Chapter 104 Spring Hunting in the Hundred Mountains (44)
Seeing the hot magma, it instantly erupted from the mountain. Xu Yan and Bai Bing, who were in Dushan, couldn't help but look at each other, but then immediately reacted.
Not caring about the four powerful spirit beasts in the night sky that were constantly hovering and emitting an extremely thick aura, nor did they care about the various spirit beasts running around in Dushan, who were frightened by the volcano eruption. Xu Yan just looked at the magma that kept rolling towards him, and hurriedly said to Bai Bing: "We have to leave this place quickly and go to Nandong Peak. While Ziyun Luan and those spirit beasts jumping around are not caring about us now, otherwise we will be in danger when the volcano stops erupting."
Bai Bing also flashed a trace of solemnity in his very beautiful eyes, but there was no objection at all. He just replied: "Okay, then let's go quickly!"
Seeing that she had no objection, Xu Yan stopped stopping and turned around and left quickly.
The final distance from here to Nandong Peak was not too far, but the two of them were still cautious.
The scene of the volcano erupting before was something that Xu Yan and Bai Bing had not expected before entering the mountain, but they would never relax their vigilance because this incident attracted the attention of those powerful spirit beasts. Because when they set off again, in just three quarters of an hour, Xu Yan felt several dangerous auras with deeper cultivation than him, but due to the shaking mountain under their feet and the huge movement caused by the volcano, these spirit beasts had no time to take care of the two outsiders.
A "natural disaster" from nature finally calmed down after three hours of noisy, but at this time, even on the entire Wuzhou Continent, the sky was already bright because time had already reached about the second moment of Chen Shi.
Today's weather is no longer raining. Although there is still no warm sunshine in the sky, it is at least no longer covered with clouds. Instead, layers of white clouds as dense as cotton wool are gathering together, slowly moving, and from time to time, there are still many dazzling lights that penetrate through these clouds and fall into the most primitive mountains and rivers in Lingzhou.
Compared to the spirit beasts who gradually calmed down after the volcano no longer erupted, the situation of Xu Yan and Bai Bing at this moment seemed quite funny, because they were like two wild macaques, squatting on the branch of a huge ancient tree together, but their eyes were all focused on a natural cave in the valley in the distance.
There is no doubt that the only natural cave in front of us that can be found in Nandong Peak is where their fifth generation ancestors once practiced.
"What should I do? Junior brother, we can't just hide in the tree all the time, like a monkey."
When Xu Yan, who was thinking about his face, was also very ugly when he heard Bai Bing's voice transmission. The reason for the ugly was that they did find the cave recorded in the letter, but what was going to die was that this cave now seemed to have become the nest of the spirit beast.
Although in Xu Yan's perception, there were only two breaths in the cave that were much weaker than the mountain-moving ape, he did not dare to attack them rashly in broad daylight.
Xu Yan did not answer Bai Bing's question immediately, but just looked up at the sky above his head. Through the gaps of the layers of branches and leaves, he could still clearly see that under the white clouds, the four huge figures were still hovering and flying in the sky. In addition, the top of the mountain, which was obviously more than a hundred feet taller than where they were at this moment, was still rolling smoke coming out.
Finally, Xu Yan sent a voice transmission with some helplessness but calmness, "There is no way, we can only continue to wait." Seeing that Bai Bing was a little reluctant to speak, Xu Yan continued, "If we collided with the spirit beasts in the cave before these four purple cloud phoenixes flew back to their nests, then we would definitely be exposed. They were condescending and would definitely notice us at that time. I believe that Senior Sister Bai, you should also feel how terrifying the aura carried by these four purple cloud phoenixes are, especially the largest one. I guess it should not be far from growing to its peak period."
Hearing Xu Yan's explanation, Bai Bing couldn't help but sigh. As Xu Yan said, the pressure these Ziyunluans brought to them was too great, and they were definitely not able to compete with them now.
Bai Bing finally had to ask helplessly: "Then let's wait until they return to the nest before we can do it?"
Xu Yan nodded to this, but did not forget to remind him: "But after we take action, Senior Sister Bai must do her best and fight quickly. She must remove the spirit beasts in the cave in the shortest time. Otherwise, once the battle is delayed for too long, even if the attention of these Ziyunluans is not attracted in the end, it will also alarm other spirit beasts living in this Dushan.
When Bai Bing heard this, he immediately replied in a deep voice: "Okay, I should do my best."
About two hours later.
On the highest mountain, the rolling smoke was finally about to dissipate, leaving only wisps of smoke like gauze floating out of it.
When the Ziyunluans hovered in the air saw this scene, they made extremely harsh cry one after another. Then, the largest Ziyunluan, the first to dive down to the top of the mountain. During the whole process, it seemed to directly turn into a lightning and pass by the sky. It was so fast that it could almost be comparable to the flying swords that Dacheng Sword Cultivator had driven. Xu Yan didn't even react and disappeared.
"It's so fast. Not to mention whether the sword cultivator on the sixth floor can catch up with it after learning to fly on the sword. Even if the sword cultivator who has truly reached the upper third level can never be compared when flying in the air with all his strength, right?"
Hearing Bai Bing's amazement, Xu Yan nodded in agreement, but his tone was still very calm: "That's certain, there are thousands of spiritual beasts in the world, and they all rely on to survive. Spiritual beasts like Ziyunluan are already good at their own flight speed. If they can easily be caught up by practitioners, they should have been extinct long ago."
...
Another hour passed quietly.
The purple cloud phoenix that first entered the crater did not appear again, but cried to the sky again. Then, the three purple cloud phoenixes in the sky flew back to the top of the mountain after hearing the cry.
There is no doubt that the movements from the inside of the volcano finally came to an end.
Seeing that the most direct threat had been temporarily lifted, Xu Yan looked at Bai Bing beside him and said in a voice transmission: "I finally wait until they return to their nests. Without further ado, let's do it."
When Bai Bing heard this, he nodded to him, then followed Xu Yan and jumped off the ancient tree, and then walked quickly towards the cave in the valley in the distance.
The distance between the ancient trees and the cave is not too far, about twenty feet away. This is why Xu Yan chose to lurk on the ancient tree. Therefore, after only about ten breaths, he and Bai Bing tiptoed outside the cave.
Bai Bing followed Xu Yan tightly, not daring to make any noise, and asked in a voice transmission: "Little brother, what's the situation inside?"
Xu Yan carefully released his spiritual sense and sensed the situation in the cave. Seeing that there were still only two auras inside and did not give them warnings, he felt a little relieved and immediately replied: "It's still only the two auras before. Senior Sister Bai, remember, after we rush in later, we must take action quickly!"
Seeing his face solemn, Bai Bing became a little nervous. She controlled her flying sword to levitate beside her. After taking a deep breath, she spoke and said, "Don't worry, younger brother, I'm ready."
Seeing this, Xu Yan stopped talking nonsense. After nodding his head, he rushed in first.
The speed of the two rushing into the cave was almost the same. The moment they came in, they used their own flying swords according to the good combat method discussed in advance and shot at the two spirit beasts in the cave. However, when they saw the true faces of the two spirit beasts, they couldn't help but be shocked by them.
The two spirit beasts in front of them look cute and stupid. They should look like tigers, but it is obvious that they are completely different from ordinary tigers, because the hair they grow on them is all fiery red. In addition, they also emit the aura of a level five spirit beast. Even if you can see at a glance, they are still in the cub stage. Of course, this does not mean that they are still cubs and are not strong enough. On the contrary, this can better reflect how terrifying their bloodline is. It only reaches the level of a level five spirit beast shortly after birth.
You should know that in the entire Lingzhou territory, there is probably only the spirit beast like Ziyunluan, which can reach the level of a level six spirit beast as soon as its descendants hatch. The two young tigers in front of us can reach level five after they are born, which is also amazing.
"I didn't expect that it was two flaming tigers that had just been born." Bai Bing, who followed behind him, sighed lightly after seeing their bodies, but she did not have the slightest intention to withdraw the sword.
The next moment.
Although she had the cultivation of a level five spirit beast, the two flaming tiger cubs who had not yet learned to fight were completely pierced by two sudden sword weapons "One White and One Purple". However, although the flaming tiger chosen by Bai Bing was also pierced through the throat with her sword, because she did not pierce its head with a sword as accurately as Xu Yan, it still shouted a tiger roar before it was swallowed.
After killing two young tigers in an instant, Xu Yan and Bai Bing had no expression on their faces. They never thought that the spirit beast that had been waiting for several hours would be like this. If they had known this, they would have rushed in directly when they arrived here at dawn.
However, similar to this idea of "a hindsight", just thinking about it, has no practical significance at all.
After Xu Yan took back his Fuyao, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful. Although the cultivation of these two flame tiger cubs was born with good health, since they had not yet grown up, they naturally could not form inner alchemy in a short period of time.
Xu Yan looked around at the current environment and found that the cave here was so deep that they were at the entrance of the cave. Therefore, there was no trace of the fifth generation of sect masters practicing here.
So he turned around and said to Bai Bing: "Sister Bai, it seems that the place where the fifth generation of sect leader practice is still deeper."
After Bai Bing heard this, her extremely clear eyes glanced at the black hole leading to the darkness. She didn't say much, but just followed Xu Yan to the depths of the darkness.
However, what they didn't know was that just as they continued to penetrate the cave, a figure covered in blood also chased him here.
This man saw the two completely dead tiger cubs in the cave, and then walked up and checked them carefully. Without any accident, he saw traces deliberately left by someone on one of the corpses. This trace was very clever and most people could not notice it, because only those who had practiced the same sword technique like him could leave such sword marks.
Of course, this person was able to track him all the way, and he had already relied on the sword marks left by others on him, otherwise he would have been thrown away long ago.
Just as the man was about to rest in the entrance of the cave for a while and bandage the various wounds left by his body with the spirit beasts, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly came from outside the cave, and the speed of this aura approaching the cave made the man feel unbelievable.
Without any hesitation, the man immediately gave up his plan to continue bandaging himself, and quickly left along the dark cave.
A huge tiger with a dazzling hair color like a fire rushed into the cave at a speed of lightning, but immediately after it saw the corpses of the two young tigers, it burst out with an extremely shrill tiger roar.
There is no doubt that like the two young tigers, they are all flame tigers, but compared to their children, they have much more time to practice. Therefore, they are much higher in terms of their own strength and physical shape.
It walked slowly towards the corpses of the two young tigers with sadness, and its steps were a little staggering, which was a disaster it would have expected no matter what. Before, after hearing the helpless shout, it immediately felt a little uneasy, and therefore, at that time it immediately gave up its prey and ran back to its territory frantically.
However, when it really came back, it found that it was still too late after all, because its two children had been completely killed.
The huge flaming tiger looked at the cub who had just been born for only a few days but had died. A deep breathing sound was emitted between its nose. It stretched out its tongue and kept licking the blood on the two young tigers until it licked all the blood that had flowed out of the wound and stained with their hair. It then dug a deep pit on the ground with its front paws, then held their bodies in the pit with its mouth, and gently pushed all the soil it dug back into the pit.
After burying his child with his own hands, the flamed tiger still looked back at the soil behind it reluctantly. Then, a hot teardrop could not be suppressed from rolling and falling from its tiger's eyes.
It was not until it sobbed for a long time and turned its gaze away from the new soil that the entire breath of its body suddenly changed.
It no longer carries the previous sad aura, but becomes a strong hatred and murderous intent.
The flame tiger lowered its head and sniffed the deep cave. The bloody smell dripping on the ground was different from the children's bloody smell. It immediately locked its direction, and then it ran towards the extremely dark cave.
...
Xu Yan had been walking in this dark cave for more than half an hour, but he still had no sign of walking out of the cave.
Shortly after entering this cave, he discovered that the cave here was not always straight, but was curved and twisted, and it felt like it was twisting and turns, but this undoubtedly made the entire cave fall into endless darkness soon after entering.
Xu Yan led the way forward with the night pearl in his hand, while Bai Bing was always following him. However, after the two of them fumbled in the dark for more than half an hour, she finally couldn't help but say, "When will this cave be turned around like this? Junior brother, we won't find the wrong place, right?"
When Xu Yan heard this, his tone replied without any fluctuation: "We have carefully checked this Nandong Peak before, but we only found this cave. I think we would not go wrong."
"That's right, but I always feel like a maze in this darkness, hey..."
Xu Yan was a little discouraged when she heard her tone, and she couldn't help but frown, thinking that she shouldn't be such a person, but he didn't think too much about it, but just smiled and joked, "Sister Bai, you and I have all come to this position, maybe you will find an exit soon, why are you not confident?"
Bai Bing suddenly realized that his emotions had changed. He immediately turned around quickly and explained: "No... it's not like this. I just feel that we are leaving aimlessly..."
Before Bai Bing could finish speaking, Xu Yan, who was walking in front of her, suddenly stopped and almost made her hit his back. This was the second time this happened. Therefore, Bai Bing said angrily: "So what's wrong, junior brother?"
Xu Yan didn't care about the dissatisfaction in her tone, but just asked calmly: "Sister Bai, listen carefully, but what sound can you hear?"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Bai Bing listened intently for a while. After about five breaths, she said hesitantly: "It seems like... there is a sound of flowing water?"
Xu Yan nodded, "That's true that the sound of running water is indeed correct. The results of the two people can be the same, and the results will not be wrong. It seems that we should be not far from the exit."
Bai Bing did not answer when she heard this statement. She only flashed a hint of melancholy on her beautiful face. After a moment, her eyes were replaced by a strong sense of determination.
