The leaders of the other two teams are also Yuanying stage monks.
Since it is well known to monks in the Northern Wilderness that cave monsters like to feed on energy and blood, Chen Xuan and Wu Tong were rejected by the other two teams without any suspense.
As a result, Chen Xuan and Wu Tong were not accepted by the three hundred-man monk teams that were about to go down to the catacombs to investigate. The two of them wanted to go down to the catacombs, so they had to go alone.
However, Chen Xuan saw some monks who had also been rejected by the three teams coming in front of the city lord's palace. In addition to martial arts cultivators, there were also some golden elixir-level monks who did not fall into the eyes of the leaders of the three teams.
These monks also planned to venture into the cave in order to get the reward from the city lord's palace and some rare materials in the cave.
None of the three teams accepted them. These people were unfamiliar with each other. There was no one to take the lead, and it was impossible to assemble them together.
After Chen Xuan saw this, he immediately came up with the idea of forming a team of his own.
"Fellow Taoists who have not joined the three teams can join my team, Chen Xuan of Jiukang Hall. I plan to form my own team to receive the reward order from the City Lord's Mansion. If you are interested in joining, please come to me."
When Chen Xuan shouted like this, many monks who had not joined the team were really moved at the gate of the city lord's mansion.
If they can't form a group, these monks don't want to go down to the crypt alone.
Therefore, these people hesitated for a while, then came to Chen Xuan and asked Chen Xuan for details.
Chen Xuan waved his hands and said simply: "Fellow Taoists, our team has no special rules. It doesn't matter even if we can't complete the bounty mission of the City Lord's Mansion. The main thing is that it is safer for everyone to go down to the cave together. My friend Wu Tong and I are just playing together.
I will take the lead and will not instruct you to do anything. All in all, our team is relatively free. If you want to join, just sign up."
Hearing what Chen Xuan said, these monks who were used to being in Beihuang and had a very loose personality naturally had no objections.
If I have any objections, it would be that the two team leaders, Chen Xuan and Wu Tong, are both at the Golden Core stage like them.
"Dr. Chen from Jiukang Hall, I know you. I heard that you are good at medicine and martial arts, but you haven't advanced to the Nascent Soul stage yet, right?" One of the monks asked a question that everyone was concerned about.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said: "I am currently only a perfect martial artist in the Golden Core stage, and Brother Wu is a complete martial artist in the Golden Core stage. If you feel that we are not strong enough to lead a team, you can also form your own team."
For these monks who want to join Chen Xuan's team, it is not enough for the two team leaders to have only the Golden Core level.
But it is precisely because of this that they can gain more freedom in the team.
And anyway, they can't join three hundred-man teams, so it would be good to join two martial arts teams known for their combat prowess.
Chen Xuan saw that none of the monks standing in front of him had any objections, so he quickly counted the number of people. Counting himself and Wu Tong, there were thirty-three people in total. Both the number and strength were far inferior to the three hundred-man teams.
However, Chen Xuan was very satisfied with being able to recruit so many people.
After confirming it, Chen Xuan went into the city lord's palace to receive the reward order, and then asked the monks in the team to prepare and gather at noon to set off.
Naturally, the three hundred-man teams were not very optimistic about the temporarily formed fourth team.
Especially Yuanying stage monks such as Guangjue.
Even if there are no Nascent Soul-level people in Chen Xuan's team, there are still seven martial arts cultivators in it. Going down to the cave is like seven injured and bleeding people being thrown into the sea. It will definitely attract countless demons more ferocious than sharks.
It's just that the thirty Jindan monks in Chen Xuan's team didn't realize the seriousness of having seven martial arts cultivators in the team.
Before setting off, Wu Tong pulled Chen Xuan aside and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen, there are seven martial arts cultivators in our team. Is it too many? If we are surrounded by demons in the cave, we will not
It’s easy to deal with.”
"As long as everyone else has no objections, Brother Chen, as martial arts cultivators, it is normal for us to use killing as training. Otherwise, how can we dominate with combat power?"
Chen Xuan's response left Wu Tong speechless, and then he patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, if you say this to you, then I will sacrifice my life to accompany you. Anyway, I can't get the top martial arts skills."
, If I can’t break through the Nascent Soul stage, my daily life will be meaningless.”
Soon, the other thirty-one monks came back to gather at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Chen Xuan had to take so many people with him when he went down to the cave for the first time. He decided to be cautious and let the three hundred-man team go first.
Guang Jue and the leaders of the other two teams also knew what Chen Xuan meant, but they didn't care at all. They each led more than a hundred monks out of the south gate of Yechao City and went to the nearest cave entrance to get their weapons.
Ten miles south of Yechao City, there are a total of seventeen cave entrances, large and small, and the depth of each cave is different.
The three hundred-man teams are all in competition, so it is impossible to go to the same cave entrance.
The monks in Chen Xuan's team did not want to go with the three major teams, so Chen Xuan combined his opinions and chose a cave that had been explored by monks before and where no powerful demons were dormant, and went down to explore from the entrance of this cave.
Looking at the deep and dark entrance, which was about twenty meters in diameter, Chen Xuan was the first to walk inside without much hesitation, with Wu Tong following closely behind.
The other monks were more or less under psychological pressure, and each hesitated before following him.
The thousands of caves in the Northern Wasteland have intricate passages of different sizes, which are a hundred times more complicated than the secret passages in the Split Cloud Valley.
It is common for monks to get lost when entering.
It's just that most monks have already explored the shallow caves, so the danger is not so high.
After walking for almost half a mile, Chen Xuan felt that the corridor was very empty, but lifeless. Not even a single mosquito could be seen, let alone monsters and beasts.
This made him wonder if there were no living creatures in this cave.
"Brother Chen, be careful. We have reached the central area of the shallow cave and we will probably encounter low-level demons soon." Wu Tong warned from the left side of Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan nodded and continued to lead the way forward.
Their team was traveling at about the same speed as the three major teams, and most of the corridors in the Northern Wasteland Cave were connected, so they had to be careful at all times to see if they might take the wrong corridor and bump into people from other teams.
After going down another two hundred meters, almost reaching the bottom of the shallow cave, Chen Xuan heard a whining sound coming from the surrounding corridors.
This is the dark wind surging in the cave, and the sound sounds like the howling of ghosts and wolves, which is quite terrifying.
It is rumored that the Yemo Sect is in a cave near Yechao City, but the leader of the Yemo Sect, Yan Youli, has a cunning personality and has never revealed the true location of the Yemo Sect.
One of the reasons why Chen Xuan came down to the cave to explore was to see if he could encounter the Yemo Sect where Yin Chonghua was.
