Mortal Bones

She actually never asked why Xu Taiping came to Bingying Cave.

"If everything goes well, a lot of people will die less in Xianhu Cave."

Xu Taiping nodded.

Because of Jiufu's instructions, no one could tell anyone except himself about this incident, so he could only reveal a little bit to Duan Xiaoyu.

"I see."

Hearing this, Duan Xiaoyu suddenly nodded solemnly.

"Brother Taiping, don't worry, I won't let anyone in."

As she spoke, she turned around, raised the knife, and stared at the entrance of the ice crystal cave without blinking.

…

Inside the cave.

After taking out a luminous bead used for lighting, the scene in the small cave suddenly appeared clearly in front of Xu Taiping.

Like other places in Bingying Cave, this cave is almost covered with ice crystals, and the cold is even a bit heavier than outside.

After scanning around with the light of the night pearl, Xu Taiping finally found what he was looking for - claw marks on the ice wall.

There are seven such claw marks in the entire cave.

But because each claw mark is very shallow and covered with frost, it is difficult to find it unless you deliberately look for it without knowing it in advance.

According to Huang Que, Xu Taiping must melt the ice wall in the area where these claw marks are located in order to be able to open the formation of Bingying Cave step by step.

This is also why Xu Taiping finds it troublesome.

"Three thousand gold coins are still too little."

Xu Taiping muttered something in a low voice and quickly walked to the first ice wall that was about to melt.

He put his hand against the ice, transformed the energy condensed in his palm into fire element, and condensed it into a flame.

Although this kind of flame transformed from true energy is not as good as real fire, its temperature is much higher than ordinary charcoal fire.

So as the flames in Xu Taiping's palm rose, the layer of ice on the surface of the ice wall melted almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But after the surface ice melted, a light blue rune brilliance suddenly appeared on the surface of the ice wall, and then the ice wall began to melt very slowly.

"really."

Xu Taiping frowned and retracted his palm.

Just like what Huangque said in the summons, these ice walls have been set up by Yuqing layman with runic restrictions, and real fire must be used to slowly melt them.

If you try to break it directly, the Formation Eye will self-destruct.

Xu Taiping looked around and after confirming that he was the only one in the cave, he suddenly raised his hand again.

Immediately, a little golden flame began to gather in his palm, and finally, at a speed visible to the naked eye, it turned into a red crow with golden flames rising all over its body.

In this situation, he could only rely on the Red Crow Golden Flame Technique.

The Scarlet Crow Golden Flame Technique did not disappoint him. Even if the ice surface was protected by restrictions, it still began to melt rapidly.

"According to Brother Huangque's inference, if you want to completely melt the ice walls in these seven places, even if you use the True Fire Talisman, it will take a stick of incense. Now I can use the Red Black Golden Flame Technique to save at least half a stick of incense."

He secretly deduced in his heart.

In fact, he also carried a true fire talisman, which could have melted the ice walls in these seven areas at the same time, but the problem was that the order in which the ice walls melted was also required, otherwise the formation would still self-destruct.

"With so many layers of restrictions, it seems that Master Yuqing has no intention of anyone being able to open this teleportation array."

He teased in his heart, stuffed a Qi-enhancing Pill into his mouth, and continued to activate the red-black golden fireworks to melt the ice wall.

"The time for half a stick of incense, with the delay of Ice Toad and Duan Xiaoyu, should be no problem, right?"

Xu Taiping looked worriedly outside the cave.

…

outside the cave.

"Gugu..."

Duan Xiaoyu was sitting cross-legged on an ice floe when his stomach suddenly growled.

Then she deftly took out a piece of dried meat from the ring, and continued to look up at the entrance of the ice cave while biting the dried meat with her teeth.

The side effect of eating that spiritual grass was that she would feel hungry anytime and anywhere, even if she had reached the Netherworld realm now, she would still be like this.

But when I thought about the roasted wild boar I had eaten before, the dry meat in my hands suddenly lost its taste.

"well……"

She sighed and stood up with the Suzaku knife.

"boom!"

At this moment, the sound of an explosion suddenly sounded at the entrance of the cave, followed by a shudder in the icy cave.

"Qingyu, you bastard, let me in too!"

An angry roar came from outside the cave.

However, as the stones at the entrance of the cave continued to fall, completely blocking the entrance passage of the Bingying Cave, the sound outside the cave disappeared.

Duan Xiaoyu, who was already alert, stuffed all the dried meat in his hand into his mouth, and at the same time flew out with his feet on the ice floe and hid in one of the small caves.

"You are indeed in there."

At this moment, a cold voice came from the direction of the cave entrance.

Then, Duan Xiaoyu used the fluorescence emitted by the ice crystals in the cave to see a huge water ball gathering into a human shape little by little at the entrance of the cave.

If not Qingyu from Yellow Maple Valley, who else could it be?

In fact, Duan Xiaoyu had heard of Qingyu’s name before coming to Xianhu Cave Heaven.

After all, Huang Maple Valley is the third-ranked sect among the nine sects. The new talented young people in its sect will naturally attract the attention of other sects.

The only thing that puzzled Duan Xiaoyu was why Qingyu wanted to follow Jiuyou and become a demon cultivator when he had such qualifications.

"Don't think that I can't find you if you hide in the cave."

Qingyu's voice sounded again.

His powerful aura wave swept through the entire Bingying Cave, and at the same time, lines of water began to fly out of his palms like spider threads, and then flew towards the dozens of small caves below the Bingying Cave at extremely fast speeds. go.

Although Duan Xiaoyu didn't know what the method was, she had a vague feeling that if the water lines were allowed to enter the small caves, traces of Xu Taiping would be discovered.

"Duan Xiaoyu, being a human being requires a thousand pieces of gold!"

Remembering his previous promise to Xu Taiping, Duan Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and flew out of the hole with the Suzaku knife in his hand.

"Whoa!" Almost at the moment Duan Xiaoyu flew out of the cave, Qingyu's long knife carrying the claw shadow transformed by the sword energy struck Duan Xiaoyu directly with one strike.

"Bang!" Although at the critical moment, Duan Xiaoyu blocked the knife with Suzaku, his body was hit by the impact of the Qingyu sword and fell into the ice pool.

"Boom!" But even if he fell into the ice pool, Qing Yu's knife was still with him. When the sword energy cut through the water, the blade slashed straight towards Duan Xiaoyu's chest.

But at this time, Duan Xiaoyu calmed down.
