186 Returning to the team
Ye Qin was by the magma river and looked at Siye. The earth fire and magma reflected the whole cave, and the big river was red and blazing, except for the loud gurgling sound of the gushing magma, there was no other sound, and the four fields were empty. Obviously, very few monks come to this place.
He picked a safe route and sped towards the exit of the third floor of the cave. The demon beast lair on this route has been cleared by him and Huangfu Bing'er, and it should not be easy to encounter a large group of demon beasts in the short term.
Of course, it is inevitable to occasionally encounter passing monsters and birds.
What made Ye Qin depressed was that although several red sand wolves were running fast, although they saw him, they almost disdained him.
You must know that demon beasts usually rely on their breath to distinguish the strength and weakness of the enemy, and monks like Ye Qin, who hardly emit any breath, are estimated to be no different from stones, plants and trees in their eyes, so they naturally ignore it.
Ye Qin could only smile bitterly in his heart. You don't even need to use the concealment technique, you just swagger away.
What also surprised him was that after walking for hundreds of miles, when he was only a few dozen miles away from the exit of the third floor of the cave, he actually saw a lot of trial disciples of the Ancient Artifact Gate, Dique Gate, Da Luomen and other immortal cultivation sects, seven or eight groups, or even more than ten people in groups, near the demon beast nests all over the way, shouting and screaming to clear the demon beasts in the lair.
Although the monks of these sects were surprised to see Ye Qin appear alone in this cave, they had no intention of stepping forward to make a move.
Ye Qin was a little puzzled.
When did these monks become so talkative? In this kind of underground cave trial in which multiple sects participate together, the lone monk is most likely to be ambushed and besieged by the monks of other sects, and then blame the cause of death on being killed by demon beasts. Even if the party being attacked, it can often only consider itself unlucky, and there is nowhere to defend its suffering.
However, Ye Qin quickly understood why the monks of other sects did not attack him. He had only walked less than two miles before he encountered a group of more than twenty trial disciples of the Qingdan Sect.
They were holding fire swords and golden swords, surrounded by a huge stone column hundreds of feet high, looking up at the top of the cave. Above this huge stone dissolution pillar, there is a dove's nest of a two-headed feather dove several feet large, made of dead branches and sand and gravel, several two-headed feathered doves are hovering near the dove's nest, staring at the monks on the ground with sharp eyes, screaming fiercely, watching their nest.
Ye Qin suddenly understood, it turned out that there was a large group of Qingdan Sect disciples nearby, no wonder the monks of other sects naturally did not dare to blatantly attack him.
Among this group of Qingdanmen monks, the leader was three blue-clothed core disciples, and there were also seventeen or eighteen green-clothed disciples. Among the three blue-clothed disciples, a young monk in blue with a majestic and majestic appearance was directing the green-shirted monks to climb to the top of the boulder pillar, intending to end the lair of the two-headed fiery feather dove.
The young monk unexpectedly saw Ye Qin coming not far away, and immediately beckoned and said loudly, "That junior brother, come over and help!"
Ye Qin thought for a moment and immediately walked towards this group of Qingdanmen disciples. In this Wankuling Cave, it is definitely safer to walk with a group of fellow disciples than to wander around like a lonely ghost.
Moreover, if he wants to leave the third, second, and first floors of this Wankuling underground cave alive, it is best to leave with these fellow disciples.
To Ye Qin's surprise, when he got closer, he found that most of this group of Qingdanmen monks had met him. These people are the first batch of blue-clothed core disciples and cannon fodder disciples who entered the Wankuling Cave to investigate the situation, Wu Hao, the son of the head of Wu, Wu Zijian, the son of the deputy head of Wu, Yan Xuan, the daughter of Elder Yan, as well as Shen Bao, Zhang Yunzi and a group of people.
Yan Xuan was looking up at the demon beast's lair on the top of the cave, worrying about how to cut down the screaming two-headed feather dove. Hearing Senior Brother Wu Hao greet a Qingdanmen monk in the distance, she turned around and saw Ye Qin appear alone, and couldn't help but open her mouth wide in surprise, "Senior Brother Ye, you~, aren't you dead?"
Among this small group of Qingdanmen disciples, there were not many who knew Ye Qin. They glanced at Ye Qin and saw that it was an unknown fellow disciple, so they turned their heads disdainfully and focused on the demon beast's lair.
The only ones who were really surprised were Yan Xuan, Shen Bao, and Zhang Yunzi, the three partners who had entered the cave with Ye Qin. Shen Bao and Zhang Yunzi also discovered Ye Qin, and they were almost stunned.
Shen Bao's eyes widened, as if he saw a monster, he quickly ran over, and patted Ye Qin's shoulder in surprise, "Senior Brother Ye, are you not dead yet?" We haven't seen you in the cave for half a month, and we thought you were dead!"
Ye Qin said calmly: "Of course I didn't die." If I'm dead, you'll still be able to see me?"
At that time, he and Old Man Kong were the first to enter the second floor of the cave, and followed a group of monks from other sects to hunt down the poisonous corpse. Yan Xuan, Shen Bao, Zhang Yunzi and others then entered the second floor of the cave, but failed to catch up and fell behind.
Shen Bao quickly talked about the three of them.
They searched for a long time on the second floor of the cave before they found the lair of the poisonous corpse, and found the corpses of a large group of monks along the way, including the old man Kong, who died in the lair of the poisonous corpse, and was very happy and sad. So many monks, who died together in a horrible group, undoubtedly to fight for something extremely important. Otherwise, the traces left behind would never have been so tragic.
However, they did not find Ye Qin's body, and the three of them thought that Ye Qin had been burned to ashes by the yang fire of the other monks. Subsequently, a few of them cautiously searched in the cave, and then later met Senior Brother Wu Hao, Senior Brother Wu Zijian and others, as well as some scattered fellow disciples, and simply merged with them and walked together, entering the third floor of the cave.
Ye Qin understood at this time, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Wu Hao was directing everyone to encircle and suppress the lair, and when he turned around and saw Ye Qin, Shen Bao and the other four chatting lively, he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied, and frowned and shouted: "Okay, don't stand aside and talk about it, clean up the demon beast lair here as soon as possible, so that you can find the next lair." ”
Yan Xuan, Shen Bao, Zhang Yunzi and the others immediately shut up and obediently went back to fight the demon beast's lair. Senior Brother Wu's majesty, they didn't dare to offend.
Ye Qin naturally lowered his head and walked over. He planned to be with these fellow disciples for the time being, and then think about how to leave this Wankuling Ridge safely and return to the Qingdanmen to refine the Dan and build the foundation.
He took a closer look at the huge nest at the top of the boulder pillar, where the nest of four or five feathered doves lived, and there was a cub in the nest, occasionally sticking out its head and calling a call or two. These four or five fiery feather doves were all third-order demon beasts, not the opponents of the more than twenty Qingdanmen monks present, their feathers were messy, and even stained with blood, and there were a lot of flame-like broken feathers on the ground, screaming in horror, I am afraid that they had suffered a lot. However, even if they were no match for the monks on the ground, flying in mid-air, the monks on the ground could not attack them if they wanted to.
There is no good way to deal with this two-headed fierce feather dove that nests on the roof of the cave.
The monks on the ground, unable to attack the two-headed feathered doves flying in mid-air, could only move their minds to their nests. However, the place where they build their nests is also extremely high, and it is not easy to attack on the top of the cave hundreds of feet high.
The only way is to climb along the boulder pillar to a height of hundreds of zhang, and then go and chop down the monster's lair. However, as soon as they climbed up, the two-headed feathered doves flew in, spitting fire from their mouths, pecking, and biting with their claws, enough to defeat the monks who tried to destroy their nests by virtue of their superiority in the air.
The monks of the Qingdanmen have been here for a day, and they have repeatedly attacked, and even several of them have suffered claw wounds, but they have not been able to get close to the nest, smashing the nest, or knocking down these two-headed fiery feather doves.
Wu Hao had no choice but to change a method, let the Qingdanmen monks divide into four or five teams, take turns to climb up the boulder dissolution pillar, and constantly harass the nest, so that these two-headed fierce feather doves are exhausted, and they can't get rest, weakening their stamina.
Ye Qin naturally joined the team of Yan Xuan, Shen Bao and others. When a team came down from the karst pillar, they immediately made up for it, carrying spirit knives and climbing up the karst cave, disturbing these two-headed fiery doves. The few of them tossed for half an hour, their minds were not on killing demon beasts, and they didn't hurt the two-headed feather doves, and most of their mana was lost, so they immediately came down and changed to other teams.
Ye Qin didn't use magic weapons, let alone show much strength, but he was similar to Shen Bao and Zhang Yunzi.
Shen Bao had seen Ye Qin use magic weapons, and knew that Ye Qin had two magic weapons in his hands, a water-based flying sword of unknown origin, and a red gourd obtained from the hands of the Great Luomen monks, and he knew that Ye Qin was retaining his strength.
After retreating, the few of them meditated and rested beside a remote red rock.
Shen Bao made a color at Ye Qin, lowered his voice and said, "Senior Brother Ye, you killed from the second layer to the third layer alone, and you stayed here for half a month, is there any special gain?" he squeezed his brows, "Our senior brothers, starting in the same year, risking their lives to fight together, sharing difficulties and benefits, should naturally be shared." Senior Brother Ye, don't hide your secrets!"
Ye Qin's face was flat, and his cold gaze swept over Shen Bao, as well as Yan Xuan and Zhang Yunzi. The two of them looked at him expectantly, whether it was Yan Xuan or Zhang Yunzi, they all knew that Ye Qin's strength was much stronger than them. Ye Qin rushed ahead, and only Ye Qin had the opportunity to benefit in this cave.
Ye Qin thought for a moment, shook his head lightly, and said, "I'm alone, where can I fight for others." It's good to be able to protect yourself. By the way, do you know how many disciples of our Qingdan Sect have entered the cave now?"
Shen Bao didn't believe it at all. Old Man Kong and Senior Brother Ye rushed to the front, Old Man Kong is dead, Senior Brother Ye is still alive, what is he doing when he comes to the third floor of this dangerous cave alone?
However, Shen Bao also understood that there were many people here, and it would be bad if someone with a heart was discovered, and Ye Qin couldn't say it even if it was good.
Shen Bao said with a smile: "There are already nearly a hundred Qingdanmen monks on the third floor of this cave, and there are only a lot of them on the second and first floors. Moreover, Senior Brother Wu sent a transmission note to Master Wu, saying that a large number of fire-based minerals had been found here. After Master Wu and the others received the transmission note from Senior Brother Wu, they replied that they would immediately come down to see the situation in person and find out the reserves of ore, and at their speed, it was estimated that they would be able to reach the third floor of this cave now. ”
Ye Qin's heart moved.
Master Wu wants to come to this cave?
He remembered something. The distribution of Tsukidan was issued by the head of Wu himself, and the head of Wu personally said that the map scroll could be exchanged for the building of the kidan. In this case, maybe he could go directly to the head of Wu Ruiyang and exchange the map scroll for the reward of Tsukidan.
You must know that the spirit stone mine road of this Wankuling will soon be occupied by the [***] sect and opened up into a spirit stone mine. After the mine roads are occupied by the various sects, each mine road will be guarded by special personnel. It was useless for him to keep the map scroll on his body, and after a while, it was completely useless. It's better to replace it with Tsukidan as soon as possible, and it can be regarded as waste utilization. No matter how much Tsukidan you can get from the master, it's a benefit.
Of course, he could refine Tsukidan by himself.
However, he needs a Tsukidan to cover it up.
Because immortal cultivators are rarely able to rely on their own strength to forcibly break through the bottleneck without Tsukidan. Among the thousands of immortal cultivators, only such a highly gifted immortal cultivator could appear. Such a wizard can not only build his own foundation, but even have a great chance of breaking through the bottleneck of the Jindan period. As soon as such a natural monk appears, he must be closely protected by the sect and become the "preparing" Jindan monk of the sect.
Ye Qin didn't want to be protected by the sect.
He handed over the map scroll, and the sect rewarded a number of Zhuji Dan, and even if he succeeded in building the foundation in the future, others would think that he had successfully built the foundation by taking this Zhuji Dan. I won't think about anything else, and I won't find out his secrets.
This point has been repeatedly considered by Ye Qin many times.
In addition, these eight map scrolls were enough to exchange for eight Tsukidan, and it also saved him the large number of spirit stones he needed to refine Tsukidan. lest he have to dig the spirit stone mine all night.
However, obtaining Tsukidan rewards from the sect can create a problem.
Tsukidan is crazy. He is just an unknown monk in Tsing Yi, if he is rewarded with eight Tsukidan pills by the master, he is afraid that he will not be able to live for a day, and he will not know how to die. From obtaining Tsukidan, to taking Tsukidan, to finally succeeding in building the foundation, this period of time is by no means short, enough for those who have a heart to do it.
Ye Qin weighed it in his heart, and his gaze swept over Yan Xuan, Shen Bao, and Zhang Yunzi.
He suddenly smiled lightly in his heart, hehe, he is blessed to share, this is true. Everyone worked hard and worked hard, not just to build a foundation and ask for the immortal way. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here. A few of them also contributed when they were on the first floor of the cave, and he was embarrassed to swallow it alone.
However, it is even more natural that there are difficulties.
If there were any changes after the head of the sect issued Tsukidan, it wouldn't be that everyone's eyes were on him alone, wouldn't it? I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of being remembered by thieves.
"Let's go, follow me to the master!"
Ye Qin said in a low voice, and after recovering his mana, he suddenly got up and rushed directly towards the entrance and exit of the third floor of the cave.
Yan Xuan, Shen Bao, Zhang Yunzi and the others glanced at each other, and suddenly showed ecstasy. Ye Qin really has good things on him, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the master. And Senior Brother Ye is kind enough to call them too. Whatever they end up with, their benefits are indispensable. The few of them didn't make a sound, and they didn't alarm the other fellow disciples, and they slipped away.
Their location is very remote, and even if they leave, it is not easy for others to find out
"Senior Sister Yan, it's time for you to go. Senior Sister Yan, hey, what about people?!" After the previous batch of disciples rotated, Wu Hao was about to ask Yan Xuan to take people up, but when he turned around, he found that Yan Xuan and the others were missing, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
A blue-clothed young monk with a smile on his face beside Wu Hao said nonchalantly: "Senior Brother Wu, don't shout, they didn't say hello, and hurriedly walked towards the exit of the cave." Ever since Senior Sister Yan joined us, she has been a little distracted, and I really don't know what kind of fame she is doing. And the new junior brother seemed a little strange, as soon as he came, Senior Sister Yan kept staring at him, and the other two junior disciples also followed him away. Isn't there anything famous in this?"
Wu Hao frowned and said, "Wu Zijian, what do you want to say?" Is Senior Sister Yan the kind of person who doesn't know how to clean herself and love herself?"
Seeing that Wu Hao had misunderstood, Wu Zijian coughed lightly and said embarrassedly: "I mean, that new junior brother's behavior is very suspicious, there must be some great benefits on him, so that it is possible for Senior Sister Yan and the other three to leave with him without saying a word? Senior brother, do you want me to follow and take a look, what are the benefits that make them leave in such a hurry? In this Wankuling Cave, there are really not many benefits that can attract people. Or a map scroll, or a tsukidan, or some rare and rare spiritual object, it's not far off. Otherwise, for no reason, they rushed to reincarnate in such a hurry?"
Wu Hao hesitated and said, "Senior Brother Wu, follow them, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
Wu Zijian sneered: "Senior Brother Wu, those who achieve great things are not informal. If that kid really has something strange on him, he can exchange it for Tsukidan. Do you want to wait for them to build a foundation in Dan, and you and I will call Senior Sister Yan and others uncles?"
Wu Hao was silent for a moment.
Wu Zijian knew Wu Hao's surname very well, and his silence was tantamount to acquiescing to his opinion. This matter is inconvenient for Wu Hao to come forward in person. Wu Zijian no longer hesitated, and immediately flew in the direction of Ye Qin and the others.
(To be continued)
