Chapter 130 Chasing and Killing
This second cave is completely different from the first cave.

To be precise, this place can no longer be called a cave, but a canyon.Because standing here, you can see white clouds, the sun, and the blue sky when you look up!
But Qin Chuan knew that the blue sky and white clouds above his head were not really blue sky and white clouds.That's just an illusion under the effect of the big formation.

The sky looks peaceful and peaceful now, as long as you accidentally touch the formation, there will be thunder and lightning, and you will be chased away.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Qin Chuan carefully recalled the analysis content on the detailed map, and once again told the disciples to be careful, and then took steps to embark on the second journey.

There is plenty of light here, and there is no need for ritual lighting at all.Moreover, the surrounding vegetation is lush, the leaves are green and the flowers are flourishing, and the scenery is quite good.

But Qin Chuan was not in the mood to appreciate it at all.While being careful not to touch things that shouldn't be touched, he kept a close eye on his surroundings.

Because in this second layer of caves, elixir that is more than a hundred years old has begun to appear.Each plant is priceless.Any one that is missed is a huge loss.

It has to be said that Qin Chuan's luck is still very good.After walking more than a hundred steps, they unexpectedly found three elixir plants that were more than a hundred years old.This made him very excited.

It's a pity that blessings come in misfortunes.I just collected the third elixir and put it into the new storage bag on my waist, when suddenly my spiritual sense noticed something strange, in a path on the left, someone was approaching here!
It seems that under the operation of the second layer of cave formation, Yuhuamen and other sects really encountered each other!
Qin Chuan's face became serious, and he told the four juniors and juniors: "There are other sects coming this way, everyone back up, back to the ancient pine tree behind you."

Everyone was ordered to retreat immediately, and stood still at the ancient pine not far away.Qin Chuan looked forward intently, wanting to see which faction would encounter Yuhuamen.

Soon, a figure appeared in the field of vision.After Qin Chuan saw the face and clothing of the visitor, his brows twitched - Feiyunmen!

The group of people coming out from the path on the left is the Feiyunmen treasure hunting team led by Cao Gongze.

Qin Chuan recognized the three disciples walking in the front at a glance. They were the three who came out in embarrassment after being chased by Lightning Xiao for the first time in the cave a few days ago.

At this time, the faces of the three people were sad, looking around, their eyes were full of blankness.

Qin Chuan laughed in his heart when he saw it.These three Feiyunmen disciples must be wondering in their hearts, why the scene in front of them has completely changed after entering the cave through the same path last time?
They didn't know that the second cave was surrounded by a large array, and the inside scene was unpredictable!

Qin Chuan did not guess wrong.After Cao Gongze led a group of Feiyunmen disciples into the Jiuquhuilong Cave, he immediately let the three disciples who had entered the cave last time lead the way.

This time, the head of the sect and the elders of the sect personally led the battle. The three disciples were determined and led the way enthusiastically, preparing to find the utterly distressed Lightning Owl who chased them last time, and kill them in one fell swoop for revenge.

But before going far, the three people looked at each other in blank dismay, because they found that the scene in the cave was completely different from the last time they entered.

They never imagined that the environment and vegetation in the cave could all change, and they thought it was because they were chased too hard by monsters last time, so they didn't see the environment clearly.Of course, I didn't dare to mention it to Cao Gongze, so I could only bite the bullet and continue to lead the way.

Originally, they had told Cao Gongze that they would arrive at the monster's lair shortly after entering the cave, and there were still a large number of high-year elixir alive in the lair.

But going around along the way, there was no sign of monsters, elixir and so on.

Cao Gongze couldn't help being very angry.

Originally, his plan was to rely on his familiarity with this cave to quickly kill the monsters and collect the elixir, so that he could enter the ninth uninhabited cave to explore and hunt treasures before other sects, and obtain double rewards. reward.

Unexpectedly, these three disciples seem to have amnesia at the same time, and there are often differences in leading the way, and the answers to questions they ask are also contradictory and ambiguous.

If it weren't for the fact that they were still needed, Cao Gongze would have wished for a wind cone to stab them all to death.

Just when he was full of anger and unable to vent, he suddenly noticed something strange within the range covered by his spiritual consciousness.Someone is nearby!
Cao Gongze didn't know that in the cave of the second level, all sects might meet each other, so he thought that he had encountered an enemy situation, so he became more alert.Order all the disciples to be vigilant and move closer slowly.

When the two factions met and Qin Chuan saw Cao Gongze, Cao Gongze also saw Qin Chuan.

When he saw it, Cao Gongze immediately looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahaha, Master Qin, we entered the cave from different entrances, and we still met. It seems that you and I are really destined for each other!"

A smile also appeared on Qin Chuan's face: "It is indeed fate to meet you here. If you are dealt with here, the head of the sect will not have to worry about the troubles after leaving the cave."

Cao Gongze looked at Qin Chuan with great doubts in his heart.Look at this kid's confident appearance, could it be that the Kunshan faction is also nearby?
After checking around with his spiritual sense and making sure that no one else was lurking around, Cao Gongze said with confidence: "I really don't understand. You are only on the seventh level of cultivation. Where did you have the guts to make you crazy! Do you think With the Kunshan faction as your backer, you can run rampant in the world? If you are capable, let that surnamed Ding come out and save you now!"

"To deal with you, it is enough for me to become a feather." Qin Chuan said lightly.

"Hmph, you can be arrogant with your words, but you still have to rely on your strength to speak! You might as well take out all your intermediate talismans and see if you still have a chance to escape this time!"

Cao Gongze learned the lesson from last time, and this time his consciousness is firmly locked on Qin Chuan.It takes a certain amount of time to read the spell to activate the mana of the talisman.During this period of time, he was sure enough to kill Qin Chuan on the spot.

Unexpectedly, this time Qin Chuan didn't take out any talismans, he just stretched out his hand and patted the ancient pine next to him four times, and then said to Cao Gongze: "This time, the head is walking swaggeringly, if you have the ability, you come to chase !"

As he said, he led a group of Yuhuamen disciples to turn around and walk away swaggeringly.

Cao Gongze was completely irritated by Qin Chuan's arrogant appearance.Just as he was about to raise his fan to cast a spell, he suddenly lost sight of everyone in the Yuhua Sect.There is no movement in the consciousness.

Weird!With their superficial cultivation, how could they escape from the scope of their spiritual consciousness in an instant?Cao Gongze was very surprised, he quickly waved his hand and ordered his disciples: "Hurry up!"

With a flash of his figure, he first chased after Qin Chuan in the direction where he left.All the disciples followed suit.

Unexpectedly, everyone had just set foot in the area near the ancient pine tree. This ancient pine tree, which seemed to be 200 years old, suddenly started automatically without wind.As the branches swayed, the pine needles on the tree immediately turned into countless sharp arrow clusters, shooting at the disciples of the Feiyun Sect!

The disciples were taken aback, and were about to release their magical weapons to resist, when they suddenly felt a strong wind blowing around them, and they went straight to the pine needles.The pine needles that were originally densely packed were instantly blown away and scattered in all directions.The originally silent canyon suddenly seemed like a green rain.

Seeing that the headmaster took action to defuse the attack of pine needles, all the disciples couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were about to pull themselves together and move on, but they didn't expect the vision to regenerate—the pine needles that had fallen to the ground turned out to be as if possessed one by one. As if they were alive, they quickly gathered together, and finally condensed into two long python shapes, circling and twisting, and pounced on Feiyunmen disciples.

These two green "boa constrictors" are covered with spikes, not to mention being bitten, even if they are touched by any part, their skin will be ripped apart if they don't die!

"I said why did he suddenly lose his trace? It turned out that he used formations to block his consciousness!" Cao Gongze came to his senses when he saw the strange changes of the pine needles.

"However, such a small trick to block the old man in a disguised form is simply a dream!" His expression turned cold, and he threw the wind fan in his hand forward, and immediately spun rapidly not far in front of him.

With the rotation of the wind fan, the surrounding air was immediately pulled, and soon a huge wind vortex with a diameter of about one meter was formed in front of Cao Gongze.

The wind vortex turns faster and faster, and emits a strong suction force from the center of the vortex.

When the two "green pythons" formed by gathering pine needles flew close to the vortex, they were immediately pulled by the suction force emanating from it. The disciples attacked.

All the disciples of Feiyun Sect saw that the master's attack was really extraordinary, and immediately blocked the attack of the strange pine needle python. They were all determined and stood quietly behind the master to watch the show.

I saw that under the urging of Cao Gongze, the mysterious wind fan rotated faster and faster, and the suction force emitted by the vortex became stronger and stronger.

The two "green pythons" were finally unable to compete, and the pine needles were sucked into the vortex one by one, smashed and smashed, and the body of the "boa constrictor" became smaller and smaller, and finally it was completely sucked into the wind vortex and disappeared without a trace.

Cao Gongze let out a cold snort, and retracted the wind fan.The vortex in front of him also dissipated, and the only thing left was green juice flowing across the ground.It's all just after the pine needles were smashed.

"No, the juice on the ground is still weird!" The elder Meng Yang, who entered the cave with Cao Gongze, lowered his head inadvertently, and immediately shouted loudly.

Cao Gongze looked at the ground and found that it was true.The green liquid formed after the pine needles were smashed was not flowing indiscriminately, but still seemed to be alive, converging into two green streams, which flowed into the vegetation on both sides.

When the green juice flowed into the grass on both sides, the ordinary weeds immediately seemed to be awakened, and their leaves swayed, desperately absorbing the flowing green juice, as if it was some kind of peerless nourishment.

There are many weeds on both sides, everyone absorbs it together, and the green liquid is quickly absorbed.However, the weeds also became weird, swaying and twisting crazily, and quickly grew wildly.

In the blink of an eye, the low grass grew taller than the ancient pine, and the long grass blades waved wildly like tentacles, covering the sky and the sun.

This weird situation made the Feiyunmen disciple's heart tugged again.

Cao Gongze's complexion also changed - the strange scene after scene seemed to be endless!Going on like this is not the way to go, we must find the key to breaking the formation!
At this moment, the wild weeds had already started to attack Feiyunmen.However, Cao Gongze stopped attacking and said loudly: "All the disciples use talismans and magic weapons to defend themselves, only defending and not attacking. Let me see the master to break this demon formation!"

As soon as the words fell, all the disciples hurriedly used the talisman magic weapon one by one, and set up a protective shield around their bodies for safety.

Those who are selected to enter the Jiuqu Huilong Cave are all Feiyunmen elites, and the lowest level of cultivation is also the seventh level of refining equipment.Moreover, the Feiyun Sect has a profound background, and these people all have magical artifacts and talismans in their hands. After making defenses, the weeds covering the sky and covering the sun twisted wildly and enveloped them, trying to hang them to death, but all of a sudden, But it can't break through anyone's protective shield.

As for Cao Gongze, he is not afraid of these weeds.He has stellar energy to protect his body, and once the grass leaves approach, they will immediately retract as if they were electrocuted.

And Cao Gongze didn't bother to pay attention to them.Turning around, his eyes were firmly fixed on the ancient pine tree.

When Qin Chuan left just now, he patted the ancient pine four times, and then this weird array of vegetation was activated.

Come to think of it, this ancient pine is the key to the demon formation!
Capture the thief first and capture the king first.Regardless of whether the guess is right or wrong, first destroy this pine tree!

Cao Gongze waved the feather fan in his hand, and dozens of wind blades formed immediately, rushing towards the ancient pine roaring all over the sky.

This ancient pine is also like a creature with intelligence, sensing the imminent danger.Immediately, the branches swayed, shooting out waves of pine needles, resisting the wind blades coming from the sky.

Although the wind blade is sharp, chopping up pine needles is like destroying the dead.However, there are endless pine needles, and after one wave is cut, another wave comes again.In the end, all the strength of the wind blade was exhausted, and it dissipated before it hit the pine tree.

Cao Gongze was already full of anger, but now he was even more angry: "A withered and broken tree dares to shake its prestige in front of me!"

With a flick of the wind fan in his hand, two feathers shot out from it.The feathers are incomparably mysterious, and after being shot out, they grow in the wind, and they grow to five or six feet long in the blink of an eye.And the roots are so stiff that they have turned into two extremely sharp feathered swords.

Cao Gongze mobilized his spiritual power and charged with the feather sword remotely.

The first feathered sword pierced all the way from the sky, with incomparable vigor, breaking through layers of pine needles in an instant; the second feathered sword went straight to the trunk of the ancient pine along the path opened by the first feathered sword.

Hearing the sound of "Bo", the second feather sword was so powerful that it not only hit the ancient pine, but also went out directly through the trunk.

The ancient pine was hit hard by this, the branches trembled for a while, and the pine needles on the tree fell to the ground one after another.It withered and died in an instant.

And the crazy weeds that had been intertwined and surrounded the disciples of the Feiyun Sect also withered and dissipated, revealing the blue sky and white clouds above again.

Cao Gongze's time from falling into the formation of grass and trees to successfully breaking through the formation seems to be very long, but in fact it is only a short period of time.

At this time, the formation has been broken, and there is no barrier to the spiritual consciousness. Qin Chuan and other disciples of the Yuhua sect reappeared in Cao Gongze's spiritual consciousness induction.

They haven't gone far!

"Hmph, it's wishful thinking to block this old man with just this little skill! I'll let you fall into my hands later, and I'll punish you for three days and three nights before you die!"

Cao Gongze waved his feather fan in the direction where Qin Chuan and others were fleeing: "Follow them!"

The disciples of Feiyunmen didn't dare to neglect, and immediately rushed forward following the headmaster.

On the other side of the Yuhua Gate, Qin Chuan had already taken nine pine needles in his hand before he slapped the ancient pine to trigger the formation according to the method recorded in the detailed map of the Jiuqu Huilong Cave.

At this time, he was leading all his disciples forward, when suddenly something strange happened in his hand, nine originally slender and tough pine needles turned into dust for no reason.

Qin Chuan couldn't help frowning.When the pine needles turned into powder, it meant that Cao Gongze had broken through the formation of vegetation!

Although it was known from the beginning that the formation of grass and trees would not be able to trap Cao Gongze, he did not expect him to break through the formation so quickly!

The cultivation base of the ninth floor during the Qi training period cannot be underestimated!
Qin Chuan's mood was a little heavy, but his posture was not heavy, but more light and fast, leading everyone forward: "Feiyunmen has broken the formation, and they will catch up soon. Everyone, speed up, the three-forked road ahead Exit, take the one on the left!"

Qin Chuan is familiar with maps.Go left at the three-way intersection ahead, and you will go straight to the cave of the monster "Golden Arm Blind Ape".

The golden-armed blind ape is a third-level monster, and its strength is still higher than that of the lightning owl.Not only is it difficult to deal with, but the road leading to its cave is a dead end.If the Feiyunmen cannot be killed on this road, the Yuhuamen will have nowhere to escape.

Although there are instructions for the detailed map of Jiuqu Huilong Cave as a trump card, this instruction is not a panacea.There are many places where every step needs to be done carefully in order to be able to successfully avoid danger.

Originally, according to the previous plan, the Golden Arm Blind Ape was abandoned here.

Because although there are heavy treasures hidden in the Golden-armed Blind Ape Cave, the detailed map only shows the method of avoiding the attack of the Golden-armed Blind Ape, but there is no record of how to kill it. With Yuhuamen's unilateral strength, it is impossible to get the treasure. Opportunity, giving up is a wise choice.

But now that Feiyunmen was chasing him, Qin Chuan formed a bold plan in his heart.As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get a tiger's cub, so you took some risks and took the treasure that you couldn't get in the cave!
The adventurous plan was decided by Qin Chuan on the spur of the moment, and no one else would know it.But now seeing the head order to rush to the path that he had originally decided to give up, everyone didn't raise any objections, and just followed Qin Chuan forward dully.

This reaction moved Qin Chuan greatly.Being able to entrust life and death without any worries, this represents everyone's true trust in me as the leader!
And as the head of the sect, what I should do most is to arrange every step, and never let everyone's trust down!
Qin Chuan took the lead, followed by the others. Just as they all set foot on the path on the left side of the three-way intersection, a loud shout came from next to their ears: "You are far behind the speed!"

It was Cao Gongze's roar!
In Qin Chuan's consciousness, he has already sensed a figure approaching like lightning.
