Volume 1 Taoist Temple in the Mountains Chapter 40 The Four Spirit Veins Draw Lots

The morning dew in the mountains is quite cool.

Ji Ning and his party were sandwiched in the center of the team, marching neither fast nor slow, and there were no changes during the period.

It was noon, after climbing the last hill.

"It's here!"

Suddenly, Xue Zhongjing spoke with a solemn look in his eyes.

Following his line of sight, he saw a long mountain range shaped like a dragon's spine and lying across the valley, which suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Ji Ning squinted his eyes, and after carefully comparing the place of inheritance of the Futian Sect on the map in his memory for a moment, his gaze quickly shifted to a barren low-lying place among the woods on the right, where there was a deep ruin, which looked quite large.

"There is more than one entrance to the dungeon, this is the exclusive passage of our Imperial Dragon Adventure Group."

Huang Quan said with a smile pointing to the ruins, and at the same time did not forget to glance at Xue Zhongjing mockingly.

This place was discovered by Xue Zhongjing first, but the mining speed was too slow, and they finally robbed it.

Without too much communication, the group of people under the supervision of Huang Quan, soon walked into the ruins, and after walking a few steps deeper, a stone gate more than ten zhang high appeared in front of everyone.

In the stone gate, the deep darkness flickered with firelight, and a thrilling shouting of killing could be faintly heard inside, and there was bloody and demonic qi everywhere, and bright red blood even flowed out along the passage.

"Hey, what a terrible coercion, what the hell is in here!"

At the entrance of the ruins, Jiang Hailiu shivered coldly, and said with a somewhat frightened expression.

Originally, he was still very excited, and he was full of fighting spirit along the way, wanting to compete for opportunities, but it wasn't until he arrived that he realized that this might not be a good place to compete for opportunities, and he could die at any time!

"This huge dungeon is roughly divided into four areas, sometimes interconnected, sometimes isolated by untouchable forbidden formations."

"These four areas, each with its own fate, are composed of four spiritual veins, the fire spiritual vein area is hot and hot, it is the most dangerous area, if you are not careful, you will fall into the fire pool, and there are not too many treasures found at present, it is the most dangerous one."

"In the Ice Vein area, the ground below is buried with an extremely cold vein, although it is not as dangerous as the Fire Spirit Vein, but it is difficult for those who fight on that battlefield to continue fighting, because the cold there is extremely heavy, once it is out of the protection of the aura, even the heart will be frozen."

"The third area is the Desolate Spirit Vein, lifeless, shrouded in mist, it looks quite mysterious, but in fact, I haven't encountered any danger these days, and there are a lot of treasures hidden there."

"The last area is just a simple aura vein, that is, the main battlefield in this dungeon, there is no special place here, it is in the center of the ice vein, the fire vein, and the desolate spirit vein, with the most opportunities and the largest space, but the competition is also the most fierce."

As soon as these words were finished, everyone in the audience had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Xue Zhongjing frowned even more, since the other three areas were dangerous, and they couldn't get any oil and water, why don't they just let all of them go directly to the main battlefield, what nonsense are you talking about here?

There are quirks.

Sure enough, after Huang Quan finished speaking slowly, he rubbed his hands again, and said with a wicked smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, because the main battlefield is now overcrowded, and the melee is not beneficial to everyone, so now all parties have reached the conditions, and only when ten people are sent to the ice vein, fire vein, and desolate vein, can ten people enter the main vein."

"If you don't follow this rule, you will be attacked by a crowd."

"I've checked carefully, and the number of your teams just meets this condition, so you form a group of four teams, and the four teams in a group must be evenly divided into the four spirit veins."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and everyone looked at each other.

According to Huang Quan, most of them had no chance to get to the main battlefield with the most chances, and they had to be assigned to the other three dangerous areas.

The desolate vein is actually okay, at most, there are fewer opportunities, there are no treasures, and there is no danger, so it can be said that it is scarce.

But the ice veins and fire veins are much more dangerous, especially the fire veins.

Who was assigned there and was not allowed to jump on the spot in protest?

"I'm afraid that when we can't wait to go down, there will be infighting here."

Qi Lan's face was pale, and his breath was weak, and the rest of the people were also solemn and nodded in agreement.

Walking the rivers and lakes, everyone is for the sake of profit, and no one will put themselves in danger for the benefit of others, not to mention that they don't know each other in the first place, and some of them are even enemies.

The enemy team has entered the spirit vein, the strange team has entered the barren vein, but you have been assigned to the most dangerous fire spirit vein, who can accept this?

Seeing that everyone in the audience was silent, and the atmosphere was depressing and terrifying, Huang Quan above had a calm face and clapped his hands.

Smack!

With a soft sound, around the ruins, there were actually a large number of monks in the vultures, more than 100 of them, wearing black and gold uniform clothes, and the yellow dragon with three claws embroidered on it, who was the person of the Imperial Dragon Adventure Group.

The leader is a man with a scarred face.

"Two masters!"

When Huang Quan saw the comer, the fat on his face was all stacked together, and the one who laughed was called a flattery, trotted all the way to him, looked around left and right, nodded and smiled:

"It's worthy of you, in such a short period of time, you can gather so many brothers from outside Xiushan, I really admire."

"Thanks to the love of my brothers, you can trust me."

The second master, Zhou Mu, smiled faintly, and looked down on everyone in the field, and the powerful aura on his body was released, and he overwhelmed the audience in an instant.

"Yudan Period!"

Xue Zhongjing and the others breathed sluggishly, and their hearts sank suddenly.

The second leader of this Imperial Dragon Adventure Group is actually a major overhaul in the Yudan period, and among the hundreds of people on it, there are not a few powerhouses in the second stage.

"This is to force us to comply!"

The captain of someone's team had an ugly face, looked left and right, and wanted to find a weak position to escape first, but he was discovered by Zhou Mu above, his eyes instantly clouded, he snorted coldly, and slapped a palm in the air with one hand, and the aura hooked the heavens and the earth, and instantly suppressed all the people in that small area.

Boom!

"Barren Mudra!"

A huge void palm print, with Zhou Mu's cold snort, fell from mid-air, extremely fast and terrifying.

The few people who were about to move couldn't react, and they were directly slapped into the ground by that terrifying handprint, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

"It's so strong!"

When everyone saw this, their hearts trembled.

Those few people, no matter how weak their strength was, there was also a second-stage monk, and under Zhou Mu's hands, they didn't even survive a single move, and they were killed in seconds before they even came to their senses.

"Everyone here has already received my spirit stones, in order to envelop you, I have taken out all my family resources."

"Since you have come here, then don't play any tricks, and finally advise you, honestly follow the arrangement, the Imperial Dragon Adventure Group will not treat anyone badly, but if someone wants to go back on their word...... Those three people are the end! ”

Zhou Mu said sharply, his voice like thunder.

Jiang Hailiu was very close to the three people who died, seeing that the few people who were talking and laughing just now were actually dead at this moment, they were instantly frightened and bloodless, and they regretted that they had taken the spirit stone that day, and the rest of them were also staring at him with a look of horror and complaint, their eyes were gloomy, and they couldn't wait to rush up and give him a big mouth.

"If I knew it was so dangerous here, I wouldn't have robbed the spirit stone!"

"I knew that Huangquan must not have any good intentions, said wait a minute, you go to grab it, now it's okay, let it be fate!"

"It's all because of the river and the current, he was the first to run out!"

The crowd complained one after another, but none of them were loud, because they were all afraid of annoying the second leader above who was proud of the audience.

"Okay, since no one has raised a different opinion, let's start drawing lots now."

"The captains of each team are lined up in groups of four, and each group is drawn in order of size, so that priority can be chosen."

In the ruins, Xue Zhongjing and the other team leaders sighed helplessly when they heard this, and automatically lined up in a long line and went to the side of Huangquan.

"No ——!"

The man who was the first to draw lots saw the numbers in his hand, and his face was bloodless with fright.

Beside him, some of his subordinates quickly stepped forward to check on the lot, and then they also let out a bitter wail.

There is no doubt that the number they drew was four.

This means that they will be the last in their group to choose which area to go to.

"As long as the people in front of us are not stupid, we should be fire spirit veins!"

The captain of that team said bitterly at the corner of his mouth, but he still forcibly cheered up, briefly comforted the team, and waited for the other three to choose.

"I choose the main spiritual vein!"

A man with a rat head and a grimace excitedly raised the No. 1 sign in his hand and shouted loudly.

"I choose the Desolate Spirit Vein."

Immediately followed by a man with thin cheeks and a slender body like a willow branch, the crowd behind him couldn't help but let out a complicated sigh when he shouted out the desolate spirit vein.

Among these four areas, the Desolate Spirit Vein region should be the safest place, even safer than the main spirit vein, because there is neither other chance nor demon beast danger here, so there will naturally be fewer fights.

Which is like the main vein, it must be a bloody storm, all parties have to fight for a newly discovered opportunity, the degree of cruelty, from the previous wounded and the bloody gas in the air, you can guess a rough idea!

"Let's choose the Ice Spirit Vein."

The third man was covered with a black scarf, but even so, anyone could tell that his face was not very good at this time.

The Ice Spirit Vein, although not the worst, is also very dangerous, there are many people in his team who have not recovered from their injuries, and this time he failed to draw the top two areas, whether he can come back alive from this trip, it's hard to say!

"Then you are the fire spirit vein."

In the end, before the unlucky man who drew the No. 4 lottery could speak, the second master, Zhou Mu, opened his mouth lightly.

"Yes."

The man laughed more ugly than cried, and slowly retreated into the crowd.

For a while, the adventure group he was in was all dead, and despair spread in it.

There was no time to mourn for him, and the draw for the next round began directly.

Round after round, the results came out quickly, some people were happy and some were worried.

Looking at the crowd of people around them who were either sad or excited, everyone in Xue Zhongjing's adventure group also began to get nervous.

Now, among all the people present, only Xue Zhongjing and the other three people were left without drawing lots.

It is worth mentioning that among them, there is Ji Changkui, who chased and killed Ji Ning and Qi Lan before.

At this moment, the hook-nosed man is also a little apprehensive on his gloomy face, this may be the fateful moment.

"Let's get started!"

Huang Quan looked at Xue Zhongjing and said with a slightly grim expression.

Xue Zhongjing, Ji Changkui and other four people gathered in front of the lottery box.

All around them, the people of their respective adventure groups gathered here, holding their breath tightly, looking at this side with nervous and expectant eyes.

Under the heavy pressure, the foreheads of the four people couldn't help but sweat.

"Don't ink, smoke!"

Seeing that the four of them were slow to start, Zhou Mu, the second master standing above, also urged impatiently.

"Smoke it!"

Among them, a tiger-like man roared, pulled a skeg out of the wooden box, and then slammed it to the ground, and then spun and bounced into the air.

"One!"

"Hahahahahaha, I'm the No. 1 sign, I choose the main spiritual vein!"

The moment he saw the numbers on it, the man's mouth let out a laugh like a bell, threw down the stick, turned around and threw himself into the crowd of brothers to celebrate, and some people cried with joy.

Although the main battlefield was a heavy battle, after seeing the horror of this second master, they were not too worried, they believed that with the overall strength of the Imperial Dragon Adventure Group, they would definitely not let them be bullied by other forces in the dungeon.

And you and others, you only need to be careful and safe, you can get a lot of oil and water, which is really lucky!

Seeing this scene, Xue Zhongjing's heart was itching, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand.

And at this moment, Huang Quan, who was silent all the time, suddenly squinted and spoke, looking at him with a smile in his voice and saying:

"Brother Xue should be cautious, not everyone has that kind of good luck."

"I guess the number in your hand is four, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Xue Zhongjing's movements suddenly stopped, and the other two looked at each other, but they didn't dare to act rashly, and the courage they had finally mustered up was wiped out, and now that the No. 1 sign was gone, that person chose the main spiritual vein.

In other words, among the remaining three areas, only the Desolate Spirit Vein area is safe, and if the remaining two lotteries are drawn, they may be no different from sending them to death.

"It's not fair to be distracting."

In the crowd, someone saw this scene and muttered quietly.

Even the eyes of Zhou Mu, the second master above, narrowed slightly.

To suppress so many people, force alone is only temporary, and more importantly, fairness, and this is the role of the lottery.

If he personally named out some people and entered the fire spirit vein and ice spirit vein, then presumably no matter how strong his strength was, these people would not be convinced, and the war was about to break out.

But Huang Quan, after just saying an ambiguous word, didn't say anything more, and he didn't speak.

"That's what I'm going to do."

Surprisingly, after being silent for a moment, Xue Zhongjing stared at Huang Quan's eyes, and still pulled out the lottery in his hand.

And when he spread out his palm, everyone saw that the number inside was.

"Two!"

"Good ——!"

In Xue Zhongjing's adventure group, an excited cry sounded in an instant, Jiang Hailiu's face turned red, and he waved his fist excitedly, and the rest of the people did the same.

Only Ji Ning frowned.
