Chapter 163: The Bat Cave
In the House of Elders, Ling Xiao knew that some of the senior masters of the Sword Sect, after their cultivation reached a certain level, they would unload some of their responsibilities and concentrate on improving their cultivation, almost all of them were top masters, and they would usually maintain the number of thirty-six.
And these thirty-six people are also the core strength of the Sword Sect, there are as many as twenty-eight people above the Holy Realm, and most of the remaining eight places are masters who are about to break through the Holy Realm, these people usually have only one task, that is, to constantly break through, break through, and break through again, only when the Sword Sect is facing the critical moment of extermination, they will make a move, and often these terrifying masters will lay the final victory of the Sword Sect as soon as they make a move, so these are called the cornerstones of the Sword Sect.
The most important thing is that these people are quite senior in the Sword Sect, and even a few of them are still the members of the sect master Liu Yuping's senior uncle and ancestors.
And their descendants, because their merits have been recognized as the inner disciples of the Sword Sect since birth, every qiฤ cultivation resources will be tilted towards them, unless they are in particularly poor health, or they have no cultivation heart at all, otherwise, they will often break through the dignity realm that ordinary people need to look up to when they are about twenty years old, become the masters of the younger generation, and finally embark on the path of elders of their ancestors again.
Therefore, Ling Xiao, who has always respected the strong, does not mean to underestimate it, but any man will be quite concerned about the women around him, looking at himself standing aside, he didn't even say hello, and he actually started talking to his own woman.
To be honest, if it weren't for Peaches just now saying that there should be no conflict, Ling Xiao would have the idea of making a move immediately.
As the daughter of the sect master, Peach, who has a very clear relationship with the Sword Sect, doesn't want to misunderstand Ling Xiao because of some other man, "It turns out to be Senior Brother Zhang Yun, you have bothered a lot, with Ling Xiao with me, you don't have to worry." It's okay. โ
As soon as these words came out, they explained two meanings, one was that Peach was introducing the origin of the person opposite to Ling Xiao, and the other was to clearly tell Sรน this Zhang Yun that now Peach is a famous flower, and the words obviously reveal the meaning of rejection.
It's a pity that this Zhang Yun may be arrogant, or maybe he didn't hear the meaning of the peach at all, so he didn't have any idea of stopping, "Hui'er." That's what's wrong with you, the Bat Cave is a place of disciple trials, more or less, there are still dangers, and finding someone to guard you may not be able to protect you thoroughly. In this way, you will follow me in a while and keep you safe and sound!"
didn't care about Taozi's opinion at all, and ignored Ling Xiao standing next to him, this Zhang Yun was domineering. The tone of not allowing others to refute made up his mind, as if he decided that Momoko would follow, and turned away. Walk straight towards the mine.
In this case, it is Peaches who is embarrassed, and Zhang Yun can not care, but if Peaches does not keep up at this time. Obviously, it just doesn't give him face, and it also means a crack in the relationship with the House of Elders.
Originally, this kind of thing was just a trivial matter, but now those old men in the Elder's House basically have nothing to do every day except for cultivation. Whose child has been wronged is a big deal, and these old men at the peak of the Sword Sect don't care who the other party is.
But they don't care, but Liu Yuping, the sect leader of the Sword Sect, must care, otherwise, in the already stormy situation, there will be a little estrangement within the Sword Sect, why should they maintain the peace of the continent.
Therefore, Peaches could only look at Ling Xiao aggrievedly, meaning that he had to go, and Ling Xiao, who understood the truth, could only temporarily put down the mustard in his heart, pull Peaches behind the group of people, and enter the mine.
Although Zhang Yun has the upper hand on the surface, it can be seen from the tightly held hands of Ling Xiao and Taozi that they are just following behind them for the sake of his elders, and they have nothing to do with him Zhang Yun himself.
Pretending not to see those two hands, Zhang Yuntie walked in front with a blue face, but what he was thinking about was what Liu Hui had taken a fancy to that stinky boy, or what aspect of himself he didn't like, and why things had become like this.
You know, this Zhang Yun and Liu Hui grew up together in the Sword Sect since childhood, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and the two elders were originally interested in letting them come together, and they have been together for a hundred years, but I don't know when it started, the original gentle sister Liu Hui changed, first estranged, and then disappeared, this time it was not easy to appear, but it brought a country boy.
I heard that he is still the hero of the Battle of Border City, bullshit, where are the opponents worthy of attention among the barbarians of the Fearless Empire, even if they are spear gods, if they come to the Sword Sect to spread wildness, they will be torn to pieces by the seniors of the House of Elders. It's just that he happened to win a group of ordinary soldiers, so he came to the Sword Sect arrogantly with five or six people, no, he will find an opportunity to make him suffer a little loss later!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yun began to mumble to the people around him, and Zhang Zifeng in the crowd originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhang Yun with a hideous face, he changed his mind, didn't say a word, and even secretly took advantage of Zhang Yun's inattention to give Ling Xiao a look.
Actually, there is no need to fight this look, Ling Xiao has traveled south and north in the past two years, what kind of people have not been seen, seeing a group of people in front of him whispering from time to time, secretly looking at himself and Peaches, and thinking with his toes that these people must be holding back some bad ideas.
Of course, Ling Xiao also gave a kind response to Zhang Zifeng's overtures, and nodded lightly to indicate that he already knew. Secretly, he began to mobilize his spiritual power and was ready to shoot at any time.
As the crowd slowly moved forward, the bat cave also showed its true face. A dim kerosene lamp illuminates a small area at intervals of steps in the dark cavern, providing a little comforting light to those who enter the cave, and the occasional sound of a bat's wings flapping.
As he deepened, an empty place similar to the hall appeared in front of him, and Peach's voice began to explain in time, "Brother Xiao, this is the place where the daily monitoring of the bat cave anomaly is located, and anyone who makes a mistake in retreat will settle here, and if the number of bats in and out is huge, some of them will be killed." โ
Sure enough, the figure of Sun Yuesheng, the owner of the North Courtyard who was rumored to have been punished and retreated, appeared in front of everyone, just closing his eyes and not looking at this group of young people who came to explore.
After passing by Sun Yuesheng's side, even the dim kerosene lamp disappeared in the mine, and the only light source was the slightest hint of sky light that came out of the cracks from time to time.
The so-called bat-killing operation. In fact, in addition to bloodthirsty bats, there are also a large number of ordinary bats, but these ordinary bats do not pose a threat to the people of the Sword Sect at all, so there is no need to kill them.
However, as everyone gradually went deeper, a bloodthirsty bat with only demonic blood eyes also began to appear, perhaps in order to perform in front of Peaches, the cloud took turns using different techniques to start killing the bloodthirsty bat. Sometimes he stood still, releasing a small sword-shaped hidden weapon to kill, and sometimes bending his body and bouncing, posing in various graceful shapes in the air to chase and kill bats. Even every time he kills one, he will turn his head to look at Ling Xiao, which means nothing more than to say, see clearly, the strength of this son is not comparable to you, a country boy.
For these peacock performances, Ling Xiao couldn't laugh or cry. You can see it. This cloud is not a straw bag pillow, the body turns, twists and turns, and the sword is like electricity. has reached a certain level, but in Ling Xiao's eyes, the beautiful movements are full of a large number of flashy and invalid behaviors, often for the sake of good looks. And sacrificing the strength and speed of the attack, that is, to deal with these bats, really to deal with the night scouts outside the upper border gate. I'm afraid I won't be able to last three breaths.
Under Zhang Yun's teasing, the speed of the whole formation is very fast, and the team behind is extremely far away, in fact, this behavior is quite dangerous, the bats themselves are not high in attack power, often win by numbers, so maintaining a considerable number of people is the only way to ensure safety in this bat cave.
But under the leadership of Zhang Yun, now he has walked into the depths of the bat cave with a scale of fifteen people, and it is nothing if the number of bats is small, but whenever he encounters a large group of bats, the danger will immediately rise in a straight line.
Maybe this is also Zhang Yun's plan, his own body is extremely tightly guarded, in addition to cultivation, the equipment is also quite luxurious, he doesn't care about the attack strength of bats at all, and if he really wants to encounter a large number of bats, he wants to make Ling Xiao suffer There is hope that his goal will be realized.
Therefore, when everyone was cautious and tried to keep quiet for fear of attracting a large number of bats, how arrogant did that Zhang Yun come, banging endlessly, and even some dazzling attacks simply went directly to the stones in the cave, in order to naturally attract bats to attack!
Sure enough, after a while, more and more bats began to attack this small group of people, and the sharp-eyed Ling Xiao also noticed the fact that among this group of thousands of bats, there are more than 200 bats that are two circles larger than other bats in size, and there is even a super-large bat, constantly dancing behind the bat group, but it is dead or alive to attack, and with its dance, the attack of this group of bats is no longer a mess, but gradually becomes orderly.
Oops, this big bat must be in command!
As the saying goes, if you don't die, you won't die, the current scene is not to show off your cultivation, but to be able to ensure that you are not injured has become a luxury, all the people are blaming Zhang Yun in their hearts, and Zhang Yun himself never imagined that there would be such a scene in front of him, how can there be any demeanor just now, and what remains in his eyes is only the desire for life and the fear of death.
On the other hand, Ling Xiao, in this environment where everyone is in danger, still remains calm, he clearly knows that if he can't maintain absolute calm at this time, and find that little bit of life in the impossible, what awaits him can only be death.
The bloodthirsty bats were not very powerful, but the group in front of them was obviously fully exerting their maximum attack strength in the orderly command, and the bloodthirsty bats were arranged in various forms, continuously attacking various targets. It's often a dip and go, and before you can react, you're already far away, reforming your formation for the next attack.
Everyone is desperately trying to block the attack of the bats, and in the eyes of these, the most incredible thing is Ling Xiao's ability.
A dragon-shaped bow sometimes shoots arrows that are enough to kill an arrow, and sometimes it turns into a short stick melee to kill the attacking bat, and after ten breaths, when everyone else is more or less injured, this Ling Xiao doesn't talk about himself, even the peach who has been guarding behind him has not been hurt at all!
At this time, Ling Xiao's eyes were shining, because he finally found that little bit of vitality in the chaotic environment! (To be continued......
