Big man

"What about those praying mantises?"

After congratulating Yanxilou, Xiao Fan immediately got to the point.

Ji Qingsha frowned slightly, and said, "I'm still not sure what's going on, but the leader said that it might be a big praying mantis that ran out of the Worm King's Cave, and for some reason, it suddenly started besieging the village... ..."

"The Worm King Cave?"

Ji Qingsha then explained to Xiao Fan that this Peach Blossom Village was indeed the village she had been looking for inhabited by Gu people from Miaojiang, and the inheritance was very ancient.It is said to have a history of more than 1000 years.Because the village is located in the depths of the cloud-shrouded mountain and is covered by ancient prohibitions, it has been difficult for outsiders to find it for so many years.And the people in the village rarely go out, and basically do not communicate with the outside world.Only the leaders would go out once in a while to learn about the changes in the outside world.

This time, if it weren't for Yanxilou to lead the way, even with Ji Qingsha's ability, it would be absolutely difficult to find Taohuazhai.The divination technique she is good at cannot provide her with much specific help.

The Chongwang Cave is the most mysterious place in Taohua Village. It is said that an ancestor of Taohua Village who is famous for repelling insects is enshrined in it.For so many years, no one has ever been able to enter the Worm King Cave.So now, we can only speculate that the praying mantis might have escaped from the Worm King Cave. After all, no one has seen it with their own eyes, and no one can be sure.

"Can't you get in the Worm King Cave?"

Xiao Fan was a little surprised.

"Ah."

Ji Qingsha nodded.

"I went to see it. It's a small cave, very shallow. Stand outside the cave and look inside. It's almost clear at a glance. I studied it carefully, and it seems to be some kind of space restriction. I couldn't find the entrance."

Xiao Fan nodded and pondered.After a while, he said: "When I was outside just now, I already felt the spiritual power fluctuations in the depths of the dense forest. It seems that there is something more powerful than those blue-gray praying mantises hiding in there."

Ji Qingsha slightly raised her eyebrows, and said, "So, there really is an insect king?"

"Judging from the strange behavior of these praying mantises, it should be like this. There is a commander hiding behind the scenes to control it. As for whether it is the insect king or something else. It is not certain yet. Maybe it is other monks who know how to repel insects."

Ji Qingsha thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, why didn't the worm king attack the cottage himself? Those blue-gray praying mantises were almost able to break through the Peach Blossom Formation."

The insect king is expected to be stronger than the blue-gray praying mantis. If he goes out in person, the Peach Blossom Village may be breached before Xiao Fan arrives.

Xiao Fan shook his head and said: "I'm not so clear about this, maybe the restraining power of the Peach Blossom Formation is especially effective for the Insect King. It doesn't dare to take risks easily."

"It seems that this is the only explanation."

Xiao Fan said: "No matter what, the manipulator behind this scene must be found out, otherwise Peach Blossom Village will always be unsafe."

Ji Qingsha bit her lip lightly.

This is what makes Xiao Fan different, in his thinking.The safety of everyone in Taohuazhai is always the first priority.I'm afraid he never thought about it at all, "it's none of your business to hang on to it".Change someone.I'm afraid he won't take the safety of Taohuazhai as his own responsibility.

Just because Yanxilou is Taoyao's fiancé, Xiao Fan is willing to face the unknown danger.And deep down in Xiao Fan's heart, he also took it for granted.It's only natural.Let him take Ji Qingsha away like this, leaving hundreds of mountain people in Taohuazhai to wait to die here, Xiao Fan absolutely can't do it.

No wonder the Promise Gate was regarded as the leader by the Righteous Path Alliance back then.

"Let's go, let's go to the Worm King Cave first."

Xiao Fan stood up.

There must be some special reason for the army of mantises to besiege Taohuazhai suddenly and fearlessly.Since Tao Xuefeng speculates that this bug is related to the King of Worms Cave, he might as well go to the King of Worms Cave to find the answer.

Naturally, everyone followed him without saying a word.

The Chongwang Cave is located in the center of Peach Blossom Village, a slope goes down slowly and goes deep into the ground.Peach Blossom Village is built in the valley, the terrain is flat and low-lying.And this slope should be the lowest point of the entire cottage.

Many insects prefer dark, moist environments.

As soon as he walked down the slope, Xiao Fan saw a cave on the loess cliff opposite the slope.It seems that this cave was not formed naturally, but was opened up artificially.

Ji Qingsha is right, the cave is very small and extremely shallow.At a glance, it can accommodate two people side by side, and the depth is only two feet, and the end is complete. There is nothing special about it.To put it bluntly, this is not actually a cave, but a relatively deep depression on the cliff.

On the left and right sides of the cave, weeds are overgrown, without any "identity" signs.

However, Xiao Fan still saw the difference of this cave at a glance, that is, the traces of chiseling were very obvious.It was obviously formed by chopping with a sharp weapon, and there are still scars left on the cave wall.

Ji Qingsha said softly from the side: "There is a feeling that reminds me of flying a sword."

Xiao Fan couldn't help but smile lightly.

As the so-called hero sees the same thing, he also has the same feeling. It seems that the cave was not dug out with special tools such as picks and shovels, but was hacked out with weapons such as flying swords and giant axes.What kind of person would use a flying sword instead of a pickaxe to open up a cave?

Undoubtedly, the answer can only be the ancient practitioners!

No cultivator would carry a shovel and pickaxe with him to open up caves, so naturally he could only use magic weapons such as flying swords.It's just that there is no ancient cultivator who can dig such a cave with a depth of less than two feet here with magic weapons.

It's so inexplicable.

"You read that right, there is a space restriction here."

Xiao Fan said slowly.

He had just come here, and he was still a few feet away from the cave, and the "Qian Kun Cauldron" in his body had already sensed it, and the sense was relatively strong. From this, it can be seen that the space restriction here is extraordinary.

Xiao Fan walked towards the cave without haste.

Hei Lin, who was lazily lying in his arms, suddenly stood up, jumped onto his shoulders, stared at the cave with piercing eyes, and the silver-white hair on his forehead had a faint silver light. It was flickering, as if there was something about this cave that made it extremely exciting.

Ji Qingsha couldn't help but cast a glance at Hei Lin, and followed Xiao Fan to the cave.

Standing outside the cave, Xiao Fan can already confirm that this cave is definitely larger than the scale in front of him. The "Qian Kun Cauldron" has a very strong response, which shows that the space restriction here is really extraordinary.

The power of Xiao Fan's divine sense came out, and he scanned around the cave, but there was nothing unusual. It felt like there were thick mountain walls all around.

With a sound of "huh", Xiao Fan slapped out with a palm, the strong wind howled, and the mighty righteousness surged out, hitting the front mountain wall heavily, and rebounded violently.

Ji Qingsha said in a low voice: "I've thought of a lot of ways, and even used the fire attack, but it didn't work at all. But the restriction here is also quite interesting, it only prevents others from spying, and doesn't fight back to hurt people. Look The person who set up this restriction at the beginning is still kind-hearted."

Xiao Fan smiled and said: "It may also be that the power of our attack is too low, and there is no countermeasure to activate the restraint."

Ji Qingsha smiled sweetly and said, "That's true."

Tao Xuefeng, who was standing far behind, suddenly said: "Mr. Xiao, it is said that this is the Worm King Cave in our village, but to tell Mr. Xiao, no one has ever entered it. This cave... The hole...is it really bigger than this?"

The words are full of curiosity.

It seems that even the head of the Peach Blossom Village doesn't quite believe that there is really a universe inside this Worm King Cave.Perhaps there is only such a rumor, the real Worm King Cave has long been annihilated, and there is only one ruin left here.

This can be seen from the traces of worship remaining at the entrance of the cave.The Insect King Cave has actually become the totem of Taohuazhai for thousands of years, and no one dares to use brute force to destroy everything in the cave.In any case, the ancestors handed down from ancient times warned that these simple mountain people dare not disobey, otherwise, the ancestors will bring disasters.

"Headman, I'm not sure either, let's try it out."

Xiao Fan replied with a smile, green light flickered in his eyes, and "Tianyan clairvoyance" started to work.

Suddenly, Xiao Fan let out a muffled "hum", the green light in his eyes disappeared without a trace, and his face became a bit ugly, as if he had suffered a small loss.

"what's wrong?"

Ji Qingsha hurriedly asked worriedly.

Xiao Fan closed his eyes, and then said: "It's nothing, there seems to be something, I don't want to be peeped at."

This is just a feeling, but this feeling is very real, making Xiao Fan's eyes sting for a while. If he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, he might have suffered more than this small loss.

But then, Xiao Fan became a little excited again.

That is to say, there are really unknown good things hidden in the Worm King Cave.

Xiao Fan didn't say a word, Chu Hong's "Qian Kun Ding" flew out, spinning slowly in front of his chest, and the Chu Hong's chaotic pattern on the Ding's body slowly flowed.

Xiao Fan squeezed the tactic with his left hand, and the five fingers of his right hand were like wheels, and one after another tactic entered into the "Qian Kun Cauldron". It emerged from the top of the mouth, about two feet in diameter, with a dazzling red glow.

The originally calm cave suddenly trembled slightly, and the surrounding air began to ripple like water ripples, layer by layer, clearly visible.

"Spatial fluctuations..."

Ji Qingsha opened her small mouth slightly, her cheeks showed surprise.

Although she had guessed that there was a space restriction in the layout of the Worm King Cave, seeing the space fluctuations with her own eyes still surprised her and made her very curious.

At this time, an emerald green light spot condensed on the cliff in front of the cave, and became very dazzling at an extremely fast speed. Before everyone could distinguish what it was, an emerald green light shocked It shot out and hit the Chu red chaotic figure on the mouth of the "Qian Kun Ding".

There was a soft "chi" sound, and the chaotic map split open from it, turning into dots of red light and dissipating invisible.
