Chapter 89 Encounter(1/2)
The long cry heard by the cloaked warrior was made by the four-phase bird.
This bird looks like a peacock, with colorful and beautiful feathers. It has three long tail quills with different colors.
Sitting cross-legged on the bird's back is a woman in purple with a veil covering her face. She is the senior sister of the Dingyang Sect of the Xi Kingdom.
Zhang Xin, his wife and Zhang Sen sat cross-legged on the back of a crane.
Zhang Xin pointed to the mountainside to the south, turned his head and said, "Master Mu, the entrance to the grotto is right in front."
The woman in purple didn't respond, just closed her eyes, and a faint blood glowed from Yintang acupoint.
When the four-phase bird and the spiritual crane flew closer, the purple-clothed woman's eyebrows flashed with blood, she opened her eyes and said: "There is no one around within five miles, so go directly into the grotto."
Zhang Sen put his hands on his hands and smiled: "Okay! As expected, we are one step ahead, and we will return from this trip with a full load!"
Zhang Xin solemnly said: "Don't be careless. The entrance is quite far from the mausoleum. Jiang Feng may have entered the grotto."
The cloaked warrior lurking diagonally opposite watched them put away their mounts and walked into the grotto.
It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that the cloaked warrior took out the jade talisman and penetrated it with his true power.
…
The cave passage of the grotto winds downwards, is uneven, and varies in height and width. Four people can walk side by side in the wide part, but only one person can squeeze through sideways in the narrow part.
The four of them, Gu Xuan, slowly moved forward along the cave passage. The surroundings were dark, and they couldn't see their fingers. It was so quiet that it made people feel panicked.
They all wore rough helmets with luminous beads embedded into the tops of their helmets.
Jiang Feng absorbed the experience of treasure hunting last time and specially made it by a craftsman.
After traveling about ten feet, three cave entrances appeared ahead.
Jiang Feng, who was leading the way, paused briefly and walked into the entrance of the cave in the middle.
Gu Xuan followed Jiang Feng and asked softly: "Master Jiang, are there many branching caves ahead?"
Jiang Feng kept walking and responded quickly: "There are too many to count."
Gu Xuan's expression changed: "Zhang Xin and his wife want to monopolize the treasure, and there is no lucky rat to lead the way. I think they will leave marks along the way."
Jiang Feng showed a wry smile: "When I entered and exited the grotto, I took the lead. If Zhang Xin and his wife had had different intentions early on, it would have been easy for them to leave a mark secretly."
Nangong Shang, who was postponed, said: "The matter is now at this point. Whether we can seize the treasures of the mausoleum depends on God's will."
Arriving at the second branch of the cave entrance, Jiang Feng suddenly stopped, observed carefully with his mind, and affirmed: "No marks were found here."
Di Hong followed Gu Xuan closely: "Junior Brother Jiang, the first few forks are easy to remember, so you don't have to look at them."
"What Senior Sister Di said makes sense." Jiang Feng raised his sleeves and touched the Lucky Rat's head, "If you sense a crisis, sound the alarm immediately."
They continued to move forward, as if they were moving through the body of a giant python, and the silence around them felt oppressive.
Every time he reached a branching cave entrance, Jiang Feng would stop and observe, but he could never find the mark.
…
Zhang Xin and his wife both have advanced levels of true power, and the woman in purple has developed telekinesis.
All three of them can see at night without the need for external lighting, but Zhang Sen only has a cultivation level in the middle stage of True Power Realm.
Then, Zhang Xin, the leader, held up a torch, and the bright yellow flames illuminated four tall figures.
Arriving at the third bifurcated cave entrance, Zhang Xin suddenly stopped, handed the torch to Zhang Sen behind him, and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms.
Zhang Sen took the torch, looked at the small porcelain vase sideways, and asked curiously: "Father, what is this?"
"When you left the grotto, your adoptive mother sprinkled a kind of medicinal powder at the entrance of each forked cave. You need a special potion to smell it."
While talking, Zhang Xin uncorked the bottle, poured out a drop of light green liquid, and applied it to the tip of his nose a few times.
Zhang Sen praised: "This method is very wonderful. If you leave a mark, it may be discovered by others."
Liu Jing smiled and said: "There is no wind in the cave here. Within three months, the stepmother's nail powder will not evaporate."
Zhang Xin sniffed it for a few times, put away the porcelain bottle, took the torch, and walked into the south entrance of the cave.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Xuan and others came to a large cave.
This cave is more than ten feet high, and the ground is several times larger than the courtyard of Shuxiangyuan.
"Squeak!"
As soon as they jumped to the ground, the Lucky Rat made a warning sound.
Jiang Feng's expression changed, and he quickly raised his sleeves, and saw the Lucky Rat's purple pupils flashing with a faint blood light.
Seeing this, Gu Xuan and others didn't care to look at the cave and came over one after another.
Jiang Feng used his telekinesis and looked into the purple eyes of the Lucky Rat. He suddenly looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "There is a danger approaching here!"
When Nangong Shang heard this, he said without hesitation: "It's probably Zhang Xin and the others. Others won't be such a coincidence."
Gu Xuan didn't respond. He swayed and teleported along the cave wall.
It wasn't until he patrolled and observed that Gu Xuan teleported to the original place: "There are six cave entrances here. Can the Lucky Rat sense the source of the crisis?"
The blood light in the Lucky Rat's pupils has disappeared. Jiang Feng said: "The crisis and the origin are in the same direction. The Lucky Rat cannot sense the specific crisis."
Nangong Shang thought: "Zhang Xin and others obviously entered the grotto late."
Di Hong fluttered her long eyelashes and raised her voice: "Whether the other party enters the grotto or returns with the treasure, we must put an end to them. A big battle is inevitable."
"That's very true." Gu Xuan's face glowed, "This cave is suitable for a battlefield, let's just relax and wait for work."
Di Hong took off his helmet: "Do you want to take off the Night Pearl?"
Nangong Shang said: "We are going to fight together. Except for Mr. Jiang, the three of us need Ye Mingzhu to help us, so why not cover Ye Mingzhu."
"This is feasible." Gu Xuan looked around the walls, "Let's go and lurk separately on the wall. As soon as the other party appears, Master Jiang will give the signal."
The four people stood up and stood at the convex corner of the stone wall. They took off their helmets and covered the night pearls with their hands, ready to go.
…
A dozen feet away from the huge cave, a golden sun dog walked slowly forward in the cave.
This dog is as big as a tiger and leopard, with golden hair, a black-gold horn, a fierce gaze, and hook-like fangs.
After sniffing a few times with his nostrils, he smelled the scent of Gu Xuan and others, and the eyes of the Golden Yang Dog suddenly shot out with murderous intent.
"Ouch!"
With a soft bark, the Golden Sun Dog moved its limbs together and suddenly ran quickly, with a faint golden light flickering on its body.
The distance of more than ten feet was reached in an instant. The Golden Sun Dog opened its mouth and spat out, and a golden ball of light as big as the mouth of a bowl shot out.
There was no need for Jiang Feng to make a sound, the golden ball of light flew very fast and flew directly into the large cave.
The next moment, the golden ball of light stopped in the air and spun rapidly, emitting streams of golden light that shot out in all directions.
"Flash!"
Jiang Feng's expression changed slightly, he shouted loudly, he quickly retracted his mind power, circulated his true energy, and flipped sideways.
The "Soaring Waves Controlling the Body Technique" he practiced, once used, can move in the air like a dragon.
Gu Xuan was the first to react, quickly put on his helmet, swayed slightly, and teleported towards the top wall of the cave.
Nangong Shang and Di Hong's reaction was not slow either, and they each ground vertically.
The golden ball of light became smaller and smaller as it swirled, and its rays of light were densely packed, sinking into the stone wall one after another, creating holes one after another.
…
The woman in purple walks at the end
, The body is slim and graceful, and the steps are light, like a civet cat, without a trace of croaking sound.
She rarely made a sound, and a faint blood light flickered between her eyebrows from time to time, as if she was sensing the movement around her.
When the Golden Sun Dog ran towards the big cave, the blood between her eyebrows suddenly brightened a little.
"stop!"
The woman in purple stopped immediately, closed her eyes while speaking, and the blood between her eyebrows began to flicker.
Others stopped one after another, and Liu Jing turned around and asked: "Master Mu, what's going on?"
The woman in purple opened her eyes and said: "There seems to be monks fighting in front, and there are also the smells of demons and gangli."
When Liu Jing heard this, his expression changed slightly: "Gangli!"
Zhang Sen said flatteringly: "Even if we are monks in the early stage of the Gangli Realm, what should we be afraid of when our senior sister is here?"
Zhang Xin's voice was deep: "There is a fight here and now, and one of the parties is probably Jiang Feng and others."
"It's useless to talk too much. Move forward quickly and you will know it at a glance."
As soon as the purple-clothed woman activated her true energy, her body surface suddenly filled with true energy, like a puff of white smoke, quickly drifting past Liu Jing and others.
Zhang Sen raised his voice and said: "What the senior sister said is true, adoptive father, hurry up and follow."
