The underground forks are complicated, and the deeper you go, the harder it is to find the exact direction.
Xu Yuxiu walked underground for a long time but couldn't find a way out. She didn't plan to continue wandering around anymore.
She stopped at a crossroads and looked above her head.
"I can't find a way out, why can't I blow one out myself?"
She mobilized her spiritual power to condense a fireball in her hand, and then used the compression technique to compress the fireball to the size of a fist, then threw it directly to the top diagonally upward.
Immediately, there was only a "bang" explosion, and large pieces of gravel and smoke were picked up.
After another sound of gravel collapsing, when the smoke and dust cleared, a small-scale collapse appeared in front of them.
Xu Yuxiu looked intently and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
"How is that possible? How deep underground is this place?"
She looked up and saw that the top of the area collapsed by the fireball spell was still thick and yellowish soil.
Unwilling to give up, she once again condensed a fireball in her hand.
This time, she injected 30% of the spiritual power into the fireball, then compressed the fireball to the size of her head, and then threw it towards the hole above the collapse.
Boom!
This time the explosion was more violent, causing the entire underground passage to tremble.
In a fork in the road, a pursuing monk from the Zhang family suddenly stopped and turned his gaze towards the direction where the explosion came from.
"over there!"
Immediately, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and rushed towards the place where the explosion came from.
Like him, there were other Zhang family monks on several other branches. After noticing the movement, they all turned and rushed towards the direction where the explosion came from.
At this time, Xu Yuxiu was using her spiritual power to disperse the diffuse smoke.
After the smoke and dust cleared, her eyes couldn't help but glazed over.
I saw that the top of the large collapsed area was still covered with thick loess.
Xu Yuxiu, who realized that this method was not feasible, had to give up the idea of breaking through to the ground with brute force.
"The monks of the Zhang family should have noticed that I made such a big noise here. I have to leave here quickly!"
Immediately, she stopped staying and turned around to step into a fork in the road.
But at this moment, a cold light suddenly hit her from behind, accompanied by a shout.
"Little girl, don't leave!"
Xu Yuxiu's consciousness was keenly aware of the cold light coming towards her, and with a flash of inspiration, her figure narrowly avoided the cold light coming from behind.
But immediately, a spell struck her, catching her off guard.
It was a water whip, and it struck like a snake.
Xu Yuxiu did not escape the attack of this spell, and was struck by the water whip and flew upside down into the collapsed ruins.
The monk who came over paused briefly in front of the ruins: "A little girl with a third level of Qi refining is so easy to catch!"
After saying that, he stepped onto the ruins, trying to catch Xu Yuxiu.
Suddenly, a burst of fire shot up into the sky from the ruins. It was as startling as a fire python and rushed towards the monk.
The monk also reacted very quickly. He quickly recalled his spiritual weapon, a flying knife, and faced the charging fire python.
The moment the fire python and the flying knife collided, a large swath of flames exploded.
However, the fire python was not killed by the flying knife.
When the flying knife reached one-third of the position of the fire python, it suddenly stopped, making it difficult to move forward at all.
What!
The monk looked surprised, as if he didn't believe it, and continued to inject spiritual power into the flying knife.
With the injection of his spiritual power, the flying knife seemed to have power again and moved forward a little again, but the progress was very difficult, as if moving forward in a quagmire.
Wow!
At this time, water suddenly seeped out of the ruins, and the crisp sound of the water made the monk stunned.
Just when he was stunned, something unexpected happened.
Those currents instantly gathered into a large puddle of water, with ripples on the surface.
The next moment, water arrows shot out from the rippling water.
Puff puff!
The monk was concentrating his consciousness to control the flying knife. How could he have expected such a change.
In just an instant, he was submerged by a rain of water arrows.
Snap.
A drop of water falls.
Xu Yuxiu climbed out of the ruins with difficulty. She looked very embarrassed at this time.
Not only was his face covered in dust and dirt, there was also a deep bloodstain on his back.
She looked down from the ruins.
Then she saw that the monk who had attacked her was lying in a pool of blood with holes all over his body.
The blood flowing from his body dyed the water under him red.
But even so, his chest was still rising and falling slightly, and he was not completely dead.
Xu Yuxiu approached, picked up the flying knife on the ground, came to the monk again, pulled off his storage bag, and turned around and left without looking back.
Not long after, another figure appeared and stopped in front of the monk who was still breathing.
"how come!"
When the monk saw the fallen monk, his face was full of surprise and astonishment.
Suddenly, two more figures came rushing over. When they saw the monk lying on the ground, their eyes showed strange colors.
"How could Zhang Shun look like this!"
"I don't know. I just came here ahead of you. When I came, I saw that he was already like this."
The monk who came first saw the two people looking at him, shook his head and replied.
"Is it that little girl?"
"Impossible, she is only at the third level of Qi refining, while Zhang Shun is at the fifth level."
"Could that little girl have helpers?"
As soon as these words came out, all three of them were silent.
If it is as they guessed, then their mission this time will not be so easy to complete.
"Hey, that's..."
While the three of them were silent, one person suddenly noticed something and raised his hand and pointed, "They are injured!"
The three of them looked at each other and nodded.
"Chase!"
Immediately, the three of them no longer hesitated and chased towards the blood-stained fork in the road, regardless of the life or death of the monk named Zhang Shun on the ground.
In their opinion, Zhang Shun was so injured that he was obviously hopeless.
Zhang Shun, who was lying on the ground, looked sideways in the direction where the three people were leaving. Finally, his eyes bulged and he carried them away in one breath.
In the passage, Xu Yuxiu ran away in embarrassment.
The previous battle had consumed nearly 50% of her spiritual power.
Now she only has a little more than 10% of the spiritual power left in her Dantian, which is not enough to fight against any Zhang family monk.
But she hadn't noticed yet that the blood flowing from the wound on her back was guiding the monks from the Zhang family to find her.
"puff!"
As Xu Yuxiu ran away, she spat out a mouthful of blood, making her face instantly pale.
It made her stop in her tracks.
At this time, she also noticed the blood she had vomited.
"Oops!"
Suddenly she became aware of the injury on her back. When she turned around, she saw herself walking on the road with blood stains at varying distances.
Xu Yuxiu frowned and hurriedly searched in the stolen storage bag.
Soon, she took out a porcelain bottle from the storage bag.
There are three big characters clearly written on the porcelain bottle: Peiyuan Dan.
Xu Yuxiu knew what Peiyuan Dan was.
This is a type of elixir commonly used by monks during the Qi refining period to strengthen the body and heal injuries.
She only hesitated for a moment, then poured out a Peiyuan Pill and swallowed it.
Immediately, she took out another piece of clothing from the storage bag, tore it into a strip of cloth, and then wrapped the strip of cloth around the wound on her back.
Under the dual effects of Peiyuan Dan and the cloth strip, the wound on her back quickly stopped bleeding.
Seeing this, she was slightly relieved and continued to escape deeper into the passage.
