616 Gukui-dong storeroom

The Red Flame Demon Serpent fled in panic, trying to break out of the encirclement of the monks and avoid the attack of the demon storm. Dancing wildly, the giant snake body danced, and where the snake's tail swept by, the mountains and rocks rolled, and the ground shook.

However, the strange glow pearl in Jiang Ran's hand, how could it be so easy for it to escape.

This green glow enveloped it in an instant, and the next moment, it immediately found that the snakeskin scale armor where the green glow shone actually began to rapidly wooden, clicking into pieces of withered yellow old bark, followed by the stiffness of the snake's body, and the flexibility was greatly reduced.

Fortunately, it was just a breath of time, and the green glow disappeared.

The Red Flame Demon Snake was only woodened by a layer of the most superficial layer of snake skin scale armor, and the flesh and bones were not wooden. If this green glow could shine for a few more moments, it might even be completely woodened into a giant wooden snake carving, unable to move.

Seeing this, all the Jindan monks glanced at each other, gritted their teeth, and rushed towards the stiff Red Flame Demon Snake with their swords.

Xu Sifeng, Hua Rong, Chu Hong, and Miao Yan were all disciples of the Great Immortal Palace of the Western Sect of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and they were unwilling to easily deteriorate their relationship with Jiang Ran. If Jiang Ran was left alone to deal with the Red Flame Snake Demon, in case Jiang Ran fell, they would not be able to explain to Sect Master Jiang after they returned. If Jiang Ran returned alive, the situation would be as bad, and they would definitely fight each other because they left in battle.

So they knew that the demon storm was coming, and they had to bite the bullet and help Jiang Ran hunt the Red Flame Demon Snake with all their might.

The rest of the monks from non-Western sects seemed to be hesitant.

"Brother Wu, can you go?"

"This. ”

Qian Ling, Wu Zhishan, Zheng Junhai and others glanced at each other and hesitated for a while. If he left like this, Xiaguang City would definitely not be able to stay any longer, so he would have to go somewhere else. This is Jiang Ran's territory, and after he goes back, he will definitely hold a grudge against this matter.

"Brother Ye, what do you see?"

Zhou Yi glanced at Ye Qin, both of them were Purple Sword Immortal Palace cultivators, so they naturally acted together.

Ye Qin looked at the demon storm in the distance, and quickly estimated the approximate time it would take for the demon storm to reach the island. It would take more than a dozen breaths at the fastest, and if the monks worked harder, they would still have time to kill the Red Flame Demon Snake before the Demon Storm.

"Kill"

Ye Qin said indifferently.

"The young palace master of the dignified Baoxia Palace, the ninth monk on the Jindan list, are not afraid of death, several of us are far from the same status, what is there to spare if we are really caught up in the demon storm, and there are still people on their backs. ”

Seeing this, the other three laughed at themselves a few words and stayed.

Ten top Jindan late-stage monks made a move, dozens of flying sword magic weapons attacked wildly, where could the Red Flame Demon Snake hold on, and hundreds of wounds of all sizes were cut out all over his body, and the wooden scale armor was all over his body, and the slashed inches were shattered, and blood was splashed everywhere.

If it weren't for the demon cultivator in the transformation period, and its flesh and blood were extremely tough, I am afraid that it would have been cut into flesh foam by the magic weapons of the monks.

Seeing the demon storm getting closer and closer, it screamed and roared, and its tail swept away several flying swords that had besieged it, and suddenly turned around and rushed towards the Gukui Cave. There is no hope of breaking out of the encirclement, and there is only Gu Kui Cave, which can temporarily avoid the demon storm. Otherwise, even if it didn't die in the hands of the monks, it would be torn to pieces by the demon storm.

The Red Flame Demon Snake suddenly fled back to the cave, which surprised the monks.

At this time, the demon storm in the distance had already hit, only one or twenty miles away from the island, the sky was dark, lightning and thunder, and the terrifying aura was getting stronger and stronger. The sea has turned upside down, and the raging giant* laps against the rocks of the island's beach.

A strong wind suction sucked the monks into the distant demon storm, and it took all the mana to resist it in order to stand firm.

"Brother Jiang, let's go, once you get within ten miles, it's too late to go."

Hua Rong resisted the sharp wind knife and became anxious.

"The demon cultivator dares to enter this cave to avoid the demon storm, this cave should be relatively safe. If it is gone now, when the demon storm subsides, it will definitely escape, and it will never be found again. Into the hole, chase"

Jiang Ran's eyes flickered, and he didn't say much, his figure flashed, and he rushed directly towards the Gukui Cave with the Xiaguang Dharma Bead in his hand.

Hua Rong and the others looked at each other, helpless, and rushed towards Gu Kui Cave.

This spirit island has endured countless years of wind and rain at sea, and has not been destroyed by the sea demon storm, and the mountain rocks are obviously extremely solid. The ancient cave mansion is built halfway up the main peak of the island, deep into the belly of the mountain, and the certainty of avoiding the demon storm is still very great.

Just as they rushed into the cave, and after a few breaths, a terrifying demon storm swept across the island from the bottom of the sea and through the sky

The Red Flame Demon Snake fled into the cave in panic, passed through the hall, and fled along a passage to the depths of the ancient cave.

The passage of this Gukui cave is extremely deep.

The walls of the cave flickered with a faint light of ancient runes, and these seals, as if high-level rune seals, had existed for a long time, but they were still working.

The monks chased and killed, entered the ancient cave mansion, and chased to the end of the passage.

An ancient bluestone gate blocked the way. This stone door is engraved with rune seals, and there are faint aura fluctuations.

The Red Flame Demon Snake glanced back at the monks chasing behind it, its huge tail, and slammed into the stone gate frantically.

What is behind this stone door, it is not clear. In fact, since it entered this ancient cave mansion, it has been dormant and recuperating from its injuries, and has not deeply explored this ancient cave mansion. Fearing that he would touch the prohibitions in the cave, he didn't dare to touch these seals at will. Now, it doesn't care so much.

"Boom"

The stone gate seal was forcibly shattered by the Red Flame Demon Snake and cracked.

The Red Flame Demon Snake was overjoyed and rushed in, but when it went in, it showed despair in its eyes.

This is a closed stone room, hundreds of zhang of space, the walls of this room are extremely hard rocks, and there are rune ancient spells that make the stone walls hard, there is no escape exit.

It appears to be a large storage room, with some bookshelves and jade chests, and a small number of paper books, scrolls, and other items are placed in a messy space inside the shelves and boxes.

The monks had already rushed in and blocked the Red Flame Demon Snake in this stone room.

The Red Flame Demon Snake was already very weak, and shrank in a corner of the stone room. The red demon pill was dim, and the huge snake body was covered with many large and small wounds, several zhang long, and none of the whole body was intact, many of which were serious injuries that hurt the inner abdomen, muscles and bones, and even exhausted its demon power.

The Red Flame Demon Snake was at the end of its rope and retreated to the corner of the stone room, revealing a wailing and begging for mercy. Not to mention ten Jindan monks, even if there are only three or five Jindan monks here, it is enough to kill it.

Jiang Ran held the Xiaguang Magic Bead in his hand and blocked the stone gate, he could block the Red Flame Demon Snake in the stone room alone, so that it had no chance to escape.

The monks entered the stone room one after another, and found that it was a large storeroom, which was somewhat surprised.

"Ancient books?"

Zhou Yi quickly glanced at the stone room, and his eyes fell on the bookshelves and jade boxes.

He picked up an ancient book on the ground.

It is a biography, which uses ancient words to record many anecdotes of monks in the immortal cultivation world on the golden silk pages.

"Ancient Powerful Monk, Gu Kui Zhenren. Ancient Powerful Cultivators, who are qualified for the word 'Great Power', are definitely once a powerful existence like the overlord of the East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm. This ancient cave mansion is the place where Gu Kui Zhenren once lived in seclusion?"

Zhou Yi flipped through it and said in surprise.

""Dique Emperor's Codex", this is one of the top earth-based immortal cultivation codes in the East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, I have seen the record of this book in ancient biographies, and it has been lost for 10,000 years. How did it come here?"

Xu Sifeng took out a book from the shelf, and when he saw it, he immediately exclaimed in surprise, and even his hands trembled slightly.

When Qian Ling, Chu Hong, Hua Rong and other monks heard this, their expressions became shocked, and they flipped through the bookshelves and boxes.

""Thousand Miles of Blood Shadow Escape Method" This is the blood escape method founded by an ancient giant of the Heavenly Demon Alliance, it can escape thousands of miles away in blood, it is a secret that is not passed on, how can there be here?"

Qian Ling quickly found a book of classics, but he smacked his tongue, and his face was also incredulous.

Ye Qin's movements were not slow, he swept over a jade box, and suddenly saw it, and his pupils shrank.

A piece of broken oracle bone inside, with a cold dark luster, revealing a hint of gloomy aura.

He didn't even think about it, and with a gesture of his hand, he took the broken oracle bone into his hand.

This oracle bone fragment, this breath, he is too familiar with it, the fragment of "Nether**", he has a fragment of this in his hand. With the addition of this one, it is two.

The divine consciousness swept through this piece of oracle bone fragment, but what was recorded on this piece was the ghost cultivation technique.

Ye Qin didn't know much about the ghost exercises, but the treasures of the god transformation stage grade like this would be collected first. He swept through the shelves of ancient books. It's a pity that among these ancient books, I don't see the Yuanying-level exercises of "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra".

The storage room was long abandoned, and most of the bookshelves and jade boxes were empty.

There were about hundreds of ancient books left behind, and the monks quickly found many excellent immortal cultivation codes from these messy classics. Among them, there are at least more than ten ancient books of cultivating immortals that belong to the Yuan infant level and above, and they are extremely rare, and their value is incalculable. There are also some biographies and anecdotes, which are relatively low in value.

"These ancient books are the things obtained on the way to the demon hunting mission, and I will hand them over to the Western Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Alliance when I go back, and ask the Sect Master to deal with it and kill the Red Flame Demon Snake first. ”

Jiang Ran monitored the movements of the Red Flame Demon Snake, and swept over the classics in the stone room, and after being shocked, his mind quickly calmed down, his eyes flickered a few times, and he said in a deep voice.

The atmosphere in the stone room suddenly condensed.

The Western Jiang Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Alliance is Jiang Ran's ancestor, how to deal with these ancient books, this is needless to say, it will definitely fall into Jiang Ran's hands.

Xu Sifeng, Chu Hong and the others glanced at each other and were silent. Several of them are in a group with Jiang Ran, Jiang Ran has gained such a big benefit, he should give them a part afterwards, and naturally he will not easily oppose it.

But Zhou Yi, Qian Ling and several other monks all showed anger. Jiang Ran clearly wanted to monopolize these classics, even if there was compensation such as spirit stones afterwards, it could not be compared with the value of these classics at all.

"Brother Jiang, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, for any task issued by the Heavenly Dao Alliance, the items obtained during the execution of the mission belong to the executor, and there is no rule for handing in except for the designated task items. Moreover, this is a task privately entrusted by Brother Jiang, and these items are not handed in. These ancient books and codes, I and the other ten divided them equally, and each person picked a few pieces."

Qian Ling said immediately.

"Brother Qian, are you questioning me? I am the leader of this team, you are just following me to carry out the demon hunting mission, how to distribute the spoils, I said that this is the rule, do you want to challenge my position as the leader?"

Jiang Ran's eyes were cold, his right hand clenched the Xiaguang Law Bead, and his face was gloomy.

Qian Ling's strength is not weak, and he is the twenty-seventh monk on the Jindan Demon Killing List. Jiang Ran is indeed the captain of this team, but the problem is that the other team members are not free to pinch soft persimmons. In the case that the captain is not absolutely strong, how to divide the spoils depends on the opinion of the majority.

Qian Ling was not afraid of Jiang Ran's threat, and said to several other monks, "Fellow Daoists, how do you think these classics are divided?"

Wu Zhishan, Zheng Junhai and others naturally nodded and agreed to divide these classics.

"Brother Ye, what do you think?"

Zhou Yi also agreed with the split. As long as Ye Qin agrees, then half of the team agrees.

"Qian Daoyou is reasonable. These ancient books were discovered by everyone, so naturally everyone shared them."

Ye Qin was silent for a moment and said.

It was impossible for him to let Jiang Ran swallow these unexpectedly discovered ancient books of cultivating immortals. Regardless of whether you use them or not, these things are rare codes that can be sold at rare and sky-high prices at the Shangge auction. Moreover, he also found a fragment of "Nether**", so there was no reason to back down.

Jiang Ran's gaze swept over Ye Qin, Zhou Yi, Qian Ling and the other five people, and frowned.

What he fears the most is Ye Qin.

Jiang Ran's ranking in the Jindan Demon Killing List is ninth, while Ye Qin's ranking in the Jindan Demon Killing List is eleventh, both of which are top-level Jindan late-stage monks. If the fighting method is normal, the combat power that the two can exert is extremely similar, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

Unless special means are used.

Jiang Ran has the Xiaguang Magic Bead in his hand, and he can also shoot two rays of Xiaguang, he still has great confidence and can control the scene.

Besides, he also had five fellow monks on his side, all of whom were Western sect monks, and they all had the upper hand anyway.

Jiang Ran didn't believe that Ye Qin and Qian Ling could challenge his prestige as a captain.

In the stone room, the monks were obviously divided into two factions, and the atmosphere was extremely delicate.

Ye Qin suddenly stretched out his hand and threw out the storage bag on his waist, "Huo" a cloud of ghost mist, a skeleton demon in the transformation period, looming in the ghost mist. Sen Ran's skeleton demon aura, powerful spiritual pressure, shrouded the stone room in an instant.

Then, Ye Qin said indifferently, "Divide these ancient books, kill the Red Flame Demon Snake, and complete this mission." What does Brother Jiang think?"

"Shapeshifter, how is this possible?"

The corners of Jiang Ran's eyes twitched slightly, revealing a look of disbelief.

Xu Sifeng, Hua Rong and other monks were shocked, took a few steps back, and looked at Jiang Ran one after another.
