After dealing with Na Ma Hu that day, because the missions received by several people had not been completed, they had to stay outside the sect for a few days. However, in order to prevent Na Ma Hu from returning and looking for a few people Secondly, after this incident, several people also understood what kind of troubles they would encounter in addition to the difficult monsters outside the sect, so the five of them became more careful outside in the next few days, even if When looking for spiritual herbs and encountering monsters, they always strive to deal with them quickly. Usually, Lu Pingchuan and Li Jian take action and deal with them in a single face-to-face or in a few breaths. If the monster is powerful, all five people will have to contribute, and even Yanxuan will be no exception.
Perhaps after experiencing Ma Hu last time, Yanxuan became more courageous. When facing the monster, she either used the phoenix feather fire knife to block the monster's attack path, or used the phoenix to attack the monster. The breathing technique forced the monster that wanted to escape to retreat. Although he had never killed a monster with his own hands this time, he still contributed a lot, which made several people look at Yanxuan with admiration.
It's always a good thing. Li Jian said during the break that when the five of them came out this time, they would be much stronger against the monsters than the last time. They already had some rules in mind whether they were advancing or retreating or attacking or defending.
When it was time to rest at night, Yanxuan checked the income from this trip in his storage bag. According to the requirements of the missions, he was able to meet them one by one. Naturally, there were many additional gains. He told several companions about this.
Counting the days, the time to leave is not short, and it seems that he will return to the sect again.
But Tang Ping always wanted to stay outside for a while.
"The time we come out this time is about the same as the last time," Tang Ping said. "I would say it's the same as last time. Let's not rush back tomorrow and walk around again to see if we can get out again. What’s the gain? Anyway, it’s not far from the sect, so it’s okay for us to go back after afternoon.”
The rest of the people agreed after hearing this. They were going back tomorrow anyway, so it was always okay to take a look around.
…
But on the second day, when it was still dark, several people were awakened.
"What's going on here?"
When they live outside, they always find some secret caves, clean them inside, and make the entrance of the cave more secret for safety. But at this time, the cave was trembling slightly, and fine pieces of earth and stone were falling from time to time on the top of the cave.
"It's weird, there doesn't seem to be anything nearby?" Li Jian, who noticed something strange, immediately used his own senses to search the area, but obviously he didn't find anything wrong.
"Let's go out first," Qian Chao said, feeling that the vibrations seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. He was worried about whether the cave would collapse, "go out and see what's going on."
Outside the cave, the sky was dim. Their shelter was close to a small river about ten feet wide. As the vibrations became more and more rhythmic, they could see that the originally relatively gentle river water was stirred up like fish scales from time to time by the vibrations. The water rippled, and many green leaves fell into the water like snowflakes. They were caused by the shaking of the trees along the bank.
But other than that, there were no other sounds or appearances.
"Is it just an earthquake?" Qian Chao looked around and wondered. If it was really an earthquake, he had read about it in books before.
"No," Li Jian said, pointing with his hand, "over there. Although I don't know what caused the vibration, many monsters nearby have rushed in that direction. It seems that there is something there. Generally speaking, should we go and have a look too?"
"Well, let's go and take a look. With such a big movement, it must be a big guy." Lu Pingchuan naturally wanted to watch the excitement.
"Well, you might as well go take a look. If the vibration is so big, the guy must be on the ground. Just in case, we might as well fly higher and see the reality from a distance first," Tang Ping said.
"Yeah, that's fine."
During the flight, a number of monsters could be seen below the few people, either in groups or individually, running towards the source of the vibration, but they could still be seen from far away from the source of the vibration. Groups of ordinary wild beasts in the mountains fled in panic, passing by those monster beasts without any entanglement between the two sides. In the past, when these monster beasts saw them, they would definitely hunt down a few and feast on them, but today they seemed to turn a blind eye to these beasts, and just ran towards the source of the vibration, as if there were some good things there all the time. Tempt them, but if you go late, you won't be able to grab them.
The five people flew all the way. Later, they basically didn't need to confirm the source of the vibration. They just followed the direction of the monsters on the ground. There were many monster birds accompanying them all the way. They were on the bodies of Qian Chao and the five people. The ones below were flapping their wings, paying no attention to the five people above. There was even a huge demon bird with its wings spread out, and it passed by them quickly like a floating cloud. This demon bird made the five of them nervous for a while, but it only glanced at them coldly and ignored them. One glance also frightened the five of them, and they lifted their bodies up a lot. The big bird they just passed by had sharp teeth and a sharp beak, and its wings were as sharp as a cluster of blades. If they usually saw it, The final step is to stay away.
Flying closer, Li Jian found that many demonic beasts had stopped. The flying demonic birds were circling left and right or finding their way to the branches of mountains and rocks, while those that were running stopped or stopped. They each hide carefully, or they gather in groups and look alertly.
Could it be that the vibration came from here?
After arriving here, the five of them stabilized their bodies in the air and discovered that not only the direction they flew in, there were monsters on the ground and in the air from all directions, and they were gathering here continuously, forming a big circle. , this circle is so big that it can accommodate a large city. Within this circle, there is not even a single monster, but outside the circle, countless monsters are crowded together in a dark and shadowy manner, like a besieged city. The general army. However, the large number of monsters only looked inside the circle warily, but none of them dared to search inside.
It seems like these monsters are waiting for something to happen!
There are just a few large and small hills in the large circle surrounded by the monster beasts. Those hills are covered with grass and trees. They are no different from the hills you usually see. However, looking at the surrounding formations, the The thing that caused this shock and attracted many monsters must be hidden on those small hills.
"Such a big formation!" Tang Ping sighed after looking at it. There were almost countless monsters that the five of them could see below. Those monsters had sharp claws, sharp fangs, and were infinitely powerful. Some are fast and fierce, some are hairy, and some are covered with scales. Among them, the poisonous and non-venomous ones, the gentle ones and the cruel ones are all crowded together at this time. There are many kinds of monsters that are natural enemies of each other. They would definitely tell the difference between life and death when they see each other. Now they have no intention of fighting with each other and only focus on those hills.
Li Jian, Qian Chao and others were silent when they saw it. Even Lu Pingchuan stopped clamoring to catch a few when he saw so many monsters below.
Yanxuan looked at the numerous monsters below and felt a chill in his heart. Normally, it would be okay to face one, and the five of them could always solve it together. But now, there were so many monsters below that it was too late to distinguish each one in detail. If these guys go crazy and attack the five of them together, the consequences will be really disastrous.
"A Ping, what on earth is going on?"
"Don't worry about them, Sister Yan, you see, they seem to know that there are good things on that mountain, and they all want to get them, but they are also scared to death, otherwise they would have swarmed up there. Don't worry, most of the ones below are unable to fly. Yes, they can’t hurt us, and those who can fly have no intention of attacking us right now, so don’t be afraid.”
The vibration seemed to have stopped at this time, but the monster beasts were still wary and uneasy. Although they were all eager to wait, none of them dared to run out of the crowd and run towards the hill in the middle.
When Li Jian arrived here, he began to try to sense what was on the hill surrounded by these monsters, but they were still far apart. Helplessly, he said: "We should be more careful, I can feel those places." There is something on the hill, but it's still a little far away, so I can't identify what it is. Looking at the postures of the monsters below, I'm afraid the things there are difficult to deal with."
Tang Ping now remembered her sixth grandfather and the instructions from her master. It was also the first time for her to see this scene. She knew that if she acted rashly, she would be in danger, so she also said: "Brother Li is right, we don't want to do this again." Let’s move forward and take a look first. If something is wrong, we will leave immediately. I am afraid our cultivation is not something we can handle.”
As soon as Tang Ping finished speaking, she heard a "boom" sound. The sound was not loud, but extremely dull, as if it came from deep underground. With this sound, the ground began to shake again, and it was close to Only when they got closer to Qian Chao could they feel that, along with the "boom", a wave of air spread out from a small hill. It was not close to the five people, but it still blew away the clothes of several people. The sleeves were fluttering incessantly, and the monsters with different colors on the ground were almost frightened to the point where they immediately turned around and tried to escape.
After the sound, there was silence for a while. At this time, the sun peeked slightly from the eastern sky, and it was almost bright.
Another "boom" sound.
This time the sound was louder than before, and the vibrations on the ground were also more violent.
Yanxuan had been staring at those small hills. During the roar this time, she noticed the vibration of a small hill. In shock, she pointed with her hand and said: "That's there, the mountain in the middle, just now It's shaking the most, is there something inside that's about to come out?"
Several people also noticed the abnormality on the hill just now, and stared there without blinking.
The groups of monsters below were also silent.
There was another "boom", and everyone saw that on the hill, the rocks collapsed and kept rolling down. The trees on it were also damaged, and they fell together with the falling rocks. Go down.
"This..." Seeing this, Tang Ping quickly searched through all the things she had learned in her mind, "I'm afraid it's not that something is going to come out of that hill, but..."
