Yueyaer felt that she was being suppressed by him and became more and more upset.
Soon, there was a rapid sound of breaking through the air below, and flames flickered.
Shi Hao looked down quietly and saw Li Ximing, Gui Xiaoren and the Gui Ji Sect warriors searching the area carefully.
However, the terrain here is extremely complex. Shi Hao relied on the perception of mysterious energy to detect that there were gaps between the upside-down stalagmites where they could hide people. But these people did not have such ability. Although they searched thoroughly below, they found nothing.
Gui Xiaoren said angrily: "I clearly heard some noise over here."
Li Ximing snorted, "That guy is very cunning, and seems to have the ability to sense other people's aura. I was careful enough, but he still followed me secretly without me noticing. It may not be easy to find them."
Gui Xiaoren said: "But if we can't complete the task assigned by the sect master, it will be very troublesome for us."
Li Ximing waved his hand and asked the others to disperse and search. When the others walked away, Gui Xiaoren whispered, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Li Ximing whispered, "We failed to get the Suihou Pearl last time. If we fail again this time, do you think the Sect Master will let us go? And those guys around him, when the two of us assisted Ming Lao San in the fight for the position of Sect Master, we fought so fiercely with them. Although the Sect Master ordered that bygones be bygones, how could they miss this opportunity to persecute you and me?"
Gui Xiaoren frowned, "The Guiji Sect is now seriously injured, and the Sect Master still needs people. Even if he doesn't trust us, he can't do anything to us if he wants to stabilize people's hearts."
Li Ximing snorted, "But I don't trust him! I don't trust the people around him either. Besides, I have failed two missions in a row, and I don't have the face to stay with their sarcasm."
Gui Xiaoren whispered, "What do you want to do? Leave Guiji Sect? This is betrayal of the sect. Even if you and I are both fifth-rank, it will be difficult for us to survive in the future."
Li Ximing gritted his teeth and said, "If we can catch that little girl this time, it will be fine. If not... I plan to go to Dongting Lake for a walk. I wonder what you think?"
Gui Xiaoren said helplessly: "If even you leave, I will be alone in the sect and I will not be able to stay. Forget it, let's go find that stinky girl first. If that doesn't work, I will go with you... Alas!"
Shi Hao lay on Yueyaer's back, eavesdropping on the conversation below, thinking to himself, are they planning to join the "Demon Marshal"
If you think about it carefully, if they really rebel against the Guiji Sect, they will have to find another force to join. The Dongting Army is indeed a good choice for them.
Other forces may not be able to accommodate people from the Demon Sect. However, the Dongting Army was already considered to be involved with the Demon Sect, and now it is in need of people. The addition of two fifth-grade masters is also a timely help for the Dongting Army.
As long as they are willing to join, they will definitely be reused.
From this perspective, their mission will be ruined no matter what.
Having said that, if they really go to join the "Demon Marshal", what would their expressions be when one day they find out that the failure of their two consecutive missions were all caused by the "Demon Marshal" himself
The people below searched for a while but found nothing and gradually went away.
Shi Hao didn't dare to be careless. After all, he was a fifth-grade rank, and any movement would be discovered by them.
Moreover, the underground structure is so complicated that it is easy to produce echoes. He and Yueyaer didn't speak very loudly just now, but they were still attracted here, which is related to the transmission of echoes.
The hole was quite narrow, and when the two of them were stacked together, Yueya'er's soft buttocks pressed against him, causing him to subconsciously press down a little more.
He could feel that Yueyaer's body was getting warmer.
But surprisingly, there was no intention of rejection at all.
The atmosphere was nice but they couldn't stay here for long.
It would be bad if these people from Guiji Sect ran into Yue Jiao, Xiao Yan and Lan Ke Taoist.
Shi Hao climbed up carefully, jumped down, landed on a stone pillar, and listened attentively.
Above him, Yueyaer flew down lightly... Her lightness skill was indeed quite good.
After all, she is a disciple of Zutan and the daughter of Yueketai family. She must have some means to save her life.
She landed lightly beside him, tiptoed and looked around.
But she was only good at light work, her other skills were useless, and it was dark all around her, so she couldn't see anything clearly.
"Let's go!" Shi Hao put his arms around her slender waist and flew into the darkness.
Yueyaer raised her hands, hugged his neck, and clung to him... She only knew that Shi Hao was flying with her, up and down, and she couldn't see clearly where they were passing.
"It should be here!" Suddenly, Shi Hao stopped and looked up at a stone peak in front of him.
In this underground cave, this stone peak occupies a large area, and there is a protruding rock in one part.
It looks like a turtle lying on the ground.
This is the "Guifeng Mountain".
"Where is the map?" Shi Hao whispered in Yueyaer's ear.
For fear of attracting those guys from Guiji Sect again, his voice was so faint that it sounded like a hum in Yueyaer's ear.
Yueyaer opened her collar and took out the map.
Shi Hao took it, opened it, and gently shook a little magic fire in his hand. With the help of the firelight, he looked at the map again.
Judging from the map, there is more than one way to the bottom floor, and Taoist Lan Ke and his companions don't know which way to take.
This molten cave is complicated and intricate. If they are careful, the possibility of encountering those people from Guiji Sect is not high.
After looking at the map clearly, he folded it and handed it back to Yueyaer. Yueyaer rolled it into a small paper tube, opened the edge of her collar, and put it vertically in the middle of her bra.
The crystal clear and small pair of breasts flickered before Shi Hao's eyes, and were quickly covered by the overlapping lapels.
Shi Hao hugged Yueyaer, walked around Guifeng Peak, entered another cave, and continued to go down according to the path he had memorized.
The surroundings gradually became colder. Even though there were rocks all around, one could still feel a cold wind blowing.
It seemed as if there were phantoms floating around them, making people shudder.
Shi Hao knew through the perception of mysterious energy that this was an illusion caused by some kind of cold and gloomy energy, so he did not take it seriously.
Yueyaer hugged him tightly, she always felt that the ghostly shadow floating in the darkness was about to pounce on them at any time.
Suddenly, she felt the young man pick her up by the waist and jump down.
As it fell, fluorescent strips appeared and swayed around it.
There were also specks of phosphorous fire that gathered into human shapes, floating here and there, making even Shi Hao feel creepy.
They actually landed among the spreading clusters of flowers. All of these flowers were white, like crystals, emitting phosphorescent light, which was strange and inexplicable.
Crystal Orchid... One of the four legendary flowers of hell.
Shi Hao gently put the girl down, and her flowery clothes fell to the ground.
He held the girl's hand and walked forward among the patches of crystal orchids.
In front of them, there is a peach tree, emitting a deep blue glow...
Chapter 329: Nine Earth Peach, Underground Shadow
The peach tree was not big, only about ten feet tall, but the light it emitted filled the entire underground cave.
The surrounding crystal orchids also become a deep blue under the illumination of this blue light.
But the tree itself is dark yellow, whether it is the trunk or the branches, they are all dark yellow, and the leaves on the tree are light gray.
I don’t know why a dark yellow tree would emit such a deep blue luster.
There are three fruits on the tree. All three fruits are emerald green in color and shaped like peaches.
Nine-earth green peach!
Shi Hao let out a sigh of relief!
In this way, one of the four main immortal materials needed for the next advanced external elixir has been solved.
Shi Hao stepped forward and took out a golden box from his arms.
The entire box was made of gold, which he had prepared on the way here.
Shi Hao placed it under one of the green peaches, raised his other hand, and waved it lightly. His vital energy turned into a knife, and the green peach fell into the golden box.
Then, do the same thing and put the other two peaches in.
This is because Lan Ke Zhenren said that the Nine-Earth Green Peach can be preserved for a long time if it is placed in a golden container.
But if you leave it alone and wait for it to fall, it will turn into soil and rocks when it encounters them, which would be a waste.
In addition to being used to refine external elixirs, the Nine-Earth Peach is also the medicinal ingredient needed for some unique elixirs.
In fact, there are not many cases where the Nine-Earth Jade Peach is needed for the Daoist external elixir. People like Shi Hao who need to use the Nine-Earth Jade Peach and the Double Realm Wonderful Lotus are the exception.
Shi Hao closed the golden box and put it in his arms.
Yueyaer took out the Kongxuanzhu, placed it on the ground, and sat down facing the Kongxuanzhu.
She stretched out her hands, rubbed the Kongxuanzhu, and muttered something.
A mysterious light emanated from her hands.
The crescent moon comes from the ancestral altar. The essence of the ancestral altar is the ancient and traditional shamanism.
In the ancestral altar, there are some strange techniques that are difficult for outsiders to understand and explain.
Shi Hao saw that there seemed to be air currents swirling inside the Kongxuan Pearl. The water vapor under the ground seemed to be rolled up, pouring in waves, turning into spiritual energy and being drawn into the Kongxuan Pearl.
In Longshou Mountain, Grandma Naba must have used this method to absorb a large amount of true dragon energy.
The nine-earth spiritual water flowed along the roots of the peach tree.
This peach tree is rooted in the Beiyin Mountain in the underworld, connecting the yin and yang worlds.
Water gradually gathered inside the Kongxuan Pearl, rising up bit by bit from the bottom of the pearl.
After a long time, the surrounding crystal orchids gradually withered.
This kind of crystal orchid should not exist in the Yang World, but because the Nine-Earth Peach Trees absorb the spiritual water from the Beiyin Mountain, they can survive here.
At this moment, Kongxuanzhu absorbed all the spiritual water in the place. They withered very quickly, and soon turned into mottled, limestone-like remains.
With the influx of a large amount of Nine Earth Spirit Water, the water level in the Kongxuan Pearl rose to the middle and continued to rise.
The deep blue glow emitted by the Jiudi Peach Tree gradually dimmed.
Suddenly, Shi Hao frowned.
The ground began to shake, and there was a crackling sound from the ground.
Yueyaer also stopped and opened her eyes wide... This didn't sound like the sound caused by Kongxuanzhu.
The peach tree trembled, and the dark gray leaves fluttered in the air and fell one by one.
All the leaves that fell to the ground turned into soil and rocks and disappeared.
Cracks appeared on the ground, Shi Hao quickly picked up Yueyaer and jumped away.
—An ominous feeling came over him.
The trunk of the peach tree cracked and, with a bang, shattered into countless pieces from bottom to top.
Shi Hao sensed a dark shadow wrapped in a yin energy that broke out of the ground, turned in the air, and then whooshed upwards.
The ground cracked and was filled with dirt and rocks. With the destruction of the Nine-Earth Peach Tree, the dead air that was spreading was gradually blocked.
Yueyaer looked up at the fleeing black shadow, stunned: "What did I release?"
Shi Hao whispered, "It seems that something has broken out from Beiyin Mountain along the roots of the Jiudi Bitao tree."
He held Yueyaer in his arms and flew upwards, trying to chase the shadow. However, the shadow had no energy, just a ball of Yin energy, and had no form. When he got to the top, the terrain was complicated and he was soon lost.
"I didn't release any monster, did I?" Yueyaer muttered.
Shi Hao was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Little Jade, what do you think that is?"
Behind his shoulder, Little Jade suddenly said, "I don't know either. It feels like a ghost."
Yueyaer was startled by the sudden sound made by Xiao Feicui. She hugged Shi Hao's neck, looked over his shoulder, and stared in a daze at the rag doll that suddenly appeared.
Taoist Lan Ke, Du Yuejiao, and Xu Xiaoyan were walking deep underground.
Because they didn't want to collide with those people from Guiji Sect, they didn't walk fast and remained sufficiently vigilant.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew past and the three of them stopped.
They looked back, and after a while, Xu Xiaoyan asked, "Did something fly past us just now?"
Du Yuejiao said: "This..." It feels like it exists, but it also feels like it doesn't.
"Is it a ghost?" Xu Xiaoyan muttered, hugging her arms.
She is now considered a sixth-rank expert, but it is a woman's nature to be afraid of ghosts.
Lan Ke Taoist whispered: "In short, we should be careful... The world is getting more and more chaotic, anything can come out."
Far above, there were several bodies lying.
