613 The Snake Demon and the Gukui Cave
"With our strength, hunting an injured demon cultivator has a great deal of certainty that it can be done. Once successful, you will be able to win the Jindan Demon Killing List and become famous in the East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm!"
Huarong was quick to show his support.
The monks whispered and talked.
Half of the ten top-strength Jindan late-stage monks present were close to Jiang Ran, and Immortal Palace monks of the Western Sect of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, such as Hua Rong, more or less supported Jiang Ran's idea. Even if it was just because of the past friendship and the interests of the Immortal Palace, he would help Jiang Ran to hunt the demon cultivator.
But the other half of the people have an unclear attitude, they are not monks from the Western Sect Immortal Palace, like Ye Qin and Zhou Yi are from the Northern Sect of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, they don't pay much attention to Jiang Ran's feelings, they only consider real interests and risks.
Only if the benefits are big enough and the risks are small enough will they consider whether to take the risk of hunting demon cultivators.
Ye Qin thought quickly in his heart.
If ten ordinary Jindan monks were going to hunt a demon cultivator, it would be completely sent to death, and they didn't have to think about it.
However, the ten late-stage Jindan monks present were all among the top 100 in the Jindan Demon Killing List, and each of them was absolutely extremely strong.
Among the monks present, one was the young palace master of the Western Sect Master Immortal Palace, five were the young palace masters of the Great Immortal Palace, one was the elder of the Immortal Palace, and three were the core monks of the Great Immortal Palace, all of whom were Jindan monks with extremely thick family backgrounds.
If they don't have powerful magic weapons in their hands, I'm afraid the ghosts won't believe it.
Ye Qin himself has a tenth-order shape-shifting skeleton demon and a small warship in hand, facing a tenth-order demon cultivator, as long as the demon cultivator is not outrageously strong, he has enough strength to defeat, even if he can't beat it, he can escape, he is not afraid of a demon cultivator.
And Jiang Ran is the young palace master of the Western Sect Master Baoxia Palace, ranking ninth on the Jindan Demon Killing List, and he must be ready to have a killer weapon in his hands. He dared to propose to hunt the demon cultivator, and he must have been almost sure of hunting that demon cultivator.
If their group of Jindan monks took out all their hidden strength, they should be able to defeat the two tenth-order demon cultivators at the same time, and the three-headed tenth-order demon cultivators were hard to shake head-on.
Jiang Ran summoned the ten strongest Jindan monks in Xiaguang City to go together, largely for insurance, in case something happened on the way to hunt demons.
Of course, the safest thing to do is to let a few Primal Monks go with you. It's just that in that case, "the battle merits will return to the Yuan Infant Cultivators, and there is no need for them to hunt any demon cultivators."
The Jindan monks discussed for a while, and they all knew the bottom of this trip in their hearts.
The risk of failure is small, and the certainty of success is great. Once successful, the harvest will be enormous. Especially for these young palace masters, the temptation of the top position of the Jindan Demon Killing List is extremely great, and it is extremely helpful to inherit the palace master position in the future, and even compete for the position of the sect master of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
Ye Qin's current ranking on the Jindan list is high enough, and he doesn't attach importance to the position at the top of the list.
Still, he decided to join the mission.
He had his own ideas in his heart, as his cultivation and strength improved day by day, it was inevitable that he would often deal with these young palace master-level Jindan monks in the future, and learn more about their killer features and strength now.
"Since there are no objections, let's go!"
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Jiang Ran took out a map scroll and unfolded it, revealing the floating shadow of the sea chart in it, looked at it a few times, and took the lead to the southeast sea.
The monks glanced at each other and followed suit.
The ten Jindan monks with the strongest combat power in Xiaguang City flew to the depths of the sea of blood in a group.
According to the previous tracking and investigation, the injured demon cultivator appeared on an island in the Sea of Blood, leaving a lot of blood stains, and was accidentally discovered by the monks of Xiaguang City. This clue was reported to Xiaguang City, "Only then did Jiang Ran know."
A few days later, a group of ten monks flew to a strange sea according to the records on the map scroll.
This sea area is filled with a faint mist, and it covers a wide area.
Hunting an injured demon cultivator "A certain degree of danger is unavoidable.
"That demon cultivator has left blood stains, and after identification, it is the blood stains of the snake clan demon cultivator" The essence in the blood stains is extremely strong. The snake clan demon cultivator's vision is weak, and it is difficult to see things clearly from a few miles away, but his sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and he can smell breath hundreds of miles away. ”
Jiang Ran took out a jade-colored vial from the storage bag and said to the monks behind him, "This is a misty smoke incense made of eleven grade misty smoke spirit grass, I used to buy it with a lot of money for nearly a million lower grade spirit stones each, and it can finally come in handy today." This incense can cover the breath on our bodies, and the eleventh-order demon cultivators can't smell it. The snake clan demon cultivator will mistake it for the spirit grass incense, which can avoid disturbing this demon cultivator in advance. And even if the situation is not right at that time, with this incense, everyone scatters and escapes, and it is difficult for the snake clan demon cultivators to track down. However, this cigarette can last for about a day, so don't stay in this area for a long time. ”
"Brother Jiang is really very safe. ”
"Now that I have this spiritual incense, I can have more certainty in this mission. ”
When the monks heard this, they were not surprised and praised one after another. In fact, the herbs that cover their own smell are common in the East China Sea, but most of them are of low grade, and they can only hide the sense of smell of low-level demon beasts, which is extremely difficult for demon cultivators.
Jiang Ran did not have the slightest negligence, he was quite well prepared, and as soon as he made a move, he was ten copies of eleventh grade smoke incense, which could be regarded as a cost. Unless it's a twelfth-order demon cultivator, sniff carefully. Only then did they have the opportunity to distinguish the monk from the smoke incense.
Jiang Ran smiled slightly, opened the bottle seal, and separated ten wisps of light green smoke from it, "Respectively, they bounced towards the monks."
These green smokes, surrounding the monks' bodies up and down, were faintly invisible, and there was a faint aroma of spirit grass, which was very similar to ordinary spirit grass.
Even if it is a demon cultivator, he usually doesn't pay attention to this incense.
The monks still restrained their breath and searched the sea of mist.
It took a lot of time to discover a spiritual island.
This island is hundreds of miles away, with beautiful mountain peaks, waterfalls and springs pouring down from the peaks, and the aura of spiritual mist envelops the whole island, like an ethereal fairyland on the sea. The most important thing is that the aura on the island is extremely strong, and you can feel the aura coming from a distance, and it is extremely difficult to find such an aura even in the East China Sea Islands. Such a spirit island is only available to monks in the late Yuan Infant period.
The monks flew to the periphery of Spirit Island and marveled slightly.
"This island is full of spiritual energy, and there is no fishy smell in the mist, if you build a cave here, it will be of great benefit to cultivate for a long time. It's a pity, but in the depths of the sea of blood, there are sea beasts and demon cultivators, I'm afraid no one dares to live in this kind of place for a long time. ”
Chu Chao said in surprise.
"The bloodstains left by that demon cultivator are on this island!"
Jiang Ran glanced at the map scroll again, "The aura of this island is rare and strong, and it is likely that the demon cultivator is on this island, with the help of the aura to recuperate." The team of monks passing through this island, after discovering the bloodstains left by the demon cultivators, was frightened and did not dare to stay, and hurried back to Xiaguang City, without conducting a careful search of the island. In retrospect, they speculated that the demon cultivator was most likely extremely injured, so they didn't chase them.
So when we got to the island, we had to do everything according to the opportunity. Although this demon is injured, it is a demon cultivator after all, once we find out where it is, we must not mess with ourselves. As long as you trap it, cooperate with each other with our strength, and then find its weak point and attack it, you can grind it to death. ”
All the monks' expressions were quite calm, and there was a slight excitement under their eyes, obviously looking forward to hunting demon cultivators. Hunting demon cultivators with the strength of Jindan monks is not something that ordinary monks have the courage to do. If it weren't for the fact that their group of top 100 monks on the Jindan list got together, I am afraid they might not have dared to take this risk.
Of course, it's hard to say what they're planning in their hearts.
Ye Qin's gaze swept over everyone lightly, but his expression was still calm.
Among the ten Jindan monks in this line, four of them are monks who are close to Jiang Ran, and they will obey Jiang Ran's assignment, and this part of the strength can be controlled by Jiang Ran to a considerable extent.
The remaining five Jindan monks, each with different backgrounds, could not work together, they could only be regarded as being hired by Jiang Ran, but they didn't take Jiang Ran too seriously. If there is an unexpected change on the way to hunt demons, whether it is left or stayed, it is not something that Jiang Ran can control.
In the end, most of the people who were able to hunt demon cultivators were Jiang Ran, who was the strongest.
Ye Qin knew this very well in his heart. He and Zhou Yi only made a difference, but they didn't have too many extravagant expectations.
The monks cautiously entered the Kirishima car, and the monks passed through the outer spiritual mist and entered the island, carefully searching for traces of the demon calculation. In order to avoid detection, there is no Edgeworth, but on foot. The monks performed the Wind Resisting Technique, and the speed was not slow.
Not long after, the monks came to the bottom of the mountain peak, looked up, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Instead of discovering any danger, there is a main peak on the island, and there is a path that winds up to the mountainside. There is an inconspicuous cave on the mountainside, and the rock wall outside the cave is even engraved with several quaint handwritings of "Gukui Cave", and there is no formation to hide.
It is evident that powerful monks "once were" to live.
If there are monks living in it now, they will generally use a formation to cover the entrance of the cave to avoid being detected by the outside world. Only the monk left, and the concealment formation outside became ineffective due to too many years, and gradually lost its concealment power. Usually, it should be Gudong Province.
This couldn't help but surprise them, they had thought that no monk would dare to live on such a spiritual island in the depths of the sea of blood, but they didn't expect to see a cave mansion in a blink of an eye.
"Gu Kui Cave, do you know who calls themselves Gu Kui or something?"
"I don't have an impression, the famous Yuanying monk in the East China Sea is like a carp crossing the river, who remembers so much, let alone the ancient cultivator! Besides, this is still a sea of blood that is inaccessible, if there is a monk who opens a mansion here to retreat, I'm afraid no one will know. ”
"Let's go, let's see!"
The demon cultivators didn't find any traces, but found a cave first, and the monks glanced at each other, revealing different colors, and then they all used the wind control technique to fly towards the cave.
The place with the strongest aura on the island is the location of the ancient cave mansion.
If there are demon cultivators on the island to recuperate from their injuries, most of them will also choose the place where the cave is located to absorb as much heaven and earth aura as possible.
Everyone came all the way to the mountainside cave mansion, smelling a faint smell of Houttuynia cordata, and their expressions couldn't help but become solemn. Where the demon snake haunts, there must be snake cordata in a hundred zhang radius, which is highly poisonous, which is the beloved thing of ordinary demon snakes and snake demon cultivators.
It seems that there are indeed snake demons entrenched in this ancient cave.
