Shi Chengtian was obviously very sensitive to this kind of monster, and kept reminding the two of them how many there were around them.
Han Qianxue said: "No wonder there are rumors that many people will disappear inexplicably after entering this misty forest, and they may be dragged away by these beasts in a daze."
Fortunately, with Jiang Fan's elixir, the three of them can stay awake at all times, and can deal with it clearly even if something unexpected happens.
Zhizhi——
A harsh sound sounded from the fog.
There were more and more sounds, coming from all directions, including the cries of shadow rats.
They seemed to be calling each other, and they seemed to be hunting them in an orderly manner.
Unknowingly, the three of them seemed to have fallen into the siege of shadow rats. These shadow rats were obviously very smart.
A delicate dagger appeared in Han Qianxue's hand, and she looked at her coldly.
"There is no other way, let's fight. I didn't expect to be surrounded by a group of rats."
Jiang Fan actually laughed and looked at Shi Chengtian.
"How does the Beast King feel when he is surrounded by a group of rats?"
Shi Chengtian was obviously very unhappy.
"They're just a bunch of reckless things. Let's eat rats tonight."
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "I want to eat you, but I can't eat it."
The three of them stopped and stood with their backs to each other, waiting for the Shadow Rat to appear.
Jiang Fan's smile faded and he released his consciousness, only to find that the shadow rats had disappeared.
He reminded the two of them: "They are still underground! Lion, force them out!"
Shi Chengtian nodded and concentrated his strength on his right foot again.
"The earth shook!"
Bang——
This time it was much stronger than the previous one.
Accompanied by the explosion, several shadow rats jumped out of the ground in embarrassment.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them started moving at the same time.
Jiang Fan raised flames with his hands and swatted at the nearest one. The shadow rat in the air could not escape at all and was instantly engulfed by the flames.
Jiang Fan pulled out a long knife with his other hand and killed it with one blow.
Han Qianxue was incredibly fast, and the dagger in her hand flashed through the air, as if turning into a silver ray of light.
Wherever it passed, the thick fog seemed to be cut open, showing its sharpness.
The Shadow Rat's head was then chopped off.
Her strikes were steady and ruthless, allowing Jiang Fan to feel her realm for the first time, reaching the middle stage of the Xiantian realm!
As for Shi Chengtian, his approach was simple and crude.
Although the shadow rats were nearly half a meter long, he could still grab one with each hand and slam them together. The shadow rats were knocked unconscious and finally crushed their heads with force.
The combat power of the Shadow Rats alone is not very high. They rely more on the art of escaping from the ground to make sudden attacks, and then use the sea of rats tactics to siege.
At this time, Jiang Fan and the others did not give them such a chance.
In just half a minute, more than ten shadow rats were killed and thrown to the ground.
Then Shi Chengtian used Earth Shaking again to force the Shadow Rats out of the ground nearby. The three of them each showed their magical powers, so it was not difficult to deal with them.
But not long after, the Shadow Rat suddenly retreated in one direction, and no breath could be felt around it.
Shi Chengtian was also sure that there were no traces of shadow rats in the surrounding ground.
The sudden change left the three of them a little confused.
Jiang Fan said: "Isn't this retreating a bit too fast? This is not the same as the Shadow Rat's style!"
Han Qianxue on the side stared at the direction in which the Shadow Rat retreated, thoughtfully.
"The Shadow Rat should have scattered in all directions when it escaped! But it actually retreated in one direction just now, which is a bit strange!"
Shi Chengtian stared in the opposite direction, not daring to be distracted for a moment.
He said in a deep voice: "It's not surprising, something is coming."
Jiang Fan and the other two quickly concentrated their attention, and their spiritual consciousness covered them in that direction. They immediately felt that something was moving towards this side in the mist, and it was quite big.
Shi Chengtian seemed to feel what it was and quickly reminded the two of them.
"Don't move! It's a big black snake!"
The two stood still. After a few breaths, a black snake head the size of a basin appeared and quickly crawled past the three of them.
The thickest part of the snake's body was over one meter. The three of them stood there, not wanting to attract its attention.
The black snake swallowed up all the shadow rat corpses near the three people. The big snake was obviously chasing the shadow rats and leaving in that direction.
After a while, Jiang Fan sighed: "No wonder those shadow rats retreated so quickly. It turned out that they encountered a natural enemy. This black snake indirectly helped us."
Han Qianxue seemed to have remembered something and said quickly: "We can't let it run away. The black snake must know the location of Molong Cave."
As he spoke, the whole person chased in that direction.
Jiang Fan and the two hurriedly followed. If they got separated in the woods, it would be difficult to get together again.
While chasing, Han Qianxue explained: "According to legend, before the Black Dragon King turned into a dragon, he was a big black snake in the Black Dragon Cave. The appearance of a black snake here must be related to the Black Dragon Cave."
Shi Chengtian said: "That guy's realm is higher than mine. In my current state, I am no match for him."
Han Qianxue frowned. She had also thought about this problem. But if she missed this opportunity and waited for the next time, she didn't know when she would have to wait.
She could only look at Jiang Fan. "What can you do?"
Jiang Fan did not answer directly. He had to find a way with less risk. If he angered the big black snake and fought with the three people to death, the gain would outweigh the loss.
The three of them moved quickly, and soon they could feel the big guy's aura.
This black snake has no intention of hiding its aura, as if it has no scruples. Perhaps it has no natural enemies in this foggy forest.
Jiang Fan said: "We know what to do. Let's go around to the front and kill a few shadow rats first."
Although they didn't know what Jiang Fan was going to do, they absolutely trusted his words.
The three of them made a circle and caught up with the shadow rats from the other direction. They joined forces and quickly killed two of them.
Jiang Fan took out a piece of spirit-enchanting jade, separated a stream of breath and attached it to it, then stuffed it into the mouth of a shadow rat and threw the shadow rat on the ground.
Han Qianxue's eyes lit up. She had never thought of such a simple method.
This spiritual jade will carry Jiang Fan's aura, and as long as the distance is not very far, Jiang Fan can feel his direction.
Let the black snake swallow this spiritual jade, and then follow it all the way to find the location of the Black Dragon Cave.
The three of them stood aside and waited for the black snake to pass by.
This guy really didn't have any scruples, he just swallowed the shadow rat's body and continued to chase it.
Jiang Fan's face lit up with joy, he closed his eyes and felt the breath of the Spiritual Jade.
Although the forest will have an impact on spiritual thoughts, you can still feel the breath of the spiritual jade within a hundred meters. It is safe to keep such a distance from the big black snake.
Even if the black snake suddenly hides its aura, it will not be lost.
This lasted for two days. Shi Chengtian said angrily: "Boss, this beast isn't leading us in circles, is it?"
"Don't worry, it will definitely come back to its nest when it's full."
Sure enough, that night, the black snake stopped and no longer chased the shadow mouse, but crawled in another direction, and its speed also slowed down a lot.
Jiang Fan raised the corners of his mouth: "It seems that he is full."
Jiang Fan has greater expectations for Molong Cave than Han Qianxue. If there is a dragon crystal, he is determined to get it.
When daybreak was about to break, the black snake unexpectedly hid its aura, which surprised Han Qianxue and quickly looked at Jiang Fan.
"You didn't get lost, did you?"
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "Follow me!"
Following Jiang Fan as he traveled through the mist, the surrounding situation soon changed.
The trees gradually became fewer and fewer, as if they were about to leave the woods.
The fog gradually became thinner, and the line of sight gradually became clearer. Faintly, it seemed as if they could see a mountain peak blocking their way.
A few minutes later, the mountain peak appeared in everyone's eyes. It was a rocky mountain, hidden in the mist, and the peak could not be seen, but there were caves on it, too many to count.
The black snake entered this mountain.
Han Qianxue was a little excited: "This should be the Molong Cave."
She stared at the stone mountain and continued: "The residence of King Molong was here. Legend has it that he also left the best inheritance here. I hope we can reach heaven in one step here."
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "Reaching the sky in one step? That's impossible, so what if you are the Young Supreme? If you are targeted by old monsters, why don't you just raise your hands and kill them?"
After hearing this, Han Qianxue said angrily: "Can't you just relax a little bit?"
Shi Chengtian was already walking in the direction of Molong Cave, and soon turned around and shouted to the two of them.
"There's an entrance over here!"
Then, he turned around and ran towards the mountain.
The two followed up and found that there was a low-lying area in front of the mountain. There was a cave there with a diameter of more than ten meters and a height of nearly five meters. It was very spacious and there were some traces at the entrance of the cave. Apparently there were often things moving around here. No surprise.
It's the same black snake as before.
Jiang Fan didn't know how many black snakes there were in the mountain, but as long as he dealt with them carefully, there wouldn't be much danger. After all, this secret realm was prepared for young people, and King Molong would not leave a fatal situation to future generations.
The three of them did not act rashly, Jiang Fan asked Han Qianxue.
"Does your Wanzhen Tower have any information on the Molong Cave?"
Han Qianxue nodded.
"Judging from the information from Wanzhen Tower, the Molong Cave is divided into three floors, covering an astonishingly large area. It's like a maze inside, and you can't walk through it even if it takes a few months. But where the inheritance is, no one knows
You know, if anyone knows more about this than Wanzhen Tower, I’m afraid the only one is Linglong Pavilion.”
Shi Chengtian asked: "What should we do next?"
Han Qianxue and Jiang Fan expressed their thoughts almost at the same time.
"Split up!"
Jiang Fan didn't expect that the two of them wanted to go together.
Shi Chengtian reminded: "Han Qianxue also said that this place is like a maze. Judging from the realm of the black snake, it is not safe here. If we go together, we can still look after each other. It would be too dangerous if we separate."
"Based on our level, we can handle normal situations. We just need to be careful. Let's work separately. At least our trip won't be in vain. This secret realm is a place of adventure, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
Shi Chengtian was not happy to hear this.
"Afraid? When have I, Shi Chengtian, been afraid? I'm just worried about my boss."
Jiang Fan chuckled: "Do I need you to worry? Stop talking nonsense. Let's each choose a floor and act separately."
Han Qianxue chose the bottom floor, while Shi Chengtian chose the middle floor.
Before they parted ways, Jiang Fan gave each of them one pill of each kind.
Shi Chengtian had learned about the magic of this medicine before in the valley, and carefully put it away.
