It was still midnight, and without the sunlight of the day, the originally beautiful small valley was completely dark. With the light of a few stars, as far as the eye could see, there was only darkness.
These people who have been chasing along the ruins opened by Luo Ying Qianchao and others do not know that at this time yesterday, there was an illusion of a bustling manor with bright lights and people. Of course, if If they knew, they would definitely be more cautious here so as not to step into a trap later.
However, the manor was no longer there, but after they got closer to the ruins that had been opened by Qian Tide during the day, they still discovered something strange.
"They're right in front!"
Someone hurriedly flew back in the darkness. After getting closer, he whispered and said something urgently to a leader-like figure. That was the person who flew at the front and was responsible for inquiring about the news.
When they heard someone in front of them, these people immediately became excited, and many people began to whisper. The leader's majestic voice immediately suppressed everyone.
"Silence! Why are you so unruly? What should I do if I scare them away?"
Then the leader asked again:
"Have you seen clearly how many people there are and who they are?"
"There are always eight or nine people, and Luo Ying's people are among them. They seem to be about to open the ruins."
"Oh?" The majestic voice was silent for a moment, and then said excitedly, "It seems that we have caught up, but why are there more people? How can Luo Ying share such an important thing with others?"
"Senior Brother Chu, don't worry about them. We have more people here. Let's just capture them all together and force them to open the ruins..."
"Yes, so many ruins in front have been opened. Maybe those people have that thing on their bodies. The opportunity is rare..."
"Shut up!" The man called Senior Brother Chu shouted in a low voice, but everyone was like this, so it was not easy to stop this man, and he himself was impatient, so he added, "Forget it, let's go quietly, don't Make some noise."
"yes!"
In fact, when these people approach quietly, they should pay careful attention to why there is a circular land of fine sand where they pass by, but the person they are looking for is right in front, and the thing they are looking for is also close in front of them. , so even if I saw it, I didn’t think much about it.
Sure enough, after quietly approaching, those people found figures walking back and forth at the foot of the two peaks. Counting them, there were exactly ten people, no more, no less.
It's just that they didn't know that there was actually no one there. The ten people they saw were all the demons who had apparated.
…
Without the large and lively manor that the mirage transformed into, and without the green moth that filled the manor with convincing smoke and smoke, the Earth Dire could only rely on itself.
As mentioned before, during the day Qian Chao and his group of ten people got rid of the green moths and mirages, and then activated the formation, all of which were "seen" clearly by the Dima. And Tang Ping also said that the earth monster underground must have become a climate and difficult to deal with, so he left it alone. The ten people just took the treasures in the ruins and left.
And this earth nightmare is indeed as Tang Ping said, it has long been a climate. Qian Chao's removal of green moths and mirages is nothing to it. After all, monks have killed monsters long ago in its long life. I don’t know how many times I have seen it, but those monks opened a strange place in its territory, which was the first time for this earth monster to see it. Then, after those people left during the day, these people hurriedly chased after them in the middle of the night, and the first one even sneakily checked the place that those people had opened during the day. Even if the earth monster was a monster, I roughly understand that if these people are not coming for those people during the day, they are coming for the place opened by those people during the day.
That would be easy.
…
In the eyes of those people, just under the two mountain peaks, among the rocks and grass, ten figures were looking around.
And the leader, the guy called Senior Brother Chu, recognized a graceful back among those figures at a glance, that was Luo Ying.
It can only be said that this earth nightmare's methods are superb, and there is no trace of the transformation technique at all. These people can't notice anything strange at this night.
Senior Brother Chu quietly issued a strict order not to allow anyone to act rashly. He only waited for Luo Ying and the others to open the ruins before taking action.
The Earth Nightmare was also very cooperative. It still remembered how a thin guy opened that strange place during the day, so after the transformation, he replayed the scene in the daytime to show Senior Brother Chu and others.
I saw a thin male disciple of the Five Spirits in a green robe, with a focused look on his face. His hands were shining with white light and he was fiddling with a spot on the ground for a while. Then there was a heavy "rolling" sound from the stone wall, and then sure enough A secret door appeared in an inconspicuous part of the stone wall. The door was also dark. Then the thin Five Spirits disciple waved his hands and used it to pull out a few luminous things and float them all the way in. The first person to go in was a A female disciple who looks like a girl, and then Luo Ying and others will follow.
"Senior Brother Chu..."
Someone next to me asked anxiously and eagerly in a low voice.
"superior!"
Senior Brother Chu finally made up his mind. He came out this time to snatch the Mozun Jade Fat Lamp that can help people build foundations from Luo Ying. Moreover, Luo Ying has opened multiple ruins in succession. Now the ruins in front of him have been opened. Opportunities are hard to find, so you have to give it a try and grab one!
"Come on!" Someone in the night shouted impatiently!
When watching everyone rushing over, Senior Brother Chu was still thinking, who is the thin Five Spirits disciple? Could it be that Luo Ying asked for help? I haven't heard of any disciples in the sect who are still better than Luo Ying in formation skills?
It cannot be said that there is no such thing. Recently, I heard that a boy named Qian seems to be in the limelight. It seems that he also has some skills in formations...
When thinking of this, Senior Brother Chu suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why was it that everyone here was already shouting and rushing over, but Luo Ying and the others still walked into the ruins unhurriedly?
Are they all deaf and didn't hear what was going on here?
Or……
wrong!
Something weird!
"Be careful..."
Senior Brother Chu only shouted two words, and then he heard an extremely dull roar in front of him that seemed to come from deep underground, followed by a "boom", and in the dark night, the scattered rocks were visible through the stars. The weeds were suddenly lifted up by something huge underground. Amidst the flying earth and rocks, there were first screams, and then the screams were heard one after another!
"Let's go!"
Senior Brother Chu was shocked. The last time Gong suffered a defeat was due to a sneak attack by Luo Ying and his men. He didn't expect Luo Ying to be so powerful now. There was actually an ambush here.
"Escape quickly..."
The screams are still continuing. These people are all Qi Refining monks in the sect who have been unable to build a foundation for many years. Now the opportunity to build a foundation is right in front of them. Before this change happened, everyone was really scrambling for the first place, lest they fall behind others and end up underground. When the monster protruded to bite people, almost everyone in front was attacked by the poisonous hands. Countless tentacles rolled back and forth in the darkness, making a whistling sound. Many people were entangled and sent to the ground. In the mouth of the nightmare, some people woke up and tried their best to turn around and escape. Before they could get far, they were caught in the waist and ended up being fed by the nightmare.
"be cheated!"
"It's the earth...the earth nightmare..."
Someone recognized what the attacking monster was, but it was too late after all.
I'm afraid Tang Ping also didn't expect that she left the hellbender without getting rid of it because it was too troublesome, and she unintentionally dug a big hole for those who were following her to jump into.
…
As for Qian Chao and the others, since they found three jade lamps from the ruins that day, they have opened several more ruins for several days in a row. It cannot be said that there is no gain. In one ruins, they finally found Another lamp was found. In this way, Luo Ying and the others now have four lamps. As long as they find one more lamp, then this cooperation will be considered complete. Luo Ying will follow the agreement with Qian Chao. Keep the information about all the ruins you know.
Originally, they should have met the people led by Senior Brother Chu a long time ago, but that night, Senior Brother Chu and others were unlucky. They were ambushed by Dima and lost nearly 30% of their manpower. Suddenly, they became less courageous. They became more cautious, and the speed naturally slowed down, so Qian Chao and others were able to find and open the ruins without any trouble these days.
Luo Ying's mood is getting better and better. She feels that this cooperation with Qian Chao is worth it, and after this cooperation, she has a lot more trust in Qian Chao.
It was now after noon and approaching dusk. Under Luo Ying's guidance, a group of ten of them found another ruins. This was the fourteenth ruins they found this time. It was not possible to open it directly. Yes, there were some ferocious monsters building their nests outside, so ten people took action and got rid of all the monsters. Yanxuan's sharp eyes also found a few spiritual grasses near the monster's nest, and he started picking them. stand up.
"Well, I hope we can find another light here, so that our coming out this time will be successful." Lu Shuang said with hope.
Then she smelled a smell of blood, and when she turned around, she realized that it was Lu Pingchuan who was cutting open the head of a demon beast with a knife, looking for the demon pill.
They have become accustomed to this scene in the past few days, and generally understand the distribution method after Qian Chao and others go out and have a harvest. The demon pills and other things belong to Tang Ping, and the spiritual herbs and other things belong to Yanxuan. , the remaining one who can refine weapons belongs entirely to Qian Chao, and the remaining spiritual stones and other items are divided equally among the five people. In addition, Lu Shuang also heard that Qian Chao cooperated with a boy named Bu in Ruixuan Town, and it seems that Qian Chao's spiritual weapons The spiritual stones obtained from the sale were also divided equally among the five people, so the elixir refined by Yanxuan's girl was probably for the five people's own use. No wonder these five people were in need of everything and no longer went to the Jingshiyuan to receive orders.
Qian Chao had already found a way to open the formation, the secret stone door opened, and then ten people walked in.
"This is probably a big family, right?" Yanxuan said as he walked in and looked at the scene inside.
"should be."
There are really a lot of things, arranged densely.
"There are two more formations here," Qian Chao said, pointing to a stone wall where everyone walked in. "There is one here, which should be used to close the outside entrance from the inside."
Then he pointed to the deepest part of the stone chamber and said:
"There is another place there, which may be used by the family to escape. If they cannot resist the attack of foreign enemies, the family should hide here in times of crisis, and then use the innermost formation to open a hidden secret passage to escape. .”
In order to prove his words, Qian Chao went to the deepest part of the stone chamber and found a simple map carved on the stone wall, which roughly marked the direction of the secret passage.
"It's really for escape."
"Boy Qian, according to your statement, if this place was a big family, then the chance of finding the lamp would be slim." Luo Ying said.
"That's not possible."
As Tang Ping spoke, she walked over holding an inconspicuous wooden box, placed the box on a table, and said:
"A big family will also use this thing, but it's just not a good thing. Hey, open it and take a look. You found it in an inconspicuous corner."
The wooden box was very ordinary, and there was no special arrangement to prevent others from stealing or robbing it. After opening it, I found that it had two floors, and the cells were basically empty, except for the remaining two cells on the bottom floor. A lamp.
It is the Mozun Jade Fat Lamp, but its shape is different from the ones found before.
"Wow, it really does happen!" Everyone became happy.
I had already found four before, and now I have found two more, for a total of six mozun jade-fat lamps.
Luo Ying exchanged glances with her companions, then took one out and said:
"Boy Qian, as agreed, we only need five lamps, which is enough now. The remaining one is yours. Keep it and don't use it randomly. You can use it when you find four more lamps to build the foundation in the future. On."
Tang Ping's eyebrows relaxed after hearing this, and she secretly thought that Luo Ying was not greedy.
"This..." Qian Chao hesitated, "What if your five lights are not enough?"
"Nonsense, the Foundation Establishment Pill plus the Moisture Jade Fat Lamp, if we can't build the Foundation anymore, then we just don't practice anymore... These two things together, as long as it is a high-level Qi Refining monk who is close to the Foundation Establishment, no matter what No matter how bad your spiritual roots are, you must be able to build a foundation."
"Okay, thank you for your kindness." Tang Ping didn't care so much. She gently pushed Qian Chao and put away the box and the lamps inside.
At this moment, Li Jian suddenly said:
"There are... quite a few people outside, and they are surrounding us here."
"What!" Luo Ying's eyes were cold, and she didn't expect those guys to follow them again. "How many people are there?"
"There are always...more than a hundred people."
"Really that much?"
"It can't be wrong."
These days, Luo Ying and others were first amazed and then convinced by Li Jian's reaction. Now that they heard what he said, they must have been chased by those guys chasing the opened ruins all the way here. The five jade lamps were As soon as they got it together, they were surrounded. How could Luo Ying and others be willing to give up? Coldness flashed in their eyes, and they were about to go out and fight.
"Boy Qian, Girl Tang, let's go out and lure them away first. They must be coming for us. You can find an opportunity before leaving." After saying this, Luo Ying and others walked towards the exit of the stone room with murderous intent.
"No," Qian Chao hurriedly stopped them, "There's no need to fight with them. Let's escape through a secret passage."
"Secret passage?"
…
Surrounded outside was none other than Senior Brother Chu who was ambushed by the Dire Nightmare that night. After suffering a big loss, although he lost a lot of men, it made him believe that Luo Ying could move like this this time. Bu Guan's plan is definitely looking for the Mozun Jade Fat Lamp, so even if he suffers some setbacks, he must continue to follow, otherwise the foundation building will be hopeless.
Therefore, the remaining people followed him all the way down. Seeing that each of the ruins they found was opened and empty inside, Senior Brother Chu became more and more impatient.
Finally, the people they were scouting in front saw Luo Ying again from a distance. There were still ten people fighting monsters first and then opening the ruins. But could this still be a terrible trap?
Senior Brother Chu and his men only dared to stare from a distance at first. After being taught a lesson, they became really timid. Now no one dared to rush forward without making any noise.
But when they got a little closer, Li Jian noticed them.
After a while, just when they didn't know what to do, they discovered that the originally open stone door had closed again with a heavy sound, leaving no trace on the stone wall.
This is actually a wonderful thing about the formation. Don’t look at the location of the stone gate to enter the ruins, but give them each a pickaxe and let them dig. Even if they hollow out the mountain, they will all find it. There is no way to enter the treasure house. If you want to get the treasure inside, you can only break the formation. But to break the formation, among the more than a hundred people led by Senior Brother Chu, including him, not one of them could do it.
"They...why did they lock themselves in there?" One of the subordinates asked in confusion.
"Hmph! They must have discovered us, and they are worried about us rushing in."
"What should we do?"
"What else can we do? If we just wait, I don't believe they will never come out again!"
Then they waited here for a whole day. During this time, there was no change at all in the ruins.
Senior Brother Chu only stared at this place and did not notice that five people were quietly approaching from a distance. After taking a closer look at their situation, they quietly slipped away.
"No," after waiting for another day, Senior Brother Chu finally understood, "If there is some secret backdoor or something like that, we would have waited in vain!"
"What!"
"Can such a thing happen?"
"It's very possible. Otherwise, why hasn't there been any movement for so long? Maybe those people have escaped long ago!"
"That... piece, let's send people around to look for it."
…
Of course Qian Chao and others left, passing through a dark and deep secret passage. After walking for less than two hours, they came out of the secret passage. Then the two groups separated. Luo Ying and the other five people were satisfied and returned. sect, and Qian Chao is going to Ruixuan Town because he has an appointment with Mr. Zhuang from Yiming Hall in Ruixuan Town.
"Boy Qian," Luo Ying quietly called Qian Chao when they broke up, "If you find a lot of Mozun jade lamps in the future, and if Ma Hu's foundation building is not going well, you might as well..."
Luo Ying did not continue speaking, but blinked at Qian Chao.
Qian Chao, on the other hand, had a strange look on his face, but he was wondering in his heart whether this Senior Sister Luo was also Ma Hu's accomplice?
As for Senior Brother Chu, I don't know how long he stayed here. Later, someone from the sect finally sent news that Luo Ying had returned to the sect, and then he and his men withdrew in despair.
