As long as you are careful to avoid the corpse-eating vine monsters lurking underground, it shouldn't be difficult to leave Chixia Valley. Wei Shiqi immediately flew back to the waterfall with his sword, put away the Hidden Snow Sword, dived into the pool and returned to the heart of the mountain.
Yu Yao was leaning on the stalactite, thinking blankly, when she saw him standing up wetly from the underground river, she stretched out her arms and gave him a lift. Wei Shiqi wiped the water droplets from his face and said, "Tai Yi Sect has retreated, and it looks very safe outside."
"So we can leave at any time?" There was no joy on Yu Yao's face. It didn't seem urgent for her to leave this dark mountainside.
"Yeah, but there are vine demons everywhere in the valley, lurking underground. There are too many and it's difficult to deal with them."
"What vine demon?" Yu Yao was stunned, her voice trembling slightly.
Wei Shiqi knew what she was worried about, stretched out his hand to hug her, and said comfortingly: "It's nothing important, they are just some bloodthirsty rattans, monsters that have not yet awakened and rely on their instincts to prey on flesh and blood, so there is nothing to be afraid of. "
Yu Yao seemed to be possessed by a demon and kept asking about the appearance of the vine demon. Wei Shiqi sighed secretly and gave a brief description. She seemed to confirm something. She was in a daze and murmured: "That's... that's Taiyi." The corpse-eating vine monsters cultivated by the sect, ranging from lions and tigers to small birds, are all prey killed by them. Wherever they pass, the birds and beasts disappear, leaving no living creatures... There are more than 300 members of the Yunya sect. He was dragged underground by the vine demon, with no bones left..."
Wei Shiqi hugged her tightly and stroked her hair, with desolate tears on his chest.
"Leaving them here is also a disaster. How can we get rid of all the corpse-eating vine monsters?"
"Do you want to vent your anger on me? It's just that the corpse-eating vine demon here is not the murderer of my relatives back then..."
"Know more about your opponent's weaknesses so that you can be prepared in case the vine demon attacks here. Let's talk about it, maybe I can find a way." Wei Shiqi raised his chin and gently rubbed the top of her head. Yu Yao leaned against her In his arms, his nose felt sore. At this moment, she suddenly felt that she could no longer be strong. Is it because there is a man? Is he trustworthy and dependable? Her heart was in confusion, as if she had suddenly lost herself.
"...The corpse-eating vine demon has no obvious weaknesses. Cutting off the vines will not help. Only by finding the vine demon's body hidden underground can we deliver a fatal blow. It is best to use fire spells. Flying swords are difficult to work."
"Is the sword cultivator helpless with the vine demon?"
"It's not impossible, but the vines are extremely tough, especially the old vines that are more than a thousand years old. It is difficult to cut off with ordinary flying swords, and the juice can stain the spirituality of the flying swords, making them difficult to guard against. Only the Sanyang Guiyuan Demon Fire Sword, Only flying swords such as the Six-winged Water Snake Sword can activate the demonic fire and poison to attack its vital points."
"Dirty the flying sword?" Wei Shiqi let go of his arm, took out the iron rod from the sword pouch, and looked carefully. Sure enough, it was stained with the juice of the rattan, with several mold-like marks and a faint fishy smell. .
"This iron rod of yours has no spirituality. It can't be stained. It's just a little rusty at most!"
Wei Shiqi saw that she had put away her sadness and became a little more cheerful, and suggested: "Taiyi Sect has evacuated the Thunder Fire Tribulation Cloud, and the corpse-eating vine monsters left behind are not of concern. We might as well leave Chixia Valley and go to Liushi Peak to join our fellow sects. Bar."
"No!" Yu Yao's reaction was a bit extreme. After a pause, she softened her tone and said, "I'll stay here. You go to Liushi Peak. Just don't mention me."
Wei Shiqi was silent for a moment and said: "If you don't want to go, don't go. There is no need to stay here. It's better to hide in the city and find a town to live in than to stay here."
Yu Yao had some thoughts. Living without seeing the light of day all day long was not a long-term solution after all. She remembered that there was a town more than 300 miles south of Chixia Valley. She rented a courtyard to live in anonymity and was safe and sound. Live life... While I was thinking about it, the mountainside suddenly shook. Countless dark vines squeezed in from the gaps in the rocks and rushed towards the two of them crazily.
Wei Shiqi thought for a while and realized that the juice on the iron rod had attracted the corpse-eating vine demon. He immediately activated his true energy and swung the iron rod to destroy all the vines. Yu Yao took the opportunity to use the short-handled wild goose sickle. , turned around to urge Wei Shiqi, who released the Zangxue Sword from his sword pouch, and the two of them flew into the air side by side with their swords.
The strength of the rattan is so great that it opens the narrow gap and swarms in, quickly climbing along the stalactites, spreading to the top of the cave, intertwining into a huge cage, trapping the prey.
"Oops!" Yu Yao's heart suddenly sank. Judging from the number of vines, at least dozens of corpse-eating vine demons attacked at the same time. Once trapped here and exhausted of their true energy, there would be only death.
More and more vines were drilled into the mountain. Gravels were flying everywhere, and stalagmites were falling like rain. Wei Shiqi waved the iron rod, and the true essence was superimposed layer by layer. Every time he swung the rod, the vines were smashed into powder. Yu Yao saw that the cane was increasing, she frowned and asked: "How long can it last?"
"It will take three hours at most. If the vine demon does not retreat, it will have no choice but to risk a breakout." Wei Shiqi raised his head and looked at the top of the cave. There was a long, narrow and zigzag gap there. He urged his true energy with all his strength to make a fatal blow. Maybe he could Fortunately, he rushed out of the mountain and escaped this disaster.
Yu Yao's thoughts changed slightly and she said: "...Don't worry, hug me first!"
Wei Shiqi glanced back at her in his busy schedule, stretched out his arms to wrap around her waist, gently lifted her up, and stepped on the Hidden Snow Sword. He was distracted and failed to take good care of it. The flying sword took a heavy hit, sank slightly, shook a few times, and then stabilized.
Yu Yao retracted the short-handled wild goose sickle, concentrated and held her breath, activated the Burning Heart Art, and the true energy spurted out, continuously pouring into the flying sickle. A streak of red flames flowed erratically, like light and shadow, like an illusion, and the hot breath rose into the sky.
"The sky and the earth are covered, and the heart is burned with fire." Yu Yao lightly scolded, flicked the flying scythe, and a dark red flame splashed out. The mountain was suddenly as hot as a furnace, and all the vines were burned to ashes. As soon as they were spared, the corpse-eating vine demon's vitality was severely injured, and they retreated underground to rest.
Yu Yao used all her true energy to drive the magic, and could not hold on for more than a few breaths. The flames dissipated in an instant. Yu Yao put the short-handled wild goose sickle into the sword pouch and whispered: "I can't hold on any longer. You have to hold on tightly. Don't hold me back." I fell..." She seemed extremely tired and slowly closed her eyes. Her body suddenly went limp and she fell into the arms of Wei Shiqi.
Wei Shiqi tightened his arms and saw that her breathing was heavy and she was unconscious. It was obvious that the blow just now had exhausted all her true energy and she was exhausted. He held Yu Yao in one hand and held the iron rod in the other. He used the "Poisonous Dragon Diamond" in the Mad Demon Staff Technique, followed the gap in the cane to break through the mountainside, and flew the sword to the sky above Chixia Valley.
He found a sheltered cliff and dropped down, letting Yu Yao rest on his lap. He took off his coat and covered her body. He thought to himself that the sword techniques of the Gouyan Sect were indeed unique and their reputation had not deteriorated for thousands of years. The Sword Controlling Sect is fighting against each other, so it should not be underestimated.
