The moment the spiritual energy bomb was released, Chen Xiao turned around and ran away quickly. If he was a little slower, he would be injured by the recoil of the earth, which would be fatal to Chen Xiao. The Feng Shui treasure land is full of vitality, while the fierce land is completely the opposite, with a gloomy and gloomy aura. A little vitality can offset the consumption, but if it is too much, Chen Xiao will only be swallowed up.
If you don't follow the correct method of Xue, the greater the force, the stronger the recoil. It was like a muffled thunder, and the ground in the cave shook instantly. It was as if a huge monster underground was awakened, roaring and rolling.
The strange rocks in the cave were shaken off, and Chen Xiao had to slow down to avoid the sharp rocks that fell down. When Xi Yunting led him to walk this distance, Chen Xiao felt it was short and fast, but when he ran by himself, he felt it was so long that he could not see the end.
Chen Xiao could sensitively feel the evil spirit in the aura multiplying in vain, like an invisible monster rioting. The evil spirit expanded too fast, and he didn't care that the torch in his hand was smashed by falling rocks. Chen Xiao repeatedly used the vitality magic talisman to increase his speed to the limit, so that he was not swept back.
With the lightning talisman clearing the way, Chen Xiao turned three steps into one and crashed headfirst into the cave where the evil cultivator was.
This place was already in chaos, with poisonous snakes rampaging in the caves, chasing and biting the evil cultivators. From time to time, they would raise their heads and spit out a large amount of poisonous mist.
Chen Xiao did not dare to stop, and climbed up the rock wall of the cave to a higher place, while looking for his companions. Before he could find anyone, Xi Yunting flashed and flew in front of him.
His sharp eyes swept over him. Chen Xiao was still gasping for breath when Xi Yunting pulled up his wrist: "You are injured!"
Chen Xiao then looked down and found that the back of his hand might have been hit by the falling rock, and a layer of skin was scratched and bleeding. He said hurriedly: "I'm fine, where are the others?"
Xi Yunting didn't say anything else. He put his arm around Chen Xiao and brought him into his arms. He then bypassed the poisonous viper that was wreaking havoc in the middle and came to the other side.
Xi Yunting placed him at the entrance of the cave and said to him, "Daoyou Tong has already escaped from this exit with the children. You should hurry up!"
Chen Xiao grabbed him with his backhand: "Let's go together! The evil spirit is too strong, this cave will be blown down soon."
Xi Yunting's tone was firm and he would not tolerate any refusal: "Someone has to cover us. You go first, I'll catch up soon. Be obedient!"
After hearing the word "obedient", Chen Xiao could no longer hold on. He had no choice but to take out another amulet and stuff it into Xi Yunting's hand before turning around to chase Tong Nuonuo.
Zhao Jiao and his gang were not stupid. The poisonous snake would not go berserk for no reason. As soon as the children were rescued, they knew they were being ambushed. The cultivators and the foundation-building stage cultivators were useless at this moment. They were simply asked to chase the escaped people. Xi Yunting was the only one guarding the pass. The Xuefeng heavy sword in his hand was full of sword energy. Few of these evil cultivators could survive a single blow from him.
There was a man in the Jindan stage who was dodging and trying to calm the poisonous viper. He had a unique technique, and the poisonous viper actually fell for it and slowly became much quieter.
Tang Ru waited for an opportunity and immediately stepped forward to cause trouble. The Jindan stage cultivator turned his head, glanced around, raised his palm and launched a powerful attack on Tang Ru's chest.
As he moved, his curly hair swayed, revealing an angular arc. Tang Ru was surprised, not because of the counterattack from the sneak attack, but because the man in front of her was not from the Central Realm, but a barbarian like her!
The purpose of causing trouble has been achieved. Tang Ru dodged quickly, but still couldn't avoid it completely, and half of his body was hit.
She groaned. People of short stature are naturally small, and the sound of her voice was different from that of ordinary people, as clear and crisp as a child's.
The barbarian in the Jindan stage originally wanted to continue attacking, but after hearing the voice, he paused. After seeing Tang Ru's appearance clearly, he somehow stopped attacking and let Tang Ru run away with his injured body.
The poisonous viper became restless again, and the Jindan-stage barbarian completely gave up the pursuit and turned back to continue to appease it.
Blood was flowing from Tang Ru's lips, and half of her body was unable to move. With only one foot barely able to run, she stumbled towards Xi Yunting. The sound of the mountain wall shaking in her ears became louder and louder, and it felt like the cave was an alchemy furnace with the herbs in the wrong order, ready to explode at any time.
"Go!" Tang Ru spat out a mouthful of blood. She had reached her limit and could no longer escape. She could only shout to Xi Yunting.
Xi Yunting killed the last evil cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, rushed over quickly, hooked Tang Ru's collar, turned around and ran towards the passage.
"..." Tang Ru, who rolled her eyes as she was being strangled by her collar, could not help but be possessed by Tong Nuonuo at this moment. The difference between people, should it be so obvious! Did she think she didn't see how Xi Yunting put his arm around Chen Xiao's waist and led him away? If she didn't ask for the same treatment, couldn't she just pull his arm? !
The evil spirit ignores the barrier of the mountain, and when it encounters an open flame, the flame is extinguished. When it encounters plants, the plants wither instantly, and when it encounters small crawling creatures, it also takes their lives instantly.
No matter how harmful the evil spirit is to the evil cultivators, spiritual energy is precious to the Taoist cultivators. When faced with the fierce spiritual energy that is about to explode, the Taoist cultivators must escape first.
Zhao Jiao and the others ignored the poisonous snake, abandoned the beast and turned to flee. However, Xi Yunting remembered Tong Nuonuo's instructions and threw a spiritual energy bomb when he entered the passage. With a bang, the passage collapsed and blocked it.
Zhao Jiao and his companions cursed loudly, saying that the Taoists were even more vicious than the evil cultivators. Was there any justice in the world? But they did not dare to delay and hurried to find other ways out. The cave was connected in all directions, and as long as they moved quickly, they could get out in time.
Tang Ru's injury seriously slowed her down, and Xi Yunting was even a step slower to save her. The evil spirits around her were increasing, and the energy protection amulet she was carrying suddenly ignited, emitting a ray of light that formed a thin halo. This halo could dispel the evil spirits, but it couldn't last too long, like a fragile eggshell, and it broke.
Seeing this, Tang Ru's men kept taking out the energy protection amulets that Chen Xiao had given her. The cave was extremely long and the energy protection amulets in her hands were all used up in a short while.
Tang Ru thought with a bitter mouth, am I going to die here today?
Just as she was thinking about Xi Yunting suddenly giving her a bunch of protective amulets, Tang Ru was surprised and asked, "Fellow Daoist Xi, what do you use them for?"
Xi Yunting said with a cold expression: "I have my own way to protect myself, just take care of yourself."
Just as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to collapse in large sections, with such a huge momentum that it seemed as if the entire cave was about to collapse.
Xi Yunting looked up and looked around, then took out a pill and gave it to Tang Ru: "I'll block it for a while, you leave quickly!"
As Xi Yunting spoke, he gave a light shout, and Xue Feng's heavy sword transformed into millions of sword shadows, like pillars, supporting the passage that was about to collapse, and making room for escape.
Tang Ru usually only knew that Xi Yunting was cold, and indifferent to everyone except Chen Xiao. But today she realized that she was totally wrong!
If the two of them were buried alive at the same time, Xi Yunting could still escape on his own, but she would be dead. If Xi Yunting had ignored her and escaped alone, Tang Ru would not have blamed him at all. But she did not expect Xi Yunting to do such a thing at the critical moment, which made her feel moved and ashamed. Her previous prejudice against the people of the Central Realm seemed very ironic at this moment.
Tang Ru blinked away the moisture in her eyes and swallowed the pill in one gulp. Half of her body was able to move again temporarily. She slapped the protective amulet on herself and said to Xi Yunting, "Thank you!"
Watching Tang Ru running away, Xi Yunting stood there, surrounded by the surging evil spirit. Xi Yunting closed his eyes, and in a moment, the aura around him reversed again, from vigorous and brilliant to gloomy and mysterious. The heavy sword in his hand chopped down from thin air, as if cutting into tofu easily, and the evil spirit was split apart without resistance, revealing a passage.
Xi Yunting frowned. It was the first time he knew that his innate power of bad luck could be used in this way. This made him feel confused and uneasy. Controlling evil spirits, isn't it only evil cultivators who can do it?
There were explosions of dirt and rubble around him, and the passage had collapsed. Xi Yunting was not afraid, since the evil spirit had no effect on him, getting out was just a matter of digging a passage.
Worried that Xiaodi would be worried about him, Xi Yunting suppressed his confusion and waited until the shaking stopped before starting to clear a way out.
Chen Xiao joined Tong Nonuo and put spells on the children. These children were abused and their bodies were skinny and light. Chen Xiao and Tong Nonuo took a few who were in a bad condition, and the rest could only encourage them to run.
Some of these children have been controlled by the evil cultivators for a long time. The evil cultivators always need people to do chores, such as serving tea and water, lighting fires and washing clothes. After being enslaved for too long, they have lost their self-esteem and are as numb as puppets. Even if they are told that they have been rescued, they have no reaction. Fortunately, these children are very obedient. They follow the instructions and actions, and no one falls behind.
They were the first to flee, and they managed to get out before the cave collapsed. Once they saw the light, the children showed completely different reactions. The ones who had just been brought back by the evil cultivators cheered, while the ones who had been enslaved for a long time burst into tears. They had lived in the dark for too long, and the strong light irritated their eyes.
Chen Xiao and Tong Nuonuo quickly found something to cover their heads and faces, and led the group of seventy or eighty children to a place far away from the exit of the cave.
The collapse of the cave caused a large part of the mountain to sink. Even in the dead of winter, the sky was filled with smoke and dust, which made people cough constantly. Chen Xiao had no choice but to take the children farther and farther away, until they were far enough away to not be affected.
Chen Xiao was really worried about the other two, so he asked Tong Nuonuo to take care of the children and went back to meet the two. Tong Nuonuo agreed and took out the stove to boil water and cook. These children usually don't have enough to eat and drink cold water. If they want to walk the next section of the journey, they must eat a full meal first.
Chen Xiao gave him most of his rations before returning to the cave entrance. After waiting for a while, he only saw Tang Ru but not Xi Yunting. Chen Xiao's face turned pale and his mind went blank.
