I, the Wudang junior master, only want to cultivate immortality!

Chapter 172: Fire Kirin Traces

It’s pitch black, extremely dark, you can’t see your hand in front of you!
This was Gu Changfeng’s first feeling when he entered Lingyun Cave.

At the same time, he also found that his spiritual sense was greatly suppressed, and its range was reduced from two hundred feet to only twenty feet.

Gu Changfeng was not too surprised by this.

Even in the Tomb of the Heavenly Demon, the spiritual consciousness can be suppressed. In the Lingyun Cave, there is the Tomb of the Yellow Emperor, the Fire Unicorn, the divine beast of heaven and earth, and so on. It is not surprising that this level can be achieved.

The terrain in Lingyun Cave is complex, with countless branching roads, and there is no light source.

For ordinary warriors, this alone is a huge challenge, and they can basically only rely on their own perception.

Although torches existed, almost no one knew how to use them.

First of all, no matter how many torches we prepare, how long can they last?

Perhaps all the torches would be extinguished if they encountered some kind of crisis.

Secondly, sometimes when entering such a Jedi, the most dangerous thing is not the danger in the Jedi itself, but the danger from the human warriors who enter the Jedi together.

Human hearts are the most complicated. In the face of huge interests, there are countless examples of teachers and apprentices turning against each other, brothers quarreling, and couples severing their ties.

Holding a torch means exposing yourself to everyone.

God knows if someone in the darkness has already raised a sharp sword and pointed it at his heart?
However, the darkness did not have much impact on Gu Changfeng.

The range of his spiritual consciousness was only compressed, but the area within a radius of twenty feet with himself as the center was still clearly visible, without any impact.

This is the benefit of spiritual consciousness. Once spiritual consciousness is born at the foundation-building stage, the perception ability far exceeds that of a grandmaster warrior.

Through spiritual consciousness, he could "see" that he was actually in a giant cave, which was roughly estimated to be at least five or six feet high.

Various unknown plants grow on the inner walls of the cave, and the walls are uneven everywhere, full of a wild atmosphere.

The goal of this trip is the Fire Qilin and clues about fire-attributed spiritual roots.

Now that the detection range of his spiritual sense was suppressed, Gu Changfeng didn't know where to go to find the Fire Qilin. He just walked along the road and chose any branch he came across.

Half an hour later.

There was still no clue about the whereabouts of the Fire Kirin, and Gu Changfeng did not encounter any danger. There was not even anyone following him secretly to attack him. It seemed more like a picnic.

However, the eerie white bones that could be seen at regular intervals on the ground seemed to constantly remind Gu Changfeng of the danger of being in Lingyun Cave, a desperate place in the martial arts world.

Not long after, Gu Changfeng's expression changed and he finally made some discoveries.

He quickly came to a fork in the road, squatted down and carefully examined the soil on the ground.

Through spiritual sense, one can "see" that there are four obvious charred marks on the ground. If one reaches out and touches it, one can feel the hardness of the soil after being roasted by high temperatures, and it even retains some residual warmth.

Each trace is in the shape of a regular plum blossom, somewhat like a dog's footprint, but much larger.

Gu Changfeng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"According to the records, the Qilin has a sheep's head, wolf's hooves, a round top, and is 12 feet tall. The wolf's hooves are very similar to dog's paws."

"It seems that these are most likely the footprints left by the Fire Qilin!"

After standing up, Gu Changfeng did not move immediately, but quickly formed seals with his hands, and an earth-yellow light flashed on his body.

Wow!
The soil on the ground flowed up along Gu Changfeng's feet like water, and soon formed a khaki armor with exquisite patterns.

Then Gu Changfeng took a step and followed the footprints at a relatively slow pace.

At the same time, his spiritual awareness was fully open and he was paying close attention to the surrounding situation. The magic power in his dantian began to be injected into the Xushen Sword, which entered a power storage state, ready to be unsheathed at any time.

Combine memory.

In the first part of "Feng Yun", even the early Duanlang Nie Feng could fight with Huo Qilin for two moves, and was even later knocked away by Xiongba's three-point return to origin energy. It is obvious that his strength is not that good.

But he was not sure whether the Fire Kirin of Kyushu Continent was equally weak.

According to Gu Changfeng's idea.

Innate treasures like the Innate Earth Spirit Pearl possess so many kinds of incredible powers.

As a divine beast that was born and raised naturally, the Fire Qilin would definitely not be too weak no matter how weak it is. When going out, especially in a desperate situation, it is always better to be careful.

The cave ahead continued its wild and barbaric style. Half a minute later, Gu Changfeng followed the footprints and stopped in front of a pile of rocks with a strange look on his face.

A pile of rocks that fell from a high place blocked the road ahead. It looked like a landslide in a cave, but the most important thing was that through his spiritual sense, Gu Changfeng actually saw a lot of human traces.

Thick wooden stakes and burnt torches were scattered all over the ground.

And these things look very new!

Gu Changfeng looked above his head and saw many traces of artificial excavation on the dome.

Obviously, this was a man-made landslide!
If there were no spiritual consciousness, it would not be easy to see with the naked eye in such a dark environment.

The charred footprints on the ground extended all the way inside. Gu Changfeng did not hesitate too much. He pointed one palm at the pile of rocks, and green thunder suddenly appeared in the palm of his palm.

"Otuki Divine Thunder!"

boom!
The pile of rocks was blown open, and Gu Changfeng stepped in. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was slightly stunned.

The area here is quite large, about three or four hundred square meters.

There were huge rocks that had fallen from the dome scattered all around, and charred footprints on the ground were scattered all over the place.

There were many sword marks on the wall, which clearly showed that the Fire Kirin and human warriors had fought a great battle here.

But there was not even a trace of Fire Qilin's blood on the ground, which showed that the Fire Qilin had the upper hand.

Gu Changfeng walked forward and looked around, but his spiritual sense found a person under a pile of rocks. To be precise, it should be a person who was seriously injured.

Its life breath has become extremely low.

Gu Changfeng used the earth spirit to quickly move the rocks away and get the people out.

This man looked to be close to thirty years old, with long flowing hair and a handsome face, only slightly inferior to himself.

His body was covered in bruises and blood, obviously injured by a huge rock.

There was even a hideous claw mark on the chest, emitting a burning breath that burned the wound black.

"It looks like the wound was left by a Fire Kirin." After a moment of hesitation, Gu Changfeng placed his palm in front of the man, and the Yimu magic power flowed through his body.

"Rejuvenation!"

Green spots of light continued to emerge from Gu Changfeng's palm and sank into this person's body. His injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his breath gradually stabilized.

After just a dozen breaths, the other party woke up leisurely, with a slightly dazed look in his eyes.

After seeing Gu Changfeng, a look of gratitude appeared on his face and he spoke weakly.

"Nie Feng, thank you for your help. May I ask what is this young man's name?"

It was actually Nie Feng? And he was buried alive here?
Gu Changfeng was slightly surprised and spoke immediately.

"So you are Master Feng of the Tianxia Association. Nice to meet you. I am Gu Changfeng of Wudang."

Nie Feng also showed a hint of surprise on his face, "Wudang Gu Changfeng? Young Master Gu's reputation is well-known even in Zhongzhou."

Then he waved his hand with a slightly bitter look on his face.

"I am no longer in Tianxiahui. I am just an idler. I cannot be addressed as Feng Tangzhu."

"I am a little older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Nie."

After hearing what Nie Feng said, Gu Changfeng immediately understood.

It seems that at this time, Feng Yun and Feng Yun were divided by Xiongba using the matter of Kong Ci, which led to the time point when they turned against Xiongba and rebelled against the Tianxiahui.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Gu Changfeng asked again.

"I wonder why Brother Nie was buried alive here?"

"Looking at the traces around us, could it be that there was a battle with the Fire Kirin?"

After hearing this, Nie Feng's expression became even more bitter and he sighed softly.

"Fight? No, no, no, to be precise, the Fire Kirin just gave me a random claw, it can't be called a fight."

"To be honest, I was blind and was plotted against by my friend Duan Lang whom I have known for many years. It is really sad."

He then narrated the incident again.

Gu Changfeng showed a look of understanding.

To put it simply, after Nie Feng rebelled against the Tianxia Society, he lived in seclusion in Fengxi Village, but was found by the Twelve Evil Killers of Tianchi. In order to avoid pursuit, he ran to Lingyun Cave.

He happened to meet his good friend Duan Lang, who claimed that he wanted to kill Huo Qilin to avenge his father and even set up a trap.

But it was obvious that Duan Lang underestimated the strength of Fire Kirin. Even after obtaining the Fire Kirin Sword, he was still defeated.

At the critical moment, Duan Lang turned against Nie Feng, who had saved his life, and pushed him out to protect himself. When he left, he blew up the dome of the cave, trapping Nie Feng there.

Through Nie Feng's narration, Gu Changfeng also had a certain understanding of the Fire Kirin's strength.

Nie Feng is a powerful grandmaster at the peak of his powers, but Duan Lang, who has obtained the Fire Scale Sword, is even stronger.

But even so, even after setting up the traps, it was still defeated and was unilaterally crushed. So the strength of Fire Kirin has at least reached the level of unity between man and nature.

After sighing for a long time, Nie Feng thanked Gu Changfeng again.

"Thank you very much for your help this time, Young Master Gu. Otherwise, I would be in great danger."

"I wonder why Young Master Gu came all the way from the Eastern Region to Lingyun Cave? Are you looking for the opportunity inside?"

Gu Changfeng nodded vaguely, "Yes, it is said that Lingyun Cave is full of treasures, and I am here to try my luck."

"Also, Brother Nie can just call me Changfeng."

There was no surprise on Nie Feng's face. Every time the entrance to Lingyun Cave appeared, a large number of martial artists would come to hunt for treasures. This was normal.

After thinking about it, he spoke to Gu Changfeng in a serious tone.

"Changfeng, I know you are very powerful, but Lingyun Cave is extremely dangerous, especially the Fire Kirin, which seems to have the ability to control fire. Its strength is definitely comparable to that of a master in the Heaven and Man Unity Realm."

"I don't know where it has gone now. You must be careful when looking for opportunities. Don't be too aggressive if you meet it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Feng's face suddenly became painful, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he suddenly had the urge to tear everything in front of him to pieces!

Gu Changfeng raised his eyebrows, thinking that with the healing power of his rejuvenation technique, Nie Feng's injuries should have been healed. Why did he suddenly become like he was going crazy?

As his spiritual sense enveloped Nie Feng, Gu Changfeng suddenly discovered that the blood in his body suddenly began to almost boil!
"Could this be the crazy blood flowing in the Nie family's bodies?"

Gu Changfeng's heart moved and he reminded him.

"Brother Nie, why don't you practice the Ice Heart Technique passed down from our family? It might work wonders!"

Nie Feng didn't think much after hearing this, and immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, reciting the Bing Xin Jue formula continuously.

"If your heart is as clear as ice, you won't be startled even if the sky falls;"

"No matter how things change, you will still be calm and at peace;"

"Forget the self and keep the oneness, and the six senses will be at peace."

An inexplicably calming force emanated from Nie Feng.

At the same time, outside Lingyun Cave.

The fat dog king and the opera treasure wearing a mask came leaping over.

The big black dog's nostrils twitched rapidly and then it started barking wildly at the entrance of Lingyun Cave.

Seeing this, the Dog King spat on the ground and spoke in annoyance.

"Damn it, he actually ran to Lingyun Cave. This is trouble."

Xibao was also a little helpless, but then he spoke in a deep voice.

"The leader said that we must see the person alive or the body dead. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, don't we still have to go?"

Then, two figures soared into the sky and disappeared into the entrance of Lingyun Cave.
