Chapter 421 They took the wrong path
Everyone nodded. It was true that they still had a long way to go, but their current condition was not good and they were simply unable to deal with the danger that was to come.
"Junior Sister, we give up. We just want to find a safe way to leave."
"Yes, several of us have been poisoned. If we don't get out and detoxify as soon as possible, it will damage our foundation and the loss will outweigh the gain."
"We are different from you. Even if we won first place in this competition, our overall score is not the highest. We have done our best for the family by obtaining a small spiritual vein. We don't want to continue exploring."
"Yes, Junior Sister, the way you came in must be safe. Can you tell us which way it is? We have decided to leave."
Zhong Ling'er glanced at the two teams behind her, then smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll lead the way for you."
Everyone was overjoyed and immediately helped the wounded lying on the ground to follow Zhong Ling'er.
Zhong Ling'er took out an extra-large spirit beast bag and said, "It's too slow for an injured person to walk like this, and it also consumes energy. It's better to put him in the spirit beast bag, so that everyone can save trouble."
Everyone looked at each other, and someone said stiffly, "Junior Sister, there's no need. We can go on our own."
"Hey, why are you being so polite? Going out next is like climbing a mountain. Are you sure you can climb it? Listen to me, go in and rest well, get some sleep, and when you open your eyes again you will all be out."
Are you sure we can open our eyes again after entering this spirit beast bag?
Moreover, you use this thing to store the corpses of monsters. We are human beings. Where is our dignity once we get into this spirit beast bag?
However, Zhong Ling'er did not give them a chance to refuse. She took in the people whose walking was affected, and then waved her hand, "Let's go!"
The others also knew that it would be a burden to travel with these people. Once they encountered danger on the road, these people would probably not survive. Although Zhong Ling'er's actions seemed absurd, they actually saved their lives.
The group walked towards a cave and soon disappeared.
Yu Chengxuan watched coldly without moving. The elder of Tianji Pavilion wanted to say something, but was stopped by him.
After waiting for a long time and no longer hearing the footsteps, Yu Chengxuan snorted coldly and said to the elder of Tianji Pavilion: "I know you want to say that they are taking the same path we came from. That iron-eating beast was pissed off by us, and they will surely die if they go there."
"But that was the route led by Zhong Ling'er. What does it have to do with us? Maybe they are very capable and have a way to escape."
The elder of Tianji Pavilion was a little worried. "We have suffered a lot of casualties now. It's best to leave immediately. I wonder why Zhong Ling'er wants to take that road?"
Yu Chengxuan smiled confidently, "I think Zhong Ling'er took the wrong road. The road they took should be very close to the road we took, and very similar."
The elder of Tianji Pavilion winked at a disciple behind him, and the disciple immediately walked around the forty or so exits, sniffed carefully, and then marked out five holes.
Yu Chengxuan looked at the five cave entrances and pointed to the one that was closest to the one that Zhong Ling'er and the others had left from and was very similar to the one they had left from. He said, "This is the path that Zhong Ling'er should have taken when she came here."
Yu Chengxuan walked in confidently, and the others followed immediately.
"As expected of the young master, you are truly a master of predictions. This road looks easier to navigate than the one we came here from."
“Yes, fortunately the eldest young master is here, otherwise we might have to suffer with Zhong Ling’er.”
"To be honest, I really want to see what happens when Zhong Ling'er and the others are chased and beaten by iron-eating beasts. It must be very funny."
The discussions of several disciples brought a hint of smile to Yu Chengxuan's face, but the elder of Tianji Pavilion became more alert, as he always had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
After passing several intersections, Yu Chengxuan's hair stood on end when he suddenly smelled a familiar aura in front of him. He carefully entered a corridor, and a huge black and white figure appeared in front of him.
The figure turned around and looked at them. The iron-eating beast's eyes became sharp, and it got up and rushed towards them.
“Run, run!”
Yu Chengxuan, who was leading the group, immediately pulled the elder of Tianji Pavilion in front of him and stood in front of him, then turned around and fled. The disciples who saw the danger also turned around with his footsteps. Those who didn't know what was going on were still craning their necks to watch.
Soon, everyone realized that they were the ones who had taken the wrong road, so they immediately cried out in surprise and crawled back, completely losing their previous smugness.
In the other direction, Zhong Ling'er led three teams on their return journey. Except for the fact that it was a little hard to climb up, there was no danger at all and they had soon completed half of the journey.
"Actually, I would like to explore the rest of the way. Maybe I can collect two more spiritual veins."
After hearing what Zhong Ling'er said, Yu Shunyi was shaken. In fact, he had the same idea. After all, if they won the first place in this round, their clan would definitely win. His father would be the head of the Yu family for the next hundred years. Their clan would no longer have to look at other people's faces and would be able to get more resources for cultivation.
"I know there is a way. Last time my uncle found a spiritual vein there. He said there is a smaller one that has not moved. A hundred years have passed, so that small spiritual vein should be quite large. We still have one day. I wonder if you can accompany me to take a look."
Zhong Ling'er's eyes lit up immediately. She was worried that she couldn't find a reason to stay, and these words were exactly what she wanted.
"Of course, I haven't had enough fun yet."
As long as Zhong Ling'er speaks, the others in Taiqiong Sect always have no objection.
Yu Shunyi was overjoyed and immediately led the way.
Zhong Ling'er found that he seemed to be looking for some mark, so she didn't say much. Sure enough, not long after they walked, Yu Shunyi proposed to separate from the other two teams, and he took Zhong Ling'er and others into another fork in the road.
In her sea of consciousness, Zhong Ling'er kept listening to Little Qilin describing the situation of the other team, and asked Little Qilin to change the original route according to her wishes.
Two teams came out. Zhong Ling'er's team went to look for another spiritual vein, while the remaining two teams were about to be wiped out.
Seeing the iron-eating beasts controlling two huge stone balls to smash Tianji Pavilion Elder Li Zhen repeatedly, causing him to spit out blood and his feet to sink into the rocks on the ground, the two clan leaders could no longer sit still.
"No, someone has to go in and rescue them. I'm giving up this game. I can't see anything happen to my children."
His eyes were fixed on the Patriarch of the Yu Family, and the two seemed to be communicating something with their eyes.
The head of the Yu family seemed to have made a difficult decision. "I can't watch my children get into trouble. How about this? Our two teams will use the current number of spirit veins as the standard. From now on, we will only fight for our lives and no longer take spirit veins. You probably don't want to see your children and nephews get into trouble, right?"
