Silently clearing the inappropriate images from his mind, Wei Ci replied "No problem", but secretly planned in his heart that if he was really in danger, he would definitely take it on himself and there was no reason to hide behind the woman.
The two of them rushed south, crossing the deer forest in a straight line, passing the place where they passed the previous trial, and quickly approached the area Xing Yue mentioned, without encountering almost any obstacles along the way.
As we get closer to our destination, the surrounding environment changes dramatically.
The ground surface began to become moist, with many potholes appearing, and the vegetation underfoot was gradually replaced by sparse dead grass.
Wei Ci saw from a distance that rocks began to grow not far ahead, and tall irregular boulders formed a stone forest.
The girl who was leading the way suddenly stopped.
"We're here!" Xing Yue said.
Wei Ci looked at it carefully and noticed that the stone forest was like a coral reef, with many gaps and gaps between the boulders.
On the ground outside the stone forest, there were densely scattered long strips of gray translucent floc.
Just by looking at it, Wei Ci already realized what those flocs were.
Snake sloughs, snake sloughs all over the ground!
Wei Ci felt his scalp numb slightly.
No wonder it is called the Snake Den by Xing Yue. How many red vipers must gather here to shed so many skins?
He slowly mobilized the golden mist in the spiritual sea, and a ray of spiritual power headed towards the stone forest to explore.
A coiled red viper as thick as a thigh appeared in his perception.
What made Wei Ci breathe a sigh of relief was that the ones with the strongest auras among these red vipers were only at the mid-level spiritual level.
Others are just low-level spiritual beings, or even ordinary beasts.
His mental power continued to move forward, and just when his mental power was about to reach the furthest detection distance, he noticed something strange.
It was a small area deep in the stone forest, where the spiritual power seemed to be bounced off by something.
He tried it back and forth several times, but still got the same result.
After a while, Wei Ci regained his mental power.
Only then did he realize that Xing Yue was staring at him doubtfully with her big Kazilan eyes.
"You, have you awakened your spiritual power!?" Xing Yue did not hide her surprise.
Just now, she was about to ask Wei Ci to prepare for action, but suddenly she sensed a spiritual aura appearing around the stone forest.
Wei Ci was the only one beside her, so the source of this spiritual power was self-evident.
The reason why she was so surprised was because in her perception, Wei Ci was clearly weaker than her.
She had just recently awakened her spiritual power and entered the stage of mental insight. Wei Ci, who was weaker than her, logically could not possess spiritual power.
Wei Ci was also surprised. What surprised him was that his mental power could still be detected by others.
Now that it has been discovered, there is no need to hide it.
After a moment of silence, Wei Ci briefly explained the situation in which he unexpectedly awakened his spiritual power during the stage of opening acupuncture points and unblocking meridians.
Of course, he did not mention the existence of the Golden Book, which was his biggest secret.
When she heard that Wei Ci accidentally opened an air hole in his head, Xing Yue had already half believed it.
She pointed to the inside of the stone forest and said, "Since you can use mental power, you should feel it."
Wei Ci nodded. Whether there is any harvest in this snake cave treasure hunt depends on the area that can deflect spiritual power.
The two of them stopped talking and walked towards the stone forest.
Xing Yue had a delicate long sword in her hand, while Wei Ci took out the Qingling Bow, stringed it with the arrows taken from the Li family, and aimed falsely at the front.
"His, hiss, hiss..."
Red vipers are very sensitive to scent and have a strong sense of territory.
As soon as Wei Ci and Xing Yue entered the stone forest, thick red vipers emerged from all around and surrounded them, spitting out snake messages. There were no less than 20 of them.
Looking at the group of snakes that gathered in an instant, Xing Yue took the lead and raised the long sword in his hand to greet them.
She still didn't pay attention to some low-level spiritual vipers.
A faint light shone on the long sword, and two standing red vipers flew towards them, and were cut off by seven inches with Xing Yue's sword.
Without hesitation, Wei Ci loosened his right hand that tightened the bow string, and an arrow passed over Xing Yue with a whoosh, and pierced into the eye of a red viper in front of her with a pop.
From a distance of about 50 meters, with his control over the Qingling Bow, it was not difficult to kill low-level and non-level beasts with one arrow.
Xing Yue nodded invisibly and continued to move forward.
Wei Ci followed closely behind, separated by a few meters.
Along the way, red viper carcasses were piled up in staggered places.
Learning from his experience, Wei Ci casually pulled out the arrows from the red vipers he shot to death and recycled them.
At this moment, a sound of "rustling, rustling" made the two of them stop in unison.
Wei Ci and Xing Yue detected at the same time that several intermediate spiritual level red vipers appeared.
Both of them looked a little solemn, because they had not noticed these red vipers during their previous mental exploration!
This means that there may be hidden beasts that have not yet appeared.
At this time, one of the red vipers, which was as thick as an adult's thigh, suddenly opened its majestic mouth, spat out a snake message, and swayed its body as it quickly approached Xingyue.
Seeing this, Xing Yue moved forward instead of retreating. She tapped her toes on the ground and mobilized her whole body's energy to rush forward.
In the blink of an eye, the Red Viper had entered the attack range of the long sword.
At the moment when Wei Ci's heart slightly raised and he was worried about her safety, Xing Yue took hold of the long sword, poured her own energy into the sword body, and made a heavy upward stroke from bottom to top.
The thin sword blade cut through the air, making a faint sword whistle.
Immediately afterwards, the sword blade cut through the red viper's scales, cutting seven inches into it, and the harsh sound of metal and stone rubbing against each other reached his ears.
"Whoosh!"
The red viper, stabbed by the long sword, let out a shrill roar, and a thin stream of blood mist spurted out from the snake's neck. The snake's body flew backwards, and it seemed that it was no longer alive.
The first intermediate spirit-level red viper was killed in one round!
Xing Yue's movements did not stop and continued to move towards the second goal.
Wei Ci looked at this scene and sighed.
As expected of a gold-spending player, Xing Yue’s combat prowess is indeed off the charts!
However, if you regard him as a foil, you would be underestimating him.
Wei Ci stretched the green spirit bow in his hand to its limit and aimed at the other red viper in front of him.
The next second, the arrow came off the string and flew straight out.
Xing Yue only heard a "swish" sound and saw that the eyes of a red viper in front of him were accurately penetrated by an arrow. The bloody arrow was still stained with traces of flesh and blood from the snake's eyes.
Several intermediate spirit-level red vipers only blocked the two of them for less than two minutes before they were all killed.
Wei Ci and Xing Yue kept moving forward in unison, exploring the depths of the stone forest.
There are countless red vipers of all sizes in the stone forest, and the two of them had no intention of sharing them from the beginning.
When dealing with snakes and strange beasts, they have a consensus, that is, as long as they are not entangled or bitten, red vipers cannot pose a threat to them.
