Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 166 Tower 16
Each floor of the wooden tower has a time limit. Once the time is up, the operating rules of the secret realm will destroy this floor.

There was an explanation for the growing waves and winds on the sixth floor, the monks fleeing in panic, and the monks from the Wanjian Sect who came to help.

After completing the last piece of the puzzle of the rules, Wei Xi decided to continue to squeeze the surplus value out of Jin Can.

"Friend Wei, we shouldn't stay in the tunnel for long. Jin Can's mood has stabilized a lot... Should we hurry on?"

Jin Can could hug his fellow disciples and cry silently, but Ge Cang could not leave his five teammates alone.

After all, this is still a game, and it is a surprise that Jin Can was not killed now.

The few of them didn't hesitate, symbolically dusted off the dust on their bodies, and continued crawling in the tunnel.

Although this section of the tunnel was still low, it was at least wide enough for people to crawl side by side. Jin Can was pushed to the front, and Qin Feng, the strongest fighter in the team, walked alongside him.

"Wei Xi," Feng Xiaotian whispered, "I cast a spell on that kid. If he moves..."

He only said half of the words, but the meaning was very clear. Although Feng Xiaotian's words were a bit clumsy, he was not stupid, so he naturally had to be on guard.

Telling Wei Xi also means that he agrees in his heart that she is the leader of this temporary team.

Wei Xi doesn't play the gentleman game: Qin Feng is reliable, but no one hates having multiple options.

Jin Can was slow at first, but Qin Feng's few words made him want to cry again. His fellow disciples remained silent, and he slowly realized that he had become a prisoner.

There was no point in begging for mercy. Several people were determined to go to the hall where the stairs might be hidden. Jin Can had no choice but to accept his fate and lead the way honestly.

After the time limit for each level was introduced, the whole team became nervous without Wei Xi saying anything.

Yun Qing couldn't bring herself to say anything, and could only say a few anxious words.

Lian Gouqie is not like that, he has many tricks up his sleeve!
Jin Can crawled a little slower, so Lian Gou Xie stabbed him twice with the handle of his knife. His position was also convenient, and after stabbing him a few times, the team's crawling speed was significantly improved.

They soon arrived at the hall. Jin Can quickly stood up, covering his butt, and stood against the wall with a look of fear on his face.

Lian Gouqie followed him into the hall, looked at the dishonest boy, and shook the silver needle in his hand twice.

After all, they are still rivals who will fight to the death. Considering the face of the sect, the one who stabs Jin Can is the one with the knife.

Wei Xi was quite cautious. He watched at the entrance for a while before entering the underground hall through the tunnel.

As his hunched body stretched out, Wei Xi's vision returned to normal.

This is a spacious hall with four entrances and exits. It looks pitch black at first glance, so I think it is a tunnel.

The walls were not made of mud bricks as Wei Xi had guessed, but were made of compacted earth, just like the tunnel.

There was nothing strange except some neatly arranged grooves on the ground.

There were no corpses of monks in the hall, but there were a lot of bloodstains on the ground and walls. Regardless of whether they were the monks of the Huaixin Sect that Jin Can mentioned, it verified one thing.

The tunnels are not safe, and there are dangers hidden in the crisscrossing tunnels.

Combining Jin Can's information with the clues he found in the tunnel, Wei Xi had a guess in his mind.

This layer is a big ant nest, which contains monster ants that can tear apart foundation-building cultivators.

"Miss Yun," Wei Xi, who knew nothing about monsters, immediately sought help. "Is there any monster related to ants that can suppress a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

"Ants?" Yun Qing dumped out all the relevant knowledge. "There are many different types of insects, so fighting alone is not advantageous."

"Especially ants. Regardless of their species, they all primarily use group attacks. The only differences between species are their tactics. Ordinary beastmasters won't spend a lot of effort taming or contracting ants. Even if they do raise them, they feed them to other spirit beasts."

The way of the sky is more than damage but not enough to make up for.

There were so many ants in the nest that if even one percent of them could suppress a Foundation Establishment cultivator individually, the balance would be disrupted. After a moment's thought, the people present felt something was amiss.

Sensing the gazes of several people, especially the gloomy stare of the man holding the needle, Jin Can hurriedly said, "I'm not lying! Bo Sanbao was really killed by ants... Ge Cang? You have to believe me! I really didn't lie!"

Ge Cang hesitated for a moment, his eyes shifting between his teammates and fellow disciples, feeling very embarrassed.

Seeing that Wei Xi didn't say anything, she pursed her lips and said, "Miss Yun... think about it again. Is there any other possibility? Jin Can looks like this..."

The Zhongzhou Yun family, which started out as a beast taming family, attached great importance to the basic skills of their children. Yun Qing thought about it and a hint of hesitation appeared on her face.

"Either these ants have gotten something, or some of them have absorbed spiritual energy. Over time, their cultivation has skyrocketed. Although they cannot form a pill, it is not impossible for the monsters to suppress the cultivators with the same cultivation level and eliminate some of them..."

Wei Xiben didn't think Jin Can was lying about this matter. After all, the ground was covered with bloodstains of varying degrees of dryness.

No matter how many words are said, there is no physical evidence to convince people.

Now that Yun Qing pointed out two new paths, she followed them.

Wei Xi thought the latter was more likely, as it could also be confirmed by the ants Lingyin ate. However, the last secret realm she had stayed in was somewhat uncanny, and she still had red threads on her body from there.

This made her hesitate: if there really was something in the secret realm of the wooden tower, and it was obtained by these ants, then it would be more than just a monster.

Wei Xi hesitated for a rare moment, fearing that he would cause more trouble.

"The method is a bit unusual," Feng Xiaotian said with interest, "but they'll be embarrassed if someone dies in the sect competition, so what's there to be afraid of?"

After saying this, Yun Qing agreed, fearing that she would not enjoy the experience to the fullest.

It just so happened that Wei Xi and the other two had to advance, and Ge Cang was also fooled into thinking about a good ranking.

However, these words made Wei Xi feel more at ease: since Zhenhai Sect dared to take it out, it meant that the danger was under control.

Moreover, the most deadly thing is not the difficult secret realm, but the monks of various sects who have endless methods and very diverse mental states.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, how did you disturb those ants?"

"I... I don't know... maybe Senior Brother Lin led the team to do something in the hall!"

Wei Xi couldn't count on this frightened monk, so she changed the way she asked questions and started from the beginning.

"Did you enter the seventh floor through a tunnel? Was it far from this hall? What did you encounter along the way?"

"Yes! It's not far. I climbed for a quarter of an hour. There's nothing strange about it."

"What did you see when you entered the hall?"

"Nothing." Jin Can didn't understand why this fellow from the Qingcheng Sect asked this, but he answered honestly, "It's just an empty hall!"

"Where is Senior Brother Lin standing?" "Northeast corner."

……

The questions Wei Xi asked sounded irrelevant. Yun Qing was very anxious, and Ge Cang was also a little confused.

Lian Gou Xie, on the other hand, had a playful expression on his face, and he never forgot his brothers when good things happened. He whispered to Qin Feng to study hard, but he didn't even get a cold eye in return.

Wei Xi seemed not to notice his teammates' gazes and posed the next question, "Where is the jar?"

"Number two..." Jin Can swallowed his words, with surprise and regret frozen on his face.
