Midnight came quietly, and the full moon in the sky became even more dazzling, even like the sun in the daytime, shedding thousands of rays of light.
The glow suddenly fell down, hanging above the surging gray mist like a sea of clouds. The latter gave off a pale color, and under this pale color, there were many rich black smoke clouds flowing continuously.
Suddenly, the glow became extremely dazzling, the gray fog instantly dissipated, and the black death energy, after being illuminated by the white moonlight, began to shrink rapidly and "escape" toward the valley below.
Commander Zhuge ordered the concealment circle to be withdrawn, and only then did the spaceship reveal its original body.
This phenomenon is repeated throughout the outer areas of the West Magic Mountain Cave. However, because the West Magic Mountain area is very large, these "exploration teams" are scattered far away, and no other forces appear within their respective sights.
.
"The midnight hour has arrived, everyone is ready to disembark!"
A long row of monks stood at the edge of the spaceship. They looked solemnly at the changes in the valley below.
At this time, the black air had completely disappeared from the surface. Without the obstruction of gray fog and black air, the scenery of the West Magic Mountain finally appeared in the moonlight.
Thousands of ravines, dark woods, spiritual energy dissipated, lifeless!
This place is like a hell that has been completely abandoned by heaven and earth. This scene alone is already terrifying.
"etc!"
"What is that?!"
Some people couldn't help but exclaimed, and everyone's hearts tightened, and they immediately looked in the direction he pointed.
I saw a red light scurrying around under the moonlight, and it made a "whooshing" sound. It didn't sound like a sound made by a human being, nor did it sound like a sound made by a monster.
But after seeing this red light flying several times along the valley at high speed, it swished into a piece of black wood.
No! That's not wood! That's a charred "corpse"!
When everyone took a closer look, weren't they the same casual cultivators who had been "killed" before?
After the red light entered the corpse, the corpse that was supposed to be dead suddenly began to shake rapidly, and then in the horrified eyes of everyone, the corpse's eyes emitted a dazzling red light, and then it suddenly jumped from the
He stood up from the ground.
Then the entire corpse exploded completely and turned into a black mist. The black mist quickly shrank and condensed, and finally turned into a dark "abyss ghost beast"!
Qin Shaoyou felt like his hair stood on end. It turned out that the "abyss ghost beast" encountered on Haigui Island actually came from here?!
"These corpses will turn into ghost beasts under the moonlight. Don't get entangled, they can't be killed!"
"The death energy has receded, let's start taking action!"
Following Commander Zhuge's order, the commanders rushed down from the spaceship like dumplings. The abyssal ghost beasts on the ground noticed the movement above and immediately fell into a rage.
They disappeared from the spot instantly, and when they reappeared, they appeared strangely behind the monks.
"ah!"
The monks were frightened and immediately launched a fierce attack on the ghost. However, they did not expect that the ghost that seemed to be breakable by bullets would become more solid after being attacked.
Then, a dazzling red light burst out from the eyes of the black figure, and then the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and strange black ice crystals condensed on the bodies of the monks. As soon as the ice crystals came out, the targeted adherents
The messenger felt that his spiritual power and blood essence were being absorbed desperately by the red light.
Seeing this scene, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart. This thing didn't seem to be exactly the same as the ghost beast he met on Haigui Island.
At this moment, Commander Zhuge, who was standing beside him, grabbed his wrist.
"Walk!"
Then the spaceship disappeared, and three streams of light shot down. Due to the attraction of other people, the abyss ghost beasts found them immediately, so when Zhuge and the others dived, they did not encounter a ghost beast.
Come and cause trouble for them.
The stream of light disappeared into the cracks in the ground.
Those commanders who were not targeted by the abyss ghost beasts, after a brief hesitation, gave up their plan to aid their own people and rushed down together with the three leaders.
Qin Shaoyou was speechless to the extreme. It seemed that Chief Zhuge didn't give him any chance!
After entering the crack in the ground, there were no such ghosts here. Chief Zhuge slowed down and waited for the people behind to catch up.
It's a pity that there were originally more than twenty executors, but now there are only thirteen people left. The number has been reduced by half before the task has even begun.
"I told you not to pester me, what a bunch of damn idiots!"
Commander Zhuge snorted coldly and angrily said:
"That red light is a kind of borer unique to the cave. All your attacks on it will be swallowed by it!"
"I don't want to see anyone act without authorization again. If someone is in crisis because of this, I will be responsible for it. Do you understand me?!"
"My subordinates heard clearly..."
Everyone had to lower their heads and "admit their mistake."
"Walk!"
A group of people took action again. They explored all the way down the huge crack in the ground, but the crack in the ground seemed to be really bottomless. Qin Shaoyou felt that he had been sinking for three sticks of incense before he vaguely saw that there seemed to be waves below.
Flashing.
After half a stick of incense, everyone finally reached the "bottom".
There is indeed an underground river underneath this crack in the ground, and a normal person's first reaction when seeing this scene would be to take out a lighting charm to light up the place and take a look at the surrounding situation.
Therefore, even though Chief Zhuge had no intention of lighting up this place, one person in this group of commanders composed of casual cultivators still secretly affixed a night vision talisman to try to check the surroundings.
And the moment he activated the talisman, a faint glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, and even this small light was still bright under the dark and depressing ground.
Like two bright pearls!
"idiot!"
"Let's go!"
Zhuge, who was stopping to identify the direction, caught a glimpse of this scene with his peripheral vision. Without saying a word, he pulled Qin Shaoyou and rushed out in a certain direction. Meng Bai and Feng He naturally followed closely.
As soon as the others heard Zhuge's order, they followed him without hesitation. Only the casual cultivator who secretly used the night vision talisman remained in place.
"What a fuss, isn't it..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw a black shadow rushing out from the soil next to the crack in the ground, taking the man away instantly, disappearing into the soil on the opposite side of the crack in the ground.
...
After burning incense, the group of people slowed down again.
"If there is light, there should be an exit ahead."
Zhuge pointed to the front and said.
Everyone looked up and saw that at the end of the "tunnel" they were in, there was indeed a bright light like an exit, but this was even more incomprehensible to them.
This is obviously underground, where does the light come from?
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Mengbai explained kindly:
"The cave world itself is a secret realm. It is a world of its own. Ye Feng, the man who cut the sky, shattered the fairy gate and also broke many small secret realms floating in the void. These small secret realms opened channels to our world.
, and the entrance to this passage is in the West Magic Mountain!"
"However, although these secret realms are not as big as our world, there are many existences that we cannot understand, so everyone must be careful..."
Everyone nodded, as if that was the case.
Then, Mengbai took out a stack of talismans from his arms.
"After entering the secret realm of the catacombs, we will be teleported to different locations immediately, but the distance will not be very far. This is the tracking charm. Everyone should take one and come to my place to gather later."
"Of course, if someone wants to act alone, that's okay, as long as you speak well enough and don't meet people from the four sects."
The faces of the monks changed slightly, and after nodding, each took one.
But when Qin Shaoyou also wanted to go up and get the tracking charm, Zhuge grabbed his wrist again.
"You don't have to, let's go together."
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but feel speechless, and even felt a chill.
His expression was extremely ugly, and he wondered if this old man Zhuge had any special hobbies, right?
In fact, not only he thinks so, but others also think so.
Afterwards, everyone went on the road again and soon arrived at the exit.
It looks like a piece of water floating in front. Through the twisted barrier, everyone can vaguely see the shadowy scenery outside.
"You go in first!"
Zhuge gave the order, and those who carried out the order bravely walked in. They knew that this was to prevent them from escaping.
After everyone went in, Zhuge, Mengbai, and Feng He were also ready to go in.
The three of them each took out a red talisman, put it together and lit it to activate, and the fire emitted suddenly wrapped the three of them together.
Then Zhuge immediately pulled Qin Shaoyou into the middle of the three of them.
The latter frowned. He knew this thing. It was called a joint tracking talisman. It could connect people who were participating in the teleportation at the same time so that they would not be separated immediately.
At this moment, a creepy "rustling" sound came from the darkness in the distance, accompanied by a strong fishy smell.
It seems that this small fire also attracted the creature hiding in the darkness.
"Let's go!"
Meng Bai exclaimed, and the three of them rushed towards the exit with Qin Shaoyou in their arms.
But the moment their bodies passed through the exit, a sly smile appeared on Zhuge's lips. He deliberately snuffed out the tracking talisman in his hand, and then held Qin Shaoyou in his arms.
In a flash of white light, everyone disappeared.
The black shadow rushed to the exit, revealing a fleshy "head" with no mouth, eyes or nose, like an "earthworm".
It seemed that it didn't like being illuminated by the light from the exit. It just showed its head and then retracted.
