"Ma Chong, do you still think of me as a senior brother in your eyes? Don't you understand my status in Duotian Mountain? Am I giving you some face?"
Huan Zhuo finally couldn't bear it any longer and reached out to grab Ma Chong's shoulder as he was about to jump into the cave. He still had the same unruly look on his face and shouted proudly.
"Humph" he raised his hand and swiped it away. Huan Zhuo's hand was thrown away rudely, and he turned his head and glared coldly.
"Face, you still know what a face is! Is this Duotian Mountain? Is this the ancient wilderness continent? Is there anyone else here besides you and me?"
These three consecutive questions instantly made Huan Zhuo a little overwhelmed. He didn't understand what the other party was going to say, but his heart sank slightly, because the answers to these three questions could all be answered with a "no".
He curled his lips disdainfully and then raised his chin slightly. This was the first time Huanzhuo saw Ma Chong like this. Ma Chong had always been a gloomy and low-key person. Even when the senior brothers discussed things, they often just expressed some opinions.
I will never take the initiative to fight for anything, let alone make strong demands on others.
But his current appearance was completely different from the usual Ma Chong, which made Huan Zhuo feel even more unsure.
"Ever since we were in the Xuanwu Empire, all actions have been decided by you and obeyed your command. Liu Liang and I did not agree to let the weakest Junior Brother Li go to assassinate him, but you strongly advocated that he go alone.
What was the result? Junior brother Li died tragically at the hands of the other party, causing a large group of us to travel almost across half of the Xuanwu Empire to get here.
I suggested to wait and see for a while, and not to take action rashly, but you just refused to listen, and pretended to be sophisticated and said that "the fisherman gets a profit". Did you get a profit? You didn't even get a shit, and the result will be the same.
All the other brothers and sisters were buried here, and now you still have the nerve to give orders. I’m afraid your skin is thicker than this!"
"you……"
Huan Zhuo pointed at Ma Chong tremblingly, but couldn't say anything else except the word "you". Because Ma Chong was right, and there was nothing wrong with his words and judgments. Although Huan Zhuo was embarrassed,
He was furious, but unable to argue.
His command ability is indeed insufficient. To be fair, among the six brothers, the one with the best mind and the best command is Ma Chong. Huan Zhuo himself is not even as good as Liu Liang, but his status is special. After all, his name is
There is also a condescending word "phantom" on his head.
But the situation is different now. Just like the three questions Ma Chong originally asked, this is not Duotian Mountain, it is not an ancient wasteland, and there is no one else here anymore. Not only is my scheming and scheming inferior to Ma Chong, but even my cultivation and
The fighting power is not as good as the opponent's.
Huan Zhuo, whose face was red and white, suddenly said: "Don't forget, if I hadn't used the only life-saving shield before, neither of us would have survived until now."
Zuo Feng had noticed in advance that the powerful aura was approaching, and immediately turned to another fork in the road with Amber, successfully avoiding the second "air wave collision". Huan Zhuo and Ma Chong realized it a little late.
, but Ma Chong reacted very quickly and reminded the opponent to use the "life-saving shield" at critical moments.
The life-preserving shield is a combination of the formation jade and the trapped spirit stone, which can instantly support a defensive shield to withstand a full blow from a peak powerhouse in the Qi-sensing stage.
This life-saving shield was given to some meritorious disciples by Duotian Mountain, and most of the disciples with the surname Huan were able to get one because of their close relationship.
Because the second ferocious beast also just passed by and did not take the initiative to attack with all its strength, the two of them were only knocked into the stone wall under the impact. The scream was actually the two of them colliding in the shield.
We were together, even though we were hurt, it wasn't too serious.
However, the two of them did not die in the second "air wave collision", but were almost buried in the collapse of the top of the cave. What's even more terrible is that the two of them managed to escape with their lives and escaped down the shaky cave passage.
After walking for a while, we unfortunately encountered a ferocious beast that was digging.
With the strength of the two of them, they could have been able to deal with the ferocious beast, but that was only if the ferocious beast did not use its innate skill "Black Mist".
When the black mist enveloped the two of them, their cultivation and actions were immediately suppressed. At the same time, the use of spiritual energy was also a big burden. It was difficult to defeat the ferocious beast, but the other party suddenly made a sound to summon nearby companions.
, the two fought hard again, and finally collapsed part of the cave passage, and then they escaped here.
Looking at Huan Zhuo coldly, Ma Chong suddenly laughed, but the smile was gloomy and cold, and he said with a smile: "This reminds me that the life-saving shield is your last resort.
Well, if you want to leave, I won't stop you, especially if you want to go up, I have no objection. The ferocious beasts I saw before are all above now, and the space above is extremely stable.
I won’t stop you if you want to go, but I want to go down, and I want to get out of here alive.”
After saying that, Ma Chong ignored Huan Zhuo, but turned around and was about to jump down the hole. However, he heard behind him, Huan Zhuo said hesitantly: "Wait, wait, the collapse above is so severe now. I...
I'd better go down there with you and try my luck."
Ma Chong smiled and nodded, and said: "It's not bad. You got the idea so quickly. You said you had been so good a long time ago, and those brothers and sisters would not have died. The most important thing in being a human being is to have self-knowledge and act according to my words.
Maybe I can hope to take you out of here."
As he spoke, Ma Chong slowly turned his head and jumped down from the cave without hesitation. At this time, a sinister smile flashed across Ma Chong's face. The smile was full of pride. He had been suppressed by Huan Zhuo for so many years.
On top of his head, even though he was better than the other party in every aspect, he still had to obey his orders. Now that he was finally proud and proud, he felt secretly happy for a while.
It's just that he didn't notice that Huan Zhuo's expression at this time was different from before. Although the proud look on his face was gone, there seemed to be endless resentment and hatred hidden under the calm face.
The location where the two people jumped was naturally the same cave that Zuo Feng and Hu Hu went down before. Huan Zhuo and Ma Chong were lucky enough to escape here in a hurry. The two people who were originally here were
This ferocious beast had been successfully dealt with by Zuo Feng, otherwise they would not have gone down so smoothly.
However, after reaching the passage below, the path chosen by Ma Chong was completely opposite to that of Zuo Feng.
Coming down from above, although the passage extends to the left and right, turning left is all the way downhill, while going right slowly extends upwards. Ma Chong has decided to go down, so naturally he will follow the path on the left and go down.
And go.
Zuo Feng, who had already explored the surrounding area, not only had an understanding of the surrounding passages, but also had a vague guess about the entire underground "cave city".
Therefore, Zuofeng judged that the left path would be approaching the center of the underground cave. Although the right path temporarily climbed upwards, as long as it extended forward for a while, there would be a fork in the road going downwards. The most important thing is that this road would go toward the entire "
away from the edge of "cave city".
According to Zuo Feng's judgment, those ferocious beasts should be opening closed caves everywhere, so they will inevitably disperse completely. The closer to the central part, the number of ferocious beasts will be relatively larger and the danger will be greater, so Zuo Feng only
This path will be chosen.
In such a cave maze, one may encounter ferocious beasts at any time and place. The disciples of Duotian Mountain and Zuo Feng made two different choices at the same location, and then two completely different choices emerged.
Effect.
Zuo Feng and Amber started to move forward without any danger, although they chose to be close to the edge. Sometimes they often walked into dead ends, but they did not encounter any danger.
During almost two hours of non-stop movement, the two of them only encountered a ferocious beast once again. And with the advantage of their talents and skills that they were not afraid of ferocious beasts, they killed the ferocious beast without any surprises.
.
Of course he would not let go of the corpse. Amber directly used his mouth to suck up all the essence and energy from the beast. Even if Amber wanted to suppress it, facing the abundant energy in his body that was about to explode, he had no choice but to choose to kill Xiu.
To improve again.
He was directly promoted from the sixth level of the tendon-tempering stage to the eighth level of the tendon-tempering stage, and he is about to reach the threshold of the Qi-sensing stage. If he can improve so quickly and can quickly stabilize his cultivation, I am afraid that everyone will be happy.
Flowers.
However, Amber's body was obviously undergoing a change. Without knowing what the alien beast belonged to, and whether the blood of the dove bird would have a more violent backlash in the body, both Zuo Feng and Amber behaved a little bit.
Worried.
However, now that they had decided on the direction to move forward, Zuo Feng and the two of them kept moving forward with their goals in mind. Although they took some detours, they did not really encounter any danger.
The two people from Duotian Mountain were a bit pitiful. Although their goal was to head down the cave, they rushed into an area where ferocious beasts gathered.
If the two separated from Zuo Feng at the same point, they would have walked less than half a quarter of an hour before they encountered a ferocious beast. After a fierce battle, the two had just gained the upper hand when the ferocious beast on the opposite side began to summon.
companion.
The two people hurriedly used all their strength to injure the ferocious beast and fled. If they had not escaped in time, they might have been surrounded by the ferocious beasts that arrived immediately. However, not long after they escaped, they encountered a digging beast again.
The beast of the cave.
At the critical moment, the ferocious beast whistled, and the two of them collapsed part of the cave, as if they had been stabbed in the vital point, and continued their escape.
In the process of Huan Zhuo and Ma Chong's frantic escape, at one point they were very close to Zuo Feng and the others, less than three feet away from each other, but they were in different caves.
Both parties had no idea that the other side was near them. Zuo Feng and Hu Hu continued to move forward calmly and looked for a downward path. Ma Chong and Huan Zhuo continued to run for their lives in a panic, trying to get rid of the approaching murderers behind them.
