Ma Liangyan glanced at the people following behind him, his expression was unstable, and he sneered in his heart: "Follow them all, and we will slowly cook it when we get to the tunnel."
He walked at the front and was naturally the most risky, but he didn't care. When they reached the depths of the tunnel, the people in front of them had no way out and could only follow his own command.
Most of the dangers in the tunnel are in the second half, which is why he is taking the lead now. If he, the leader, is afraid to enter the tunnel, then how can the younger brother following behind him obey orders.
The ground under your feet is a little soft, and the area around the cliff is slightly damp. Judging from the size of the glowing moss plants, this tunnel must have been abandoned for a long time...
Xiaochen walked in front of the crowd, looking at the surrounding environment and thinking.
I remember that the entire underground of Wujie Abyss is full of all kinds of tunnels, and it is very easy to get lost in them.
You can't use the seduction spell underground, which means that if you are trapped underground, you won't be able to leave.
Therefore, these tunnels are also called death zones!
Ma Liangyan walked boldly. It seemed that he was very familiar with this road. If so, it could also explain why the group of them could ambush early...
After all, taking the tunnel can avoid a large number of environmental obstacles and dangerous areas in the outside world.
Xiaochen thought about it, his spiritual mind's vigilance never relaxed, and his whole body was in a tense state.
At this time, the team is relatively peaceful. Although everyone does not trust others, they still move forward together and guard each other.
"The blood crystal mine is deep in the tunnel, don't be nervous." Xiugao was still interested in chatting with Qiu Shaobin beside him.
Qiu Shaobin also said nonchalantly: "Haha, I wonder how big this blood crystal vein is."
"It would be great if it were a new mineral vein. It is hidden in such a hidden place and has not been mined much." The woman next to Qiu Shaobin said coldly, looking thoughtfully at Ma Liangyan in front of him.
"Of course they are new..." Xiugao chatted with the two of them in a low voice, suddenly looked around, then leaned close to the woman's ear and whispered in her ear: "They are all new, don't worry, girl."
Linlan sneered after hearing this and did not respond. She didn't believe there was such a mine. If she really had the opportunity to make a fortune, she wouldn't recruit people like this. Why not dig it secretly by herself?
Seeing the woman's reaction, Xiugao felt a little sullen on his face, but he hid it well, and his expression returned to a smile in just a moment.
At this time, Qiu Shaobin raised his hands and smiled at Xiu Gao and said, "My junior sister has always been like this. I hope Brother Xiu won't take offense."
"It's okay, it's okay." Xiugao waved his hand and said.
Xiao Chen looked at the crowd. At this time, everyone had been divided into four small teams. Although everyone was gathered together, they were actually somewhat different.
I'm afraid that if a conflict suddenly occurs, the team may fall apart.
Three forks suddenly appeared in front of him. Ma Liangyan identified them, then walked to the left, stepped inside, and suddenly became enlightened.
Inside is a huge cave, filled with sharp stone thorns.
It's a bit difficult to get down here, and the sharp thorns on the top of the head seem to be shining with cold light. No one knows when the stone thorns will fall.
"Follow closely, don't make any noise here." Ma Liangyan turned his head and ordered. Although his voice was very small, as the sound came out, several stone thorns above his head suddenly fell.
Fortunately, everyone stayed away.
Xiaochen looked at the stone thorns that were inserted straight into the ground, and his expression turned cold. There was something wrong with the stone thorns. Under the penetrating power of the stone thorns, the stone thorns on the ground were as fragile as tofu.
Seeing this, Xiugao also put away his arms and looked at the stone thorn above his head with fear.
Fortunately, all the monks worked hard to control their movements and moved forward for several hours without any accidents.
And this cave seemed to be boundless. Through the thin mist, a stretch of stone walls connected to the top of the cave could be seen. In the gaps between the stone walls, the routes were even more complicated. Xiaochen looked behind him and saw the same. It's a similar terrain, with cave entrances staggered by stone pillars.
There was more and more sweat on Jin Li's face. The road disk in his hand was completely disordered and turning randomly. The road guide disk was also completely paralyzed at this time.
On the other side, Sujue, who was also in the tunnel, pinched his fingers and counted the time. The Ma family's group should be almost at the exit of Qianya Cave at this moment.
"Oh, it's time to prepare a little surprise for them."
"Luckily!"
"My subordinates are here!" Suixing came out and knelt down on one knee.
Suijue took out a jade slip and recorded some information, then threw it to him and said comfortingly: "Suixing, you have been following me for 7 years, and your hands and feet are clean. You can handle this matter, and remember not to expose the secret." ”
Fortunately, he took it with both hands, and then said again: "I understand that I will not hesitate to die for Duke Jue!"
Suijue then nodded and said: "Okay, you can go with peace of mind. I heard that your 8-year-old son has good cultivation aptitude. I will suggest that the clan focus on training him."
"Thank you Juegong!" Suixing's body trembled after hearing this, and then he lowered his head and said nothing more.
In a relatively safe cliff, Ma Liangyan took everyone to rest here on the pretext of thinking about the way forward. This place was backed by a slope and had a wide view of the outside world. It was considered a safe place.
"How far do we have to go to this damn place? There are sharp stone thorns everywhere." Lin Lan complained.
Xiugao responded: "Come on, we should be at the exit in an hour or two..."
Xiaochen looked at the people around him and didn't say much. So far, everything has been going well.
After frowning and thinking for a long time, Ma Yanliang finally spoke: "The road ahead is not going to be easy. We are divided into four teams, exploring the road ahead and cutting off the rear."
"Brother Ma is right." The lame man agreed at this time.
Then more than ten people echoed in response.
But the crowd below was silent. Everyone looked at each other, but they were extremely silent.
oh? It looks like there may be danger ahead...
Xiaochen looked outside and thought.
When Ma Yanliang saw everyone was silent, Quan took it as acquiescence. At this time, the casual cultivators could not remember the way and had already followed him. He said forcefully: "Lame, Xiugao, Lao He, Xiao Ma, the four of you will each lead a team. You choose yourselves.”
Everyone's expressions changed after hearing this, and the leaders of several small teams also looked very ugly. Ma Liangyan's move was equivalent to reintegrating the team, and the captains were all under him. Without power, they would have no right to speak. , they can only let others slaughter them.
What if the squad leader had the right to speak and asked them to go to a dangerous place...
To fall out is to stand on the opposite side, which is tantamount to hitting a snake to the nine inches.
"I don't accept it, why is the captain your confidant?" Qin Chong stood up and said. The dozen or so people around him stood up one after another as they watched him protest. Compared to the four unfamiliar people, they obviously believed in Qin Chong as the captain more. .
Qiu Shaobin's eyes moved slightly when he saw this, looking at the good show in front of him.
Xiaochen didn't move, silently watching the development of the situation. Qin Chong's move was tantamount to challenging Ma Liangyan's authority. This was very dangerous for the superiors. If they backed down and people lost their support, the team would not be able to survive at all. I can’t take it with me.
The four captains selected by Ma Liangyan personally looked at Qin Chong with contempt.
"Are you leading the team? Do you know the way?" the lame man said mockingly.
"Brothers at the back, please sit down first. The boss asked us to lead the team for everyone's safety. After all, we are familiar with the route and know where there may be danger." Xiugao stood up at this time and talked to the people behind Qin Chong Talking.
When Qin Chong saw this, he looked at the two men angrily. The two men sang with black faces, obviously trying to separate his team.
After listening to Xiugao's words, several people behind Qin Chong were also wavering. Finally, they looked at Ma Liangyan, who had an absolute advantage in numbers, and slowly sat down again.
The remaining seven or eight people followed Qin Chong and looked coldly at the group led by Ma Liangyan.
Ma Liangyan looked gloomy and did not speak. He just took out the sword in his hand and directed his oppressive aura towards the standing people.
Immediately, a few of the people's expressions changed drastically as they were oppressed by the aura, and they took a step back.
"Middle stage of foundation building?" Qin Chong faced the aura directly and said uncertainly.
Although this place will suppress the cultivation level in the Qi Condensation stage, the aura brought by the cultivation will not change.
"Who isn't!" Qin Chong roared and his momentum emanated, and he seemed to be able to compete with Ma Liangyan.
Strength is the confidence that gives him the right to speak.
The situation became tense in an instant. Seeing this, Lao He had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, we are all in the same team. Since Brother Qin wants to lead the team, how about I give you my captain?"
Ma Liangyan didn't reply, his eyes stared at Qin Chong like a wolf.
"That's pretty much it!" Qin Chong took back his breath after seeing this, and put a group of people behind him into his own team. Then he turned around arrogantly and walked aside to watch the remaining people coldly.
After this incident, Ma Liangyan looked extremely gloomy and forcibly intervened to divide the remaining people into groups, while Xiaochen was pulled into the team by Xiugao.
"Things are getting interesting..." Xiaochen looked at the cripples who were leading the way as a team, as well as Ma Liangyan and the others in the middle of the team. The thoughts in his eyes were constantly changing. In such a team, he became restrained. , just be wise and protect yourself.
If you stand out too much, you will be targeted.
Hugh Gao greeted everyone in the team with a smile, and seemed to have no airs at all.
"Our three teams will be on top in two hours. Don't worry, I, Xiugao, will go with you."
"Brother Xio, you're welcome!"
Hearing all kinds of flattery, Hugo seemed to be very helpful.
Although everyone had some friction, they continued to move forward, and everything was fine for the first moment. When the second team changed shifts, the first team was transferred to the rear, and Qin Chong and others from the second team walked to the front.
Although Ma Liangyan looked unhappy, he still talked to the person next to him about the next route, and then asked that person to lead the way near Qin Chong.
