Chapter 246 Ying Jiao
In the mine, Lu Ye received a message from Hao Ren: "Brother Yiye, it's time to withdraw!"
The surviving monks of the Qingtian Sect were alerted, and the news must have been sent back to the station. This place is only thirty miles away from the Qingtian Sect's station. If they don't leave, it will be difficult for them to leave once the Qingtian Sect sends people to support them.
Lu Ye also knew that this place was not suitable for staying for a long time, so he did not want to fight. Under the leadership of Yiyi, he walked out of a cave entrance.
The exits of this mineral vein extend in all directions and are everywhere, mainly to facilitate escape. Mining in the Lingxi battlefield is not safe. If there are few entrances and exits, it is easy to be blocked, so basically every sect's mineral vein has many entrances and exits.
This was convenient for Lu Ye, as he didn't have to go back the same way.
After rushing out of the mine, a sound similar to the chirping of a bird was heard not far away. Lu Ye grabbed the amber and threw it on the ground, letting it return to its original shape, then he climbed on the tiger's back and rushed over there.
After a moment, they reunited with Hao Ren and his sister and fled frantically.
Several people thought that they would be hunted down if they stirred up a hornet's nest this time. Lu Ye had already planned that if there were not many people coming, he would fight back with the Hao Ren brothers and sisters. If there were a lot of people, they would separate from the Hao Ren brothers and sisters. He Use the flying wings to continue escaping and attract the enemy's attention.
The speed of flying wings is very fast, and ordinary ninth-level imperial weapons cannot keep up with it.
But after running away for a while, there was no movement at all behind them, which surprised everyone.
An hour later, the three men and one tiger who were walking in a hurry stopped on a hillside. There were no pursuers coming, so there was no need to run away.
Hao Ren said: "Brother Yiye, we seem to have made a mistake."
"What?"
"People from the Qingtian Sect probably won't come after us." He had just communicated with Luo Fu for a while, and this judgment was made by Luo Fu.
"how to say?"
"Look... we first killed three others in the ninth level, and then entered their mines. From the Qingtian Sect's point of view, a large number of monks must have come to harm them, otherwise they would have no reason to die. So many people were killed, and the three ninth-level realms didn't even have time to send back any news before they died. With such concerns, and the dark and windy night at this time, how could they dare to send out manpower rashly? In the main camp."
When Lu Ye heard this, he realized that things might be exactly what Hao Ren said.
Only they know what is going on here. Qingtian Sect does not know. Three of the nine-level guards guarding the mine have died. The mine has been captured. There will definitely be suspicion on the side of Qingtian Sect. In addition, the sky is dark at the moment. They I really don’t dare to attack rashly.
"Brother, have you become smarter?" Hao Qing looked at Hao Ren in surprise.
Hao Ren glared at him, but he would not tell her that this was what Senior Brother Luo Fu said.
"But we can't take it lightly. After dawn, the Qingtian Sect will definitely send people to investigate the mines. By then, we will probably be able to figure out the truth."
I don’t know how they will feel when the Qingtian Sect finds out that the people who raided the mines are not a group of people at all, but only a few people.
On the flying spiritual weapon that looked like a big ship, Luo Fu, who was leading the team, finished his communication with Hao Ren, with an incomprehensible expression...
The Qingtian Sect didn't send anyone to chase him out. What the heck, he pulled out all the people in the sect. He couldn't take everyone to see the night view and then run back? I was so worried for a while.
After burning the incense, Lu Ye rode Hu Huo, led by the Hao Ren brothers and sisters, to a lake.
The night wind blew by, the lake water rippled, and even the air seemed to be much clearer.
Now that they were sure that no one from the Qingtian Sect was chasing after them, several people felt relaxed. When they killed those Qingtian Sect monks in the mine tunnel, Hao Qing had a lot of blood on his body, which was sticky. The main reason for coming here was Want to clean it up.
Lu Ye didn't care.
Hao Ren lit up the bonfire, took out a large piece of animal meat from the storage bag and roasted it on the fire. Judging from his technique, it was obvious that he was proficient in this art.
Lu Ye raised his eyes and looked not far away. Over there, Hao Qing was standing by the water, muttering something unknown, and then suddenly threw a large piece of something into the lake. It hit the ground with a loud sound and splashed water.
Seemingly sensing Lu Ye's confusion, Hao Ren explained: "It is said that there is a dragon in this lake that likes to eat blood. However, it usually does not hurt people, so monks who come here to get water or rest only need to throw it into the lake. Some blood food will do."
"Ying Jiao?"
"I haven't seen it either. It should be a very long snake."
Lu Ye and Amber thought of the delicate, white and tender snake meat at the same time, and felt a little hungry.
Hao Ren chuckled and said: "There are legends from all over the Lingxi battlefield. Who knows whether they are true or false. Anyway, as far as I know, no one seems to have seen that Yingjiao. It is probably just a rumor."
After a while, Hao Qing came back clean and with wet hair. The animal meat here was also roasted and shared among several people.
After being busy for most of the night and having fought another battle before, they were a little tired. Brother Lu Ye and Hao Ren meditated and rested, while Yiyi was responsible for guarding the surroundings.
During the practice, Lu Ye checked the status of his spiritual apertures. He had already opened the one hundred and thirty-fifth aperture more than half a month ago. Now he only needs to open one more aperture to reach the one hundred and forty-fourth aperture. At that time, It is the cultivation of the eighth level.
Having a high level of cultivation is not always a good thing. For example, if he kills Yuan Guang, he will get twenty-seven points of merit, but if he kills Yuan Guang at the eighth level, he will only get eighteen points.
This was one of the reasons why he came to the inner circle before he could advance to the eighth level. His cultivation level at the seventh level was a bit low, but he could get a lot of merit by killing enemies beyond the level.
Lu Ye took out the storage bag he had collected before and opened it.
You can't carry too many storage bags. Thanks to Madam Yun's teaching, his lock-picking skills are improving day by day, so it doesn't take too much time to open a storage bag.
While he was busy, Amber, who had shrunk in size, jumped onto his legs and nudged his stomach with her head.
Usually, Amber was like this for only one thing.
Lu Ye understood and took out the scales. Amber leaned over and took a deep breath. A visible blood line was swallowed by Amber.
As expected, Amber fell hard... The whole body was glowing with a faint red light, which was in harmony with its own golden demonic aura.
Since getting this scale from the Dragon Spring of Baifeng Mountain, Amber would take a breath from time to time. Lu Ye would always place it in the gathering spirit formation when practicing. However, after so much time, the blood in the scales has not decreased much.
It can be seen that the blood and qi contained in it are rich.
Second Senior Sister Shui Yuan had studied this scale before, but didn't recognize what it was. She only guessed that there must be some secret hidden under the Dragon Spring.
Lu Ye planned to wait until his cultivation was strong enough before going to Longquan to have a look. He remembered that when he was tempering his body in Longquan, two huge blood-red pupils suddenly appeared in his mind.
Putting away the scales, Lu Ye continued to open the lock of the storage bag.
On the lake, a layer of ripples appeared out of thin air, and then layer after layer of ripples spread outward silently. In a short time, the ripples became dense and countless. After a while, a unicorn poked out of the water, and a black shadow passed through the water, as if some huge monster swam by.
"Lu Ye!"
Yiyi, who was on alert, called softly.
Lu Ye heard that her voice was wrong, and hurriedly looked up and looked around. At a glance, he met two green eyes with upright pupils in them. Each pupil was the size of a basin, which was very conspicuous even in the dark night.
When he met those eyes, Lu Ye immediately felt a huge sense of fear and crisis in his heart...
Looking intently, he could vaguely see the owner of those eyes. It was a huge snake head with a fleshy horn on it. It was covered with dense snake scales. There were two bulges on the left and right of its abdomen, as if something was about to grow out of it.
It was hard to see how long it was because most of its body was under the water, but its body was at least as thick as a large water tank.
When their eyes met, Lu Ye did not dare to move for a while. He could feel that the thing in front of him was probably at the same level as the little gray in his own base. They had reached the limit of what the Lingxi battlefield could accommodate. Even if strong men like Feng Yuechan and Li Baxian came to fight alone, they could not beat them.
Fortunately, the big snake did not attack immediately after it appeared. The huge eyes just stared at Lu Ye.
Lu Ye did not know why it was staring at him.
"Brother Hao, Brother Hao!"
Lu Ye called softly.
Hao Ren didn't know what happened yet, and when he heard the shout, he responded, "What's wrong?"
"You said before, there is something in this lake?"
"Ying... Jiao!" Hao Ren suddenly shouted in fear, because he also saw the huge eyes, and Hao Qing beside him was startled.
He reacted quickly, quickly holding down Hao Qing who was about to jump up, and then Hao Qing kept a strange posture of kneeling on one knee and bending his body.
Cold sweat slowly flowed down the foreheads of several people, and the atmosphere became solemn.
No one dared to move, because they all realized that Ying Jiao was not easy to mess with. If any inappropriate behavior angered the other party, they might not see the sun tomorrow.
"Brother Hao, don't you say that this thing is a rumor?"
Hao Ren had just mentioned to him that there was a Ying Jiao in this lake, and now he saw it. Lu Ye didn't know whether to feel honored or unlucky.
Hao Ren's voice was trembling: "I haven't seen it either. My little sister and I have been here several times, and it has never appeared."
"Think of a way. Why is it always staring at me?"
"Well, think of a way." Hao Ren took a few deep breaths to calm his panic. "Yes, it likes blood. Everyone, don't move. I'll get something for it to eat. It may be hungry."
Hao Ren slowly stood up after saying this.
At the same time, Lu Ye's attention was focused to the limit, just waiting for the Ying Jiao to have any abnormality, and then he would fly up into the sky immediately.
When he saw the Ying Jiao, he didn't run away immediately because he was afraid of angering the other party. At that time, Hao Ren and his sister would not have a good end.
But if the Ying Jiao really had any ill intentions towards them, he would have no choice but to fly into the sky and escape.
