Su Youzhi is working on forming an alliance, and Tu Nian is also considering it.
After all, it's a melee, especially since Jixue might be everyone's target now. If you can have a reliable ally, it will be much easier to find the token or survive.
When it comes to sectarian relations, Tu Nian initially thought of Bi Hai, but Song Chengming analyzed to her that Zhang Yang didn't seem like the kind of person who would get along well with others. After careful consideration, she felt that this seemed to be the case, so she set her sights on Tian Yin Sect.
Firstly, because of their previous friendship, Liu Yuzhu would most likely give them face. Secondly, Liu Yuzhu, a Yuanying Dan cultivator, was the one with the least ability to protect himself among all the Yuanying cultivators. In addition, the strength of Tianyin Sect itself was not strong. In this case, forming an alliance with a team with strong output capabilities was undoubtedly the best choice.
In short, the alliance between the two families has more advantages than disadvantages, but there is one issue that must be considered, and that is the sister in Yanyu Pavilion who looks exactly like Liu Yuzhu.
With a sister, and even a sword cultivator sister at the Nascent Soul stage, would Liu Yuzhu choose another sect? Tu Nian definitely wouldn't.
After all, there is no plan to form an alliance, so the most urgent thing is to meet up with Chu Qiurong and the other two. Otherwise, by this time, there will usually be other teams that they are facing, and if they meet them, they will most likely end up being beaten up.
It was also during the reunion process that Tu Nian discovered that she and Song Chengming, two talisman practitioners, were divided into two teams. The convenience of this was really not something that could be explained in a few words.
In this way, the two teams can not only communicate with each other using the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Note, but also use a search talisman, so meeting up is just a matter of following the map, without having to worry about going to the wrong place or missing each other.
Occasionally, monsters like tigers, leopards, wolves and jackals would appear along the way. Chi Wenzhao would deal with them, so Tu Nian basically didn't have to move. At most, he would join in the fun and throw a few talismans to enhance the atmosphere.
Although the two did not find the token along the way, they did not encounter any trouble. If it were not for the information of eliminated players that sounded in the air from time to time, Tu Nian would have almost forgotten that he was still in a free-for-all event.
However, this state of mind didn't last long. Following the guidance of the search symbol, the two arrived at a cave. Surrounding the cave were towering cliffs. It seemed that there was nowhere else to go except this cave.
Are the three of them here?
Tu Nian glanced at the faintly glowing search symbol in his hand, then looked at the pitch-black cave, and finally turned to look at Chi Wenzhao, "What do you mean, try shouting a few words?"
Chi Wenzhao shook his head, "Use the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Note."
They shouted, and before they found the person, they attracted people from other sects.
"I think so too."
Tu Nian responded, touched his body, searched his arms and pockets, searched up and down, and pulled out stacks of talismans, but there was no Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Note.
The corner of her mouth twitched, and she said with embarrassment, "It seems to be out of use."
When contestants enter the secret realm, they are not allowed to bring in any foreign objects, such as mustard seeds, Qiankun bags, and other magical instruments, as well as natural treasures and some elixirs. Unless they are refined or grown by themselves, they must be left outside the secret realm.
Things like Tu Nian's mustard seeds and even the Golden Crow Beast were all placed with Nie Yanchen for safekeeping. The space on her body was really limited. She packed a lot of talismans this time, but didn't pay much attention to the ratio between the various talismans. Now it seems that she didn't pack enough Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Notes.
"I'll draw one now."
Tu Nian decisively took out a blank piece of yellow talisman paper, drew out the warm jade wolf hair brush from his arms and was about to start writing, but was stopped in mid-air by Chi Wenzhao.
"Go in and take a look. Those," he said, glancing at her hands, "keep them for use."
Tu Nian's face turned red.
Indeed, she didn't bring many blank talisman papers with her, and basically one less piece was used as she used one. However, she thought Chi Wenzhao would not notice such a small matter.
From this perspective, this taciturn guy is actually quite thoughtful.
"He doesn't talk much, but he has a lot on his mind." Tu Nian muttered softly, glancing at him.
Chi Wenzhao half heard and half didn't hear, and turned his head to look at her. Tu Nian quickly turned his eyes away, put the talisman paper back into his arms, and then turned back to grin at him as if nothing had happened, "Senior Brother, take the lead!"
Chi Wenzhao nodded and went into the cave quickly. Tu Nian smiled secretly and followed closely behind him in small steps.
"Wow, it's so dark."
As soon as he entered the cave, the surrounding environment suddenly became pitch dark, like turning off the lights at night. Tu Nian was caught off guard and was startled, sighing subconsciously.
Although he was frightened, Tu Nian did not delay his actions. He slowed down his steps and quickly took out the fire talisman.
The fire talisman lit up, and the two saw light again. They were able to see the structure inside the cave clearly, and found that the entrance of the cave was a concave structure surrounded by a circle of stone walls with a strange texture, which seemed to be able to absorb or reflect light. This made the inside of the cave darker than the outside. Even the burning fire in the cave looked dim, like a small oil lamp.
"How weird." Tu Nian muttered.
With lighting, the two began to walk along the road.
The cave is cold and damp, with a few bats occasionally flying out. The deeper you go, the more disgusting and foul smell you will smell.
Chi Wenzhao walked in front with a sword in hand, and Tu Nian followed behind with his mouth and nose covered. With the help of the firelight, they could see some rotten bones on both sides of the road in the cave, and more of them were bat droppings.
Is there really anyone who would come to a place like this on their own initiative?
Tu Nian was very suspicious and even wanted to draw a long-distance sound transmission note to ask Chu Qiurong clearly. If they were really staying in such a strange place, they should come out quickly.
But Chi Wenzhao had no intention of leaving, and he took each step firmly. Tu Nian was too embarrassed to back out just because it was "unhygienic", so he could only remain firm in his belief and continue to walk in with him.
However, as the two went deeper, more and more bats hung on the ceiling of the cave, almost to the point where the walls were covered with them, which was disgusting. The bat excrement also piled up on the ground, emitting an increasingly strong stench.
Tu Nian, who prided himself on being a ninja, couldn't stand it any longer. He said to Chi Wenzhao, holding his breath, "Why don't we go out and look for..."
She scored twice, and her mouth was covered again. However, Chi Wenzhao's expression this time was much more serious than before. "Don't make a sound, there's something inside."
"squeak--"
As if to confirm his words, before Chi Wenzhao finished his words, a sharp hissing sound like a leakage of electricity suddenly came from the deepest part of the cave, piercing the eardrum like a sharp thorn.
"run!"
As the roar sounded, Chi Wenzhao decisively shouted out the most powerful word he had ever said since the competition, then pulled Tu Nian up and ran towards the cave exit.
"etc!"
Before Tu Nian could react, he was dragged along by him and ran a few steps. In the process, he tripped over a piece of bone and almost fell. In just a moment, the dense bats on the top of the cave had spread their wings one after another and pounced towards the two of them like crazy.
