Chapter 399 Exploration

at the same time.

Somewhere on the edge of Xunmu Cave.

A dark passage suddenly opened in the nothingness, and then a figure stepped out of the passage. Wearing Tingchaoya's robe, he was one of Tingchaoya's masters.

As soon as the master of Tingchaoya appeared, he immediately looked around with vigilance. After seeing that the surroundings were deserted and uninhabited, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to the void passage. Soon there was another sight. One person walked out, followed by a third person, a fourth person, a fifth person...

soon.

Many masters from Tingchaoya gathered together and all entered the Xunmu Cave.

When they saw everyone gathered, the expressions of the leaders immediately became much more relaxed.

The location of the void passage is uncertain. Although it will definitely open at the edge of Xunmu Cave, if you are unlucky and happen to bump into the spiritual ancestor patrolling the cave, you will be in great trouble, especially in When manpower is not sufficient.

Now that they have basically gathered the manpower of Chaoya, the crisis is much smaller. Even if the ancestor of the Lingren tribe suddenly appears now, they can still resist one or two together. At least they can protect this passage and wait for others to enter one after another. .

When the number of grandmasters coming in reaches a certain level, even the ancestors of the Lingren tribe will have to stay away.

It was naturally a good thing that he didn't directly bump into the spirit ancestor.

soon.

Other masters from Daxuan and other places outside the sea also entered Xunmu Cave one after another.

The grandmaster of Tingchaoya did not leave immediately, but waited in place until all the grandmasters stepped into the Xunmu Cave. After the void passage gradually closed, the leader among them took a step forward, cupped his hands and said:

"Everyone, without further ado, now that we have stepped into the Xunmu Cave, we can start taking action. If anyone wants to take action with us, we are also welcome, and we will share a share of the Xunmu Spiritual Liquid. "

Listening to Chao Ya's elder Pu Hai said seriously.

In Xunmu Cave Heaven, gathering people has advantages and disadvantages. The more people gathered, the less scruples they will have when acting and the more unscrupulous they will be. However, after getting the Xunmu Spiritual Liquid, the more everyone can share. few.

And the more people there are, the bigger the noise will be, the more eye-catching it will be in Xunmu Cave, and the easier it will be to attract the ancestors of the spirit race. On the other hand, if a small number of people move, they will be more hidden and less likely to attract attention. But once When encountering the ancestors of the Spirit Race, it is often difficult to deal with them, and they are very likely to die.

Long before entering Xunmu Cave, everyone separated into teams. At this time, after hearing Elder Pu Hai's words, some people looked at each other and seemed to hesitate briefly, but some people ignored them and immediately ran away.

For example, Master Zong Gang and Hong Shida led a few people and quickly disappeared into the distance.

This way.

A group of people under Yan Hong's command also set their sights on Yan Hong. Yan Hong had naturally made a decision and said to Yan Zhengyang and others: "We have almost enough people. If we have more targets, let's go."

It would be safer to join forces with Tingchaoya, but the harvest would be much less. It would not be easy to compete with Tingchaoya. Yanhong had gathered so many people outside, so naturally he did not intend to go with Tingchaoya.

After choosing a direction, Yan Hong hit the road.

Yan Zhengyang and others also had no objections and followed Yan Hong one after another.

rear.

At this time, Chen Mu was looking at the giant Xunmu tree that seemed to support the heaven and earth from a distance, showing a little sigh, sighing at the magic of all things, that such a sacred tree could be born in the world, and his mind was briefly immersed in the perception of this world. middle.

He could feel that everything in this side of the world was still included in the eight phases of the universe, but there seemed to be some small problems in this side of the world. It seemed to be much narrower than the Daxuan world, which made him vaguely feel that there was something wrong with him. There is a layer of membrane-like restraint, which is a little uncomfortable. It is obviously the suppression from this world.

Fortunately, this suppression did not have a big impact on him. It had a minimal impact on the martial body itself. It only slightly restricted the Qiankun field, but the actual restrictions were not many. This is also in line with what I heard about Xunmu before. The situation in the cave.

After pondering for a while.

Seeing Yan Hong and his party starting to take action, Chen Mu thought for a moment and did not leave the team immediately. Instead, he quietly followed them and went with the others to the hinterland where Mu Dong Tian was found.

Although he also remembered the contents of Yan Hong's map of Xunmu Cave, but just as the earth's abyss changes, Xunmu Cave will inevitably undergo some changes. He is still not familiar with this place, so he needs to explore it first. No problem.

Swish, swish.

All the masters restrained their auras and moved extremely fast, traveling dozens of miles in a matter of seconds.

At this time, they had left the edge of Xunmu Cave, and gradually entered the periphery of Xunmu Cave. Looking up, they could already see the crown of the towering giant tree Xunmu, which had extended to the top of everyone's heads.

"Just stick to the original plan."

Yan Hong raised his head and glanced at the Xunmu tree crown above, and said to the people behind him.

There are two exploration routes in Xunmu Dongtian. One is to walk underground. people'.

Yes.

The spirit race is also divided into upper and lower races. Lower spirit people are only qualified to live underground. Most of the lower spirit people will never be able to climb the crown of Xunmu in their lifetime. Above the crown of Xunmu, upper spirit people are qualified to live. place.

But whether it is the dense, towering branches on the top of the Xunmu tree canopy, or the roots that crisscross the ground, there will be Xunmu spirit liquid in them, so after entering the periphery of the Xunmu Cave Heaven, you have to decide the route.

The plan that everyone had discussed before was to explore the underground root system.

The underground root system is intricate and vast, and it is no less vast than the canopy that covers the sky, and it is more concealed to move, and it is not easy to cause turmoil. The only flaw is that there are many restrictions underground, and it is not conducive to escape once something happens.

In comparison, the top of the tree canopy is much more open, and the masters who can fly in the air are even more free and easy.

The reason why Yan Hong's group finally chose to explore the underground after discussion is that there are not many people in the team who are good at flying in the air, only two, and the others can only fly in the air barely, and there are also those who can't fly at all and can only stay for a short time, so exploring the tree canopy does not have much advantage.

Moreover, the cultivation routes of the masters in the team are also generally inclined towards the "Kundi lineage", including the Taiyin power displayed by Chen Mu, which is also closer to the Kundi lineage.

Chen Mu had no objection to the route chosen by Yan Hong and others.

The crowd quickly found a passage leading to the underground, and then left the ground and stepped into the underground of Xunmu Cave Heaven.

As soon as he entered.

Chen Mu saw an underground world that was completely different from Daxuan. Wherever he looked, there were crisscrossing Xunmu roots everywhere. These Xunmu roots contained extremely strong and surging Xunmu power. Even for masters like Yan Hong, it was extremely difficult to destroy it, and even to leave some scars, they needed to use all their strength.

"It is indeed extremely strong."

Chen Mu stretched out his hand to touch a piece of Xunmu roots, sensing its state, and pondered slightly.

The underground of the Xunmu Cave Heaven is a bit like the Bingzhou Earth Abyss. Due to the crisscrossing of the Xunmu root system, it is not possible to move forward and backward freely. It takes a lot of effort to force through the root system, so you have to move along the part without the root system.

The group did not walk far before they found a relatively open underground path. There were many traces of artificial excavation nearby. After continuing to move forward for a while, an underground building finally appeared in front.

"Spiritual people..."

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance.

In his sight, he saw the old underground building, which was built on an extremely thick Xunmu root system. The thick Xunmu root system was glowing with a little fluorescence, illuminating the four directions.

And among the building complex, some human figures can be vaguely seen. These figures look no different from humans. They all have facial features and limbs, but their skin color is much darker, like the roots of trees.

The spirit people in this building complex are all weak and have no very high realm.

Even though Yan Hong and his group had already arrived nearby, almost within the sight of some people, because they were all masters, the group of spirit people still didn't notice it under the restrained breath.

Finally.

When everyone almost reached the edge of the building complex, it seemed that some kind of formation was triggered all of a sudden. In an instant, the root system of the Xunmu, which was glowing with a little fluorescence, suddenly became much darker!

And the spirit person who was closest to the group, who was chopping a stone tool, suddenly looked up after noticing the change, and saw Yan Hong and others who had arrived nearby. When he saw everyone's appearance, his face suddenly changed.

"Kagu!"

He made a strange cry.

Although they didn't speak the same language, Chen Mu and others were all so smart that even if they didn't understand, they could tell the general meaning of the strange sound at a glance, which should be "enemy attack" and "run away".

But this sound didn't spread out, and was almost blocked by Yan Hong who took action.

Bang!

Yan Hong suddenly slapped out with a slap. With a bang, the dark brown spirit's body broke apart, like a rotten watermelon that was smashed, and blood flowed out.

Judging from their broken bodies, they also had internal organs, but the blood flowing was dark brown.

"Crack! Crack!"

Although Yan Hong took action to control it immediately, the changing luster of the Xunmu root system seemed to have transmitted the danger signal, and soon the entire spirit tribe was in turmoil. Hundreds of spirits rushed out with strange screams, but each of them was frightened and had no intention of resisting. Instead, they took action and tried to escape to the depths of the cave.

"Do it, don't let them run away!"

Yan Zhengyang spoke in a deep voice, and the whole person suddenly attacked. He flashed and rushed to the front. He waved his palm casually, and immediately seven or eight spirits froze in place, and then broke and shattered one by one.

The rest of the people also rushed forward and attacked, slaughtering all the spirits in this tribe in an instant.

Chen Mu walked at the end of the team and did not attack. He just watched Yan Zhengyang and other masters attack. His eyes swept over a spirit who looked very young and was crushed into mud by the power of the strong, and he sighed in his heart.

The strong prey on the weak, and the fittest survive. Moreover, they are not of the same race, so he naturally has no restraint in his heart. After all, if it were the other way around, the spirit race would be the stronger party, and the people of Daxuan Ninety-Nine States would be slaughtered so casually.

"The body structure is not much different..."

Chen Mu did not kill, but stopped beside a relatively intact corpse, stretched out his hand and gently touched it, carefully explored its body structure, and showed a thoughtful look.

The spirit people and humans are indeed quite similar, and the difference in their bodies is not even as big as the difference between humans and monsters.

So far, the only completely different kind of life that Chen Mu has seen is the ancient demons, whose body structure is completely different and do not have organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs. It seems that they are completely different from them from the root.

As for other species such as the monsters and even the spirit people, there are always similarities.

After a short investigation.

Chen Mu stood up again and walked towards the center of the tribe, and soon caught up with Yan Hong and others.

The corpses of the spirit people were everywhere nearby. Only one spirit person who looked about middle-aged survived, but he was also suppressed by Yan Zhengyang's strength and knelt on his knees, unable to move at all.

"Where is it... Tell me, I will spare your life..."

Yan Zhengyang looked at the spirit person with indifference, trying to torture some information from him, but although he could discern the meaning of the other party's strange language, the other party was not easy to understand his words.

After a brief interrogation, Yan Zhengyang swung his palm and killed the spirit man. He then turned to look at everyone and said, "The wood-seeking spirit liquid we need is also called 'holy dew' in the spirit people. It is also extremely rare for them. This remote settlement is not qualified to get involved. At least a large settlement may have a little."

"I have asked. From here, after passing four settlements, there is a large settlement."

Hearing Yan Zhengyang's words.

Yan Hong nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yan."

Then he turned his eyes to the people present and asked, "What do you think?"

"There is no target for the time being, so let's go and take a look."

Someone spoke.

According to Yan Zhengyang's words, large settlements can only have a little wood-seeking spirit liquid at most. This "little" is obviously not satisfactory to everyone. Everyone is exploring underground, looking for special wood-seeking root nodes. Only such places can produce a large amount of wood-seeking spirit liquid, so that everyone can make a profit.

However, there is no target for the moment, so it is okay to follow this clue. Even though there is not much Xunmu Spiritual Liquid in the large settlement, once there, we may be able to learn more about the location of the root nodes.

The only problem is that if we make too much noise, we may attract trouble, and even the ancestors of the spirits. But since we have arrived at Xunmu Cave Heaven, it is inevitable that we will not have disputes with the spirits.

This place is not even the hinterland of Xunmu Cave Heaven. As long as we move faster, we can control the noise.
