Yunxia Peak, three hundred miles southwest of Taibai Peak, is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round. When the sun rises, there will always be boundless clouds that dye all the forests. The scenery is extremely beautiful. Yunxia Peak is located in a basin, surrounded by mountains, and the geothermal heat does not dissipate all year round.
Coupled with the moisture of water vapor, the trees are covered with shades, and there are countless rare and wild fruits, not to mention rare birds and animals. It is an inaccessible paradise.
Three years ago, the Tianqiong Sect discovered that there is a pure spirit stone vein on the western foot of Yunxia Peak. Although it does not occupy a very large area and the reserves are not large, the purity is very high, and there is almost no need for any five-qi Chaoyuan array to filter it.
The spiritual energy released by the spiritual stone can be used directly. There are more than a hundred mortal miners stationed here, a dozen Qi-training monks, and two foundation-building monks. The small number of people stationed is not due to overestimation, but
This place is very close to Taibai Peak. The distance of 300 miles is only one hour based on the escape time of ordinary foundation-building monks. If it is a monk of Xantianyuan who cannot even use half an hour, it is not cost-effective to deploy heavy troops.
Chuanyunzhou flew in the sky for about half an hour before arriving at Yunxia Peak. Chen Yunsheng lowered the altitude of the boat and flew over the main peak at low altitude, trying to find the gathering place of the Tianqiong Sect monks. According to Gu Siqin's explanation, the main peak of Yunxia Peak
Not far from the western foothills, you can see the Tianqiong Sect's mine.
Everyone carefully identified the scenery flying below, for fear of missing something. After a while, Jin Ling pointed to a small black spot in front and said: "Brother, look, is that the mine?"
Chen Yunsheng looked around and found a small cave on the gentle terrain halfway up the mountain. Beside the cave were many huge wooden shelves. There was a row of low wooden houses next to the shelves, but no one was seen around the wooden houses.
Activity. He quickly accelerated and flew towards the black spot in the distance.
The cloud boat was so fast, it was so close in the blink of an eye. The cold wind in early winter made the grass all over the ground tremble, but the trees around the mine were still green. What surprised everyone was that there was no one around the mine. Chen Yun
He jumped off the boat and walked in front of the low buildings. He saw that these small houses were built from thick logs. Although they were crude and crude, they were very strong. When he walked up to it, he found that
There were some marks on the small log, which seemed to be scratches left by wild animals. I didn't pay attention to them at the moment. After all, wild beasts are common in the mountains.
He opened the door and saw that there was no one in the dark room. The furnishings in the room were very simple. There was a huge earthen kang with several quilts placed on the edge. There was an earthen stove in the middle of the room, and there seemed to be some remaining ashes inside.
temperature.
At this time, Zhuge Jingyu and Feng Danggui had already checked several other rooms, but also found no one. Chen Yunsheng said in surprise: "It's not yet noon. Logically speaking, someone should be responsible for cooking. Why is there no one in the camp?"
"
"I see that the ashes in the stove are still warm. The people here must have just left. There are many scratches on the logs of the house. It seems that someone has fought here. I suspect these people are in danger." Zhuge
Jingyu frowned.
Chen Yunsheng already had this premonition in his heart, but when he heard Zhuge Jingyu say it, he still felt a little heavy. Feng Danggui said in a deep voice: "This is only three hundred miles away from Taibai Peak. I don't believe that Si Tiange has such courage.
Go deep into the hinterland of the Sky Sect and kill people."
"Now is not the time to discuss this issue. You two will follow me into the mine to explore. The remaining people will guard outside the pit in case of emergencies." Chen Yunsheng ordered. Although he brought the cultivation base of his team with him
The two tallest monks explored the cave, but the remaining few were not weak in strength. With Jin Ling alone, it was no problem to deal with ordinary Jindan monks.
The entrance to the Lingshi Mine is not large, and the interior is also extremely narrow. Since it relies on ordinary people to dig, it is impossible to open a large cave. Every few feet on the wall there is a groove for placing lamps, which contains some animal grease.
This is set up for the convenience of mortals digging caves. For monks, even if there is no light, they can still rely on their spiritual sense to detect the situation in front. The tunnel is not very smooth, and there are many worn-out pickaxes and shovels discarded on the ground.
, it can be inferred that the stone here is relatively hard and the excavation work is not very smooth.
The Lingshi vein at Yunxia Peak has only been excavated for three years, and the tunnel is not very long. Chen Yunsheng didn't go far when he saw dots of silver light on the cave wall, like stars in the dark night. Following the stars, the silver light
The light became denser and denser, and the cave was illuminated very brightly. Under the cold glistening light, the faces of the three of them looked particularly pale.
After passing another corner, the originally very dry air was suddenly mixed with a trace of water vapor. Feng Danggui suddenly stopped and said solemnly: "The air of death here is so heavy!"
"Why do you say that? It seems that you are particularly sensitive to this kind of smell." Chen Yunsheng asked doubtfully, but he didn't feel anything was wrong.
Feng Danggui said with a hint of joking: "Only monks like our uncle in the Tianqiong Sect can live a comfortable life. We monks from Xantianyuan are dealing with life and death every day. There are so many monsters and ghosts in the Tianqiong Mountains, who knows what will happen.
The situation. Many brothers were still alive and kicking when they left in the morning, but when they encountered powerful monsters while patrolling, they never came back at night. Their intuition about death was honed bit by bit."
Although these words were a bit harsh, Chen Yunsheng could hear the sadness in them. He finally understood why Gu Jian always looked at him with a look of contempt in his eyes. He couldn't help but sigh. It seems that the Tianqiong Sect is not as good as it seems.
From the looks of things, everything is peaceful. The first sect in Tianqiong Mountain will also face challenges from all aspects. If he can survive the challenge from Sitian Pavilion this time, he is willing to find a job in Xantianyuan. It can be seen that from
The monks in Xantianyuan all have a sense of pride.
Chen Yunsheng gathered his thoughts and then walked forward. The tunnel became wider and wider, as if there was a natural cave in front of him. Chen Yunsheng jumped up to a rock with a quick step, and he could overlook the entire cave from a high position.
The sight in front of him was something he would never forget. The huge cave was filled with corpses. Everyone's limbs had been chopped off and hung on the cave wall like vines. The corpses without limbs were like butterflies.
The larvae, due to pain and fear, all the faces of these people were deformed, becoming as ferocious as ghosts. The plasma has not yet solidified, and is still flowing out from the severed limbs. Dots of silvery white color appear on the walls of the cave, which will
The corpse was clearly photographed, down to every detail, and there was an atmosphere of terror surrounding it. Countless black beetles appeared from nowhere, crawling on the corpse and chewing the fresh meat.
.
Chen Yunsheng's head began to hurt violently. A similar scene had appeared when he was trapped in the illusion, but the location had changed, but the content was the same. Dead people, blood, and ferocious faces, no matter who fell, they
The blood that flowed out was the same. He clenched his fist tightly and swore in his heart that he would never let this scene happen again. He must find the murderer of these mortals.
A big hand patted his shoulder twice. Chen Yunsheng turned around, and Feng Danggui's stern face appeared in front of him. His eyes seemed to be burning with endless flames. Feng Danggui said: "Now is not the time for silence.
, these people died not long ago. If we chase them quickly, we might be able to catch up."
At this time, Zhuge Jingyu, who had been silent for a long time, said: "I don't think so. We must at least find out who did all this. We can deduce their movements from the situation at the scene. Judging from the death of these people, the opponent obviously wants to
If they want to irritate us, the more this happens, the more we need to calm down and not be fooled by them."
After talking, everyone gradually calmed down, and Chen Yunsheng began to carefully inspect the scene. Most of these corpses were miners without magic power, and there were also a few monks. However, he searched and found the two foundation-building monks. These people
All the limbs were forcibly torn from the body, and the corpses were arranged according to a certain pattern, which seemed to be an ancient sacrificial method.
Zhuge Jingyu suddenly shouted: "Everyone, come here and see what is here."
Chen Yunsheng and Feng Danggui followed the sound and saw a huge wolf corpse lying on the ground in the corner. The wolf's fur was grey-brown, two feet long and eight feet high. It was a typical wolf from
The gray wolf in the Evil Wolf Valley. There is half an arm in the wolf's mouth, making it look particularly ferocious and terrifying.
Feng Danggui roared: "It turns out to be the Evil Wolf Valley, no wonder they were so vicious. Apparently, they were performing a blood sacrifice."
"I don't think so," Zhuge Jingyu shook his head disapprovingly, "There are a lot of doubts here. First of all, the wolf monsters in the Evil Wolf Valley have always been on the same page as our Tianqiong sect, and they have no reason to do this. Secondly, from what I have learned
Judging from the wolf demons we have come into contact with, they have a strong sense of clan and cannot possibly allow the corpses of their own kind to remain at the scene of a blood sacrifice when they have an absolute advantage in strength. From these two points alone, we can infer that it is not the wolf demon who
for."
Chen Yunsheng was reminded by Zhuge Jingyu, and a chill suddenly surged in his heart. He said coldly: "If it wasn't the wolf demon, but there was a wolf corpse on the ground, this is obviously a trick to blame others. At present,
It seems that there are two forces that have reasons to do this. The first is Tingfeng Valley, and the second is Sitian Pavilion. Although Tingfeng Valley has not promised not to add insult to injury, I don’t believe they dare to strike first. After all, Tianqiong Sect and Tingfeng Sect
There is no direct conflict between the valleys. The person who should be most suspicious is Sitian Pavilion. They killed the monks here and left the wolf corpses to blame the Evil Wolf Valley. If we don't pay attention and take action against the Evil Wolf Valley,
We will definitely be surrounded by enemies on all sides.”
Feng Danggui was not a stupid person. Hearing the reasoning of the two men, he was convinced. After thinking about it, a terrifying thought suddenly lingered in his mind.
