"Old boy, I've been here!"

Looking at the several beast corpses in front of the Cold Moon Cave, Xin Yibo cursed a few words.

The two of them walked for half an hour, and finally came to the end of the inner valley, under the cliff, there was a slender hole, with three big characters "Cold Moon Cave" written on it, and it was already full of cobwebs.

The Cold Moon Cave does not seem to be formed naturally, but more like it was forcibly opened out of the mountain by mana, splitting the bottom of the mountain in half, just enough to accommodate several people to enter at the same time.

At the entrance of the Cold Moon Cave, two long swords were inserted into the ground, surrounded by messy footprints, and there were more than a dozen beast corpses lying in the middle, in addition to the fierce pig that Qiu Ze had seen before, there were two beasts that looked like leopards, and the rest were not like four, but they all had sharp fangs, some of them were cut out of their bodies, and some were even cut in two like the giant pythons in the cave.

Xin Yibo frowned, and reached out to probe the wound on the beast's corpse.

"No more than five days to die!"

Qiu Ze was puzzled: "We have been delayed in the outer valley for a few days, and we have walked in the inner valley for three days, Daochen Master has already arrived here, it stands to reason that they should have gone in a long time ago, why have these beasts only been dead for five days?"

Xin Yibo stood up, looked at the entrance of the black cave, and muttered, "I don't know, they must have encountered some trouble. ”

In the Cold Moon Cave, it was pitch black, and even in the middle of the day, in the hot inner valley, Qiu Ze felt a cold wind blowing from the entrance of the cave.

Xin Yibo said coldly: "This Daochen, after killing so many beasts, isn't he afraid that the head will blame him?"

"Master, what do you mean by this? Isn't it better for the beast to eat the medicinal herbs and kill them all, so that the medicinal herbs will not be eaten? Why should the master blame him?"

Xin Yibo sighed and said: "The reincarnation of heaven complements each other, there is good, there must be evil, there is right, there must be wrong, there is yang, nature also has yin, this is the law of heaven, if it is like what you said, without Dao Chen's hands, Wuchenzi himself will take the sword to kill the beast."

The medicinal materials in the inner valley are all high-level medicinal materials that are difficult to find in the mortal world, they already have spirituality, and it is precisely because of the existence of beasts that these medicinal materials will have a sense of crisis, desperately reproduce, and desperately evolve, so that the medicinal materials we collect are the best in appearance and efficacy. ”

Qiu Ze sighed and said, "In this way, the beasts in the inner valley are specially raised. ”

"That's right, the predecessors who originally planted medicine in the medicine valley, it was with this in mind that they released many beasts to the inner valley, these beasts are not of high level, and the threat to the medicinal materials is not very great, but they can play a role and achieve a balanced effect, it doesn't matter if you kill one or two heads, but if you kill it like this, it will break this balance, and in the next ten years, I am afraid it will be difficult to find perfect medicinal materials in the inner valley. ”

Only then did Qiu Ze understand why there were beasts in the inner valley, and he hurriedly said: "Master, then let's go in quickly, if it's too late, Uncle Shi will kill all the beasts." ”

Xin Yibo lit the torch and walked into the Cold Moon Cave first, and Qiu Ze held a wooden stick and followed closely behind him.

The more he went inside, the more frightened Qiu Ze became, in just half an hour's journey, he saw no less than dozens of beast corpses in the cave, at first, it was just some strange beasts, but in the end, it was all spirit beasts, according to Xin Yibo, these spirit beasts are the highest level spirit beasts in the inner valley, and the number is only a few dozen.

The materials used for alchemy are extremely particular, the same medicinal materials because of the different quality, the effect of the pill is not understood, the quality of the material, coupled with the technique of pure fire, the refined pill is all of the highest grade, but if it is a crooked melon and cracked jujube, no matter how clever the refiner's means are, how pure the palm fire is, the refining is just a mortal product, and the effect will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, all cultivators regard the quality of medicinal materials as the top priority of alchemy, Xin Yibo has been refining pills for decades, and naturally understands this truth, although the pills he refines are all low-level medicinal materials, but occasionally it is inevitable to refine some high-level pills to assist in cultivation.

"This Dao Chen, is he crazy, go away! You must stop him!"

After walking two more incense sticks, Xin Yibo squatted down to check the beast corpse and said, "The blood of these beasts is still warm, which means that they have just died, and we should be about to catch up with Daochen." ”

The road in the Cold Moon Cave is tortuous and rugged, except for the beast, no outsiders come in, but the more you go inside, the larger the space, and the top of the head is not a black stone, there is already light penetrating in, there are more and more gaps in the top of the cave, the sunlight passes through the vines and trees, and in the Cold Moon Cave, the light is as bright as the inner valley.

Xin Yibo extinguished the torches, and the two walked forward cautiously, and after walking about ten steps, they heard the sound of fighting.

The two of them hid behind the rocks and looked ahead.

The Cold Moon Cave has come to an end, there is a stone step in front of the two of them, leading to a flat ground, the area is not large, only the size of a house, three sides are steep cliffs, vines of different thicknesses hang down from the cliff, the remaining side is pitch black, it should be a cliff, and I don't know where to go below.

At this time, there were the corpses of several spirit beasts lying on the ground, and more than a dozen spirit beasts, baring their teeth and roaring, surrounding the dozen or so people in the middle to show their fangs, and with the sound of the sword cutting through the sky, from time to time there were spirit beasts falling to the ground.

Daochen Zhenren was covered in blood, and he didn't know if it was his or a spirit beast, his face showed a fierce light, and the sword in his hand was also stained red with blood, and blood kept dripping onto the ground.

"Kill all these damn brutes for me!"

Daochen Zhenren roared angrily, and another sword stabbed out, killing the spirit beast in front of him.

By the side of Daochen Zhenren, there were only seven or eight disciples left, almost all of them were injured, and the white robes on their bodies could no longer be seen in their original appearance, and they all turned into bright red robes.

On the ground, there were four disciples of Daochen Zhenren, motionless, seemingly dead under the siege of the spirit beast.

"Master, let's go, if we don't leave, all the junior disciples will die here!"

A disciple in a dark blue robe pulled Daochen Zhenren to death, his eyes were full of despair, and he cried out.

Daochen Zhenren pushed him away and shouted angrily: "We have worked hard to get here, how can we give up easily? Hmph, who would have thought that there are so many spirit beasts in this cave, the old man has been crisscrossing the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and he never thought that he would be forced to this point by a group of beasts! You don't need to say more, I have made up my mind, even if I can't get the treasure, I must kill all these beasts, otherwise it will be difficult to calm the hatred in my heart!"
