The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Chapter 11 The Name of Cao Rui

The aroma coming from the large cave fills your nose.

Cao Rui gradually felt drowsy.

The inner power of operation has only recovered slightly.

This fragrance obviously contains special toxins.

It can drive fish crazy and humans into abnormal situations.

The fish that jumped ashore are still jumping and squirming crazily towards the large cave.

The entire central cave was quickly filled with fish.

Rustling, there was a subtle friction sound coming from the large cave, as if something terrible was about to come out of it.

"run!"

Without hesitation, Cao Rui turned around and got into the small cave he came out of before.

At least this cave was one he had personally determined to be safe.

Seeing this, Zhang Xian on one side also followed.

The remaining handyman disciples also chose different directions in the cave to escape.

After thinking for a moment, the dwarf handyman actually chose to follow Cao Rui and hide in the small cave together.

However, he was still a step slow.

Cao Rui jumped into the cave and looked back while running.

Then he saw a long tentacle protruding from the large cave. The mouthparts on it split open and swallowed the dwarf handyman in one mouthful.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Cao Rui was sweating from behind, and his steps were three points faster.

At the same time, Cao Rui quickly clicked on the experience bead of Zhishui Jue with his mind.

Buzz!

Buzz!

Purple experience points poured into Cao Rui's mind twice in a row.

The body changes like a Shui Shui Jue that has been practiced thousands of times.

Second floor!

The third floor!

Practice successfully!

The internal strength in Cao Rui's body began to grow rapidly, and he already had seven or eight years of skill while running.

The new internal energy surged into his legs, and Cao Rui's feet doubled in speed!

"No! Save me!"

Zhang Xian's shout came from behind.

Cao Rui turned his head slightly and looked out of the corner of his eye, just in time to see Zhang Xian being swallowed by the tentacles.

Cao Rui ducked his head and ran away.

After the tentacle swallowed Zhang Xian, it quickly chased after Cao Rui.

At the critical moment, Cao Rui reached the end of the cave, behind the withered bones.

Cao Rui turned around, took out his dagger and decided to fight the tentacle monster to the death.

But I saw this tentacled monster suddenly stopped in front of the withered bones.

A sharp roar came from the tentacle monster's mouthparts.

Only then did Cao Rui see the full picture of this tentacle monster.

It is about one and a half meters in diameter, and the mouthparts at the front are split in an octagonal shape.

The long body has no end in sight, making people speculate that this tentacle is just a part of the body.

Cao Rui tensed up and faced the tentacled monster head-on.

Obviously there is only a few meters away, and Cao Rui can be dealt with by moving forward slightly.

But it began to retreat, speeding up, and disappeared from Cao Rui's eyes.

"What kind of monster is this?"

"Monster? Why is it more like a Cthulhu monster?"

Cao Rui's eyes were on the withered bones of the immortal cultivator in front of him.

"There is a high probability that this monster has a lot to do with this immortal cultivator."

"Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain that the monster just did not dare to cross this withered skeleton."

Cao Rui shook his head and refused to speculate on the relationship between the bones and the monster.

"With the terrifying strength of that monster, I'm afraid all the handyman disciples outside have been devoured."

"Maybe I'm the only survivor?"

Cao Rui sniffed, "The faint fragrance in the air seems to be fading."

"Does it mean that the monster has retreated back into the cave?"

Cao Rui thought for a moment and looked at Dry Bones: "I have offended my senior."

Cao Rui grabbed the dead bones and placed them in front of him, then walked outside.

Not to mention, the bones of immortal cultivators are just different, full of weight and not easy to fall apart.

Holding the withered bones of the immortal cultivator in front of him as a shield, Cao Rui walked out along the small cave.

Not long after, they arrived near the central cave.

Cao Rui carefully leaned out to check.

A pile of new bones have appeared in the central cave, including fish and human bones. They should have been vomited out by the monster just now.

As that special scent dissipates.

There are no longer fish coming from the cave river.

Now is a good time to run out.

Cao Rui thought for a while, put the withered bones aside, took out Ming Yugong and carried it on his back carefully.

...

outside world.

The fish that boiled in instantly quickly dispersed after a short time.

Yang Ping saw this scene with her own eyes, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of heaven-defying treasure there was in the cave below.

Half an hour later.

There is still no handyman disciple returning below.

Yang Ping frowned, put her hand on the hilt of the sword, and had a bad feeling in her heart.

Several more hours passed, but there was still no movement at all.

Elder Wu Qingshu came to the bow deck again at some unknown time.

"It seems that the level of danger down there is still beyond our imagination."

"Next time, we have to avoid the special time period when fish gather, and then send the handyman disciples in to investigate."

Yang Ping took a deep breath, "Elder, don't you think this is too unfair to the handyman disciples?"

Wu Qingshu smiled: "The handyman disciples are nothing more than consumables. The Luoshui Gang said they are recruiting handyman disciples. I don't know how many people want to squeeze in."

"Yang Ping, you are a woman after all. You are too indecisive. You are already a protector. The superior must have the considerations of the superior."

"The consumables that should be used should be used decisively."

Yang Ping was speechless.

"Send a few people to guard here, and then go back."

"Yes, sir."

Yang Ping bowed and saluted, turned around and looked at the calm lake again. Did the group of errand disciples really stay down there?

What exactly is the scene down there?

The building ship started its return journey, leaving a few gang members to stay nearby to guard, waiting for the next gathering of errand disciples to go down and explore again.

The gang members stayed near the island reef.

At first, they were a little curious about the gathering of fish every two days under the island reef.

After half a month, they had completely lost interest.

The news that no errand disciple went back last time spread in the gang, and it would take time to gather the errand disciples again.

So the island reef gradually calmed down.

That day.

A young man's head suddenly popped out from the calm lake.

The young man looked for a direction and quickly swam in one direction.

The gang members who were guarding around were drinking and playing cards boredly, and did not notice the young man at all.

Cao Rui swam for a long time, and saw a fishing boat, so he grabbed the edge of the boat and pulled himself up.

Cao Rui suddenly climbed out of the water and scared the fisherman.

Cao Rui directly put a dagger against the fisherman's neck, "Don't say anything, send me to shore."

The fisherman nodded repeatedly.

The oars were turned, and the fishing boat moved closer to the shore.

Cao Rui searched on the fishing boat and changed into a dry cloth shirt and cloth shoes.

"The Luoshui Gang probably thought I was dead."

"That's good, so I'll officially start a new journey as Cao Rui." Cao Rui looked at the town approaching and whispered in his heart.
