Chapter 101 Searching

The horse galloped, and Lu Ye sat on the horse's back as steady as a stake.

He had never ridden a horse, but he had ridden a tiger. Amber's running was much bumpier than this, so the current situation had no effect on him at all.

After half a month of recuperation, his injuries were almost healed. Lu Ye had planned to say goodbye to Hua Ci today, but after the oolong incident last night, he didn't know how to explain to Hua Ci after she woke up, so he just left.

He was going to find Yiyi and Amber.

Half a month ago, he was chased by Dong Shuye, and he was able to escape safely in the end. Amber played an indispensable role. If it hadn't taken Lu Ye all the way, Lu Ye would have had no chance to cross the flat plain.

Amber was already injured when they separated. Lu Ye didn't know how injured it was, or even whether it was alive or dead, but no matter what, he had to go and confirm it in person.

Going upstream along the river, sitting on the horse's back, Lu Ye refined the elixir and practiced while urging his own spiritual power to nourish the small bell spirit.

One day later, he looked at the waterfall below, dismounted, and slapped the horse with his scabbard. The horse was frightened, started running, and soon disappeared.

Once in the mountains, the horses were useless and could only be released.

Below the waterfall was a huge pool of water. The rumbling water flowed into the pool, splashing waves. Lu Ye jumped from the top of the waterfall and fell into the pool. If he wanted to find the trace of amber, he had to go back to the top of the waterfall.

Just as he was looking around, he heard a splash. When he turned his head, he saw a man emerging from under the pool.

The man also saw Lu Ye and immediately showed a vigilant look.

In the Lingxi battlefield, most of the monks who didn't know each other had this reaction when they met, because no one knew which camp the other party belonged to. Under the premise of equal strength, neither side would easily reveal their camp.

Looking at the man, Lu Ye remembered that when he jumped into the pool, there was another person under the water, who seemed to be collecting something. However, the man was unlucky and was cut into several pieces by Dong Shuye's golden arcs, which also allowed Lu Ye to escape.

I came here today and saw another person.

It seems that there are indeed useful things for cultivators under the water, otherwise there is no reason for so many people to come here.

The man slowly came ashore and kept staring at Lu Ye.

Lu Ye didn't care much about the other party's third-level cultivation.

He looked at the top of the waterfall again and said, "Brother, if I want to go up, which way should I go?" There were cliffs on both sides of the waterfall, and it seemed that there was no place to climb.

The man looked at Lu Ye deeply for a while and pointed in a direction: "Ten miles away, there is a place to go up the mountain."

Lu Ye nodded: "Thank you!" Then he walked in the direction pointed by the man.

They passed each other, and the man's expression was tense until Lu Ye's figure disappeared from his sight, and then he slowly relaxed.

After half a day, Lu Ye returned to the top of the waterfall.

He returned in the direction he came from and explored all the way.

The magic from Dong Shuye, a seventh-level cultivator, was extremely powerful, so there were traces of the chase left along the way.

After a while, Lu Ye squatted in front of a pit, which was a pit blown out by a big fireball, and the trees around it had been burned to ashes.

It was here that he separated from Amber.

He recalled the scene at that time and slowly walked to a place more than ten feet away.

There were no corpses, which made Lu Ye feel relieved. It seemed that Amber was not dead.

There were large patches of dried blood on the ground, and the blood extended in one direction, and that direction actually pointed to the location of the waterfall.

Lu Ye felt heavy-hearted, as if he had seen the scene at that time.

At that time, he was thrown off the tiger's back by Dong Shuye's magic, and Amber also fainted.

He fled without checking Amber's injuries, because in his opinion, Dong Shuye came to find him specifically, and he would die if he stayed with Amber. If he fled separately, Amber would have a chance to survive.

But after waking up, Amber actually followed the traces on the road again, obviously wanting to find him.

Following the faint bloodstains on the ground, he came to the waterfall...

There was a large pool of black blood on the ground, and Amber obviously stayed here for a while.

Although he caught a glimpse of the blood when he came here just now, he thought it was his own blood and didn't pay much attention to it. Now he knew that it was Amber's blood.

Lu Ye continued to follow the bloodstains forward. He had no experience in this area. Fortunately, he has become a monk now, and his eyesight and insight are much better than ordinary people, so he can barely continue.

In the evening, Lu Ye followed the intermittent clues to a cave, where the last bloodstains disappeared.

With a nervous mood, he called out to the inside: "Yiyi, Amber!"

"Roar!" A beast roared, and a bloody wind came over. A black panther rushed out from it. Lu Ye drew his long sword, and the sword flashed. The black panther's head flew up, and its strong body fell to the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Lu Ye's face was ugly. He was obviously following the clues to come here, but there was no trace of Amber and Yiyi here. Instead, a black panther appeared...

This gave him a bad feeling.

If Amber didn't come here by herself, then it was possible that she was dragged here by other beasts.

He put away his long sword and stepped into the cave. The spiritual power gathered in his eyes. At a glance, he saw a pile of bones at the bottom of the cave, which made his already bad feeling even worse.

Walked forward with heavy steps, squatted in front of the bones and carefully examined them.

After a moment, Lu Ye breathed a sigh of relief. This was not Amber's body. Amber's skull was bigger.

It was getting dark at this moment, and it was impossible to continue the investigation. Lu Ye could only rest here for one night.

Now it was certain that Amber was not dead at that time, and had been to this cave. The bloodstains spilled along the way were the best proof.

But it should have left soon. As for where it went, we can only wait until tomorrow to investigate carefully.

After nightfall, Lu Ye ate and drank enough and continued to practice. His spiritual orifices had been opened to thirty-six orifices. He had been busy during the day and had no energy to attack the barrier of the thirty-seventh orifice. He could only wait until night.

Now it was much easier for him to open his orifices than when he first practiced, because there was enough spiritual power in his body to squander, and his spiritual power was very pure, which had a natural advantage for opening his orifices and could improve the efficiency of opening his orifices.

In just one stick of incense, the barrier of the thirty-seventh orifice was broken, and the gurgling spiritual power flowed into it...

The next thing was simple. He only needed to continue to refine the spiritual pill and use the spiritual pattern of gathering spirits to fill the spiritual power of this spiritual orifice, and then he could continue to attack the next spiritual orifice.

The Taotie meal can refine and absorb the pill power by itself when it is running, and the spiritual pattern of gathering spirits also does not require him to be distracted, so Lu Ye took out the small bell spiritual instrument and continued to stimulate his own spiritual power to nourish it.
