The further south you go, the denser the surrounding vegetation becomes. They even cover the ground beneath your feet, forcing you to slow down your pace before you can pass.
"What the hell is this place? Why is it more difficult than the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes?" Lu Chun swore as he cut the vines under his feet with a knife, "My dear black pig brother, are you really sure that the real murderer is here?" Are you coming here?"
When Wu Yun heard this, he just put on an expression of disbelief, then simply narrowed his eyes and snored. Lu Chun looked helpless and could only continue to open the way in the direction that Wu Yun had previously directed...
The wood spirit here was extremely strong, and this natural attribute restraint made him feel extremely depressed. But fortunately, what he now possesses is the energy of heaven and earth instead of the energy in his body, so he doesn't feel weak at all physically!
Feeling this situation, Lu Chun was surprised and happy. He originally thought that he already knew a lot about Zhengqi, but he didn't expect that there would be new discoveries every day!
Thinking of this, Lu Chun couldn't help but secretly ponder: Since the techniques used to control Zhengqi are not restrained by natural attributes, doesn't it mean that he can use a certain method to integrate the techniques with multiple attributes into one? If so, wouldn't he be able to reach the same height as Ancestor Mingyuan?
The more Lu Chun thought about it, the more excited he became, and in the end he even couldn't help but chuckle.
"Who is making noise here? This is the Wutu Cave! Stay away from the rest of the crowd!" Just when Lu Chun was getting carried away, a cold shout woke him up from his sweet dream.
"Brother, did you hear wrongly? There is obviously no one here." Two Wutuku disciples suddenly appeared at the place where Lu Chun had just been standing. The man behind him took a look at the surrounding situation and then asked doubtfully.
"Impossible..." The senior brother in front frowned and pointed at the footprints on the ground, "How could there be any footprints left if no one was there?"
"Really?" Another disciple came forward to take a look, and then asked tentatively: "Senior brother, could it be that you are too worried... You see, the direction of the footprints happens to lead to the gate of Wutu Cave, maybe it is the communication Let the Lord keep it!"
"It is indeed possible..." The senior brother suddenly paused as he spoke, then suddenly raised his head to look at the tree above his head, but still found nothing, "I'm a little suspicious, let's go back..."
The two simply cleaned up the footprints here, then turned and headed back towards the gate of Wutu Cave.
But what they didn't notice was that at the moment when the senior brother looked up, a black shadow fell lightly from behind them, and had already escaped into the gate of Wutu Cave before them.
"These two little guys are very alert. I was almost discovered by them..." In fact, even if he is discovered, it is not a big deal, but now Lu Chun just wants to follow up with the real culprit who wanted to frame him and ask the truth. He doesn't want to Extraneous branches.
"I didn't expect Wutu Cave to be in this place..." Lu Chun looked around and couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue. He thought that if these two disciples hadn't appeared to "lead the way" for him, he really wouldn't have been able to notice it for a while.
But he didn't want to delay at this time, so he took advantage of the fact that there were few people on the road and escaped into the shadows.
…
"Tan Cai."
"What's wrong, brother?"
"Why is Wutu Cave so quiet today?" Lu Tong and Tan Cai were walking on the road, exchanging words.
"Back to brother, it's not just today, it's been like this in Wutu Cave recently!" Tan Cai quickly replied after hearing this, "I don't know the specific reason. I only know that someone came to Wutu Cave some time ago to ask for help..."
Because most people have some shady activities, and the troubles left after that are difficult to solve with superficial methods, people often come to Wutuku for help. Lu Tong had long been accustomed to these things, so he didn't take it to heart. He just nodded slightly to show that he understood.
The two of them walked down the steep slope, passed through a patch of grass, and finally came to a secret room.
Hearing someone approaching, several disciples guarding the secret room immediately became alert. However, when they saw that the person coming was Tan Cai, they put away their alert and bowed to salute.
"Senior Brother Tan Cai!" "Senior Brother, you are here!"
Tan Cai nodded slightly and waved to a few people, and they turned their backs knowingly. They did not turn around again until they entered the secret room.
The secret room here is extremely humid. Although there are lights on the surrounding walls, it cannot dispel the depressing atmosphere that envelopes it. Especially as they moved forward, the fishy smell began to become stronger, choking Lu Tong and unable to open his eyes.
"Brother, this is for you..."
When Lu Tong heard this, he turned around and saw Tan Cai holding a handkerchief in his hand. He took it and covered his mouth and nose. When his breathing became easier, he stretched out his hand to Tan Cai: "Bring the things and wait for me outside the door."
Tan Cai did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly took out a package from his arms and handed it out respectfully. Lu Tong took the package and entered the space in front of him.
"Let me out! I won't dare anymore..."
"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
"Despicable villain! You will be punished!"
The moment the iron door opened, a hoarse roar suddenly came from inside. Although the noise was immediately cut off by the iron gate, every time he heard these sounds, Tan Cai would always feel numb and frightened, and even have nightmares.
"I haven't seen you for so many days, but your energy is still so high, hahahaha..." Lu Tong, who was among them, had a look of disgust on his face. He covered his mouth and nose and laughed at the situation in front of him.
Behind this iron door is a space no smaller than the outside. At this moment, there are rows of square iron cages placed here. In these iron cages, there are strange monsters that can be described as "human".
Although they have different shapes, their eyes are all the same blood red, and they are looking at the incoming person fiercely.
"Kill! Kill you! Go to hell... ow..."
The roars along the way were still roaring, but Lu Tong didn't pay attention at all. Instead, he continued to walk forward boldly and came to an iron cage in the deepest part.
"Senior brother, I have been thinking about you a lot during this time. How are you doing recently?" Lu Tong said softly to the figure in the cage with his back to him.
The figure inside just stiffened slightly when he heard this, but had no intention of replying.
"Sigh... It seems that senior brother is still blaming me. Since senior brother doesn't want to pay attention to me, I can only resign first..." After saying that, Lu Tong sighed and turned to leave.
"I...I don't blame you...You come back, I have something to say to you..." Hearing the footsteps behind him fading away, the figure in the cage finally couldn't stand it anymore and turned around slowly.
"Oh? I wonder what senior brother wants to say to me?" Lu Tong said with a smile and stood back in front of the cage.
"I want to say...go to hell! You bastard!" The figure in the cage flashed in his eyes, and five sharp claws dug directly into Lu Tong's chest.
"Bang!"
The man's strength was so great that his whole body hit the iron railing, and he desperately stretched his fingers forward. His fingertips were only an inch away from Lu Tong in front of him, but the mere inch distance made it impossible for him to overcome it!
Lu Tong didn't hide or evade, he just stood there and looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Wu Li, I thought you would wake up, you really... let me down so much!"
"Damn it! You beast! I curse you to be struck by lightning and die!"
Ever since Wu Li and the others offended him that day, Lu Tong had always held a grudge. In front of the Witch King, Lu Tong pretended to settle the differences with everyone, but secretly he had his own plan. He really wanted to put these guys who had offended him to death, but he didn't want them to die so happily.
The fact that Lu Chun became an elder in the Yuhu Sect has always made him angry, but the tragic death of the men he sent made him know that Lu Chun is no longer so easy to deal with! So he had an idea for "Blood Gu Pill"!
As long as I can refine this blood poison pill and greatly increase my skill, who can compete with me?
But thinking about it, making it is a different matter, because this blood poison elixir is extremely toxic. Once it fails, it will become a very powerful poison, causing the user to lose their mind and lose touch with human nature!
So Lu Tong supported Tan Cai, who was very grateful to him, and took advantage of the latter's position to create a new space behind the secret prison here. Then, he designed to imprison those who had offended him in this prison one after another...
After the preparations were completed, he would take the blood essence of these people - "vital blood" as the material of the blood poison pill, and at the same time force these people to take the prepared blood poison pill, and let them help him test the pill.
At first, Lu Tong was unable to determine the ratio of Gu worms to living blood. Instead of making people stronger, the elixir he prepared caused huge mutations in their bodies, and some even died suddenly on the spot.
Fortunately, he cooked it once and cooked twice, and tried to reduce the proportion of voodoo insects in the blood voodoo pill formula, so there were no more deaths...
Lu Tong's pleasant expression just now was just an act. When Wu Li's curses became more harsh, his true nature was finally exposed and he swung his knife forward: "Brother Wu Li, as a disciple of Wu Tu Ku, you must remember to maintain good personal hygiene. Your nails are too long, let me trim them for you..."
Along with a scream, four more fingers appeared on the ground. The owner of these fingers could no longer bear the burden and fell to the ground dying.
"Brother! Please let me go... I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again..." Seeing Wu Li's miserable condition, a trembling cry for mercy suddenly came from the cage closest to him.
"Lu Tong! We swear that as long as you let us out, we will never tell the Witch King about this..." Then someone else begged.
"Go out? Haha...I will naturally agree to your request..." Lu Tong smiled when he heard this and opened the package in his hand.
"But since you want to go out, you have to show some sincerity, right?"
