The two of them flew through the valley for three full days before finally arriving at Youli Valley. Along the way, Han Yi opened his eyes to the extreme, avoiding the level four monsters in the core area, and quietly rushed with Mei Kui.
Go to Youli Valley.
Entering Youli Valley, everything seemed to be quiet. The huge valley was pitch black, with black land and black mountain walls.
As we walked toward the interior of the valley, more and more skeletons gradually appeared. Each one of those skeletons was larger than the last. It seemed that none of the monsters that died here were lower than level three.
When we reached the end of the valley, a huge cave appeared on the black mountain wall. The cave was pitch black and bottomless.
Approaching the cave, Han Yi saw that the cave was filled with human bones. Some of those human bones were actually wearing the disciple uniforms of the Lingfu. It was obviously a disciple who had taken over the mission, but accidentally fell here.
Seeing those bones, Han Yi was secretly shocked. It seemed that this seemingly simple task of collecting herbs was not that easy to complete.
Han Yi and Mei Kui quietly hid behind the boulder on the side of the cave, their thoughts changing rapidly.
"This centrifugal flower was born in a place where yin energy gathers, and is guarded by night bats. Although those night bats are only level two, they are gregarious monsters, numbering in the thousands."
"Master, night bats gather in dark places. Their attributes are dark and they are afraid of light and fire, so they dare not leave the cave during the day. If we want to collect centrifugal flowers, we must act during the day. Night bats are sleeping during the day
, as long as you are careful and don't disturb them, everything will be fine." Meikui said.
"I know, but most of the spiritual attributes I cultivate are incompatible with the dark attribute. Even if I hide my aura, there is no guarantee that I won't be discovered by those beasts." Han Yi frowned.
"Then let my subordinates do the work for us. Our charm-level assassins are always good at concealing aura, and the spiritual techniques we practice are also of dark attribute. Entering here will be like a fish entering the sea, and it will be easy to move."
Han Yi thought for a while and found that apart from this method, there seemed to be no other solution.
"Well, let's do that. I will be here to pick you up. If you are discovered, exit immediately."
"Yes, Master." Mei Kui moved and turned into a black shadow and swept into the cave, without causing any ripples in the darkness.
Han Yi looked at the place where Meikui disappeared, with a smile on his face, but he couldn't tell what he was thinking in his heart.
After entering the cave, Meikui walked all the way inside. After a quarter of an hour, he stopped, leaned against the mountain wall, and listened.
Rustling, rustling, subtle friction sounds resounded throughout the cave, and to Meikui it sounded like a surging ocean tide.
Although he couldn't see it, he knew that the top wall of the cave must be densely covered with half-meter-sized black bats. Those bats curled up, folded their wings, and slept with their eyes closed.
Once they were alerted, thousands of night bats would swamp him. With his level of cultivation, he couldn't hold on for long, so he could only do his best to restrain his aura and prevent those night bats from finding him.
Fortunately, the Demonic Spirit Technique is almost unique in the world in terms of concealing aura, so he is not worried about being discovered by those night bats.
Meikui cautiously sneaked into the depths of the cave. After a while, his eyes lit up. In the distance of the cave, two small flowers with a faint blue aura bloomed in the darkness.
"Centrifugal flowers." Meikui was delighted, but he still did not speed up his pace. He just approached slowly, carefully picked the two centrifugal flowers and put them into the space ring.
With the harvest in hand, Meikui continued to move forward. After a while, more blue light spots appeared in the darkness, which were the auras of centrifugal flowers.
In just half an hour, Meikui has collected dozens of centrifugal flowers. Originally, according to Han Yi's instructions, he only needed to collect twenty centrifugal flowers, but these centrifugal flowers contain amazing dark attribute aura, which is very important to him.
It's quite a help. If he absorbs the spiritual energy, he can hope to break through to the realm of Lingzong.
While Mei Kui kept collecting centrifugal flowers, deep in the cave, something that had fallen on the ceiling opened its eyes, and a foot-long stream of blood shot out from its pupils.
That thing looked at Meikui in the darkness from a distance of several thousand meters, taking in his movements completely.
In a rock crevice, more than a dozen centrifugal flowers bloomed quietly, and the dim light emitted illuminated a large black space.
Meikui was overjoyed and waved his hand to put the centrifugal flowers into the space ring. Just when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered a subtle sound of breaking through the air behind him, and a feeling of extreme danger exploded in his mind.
His hair stood on end and he ducked to avoid it. With a bang, a black air blade several meters long flew past his body and struck the stone wall. The stone wall exploded and gravel flew into the air.
Seeing the result of the air blade, Meikui's pupils tightened, and a large bottomless hole was directly blasted out of the mountain wall. Such destructive power could only be achieved by the attacks of Lingzong-level monks.
"Jie Jie, it's really brave that a human dares to go deep here." Such a sentence sounded in the cave.
Meikui was shocked and her body tensed up completely. The voice sounded so cold, mixed with inhuman madness.
Whooshing, there was a slight explosion in the air. Meikui used all his spiritual power, and his figure flew like a ghost. The two incoming air blades missed, and the ground exploded one after another.
Meikui didn't dare to fight with the thing in the darkness, so she turned around and rushed out of the cave, exploding without reservation.
The being in the darkness looked at Meikui's leaving figure, with a pair of black membrane wings spread out from behind, laughed strangely, and chased after him.
Han Yi waited outside the cave, his eyes of insight fully opened, and his mental power went deep into the darkness. After a moment, he captured the highly moving figure of Meikui. Wherever he passed, the sleeping night bats in the cave woke up one after another, overwhelming the sky.
's attack.
"Squeak, squeak."
"Hey, what is that?" Han Yi asked in shock. Behind the group of night bats, there was a strange creature that moved at a high speed. It was much faster than Mei Kui.
In just a few moments, the strange existence caught up with Meikui, waving dozens of terrifying air blades. Meikui dodged while drawing his sword to block, and every time those air blades exploded under his long sword.
Every now and then, a huge force would surge along the long sword, causing his blood to surge and make him vomit blood.
Meikui used the power of those air blade attacks to shoot out backwards, tap his toes, and flew away. He smelled a strong smell of death on that thing, so he could only run away and did not dare to fight with it.
.
Han Yi can only stand outside the cave and cannot go deep into it. Once he steps into the cave, he will inevitably wake up the sleeping night bats. At that time, he and Meikui will be surrounded by night bats, and it will be impossible to escape if they want to.
It was impossible, so he could only wait for Mei Kui to come out.
The Eye of Insight was paying attention to everything in the cave. Meikui ran away desperately, and the terrifying existence behind him was chasing thousands of night bats. That thing didn't seem to want to kill Meikui so quickly. He was playing cat and mouse.
In the game, you have to wait until the mouse is tired of running away before killing it.
Meikui ran away all the way when he suddenly saw the golden sunlight shining on the corner not far away. He was overjoyed and came out of the cave to join forces with Han Yi. That existence may not be their opponent, and the night bat is afraid of the sun and does not dare to do so during the day.
There is nothing to be afraid of when going out.
"Jiejie, hope is already within reach, but it's a pity that you can't catch it."
The being in the darkness gave a strange laugh, its membrane wings shook, and its speed suddenly increased. In an instant, it appeared behind Mei Kui and struck with a claw.
Meikui was shocked and pale, his scalp was numb, and the sound of the sharp claw tearing the air clearly reached his ears, so fast that he had no time to react.
"Damn it, let's fight." Meikui didn't look back at all, swung her sword with her backhand, and the long black sword stabbed the person behind her at a tricky angle.
Hey, his left shoulder was pierced by sharp claws and the bones were broken.
"puff."
When that being waved his claws and blocked Meikui's attack, he flashed and appeared in front of Meikui's eyes, like a completely dark shadow. Behind the human-shaped shadow, a pair of membrane wings spread out, blocking his sight.
Meikui was terrified in her heart, wondering what kind of monster this was.
"Jie Jie, I haven't eaten blood food for a long time. As a dark attribute cultivator, your flesh and blood is a great tonic for me."
"What on earth are you?" Mei Kui forced herself to calm down and asked coldly. Her voice sounded a little trembling.
"I, I am not a thing, I am the Night Demon, the great Night Demon." The existence said, and a claw struck, trying to pierce Mei Kui's head.
Clang, the sound of the long sword being unsheathed resounded in the cave, echoing endlessly. Feeling the huge crisis, the Night Demon turned around and swung his claws to collide with a silver light.
A surge of power surged forward, knocking him back dozens of meters away. His claws were torn and blood flowed, obviously unable to withstand the powerful collision just now.
"Master." Mei Kui looked surprised when she saw Han Yi's figure.
"Let's talk after we get out." Han Yi swung his sword, and dozens of sword rays with the power of thunder blasted out. Immediately, hundreds of night bats died under the attack of those sword rays, and their corpses fell.
The two people quickly rushed out of the cave, stopped dozens of meters away, looked at the cave exit, and waited for the terrifying existence.
"Yes, very good. I haven't encountered such a powerful body in a long time. I wonder if I will break through to the fourth level directly if I swallow your flesh and blood?"
A rough male voice came from the cave, like iron and stone rubbing against each other. After a moment, a figure slowly walked out of the cave. Countless night bats in the cave screamed and flapped their wings. The sound was so loud and overwhelming to Han Yi's ears.
The self-proclaimed night devil actually looks exactly like a human being. His upper body is pale, with no trace of blood, and his face is the same, like plain white silk. It has pointed ears, sharp fangs, and is blood-colored.
's eyes.
Behind his back, a pair of membrane wings were fully folded, and they were exactly the same as those of night bats.
Seeing the appearance of Night Demon clearly, Han Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, but felt a little shocked in his heart. He knew this person. He had seen this person's portrait when he accepted the mission.
