Chapter 174 Interception

"Of course not. Although it is convenient to refine corpses with corpse-sealing nails, it takes a very long time to wait, at least more than a hundred years, which is not considered a top-notch method of refining corpses. For the corpse-driving sect, the main function of the corpse-sealing nails is actually to seal some runaway corpses." Gu Tu shook his head and said so.

The black-clothed girl and others heard this and suddenly realized it.

Gu Tu stopped talking, muttered something in his mouth, and pointed his fingertips on the black iron nails, and both of them burst out with black light at the same time.

His fingers slowly moved outward, and the black iron nails seemed to be stuck to his fingers, slowly pulled outward, and separated from the head of the green-haired corpse bit by bit.

The black-clothed girl and others held their breath and stared, not even daring to breathe.

Boom!

The moment the black iron nail left the head of the green-haired corpse, a sinister and terrifying aura burst out from the green-haired corpse, instantly filling the entire hall, far surpassing the pressure of the foundation-building cultivator.

Everyone's clothes rustled, and their breathing became difficult, and they were all terrified.

"Sure enough, this is indeed the corpse of the Heavenly Snake Master, but the power is sealed by the corpse-sealing nail. Quickly plant the corpse-controlling talisman into the sea of ​​consciousness of the corpse!" Gu Tu said to Sang Yan eagerly with excitement in his eyes.

Sang Yan immediately took out a black jade talisman from the storage bag, pasted it on the forehead of the green-haired corpse, and recited the spell quickly.

The black talisman silently melted, turning into black runes, and sank into the head of the green-haired corpse.

As the woman continued to pinch her hands, a series of spells sank into various parts of the green-haired corpse, and the violent corpse qi began to converge immediately.

Then, Sang Yan took out nine white talismans, waved her hands, and "pa pa pa" pasted the talismans on the top of the head, dantian, hands and feet of the green-haired corpse, and the green-haired corpse completely calmed down.

"Since you found this place, according to the agreement between me and your master, this corpse belongs to you. Put it away first." Gu Tu said.

When the black-clothed girl heard this, her eyes were like poisonous snakes sniping at Sang Yan, and she pinched her fingers fiercely.

"Thank you, Elder Gu Tu!" Sang Yan thanked him with great joy, took out a small black bag, and pressed the fingers to activate it.

A black light shot out from the bag, covering the corpse and the black coffin, and slowly put them into the bag.

"Now that things here are over. Elder Gu Tu, why don't we go to the Snake King Cave to have a look? Since Bai Ye and Huan Shi came here so deliberately, there must be great benefits in the Snake King Cave. With our strength, we will definitely be able to get a share of the pie." The black-clothed girl did not get any benefits here, so she encouraged.

The sword-browed young man and others also did not gain much, and they were all a little tempted.

Gu Tu was a cultivator from a sect, and he looked down on Bai Ye, Huan Shi and other casual cultivators. He also knew that the mission of Bai Ye's scattered alliance was to hunt a second-level snake king beast. At this moment, they might have been fighting to the death, and he was not afraid at all.

"Okay, then go and have a look." Gu Tu nodded and said.

Sang Yan had just found a corpse in the middle stage of the Jindan stage, and she just wanted to return to the sect as soon as possible to refine and control it. She didn't want to cause any trouble, but other fellow disciples were willing to go, so she didn't say much.

...

At the same time.

Yuan Ming came to the depths of the Snake King Cave. After searching for a while, he took out the fangs, snake skins, and horns of the two snake kings and other useful spiritual materials and put them away.

He finally fumbled in the body of the unicorn snake king for a while and quickly took out something, which was the snake bead of the unicorn snake king.

After hesitating for a while, Yuan Ming did not feed the snake bead to the black toad, but put it in the storage ring.

This snake bead is quite precious. Selling it can exchange for a lot of spiritual stones. He is now short of money for the Bailuqiu Alliance, so he will not use it for the advancement of the black toad.

"Quack!" The black toad did not ask for the snake bead, and ran to the depths of the snake cave.

Yuan Ming had already taken back the soul crow that was attached to the black toad. Seeing this, he was slightly startled and hurriedly followed.

Not long after walking forward, the snake cave finally came to the bottom.

This is a large stone cave. In the center is a pit of about ten feet in size. The soil is pressed smooth as a mirror. It seems to be the nest of two snake kings.

In the center of the pit stands a black stone pillar about four or five feet high and as thick as a millstone. It is engraved with ancient patterns. It looks extraordinary. It has been in a place with strong miasma for many years, but its surface has not been corroded at all.

Black Toad ran straight to the stone pillar, pressed his body against it, and showed an extremely comfortable look on his face.

"Hey, what are these stone pillars? The two snake kings put their nests here, and Black Toad likes it very much..." Yuan Ming came to the stone pillar and used his consciousness to explore inside.

An invisible force suddenly emerged and easily bounced his consciousness out.

He frowned and pointed with his finger.

A green wooden thorn pierced the stone pillar, and the wooden thorn shattered and collapsed, leaving no trace on the stone pillar.

Yuan Ming took out the Cold Star Sword again, and a stream of ice sword energy slashed the stone pillar. The sword energy shattered, but the stone pillar was still without any scars.

"Even the Cold Star Sword can't hurt it at all!" He was really shocked. After a moment of hesitation, he opened his spiritual sense again.

This time, he did not explore the depths of the stone pillar, but carefully sensed the black toad to find out why it was close to the stone pillar.

Yuan Ming's efforts were not in vain this time. He soon found the reason. When the black toad was close to the stone pillar, an inexplicable breath came out of the stone pillar and merged into its body.

This breath was not the power of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, nor was it the power of the extreme yang, yin, or even the power of the soul. It was a completely unfamiliar power that he had never come into contact with.

If you have to say, this power is somewhat similar to yin, but not exactly the same, giving him a faint sense of evil.

After absorbing this breath, the black toad's demonic power did not improve much, but the breath it exuded became much more active.

Yuan Ming couldn't figure out the origin of the stone pillar in front of him, but since the breath in it was harmless to the black toad, he didn't bother to care and looked around.

There were more than a dozen black spiritual grasses growing on the ground near the snake king's nest. The leaves were snake-shaped and emitted strong fluctuations of cold and cold power.

"Is this Yin Snake Grass?" Yuan Ming had seen records of black grass in the classics. It was said to be a kind of companion spiritual material that grew near snake beasts.

Yuan Ming hurried forward, carefully picked these spiritual herbs and put them away.

This Yin Snake Grass is an excellent material for refining Yin attribute pills. It can sell a lot of spiritual stones, and it can also be mixed into black incense to try the effect.

In the following time, Yuan Ming searched around again, but did not find any precious things. He walked back with the black toad who was reluctant to leave, and came to Bai Ye and Huan Shi.

The two were still in a coma, and their breath was extremely weak.

Yuan Ming checked it briefly and frowned.

Although the injuries of Bai Ye and the other two were serious, they were not fatal. However, the poison was too deep and had already eroded deep into their internal organs. There was no way to save them.

Yuan Ming suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the unicorn snake king did not give Bai Ye and the other two a fatal blow before, and then pounced on him to fight.

He sighed with regret and was about to take the two away from the snake cave to find a place to bury them, but his movements suddenly stopped.

Yuan Ming thought of the black toad's poison-absorbing magical power, which could absorb snake venom in the air. I wonder if it could directly absorb the poison in the two people's bodies?

He summoned the black toad, shot out two purple-black vines, gently pierced into the bodies of the two, and urged the inner elixir to absorb the snake venom.

A magical scene appeared!

Bai Ye, the original green color on his body surface quickly faded, and moved along the vines into the black toad's body.

"It works. I didn't expect the black toad's ability to absorb poison is so exquisite!" Yuan Ming was secretly happy and continued to drive the black toad to absorb poison.

A moment later, the poison in the two people's bodies disappeared completely, and their skin returned to normal color.

Yuan Ming took out two healing pills, stuffed them into the mouths of the two, and used his magic power to help them refine them.

The medicinal power dissolved, and the two people's breathing became stable.

Bai Ye's cultivation was profound, and his external injuries were severe, but his internal injuries were relatively light, and he woke up quickly.

"Fellow Daoist Ha Gong, it's you..." Bai Ye looked at Yuan Ming in surprise, and then thought of the unicorn snake king, and looked around in fear.

"The snake king is dead, and it's safe now, don't worry, leader Bai Ye." Yuan Ming straightened Bai Ye's arm bone and said.

Bai Ye saw the bodies of the unicorn snake king and the other golden flower snake king, and saw the traces of battle on the ground, and roughly guessed the situation after the coma.

"So it was fellow Daoist Ha Gong who saved me and Huanshi? Thank you very much!" Bai Ye thanked sincerely.

"It's just a convenience. Since you, leader Bai Ye, have woken up, I don't have to worry about the injury of senior Huanshi. I still have things to do, so I'll say goodbye." Yuan Ming said, got up and walked outside.

Bai Ye wanted to say more words of thanks, but seeing Yuan Ming's attitude, he had to swallow them.

After taking a few steps, Yuan Ming suddenly stopped and looked forward.

After he entered the snake cave, for safety, he sent the soul crow in the cave to monitor the entrance of the snake cave. The people from the Black Fire Sect came to the outside of the snake cave.

Yuan Ming guessed the purpose of the Black Fire Sect after a little thought, but he was not nervous.

The spiritual power of the earth travel talisman was not exhausted and could be used again. He could escape underground at any time.

"What did fellow Daoist Ha Gong find?" Bai Ye was already a frightened bird. Noticing Yuan Ming's abnormality, he asked hurriedly.

"Someone came over, a total of five people, Bai Rong was among them, and the other four were also casual cultivators summoned for this mission. One of them hid his cultivation and was a cultivator in the foundation building period." Yuan Ming turned his head and glanced at Bai Ye, reminding him.

"We are blocked here!" Bai Ye's expression changed after hearing this. Every word Yuan Ming said was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.

If he and Huanshi were not injured, he would not be afraid, but now Huanshi is still unconscious and he is seriously injured and unable to move. Even a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage cannot defeat him.

"I am afraid I can't do anything. Alliance Leader Bai Ye, please take care of yourself." After Yuan Ming reminded him, he took out the Earth Traveling Talisman and prepared to escape underground.

"Fellow Daoist Ha Gong, wait! Huanshi and I are seriously injured at the moment. If the people who come here have bad intentions, we have no power to resist. Please help me. I have more than a thousand spirit stones on me, and Huanshi's storage bag should have five or six hundred spirit stones. I can give them all to you as a reward for saving my life." Bai Ye came back to his senses with a start and spoke quickly.

Yuan Ming was a little moved after hearing this, but after carefully considering the consequences, he shook his head.

The Black Fire Sect was a huge force, and it was above the Biluo Cave. Killing Sang Yan and the others was different from killing those few casual cultivators before. It might cause the Black Fire Sect to investigate. He had no intention of offending the Black Fire Sect, and reminding Bai Ye was already the most he could do.

As for whether Bai Ye would hate him for his refusal, Yuan Ming didn't care. At this moment, even his appearance and identity were fake, so he naturally didn't care about being betrayed.
