Starting from Scavengers to Cultivate Immortals

Chapter 14
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Chen felt that the dazzling blue light all over the sky was finally slowly dimming and fading away. There were still blue flickering spots in his vision, which finally turned into stars and faded away.

"Where am I?"

Xu Chen suddenly shook his body and opened his eyes. His mind was in chaos and bewilderment. He couldn't even feel his body, and he couldn't remember what happened just now. He tried hard to remember for a long time, and then slowly remembered that he was fighting the third-order wolf. .

When he thought of this, he was startled for a moment, and then suddenly, as if his soul returned to his place, he felt the existence of his body in an instant, and at the same time he couldn't breathe for a moment, as if he was pressed down by a huge boulder, and he quickly exhausted his whole body With all his strength, he suddenly pushed away the wolf that was pressing on him, and then rolled and crawled to the side to avoid it.

Hey, that's not right, why don't I seem to be injured?

Xu Chen moved quickly, and after rolling out, he froze inexplicably.

He vaguely remembered that his chest and abdomen were scratched by the wolf's sharp claws in the end.

But he lowered his head and found that the Taoist robe on his chest was indeed torn, but his body was unharmed.

Then, he was stunned again, no, how could I see clearly.

Xu Chen was really stunned this time.

He stared blankly at his body, then at his hands, then raised his head in surprise, and saw a huge wolf lying motionless on the ground not far in front of him.

Although the black mist was still billowing, he could indeed see the demon wolf clearly, but he could only see a distance of about three feet, and it was still pitch black in the distance.

But at this time, the demon wolf that had caused him great harm and fear did not move at all. He quickly released his consciousness to sweep it away, and then a quiet blue light illuminated a distance of tens of feet, and the situation of the entire cave was clearly revealed in his consciousness. presented.

The demon wolf was dead, lifeless.

And Xu Chen was completely stunned.

Because he clearly felt that in the sea of ​​consciousness between the eyebrows, where the consciousness is usually stimulated, there was a crystal clear blue jade bead floating in the boundless darkness, emitting a blue brilliance. The light of the stars flickered and faded away.

How could this be?
How did this poisonous pearl get into my divine sea?
And how did I become so powerful?
Xu Chen couldn't understand it.

Just now I couldn't see the cave full of black mist with my fingers, now not only my eyes can see clearly for several feet, but my consciousness is abnormally clear. A billowing black mist filled the air.

He tried his best to control his beating heart and chaotic thoughts, and he sorted it out slowly, and finally felt that he should be like this because of this inexplicable jade bead.

Sitting in a daze for half a stick of incense, he didn't wake up suddenly until there was an almost inaudible scream and impact from the cave on the side.

Now is not the time to be in a daze.

Ninth Senior Brother and Thirteenth Senior Sister are still in danger.

Now that the demon wolf is dead, a huge threat has been reduced.

The most important thing right now is to find the brothers and sisters as soon as possible and leave this ghost place.

As for Song Qingshi and the other three monks, Xu Chen didn't pay much attention to it. He had to do what he could to save people. What's more, he wanted to figure out the changes in his body and why the wolf suddenly died.

The third-order monster wolf is an existence that can rival the strong ones in the alchemy realm. Not to mention moving mountains to fill the sea, at least on the edge of the ten thousand li southern border, there are not many stronger existences, and it is absolutely impossible to die without knowing why.

Thinking of this, Xu Chen quickly stood up, first picked up the fallen flying sword, and then there were a few damaged talisman papers and some messy gadgets on the ground, all of which he had collected before.

After putting away all these things, he looked at the rotten third-order demon wolf that was still emitting black air. He activated the flying sword, split the wolf's chest with one sword, and took out a green demon pill the size of an egg from it. He also knocked out two blood-red fangs, stuffed them into his waist pocket, and hurriedly ran along the complicated crack cave to the direction where the sound came from just now.

Right now, he is not only able to see with his eyes, but also can see farther with his spiritual sense, so he can already look for the whereabouts of his companions without any scruples.

As for the danger, he didn't think too much about it, because the deeper the rift entered, the more dangerous it was. To Senior Brother Ninth and the others, it was more terrifying than monsters.

Immortals who have lost their vision and consciousness are actually not much better than mortal masters.

Xu Chen moved forward quickly in the cave.

Although the densely packed gaps and holes looked extremely chaotic and complicated, he kept identifying the direction through the sound coming from him, and at the same time, he had a powerful divine sense that could penetrate the black fog to easily explore the route, so he found it in less than half a moment. A missing monk.

He didn't know this person, but looking at the clothes, he should be a monk from Wuleimen, but he looked very miserable, with tattered Taoist robes, disheveled hair and scars all over his body, and one leg was also lame, just like a blind man groping forward slowly on the stone wall , looking extremely nervous.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the cultivator curled up on the ground in fright, not daring to move.

However, although Xu Chen saw him through his spiritual sense, there was still a narrow hole between them that was too narrow to pass through, and the distance between them was more than ten feet away.

"Fellow Daoist, don't panic. I'm Xu Chen, a disciple of the Taiyuan Sect. I came here to rescue you. How are you doing now?"

Xu Chen's voice sounded in the cave, and immediately resonated in the gaps in all directions, making a buzzing sound.

The terrified Wuleimen cultivator froze for a moment, then cried excitedly: "That's great, fellow Daoist Xu take me out quickly, thank you very much!"

Xu Chen replied: "You are welcome, but there is still a narrow gap between me and you, I can't get through right now, but you can follow my instructions, I believe we will meet soon!"

The monk excitedly said: "Okay, okay, I will follow the instructions of Fellow Daoist Xu!"

So Xu Chen directed the monks to move forward based on the terrain explored by his spiritual sense, and he continued to pass through the gaps and cracks like a maze. The two communicated in words. After half a stick of incense, the two finally found themselves in a relatively spacious cave. meet.

The Wuleimen cultivator burst into tears with excitement. He held Xu Chen's hand tightly and shook it vigorously. He choked up and said, "If Fellow Daoist Xu didn't come here today, my life would be over!"

Xu Chen comforted: "I'm not out of danger yet. In addition, I have two senior brothers and sisters and Master Song Valley who came to rescue them. Now they are all lost and I don't know where they are. We have to find them all together before we can go out. You just hold them." Let go with my robe, and leave together after everyone meets."

The monk of Wuleimen said yes again and again, and then tightly grabbed Xu Chen's tattered Taoist robe, and the two continued to move forward along the complicated cave one after the other.

As the two walked, Xu Chen also asked about what happened after they entered the crack.

In fact, the situation is similar to what Song Qingshi said. The four of them came in together, and the deeper they walked, the weaker their spiritual sense became. When the four of them realized that something was wrong and were about to leave, they realized that the detection distance of their spiritual sense could no longer allow them to discern the correct direction. , and then the four of them ran around like headless chickens looking for a way out, but instead they got deeper and deeper, and finally their consciousness was completely covered by the black mist, coupled with the attack of unknown monsters, the four of them finally separated completely .

Before Xu Chen met this Wuleimen monk named Zhou Ding, he had wandered around in it for more than two hours. He didn't know where he was at all, and how deep he had entered, as if he had fallen into a ghost hitting a wall. Similarly, you can only grope forward with your hands like a blind man, and you have to keep on guard against the attacks of monsters on the way.

During this period, he fought with monsters twice, not to mention his vitality is exhausted, the medicine pills are also exhausted, and the magic weapon has been lost.

He was almost completely desperate. If Xu Chen hadn't appeared in time, even if he wasn't killed by the monster, he would definitely be trapped to death.

But fortunately, God opened his eyes and let Xu Chen find him.

So after communicating and walking with Xu Chen all the way, his mood gradually calmed down, but the more he walked, the more strange he became, and he couldn't help asking: "Fellow Daoist Xu, can you see the road?"

Xu Chen smiled and said, "Is it true that you can see more than ten feet away?"

"More than ten feet?" Zhou Ding exclaimed.

He couldn't help being agitated. His cultivation was in the middle of the Kaiyuan realm, and his normal spiritual consciousness was only about twenty feet outside. In the depths of the black wind rift, it was compressed to almost only two or three feet away. To a knowledgeable monk, this is no different from a blind man.

The two times I was attacked, I didn't react until the monster beast almost pounced on me. This unknown monster beast is not particularly powerful, but it can come and go freely in this complex crack environment, which makes it completely irresistible. , Every time I can only do my best and run away in embarrassment.

In this ghostly place, not to mention more than ten feet, even if you can see three or five feet, you can definitely easily deal with these monsters and get out smoothly.

What he didn't know was that in order not to arouse too much suspicion, Xu Chen had already shrunk most of the data. His current range of consciousness was close to thirty feet.

As for after going out, he speculated that it should not be smaller than Baizhang, which is almost the same as that of a monk in the True Yuan Realm.

"You don't need to be surprised, Fellow Daoist Zhou. It's not about how strong I am, it's just that I used a magic weapon from my master."

When Xu Chen said this, Zhou Ding felt a little relieved, and said with emotion: "There is such a magic weapon, and the Taiyuan Sect has a profound foundation. It really cannot be compared with our small sect like Wulei Sect."

"You're being polite, Fellow Daoist, you're being humble!" Xu Chen was pretending to be polite, but suddenly there was a roar from the side, followed by another bang, and at the same time, there was a shrill female scream.

"Senior Sister Zhao!"

"No, it's Junior Sister Qing'er!"

Xu Chen and Zhou Ding both exclaimed at the same time, and stopped almost at the same time, Zhou Ding said anxiously: "This is my junior sister Si Kongqing, not Fairy Zhao from the Taiyuan sect, please help Daoist Xu quickly."

At this time, Xu Chen also roughly understood that this was indeed not the voice of the thirteenth senior sister Zhao Xuan, so he quickly released all his consciousness and searched for the channel leading to the scream.

This time luck was good, the two parties were only a few tens of feet away from each other, and there was a rift between them, so the two soon found Sikong Qing.

But at this time, the woman's condition was extremely poor, she suffered several serious injuries on her body, her clothes were torn and covered in blood, and she was almost in a semi-comatose state. The most important thing was that the monster that attacked her did not leave, but was still in the surrounding complex. Walking back and forth in the cracks and holes in the sky, an attack may be launched at any time.

At this time, Zhou Ding was treating Sikong Qing, doing massage and breathing, but Sikong Qing was not fully awake.

Xu Chen said nervously: "Friend Zhou, this is not a place to stay for a long time, we have to leave quickly."

"Okay, thank you Daoist Xu for continuing to lead the way, and I will accompany you with my junior sister on my back." Zhou Ding was not a mother-in-law, so he gave up continuing to rescue, picked up his junior sister and grabbed Xu Chen's Taoist robe with one hand, and the three of them continued walking together.

But just after walking less than ten feet, when passing through a hole, suddenly a gust of black wind burst out from it, and a strange monster that looked like an octopus rushed towards the three of them with its teeth and claws.

If Xu Chen couldn't see it, he might not notice it until the monster got close, but in fact, his consciousness was constantly watching the monster's movements, so when it jumped out of the hole, Xu Chen's flying sword had already slashed towards the entrance of the cave.

"Boom~"

The green sword qi lit up like strands in the dark cave. At this moment, even the blind Zhou Ding could see it clearly. He saw a ray of sword light and cut the monster in half. cut, and then fell to the ground with two thuds.

The cave returned to darkness again in an instant, Zhou Ding's face was frozen, and his mouth was wide enough to stuff a big duck egg in.

From Xu Chen's strike to the killing of the monster, it took only two breaths.

But he didn't notice any monster approaching at all. It wasn't until Xu Chen released the flying sword that he came back to his senses, but with a flash of blue light, the monster had been split in half.

"Huh, how could this be?"

When Zhou Ding was sluggish, Xu Chen was also surprised at this time.

Because the monster that was cut in half by him withered and collapsed soon after landing, and disappeared into black mist within a few breaths.

However, under his keen spiritual observation, there was still a pitch black bead about the size of a finger left on the ground.

"What is this?"

Xu Chen raised his hand, and the black bead fell into his hand. Immediately, a gust of cold air invaded his soul, and he couldn't help shivering slightly. The blue jade bead in the deep sea shone slightly, as if it was going to The cold air was absorbed, and Xu Chen's discomfort disappeared in an instant.

Xu Chen doesn't know what grade the jade bead is, but this black bead is certainly not simple. It can even make a monk like him shiver from the cold. Although he can't feel the existence of spiritual energy, it should be similar to the demon pill Things are just weirder.

But right now is not the time to study this stuff, so Xu Chen casually stuffed the black beads into his waist pocket.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, what happened?" Zhou Ding came back to his senses and asked.

"It's a bit strange. After the monster was killed, it turned into black energy and dissipated." Xu Chen explained, but didn't mention the black pearl.

Although he has never been down the mountain and lacks social experience and experience, he still has the simple and simple concept of hiding good things. Otherwise, his little possessions would not be enough for the brothers and sisters to deceive on the mountain.

Zhou Ding was also very surprised after hearing this, and thought for a while and said: "This crack is unfathomable, and the black wind is even more weird. It is not surprising that some strange monsters can be bred. Fellow Daoist Xu should find other fellow daoists as soon as possible to join them and go out. I'm worried that my junior sister won't be able to last too long."

"Alright, let's go!" Xu Chen continued to lead the way.

Perhaps this is the area where all the Yuan Kaiyuan monks' spiritual consciousness was compressed to the extreme. The two groups of people who came in were almost scattered in this area. Therefore, Xu Chen found another monk, who turned out to be Lu Yuan, the ninth brother.
