Chapter 685 The troops are divided into two groups
"Fu Qingzhou, are you really willing to let Rong Yu explore the deep pit alone?"

While sneaking, Hua Xiaolan asked in a low voice.

Fu Qingzhou smiled at her: "In fact, since he was willing to go deep into the bottom of the tiankeng and join us, there is no reason not to trust him."

"Humph..." Hua Xiaolan smiled coldly: "You are still willing to trust others as usual."

"Don't mock me."

Fu Qingzhou rolled his eyes at her and said, "My methods now are much more evil than before. Besides, I didn't stop you when you planted the Gu in him."

"Yes, yes, you have great compassion in your heart, but you have a sinister plan in your heart." Hua Xiaolan smiled sideways and said, "If you hadn't made that suggestion to Elder Ma, Rong Yu wouldn't have done such a thing."

Fu Qingzhou smiled wryly: "That's boring. If Huijue really wants to cause trouble, does he need a plan I made up casually?"

The two of them suddenly started bickering, and Lin Wangshu was stunned for a moment: "You two, you must not quarrel among yourselves at this time..."

"Master Lin, you are worrying too much." Hua Xiaolan smiled sweetly: "Let's just chat casually."

Fu Qingzhou nodded: "Yes, she is my sister-in-law, how could I possibly quarrel with her?"

Hua Xiaolan: “?”

"Okay, you two, let's focus on the current mission." Lin Wangshu smiled bitterly, "Look, that cliff is full of monsters, and there are almost no gaps. Even if we have the wind and rain array to block it, it is difficult to pass through them."

Fu Qingzhou and Hua Xiaolan looked in the direction of his finger.

They had already arrived at the bottom of the waterfall that Rong Yu had mentioned before.

Before, I was far away and couldn’t see clearly, but now that I’m closer, I can see clearly.

Lin Wangshu's words "almost no gaps" illustrate the density and abundance of these monsters.

They...are almost stacked on top of each other!

These monsters clearly looked like apes or monkeys, but at this moment they were clinging to the rock wall like giant spiders. They were like stickers deliberately pasted on the wall, one layer covering another. Except for the waterfall mouth where the Yinquan water was constantly flowing out, they covered the area within a radius of dozens of feet on the wall tightly.

Fu Qingzhou and his companions are currently near the lake at the bottom of the tiankeng. They can still walk on the water and swim among the monsters.

But once you reach the cliff, it is almost an impossible task to get through those guys to the mouth of the waterfall.

"I can fly."

Lin Wangshu said: "Why not, let me go alone."

Fu Qingzhou frowned: "It's too risky. If Rong Yu dies, then he dies. Sect Leader Lin, you can't be without support. Let's try to be together."

"Master Lin, can you use the water control technique to lead us into it?" Hua Xiaolan asked.

Lin Wangshu looked around and thought for a moment before he said softly, "It's a bit difficult... I don't have much energy left in my body, and I need to maintain the operation of the Wind and Rain Formation. If I continue to fly with you two, I'm afraid I'll run out of energy."

"That's not right, Hua Xiaolan." Fu Qingzhou suddenly slapped his forehead: "Didn't you grow wings and be able to fly before?"

"No."

It was Lin Wangshu who spoke: "Miss Xiaolan's butterfly wings can only glide, and her physical condition is too bad, so she can't use magic too much."

Hua Xiaolan pouted and nodded.

Fu Qingzhou scratched his head.

"How about this?" He blinked and said, "Let's lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

……

On the other side, Rong Yu, under the cover of a small array of wind and rain, quietly approached the deep hole in the middle of the tiankeng.

The water level was getting deeper and deeper. When he was still some distance away from the center, he had already swam. While swimming, he frequently looked back and looked at the direction where Fu Qingzhou and his group were going. After confirming that they were not paying attention to him, his face began to become gradually gloomy and... hesitant.

Ever since Fu Qingzhou threatened to kill Snake Queen, Rong Yu has been constantly recalling the past, struggling between compromise and madness.

His story was actually very simple, not much different from what Fu Qingzhou had guessed before.

His qualifications are not good.

Every year, Wandu Mountain would select qualified children from the Miao village at the foot of the mountain and recruit them into the sect to be trained as outer disciples... and at that time, Rong Yu was the last one in their group.

It can even be said that if his father had not died on the front line and became a martyr of Wandu Mountain, he would not even be qualified to enter the outer gate with his qualifications for honor.

His first attempt to open his martial and spiritual orifices ended in failure, and the sect even considered letting him become an ordinary poison-preparing disciple.

Until he stole a poisonous snake egg.

He had eavesdropped on the words of the seniors in the sect and knew that if he used his own efforts to cultivate a poisonous snake, he could use the power of the poisonous snake to break through the bottleneck of the spiritual orifice and achieve considerable success in controlling snakes. However, most sects would only choose disciples with strong spiritual orifice talents to do this.

Rong Yu stole a poisonous snake egg and secretly hatched it over several months, deceiving others that the poisonous snake had found him. This gave people the impression that he had a "talent for taming snakes", and he successfully used the power of the poisonous snake to open up his spiritual orifice and enter the realm of cultivation.

Afterwards, he used the same method, stealing things secretly many times, taking many risks, and violating the sect rules many times, before he changed his qualifications little by little, and later even caught the attention of Elder Ma.

Of course, to do these things...his smiling face is indispensable.

Rong Yu is not a likable person. He has poor qualifications and great ambitions. It is difficult for a young man to hide his mentality. No one likes such a person with fierce eyes and a hypocritical smile on his face.

At that time, he only depended on Snake Queen.

During those years, Rong Yu was cursed by others and was deliberately attacked by his fellow disciples in competitions. She was the one who licked his wounds when he returned home.

When Snake Princess grows up and becomes powerful, if anyone dares to bully Rong Yu, she will stand up and fight for him.

Her nosy nature was developed at that time...

A snake's intelligence is not very high, but it knows that Rong Yu hates noise and fighting and likes to stay quiet, so when she sees something noisy, she always wants to step in.

But later on, those who had treated Rong Yu badly, hated him, despised him, and knew his background, gradually died.

Some died while trying to break through the bottleneck of cultivation, some died in battles with monsters, and some even died while picking herbs in the mountains.

Did Rong Yu do anything about it?
Maybe yes, maybe no, but it doesn’t matter anymore.

After those people died, Rong Yu had become a leader among the younger generation of Wandu Mountain. He had a high level of cultivation, excellent interpersonal relationships, and was also the direct disciple of Elder Ma. He had been fighting on the front lines, so his road ahead was smooth.

Until this time... he fell into Fu Qingzhou's hands.

"There is a secret in the memory left by the master..."

Rong Yu was stepping on the water, looking at the bottomless pit in front of him, his eyes became very deep.

"He speculated that this place actually sealed an unknown terrifying existence, and those evil spirits were just byproducts of its existence, just like the feathers that fell from a roc."

"If we bring it out, not only the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain, but the whole world will probably tremble!"

The struggle on Rong Yu's face became more and more intense: "I will die here, Snake Queen will die too, and those who want to trample us underfoot will all die too!"

"But she could have survived... I have investigated Fu Qingzhou's character. He will never go back on his word."

A few steps ahead of the deep pit, he hesitated and dived into it for a long time.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from a distance!
"I rely on!"

That was Fu Qingzhou's voice: "These ghosts are running too damn fast!"
