"There is no road ahead, should we find another way?"
The little eagle who was walking ahead to clear the way killed a poisonous snake that suddenly jumped out and threw it aside.
But when I looked up, the winding path had reached its end.
Further ahead, there were thick weeds everywhere, and there was no place to set foot as far as the eye could see.
This place is only a hundred or ten meters away from the foot of the mountain.
There are various venomous snakes and insects hidden in the grass, and you will be bitten if you are not careful.
Even the snake catchers can't penetrate deep into the green vine mountain. The little eagle doubts that there is another way up the mountain.
Li Yiming hurriedly said: "This section is more difficult to walk. Once you get past these weeds, the front will be much better."
Looking at the weeds half a man tall, the overgrown branches, and the twisted vines blocking the road in front of him, the little eagle was obviously a little annoyed.
"Let me help you clear the way."
Li Yiming walked to the little eagle, pulled out his sword, and wanted to follow the little eagle to open the way.
He has already seen that it is unrealistic for a young man like Little Eagle to do such menial work as clearing roads.
These were the reinforcements he invited, and he had to rush to help.
"I'm coming too, Wu Ying, you take a rest first."
Li Cheng also had the same idea as Li Yiming, and Li Cheng quickly stepped forward to clear the way with Li Yiming.
One of the two is responsible for clearing the grass and branches, and the other is responsible for killing various snakes and reptiles hidden in the grass that may appear at any time. They work together well.
Little Eagle stepped back and walked side by side with Gu Yuan, saying in a complaining tone: "If we hadn't accepted this mission, we would have arrived at Dark Cloud City by now."
Li Cheng turned around and said, "There are still four or five days left. We can't catch up with the auction even if we go now. Why are you so anxious?"
Little Eagle argued: "Besides the auction, there are other fun things to do in Dark Cloud City. Even if we don't go to Tianxiangju, shouldn't we go and exchange some spirit stones in advance?
we……"
The little eagle paused, looked at Li Yiming who was walking in front and Liu Xiaojie who was walking next to Gu Yuan, and then continued: "We also have a lot of things to get rid of, don't we?
How can I participate in the auction if I don’t have any spiritual stones?”
Gu Yuan and the others did get a lot of good things in the mysterious realm. Everyone set them aside in advance and hid them in their own Qiankun equipment. They just handed over the treasure bag.
Moreover, everyone also killed a few people in the secret realm and obtained some unused magic weapons and spiritual weapons. These can be exchanged for spiritual stones, but there is no need to let Li Yiming and Liu Xiaojie know.
Gu Yuan smiled, what the little eagle said made sense, it was indeed a bit hasty to go to Li Cheng to pick up the mission early this time.
"Let's do this. Send a message to Zuo Zhan and the others first, saying that we will go to Dark Cloud City to wait for them, and then we will go to Dark Cloud City after we deal with Qi Youlin!"
"Okay!"
The little eagle agreed readily and immediately took out the Jade Slip of Sound Transmission.
As soon as I thought about it, the message had been sent.
Soon, Little Eagle said excitedly: "They have arrived. Zuo Zhan said that Mo Ming is taking... ahem, taking our things to find the seller."
Gu Yuan nodded, "Tell Zuo Zhan that after you take action, you can directly replace it with spirit stones!"
Zuo Zhan has all the items from Evil Cultivator Sulet, and they should be able to exchange them for a lot of spiritual stones.
…
The group of people walked forward for another moment before they stopped again. A dark pool of water appeared not far in front of them. This was their destination, the Black Water Pool.
Liu Xiaojie took out the map and checked it against the terrain.
Li Yiming took out the Jade Slip of Sound Transmission to contact his teammates who were watching him. Soon, two disciples dressed in white rushed over from a distance.
The black water pool is very large. According to Gu Yuan's visual inspection, the two banks are at least hundreds of meters apart, and the cave where the evil cultivator Qi Youlin hides is on the mountain opposite the river bank.
How to cross the Blackwater Pond to catch Qi Youlin became a big problem.
Two disciples rushed over quickly.
Li Yiming introduced both parties. One of these two disciples was named Li Siyuan and the other was named Jiang Wenzhe.
Li Yiming asked: "What's wrong?
Is Qi Youlin still in the cave?
Have Lin Xiao and Du Mingyue been out?"
Li Siyuan replied: "Qi Youlin came out once last night. It was too dark and we couldn't see clearly. We could only see him coming out and walking around and then going back.
Lin Xiao and Du Mingyue have never appeared."
These two disciples were too low in cultivation and did not dare to confront Qi Youlin, so they could only monitor him from a distance.
Gu Yuan asked: "Has Qi Youlin been here all the time these four or five days?
He should have known that we would bring in reinforcements, so why didn't he run?
This is unreasonable, unless there is something in the cave that can keep him."
Li Siyuan said: "That's not clear. We can't enter the cave. In fact, it's not surprising. He may have stayed here because his injury was too serious and he was recovering here."
Another disciple, Jiang Wenzhe, said: "I think his injury has healed, and his cultivation has improved a lot."
Li Siyuan was stunned and looked at Jiang Wenzhe in confusion, "It's always dark every time he comes out, how do you know he's healed?
How do you know that his cultivation has improved a lot?"
Jiang Wenzhe said without thinking: "I see that his figure is getting more and more agile. Besides, the evil skills are different from our orthodox skills. Their cultivation methods are very likely to make rapid progress. I always feel that he can't stay here."
Maybe it's for practicing martial arts. Look at this black pool, it's so dark and evil everywhere."
"In other words, he is probably waiting for someone when he stays here.
Moreover, he clearly knows that we are here to monitor him, but he has never taken action against us. It is very likely that he wants to..."
"fishing!"
Gu Yuan and Li Yiming said in unison, and everyone thought of the possibility that if Qi Youlin's injury had healed and refused to leave, he most likely wanted to stay here for "fishing."
This also shows that Qi Youlin is now a powerful enemy, and he is sure that he can defeat the reinforcements who come to capture him!
Li Siyuan looked at Jiang Wenzhe and said unhappily: "This is all your conjecture. Stop being alarmist!"
Jiang Wenzhe was stunned for a moment, "Li Siyuan, why did you react like this?
I just stated my guess..."
Gu Yuan immediately said: "Okay, now that we are sure that Qi Youlin is in the cave opposite, you guys should leave first."
Liu Xiaojie said: "Senior Brother Gu, we can help somewhat by staying here."
Gu Yuan waved his hand and said, "No, there will be a fight soon. It's not safe for you to stay here."
Liu Xiaojie wanted to fight for it again, but Li Yiming said: "Our cultivation level is too low, and staying here can only be a burden. Senior Brother Gu and the others have to focus on protecting us, so why don't we leave first!"
