There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 30 The City in the Mountains and Forests (Please read and collect)
  The rain stopped.

The mountain road leading to the monster gathering place is very long. There are hidden sentries at every section. The road is not as dirty as expected. Even if it is washed by heavy rain, there is no feeling of mud. This alone is better than most small towns in Xia Kingdom. county seat.

It can be seen from some rest areas set up on the road that there should be a lot of monsters coming and going on this road in normal times, but now it is extremely quiet.

The eerie silence was interrupted by the sound of an arrow piercing the air. Someone had triggered the traps in the mountains and forests on both sides of the road.

The "ding-ding" sound of metal collision sounded continuously. More than a dozen Qi practitioners cooperated with each other. Some were lighting on both sides, some were responsible for cleaning the hidden whistles, and some were guarding the surroundings. They ran over more than a dozen hidden whistles without any hindrance. .

Behind the Qi Practitioner was a mountain-searching team of hundreds of people. The torches in their hands formed a long and narrow fire dragon on the mountain road.

The Qi Practitioner exploring the path in front may not have expected it to be so smooth, so he couldn't help but speed up a lot. The monsters he encountered along the way were either escaping or planning to ambush. As long as they were discovered, they had no chance of survival.

a quarter of an hour later...

The Qi practitioner in front saw a city with the help of the faint moonlight.

So, they lit up their aura and formed a simple 'illumination technique' in mid-air, and then they really saw a city. It was a small city made of huge rocks and wooden piles. There were high and low houses, neat roads, and There is a water channel coming down from the top of the mountain. There seems to be a huge quarry to the north, and a patch of vegetable fields can be vaguely seen to the west.

It's just that the small town is very quiet at the moment. The only sound source is from the central square of the city, where a dozen little demons are dancing around a bonfire, but what is roasting on the bonfire is human thighs!

"These beasts!"

A qigong practitioner was so angry that he waved his spear in his hand, jumped to the top of a towering stone roof, and was about to rush towards the central square of the city.

"They are just beasts..." someone agreed, and then more than a dozen Qi practitioners rushed over in unison.

"You bastards!"

A wolf monster on the opposite side shouted angrily, but the words he said were strange... They also regarded humans as beasts.

The battle started quickly and ended quickly...

All the monsters were killed in the center of the square, and their blood stained the clean square red. When the fighting stopped, the Qi Practitioners heard some strange sounds coming from deep in the city.

At this time, the Sou Shan army also entered the city. Everyone was extremely shocked. Some of them couldn't help but rushed into the nearby house...

Deep in the city.

The building has a towering staircase that goes straight into the mountain behind. The Qi practitioners looked at each other, sent a green signal, and then covered each other and rushed up the steps.

On the steps was a huge platform, and an attic built on the mountain was the most dazzling. Under the flickering firelight, several rat demons and the packages they carried were very conspicuous.

When the rat demons saw the Qi Practitioners ascending the steps, they decisively put down their backpacks and ran towards the mountain behind. When they got close to the mountain, they immediately cast spells and burrowed into the soil.

Two Qi practitioners were about to pursue them, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye. Others walked over and carefully opened the packages, and then saw a bunch of silver lumps rolling out of the packages, and some even had one or two gold ingots mixed in. .

"Wow, the harvest is quite big this time!"

"You two go guard the entrance to the steps, and the others work in pairs to continue searching for traces of monsters... You go and notify Master Guangxuan!"

The leading Qi practitioner looked away from Yin Qiaoda and quickly issued orders.

...

When Wang Ping and others entered the deep mountain city, they were even more shocked than the militiamen because they saw the prototype of a civilization!

"Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise a big demon would appear in a place like this sooner or later, and then all parts of the south would suffer!" Feng Miao looked at Guang Xuan, who had a serious face next to him, with provocative eyes, as if to tell him that the previous argument now has an answer. Come on.

Wang Ping couldn't help but think of the Hushan Kingdom, where monsters and people lived very well. Although the civilization they established was not brilliant, it was better than most areas in the Xia Kingdom.

"The atmosphere here is very stable. The only malice is the hatred from the dead monsters over there!"

Yu Lian's voice rang in Wang Ping's spiritual sea. At the same time, she also wrapped her left arm around Wang Ping's and looked at the city built by monsters.

At this time, a Qi practitioner ran over from a distance and reported: "We found something up there!"

...

Stairs loft interior. As soon as you come in, the first thing you see is a huge dojo. It looks no different from the dojos of other major sects. I think in the past, people often gave lectures and puzzles to the monsters here.

"I feel a very familiar spiritual energy fluctuation..." Feng Miao said seriously as she stood in front of the pulpit.

"What do you mean?"

"The breath of the fire spirit!"

"People from Xuanmen? Or are they the Zhenyang Sect?" This is what Guangxuan asked. If people from Xuanmen were involved in what happened here, the aftermath would be no ordinary trouble.

"No, it's a false god created by 'Day One'!"

As soon as Feng Miao finished speaking, someone shouted from the passage on the left side of the dojo: "Uncle Master, hurry, help!"

Everyone turned around and saw a Qi practitioner with sparks all over his body, running desperately towards Wang Ping and others. Feng Miao's face changed when she saw this and she shouted: "Stop him, he's hit." It’s ‘hot’!”

Most of the Qi practitioners present, including Wang Ping, instinctively took a step back when they heard this. 'Fire Explosion' is the signature spell of the cult's 'First Day'. Those who succeed in it will ignite the sea of ​​Qi in their bodies and self-destruct. The power is linked to the size of the air sea.

Wang Ping read about "The First Day" in the group collected by Taoist Yucheng. It was an alliance formed by a group of lunatics who pursued extreme fairness and justice. It sounded decent, but what they did was crazy. Their most famous Just use the 'Fire Explosion Technique' to explode yourself in a crowd.

When everyone instinctively retreated, Guangxuan took a step forward, and at the same time performed a 'sword control' technique with his left hand...

"Chong"

The sword on his back automatically unsheathed, a cold light flashed, and the flying sword directly shattered the Qi sea in the Dantian of the Qi practitioner who rushed over.

"what!"

With a scream, the Qi practitioner who fell to the ground was covered in magma-like flames.

At the same time, two fox demons with flaming bodies rushed out of the passage from which the Qi Practitioner ran out. They stood at the door of the passage and were about to perform magic spells without saying a word.

But Guangxuan was faster. As an illusory figure sprang out of his body, he took off the gourd from his waist and threw out a piece of water. When the water dispersed, it all turned into ice spikes with cold light.

The next moment, the ice spikes shot the two fox monsters that rushed out into hedgehogs, extinguishing the flames all over their bodies.

"Is this a divine soul?"

Wang Ping looked at the phantom above Guangxuan's body and said in a low voice.

"Yes, I didn't expect Fellow Taoist Guangxuan to hide it so well. I thought he was just..."

Feng Miao didn't say the next words, and then she changed the topic and said: "We must deal with the madman on the 'first day' quickly. If we use spiritual energy to protect ourselves, the 'Fire Explosion Technique' will lose its effect!"

After that, she gritted her teeth and rushed towards the passage on the left!

Xia Yao followed closely behind. Wang Ping subconsciously took out two copper coins and turned them over. He looked at each other and rushed to the passage one after another...

"The three people just now didn't have any ill intentions, but were very warm..."

Yu Lian became about one foot in size, wrapped around Wang Ping's wrist like a silver bracelet, and reminded Wang Ping softly when he passed by the corpses of the two killed fox demons.

Wang Ping calmed down and ignored Yu Lian's voice.

After passing through a corridor of several meters, the first thing you see is a treasure house filled with silver lumps. There is a secret passage deep in the treasure house. Inside is a long and narrow corridor. The corridor is quiet and dark. In the middle, there is the body of a Mikawa Kanchi practitioner. , I think he was killed when he came in to investigate just now.

Feng Miao led the way. She lit the flame and illuminated the corridor.

After more than ten breaths, the four people's eyes suddenly lit up. The light was brought by the flames, and it was very dazzling. They appeared in a larger and magnificent palace!
  "Looks like some ancient ruins?"

Feng Miao murmured, her eyes attracted by the dense stone pillars in the palace. A person was tied to each stone pillar, and a strange magic circle was carved on each stone pillar to connect to the altar at the front of the palace, and the altar was at the front of the palace. Absorb the energy and spirit of everyone on the stone pillar!

Yulian said again at this time: "It's so warm here, but I feel malicious..."
