Chapter 289 Blending in
Several people followed the direction of Xie Mingzhu's finger and memorized Xie Liuyin's face firmly in their minds.
Listening to Xie Mingzhu's soft plea, they all nodded and pretended to agree seriously.
But in their hearts, they were already thinking about how to make use of this opportunity to make Xie Liuyin die quietly in the demon's nest.
Xie Mingzhu seemed to have no idea how much trouble her actions would bring to Xie Liuyin. She still had a smile on her face, but that smile was full of complacency.
Xie Liuyin in the distance had his back to the demon cultivators, and none of the twenty people in the team seemed to have noticed that they were being followed.
The entrance to the demon's nest is not far away. Xie Liuyin and others need to make some preparations here before they can sneak in.
They all know the art of shapeshifting, which allows them to transform a person into any appearance, even into the form of a monster.
But the problem is that even after turning into monsters, Xie Liuyin and the others still retain the aura of human cultivators. Once this aura is detected by the monsters, they will probably be besieged by the monsters before they even enter the nest.
The solution that Song Xing and the others came up with was to use concealment talismans to hide their breath, and then wrap themselves in a layer of monster's blood.
Monsters would also fight each other, so it was not surprising to see their bodies stained with the blood of their own kind.
Therefore, before officially entering the monster's lair, they still need to capture a few monsters and smear their blood on their bodies.
However, this method can probably only deceive a group of low-level monsters, and it may not be effective against the humanoid monsters that Xie Liuyin has seen.
Xie Liuyin had already told everyone else about the news about the humanoid monster.
Everyone knew that humanoid monsters were unusual, so if they saw such monsters in the future, they would definitely stay away from them. If they really couldn't avoid them, they would prepare early, at least they wouldn't be caught off guard.
After everyone discussed what to do in case they were forced to disperse, they set out to capture the monster.
Because they were close to the monster's lair, monsters nearby were very easy to find, and soon they found more than a dozen low-level monsters.
Although the blood of this kind of monster also has gray gas, it will corrode the body of the monk if exposed to it too much. But fortunately, the level of the monster is low, and the corrosion to the monk is very weak.
As long as they don't come into contact with their blood for too long, the impact on Xie Liuyin and others can be ignored.
Knowing this, everyone moved very quickly and soon they had all smeared the monster's blood.
After doing all this, they instantly transformed into monsters that were several levels higher than the captured monsters. Then, under the leadership of Xie Liuyin, they headed towards the monster's lair.
Naturally, their actions did not escape the eyes of Xie Mingzhu and others. They were still thinking about how to sneak into the nest.
Seeing this scene, they all became happy and imitated the righteous monks, turning into monsters and following them.
After so many days, the traces of Xie Liuyin's spiritual consciousness have actually become very shallow. If she delays for a few more days, she probably won't be able to find the entrance herself.
Fortunately, there were other monsters that were about to return to their nests, so they followed the example of those monsters and burrowed into the sand.
Song Xing and his companions also took the opportunity to send a message to Xie Liuyin: "Our people actually found this place before, and saw the monsters drilling into the sand. But at that time we didn't think that the nest was under the sand, we just thought that the monsters were drilling here to hunt."
There were actually not many monsters drilling down at that time, and the location of the nest was too deep. The patrolling monks' spiritual sense only scanned a few dozen meters downwards, and found nothing, so they let it go. This led to their failure to find the monster's nest.
Thinking about it now, Song Xing and the others felt helpless. The Buddhist practitioners who were accompanying him were still thinking, could this be an opportunity that only Daoist Xie could have, and no one else could get it?
The group didn't know how long they had been digging. Just when they were getting suspicious, suddenly, the dozen or so monsters in front of them disappeared.
Their hearts tightened, and they hurried to chase after him. They felt as if there was a thin film in front of them. After they passed through it, the yellow sand around them disappeared instantly, and they fell to the ground one after another.
All this happened in a flash, and when they came to their senses, the scene before their eyes had changed.
There are quite a few big monsters among the monsters, so the entrance to the lair is very large. Even if more than a dozen small monsters crawl in at the same time, it will not seem crowded.
Xie Liuyin and the others now all look like beetle monsters. They are not the lowest level among the monsters, but can only be considered medium, and there are many of them.
Therefore, the appearance of the twenty of them did not attract the attention of any monsters, which also made it convenient for them to blend in.
Xie Liuyin observed for a while and found a group of beetle monsters like himself. Then he called out to everyone in his mind: "Let's go quickly. Standing here will arouse suspicion."
The monks had just come to the entrance of the nest suddenly, so they couldn't help but take a few more glances. After hearing what Xie Liuyin said, they immediately retracted their gazes and followed Xie Liuyin to climb inside step by step.
"The corridors in the nest are complicated, but at the beginning there is a main road leading to the spider monster. That guy will eat other small monsters, and only when it is full can other monsters leave." Xie Liuyin repeated what he had seen and heard to them.
The monsters that were released into the corridor on the right were higher-level monsters. Although they were curious about where those monsters went and what they did, to be on the safe side, everyone decided to follow what Xie Liuyin saw.
After you have a clear understanding of the situation inside the nest, find an opportunity to explore the corridor on the right.
Although the corridor on the left leads to the incubation room where there is a humanoid monster, there are still countless forks in the road before entering the incubation room.
Xie Liuyin and others planned to find an opportunity to get into another corridor on the way to the incubation room, and then slowly begin exploring.
After hearing Xie Liuyin's words, the others responded in their minds: "Understood, we will be careful to hide behind other monsters when the time comes."
This was the method Xie Liuyin told them. The spider monster was probably of a high status. Even if it wanted to eat the other small monsters, those monsters would not resist and would let it do it.
Therefore, if they don't want to be exposed, the only way is to hide at the back and wait until the spider monster is full, then they can leave.
As for the incubation room, Xie Liuyin thought about it later and guessed that when the female monster suddenly released the gray gas, it probably killed the group of monsters.
Finally, the dead monsters are used as nutrients to feed the newly born monsters, urging them to grow faster.
As for why she was so cruel to the returning monsters, Xie Liuyin felt that it was probably because the female monster thought that these little monsters failed to break through the garrison city and their strength was not at the level she wanted.
Instead of wasting energy by keeping these monsters, it is better to kill them and cultivate a stronger next generation.
Perhaps, this is the reason why monsters become stronger each time.
