Previously, a monk from the Zhou family was bitten and was killed randomly. If Yu Hua hadn't knocked him out in time, they would have had no choice but to kill his companion. With the lessons learned from the past, they realized how terrifying these fire bats were. Once they gather into a group, they either have to avoid being bitten by the other party, or once a few people are bitten, their whole team will have to deal with it here.
"Spiritual net, use the spiritual net quickly!"
Yu Hua screamed, "Pfft," a spiritual net was thrown forward, trapping all the fire bats on the opposite side. However, the spiritual net had been used many times, and several of it had been bitten by the sharp teeth of the fire bats. The small gap was covered with teeth marks. At this time, under the desperate counterattack of dozens of fire bats, a larger hole was immediately chewed. At this time, the spiritual swords of the monks attacked one after another and killed several fire bats, but more rushed out of the hole.
And dozens more rushed out from the grotto in the distance. At this time, they had no more spiritual nets available.
"Why are there so many of these beasts? Get out quickly!" After Yu Hua killed one of them with a single blow, his expression changed drastically and he yelled to retreat.
The group of people fought and retreated. It was not fun for more than twenty fire bats of varying strength to rush forward. As long as two or three people were bitten and delayed, the entire team would be shaken.
After escaping for a while, everyone's expressions changed, including Lu Xiaotian. Naturally, the ones who changed the expressions of Yu Hua, Zhao Yuanjun and others were the Fire Bats who were pursuing them. Although the fire bat was powerful, it was not taken seriously by Lu Xiaotian. What really frightened Lu Xiaotian was that he had lost his direction. When he entered the grotto, out of caution, he made a few small marks on the stone walls he passed along the way, but The grottoes under the Diyan Mountain are connected to each other like a maze, and he can release a lot of spiritual consciousness outside. Since he went deep into the grotto, it has been greatly restricted. This grotto is really weird.
"Liu, Senior Brother Liu and Junior Brother Dou are gone, what should I do?" After everyone finally got rid of the fire bat, a short male monk said to Yu Hua in panic, they escaped too fast just now, and in addition to the situation in the grotto, There are many side roads, and it is very possible to fall behind even if you are not careful.
"What can we do, of course we go back to find them!" Yu Hua said angrily, and in a blink of an eye he glanced around among Lu Xiaotian and others, and his best eyes fell on the fat monk and Ding Shou, "You two , explore the way ahead."
The fat monk and Ding Shou smiled bitterly, not daring to object, and walked cautiously in front.
Although they were walking back, they did not go back to the previous path. From time to time, there were sounds of fighting and screams in the grotto. Obviously, they are not the only group of monks who have flown here. When Yu Hua led Lu Xiaotian and the others to find what they called Senior Brother Liu and Junior Brother Dou, the two of them had completely fallen into madness, with dozens of fire bat bite marks on their faces and necks.
In the madness, Junior Brother Dou was decapitated by Senior Brother Liu, and at this time, dozens of flaming wolves were rushing towards him from further away. The fat monk screamed strangely and Ding Shou was so frightened that they backed away. With their strength, they were still able to deal with one of the flame wolves, but there were more than a dozen on the opposite side, and there was also a monk named Liu who had fallen into madness. Going forward is tantamount to courting death.
Facing the dozens of flaming wolves that rushed over, as well as the already crazy monk named Liu, Yu Hua ordered with a livid face, "Kill without mercy!"
The monk surnamed Liu had a good personal relationship with him, but when it came to his own life, Yu Hua quickly made a choice.
With the combination of swords and axes, although the monk surnamed Liu was crazy and fearless, he was attacked by three monks at the same time. In an instant, he was cut into two pieces by Ding Shou with his sword. The upper half screamed and remained stubborn. Ling, holding the spirit knife in his hand, wanted to continue to rush forward, but his neck was bitten off by a flaming wolf that rushed up from behind.
The space in the grotto is large in some places and small in other places. The height in front of you is only about one person. Lu Xiaotian's puppet cannot be used at all due to its large size. Everyone is very critical at this time, not to mention Lu Xiaotian, a third-level puppet master. So everyone retreated one after another, and arrived at a relatively open place, several feet high. Lu Xiaotian was not polite, sacrificed a giant elephant puppet, and sat on it. A war elephant trampled on it, causing the small stones on the grotto to fall down. The weak Yanlang immediately lost the ability to move.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, now is not the time to hide your strength. Since you have two third-level puppets, why did you only take out one?" Yu Hua saw that his fellow disciples were rare, so he rushed forward and killed one, and then looked at it with dissatisfaction. He glanced at the aloof Lu Xiaotian.
"Controlling two third-level puppets at the same time consumes too much spiritual consciousness. If you feel that I don't need to take action again within a few hours after this battle, I can release them at the same time." Lu Xiaotian replied calmly.
"If that's the case, let's give it up." Yu Hua was speechless for a moment. Compared with their need to recover mana, the third-level pinnacle machine puppets had their full advantage at this time. As long as they had the spiritual stone to support them, they would not feel tired. Moreover, this giant elephant puppet is made of cold iron wood that is hundreds of years old. It is heavy and solid and not easily damaged at all. It can be used as a solid human shield in front of them, giving them opportunities to attack.
Zhao Li's eyes flashed and he followed her grandfather. Compared to Yu Hua, they were naturally closer to Lu Xiaotian. Until now, Lu Xiaotian had never pointed out that she had a puppet. He was obviously on the same line with them. As for the Zhou family this time, I still don’t know what happened next. The thick and strong trunk of the giant elephant puppet wrapped around a flame wolf. Zhao Li lost no time in rushing forward and cutting off the head of the flame wolf. The two sides worked together to complement each other.
After a hard fight, both Ding Shou and the fat monk were slightly injured. On the contrary, Taoist Xu, who was the weakest, was extremely cunning. He huddled behind several times, but when he saw the opportunity to strike, he rushed out very quickly. In the end, he was unscathed. , an hour later, a dozen Flame Wolves were finally eliminated.
"No, there are a lot of monsters in this grotto, and they appear irregularly. We will be exhausted if we continue like this. We must find a safe place to rest." Taoist Xu gasped.
"There is no truly safe place in this grotto." Zhao Li rolled his eyes. She had long been disgusted with the cunning Taoist Xu.
"Stop arguing. Although there are many monsters and beasts, there are also many monks who have entered the grotto. If you keep killing them, they will all be killed at some point!" Yu Hua stopped the meaningless quarrel and led everyone to continue searching.
The group of people fought and left. After half a month, in addition to harvesting a lot of materials from monster beasts, they also found a lot of fire-attribute spiritual herbs and some ores, which gave the almost exhausted people some peace of mind. comfort.
"Fire Spirit Stones, so many Fire Spirit Stones!" A few days later, Ding Shou, who was walking in front, suddenly felt a strong and almost substantial fire spirit energy coming towards his face. He saw sparkling rocks in front of him, large and small. The fire spirit stone almost dazzles people's eyes.
"Fire Spirit Stone Mine!" Following Yu Hua, Zhao Yuanjun, Lu Xiaotian and others also rushed forward. When they saw the Spirit Stones exposed on the ground and on the wall of the grotto, they suddenly looked obsessed. They were all in the Qi Refining Stage. The monks, just these spiritual stones discovered before their eyes are already a huge wealth that they can't imagine.
"There are so many spiritual stones just exposed on the ground. If we dig out the ground, why don't we each put some in our storage bags first." The fat monk said with bright eyes.
"No, the spirit stone veins discovered in Diyan Mountain must be managed by the Zhou family." Yu Hua flatly refused, "No one can touch the spirit stones here. I will immediately use the transmission note to inform the senior foundation builders above that this place can trap us. , but it can’t trap the transmission talisman.”
Zhao Yuanjun and Lu Xiaotian looked at each other, and when Lu Xiaotian nodded slightly, Zhao Yuanjun's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he and Zhao Li suddenly slashed at Yu Hua's back with their swords. With a chirping sound, the spiritual sword pierced Yu Hua's back and went straight into his body.
The giant elephant puppet controlled by Lu Xiaotian directly used its thick and long trunk to wrap up another monk from the Zhou family. In the late stage of Qi refining, the bones on his body were caught off guard and were directly rolled into pieces.
"Relying on the power of the Zhou family to boss us around, we are really tired of living." The fat monk and Ding Shou also quickly killed the last remaining Zhou family disciple.
"You, you are so brave." After all, Yu Hua was also a cultivator of Qi Refining Perfection. He didn't react slowly and vomited blood. He looked at Lu Xiaotian and others with horrified expressions, "Aren't you afraid of the Zhou family's revenge?" Really? Without me, can you get out of Diyan Mountain?"
"You really think we are fools. We still have some value before we find the spirit stone vein. If we find the spirit stone vein, do you think the Zhou family can still let us survive?" The fat monk said in a gloomy tone.
Lu Xiaotian nodded secretly after hearing this. Although the fat monk and other casual cultivators were not very strong, they could survive alone for so long. They obviously had a clear understanding of some powerful connections. The Zhou family set up a large camp here and forcibly drove these casual cultivators. Obviously, they want to block the news around them and achieve the purpose of monopolizing the spiritual objects and spiritual mines in this place. But there are many people talking, and it is obvious that only the dead can keep this secret. Obviously Zhao Yuanjun and other casual cultivators are aware of this.
"Hehe, Niubi, weren't you very proud before? You didn't even take a pee and looked in the mirror to see what kind of person you were, then you went to the monks of the Zhou family. Are you trustworthy?" Ding Shou smiled grimly and raised his knife to chop. After Yu Hua blocked Taoist Xu's way.
"Reliable or not, you will all die today." A cold and indifferent voice sounded. The cold killing intent made everyone tremble, and a powerful aura came from the distance of the cave.
"It's the woman in black." The fat monk, Ding Shou and others were all dead. Although they didn't see her, her voice was enough to tell that the person was the woman in black from the previous foundation building stage.
"Let's go!" Zhao Yuanjun was covered in cold sweat. Without saying a word, he led Zhao Li directly into another fork in the road.
After Ding Shou and the fat monk looked at each other, they also took other paths. Although it would be very dangerous to go to different places and encounter other monsters alone, it was still better than dying together now. It can be delayed for a while.
Lu Xiaotian seemed to move a little slower, twitching his lips and then escaped into the cave. The woman in black could only build the second floor of the foundation. But if she spreads the news about this place, it will be quite troublesome. I am afraid that the Jindan ancestor of the Zhou family will immediately decide to execute all the casual cultivators who enter Diyan Mountain. Therefore, he moved slightly slower, deliberately letting the woman in black notice him.
After walking for more than ten feet in the mine, there was a relatively open place. Lu Xiaotian took out a piece of broken linen without hesitation, then took out the ground-breaking knife, placed the ground-breaking knife underground, and then covered it with the broken linen cloth. The ground-breaking knife The breath was completely covered. This piece of tattered linen cloth was snatched from Weng Zhihan's hand. It can completely cover up the spiritual energy of spiritual objects. At that time, Weng Zhihan used it to wrap a foundation-building pill inside a Tibetan blue inkstone. Now that he is using it to set up traps, it is quite good.
"Senior, those people had evil intentions. After discovering the spirit stone veins here, they killed Senior Brother Yu and the others. I wanted to go out and report them, but I was blocked by them just now." Taoist Xu was shocked when he saw the woman in black appearing. He said to the woman in black. "senior"
Before Taoist Xu could say anything else, a slender flying knife had directly pierced his chest. Taoist Xu fell to the ground with a face of pain and disbelief.
"Quack!" The woman in black said coldly, and then rushed towards the grotto that Lu Xiaotian entered just now.
Whoosh! A black flying sword stabbed towards the face. The woman in black was startled and blocked the flying sword with her sword. Then she was shocked to find that Lu Xiaotian, who had never said a word in front of her, turned out to be a foundation-building monk who was not weaker than her. The woman in black made this move Shocked, he blocked the black flying sword, and the flying sword curved an arc in the air and rushed back. The attack was fast and urgent, not allowing her any more time to react. The woman in black threw the flying knife in her hand. Before she could make any more moves, a force behind her was many times more powerful than the black flying sword in front of her. The aura was already rushing into her body, and she had noticed it a long time ago with her unparalleled sharpness. She had to go all out in the face of this powerful blow, not to mention that there was no time to make any more responses and brush her face. The bloodless woman in black wanted to dodge.
But how could Lu Xiaotian, who was carefully prepared, give her this opportunity? With a pop, the knife cut through the heart of the woman in black and came out.
A fiery red ball of soul flew out from the body of the woman in black.
Lu Xiaotian secretly screamed, and after taking in the woman in black's storage bag, he chased after him as fast as possible without thinking. If the soul of the woman in black were to find someone else, it would be the same to him. in a disaster. As for the large number of fire spirit stones in the cave, he had no time to take care of them at this time, not to mention that he was not that short of spirit stones at this time. Let’s talk about everything first before we find a way to leave Yanyan Mountain. But before that, of course, we must try our best to kill the soul of the woman in black. If it were in the open wilderness, even with his speed, it would be extremely difficult to catch up with the soul of a monk of the same level. However, in a specific environment like a grotto, there are hidden dangers such as flowing fire and ground flames. Ordinary monks can rely on various There are many ways to resist, but the fragile soul cannot withstand it, and it is not impossible to catch up with the opponent.
