Meng Zhang retreated a little when he discovered that the mine was related to ghost monks.
To be able to survive the hostility of the entire cultivation world, one can imagine the abilities of the ghost monks.
Ghost monks are not only powerful, but also vicious in their style. They will retaliate. Meng Zhang is not willing to easily provoke such powerful enemies.
After entering the mine for so long, the ghosts I faced were actually not weak. The reason why Meng Zhang was able to move forward smoothly was not just because he was powerful, but also because the magical weapons he possessed and the techniques he practiced were able to completely defeat ghosts.
If it were other monks, without targeted means, even those in the later stage of Qi refining would have a hard time breaking through the numerous interceptions of ghosts and reaching Meng Zhang's location.
This mine is the work of ghost monks. Does the Zhao family monk know? If they knew, what were they planning? Why didn't they report the traces of the ghost monks to Shuangfeng Valley? What was their purpose in asking Fang Yong to reveal the information to them?
As Meng Zhang moved forward, he thought slowly in his heart.
While Meng Zhang was exploring the mine, there was a very hidden cave under a hill not far from the mine.
Inside the cave, several young monks were complaining.
"This weather is really annoying. The sandstorm is so fierce that the red-feathered eagle can't stay in the air for long. It seems that we have no way to monitor the surrounding situation."
The person who spoke was Zhao Yang, an elite member of the new generation of the Zhao family. He is only in his early twenties and already has the sixth level of Qi refining.
Zhao Yang has always been valued by the elders of the clan because of his excellent cultivation aptitude.
Growing up, he had relatively sufficient cultivation resources, so he spent most of his time cultivating within his clan and rarely went out.
Because this mission is simple and there is no major danger. The elders in the clan only let him go out to perform tasks. It was a kind of experience and would help him break through the bottleneck between the middle and late stages of Qi refining.
"The sandstorm is so big that even the red-feathered eagle can't move, and that kid can't even go out."
"A mere palm-sized sect leader who is only in the middle stage of Qi refining, how dare he go out in such weather?"
"He is not afraid of getting lost in a sandstorm and being buried alive by the yellow sand in the sky."
"..."
A group of young people started discussing in a hurry.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. This mission is of great importance, so it's better to be cautious. When the storm subsides a little, let the red-feathered eagle try to take off." A middle-aged man with a cold face interrupted them discussion.
This middle-aged man's name is Zhao Chen, and he is the youngest elder of the Zhao family. But in his early forties, he has the cultivation level of the late stage of Qi refining. With his qualifications and cultivation, if he could obtain the Foundation Building Pill, Foundation Building would not be hopeless in this life.
This time, in order to monitor Meng Zhang, the Zhao family spent a lot of money and mobilized a lot of force.
Four red-feathered eagles were dispatched, divided into two groups, two by two, to monitor Taiyi Gate and the surroundings of the mine.
Because there are two red-feathered eagles taking turns to monitor every place, so as long as Meng Zhang leaves Taiyimen and comes here, he will never escape the eyes and ears of the Zhao family.
Although the red-feathered eagle is a monster that the Zhao family has cultivated for many years. But most red-feathered eagles are small monsters, smaller than ordinary eagles, and can only be used as messengers or to carry out simple exploration tasks.
Among the many red-feathered eagles, only a small number of mutated red-feathered eagles can grow into large red-feathered eagles that can be ridden by cultivators.
The large red-feathered eagle is the most important mobile force of the Zhao family, with a total of less than ten. This time, nearly half of them were dispatched to monitor Meng Zhang. This shows how seriously the Zhao family takes this matter.
At this time, Meng Zhang had roughly figured out the matter after some thinking.
The Zhao family must have discovered that there are traces of ghost cultivators in this mine. However, because there are some benefits in the mine, the Zhao family concealed the news about the ghost cultivator and wanted to monopolize the benefits.
Moreover, the ghost cultivators who arranged the arrangements in the mine will definitely not be in the mine. Otherwise, the Zhao family would not dare to seize it.
Through Fang Yong, the Zhao family aroused their curiosity and tempted them to come here, either to let them explore the way to facilitate their subsequent exploration; or to let themselves be the scapegoat and take the blame for them.
After understanding this, Meng Zhang moved on.
Since there are benefits that the Zhao family covets in the mine, he must not let them go in vain. Even if it is a chestnut in the fire, it must be captured.
Thousands of living people had died in the mines, but Meng Zhang didn't find any corpses along the way.
In this Yin Qi environment, the corpse is not so easy to decay. The number of corpses transformed into zombies is obviously too few.
Meng Zhang eliminated many zombies along the way. Some zombies should have cultivators in front of them, with storage bags tied around their waists.
After the zombies were killed, the storage bag naturally fell into Meng Zhang's hands as a trophy.
In addition, Meng Zhang's discerning eye allowed him to discover several buried storage bags in some corners.
Meng Zhang emptied these storage bags and took out the contents.
In addition to a lot of low-grade spiritual stones, there are just some messy items.
Meng Zhang put all the harvest into his storage bag. The original storage bag had the symbol of Shuangfenggu on it, so he threw it away.
The harvest was pretty good, there were five to six hundred low-grade spiritual stones, not to mention the sundries.
Meng Zhang had completely made up for the expenses he had incurred in order to enter the mine this time, and he also made extra money.
Meng Zhang had brought several storage bags with him before setting off, and he just needed them now.
Meng Zhang went deeper into the mine. He no longer followed the original tunnel of the mine. Instead, he used the technique of looking for energy and moved along the place where the Yin energy was the strongest.
Surprisingly, the direction Meng Zhang chose now was actually smoother than traveling along the mine tunnel.
After using the Explosion Talisman to break a few stone walls, it was a smooth journey. Compared with the twists and turns of the mine tunnel, it is obviously much easier to walk.
Although he still had to face many interceptions by ghosts along the way, at least the time spent on the road was saved.
Later, the ghosts Meng Zhang encountered were not only more powerful, but also increased in number.
Fighting hard all the way and moving forward, even though Meng Zhang was fully prepared, it took a lot of effort to continue moving forward.
Another group of ghosts were eliminated, and after turning a big corner, Meng Zhang finally arrived at his final destination.
It was a huge stone chamber dug out of the ground. It was so wide inside that it was basically a hall that could accommodate hundreds of people.
The location of the stone chamber happens to be the place where Yin energy gathers, and it is also the source of the underground evil energy leaking out.
(If a ghost word appears in the chapter title, it will directly become untitled. So...)
