Chapter 371 Cave Entrance

The four people took turns to control the flying boat to the north. Because they were all cultivators with similar cultivation levels and had a rare opportunity to sit together, they would naturally exchange some of their cultivation experiences with each other, and they quickly became familiar with each other.

Compared with Gao Yuyao and Duan Xueyi, two Xiaoyao Sect disciples with higher status in the sect, Fang Wuqian was similar to Song Qingming. They were both ordinary cultivators from the Weiguo Immortal Cultivation Family. He spoke more straightforwardly than the two of them, which made Song Qingming have a better impression of him.

The reason why Fang Wuqian was invited by Duan Xueyi was because Duan Xueyi had done him a great favor before, and this time it was also a rare opportunity for him, so Fang Wuqian naturally didn't want to miss it.

After traveling about a thousand miles northward, the flying boat had already penetrated deep into the Floating Cloud Mountains. From time to time, it would encounter some low-level monsters such as flying birds on the road. In order not to alarm those high-level second-level monsters, everyone did not choose to kill these monsters, but tried to drive them away from the flying boat.

When the flying boat went deep into the Floating Cloud Mountains for about 3,000 miles, there were many high-level monsters above level 2, and few cultivators would set foot here. In order to avoid the attention of those high-level monsters, everyone could only slowly slow down the speed of the flying boat and carefully pass through the territory of these high-level monsters.

After traveling for another four or five days, the flying boat passed several high mountains and a river more than ten feet wide appeared in front of them.

After Gao Yuyao, who was standing on the flying boat, saw the river, she hurriedly said loudly: "Sister Duan, wait a moment, the place recorded in the hairpin seems to be nearby."

Hearing Gao Yuyao say this, several people on the flying boat stood up instantly and looked at the river below.

"According to the above records, this cave is below a pool on the north side of the Jinshui River. After we walk forward for a while, let's go down together to see if there is anything that looks unusual."

After crossing the Jinshui River mentioned by Gao Yuyao, the flying boat came to a swampy area with puddles everywhere. The scope of this swamp is very large, with a total radius of about dozens of miles.

After getting off the flying boat, everyone chose a direction and began to disperse around to look for the pond Gao Yuyao mentioned.

What was a bit strange was that after searching for a while, they didn't even find a big pond until they met up at night. They were all small puddles with a radius of only one or two feet.

Although some of these puddles were bottomless, they were too far away from the large pond of more than ten feet wide that Gao Yuyao mentioned. There was no way to regard them as a pond at all.

"Fellow Daoist Song, could it be that the senior has set up a concealment array around here, so we can't find the pond." Seeing that several people had returned empty-handed, Duan Xueyi hurriedly asked Song Qingming who was standing beside him.

Song Qingming shook his head and replied: "At present, I haven't seen anything unusual, but there are many magic arrays in the world of immortal cultivation. It's hard to say whether there is such a sophisticated array that can deceive all of us. We need to check it carefully. Fairy Duan, don't worry. If there is a hidden magic array covering the pool, you can find out the abnormality after searching a few more times."

After midnight, the swamp area near the river began to float with diffuse white fog, which soon blurred the surrounding scene. Song Qingming, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly felt a strange movement in the fog with his consciousness, and he quickly opened his eyes.

Song Qingming just wanted to look around, but found that Duan Xueyi, who was sitting opposite him, had already noticed the strange movement before him. At this moment, she had also opened her bright eyes and was carefully observing the fog beside her.

Since practicing the Soul Devouring Art given to him by Feng He, Song Qingming's spiritual consciousness has become about twice as strong as that of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator. In all these years, he has never seen a foundation-building cultivator whose spiritual consciousness is comparable to his current one. He is even more curious about Duan Xueyi, wondering what kind of spiritual consciousness technique this woman has practiced.

The movement in the mist is getting closer and closer to everyone. Soon, Gao Yuyao and Fang Wuqian, who have weaker spiritual consciousness, also discovered the movement in the mist and woke up from their meditation.

Just as everyone was carefully observing the surroundings, a hissing sound suddenly sounded in the mist, followed by several huge red eyeballs suddenly appearing in the mist. Two huge demon crocodiles opened their huge heads from the mist and pounced on the four people.

These two demon crocodiles are huge, several feet long, and are obviously demon beasts above level two. Behind them, there are more than a dozen blood-red eyes, but these eyes look smaller than the two giant crocodiles in front.

Seeing that the two Level 2 demon crocodiles were coming with ill intentions, Song Qingming and Fang Wuqian, who had already been prepared, looked at each other and immediately stopped the two demon crocodiles on the left and right.

Although the two demon crocodiles were huge, they were only Level 2 low-grade demon beasts. In front of Song Qingming and Fang Wuqian, two late-stage foundation-building cultivators, they did not pose any threat at all and were quickly suppressed by the two to the side.

After dozens of demon crocodiles followed behind, they were knocked over by Gao Yuyao with a purple ribbon magic weapon before they started to attack, and they had no way to get close to the few people.

Seeing that the three people who had already started the fight did not need his help at all, Duan Xueyi used a feather fan and fanned it directly in front of them, immediately blowing away most of the fog that affected everyone's vision, revealing the low-level demon crocodiles who were still at a loss in the fog.

Seeing that these people were not easy to mess with, the demon crocodiles that had not yet approached hesitated for a moment, then slowly retreated and began to flee.

The two level 2 demon crocodiles were soon defeated by Song Qingming and the others, and died unwillingly in the hands of several people.

After killing the last demon crocodile, the sky gradually brightened. Fang Wuqian looked at the corpses on the ground and said in confusion: "It's strange. When searching during the day, these demon beasts were not found. Where did they suddenly appear from?"

"It doesn't look like they came from somewhere else. Their nest should be in those puddles. We will know when we go over and take a look later." Duan Xueyi looked at the puddles in the distance and replied thoughtfully.

After they cleaned up the bodies of the two second-level demon crocodiles, they followed the footprints of the low-level demon crocodiles and soon came to a bottomless puddle.

Duan Xueyi looked around carefully and said with a smile: "I finally know why we couldn't find the puddle before. It turns out that the entrance to this cave is under these puddles."
