Chapter 7: Really Just Out of the Sheath (1)
"Jingle" was another rapid metal grinding sound. The expected attack did not appear, and in front of him, Senior Brother Wen took the blow with both swords in his hands.
He wiped his sweat and quickly cast another shield. At this time, Senior Brother Wen's words came: "Be careful! ”
Liu Yiwen hurriedly cast a spell to cooperate. He looked around again, and the other three had already gained the upper hand in the fight with the other demon beasts, and it was only a matter of time before they were slain. He calmly focused on the phantom wolf in front of him.
After a cup of tea, the battle ended. The corpses of six phantasmagor wolves lay on the ground. Senior Brother Sun skillfully cut off the skins of these phantom wolves, and then threw a few fireballs to burn the corpses of these demon beasts clean.
With a hint of joy on his face, he said to the four: "It's going well, let's find a clean place to recover our mana." ”
The mana of the five people consumed a lot, especially Liu Yiwen only had more than twenty percent of his mana left. At this time, his face was slightly pale, and a few beads of sweat were still hanging on his forehead. After a short rest under a large hidden tree, the five of them set off towards the hill where the fire spiders were active.
"Senior Brother Sun, it seems that you are familiar with the attack of this phantom wolf!" Senior Sister Li, who had not spoken much along the way, spoke.
Senior Brother Sun smiled faintly and said, "It's just that I've been to this Hundred Beast Mountain many times, and I've encountered it a few times. This time, I met six at once, which is quite a lot. ”
"Senior Brother Sun, thanks to you this time. Otherwise, we can only avoid the situation just now. Wen Tao smiled, obviously full of joy at getting an extra income this time.
"Yes, with Senior Brother Sun here, it won't be too difficult for us to hunt down third-level demon beasts. "Senior Sister Ye is also full of confidence after this battle.
Liu Yiwen did not participate in the discussion, he was still thinking about the scene when the shield was broken just now. The shield of an immortal cultivator is the foundation of life, and it is extremely dangerous if the shield is broken. What would have happened if Senior Brother hadn't helped him block the blow just now? He was still speculating in his heart.
In the battle just now, he didn't think about using the Zhengang Sword. However, considering that his mana is still shallow, and his main task is to contain the phantom wolf. So he chose fireballs, ice cubes and other spells with low consumption, and handed over the task of killing to the senior brothers and sisters who cultivated higher.
He thought back to the time he had walked for a long time, and the landscape before him had changed: the soil had become darker, the trees and thorn bushes had become scarce, and the ground was sparsely covered with half-man-tall shrubs.
Senior Brother Sun, who was leading the way in front, stopped and looked back, "Everyone, this hill is where fire spiders often haunt. They are social monsters that rest in caves during the day and come out to hunt at night. Most of the fire spiders are first- and second-level demon beasts, but there are also a few that are third-level. ”
He looked at the dirt slope in front of him, and then said, "Every fire spider has the potential to produce fire jade spider silk in its body, and the chance of a higher level is greater. One of the obvious signs of their nests is the abundance of cobwebs in their burrows. You can search for them based on this trait. This time, there are a lot of them, so let's scatter and search forward, find traces, and then converge to hunt. ”
Everyone saw Senior Brother Sun's performance just now, and naturally there was no opinion. The five people scattered, and slowly searched forward from each other dozens of feet apart, and Liu Yiwen walked on the far right. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, several people did not find anything. Liu Yiwen was searching carefully, and inadvertently glanced into the mist in mid-air, only to see an extremely fast blue light looming inside, but a few breaths disappeared.
He was guessing who was the master in the retreat, when he heard Senior Sister Li's greeting: "This way!" She shouted and beckoned, as if she had made a discovery. Liu Yiwen didn't think much about it, and walked briskly towards Senior Sister Li's side.
The five of them gathered together and stopped in front of the cave in front of them to observe. The cave is a hollow with two small slopes connected to each other, and the diameter is about a foot in size, and there are some small shrubs growing at the entrance of the cave, which cannot be found unless you search carefully.
"Well, it looks like it should be. Everyone, be careful!Open your shield and follow me!" Senior Brother Sun carefully inspected the entrance of the cave and commanded. After speaking, he and the two women took the lead in entering, and Liu Yiwen and Wen Tao followed closely.
The cave was a little damp, and the air was filled with the smell of some rotting corpses. Senior Brother Sun released a fist-sized lighting stone above his head, instantly illuminating the surroundings. The ground was dug in pits, and the stone walls on both sides were strewn with cobwebs, and rats, bats, lizards, and some unknown beetles were glued to them.
The cave zigzags and twists and turns, and I don't know how deep it is. The few of them walked cautiously forward, looking around from time to time. Gradually, they came to a fork in the road.
"Senior Brother Sun, where should we go?" Senior Sister Ye stopped and asked.
Several people gathered together, waiting for Senior Brother Sun's decision. Sun Huo probed the entrances on both sides by some means, and then pointed to one of the forks in the road and said, "Follow me, go this way!" Everyone, pay attention, I guess it's not far from the fire spider's nest. ”
When the four of them heard this, their hearts tightened, and they hurriedly cheered up.
Then I walked about half a stick of incense. A few people were concentrating on the front of the people to investigate, and suddenly a black shadow on the stone wall above quickly rushed towards Senior Sister Li. Just as the object was still a few feet away from her, there was a "bang", and the silk above her head shot out a ray of sunset and bounced the object out.
"Be careful!" Wen Tao drew his sword and reminded in a low voice. Liu Yiwen looked at this thing when he heard the sound, but it was a spider the size of a millstone and covered in fur. This demon beast has a brown and red body, six chelicerae are slightly thin, the forelimbs are quite thick, and a pair of three-inch-long fangs are constantly grinding, making a strange sound. At first glance, it makes people feel hideous and terrifying.
At this time, Senior Brother Sun had already summoned three ice cubes and roared towards the fire spider. The fire spider rolled over and dodged the blow with great ease, and plunged back into the darkness.
All this happened so quickly, and before a few people could see it, the fire spider was gone!
Senior Sister Ye and Wen Tao each took out another lighting stone, and suddenly the scenery in the cave became clearer. Several people could see the scene three or four feet away. Senior Brother Sun held the treasure knife in his hand and slowly took the lead towards the depths of the crypt.
There was silence in the cave, except for the faint sound of footsteps, and the rest was the breathing of several people. Slowly, the soft sound of "rustling" came from the depths of the cave, becoming clearer and clearer.
After a while, the cave in front of me suddenly became open. Stone stalactites of different sizes are hung upside down on the roof of the cave four or five zhang high, and there are more and more bead nets on the walls. Senior Brother Sun stopped and made a gesture to stop advancing. Liu Yiwen looked around, and there seemed to be a few black shadows moving rapidly on the stone wall in the distance, and he couldn't see it very clearly.
