When everyone heard this, their spirits were lifted.

Since the mountain is still in the valley, the water is also in the mountain. The previous idea of ​​tracing its source may be realistic.

Lu Shaoqing waved his hand and said: "Then follow the stream into the mountain!"

Zhilinsheng and others also looked excited.

Luo Qianqian glanced at Chu Yunqing, who was looking down and thinking about something, and asked: "Gang Leader Chu, what do you think?"

Ai Xiaozhou couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

When Chu Yunqing saw everyone looking at him, he shook his head, "I was just thinking, there are rumors that the Thunder Tribulation Valley is full of poisonous miasma, but it seems that I haven't seen any miasma along the way?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Yes, although the fog in this valley is heavy, it is indeed not as terrifying as the poisonous miasma in the rumors.

"Is it because of the operation of this formation?" Ke Fang asked tentatively.

Lu Shaoqing looked at Xie Lingzheng, "Junior brother Xie?"

Xie Lingzheng looked around, and his eyes fell on Chu Yunqing, "It is possible, but it may be that the fog is too heavy, preventing the wind from blowing through the miasma."

He is an expert in formations, and Lu Shaoqing and others are convinced by him.

Chu Yunqing was a little puzzled, but he would not question it verbally, but his suspicion and vigilance had not diminished.

"No matter what, let's go to the source of this mountain spring to see if it is the core of the soul-nurturing formation." Luo Qianqian suggested.

Everyone set off again.

…

Fortunately, the mountain is not far away, and we reached the foot of the mountain in a short time.

But the trickle turned into a small stream here, flowing out from a place like a natural cave at the foot of the mountain.

The cave looked two or three feet wide, like a secret passage leading to the interior of the mountain.

The water here is already a bit deep, and it doesn't look so clear because of the floating green algae. You can't see the bottom at a glance.

"There is only one side you can walk on." Zhilinsheng pointed to one side of the cave.

It looked like it could accommodate two people walking side by side, but it was just a slope toward the water. There were moss and some milky white stuff on it, and it looked very slippery.

And when you raise your head and go up, you can reach the top of the cave by jumping up and stretching out your hands. There are many pits and some places are still dripping with water, but the higher you go in, the higher the top of the cave becomes.

"I'll go ahead." Lu Shaoqing volunteered.

He is the planner of this entry into the valley, and he is also the most skilled in martial arts among the people in the sect. At this time, of course, he needs to step forward.

The brothers surnamed Zhi followed, with Zhilin still carrying Wen Ting on his back, followed by Luo Qianqian and Xie Lingzheng.

Ai Xiaozhou and Chu Yunqing walked side by side, Chu Yunqing took the initiative to walk to the side of the stream, and Ke Fang was at the end with Hua Xiaoyun on his back.

As we go deeper into the cave, it becomes darker and darker, and Lu Shaoqing and others have been prepared for it, and they all took out the luminous pearls for illumination from their treasure bags.

However, this night pearl is held by a wooden handle, so holding the wooden handle with your hand is like a torch, which is very convenient.

"We seem to have entered the heart of the mountain." Lu Shaoqing said.

"If there is a dead end ahead, all your efforts will be in vain." Zhilinsheng said.

"Don't say depressing words." Zhi Honghu shook his head and said.

Zhilinsheng pouted, and the hand on Wen Ting's hip scratched dishonestly, causing the latter to mutter something vague.

Luo Qianqian, who was walking behind him, could certainly see it, but she didn't say anything. It was just that when she and Xie Lingzheng looked at each other inadvertently, there seemed to be something unknown hidden in each other's eyes.

Bah!

Amidst the sound of water dripping from the stalactite above his head, Chu Yunqing subconsciously glanced at the source of the sound.

"What's wrong?" Ai Xiaozhou whispered.

Chu Yunqing shook his head. He was not sure if it was his imagination. The sound of dripping water just now seemed a little different from the previous one.

Bah!

Chu Yunqing frowned slightly, something strange!

"It must be the dripping sound of stalactites." Luo Qianqian noticed it, raised the luminous pearl in her hand, and said: "The moisture in this cave is too heavy, and water accumulation is normal..."

She didn't finish her words, because as she raised the luminous pearl, everyone subconsciously raised their heads to look up. When they saw it, their scalps suddenly became numb.

The cave ceiling, which was originally green or milky white, turned into a black and gray ocean at some point. There were bats the size of human heads hanging upside down, with scarlet pupils shining under the green light of night pearls.

.

The clicking sound just now was the dripping saliva.

"Ah!" Luo Qianqian exclaimed subconsciously.

"Don't make a sound!" Zhi Honghu's expression changed and he turned back to cover her mouth.

He forgot that the road he was walking on was a slope, and he didn't know who rubbed it. His feet became unstable for a moment, and he fell completely into the water.

"Honghu!" Zhilin immediately reached out to pull him away.

The bats overhead had already screamed and swooped over. Their vibrating wings stirred up a stream of smelly air. I don't know how many bats whizzed past the top of the cave.

The people standing on the slope were in a state of chaos. No matter how high their martial arts skills were, they were still unable to stand due to the impact of the bat.

"Dive into the water, dive into the water!" Lu Shaoqing shouted, holding his breath and jumping into the water.

Zhilinsheng couldn't care less about Wen Ting at this moment, and followed Zhi Honghu into the water while carrying her on his back.

Xie Lingzheng seemed to have resisted for a while, but finally got into the water.

Luo Qianqian kept waving her sword, and before entering the water, she glanced at Chu Yunqing, "Gang Leader Chu, you will die if you don't get into the water!"

Chu Yunqing looked at the pale green water under the night pearl, frowned, and then grabbed Ai Xiaozhou, who was hesitating whether to enter the water, and then stood up facing the cave wall, holding him tightly

Protect in your arms.

Ai Xiaozhou was startled at first, and then felt warmth in his heart. But looking at the black cloud-like bats, he couldn't help but said: "You are crazy, like this..."

Chu Yunqing smiled, and in the darkness, his whole body suddenly emitted a bright golden light, like the warm sun, like the Buddha's light in the pure land.

"Buddhist Kung Fu?" In the water, Luo Qianqian's face was wearing a mask with strange spiral patterns, and she looked at Chu Yunqing without blinking.

Chu Yunqing stimulated his energy and blood. Although he had practiced "Golden Light Mask" for a short time, it was enough to deal with bats.

Ke Fang also relied on his skill. He threw Hua Xiaoyun into the water, and then punched and kicked him, killing countless bats.

The largest number of bats still pounced on Chu Yunqing, but it was covered in golden light like an indestructible barrier. Even if these bats broke their claws, they could not bite him in the slightest.

After a while, some of the bats huffed and flew away, while others flew back to the top of the cave while hanging upside down. Everything became quiet again, except for the golden light around Chu Yunqing's body.

Lu Shaoqing and others came out of the water, gasping for air.

The mask on Luo Qianqian's face had long since disappeared. She was breathing heavily, patting her undulating chest, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but look at Chu Yunqing.

When Lu Shaoqing and others looked at Chu Yunqing, their eyes became more solemn.

"Are you not injured?" Ai Xiaozhou asked.

Chu Yunqing shook his head, and after calming down his energy and blood, he moved his hands and feet, and his muscles and bones crackled like exploding beans.

Ke Fang looked at his calm appearance without even torn clothes, and couldn't help but look down at his ragged clothes, covered in bat blood and looking like a beggar, and was envious of Chu Yunqing.

Why did I practice Iron Clothes back then?

He pulled off his rag-like hood and was about to fish for Hua Xiaoyun in the water, but instead he caught a bloody broken arm.

Ke Fang was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed drastically, "There is something in the water!"

Lu Shaoqing and others were shocked, and their minds that had just relaxed suddenly picked up again.

Zhilinsheng, who was still in the water, turned pale and ignored Wen Ting, trying to climb up with all his strength.
Chapter completed!
