Following closely in the footsteps of Mr. Su, everyone walked through the windy woods and came to the depths of the valley. As everyone moved forward, the thick fog was forced back several feet. Suddenly, a cave appeared in front of them.
Su Lao could see the cave, and the pace he had slowed down in order to keep up became a little faster. He drifted to the entrance of the cave in a few steps and looked around, as if he was recalling something.
The entrance to the cave is about one foot high, and the ground is covered with countless gravels. On the top of the cave, you can still vaguely see stalactites dripping with water. If you look too far, you can only see a black hole.
"Woo~~"
A gust of wind blew from the cave, and the sound was like the howling of ghosts and wolves, and the chill in it was obviously far better than the gusts of cold wind in the dead woods. Obviously, the wind in the dead woods blew from the cave.
The young disciples couldn't stand the cold, so they all used their internal energy to resist. As for Yin Xiuxuan, his physical condition had greatly improved after practicing the Xiantian Kung Fu, and he could still resist the cold wind without using his internal energy.
Mr. Su looked up and down at the entrance of the cave and threw a bottle of blood-producing pills that he had eaten for the first time to Yin Xiuxuan. Finally, he said to everyone without even thinking: "Go into the cave and take out the deepest pot. This mission is over."
It’s done.”
Upon hearing this, all the disciples looked at Yin Xiuxuan when they heard that the old man would not go in.
Yin Xiuxuan knew in his heart that there must be something different, but as long as he was still in Heishuimen, he could not disobey the words of the elder Su who was as good as the leader of the hall. He secretly gritted his teeth and said to the disciples: "Each of you, put your sword and
Get all the tools ready and follow me into the hole!"
A moment later, Yin Xiuxuan took the lead, followed by the disciples, and entered the cave. When they could no longer be seen outside the cave, a shrill and hoarse laughter burst out from under the old man's cloak, and then he murmured to himself.
Said: "This is the last batch!"
Yin Xiuxuan and others could not hear what Mr. Su said outside. Entering the cave, everything was pitch black. A group of ten people lit the fires individually, so that they could see a little more clearly.
The height of the top of the cave is about the same as that seen at the entrance. Under the sparkling firelight, the stalactites are still reflecting a little glow. Compared with the top, the ground is very flat. Except for a few stalagmites on both sides of the cave, there are stalagmites on the middle road.
It seemed to have been cleaned up, leaving only gravel that made a squeaking sound under everyone's feet.
We walked nearly a hundred feet, and as we entered deeper, the howling cold wind became more and more biting, and the chill became stronger. The two with the least skill among the nine young disciples could no longer stand the cold, and their breathing became rapid.
, and the other seven disciples with slightly more advanced skills seemed to be reaching their limit.
When Yin Xiuxuan saw this, he threw the porcelain bottle containing the Blood Pill to Wang Zhi and asked him to share it with everyone. However, he did not keep a single pill. He only used a trace of his innate power to move around his limbs, bones, and muscles.
The pulse gives the body a sense of warmth to resist the cold wind.
The nine disciples took the Blood-Producing Pill, exercised their breathing skills for a while, and their faces regained some rosiness. It seemed that the evil spirit in the iron ore was constantly stimulated with hot blood, resulting in blood loss, and this Blood-Producing Pill
The medicinal properties of the pill stimulated the medicinal properties of several blood-producing pills that I had taken before.
After adjusting the breath, all the disciples, with the support of the medicinal properties of the Blood-producing Pill, continuously produced warm blood, allowing the body to barely withstand the cold air.
The disciples couldn't help but feel happy when they found that they could adapt to the cold. But only Yin Xiuxuan knew that this situation was not completely beneficial to them. After all, blood production is a major instinct of the human body, and artificial urging will save the emergency in a short time.
However, long-term stimulation will damage the basic functions of the human body. Of course, Wei Jiang told Yin Xiuxuan these truths.
Wang Zhi was the first among the disciples to be good at regulating their breath. When he saw that everyone had finished regulating their breath, he asked Yin Xiuxuan if he should continue moving forward.
Yin Xiuxuan realized more and more that there was something wrong with this matter. After all, this was just his speculation, so he could not stop it with words, so he had no choice but to nod and move on.
After the disciples had benefited from the Blood Pill, they naturally thought that the previous countermeasures had been arranged, so there was nothing to worry about.
"oops!"
After walking for a while, suddenly a disciple behind him fell down and screamed.
Yin Xiuxuan hurriedly retreated and saw a disciple falling to the ground and asked, "What's going on?"
The disciple's eyes were frightened, and he pointed to the side of the cave while trembling.
When everyone followed his gaze, they saw nothing but darkness. Yin Xiuxuan took out a fire stick, lit it and threw it over, finally taking a photo of the ground.
"ah!"
One disciple exclaimed, and what he saw turned out to be a hand, or rather a hand bone.
Under the dim light of the fire, a pale hand bone connected to the forearm was spread out between two stalagmites.
Yin Xiuxuan took two steps forward, looked at the bones of his hand carefully, and then turned to look at the disciple who had just fallen.
The disciple was so frightened that he slurred his words and said: "I... I... I stepped on something and fell... fell... and when I saw it was bone... bone... bone, I... just...
Just throw it away!”
Unexpectedly, this disciple was so frightened. When Yin Xiuxuan took a closer look, he turned out to be Li Mo, one of the three herb gathering disciples.
When Yin Xiuxuan saw that he was a disciple of medicinal herbs, he was reluctant to criticize him, so he just looked at Lin Yu lightly.
Lin Yu was already embarrassed when he met the person he brought with him. But when he saw Yin Xiuxuan's eyes and the whispers of several mining disciples in his ears, Lin Yu felt inexplicably angry and aggrieved.
He kicked Li Mo's feet and shouted: "Get up quickly!"
Maybe it was Lin Yu's prestige, or maybe he calmed down. After being kicked by Lin Yu, Li Mo's eyes regained clarity, and he quickly got up from the ground and hid behind Lin Yu.
Yin Xiuxuan picked up the hand bones with a dagger, looked through them carefully, sighed and said to everyone: "This hand bone is probably from someone who came before. There is no sign of poisoning on the hand bones. It can be seen from the broken part
It was a cut with a sword, and it should have been caused by a fight with someone. Although it has been a long time, there is no guarantee that there is an ambush in front of me, so all junior brothers, please be careful."
After saying that, Yin Xiuxuan was about to take the lead and walk inside. At this time, Lin Yu stood up and said with excitement: "Senior Brother Yin, how about I and the other three be the vanguard, and Senior Brother is in the middle to provide support?"
Seeing Lin Yu's behavior, Yin Xiuxuan knew that he could not dissuade him. Even if he ordered him in the name of leading the team, it would only make him resentful, which would not be good, so he could only nod in agreement.
After accepting Lin Yu's promise, the anger in his heart suddenly subsided, and he led the other two people ahead. Just as he was about to take steps, he heard another gust of wind blowing in front of him, and the whining and hissing sound made him calm down a lot.
But now that he had spoken, he did not want to take it back, so he bravely stepped out. Yin Xiuxuan walked behind with six mining disciples.
After walking in the dark for more than ten feet, I saw a faint light ahead.
Yin Xiuxuan lowered his voice and said to everyone: "The place ahead should be where Mr. Su said, but I don't know whether it is dangerous or not. I must be prepared in case of any eventuality!"
After hearing this, all the disciples gathered their energy and walked toward the place where the light was.
As expected, after walking a few feet, I came to a stone room. The thing that shone brightly in the stone room was nothing but a jade pot on the stone table in the middle.
Lin Yu and the others were walking in front. Seeing that there was no danger in the stone chamber and that the jade pot was within easy reach, they went straight in greedily.
Just when they stepped into the stone chamber, a sudden strong wind blew up, and thick black smoke came out of the jade pot. With the glow of the jade pot, they could still see distorted human faces in the thick smoke.
Accompanied by heart-rending wails, he rushed towards the crowd.
