Chapter 336 The Dragon Appears
Yuan Xiao continued to walk forward along the passage. After an incense stick, he found another five flying swords falling on the ground.
Yuan Xiao picked up the flying sword, looked at it for a few times and said, "These flying swords are basically low-grade flying swords, only one is a medium-grade flying sword. From this, it can be judged that they may have been left by the 10 exploration monks before. There are many scratches and bite marks on the flying sword, which are probably left after fighting with the three fire lions just now."
"What about these people?" Fairy Yuan asked worriedly after hearing this. In fact, she could already guess the result.
"Maybe all 10 cultivators have died. The three fire lions just now are all in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. It is estimated that it is difficult for them to escape. At present, a total of 7 flying swords have been picked up, which means at least 7 people have died. After all, the sword is there when the person is alive, and the sword is lost when the person dies!"
"This is how immortal cultivation is. It is full of risks. Those who step into immortal cultivation are mentally prepared. No one knows whether they can see the sun tomorrow. Let's continue to move forward and find Grandpa Yuan!"
"Besides, if we think positively, the remaining 3 cultivators may be safe. Maybe they have special magic weapons or concealment formations to avoid the disaster of the fire lion. Maybe they are just hiding now." Yuan Xiao said.
"Then why haven't we met them yet?" asked Fairy Yuan.
"This passage is teleported by a one-way teleportation array, and there is no way to retreat. So no matter how dangerous the front is, they can only explore forward to find a way out. So if they are still alive, they will definitely continue to explore forward."
"Unless they reach a certain place that is too dangerous and they cannot get through it with their strength, they will be stuck there and stagnate."
"Grandpa Yuan and Senmu came in to find them, and this passage is the only main road. In addition, there are only some cracks on the cave wall. Although they can temporarily hide, they are not passages. All of them can only keep going forward along the main passage. If there are still people alive, Grandpa Yuan will definitely meet them."
"If the passage ahead is still unchanged, I guess Grandpa Yuan and Musen have found the remaining survivors, but they still can't find a way out, or they are stuck somewhere together because of a problem."
When Fairy Yuan heard Yuanxiao say that Grandpa might be trapped somewhere ahead, she immediately cheered up and walked side by side with Yuanxiao.
After walking for another stick of incense, the temperature of the passage suddenly rose. Yuan Xiao estimated that from here on, she had entered another kind of monster's territory.
As expected, Xiao Jin, who was exploring the way, suddenly screamed to warn, and then saw two fire scorpions flying quickly.
Yuan Xiao quickly made a judgment: the flying monster that has not yet transformed is most likely a Yuanying stage monster, but since it ranks behind the fire lion in the early Yuanying stage, it may be a Yuanying mid-to-late stage or even a Yuanying Great Perfection.
Fortunately, these ordinary monsters that have not transformed cannot teleport yet, otherwise it would be much more difficult to deal with.
Human cultivators can master teleportation after the Yuanying stage. For demon cultivators, it is not enough to just reach the Yuanying stage, and they must transform before they can master teleportation.
"Sister Yuan, step back!"
"Xiao Jin and Xiao Huang, you two and the golden beetle team up to deal with the red fire scorpion on the left, and leave the dark red one on the right to me!" Yuan Xiao ordered.
After that, he activated the three-layer shield, used the flash escape technique, and flashed in front of the dark red fire scorpion on the right, and punched it. The fire scorpion reacted very quickly, and opened the big pincers of its right claw, and clamped Yuanxiao's left fist at once.
Fortunately, Yuanxiao deliberately used his left fist to test, and the real killer move was the right fist, which had already hit the head of the fire scorpion.
The fire scorpion clamped with its big pincers, and it was originally thought that it could crush Yuanxiao's fist, but it was unexpected that it was like clamping a diamond bean, and it couldn't clamp it at all. It was immediately horrified. This abominable boy is so strong in body training? Much stronger than the two of us!
At the same time, Yuanxiao's right fist had already hit the head of the dark red fire scorpion, and it smashed its head to the ground, and even smashed a small pit on the ground.
The fire scorpion was indeed not seriously injured, but it was indeed dizzy from being hit. In a trance, Yuanxiao had already grabbed his tail and swung it up like a meteor hammer, smashing it to the ground again and again, leaving a hole on the ground every time!
The dark red fire scorpion was about to cry, this boy is really not a human! I just clamped you with my pincers, and I didn't break it, but you smashed me like a meteor hammer, the King of Hell is not as cruel as you, the ground of this passage is all stone, but you smashed a hole with my body!
On the other side, the red fire scorpion was quite majestic at first, just a spirit pet and a group of insects, what great ability can it have, only the big flying tiger is worth watching.
As a result, when the fight started, I realized that I was wrong!
The big flying tiger is not worth watching, but worth watching a hundred times. My big pincers can't break the other person's big claws at all. Before the spikes of my tail pierced the other party, it was swept by the other party's tiger tail whip and immediately fell down powerlessly.
The seemingly cute little golden mink cut off the spikes on its tail in one go, and scratched its face after it came back around. I couldn't catch a single hair of it.
The only golden beetle I could catch was a bunch of scoundrels. They crawled all over my body and gnawed at me, even at my private parts. I was so scared. I caught a few of them and almost broke my pincers!
So it cried too. I quit. I want to go home!
Xiao Jin suddenly screamed to warn, and Yuan Xiao also felt a strong pressure coming at him, which was definitely not the kind of pressure he could resist.
A golden light flashed in the passage, and a five-clawed golden dragon appeared out of thin air. With just a slight wave of its claws, it pushed Yuan Xiao, Xiao Jin, Xiao Huang and more than fifty golden beetles back together.
"You two little beasts, why don't you get out of here!" The golden dragon spoke in human language and scolded the two fire scorpions.
The two fire scorpions, who were crying bitterly, fled as if they had been pardoned. They found the cracks in their nests and hid in them obediently, never daring to come out again.
"My friend, I am Tunyun, a descendant of the ancient dragon clan. Do you have time to talk to me?" said Shenlong Tunyun.
"Fellow Daoist Shenlong, you can talk as much as you want. There are no outsiders here! I am Yuanxiao from the Golden Sect of Song State." Yuan Xiao said, stretched out his hand to pull the somewhat panicked Yuan Fairy behind him, patted her hand, and signaled not to worry.
"Okay, friend Yuan, do you know where this place is?" Shenlong Tunyun said.
"Please teach me!"
"This is actually a trial passage now. There are monsters from the foundation-building stage to the Mahayana stage. The further you go, the stronger the monsters you encounter will be. A long time ago, humans, monsters, and demons could come here. Now the owner of the passage has changed, and the rules have changed." Shenlong said.
"Now the people who come to the trial are mainly monsters, because this passage is now in the hands of the monsters. Occasionally, humans or demons come in, but these people either come in by mistake or are driven in to be punished. They usually die somewhere in this passage, because they will always encounter monsters stronger than you later!"
"Is there no exit at the other end of the passage?" Yuanxiao asked.
