The Great Wild God - Chapter 143
Chapter 143 Forbidden Cave
Chen Xun calmly watched as Lou Yaoyi and Lou Yaozi borrowed the dense forest to cover their departure. He felt that Qianlan’s small hands, which he was holding in his palms, were gradually becoming cold. He turned around and saw that the little girl’s beautiful eyes were filled with killing intent.
When Lou Shiyi and Lou Yao arrived, Qianlan gradually restrained the killing intent in her eyes. However, she said angrily to Chen Xun, “After Master specifically instructed us to break out, we split up and rush to Canglan to report the news. We were afraid that half of Mystical Frost Sect would ambush us and be unable to send the news back to Canglan. I didn’t expect that their first thought would be to kill me and silence me.”
Chen Xun spread out his hands. If it weren’t for him rushing to Jade Pillar Peak, Qianlan would definitely not have escaped from Lou Yaoyi’s vicious hands if she had suffered heavy injuries from the Green Wolf when breaking through the encirclement.
“What should we do now?” Qianlan entered Su Lingyin’s sect and focused on her cultivation. She hadn’t experienced much hardship in the world, so she was at a loss when facing the current predicament.
“Ignore it.” Chen Xun said.
Qianlan’s mood was inexplicably complicated. No matter how ignorant she was, she could still clearly see the current situation.
Lou Yiyi, Lou Yao turned around to find her to silence her, which confirmed that Qing Yangzi and the Gui Xi Tribe had problems.
The fact that Qing Yangzi had fallen into the valley and suffered heavy injuries was just a cover-up.
It was possible that Qing Yangzi’s injuries weren’t as severe as they appeared on the surface. It was also possible that even though Qing Yangzi was seriously injured, he had already prepared a sacred medicine to treat his injuries and could recover to the Heaven Origin Realm at any time.
Lou Shiyi, Lou Yao’s trip to Canglan must be in cooperation with Mystical Frost Sect, wanting to trick a few more experts from the Academy into falling into a trap and killing them.
The current crisis was no longer something that she had the ability to change, but it was absolutely impossible for her to abandon Su Lingyin, Zuoqiu, Zongya, Gu Jianfeng, and the others and escape alone.
Moreover, if she could endure Xin Xiu’s hand and leave, not to mention that she would not be able to return to the Academy in the future, even the Left Thorn Division would not be able to do so.
“Do you have any tokens that only Su Tang recognizes?” Qianlan gritted her teeth and asked Chen Xun.
Chen Xun saw that Qianlan was determined to return to Canglan alone. He shook his head and said, “Even if you can say that the Su Clan believes that Qing Yangzi has betrayed the Academy, it cannot save everyone from Yu Zhu Peak.”
“Why?” Qianlan asked in confusion.
“For the Su Clan at this time, what was worse than Qing Yangzi and Yu Yao Master Ancestor dying at the same time was that Yu Yao Master Ancestor dying, while Qing Yangzi betrayed Xuanhan Sect. The former meant that the Su Clan lost two Heavenly Yuan Realm experts, while the latter meant that the Su Clan not only lost two Heavenly Yuan Realm experts, but also added another Heavenly Yuan Realm expert to the Profound Frost Sect, “Chen Xun said.” The Su Clan truly understood the current crisis in Yuzhu Peak, and with their urinary nature, they were more likely to choose to throw away their cars to protect their marshals and completely give up on rescuing everyone from Yuzhu Peak. ”
“What if the Academy doesn’t know the truth, is lured by Lou Yiyi, and rashly breaks into the trap set by the Profound Frost Sect?” Qianlan asked.
Chen Xun said, “The Academy is still standing still. This means that they have realized the strange situation. It is definitely not something that Lou Shiyi can deceive by rushing back with a few words. Even if we want to find the Su Clan to explain the situation clearly, we still need to wait for the reinforcements from the Su Clan to arrive at Yuzhu Peak. We can’t scare them away in advance …”
Hearing Chen Xun’s words, Qianlan knew that there were some things she really couldn’t do urgently.
Chen Xun sighed in his heart when he saw that Qianlan had regained some confidence.
Even if the Su Clan could send one or two Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Yuan Realm over, they might not be able to resolve the danger of the Jade Pillar Peak.
He didn’t care about the lives of the people in the College. He also knew that once the group of beasts completely captured the defensive array of the canyon, the divine wolf level 1 exotic beasts would definitely target Su Qingfeng, Su Lingyin, Gu Jianfeng, Zong Ya, Tie Xintong, and the others.
What he needed to do now was to prepare for Gu Jianfeng and Zong Ya to break out of the encirclement.
Qianlan was too simple-minded. She had feelings for her master, Su Lingyin, and most likely would not abandon Su Lingyin and become an only child. Chen Xun was not in a hurry to reveal his plans for the time being.
*******************
Chen Xun and Qianlan directly climbed over Jade Pillar Peak and sneaked over to the cliff above the valley on the northern slope.
It was unknown how many green wolves and exotic beasts had gathered within twenty to thirty kilometers of the western slope. Chen Xun and Qianlan had climbed over the Jade Pillar Peak as if they had entered an uninhabited realm.
Along the way, there were only thirty to fifty packs of green wolves roaming in the dense forest. Even if Chen Xun didn’t have a top-grade talisman artifact like the Soul Chasing Seal, it would be as easy as crossing the gap between the sentinel wolves.
Qianlan didn’t care if she was clean or not. She knew that she was going to hide at Jade Pillar Peak. She had to wait for reinforcements from the Su Clan to arrive and tell the truth. She and Chen Xun couldn’t reveal any tricks. They couldn’t let the green wolves wandering all over the mountain discover anything unusual. She also followed Chen Xun’s example and peeled off the wolf’s skin from a dead wolf and draped it around her body.
The cliff was more than a thousand meters tall, and Chen Xun had jumped down with Su Tang in his arms, luring the evil ape to death.
The cliff was originally a huge rock that was more than ten feet long, but now, it was as if it had been cut off by some divine weapon, leaving behind only a smooth cross-section that was as smooth as a mirror.
The trees and stones within a hundred feet of him were all shattered into powder, unable to see their original appearance.
It could be seen that Qing Yangzi was pretending to be ambushed by the Profound Frost Sect here. However, Yu Yaozi was lured to jump down the valley with him. The ferocious beast trapped in the Lonely Cliff Stone Pillar released lightning bolts and heavily injured him.
At that time, there should have been other experts in the Academy, such as Su Lingyin, Su Qingfeng, and the others present, so that no one from the Mysterious Frost Sect had the chance to completely kill Yu Yaozi.
Cang Lan was already in the beginning of spring. The wasteland outside Jade Pillar Peak was no longer cold. The ice and snow were gradually melting. The temperature in the valley was even higher. The grass slopes by the river had colorful flowers blooming, and the spring was melting.
If it weren’t for the heaven-shaking roars of beasts and birds on the western slope, and the saber light and sword qi that shot into the air from time to time, anyone would have been transformed by the unique spring aura that appeared in the valley.
“Eh …”
Qianlan and Chen Xun moved from the cliff to the dense forest to the west. They didn’t want Chen Xun to suddenly stop, and their faces revealed doubts.
“What’s the matter?” Qianlan asked.
“The pack of wolves surrounded the entrance of the canyon and the stone cliffs on both sides of the canyon. The cliff in the southeast corner was guarded by two beasts. How could there be an opening in the northeast corner?” At this moment, Chen Xun and Qianlan climbed three thousand meters into the forest and saw the situation on the western slope of Jade Pillar Peak at a glance.
“Master guessed that the exotic beast must have forced us to retreat to this valley,” Qianlan said. “But the lightning bolt released by the stone pillar, even the two Supreme Elders, were seriously injured. Naturally, no one dared to retreat this way. No one knows if the ferocious beast in the stone pillar would have any other profound spells other than the lightning bolt released by the lightning bolt.”
“That’s right,” Chen Xun said. “There are still stone cliffs on both sides of the canyon. If we retreat to the valley and lean against the Death Stone Pillar, we won’t be able to fight this battle anymore.”
“Then what should we do?” Qianlan asked.
Chen Xun rubbed his nose and said, “Four years ago, when Su Tang and I touched the Jade Pillar Peak, we carefully avoided the nests of those exotic beasts. Thus, we didn’t move much in the Jade Pillar Peak. Now is a rare opportunity. We have to walk around twice …”
The terrain of Jade Pillar Peak was very peculiar, and its spiritual energy gathering was far superior to other places. It should be related to the secret cave hidden beneath the Lonely Cliff Stone Pillar.
However, four years ago, he and Su Tang did not dare to look for spiritual herbs in places where spiritual energy gathered, because they were afraid of accidentally entering the nest of a tyrannical exotic beast.
With such dense spiritual energy, there would naturally be plenty of spiritual medicines in the Jade Pillar Peak.
Back then, apart from the Stone Snake Lotus, Chen Xun and Su Tang had found several stalks of Wu Yuzhi in the Jade Pillar Peak. Su Tang had borrowed Wu Yuzhi to gradually recover to the peak of the True Yang Realm before they left the Wilderness.
At this moment, all the tyrannical exotic beasts in the mountain had gathered on the western slope to attack the people of the Academy. For Chen Xun, there was no better chance to search for Jade Pillar Peak than now.
The perfection of his fleshly body was too far away to reach, so Chen Xun placed more of his hopes of advancing to the Reincarnation Realm on the Nine Revolutions Golden Core.
Apart from the two main ingredients of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, the other sixteen ingredients were all between the second and third grade. Chen Xun thought to himself that he might be able to find a few ingredients in the Jade Pillar Peak.
In addition, when Gu Jianfeng, Zong Ya, and the others broke out of the encirclement, they would surely run out of food and medicinal pills.
Although Chen Xun had two to three hundred spirit pills in his bag, if he and Qianlan were alone, they would be able to last for more than ten days.
If Gu Jianfeng and the others were to break out of the encirclement and need the help of the two of them, even two to three hundred spirit pills might not be able to last for two to three days.
Chen Xun also wanted to seize this opportunity to gather more medicinal herbs in case he was in a hurry from time to time.
It was also extremely important to thoroughly understand the terrain of Jade Pillar Peak and create conditions for breaking out of the encirclement.
For two consecutive days, Chen Xun and Qianlan carefully avoided the wandering sentinel wolves in the mountains and searched through the desolate beast nest, Shi Zhi, Azure Flame Stone, and other miraculous herbs and spirit items that he had never dared to enter so easily in the past, so as to find a better one for him.
“Ah, these are all thousand-year-old black vines!” Chen Xun and the other two sneaked under a stone cliff. Several dark and smooth tree vines hung down from the cliff. Qianlan recognized this as a third-grade spirit medicine with a vine stalk that could refine top-grade talismans.
Chen Xun stretched out his hand and pulled. The roots of several black vines were all deep into the cliff, and the black vines themselves were extremely tough. It was impossible for him to pull out these black vines without alarming the few sentinel wolves that wandered two miles away.
Chen Xun regretfully waited to give up and accidentally discovered that there was a cave entrance hidden in the depths of the bushes on the left.
Strong and tyrannical exotic beasts were gathered on the western slope to surround the people of the College. This place was thirty to fifty kilometers away from the western slope, and it was also separated by the Jade Pillar Peak. Chen Xun and Qianlan naturally would enter every cave.
Chen Xun and Qianlan took out the Soul Pursuing Seal and scanned the cave without the aura of a desolate beast. Then, they drilled into the cave and sealed the entrance of the cave, which was no taller than anyone else, with huge boulders. They slowly searched inside.
The entrance of the cave was extremely short, but after walking two to three hundred meters, the cave gradually became spacious, and stalactites hung upside down from the top of the cave.
Ordinary caves were supposed to be cold and humid, but Chen Xun and Qianlan felt a warmth coming from the depths of the cave when they were in this cave.
It could be seen that desolate beasts often appeared in this cave. Claw marks were left on the hard stone walls. Some spirit herbs only left roots and flower branches that were eaten away.
Chen Xun and Qianlan zigzagged for nearly twenty kilometers before they reached the end of the cave. They lit up the sickle and illuminated the green and black stone walls. The stone walls were covered in dark purple moss grass, and dense spiritual energy gathered and did not disperse.
Qianlan poured a little purple moss into her mouth and said in surprise, “This is really the Crimson Sun Grass. It has actually grown into a deep purple color …”
The Pharmacopoeia recorded that the Crimson Sun Grass had only grown for a thousand years and was scarlet red like blood. No one had seen the dark purple Crimson Sun Grass before.
The Crimson Sun Grass was classified as a first-grade spirit medicine by the Pharmacopoeia. However, the Crimson Sun Grass in front of him had grown for thousands of years, and its medicinal properties were probably purer and denser than those of a second or third-grade spirit medicine.
However, what made Chen Xun even more puzzled was that desolate beasts had barged in from the first half of this cave that was nearly twenty kilometers deep. However, there were very few traces of desolate beasts entering and leaving the second half of this cave. At the end of this cave, these Crimson Sun Grass hadn’t been eaten by desolate beasts for thousands of years. It seemed that the depths of this cave were the same as the Lonely Cliff Stone. It was a forbidden place for desolate beasts in Jade Pillar Peak.
