After an unknown amount of time, Xu Chen felt that the dazzling blue light all over the sky finally dimmed and faded away, leaving blue flashing spots in his sight, which eventually turned into starlight and gradually faded away.
"Where am I?"
Xu Chen suddenly shook his body and opened his eyes. His mind was in chaos and confusion. He couldn't even feel his body, and he couldn't remember what happened just now. He tried to remember for a long time, and then he slowly remembered that he was fighting a third-level demon wolf.
.
When he thought of this, he was shocked for a moment, and then suddenly felt the presence of his body as if his soul had returned to its original position. At the same time, he was out of breath for a moment, as if he was pressed down by a huge boulder, and he hurriedly exhausted his whole body
With his strength, he suddenly pushed away the demonic wolf that was pressing on him, and then rolled to the side to avoid it.
Hey, that’s not right, why don’t I seem to be injured?
Xu Chen moved quickly and froze inexplicably after rolling out.
He vaguely remembered that he was scratched in the chest and abdomen by the demon wolf's sharp claws.
But he lowered his head and found that the Taoist robe on his chest was indeed torn, but his body was unscathed.
Then, he was stunned again. No, how could I see clearly?
Xu Chen was really confused this time.
He looked blankly at his body, then at his hands, then suddenly raised his head in surprise, and saw the huge demonic wolf lying motionless on the ground not far in front of him.
Although the black mist was still billowing, he could indeed see the demon wolf clearly, but he could only see a distance of about three feet, and the distance further away was still pitch black.
But at this time, the demonic wolf that had caused great harm and fear to him showed no movement at all. He quickly released his spiritual consciousness and swept it, and then a quiet blue light illuminated a distance of tens of feet, and the entire cave situation was clearly reflected in his spiritual consciousness.
presented.
The demon wolf is dead and has no breath.
And Xu Chen was completely stunned.
Because he clearly felt that in the sea of consciousness between his eyebrows, where his spiritual consciousness was usually stimulated, there was a crystal clear blue jade bead suspended, emitting a blue brilliance in the boundless darkness, and there was something like a blue jade bead in it.
The light of the stars flickers and disappears.
how so?
Why did this poisonous bead end up in my divine sea?
And how did I become so powerful?
Xu Chen was puzzled.
Just now, he could not see the cave filled with black mist. Now, not only his eyes can see clearly for several feet, but his spiritual consciousness is even more abnormally clear. The distance has reached dozens of feet. It is almost as strong as the entrance to the True Yuan Realm, and he can ignore the cave at all.
It was filled with billowing black mist.
He tried hard to control his pounding heart and chaotic thoughts, and slowly sorted them out, finally feeling that the reason why he became like this was because of this inexplicable jade bead.
He sat dumbly for half a stick of incense until an almost inaudible scream and crash came from the cave on the side, and he suddenly woke up.
Now is not the time to be in a daze.
Ninth Senior Brother and Thirteenth Senior Sister are still in danger.
Now that the demon wolf is dead, a huge threat has been reduced.
The most important thing right now is to find our senior brothers and sisters as soon as possible and leave this ghost place.
As for Song Qingshi and the other three monks, Xu Chen didn't pay much attention to them. He had to do what he could to save people. What's more, he also wanted to find out the changes in his body and why the demon wolf suddenly died as soon as possible.
The third-level demon wolf is an existence that can compete with the powerful ones in the Danyuan realm. Not to mention moving mountains and reclaiming seas, at least on the edge of the southern border of thousands of miles, there are not many stronger existences, and they will never die in an unknown way.
Thinking of this, Xu Chen quickly stood up, first picked up the fallen flying sword, and then a few broken talisman papers and some messy gadgets fell on the ground, all of which he had collected before.
After putting all these things away, he looked at the third-level demon wolf, which was rotten and still emitting black gas. He activated his flying sword and split the demon wolf's chest open with one sword. He took out a green demon pill the size of an egg, and smoothly
He knocked out two more blood-red fangs, stuffed them into his waist pocket, and hurriedly ran along the complex cracked cave in the direction of the sound.
Now he can not only see with his eyes, but also see further with his spiritual consciousness, so he can find the whereabouts of his companions without any scruples.
As for the danger, he didn't think too much about it, because the deeper the crack went, the more dangerous it actually became. For the Ninth Senior Brother and the others, it was more terrifying than the monster beast.
Immortals who have lost their sight and consciousness are actually not much better than mortal masters.
Xu Chen moved forward quickly in the cave.
Although the dense gaps and holes looked extremely confusing and complicated, he continued to identify the direction through the sounds coming from him. At the same time, he also had the powerful spiritual consciousness that could penetrate the black mist to easily detect the route. Therefore, he found it in less than half a moment.
A missing monk.
He didn't know this person, but judging from his clothing, he should be a monk from the Five Thunder Gate. However, he looked very miserable, his robes were in tatters, his hair was disheveled, he was covered in scars, and one of his legs was lame. He was just like a blind man, groping his way slowly along the stone wall.
, looking extremely nervous.
Hearing the footsteps, the monk was so frightened that he huddled on the ground and did not dare to move.
However, although Xu Chen saw him through his spiritual consciousness, there was still a hole that was so narrow that it was impossible to pass through, and the distance between them was more than ten feet.
"Fellow Taoist, don't panic. I am Xu Chen, a disciple of the Taiyuan Sect. I came here specifically to rescue you. How are you doing now?"
Xu Chen's voice rang in the cave, and then resonated with the cracks in all directions, making a buzzing sound.
The frightened monk from Wu Lei Sect was stunned for a moment, and then he cried excitedly and said, "That's great. Fellow Daoist Xu, take me out quickly. I will thank you very much!"
Xu Chen replied: "No need to be polite, but there is still a narrow gap between you and me. I can't get through now, but you can follow my instructions and I believe we will meet soon!"
The monk said excitedly: "Okay, okay, I will obey Brother Xu's command in everything!"
So Xu Chen directed the monks to move forward according to the terrain explored by his spiritual consciousness. He also continued to pass through the gaps and cracks like a maze. The two communicated with each other through language. After half a stick of incense, the two finally found themselves in a relatively spacious cave.
meet.
The monk from Wu Lei Sect burst into tears with excitement. He grabbed Xu Chen's hand tightly and shook it vigorously. He choked and said, "If Taoist Fellow Xu hadn't come here today, my life would have ended!"
Xu Chen consoled him: "We are not out of danger right now. In addition, I have two senior brothers and sisters and the Song Valley Master who came in to rescue them. Now they are all separated and I don't know where they are. We have to find them all together before we can go out. Please hold on to me."
I will take my clothes and robe together, and we will leave together when we all meet up."
The Wu Lei Sect monks repeatedly said yes, then tightly grabbed Xu Chen's tattered robes, and the two of them continued walking along the complicated cave one after the other.
As the two walked, Xu Chen also asked about what happened after they entered the rift.
In fact, the situation was similar to what Song Qingshi said. The four of them came in together. The deeper they went, the weaker their spiritual consciousness became. When the four of them noticed something was wrong and were about to exit, they discovered that the detection distance of their spiritual consciousness could no longer allow them to identify the correct direction.
, and then the four of them were running around like headless flies looking for a way out, but they fell deeper and deeper. In the end, their consciousness was completely obscured by the black mist, and there were also unknown monsters attacking, and the four of them finally separated completely.
.
Before Xu Chen met this Wu Lei Sect monk named Zhou Ding, he had been wandering around there for more than two hours. He had no idea where he was or how deep he had gone. It was like he was trapped in a wall.
Just like a blind man, he can only grope his way forward with his hands, and he has to constantly beware of attacks from monsters along the way.
During this period, he fought two monsters, but now his energy was exhausted, his elixirs were exhausted, and his magic weapon was lost.
He was almost completely desperate. If Xu Chen hadn't appeared in time, he would have been trapped to death even if he wasn't killed by the monster.
Fortunately, God opened his eyes and allowed Xu Chen to find him.
So after communicating and walking with Xu Chen all the way, his mood gradually calmed down. However, the further he walked, the more strange he became. He couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Daoist Xu, can you see the road?"
Xu Chen smiled and said, "You can indeed see more than ten feet away?"
"More than ten feet?" Zhou Ding exclaimed.
He couldn't help but feel excited. He was in the middle stage of Kaiyuan Realm. His normal consciousness outside was only about twenty feet. Deep in the black wind crack, it was compressed to almost only two or three feet away. For someone who was used to using divine consciousness,
For a monk who is aware, this is no different from a blind person.
Both times I was attacked, I didn't react until the monster almost pounced on me. This unknown monster is not particularly powerful, but it can come and go freely in this complex crack environment, which makes it completely impossible to resist.
, every time I can only try my best and then run away in embarrassment.
In this ghost place, not to mention seeing more than ten feet, even if you can see three to five feet, you can definitely deal with these monsters easily and get out smoothly.
What he didn't know was that in order not to arouse too much suspicion, Xu Chen had already reduced most of his data, and his current range of consciousness was close to thirty feet.
As for after going out, he speculated that it should not be less than a hundred feet, almost the same as a True Yuan realm monk.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, there is no need to be surprised. This is not actually how strong I am, it's just that I used the same magic weapon from my master."
After Xu Chen said this, Zhou Ding felt a little relieved and said with emotion: "There is such a magic weapon. The Taiyuan Sect has a profound foundation. It is indeed not comparable to a small sect like our Wulei Sect."
"You're welcome, fellow Taoist, you're being humble!" Xu Chen was pretending to be polite, but suddenly there was a roar from the side, followed by another bang, and at the same time there was a shrill female scream.
"Senior Sister Zhao!"
"No, it's Junior Sister Qing'er!"
Xu Chen and Zhou Ding exclaimed at the same time, and stopped almost at the same time. Zhou Ding said anxiously: "This is my junior sister Sikong Qing, not Fairy Zhao of the Taiyuan Sect. Please help Daoist Xu quickly to rescue her."
At this time, Xu Chen roughly understood that this was indeed not the voice of Thirteenth Senior Sister Zhao Xuan, so he quickly released all his consciousness and searched for the passage leading to the scream.
This time, they were lucky. The two parties met only a few dozen feet away, and there was a gap connecting them. Soon they found Sikong Qing.
However, the woman was in extremely poor condition at this time. She suffered several serious injuries, her clothes were torn and she was covered in blood. She was almost in a semi-conscious state. The most important thing was that the monster that attacked her did not leave, but was still complex around her.
It wanders back and forth through the cracks and hollows, and may launch an attack at any time.
At this time, Zhou Ding was treating Sikong Qing, performing massage and Qi transfer, but Sikong Qing did not wake up completely.
Xu Chen said nervously: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, this is not a place where we will stay for a long time. We have to leave as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you, Taoist Brother Xu, for continuing to lead the way. I will carry my junior sister on my back to follow." Zhou Ding was not a mother-in-law, so he gave up on rescuing. He carried his junior sister on his back and grabbed Xu Chen's Taoist robe with one hand, and the three of them continued walking together.
However, after walking less than ten feet forward, when they passed through a hole, a black wind suddenly burst out from it, and a strange monster that looked like an octopus pounced on the three of them with its fangs and claws.
If Xu Chen couldn't see it, he might not notice it until the monster was close, but in fact, his consciousness was paying attention to the movement of the monster all the time, so when it jumped out of the hole,
Xu Chen's flying sword had already struck down at the entrance of the cave.
"Boom~"
The green sword energy lit up like a sword in the dark cave. At this time, even Zhou Ding, who was like a blind man, could see it clearly. With just a sword light, he cut the monster into two.
Cut it off, then fell to the ground with two clatters.
The cave instantly returned to darkness again, Zhou Ding's face was filled with emotion, and his mouth was wide enough to fit a large duck egg inside.
From the time Xu Chen took action to killing the monster, it only took two breaths.
But he didn't notice any monster approaching at all. It wasn't until Xu Chen released the flying sword that he came back to his senses. But with a flash of green light, the monster had been split in half.
"Hey, how could this happen?"
While Zhou Ding was stunned, Xu Chen was also full of surprise.
Because the monster beast he cut in half quickly withered and disintegrated after falling to the ground, turning into black mist and disappearing within a few breaths.
However, under his keen observation, a pitch black bead about the size of a finger was still left on the ground.
"What is this?"
Xu Chen raised his hand and made a move, and the black bead fell into his hand. Immediately, a cold air invaded his soul and he couldn't help but shudder slightly. The blue jade bead in the deep sea actually shone slightly, as if it would
The cold air was absorbed, and Xu Chen's discomfort disappeared instantly.
Xu Chen didn't know what level of treasure the jade bead was, but this black bead was certainly not simple. It could even make him, a monk, tremble with cold. Although he couldn't feel the presence of spiritual energy, he thought it should be similar to the demon pill.
It's just something weird.
But now is not the time to study this thing, Xu Chen casually stuffed the black beads into his waist pocket.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, what happened?" Zhou Ding came back to his senses and asked.
"It's a bit strange. After this monster was killed, it turned into black energy and dissipated." Xu Chen explained, but did not mention the black beads.
Although he has never been down the mountain and has insufficient social experience and experience, he still has the simple and simple concept of hiding good things, otherwise his little possessions will not be enough to deceive his senior brothers and sisters in the mountain.
Zhou Ding was also surprised after hearing this. He thought for a moment and said: "This crack is unfathomable, and the black wind is even weirder. It is not surprising that it can give birth to some strange monsters. Fellow Daoist Xu should find other fellow Daoists as soon as possible to join us and go out. I
I’m worried that junior sister won’t last long.”
"Okay, let's go!" Xu Chen continued to lead the way.
Perhaps this area is the area where the spiritual consciousness of all Kaiyuan realm monks is compressed to the extreme. Almost all the people who came in from the two groups were scattered in this area, so soon, Xu Chen found another monk, who turned out to be Ninth Senior Brother Lu Yuan.
