Tian Xiaoding took advantage of the darkness of night and sneaked into the Insect Valley, intending to rescue Tang Yunzhi who was imprisoned here.
The result was many difficulties, one problem after another.
When he searched the memory of a disciple in the Valley of Souls by using the Soul Capture Technique, and learned that Tang Yunzhi was imprisoned in the underground secret room of the small building where Douchong Taoist lived, he came up with a strategy to divert the tiger away from the mountain and attack the east and the west, and planned to go to Wan The insect-raising place in Chonggu Valley was burned down to lure Douchong Taoist away from the small building, so that he could sneak into the basement of the small building to secretly rescue Tang Yunzhi.
But Xiao Ding never expected that when he arrived outside the wall of the insect breeding land on the other side of the river, he discovered that the wall of this huge courtyard was actually covered with a transparent barrier.
This layer of barrier was obviously placed here by the people from the Ten Thousand Insect Valley. The purpose was naturally to prevent the various poisonous insects raised inside from flying out of the courtyard.
Regarding this kind of enchantment, Xiao Ding knew that the people in Wanchong Valley must have jade tokens similar to keys that can open and close this enchantment. After all, he had seen similar jade tablets when he was in Tianyang Sect.
However, it would be too difficult to open this barrier by stealing the jade token!
Xiao Ding didn't even know who had this kind of jade token that opened the barrier, so how could he steal it?
And he has been out for a while tonight. If he delays too much, he may not have time to rescue Tang Yunzhi. What should we do?
Facing this layer of barrier that could not be beaten or entered, Xiao Ding frowned again.
He paced back and forth outside the courtyard wall, thinking about ways to do it.
Is there any way to open the barrier without using the jade key and enter inside?
Xiao Ding carefully looked at the courtyard and the barrier surrounding the courtyard wall.
Logically speaking, there is no way to enter the barrier without using force to break through the barrier, or using the corresponding jade token to open it.
However, Xiao Ding's eyes immediately fell on the base of the wall. He suddenly thought: The barrier is shrouded around the wall and in the sky, but what about the ground? There shouldn't be any more barriers, right?
If there is no barrier on the ground, can I burrow into the ground and enter the wall?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ding immediately planned to give it a try. If it succeeded, it would save a lot of trouble.
However, Xiao Ding has just practiced the sixth level of qi and has not yet learned the earth escape technique. He can only use the wall penetration technique to drill towards the ground and barely penetrate the ground.
Using the wall penetration technique to burrow into the ground will take a lot of time and effort, but in the end it can achieve the effect of burrowing into the ground.
After Xiao Ding successfully drilled into the ground, he drilled toward the inside of the wall for a certain distance. He estimated that he had reached the inside of the wall, so he changed his direction to drill toward the ground, intending to get out of the ground.
Sure enough, the ground inside the wall was just paved with stone slabs, and there was no boundary.
Although it will take some spiritual energy for Xiao Ding to cross the stone slab, he can still pass through it directly.
Before getting out of the ground, Xiao Ding had already condensed a layer of spiritual energy shield outside his body.
Because he knew that there must be a lot of poisonous insects in this wall.
Although he has been invisible, being invisible does not mean that his body is really gone. Instead, he uses magic to make his body invisible to others.
Therefore, Xiao Ding thought, wouldn't it be very unlucky if he was accidentally bitten by a poisonous insect as soon as he showed his head?
But if you have a spiritual energy shield to protect your body, even if the bugs raised in the courtyard fall on you by mistake, they will be helpless to you.
They are just ordinary poisonous insects, not some special types of insects, and they have not reached the level of monster beasts. Naturally, they cannot break through the aura defense shield.
After Xiaoding got out of the ground, he saw that there were many insect breeding houses built in this huge courtyard. These insect houses are different from ordinary houses where humans live, and are much simpler than houses where humans live.
An insect house is a nest-like insect nest built for various insects. It can provide shelter from wind and rain and store food for the insects. Some are wooden sheds to store bottles and cans, some are boxes and boxes made of wood to serve as insect nests, and some are small caves built with masonry and mud to serve as insect nests.
Most bug nests, bottles and jars have lids on them. In other words, these bugs are not free-range.
The bottles and jars used for breeding insects are all neatly placed in a wooden shed with only three walls.
There are a lot of these wooden sheds in the yard, and some even have many wooden shelves inside, with various bottles and cans placed on them.
Of course, many of those insect nests made of wood or bricks and mud also have no roof.
Because there is a barrier covering the courtyard, there is no need to worry about wind and rain.
In the yard, in addition to these insect houses, a variety of plants are cultivated in the open space, including some precious medicinal materials.
These plants are basically planted in flower beds made of stones and do not appear cluttered.
Obviously, most of these flowers and plants are used to raise insects. After all, many types of bugs feed on plants. Of course, there are also some carnivorous bugs, and their food is naturally other bugs.
After looking around, Xiao Ding found that most of the various poisonous insects in this insect breeding place were locked in bottles and jars, or in wooden boxes or cave insect nests. These insects could Very few are drilled out.
However, there are also many common insects among the grass plants. Xiao Ding guessed that these might be wild, caught and used to feed other flesh-eating poisonous insects.
Although this courtyard is not small, the only combustible materials inside are the wooden sheds with various jars. There are quite a few wooden sheds like this, and if they were ignited, they would form a sea of flames.
Therefore, Xiao Ding did not hesitate. He immediately used the fire control technique and fired the fireballs at the wooden sheds.
Because there was a barrier in the courtyard, there was no wind, so in order to make the fire burn more vigorously, Xiao Ding took out some vegetable oil from the space and poured it on the flames.
At this moment, the wooden sheds were immediately enveloped in flames and began to rise. In an instant, they were blazing into the sky.
Seeing that the fire was already raging, Xiao Ding knew that the people from Wanchong Valley would come soon, so it was better for him to leave as soon as possible.
So he still used the wall penetration technique, drilling into the ground, and then out of the wall from the ground.
As soon as he emerged from the ground outside the wall, he immediately heard someone shouting on the other side of the river:
"No, there's a fire on the other side of the river!"
"The insect breeding ground is on fire, go and put out the fire!"
"It's on fire, it's on fire! Get up quickly and put out the fire!"
Since the residential area across the river has been discovered to be on fire. Xiao Ding did not dare to linger here any longer.
He quickly ran towards the residential area on the other side of the river. Then he quietly hid in a dark place outside the residential area and waited motionless.
He wanted to wait for the owner of the valley, Taoist Douchong, to leave the small building, and then he could take the opportunity to save Tang Yunzhi.
The disciples of Wan Insect Valley heard that there was a fire in the insect breeding ground on the other side of the river. They did not dare to neglect. They all got up and dressed, ran out, crossed the river directly, and ran towards the courtyard.
However, they did not have the jade token to open the barrier, so they could not enter the courtyard. They just stood outside the courtyard door and worried.
Xiao Ding hid in the dark, quietly observing the situation outside the courtyard on this side of the river. He even heard someone shouting, "Go and report to the leader quickly."
It didn't take long for a dozen old Taoists, whose clothes and temperaments were different from those of the other Wanchong Valley disciples, to arrive outside the compound.
The leader, a short, skinny old man, took out an object from his arms and shook it at the barrier at the courtyard gate, and then the barrier at the courtyard gate automatically opened a hole.
Then, the disciples outside the courtyard poured into the courtyard one after another.
Soon, they all came pouring out again.
The fire in the courtyard was so big that it burned some people.
Everyone went to find buckets, basins, etc., fetch water from the river, and then poured it into the courtyard.
Xiao Ding learned from the memory of the man who searched for souls before that the skinny and short old Taoist just now was the leader of Ten Thousand Insect Valley, Taoist Douchong.
Now that Taoist Douchong has left the small building. Of course Xiao Ding will not miss this opportunity.
So, he immediately and quietly moved towards the inside of the living area.
In the residential area, there was no longer the previous overwhelming sound. Most of the disciples from Wanchong Valley have already gone to put out the fire. Only a few disciples woke up relatively late because they slept too deeply before. They were either getting dressed at the moment, or they had already got dressed and were walking towards the river.
Every time Xiao Ding met people like them on the road, he would quietly hide away. Fortunately, he has been using the invisibility technique. As long as the other party does not activate spiritual detection, he will not be able to see him.
After hiding and hiding along the way, Xiao Ding finally came to the majestic small building in the middle of the residential area.
Compared with other houses in the residential area, this small building stands out. If we were to use modern language to describe this small building, it would be: This is a large, finely decorated and ultra-luxurious villa that stands among ordinary residential buildings.
Perhaps Taoist Douchong was in a hurry when he left, so the door on the first floor of the small building was not tightly closed or locked.
Xiao Ding pushed lightly and the door opened. He quickly entered the small building and then closed the door.
The room you just entered is not small and looks more like a hall. At the top position inside, there is a large seat. The back of the chair is covered with colorful silk embroidered with strange insect patterns.
In front of the seat is a long table with some things piled messily on it.
Xiao Ding guessed that this seemed to be the place where Taoist Douchong worked daily.
On both sides of the hall, there are also two rows of seats and coffee tables. It seems that the owner and elders of Ten Thousand Insect Valley may often discuss things here.
Xiao Ding only knew that Tang Yunzhi was locked in the underground secret room of this small building, but he did not know where the entrance to the underground secret room was.
So, he appeared, activated his consciousness, and began to explore the hall on the first floor.
Soon, he discovered that there was another bedroom behind the hall, and in the middle of the floor of the bedroom was an entrance to the underground.
So, Xiao Ding immediately walked towards the bedroom at the back.
After entering the bedroom, he immediately went to the middle of the ground, took out the Tianyang Sword, and pried open the floor. An entrance to the underground appeared in front of Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding walked along the steps towards the ground with his sword in hand.
There was an oil lamp on in the basement, and the light was a little weak.
After walking underground, Xiao Ding saw that the basement was divided into two parts, separated by an iron fence.
In this part outside, there are seats, beds, tables and other daily necessities.
There was nothing inside the iron fence, only a few iron chains hanging on the wall. And what's locked at the other end of the chain is none other than Tang Yunzhi, who Xiao Ding is looking for.
At this moment, Tang Yunzhi fell on the cold ground and shrank into a ball. After hearing the sound of Xiao Ding coming in, she forced herself to raise her head and looked outside through the messy hair on her face.
After seeing Xiao Ding, she was indifferent.
Xiao Ding saw Tang Yunzhi's haggard face behind her messy hair, and quickly came to the iron fence and whispered: "Yunzhi, I'm here to save you!"
After saying that, Xiao Ding raised the Tianyang Sword in his hand, pointed it at the iron rope at the small gate on the fence, and slashed hard.
This Tianyang Sword was once forged by Xiao Ding, and now it is also a magic weapon-level sword. It can cut ordinary steel with ease.
Tang Yunzhi heard what Xiao Ding said and saw Xiao Ding cutting down the iron rope, but she did not show any joy. Instead, she said indifferently: "Senior Brother Sixteen, are you here to take advantage of others' danger?"
