Mortal Seeking Immortal

"All contestants are not allowed to fight with other contestants within half an hour after entering the cave. After half an hour, everyone can show their magical powers!"

"Disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall have been arranged in the cave to monitor. If you violate the rules, you will not only lose the qualification to compete, but also be severely punished by the Law Enforcement Hall!"

"Go!"

The accompanying outer disciples jumped off the Wutong ruler and swarmed in.

In order to find the jade beads marked on the map that can be exchanged for Huangyundan first, most of the contestants squeezed into the cave as soon as possible. Among them, Zhao Xu ran the fastest.

Ye Zhou did not compete with these people, but lined up at the end of the team very low-key and took out the map to examine it carefully.

He found that the terrain in the competition cave was complex and the space was huge. In fact, it didn't make much difference whether you went in earlier or later.

As for the jade beads marked on the map, Ye Zhou didn't plan to compete with others now.

The person who got the jade beads first would definitely be attacked crazily by other contestants. Calculation is not necessarily a good thing.

The most important thing is that the cave is full of ghosts and there may be other dangers. It is naturally safest for them to explore the way first.

After the other servants had almost entered, Ye Zhou entered the cave calmly.

He was now at the entrance of the cave, which was similar to an empty hall. There were a lot of mummies piled up against the wall of the hall. The smell of rotting corpses came from here.

Further ahead, the area of ​​the cave suddenly shrank, and three roads were divided into three paths that could only accommodate one person. Every servant who came in would choose to enter one of the roads.

Ye Zhou did not directly choose where to go, but quietly stopped and observed, and began to think in his head.

According to the map, the terrain of these three roads is tortuous and complex, most of the roads are connected, and only a few roads are dead ends.

Most of the servants who came in chose to enter the two roads on the right and in the middle. The main reason should be that there are the most jade beads placed on these two roads.

After most people chose the passage, Ye Zhou chose the leftmost road.

The leftmost path has the least jade beads, and the placement is farther away, so there are fewer competitors.

Most of the contestants now form gangs. Zhao Xu contacted several younger brothers who were in the second level of Qi training before entering the cave. There are only a few people like Ye Zhou who fight alone. He doesn't need to fight against many people at the beginning of the competition for a few jade beads.

Ye Zhou's primary goal is to grab more tokens and pass the assessment to become an outer disciple.

Of course, it would be good if he could exchange a few jade beads for Huangyun Dan. If he can't get them, he won't force it.

There are only thirty jade beads and only ten places for outer disciples, but there are more than a hundred contestants!

As time goes by, these temporary gangs will fall apart because of interests.

At that time, it will be the best time for Ye Zhou to take action!

Outside the cave, after all the servants had entered the cave, Manager Zhang said coldly: "One day later, if less than half of the people are eliminated, activate the soul-calling formation to release hundreds of ghosts into the cave."

"Yes, sir." More than a dozen outer sect deacons respectfully saluted Manager Zhang and sneaked into the cave.

The entrance to the cave was very narrow at first, only allowing one person to pass through, but the deeper you go into the cave, the wider the passage becomes.

Along the way, Ye Zhou met several servants, who were all alert when they saw him and quickly distanced themselves from him.

Although Ye Zhou's exposed cultivation level was the second level of Qi training.

But from his conversation with Zhao Xu, it can be learned that Ye Zhou has the magic weapon Tie Qingzi, and his real combat power is no weaker than the contestants of the third level of Qi training, so it is better to avoid provoking him.

As Ye Zhou hurried on his way, the half-hour safety period had passed.

Ye Zhou tried his best to conceal his breath and became more cautious.

From time to time, the sound of fighting could be heard faintly in the cave. When Ye Zhou passed by, he even found several corpses of menial disciples. Some of them were charred and died from the fire bomb technique, some were frozen into ice sculptures by the cold force and died from the ice spike technique, and some had black skin and died from the poison.

Just as Ye Zhou walked carefully towards a cave entrance, a sharp whistle suddenly came from his ears.

Whoosh!

A sharp ice cone came out from Ye Zhou's blind spot and pierced directly into Ye Zhou's dantian.

"Hmph, you dare to come to participate in the competition with just the second level of Qi training. Hand over the Tieqingzi you snatched from that Zhao, and I will spare your life!" A deep voice came.

Ye Zhou was very vigilant along the way. He had expected that he might be attacked. After sensing the danger, he reacted very quickly. He slightly leaned back and easily avoided the attack of the ice cone.

The attacker was slightly stunned. He did not expect Ye Zhou to react so quickly. Then he released three more ice cones, aiming at Ye Zhou's dantian and chest.

Ye Zhou pushed his hand, and a wall of earth condensed instantly. The three ice cones were all blocked by the wall.

Suddenly, he sensed a strong killing intent behind him.

Without thinking, Ye Zhou swung his right hand behind him, and three fireballs of the Great Perfection Realm instantly illuminated the cave transparently, and shot rapidly towards the place where the sound came from.

There was a violent explosion with a "bang", and a scream came from behind Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou turned around and saw a servant being hit by his fireball. His whole body was burnt black by the fireball, and blood was constantly flowing out. He was no longer alive!

Beside him, a floating walnut-sized fireball suddenly dissipated.

This person was originally planning to attack Ye Zhou from behind, but he never expected that Ye Zhou seemed to have eyes on his back. Before his fire bomb technique was successfully condensed, Ye Zhou's fire bomb technique had already flown out first!

Ye Zhou was scared.

"It's just as Mr. Shu said, when cultivators fight, life and death are only a matter of seconds!"

If he hadn't been alert just now, even if he sensed the danger, he probably wouldn't have had time to dodge the ice spike technique, and now he has become an ice sculpture corpse!

"Fortunately, after taking the Jade Branch Fruit, my soul has been greatly enhanced, and my perception ability in all aspects is much more acute than that of other cultivators in the Qi Refining Period!"

This attacker should be in the same group as the one who attacked him with the ice cone in front. The two of them cooperated with each other, one of them intercepted the passing people in front to attract attention, and the other took the opportunity to attack from behind.

After seeing his companions being killed by Ye Zhou's three fire bombs, the attacker in front had already hidden his figure and disappeared without a trace, probably running for his life.

Ye Zhou bent down and searched the storage bag on the corpse, and obtained more than a dozen low-grade spirit stones, a token, and a cloth-like medium-grade Qi training magic weapon.

Ye Zhou injected a little spiritual power into the cloth, and the cloth instantly merged with the surrounding environment.

Ye Zhou suddenly realized.

"I said that I didn't find anyone hiding here when I first came here. It turns out that a camouflage magic weapon was used!"

This piece of cloth has a very good camouflage effect. If you don't use your spiritual sense to carefully perceive it, you won't be able to detect any abnormalities. It is simply a magic weapon used for sneak attacks or escape.

However, this magic weapon has the soul imprint of others. It should be a magic weapon borrowed by this person from other outer disciples.

Although it does not affect Ye Zhou's use, if he encounters the real owner, it will be forcibly taken back. He can only wait to find a safe place to refine it, and then put his own soul imprint on it before he can use it boldly!
