After killing Yu Xiaozhu, changes occurred in the second main task, and the completion rate reached four out of ten.
After a while.
Jiang Fan and Nu Qingji were soaking in hot springs and grilling snake meat in Qingzhuxuan.
Nu Qingji joked: "Master Tian, isn't this a bit too much?"
"Too much? Don't eat the snake meat after it's roasted."
Jiang Fan had two purposes in mind, and the snake meat was skewered on the long, condensed golden stick, which squeaked and emitted oil under the flames.
The flesh of the snake demon that has lasted for thousands of years contains spiritual energy, which makes ordinary people suffer from indigestion, but for those who practice Taoism, it is a great tonic.
Let's be realistic. Practitioners are always shouting about slaying demons and protecting the Tao. In fact, not all of them are so noble. Many monks go for the inner elixir of monsters.
Interest is the biggest driving force for people to move forward.
Although Jiang Fan would not kill monsters on sight, the dead snake monster is food, and it is shameful to waste food.
Jiang Fan and Nuqing Chicken were taking a bath in the hot spring pool and eating meat.
Gu Xuanwu had already found Wu Xin, and he was trying hard to get Wu Xin to go to Zhutou Mountain.
When Jiang Fan and Nu Qingji returned to the courtyard, it was getting late.
Not seeing Wu Xin, Jiang Fan asked Yue Ya who was finishing washing, "Where did Wu Xin go?"
Yue Ya put down what he was doing and said, "In the afternoon, Mr. Gu came to Wu Xin and asked him to move something. It seemed to be to Zhutou Mountain, yes, it was Zhutou Mountain."
"broken!"
When Jiang Fan heard it was Zhutou Mountain, he thought of the cave where Gu Xuanwu hid his gold.
This cave is not ordinary, it is actually the mouth of the Taotie. Although the Taotie is in a deep sleep, if a stranger or animal comes to the door, it will still instinctively devour it.
Although Wu Xin has an immortal body, if he is swallowed by a glutton, his life will be over.
"Wang Ye, you stay at home and watch while I go to save people."
With a word of warning to Nu Qingji, Jiang Fan immediately turned into golden wings, flew up, and rushed to Zhutou Mountain like lightning.
...
As night fell, the mountains were pitch black and the trees were shadowy. Gu Xuanwu and Wu Xin got out of the green pickup truck and asked the driver and a soldier to stay and watch the truck while the other twelve soldiers followed them up the mountain.
A group of fourteen people walked in the dark in the mountains, heading towards the cave where the gold was buried.
Wolves howl in the mountains, and crows crow from time to time.
Gu Xuanwu and Wu Xin carried torches and oil lamps and moved forward cautiously. The soldiers behind them had their guns loaded and looked around cautiously, fearing that they would be attacked by wild beasts.
After walking for a while, I asked unintentionally: "Mr. Gu, are you taking the wrong path? Why haven't you arrived yet?"
"Don't worry, I'm familiar with this road. I can find the place with my eyes closed."
As soon as he said this, Gu Xuanwu tripped over a tree vine and fell to the ground.
"it's okay no problem."
Gu Xuanwu immediately climbed up and explained: "There were no vines here before, but they probably grew out recently. This Zhutou Mountain is very steep and remote. The more remote it is, the better it is to hide things."
In the barren mountains and ridges, the ground was cold and the night was cold. Gu Xuanwu yawned, took out his family's butcher knife and cut through the thorns, and then complained: "This place is a bit weird. There are not even poisonous mushrooms growing on the ground. There are only some trees, most of which are dead."
Trees are not profitable, even grave diggers will not come to this generation."
After walking for more than half an hour, Gu Xuanwu pointed ahead: "It's right in front. Just walk a little further and you'll be there."
While talking, Gu Xuanwu, Wuxin and twelve soldiers arrived at the pig's mouth-like location on Zhutou Mountain.
However, due to the huge size of Zhutou Mountain, if you look around, you can only see many dead grass and ancient trees.
"There is indeed something evil about this place!"
Wu Xin quickly felt uneasy, but couldn't put his finger on what was wrong.
When he walked to a dirt bag and saw the mark he left, Gu Xuanwu smiled and said, "Young master, this is it."
Seeing this, Wu Xin said: "Master Gu is really heartless. He just found a bag of dirt to bury him."
Gu Xuanwu smiled and said: "That's impossible."
As he spoke, he pointed to the ground in front of the earthbag and said to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, get moving and start digging from here."
A few soldiers who had something to do with this guy followed Gu Xuanwu's instructions and quickly dug out a large stone slab.
The soldiers worked together to move the stone slab away, revealing a hole in the ground.
Wuxin saw Gu Xuanwu impatiently trying to jump down, so he held him back and said, "This cave has been sealed for so long, so let's ventilate it first before going down."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Gu Xuanwu clapped his hands and said to the four soldiers: "You guys are standing guard above. If there is any problem, shoot to warn."
"Yes, Commander."
Four soldiers stood guard with guns.
Gu Xuanwu threw the torch into the hole, checked the fire intensity, confirmed that there was no problem, and then took the lead and jumped down into the hole.
The bottom is not high, only two meters above the ground.
Below is a natural cave, which gets wider and wider as you go, and the surrounding stone walls are covered with rattan.
Gu Xuanwu didn't pay attention and waved to Wu Xin and others: "Hurry up and go back after moving the gold."
Wuxin and eight soldiers jumped down one after another.
Just in case, Wu Xin also used his Dharma Eye to look at his surroundings, but found no problems.
Ten people were walking in the winding cave with torches and lanterns. Gu Xuanwu looked excited: "It's right in front, just turn a few corners and you'll be there."
Without Yue Qiluo's interference, the group arrived at Gu Xuanwu's treasure hiding place smoothly.
"Look, little master, this is the gold I have hidden."
Looking at the three big boxes in front of him, Gu Xuanwu looked proud.
When he walked forward, he found that the box was already entangled with rattan. The arrogant Gu Xuanwu didn't take it seriously and asked his men to cut off the rattan wrapped around the box with a machete.
With this cut, something will happen!
These vines are somewhat similar to the materialization of Taotie's body hair. Once a living creature approaches, they will activate and drag people into the Taotie's belly to become the Taotie's nourishment.
As soon as a few soldiers approached and cut off a few vines, many of the vines clinging to the cave seemed to be possessed by gods, swaying flexibly and attacking living people.
"what?"
"Help!"
Four soldiers who were cutting canes were entangled in the canes that looked like spiritual snakes. They were hung up in the air and screamed for help. Some of the canes penetrated the human body and absorbed flesh, blood, and essence.
"There's a ghost."
The other four soldiers were frightened and fired randomly, with little effect.
"Come on, the things in this cave are difficult to deal with."
Wuxin realized that something was wrong, pushed Gu Xuanwu behind him, and recited a spell.
"Xuanzong of heaven and earth, the root of all things.
I will cultivate for hundreds of millions of kalpas and prove my magical power."
Suddenly, a burst of golden light surged, like a big human-shaped light bulb, illuminating the cave with a golden light.
Immediately, the golden light transformed into two substantial swords, which were slashed at the flying vines.
"Gold, my gold."
Gu Xuanwu looked at his gold so close that he felt a little reluctant to give it up.
When Wu Xin was attacked by a wave of attacks, he turned around, pulled Gu Xuanwu and ran away: "Don't ask for the gold, it's more important to save your life."
At this time, the four soldiers accompanying them were swept away by the vines one after another. The screams could not be heard, and the cave was in chaos. Wuxin, who was very powerful, had no choice. He tried to save people, but faced the endless vines.
, he could only try his best to resist.
If it weren't for the "Golden Light Curse", he and Gu Xuanwu would probably have been dragged away.
He knew that there must be some kind of mysterious and mysterious thing hidden in the cave. Even though he had no intention of being knowledgeable and possessing special skills, he could not do anything about it.
His blood, which is as good as aqua regia for monsters and monsters, is also of no use here. He can only run away, otherwise he will be caught, and even if he does not die, he will probably never have the chance to see the light of day again.
