Chapter 171 Peeping

Yuan Ming turned back to the cave, closed his eyes, and sensed the situation of the two soul crows in the distance, with a look of surprise on his face.

In the ancient castle where Bai Rong was, there were now four figures, three men and one woman.

Yuan Ming vaguely remembered that these four people were all members of this mission, but they chose to leave the team at the entrance of Ghost Crying Gorge. Unexpectedly, they appeared again now.

It seems that these four people are in the same group with Bai Rong, and they have other intentions to participate in the mission organized by the Bai Ye San Meng. The mark left by this woman before may be to guide these people.

"Sang Yan, are you sure this is the place?" asked a gray-robed man among the four.

"Report to Elder Gu Tu, I followed the description of the fragment and walked twenty miles west from the Snake King Cave. I found this place after searching for a while." Bai Rong said respectfully.

...

"Sang Yan! This Bai Rong is Sang Yan!" Yuan Ming's body shook slightly when he heard the conversation between the two.

The Third Cave Master had told him about Sang Yan, and the condition for helping him refine the Green Fish Sword was to take the spiritual material White Flame Refined Gold from Sang Yan in Bailu Hill. He didn't expect to meet him here by chance.

"The Third Cave Master said that Sang Yan was a disciple of the Black Fire Sect, so this gray-robed man was also from the Black Fire Sect? Sang Yan called him elder, could he be a foundation-building cultivator who hid his cultivation?" Yuan Ming became alert.

...

Inside the castle.

"That's right. But this black restriction seems to be a Yin-locking formation, which can automatically absorb Yin Qi and maintain the operation of the formation for a long time. The Yin Qi in this castle is rich and endless. It may not be easy to break this restriction." Elder Gutu said in a deep voice.

"What should we do? Are we going to make a trip in vain? In order to resist the miasma of the Snake King Valley, we spent a lot of spiritual stones." A black-clothed girl next to Elder Gutu said angrily.

"Don't worry, Junior Sister Nara. Elder Gutu is an expert in array prohibitions. He is one of the top five in our sect. He will definitely find a way to break a small array." Sang Yan said with a smile.

"Don't try to get close to me. Who is your Junior Sister?" The girl in black frowned slightly and spat.

Sang Yan smiled but didn't say anything. It seemed that she didn't take the girl in black's rudeness to heart.

Behind Sang Yan stood a rough man with a black knife on his back. He looked like his guard. He stepped forward with a flash of anger in his eyes.

Next to the girl in black stood a young man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. He also took two steps forward and protected the girl in black behind him.

"The big thing has not been done yet. What are you doing? Get out of here!" Elder Gutu shouted.

Sang Yan waved his hand, and the rough man retreated. The young man with sword-like eyebrows next to the girl in black also retreated.

"Elder Gutu, although the Yin-locking restriction is troublesome, with your attainments in the array restriction, you should have thought of a way to break the restriction long ago, right?" Sang Yan asked.

"If it was the Yin-locking array set up in recent years, I might not be able to break it, but the restriction here seems to have existed for many years. Although it is still in operation, the array-setting equipment has begun to decay, and there are already signs of instability in many places. It is not impossible to break it. You listen to my instructions..." Elder Gutu thought for a moment and said so.

Sang Yan and others were delighted to hear the words, and hurriedly listened attentively. Then, according to Elder Gutu's instructions, they stood in several places outside the hall, holding the white jade talisman given by Elder Gutu, and cast spells to activate them.

Arrow-shaped white light shot out from the jade talisman, which contained a few runes and hit the black restriction.

The black restriction failed to swallow the white light this time, and was trembling after being hit. It was obvious that wisps of black air were constantly dissipating.

"It seems that this elder Gutu has a high level of attainment in formation. I wonder who is more powerful than the masked woman who formed a formation with her hands in Black Rock City?" Yuan Ming secretly thought.

There would be no results in the castle for a while. He changed his mind and looked at the situation in the Snake King Cave through the vision of another soul crow.

At this time, Bai Ye and others had entered the depths of the Snake King Cave after a fight.

Because of the presence of Bai Ye and Huan Shi, two foundation-building cultivators, and everyone working together steadily, there was no loss of personnel.

The space here did not shrink, but became much larger. The surrounding miasma became more and more concentrated. Although the Bai Ye scattered alliance members and those scattered cultivators had barrier-avoiding beads to protect their bodies, they gradually showed fatigue.

Yuan Ming's soul crow was not a physical living creature and was not affected by the miasma. It followed behind easily.

At this point, the golden flower poisonous pythons attacking from the surroundings had begun to decrease, and the resistance encountered by the group was greatly reduced.

Bai Ye and Huan Shi's expressions were not relaxed, but became more solemn.

"We should be very close to the snake king's lair. Don't be careless. Be alert!" Huanshi shouted.

Before he finished speaking, a roar suddenly came from the cave in front of him. It was low and hoarse, but it had a kind of momentum that could penetrate the soul.

The bodies of those Qi Refining cultivators were shaken and their faces turned pale.

The Soul Crow hiding behind had scattered black light on its body and trembled.

"This roar carries a sound wave attack, which can actually hurt the soul!" Yuan Ming hurriedly controlled the Soul Crow to retreat.

While thinking, a golden shadow flashed in the miasma in front, and a golden snake tail as thick as a bucket shot out and rushed straight towards everyone. The hurricane it brought almost blew people away.

Huanshi's figure quickly rushed out and blocked the front of everyone. A bronze shield appeared in his hand, and the green light collided with the golden snake tail.

With a loud bang, Huanshi and his shield were shaken back several steps, and the golden snake tail was also blocked back.

"It's the Golden Flower Snake King! Set up the formation!" Huanshi said hurriedly without waiting for his body to steady itself.

Ten members of the Bai Ye Alliance quickly formed a circle, and the white flags in their hands were inserted into the ground, almost halfway into the ground.

Bai Ye waved his sleeves, and pieces of array disks shot out and landed in various places in the circle.

Boom!

The ten large flags rose with dazzling white light, connected to each other, forming a circular white array, covering the ten people.

The five recruited casual cultivators saw the power of the snake king, were extremely frightened, and subconsciously retreated.

"There is only one way to retreat, hide in the array! The Golden Flower Snake King is a second-level beast. Without the array, you can't compete at all!" Bai Ye shouted.

The closed white array "crashed" and a passage for entry was cracked.

The five casual cultivators were at a loss, and they hurried to the gap in the array after hearing the words.

The thick miasma in front moved, and a giant python with a length of four or five feet and covered with golden scales shot out from the poisonous miasma. The huge python head sprayed a dark green venom and hit the five casual cultivators.

Bai Ye flipped his hand and took out a purple token, and injected his magic power into it.

The token suddenly emitted a large purple light, and a large purple flame also emerged in the white magic circle, burning fiercely.

Bai Ye shouted lightly, and a purple fire snake about ten feet long shot out from the formation and hit the dark green venom.

The purple fire snake was annihilated with a "chi la", and the dark green venom was also scattered and splashed in all directions.

The sound of "chi chi" sounded, and the ground and the stone wall corroded into large and small pits.

A ball of scattered venom happened to hit the head of a fleeing casual cultivator.

The man's head instantly melted into a pool of sticky mud, and he fell directly without even a scream.

Yuan Ming witnessed this scene and was secretly horrified. He was glad that he didn't follow in and take the risk.

The poison of the Golden Flower Snake King was so terrible that it was much better than the toad poison of the black toad. The cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage could not resist it at all.

The remaining four casual cultivators were so scared that they used all their strength to rush into the white magic circle like the wind, and the gap in the magic circle was immediately closed.

"Quick!" Bai Ye's eyes relaxed and urged the token in his hand.

The purple fire in the magic circle became stronger, and a large ball of purple flames shot out, making a crackling sound and hitting the golden python head.

The golden python head seemed to be quite afraid of the purple flames, and it shrank its head to dodge and let this attack go.

Huan Shi next to him also had a purple token in his hand and waved it at the purple flames.

The purple fire spread out in the air and turned into a purple fire net several feet long, covering the huge python head.

"Sizzle" burning sound rang out, and burnt black blood marks were burned on the golden python's head. It screamed in pain and sprayed a stream of green venom from its mouth.

The venom was extremely corrosive, and the purple fire net could not withstand it. A big hole was corroded and it collapsed and disintegrated.

The golden python shook its head, opened its bloody mouth, and roared at Bai Ye and others again like a dragon.

This roar was much stronger than before, and the air in front of the snake's mouth was rippled.

Yuan Ming was shocked and didn't care to continue watching. He immediately controlled the soul crow to turn around and fly away.

However, before it escaped far, the soul crow was shocked by the residual power of the roaring sound wave, and its body trembled violently. A large amount of black gas overflowed from its body, and its body almost became translucent. Fortunately, it did not collapse directly.

Yuan Ming only felt a little confused, and the vision transmitted back by the soul crow quickly became blurred.

He didn't care to think too much, and before the next sound wave appeared, he hurriedly controlled the soul crow to evacuate the snake king cave and put it back into the sea of ​​consciousness.

At the same time, another soul crow flew out from his forehead and returned to the Snake King Cave.

He still wanted to grasp the battle situation in the Snake King Cave in time, even if it cost him some soul damage.

After doing all this, Yuan Ming suddenly thought of something and called the soul crow guarding outside the cave in.

He controlled the soul crow and attached it to the black toad. He took out the earth travel talisman and storage ring and gave them to the black toad, and then activated the earth travel talisman.

A layer of yellow light appeared on the black toad, and it drilled into the ground with a "puff" sound and fled to the Snake King Cave.

…

The soul crow flew to the depths of the Snake King Cave again, carefully arrived at the place where it had been lurking before, and looked forward.

I don't know when the green mist appeared in the air in front of me, mixed with the miasma here, making the vision narrower, and everything around me looked a little hazy.

This green poisonous mist had a sour smell, and it was obviously highly toxic. The ground and stone walls were corroded and pitted, and the body of the fallen cultivator was completely melted, leaving only a pool of mucus.

In the green poisonous fog, the magic circle set up by the Baiye League had collapsed, and the ten white flags were destroyed, with fragments scattered all over the ground.

The ten Baiye League members hiding in the magic circle and the four independent cultivators had all fallen to the ground and died, their bodies were nearly half melted, and their skin turned into a strange green color.

Among the group of people who came in, only Baiye and Huanshi were still alive, and they were controlling the magic tools to fight with the snake king.

However, their cheeks were slightly green, and they were obviously poisoned by the snake, and their movements were much slower than before.

"Since the Baiye League went to great lengths to come here to kill the snake king, they must have made full preparations. How could they be defeated so miserably!" Yuan Ming was a little unbelievable. It took at most half an incense stick of time for his soul crow to be retracted and released, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

But then, his eyes suddenly focused.

He suddenly discovered that the snake king fighting with Baiye and the others seemed to be a little wrong, and it seemed that it was no longer the same snake as before.
