A group of monks walked quickly through the gloomy forest of ancient trees, heading to the ancient bat cave.
The jungle trees are getting denser and denser, blocking out the sky and making it almost impossible to see the sun.
At this time, there were no birds or animals in the dense forest, and it was silent. Occasionally, the roars of monsters could be heard from very far away.
"Stop! Something's wrong!"
Cai Linliang, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and raised his eyebrows, as if he noticed something.
"how?"
The monks couldn't help but wonder and stopped.
"The chirping of birds, beasts and insects has disappeared. It's probably because there are monsters lurking!"
Cai Linliang frowned.
With his keen intuition developed from decades of walking in the mountains of Yunze, the more quiet and peaceful the place, the more likely he is to encounter danger. Monks with rich experience will be more vigilant in such an environment.
"It's best to have spies ahead to prevent a swarm of monsters from ambush!"
The middle-aged monk with a stern face said.
"Who's going?"
A sturdy black-faced man said coldly.
"Needless to say, of course the ones with the lowest cultivation level go to explore the way! The one or two thousand spiritual stones that Brother Cai gave to each of the brothers are not that easy to get. When fighting monsters, those of us with higher cultivation levels are
They are the main force. Easy tasks such as exploring paths must belong to them."
The stern-faced middle-aged monk put his hands behind his back and glanced at the lower-level monks in the team.
"Ruan Yufeng, Wei Ming, and Zhang Zhen, the three of you have the lowest cultivation level. Which one of you will go to the front to explore the way? Don't worry about safety. The rest of us are following a few miles behind and can provide support at any time!"
Cai Linliang thought for a moment and looked at the three early-stage foundation-building monks in the team, hoping that someone would take the initiative to explore the way. He did not force it. Although he was the team leader, there was nothing he could do if the team members did not listen to him. He gave
Each monk's hard work of one or two thousand spiritual stones is not enough for him to boss around in front of other monks.
"My cultivation level is low, and there are high-level monsters lurking. I'm afraid it's not easy for me to detect them!" "Who's going to explore the way ahead?"
The expressions of Wei Ming, Ruan Yufeng, and Zhang Zhen changed slightly. They looked at each other, looking a little uneasy, and they were unwilling to take this job.
Exploring paths is the most dangerous job. Sometimes it is even several times more dangerous than fighting monsters directly. After all, when fighting monsters, they also know what monsters they are facing and how to deal with them. But pathfinding
Sometimes it is always dark, no one knows what kind of monster they will suddenly encounter, or even how they die.
The most important thing is that their cultivation level is really very low, and they can't handle the more powerful monsters. They come to Yunze Mountains to hunt monsters with such low cultivation level, just to earn some spiritual stones.
People who think of buying spiritual pills don't really go all out. If they really see the huge danger, they will definitely run away. They still have a great future in cultivating immortals, so how can they take risks for a mere thousand spiritual stones.
After a while, no one in the team took the initiative to become a spy.
"I'll go explore the way."
Ye Chen looked calm and said suddenly.
"That's fine, Junior Brother Ye, be careful!"
Cai Linliang was surprised and nodded.
The work of spying is usually done by low-level monks.
The main monks are in the middle of the team. Make sure they are well rested and energetic, and can support the spies on all sides at any time. The most important thing is that this can try to avoid the main monks being ambushed by the monsters. In the mountains where monsters are rampant, if the main monks are
A large number of members were seriously injured or died, which was a nightmare for the team.
But since Ye Chen offered to explore the way ahead, Cai Linliang couldn't say much.
...
Ye Chen cast a wind control technique on himself and turned into a faint wind shadow, flying silently towards the mountain stream ahead, walking a few miles in front of the team of thirteen monks.
He has his own ideas.
This place is only a few hundred miles away from Wangtian City. The distance is very close. There are often monks passing by. The possibility of encountering high-level monsters or large groups of monsters is extremely low. Even if you encounter them, most of them should be lone monsters.
With his level of cultivation at the fifth level of foundation building and the many means in the Immortal Mansion, far beyond the comparison of Wei Ming, Ruan Yufeng and others, there is no need to worry about his own safety.
This was his first time to enter the Yunze Mountain Demon Hunting Trial. He didn’t have much experience, so he came as a team with other monks. Otherwise, he even wanted to go into the mountain alone for the trial. After the ancient bat cave experience was completed,
.He then considered practicing alone in the mountains for a period of time.
As Ye Chen moved forward quickly, he covered the miles ahead with his consciousness and carefully searched the road ahead.
In the mountain forest, large areas of dead wood and rotten leaves exude a rotten steaming miasma. There are countless insects, snakes, ants and beasts lurking in the mud holes at the roots of the trees. Among the dense branches and leaves of the ancient tree crowns, small forest beasts such as foxes and mice seem to be everywhere.
What are you afraid of and don't dare to move?
But the strange thing is that Ye Chen found no trace of the monster and nothing unusual.
"It's weird, insects and beasts are dormant here, it's probably some ferocious monsters that are causing trouble!"
Ye Chen thought about it and flew past a forest green ancient giant tree, less than twenty or thirty feet away.
"Bah!"
Suddenly, the space near the ancient tree seemed to be distorted, and an extremely strange green shadow shot out of the air, carrying smelly mucus and evil wind. It shot towards him at lightning speed, and a dangerous and sinister aura suddenly arrived.
.
"ambush!"
Ye Chen was slightly startled, and his muscles tensed up. He had not noticed anything before, and now it was too late to avoid it completely. He clapped his hands and shot an ice wall in the direction of the green shadow. At the same time, he exerted force on the ground with his toes, a huge explosive force.
Suddenly, his body turned into a swift shadow and shot forward with all his strength.
"boom!"
The green shadow that shot out of thin air hit the ice wall cast by Ye Chen's spell diagonally. It did not penetrate the ice wall. Instead, it slipped on the ice wall and hit an ancient tree dozens of feet behind.
The entire hard tree body was shattered explosively, countless fragments sputtered, and it collapsed. The air flow caused almost all the dead branches and leaves on the ground around dozens of feet away.
blow!
After the green shadow struck, it instantly shrank back.
Ye Chen rushed out dozens of feet in an instant, and was still in shock. He turned around and looked in the direction where the green shadow of the forest green ancient tree was coming.
The figure of a four-legged green monster that was more than five feet long lay close to the ancient forest green tree.
It was covered in green scales, almost the same color as the ancient tree. Its abrupt eyelids moved, and the bulging eyeballs were on the thin vertical orbital space, the bone rod formed by the postorbital bone and the squamous bone.
A temporal hole sprays out green poisonous mist.
In its open lizard mouth, a tongue with green stinky mucus was stretching out and curling up. It was its tongue that attacked Ye Chen just now. When fully extended, it could hit a target hundreds of feet away.
"The green-scaled poisonous lizard?! Why is it so powerful that you can't detect its existence at all?!... It must have used some hidden magic like invisibility before!"
Ye Chen was shocked and immediately recognized the origin of this monster.
During the six months he spent in the stone chamber of the Demon-Slaying Tower, he fought countless phantom demons.
He has fought against the green monster monster at least hundreds of times and is very familiar with it.
To put it simply, the phantom green-scaled poisonous monster lizard in the stone room is a very mediocre mid-level monster, which is easy to deal with and has almost no difficulty.
Compared with other naturally powerful monsters, it is not outstanding in all aspects. It has neither terrifying strength nor super speed.
But this green-scaled poisonous lizard was able to completely hide in the woods without showing any trace before attacking. This shows that it at least has a powerful innate invisibility skill.
The green-scaled poisonous lizard turned quickly, as if it was weighing the strength of the "opponent" in front of it.
Obviously, the monk in front of him was difficult to deal with. It lurked here and attacked him with all its strength, but it failed to hurt him at all. And what it is best at is sudden attack. Once this trick fails, it has no more methods at its disposal.
The green-scaled poisonous lizard made a judgment and quickly jumped into the dense jungle. A green light appeared on the monster's body. The figure gradually faded and merged with the surrounding dark green ancient forest. It planned to disappear into the jungle and leave.
"You didn't succeed in the sneak attack, and you want to leave!? If this allows you to come and leave whenever you want, why do I still need to test in the Yunze Mountains!"
Ye Chen sneered, and in his pupils, two balls of fire were reflected in the sky. He caught up with him, raised his hand, and struck a large-scale thunderstorm.
...
Counting breaths.
Whoosh, whoosh!
The figures of the Twelve Path monks quickly appeared on the scene just as Ye Chen's battle with the green-scaled poisonous lizard ended.
What they saw in front of them was a scene where the battle had already ended.
More than ten acres of ancient trees in the dense forest in front were completely blasted by spells, exposing charred soil and rocks, and a large area was bald out of thin air. The body of a body that was more than five feet long was scorched to death, and it could barely be seen from the appearance that it was a monster lizard.
The corpse of a four-legged monster.
In this dozens of acres of lush forest, all the trees were reduced to charcoal under the bombardment of thunder and lightning. There were still flames burning on the ground, and the cold ice debris from the collapsed ice wall was everywhere. The suffocating atmosphere after the thunderstorm swept wildly was everywhere.
There was even a faint electric glow in the air, making the scalp feel numb and the hairs standing on end.
Cai Linliang smelled the smell of burnt meat in the air, frowned slightly, and looked at the scorched earth in front of him in surprise.
"Five breaths! From the moment we heard the sound of fierce fighting to the time we arrived at the scene, it was only five seconds, no more than one breath, and the speed was not unpleasant. I didn't expect that the battle here was already over! This monster lizard should be
Around the fourth or fifth level, his strength was no less than that of a mid-stage foundation-building monk. He was completely tortured and killed. How did he do it?!... Ye Chen, a disciple of the Tianxu Sect, had never heard of this person before.
What a reputation!”
Cai Lin's conscience was shocked.
With his sixth-level cultivation, it would take a lot of effort to kill this monster lizard.
Because this is a jungle, not the Demon-Slaying Tower Stone Chamber in Wangtian City. In the Demon-Slaying Tower Stone Chamber, the phantom monsters cannot escape, and they will be killed when they are defeated. But in this dense jungle, with towering ancient trees, the monsters burrow into the jungle, and think
It is extremely difficult to hunt them down. The jungle is their world. Real monsters are easy to defeat but difficult to kill.
When he went to the Ancient Bat Cave this time, there were only a few monks in the team who had a deep friendship with him. Most of the rest of the monks were randomly picked to make up the numbers. Unexpectedly, the Tianxu Sect monks who were randomly picked to make up the numbers were actually so powerful.
So strong. (To be continued...)
