Chapter 70: Spending Time to Death
Not long after Qiao Yue and the others left the cave, a series of explosions were heard, one louder than the other, shaking the entire valley. As soon as the explosions stopped, the ground began to shake violently, cracks spread rapidly like spider webs, and then large chunks of the ground collapsed.
Everyone escaped the disaster by flying into the air with their swords in time.
They observed in the air for a while, and after making sure there was no movement, they returned to the ground one by one.
There is a large piece of land sunken in the middle of the woods, which should be the center of the explosion.
Qiao Yue frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "What kind of magical weapon is this? It's so powerful."
She had never heard of it before.
Su Xun, standing by, had a meaningful smile on his face. He raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes revealing a complex expression. He then said casually, "Junior Sister said that this is a firecracker with a slightly louder sound."
Qiao Yue glanced at him, then took out a ball and placed it in her palm.
"Is this it?"
Su Xun's eyes widened instantly: "Senior Sister, how come you have it too?"
"My junior sister gave it to me."
Su Xun: “…………”
Junior sister is partial.
He wants it too!!!
Qiao Yue put the things away and ignored Su Xun. She glanced at the palace guards and calmly ordered, "The explosion was quite loud. The Mandragora Flower was at least injured, if not killed. Everyone, be careful and search separately. Make sure you find the Mandragora Flower."
"yes···"
At this time, Yang Boyong came forward with his fellow apprentices. With a sincere look in his eyes, he clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Junior Sister Qiao, I haven't thanked you for what happened yesterday. If there's anything you need, we brothers can help you with."
"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Senior Brother Yang, you are too kind." Qiao Yue leaned slightly to the side, paused, and then said, "There is indeed something I need your help with."
"Junior Sister Qiao, you said that as long as we can help, we will do our best."
"It's like this, my junior sister is buried in the cave, and her situation is unknown. I'd like to ask you two senior brothers to help find her." Qiao Yue said
The matter of the Datura flower is very important, and the safety of my junior sister is also very important.
"Of course you can."
"Then I'll trouble you two brothers."
“····”
Qiao Yue's brows were tightly knitted together, and she looked at the collapsed area from time to time, her eyes full of anxiety and worry.
Just as Fourth Junior Brother said, Junior Sister must have a backup plan to make this decision, but she still couldn't help but worry.
Zhou Shiqing, seeing her worried expression, gently took the leaves off her head and said softly, "Don't worry, Junior Sister Qiao. I've seen Junior Sister Nan is smart and clever. She must be blessed by fate."
Qiao Yue nodded when she heard this, "I will..."
…
Su Xun put his hand on Zhuo Hua's shoulder, looking like a good brother: "Let's go, go help find someone, don't stay here and get in the way."
Zhuo Hua nodded in agreement.
They are single and don't deserve to be here.
…………
Nan Xiao had no idea what was happening outside. She didn't even know how long she had been lying in her tortoise shell.
The space in this turtle shell is neither big nor small, just enough for her to lie down, but that's all. It's difficult for her to turn over, and her body is a little stiff.
Nan Xiao guessed that the dust outside should have settled, so she reached out and pushed the turtle shell. Even with all her strength, she could only create a gap the size of a finger.
Looking out from this gap, it was pitch black outside. It must be quite tightly compressed.
It was impossible to expect her to get out on her own. She didn't know how long she would have to wait for Second Senior Sister and the others, so Nan Xiao decided to save herself.
She used her spiritual sense to communicate with Xiaoya, asking it to help look around. She couldn't get out of this gap, but Xiaoya could.
The little bud shook its leaves, its body became extremely slender, and it drilled out through the gap.
…………
The other side
Qiao Yue and his group found the injured Datura flower in a collapsed corner.
The flower now lacked the vibrant colors and delicate beauty it had at the beginning. Its once beautiful petals were now blasted to pieces, some stained with black scorch marks, and its stems were broken in several places, looking utterly miserable.
The datura flower subconsciously wanted to run, but its roots had been broken and it had no strength to run anymore.
Even so, it had no intention of letting this group of people off easily. The Mandragora, with its last remaining strength, frantically launched its spikes at the crowd, venting its last vestiges of resentment and anger.
You annoying human monks, die!!!
Everyone drew their weapons and blocked the spikes. Zhou Shiqing swung his sword, and with a wave of sword energy, the mandragora flower instantly split in two and lay powerless on the ground, deader than dead.
The originally large datura flower slowly shrank back to its normal size. Qiao Yue stepped forward, collected its stamens, and placed them in a bottle.
She summoned a palace soldier to her side, handed the bottle containing the datura flower stamens to him, and solemnly instructed him, "Send this back to the City Lord's Mansion as quickly as possible and be sure to hand it over to Elder Qin personally. Also, send these wounded back as well. There must be no delay along the way."
"yes……"
After the matter of Mandragora was handled, the huge rock pressing on Qiao Yue's heart loosened a lot, and the people of Tianhe City were saved.
The palace soldiers left, followed by Shen Chaochao and Gu An.
Gu An was injured, and fellow disciples like Nan Xiao didn't like them. It was pointless to stay here. It would be better for them to follow the palace soldiers first so that they could have someone to take care of them on the way out.
As for the things here, I can come back to look for them later.
It was already completely dark. The collapse here had caused them to search everywhere with their spiritual power, but they still couldn't find Nan Xiao.
Qiao Yue and Su Xun couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
At this moment, a fresh leaf emerged from the ground.
It shook off the dirt on its leaves, then collapsed to the ground, seeming very tired.
Visibility was poor at night, and Su Xun shouted while using his spiritual power to explore the collapsed area to see if there was any trace of Nan Xiao.
"Junior sister...Junior sister..."
When Xiaoya heard Su Xun's voice, she stood up with a somersault and was about to greet him.
The next second, it was stepped on again by a ruthless black foot.
Su Xun was startled, as if he had stepped on something. He looked down and saw only two leaves, a weed. He didn't take it seriously.
Su Xun moved away.
Xiaoya dug herself out of the mud, and then angrily wrapped herself around Su Xun's calf.
"You bastard, if you step on me, I won't kill you..."
Xiaoya briefly forgot the task that Nan Xiao had assigned to it, and now it only wanted to avenge the kick.
Su Xun noticed something unusual and quickly dodged.
The man and the vine started fighting on a dark and windy night.
Qiao Yue and others gathered over when they heard the fighting.
She was a little confused.
Isn't the Datura dead? Could there be other plant-type spirits here?
Just as she was about to help, the two green leaves on the demon vine looked more and more familiar to her.
At this time, Zhou Shiqing and others had already rushed forward, and Qiao Yue happened to recognize Xiaoya.
She quickly shouted, "Wait a minute, this is Junior Sister's contracted demon spirit."
