It's a cold night and I can't see the mountains in the distance.
The rain and mist spread quietly, the sky and the earth, the bead curtains were hazy, dripping on the stone beach and grassland. This was the last farewell of the clouds.
In front of Yinfeng Cave, the soft and extremely sticky sand has absorbed water, making the passage at the entrance of the cave muddy. As soon as you step on it, the edge of the shoe is suddenly covered with a layer of dark earthy color, which ruins the beauty.
After flying for several seconds without saying anything, the Nether Ghost Cult and his party returned here, with five puppets walking at the forefront. Qingqiu Hu ordered Gu Liqin to explore the way, while he himself cautiously stayed behind.
"Li Qin, pay attention to the soil on both sides of the cave. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately!"
Every time they burned incense, several people stopped to rest for a while, waiting for Gu Liqin to send news of safety before continuing to explore the next area.
Qingqiu Hu acted extremely cautiously. He did not just send Gu Liqin to take the lead. He also replaced two other apprentices several times, and even came forward alone.
In this way, there is no chance of anyone trying to lure him into a trap.
The passage seemed to be a bottomless pit. The four people and five puppets walked for several hours without seeing the end point. On the contrary, the luminous fluorite in Guo Ying's hand was covered with a layer of gray fog by the cold wind in the cave, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Wait until your junior brother comes back before leaving. It's too dangerous to travel in the dark."
The fluorite on Qingqiu Fox's body was given to several apprentices. It would be too extravagant to use fire spiritual power to illuminate it, so they stopped where they were to rest.
"By the way, Master! There is something that I haven't reported to Master yet..." Guo Ying suddenly remembered something and said to Qingqiu Fox.
"What's the matter?" Qingqiu Hu glanced at her and said lightly.
"When the disciple returned, he saw seven or eight monks by a creek, also in the area where we are..."
"What?!"
Qingqiu Hu suddenly looked startled, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "Why didn't you tell such an important thing earlier!! Which sect are they from?!"
"Yu...Yu Beast Sect! They have many spiritual pets!"
Guo Ying was startled by Qingqiu Fox's attitude and even stuttered a bit when speaking.
Qingqiu Fox was so angry that he beat his fists and palms together and said with a look of regret: "I'm so confused!! I forgot the simplest thing after thinking about it!!"
"Master, they are only at the peak of Qi refining..."
Guo Ying still wanted to argue, but Qingqiu Hu took the lead, picked up the fluorite and walked up the passage: "You guys wait here for Gu Liqin to come back, and then go back as a teacher!!"
It was the first time that Li Fan and Guo Ying saw Qingqiu Fox paying so much attention to him. They didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they had no choice but to answer. In just a few breaths, Qingqiu Fox disappeared into the dark cave.
Not long after, Gu Liqin held up the fluorite and hurried back with the five puppets. When he saw that Qingqiu Fox was nowhere to be seen, he looked shocked: "Where is the master?"
Guo Ying saw the person clearly, and then told him everything in detail, including Qingqiu Fox's solemn expression before leaving.
Chen Mo and Gu Yao were also listening attentively. Based on her words, Chen Mo concluded that there must be a force behind them that could threaten Qingqiu Fox's plan. If they could use it skillfully...
However, knowing too little about the situation, Chen Mo decided to continue to hold back, even though this was the best time to capture a few people.
"—Boom!"
Just when a few people are talking. There was an earth-shattering sound in the cave, shaking them so much that they almost lost their balance. The gravel above their heads fell one after another, almost blocking their way forward.
"It's Master's trick!!" Gu Liqin's eyes flashed: "Quickly leave! Let's break out first, otherwise we will be buried alive by Master!"
Chen Mo was confused. Even if he didn't want to have a head-on confrontation with a powerful enemy, there was no need to blow up the hole. How could they return the same way?
Others may have thought about this problem, but the top priority was to escape from this area. Gu Liqin and others took the five puppets and ran all the way. When they were exhausted and gasping for air, the urging sound became much smaller.
Suddenly there was a slight sound of wind in my ears.
"Senior Sister Guo, Senior Brother Gu, did you hear anything?" Li Fan looked a little surprised.
"Is there any?" Guo Ying could only hear her own beating heartbeat: "What sound did you hear?"
Gu Liqin held his breath and concentrated, and suddenly said: "There is wind flowing in the cave, which means the exit is not far away. Let's go out first and wait for Master outside!!"
The few people nodded immediately, and Gu Liqin went to the front to explore the way, and Guo Ying covered the rear. At first, they could still stand and walk, but after a while, the hard soil forced them to crawl forward.
The brown sand under his elbows gradually faded, and the wind became louder and louder. By the time Gu Liqin looked around vigilantly, the path in front of him had turned into a silver-white gravel path.
At this moment, a white mist suddenly surged from the corner of the cave. It flowed very fast and surged towards several people!
"Oops!! What the hell is this?"
"Why are you still standing there! Take the detoxification pill quickly! Move back!"
How could Gu Liqin dare to gamble with his own life? When he saw a strange situation happening, his first choice was to retreat. On the other side, while opening and closing the storage bag, he summoned six pills to clear the poisonous miasma. come out.
The five puppets couldn't make any mistakes. Gu Liqin stuffed a pill into their mouths, and the rear team changed to the front team and hurriedly retreated.
"boom....."
Not only was he running away aimlessly, but when Gu Liqin looked back, he also bombarded the cave walls on both sides to block the invasion of the white mist.
In an instant, dust was flying in the cave, and everyone sucked in some dust. There was nothing we could do, it was better than losing our lives for no reason.
However, this white mist is not an extraordinary thing. It has reached a pervasive level. Although Gu Liqin's actions can slow down its speed, the retreat of the few people is indeed too slow.
The white mist shrouded the group, and they had no way to retreat. Gu Liqin was trapped in it with a horrified look on his face, thinking that he was dead this time. When he was about to hold back his senses and struggle, he discovered that... the blow was just an ordinary one. It's just underground mist.
On the other side, Guo Ying, Li Fan and others also looked like they were surviving the disaster, with their mouths wide open in surprise. This thing was made so terrifying by Gu Liqin, but in the end it was a false alarm!
"Are you stupid!!"
After learning the truth of the matter, Guo Ying was furious and said angrily: "Is the mist poisonous or not? Don't you use your spiritual sense to check it? It made the two of us run away!!"
Gu Liqin also looked confused. Maybe he was too nervous and forgot about it.
He then smiled bitterly: "It's all junior brother's fault, please don't mind, senior sister!"
"Huh? What are you doing?"
Before they could exit the crawling hole, a familiar voice of inquiry came from behind them.
"Master! You're back!" Several people shouted in surprise, as if they had found the backbone of the team. Gu Liqin said: "The exit is ahead! We are almost there!!"
"Oh? Lead the way!" Qingqiu Hu said lightly, and chose to lower his body and move forward with a few people.
It was easy to collapse the tunnel, but it took Gu Liqin a lot of effort to restore it. The tunnel originally took less than an hour, but it took twice as long for a few people to see the light at the exit.
"Walk!!"
Everyone from the Underworld Sect filed out and landed in the cold passage together. The smell of blood suddenly floated over from not far away and lingered in their noses.
Qingqiu Fox was the last one to come out, and with a wave of his hand, he destroyed the passage they entered through. Now they had no way out, so they had no choice but to move forward.
