Chapter Twenty-Four: The Vicious Fight by the Stream
After a long time, Lu Baifeng spoke: "Okay, don't think about it, there are too many strange things about this matter." Moreover, all the inferences just now were based on the fact that the miasma zone was artificially created, and now it is only doubt, not certain. Since the sect has sent us here, we have to work hard to complete the task of treasure hunting. If there is a treasure, we will find it and bring it back. If it's a scam, I believe that a few of us also have the ability to protect everyone from getting out. It's just that from now on, everyone must always be vigilant. If there is really a wicked person plotting against him, he is in the dark, and we are in the light, and the situation is slightly unfavorable. ”
Everyone nodded. There are four masters of the Cave Void Realm, and I believe that they will turn the corner when they encounter danger.
Tianxiao patted Tianyao's shoulder and praised: "Good boy, you are thoughtful enough." According to a little clue, it can be deduced so much. In terms of intelligence, my brother can't compare to you. ”
Tianyao was sarcastic: "I'm not like you, I'm really stupid with a head in elm!"
Xiao Liying next to him suddenly remembered that Tianyao walked out from behind the tree just now, so what he said to Tianxiao before, wasn't it all overheard by this kid? Thinking about it, Xiao Liying's face turned red again. Looking at Tianxiao with a blank face, I couldn't help but feel depressed in my heart.
After Tianyao finished sarcastically finishing Tianxiao, he came to Xiao Liying's side again, and smiled "hehe": "I said Senior Sister Xiao, the atmosphere just now is really a pity! If my brother was smarter, I should almost change my name to 'Senior Sister-in-law Xiao' by now." ”
"Senior sister-in-law?" Xiao Liying didn't react at once, but she quickly understood what Tianyao meant, so she pretended to be angry, "Okay, you stinky boy, I didn't hold you accountable for eavesdropping, you dare to make a joke about my senior sister!
Tianyao "haha" and ran away, Xiao Liying chased after him, and Tianxiao stood in place awkwardly, listening to Tianyao's jokes, a fool should understand. Tianyao and Xiao Liying chased each other for a long time. The others didn't know what was going on, and the two of them were bored.
After a night's rest, everyone's spirits were significantly better. Lu Baifeng led everyone to continue to march in the direction of the day before yesterday. Xiao Liying took the initiative to walk side by side with Tianxiao, Tianyao moved out of the way of the way, and followed behind the two of them with Lu Mingyao to watch the excitement.
Tianxiao already understood Xiao Liying's intentions, but he was too thin-skinned and embarrassed to say it. Xiao Liying was beside him, he changed his previous chic, and he was so nervous that he didn't even dare to speak.
Tianyao and Lu Mingyao watched from behind, smiling secretly. Lu Mingyao suddenly asked Tianyao: "Look, your brother has a companion." What about you? Do you have a goal?"
Tianyao was stunned: "I haven't thought about this problem yet......"
"Haven't you thought about it? Then think about it, how about me, senior sister? Lu Mingyao smiled as brightly as a flower.
"Oh, sister, I'm ...... I don't want to find a Taoist companion yet. Tianyao had no choice but to reply.
"Yo yo yo, who are you coaxing? Don't you think that the senior sister is ugly and not worthy of you handsome guy?" Lu Mingyao pretended to be dissatisfied.
"Where do you want to go? Senior sister looks like the moon, where is it ugly? I really don't want to. Tianyao eagerly argued.
Lu Mingyao pouted: "Senior sister teases you, I know that you definitely don't look down on me." With Senior Sister Tang and Senior Sister Zhu here, where can I get my turn?"
Tianyao didn't answer for a while, and the figures of Tang Junhe and Zhu Xiaomin appeared in his mind. Since leaving Taiqing Sect in late May and rushing all the way to Youlong County, it is now almost mid-June. I haven't seen my senior sister and junior sister for so long, as well as Master Yu Ruijiang, Tianyao misses them a lot.
Lu Mingyao saw Tianyao's distracted expression and said with a smile: "What's wrong? I said yes? Tell me, do you like Senior Sister Tang or Senior Sister Zhu?"
Tianyao came back to his senses, lowered his head and whispered: "Senior sister said she laughed." I'm just missing them because I haven't seen them for a long time, the second senior sister takes care of us as meticulously as my mother, and Xiaomin is like a little girl who doesn't grow up, Brother Tianxiao and I have always treated her as a sister. ”
"Tut-tut, you, you are really in the midst of blessings and do not know blessings. The three beauties of the Taiqing Sect, you have two of them in the Bamboo Garden, do you know how many male disciples want to live in the Bamboo Garden?" Lu Mingyao shook his head while making a sad look.
"Heh, I don't care what other people think. Our Bamboo Garden is one big family. ”
"Well, look at the couple up ahead. I see that your family will soon have a mouthful. Haha!"
It turns out that the two people in front of them have a new dynamic.
Xiao Liying waited for a long time and didn't see Tianxiao say anything, thinking that one day everyone would know anyway, so she simply didn't care, and directly reached out and grabbed Tianxiao's arm. Tianxiao was taken aback by her actions, and subconsciously wanted to take off her hand, but Xiao Liying held it very tightly and couldn't break it off. This time, Tianxiao was even more nervous, and he couldn't even walk well, so he had to awkwardly take Xiao Liying, who had a peach blossom face, to continue to move forward.
Lu Baifeng, who was at the front, happened to look back and saw it, he was happy, patted Han Mingfei's shoulder next to him, and glanced at the back. When Han Mingfei saw it, he shook his head with a smile. The disciples who left the sect at night behind him also showed knowing smiles, and the pair of lovers were still quite a good match.
There is no doubt that Yan Luoting is the only one who is unhappy. He was not only unhappy, but his lungs were about to explode. "This slut, who rejected me so ruthlessly at the beginning, now falls in love with a hairy boy...... He Tianxiao, He Tianyao, you took advantage of Junhe and Xiaomin, and now you have snatched Xiao Liying, even Lu Mingyao likes to chat with you but doesn't like to talk to me...... Don't let me get your chance, huh. ”
After traveling for half a day, at noon, Lu Baifeng, who was walking in front, suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "Stop!" After speaking, he closed his eyes and did not move. The crowd was puzzled. After a long time, Lu Baifeng opened his eyes suddenly, and happily pointed to one place: "Go over there!"
Following the direction of his right hand, everyone looked closely, but it seemed that there was nothing unusual, and in any direction in the swamp it was actually the same.
"Senior brother, why is this?" Han Mingfei was puzzled.
"Haha, I felt a trace of aura fluctuation just now, I guess it's still far away, but this direction is correct. Lu Baifeng was very happy.
"Aura fluctuations, that must be the direction of the spirit treasure, without further ado, let's hurry over." Wang Ruobin was very anxious, for fear that others would take the lead.
Lu Baifeng shook his head: "That trace of aura fluctuation is very weak, I estimate that the position of the fluctuation is three days away from us, so we don't have to rush at this time."
Hearing that there would be at least three days to go, everyone's eagerness relaxed again.
Tianyao thought for a while while walking, and then said to Lu Baifeng: "Senior Brother Lu, this matter is still a bit strange. ”
"Oh?"
"Senior Brother Lu is the highest cultivation realm among our group of people, we didn't feel the aura fluctuation just now, with Senior Brother Lu's cultivation in the late stage of the cave void, we can vaguely feel a trace of it, that aura fluctuation is inevitably too small, right? Thinking about the fact that we have been in the swamp for so long, if we add three days of travel, it means that the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure is in the extremely deep part of the swamp. So, how high is the cultivation of a person who felt the aura movement outside the swamp in the first place and spread the news of the spiritual treasure? Mahayana Crossing Tribulation? Is this possible? If you can only feel the aura movement when you enter the swamp, it doesn't seem to make sense, why did the person who first discovered the fluctuation of the aura have to go deep into the uninhabited swamp for several days?"
"Hmm...... You have a point. Could it be my delusion?" Hearing Tianyao's doubts, Lu Baifeng also hesitated. In the later stage of the cave void, the fluctuations can only be felt at such a deep place, and if the fluctuations can be felt at the outer edge of the swamp, then the realm is at least above the Mahayana period. The immortal cultivators of the Mahayana period are all peerless masters, and they are estimated to look down on such spiritual treasures.
"No, with Senior Brother Lu's realm, where can there be any illusions? I think there are only two possibilities for this. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
"First, the fluctuation of the aura is not born of the spirit treasure, but is caused by other reasons, such as the fight between immortal cultivators, which may also cause the fluctuation of the aura. As for the second type, it is the possibility that I am most worried about, I am afraid that the news of the Lingbao movement was deliberately spread by people with ulterior motives. And the fluctuation just now was because he noticed that we were gradually deviating from the direction he wanted us to go, so he deliberately created aura fluctuations. ”
"You mean, the fluctuation I felt just now was deliberately created by him to attract us to go?" Lu Baifeng was skeptical, "This is unlikely, isn't it?
After listening to the words of the two, Han Mingfei, who had been pondering beside him, said: "Senior Brother Lu, there are all kinds of signs that what Tianyao said is very likely, and we still have to take precautions as soon as possible." ”
"Yes. It's always right to be careful. Lu Baifeng nodded in agreement.
After carefully admonishing everyone, Lu Baifeng led everyone to the place where the aura fluctuated just now. Along the way, there were no aura fluctuations, which also proved from another aspect that Tianyao's estimate may be correct, and it is indeed possible that the aura fluctuations were deliberately created by someone. Since everyone is moving in the right direction, there should be no more aura fluctuations.
......
Everyone marched for three days in a row, and on the night of the third day, the group came to a small stream, where Lu Baifeng asked everyone to rest for the night, but he didn't know where he went. After a few moments, he stepped out of the woods beside him.
Tianxiao asked puzzledly, "Senior Brother Lu, where have you been?"
Lu Baifeng replied: "When you were resting, I went to investigate the surroundings. After going around in a circle, the intensity of the aura in all directions was about the same, and there was no fluctuation in the slightest. If there really is a spiritual treasure, it should have already been born, and we must speed up. ”
Everyone nodded. At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out of the forest, startling Lu Baifeng, because he didn't notice that there were people nearby, and as soon as everyone stood up, the figure had already rushed into the crowd, and suddenly stopped by the stream, and slowly turned around.
By the light of the bonfire, everyone saw that she had long gray hair and empty eyes, wasn't this the mysterious woman she met a few days ago?
However, it seems to be a little different from a few days ago. If the woman I met a few days ago looked like a ghost, then now this woman is a ghost. The face was hideous, and the only remaining eye was wide open, constantly scanning everyone. What's even more terrifying is that there are blood stains flowing out of the woman's mouth, dripping down her jaw, and her hands are also bloody, which is creepy.
Seeing that it was her, Lu Baifeng breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the woman had warned them to leave at the time, and if they wanted to harm someone, they would have done it a long time ago.
"It's you again, what do you mean?" Lu Baifeng asked tentatively.
"Truly...... You guys...... Die!" the voice that came out of the mysterious woman's mouth was not at all what it used to be, and now her voice was hoarse like that of an old man. As soon as the words fell, she pounced on Song Xihang on the edge with her teeth and claws.
Song Xihang was a little relieved when he saw that it was this woman, he didn't want the woman to suddenly attack, he didn't even have time to draw his sword, so he had to meet it with his bare hands.
The woman had no weapons, and relied on a pair of hands for all her attacks. Song Xihang spread out his spiritual sense and found that this woman was still in the late stage of the void and had no weapons, so Song Xihang didn't care very much in his heart. But as soon as they fought, he realized that he was wrong. The woman grabbed it seemingly randomly, Song Xihang blocked it with her right arm, and her left hand clenched her fist and was about to hit it, but the woman grabbed Song Xihang's right shoulder with her backhand, her fingertips actually scratched her clothes, and her five fingers were deeply immersed in the flesh. Suddenly, Song Xihang's shoulder was bleeding. The woman screamed strangely, pulled hard, and forcibly tore a piece of meat from Song Xihang's shoulder, held it in her hand, and blood was falling down on it.
Song Xihang screamed in pain, and everyone was surprised when they saw it. In the process of cultivating immortals, forging the body is a very important part. With the strength of his body in the early stage of the cave, he was easily torn off a large piece of flesh by the mysterious woman in front of him.
Song Xihang's right shoulder had a big gap, and from the gap covered with minced meat, the whitish arm bones and jumping meat tendons were faintly visible, and the female disciples gasped and didn't dare to look at it again. Lu Baifeng, Han Mingfei and Wang Ruobin drew out the fairy sword, and the three of them surrounded the woman in the middle.
The woman was calm, staring at the bloody piece of human flesh in her hand as if no one was around, and then slowly stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it.
Everyone was even more stunned. How frenzied it would have to be to do it? The blood that spilled from the woman's mouth, and the slight chewing sound, were disgusting.
"Cannibalism! Such wicked people must not stay!" Lu Baifeng shouted, wielding his Rong'an sword and smashing it at the mysterious woman.
"If you dare to hurt me, you will not be spared!" Song Xihang's right arm could no longer move, and after he took a pill, he used his sword in his left hand to attack the mysterious woman.
The mysterious woman did not dodge, but smiled weirdly: "Hey, hey, hey......", her gloomy voice was chilling.
Seeing that Lu Baifeng's Rong An sword was about to hit the top of the woman's head, she suddenly turned her head and raised her left hand to meet the falling Rong An sword - with a loud "bang", Lu Baifeng's hands were numb, and the powerful move of Rong An's sword was caught by the mysterious woman with just one hand!
The woman's left hand firmly grasped Rong An's sword, and it was unharmed. Everyone could see it clearly, and her palm shone with a blue aura.
At this time, Song Xihang's sword also stabbed in front of the woman, she grabbed the sword body of the fairy sword with her right hand, and pulled it away to the right rear, Song Xihang's left hand made the sword not very smooth, and she dragged it to a stumbling side, and the whole person crashed into the mysterious woman.
The woman let go of the fairy sword, opened her palm, and the blue light flashed in her palm, and then slapped Song Xihang's Tianling Gai fiercely.
"Beware!" Lu Baifeng shouted anxiously, his Rong'an sword was firmly grasped by the woman's left hand, and it was too late to abandon the sword to save it.
said that it was too late, it was fast, Wang Ruobin saw that his junior brother was in danger, and hurriedly reversed his fairy sword and struck out, and the hilt hit Song Xihang's waist and knocked him aside, which thrillingly avoided the woman's palm.
Seeing that the blow failed, the woman smiled again, kicked Lu Baifeng away, threw Rong Anjian into the stream behind her, and then rushed towards Wang Ruobin, who did not have a fairy sword. Seeing this, Wang Ruobin retreated sharply, he had seen how powerful this woman was at catching people just now, and he didn't have a fairy sword in his hand, so he didn't dare to fight her. Han Mingfei on his side hurriedly stabbed the woman with a few swords, but the woman seemed to have eyes on the side of her head, and slapped a few palms at random, blocking all the sword moves.
"What kind of monster is this woman?" the thought came to everyone's hearts. It's a pity that except for Lu Baifeng and the other four people from the Cave Void Realm, no one else dared to step forward to participate in the fight. After seeing the performance of the women before, depending on their realm, they are also dead.
"Everyone stand back, don't get in the way of the senior brothers. Li Qingyang was worried that the frenzied woman would point the finger at them, so he hurriedly led everyone to hide in the distance.
After the mysterious woman blocked Han Mingfei's attack, her speed still did not decrease, and she chased straight towards Wang Ruobin. Wang Ruobin originally wanted to go around in a circle towards his fairy sword, but after thinking about it, Song Xihang was on the edge of the fairy sword, he was not lightly injured, and he was hit by the fairy sword in the waist, and it was estimated that he couldn't stand up for a while, in case the crazy woman turned to attack Song Xihang after bypassing, he would be in danger. But it's not a way to escape. The woman's speed was very fast, Lu Baifeng didn't dare to come up and attack easily without the fairy sword in his hand, and Han Mingfei, who was left behind by the woman just now, also fell farther and farther away and couldn't catch up, and the woman's palm was slowly approaching Wang Ruobin's back heart.
"Senior Brother Wang, use my sword!" Li Qingyang shouted loudly, and at the same time threw the immortal sword in his hand towards Wang Ruobin. After Wang Ruobin received the sword, he immediately turned around and slashed the woman's palm, and then stabbed the woman's heart hard. The two paused, and Han Mingfei behind him also caught up, raising his sword and stabbing at the back of the woman's heart.
The mysterious woman's figure was very light, and with the strength of Wang Ruobin just now, she turned sideways and grabbed Han Mingfei and Wang Ruobin's fairy swords with both hands.
What kind of palm is this, he is not afraid of the fairy sword! Han Mingfei was a little helpless. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lu Baifeng having retrieved the Rong An Sword from the stream. "By the way, there is also Senior Brother Lu here, as long as she entangles the woman so that she can't free her hands, Senior Brother Lu can kill her!" Han Mingfei hurriedly glanced at Wang Ruobin.
Wang Ruobin also caught a glimpse of Lu Baifeng walking out of the stream with the Rong An sword, and immediately understood. Since the mysterious woman was holding the two swords sideways, she didn't notice that Lu Baifeng behind her had already rushed towards her with a sword.
Wang Ruobin was just about to pull back the fairy sword with force, but he heard a crisp sound of "pop", and his hand suddenly lightened, and before he could come back to his senses, a sharp pain came from his abdomen in an instant. He looked down, and his eyes widened in horror.
