Chapter 716: Could it be that Uncle Master is afraid?
Beside a puddle overgrown with weeds in the dense forest, Liu Yu was holding a thin white jade bowl against the fangs of an arm-thick, nearly ten-foot-long snake with golden circles on its back, squeezing out dark green thick liquid from the fangs.
Thick liquid.
This snake is the fourth-level "Golden Ringed Spirit Snake" that Liu Yu just killed. This snake is quite rare. Its venom is highly toxic and can quickly erode the meridians of the human body.
If you are bitten by this snake and the incense stick is not dissolved in time, the Taoist base will be seriously damaged. However, the snake venom can also be used as medicine and can be used to refine several high-grade elixirs.
This continuous dense forest is surrounded by water and is overgrown with shrubs and weeds as tall as a man. A wide variety of rare medicinal materials grow in it.
Along the way, Liu Yu picked a large number of snake berries, hundreds of years of wild ginseng, zhicao and other elixirs. The day before yesterday, he also dug up a huge "blood-spotted black taro".
After setting off from "Youyatan", the team searched for various rare medicinal materials in the forest while heading towards the reef marked on the map.
Due to such a delay, the originally expected three days have passed, but looking at the map, we still have about half a day to go from that reef beach.
After squeezing out the last drop of snake venom, Liu Yu stood up and carefully poured half a bowl of dark green venom into a red jade bottle, sealed the mouth of the bottle with magic, and put it into a storage bag.
As for the corpse of the Golden Ring Spirit Snake, it was dragged aside by Bai Niang. Starting from the head of the snake, it was swallowed into the belly bit by bit and began to enjoy this "delicious food" delivered to the door.
"This is?" Liu Yu took out the "Qiankun Disk". In addition to the two light spots on the left and right representing the moon and the heavenly heritage, another light spot appeared in front of the outer circle of the Bagua Kanyu Disk. This light spot was exactly
Move quickly towards yourself.
Liu Yu couldn't help but be startled. This was obviously a member of another team from the sect, because the other members of the team were all spread out in front of each other, searching for spiritual materials at intervals. It was impossible for them to suddenly appear in front of them.<
/p>
After a while, there were several more light spots ahead, appearing behind the earliest light spot. That's right, this was another sect picking team headed by the Xiahou family.
"Master!" At this time, Yue'er and Tianyi also discovered this situation and rushed to Liu Yu's side.
"You go and inform Uncle Xuanqing and the others!" Liu Yu told Yue'er and Tianyi to inform the others, and they came to meet up and take back Bai Niang, who had swallowed the whole "Golden Ring Spirit Snake", back into her spirit beast bag. p>
Then he held the "Qiankun Plate" and headed towards the front light spot.
…
"Senior Brother Wei!" According to the point of "Qiankun Disk", Liu Yu soon met the first light spot that appeared. From a distance, it turned out to be Senior Brother Shangshou, and he stepped forward with a smile and said.
"It turns out to be Junior Brother Liu!" Wei Ping couldn't help but smile when he saw the person coming. When he went to look around, he suddenly found traces of another group of people from the sect. After hearing the news, he informed Xia Houkong and others, and took the first step.
Came here.
"Brother, what you get after entering the secret realm is not bad!" After the battle in "Black Blood Valley", the two of them moved around from time to time and were considered good friends. This time they participated in the secret realm together again. Although they were not in the same team, they were on the way here.
We also had a great time chatting.
"Hey! It's hard to explain in just one sentence!" Wei Ping couldn't help but shook his head, and then revealed the encounters in the "stream and reef beach" one by one. He successively killed four of his fellow disciples. It was a disastrous defeat. Ten days had passed in the secret realm, and the entire team had lost even one "Snake King Fruit".
"None of them were picked.
Although it was not that nothing was gained, as the team that defeated the Spirit Beast Sect even captured one, it had nothing to do with ordinary team members like them.
"This!" Liu Yu couldn't help but frown after hearing this. Senior Brother Wei and his team unexpectedly encountered people from the Spiritual Beast Sect and the Tianluo Tantric Sect. Four brothers from the same sect died in the battle, and "Stream Reef Beach" had also been destroyed by the Tianluo Tantric Sect.
Occupied with the Spiritual Beast Sect.
"Oh! This is not Junior Brother Xuanyu!" While the two were talking, Xia Houkong and others had arrived. When Xia Houyi saw that it was Liu Yu, he stepped forward and said in a strange tone.
"Greetings to Uncle Pufeng!" Liu Yu paid no attention to Xia Houyi and bowed to Xia Houkong.
"Yes!" Xia Houkong nodded slightly in agreement.
"Where's Uncle Xuanqing!"
"Junior brother, how many people are there in your team?" Di Qing's face showed joy, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked Liu Yu repeatedly.
When Xia Houkong saw this, his face could not help but sink.
"I have asked Yue'er and Tianyi to inform Uncle Xuanqing and the others. They will be here soon. After entering the secret realm, unfortunately two brothers were killed and there were eight people in the team!" Liu Yu quickly replied. Although he rarely interacts with the senior brother Chifeng in front of him in the sect, his reputation in the sect is too great, so he cannot be cautious.
"There are eight people, that's enough!" Di Qing couldn't help clenching his hands.
After hearing this, Xia Houkong's face became even more ugly.
…
Soon, Xuan Qing arrived one after another with others, and a brief exchange of greetings was inevitable. The heavy losses suffered by Xia Houkong's team made the encounter between the two teams less joyful and more heavy.
After a while, Di Qing pulled Xia Houkong and Xuan Qing aside, saying that he wanted to discuss the next action.
"That group of monks should still be on the reef at this time. Let's rush there now and we will definitely catch him off guard!" When the three of them came to the side, Di Qing immediately expressed his thoughts.
"Based on the condition of the previous 'Snake Corpse Devil Flower', the fruit has almost absorbed enough snake blood at this time and is indeed ready for harvesting."
"But even if we set off now, it will still take half a day to reach the reef beach. By then, the group of monks will have disappeared, so why go through this trip in vain." Xia Houkong explained slowly, obviously not agreeing to return to the "stream"
"Reef Beach" proposal.
"Junior sister, you think so!" Wu Forgot glanced at Xuan Qing and said.
"If so..."
"Let's not talk about whether the snake fruit is ready to be picked. Even if the group of monks killed the snakes and picked the snake king fruit, they had to surround and suppress a group of ferocious pythons and deal with the large number of corpses left by the snakes.
It takes a lot of time."
"If we set off now, we might be able to catch up. Even if they have left the "reef beach", they won't be able to go far." Before Xuan Qing could speak, Di Qing interjected.
"This..." Xuan Qing couldn't express his position at the moment.
"What my nephew said is only a slight possibility, but instead of wasting half a day on this trip, it's better to seize the time and search elsewhere."
"Master nephew, don't be anxious. It's still early to start the secret realm. I will definitely be able to help my nephew find another Snake King Fruit."
"Hmph! Uncle Master said it nicely. Before entering the secret realm, Di went to the Scripture Collection Pavilion and read a lot of ancient books and notes about this "Jinhua Secret Realm"."
"Every time the secret realm here is about to be opened, it is because the entrance to this small world gradually overlaps with the Dongyuan world. Stimulated by the overflowing space turbulence, the "Snake Corpse Magic Grass" that meets the conditions in this secret realm will bloom together." "This is also the fundamental reason why every time the secret realm is opened, more or less every sect can pick the Snake King Fruit."
"And most of the Snake King Fruit harvested by each sect were harvested in the previous fifteen days, because within fifteen days, the high-yield Snake King Fruit locations marked on the map will be searched by each team." p>
"Occasionally, some snake king fruits that have not been searched by the teams will fall into the mouths of the snake kings that were born due to the snakes devouring each other once they mature. Therefore, the chance of finding the "snake king fruit" will only get lower and lower.
”
"Now that we know that those monks have at least one in their hands, why not go and snatch it instead of looking around like headless flies?" Di Qing said with an unhappy expression.
"Master Nephew can't bear to swallow this. Uncle Master can understand, but with the addition of Junior Sister Xuanqing's team, we only have one more person than them."
"You have seen those Tianluo monks before, and they are not easy to mess with. My nephew also failed to get a favor from the monk named "Wu Ai". Even if we find them, we will lose nothing except losing both sides.
Good thing!" Xia Houkong couldn't help but persuade him with sincerity.
"What uncle said is wrong! That "Wu Ai" is indeed not weak, but because there were too few of us before, I was afraid that you, uncle, wouldn't be able to hold on, so Di Mou said in a hurry to attack. This time there are uncle Xuanqing and the others.
Now, just leave this person to Di!" Di Qing said disapprovingly.
The last time he fought against this "Wu Ai", he suffered a small loss, but it was because of his impatience. If he fought again and used his powerful "Ling Burning" characteristic to slowly fight with this person, he would win.
The heart can win this monk.
"Judging from the last fight, there are only three of them who have reached the Nine Palaces. They are Wu Ai and another high-ranking war monk. The other one is the Suo family monk from the Spirit Beast Sect. However, this person is not alone.
The spirit-cultivating beast has been hacked to death by Di, so there is no danger!"
"Di Mou entangled "Wu Ai", the two uncles first killed the Jiufu monk from the Suo family as soon as possible, and then joined forces to kill the last Gao Zhan monk. The others only need to try their best to drag their opponents away. In this way, we must
Win." Di Qing said with a fierce look in his eyes.
Di Qing, who has been practicing so far, has never been as aggrieved as he is today. Even if he loses half of the remaining pill energy in Zifu, he will still let go of the bad breath in his heart.
And if he could kill Wu Ai, the sect would definitely receive a heavy reward, and he would be able to take back the "Snake King Fruit". He would kill him no matter what.
"Having said that, there are too many variables in a life-and-death fight. Even if the war situation develops as my nephew said, if those monks want to leave, it will be difficult for us to retain them, which will only increase casualties."
"It's better to listen to Pindao and seize the time to search for snake king fruit elsewhere, what do you think, junior sister!"
Xia Houkong once again looked at Xuanqing with expectant eyes, thinking that Junior Sister Xuanqing had also obtained a Snake King Fruit, and like him, she was unwilling to do such a risky thing and waste her own elixir energy in vain.
"Uncle, aren't you afraid? Before we set off on this trip, did the sect master tell us not to jeopardize the sect's reputation? It is not the sect's style to retreat without fighting when encountering an enemy."
Di Qing finally saw that Xia Houkong was simply stingy with his elixir energy and deliberately avoided fighting, and then said bluntly with a cold face.
Although he is now worshiping under the second elder, he does not accept this affection in his heart. With his qualifications, it does not matter which elder he worships under.
On weekdays, I just stay close to Xiahou Kong's family. When I say these words now, I can see that I don't care about Xiahou Kong's face at all.
"You...!" Xia Houkong couldn't help but blush, and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Senior nephew, look at what you said. Senior brother is just afraid that this trip will be in vain!"
Just half a day."
"Then go!" What else could Xia Houkong say? He couldn't afford the reputation of being greedy for life and afraid of death.
I just hope that those Tian Luo Fan monks will retreat as soon as possible. If they do encounter them, it will be another fierce battle. It is not that he is really greedy for life and fear of death, but that the time left for him is limited.
Unlike Di Qing, he has plenty of time, no matter how much elixir he consumes, he will not be afraid.
After leaving this secret realm, Xia Houkong will soon have to go into seclusion to survive the tribulation. At this moment, it is natural to have one more thing to do rather than one less thing to do. Too much elixir energy will be consumed, so there is no need to survive the tribulation, and he can just wait to die! p>
The three people immediately announced the results of the discussion, and then everyone in Huang Shengzong jumped on the flying swords and galloped towards the "Stream Reef Beach" in a group.
Knowing that they might fight against the Tianluo people next, everyone looked solemn. Among them, Lingcai, Lingchen, and Fenshan had the lowest cultivation levels, and their faces were even pale.
