Chapter 30: The Secret Realm at the Bottom of the Cave
Because Meng Xiaodong was still young, Liu Yuan did not expect to fulfill his master's instructions so smoothly, so he had to say goodbye and took Meng Xiaodong back to Luoxiamen, leaving only Tianxue, Qi Yan and Zhang Qiang.
Tianxue had been walking around a lot these days, and she was really wasting her practice, so she suggested: "Why don't we go to the Misty Valley Forest? I had a lot of adventures last time I went there!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yan also agreed: "I haven't been to Migu Forest yet, and I really want to see it."
Zhang Qiang even raised his hands in agreement, saying that as long as he was no longer asked to go shopping with him, he could go anywhere.
The three of them discussed it and headed to the Misty Valley Forest.
After walking for three days, a few people arrived at the entrance of Migu Forest, only to find many immortal cultivators gathered here. Zhang Qiang asked a thin young man to ask: "Excuse me, what are you doing? Is there anything new today?"
"
The thin young man glanced at a few people and said contemptuously: "You are foreigners, right? There have been frequent movements in the Misty Valley Forest recently. Maybe a secret realm has appeared."
"Secret realm! What secret realm!" Qi Yan asked curiously.
"For seven days in a row, this place has been filled with red light, but no one can get close to it. We don't know what the secret place is, but it's probably about time." The man said mysteriously.
"I didn't expect we were so lucky to encounter such a good thing." Zhang Qiang said happily.
"Look, everyone, the secret realm is open." Under the noisy voices of everyone, the red light gradually dissipated, revealing the entrance to the enchantment.
"No matter, I'll go in and take a look first!" A young man took the lead in entering the secret realm. Seeing this, everyone else also entered one after another, for fear that if they were too late, the treasure would be snatched away by others.
"Then let's go in too and be careful." Tianxue suggested.
"Okay!" Qi Yan and Zhang Qiang were also itchy, and the three of them entered the barrier together.
After entering the barrier, Tianxue and the others discovered that the scene in front of them was completely different from that outside the barrier. It was completely a desert scene.
"I haven't seen a desert yet, but I didn't expect such a wonder to be found in the Misty Valley Forest." Qi Yan said in surprise.
"It feels extremely hot here, it's very different." Zhang Qiang noticed the difference in the environment and was confused.
"Where are those people who just came in?" Tianxue checked around and found that there was no trace of them.
"Ah!" Qi Yan exclaimed. Tian Xue looked around and saw that Qi Yan's ankle was being clamped by a large plier and pulled under the sand. Tian Xue took out the Bright Moon Sword and stabbed it with one sword.
The pliers were loosened, and Zhang Qiang quickly pulled Qi Yan out.
Tianxue had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he stabbed a few times under the sand, and a big scorpion was picked up. Only then did the three of them see its true face.
"This is called the Red Flame Scorpion, a second-level monster." Zhang Qiang recognized it at a glance.
"What kind of monster is that? Won't everyone else be eaten?" Qi Yanhou asked fearfully.
"I heard that red flame scorpions usually guard the fire essence stone, so there should be a fire essence stone here." Tian Xue flashed the letter he had read in his mind and quickly shared it.
"Then let's go forward and look for it," Zhang Qiang said.
The three of them searched together, and the Red Flame Scorpion appeared from time to time, and they were able to handle it with ease. Tianxue used the Bright Moon Sword, and the Red Flame Scorpion's pincers were severed with one strike; Qi Yan used his long whip,
It was a slight disadvantage, as it was not as useful as a sharp blade; Zhang Qiang smashed the Red Flame Scorpion into powder with one hammer; the three of them had an unobstructed journey.
Soon, several people followed the footsteps of the Red Flame Scorpions and found their lair. It was behind a pile of rubble. They saw that the entrance of the cave was more than half a person's height, so it must be the Red Flame Scorpion's lair.
Qi Yan looked at the bottomless hole and asked hesitantly: "Do we really want to go down? You can't see anything inside, it's a bit scary!"
Zhang Qiang walked in front thoughtfully and said: "Finally found it, of course we have to go in. You guys are behind, I will take the lead."
"That's right, the three of us will definitely be fine. Don't you want the treasure?" Tian Xue knew Qi Yan couldn't stand the excitement, so she said this deliberately.
As expected, Qi Yan's temperament was well guessed by Tian Xue. As soon as he heard this, he immediately plucked up the courage and said that he must go in and see what's going on.
Zhang Qiang then took out the torches from the storage ring, one for each person. After lighting them, he took the lead and walked in front, followed closely by Tianxue, followed by Qi Yanduan.
The entrance to the cave is only half a person high. When the three of them first entered the cave, they were a little cramped. They could only move forward in a semi-crouched position. It was very difficult to resist the occasional red flame scorpions. However, after walking for half a stick of incense, their eyes suddenly opened up.
There is a strange cave in the cave. It is not the work of the Red Flame Scorpion at all, but it seems like you have entered a cemetery.
"It seems that this place should be a cemetery. The Red Flame Scorpion has taken over this place as its lair." Tianxue came to this conclusion based on the scenery in front of her.
And as they got closer to the corridor, rows of torches automatically lit up. The three of them were startled, and they all maintained a defensive posture.
After observing for a while to make sure there was nothing unusual, Zhang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There seems to be no one else. It seems to be automatic. Maybe it is the setting of the mausoleum."
"Then let's go in and take a look." Qi Yan saw that the scene in front of her became brighter and she was no longer afraid. She was excited to go in and find out.
"It's better to be careful." After Tianxue instructed the two of them, she still walked forward vigilantly.
Suddenly, when the three of them knocked on the door of the tomb, a large stream of Red Flame Scorpions came out. The three of them hurriedly dodged and fought, and another fight broke out. It was obvious that the three of them were talented and brave, and soon the body of the Red Flame Scorpions fell out.
It's full.
When the last red flame scorpion was killed by Zhang Qiang, and the three of them looked at each other again, they were no longer as high-spirited as they had been at the beginning, and they were all in a mess. This shows that this fierce battle is not easy.
Now that the Red Flame Scorpions have been basically killed, the three people's progress has become much smoother. After passing through the corridor, they arrived at a large hall. The hall was filled with fire stones, and the red light shone, which was very pleasant.
"Wow! There are so many fire stones!" Qi Yan happily rushed towards them. After all, she also has both gold and fire spiritual roots, and she really likes fire stones with fire attributes.
"Let's put away the fire stone first, lest someone comes in later and another fierce battle begins." Tianxue seemed to hear some noise in the distance, and it was probably someone coming in too.
"Okay, let's move quickly. Someone is coming in." Zhang Qiang also heard the sound and quickly started to load the fire stone into the storage ring.
The three of them moved much faster together, and in a short time the fire essence stone was completely swept away.
"Okay, let's leave as soon as we're done. Don't leave any flaws." Tian Xue checked carefully and walked forward after making sure there were no traces.
Qi Yan and Zhang Qiang followed closely behind and walked further inside.
Unexpectedly, after walking for a while, the three of them noticed that the ground under their feet was becoming more and more sticky, and several huge red flame scorpions appeared in front of them.
"Everyone, be careful!" Zhang Qiang used the Clear Sky Hammer to fight with the scorpions, but he didn't expect that these were completely giant versions of the Red Flame Scorpions, not comparable to the little ones just now.
The three of them were a little powerless, and with a stabbing sound, Qi Yan's arm was also scratched by the scorpion's huge pliers, and blood flowed out.
"No, let's retreat!" Seeing the giant scorpion in front of him becoming more and more furious, Tianxue quickly called to the two of them to retreat.
"Run!" Zhang Qiang grabbed Qi Yan with one hand, dealt with the attacking giant scorpion with the other, and ran towards the way he came.
"Everyone, look, what is that?" Several people who were running for their lives in a hurry encountered another wave of immortal cultivators coming in. The leader screamed when he saw the giant scorpion behind the three of them.
"Stay back, I'll do it." I saw an old man throwing out several thunder talismans in succession, and the giant scorpion was blown back.
"What a powerful talisman!" Tianxue couldn't help but sigh. Most of the talismans he saw were elementary and intermediate talismans. He had never seen such a high-level talisman. He didn't expect it to have such a great effect. It turned out that he was just a little talented. Tianxue was heartbroken.
think.
In the blink of an eye, the old man threw out a few more talismans. When the giant scorpion was stunned by the explosion, a man with a long beard raised his spear and stabbed the giant scorpion with a whoosh. With a bang, the giant scorpion fell.
"Okay!" When several people saw the giant scorpion fall, they all cheered, and their morale was greatly improved.
With Zhuyu in front, several people worked together to attack the remaining giant scorpions. After a while, all three giant scorpions had fallen. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your help, senior!" Tianxue thanked him humbly.
"You're welcome. Since there is no obstacle, let's go forward and take a look." The old man also knew that everyone was just trying to fend off the enemy by chance. They were not helping each other chivalrously or taking credit, so he took the lead and walked forward.
Because Qi Yan was injured, a few people walked behind, with the old man taking the lead and walking in front.
When they walked to the place where the giant scorpion appeared just now, they discovered that the place was filled with various mineral treasures.
"Hahaha! It's not in vain that I have spent so much effort." A tall and thin young man's eyes widened when he saw the treasure in front of him, and he excitedly took it into his arms.
"It's just some common things, hum!" The old man has obviously seen the world, and is not very greedy for the items here. Instead, he is looking for something carefully.
"If you don't want to be the best, you still have one less person to share, hum." The young man ignored the old man and continued to hold the treasure in his arms.
The other people were also greedy. They took out their storage bags and packed them crazily.
Tianxue and the others looked at everyone's excitement, and walked over to pick out a few gems they liked, and stopped taking more to avoid causing trouble. After all, they had just obtained the Fire Stone, so they couldn't be greedy.
However, this action inevitably had more meaning in the eyes of the old man.
"Why did you guys stop?" the old man asked probingly.
"Thanks to the help of several seniors in defeating the giant scorpion just now, we didn't contribute much and don't dare to take credit." Tianxue said implicitly.
"You do have some eyesight," the old man praised after hearing this.
"It's just that your temperament will not be wiped clean." The old man laughed.
