A month later, in a vast sea, the water was black.
The wind howled past, creating waves more than ten feet high, and the sky was clear.
A green light appeared in the sky and flew towards here quickly.
Not long after, the green light stopped over a deserted island. The green light turned out to be a flying boat with shining light. Han Changming and twelve other foundation-building cultivators were standing on it.
"Friend Li, are there any sea apes here?"
Han Changming looked at the deserted island below and asked curiously.
The island is less than fifty miles in radius, with three inconspicuous earthen slopes and scattered black trees growing on them.
Li Yutang nodded and said, "I saw it with my own eyes, but I can't say whether someone else got there first."
Sea monkeys often migrate, and he is not sure that they have always been here.
"Whether there are other monks who have arrived first, wouldn't it be clear if we check?"
Du Donglai slapped the spirit beast bag, and a green light flew out. It was a green seagull about ten feet in size. The wings of the green seagull were about ten feet in size when spread out. It had a very small head and extremely sharp claws.
A blue seagull circled on the beach, making a sharp bird cry, grabbed a piece of sand, circled, and flew back to Du Donglai.
Du Donglai opened his palms, the blue seagull loosened its claws, and some brown sand fell into Du Donglai's hands.
"Someone has gotten there first. My blue gull is very sensitive to the smell of blood. Even if the blood has dried for a month, it can't hide it."
Han Changming was a little surprised. It was good to have an experienced old disciple leading the way. Otherwise, they would have waited in vain for several days.
"Senior Brother Du's Qingu bird never makes mistakes. The bloodstains should have been left within a month. Either someone was fighting here, or other cultivators left them while capturing sea apes. Let's go to the island and check. We should be able to find some clues."
A young woman in a blue palace dress explained. She was tall and had a spirit beast bag tied around her waist.
Liu Fei is in the middle stage of foundation building. She and Du Donglai have gone out to sea many times to hunt monsters and are very experienced.
Li Yutang made a hand gesture and the green flying boat slowly landed on the beach.
As Du Donglai expected, they found some obvious footprints on the beach, which were obviously left by sea apes.
"It seems that there are no sea apes here. Where can we go to find monsters?"
Han Daobin frowned and said, he thought he would gain something, but it turned out to be all in vain.
"The open sea is different from the inner sea. There are many terrifying monsters. Now is the season when sea monkeys surface to mate. If we go to a few more places, we should be able to find some sea monkeys."
Du Donglai put away the blue gull and began to explain.
"Let's listen to Senior Brother Du and go somewhere else."
Li Yutang agreed, and with a pinch of his fingers, a green flying boat carrying all the cultivators flew high into the sky.
Before they flew far, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded, and several beams of light appeared in the sky, flying towards them quickly.
Li Yutang frowned. The most taboo in the outer sea is to meddle in other people's business. He has no interest in meddling in other people's business.
He was about to avoid it when a female voice full of surprise suddenly sounded: "Fellow Daoist in front, I am a cultivator from the Tianyin Sect, my master is Fairy Qianling, and the cultivators from Penglai Island are chasing us. I hope you can help me, and I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Li Yutang disagreed, but Du Donglai stopped him.
"Junior Brother Li, Fairy Qianling is quite famous in the outer sea. If you are really a disciple of Fairy Qianling, it would be nice to have a good relationship with her."
Li Yutang had just arrived and didn't know who Fairy Qianling was, but Du Donglai and Liu Fei knew her very well.
The Tianyin Sect is an immortal cultivation sect in the outer sea, affiliated with the Righteous Alliance. Fairy Qianling is the leader of the Tianyin Sect. She has extraordinary qualifications and many admirers.
A gossiper compiled a book of flowers, listing hundreds of female cultivators with extraordinary beauty and good talents. Fairy Qianling was ranked ninth in the book, and it was rumored that she had a great chance of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.
At this time, more than a dozen beams of light came to the front, and a light green leaf magic weapon flew quickly. A pretty girl in a green dress with an apricot face and rosy cheeks stood on the leaf magic weapon, and her expression was panic.
Behind her were several young and beautiful female monks.
An inky black flying boat followed behind, with eight foundation-building monks standing on it. Leading the way was a tall, middle-aged man with a sly look. There was a black mole the size of a soybean at the corner of his mouth, which was particularly conspicuous.
"Chen Yanchuan, it's you."
When Du Donglai saw the middle-aged man, his face darkened and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Chen Yanchuan was quite famous in the outer sea, but it was a bad reputation. He was extremely lustful and had killed many female monks, so he was hated by most of the female monks.
Chen Yanchuan's strength is not weak. He has reached the late stage of foundation building. The most important point is that he is the disciple of the Yin and Yang Evils.
The Yin-Yang Twins is a general term for two Nascent Soul cultivators. They are notorious for their viciousness and overbearing behavior. If it weren't for the name of the Yin-Yang Twins, Chen Yanchuan would have died long ago.
Du Donglai had fought with Chen Yanchuan in his early years and suffered a great loss. His Taoist partner also fell into Chen Yanchuan's hands and his whereabouts are unknown. In all likelihood, he has been killed.
"I was wondering who dared to meddle in other people's business. It turns out to be you, a loser. You escaped last time. I hope you won't abandon your female companion and run away again this time! Haha."
When Chen Yanchuan saw Du Donglai, his eyes narrowed and his face was full of disdain.
Du Donglai was so angry that his face turned red. His Taoist partner had stayed behind to cover him and no one knew whether he was alive or dead. This incident would always be a pain in his heart. He wished he could cut Chen Yanchuan into pieces, but he knew very well that he was no match for Chen Yanchuan.
"Junior Brother Li, Fellow Daoist Han, this man is called Chen Yanchuan, the disciple of the Yin Yang Twin Demons. The Yin Yang Twin Demons are notorious demonic cultivators on Penglai Island."
Liu Fei explained via voice transmission, his expression solemn.
Even though they have a large number of people, Chen Yanchuan is the disciple of the Yin-Yang Demons after all, and he must have powerful treasures on him. If a real fight breaks out, they may not be Chen Yanchuan's match.
Chen Yanchuan's gaze swept across Li Yutang and Han Changming, and a hint of fear flashed across his eyes. The other side had more people and more power. This was the territory of the Righteous Alliance. The Righteous Alliance and Penglai Island had always been at odds. With the existence of the demon clan, the two major forces remained restrained, but there were many small-scale fights.
"Fairy Chen, we'll see each other next time if we're lucky. We'll always have a chance to be a loving couple."
Chen Yanchuan grinned lewdly, his obscene eyes swept over the girl in the green skirt, and with a pinch of magic, the black flying boat suddenly burst out with a dazzling black light and flew back along the way it came.
Not long after, Chen Yanchuan and others disappeared into the horizon.
Liu Fei and Du Donglai breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Li Yutang and others had just arrived and didn't know how terrifying Chen Yanchuan was. They had fought with Chen Yanchuan before and suffered great losses.
"My younger sister Chen Qianqian, thank you for saving my life. I will definitely visit you when I am free someday. This is just a small token of my appreciation."
The girl in the green skirt introduced herself, took out a heavy green storage bag and threw it to Li Yutang.
No female monk who fell into Chen Yanchuan's hands escaped alive. If they had not met Li Yutang and others, they would definitely not have escaped Chen Yanchuan's clutches.
Li Yutang returned the storage bag to Chen Qianqian and said with a smile, "Fairy Chen, you are too polite. It's just a small favor. Don't mention it."
For the sake of Fairy Qianling, Li Yutang had no intention of accepting Chen Qianqian's belongings. After all, they didn't do anything.
"That won't do. If you hadn't helped us, we would have died. Do you think we are inferior to you, fellow Taoist?"
Chen Qianqian said with a frown.
Li Yutang could refuse it, but she couldn't refuse to give it.
Li Yutang couldn't refuse, so he accepted the storage bag and introduced himself.
"Friend Li, you are going to hunt monsters, right? I encountered some sea apes when I was escaping, you can try your luck."
Chen Qianqian told Li Yutang the location where she found the sea ape, which was not far from here, less than a thousand miles away.
"Thank you, Fairy Chen."
Li Yutang was overjoyed and expressed gratitude.
"We have other things to do, so we'll take our leave now. You'd better go there later to catch the sea ape. Maybe Chen Yanchuan hasn't left yet."
Chen Qianqian gave a warning, and as she made a gesture of incantation, the leaf magic weapon under her feet emitted a glow of light and flew high into the sky, soon disappearing into the sky.
"Let's go too! Capture the sea monkey and make a quick decision."
After Li Yutang finished speaking, the blue flying boat's light increased rapidly and flew towards the sky.
In less than half an hour, they arrived at their destination.
Han Changming narrowed his eyes and looked towards the island below.
The island is not large, with a radius of about ten miles. It is covered with gray-white stones. There are a dozen coconut trees scattered on the island. The terrain is flat. If the sea tide rises, the island is expected to be submerged by the sea.
Li Yutang controlled the green flying boat to slowly land on the beach. After careful inspection, they indeed found some footprints of ape-like monsters.
They set up a formation, cast a spell and hid themselves.
The day passed quickly. On the second day, the sun rose and the golden sunlight poured down on the deserted island. A salty sea breeze blew and countless yellow sands were blown away.
More than a dozen heads emerged from the sea one after another. They were actually half-meter-tall sea apes with blue hair all over their bodies and bared their teeth. They all walked towards the beach.
Sea monkeys have low intelligence. Most of them are first-level, with intelligence equivalent to that of a two or three-year-old child. They are easy to catch and tame, and have good sales.
They were playing on the beach, lying in the sun, or walking towards the coconut trees.
At this moment, a man's voice suddenly sounded: "Do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, nine white rays of light flew out from the ground, gathered together, and turned into a white light curtain over an acre in size, covering a dozen sea apes inside.
A large amount of white mist gushed out from the white light curtain, the temperature dropped sharply, the ground froze quickly, and a large amount of snowflakes fell from the sky.
A dozen sea apes suddenly panicked. They rushed into the sea one after another, but crashed into the white light curtain, making muffled bangs.
They swung their fists and smashed the white light curtain, but the white light curtain did not move at all.
They opened their mouths and sprayed out blue water arrows, which hit the white light curtain, but the white light curtain remained motionless.
They either used water arrows or punched them, but it was completely useless.
The temperature inside the white light curtain was getting lower and lower, the sea apes' resistance was getting weaker and weaker, and the snow on the ground was about a foot thick.
After a while, more than a dozen sea apes were frozen into ice sculptures.
Li Yutang removed the formation, took out the spirit beast bag, and took away the sea apes.
"Finally, we have gained something. It's worth coming all the way here."
Li Yutang was beaming with joy. A first-level sea ape could be sold for hundreds of spirit stones, and a second-level sea ape could be sold for a higher price.
Du Donglai smiled and said, "The outer seas are rich in monster resources. When we go out, we have to hunt more monsters. If we go out to sea for a few years, we can earn enough to cover our expenses for the next ten years if we are lucky. However, the risks are also high. If we encounter a third-level monster, we will be in trouble."
Liu Fei nodded and said, "There are risks in everything you do. You can even go astray when practicing! There is no such thing as absolutely safe."
"We are new here and there are many things we don't understand. We would like to ask Senior Brother Du and Senior Sister Liu to give us more guidance."
Li Yutang said sincerely that Du Donglai had rich experience in hunting monsters, and he should listen more to Du Donglai's opinions.
"It's still early, let's continue! Hunt more monsters, and then practice in seclusion for a few years."
Li Yutang summoned a green flying boat and carried everyone into the sky.
······
A year later, at noon, the sun was shining brightly and there was not a cloud in the sky.
The sea was calm, but then a gust of wind blew, and the sea water crashed against the rocks, splashing waves more than ten feet high.
On an island made up of more than a dozen huge reefs, two giant turtles emerged from the sea.
They have thick limbs, are covered in a dark green tortoise shell, and have red heads. Judging from their aura, they are obviously two second-level top-grade monsters, with strength equivalent to that of a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.
The value of the Pan Turtle is no less than that of the Sea Ape. This monster is huge in size, and its shell is an excellent material for refining defensive magic weapons.
They slowly crawled towards a black reef. After reaching the shore, they lay comfortably on the reef. The golden sunlight fell on their bodies, bringing them a touch of warmth.
At this moment, more than a dozen white lights suddenly flew out from near the reef and turned into a huge white light curtain, covering them.
The two turtles realized something was wrong and quickly fled into the sea, but they crashed into the white light curtain, which did not move at all.
They opened their mouths one after another, spewing out red flames as thick as a bowl, which hit the white light curtain, but the white light curtain remained motionless.
Two huge blue clams floated out of the sea. Han Changming and twelve other cultivators stood inside the blue clams. Each of them held a formation plate that was shining with white light in their hands and cast a spell.
The two turtles wanted to retract their heads into their shells. At this moment, a flash of inspiration appeared, and two iron chains shining with blue light fell from the sky and locked the turtles' heads, preventing them from retracting their heads into their shells.
The turtle struggled violently, spewing flames to attack the white hand.
The wind was blowing wildly, and countless snowflakes gathered together, turning into hundreds of white ice needles, hitting the heads of the two turtles.
Dense white ice needles hit the turtle's head, causing a muffled sound and some light blue liquid flowing out.
An extremely cold air emerged from the ground, covering the heads of the two turtles, and their heads quickly froze.
Snowflakes danced in the wind and transformed into white ice blades about a foot long, slashing towards the heads of the two turtles.
Boom!
After a deafening roar, the heads of the two turtles were chopped off.
They had a very accurate grasp of the opportunity, and the turtle's shell was not seriously damaged, so it could be sold for a good price.
Everyone was in high spirits, with joy showing on their faces.
Han Changming breathed a sigh of relief. They had been out to sea for more than a year and had hunted many monsters, including more than a dozen second-grade top-quality monsters. His monster hunting team was very powerful and had killed many monsters. Other monster hunting teams avoided them when they encountered them.
They removed the formation and dealt with the corpses of the monsters. Han Daobin and other cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building dealt with the corpses, while Han Changming and Li Yutang chatted on the side.
"Friend Han, we got two more second-level demon pills this time. Can you give us a few Wu Yue pills?"
After spending more than half a year together, Li Yutang and Han Changming have become much more familiar with each other.
In their monster hunting team, Han Changming is the only second-level alchemist. This is not surprising. Tinghai Pavilion's second-level alchemists do not need to take risks. They can just stay in Jinxia Island to make pills and do not need to go out to sea to hunt monsters.
Every time a second-level monster was hunted and the property was distributed, Han Changming would take the monster pill, but he would take out some pills to share with others.
Wu Yue Pills can detoxify, and their effects are better than the detoxification pills on the market. They have experienced this themselves.
"No problem, fifteen Wu Yue Wan as we agreed."
Han Changming agreed readily. He found that the prices in the outer sea were relatively high, especially the healing pills, which were much more expensive than those in the inner sea.
This is also normal. The cultivators in the outer sea often fight with monsters and have higher incomes. The chance of getting injured is high, so the price of healing pills is naturally high. The monster resources in the inner sea are relatively scarce. Unless a major war breaks out, under normal circumstances, the price of healing pills will not be too high.
The most valuable parts of turtle monsters are their tortoise shells and demon cores, especially the tortoise shells, which are excellent materials for refining defensive magic weapons.
In the Red Algae Sea, it is not easy to find a second-level top-grade monster. They have killed more than a dozen second-level top-grade monsters in a row. No wonder many cultivators want to develop in the open sea.
Han Changming took this opportunity to collect quite a few second-level demon pills. Unfortunately, they were all five-element demon pills, and there were no thunder-attribute demon pills.
"Hey, what is this? A magical weapon?"
Han Daobin took out a milky white round bead the size of an egg from the body of a turtle. The bead was shining brightly and was obviously a magical weapon.
According to regulations, the proceeds from hunting monsters are distributed in person, and the more effort one puts in, the more money one gets.
"let me see."
Du Donglai took the white round bead and tried to inject magic power into it.
Countless runes suddenly emerged from the white round beads. These runes suddenly flew out, gathered together in mid-air, and turned into a topographic map.
The topographic map clearly showed an island with mountains and water, and a golden spot of light somewhere.
"This is the inheritance bead!"
Li Yutang was stunned at first, looking extremely excited.
Han Changming's face looked a little strange. When he was in the Qi Refining Stage, he bought a magic bead of inheritance at a stall. It turned out to be a trap set by an evil cultivator. If he hadn't told his elders, he would have been dead. This made him doubt the authenticity of the magic bead of inheritance.
Du Donglai and Liu Fei looked at each other, their eyes were somewhat surprised and doubtful. To be honest, discovering the inherited magic beads was a good thing, but they didn't quite dare to believe it.
Du Donglai had been in the outer sea for five years, and had only heard of the inheritance beads but had never actually seen one.
They were at sea for more than a month and they obtained the inherited magic beads. They were so lucky.
"Friend Li, this could be a trap. Be careful. I think you should hand over the inheritance beads!"
Han Changming suggested that once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. If Han Zhangxiang was around, Han Changming would be willing to make a trip.
"What if it's an opportunity? Why are there so many traps? Who knows who will get the inheritance beads? I think our opportunity has come. There are twelve of us. As long as we don't encounter Jindan cultivators, there won't be any problems."
Li Yutang disagreed. Opportunities and risks have always coexisted. We cannot deny all opportunities just because there are traps set by evil cultivators!
"I think we should go back to Jinxia Island first! We can make long-term plans. The cave mansion can't escape anyway."
Du Donglai suggested.
"Brother Du, what if someone gets there first?"
A disciple of Tinghai Pavilion expressed his confusion. Twelve foundation-building monks saw the topographic map. For foundation-building monks, it was very easy to redraw a topographic map. If someone left Jinxia Island in the middle of the journey, found the location of the ancient monk's cave, and took away the things in the cave, wouldn't the others suffer a great loss
People’s hearts are secretive. If they want to prevent the news from leaking out, the twelve of them have to stay together and not contact outsiders to prevent the news from leaking out.
If it were to be reported, it would be impossible for a Jindan cultivator to go treasure hunting in person. At most, he could send his disciples to get the treasure. It is impossible for a Jindan cultivator to go treasure hunting in person just because he found the so-called cave for sitting and passing away!
"I have a sea chart with me. Let's check it carefully. If we find the location on the map, we will go looking for treasure. If not, we will return to Jinxia Island and report it. Even if there is treasure, how much can each of us twelve get?"
Li Yutang's tone was sincere. If he reported to the sect, the reward would be divided among the twelve foundation-building cultivators, and Li Yutang would not get much.
Li Yutang has been in the world of immortal cultivation for so many years, and he has never encountered a trap set by evil cultivators, nor has he discovered the cave of ancient cultivators. This time, when he discovered the cave of ancient cultivators, he thought that his chance had come, and maybe he could take this opportunity to form a golden elixir, a top-grade golden elixir.
He was not daydreaming. As far as he knew, the founder of Tinghai Pavilion was someone who inherited the legacy of ancient cultivators, made rapid progress in his cultivation, and then founded his own sect.
There are countless legends about such opportunities in the world of immortal cultivation. It is rare for Li Yutang to come across one, so he naturally has to seize it.
Most people were tempted. Han Changming frowned. The minority must obey the majority. If he refused, he would not be able to stay in this small circle.
"If the evil cultivator wants to set a trap, he might as well just kill people and steal the treasure. He can't guarantee that the inheritance beads will fall into the hands of the foundation-building cultivator! This time when we went out to sea, we hunted more than a dozen second-level high-quality monsters and encountered a group of monster birds, but they were all intact. I think we should not be suspicious. The word chance is very mysterious."
Li Yutang began to persuade, his eyes falling on Han Changming.
Han Changming has reached the late stage of foundation building, and he is also a second-level alchemist, so his attitude is very important.
"Changming, what Fellow Daoist Li said is true. We have been out to sea for more than a year and have hunted more than a dozen second-level high-quality monsters. This is enough to show that the outer sea is rich in immortal cultivation resources. It is not surprising to see ancient cultivators' caves."
Han Delei started to persuade them that they had hunted a large number of second-level monsters and he had received a lot of property.
If he wants to reach the Jindan stage, he will need more money.
Han Daobin agreed deeply. The twelve of them had worked together to kill so many second-level monsters. Everything had been going smoothly. Now they had obtained the inheritance beads.
"Okay! If the ancient monk's cave is not in a remote place, we can go there."
Han Changming hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
Everyone took out the nautical charts and looked for relevant islands.
"Found it, at the junction of the Righteous Alliance and the Three Immortal Islands."
Han Delei said excitedly, pointing to a certain place on the nautical chart.
Looking in the direction he pointed, you can see a small island. The shape of the island is similar to what is recorded in the inheritance beads.
The Three Immortals Island borders the forces of the Righteous Alliance. Their current location is not far from the island recorded in the inheritance beads, and they can arrive there in less than a month.
Du Donglai carefully checked the location of the island, nodded and said, "There are many islands with weak spiritual energy in that area, but they are not large in area, the economic benefits are not high, and there are few monster resources. Few cultivators go there, so it makes sense for cultivators to choose to sit there and die."
"Let's set off now without further delay! After this is settled, we can return to Jinxia Island and concentrate on practicing for a while."
Li Yutang said excitedly, and summoned a green flying boat, carrying everyone into the sky.
More than half a month later, they arrived at their destination.
The island is over a hundred miles in radius, with high terrain in the east and low terrain in the west. The ancient monks' caves are located in the mountains in the east. Gray-white stones can be seen everywhere, and the vegetation is sparse, making it look a bit desolate.
They all released their spiritual senses and scanned the island several times. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, Li Yutang landed on the ground.
"Everyone, be careful. The ancient monk's cave may have powerful restrictions."
Li Yutang warned in a serious tone that at this time, they should be more careful.
The twelve of them dispersed, with Han Changming walking at the back. He lightly patted the spirit beast bag, and a yellow light flew out, disappearing into the ground in a flash.
Li Yutang and others walked slowly towards the depths of the mountains, looking at everything around them with vigilant eyes.
After a cup of tea, they stopped outside a long and narrow valley. A mountain stream ran through the valley, with the sound of gurgling water, and a large number of gray-white stones were scattered on the ground.
Li Yutang held a piece of light green animal skin in his hand, and they drew the map recorded in the inherited magic beads.
"This should be it, there's no mistake."
Li Yutang put away the topographic map and said in a deep voice, his eyes somewhat fiery.
Liu Fei slapped the spirit beast bag and a blue light flew out, revealing to be a half-meter-tall sea ape.
This sea ape is only of the middle grade of the first rank, but it has thick skin and flesh, making it perfect for exploring the way.
Under Liu Fei's command, the sea ape strode towards the valley.
Li Yutang and others looked at the sea ape, not daring to breathe.
Han Changming stood at the back, a golden light flashed across his eyes, it was the golden eyes.
Han Changming has rarely used the Golden Eye since he cultivated it. This time, it comes in handy for treasure hunting.
He could clearly see that the valley was shrouded in a layer of pale white light, which was obviously a restriction.
He looked elsewhere and didn't see anything unusual.
When the sea ape walked into the valley, a large white mist suddenly emerged and covered the sea ape, and the sea ape suddenly disappeared.
Li Yutang frowned and looked at Liu Fei.
"The sea ape is not dead, it should be a psychedelic formation. If we work together, it won't be difficult to break the formation."
Liu Fei said in a deep voice that ancient cultivators’ cave dwellings usually have psychedelic arrays set up on the periphery, which is normal.
They all took out their magical weapons and attacked the white mist.
Boom!
There was a deafening explosion, and colorful magical auras exploded in the valley. The white mist suddenly dissipated, and the sea ape stood in the open space with a terrified look in his eyes.
With its intelligence, it naturally didn't know that it was trapped in a psychedelic array.
Du Donglai also released a sea ape and walked into the valley.
The two sea apes walked around in the valley without triggering any other restrictions. Everyone released their spiritual sense and carefully explored the valley, but found nothing unusual.
"Junior Brother Li, Fellow Daoist Han, let's go in and take a look first. You stay outside so that you can help us if anything happens."
Du Donglai greeted them and volunteered to lead five foundation-building cultivators into the valley. Han Delei was also inside.
At this time, they were still very cautious, and Han Changming deeply agreed.
Not long after, a muffled sound of metal clashing came from the valley. Han Changming and the other six people felt depressed and their faces became solemn. Soon, Du Donglai's joyful voice suddenly rang out: "Junior Brother Li, Fellow Daoist Han, we have found the entrance to the ancient cultivator's cave."
After hearing this, Han Changming and Li Yutang both breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yutang was overjoyed and was about to walk into the valley, but Han Changming stopped him and said, "With Daoist Du and his friends' abilities, it won't be difficult to break the ban. Wait a little longer! There's no need to rush."
Li Yutang felt that what Han Changming said made sense, so he stayed where he was.
In the valley, Du Donglai and six others stood in front of a steep stone wall. On the wall, there was a yellowish-brown light curtain that was faintly visible.
More than a dozen magical weapons with shining light hit the khaki light curtain, causing a series of crackling sounds.
Boom!
After a huge explosion, the yellow light curtain could not bear the weight and suddenly shattered, revealing a hole with a diameter of about ten feet. The stone walls on both sides showed obvious signs of artificial excavation.
"It seems to be an ancient cultivator's cave. Junior Brother Li, Fellow Daoist Han, please come in!"
Du Donglai was overjoyed and shouted.
Outside the valley, Li Yutang responded and walked towards the valley.
Han Changming was walking at the back. When he was about to enter the valley, he turned his head to look behind him. His face changed and he grabbed Han Daobin.
"Oh no, there's an ambush, retreat quickly."
With the help of his golden eyes, Han Changming was surprised to see a faint shadow, looming.
Li Yutang had already walked into the valley. When he heard Han Changming's reminder, he wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
The surrounding environment changed, and Li Yutang suddenly appeared in a red space. The sky was red, even the ground was red, and the temperature suddenly rose.
Spots of fire appeared in the void and suddenly turned into dozens of giant fireballs as big as water tanks.
"Oh no, I fell into a trap."
Li Yutang's face darkened. He had never expected that the inherited magic bead he got for the first time was actually a trap. This was really bad luck.
He didn't have time to think about it and quickly used his magic weapon to resist the attack of the giant fireball.
Among the twelve foundation-building cultivators, nine were trapped in the formation, while Han Changming, Han Daobin and Liu Fei were not trapped in the formation.
Outside the formation, Han Changming's eyes were gloomy, and Han Daobin and Liu Fei's faces were not looking good either.
Han Daobin regretted his actions so much that his intestines turned green. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. He grew up in Huludao and the Foundation Building Pills were given to him by his family. He had no experience in treasure hunting.
He was willing to follow Li Yutang on the treasure hunt mainly because of the herd mentality. Most people agreed, so he naturally had no objection. Who would have thought that this was actually a trap.
Opposite them stood a young woman in a yellow dress with a graceful figure and gorgeous features. She was in the middle stage of foundation building. She had three spirit beast bags tied around her waist. The spirit beast bags were constantly beating and the spirit beasts inside seemed to be about to rush out.
A burly middle-aged man stood next to the young woman in a yellow skirt. His right ear was missing and he exuded a strong murderous aura, and he seemed to be in the late stage of foundation building.
"It's interesting that you can actually discover our presence. If you know what's best for you, just surrender and let us plant the restriction to help us attract other immortal cultivators."
The young woman in the yellow skirt's tone was full of temptation, and her eyes were fixed on Han Changming.
They set traps and killed many Foundation Establishment monks. They moved to another place after each shot and suffered minor losses. This was the first time that their hiding place was discovered by the enemy.
Han Daobin snorted lightly and was about to speak when there was a muffled sound from the ground and a mound of earth rose up. Han Daobin was startled and his body swayed and he flew backwards with a look of alert on his face.
Han Changming looked calm and did not move.
The yellow-skirted young woman's face changed suddenly. She was shocked and angry. She said in a lost voice, "My spirit beast was killed. This kid also raised an earth-attributed spirit beast. Be careful of sneak attacks."
She used this method to sneak attack more than a dozen foundation-building monks. She failed sometimes, but her spirit beast was a second-level mid-grade spirit beast, which was not easy to kill. Obviously, the opponent's spirit beast was more powerful than the one she released.
A large white mist emerged from around her, transforming into a white cloud that lifted her into the air.
A flash of surprise flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes, the spiritual boots on his feet shone brightly, and he soared into the sky.
"Don't waste time talking to them, just make it quick and easy."
A murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the young woman in the yellow skirt. She slapped the spirit beast bag on her waist. A sharp bird cry sounded, and a giant eagle with a completely black body flew out. The giant eagle's wingspan was three meters in size. It was a second-level medium-grade spirit bird.
In addition, there is a emerald green centipede that is more than ten feet long. It has a pair of foot-long tentacles on its head and a row of sickle-like green sharp legs under its abdomen. The green sharp legs scratched across a white rock that is about ten feet in size. The white rock was cut in half like tofu.
The middle-aged man released a blue sea ape that was about ten feet tall. It was a second-grade, mid-quality sea ape. The sea ape rushed over holding a giant stick that was shining with golden light.
Han Changming looked calm. He slapped his spirit beast bag, and the Purple Crystal Flying Scorpion and Thunder Rhinoceros Insect flew out to meet them.
The body of the Amethyst Flying Scorpion is much larger than before. It has consumed a lot of poisonous herbs over the years.
The black giant eagle blew up a gust of wind and flapped its wings. A piercing sound of breaking through the air was heard, and dozens of green wind blades about feet long shot out and hit the Amethyst Flying Scorpion one after another. A series of muffled "ding ding" sounds were heard, and some faint cut marks appeared on the body of the Amethyst Flying Scorpion.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpion let out an extremely strange hissing sound, and the speed of the Black Giant Eagle suddenly slowed down. A silver lightning as thick as an adult's arm shot out and hit the Black Giant Eagle accurately.
The black giant eagle let out a shrill bird cry, and black smoke came out of its body. Before it could come to its senses, a purple liquid with an extremely fishy smell flew over and hit it.
A burst of green smoke suddenly came out of its body, and a bloody hole was corroded on its wings. It flapped its wings and flew high, but it was useless. After circling in a circle, it suddenly fell from the sky and landed not far in front of the young woman in yellow skirt.
A "sizzling" sound was heard from the black giant eagle, and some purple venom splashed onto the ground, instantly corroding a large hole.
She was stunned. She didn't know how much effort she had spent and how many immortal cultivation resources she had invested in order to cultivate the spiritual bird to the second level.
Seeing this scene, a flash of surprise passed through Liu Fei's eyes. She naturally recognized that this was the Amethyst Flying Scorpion, a magical insect on the list of strange insects in the world.
Han Changming was very satisfied with the performance of the Amethyst Flying Scorpion. With the Amethyst Flying Scorpion's current strength, it would not be a problem for it to deal with ordinary cultivators in the late stage of foundation building. Its soul attack would be difficult for other spirit beasts and birds to resist.
After a successful attack, the Amethyst Flying Scorpion spewed out a purple poisonous mist with an extremely foul smell and hit the sea ape.
The middle-aged man quickly gave orders for the sea ape to move away.
The sea ape wanted to retreat, but was horrified to find that its body was as heavy as a thousand pounds, as if there was an invisible mountain pressing on its shoulders, and it was difficult for it to move a single step.
The purple poisonous fog was already in front of him. The sea ape howled to the sky, and a blue sound wave was sprayed out, blowing away the purple poisonous fog. When the golden long stick came into contact with the purple poisonous fog, a muffled "sizzling" sound suddenly came out, and the light of the golden long stick dimmed.
A silver lightning bolt as thick as an adult's arm fell from the sky and struck the sea ape. The sea ape let out a miserable cry. A strong wind blew and a purple poisonous mist came. It accidentally inhaled some of the purple poisonous mist and felt dizzy.
A giant fireball as big as a water tank fell from the sky and hit the sea monkey. The billowing flames immediately enveloped the sea monkey's body, and the sea monkey let out a painful roar.
There was a loud sound of breaking air, six silver lights flew over and sank into the sea of fire, and the voice of the sea ape disappeared.
Not long after, the flames dissipated and the sea ape fell to the ground with several bloody holes in his chest.
Six silver lights circled and headed straight towards the two young women in yellow skirts.
The young woman in the yellow skirt was horrified and quickly took out a small and exquisite yellow mirror. A yellow light flashed, and dozens of yellow fireballs the size of heads flew out.
Boom!
After a deafening explosion, six silver lights flew back and stopped in front of Liu Fei. The six silver lights were actually six silver swallowtail darts, which were a set of magic weapons.
The red gourd in Han Daobin's hand glowed with spiritual light and gushed out billowing flames. The flames rolled and surged, and turned into a three-meter-long red fire crow, which spread its wings and swooped down to the opposite side.
A strong gravity suddenly appeared near the green centipede, and it stood still. A red fire crow flew over and hit the green centipede.
Boom!
The green centipede was enveloped by billowing flames. A silver lightning as thick as an adult's arm fell from the sky and sank into the flames, and a painful hissing sound was heard.
