Volume 75 Into the Cave
"The entrance to the cave is at the bottom of the col ahead. Standing on the top of the mountain, Ou Zhiyang pointed to the cave below that was covered with shrubs and looming.
"It's so hidden, if you don't look closely, it's hard to find it at all!" Yi Ling looked at it carefully for a long time before she could see it clearly.
"Otherwise, how could there be so many people looking for it without a clue?" said Ou Zhiyang with a smile.
"What I can detect around here, there are five groups of people who are at the level of capable people, four of whom are good players at the level of capable people, and the total number of people is estimated to be about twenty, and the other group of people is only one person, but it is a spirit person, of course, there may be higher masters who are stored in zĂ i, but I can't detect it. Xie Junyan frowned and said, outside the cave, there are more wolves and less meat, and the stronger ones naturally choose to act alone, while the weaker ones choose to form gangs.
"The capable are not to be worried, but the spirit is a headache, and we have seen someone flying in before, so there must be a higher master!" Ming Xuan calmly analyzed.
"The cave occupies a large area, and the terrain is complex, without the guidance of spiritual power, it is difficult to find the sword mound, of course, there is no shortage of people who go in to try their luck, but most people are here to wait for the rabbit. Ou Zhiyang shook his head and smiled bitterly, this is the best way to sit back and enjoy it.
"Don't talk so much, let's adjust our spiritual power to the best state first!" Ming Xuan said, other people's affairs have nothing to do with them, so let's be fully prepared.
After touching for about an hour, the four of them adjusted their state one after another, eliminating the fatigue of the past few days of hurrying, and also recovering their spiritual power to the best state, ready to act at any time.
"Now that the sky is getting dark, it should be Shen time, if you want to walk in the cave for two hours, it is already ć time when you come out, it is just late at night, which is conducive to our escape. Ou Zhiyang said after calculating.
"Why don't you wait for the sky to get darker, it's more conducive to action!" Yi Ling asked suspiciously.
"Capable level people, we don't need to hide from them, spirit level people, we can't dodge, or they already know that we are here, what's the use?" Ming Xuan shook his head and smiled.
"Don't say more, let's act!" Ou Zhiyang waved his hand, and disappeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.
The other three didn't hesitate and followed!
"It's so fast! A master has entered the cave!"
"It's actually four masters, it seems that it is bound to win!"
"Four spirits have entered, it seems to be a bit tricky!"
The moment the four of Ming Xuan entered, they were discovered by the ambushers, and their faces changed, not worried about their safety, but worried that their strength was too strong, and if they succeeded, it would be difficult for them to get a piece of the pie.
"Hmph! I've been following for so long, and I've really gained something! Presumably this is the hidden entrance to the sword mound! I'm here to wait for the rabbit!" the cold voice sounded quietly, blending into the black curtain.
After entering the cave, Ou Zhiyang did not delay, and immediately opened the magic weapon that concealed spiritual power and covered the four of them inside.
"It's still some distance from where the giant beast sleeps, it's relatively safe, but don't take it lightly, and my magic weapon is enough to last for two hours, from now on, we will use spiritual power to transmit sound when we speak!But when we can see the giant beast, we can't talk anymore!" Ou Zhiyang admonished.
Everyone nodded their heads in understanding.
Because the entrance of the cave was covered by shrubs, and the sky was dark, it was pitch black everywhere after entering the cave, but Ou Zhiyang had already prepared and took out a night pearl, although it was not very bright, but it was more than enough to explore the way.
"This Night Pearl is much worse than Violet's!" Although Yi Ling didn't have much research on the Night Pearl, she could see the difference just by looking at her appearance.
"I'm an ordinary night pearl in the South China Sea, how can I compare with her, so I've been thinking about exchanging with her, and now I can also provide better help. Ou Zhiyang said helplessly.
"That's okay, it doesn't hinder the action now, let's go!" Ming Xuan smiled and said, he has excellent night vision, this kind of light is completely unhindered to the action.
The cave is extremely empty, you can't see the edge at a glance, and there are strange rocks everywhere, and the passage is extremely narrow, like a huge labyrinth, if you don't have a guide, it is difficult to find the right exit.
With a "bang", Ou Zhiyang pulled out the Qingling Sword, and since he began to test around, the abnormality of the sword can only be felt by him alone.
"This way!" After a short period of temptation, Ou Zhiyang confirmed the direction and led everyone forward.
For the sake of safety, they don't dare to use their spiritual power at all now, even if they walk, they are cautious, for fear of making some noises and alarming the giant beasts, so the speed of progress is extremely slow, but there is no way to do it.
There is no ready-made road in the cave, there are mountains and rocks everywhere, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, there is no trace at all, and there are many traces of fighting all around, Ming Xuan even saw that there was a boulder several zhang thick that was broken by the waist, and it was thought to be the masterpiece of the giant beast.
"I'm a little too nervous, let's take a break!" Ou Zhiyang also entered the cave for the first time, and he was both the organizer and the leader, so he looked very nervous, and he didn't dare to relax at all, and his mental loss was very great, and after walking for half an hour, he felt a little unsustainable.
"Don't worry so much, take it easy!" Yi Ling said softly, since the battle with the fish demon and Ou Zhiyang sacrificed his life to save her, she rarely quarreled with him.
"This is also something that can't be helped, the lives of all four of us are tied to him, and tension is inevitable. Ming Xuan can understand this feeling, if it is only about himself, it is nothing, but now he has taken the lives of others, which means that this is a heavy responsibility, so he must not be careless.
"We are fully prepared, and with the guidance of the Qingling Sword, it is still so difficult for others to understand, I was a little disdainful of why they were so cowardly, but now it seems that it is indeed understandable. Xie Junyan said with a wry smile, if he was the only one, I was afraid that he would not dare to go into the cave to look for him.
"Claustrophobic and quiet everywhere, surrounded by giant beasts, coupled with clueless incursions, no one can guarantee that they can survive in this situation, but I am afraid that they will go crazy after a long time!" Ming Xuan asked himself if his self-control was good, but if he stayed in such an environment all the time, he couldn't guarantee how long he could stay.
"Okay! I'm almost rested, let's keep going!" After a short period of relaxation, Ou Zhiyang felt much better.
It was pitch black everywhere, and by the faint light of the night pearl, the four of them walked forward slowly, looking from afar, like a star moving slowly under the night.
Because you can't use spiritual power, everyone felt nothing at first, but after a long time, this sense of restraint became stronger and stronger, like a person who was used to running on the ground into the water, at first I felt nothing, but the longer I felt that the more restraint I felt, and the feeling became worse and worse, not to mention that in this claustrophobic environment, the whole body looked uncomfortable, and the mental pressure became more and more great.
"Brother Ou, how long is it going to be?" said Xie Junyan impatiently.
"It's been less than an hour now, it's still early!" But Ou Zhiyang has been focusing on leading the way, and he feels a little better.
"Why do I feel worse and worse the more I walk, and I feel a little uncomfortable. Xie Junyan frowned and said.
"Brother Xie, remember to keep a normal heart!Don't be swayed by this kind of emotion, in such an environment, it is indeed easy to feel depressed, but you must adjust well, otherwise you will lose control!" Ming Xuan hurriedly said, when he was in the territory of the beast, he fell into a deep cave and was accompanied by the fire demon day and night, and there had been such a situation before, so he was very experienced.
"Well, I know, I'll adjust it well!" Once it gets out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable, and Xie Junyan still knows the stakes.
"Why don't we rest again!" Ou Zhiyang said.
"It's better not to rest, I'm afraid it's worse if I stop, it's a waste of time, and your magic weapon can only last for more than two hours, and there is not much surplus, so we still have to save some unnecessary time." Mingxuan disagreed.
"Well, don't worry, I'll adjust it!It's just that my mentality hasn't been put in place!" was reminded by Ming Xuan like this, and Xie Junyan also realized the problem.
"Okay, you adjust slowly, Yiling, what do you think?" Ou Zhiyang asked instead.
"I'm fine, just take care of yourself!" Yi Ling's mind was all worried about Ou Zhiyang, but she ignored her own situation.
"Well, you have to tell me about anything unusual!" Ou Zhiyang said with concern.
"Well, I know, don't worry!" Yi Ling said with a sweet smile.
"I'll recite a meditation mantra for everyone, it should work. All living beings are troubled, and all troubles are suffering. Troubles are neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, neither increased nor decreased. The visible is born of the invisible, the incapable is born of being, and the being is returned to nothing. The environment is born from the heart. Still, to immovable control all movements. Quiet, the heart is clear, and the body is cold. Joy, anger, sorrow, shock, chaos, and tranquility are all born from the heart. "Although Ming Xuan is not a disciple of Buddhism, he also understands the meditation mantra, and he has been familiar with it for a long time, it was taught to him by Elder Chang Feng, during the double cultivation, once he is bored, he will stop and recite a meditation mantra to calm himself down, so he still has a lot of roots in Buddhism.
Ming Xuan walked and read at the same time, everyone is a transparent person, and their understanding is very deep, so they quickly understood the true meaning and gradually calmed down.
The exploration under the darkness continues, and the Qingling Sword is like a lighthouse to guide everyone in the direction, so as not to get lost, and the further they go, the stronger the Qingling Sword's induction becomes, which proves that they are getting closer and closer to the sword mound, but they are also getting closer and closer to the giant beast.
"There seems to be a bright light ahead!" Mingxuan has the best night vision, and he can see the faint light in front of him at a glance.
Hearing Mingxuan say this, Ou Zhiyang hurriedly put away the Night Pearl and examined it carefully.
Sure enough, there was indeed a faint light coming from three or four hundred meters ahead, and it was really difficult to spot if you didn't look closely.
"This is the last time I use my spiritual power to transmit the sound, it should be the sword mound, but the giant beast is also nearby! From now on, everyone must be careful and careful!" Ou Zhiyang said solemnly.
The other three nodded in agreement, and moved towards the light.
