Chapter 17 Vines

Finally, the two vines stopped growing. At this time, the branches of the vines had grown all over the crack, leaving only a hole of more than one foot in the middle. The crack was also firmly controlled by the two vines and could no longer change.

After doing all this, Master Xiying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This vine can only support a cup of tea. Time is running out. Let's all go in."

After Master Xiying finished speaking, the cave entrance fell into silence for a while, but the people present stood still, as if no one wanted to be the first. Yes, facing an unknown space, no one knew what dangers were hidden in it, and indeed no one dared to be the first.

Master Xiying's face was extremely ugly. Just as he was about to give the order for the Tiger Gang to take the lead, the old Taoist Songhe from Qingyang suddenly stood up and said, "Master, I am willing to be the first to go in and explore the way. I just have a small request. I hope that several masters can agree."

"You say." Master Xiying said with a cold face.

Taoist Songhe bowed respectfully and said, "Master, my apprentice and the other two kids are not very strong and can't help much if they go in. It's better to let them stay outside. We don't have to worry about the future and can do our best for you."

Unexpectedly, at this time, the master is still thinking about his own safety. Qingyang's nose was sour.

Before the Xiying Master spoke, the Xiping Master next to him shouted, "No, Hu Zhensong has only found a few of you. If you leave three more outside, how many people will be left to do the work?"

"Senior Songhe's words still make sense. They really can't help if they go in. We should be enough." Pi Yingxiong also said.

The Xiping Master said, "Why are you talking so much? Yesterday, my uncle promised to show you a clear way, but you are still not satisfied? You said it now, are you trying to threaten me with this?"

"I dare not, I dare not, we are just a small request, I hope the master can understand." Taoist Songhe explained quickly.

Seeing that the other party was not willing to compromise at all, Taoist Songhe could only sigh helplessly. Everyone was about to enter the secret place. Perhaps several immortal masters were worried that leaving the three children outside without anyone to watch over them might leak the news. This Immortal Xiping was obviously not easy to talk to. If he insisted again and again and annoyed him, he would directly chop the three children, and he would regret it.

From yesterday to today, they have seen the abilities of several immortal masters and have no intention of resisting. It seems that they can only go in first. At most, they can be more careful when they encounter danger.

Seeing that Taoist Songhe and the others did not insist anymore, Taoist Xiping snorted coldly and said, "Stop talking nonsense and go in quickly. If you delay the time, you can't afford to be punished."

Since things have come to this point, there is no room for choice. Taoist Songhe was relieved and directly pulled Qingyang to the cave formed by the vines. With Taoist Songhe taking the lead, the others became bolder and followed behind.

The hole was more than a foot wide, slightly wider than an adult's shoulder, and five or six feet above the ground. Ordinary people would have to move a stool to cushion the ground before they could crawl through. But for those people in the martial arts world, it was much easier. They could just jump in with a light jump. Not to mention the Taoist priest Song He, even Qing Yang and the others could do it easily.

Pi Yingxiong was the last one, because he was too strong and his shoulders were even wider than the hole, so it was much more troublesome for him to get in than for the others.

After Pi Yingxiong came in, he whistled outside, and soon, another spotted leopard carrying a skinny monkey rushed in from the hole. The leopard and the monkey were Pi Yingxiong's trained animals. Because they were not in danger, they followed quietly behind him.

This leopard and monkey are Pi Yingxiong's helpers. They can even help their master fight when they encounter danger, just like Pi Youfeng's little red bird and little black snake. So the people present should not be underestimated. They may have hidden tricks.

After everyone got into the cave, Xiying Immortal Master stood outside the cave and said, "The area of ​​the secret place should not be large. Ten days is enough for you to explore it all. I will open the cave again in half a month. I hope you don't miss it."

As soon as these words came out, all the people in the secret place were frightened. Du Chengjin said in a lost voice, "Don't you immortal masters come in?"

Xiying Immortal Master did not hide it from everyone. He nodded and said, "Yes, this secret place has some restrictions on our abilities, so the Tiger Gang asked you for help. Don't worry, as long as your harvest this time can satisfy me, I can consider any request after you come out."

Any request can be considered? It depends on whether we can get out alive.

Everyone originally thought that this trip was mainly for the work of several immortal masters, and they were just running errands and exploring the way. If they encountered problems, they would naturally be solved by several immortal masters, and the dangers were all within the controllable range. Who would have thought that these immortal masters would not go in, but only tricked a few ordinary people into coming in, and they had to solve all the problems by themselves. This was a secret place that even immortal masters were afraid of. How could a few ordinary people solve it?

Immortal Master Xiying's explanation not only did not dispel everyone's doubts, but also made everyone present change their faces. Du Chengjin, who was relatively timid, trembled all over and almost collapsed on the ground.

Qian Banxian was even more frightened and peeing. He pried hard at the hole and cried, "Why didn't you say it just now? This is to let us go to die. I don't want to do it. I want to get out."

Only the people of the Tiger Gang seemed to have expected it. There was no doubt on their faces, but they were nervous and panicked. After all, this was a secret place that even immortal masters dared not enter. Even if they were well prepared, they would be unsure when the time came.

Qian Banxian was crying and trying to get out of the cave. Master Xiying flicked her sleeves lightly, and a strong wind rushed in from the cave. Du Chengjin was the first to be blown over and over again before he stopped. The others were also blown to pieces.

At the same time, I don’t know whether the vines in the cave had reached their limit or Master Xiying had withdrawn the vitality from the vines. The vines began to dry and shrink rapidly, and the cave, which was originally more than one foot wide, became smaller and smaller. As the cave became smaller and smaller, the dry vines gradually weathered and fell off, and soon turned into the original crack state.

These changes are slow to say, but in fact everything happened in the blink of an eye. When everyone stood firm, the width of the crack outside had shrunk to less than half a foot. Such a width is too wide for them, not to mention even children.

The crack became narrower and narrower, but everyone was powerless and could only watch the crack heal slowly. When the crack finally disappeared completely, Qian Banxian finally couldn’t help it. He sat on the ground and cried loudly: "I want to get out. I don’t want to die!"
