"Lingge, what's wrong with you?"
Hu Jiufei hurriedly slowed down and looked at Zhong Lingge behind him.
"Why did it stop suddenly? Is there anything unusual?"
"No. It's not like nothing, I just feel like there are some changes."
Zhong Lingge had that strange spiritual feeling again for no reason. There was some subtle and bad change in the realm of immortality, but she couldn't explain what it was.
"Let's go first." Lan Siyue turned around and comforted, "Don't worry about things that haven't happened. You will find a solution when the time comes."
"You're right." Zhong Lingge waved away the discomfort in his heart and injected spiritual power to urge Hua Yuye to continue moving forward.
Before flying to the Yuexin Mountain Range, the three of them walked around the city, bought a detailed map and jade slips, and inquired about the mountain pass, and found that it was much easier than they expected.
First of all, because there are relatively few people on Yuexin Island and the resources in Yuexin Mountain are not attractive, the several families that are guarding the island each sent a foundation-building period guard to guard the entrance and exit passages.
Secondly, because something happened to the Yu family, there was no one to guard it. In recent days, many monks had taken advantage of loopholes and no one was in charge of entering and exiting directly from the former pass of the Yu family.
This is very convenient for monks who come to look for resources, but it is very dangerous for people who want to hide and avoid disasters.
The three of them hurriedly arrived at the depths of Yuexin Island. Within the scope of their spiritual consciousness, they could sense several Qi refining and foundation-building casual cultivators. The closer they went to the center of the mountain, the more lively they became.
"Let's go to the underground opportunity that little friend Yu mentioned first?" Hu Jiufei looked at the Qi Refining Team on the ground who were collecting spiritual plants, knowing that it would be impossible to find anyone on the ground or at the foot of the mountain.
Zhong Lingge and Lan Siyue both agreed that that should be the safest place in Yu Jiao's mind. Only she and the others knew that it would definitely be the first choice to escape from a disaster.
The three of them took a long detour avoiding the crowds, and then escaped underground in a secret place, sneaking towards the underground cave that Yu Jiao told them.
Earth escape is a basic spell for monks. When you reach the foundation building stage, you can walk underground for half a day and turn your breathing into inner breath.
Traveling underground requires a lot of spiritual power and consciousness, and consumes a lot of energy. Occasionally, you will encounter rock formations and mineral veins that are higher than your own realm, and you cannot penetrate them at all. The advantage is that it is not easy to be discovered by monks and monsters when walking underground, and it can hide its whereabouts and aura very well.
After the three of them identified the direction, they found the best route to the underground cave as Yu Jiao said. However, it was still difficult to walk.
The underground rock formations here have the effect of naturally isolating the atmosphere, and it is not easy to identify the direction. However, it is precisely because of these thick layers of rock formations that the underground caves are not exposed, and the opportunity has never been discovered.
After traveling for nearly an hour, the three of them felt a light weight on their bodies. They were well prepared, and they stabilized their bodies and stepped onto the flying magic weapon. They swooped downward in mid-air for a moment before stopping.
When they felt the breath in the cave, the three of them fell silent, so much so that they didn't even bother to offer the illuminating spirit beads.
The fresh smell of blood and the gloomy atmosphere of death filled this empty natural underground cave. The occasional dripping sound from the top wall made the deathly silence here even thicker, making people breathless. .
"It's too late." Zhong Lingge sighed heavily and took out a sea pearl. The blooming white light instantly filled the entire cave, and even the distant corners and the shadows of the stone walls could be seen clearly.
They saw clearly Yu Jiao, who was sitting against the stone wall in the northwest corner. Her round eyes were wide open. Her clever look like a small animal was gone. Her lovely round face was stained beyond recognition with blood, and her body was exposed. The skin is covered in scars.
In particular, there was a bone-crushing rope wound. It looked like someone had been severely tied up and tortured, and he was reluctantly cut off from life in the pain.
Yu Jiao's storage bag was missing, and even the boots embroidered with rabbits on her feet were taken off and taken away.
"How could a little girl with such good luck..." Zhong Lingge jumped off the magic weapon, walked forward, and sat down next to Yu Jiao's body, feeling indescribably uncomfortable in his heart.
She knew it was Yu Qingge, it must be Yu Qingge, no one else would know such a hidden place. It's just that she doesn't know how to tell her friends so that it won't seem so shocking.
When she hesitated, Lan Siyue had already guessed it.
"Could it be Yu Qingge? We have been looking for her for a long time with the information she gave us. Unless we are deliberately following or already know about this secret cave, it will be difficult to find her. The last time she appeared in the wilderness of the Immortal Wood Island, we also met Yu Qingge, I always think it’s not a coincidence.”
After listening to her analysis, Hu Jiufei nodded heavily.
"I also want to say that there is something wrong with Yu Qingge. Considering the rumors outside, I suspect that she is the original owner of some otherworldly evil soul! If she somehow finds out about Yu Jiao's thoughts, such as quietly searching for a soul... A kind of magic? Is it possible to know in advance the opportunities that Yu Jiao knows? Naturally, this cave is no secret to her."
Although the basis for their speculations was different from the facts, they ultimately reached the same conclusion. Zhong Lingge breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what the process was, the result was just right.
"I think just like you, Yu Qingge must have done it. She must have taken away the opportunity here."
Zhong Lingge looked around. The entire cave was very solid, except for a piece of ground on the east side. The soil underneath was not a hard rock layer, but loose and moist soil.
The top wall there happened to be dripping water, and the dripping sound came from there.
The groundwater dripped but did not form a pool. It all seeped into the soft soil.
"The opportunity should be down there." Zhong Lingge knew rationally that Yu Qingge must have left with the treasure, but he still held on to a trace of unrealistic fantasy - if there were monsters guarding down below and injured Yu Qingge, they might be able to Give a fatal blow!
However, when the three of them sank into the ground, all they saw was a piece of fertile soil that had been stripped away.
"The scent of this medicine is so strange. Do you recognize the spiritual song?" Hu Jiufei held up a handful of soil, and the rich earth spiritual energy hit his face. It was dozens of times more fertile than the ground. At a glance, he knew that it had grown here. The spiritual plant is a good thing.
Zhong Lingge nodded.
"It is an endangered two-state grass lizard. It is in the shape of a spiritual grass for half the year, and it is in the shape of a small white lizard for the other half of the year. When it is alive, it is good at hiding, is very poisonous, and is easy to kill itself when frightened. It loses its spirituality and medicinal properties. Only in the spiritual grass state can it be intact. Extract. This object requires the support of rich earth spiritual energy and water spiritual energy. It can be used to make elixirs and poisons. A skilled weapon refiner can wait until the lizard form to refine the weapon. But it has not appeared in the lower realm for a long time. "
Although she has never seen the real thing, according to the miscellaneous jade slips of the Jidao Sect, the medicinal fragrance of the two-state grass lizard has a strong sour and sweet smell, and a slightly rotten animal smell, plus the environmental characteristics here. inferred.
