The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

"Silly boy, you are still thinking about the spirit stone at this time. You don't want your life anymore." Zhu Que slapped Matthew on the forehead and scolded him.

"Forget it, forget it, don't want it." After being slapped by Zhu Que, Matthew also said.

Zhu Que led Matthew to a strange tent.

After arriving here, Matthew saw more than a dozen people sitting inside.

Except for the old man surnamed He and Cui'er, he didn't know any of the others.

Zhu Que didn't mean to introduce them to Matthew one by one, but simply told Matthew about the situation in the mine vein.

"Ma boy, how strong are the two golden mantises you mentioned?" The old man surnamed He asked.

In everyone's cognition, the golden mantises should be able to compete with the Jindan cultivators. If there are really adult golden mantises in it, it would be like sending them to death.

"Both are juveniles, at most the strength of the peak of the first-level monster." Matthew knew what the old man surnamed He was worried about, and said quickly.

"That's good. You are smart enough to escape from the two golden-armored mantises without any damage." After listening to Matthew's explanation, an old man with white hair and red face nodded and said.

"This is the old ghost Chi Yuan from Yuqi Peak. He is an old friend of your master." Seeing the red-faced old man speaking, the old man surnamed He explained to Matthew casually.

Matthew immediately bowed and paid homage after hearing this.

"Time is tight. Wait for another half an hour. If others don't come, don't wait." Zhu Que frowned after scanning the number of people in the tent.

In the following time, Zhu Que asked Matthew to tell him in detail all the things he encountered after entering the mine.

After Matthew finished speaking, everyone in the tent frowned.

"Judging from what Ma said, the Blood Cloud Sect has found a passage to enter the mine, and has also released a large number of demon insects to clean up the monks inside. We must be extremely careful when we go in later." The old man surnamed He spoke first.

"But this kid said that many demon insects have died. Is this our chance?" A middle-aged man in a green robe said.

"It's hard to say. There are many forks in the mine and the veins are intertwined. The large demon insects of the Blood Cloud Sect will definitely not be able to enter. I just don't know what their back-up plan is." Zhu Que shook his head and said.

"Ma kid, have you seen my apprentice in there?" The old man named Chi Yuan suddenly asked.

"Who is your apprentice?" Ma Xiu asked with some doubts.

"Weng Chengan."

"Dead."

If Chi Yuan asked someone else, Ma Xiu might not know. Since it was Weng Chengan, he could be 100% sure that he was dead.

In fact, when Ma Xiu said that most of the monks inside were dead, Chi Yuan had already guessed it.

He just wanted to confirm it again.

"My apprentice Weng Chengan, although he is a little arrogant by nature, is indeed talented enough in refining equipment. It's a pity that he has to enter the mine." After getting a positive answer from Ma Xiu, Chi Yuan sighed deeply and said to himself.

"It's a good thing you came out early, or you would have stayed inside." The old man surnamed He glanced at Cui'er standing behind him and scolded.

"I know I was wrong." Cui'er shrank her neck and shouted.

Half an hour passed quickly.

Seeing that no one came again, Zhu Que asked everyone to leave the tent and go to the mine.

When in the tent, Matthew had already asked what the consequences would be for not obeying the orders of Grandmaster Yun.

The answers he got were all indifferent, and now few people would really listen to orders.

Since the Nine Star Sect betrayed the enemy, everyone was in danger, and everyone was thinking about how to survive this disaster.

The tasks assigned by the sect were mostly perfunctory.

Not only did Zhu Que and his people ignore the orders of the sect, but even those Jindan cultivators did the same.

After the group entered the secret passage, Matthew led the way in front.

After all, he had just come out from inside and was more familiar with the place.

Although he was a little reluctant, Matthew had to do it.

Every time they reach a marked point, everyone will stop.

The old man surnamed He checked the talisman buried by Matthew.

After confirming that it was correct, the group continued to set off.

After passing a fork in the road, Matthew was stopped.

"You go to the back, I will lead the next route." The middle-aged man in green robe said and walked to the front.

Matthew was a little confused. This road did not lead to the next marked point.

Seeing that everyone else looked normal, Matthew did not ask too much and walked to the back obediently.

"Brother Ma, is the golden mantis really that powerful?" Cui'er, who was walking behind, immediately asked in a low voice after seeing Matthew coming.

"It's powerful. Brother Weng's head was cut off in one blow." Matthew nodded.

"Don't worry, the road we are taking now has been prepared long ago. It is in two directions from what you took before, so you won't encounter the golden mantis." Cui'er comforted.

What Matthew didn't understand was that since this road was so important, why did he have to go somewhere else to place the talisman.

"How are we going to leave here? Are we going to go directly through the mine?" Matthew asked in a low voice.

"I don't know about this either. The master never told me about this." Cui'er shook her head and said.

Matthew and Cui'er are the two with the lowest cultivation here, so they are the only ones who can talk.

After experiencing some things, Cui'er's temperament has changed a lot.

Much calmer than before, and not as erratic as before.

Every time they walked a distance, everyone would stop, and then the old man surnamed He would bury a talisman in the rock wall.

Now, Matthew finally understood a little.

Everything he did before might be used to attract attention, because from the technique, the old man surnamed He was obviously much better than Matthew.

From the outside, there was no trace of the talisman buried by the old man surnamed He.

"These old guys are really careful. They actually made two roads, one real and one fake." Matthew muttered in his heart.

If someone found that they had escaped into the mine, the first thing to be found during the investigation would definitely be the talisman buried by Matthew.

Then if they followed the talisman route set by Matthew to search, they would be led to a dead end.

Just as Matthew was sighing at the wisdom of these old guys, he saw the green-robed monk walking in front suddenly raised his arm.

This is the signal to stop. This person will do this every time he reaches a place where he needs to bury the talisman.

"Everyone, be alert. There is something going on ahead!" The green-robed monk said softly, then took out a white flying knife and held it in his hand.

At the same time, everyone took out their magic weapons and became alert.

Matthew not only took out the flaming sword and the black tortoise shield, but also pasted a few talismans on his body.
