"Now that everyone has made a decision, let's rest for a day or two and go to the previously determined destination to explore the ruins. There may be dangers this time. Everyone must be careful and don't rush in." After Lei Fan finished speaking, he said I went to find a corner and meditated.
Yi Yuan looked around and was a little confused. Before, he only knew that everyone went deep into the Monster Mountain Range to find cultivation resources and experience. He had never thought about exploring the ruins. At present, his cultivation path has not encountered obstacles, so he can take it easy. Slow improvement. However, he would not object if he had the opportunity to explore the ruins. This was also an experience, and the final result would be the same.
Xu Shi saw Yi Yuan's doubts, and Shangguan Lang explained: "Brother Yi, the ruins we are exploring this time are an ancient cave. The general scope has been determined. It is about 200,000 years away from our current location." About a kilometer away, there are golden elixir stage monsters there, so the danger is not very high at the moment.”
Yi Yuan nodded, and suddenly thought of the treasure map he had just taken not long ago, and had read it carefully at the time. If they went deep into the Monster Mountain Range, they might be able to find the location indicated on it, and they could go and explore it then. If Sun Yankong hadn't signaled him, he wouldn't have spent so many spiritual stones to take the picture.
Seeing everyone meditating and practicing, Yi Yuan also chose a corner. Under the operation of the Five Elements God and Demon Sutra in his body, spiritual energy came one after another. After a stick of incense, Yi Yuan opened his eyes and swallowed a top-quality spirit-gathering pill. After swallowing seven or eight pills in succession, Yi Yuan stopped practicing. The mana in his body was saturated, and it only took half a day. Today's practice has been completed. After looking at it for a while, I found it was too boring, so I left a line on the ground: "I'm going out for a walk."
Yi Yuan quietly left the cave. The place they chose was very secluded, passing through layers of bushes. The surrounding area was quite lively. When unknown birds saw someone appearing, they flew far away with a swish; the wild beasts in the jungle There were quite a few of them, and they hid secretly when they saw someone appearing.
Looking at the cascading mountains and tall woods around him, Yi Yuan lightly kicked his feet, and his figure floated out, moving away quickly and lightly. The spiritual energy here is indeed much richer than that of Funiu Mountain. The plants are dense and monsters can easily become spirits. We also encountered a lot of spiritual herbs along the way, so we couldn't let them go.
Unknowingly, Yi Yuan walked for more than a hundred miles without encountering any monsters. He became increasingly vigilant and saw a swamp shrouded in dense air from a distance.
There was a large group of people outside, including Zhou Renxing, whom Yi Yuan knew well. In addition, there was a steady stream of people passing by and gathering together.
Yi Yuan quietly touched it, and his whole figure blended into the mountain forest, restraining his breath. When he was about a mile away, he found a hidden place and hid aside to watch.
Only one of them was seen and said loudly: "There was a brilliance blooming here a few days ago, and it is suspected that a treasure has appeared. However, this swampland covers an area of 800 miles. It is densely covered with poisonous insects and shrouded in fog. It is quite dangerous. Monsters often appear in it. Everyone Let’s go together and find out.”
"But this swampland, I don't know how many people have explored it before, and there is nothing strange. Today, a sudden wonder has attracted people's imagination and onlookers. It can be seen that something is fishy." Someone else replied in a gentle manner, making everyone fall into it. meditation.
"The treasure vision is real. What do so many of us have to be afraid of? Even if we encounter a golden elixir stage monster, we can defeat it." Some people couldn't help the greed in their hearts and wanted to pull everyone in together.
"This place is marked as a dangerous place. Monks in the Foundation Establishment stage should be careful before entering. It used to be a place where my human Golden Core stage masters occasionally visited. It is indeed dangerous for us to enter it in the Foundation Establishment stage." Someone among them knew the truth and told him bluntly.
"There are many strange herbs and elixirs in this swamp. Even if there are no treasures, if we all explore together, we should gain a lot."
"Brother Zhou, what do you think of the strange phenomenon here?" Feng Youlin, a peak foundation-building monk who knew Zhou Jinchu, asked politely.
Everyone looked at Zhou Jinchu. This group of people was vaguely headed by a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, so they all looked expectant.
Zhou Jinchu looked at everyone's eyes and understood that he just wanted to take the lead, so he said calmly: "Wait..."
Although everyone didn't understand what it meant, no one refuted it. Those who knew each other gathered together in groups and secretly informed their friends that they knew that this swamp was definitely going to be entered, and they had already made preparations.
Yi Yuan saw an acquaintance, Jia Qinghua, who had some conflicts with him. He was also among a group of people. They looked like casual cultivators.
Soon, more and more people gathered, and some of the monks who were all in the Foundation Establishment Stage couldn't bear it any longer, and loudly said: "Fellow Taoists, there are so many of us now, it's not a problem just to gather outside, why don't you all Now enter together and push forward all the way. Even if there is a treasure, it will not escape everyone's eyes. Even if we encounter a golden elixir stage monster, everyone can win it with our combined efforts."
Everyone agreed after hearing this, and then looked at Zhou Jinchu and his party.
Amid everyone's ardent expectations, Zhou Jinchu nodded. He felt that even if there was danger inside, with so many people taking the lead, he could get through safely. Then he waved his hand and said: "The swamp is dangerous and unpredictable. Everyone enters." You must be careful in the future.”
After saying that, Zhou Jinchu led a group of people who followed him and took the lead into the swamp. However, he deliberately walked very slowly after entering. The people who entered after him dispersed in groups, lined up in a row, and quickly moved towards Zhou Jinchu was not angry when they left in the distance. He led everyone to choose a direction and moved forward unhurriedly. His spiritual thoughts spread out, and the range was more than half smaller than what was explored outside. He was surprised in his heart.
Looking at the people outside entering the swamp, Yi Yuan thought for a moment. Lei Fan and the others were resting now and it was not convenient to disturb them. He decided to go in first and follow quietly behind them. It would be safe. He first sent a message to Shangguan Lang, explaining the situation and approximate location, and then changed into a robe. Under the operation of the Five Elements God and Demon Sutra, the facial features were slightly distorted, and within a moment, his face seemed to have changed. , looks ordinary, and with his aura restrained, it is difficult for others to detect Yi Yuan's situation. This was discovered by him by accident, and it is very practical.
Yi Yuan glanced around and saw that no one was coming. He immediately landed silently and quickly entered the swamp. There were puddles on the ground. The unknown weeds were growing happily. There was much more spiritual energy inside than outside. As we walked further, the water mist filled the area, and the line of sight was less than a hundred meters away, and the telepathy was shorter than outside. Fortunately, we could catch up with the traces of the monks who had entered earlier.
Yi Yuan immediately took a detoxifying pill and quietly followed the traces left by the people for a long distance. Except for some immature spiritual herbs, Yi Yuan found nothing. This was all expected. God He is also very interested in treasures when he is thinking about them. There is an old saying: If God cannot take it, you must suffer the consequences. Maybe the treasure is destined to him and he will automatically throw himself into his arms? Such stories are often circulated among the disciples of the sect, so don't believe them.
After walking forward for another stick of incense, there was the sound of fighting far ahead, and vaguely heard screams. Yi Yuan hurriedly followed closer, but it was a group of monks who encountered a middle-stage golden elixir monster - Biyan. The blood toad, with its body about ten feet long hidden in the deep water, suddenly attacked and swept away a late-stage foundation-building monk. The venom spewed from its mouth made the monk who had no time to hide scream in agony.
Seeing the venom that was attacking indiscriminately, the people who were besieging were all complaining. It was not easy for them to not retreat under such circumstances. Soon, another group of people surrounded them from a distance, including Jia Qinghua.
Everyone sacrificed their defensive weapons and besieged the Blue-Eyed Blood Toad. Its tongue appeared and disappeared, and every blow could hit a monk. The monks who were hit all retreated and bled, but its body was too big, and everyone's The attacks were relatively close, and nine times out of ten they would land on it, causing its blood to boil.
After all, it is a strange beast among the toads in the middle stage of the Golden Core. Its bloodline is still very good, and its defense is not weak. In a quarter of an hour, half of the monks were injured, and it only suffered minor injuries.
When Zhou Jinchu heard the news and rushed over, everyone already had the intention of retreating. After all, there was a big difference in the realm. If there weren't so many people, the result would have been doomed.
After Zhou Jinchu arrived, he directly used the Baihuan Hegemon Sword. He prepared his sword and struck it while everyone was struggling with it. He slashed hard along the wound under the belly of the blue-eyed blood toad. In an instant, a large hole appeared, scarlet red. The beast's blood flowed all over the floor. Everyone felt dizzy and felt chest tightness after hearing this. They quickly took the poison-clearing pill, which made them feel much better.
Liu Hai also took this opportunity and shot a fireball instantly, hitting the blue-eyed blood toad. The latter screamed "croak". As he rolled, his tongue suddenly appeared in front of a monk, and he rolled it back into his mouth and swallowed it. .
The hearts of the people who were besieging were shocked, and the magical weapons in their hands hit the Blue-Eyed Blood Toad like rain. Zhou Renxing found an opportunity, used the talisman and struck the wound in the Blue-Eyed Blood Toad's abdomen. The skin on the Blue-Eyed Blood Toad's abdomen had just tightened. , another big hole was made, and now it couldn't bear it anymore and spurted out a stream of animal blood.
The blue-eyed blood toad was annoyed. It had never been so embarrassed when it met human Golden Core Stage monks before. Instead, it was heart-wrenchingly hurt by the damage done to it by the Foundation Establishment Stage monks.
It also doesn’t want to think about it: Most of the human golden elixir stage monks act alone, so it is not afraid of one-on-one situations. Now there are at least forty of the foundation-building monks, not to mention the core disciples of the Shangqing Sect. Formation, these disciples alone are no match for it, but with the help of others, the damage they unleash is not weaker than that of masters at the Golden Core stage, so it cannot resist them one by one. Coupled with the siege of other foundation-building monks, it is difficult for it to defeat four hands with two fists, and it would be strange if it does not suffer a loss.
Zhou Jinchu seized the opportunity and used the Hundred Fantasy Tyrant Sword to strike at the Blue-Eyed Blood Toad's abdomen with every two strikes. The power was 10% greater than each strike.
The blue-eyed blood toad kicked its legs and dodged the knife attack in an instant. His tongue suddenly appeared in front of a human monk again and hit him on the chest unexpectedly. After returning instantly, he changed his position and hit the beast's body. He also suffered several more attacks.
The monk who was hit by the green-eyed blood toad's tongue obviously collapsed in his chest and flew eight feet away, with blood spurting out from his mouth. He quickly took out the healing elixir, swallowed it directly into his belly, and crossed his legs to recover from his injuries. If it had been later, his life would have been lost. He has lost his fighting ability. As for whether he can save his life in the future, it is difficult to say. In a place where monsters are everywhere, only by recovering his cultivation as soon as possible can there be hope of survival.
