Chapter 122 Preparing to Leave
On the way to find a suitable new camp, everyone was forced to watch several scenes of monsters fighting each other.
Several times, while they were walking, they were inexplicably involved in fights.
Xu You and Xu Wuyin were nearly injured by the two violent monsters. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Xie Liuyin used sword energy to force them back.
In this way, they traveled all the way without any danger, and finally Xie Liuyin set his eyes on the nest of a black bear monster.
The black bear monster also had its eyes on their lives, and the moment it smelled the strange scent, it pounced on them with an attitude of killing everyone.
Of course Xie Liuyin was not polite, and led Qiu Yu and Jiang Shan to kill the black bear with swords.
She wielded the sword very skillfully. There was only one fatal wound on the black bear, but not much blood flowed out, so it was very easy to clean.
After dealing with the black bear, the spacious cave originally occupied by the monster was soon occupied by Xie Liuyin and his group.
They moved quickly and cleaned up the cave in no time. They also set up several concealment formations outside.
The biggest reason why Xie Liuyin chose this place was that there was a small sulfur spring in the cave that could help cover up their breath.
Everyone knew that if nothing unexpected happened, they would probably have to stay in the cave for a whole month.
So they were very careful when building the camp, fearing any mistakes.
Fortunately, the people who were injured before have almost recovered thanks to the rich spiritual energy in the secret realm.
Some internal injuries still need to be nourished by elixirs, but as long as you don't fight, there will be basically no impact.
Everyone worked together. The wood spirit root cultivator urged the vines to block the entrance of the cave, and in the process weaved a lot of rattan tables and chairs.
The earth spirit root monk divided the spacious cave into many compartments with earth walls, which could be used for everyone to live in and also gave everyone independent space.
The water spirit root dug a small pond in the cave. If anyone wants to get water, they can go there.
Everyone chose a compartment they liked to live in, and they decorated the temporary hut carefully, so that it finally looked a bit like a "home".
Xie Liuyin didn't care much about it. She called Hua Lingxue, Qiu Yu and others together, cast a soundproof spell, and then said:
"Everyone knows the current situation of the secret realm. What do you think about the treasure that is about to appear in the world?"
"What can we think of?" Jiang Shan scratched his head, not really understanding what Xie Liuyin meant. "Let those monsters and monks take it away. Anyway, our cave is very safe."
Qiu Yu nudged him with her elbow: "Didn't you understand? Junior Master Uncle meant that she wanted to fight for the treasure."
Hua Lingxue and Xie Liuyin have known each other the longest, so naturally they know their junior uncle very well.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "If Junior Master really wants it, we will naturally support you with all our strength. But does Junior Master know where this treasure is now and how to obtain it?"
"You don't have to worry about this. I have already made preparations. I will go there alone when the time comes, and you just need to guard the cave." Xie Liuyin waved his hand, indicating that they don't need to worry about him.
Xie Liuyin had no intention of handing over the treasure to the sect, so she was going to take the risk by herself and would not bring anyone with her.
However, Hua Lingxue and the others were not very happy after hearing these words: "What does this mean, Junior Master? Can we only share wealth but not adversity?"
Jiang Shan also said: "Master Junior brought us so many good things before. If we abandon Master Junior now, what kind of people would we be?"
Xie Liuyin quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. It's just that this treasure is something I want myself, and I don't intend to let the sect know about it. It's better for me to go by myself."
"Besides, we don't know if other powerful monsters will find this place in the future. If you all leave with me, there will be no one to protect them. It is better for us to leave a few more main forces here."
Hearing the subtext of Xie Liuyin's words that he wanted them to help conceal the treasure, several people agreed without thinking.
Although they didn't know what the so-called secret treasure was, they all knew what kind of person their junior uncle was.
Rather than letting the mysterious treasure fall into the hands of other people with bad intentions, it is better to let the junior master get it, which will make them feel more at ease.
The persuaded people said no more and helped others continue to decorate the cave.
They also sprinkled a lot of animal repellent powder at the entrance of the cave to ensure that no monsters would be willing to approach this place.
Even the work that Xie Liuyin was supposed to do was taken over by Princess Luo and Hua Lingxue to ensure that these trivial matters would not disturb Xie Liuyin.
"Sister Liuyin, just practice well. Don't worry, everything will be fine with us here." Princess Luo waved at her and followed Hua Lingxue to do other things.
Xie Liuyin could see that they were taking the initiative to help him save enough time to practice in order to prepare for the difficult treasure hunt that was coming.
Xie Liuyin naturally did not want to refuse the kindness of Hua Lingxue and others, so she obediently returned to the small house she had chosen and threw out an isolation array plate.
After making sure that no one would disturb him, Xie Liuyin took the Mo Que Sword and hid in the space artifact to practice.
During that half month, Xie Liuyin seemed to have returned to the days on the Sunrise Peak. She practiced sword skills every day, starting with the most basic sword techniques and then practicing the "Ruthless Sword Art".
There is no distinction between day and night in this space, but Mo Que knows the changes in time in the outside world.
She asked Mo Que to keep a close eye on Xie Mingzhu and remind her in time if she made any unusual movements.
Afterwards, she immersed herself completely in sword practice, taking a short break for quarter of an hour every two hours. Otherwise, Xie Liuyin never let go of the sword.
She used up the spiritual energy in her body time and time again, and only practiced sword moves until the spiritual energy filled her dantian again.
This process was repeated countless times, until Xie Liuyin reached the threshold of the ninth level of Qi Refining and was just a step away from a breakthrough, Xie Mingzhu finally took action.
"She is looking for a chance to escape." When Xie Liuyin finally finished practicing sword and was about to sit down to rest, the sword spirit suddenly said this incoherent sentence.
But Xie Liuyin immediately realized what he meant: "Xie Mingzhu wants to leave the cave?"
The sword spirit confirmed: "Yes, she has been looking for a way to leave the cave these days. It's just that because others are worried that there will be monsters attacking at night, the patrols are very timely."
"Yesterday, Xie Mingzhu found the patrol team and wanted to join. Xu You, who was in charge of this matter, agreed. She will go out on patrol with the other two tonight. If I'm not mistaken, she will probably find a chance to escape tonight."
The sword spirit was indeed a very cooperative partner. Xie Liuyin asked him to keep an eye on Xie Mingzhu, so he kept a close eye on her the entire day without missing a single moment.
Therefore, the sword spirit also overheard Xie Mingzhu's plan to escape tonight.
After getting the news from the sword spirit, Xie Liuyin tilted his head back and drank a sip of water.
"Okay, then let's follow her tonight!"
