As the spider swarm was successfully led elsewhere as if migrating, everyone's tense expressions finally relaxed.
From the rustling movements coming from the rolling white clouds and fog, they could clearly sense that there were at least sixty or seventy demon spiders, and the strength of each one was probably not lower than that of the Earth Soul Realm.
level.
If they hadn't invited the Bottle Spirit Sect to help out and have prepared a way to deal with such a phenomenon in advance, they would probably have fallen into trouble with many people.
Feixia was still a little arrogant at first, and felt that it was somewhat unworthy of the tomb owners to give up part of their resources to invite a mediocre force to help. However, along the way, she encountered dangers one after another and was resolved by many experts from the Bottle Spirit Sect.
Later, this gradually changed.
Once or twice, it may be considered a blessing from luck, but it cannot be justified by luck;
These people from the Bottle Spirit Sect must have real abilities!
At the same time, we also understand that the value of a force with a special nature such as the Bottle Spirit Sect cannot be judged based on its superficial cultivation strength;
In such a dangerous situation, even a disciple with an ordinary Earth Soul Realm cultivation level may be able to play a greater role than these layman Heavenly Soul Realm Soul Masters.
After Ge Rong saw that the situation was stable, he took out the ancient map and said: "The scene just now should be the area marked with a 'meter' in a white circle on the map. We are not wrong. We are not far from the final ancient ruins."
Already."
Red Scorpion laughed awkwardly in surprise: "I'm sorry that the broken rice mark is actually a spider. If I hadn't experienced this personally, I wouldn't have thought of it even if I tried my best."
Jiang Ruoyun also chuckled, "What's even more unexpected is that even this white circle is part of the mark, pointing to the soft bone demon miasma, but after personal experience, it is indeed quite vivid."
Fei Xia looked at the mark on the ancient map that represented the location of the secret destination, and wondered: "Since the word "rice" in a white circle is so vivid, what does the small sapling surrounded by a black circle in the end refer to?"
Red Scorpion echoed: "Small saplings usually represent vegetation. Could this mean that there are dangerous areas such as ghost vines and poisonous thorns at the end? You need to break through to see the ancient ruins?"
Sikong Tong said solemnly: "It's difficult to identify a single mark. I'm afraid we have to get close to that area to know. For now, we should focus on dealing with the dangers in the next area."
After everyone heard this, they looked at the next mark on the ancient map.
See it is a 'hui' shaped mark with a red cross symbol on it;
At first glance, it looks like a wrong mark or a wrong symbol.
Sikong Tong said after thinking: "In many situations, the sign with the word 'Hui' has a closed environment, and it means getting lost in circles. With this blood-red cross symbol, the area we are going to next will probably be lost in a circle.
It’s much more confusing than the usual difficult-to-find directions, so you need to be more careful.”
After hearing the words, Red Scorpion quickly passed on the message, causing the many elder disciples of Qing Tomb to concentrate even more. They pulled each other with long ropes so that they could look after each other and grow into a dragon.
Ge Rong looked at Sikong Tong's bulging belly, and considering the increasingly dangerous environment, she once again couldn't bear to persuade her: "Tongtong~ Let's stop here. Let Aunt Rong lead the rest of the way. You...
"
Sikong Tong shook his head with a firm look and said resolutely: "If we go back now, the people in the family will be even more divided. I'm afraid I will be stigmatized as a deserter. Don't worry, Aunt Rong, I will be careful."
Ge Rong sighed helplessly: "This is not something to be careful about. Your body has always been weak. If you hurt the fetus, I'm afraid..."
Sikong Tong said bitterly: "When my mother was pregnant with me, she was buried in a vicious tomb. She could do this for my father even if she were not the sect leader. How could I embarrass them?"
When Ge Rong heard this, his expression became even more gloomy, and his heart was full of sorrow;
She was the clearest about what happened back then. It could be said that it was precisely because of the injuries left by that murderous tomb that the sect leader's wife couldn't hold on and died after giving birth to a daughter.
She didn't want Sikongtong to make the same mistake again and experience the same thing as before.
At this time, Red Scorpion approached slightly awkwardly, "Well, we don't seem to have a rope of appropriate length."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were rustling sounds at the end of the team. Along the way, someone took out a suitable rope, and it was only long but not short, and was passing it one by one.
Hong Scorpion's face became even more embarrassed, "Yes, but I didn't take it out earlier."
Fei Xia and Jiang Ruoyun looked at this scene, completely treating it as a situation that the disciples at the back of the team could solve casually, and did not pay too much attention to it.
However, Sikong Tong and Ge Rong couldn't help but glance at the rope passed in everyone's hands. They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
This is clearly the "rock climbing silk rope" unique to the burglar door. It is famous for its strong toughness and high quality. It will not break even if hundreds of normal adults are hoisted.
The key point is that there is a silkworm spirit fruit embedded every half meter inside the rope. When stirred with spiritual energy, it will make a crisp sound, which is perfect for the scene at hand.
This is definitely not a rope that ordinary disciples can take out unintentionally!
There are colleagues among the team!
Sikong Tong and Ge Rong remained silent and glanced at the end of the team. Next to the disciple holding a lamp at the end, they all saw a familiar figure;
Although the man was disguised, when they looked at each other and made a deliberate gesture to steal the door, they were able to identify him at a glance.
‘It’s Wu Ying!’
‘He actually sneaked into Qing Tomb’s team and followed him!?’
After a quick glance, the two of them couldn't help but have a smile on their faces.
It's just that Wu Ying's appearance at this moment is really funny. She is actually wearing the regular clothes of a female disciple of Qing Tomb, with rouge on her face. From a distance, she looks like a little widow who has been bullied by a man.
If it weren't for that gesture, it would be extremely difficult to identify it easily.
Ge Rong knew the methods and abilities of Wu Ying, an orthodox burglar, and the uneasiness in her heart suddenly disappeared. With him here, their chances of success in this trip would increase by at least 30 to 40%.
As for why the current situation appeared, it was probably because the latter accidentally learned about Qing Tomb's repeated setbacks before, and sneaked in to overhear the news about the ancient ruins.
After all, it is not surprising that Wu Ying would do such a thing with his temperament.
"Tongtong," although Ge Rong no longer tried to persuade her, her expression was extremely serious, "If you encounter danger later, you must not be too far away from Aunt Rong."
Sikong Tong felt warm in his heart and nodded softly.
Jiang Ruoyun listened to the conversation between the two and said with concern: "Master Sikong~, if you encounter danger, you can also come to my side. Although I am not as powerful as Elder Ge Rong, I will definitely try my best to protect you and your baby.
"
Sikong Tong was stunned and continued: "Thank you, Miss Yunfeng, for your kindness. Then I will help you, Miss Yunfeng."
She knew clearly that Yunfeng's words did not come from the friendship between the two, but from the compassion for the fetus in her belly.
In this regard, out of the protection of her children, she naturally would not have the heart to refuse.
After the team was reorganized, they marched again.
Red Scorpion held Jiang Ruoyun's arm tightly and communicated calmly: "That beauty sect master is probably a poor person, and he met an irresponsible heartless man."
Jiang Ruoyun replied: "I didn't hear her mention anything about the child's father during this whole journey. Maybe it's not what you think. It was just that I had no choice but to accept this commission alone."
Red Scorpion said angrily: "If that's the case, then her husband is worse than a heartless man. He actually let a pregnant mother take such a dangerous risk. She deserves to die!"
Jiang Ruoyun smiled peacefully and didn't know what to say.
But Red Scorpion said angrily: "If she encounters any danger later, she must ask clearly before she dies. We must not let the heartless man have an easy time. We are both women, so we have to help her."
Jiang Ruoyun listened calmly and didn't pay too much attention. Unless Qing Tomb received a similar commission, she would not have the leisure to care about other people's private affairs.
With this kind of time, she would rather stay with Brother Feng, even if it was just eating melon seeds and chatting, it would be better than this.
After traveling for several more miles.
After Ge Rong once again scared off a ferocious beast at the earth soul level, he stopped.
Sikong Tong immediately understood and looked at the compass in Ge Rong's hand, "Is it malfunctioning?"
Ge Rong nodded solemnly, "The compass used to identify directions has lost its direction in this area."
When Hong Scorpion, Jiang Ruoyun and others heard this, their expressions froze at the same time, and they looked nervously at the people of the Bottle Spirit Sect, hoping that the latter would have a different way of dealing with it as they had along the way.
Sikong Tong took out a gourd-shaped jade bottle and said, "Aunt Rong, can this 'nuclear boat water hyacinth' work?"
"Try it," Ge Rong wasn't sure if it would work. She glanced behind her intentionally as she responded, meaning that if there was really no other way, she might have to reveal her identity and use the special means she used to break into doors.
Sikong Tong calmed down, opened the mouth of the jade bottle gourd, poured some dark green liquid into the bottle, and then took out an object the size of a fingernail and threw it in.
Cover the gourd, shake it vigorously, and place the jade bottle horizontally on the palm of your hand;
Jingxin felt it.
Red Scorpion pulled Jiang Ruoyun again and asked curiously: "What method is she using? Did you see what she put into the jade bottle just now?"
Jiang Ruoyun nodded secretly: "It seems to be an exquisite and small boat, as if it was carved out of walnuts."
Red Scorpion's eyes lit up: "I thought I saw it wrong, but it turns out it is really such a gadget. Can you tell the direction with this?"
Ge Rong was a little unhappy when he saw the two women whispering behind their backs, and explained aloud, "This thing is our sect's secret technique for identifying directions. It is made of our sect's special spiritual liquid, supplemented by the Yin Yang Iron Wood Core Tree."
Made from the fruit of.”
"Yin Yang Iron Wood Core?" Feixia on one side was stunned and asked in surprise: "Is there really such a strange tree species in the world?"
Red Scorpion was startled, "Aunt Fei, have you heard of it?"
Ge Rong stated: "The world is so big that it is full of wonders."
Feixia said with a hint of surprise, "It is rumored that the stone fruits produced by this tree grow on the branches during the day, fall off at night and take root in the ground. When the next day dawns, they will be led to the trunk again, and the cycle repeats until they mature. But is it true?
"
Ge Rong nodded, "That's true. The secret technique of our sect is achieved by infinitely amplifying the special gravitational force between the stone fruit and the tree trunk."
Sikong Tong let out a long sigh of relief and said in surprise: "Aunt Rong, it's feasible. The chaotic environment here has not blocked this special gravity, and we can still sense the specific direction."
In the jade bottle at this moment, the tiny kernels floating on the dark green juice are just like a small boat in the ocean, always traveling in a fixed direction and not shaken by wind and waves.
After finding a way to maintain a specific direction, everyone continued to move forward along the marked area indicated by the ancient map.
It took about half a stick of incense.
A faint strange fragrance suddenly came.
Red Scorpion looked at Sikong Tong warily: "Is this fragrance weird? Is it toxic like hallucinogens? Can people get lost here?"
Sikong Tong shook his head and said softly: "It's just an ordinary herbal fragrance, not toxic."
Jiang Ruoyun nodded in agreement, and could vaguely see birds perching on many tree trunks around him. From this point of view, it really didn't look like a poisonous tree.
Red Scorpion was a little less vigilant.
As we went deeper, this vigilance couldn't help but emerge again.
"You've been walking for so long and you still haven't left this fragrant forest?"
"Could it be that we have lost our way and are spinning?"
There was a hint of uneasiness on Red Scorpion's face.
Jiang Ruoyun said softly: "Every tree along the way is different. We have not walked the same road. It should just be that this fragrant forest is larger."
Sikong Tong's face was a little less calm than before, and he looked at Ge Rong with a hint of suspicion, "Aunt Rong, supposedly we have entered the area marked with the word 'Hui' on the ancient map. It's time for danger to appear.
, shouldn’t be so calm, do you think these fragrant trees will..."
Ge Rong didn't react and answered blankly: "Is there something wrong?"
A hint of uneasiness appeared on Sikong Tong's face, and he further said: "I vaguely remember that in a handbook left by the ancestors of the sect, there seems to be a mention of a type of tree with a strange fragrance. With its strange fragrance, it can attract some
special……"
Before he finished speaking, a noisy 'buzzing' sound suddenly approached from a distance.
Sikong Tong's heart suddenly pounded, and he said the last two words of his words in a daze - "Phantom Bee"!
Ge Rong shuddered when he heard the noisy movement, and finally came to his senses:
"The dark fragrance leaves the soul, the ghostly dream bee!"
Sikong Tong was suddenly startled. Seeing that Yingying had caught up with his suspicion, he hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, be careful! The Dream Bee has the characteristic of sprinkling hallucinogenic poisonous powder like a butterfly. It can be controlled by using water and soil to move Qi."
While shouting, the black swarm of bees came over like dark clouds passing by.
"snake……"
Panic sounds came one after another from the crowd behind them. One after another, they let go of the rope in their hands and jumped several feet away as if they were running away.
Combined with the screams, it was as if he had been tranced into a hallucination, and he saw the ropes in his hands as poisonous snakes...
