The place where several people hid and rested was a dry cave that Li Jian found. It was a secluded and hard-to-find place. After choosing it, Qian Chao carefully arranged the "Hidden Spirit Array". This time he was extremely careful, and almost After the first inspection, I felt relieved.
"Is the arrangement ready?" Tang Ping asked when she saw him entering the small cave.
"It's ready."
Hearing what he said, several people felt relieved. After all, Qianchao's Hidden Spirit Formation was protecting them around them, so they could rest assured and cultivate themselves here.
Now that he was safe for the time being, Yanxuan asked Lu Pingchuan to take off his robe and armor. He looked at the wounds on his body carefully, and then took out the elixir he carried with him. He applied what should be applied and what should be taken. After taking it, I started to sit cross-legged and meditate.
At this time, they were outside the sect and had just experienced a life-and-death battle with high-level monks. Therefore, while sitting cross-legged to practice, the five of them all used spiritual stones to speed up the recovery of spiritual energy.
In a blink of an eye, the sunset rose again, and by the afternoon of the next day, Qian Chao opened his eyes and looked at his hands first. Sure enough, the spiritual stones he held in his hands before sitting cross-legged were gone, but at this time he felt spiritual energy all over his body. Energetic and full of energy.
Looking around again, Tang Ping, Li Jian and Yan Xuan beside them have all woken up from their trance. Looking at their eyes, you can tell that these three people have recovered.
Only Lu Pingchuan was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and motionless. There was nothing he could do. In yesterday's fight, Brother Lu was the most seriously injured among the five people. He was also injured by the evil sword and lost his energy and blood. Naturally, he needed more time to recuperate. Yanxuan went over to check Lu Pingchuan's situation, then nodded gently to indicate that he was fine, and the others felt relieved.
Since Lu Pingchuan was still awake, the other four people continued to wait for him.
On the morning of the third day, Lu Pingchuan woke up. He stretched a lot, and then said: "Okay, okay, eh, it doesn't hurt anymore, hehe!"
After hearing this, Yanxuan leaned over to take a look, and then said in surprise: "Ah! Really, it's a physical training. The injuries on Brother Lu's body are already much better."
Qian Chao looked at the armor that was damaged by the evil sword when Lu Pingchuan stretched out his arms, and said: "Brother Lu, the armor on his body is damaged. When I go back, I will refine another one for you. It must be stronger than this one." .”
The power of the evil sword has left a deep impression on Qian Chao.
"Well, by the way, Sister Tang, what should we do today? Should we catch that big spider before we go back?"
"Brother Lu, that Ugly Woman Spider is now a low-level and high-level one. It's hard for us to deal with it. Don't forget, there's still one tied up in Qian's Soul Locking Array. There are a lot of things going on today, but we can go there again. Take a look, in my estimation, it’s probably time for the big spider to leave.”
Yanxuan listened and asked her: "If it leaves, where will it go?"
"It's hard to say, but it should go to a place with more and more powerful prey. With the current level of the ugly spider, it is difficult for it to have an opponent in the Pipa Territory, but it can only see those things. It’s no longer attractive, just like us monks, we Qi Refining monks now use Yuan Yang Dan, but those foundation-building monks no longer look down on this Yuan Yang Dan, it’s the same reason.”
"Well, I think it's time to take a look. If that guy really leaves, we need to take a closer look there." Qian Chao said next to him.
"Hey, what are you waiting for? Let's go now!" Lu Pingchuan said anxiously.
…
Speaking of which, after waking up yesterday, Qian Chao wanted to go back to the place where the two monster insects fought to take another look, but was stopped by Tang Ping. Qian Chao was worried that it would be bad if someone else passed by there. , but under Tang Ping's persuasion, they still waited until Lu Pingchuan responded before they went together.
As for the reason why Qian Chao was anxious, it was because he found that the guy who was first trapped by the monster, that is, Yu Xi, used a lot of talismans when he did it, which was what interested him the most.
At first, he was worried that the person was the disciple of a senior who was proficient in the art of talismans in Jiuxuan, but then he thought that if there was a senior master, he would use such a sneaky way to steal treasures discovered by others to build a foundation?
It was Tang Ping who told him that he was probably a son of a certain aristocratic family who had learned the family's talisman skills before coming to the sect. Only then did Qian Chao understand, but he became even more interested in that person's talisman skills. .
After the five people came out of the hiding place and flew for a while, they saw the spider web like a large grave mound from a distance.
At this time, we have to rely on Li Jian's power of induction. Although the five people flying here are not very high or fast, after all, there may be a low-level and high-level ugly spider hidden there, so we still need to act with caution. .
From a distance, there seemed to be a crack on the tomb-like spider web. Judging from the size and shape of the crack, it seemed that something big had come out of it.
"Look" Li Jian pointed to the ground.
There were obvious shallow pits and dense footprints on the ground. It seemed that a big guy with many legs came out of the spider web and walked away.
"So that big spider has run away?" Lu Pingchuan asked.
"At least in my opinion, this place is almost empty and there is no threat." Li Jian said, hanging above the large tomb mound surrounded by spider webs, taking in the feeling carefully.
"Well, let's go in and take a look." Lu Pingchuan said.
After landing on the ground, Qian Chao said: "In my opinion, I might as well go in with Brother Li first."
What Qian Chao thought at this time was not that there would be danger inside. He thought that there had been a fierce fight inside, and that two people had died inside. If the death was ugly, the timid sister Yan would probably feel uncomfortable after seeing it. That's why I thought of going in first and taking a look, lest everyone go in hastily and Sister Yan would be frightened.
"Brother Li, is there really no danger here?" After hearing Qian Chao's words, Yanxuan understood what he meant, but what she thought was that she had decided to kill people the day before yesterday, and now the situation inside was terrifying and terrible. What can you do? Just don't be surprised and take it calmly.
Li Jian looked at Yan Xuan's eyes and nodded.
"Since nothing happens, let's go in together. Don't worry about me."
…
The dense layer of spider silk outside has hardened over the past two days.
Qian Chao broke a branch nearby. He was impressed that the spider web was extremely sticky, so he tried it with that branch. He found that the spider web was no longer sticky and had become hard and brittle, like amber. .
When Lu Pingchuan saw it, he touched the hardened spider web with his fingers, "This spider web has hardened. I remember it was quite sticky at the time. Sister Tang, is this useful?"
"It's useless. After a while, they will collapse on their own due to exposure to wind and sun."
After walking inside through the crack that the ugly spider had torn when it left, there was still a lot of blood smell inside.
Tang Ping glanced around, then reached out to hold Yan Xuan's arm. As she expected, although Sister Yan couldn't see anything on the surface, her body was trembling slightly.
The black smoke that originally filled the place has long since disappeared after the death of the evil insect. There is still the body of the evil insect on the ground. It can be seen that its head has been chewed to the point that it looks ugly. Of course, the evil insect originally looked like It's just weird and scary, but it doesn't matter if the other end is gone.
"Is this a evil insect?" Lu Pingchuan kicked it gently with his foot.
The round body is much thicker than the water tank. It is a dull khaki color, probably because it died, and is slightly white. The front part of its body is covered with various protrusions, probably like those thick ropes. The long beards shot out from there. The corpse of this evil insect was still very long. Part of it was exposed on the ground, and another part was still left in the soil.
Tang Ping looked at it and felt a little pity. According to the previous calculations of the five of them, even if it was more troublesome, this guy's demon elixir could probably be obtained.
It's all the fault of those three troublemakers!
"Oh, what a pity. Well, Brother Lu, you'd better take it back. At least its skin is still intact and it's a good thing."
"Yeah, okay." Lu Pingchuan said and took out the storage bag.
Qian Chao was inspecting a corpse not far away. The corpse only had one arm. Needless to say, it was naturally the guy using the evil sword.
Yanxuan also saw the corpse, and his body was shaking even more. Tang Ping pinched her arm gently, indicating that she might as well go out, but Yanxuan shook his head, gritted his teeth, and got closer to the person who wielded the evil sword. The corpse looked at it.
"Sister Yan" Qian Chao looked at Yanxuan with concern.
"It's okay. We will continue to travel in the future. We estimate that we will encounter this kind of thing again. It's not good to be always afraid." After saying that, Yanxuan lowered his head and looked at the man. Although he could only see half of his face clearly, the man was dying. The ferocious and fearful expression in front of her also made her feel unbearable, but the man's expression made Yanxuan think more: "A Ping, why does this man's face look so weird? Could it be caused by poisoning?"
"It should be so." Yanxuan's words made Tang Ping look at An Zhen's bluestone-like face, "This is also the first time I've seen him."
Qian Chao tapped An Zhen's body a few times with the branch in his hand and said, "It's so weirdly poisonous. This man's body is now as hard as a stone."
After saying that, Qian Chao took out a storage bag from the man's waist, opened it and looked at it, but smiled, and handed the storage bag over and said: "Don't be sorry, let's take a look inside. .”
There were many things in An Zhen's storage bag, including some demon elixirs for demonic beasts. Tang Ping was happy now.
Qian Chao also found the man's master's jade pendant on the body, took it in his hand, looked at it, and said, "This man's name is An Zhen. Well, he belongs to our Jiu Xuan."
Then Qian Chao searched carefully on the ground and finally found the evil sword.
"What are you going to do with this sword?" Tang Ping asked Qian Chao.
"What else can we do?" Qian Chao looked at the evil sword that had lost its luster, and then realized that several people were looking at the evil sword. "You have also seen that the armor on Brother Lu's body can be easily damaged by this sword." Cut it open, I want to find out what is going on with this sword and why it is so sharp, and then I can work on the armor. Don’t worry, I don’t know how to use this thing, and secondly, I don’t know how to refine it. I don’t want to do it in the future. He met such a miserable end."
"Of course you can figure it out, but there are already dead people here. There are only two endings for this sword. Either you destroy it after you understand it, or you can take it back and give it to your people in the inner hall to deal with."
In Tang Ping's opinion, Qian Chao is definitely a smart person, and his weapon refining skills are even better. Therefore, it should not be difficult for him to figure out this evil sword, but if he is also possessed by the power of this evil sword, Attracting, if Qian Chao's cleverness also goes the wrong way, it will be very bad. Therefore, when saying these words, Tang Ping's face was still very solemn.
"Don't worry, I don't plan to take this thing back. Once we find out, we will destroy it. What I care about is how to prevent it."
Tang Ping nodded after hearing this.
There is another corpse inside, it is Na Yuxian.
But Yu Xi looks much miserable than An Zhen!
The whole person was stuck to the spider web, and what was wrapped around his body was either the long beards of the evil insect or the spider web of the ugly spider. Moreover, his body was pulled hard by the two evil insects. His head was missing, probably. It was because the smell of blood and fruit on his head was strong, and it looked extremely miserable after being eaten by the ugly spider.
But what surprised a few people the most was that only half of the man's left arm was left before he died. Upon closer inspection, the arm was obviously cut off, and there were neat wounds on the arm. It would not be like this if it was torn apart by monster insects.
Yanxuan endured the strong discomfort and looked at the injuries on Yu Xi's body, and said: "This is a sword wound, how could it be..."
If it was a sword wound, the person who did it would probably be An Zhen who came in later to save him. But since he came to save him, why did he cut off his arm with a sword?
At that time, Li Jian almost experienced everything that happened in the spider web through his telepathy. Seeing that everyone was curious about this person's broken arm, he said: "It's amazing to say that this person was trapped by these two monsters." , was seriously injured and poisoned, and was almost certain to die. Even if we managed to rescue him, it would be impossible for us to join forces to deal with us again, but the guy with the evil sword didn't know that he had become like this, and he rushed in. Hmm. ...After the two met, they were both shocked. No one expected that the other would be injured like that. The guy who used the evil sword at that time knew that his companion was no longer good, so he wanted to turn around and run away alone. , but this man was not dead at the time. He was breathing heavily. When he saw someone coming to save him, he would naturally hold on to this life-saving straw and refuse to let go. As a result, one wanted to escape, the other held on tightly, and the two were still there. The demonic insect was torn apart for a while, and finally unable to escape, the guy with the evil sword cut off his companion's arm in desperation. I still remember that he once used the evil sword to cut off the top of the spider web to escape. Is it? That means he cut off his companion's arm and ran away in panic. Unexpectedly, he was captured by the evil insect again. Only then did he attack the evil insect out of desperation, and therefore he was considered helpful. That ugly spider is doing a big favor."
"ah!"
"Oh, sure enough, he was the one who made that ugly spider come true."
No one doubted what Li Jian said, but this statement still shocked several people.
