53 Not Following the Script
With the eighth level of crystallization, it is not a problem to fly a sword for hundreds of miles. The better the quality of the sword, the less spiritual power is lost. The earth-level sword that Long Tian received from Liu Xuan was placed in some small and medium-sized families as heirlooms.
Long Tian never made any publicity about obtaining such a valuable weapon. After coming out of Tianluo Sect, he always walked a long distance before changing into a flying sword. About a stick of incense later, he stopped over a forest.
"According to the map marks, this should be it." After falling into the forest, he put away his flying sword, released his consciousness, and continued to go deeper.
The forest was rich in products, but there were no spiritual plants, so he gave up the idea of making extra money. Not long after, he found his target, four blue and white wolves.
It is different from the number shown in the mission, there are twelve items missing. Long Tian couldn't help but be a little confused.
Smelling the unfamiliar smell, the blue and white wolves stood up one after another.
The gap in cultivation was too big. Long Tian effortlessly killed the blue and white wolf that pounced on him. He then put the body into a storage bag and then walked around the forest. He didn't find any of the same kind. He thought they might have gone there. They were hunting elsewhere, so they decided to go to a nearby village to wait for the wolves to return.
Seeing the monks, the villagers felt like they were seeing gods, and some of them knelt down and worshiped. Long Tian also grew up in the village before, and did not have the arrogance and naturalness of ordinary monks. He quickly waved his hands to signal the villagers not to do this.
"Xianjia, how is the forest now?" an old man who seemed to be the village chief asked nervously.
"I killed a small part of those evil beasts, and the rest probably just went out to hunt and have not been found yet. Don't worry, the nearby village has an array set up by the steward of our sect. As long as they don't move around, the evil beasts can't enter the village. Yes. As long as I wait for them to come back, I will kill them all without leaving any harm."
"Thank you, Xianjia." The villagers expressed their gratitude again and asked Long Tian to go into the village to have a good rest. Just as Long Tian was about to follow them in, he suddenly found a very inconspicuous symbol under the stone tablet at the entrance of the village.
But this symbol had already been engraved in Long Tian's mind, so the moment he saw it, he thought of a certain killer sect that he hated so much, the Black Mantis Sect.
Long Tian immediately looked at the villagers with vigilant eyes. Could it be that they had all been bribed by the killers from the Dark Mantis Sect and wanted to introduce him into the village to catch the turtle in the jar?
'No. ’ The old man Yuxian was still very sensitive to people’s emotions: ‘I didn’t find anything wrong with you talking to them just now. ’
‘Anyway, there is the symbol of the Black Mantis Gate here, indicating that they have visited here. It seems that Bai Song knew about my outing. ’
It took Long Tian most of the day to get here from Tianluo Sect, and the time he got here was enough for Bai Song to notify the assassins of the Dark Mantis Sect and let them prepare for the assassination in advance.
You have to go somewhere else.
Long Tian's eyes flickered and he didn't say anything. He was originally surrounded by people preparing to enter the village, but he immediately disappeared. The villagers didn't even know when he disappeared.
Back in the forest, Long Tian had some questions that he couldn't figure out. Is there any connection between the decrease in the number of blue and white wolves and the Black Mantis Sect? If they were the ones who killed him, why not just set a trap in the forest and wait for him to fall into it? Since they came early, why didn't they show up?
After walking around the forest again, he still didn't find any problems. Long Tian simply didn't want to think so much and decided to deal with the killer first, so he started to arrange formations in the forest.
————In the river a few kilometers away
After a lot of effort, Ye Yong finally found the deeply hidden Jindan Cave.
There is no way, the protagonist has unfavorable luck, he can break into the tomb and get the treasure at will, but Ye Yong, as the villain, can only explore the road like a blind man, groping little by little, but he has read the novel and narrowed the search range. Zoom in, and be careful not to miss a single detail, otherwise you may not be able to find it even if you search for days.
This cave has existed for hundreds of years without being discovered by the outside world, so it still has something going for it. It's a pity that I met a villain who 'knows' the future and has a cheat.
After entering, Ye Yong used his knowledge of formations to skillfully disarm the traps and went straight to the room where the master of the cave was sitting.
The room was relatively deserted, with few furnishings. A mummy that had lost moisture but had not rotted sat in the center. A huge sandalwood was placed in front of it, and there were some burnt candles around it.
In Ye Yong's eyes, the golden elixir was nothing if not ugly, but Ye Yong still had the respect that was due to the dead. He made a monk's salute to the mummy and waited for the mummy's response.
This golden elixir almost broke through the Nascent Soul before it was alive, but unfortunately God's will played a trick on people, and there were many monks who almost broke through like this, and died with hatred in the end. After all, he was a cultivator at the peak of the golden elixir. He had regrets during his lifetime, and it had only been a hundred years since his death. His soul had not completely dissipated, and some remained in his body.
No, the mummy moved slightly, stirring up a burst of dust.
Ye Yong is already ready to draw his sword, because in the novel, the mummy wants to absorb Long Tian's yang energy and cultivate into a demon, which is also commonly known as a zombie. They are not the kind of zombies that eat people. Zombies are just like younger brothers in front of zombies. There is no one who can beat them. When reading novels, what Ye Yong hates most is that the zombies are written as zombies, which are not the same species at all.
The fighting power of zombies is amazing, and they are divided into several types. The so-called zombies rely on mountains and water, and they are divided into drought zombies, water zombies, forest zombies, etc.
There is a river outside the cave, and the water vapor is heavy, so if you are successfully cultivated by it, you will be a water demon. Depending on your cultivation level, the place where the water demon appears will cause the stream to overflow, or the river to overturn, causing a tragic flood.
After waiting for a long time, the mummy showed no intention of swooping over to suck in the yang energy. This made Ye Yong a little embarrassed. Because the other party didn't take the initiative to attack, he couldn't kill them directly. After all, desecrating the body and counterattacking in self-defense had to do. difference.
"Creak, creak." After a while, the mummy made the sound of bones grinding and pointed to the wall behind it.
Ye Yong knew that it was a dark room where the mummy's belongings were hidden, but what could it do to directly point the way? Why don't you follow the script?
"Junior Ye Yong." Ye Yong took off his fox mask, revealing a face that would make any man jealous and then secretly sad: "I have no intention of intruding into senior's territory, I'm really sorry."
"Creak, creak, creak." The mummy seemed to pause for a moment, then nodded, as if to express understanding, and still pointed at the stone door of the secret room.
"Senior, what do you mean? Is there something for me?"
"Creak, creak, creak." There was still a weird sound of bones rubbing against his head.
what's going on? Why not attack? Just because I'm the villain, not the protagonist, so I'm going to give it away for free? Do dead people act based on aura?
Ye Yong was confused and quickly thought of something.
By the way, the protagonist was injured and bleeding when he came in. In other words, the yang energy was exposed, so the mummy's absorption of yang energy was purely an instinctive reaction?
Of course, Ye Yong is not naive enough to think that dead people cannot lie or set traps. He remained vigilant and came to the wall. There was a not-so-obvious bulge. He pressed it gently, and with a rumble, a stone door appeared, revealing a crack.
In the novel, there are no traps in the secret room. Despite this, Ye Yong carefully pushed away while paying attention to whether there was any movement in the Jindan mummy behind him.
