Chapter 1260 Devil's Oasis 3
"It should have been dug by those who broke in here. The purpose should be to avoid the oasis's absorption of vitality at night."
Mo Shangchen thought for a moment and said.
After hearing this, the shirtless man glanced at Mo Shangchen.
"Keep going."
Lian Yi issued the order again.
The shirtless man's feet moved uncontrollably and he walked towards one of the cave entrances.
Lianyi was still the first one, but this time Mo Shangchen cleverly inserted himself in front of Lian Xiye, separating the two of them. He did this just because he felt safe, but it made Lian Xiye a little unhappy, but he didn't show it.
As everyone continued to move forward, they could feel that they were going downhill, which meant that they were going deeper. Along the way, they also found piles of bones, some human and some animal, which made everyone frown.
A breeze blew by, rippling her hair. She frowned because she smelled a very unpleasant smell, similar to the smell of rotting flesh, mixed with a strange fragrance. The two smells mixed together and rushed straight to her head, almost making her faint.
So Lianyi subconsciously blocked her sense of smell, but in doing so, she actually found that she could mobilize her spiritual power, so she turned her wrist slightly, pulled the shirtless man behind her and stood still.
"Friend Yi, what's wrong?"
Mo Shangchen asked vigilantly.
"Try to mobilize your spiritual power and see if it works."
Ripple spoke up, she wondered if this was a coincidence or if it was the same for everyone.
"Hmm? Good!"
Mo Shangchen's eyes lit up and he immediately began to try to mobilize the spiritual power in his body.
Naturally, the others also heard Lianyi's words and made the same attempt.
"Hey, I can mobilize my spiritual power!"
"So can I!"
"While we can mobilize our spiritual power now, everyone take out your weapons, just in case!"
Lian Xiye reminded at the right time.
No one can guarantee that they can call upon spiritual power at all times in this mysterious oasis, so it is necessary to make preparations in advance.
How could everyone not respond? They quickly summoned out their own life-saving magic weapons, put on the necessary defenses, and used the necessary magic weapons.
In just a few moments, everyone was ready. The shirtless man was extremely surprised and said in disbelief:
"How is it possible? You can mobilize spiritual power here, why can't I?"
The man tried it with some disbelief, but the spiritual power in his meridians still did not move at all, as if it was sleeping.
Lian Yi did not explain the confusion to the other party, but continued to ask his teammates:
"Do you smell a strange smell?"
"It smells rotten."
Du Yan, holding her natal spirit sword, was the first to speak.
"This smell comes and goes, it should be the wind that blew over just now."
Lian Xiye added carefully.
Lianyi nodded after listening to it but said nothing. Apparently she was the only one who smelled that strange fragrance. Could it be said that her nose was abnormally sensitive because she was a fox demon?
However, she did not intend to tell anyone about this discovery, so as not to appear different and arouse suspicion from others.
"Friend Yi, how did you discover that you can use spiritual power?"
Sure enough, Ye Qing asked the question the next moment.
"It was the first time in my life that I smelled such an unpleasant smell, so I subconsciously blocked my sense of smell. In this way, I naturally found that I could use my spiritual power."
"Why not that man?"
Ye Qing continued to ask.
"What do you think is the difference between us and him?"
Lianyi did not answer but asked, "As a good cultivator, can't you use your brain to think for yourself?"
"He arrived before us, stayed here longer than us, and to save his life he ate humans and smeared black plant juice on his body."
Du Yan listed them one by one and glanced at Ye Qing as she spoke. She always felt that Ye Qing was targeting Elaine.
"Fellow Daoist Du is indeed very observant. I thought I was the only one who noticed it."
Lianyi praised Du Yan with a smile, a sarcastic smile on her lips.
It really proves the saying that birds of a feather flock together. The male cultivators surrounding Lian Xiye are all of the same character, arrogant and conceited, and most importantly, they believe in what they have learned. They really think that they are great just because they have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. When they return to the sect, they can at most be second-rate elders. It is not the time to break up yet, otherwise they would have crushed him to death long ago.
Ye Qing seemed to have noticed Lian Yi's displeasure, especially the other party's sarcastic look. Although he was a little annoyed, he knew that now was not the time to start an internal conflict, so he could only say dryly:
"You female cultivators are more careful."
Mo Shangchen tried to smooth things over at the right time:
"Friend Yi, do you suspect that the real restriction on spiritual energy is the juice he applied on his body?"
"Well, there must be something in the oasis that gave him this illusion, making him think that he couldn't use his spiritual power and that his vitality was rapidly draining away. He then voluntarily applied this thing, which played into the other party's hands."
Lianyi expressed his speculation.
"Since we have discovered the other party, let's go and see what is bewitching these people."
Lian Xiye said righteously.
"keep going!"
Lian Yi calmly instructed the shirtless man.
The man looked a little strange. He had heard the conversation between the few people just now. He also realized the problem now, but it was too late.
The shirtless man eventually led the six of them into a stalactite cave, where they saw a woman sitting on a throne, looking at them with a pair of unfocused eyes.
"Dear guests, you are here. I am glad that you can find this place."
The other person's voice was very nice and pleasant. She was wearing a black robe with intricate patterns and her accessories were all silver. At her feet were some people crawling around, who had also painted themselves black.
"Senior, we have no intention of offending you. We just happened to get here by mistake. Could you please let us go?"
Mo Shangchen bowed politely.
"Of course. The reason why I have persisted until now using such a shameless method is to wait for my destined person, and you are my destined person."
A bitter smile appeared on the woman's fair face. She generously admitted that it was wrong for her to do so, but there were reasons for it.
"What do you mean?"
Lian Xiye asked immediately.
He had a feeling that he was the destined one.
“I am the pet of the Venerable Yunxi. I have been guarding his cave for a long time. Because I gave up my own elixir to heal my master, I can no longer advance. But my master eventually died. As time goes by, I will also disappear.
But since no one has come to inherit my master's legacy, I have no choice but to use this method to survive. On the one hand, I do this to select an heir for my master, and on the other hand, I do this to prolong my own life.
Fortunately, I lived up to your expectations and finally waited for you to pass the test."
After the woman finished speaking, she pressed a mechanism on her chair, and the chair moved backwards, revealing a staircase leading downwards.
"Below is all of the master's collection, but only one of you can go down."
