Chapter 13: The Stone of the Soul (2)
A group of monsters appeared outside the place: they resembled large cats, about four feet long. The black and shiny fur is also dotted with white spots the size of copper coins. They have extremely short tails, brown tufts of hair at the tips of their ears, and their yellow-like pupils stand out.
Liu Yiwen's expression moved slightly, he came to Xu Huaixian's side, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xu, when did a demon beast like 'Wind Lynx' appear in the Wild Ape Valley?"
The reason why the Wild Ape Valley took such a name, as the name suggests, is naturally dominated by ape monsters. The wind lynx is also a social monster with a tyrannical and bloodthirsty temperament, and is known for its fierceness. The most troubling thing is that they are extremely fast and agile like a breeze.
This valley has always been calm, and there are few violent monsters. In the many Yizhi illustrated books that introduce the Valley of the Wild Ape, there is no record of this kind of monster.
Xu Huaixian and Liu Yiwen also had some questions, and guessed: "It should have appeared recently! I haven't encountered it before." ”
There were twenty or thirty of these wind lynxes, most of them were fourth-level demon beasts, and they were really not easy to deal with.
The young man named Yu Ke didn't say much along the way, but at this time he said: "The wind lynx is really difficult, let's go around again!" At this time, he was also a little depressed, he had also walked this road a few months ago, but he had not encountered this group of demon beasts.
There is some truth in this, but with Xu Huaixian's understanding of this valley, the unknown route also has hidden dangers, perhaps even greater. Demon beasts generally have their own fixed territory, and the wind lynx suddenly appeared here, making Xu Huaixian suspicious.
Before they could discuss a countermeasure, there was a faint sound of beast roaring in front of them. Then I used my divine sense to probe, and out of nowhere, a group of apes appeared, holding some wooden sticks or stone sticks in their hands, and fought with this group of wind lynxes.
The four of them looked at each other, not expecting such a change. However, it is good news for them. When they are entangled, they can be bypassed quietly, and presumably when the two sides are fighting, there is no time to care. The ape inadvertently did them a favor.
Liu Yiwen and the others understood, and when the two sides were fighting, they carefully bypassed by.
After that, the journey went unusually smooth, and there were no more troubles. Qu Mo gradually became more relaxed, his mood improved, and he pointed to the mountains in front of him and said, "On the mountainside of the second peak in front, there is a big stone cave facing south, and this is there. ”
Liu Yiwen nodded and said: "I will rely on the concerted efforts of several Taoist friends for a while, I have fought the Yin and Yang Beast once, and the magic power of the beast horns is very special, and it is really not easy to deal with." ”
Talking about the power of the Yin Yang Beast, Qu Mo's face was slightly gloomy, remembering the appearance of his gray face that day, and said with a wry smile: "What Liu Daoyou said is very true. However, with you and Brother Xu making a move, it won't be a big deal. ”
When he knew that Liu Yiwen was a disciple of the Imperial Sword Villa, he felt a little bit of friendship in his heart. The exercises of the eight major sects are naturally higher than those of these small sects. Besides, the Sword Immortal has some innate advantages in fighting techniques, so he is still very optimistic about this trip.
Liu Yiwen hurriedly said modestly: "Where, where!"
After a meal, several people finally came to the vicinity of the stone cave.
Behind an old tree more than five feet in diameter, they watched the entrance to the cave from a distance. There was a bare rock on top of the stone wall, and from it escaped a red spiritual light, which shone like a treasure in the sunlight.
Liu Yiwen felt a little relieved in his heart, and it seemed that he did not come in vain. I was worried that this item would be taken away, but now I finally put my mind at ease. The other three looked slightly happy and felt the same way.
What is strange is that after waiting for about a cup of tea, there is still no trace of the yang beast. It stands to reason that it is noon, and the yang energy is the worst, so it should be the best time for this beast to practice outside the cave.
Liu Yiwen carefully released his divine sense and slowly probed the entrance of the cave. The time of half-burnt incense passed, and there was still nothing to discover, which puzzled him. He guessed, "Guys, why haven't you seen the Yang Beast?
Qu Mo also had this question in his heart, shook his head and said: "This Yao Spirit Essence Stone is still there, if other people come here to hunt the two monsters, why don't they pick up such a big one?"
Liu Yiwen was slightly sluggish, and then said: "Could it be that the two beasts were frightened and changed the location of the nest?"
The three of them were stunned at the same time, and Xu Huaixian said, "Well, this is very possible." No matter what, this Yao Spirit Essence Stone is still there, since there is no Yin Yang Monster, it saves us a lot of effort. Qu Mo and Yu Ke also nodded at the same time.
A few people opened the shield and calmed their minds on guard, while Liu Yiwen rose into the air and lifted the Yao Spirit Essence Stone out of the stone wall. This piece is a little bigger than the last time, and I feel the abundant yang essence in it, and I am very happy.
The four of them got together, Liu Yiwen put away the spirit stone, and then there were three extra cloth bags in his hand. Eight hundred immortal coins is not a small amount, especially for some small sects. Qu Mo also unceremoniously took a cloth bag over, followed by Yu Ke and Xu Huaixian.
I don't know what luck this trip has taken, but it is so smooth, Liu Yiwen is not very comfortable in his heart. After doing all this, Xu Huaixian proposed, "Since the spirit stone has arrived, why don't we go back the way we came?"
Qu Mo nodded and said, "Yes, I met a demon beast like the Wind Lynx on the road just now, and I still had some drums in my heart." When I came here, the Yin-Yang Beast disappeared inexplicably, which was really unexpected. I always feel that something is not quite right in the Valley of Wild Monkeys, so let's leave early. ”
Yu Ke, who had not made a sound, frowned slightly, looked at the cave, and said slowly: "This stone cave looks gloomy, it seems that something is not quite right!"
Hearing him say this, the three of them looked towards the stone cave at the same time, which was really a little unusual.
The three of them looked at each other speechlessly, and Yu Ke said again: "Why don't we go in and take a look?"
Qu Mo didn't want to take risks, and said: "Forget it, it's better to have more than one thing." If there is any danger inside, the gains outweigh the losses. ”
When Xu Huaixian heard this, he groaned: "Yes, the Wild Ape Valley is indeed a little strange, so let's leave early." Hearing both of them say this, Yu Ke also has plans to give up.
Liu Yiwen looked at the entrance of the cave motionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, go in and have a look." If my guess is correct, I already know the reason for the disappearance of the Yin-Yang Monster!"
The three of them were stunned at the same time, looking at him. Liu Yiwen didn't explain, and walked straight towards the cave.
Several people were aspirated, and the shield was summoned, and a few sunstones illuminated the space inside. After walking for a distance of about 100 steps, just as a few people were wondering, Liu Yiwen said solemnly: "Be careful of these black gases." ”
His face became very ugly, and a monstrous wave surged in his heart: these black gases were exactly the same as those at the bottom of the Wuzhufeng Mine!
