Ji Xuan reached out and grabbed Qing Rong from the robe.
Because they were too small, three messy water snakes got mixed up between her fingers and hitched a ride.
A slight reflection of the water mirror flashed in front of Ji Xuan's face. Half of the water snake's body that penetrated the mirror was cut off by the sudden disappearance of the water mirror, and it died.
In the darkness, Qing Rong's cheerful figure swaying left and right was vaguely visible in his consciousness.
Ji Xuan poked the snake: "Tell me, where are we going?"
Qingrong's snake-body chrysalis has been pupating in one direction.
Ji Xuan enlarged it to a suitable length for her, wrapped it around her neck, and walked toward her pupa with it on.
Yan Guilai's three-piece suit was in her arms. Xiao Huang and Xiao Hui's bodies were not only rising and falling softly and warmly due to their breathing, but also trembling slightly due to fear.
"Come on." Ji Xuan tried to cheer them up through his spiritual consciousness.
Everything seemed to be back to the waterway under the whirlpool of the Blackwater River, the same cave, only darker and more snakes.
Ji Xuan activated Qingrong's aura, and the pressure from the Foundation Establishment stage prevented the low-level snakes from climbing onto her body, temporarily easing the trouble of turning into a snake's frame.
Half an hour later.
In the cave, three acupoints with different directions are opened diagonally below the ground, vertically directly above, and crookedly on the sides.
The front half of Qing Rong's body shook his head, twisting and turning to one side, trying to find the acupoints on the side on the same level.
Ji Xuan's hand gently stroked the snake head propped up in front of her eyes and hesitated.
There's something wrong with this snake.
In the past, Qing Rong was used to coiling around her ears, and would not move easily except in front of the Shuang Hua Snake King, and was even easily forgotten by Ji Xuan.
But at this moment, the snake's body was dancing, and the aura that was forced out was unstable. It strangled Ji Xuan's neck like a drunken man, trying to drag it to the side acupuncture points.
Ji Xuan even suspected that her neck had been strangled by her.
This is already a mild attack, and it is not a common phenomenon for the spirit beasts that belong to her.
Otherwise, she would not dare to wrap the snake around her neck casually.
Ji Xuan called the spiritual butterflies in front of him and released them one by one at each acupoint.
"Sorry." Ji Xuan gently shrank Qing Rong.
After a while, the spirit butterflies came back to her side with a flutter.
Ji Xuan calmed down and analyzed the information brought back by Lingdie.
Among all the spiritual beasts, the spirit butterfly's thoughts are the easiest to distinguish and understand. Their grade must be very high, at least higher than Qingrong.
The acupoints above lead to another intersection; the acupoints in front are no different from the current situation; the walls of the acupoints below are getting closer and closer, and the passage is narrowing. Lingdie feels that she will definitely not be able to get through.
Ji Xuan stuffed Qingrong into the brocade bag, flew straight up, then climbed up the cave wall, grabbed the protrusion on the cave wall through the snakes, and climbed up.
Groups of slippery snakes piled up under his hands, constantly trying to climb up, but were frightened away by Qing Rong's pressure.
The floating technique in the Qi refining stage is very expensive to use, flashy, consumes a lot of spiritual power but is very inflexible, which is really troublesome.
The state of the kit changed from hanging down obediently to climbing up against his cassock.
Until Qing Rong bit out a gap in the kit, which was not a magic weapon at all, and climbed onto Ji Xuan's neck unwilling to admit defeat.
She couldn't wrap around Ji Xuan's neck, so she had to hang on Ji Xuan's face, crawling rustlingly, trying to attract Ji Xuan's attention.
Ji Xuan: "..."
He doesn't know how to bite, right?
"No attacking!" She ordered Qing Rong in her mind, "No opening your mouth!"
The next intersection is not too far away, with only two forks.
Ji Xuan held Qingrong in his hand, pinched her snake mouth, and waited for the message from Lingdie Pathfinder.
The acupoint on the left leads diagonally upward at a slight angle, and the density of the snakes decreases; the acupoint on the right leads to one side, and "the air gradually becomes fresher."
Qing Rong twitched dishonestly, and the snake's tail forced a few marks on Ji Xuan's hand.
You have to leave quickly. If Qing Rong really goes crazy, Ji Xuan's strength really won't be able to stop him.
There seems to be nothing unusual about both roads, and they are developing in a good direction.
Ji Xuan let go, wanting to see if Qing Rong had any reaction.
——Qing Rong still wants to go back the way he came.
Ji Xuan pressed his hand again.
"Do you have any recommendations?" Ji Xuan asked Lingdie, "Which path should I choose if I want to get out of this cave?"
Psylocke didn't respond.
Ji Xuan changed his words: "Go ahead and fly as you please."
The spirit butterflies flapped their wings and wanted to return the way they came.
Ji Xuan: "..."
"You can't take this road. Choose one of the first two."
The butterfly was not crazy yet, and obediently gave up its feet and flew to the cave on the left where the density of the snakes decreased.
"very good!"
Ji Xuan was satisfied: "Let's go, just go to the right."
"The air is fresh" can be considered a good sign. There may be air flow between it and the outside world.
Several times like this, every time he passed an intersection, Ji Xuan firmly determined the direction of travel through the reverse elimination method.
There was no way, Qingrong's behavior was abnormal, and Spirit Butterfly obviously preferred a humid and watery environment.
How come there are butterflies that like water?
After another acupuncture point.
The cool wind blew across Ji Xuan's face, and the dry air even covered her with a sand mask.
Ji Xuan:! ! !
Out!
The place where the spiritual consciousness reaches is no longer a dense cave covered with snakes, but the blurry ground and night.
It seems to be night here. The entrance of the cave opens on the mountainside of a mountain. On top of the mountain, sand and soil accumulate.
Compared to Wansheng Peak, it is more like the secret realm of Wansheng Peak.
Ji Xuan's eyes narrowed, staring not far below.
There, the spiritual power fluctuations of the exploration array were so familiar, and the breaths of nearly ten cultivators were intertwined.
It was not a crude version of the detection technique, but a detection array that even An Jingbai was reluctant to use.
——Someone formed a team, a team of nearly ten people.
Chiyan Linghai's Taoist magic was quietly operating. She turned back to the cave and dug out a space the size of a person on the wall of the cave ten meters deep.
It's dark and not safe. Let's talk tomorrow.
The soil layer was sealed in front of her, and a minimalist version of the earth mirror technique was affixed to the inner wall of the cave dwelling. The full coverage reflected the ordinary smell and illusion of soil, hiding the hollowness and living atmosphere of the cave wall here. .
In front of the earth mirror, Ji Xuan finally dared to light up the lighting technique, and the white light illuminated the space.
She took out Qingrong and placed it in her hand.
Qing Rong has regained some sense and is better than the drunken state when he was crawling on her face.
Ji Xuan pondered and raised his palm closer to observe whether there was any abnormality on Qingrong's snake.
Qing Rong's little head arched and arched.
Suddenly, the snake raised its head, revealing the tips of its poisonous fangs, and rushed towards Ji Xuan's eyes.
Ji Xuan opened his eyes wide in surprise and fell backward.
For the first time, Qingrong's snake mouth appeared so clearly and bloody.
