Chapter Eight The Mysterious Cave

Although he was confused, but unable to speak, Xu You could only follow Lu Ping.

What he never expected was that this trip would last for five whole days.

During the five days, Lu Ping rarely spoke except for eating and replenishing water. However, during his break, he taught Xu You the magic of magic.

The reason why I taught Xu You was not for any reason, but because Xu You was traveling too slowly.

However, when he saw that Xu You had mastered the magic technique in just a few hours, although Lu Ping said nothing, something strange flashed in his eyes.

Although the divine movement technique is the most basic spiritual technique, even if you have good talent, it will take at least two or three days to master it completely.

This young man's talent is simply astonishingly high.

Xu You has never compared the speed of practicing spiritual arts with others, so he doesn't think it matters. However, he has seen Lu Xinyan perform magical skills and was shocked at the time, so he is very interested in this kind of magical power.

It's a pity that Lu Ping never taught him any other spiritual skills.

After learning the magic movement, Lu Ping unlocked Xu You's partially sealed spiritual power, and the two of them were traveling much faster.

Five days later, the two arrived in front of a deserted mountain forest hundreds of miles away.

This place is already far away from the Lu family. Lu Ping obviously had another purpose in bringing him here.

Xu You was calm on the surface and seemed to have accepted his fate, but secretly he was practicing Spiritual Consciousness Thorn all the time. He didn't know what Lu Ping wanted to do, but it would never be good for him, so he must do everything possible to improve his strength and find

Opportunity to escape.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Xu You will not give up.

Soon, the two of them walked into the depths of the mountain forest. Although it was a scorching day, the trees in the forest were tall and dense with branches and leaves, and little light came through, giving it a rather eerie feeling.

After arriving at an open space halfway up the mountain, Lu Ping stopped.

Xu You was suddenly startled. He saw four people standing side by side under the big tree in front of him.

Except for the fact that these four people are not very old, all of them are in ragged clothes, have sallow complexions, expressionless faces, and straight eyes.

Seeing the arrival of Lu Ping and Xu You, the four of them had no reaction at all. They were like four sculptures, still standing motionless.

Xu You felt terrified. He could naturally tell that these four people were breathing and having heartbeats. They were definitely not dead bodies. He just didn't know why they looked like this.

Lu Ping sat on a flat rock and waved, and four young men walked over blankly.

Lu Ping looked at their eyes, and then poked his fingers on the chests of the four of them one by one, as if to confirm something. After a moment, when he saw that there was nothing strange about the four of them, he stopped his strange movements.

Then he took out the medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a green pill, and threw it to Xu You: "Take it."

Xu You took the green elixir and suddenly understood something. He pointed at the four young people with dull expressions and asked: "After taking this elixir, will I become like them?"

"Yes." Lu Ping looked at the young man calmly, as if he wanted to see his reaction next.

But Xu You didn't react at all, and instead swallowed the pill in one gulp.

The young man's behavior surprised Lu Ping: "I thought you would throw it away."

"If I throw it away, I will definitely end up miserable, and I will still be forcibly taken by you." Xu You said calmly.

Lu Ping was startled and couldn't help but smile: "Xu You, you are such a smart man, what a pity..."

He did not continue speaking, but turned around with his hands behind his back, looking into the depths of the mountain forest in a daze. A complex expression suddenly appeared on his face, which was both excitement and expectation.

Xu You looked at Lu Ping's back and clenched his fists unconsciously, but he never made any movement. There was just a glimmer of light in his eyes that was not easy for others to detect.

Lu Ping smiled faintly. Although his back was to Xu You, he was aware of Xu You's every move.

The fact that he never resisted means that this young man is very smart and rational, and knows that resisting is a dead end, but it is more likely to be despair.

He turned around and waved, and the four unconscious young people automatically followed him. Then he asked Xu You to follow at the end, heading towards the mountain forest he was looking at just now.

Xu You was running the Spiritual Art while walking. After taking the green elixir, he felt a little fuzzy and knew something was wrong, so he used spiritual power to stimulate his mind, trying to keep himself awake.

But after just a moment, his consciousness became increasingly blurred, and he felt so sleepy that he just wanted to fall asleep. The strange thing was that his body was still following the person in front of him involuntarily.

Xu You was shocked and bit his tongue suddenly. The severe pain made him wake up a little. But not long after, the feeling of lethargy came back and became heavier.

He kept running his limited spiritual power, conflicting back and forth in his meridians, trying to use pain to keep his consciousness clear. But even so, he still couldn't suppress the increasingly strong feeling of lethargy.

Seeing that he was about to lose consciousness, Xu You was heartbroken and bit the tip of his tongue hard again.

Taking advantage of the brief awakening caused by the pain, he quickly reached into his arms, took out the panacea that he had worked so hard to obtain, and swallowed it as quickly as possible.

As soon as he finished all this, Xu You didn't know anything else.

After a while, the team stopped. Lu Ping turned around and walked up to Xu You. Looking at the boy's dull face, he smiled faintly.

He looked at Xu You's empty eyes, stretched out his finger, felt out a trace of spiritual power, and poked the young man's chest.

This spiritual power will turn into a fine needle and poke into the flesh, causing severe pain. If Xu You is pretending to be confused, he will definitely react to the pain. Even the smallest change cannot be hidden from Lu Ping's eyes.

.

Xu You remained motionless, always maintaining a dull expression, seemingly feeling no pain at all.

Lu Ping was completely relieved, turned around and walked to the front of the team, leading the five people forward.

Half an hour later, Lu Ping walked through the forest and led five people to a cave.

The cave was very rough. It was only half a person tall and less than half a meter wide. It looked very small. The entrance to the cave was blocked by a rock, leaving only a gap the size of a fist. It was so dark inside that nothing could be seen clearly.

Lu Ping asked two young men to move forward and remove the rocks, and then began to perform spiritual arts.

The speed of his spiritual arts was much faster than that of Chang Shan. In an instant, a fireball the size of a human head shot out from his hand and hit the entrance of the cave with an astonishing momentum.

Although this cave is made of rock, it will still collapse if it is smashed solidly.

But unexpectedly, a ripple-like air ripple suddenly appeared in front of the hole, blocking the fireball firmly.

With a roar, the fireball seemed to hit an invisible and hard barrier, bursting into pieces and turning into countless sparks flying everywhere.

The narrow entrance to the cave was not damaged at all.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ping's expression did not change at all, as if he was expecting it.

He continued to use spiritual magic, releasing fireballs to attack the invisible barrier at the entrance of the cave.

Fireballs burst out from his hands one after another and bombarded the entrance of the cave, making a huge explosion.

Under continuous attacks, the air ripples blooming from the invisible barrier continued to spread, becoming more and more rapid.

Finally, with a bang, the invisible barrier reached the limit of resistance and exploded.

The scene in front of him changed instantly. What was originally a small and inconspicuous cave entrance suddenly turned into a neat door three meters high and five meters wide.

The thick stone door opened wide, revealing the deep and dark passage inside.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ping's face suddenly showed a hint of excitement, but it soon turned into caution.

He drove Xu You and the other five people to file into the portal. He walked at the end and deliberately kept a distance.

The passage was about ten feet long, with several turns along the way. Although there were flashes of light on the walls of the passage from time to time, which made Lu Ping look very nervous, there was never any danger.

At the end of the passage is a wall. The wall is very wide, and there is an iron door in the middle. The middle of the iron door is engraved with strangely shining runes, but it looks a bit dim.

Lu Ping led four young people back into the passage, and then asked the leading young man to step forward and push the iron door.

As soon as the young man pressed his hands on the iron door, the runes flickered violently, and a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the door, piercing his chest with a click.

The young man's body was covered in green smoke, he raised his charred arms, fell to the sky, motionless, and was already dead.

Lu Ping's face turned a little pale, but when he saw that the runes on the iron gate became dimmer, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes again, and he asked the second young man to push the iron gate again.

The runes flickered again, emitting dozens of golden thorns like powerful crossbows, and easily shot the second young man into a sieve.

This golden thorn is extremely fast, and it can bounce off repeatedly when it touches the stone wall. Fortunately, Lu Ping and others retreated far into the passage, otherwise they would have been caught off guard and would have been furious on the spot.

Seeing this, Lu Ping couldn't help but retreat further, and drove the third and fourth young people up. As a result, both of them were killed by the attack from the rune without any suspense.

However, after being consumed several times, the runes became very dim. By the time the fourth young man was killed, the light was no longer continuous and only flickered faintly, as if it might go out at any time.

Seeing that victory was in sight, the look of anticipation on Lu Ping's face became heavier, and he urged Xu You to step forward without hesitation.

Xu You walked numbly to the iron door, pushed it with both hands, and the iron door opened immediately, revealing the spacious secret room inside.

The dim runes flashed for a final moment, turning into a blazing flame that instantly ignited on his body.

Xu You staggered back. Although he did not receive much impact, the high temperature of the flames was not something he could withstand. He just struggled a few times instinctively and fell to the ground twitching.
