Chapter 34: The Grotto
Zhou Shu held the last golden hairpin, his eyes were like torches, staring at the fallen cultivator tightly.
The cultivator was tightly wrapped in green vines, like a green cocoon, swaying back and forth, but he couldn't break free at all, and he couldn't even make a sound.
After five breaths, the green vine turned into a faint green light and gradually faded.
The mask cultivator was hit hard in succession, and with the effect of the God Erosion Pill, his consciousness was very unconscious, and he barely supported the ground with his hands, trying to get up.
Sou.
Jin Hai turned into a streamer of light, penetrated through his body, and directly pierced his throat.
The masked cultivator snorted, his body twitched a few times, and he collapsed to his death.
Zhou Shu breathed a sigh of relief and dragged the mask cultivator in front of him.
When he took off the mask, he revealed a pale and ugly face, his eyes were wide and terrifying, and he died so inexplicably that he couldn't believe it.
Zhou Shu was also a little lucky, the cultivator in front of him had at least the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, but he still died in his own hands.
But in the final analysis, the essence of Qi Refining Realm cultivators is almost the same.
If a cultivator does not reach the foundation building realm, he will not be able to release his divine sense, he will not be able to visualize inwardly, he will not be able to eat and drink, he will not be able to use the magic weapon of flying, and he will need to eat, drink, and sleep.
Zhou Shu searched carefully and gained a lot.
First of all, there are storage bags. Then there were dozens of medium-grade spirit stones, two bottles of elixir, some talismans, a few jade slips, and a fusiform magic weapon.
Before he had time to take a closer look, Zhou Shu put it all in his arms, then took off the black clothes of the mask cultivator, quickly put it on himself, and then put on the strange mask.
Using a cleansing technique to cover up the blood stains on his clothes, he looked up and down, and it didn't seem to be much different from the mask cultivator.
"Just go out and try it. ”
Zhou Shu imitated the posture of the mask cultivator and walked out of the cave step by step.
In front of him is a long and narrow road, which seems to be a natural formation, and there are falling stalagmites everywhere.
Fortunately, there is no one else.
Zhou Shu walked along the road, walked a zigzag way, and came to a slightly wide cave.
There are a few bright lights burning in the cave, and there are a few futons, and there is a two-person high stone statue in front of the futon, and the stone statue is also wearing a strange mask, and its eyes seem to be glowing, which is quite weird.
Next to the stone statue, two black-clothed cultivators wearing masks sat opposite each other, glanced at Zhou Shu slightly, then ignored them and continued to chat.
"Zhao Da and Li Si are all out today, should we also go out to find someone? Gather the eighty-one living sacrifices as soon as possible, and the reward given by the master will definitely be much more. ”
"Forget it, it's not our turn today, and besides, we have to keep people here. ”
"What is there to keep, those group of scattered cultivators who have eaten the Eclipse God Pill are now like sheep, cut them casually, and they are afraid that they will not be able to escape?"
"That's not what I said, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what happens, besides, the master will come back later, and if he sees no one, we won't be miserable. ”
The two chatted to themselves, not taking Zhou Shu in their eyes.
That's just right, you can go out.
Zhou Shu pretended to be nothing, glanced left and right, and suddenly muttered in his heart, there are five passages on the side of the cave, except for the one that came out, there are four, which one is the way out.
No matter what, Zhou Shu walked straight to the opposite path.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
A slightly confused, but very cold voice came from behind him.
Zhou Shu was shocked in his heart and stopped in place.
Could it be that he was noticed?
"Wang Ba, what are you doing in the master's room, do you want to steal something while the master is away?"
"On Friday, you think too highly of him, how can he have the guts? I'm afraid that he has fed too much God Eclipse Pill and has been contaminated with medicinal gas, and he is a little stupid, haha. ”
Zhou Shu's mind was relieved, fortunately, he just took the wrong path and was not noticed, but why does this name sound so strange.
The cultivator he pretended to be was originally called Wang Ba......
It seems that these mask cultivators don't use their real names, just random code names, but this "Wang Ba" is really sad and sad, and I don't know how he endured it. Most of them are at the bottom of the rankings, and they don't have much status here.
Zhou Shu turned around slowly, and said hesitantly, "Inside...... Urgent...... I can't hold it back......"
Since others say he's stupid, it's better to mess around. He had heard the voice of the mask cultivator before, and if he imitated it slightly, it was seven or eight points similar.
"Get out, don't smoke Lao Tzu!"
The two scolded for a while, and quickly turned their heads.
Zhou Shu looked at the passages on the left and right, his heart was crossed, and he walked directly to the left, but the two cultivators didn't speak again.
"Seems right. ”
Zhou Shu's heart was relieved and he walked briskly along the passage.
But after walking for a while, I realized that something was wrong, and there was no exit to see at the end of this passage, but there were several freshly excavated stone chambers on both sides, which seemed to be similar to warehouses.
Now that you're in, you can't turn around and go out, because it's easier to get suspicious.
After thinking about it, Zhou Shu walked to a stone room.
As soon as he walked to the door, he was pushed out by an invisible force, and if he hadn't flashed fast, his body would definitely have smashed into the stone wall.
It can be seen that there is a certain formation arranged in the cave to prevent others from entering, and there must be a corresponding formation to open it.
Even after turning a few stone chambers, it was the same situation.
I was a little disappointed and walked to the last stone room, but I stepped in unexpectedly, and there was no hindrance.
Walking into the stone room, Zhou Shu was stunned, this stone room was extremely large, but he didn't feel the existence of a trace of aura, and there was no decoration in it, only a huge altar was placed in the middle.
The altar is square, the length and width are five zhang, the height is nearly one zhang, the black paint is like ink, the altar is carved with countless complicated red runes, like dried blood, the forest is terrifying. Many things resembling candlesticks, dotted on the platform, emitted a burst of ghostly light from time to time, revealing an indescribably strange atmosphere.
"This should be the place where the fire refining array is arranged, it is really evil, and it is not a good thing. It's no wonder that there is no defensive formation here, most of the time these things can't be contaminated with aura, but it seems that they are not completely arranged, and there is no source of power. ”
Zhou Shu thought about it, stepped forward quickly, reached out and grabbed a candlestick, and stuffed it into the storage bag without thinking.
Destroy it first, so that the big array cannot succeed, it can help the scattered cultivators delay a little time, and most importantly, it can be brought back as evidence.
Zhou Shu walked out of the stone room quickly and went straight out of the passage.
The two of them outside were still chatting, and glanced at Zhou Shu with disgust, "What are you shaking, dead Wang Ba, it's really a fucking eyesore." ”
Zhou Shu didn't speak, and walked towards the passage on the right with his head down.
You can't be wrong this time, right?
After walking a long way and bypassing many twists and turns, some light finally appeared in front of me.
Picking up many vines that covered the entrance of the cave, he finally saw the light of day, the tense heartstrings were loosened at once, and Zhou Shu stepped out happily.
Unexpectedly, his feet suddenly fell into the air, and he fell straight down.
The exit is actually on the cliff?
