Everyone followed in because they smelled the scent of Smoke Spirit Ice Flowers in the cave, but they had no idea that they had entered a formation since they entered the cave.
This formation seemed to have been left here a long time ago and has never been taken away. Moreover, the formation is quite sophisticated, making use of the unique terrain of the cave and the high concentration of spiritual energy here, so it has been preserved and is still effective after so many years.
The formation has its own isolation restriction, so they can neither send out sound transmission notes nor receive them.
It wasn't until a day and a night later that the formation suddenly failed for some unknown reason. Ning Chuanzhu was the first to receive the message, but just after he responded, the formation reappeared.
They speculated that this might be because there was a blind spot in the formation just now, which was why it happened.
But even if they knew, they couldn't go back, because there were countless poisonous scorpions chasing them!
"It's a pity that Lin Qi is not here. He is proficient in formations." someone said.
Ning Chuanzhu's heart moved.
Daddy also has some research on formations, and he seems to have something urgent to tell me, and he has already entered the Cold Wind Valley.
If he can find it, can he break the formation?
However, it is unrealistic to rely on others now. We still have to strive to save ourselves.
"My formation-breaking disk is responding, it's right in front!"
Another female cultivator, Du Rui, spoke excitedly, holding a dark blue disc in her hand.
This array-breaking disk is also a magical tool that can automatically identify the escape route in the array, but it doesn't work every time, so you have to rely on your luck.
It had only reacted once before, and after that it didn't move for a long time, but now it moved again.
This is good news.
"Let's go faster. We can't waste any more time here. Our medicine pills are almost used up, and we can't hold on any longer." Zhu Heng said while panting.
"Yes, the most important thing is that we don't have the elixir to cure the scorpion poison. Once we are poisoned by the scorpion poison, we will be in danger." Another male cultivator also said.
When everyone heard this, they became even more panicked and quickly quickened their pace.
The Breaking Formation Disk did not malfunction again. Its pointer continued to tremble, pointing them in the right direction. A light on the disk was becoming increasingly brighter.
This means that the door to life is getting closer.
"Ah, there's a scorpion up there!"
Zhu Heng shouted, looking up and pointing at the top of the cave.
Two poisonous scorpions had crawled up the wall at some point and were hiding in the shadows, and they didn't even notice!
Ning Chuanzhu's eyes turned cold, and the sword in his hand was as fast as lightning. With a strong swing, he actually chopped the two poisonous scorpions in half.
Zhu Heng reacted quickly and raised a square shield at the same time Ning Chuanzhu swung his sword, so the venom in the scorpion's body could not fall on everyone.
Zhu Heng is Ning Chuanzhu's fellow apprentice. After years of getting along, the two have developed a perfect teamwork.
Their dilemma was not that they could not defeat the poisonous scorpions, but that there were too many of them and they were very poisonous. However, the cave was full of ravines and shadows, making it difficult to see the road, let alone accurately detect the presence of the poisonous scorpions.
There were originally spirit stones for lighting, but they could not be used because there was another more ferocious monster in the cave. It did not like light and would be alarmed by light.
So everyone could only focus on one area and walk carefully along the way.
Seeing that the poisonous scorpion was killed, Bai Lianxin breathed a sigh of relief.
But suddenly, she noticed a slight movement on the wall next to her. Her heart skipped a beat, and out of the corner of her eye she vaguely saw that thing actually shook its tail towards her.
This is a sign that they will attack humans. The poisonous needles on their tails are sharp and long. Once you are stung, you will definitely die without an antidote!
And I am closest to it, that is to say——
"Chuanzhu, be careful!"
She cried out in surprise and immediately threw herself into Ning Chuanzhu's arms, hugging him tightly.
Ning Chuanzhu didn't react to what happened, and subconsciously turned sideways to look at her, and saw a black shadow flying towards him, followed by a sharp pain in his neck.
…
"This is it."
Ning Cheng looked at the wall in front of him.
He and Ren Muqing had just found the cave his son had mentioned, but before they entered, Ning Cheng had already noticed that there was a large formation here.
It is not possible to enter through the cave entrance, as you will step directly into the formation without knowing it, which is why my son and the others are trapped in it.
This should be the cave where a cultivator once practiced. In order to prevent strangers and monsters from accidentally entering, a formation was set up here.
But now it seems that this formation is incomplete, with several gaps, which is why it is occupied by those poisonous scorpions.
After walking around for a while, Ning Cheng finally found a way out.
He glanced at Ren Muqing, the two of them exchanged glances, and then simultaneously stretched out their palms and struck down heavily!
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, a big hole was broken in the wall, and rocks flew down.
This hole is only wide enough for one person to pass through, and one has to bend over to get out, but this will not cause the cave to collapse.
Just in time to save people.
Ren Muqing's expression brightened with joy, and he shouted out—
"Chuanzhu, are you there?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a response.
"Who is it?"
The person who was speaking was a person, but there were more than one person's footsteps coming from inside.
Then a group of people came to the front of the cave, panting.
"Are you Chuanzhu's companion?" Ning Cheng asked, "We are his parents."
"Yes, but... Chuanzhu was poisoned."
Ning Cheng and Ren Muqing's faces darkened slightly.
After all, he was a step too late and his son was poisoned.
Although there is an antidote, being poisoned is not a good thing. It is better to avoid it if possible.
"Come out quickly."
After bringing the group of people out, Ning Cheng picked up stones and sealed the cave entrance.
Fortunately, the poisonous scorpion and the more ferocious monster inside did not follow out.
"What happened just now? Why was Chuanzhu the only one poisoned?" Ren Muqing asked with a frown.
The eldest son always acted with discretion. If there was only one person in the group who was not poisoned, she felt it must be her son.
But now it's just the opposite. Everyone else is fine, only he is in trouble.
This is unreasonable.
"Wow, uncle and aunt, it's all my fault."
Bai Lianxin walked forward crying, her face full of tears as she sobbed, "I went to warn the poisonous scorpion as soon as I saw it, but I didn't expect I couldn't stop it."
The incident happened suddenly and it was dark in the cave, so everyone's attention was not on Bai Lianxin.
So they only heard Bai Lianxin's scream, and by the time they reacted, Ning Chuanzhu had already been poisoned.
This is Bai Lianxin...
Ren Muqing and Ning Cheng exchanged glances, and then looked at Bai Lianxin.
A very petite and fair girl with almond-shaped eyes and cherry lips. When she looks at people, she shows a bit of timidity and her eyes flicker, which makes people involuntarily want to protect her.
