Chapter 21: The Sudden White Ape
Night was coming quietly, and Chen Mingzhi and the others were still watching near the entrance of the cave of the Hidden Moon Lion King.
Dongguo Xiangyan and Jiang Ningxuan were swaying on the tree, and the two of them couldn't stand still.
However, Chen Mingzhi and Li Yingtong are still in good spirits, although Li Yingtong has to complain about boredom every once in a while, but they still persist here.
Finally, in the darkness, a huge yellow body slowly came out of the hole, the half-crescent lines on its forehead still emitted a faint white light, and the prey of the day was still in its mouth.
"It's out! It's out!" Li Yingtong patted Chen Mingzhi excitedly.
Chen Mingzhi immediately made a boo gesture to make Li Yingtong pay attention to the movement, and then waved his hand and took Li Yingtong and the three of them to follow.
The Hidden Moon Lion King had to make his rounds almost every five steps.
Its eyes glowed, causing the weaker spirit beast to flee in an instant.
Jiang Ningxuan had been squatting on the tree for a long time, and when she walked extremely unsmoothly, she stepped on the ground and made a "click" sound from the fallen branches.
The Hidden Moon Lion King glanced over here with the voice, thanks to Chen Mingzhi who pulled Jiang Ningxuan into the grass in time, so he was not discovered.
The Hidden Moon Lion King was only regarded as a petite spirit beast, and he didn't care.
Chen Mingzhi and the others followed again.
The Hidden Moon Lion King walked for a while, and then he entered a cave at the entrance of the cave that was hidden by vines.
This place is not far from its original lair, but it is extremely hidden, and ordinary spirit beasts can't find it at all.
Chen Mingzhi watched the Hidden Moon Lion King enter the cave and whispered: "Sure enough, I know that the most dangerous place is the safest place." ”
The Hidden Moon Lion King chose this hiding place, and if it weren't for him, no one would have thought of it.
Chen Mingzhi originally thought that it would choose a place far away from his cave to find a place to hide, but he didn't expect it to find one nearby.
The intelligence of this spirit beast really can't be judged by cultivation.
This guy is much stronger than the Tongtian Azure Python and his own chapter dog.
"Let's go, let's go back. Chen Mingzhi said after guarding the entrance of the cave for a while.
"Is it that we won't be using it for a month?" asked Li Yingtong on the way back to the safe base.
Chen Mingzhi shook his head, "This can't be done, if this cave is discovered by the spirit beasts next to it, it will definitely change its nest." There is still a saying in the mortal world that there are three holes of cunning rabbits, and we have to guard against such spirit beasts. ”
Li Yingtong pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but Chen Mingzhi was still teasing her, "You said that when I saw you at the Immortal Yuan Conference back then, I thought you were still a very smart little girl, but now this brain is not even as good as a spirit beast." ”
"It's not like you, the mentally retarded, so that all my intelligence has been passed on to you. Not to be outdone, Li Yingtong went back.
......
Chen Mingzhi and Li Yingtong returned to the safety base all the way to each other, and Dongguo Xiangyan and Jiang Ningxuan, who followed behind them, were slightly embarrassed.
Although the two of them are both inner disciples, they don't have much contact on weekdays, and they don't have much to talk to each other, so they can only look at the lively two people in front of them with a smile on their faces.
As soon as Chen Mingzhi and the others stepped into the safe base, a white aura flashed on the ground.
A figure flew out of the humble hut that had just been set up in the afternoon in the safe base, and its light blue hair reflected the white light of the formation, which was extremely beautiful.
Looking at her hairstyle, Chen Mingzhi knew that this was comforting, and he looked at the four people who came back safely, and then the spiritual power in his hand appeared, and the formation that flashed white light to predict that someone was coming and was about to attack calmed down.
Others also rushed out to greet Chen Mingzhi and them.
"Yes, it took less than a day to set up this area. Chen Mingzhi praised.
Not only have the remnants of the previous formation been restored in this safe stronghold, but a wooden house has also been built, and it seems that they are indeed not idle.
"Thanks to Senior Sister Yang Qing's guidance, otherwise, we might not be able to repair this formation one day. Shu Xin smiled.
Chen Mingzhi looked behind him and found that Yang Qing didn't come out at all, he knew that this hard-working scholar of the Xian'e Sect was either studying inside or cultivating.
When Chen Mingzhi entered the house and found that Yang Qing was really in cultivation, she asked Shu Xin to arrange a soundproof formation for her, and she couldn't hear anything outside.
Chen Mingzhi released his spiritual sense to check Yang Qing's cultivation, and sighed involuntarily in his heart.
Although she practiced hard, her progress was very slow, and it was estimated that she would break through to the second level of qi cultivation in the past six months.
This is a world of difference from his own cultivation speed.
Destiny is determined by heaven, and things are man-made.
Chen Mingzhi admired Yang Qing and thought that he must find a way for her to help her practice in the future.
"Sister Dongdong, how are you investigating?" asked Shu Xin.
Chen Mingzhi smiled, "It's very smooth, I didn't expect to find it for the first time." ”
"In that case, that's great, we just need to keep watching and wait until the next full moon is over!" Shu Xin excitedly.
The Hidden Moon Lion's period of weakness is during a full moon in the middle of the year, which lasts for two months.
Chen Mingzhi and they are waiting for the full moon of the next month.
Regarding how to deal with this Hidden Moon Lion King, Chen Mingzhi was not in a hurry to arrange it, because they still had a month to go, and even if they set the trap early, it was estimated that they would be disrupted by the sudden situation.
Just wait until there are a few days left before the full moon to set up.
Over the course of a month, Chen Mingzhi's exploration team changed members several times.
Chen Mingzhi wanted to make these juniors all familiar with this hidden operation.
Just ten days before the full moon, they saw the Hidden Moon Lion King go to his hiding place and block the entrance to the cave with two large stones.
In the process of exploring, Chen Mingzhi also intended to let them encounter some lower-level spirit beasts, so that all the disciples could hone their combat skills and adaptability to emergencies.
Chen Mingzhi felt that since he accepted the job of the team leader given to him by the master, he had to take responsibility.
And Chen Mingzhi cares about Li Yingtong the most.
The number of spirit beasts encountered by Li Yingtong's team was about twice as large as the others.
Of course, this is care, in this world of cultivating immortals, thinking of ways to improve the strength of the family is the best care.
Because Chen Mingzhi had thought about it before, he wanted to be kind to this little Lori who grew up in the palace and had no friends.
However, Li Yingtong always complained that she was a "non-chief", because every time she went out with the team, she could meet spirit beasts.
This also fully embodies the meaning of "beating is kissing and scolding is love", how can you level up if you don't let you fight a few more monsters?
Time passed quietly, and there were only ten days left until the day of the full moon.
Chen Mingzhi led these junior sisters to start the intensive arrangement.
They set up a trap composed of formations at the entrance of the Hidden Moon Lion King's cave, and this will be the key to whether or not they can kill this Hidden Moon Lion King.
Because it was necessary to be silent and careful in arranging the spirit array outside the cave of the Hidden Moon Lion King, it took Chen Mingzhi and all of them eight days to arrange the trap.
Then Chen Mingzhi also began to arrange the task assignment of the crusade against the Hidden Moon Lion King.
Chen Mingzhi still likes to be grouped, and this time he divided all his disciples into three groups.
The first group is the breakthrough group, which is composed of Li Yingtong, Shu Xin, Dongguo Xiangyan, and Jin Can.
The three of them were responsible for breaking through the two boulders at the entrance of the Hidden Moon Lion King's cave on the day of the operation.
Because the three of them are the most destructive among the nine junior sisters, they should be able to complete the task in a short time.
The second group is the Seduction Group, which is responsible for entering the cave after the hole is broken through and luring the Hidden Moon Lion King into a trap.
There is only one person in this group, Chen Ming, but because everyone has seen Chen Mingzhi's body in Ye Baihe's class, there is no objection to this.
The third group is the standby monitoring group, and the rest of the other disciples are composed, and they must first follow Yang Qing to explore the spirit array arranged around them when they act, so that the rest of the spirit beasts can interfere.
At the same time, they should also pay attention to the movement here, and when the hole is broken, they will immediately return to give reinforcements.
That's the process of the whole day of action.
Finally, after a month of waiting, the full moon arrived, and a full moon hung in the night sky, and under the full moon there were a few misty clouds, like a piece of black earth. This also makes the full moon look like a chic tombstone.
Chen Mingzhi and they began to act.
Chen Mingzhi carried Yang Qing on his back and rushed forward cautiously, while the rest of the disciples followed behind them.
This action required to be fast and could not be detected by other spirit beasts, and Yang Qingxiu was weak and could not keep up with the footsteps of the rest of the disciples, so it was carried by Chen Mingzhi.
However, Yang Qingzhi didn't feel any embarrassment, she had a vigilant expression all the way, and sprinkled spices that could dispel spirit beasts on the way.
These spices are all homemade by Xueba Yang Qing.
Chen Mingzhi and the others did not encounter any unexpected situations along the way, and they arrived at the ambush location they chose very smoothly.
They are not in a hurry to act, everything has to wait until Yang Qing and the others arrange the formation.
Shu Yi took Yang Qing and the rest of the disciples of the third group to disperse, and began to arrange the detection spirit array in this forest.
Chen Mingzhi didn't dare to use his spiritual sense to probe the surroundings easily, he was afraid that the Hidden Moon Lion King in the cave would be alert.
Time passed minute by minute, and the moonlight shone on the mouth of the Hidden Moon Lion King's cave, and the two large stones at the entrance of its cave seemed to be covered with a layer of hoarfrost.
Chen Mingzhi also received a sound transmission from Shu Yi, and their detection spirit array had been arranged.
"It's time for us to act. Li Yingtong clenched her fists and said with some impatience.
Chen Mingzhi nodded, ready to give the order to start the action.
But suddenly there was a sound in the probing spirit array.
Chen Mingzhi had a bad feeling, and hurriedly released his spiritual sense to investigate.
Chen Mingzhi's spiritual sense was not strong enough to detect what the spirit beast coming from this side was, but he could sense the spiritual power of that spirit beast.
Judging from the spiritual power, it should be a fourth-grade spirit beast.
The spirit beast was getting closer and closer, and Chen Mingzhi and they finally saw it, it was a Vajra white ape.
The Vajra White Ape is a very powerful spirit beast in the Thousand Spirits Mountain, and their natal power is to make the hair on their bodies as indestructible as King Kong.
There are about a dozen Vajra white apes in Qianling Mountain, and their cultivation is almost between the fourth and fifth grades.
The white ape swung its branches and moved quickly, and it was very swift towards the hiding place of the Hidden Moon Lion King.
It also carried a tree trunk behind it, and a white shadow flashed over Chen Mingzhi's head, but fortunately, it seemed that it only saw the cave and the lion king inside, and did not find Chen Mingzhi and them.
The white ape suddenly landed in front of the entrance of the cave, and he pushed aside the vines at the entrance of the cave, looked at the boulder inside, sniffed vigorously with his nose, and then beat his chest vigorously and let out a refreshing cry.
The white ape froze in shape, and then its body began to glow with golden light, and it assumed a fist posture, and punched the big rock at the entrance of the cave.
