Chapter 272 Calculation

The surviving disciple of Shengye Sect sat down on the ground, gasping for breath. Just as he was feeling terrified, he suddenly heard a clear voice.

"The danger has been eliminated. Since the jade slip has been crushed, you should return to the flying boat as soon as possible and don't stay in the forest any longer."

"Ah, yes, I understand. Thank you for saving my life." The disciple of Shengye Sect came to his senses and bowed to a deserted place.

Although he did not receive a response, he did not dare to stay any longer, so he left the place in a hurry. A purple-black vine slowly crawled behind him, and soon sucked the giant python into a dry corpse.

In the air, Yuan Ming drove the jade shuttle and sent a soul crow to follow the disciple, shaking his head with some emotion.

In the past three days, he has saved seven disciples of Shengye Sect, many of whom were like the man just now, who were overwhelmed by the rare spiritual medicine and ignored the dangers around them.

These disciples of Shengye Sect were admitted to the sect after passing the sect test and spiritual root test. Since they embarked on the immortal path, they have been taken care of by their masters and elders. They have only heard about the dangers of the immortal world and have not really felt it.

Because the sect is good at alchemy and has abundant resources, these disciples have no shortage of cultivation methods, magic tools and elixirs, but lack actual combat experience. Their combat skills and sense of crisis are very poor. No wonder the outside world says that Shengye Sect is not good at fighting.

For these disciples of Shengye Sect, the trial is like an outing. They look for herbs during the day, summon the elders whenever they encounter danger, and camp in groups at night, talking and laughing.

Looking at these Qi Refining disciples, Yuan Ming was moved and envious at the same time. When he embarked on the immortal path, he started as a beast slave, fighting for his life every day in the mountains of southern Xinjiang, and he was in danger every day. How could he be so happy.

Just thinking about it, Yuan Ming quickly took out the magic tool used to locate the jade slip.

At this time, the magic weapon was emitting a very dazzling red light. Yuan Ming immediately cast a spell to activate it. After learning the direction of the distress signal, he drove the jade shuttle again and rushed over there.

In a valley.

Accompanied by the sound of wolves howling one after another, dozens of blue-black demon wolves surrounded many disciples of Shengye Sect, looking for opportunities to attack all the time.

Most of the disciples who participated in the trial gathered here. Their strength was not weak, and their cultivation was generally above the fifth level of Qi Refining. Facing the siege of the demon wolves, they cooperated with each other and fought evenly.

Although those demon wolves were only at the first intermediate level, they cooperated with each other very well. Whenever a demon wolf was seriously injured and repelled by the disciples of Shengye Sect, another one would immediately fill in.

The magic power of the crowd was gradually consumed, but the number of demon wolves never decreased.

But this was not what made them most anxious.

Not far away, a level 2 demon wolf, as tall as a man, had dim eyes, and its tail swung in mid-air. Two green wind blades suddenly flew out and slashed at He Wendao in front of it.

Seeing this, He Wendao quickly made a hand gesture, and the ground under his feet immediately shook, and a wall of earth instantly rose up and blocked him.

The hastily formed earth wall was extremely fragile. Although it blocked the wind blades, it fell into pieces the next moment.

Amid the flying dust, a dark blue wolf figure emerged from the scattered pieces and rushed straight towards He Wendao.

He Wendao's face was pale, and there were already seven or eight level 1 demon wolf corpses lying around him. It seemed that a lot of his mana had been consumed, but he did not dare to relax in the face of danger. He flipped his right hand and threw a talisman on the ground.

More than a dozen sharp earth spikes broke through the ground, and the running demon wolf dodged quickly, but the earth spikes still broke his skin, and blood flowed.

But this also made the demon wolf even more ferocious. It stopped its forward momentum, grabbed the ground with its front paws, bent its back, lowered its head slightly and then suddenly raised it, opened its bloody mouth, and a piercing wolf cry instantly resounded through the valley.

As the sound waves vibrated, the earth thorns that drilled out of the ground shattered one after another, and He Wendao's eyes turned black and he staggered.

The demon wolf's eyes flashed with joy, and it pushed the ground with all four feet, and its whole body jumped high and pounced on He Wendao.

At this moment, a human-shaped vine man fell from the sky, and more than a dozen purple-black vines quickly stretched out in the air, intertwined with each other to form a large net, stopping the demon wolf.

Yuan Ming drove the shuttle and arrived in time. When Huazhi stopped the demon wolf, he also jumped off the shuttle.

"Are you okay?" Yuan Ming asked with concern.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Ha Gong, for your help." He Wendao shook his head and clasped his fists to Yuan Ming.

"It's okay, Elder Lu and the others are here, and this place should be fine." Yuan Ming said.

Just as he was talking to He Wendao, two more streams of light flew in the sky.

Yuan Ming looked up and saw that Bai Ye and Lu Shen had also rushed over, so he just asked Hua Zhi to help, and did not use the magic weapon to fight with all his strength.

The demon wolf was not Hua Zhi's opponent. At this time, two foundation-building cultivators joined the battle, and it was quickly defeated and strangled to death by Hua Zhi.

"Why is Fellow Daoist He so embarrassed?" Lu Shen jumped off the flying magic weapon and looked at He Wendao with a frown.

"When I arrived, I only saw your sect's disciples being besieged by wolves. I just took action to deal with a few of them, but I didn't expect that there was a second-level demon wolf lurking in the dark. I was careless for a while and got a little injured. I'm ashamed." He Wendao smiled bitterly.

At this time, Bai Ye also helped the disciples of Shengye Sect on the other side to deal with the remaining first-level demon wolves and brought them all over.

"How did you guys get in here?" Lu Shen asked.

"Reporting to the elder, yesterday, I accidentally found a wounded demon wolf. When I was chasing it, I mistakenly entered this place and found several wind hyacinths in the depths of the valley. Because there were many demon wolves waiting outside at that time, I secretly retreated and then summoned other brothers to solve the demon wolves together. But for some reason, the number of demon wolves today is twice as many as what I saw." Xu Tian stood up and explained to Lu Shen with a bitter face.

"Wind hyacinth? This is a high-level spiritual herb that is rare in hundreds of years. There is more than one. Are you sure you are not mistaken?" Lu Shen was stunned and asked in surprise.

"Disciple is not lying." Xu Tian assured.

Lu Shen thought for a moment, then asked Xu Tian to lead the way to the place where the wind hyacinths grow, and the other disciples followed behind.

The group went deep into the valley. Soon, in the center of a depression deep in the valley, seven or eight small flowers emitting a faint silver light came into everyone's eyes.

Lu Shen showed a happy expression and walked quickly towards the spiritual medicine.

He Wendao and Bai Ye followed closely behind and walked to the spiritual medicines. The former's eyes widened slightly, and he looked amazed.

As for Xu Tian and other disciples, they stayed outside the depression. Without Lu Shen's order, they did not dare to go forward rashly.

"Fellow Daoist Ha Gong, come and take a look? This is a rare spiritual herb Feng Xuanhua in hundreds of years." He Wendao turned his head and looked at Yuan Ming who was standing not far away and asked.

"Ha Gong, you also come to see Feng Xuanhua. You are lucky this time. This is a main ingredient for making foundation-building pills. I didn't expect to meet it here." At this time, Bai Ye said.

Yuan Ming walked over curiously. When he was still two or three feet away from Feng Xuanhua, he discovered the abnormality of this Feng Xuanhua with the help of his soul cultivation, which was stronger than others.

The spiritual power fluctuations of this Feng Xuanhua did not emanate from the plant, but from the ground below it, and it had obvious and stable regular fluctuations. Could it be that the rhizome of this flower is different and the spiritual energy is particularly strong?

"Whoever first discovered the Feng Xuanhua will be rewarded heavily when he returns to the sect. The main material of the foundation-building pill is becoming increasingly scarce." As Lu Shen spoke, his hand had already reached out to one of the spiritual herbs.

At this moment, Yuan Ming suddenly felt a faint sound of wind coming from his side. He glimpsed from the corner of his eye that He Wendao, who had fallen behind him, had turned into a trace and quickly left.

"It's a trick!" Yuan Ming shouted immediately.

While shouting to remind him, his figure also quickly retreated, and at the same time he immediately summoned Huazhi to come to help.

However, it was too late.

At the moment when Elder Lu Shen grabbed the Feng Xuanhua with a surprised look on his face, the spiritual herb immediately turned into a speck of flying ash and disappeared, and the other spiritual herbs on the ground also dissipated at the same time.

At the same time, the earth shook slightly, and a series of green lightning flashes emerged from the ground, turning into a lightning array with a radius of more than ten feet, surrounding the three people.

Although Yuan Ming's reaction was extremely fast, he still failed to escape the range of the magic circle. When he crossed out, he was intercepted by a rising electric net. Before he got close, he was hit by a lightning whip lock with a flashing green light.

"Crack".

In a hurry, Yuan Ming could only activate the snake scale soft armor to resist.

After a ball of electric sparks flashed, Yuan Ming's body was knocked back, and his clothes on his chest were charred and broken, revealing the snake scale soft armor inside.

Looking at Yuan Ming and others trapped in the lightning magic circle in the center of the depression, some disciples of Shengye Sect who were originally standing outside were frightened and pale. Many disciples rolled and crawled out of the valley. Only a few disciples such as Xu Tian and Luo Xing'er stayed, but some were panicked and some sat on the ground.

Xu Tian looked at the magic circle in the depression nervously, holding Luo Xing'er tightly with one hand, and was also at a loss.

"What's going on?" Bai Ye looked around and saw that He Wendao had disappeared, and shouted in surprise.

"We were tricked. This Feng Xuanhua was a bait created by an illusion. The monster was also used to lure us together. There is something wrong with He Wendao. We were ambushed." Yuan Ming got up and said quickly.

"You want to trap me with a mere magic array?" Elder Lu Shen said, and he put his fingers together and slapped the ground with his other hand. A circle of earthy yellow light appeared in his palm, expanding in all directions like water ripples.

As the light continued to expand, the entire ground began to shake violently, as if a huge force was spreading from the ground, and it was going to directly destroy the foundation stone of the magic array buried deep underground. As the yellow light continued to spread, when it reached the boundary of the magic array, the earth shook again.
