The two were evenly matched, and the sky and the earth were their battlefields. However, Ji Xing had other things to do. After watching the fight for a few times, he left the place.
There were other monks watching this fight, but they ran away from the battlefield while fighting, and most of them were not interested in catching up to see the result.
If you have this spare time, why not look for opportunities elsewhere? You can only visit this secret place once in your life, so you can't waste this great opportunity.
"Senior Brother Gu." Tao Ying suddenly called to the person in front of her.
Gu Yuqi stopped and looked back, "What's the matter?"
"Your cultivation level is much higher than mine, and it would be a hindrance for me to follow you. And I also want to experience it by myself, so..."
Gu Yuqi raised his sword eyebrows slightly, "Experience alone?"
With Tao Ying's cultivation, she could barely protect herself in the secret realm. It was hard to say whether she could last for half a year if she acted alone.
Tao Ying met Gu Yuqi's scrutinizing gaze, lowered her head to look at the ground with a guilty conscience, and nodded, "Yes, so senior brother, you can go about your business, but it's time for me to look for opportunities alone."
Gu Yuqi thought for a moment and said, "Then be careful."
It can be protected for a while, but it cannot be protected for a while. It is better to wait for her to grow up so that she can be truly worry-free.
But he still said a few words, "If you encounter a danger that cannot be solved, call your fellow disciples nearby for help."
Tao Ying responded repeatedly, "Okay, I understand. Senior brother, go and do your work."
Gu Yuqi noticed the slight hint of urging in her tone and glanced over briefly, then nodded slightly and turned around to leave.
After Gu Yuqi left, Tao Ying fixed her gaze in the direction of the battlefield and hurriedly chased after him.
As for Tong Yan, she used Xiao Jinjin's magic to deceive the three people who were chasing her away, and then she quietly sneaked into the water and hid.
After they flew away, I wanted to go out and leave quickly, but I thought that if they found something wrong, they would definitely come back to investigate, so I simply moved under the water and sneaked downstream.
The river went down smoothly. Tong Yan didn't know how long he had walked, but he felt that the river was very long and the water was getting deeper and deeper. Especially when it reached the side of the mountain gorge, the water bottom was even deeper, and the ground was so dark that it was impossible to see the bottom.
After taking a quick look, she planned to leave, but she found that the spiritual energy below was suddenly stronger than elsewhere. When she was taking a closer look, a huge mouse suddenly emerged from underneath, waving its limbs and swimming towards the water.
Could it be that there really is a hole down there that leads somewhere else?
Tong Yan hesitated for a moment, lowered his body, and decided to investigate.
Not long after diving, she found a cave that could barely accommodate the next person bending down to pass through. Moreover, she swam in, so the space was even more spacious.
Following the cave into the mountain, the passage went diagonally upwards. In about a quarter of an hour, the waterway reached the end.
There were crystals in the cave that gave off a faint light, so her vision was fairly clear.
This is a natural cave, with stalactites, stone curtains and stone flowers everywhere. There are many traces of animal activity in these gaps. There should be many rats making their home here.
Continuing to walk forward, although you can occasionally encounter Shuoshu on the road, the spiritual energy you sensed before has disappeared, and you can no longer capture any fluctuations.
But once Tong Yan has reached this point, there is no reason to go back the way he came, so he calms down and continues exploring.
In just half an hour, she finally found something useful, only to be chased madly by a den of rat demons.
She didn't do anything. She just saw a bunch of sparkling top-grade spirit stones and carefully moved them into her storage ring. It wasn't something crazy.
Besides, she left a small pile of them behind. Although it was just what she didn't have time to take away, there was still some left, so the whole clan wouldn't tirelessly chase her for thousands of miles, right?
It is said that this group of rat demons are generally of high levels because of the spiritual stone mines piled up in their nests. There are many second and third level ones, and she has also seen one or two of the fourth level ones.
It’s not because Tong Yan said he wouldn’t kill them, but because rats have a strong reproductive capacity, based on the time the secret realm was opened, they would have a hundred years to work hard to grow the team.
She really killed one batch, and another batch came, killing them endlessly. Trying to cut off the rat swarm with her own strength was simply a daydream.
There was no way to kill them all, so naturally there was only one way to escape from the cave. However, the cave had already been dug into a maze by the rats, and it was no surprise that she... got lost.
Many roads ahead were occupied by rats. She wanted to run upwards, but suddenly a fourth-level rat quickly dug a hole in front of her, forcing her to turn downwards.
Tong Yan was running and killing, and when she saw that there was no way out, the ground beneath her feet was empty, and she fell out of control.
The rat demons were densely blocking the entrance of the cave, but no one dared to follow them. Then a powerful demonic force was released, and the rats blocking the entrance of the cave didn't even have a chance to react. They were directly shocked to death and fell into pieces.
The rat demon who followed behind and managed to survive was frightened by the pressure of the high-level demonic beast, and finally ran away unwillingly.
Tong Yan hadn't noticed that the rats were not following her. As soon as she landed, a force comparable to the Nascent Soul struck directly. Her body hit the stone wall hard, and her internal organs were suddenly displaced. She was so shocked that she gushed out violently.
A mouthful of blood.
"Ahem..." Tong Yan coughed uncontrollably.
Her body rolled down in a corner, and the monsters in the cave had no time to take care of her at the moment. No, it should be said that Tong Yan was an innocent victim from the beginning to the end.
In this huge cave, there was a monk fighting with a monster. This monster looked like a long snake, but it had four legs. The big hole she just fell into was its long tail that was accidentally pulled out.
Taking out the elixir and swallowing it, Tong Yan took advantage of the recovery time to observe the situation in the cave.
This underground cave is very huge, allowing the huge snake body to swing freely. The most eye-catching thing in the cave, apart from the fighting monks and monsters, is the most dazzling golden light above.
Just when she was about to carefully identify what kind of treasure it was, a black shadow flew over like a cannonball. The next scene was similar to what she had just seen, slamming into the stone wall and knocking down a pile of rubble.
A monk who can fight against a seventh-level peak monster will definitely not be a good person. Tong Yan feels very bad at this moment. What if he finds out about her, thinks she wants to seize the treasure, and kills her first!
After the dust dispersed, the man moved his body, which made her heart immediately rise. Regardless of her recovery, she quickly stepped aside and held her sword on guard.
At this time, the python roared due to the deep sword wound on its body, opened its mouth, and a sheet of ice and snow roared towards it.
The monk didn't know whether he didn't notice her or was too late to take care of her. He jumped up and rushed forward to face the attack.
The moment he jumped up, Tong Yan saw his face clearly. This person turned out to be Gu Yuqi!
Isn't he with Tao Ying? Why did he suddenly appear here?
But judging from the way he was fighting the monster, it seemed that he was here first.
Thinking of this, Tong Yan was silent in his heart.
