artists from the top to the bottom of the Dragon Gate, it was Fang Xian, who was born in the Daomen, who was the first to discover the identities of Shi Chi Yan and Cao Hong.

Guo Xuejun was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Chen Yixia, who said lightly: "They are my friends, take money to do things, Elder Guo, please rest assured." ”

Guo Xuejun seemed to trust Chen Yixia quite a lot, nodded and understood, Fang Xian seemed to have something to say when he saw this, and Qian Feng had already smiled and said, "Since Elder Guo agreed, I won't say anything." ”

Hearing that there was something in Qianfeng's words, Fang Xian and Lu Qingming both frowned slightly, but since the person in charge of this trip didn't speak, the two of them "mercenaries" naturally didn't talk any more, so they only stood with cold eyes.

Seeing that they were quiet, Guo Xuejun nodded and said: "You should all know about this matter, but for the sake of insurance, the old man will say again, we have preliminarily explored this ruin, and there are a large number of fire rat demons in the outermost periphery, although the individual strength is not strong, but the victory lies in the huge number, so we found everyone to join forces and escort us into the exploration." ”

Seeing that everyone nodded, Guo Xuejun said again: "For the return after the exploration, it is still in accordance with the previous contract, but if there is an unexpected discovery, the consultation will be held on the spot." ”

Seeing that there were no objections from several parties, Guo Xuejun, Liu Xuelei, and Sun Xuexing immediately joined forces to act, and soon opened a passage on a mountain wall, Qianfeng greeted and took the ten disciples of the Mantis Gate to take the lead in entering, Shi Chiyan and others walked behind, and the people of Xunlongmen walked in, and finally Xuanqingguan and Pure Yangguan.

Soon after the group entered the tunnel, they felt that the air around them was gradually getting hotter, and they looked at the left and right cave walls and found that the soil was faintly red, most of which was because the soil spiritual energy was too strong, and it had seeped into the soil over the years.

He was thinking about it, and everyone in the Mantis Gate in front of him had stopped in unison, and Qianfeng shouted in a low voice: "There is movement, be careful!" ”

Shi Chiyan and Cao Hong each took out their long swords, Shi Yirui grabbed a spirit stone in his hand, and Chen Yixia pulled out a short knife with a lingering cold air, but Zheng Duobao followed the four of them with a grin, showing no guard.

Everyone advanced for dozens of meters, and suddenly there were bursts of small gnawing sounds around them, Shi Chi Di's heart sank, his mind expanded, and he exclaimed: "Be careful! They're already lurking in the walls of the caves! ”

Before the words fell, the surrounding cave walls suddenly burst open one after another, and crimson shadows burst out of them, rushing towards everyone like an overwhelming man.

Shi Chi Yan waved his hand, and the Liuhe Mirror swayed out a vast spiritual light, turning into a Liuhe array to protect his own people, and Fang Xian, Lu Qingming and others behind the palace also cast spells together, blessing them and the people of the Dragon Gate with talisman spells.

The Liuhe array had just unfolded, and the dense crimson shadow had already swooped up, and Shi Chi Yan could see clearly, it was countless red rat demons, one by one the size of a palm, and the red eyes were full of ferocity, and they were not afraid of death to pounce on the Liuhe array.

However, in an instant, Shi Chi Yan had already noticed that the light curtain transformed by the Liuhe Array was dim for a few minutes, although the strength of these rat demons was not strong, but they couldn't hold too many of them, once they were eaten, they were afraid that in another quarter of an hour, the Liuhe Array would completely collapse.

His heart tightened, Shi Chi Yan immediately raised his sword to counterattack, he estimated that these rat demons had a certain immunity to the fire system, so as soon as he made a move, he used the Han Li sword technique, and in an instant, the frost and mist were boundless, and the frost-like sword rays shot in all directions, cutting and smashing the hordes of rat demons.

However, the number of these rat demons is too large, and their temperament is even more fearless of death, and they keep squeezing up like crazy demons, and every time they kill a large number of rat demons, they are empty, and they are immediately filled with more rat demons.

With him as the main attacker, Cao Hong made an empty move, and stood beside Shi Yirui and Zheng Duobao with Chen Yixia respectively, responsible for protecting the two of them.

The fierce battle between them here, the front row of the Mantis Gate is even more tragic, led by Qianfeng, a group of Mantis Gate disciples with double swords, completely fearless of life and death to attack forward, with their momentum, the speed of advancement has not slowed down at all compared with before.

It seems that Xun Longmen has already entered the exploration before, Guo Xuejun pinched his fingers and shouted: "Keep the speed, continue for three minutes, and you will be able to reach the place." ”

Shi Chi Yan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask much, the more urgent the sword light in his hand became, and a large area of frost-like sword light swayed out, killing countless rat demons.

After continuing to advance for more than a minute, everyone in the Mantis Gate had been injured one by one, Shi Chi Yan couldn't bear to see it, and the sword light turned around, and it actually gave birth to endless starlight, which rolled forward like a galaxy, sweeping away the rat tide on the left side of the Mantis Gate.

Qianfeng looked back and laughed, "Thank you, brother!" ”

"You're welcome!" Shi Chi Yan continued to sweep with a sword in his right hand, and pinched the seal in his left hand to continue to maintain the Liuhe Array.

After advancing like this for a full three minutes, the rat tide around everyone was so dense that there was no gap, even if it was a sword sweep, it would be refilled by the rat tide in the next second.

The people of the Mantis Gate had also been forced to retreat in front of Shi Chi and the others, relying on the Liuhe Array to block the rat tide on the left and right.

Suddenly, Guo Xuejun shouted: "It's just ahead!" There's a gate, open the door and go in! ”

"I'm coming!" Qianfeng's tiger eyes widened angrily, and the two short knives were like the two arms of a praying mantis, and he slashed forward dozens of times in an instant, and thousands of sword lights rolled like a tide, knocking out a gap in the dense rat tide.

Shi Chi Yan looked at it, but his face was awe-inspiring, it turned out that there was indeed a gate after the rat tide as Guo Xuejun said, but the problem was that the gate had four huge rat demons the size of a tiger, with greasy and shiny hair, and a pair of red eyes that revealed a terrifying fierce light.
