A clean area has been cleared at the bottom of the cave, and even the ground has been baked by Lu Ye's Fire Dragon Technique.
Several ropes hung down from above, and those monks with low cultivation level used the ropes to climb down. Of course, the main purpose was to facilitate escape...
Team after team held torches and headed deeper into the wormhole.
This is the first time for the Blue Blood Sect to deal with the insect tide, so there are two main tasks at the moment. One is to find the location of the insect nest. As long as the insect nest is found, the rest will be easy to handle.
Another one is to explore the underground environment and draw a map of the underground space.
The insect tide will not only happen this time, but will appear next time, but the location of the insect nest will definitely change. Spend more energy drawing a map now, and having a map for reference next time will save a lot of time and effort.
Lu Ye had discovered when he came down before that the underground extends in all directions and has many forks, almost comparable to the mineral veins of Xieyue Valley. He doesn't know how such a complex terrain was formed.
Exploring such a complex environment will definitely not be possible without a small number of people.
Lu Ye sincerely felt lucky that after the Lingxi Defense War, many disciples and attached casual cultivators were recruited to the station, otherwise there would be no one available now.
Suddenly, I remembered that Senior Sister Shuiyuan had mentioned before that since the Blue Blood Sect had opened its door to accept disciples, it would be better to open it wider and ask Lu Ye to recruit as many disciples and casual cultivators as possible. This is related to the future development of the sect.
Looking at it now, Senior Sister Shuiyuan must have considered the insect tide before giving Lu Ye such advice.
Lu Ye activated his spiritual power again and built a huge spirit gathering pattern here. This place would become a place for registered disciples and casual cultivators to heal and recover.
Hua Ci and others will also stay here.
After doing this, Lu Ye was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he recovered for a while and refined a few spiritual pills to ensure that his spiritual power was sufficient. Then he got up and headed towards the interior.
Along the way, the ground was covered with green insect blood, but the insect corpses could not be seen as they were all put away.
Soon they came to the second fork, and Lu Ye chose a random path and went forward.
The further back you go, the more forks you encounter.
After burning a stick of incense, he came to an uninhabited branch road, took out the Panshan knife, and moved forward while killing insects, exploring the terrain and searching for the location of the insect nest.
At this time, in this underground maze that extends in all directions, the disciples of the Blue Blood Sect and the casual cultivators were fighting fiercely with the Zerg in the forked roads.
The further you advance inward, the larger the Zerg you encounter will be, and accordingly, the strength will be stronger. As a result, the disciples will inevitably be injured. The injured will immediately retreat to the entrance of the cave along the original path, and receive treatment from Hua Ci.
At the same time, he took out the map drawn by his team and gave it to Hua Ci.
Hua Ci is responsible for gathering all the scattered maps and then drawing them into a complete underground map.
The progress was pretty smooth. Except for not finding the location of the insect nest, each team made good gains. However, as the insect pests they encountered became stronger and stronger, casualties were inevitable.
The life of a monk is like this. It is full of dangers. Yesterday, the companion who was drinking and talking happily and thinking about his future companion may become a cold corpse today.
One day later, Lu Ye, who was killing everyone in a fork in the road, received a message that the insect nest was found. The more people there are, the more efficient it will be!
He immediately turned back and headed back the way he came.
Half an hour later, under the entrance of the wormhole, Lu Ye returned covered in green blood.
Hua Ci treated the blood on his body, and Lu Ye used his spiritual power to evaporate the moisture on his body. After lighting up the surrounding torches, he and Hua Ci came to a table.
There is a map on the table, which is the result of a day's exploration by seven hundred monks of the Blue Blood Sect.
It can be seen from the map that there are a large number of underground forks, and they are winding and irregular. Many of the forks are connected to each other.
The map is not complete, and there are many places where I have not had time to provide feedback.
Hua Ci pointed at a location: "The location of the insect nest is here, but that place is very dangerous. Now Chen Yu has led a team to rush there, and Amber and Yiyi are also there."
Lu Ye looked at the map in front of him intently, and a clear route gradually formed in his mind.
He then looked at other routes on the map and said: "According to what Fourth Senior Brother said, the insect nest is a large underground space. There are many passages connected to this space. These passages will eventually converge towards the exit, which is where we are.
Looking at it the other way around, no matter which branch we take from here, the final direction is also the location of the insect nest!"
So if the entire map is drawn, the lines representing the forks on the map will form the shape of a spindle. At both ends of the spindle, one is the exit of the wormhole and the other is the location of the worm nest.
At present, most of the spindle has been drawn, representing the progress of the Jade Blood Sect monks, but now there is only one line connecting the two ends of the spindle, which is the line represented by the team that found the insect nest.
Other lines are still being advanced. Some lines are progressing very slowly because the overall strength is not high, while others are good and are almost reaching the underground space where the insect nest is located.
"I'll go to the insect nest first and have a look."
After Lu Ye finished speaking, he turned around and headed deeper into the wormhole.
On the cave walls along the way, there will be a burning torch at regular intervals. Almost every monk keeps a lot of these ordinary lighting items in his storage bag, because no one knows when they will be used, so be prepared.
.
His speed was very fast, and in just half an hour, he felt the sound of fierce fighting coming from ahead, as well as Amber's roar.
Looking up, I saw a ray of light flashing over there, as well as a girl's fierce roar!
"Seven-layer Zerg, Yinyin, stop it quickly!" Chen Yu's voice sounded.
Everyone now has a map of the strength of the Zerg tribe. The so-called seventh-level Zerg tribe is the Zerg tribe that is equivalent to the seventh-level monks.
"I'm a girl. Senior Brother Chen Yu, you're going too far! Ah, I'll fight you!"
Lu Ye turned a corner and saw He Xiyin, full of energy and blood, holding a large shield as tall as her in front of her. In front of her, a mantis taller than her swung a mantis knife, slashing the shield.
There was a clanging sound, and every time the knife fell, He Xiyin's body shook.
Although He Xiyin looks soft and cute, she is actually a self-trained practitioner!
When Lu Ye knew about this before, he was shocked. He didn't know how this small body contained so much energy and blood.
Since she withstood the seventh-level Zerg, Chen Yu, Yiyi and the others naturally let go of their hands and feet, unleashing a series of spells and weapons, killing the mantis in an instant.
But what followed was one huge Zerg after another.
"Back away, there are too many!" Chen Yu yelled. The movement here obviously alerted the Zerg in the insect nest. Several seventh-level Zerg, and many six- and five-level ones rushed out.
Before Lu Ye came, they had already fought and retreated, retreating a long distance away.
"The only way to practice physical training is to stand and die, not to retreat and live. I'm okay!" He Xiyin gritted his teeth, and suddenly his body became light and he floated back, "Huh?"
At that moment, she felt someone grabbed her collar and threw her away.
Landing lightly, he took a closer look and saw that a figure had appeared in his original position. There was a fiery red light flowing in the corridor, and the Zerg fell down amidst the roar.
When the long sword clinging to spiritual power fell, the seven-layer Zerg that jumped high and rushed directly broke into two...
"Lu Ye!" Yiyi shouted in surprise.
"Fifth Senior Brother!"
Shouts came one after another. Lu Ye shook off the blood on Panshan's knife and nodded slightly: "Kill first!"
With his reinforcements, the situation that was about to collapse was immediately stabilized. Under the light of the royal weapon, the Zerg were killed one by one, and everyone moved forward.
Lu Ye didn't use the sword anymore, the imperial weapon was enough. He even had time to observe Yiyi and Amber.
Amber has grown tremendously. She eats and drinks well since she came to the Blue Blood Sect. She swallows countless elixirs every day and comes to Lu Ye every now and then to ask for a blood line on her scales.
There is no intuitive judgment on the strength of Amber's strength today. After all, it is not a monk, but its demonic energy fluctuates during the battle, but it is no worse than a sixth-level monk. The golden demonic energy wraps around its body, making its whole body glow with golden light.
, majestic, when the tiger's mouth bites down, the hard shell of the Zerg can be broken into pieces. The huge tiger claws fall off, and a dent is immediately formed on the Zerg's body.
As for Yiyi... she initially wanted to learn medical skills from Senior Sister Shuiyuan, because Lu Ye was often injured, so Yiyi's biggest dream was to become a medical practitioner, so that she could heal Lu Ye's injuries anytime and anywhere.
However, dreams are just dreams after all. After being severely beaten by reality, the dream was shattered. For this reason, Yiyi was depressed for several days.
Later, Senior Sister Shuiyuan saw that she was too depressed, so she suggested that she learn the technique from the master. Yiyi didn't have much hope at first, but this time she opened the door to a new world...
Lu Ye never asked how Yiyi was learning magic, but she spent most of her time with her master.
Until this moment, I saw a Taoist magic shining in Yiyi's hand in various ways...
In fact, in private, the headmaster has praised Yiyi's talent in the art of magic more than once, and even speculated that Yiyi should have been a magic practitioner before turning into a wraith. Many times, the headmaster only taught him two or three times, and Yiyi was able to master the art.
The law is manifested.
She is Amber's companion ghost. She can be as strong as Amber is, so the strength she shows at this moment is equivalent to a sixth-level Dharma practitioner.
And because she is a spirit body, there is no such thing as a bias among the five elements, so she can perform any spell that belongs to the elements.
Her biggest problem is the recovery of her own strength. As a spirit, she cannot swallow the elixir. If she wants to recover, she can only hide in Amber's body and refine Amber's energy and blood.
Therefore, the source of power for the combination of amber and Yiyi is amber itself, which will intensify the consumption of amber.
