The cave is actually myself

Chapter 131 Where is my back?
In the thick white fog, Lu Yuan walked slowly through it, focusing most of his attention on the screen shared by the Phantom Yin Pupil clone in his body.

Many avatars were discovered and eliminated by some foundation-building cultivators with deep cultivation bases and keen spiritual senses, and the screen in that small area was also broken, making it impossible to fully monitor for the time being.

At this time, the monks who entered the secret realm were slowly exploring in the mist, and there was no sudden movement.

While Lu Yuan was pretending to pick a spiritual grass, a high-level Qi practitioner escaped from the mist, followed by a giant white jade mantis.

When the high-level Qi practitioner saw Lu Yuan, he was overjoyed. He changed his escape route and ran to Lu Yuan in a few breaths.

Seeing that there was another monk, the White Jade Mantis seemed to be a little afraid of being defeated. Holding up a pair of forelimbs like sawtoothed swords, he flaunted his power and retreated into the dense fog.

The high-level Qi practitioner finally felt relieved and bowed his hands to the confused Lu Yuan to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for rescuing me from that mantis beast. Otherwise, I might have died at the hands of that beast."

Seeing Lu Yuan's brows slightly furrowed, the senior Qi practitioner thought he suspected that he had an unknown origin, and explained to Lu Yuan.

"My two companions and I got separated in this mist formation, and then unfortunately encountered this first-level monster. We were defeated, so we had no choice but to escape. Fortunately, we met fellow Taoist here. That mantis is probably not the two of us. People joined forces and had to retreat.”

Lu Yuan said nothing and nodded gently.

The high-level qi-training monk carefully scanned Lu Yuan's body with his spiritual sense, and found that he could not detect his specific cultivation level, and he suddenly paid more attention to it.

He saw that Lu Yuan was holding a firefly plant in his hand, and he had a rough idea in his mind.

It was judged that Lu Yuan was at most a high-level Qi practitioner, but he only had special weapons to cover his aura, or he practiced special techniques to hide his aura.

After all, a foundation-building monk would not be interested in a Spirit Firefly Grass that was only worth a few spirit stones.

Thinking of this, his face instantly became a little more enthusiastic.

"This fellow Taoist, the secret territory is full of dangers, and the monster beast of the first grade is stalking nearby. How about the two of us temporarily joining forces to fight against the monster mantid beast?"

The fair-skinned young man Lu Yuan looked at the high-level qi-training monk with doubt in his eyes.

"It's hard for me to trust a strange monk in the secret realm. After all, I've seen too many murders and treasure grabbing in the secret realm."

Lu Yuan felt this.

"Indeed, apart from your companions who can depend on you for life and death, it is difficult to trust others."

"It's just that the mantis monster is wandering nearby. If the two of us encounter it alone, it might be difficult to deal with it. With the two of us working together, the mantis doesn't dare to take action rashly."

"There is no need to establish a close relationship. The temporary team can withdraw at any time and maintain a relatively safe distance from each other."

The high-level Qi training monk sincerely suggested to Lu Yuan.

"Something makes sense."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

The two of them walked one behind the other, keeping a distance of about ten feet, and continued to explore slowly in the thick fog.

"Hey, there's a magic medicine here!"

Lu Yuan saw a spiritual grass on the ground not far away, and ran over with joy and picked it out.

The high-level qi-training monk looked at Lu Yuan, who was covered in flaws while running, and his guard lowered a bit.

"I don't know what kind of ignorant young master from a big family can be so undefended in the secret realm and doesn't know how to protect himself. It seems that he came out to explore the secret realm before he has experienced the beatings in the spiritual world."

The high-level qi-training monk looked at Lu Yuan, who had no scheming intentions, and made a guess in his mind.

As time passed, a basic trust was established in the two people's hearts, and the distance between them became about half a foot closer.

"Wow, such a large piece of blood spirit leaf!"

Walking around a giant tree, Lu Yuan, who was walking in the front, suddenly exclaimed, and the high-ranking Qi training monk heard the words, and quickly chased after him.

I saw many blood-red leaves the size of an adult's palm growing in the medicine field in front of me. The red light was so dazzling that the monk could hardly open his eyes.

Blood Spirit Leaf is a first-grade spiritual grass, and one plant is worth about one hundred lower-grade spiritual stones. The Blood Spirit Leaf in this medicinal field...

He couldn't count how many Blood Spirit Leaves there were at the moment. He just felt that what was planted in the medicine field were not spiritual medicines, but spiritual stones.

The two of them had agreed before that if they found any magical herbs or elixirs, they would each pick them according to their abilities and get as much as they could.

Lu Yuan, who was the first to discover the Blood Spirit Leaf, was currently working hard to pick the elixir.

When the high-ranking monk who practiced Qi was about to rush up to pick them, he looked at Lu Yuan, who was bending over and bowing his head, with his back turned to him, and his footsteps slowed down a lot unconsciously.

"There are so many blood spirit leaves, worth so many spirit stones, why do you want to share them with others?"

"This young monk has no scheming and is focused on picking up the elixir. What's even more intolerable is that he actually turns his back to a strange monk..."

Thinking of this, the high-level qi-training monk quietly used a trace of spiritual power to control the flying sword in his hand, drawing a silver-white streak, which penetrated deeply into the body of the fair-skinned young man, and the sword tip came out through the body.

The fair-skinned boy lowered his head weakly.

The high-level qi-training monk added two more talismans, looked at the bloody Lu Yuan, and walked to him with a relaxed expression.

"Junior brother, I will teach you a long lesson. Remember not to turn your back to a strange monk in your next life."

He laughed ferociously and planned to take off the flying sword that had penetrated Lu Yuan's body.

"Ok?"

The flying sword was beyond his expectation and could not be removed.

At this moment, a huge crack suddenly opened in the dead Lu Yuan's back, and a bloody head emerged from the crack. A pair of eyeballs hung below the eye sockets, staring at the high-level Qi practitioner.

"Senior brother, what were you just saying? I didn't hear it clearly. Can you say it again?"

Immediately afterwards, his eyes rolled upwards, and his bloody head seemed to think of something.

"Oh, by the way, talking about your back, don't face the enemy with your back.

Back, where's my back?Brother, have you seen it? "

The head that emerged from the back of the corpse kept turning, pulling the mutilated body behind the head to swing with it.

I searched my head for a long time, but couldn't find any trace of my back.

"Did you see that? Did you hide my back?"

The bloody head howled angrily, shooting out from the mutilated body, carrying a dark black vertebrae, and quickly circled towards the high-level Qi Practitioner.

The high-level qi-training monk was already so frightened that he didn't care about the flying sword remaining on Lu Yuan's body and fled away as fast as possible.

"Brother, have you forgotten something?

You are facing me with your back right now..."

"In that case, you're welcome. It's my back now."

The deep black vertebrae wrapped the high-ranking Qi training monk tightly, put his bloody head next to his ear, and whispered to him.
