But before the old man and Ji Yin could release the spirit beasts and demon corpses, something strange happened on the altar.
A green giant silkworm in the light ball suddenly started to tremble, and then the golden light around it quickly dimmed.
Almost at the same time, the golden thread in its mouth broke with a trembling sound.
"not good!"
Wan Tianming Zhengdao and others, who were paying full attention to the matter of collecting the treasure, exclaimed in surprise with a huge change in their expressions.
But before they could take any action, several other golden silkworms also experienced the same situation.
After the same golden light was greatly reduced, the golden threads of the other two giant silkworms were also cut off on the spot.
At this moment, Wan Tianming's heart sank to the bottom. His body that was already moving forward suddenly froze in place.
But that’s not all yet!
Although the golden threads of the remaining three giant silkworms were still there, without the support of half of their companions, they "whispered" as if they were pulled wildly by a huge force, and were pulled into the big hole like flying.
Then there was a loud sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and the entire stone platform shook.
The blue light at the entrance of the cave immediately dimmed, and the chill became much less intense.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the righteous people all looked ugly.
Ji Yin and the other old demons who were about to take action had weird expressions on their faces and their big eyes widened. The expressions on their faces were equally wonderful.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The bearded man laughed heartily. The yellow beard on his chin trembled as he laughed, looking extremely happy.
At this time, Ji Yin and the old man in Confucian shirt also reacted, showing faces that were gloating about the misfortune, and they all looked at the Zhengdao trio with smiles.
As a result, Wan Tianming's face turned even more livid.
In order to obtain the treasure this time, he spent so much effort and cost so much, only to end up being laughed at by people in the devil's path.
This made Wan Tianming feel so angry that he could no longer suppress it.
Suddenly he turned around and stared at Ji Yin and the other three with a cold look in his eyes.
The smiles of Patriarch Jiyin and the old man suddenly froze.
The other party is a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Even though they belong to the two paths of good and evil, they are not willing to easily form a deep hatred with Wan Tianming.
But Barbarian Beard stopped laughing wildly under this glare, but he stared back rudely.
"What, Master Wan, do you want to compete with Man here? I just want to learn the Tianluo true skill, one of the three great Confucian magic skills." Manbeard said with a provocative look on his face.
After Wan Tianming stared coldly at Man Beard for a while, a look of reason finally returned to his face.
"Walk!"
He flicked his sleeves and took the lead to leave the altar, not even caring about the remaining golden silkworms on it. He only called back the white dragon that was confronting the devil.
Tianwuzi's expression was equally ugly. After putting away the giant turtle, he followed Wan Tianming with a sullen expression.
On the other hand, except for the cold eyes, the dark and skinny old farmer behaved more calmly.
When evil spirits passed by each other, both sides were extremely vigilant and careful about each other.
But fortunately, although Manbeard was extremely arrogant, he didn't say anything to irritate the other party at this time. He just watched Wan Tianming and others gradually go away with a sneer, and finally disappeared out of the light mask.
"I let the blue thorn bird lurk at the entrance. If the righteous guy comes back, we will know it." The old man in Confucian shirt looked in the direction behind him and suddenly said this.
"In this case, I will also send two Tiandu corpses to ambush at the entrance. If they suddenly attack us, they can also resist for a while." Jiyin Patriarch rolled his eyes slightly and said with the same sinister smile.
After hearing this, layman Qingyi was startled at first, but then he looked calm and said nothing.
Then he saw his sleeves flicking, and a blue light the size of a fist flew out and soared into the sky.
The Jiyin Patriarch stretched out his hand and threw it on the ground, as if he had thrown something.
Two lines of black smoke came out, and then a fishy smell came out, and two tall monster corpses appeared in front of everyone.
"Go!" Jiyin Patriarch pointed solemnly at the entrance,
Immediately, the bodies of the two demon corpses became distorted and blurred, and then disappeared without a trace.
This scene reminded Han Li of the strange situation when the demon corpses suddenly appeared that day. After his heart froze, he couldn't help but feel a little more afraid of these demon corpses.
However, when Han Li's eyes fell on the golden silkworms lying on the altar and still shivering, he couldn't help but walked over curiously.
But before he could reach him, another person walked over quickly. Han Li looked sideways and saw that it was Xuan Gu who had been silent all this time.
He was a little surprised!
"What's going on? These golden silkworms are a rare and rare insect. Judging from their golden light just now, they must be of great virtue. Wan Tianming abandoned them without feeling any distress at all. This is a bit weird!" Barbarian Beard walked over.
asked casually.
"They have taken azure flowers. They borrowed this thing to forcibly improve their Taoism a lot, and they were able to lift the Void Heaven Cauldron a little. But now that the medicine has worn off, these golden silkworms are completely useless." Xuan Gu is only slightly there.
The giant silkworm inspected it for a while, then replied calmly.
"How can I lift the Xutian Cauldron with the help of golden silkworms? I borrowed this thing. Hehe! Wan Tianming will steal the chicken but lose the rice this time." After hearing Xuan Gu's words, Barbarian Beard couldn't help laughing.
said.
"Azure flower! I didn't expect that Wan Tianming would find this thing. I also thought about using this method. But unfortunately, I haven't found a single azure flower for so many years. But this junior of Brother Man actually knows about this flower. Look
He's not an unknown person! I wonder if Wu has ever heard of this person's name." Jiyin Patriarch walked over with his hands behind his back, but he changed the topic and suddenly stared at Xuan Gu's face and slowly said
asked.
"I just read more dead books. How can I be famous? Senior Wu is joking." Xuan Gu said softly with a smile.
"Really?" Ji Yin said indifferently. Perhaps because his suspicion was gone or because he was afraid of the bearded man beside him, he did not continue to ask. Instead, he turned around and walked to the big hole, looking down.
The blue light in the cave reflected his face blue, which looked extremely strange.
Han Li stood to one side and watched coldly, somewhat admiring Xuan Gu's forbearance.
He could actually face Ji Yin and still call him senior with a normal expression. It seems that the character of the old demon Xuan Gu is really terrifying!
But then again, except for Wu Chou, no one here is easy to fool. They are all old foxes who have lived for more than hundreds of years, and every one of them is extremely cunning.
Han Lizhi was thinking depressedly when he heard the old man in Confucian shirt say:
"Since these golden silkworms are useless, let's just destroy them to save them from being an eyesore here." After saying this, the old man turned his palm over, and a thorny blue ball appeared in his hand, and he was about to shoot it.
To those half-dead giant silkworms.
"Wait a minute! These golden silkworms are of great interest to me. Let me leave them to you!" Han Li glanced at the three giant silkworms with squinted eyes and said to the old man with a sudden movement in his heart.
"You want these things! Not only are they completely useless, but they also won't live long." The old man in Confucian shirt showed a hint of surprise and confusion.
"I have always been interested in these strange insects. Since they are not dead yet, I would like to keep them for a while and study them. I hope seniors can make it happen." Han Li said with a smile on his face.
After hearing what Han Li said, the old man in Confucian robes did not reply to Han Li immediately, but looked him up and down again, and then a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
This made Han Li feel anxious, wondering what the other party's intentions were.
"Ahem! I was also a casual cultivator back then. Naturally, I know that the casual cultivators in the alchemy stage are not as good as those monks of the same level from the big sects. They are indeed a bit embarrassed. Since little friend Han wants these wastes, then just put them away!"
The old man shook his head and said with some sigh. Obviously he wanted to figure out what he had done wrong!
When Han Li heard this, he rolled his eyes inwardly.
But he could only show embarrassment on his face and thank him repeatedly.
Then he took out an empty spirit beast bag and put away the three golden silkworms.
Judging from their appearance, Wan Tianming had erased their original consciousness of recognizing their master when they were abandoned. Therefore, Han Li pocketed them without any effort.
"Han Li, stop busying yourself with those messy things. Release the blood jade spider quickly, and I will see what level of spiritual beast it is. Then I will ask my fire python to provide some cooperation.
We must succeed in the first try!" Ji Yin looked at the entrance of the cave for a while, then called to Han Li without looking back, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
After hearing this, Han Li secretly frowned and walked over.
Upon hearing this, layman Qingyi and Manbeard looked at Han Li in unison.
"Don't worry, as long as you can take out the Xutian Cauldron, I will never treat you wrong as a teacher." Jiyin turned around and said to Han Li with a kind look on his face, fearing that he would not try his best.
But after Han Li heard these words, he felt a chill rising from his back.
