Chapter Eighty-Six: The Vein
"Senior Brother Zhou, you ...... Forget it?"
"Hmm. ”
Zhou Yue waved his regrown arm, he was not quite used to controlling this hand, but he thought it would not be long before he could use it freely.
Zuo Sheng looked at Zhou Yue's fair-looking arm with a strange face, and he only saw Zhou Yue pull out some sap from a fallen tree, and then the sap churned to shape the frame of the arm, and finally transformed into the same state as an ordinary arm.
Every monk has the ability to heal himself, even a monk in the Qi Condensation Realm is not unable to be reborn with a broken arm, but this kind of recovery takes a long time to pile up, and if he wants to grow a hand with Zuo Sheng's strength, it will take at least nearly a week, which is as convenient and fast as Zhou Yue?
Shaking his head and removing the strange feeling in his mind, Zuo Sheng stood up and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, let's go find Senior Brother Wan and my sister to meet." ”
Zhou Yue nodded, their task was to investigate, occupy and hold this spirit stone vein for five days, and now although the flying thieves have been eliminated, they have not yet gone to the vein to see it, and according to the red veil woman, there is also a son of the Yun family master hidden in this vein.
Both of them got up at the same time and walked towards the center of the valley.
......
......
"Senior Brother Wan, are you okay?" When Zhou Yue and the two returned to the place where they had landed, they found that Wan Hou was already sitting cross-legged in the open space.
Wan Hou was about to speak, but found that the bushes on one side swayed, and Zuo Zheng squeezed out of it in a daze.
"I'm fine. Wan Hou pointed to the sleepy Zuo Zheng on the side and said, "It's all here now." ”
The four of them sat in a circle on the ground, and Zuo Sheng talked a little about the sword slave, among which there were two doubts, one was that Tsing Yi had emphasized that "he should not be involved in the sect" before his death, and the other was that the sword slave was artificially refined.
Zhou Yue frowned slightly, and he said with some hesitation: "Now I only know that the man in Tsing Yi has a prejudice against the entire sect monk group, maybe he was used by other sects to hinder our Yuechi Sect." ”
"Well, there are still four days to go, and if there are monks from other sects coming, we will not have it easy. Wan Hou thought for a moment and said, "We should rely on the terrain to defend, I suggest exploring the ore vein first, and then defend the entrance of the ore vein." ”
Wanhou chose a more prudent approach, the biggest difference between sect monks and scattered cultivators is that they can come into contact with a large number of predecessors' experience, and when defending the spirit stone veins like this, they can refer to the records in the sect.
If the intruder finds that there is no one stationed here, it will be the most lax time at the moment of entering the entrance of the vein, and the sneak attack can achieve the greatest effect at this time, so Wanhou decided to set up an ambush at the entrance of the vein, so that those intruders can suffer a loss, even if the enemy knows that there may be an ambush at the entrance of the vein, he can put the target into the vein first, and then push inside to annihilate.
And it is not a good defensive method to ambush directly in the forest like those flying thieves, and the scattering of Zhou Yue and the others after landing will scatter the ambusher's strength.
"It is said that the son of the head of the Yun family is still in the vein, we might as well go and find him, if he is willing to be captured, we can also catch him back and let the master of the Yun family deal with it. After speaking, Wanhou stood up and looked towards the mountain stream.
The stream between the valleys is very clear, but between the currents, you can faintly feel the endless flow of heaven and earth aura, and it is obvious that this stream is the center of the spiritual veins here.
"I see that there is a record in the 'Spirit Vein Chronicle' that the entrance of this spirit stone vein should not be far from the center of the spirit vein, because when the spirit stone vein is formed, it will continue to squeeze towards the center of the vein, and the high concentration of heaven and earth spiritual qi will be accumulated in the ground, and it will eventually explode near the center of the spirit stone vein, breaking through the shackles of the ground. ”
Wanhou likes to read some strange things on weekdays, so his knowledge in this area is much wider than that of Zhou Yue and others, compared to the sword cultivation like Zuo Sheng and Zuo Zheng's brothers and sisters, the more knowledge the ancient monks have, the stronger their combat effectiveness will be, because this knowledge can take them to find treasures, practice secret arts, and explore the ruins of their predecessors.
"In that case, let's split up, don't go too far, and make sure everyone is in each other's line of sight. Zuo Sheng nodded, stood up, and flew towards the stream first.
The four of them began to search along the creek, but during tea time, Zhou Yue discovered a hidden pit.
The crater was under a rock, and the brook flowed along it, but the water had covered the hole as it passed. Zhou Yue used the water spirit technique to temporarily divert the stream, but the pit suddenly lit up with a dazzling light, illuminating the entire dark forest as bright as day.
"What's wrong?" Wan Hou and the three of them rushed from all around, looking at the shining pit at Zhou Yue's feet.
"I found the entrance to the spirit stone vein. Zhou Yue pointed to the radiant cave and said: "This mine has been covered by the stream, and the aura of heaven and earth can only be slowly dispersed, and most of them are stranded in the meantime. ”
Thick heaven and earth aura gushed out from the pit, Zhou Yue just took a breath and felt that his true qi had recovered a lot, it seemed that this should indeed be the entrance of the spirit stone vein.
When the light gradually dissipated, Wan Hou pointed to the ground in the pit and said, "Those flying thieves are very careful. ”
There was a huge underground cave connected to the pit, and there were no footprints left at the entrance of the cave, and the water of the stream did not flow into the cave, presumably blocked by the aura of heaven and earth.
"Let's go. Wan Hou took out a few vajra talismans from the storage bag and handed them to Zhou Yue and the others, and said, "There shouldn't be any danger down here, but it's better to be careful." That son of Yun Xiang is also a cultivator of the Condensation Realm, and if there is a battle, he will notify the others first. ”
After speaking, Wanhou was the first to jump down, and the glow behind him also acted as a lighting function, slowly illuminating the cave.
Zhou Yue looked at the location of Wanhou, this underground cave was afraid that it was dozens of zhang deep, he no longer hesitated, and jumped under the pit with the fog technique.
After everyone entered the spirit stone vein, Wan Hou said softly: "Now our soldiers are divided into two ways, Senior Brother Zhou and I are better at concealment, so we will arrest the son of the Yun family master, if it is best not to alarm him, Senior Brother Zuo will stay here to see if anyone will come, if there is a situation, use the sword to warn." ”
Zuo Sheng and Zuo Zheng nodded, and the two hid at the bottom of the cave.
"Senior Brother Zhou, let's go to the depths of that vein. Wanhou waited until they disappeared from sight, then turned around, waved his hand to disperse the glow wheel behind him, and said, "This mine is narrow, it is best not to conflict with the son of the Yun family master." ”
Mines are small and complicated, so it's easy to get lost in a fierce fight, and it's not easy to find the original path, so it's best to defeat the enemy with one move.
Zhou Yue's fog technique could have concealed and concealed his breath, and at this time, the effect was even better under this dark cave, but this darkness also reduced Zhou Yue's vision by half, and the monk's divine sense of the condensing realm could not be released, so Zhou Yue naturally couldn't see in the dark.
Just as Zhou Yue was groping his way to explore the depths of the cave, the bell suddenly whispered: "Look at me!"
At this moment, Zhou Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, and he found that he could actually see the things in the cave, the rock walls and the buried spirit stones were all exposed, and it seemed that it was easier to see in this darkness than in the sun.
"What is this?"
Zhou Yue asked suspiciously, "Bell, did you use any spells?" ”
"It's not a spell. Bell smiled lightly and explained, "When I was still underground, I used to try to sense what it was like around me!
Zhou Yue was curious, and after carefully perceiving it, he found that the scene around him was not what he saw with his own eyes, but from the little girl's sensory sharing.
The bell can use the eyes of the circumference, and the natural circumference can also use the sensory organ of the bell. Zhou Yue focused his attention on the center of his eyebrows, and sure enough, an invisible 'wave' spread around, and finally returned to the center of his eyebrows, and the perception of the bell continued to transmit to Zhou Yue with the back and forth of this wave.
A strange sense rose in Zhou Yue's heart, this kind of shock wave ...... Somehow like a sound?
The cave world he 'saw' had no color, it seemed to be completely colorless, not even black and white, but only a general shape.
However, with the ability of the bell, Zhou Yue did not need to be blind, he flew slowly in this cave, carefully avoiding the upside-down stone pillars to prevent making a sound.
Zhou Yue dived deeper and deeper, and soon found that a glimmer of light appeared in front of him.
Different from the colorless world reflected by the bell, this glimmer of light with a light blue color seemed to be the monk's protective aura, which looked extremely vivid when exposed to the colorless world at this time.
Here it comes!
Zhou Yue took a deep breath and raised the Fog Technique to the extreme, he slowly approached the light blue point of light, and there was a sparse tapping sound in his ears.
It was a young man in a short shirt, who looked like he was in his twenties, and his eyebrows and eyes were seven or eight points similar to Yun Xiang, the head of the Yun family.
Zhou Yue approached him cautiously, the young man in the short shirt seemed to be focused on the work in front of him, completely unaware of the arrival of someone behind him, he carefully suppressed the sound of knocking on the rock wall, and seemed to be a little alert.
Zhou Yue gradually approached within ten zhang of him, and suddenly felt happy in his heart, and was about to step forward to stun this person, but the person suddenly turned around and shouted: "Who is it!"
