The smell of blood grew stronger.
Luo Qingzhou looked solemn. He slowed down and swam over silently.
Is someone injured and hiding underground
Or, is there something else that suddenly passes through the underground
Or, is it Sister Yue
He had been to this piece of land many times, and he was already familiar with the smell there.
With his master's level of cultivation, he wouldn't have been mistaken even through the soil.
What's more, this piece of ground had already been loosened by him many times.
Um
When he got closer, he suddenly found that the smell of blood began to fade.
He immediately sped up and rushed over.
But there was nothing under the well, in the soil around the well, and in the passage he had opened up when he was practicing with his uncle.
He immediately searched the entire underground of the courtyard again.
Then, he searched the undergrounds of the two neighboring courtyards as well.
But still nothing was found.
Are you gone
Just as he was wondering, the communication disc on his body suddenly vibrated.
The master sent a message:
Feiyang, where have you been? It's time to go
He explored the surroundings again, then put away the communication disc and swam upstream.
When I was about to go back to my room.
Suddenly he had an idea and changed direction, swimming towards Sister Yue's room.
Just as he was about to drill out from the ground, a white light suddenly flashed above his head, and a light curtain appeared, blocking him.
He was stunned for a moment, but instead of being surprised, he was delighted, and quickly shouted upwards: "Sister Yue!"
When I first came here, I did not trigger this formation.
Obviously, Sister Yue is back!
However, there was no response from above.
When he was about to take out Dabao and Erbao to break in, he suddenly discovered that only Erbao was left in the storage ring, and Dabao was missing!
Huh
He hurriedly searched the entire storage ring but couldn't find it.
I had to take out Erbao and ask.
The second baby nodded, shook his head, and squeaked, looking very sad.
"Dabao, I want to find Dabao..."
It even wiped away tears.
At this moment, Luo Qingzhou already had a guess in his mind.
Apart from Sister Yue, there could be no one else who could have taken Dabao away from his storage ring silently.
Sister Yue secretly took away his great treasure, and must have broken through the formation and left the city.
Judging from this formation, Sister Yue might have just returned.
And the smell of blood just now...
Sister Yue is injured
His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and just as he was about to rush forward, the communication token on his body suddenly vibrated.
It was a message from Sister Yue: Don’t come up
Sister Yue knew he was underground.
Luo Qingzhou quickly replied: Sister Yue, are you injured? I just smelled blood underground.
Sister Yue: No, I killed a few monsters.
Luo Qingzhou: Then I'll go up and see you.
Sister Yue: No, I'm very tired and need to rest.
Luo Qingzhou: I just took a look.
Sister Yue: I have taken off my clothes
Seeing her firm attitude, Luo Qingzhou thought of his master who was still waiting, so he said: "I will come back to see you. I have to go out of town now."
The other party did not reply.
Luo Qingzhou thought it was getting late, so he didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately returned to his room.
Fairy Zixia was anxiously wandering around his room. When she saw him suddenly come out from underground, she quickly grabbed him and said, "Feiyang, hurry up, we may be late."
Luo Qingzhou hurriedly followed her out of the room.
When I walked out of the house, I found that it was already dawn outside.
Because of the obstruction of the magic tree's canopy, the light was dim, so it was difficult to see clearly in the house.
The two of them quickly left the mansion and walked quickly towards the east of the city.
And at this time.
In the room, a girl in a white dress sat on the bed. She was quiet for a moment and then gently untied the gauze on her body.
The snow-white gauze has been stained red with blood.
And her face was exceptionally pale.
Judging from the look in her eyes, her soul seemed to be hurt as well.
She took out a bottle of medicine powder from her storage ring.
At this moment, a snow-white little rabbit in the storage ring suddenly cried out.
She looked at him softly.
Dabao seemed to have smelled her blood as well, his face full of concern and anxiety.
The girl looked at it tenderly for a while, and murmured softly: "You... still have a conscience..."
When Luo Qingzhou and Fairy Zixia arrived at the agreed city gate, they found that many people were already standing there.
There are people from the three major immortal sects, as well as people from other sects.
Bai Yishen, Zhuang Zhiyan, and the top leaders of the three major immortal sects were all here.
Fairy Zixia quickly let go of her hand.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start breaking the formation."
Jia Xun glanced at the two of them indifferently, then he and Fairy Liuyun and the others walked out of the city gate, stood in front of the black light curtain outside, and began to cast a spell.
A tall woman from the Piao Miao Immortal Sect looked at Luo Qingzhou and the others coldly and said in a cold voice: "You are so arrogant that you actually made us wait."
The faces of the others all looked unhappy.
Fairy Zixia quickly apologized: "It's too dark, I forgot the time, sorry."
Bai Yishan came over, looked at the two of them gently, and said, "This time, in addition to investigating the enemy situation of the Liucheng demon clan, we also have to rescue people. Two people from Penglai Fairy Island, three people from Piaomiao Fairy Sect, two people from Chiyang Sect, two people from Tianqing Sect, and two people from Dayan. You guys form a team and start from here. There will also be teams going out from other city gates."
"In the past half month, there has been no movement from the demon tribe. We don't know if they are still there, so we need to investigate clearly."
"The previous teams that went to explore found nothing and suffered heavy losses, with some casualties."
Then he added: "Do your best. If there is any danger, just come back."
At this time, the long-bearded old man named Sun Ming from Penglai Fairy Island snorted coldly: "This is your Great Yan's city. If you are afraid of death, why bother pretending to defend the city here? You might as well go home and sleep!"
Bai Yishan didn't say anything else.
At this time, a tall middle-aged man in a white robe looked at Luo Qingzhou and Fairy Zixia and said, "My name is Yuan Song. I am the steward of Penglai Fairy Island and the leader of your team this time. We need you to unite and cooperate to investigate the enemy and rescue people. You two should come here first and get to know the others. Tell them your respective cultivation levels and the skills you are good at, so that I can assign tasks to you according to your abilities."
Luo Qingzhou and Fairy Zixia immediately walked over and looked at each other with the disciples from other sects.
A young man in a white robe bowed and said, "My name is Yang Fan, a disciple of Penglai Fairy Island. I am in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and am good at swordsmanship."
At this time, another burly young man in a blue robe bowed and said, "My name is Zhou Yang, a disciple of Piao Miao Xian Zong. I am in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and am good at flying swords."
Then, another young man in a blue robe bowed and said, "I am Zhuoyang, a disciple of Piaomiao Xianzong. I have reached the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and am good at swordsmanship."
Zhuo Yang? The genius disciple who ranked first on the Piaomiao Ranking this year
As soon as this name came out, the other disciples around began to discuss it in low voices.
At this time, the tall woman who had just ridiculed Luo Qingzhou and the others said in a cold voice: "I am Yue Wushuang, a disciple of Piaomiao Xianzong, in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and I am good at swords."
The two men from the Chiyang Sect seemed to be a pair of brothers. They were both short and had full beards.
"I am Wu Da, a disciple of the Chiyang Sect, a mid-stage Grandmaster, and I am good at sticks."
"My name is Wu Er, a disciple of the Chiyang Sect, at the early stage of Grandmaster cultivation, and I am good at fists."
This name...
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but look at the two of them one more time.
The two people from the Tianqing Sect are a young man and woman.
The man’s name is Wan Zhaoyi, and his cultivation level is in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm; the woman’s name is Chen Ruoshui, and her cultivation level is in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
When it was Luo Qingzhou's turn to introduce themselves, Fairy Zixia felt a little embarrassed.
It turns out that she has the lowest cultivation level in this team.
"If I had known earlier, I would have asked Qingzhu to come..."
She finished the introduction reluctantly, muttering to herself.
After everyone had finished their introductions, the elders from both sides gave some detailed instructions.
At this time, a gap had been opened in the black light shield outside the city gate, and a gloomy breath suddenly rushed in.
Jia Xun immediately shouted, "You can go out now! As soon as possible!"
Everyone looked over there.
Yuan Song from Penglai Fairy Island immediately walked over with ten people.
Luo Qingzhou and Fairy Zixia followed at the end. When they were about to leave, Bai Yishan suddenly said, "Fei Yang."
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and looked.
The people from the three major immortal sects seemed to be looking at him as well.
Bai Yishan looked calm and said only two words: "Be careful."
Luo Qingzhou understood his look, nodded slightly, followed the team, and left quickly.
The group quickly passed through the gap under the black light curtain and arrived outside the city.
It was getting darker outside the city.
Looking around, the sky was covered with dark clouds.
Countless black branches hung in the air, like ferocious claws, which made people's scalp tingle.
On the ground, dense tree roots broke out of the soil, and black fog lingered, almost occupying the entire earth!
Yuan Song stopped outside the city, looked at Liucheng in the distance with a serious expression, and said: "The team sent a message yesterday, saying that they were hiding in a pile of rocks less than half a mile away from Liucheng, trapped in the cave below by the magic tree, and temporarily supported by a magic shield. Let's go rescue them first, and then continue to Liucheng to investigate the news. The several teams sent out during this period of time, no matter which direction, have not found the traces of the monsters. This situation must be a problem. We must know whether there are still monsters in Liucheng, and where have they gone..."
Several people stood behind and listened quietly to his plan.
After he finished speaking, Zhou Yang of Piao Miao Xian Zong bowed and said, "Senior Yuan, I heard that the message for help was received yesterday morning. Have you received any more messages since then?"
Yuan Song shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No more calls were received. I sent them a message, but no one responded."
There was silence for a moment, as if everyone had guessed the fate of that team of practitioners.
"No matter what, we still have to go look for it."
After Yuan Song finished speaking, he glanced at a few people and said, "I'm in the front, you guys watch the left, right and back, those who are good at flying swords, watch up. As for the underground, everyone should be careful."
Everyone agreed respectfully.
Yuan Song said no more, holding a scarlet sword, and walked directly towards the black fog in front.
“Whoosh!”
As soon as a few people entered the black fog, a branch suddenly shot down from mid-air!
Yuan Song gently swung the red sword in his hand, and a raging flame suddenly appeared, burning the branch into ashes, and the flame continued to spread upwards.
At this moment, the sound of tree roots crawling rapidly could be heard from the ground all around.
At the same time, the branches hanging above their heads also stretched out towards the few people with their fangs and claws.
"Go! Keep moving forward, don't stop!"
Yuan Song waved the sword in his hand and walked quickly in front, killing the tree roots that were crawling over as he walked.
Others guard the left, right and top.
Luo Qingzhou and Fairy Zixia dealt with the tree roots chasing them from behind.
The crowd fought and marched at the same time without any pause.
To them, those sharp branches stabbing from the air and the tree roots crawling from the ground or drilling out from the ground were just large in number and not a big threat.
What they were most worried about was the sudden appearance of demons and monsters.
But the strange thing was that as they killed their way through, only the magic tree was blocking their way, and none of the demons and monsters appeared.
The Willow City ahead was shrouded in black fog, silent and eerily terrifying.
"Senior Yuan, look, there is a pile of rocks over there. Could those people be hiding there?"
At this time, Yue Wushuang of Piaomiao Immortal Sect suddenly pointed to a place not far to the right.
Yuan Song took a look, swung the sword in his hand, drew a flame, and repelled a thick tree root, and said: "Let's go and take a look!"
Several people immediately walked quickly towards the pile of rocks.
"Uncle Master, there is blood here!"
As soon as he got closer, the young man named Yang Fan from Penglai Fairy Island suddenly appeared and squatted beside a stone half a person's height.
Several people hurried over and saw some bloodstains on the stone chips on the ground.
At this time, those dark tree roots continued to crawl towards them, and there seemed to be more and more of them.
"You guys defend the surroundings, I'll find the cave entrance!"
Yuan Song said this, and immediately held the sword in his hand, his figure flashed, and he began to search carefully among the pile of rocks.
Others were chopping off the tree roots that were crawling over.
Not long.
Yuan Song suddenly swung the sword in his hand and slashed it on a rock in front of him with a "bang".
The rock instantly turned into powder.
A pitch-black cave suddenly appeared under the rock, and the bottom was not visible.
At the same time, there were still a few drops of blood at the entrance of the cave.
Yuan Song stood at the entrance of the cave, released his divine sense to investigate, and immediately said: "Come two people, go down with me! The others, guard the entrance of the cave to prevent any monsters and demons from appearing!"
Yang Fan from Penglai Fairy Island and Zhuo Yang from Piaomiao Fairy Sect both flew over together.
Yuan Song's figure flashed and he jumped directly into the cave.
Yang Fan and Zhuo Yang followed without hesitation.
The others slowly retreated and surrounded the cave entrance. They killed the tree roots that were crawling over and kept an eye on the situation around them to prevent the sudden appearance of the demon army.
One hour.
Two hours.
There was still no movement in the cave until the afternoon.
Neither Yuan Song nor the two disciples came out.
At this time, the roots and branches of the surrounding trees also stopped attacking.
The people surrounding him all became anxious.
"Why hasn't Senior Yuan come out yet?"
Yue Wushuang held a short knife in his hand and spoke solemnly.
"Did something happen down there?"
Wan Zhaoyi of the Tianqing Sect frowned.
Waited for another hour.
Zhou Yang from Piao Miao Xian Zong finally couldn't help but said, "Let's go down and take a look together!"
Chiyang Sect's Wu Dadao said: "If we all go down, what if the demon army or demons suddenly come? Otherwise, why don't we leave two people up there to guard and keep watch?"
Yue Wushuang said immediately: "If the demon army and the devils really come, what's the use of two people? The cave is so deep that I guess no one can hear us even if we shout. We must not separate. When we go down, we can just block the cave entrance with stones."
After discussing it, several people nodded in agreement.
At this time, Luo Qingzhou suddenly said, "I don't know what's going on in the cave. Even Senior Yuan went down and there was no response. I think we should continue to wait here, or send a message to ask. If we go down rashly and get trapped inside, it will be troublesome."
Zhou Yang looked at him and said, "I just sent a message to ask, but there was no response. There should be a formation underground that isolates us. We have been waiting for a long time, and it will be dark soon. If we don't go down, it will be dangerous to stay here. After dark, the attacks of the magic tree will be more crazy, and we are too conspicuous here. If we attract monsters and demons, it will be troublesome."
Wu Da and Wu Er also nodded and said, "We agree to go too."
Wan Zhaoyi and Chen Ruoshui of the Tianqing Sect also said, "Let's go down together. Perhaps Senior Yuan and the others have been attacked and need our assistance."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything else.
Yue Wushuang of Piaomiao Xianzong looked at him and sneered, "If you are afraid of death, just stay here and wait."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said calmly, "I am indeed afraid of death. My master and I have decided to wait here. You guys go down. If there is any situation up there, we will sound the alarm at the cave entrance."
When these words were spoken, everyone else frowned.
Zhou Yang said with a serious expression: "When we came out, Senior Yuan said that we are a whole and we must unite as one. It is best not to separate, or we will be defeated one by one by the monster tribe. Brother Chu, if you are afraid, you can follow us, but you two must not stay up there alone."
Yue Wushuang said sarcastically, "Are all the men in Dayan so cowardly and cowardly? It's really shameful."
Others also advised: "Brother Chu, let's go together. It will be safer together."
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's go together."
Yue Wushuang snorted coldly, walked to the side, lifted up a huge rock with one hand, and said: "You go down first, I will block the entrance of the cave."
Zhou Yang walked in front and jumped down first.
Then, the two brothers Wu Da and Wu Er from the Chiyang Sect followed closely behind.
Then, Wan Zhaoyi and two others from the Tianqing Sect also jumped down.
Luo Qingzhou stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down.
Fairy Zixia held his hand and comforted him, "Feiyang, don't be afraid, it's okay. Master will protect you and jump with you."
Yue Wushuang, who was standing behind him holding up the stone, immediately said with a mocking look on his face: "You are a great master, but you are not even as good as a woman, you are as timid as a mouse."
Luo Qingzhou still stood at the entrance of the cave without moving.
Fairy Zixia looked at him and said nothing more.
Yue Wushuang behind him couldn't help but yelled angrily: "Are you going to jump or not?"
Luo Qingzhou still stood at the entrance of the cave, looking down, motionless.
Yue Wushuang immediately shouted angrily: "If you don't dare to jump, then go back! Don't do it here..."
"boom!"
Suddenly there was a loud bang!
Luo Qingzhou's huge fist burst into black light and red lightning, and without any warning, it suddenly smashed heavily into her face!
"Card!"
The strong wind and protective light shield on Yue Wushuang's body broke apart instantly.
At the same time, the treasure light shield that was activated on his body was unable to withstand a single blow and shattered instantly!
The huge fist hit her face with terrifying force!
Yue Wushuang was completely unprepared and his head was hit and flew backwards!
She didn't even have time to put down the stone in her hand.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Luo Qingzhou followed like a shadow and threw out three punches in an instant!
The power of the Grand Master and the God Transformation Realm, as well as the power of the Bull Demon Fist, and the power of thunder and lightning, all fell on the face and head of the female disciple of Piaomiao Immortal Sect in just a short moment!
“Bang!”
Yue Wushuang fell heavily to the ground, and the stone he was holding in his hand finally fell to the ground.
Her neck, her entire face and her entire head were covered in blood and shattered into pieces!
She didn't have time to resist or even react before she was killed instantly!
And her soul was reduced to ashes in the purple lightning!
The strong smell of blood soon attracted the roots of the magic tree.
"puff!"
A dark tree root suddenly jumped out from the ground and pierced her body.
The evil spirit quickly enveloped her entire body.
Since she had lost her head, she did not stand up.
But the energy in her body was still integrated with the demonic energy and turned into a stream of air, flowing into Luo Qingzhou's body.
Luo Qingzhou loosened his fist, walked to the cave entrance, and looked down again.
Fairy Zixia, who was standing beside him, opened her mouth slightly and looked at him blankly.
At this time, Luo Qingzhou's voice rang in her ears: "Master, when you go down later, you must immediately get underground and hide under me, just like I did last time when I was in your cave. Remember, you must be under me, so that those magic trees or demons will not dare to attack you."
"They came out this time not to rescue people or spy on military intelligence, but to kill me."
Fairy Zixia's expression changed, and she said, "Feiyang, why are we going down there? Aren't we going to run?"
Luo Qingzhou's eyes gleamed, and he said, "Run? This kind of opportunity is rare, how could I run?"
He clenched his fists, and the energy in his body surged, beginning to flow along his meridians towards the pass.
And the pure vital energy that the woman from Piaomiao Xianzong had just given him immediately turned into a stream of energy and replenished into his Danhai.
The last time he broke through to the Grandmaster level, he had the mid-level Yuan Stone that Sister Yue gave him, as well as the low-level Yuan Stone that Master gave him, but this time...
"It just so happens that I need new energy, external stimulation, and the test of life and death. And here, I have them all."
He took out the second treasure, handed it to Fairy Zixia, and said, "Master, it's dangerous for you to be alone up there, so you'd better come down with me. With it on you, you can move freely underground. As long as you are below me, you will be fine."
Fairy Zixia immediately took the little white rabbit, stuffed it into her chest, and nodded seriously, "Well, Master will definitely stay under you obediently, no matter how long it takes."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her bulging chest and without saying anything else, he pulled her over and jumped down.
At the same time, he used the art of controlling objects to lift up the huge rock and block the entrance of the cave.
And at this time.
Inside the cave, after Zhou Yang and the others came down, they stopped not far away, stood separately, and looked up.
"What's going on?"
"Why haven't you come down yet?"
"Will the boy not notice it?"
"How is it possible? We didn't do anything, and we didn't say anything along the way... And the bloodstains are real, and the messages for help are also real..."
"Humph, unless that kid can read minds!"
At this time, Zhou Yang suddenly asked: "Brother Yang, where is Senior Yuan?"
At this time, the voice of the young man named Yang Fan from Penglai Fairy Island came from the darkness: "Uncle Yuan has gone to investigate ahead."
Then he whispered, "He is unwilling to intervene in this matter without the sect's permission. As for the things you promised before, Uncle Yuan probably won't want them. Uncle Yuan only gave them to Elder Sun for his sake..."
At this time, the man and woman from the Tianqing Sect suddenly pointed upwards and said, "It's coming down!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped talking.
