Chapter 217 Mysterious Valley
On a small hill in the southeast corner of the secret realm, three casual foundation-building cultivators in ordinary clothes walked and carefully observed the environment around them.
The cultivation of these people who joined together was not high, and they really didn't dare to fly in this secret realm. They could only walk in it with their legs like Song Qingming and others.
In the past few days, those who dared to fly in the sky with swords in the secret realm were basically the cultivators of the big sects. When they met them, cultivators like them who were casual cultivators really didn't dare to provoke them, and they had to take the initiative to hide their whereabouts to avoid being targeted by them.
The highest cultivation among the three was an old man in green clothes, with a sixth-level foundation-building cultivation. The other two, one wearing a yellow Taoist robe, only had a third-level foundation-building cultivation, and another one had a slightly higher cultivation, a short middle-aged man with a fourth-level foundation-building cultivation.
Before entering the secret realm, they also specially prepared a talisman that could temporarily locate themselves. With good luck, the places where they landed were not far apart, and soon the three of them gathered together in the secret realm.
After crossing the hill, the old man in green clothes who was walking in front looked ahead and suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Look, fellow Taoists, there is spiritual energy overflowing in the valley ahead. There must be good things in it!"
The two people behind heard the old man's voice and hurried forward to take a closer look. Not far away, there was indeed a valley overflowing with spiritual energy, which appeared directly in front of them.
In order to find some useful spiritual objects in this secret realm, these three people have spent a lot of spiritual stones. Apart from the hundreds of spiritual stones given to Xiaoyao Sect, the spiritual objects they prepared for use in the secret realm have almost exhausted all their savings.
As a result, after several people came in, although they quickly gathered together, their luck has always been a little bad. After searching in this secret realm for a few days, they found two places with spiritual objects.
In one place, they encountered two powerful second-level monsters, and they did not dare to take action. Unfortunately, the other place had been taken by someone first. They searched around and only took a few low-level spiritual herbs that were not valuable and looked down upon by others.
Not long ago, the three people who were exploring in the secret realm were entangled by a powerful second-level monster. They worked hard for a long time and consumed two second-level spiritual talismans. Although the three killed the second-level monster, they wanted to collect the monster materials in the end, but they watched the monster's body rot quickly, which made them stomped their feet in anger.
Looking at the valley with abundant spiritual energy in front of them, the three of them suddenly showed a long-lost smile. In such a place with dense spiritual energy, they knew that there must be high-level spiritual objects in it without looking. They had wasted several days in the secret realm, and this time they finally had a good turn.
For a distance of more than ten miles, for a foundation-building cultivator, even if he did not fly with a sword, he could get there in a meal at most with the most basic light body technique.
After a while, the three of them had already walked into the valley with a smile. The old man in green clothes who led the way walked into the valley and looked at the quiet surrounding plants and trees. He suddenly stopped and looked around.
"Brother Jiang, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?" The younger man in yellow asked with some confusion when he saw the cautious look of the old man in green.
The old man in green shook his head and said slowly: "Nothing, I just feel that it's too quiet here, something is not right, I'm afraid there will be powerful monsters hiding inside."
"I didn't think of this, you are more careful, how about I release the spirit beast to explore forward, and then we'll see if we should go in." After the man in yellow finished speaking, he patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, and a two-foot-long red-haired fox jumped out of it.
After touching the head of his spirit beast intimately, the man in yellow took out two golden pills from the storage bag and threw them into its mouth, then pointed forward. After receiving the command, the red-haired fox moved like a gust of wind and soon disappeared in front of the three people.
"Brother Li's spirit beast helped us explore the way, which really saved us a lot of trouble."
"Feng Daoyou said it! Brother Li's red-faced fox is so clever. Although it is only a first-level monster, this kind of spirit beast has an extremely fast escape speed. Even if it faces an ordinary second-level monster, it can escape safely. It is really a good helper."
The old man in green and another short middle-aged man on the side saw that the spirit beast of the man in yellow had set off smoothly, and they all spoke up to praise him.
Hearing the flattery of the two, the man in yellow just waved his hand slightly, without showing too much modesty, and a confident smile appeared on his face.
Although he is the youngest one in the three-person team and his own cultivation is not as good as the other two, since entering the secret realm, his role here is no less than that of the other two.
Several people came together temporarily. No matter what spirit objects they can get later, whoever shows more importance will naturally get more things.
The man in yellow was thinking in his mind. The other two people were not unaware of it either, but they did not have a spirit beast as clever as the red-faced fox, so they really had to rely on him to explore the way.
After the red-faced fox left, the three found a clean open space at the entrance of the valley and rested there for a while, waiting for the red-faced fox to come back and see what was going on inside.
The valley was not small. The red-faced fox ran for a whole incense stick of time before it reached the depths of the valley. It was smooth along the way and did not even encounter a low-level monster.
In the depths of the valley, there was a stone platform on the hillside above. The red-faced fox sniffed below and felt that there was a very huge spiritual power attracting it on the platform above.
The red-faced fox stopped for a while, hesitated slightly, and still couldn't resist the temptation and ran quickly along the mountain road to the platform.
As soon as it jumped onto the platform, before the red-faced fox could make any move, a large golden net came directly towards it.
The red-faced fox saw that the situation was not good, and quickly turned around and wanted to jump off the platform in another direction, but it didn't expect to hit a hard steel plate again, and was instantly bounced back to the original place and fell into the golden net.
A young woman in white took a look at the red-faced fox who was still a little confused trapped inside, picked up the golden net and walked to the center of the platform.
In addition to her, there were nearly 30 monks in white standing on the platform. If someone saw them here, they would be very surprised. All the Xingchenmen disciples who entered the secret realm were here.
"Brother Liu, it seems that what I caught this time is not a native monster in the secret realm. It should be a spirit beast that has recognized its master. It seems that someone has entered the valley." The white-clothed woman holding the red-faced fox slowly said to a young man sitting in the middle of the platform, and watched his reaction carefully while speaking.
"Several brothers, go down and take a look. If someone really comes in, solve it on the spot. Remember, it is best not to leave the valley. We will start to act soon." After the young man calmly gave an order, five white-clothed monks standing beside him quickly walked out and jumped off the platform directly to the bottom of the valley.
