After adapting to the dim light, the three of them walked down the quiet bluestone path. There was a faint and strange sound echoing in the hot and humid air. It was like the howl of a lone wolf on a moonlit night, sad and desolate, or like a woman whispering, like resentment. Like crying.
After turning around a round stone platform and walking down the long stone steps, there was a slightly empty flat land. Wei Lin raised his hand to move the flame to illuminate the ground, and then he raised his feet.
Yunli followed him, looking around cautiously from time to time. When he was about to walk out of the open space and enter the next step, something strange happened.
"ah!"
Wen Xueruo's scream sounded from behind. Yunli turned around, but there was no one behind her. After a short sound of objects being dragged, everything calmed down.
"Wen Xueruo?"
Yunli shouted, and was about to go over to check, when there was a pop, the flames went out, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.
"Brother!"
"I'm fine." Wei Lin dodged and dodged the attack on his side, then shook his wrist, and the sword energy sealed the two of them. At the same time, Yunli's hand ignited a bright yellow fireball, illuminating the darkness. .
Transparent spider silk hangs from the stone wall above the head, and densely packed small spiders crawl down along the spider silk. The back is intertwined with dark red and gray white, and the limbs of the four pairs of claws are all dark red. Eight small eyes are squeezed in. At the same time, those who watched it felt numb.
"Flower-backed eight-eyed spider!"
Yunli cried out. The flower-backed eight-eyed spider is highly venomous. The dark red dots on the limbs are the venom glands. In addition, there are venom sacs on the fangs. The spider silk is thin and hard, like alloy steel wire. If you are not careful, Being bound by its spider webs, it is easy to become a bloody tofu bound by silk threads.
But they also have a weakness, they are afraid of fire.
Her gesture changed, and the fireball dissipated and turned into a long fire dragon, circling around and driving away the flower-backed eight-eyed spiders that kept trying to get closer.
"Wen Xueruo!"
The fire dragon illuminated the cave as if it were daytime, but there was no trace of Wen Xueruo as far as the eye could see. In this short moment, he should not be able to go far, so Yunli couldn't help but shout again.
"Uh-huh!"
There was a faint sound above her head. Yunli looked up. The cave roof of about ten square meters was covered with gray-white spider webs layer by layer. Wen Xueluo was wrapped in spider webs like a bloody mummy and stuck to the stone wall.
Not far away from her, a table-sized Acromantula crouched on the spider web with cold eyes, looking at them as if they were looking at a rich dinner.
"Third level!"
Wei Lin's heart trembled. The belly of this flower-backed eight-eyed spider was slightly green, and the roots of its eight claws were also light blue. It was clearly a third-level monster.
He had just broken through the fourth level of Qi training, and his realm was not stable yet. Not to mention Ah Li, who only had one level of Qi training. Not to mention saving people from the mouth of a third-level flower-backed eight-eyed spider equivalent to the ninth level of Qi training, even they themselves Unable to help themselves.
Not to mention there were a bunch of first-order flower-backed eight-eyed spiders on the ground and in the air that were eyeing him. He looked up at Wen Xueruo, who was already a bloody man, and couldn't help but hesitate, should he save her?
Yunli glanced around the cave, quickly analyzed the situation, and said, "I'll wrap her in the fantasy silk, you cut off the spider silk, and then we'll escape immediately!"
Wei Lin turned his head and looked at Yunli, who had a serious look on his face. He was a little startled. From being a boudoir in an embroidered pavilion to being homeless, from being a pampered and pampered little princess to being able to stage bloody and bloody events anytime and anywhere. She unexpectedly adapted very quickly to the world of immortality, so much so that he began to suspect that he had misremembered the little girl in his memory who was frightened by a mouse and screamed all over the sky.
After hearing no response for a long time, Yunli couldn't help but tilted her head strangely and called out, "Senior brother?"
Wei Lin came back to his senses and nodded slightly, whatever, he had to give it a try.
With his eyes focused, Wei Lin chanted a spell, held his sword and leaped towards the Flower-backed Acromantula. He threw a fireball in the middle, blocking its sight, then turned around and jumped towards Wen Xueruo at high speed.
The Huanshi Ling suddenly appeared in Yunli's hand, and wrapped it up completely with Wen Xueruo. Wei Lin turned his wrist, and the green wood sword directly cut off a layer of the stone wall that was stuck to Wen Xueruo.
The body was strangled with blood marks by the spider silk. The toxins on the spider silk entered the body along the wounds, and the numbness spread throughout the body. Wen Xueruo, who was already unconscious, felt the sensation of falling and forced herself to open her eyes.
The young man in blue kicked his legs on the flat stone wall, and his body flew towards her like a sharp arrow. When her consciousness completely fell into darkness, she felt like she had fallen into a gentle embrace. It turned out that there was still kindness to her in this world. people...
Yunli tugged Huanshi Ling and caught Wen Xueruo, who was flying towards her. The huge impact knocked her staggering, and she quickly lowered her center of gravity to stabilize her body.
"Are you okay?" Wei Lin supported her and asked.
Yunli shook his head, Wei Lin pointed forward with his right hand, and the fire magic whizzed towards the stone steps below the round platform. The scorching temperature caused the first-order flower-backed eight-eyed spider that could not dodge to sizzle. .
It's now!
Yunli's spiritual energy focused on her legs, she lifted Wen Xueruo and threw it on her back. She rushed towards the path cleared by the fire like a sharp arrow and disappeared in the long dark steps in the blink of an eye.
The fat that reached the mouth flew away, which already made the flower-backed Acromantula on the top of the stone wall very angry. The screams of its younger brothers made it even more angry. It scratched its claws and moved quickly along the red-hot spider silk. Falling down, a delicate spider web came out of his mouth, and the head of his bag was thrown towards Wei Lin.
Wei Lin tapped his toes and turned sideways to avoid it. However, one arm was still rubbed by the spider silk. The slender spider silk instantly sank into the flesh, and the bright red blood stained the sleeves.
Ignoring the pain, he didn't pause at all. He retreated and quickly rushed towards the long stairs. At the same time, one after another fireballs hit the flower-backed Acromantula for free.
Entering the long and narrow stone steps, Wei Lin waved the green wood sword in his hand. Rocks fell and mud filled the air, blocking the stone steps in just a moment.
Yunli put Wen Xueruo on the ground, looked up and saw the bright red on Wei Lin's left arm, and couldn't help but worry: "You are injured!"
"It's just a minor injury." Wei Lin tore off a piece of clothing and bandaged his arm before asking, "How is she?"
Yunli took off the spider webs on Wen Xueruo's body bit by bit. Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "It's not bad. Except for the cuts of spider silk all over the body, it's nothing serious. The main reason for the fainting is the paralyzing toxin attached to the spider silk."
After a pause, she continued: "Fortunately, it was in time, and the Acromantula had not yet had time to inject the venom in its mouthparts. It was just the paralyzing toxin contained in the spider web, otherwise she would be dead by now."
Wei Lin understood that the monk's body was nourished by spiritual energy all year round and had a very strong healing ability. This kind of injury that only touched the flesh was a trivial matter. After looking around, he said: "It's not safe here yet, let's leave quickly. "
"Okay." Yunli nodded and stood up to carry Wen Xueruo on his back, but Wei Lin reached out to stop him.
"Let me do it."
Yunli blurted out, "You are injured..."
Wei Lin rolled his eyes at her and interrupted her, "How old are you, how can you carry her for a long time?"
Yunli was stunned. Oh, she was only six years old. How could she have the strength to carry a seven or eight-year-old girl on her back and run so far? The most shocking thing was that she didn't feel any difficulty at all!
A strange feeling flashed in Yunli's heart. Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Wei Lin throwing Wen Xueruo on his shoulders. She twitched the corner of her mouth and put the strange feeling behind her. Can she be gentle with girls? some.
Half a quarter of an hour later, they finally walked out of the long steps. The sun was shining brightly, and they were already out of the cave. Now they were at the bottom of a valley. Looking back, they could see that the houses in the previous village were scattered on the top of the mountain. Occasionally, they could still see some Familiar people walk among them.
Yunli was stunned, was it another formation? She was in the village before, but she couldn't see anything about the valley here.
She withdrew her gaze and looked in front of her. There were a dozen children similar to them in the huge open space, both boys and girls. Without exception, their clothes were stained with blood.
Hearing the sound, some people turned their heads and glanced at them and stopped paying attention. Others were indifferent from beginning to end and just meditated quietly.
Yunli and Wei Lin looked at each other, and found an inconspicuous corner to put down Wen Xueruo. Wei Lin also sat down to practice Qigong to heal his injuries. Yunli sat next to him and looked at the group of boys and girls.
The most eye-catching one was a boy of thirteen or fourteen. His right thigh seemed to have been bitten off by some monster. The thick white bones in the pool of red blood were particularly shocking. He was sitting on the ground with a twisted expression and cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He bandaged the wound with trembling fingers, but none of the teenagers around him came forward to help.
There was also a younger girl who looked like she had been rolled in the fire. Her hair was all singed. Her face, hands and exposed neck were burned red and covered with blisters. , wearing a milky white cloak, it is not difficult to imagine that the clothes inside must have been burned to ashes by the fire.
There was a girl in white clothes comforting her next to her. The girl was at the second level of qi training. Among a group of people who were in a panic, the girl was rarely injured. Only the corner of her skirt was burned by the fire. She comforted her gently. The little girl cried miserably, and one couldn't help but feel fond of her.
Perhaps Yunli's gaze was too intense, so the girl turned her head and looked over, and found that Yunli was looking at her. The girl was not annoyed, and nodded to her openly, which made Yunli look at others. Feeling guilty and ashamed.
After about a while of tea, Wen Xueruo woke up, stood up with her hands on her hands, looked at Yunli, and then at Wei Lin who was meditating beside her, and said softly: "Thank you very much."
Yunli smiled, and after briefly talking about the current situation, Wen Xueruo also began to meditate. Although those toxins are not fatal, they are not good if they remain in the body for a long time. Furthermore, this external injury will heal quickly if nourished by spiritual energy. some.
"First of all, congratulations on passing the trial."
An old voice suddenly sounded, and everyone looked up, only to find that an old Taoist had appeared in mid-air. He was wearing a gray Taoist robe, with white beard and hair, but he was energetic and his eyes were shining.
He raised his hand, and a scarlet pill appeared in his hand. He smiled slightly and said, "This is Ghost Cry. As the name suggests, it is a poison that makes ghosts cry after eating it. It melts in the mouth."
The crowd was in an uproar. Could such a vicious pill be given to them?
Yunli stared at the old man in astonishment. Isn't this a sect of cultivating immortals? What's going on with this cult-like behavior?
The old man paused for a while, taking in all their expressions, and then said: "But you don't have to worry, as long as you work well for Canye Pavilion and take the antidote regularly, the ghost cry will not occur."
The old man patted the storage bag, and a long case flew out and landed firmly on the ground. Then two jade bottles, one white and one green, were placed steadily on it.
He looked solemn and said coldly: "Now line up and come forward to receive the medicine one by one."
At this time, a delicate-looking female cultivator slowly walked out from the side of the valley carrying a tray with more than a dozen jade tokens on it. She was followed by two sturdy men.
