Lin Suyun, who was standing outside the cave, was not in a hurry to enter the cave. She released her spiritual consciousness and carefully explored all the plants and trees around her, not missing anything suspicious.
"Junior Sister Ling, Junior Brother Zhao, you two stay outside to take care of us, and keep an eye on the surrounding area. If anything happens, tell me immediately."
Lin Suyun breathed a sigh of relief. She did not intend to take everyone into the cave, but asked the two weakest junior brothers and sisters to stay outside to support them.
She was still worried that there would be danger inside, so based on the principle that eggs should not be put in one basket, she asked the two of them to stay outside to respond.
"Yes, senior sister."
The two were a little reluctant, but still agreed.
Lin Suyun led the remaining three people into the cave carefully and began to explore the cave marked on the treasure map.
"Senior sister, this is indeed an ancient monk's cave. No matter how you look at it, you can't believe it."
A Coral Gate monk looked at everything in the cave and said with certainty.
They entered the cave and saw the decaying spiritual objects covered with dust. These seemed to be old at first sight, but they had lost their spirituality and were completely destroyed.
"Everyone should be more careful and follow me."
Lin Suyun put out a defensive shield and walked at the front to clear the way for the team, with three junior brothers following behind.
"Senior sister, a top-grade spiritual weapon, really a top-grade spiritual weapon!"
A Coral Gate monk shouted in surprise.
Lin Suyun also saw it. It was indeed a simple and high-grade Lingbao Flying Sword, which was protected within the forbidden light curtain.
Within the restricted light curtain, there are still many high-grade spiritual stones that have consumed most of them.
In the opinion of Lin Suyun and others, it was the continuous consumption of these high-grade spiritual stones that prevented the Lingbao Flying Sword from turning into ashes.
"The debris on the ground are spiritual stones that have exhausted their energy. This is indeed an ancient monk's cave. We were lucky enough to find the treasure as soon as we arrived."
Lin Suyun was also very happy, and most of her worries were relieved.
"Senior sister, this restriction is very weak. It is not used to protect against people, but to preserve spiritual objects. |
A Coral Sect disciple easily broke the restriction and obtained the high-grade Lingbao Flying Sword, his eyes shining with joy.
"Senior sister, it seems that our worries are unnecessary. This is indeed the ancient monk's cave. Our luck is also very good.
If you kill a monster at random, you can find a treasure map. There must be a treasure here, and there must be something inside. "
"Senior sister, do you want to let the two of them come in together? There is no danger anyway?"
Lin Suyun smiled and shook his head and said: "No need, there is only one road here, no need to split up to explore, the four of us are enough, let's continue looking for the treasure."
The four of them got a high-grade spiritual treasure and were naturally not satisfied. They continued to go deep into the cave to explore more treasures.
Along the way, they once again found several spiritual objects, including low-grade spiritual treasures and fourth-level ores. They also obtained more than a dozen alchemy secret books and three sets of mysterious-level exercises.
These were naturally left behind by the pirates, and the source of these items indeed came from the ancient monks' caves, which they obtained by exploring other caves.
Obtaining spiritual objects one after another made the four Coral Gate people completely relax their vigilance, and Lin Suyun also put away his defensive shield.
They moved forward at full speed, trying their best to search for the spiritual objects in the cave, and they seemed extremely excited.
"Senior sister, what's so bright in front of you must be a valuable treasure!"
Walking to the deepest part of the cave, the four of them saw a very bright platform with a small glowing ball on it.
"Let's go over and have a look."
The four of them stepped towards the small ball, ready to take a closer look.
This small ball is nothing but a child talisman with a shadow of the mother talisman. The mother talisman is in the underground secret room, and six pirates are looking at the image transmitted by the child talisman.
Because the strong light obscured the small ball itself, the Coral Gate four people could not see the nature of the small ball.
"Brother, these four guys have entered a trap, it's time to take action."
"It's really prudent to leave two people outside the cave."
"What are you afraid of? Those two are the weakest. Third brother and I can deal with them. Kill these four people first, and then, if the six of them attack together, these two will not be able to escape."
"Brother, let's do it!"
Several pirates couldn't bear it any longer and urged hurriedly.
"Don't worry, they are already in the bag. If they can't understand the ball, wouldn't it be easy for us to call the other two people in?
Anyway, even if they want to leave now, it's too late. The formation can be activated in an instant. "
However, the extravagant hope of the pirate leader failed to come true. Lin Suyun and others did not let the junior brothers and sisters outside the cave come in.
"No, this is a surveillance talisman, retreat quickly!"
Lin Suyun used the sect's secret technique and finally saw some of the secrets. Suddenly, she broke out in a cold sweat.
"I want to leave, but it's too late. Start the big formation. Old three and four, go and stop the other two and don't let them get close to the formation."
The six pirates acted quickly, and the two of them came straight towards Ling Shanshan.
After the other four people activated the thunder killing formation, they quickly entered the cave from the secret passage and controlled the formation with all their strength. They used the power of thunder to attack the four people trapped in the formation.
"呲呲呲……"
"puff……"
The large amount of thunder and lightning power released by the formation first hit Lin Suyun's body, severely injuring him on the spot.
Lin Suyun took a pill and used her full shield to resist the terrifying power of thunder.
"Hahaha! Stop making fearless resistance. All fellow Taoists who enter the Thunder Killing Formation will not be able to escape alive. From the moment you covet the treasures, you are destined to die here."
The pirate leader laughed excitedly, and his hands were not idle. He launched an attack with all his strength, not giving the four people trapped in the formation a chance to breathe.
They could also see that Lin Suyun, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, was the strongest. To capture the thieves, capture the king first, and kill the leader first, it would be easier for the following ones.
"Sister, let's help you."
"Sister, you must hold on."
The four of them resisted the attack together, using all their trump cards, including various defensive talismans and defensive magic weapons.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they were destined to not be able to hold on for long. The power of the thunder-killing formation was too strong, and several pirates continued to inject true energy, which put huge pressure on the four of them.
On the other side, two mid-stage Nascent Soul pirates also attacked Ling Shanshan and the others. With their superior cultivation, they would naturally have the upper hand.
"Fourth, this female cultivator is pretty good and pretty, so leave it to my brother!"
"If Third Brother likes it, it would be good to capture him and make him a Taoist companion."
The two pirates were calm and calm, and they were killed.
"Who are you? Why are you talking so wildly?"
Ling Shanshan was furious and shouted loudly.
"Haha! So angry, much more interesting than that cold female nun."
"I heard that she is your senior sister, and she is not as good-looking as you."
The two pirates laughed arrogantly.
Hearing this, Ling Shanshan and the two were shocked, how could they not know what happened.
"Junior Sister, they are evil cultivators. This treasure map is a trap. Oh no, Senior Sister and Brothers are still inside. I am afraid they have fallen into the trap."
"What should we do? The two of them have higher cultivation levels than us."
"Little Junior Sister, I'll hold them back, and you should run for your life! Senior Sister, they can't be saved, so leave quickly."
"No, senior brother, how can I leave my fellow disciples and die together?"
Ling Shanshan took out the middle-grade spiritual treasure whip and prepared for a fight to the death.
"Third brother, be gentle, haha!"
The two pirates arrogantly attacked Ling Shanshan and gained the upper hand as soon as they struck.
Facing two pirates whose cultivation level was higher than their own, Ling Shanshan and her two could only resist with all their strength, and were on the suppressed side.
It didn't take long for the two of them to be injured. Fortunately, the strength of the two pirates was not as strong as imagined.
As long as they exchange injuries for injuries, it will be enough to last for a while, or they can escape regardless of the four people trapped in the formation.
"Junior sister, we are no match for them. Continuing is not an option. Let's escape back to the sect first!"
"Senior sister and the others are still trapped inside?"
Ling Shanshan was also very conflicted. She didn't know whether to run away or stay and fight. There was no chance of winning if she continued to fight, and running away would ignore the feelings of her fellow students.
"You want to escape, but it's already too late. Do you really think that we, two middle-stage Nascent Souls, only have such little strength, and that we are deliberately stalling for time in order to trap you."
"Haha! Take a good look around you. Can you still escape?"
The two pirates laughed proudly.
Before launching the attack, they had agreed not to show their full strength so as not to directly scare away the two of them.
They have been operating on this island for many years, so they can naturally set up formations quietly and secretly without being discovered by outsiders.
It's just that this sneaky preset formation takes a certain amount of time to activate, so it's deliberately delayed.
Looking at the defensive light shield rising not far away, Ling Shanshan and the others suddenly felt a sense of fear. They really became turtles in a jar.
"Thieves, even if we die, we have to support them. Senior brother, if we fight with them, we will kill the one with the bad mouth."
Ling Shanshan suddenly felt the will to die and prepared to launch a desperate attack. Even if she blew herself up, she would seriously injure an evil cultivator.
"I want to die together, and in my dreams, I forget who set up this formation."
The two pirates retreated quickly and escaped directly from the formation. They stood outside the formation and looked at the two people inside the formation coldly.
This formation is a fourth-level high-grade trapping formation. It is difficult for just two early Yuanying monks to blast it away.
The most terrible thing is that there are two enemies outside the formation, who are controlling the formation to attack them, making them unable to distract themselves from attacking the formation.
At this point, Ling Shanshan and the others were completely passive. The two pirates were not in a hurry. Anyway, the fat that reached their mouths could not fly away.
They enjoy the feeling of slowly grinding people to death, which makes them happy.
However, these two pirates were not very lucky. They unexpectedly met Ximen Yongxing who was passing by. They were happy but they were killed instantly.
The defensive formation they set up was easily destroyed by Ximen Yongxing.
"Fellow Taoist Ximen!"
Ling Shanshan suddenly saw her savior, and felt an inexplicable feeling of happiness in her heart.
"Fellow Daoist Shanshan, why are you here? The storm sea area is too dangerous. This is not the place you should come."
There was a hint of reproach in Ximen Yongxing's caring words.
"Fellow Daoist Ximen, we came here for an adventure. Unexpectedly, we fell into a pirate trap. Senior sister and the others are still trapped in the cave. We have to rescue her."
Ling Shanshan suddenly thought of her four trapped classmates and hurried straight to the cave.
Since Ximen Yongxing took action, he naturally wanted to take care of it to the end and followed him.
At this time, the four Lin Suyun trapped in the formation were already scarred and might fall at any time.
The pirate leader was not in a hurry anymore. He enjoyed the feeling of torturing people to death. Anyway, the four fat sheep couldn't hold on any longer.
"Senior sister!"
Ling Shanshan rushed into the cave, regardless of her injuries, and killed the four pirates outside the formation with her companions.
The four pirates were also shocked. They sent two strong men in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, but they did not kill the two monks in the early stage of Nascent Soul, which was really puzzling to them.
"What happened to the third brother and the fourth brother? Were they killed by the two of them?"
"Brother, something is not right!"
"No, there is another monk. He killed the third and fourth children."
The four monks suddenly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and quickly took out their self-defense spiritual treasures, preparing for a life-and-death battle.
"Fellow Taoist Ximen, please help us to kill these four evil thieves. Coral Gate will surely be richly rewarded."
Lin Suyun saw Ximen Changqing and asked in the formation.
"Leave this guy to us, you two deal with them, Lao Liu continues to control the magic circle and kill those four people."
The pirate leader said fiercely.
"Quack, go to hell!"
Ximen Yongxing casually used the Storm Flying Sword to directly kill the pirate leader in the late Nascent Soul stage, leaving the other party with no chance to react.
"Run away quickly, he must be a monk who transforms into gods."
The remaining three pirates escaped directly into the secret passage and fled outside.
"Still trying to escape!"
Ximen Changqing used his magic to freeze a large space underground, captured the three people who escaped, and tied them up.
"Are you really a god-forming monk?"
Ling Shanshan was stunned and couldn't believe this was true.
Ximen Yongxing nodded and said, "I don't want to hide it from you on purpose. It's just for the convenience of walking and to avoid being too tired when people pay attention to me wherever I go."
"Thank you, senior, for saving me. I didn't know you were a senior before. Please forgive me for any rudeness."
Lin Suyun dragged his seriously injured body and saluted Ximen Yongxing.
"You're welcome. I don't care about this. This is my Ximen family's holy healing elixir. Take it!"
Ximen Yongxing took out a bottle of Jade Holy Pill and handed it to Ling Shanshan, asking him to distribute it.
Four people were seriously injured, and Ximen Yongxing gave him eight pills. If the elders of the Ximen family knew about this, they would have to reprimand him severely.
However, the family did not know at all about the elixirs in Ximen Yongxing's hands. They were all refined by Pan Yulian himself. He was given at least a hundred elixirs, and more than he could use.
In order to allow the four of them to heal with peace of mind, Ximen Yongxing exited the cave and protected them outside. Ling Shanshan also followed.
"senior!"
"Shanshan, can I call you that?"
Ximen Yongxing didn't like the term "senior" and asked rhetorically.
"Of course, senior, as long as you like it."
"Then don't call me senior, just call me brother Yongxing."
Ximen Yongxing smiled.
Ling Shanshan lowered her head and said nothing, but still nodded, indicating her agreement.
"Shanshan, call and listen."
Ximen Yongxing suddenly became bold.
