At noon on the second day, the secret realm of Xiaochongshan opened on time.
The disciples who participated in the training were randomly sent to various locations in the secret realm. The elders who accompanied them from the sect sat in front of several mysterious mirrors, always paying attention to the images inside.
At this moment, the mirror in the center projected two opposing figures.
One of them held a sword in his left hand, wearing a light yellow long skirt, the cold wind ruffled his black hair, adding a bit of bleak and resolute coldness;
Another person stood on a huge rock, with a corner of his blue and white Taoist robe lifted up and fluttering in the wind, playing with a heavenly thunder talisman in his hand.
"Friend Su."
The young Fu Xiu smiled bitterly: "You and I have no grudges, why do we have to kill each other in the secret realm? I still have to go deep into Xiaochong Mountain to find the Moon White Stone, why don't we fight another day?"
Su Qinghan looked indifferent, and his tone was also indifferent: "This is the twelfth time you have told me to fight another day, Bai Ye."
After saying that, in an instant, the sword light cut through the oncoming gust of wind, the sword whistled like a dragon, and the snow-white sword shadows surged like a tide, piercing straight to where Fu Xiu was;
The latter's smile was filled with even deeper helplessness. He silently chanted the incantation and activated the spell, which suddenly became as powerful as thunder.
The flashing swords and lightning shadows were stirring, and someone outside the mysterious mirror laughed: "Su Qinghan is worthy of being a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. She is exactly the same as her battle-crazy master."
"Bai Ye's level is not low either."
A female cultivator in a red skirt covered her lips and laughed softly: "He has understood the Five Elements spell thoroughly, but today he met Qinghan, which means he finally met his match. I don't know how long the fight will last."
"They are still fighting, and Mingkong here has already gone straight to the deepest part of Xiaochong Mountain."
An elder from Luminous Mountain mused, "He must want to get the Moonstone, but the monsters stationed there... may not be easy to deal with."
"The Moon White Stone is hard to come by once in a century. Now that Xiao Chongshan has appeared in the world, we will naturally fight for it."
Tian Xianzi leaned against an old tree and picked up a small cake. "Not only Fanyin Temple, but also Liuming Mountain, Taxue Tower, and the Beast Taming Sect... Which sect doesn't want to give it a try?"
He paused as he spoke, as if he was getting interested: "How about we make a bet to see whose disciple can win the Moon White Stone?"
"Why, Elder Tianxian is out of money again?"
The red-skirted female cultivator raised her eyes and glared at him, her eyes full of mocking sneers: "Ten thousand spirit stones, to suppress my Wanjian Sect."
He Xiaochen took a sip of tea and said, "Then I will also offer 10,000 yuan to bet on Liuming Mountain. Elder Tianxian, since I support your business so much, how about you compete with me in sword fighting later?"
Cheap labor Tian Xianzi: "Okay!"
=====
The elders outside the secret realm were talking animatedly, while Ningning inside the secret realm was lost in deep thought.
The secret realm of Xiaochongshan is only opened every few years. There are very few traces of human beings left behind. There are countless rare animals and precious spiritual plants. It is an extremely superior treasure trove of resources.
But because there were too many resources, she became troubled.
Liuming Mountain gave everyone a secret map, which roughly marked the locations of common spiritual plants and minerals. In addition, it also listed many rare treasures in Xiaochong Mountain.
Ningning had read the original novel and knew the locations of some opportunities and secret treasures, but if she relied on the script to rob the opportunity that should have belonged to someone else, she would always feel like a kind of thief, which made her feel a little guilty.
After much deliberation, I finally chose Tianxin Grass as my target, which was not mentioned in the original novel and was rumored to be able to be used as medicine to cure all diseases.
Tianxin grass is a rare treasure and its location is not marked on the map. But the most important thing at this moment is not how to find it, but——
Ningning looked up at the rugged rocks and bottomless cave around her and sighed in her heart.
She got lost in this cave.
The cave was extremely mysterious and secluded. Humid water vapor soaked the stone walls and grew moss. The numerous forked paths were like wildly growing vines, with no end in sight for each one.
The stalactites hanging upside down above my head were glowing for some reason, and the dim light of light green pressed down heavily. Although my vision was finally brighter, I have to admit that this filter, which was like special effects in a horror movie, was really scary.
There was no sound, no sign of animal activity. The sound of light footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and even the breathing was clearly audible, like a cold hand brushing across the eardrums.
Caught off guard, Ningning suddenly heard a series of footsteps coming from running wildly.
Before she could turn her head to find out what was going on, she had just turned halfway when she collided violently with the man.
"ah!"
The young monk who suddenly appeared seemed to be frightened and cried out in a crying voice. After seeing Ningning's appearance, she hurriedly grabbed her sleeve and said, "Run, there is a monster in the cave!"
Monster?
These two words fell heavily in her ears. Ning Ning relaxed her expression and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid. What does the monster look like and how strong is it?"
"That, that is a very large poisonous scorpion with a woman's face."
The girl shuddered. "I ran into it when I first came here. It's about the second level of the Golden Core Realm. It didn't kill me directly when it saw me, but instead suggested playing hide-and-seek with me. If it finds me, my life will be--"
She is a medical practitioner from a small sect with few members. She came here without going through the sect's selection.
Originally, I just wanted to collect some rare spiritual plants in the secret realm, but I didn't expect to be thrown directly to this place and run into the monster hiding in the shadows.
As soon as the girl finished speaking, a very hoarse female voice came from deep in the cave.
The sound was so strange and creepy that it reminded Ningning of the unpleasant sound of fingernails scratching on a blackboard.
A hoarse but sharp voice floated in the dark green space, like a poisonous snake oozing venom, but with a bit of a crazy smile: "Where are you, where are you? Hee, I'll find you soon!"
The doctor's face turned paler and paler, and he trembled as he spoke: "That's the voice! It's following me, getting closer and closer...it will kill us!"
While she was talking, a hoarse female voice that sounded like it was soaked in poison sounded again, a little louder than before, probably approaching them slowly:
"Where are you? Where are you? You must hide well. I am coming to find you."
This is indeed a bit too scary.
Especially that extremely terrifying sound was hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to know what it really looked like.
However... she wanted to know the location of Tianxin Grass, and the owner of the voice happened to be able to communicate with humans, not to mention that it had lived in the secret realm of Xiaochongshan for a long time and must be familiar with the area near its nest.
Ningning's eyes suddenly lit up.
If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever. Is the guy playing hide-and-seek with them a monster? It's clearly her artificial navigator!
They rushed forward one after another to help, and they kept making noises to expose their positions.
Isn't this clearly telling her, "I'm near you, come quickly"!
There is such a good thing in the world!
"You go first."
Thinking of this, Ning Ning smiled at the girl beside her and said, "I am a sword cultivator, it's okay for me to stay here."
The other party then discovered that she had a sword on her waist. The cloud pattern on her white skirt concealed cranes, which was obviously the uniform of the Xuanxu Sword Sect.
I heard that most of the people who entered Xiao Chong Shan from the big sects were direct disciples and inner disciples. This pretty girl who looked approachable...
He turned out to be an elite disciple of the Xuanxu School.
The girl had a rough idea of her strength, so she thanked her and left in a hurry. Ning Ning touched the cold scabbard of the Xinghen Sword and heard that cold and twisted voice again: "Where are you, where are you?"
The corner of her mouth curled up into a smile.
Thanks to the human-faced scorpion for being so dedicated and constantly broadcasting its location. Judging from the sound, it should be not far away.
This happened on its own, don't blame her.
=====
The human-faced scorpion is extremely poisonous and as hard as a rock. Due to its cunning and evil nature, it will not capture its prey directly when it encounters it, but enjoys the fun of escape and chase, first giving them a little hope, and finally crushing the hope into despair with its own hands.
This one in the cave is no exception.
It hadn't seen humans for a long time and was particularly fond of this food that only came once in many years.
Today he happened to be in a good mood, so he pretended to let the female cultivator escape. In fact, he had already marked her body. As long as he followed the smell, he could eat her without any effort.
However, when the human-faced scorpion was halfway through his journey and passed the corner of a cave, he unexpectedly saw another figure without any preparation.
There was also a young girl who was practicing cultivation. She looked younger and more delicious than the previous one. She was standing in the middle of the cave, staring at it motionlessly.
He looked so leisurely, as if he was waiting for it specially.
That's impossible.
She looked so weak that she should have fled in panic like the last one, but why did she stand there in a daze after seeing it...
Maybe he was scared silly?
The human-faced scorpion let out a hideous smile from the corner of its mouth. The strange woman's face was frighteningly pale. As she smiled, her skin wrinkled like swaying seaweed, and she whispered hoarsely like a devil: "I found you."
It never expected that the female cultivator opposite did not show any fear.
Instead, he nodded and agreed with it: "Yeah. I finally waited for you. It was really hard to follow the voice to find you."
Human-faced scorpion:?
Wait, wait, what did she say, follow the sound?
This thought has just come to my mind.
It felt a chilling sword intent that penetrated into its bones.
A white light suddenly appeared, and sword energy was surging. Ningning's movements were so fast that they were almost invisible. The Xinghen Sword was as fast as a dragon, breaking through layers of quiet air and making a buzzing sound.
The pearls on the sword body were dotted into a line, leaving a string of cold afterimages, condensing into a sword wind like a wind-blown sail and a horse in formation, piercing straight at the human-faced scorpion.
She did not use any killing moves, and her attack was not very strong. However, the layers of sword winds hit the human-faced scorpion, causing it to fly some distance, letting out a shrill wail.
This is a swordsman in the Jindan stage!
Among all cultivators, sword cultivators are the most aggressive.
One sword can break all forces. Even if they have the same cultivation base, the human-faced scorpion has very little chance of winning, not to mention that judging from the sword energy just now, Ning Ning is several small realms higher than it.
——It kept chasing the medical practitioner, never expecting that there was someone behind it.
All those threatening and harsh words actually became clues for her to locate the beast. She just had to wait and see for it to fall into her trap.
The human-faced scorpion was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
But it had no way to deal with the opponent. Even though it wanted to cut it into pieces, it could only suppress its anger, grit its teeth, and immediately turn around and run away.
It knew the cave very well, and with its agility and quick movements, it soon left Ningning behind.
The swordsman didn't seem to be in a hurry to catch up, and soon even the spiritual energy was too far away to be sensed. The human-faced scorpion breathed a sigh of relief, but his pounding heart had not yet calmed down before it started beating again.
In the empty and narrow cave, a female voice suddenly sounded.
The voice contained a smile and sounded in its ears slowly and steadily, like a loud thunder that shook its heart and liver.
When the human-faced scorpion heard her voice, it was like a ghost hovering on the stone wall, almost sending it away directly:
"Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?"
Human-faced Scorpio: I am ○.
Damn you, why.
Are you sick? Isn't this its line! Is it interesting? ah? Is this fun, you stinky swordsman?
The ghostly female voice was getting closer and closer, like a needle piercing the eardrum. The echo in the cave made it seem even more strange and terrifying.
The human-faced scorpion is going crazy.
It is so weak, pitiful and helpless. What sin did it commit to deserve to be crushed to ashes by fate?
If he ran around randomly, the other party would notice his tracks. So the human-faced scorpion decided to hide behind a rock, listening quietly to the increasingly excited "Where are you, where are you, where are you" and swallowed a tear in his heart.
That sword cultivator has no heart.
She now speaks without even pausing, and changes her voice in all sorts of different ways, like she's singing.
But as soon as I was distracted, the continuous sound suddenly stopped.
In the silent and dark space, everything seemed particularly eerie and terrifying, making it shiver.
A cold wind suddenly blew through the cave, which should have been as calm as dead water.
Without warning, a faint heat enveloped its ears.
Then there was a whisper close to my ear, like a devil's whisper, the call of Cthulhu: "I found you."
It had the same tone as it did then, like twins.
Is there anything more terrifying than this?
The human-faced scorpion turned his head expressionlessly and saw a smiling face.
With this smile, it almost went straight away.
"I apologize for disturbing you so much."
Ning Ning, who was very close to it, had curved eyebrows and smiling almond eyes. She spoke slowly and softly, her tone gentle and cheerful: "I won't kill you, I just want to know the location of Tianxin Grass."
Pooh.
This stinky swordsman is cunning and cruel. Even if he dies or jumps off a cliff, he will never reveal any information to her!
The human-faced scorpion was about to refuse, but then he heard her continue: "Can you tell me? Please, beautiful sister."
Human-faced Scorpion: ...
But, damn it!
Because you have such a sweet mouth...!
