Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 169 Hero saves beauty
The sound is getting closer and clearer.

The five people curled up in the jar held their breath and waited in the darkness for their monster to approach.

The hook-shaped patterns on the wall of the pot were the most comfortable. The painting made him blend into the pottery pot. The texture of the clay was hundreds of times stronger than any other stone, and it gave him little sense of pressure.

Therefore, he became the first person in the team to come into contact with these fiery red mutant ants.

If it were Yun Qing, she would recognize that these ants with fiery red bodies and octagonal antennae were a kind of extremely expansive monster in Nanjiang. Many tribes in the hills and mountains of Nanjiang have a history of domesticating this kind of ants. The locals call their population "Kefawei", which corresponds to "red locusts" in the Ju dialect.

Lian Gou Xie just felt that this thing was really big. No wonder it could tear apart a cultivator who was in the foundation-building stage. This physique had laid a good foundation.

A team of shelled creatures taller and stronger than adult men entered Hall 2. Their octagonal tentacles kept probing the air, trying to confirm that the surrounding environment was safe.

Just as Wei Xi had guessed, the vision of this team of Ke Fawei had deteriorated in the underground world. They had no idea that these jars had been touched, and the spiritual liquid covered up the smell of the monks, so the monsters became porters in a daze.

Wei Xi in the jar gritted her teeth and endured. The spiritual energy in the spiritual liquid was too rich. It penetrated directly into her Qi Palace through her skin and flesh, impacting her thin Qi Palace walls. The spiritual energy that could not be contained was running around in her bones, making her very uncomfortable.

The only satisfying thing was that she could feel the jars being moved. Lian Gouyue told her through talismans that the monsters were moving the jars, and all the jars where the team was hiding were moved.

Things were progressing, and Wei Xi could only continue to endure the impact of spiritual energy.

Every profession has its own expertise. The Kefawei moved very fast in the tunnel, and the jar did not affect their speed at all.

According to Wei Xi's inference, these ants are the ladder to the seventh floor of the secret wooden tower, and it is the nature of ants to move supplies to high places.

The grooves on the ground only serve to fix the tunnel. As the tunnel becomes more and more moist, these monsters, driven by their nature, will naturally climb upwards carrying the precious spiritual liquid.

This also saves the effort of running around in the tunnel, killing two birds with one stone.

However, while Wei Xi was being hit by the spiritual energy, he kept calculating the time. Why did it take so long for these monsters to move?
The original plan was for Lian Gouqie, who was acting as a secret sentry, to communicate with Wei Xi. However, as time had passed, Wei Xi was worried that something might happen to Lian Gouqie, so he contacted him through talismans.

Gouqie replied "wait".

Before Wei Xi could react, she could feel the movement on the talisman again, and her fingers followed suit, drawing in the spiritual fluid.

It's the character "捌", why is it so complicated to make a character with a hook and a stroke?
The next moment, Wei Xi suddenly thought: Could it be that these ants are leading them to climb on the eighth floor?

Wei Xi couldn't see the situation outside now, so there was no point in being anxious. He could only wait patiently for news.

About a quarter of an hour later, Wei Xi felt the movement on the talisman again, which was the character "九".

Wei Xi was horrified. She originally thought that these ants would only move them to the eighth floor, but she never expected that these ants could reach the ninth floor.

After all, the first few levels are each a small world, and we are afraid of favoring cultivators with certain attributes.

Before Wei Xi could figure out anything, she felt a violent vibration. It was clearly those monsters crawling on the rugged terrain!

Wei Xi held on to the wall of the jar and had to endure the spiritual energy running around in his body. It was really uncomfortable.

Perhaps the journey was too rugged, and the next time Lian Gouqie sent a message, the interval was significantly longer. Wei Xi, who was dizzy from the shaking, only received the word "ten".

At this time, the other people in the team also noticed that something was wrong, and they all confirmed the situation with Wei Xi. Unfortunately, since Lian Gou's ability could not be exposed, Wei Xi had to comfort them and tell them to stay calm.

However, Wei Xi did not feel lucky. Used to being unlucky, she believed that reason was far better than something as illusory as luck.

The carrying capacity of these shell micro-machines far exceeded expectations, which only made Wei Xi feel vaguely uneasy.

This uneasiness reached its peak when Lian Gouqie brought the news of the thirteenth level.

At this moment, Wei Xi felt that the spiritual liquid enveloping her had abnormal fluctuations, as if caused by some huge fluctuation of spiritual power.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Xi was twisted hard through the talisman.

This was the agreed signal that there was an opponent, and Lian Gou Xie, the one who drew the talisman, directly notified all members of the team.

The team members instantly became more alert, but the shock caused by the spiritual power they mobilized was amplified by the spiritual liquid in the jar and transmitted outward.

Oops! Wei Xi felt the vibration caused by the spiritual power nearby and immediately restrained his breath.

Before the monster carrying the jar noticed anything, a male voice shouted, "There's someone in the jar! Hit the jar!"

The people in the jar weren't pushovers either, and immediately prepared defensive measures. As long as they stayed in the spiritual fluid, the monsters wouldn't likely notice them. If they wanted to earn points, they had to kill them first!
Wei Xi cast more than ten strengthening spells on the jar. At this time, the spiritual liquid was useful. Originally, Wei Xi's Qi Palace could also cast four strengthening spells, but now she was soaked in the spiritual liquid, and her spiritual energy was sufficient, so she was even more unscrupulous in stacking armor.

Qin Feng wasn't good at casting spells, while Lian Gouqie was more of a support cultivator. Fortunately, the two had previously collaborated on a number of strengthening and damage reduction spells, which they put to use one after another.

Ge Cang and Feng Xiaotian cheered up and had corresponding spells to use.

The most amazing thing was Yun Qing. She controlled the colorful spider to spin silk quickly, which was equivalent to adding a layer of lining to the jar.

Unexpectedly, those cultivators who were avoiding the monster were determined to let their opponents share the attack. A cultivator from a family of fire-attributed cultivators cast a talisman and shouted, "Break!" The activated talisman released a power far beyond that of the foundation-building cultivators. Ten flaming mountain cats rushed straight towards the monster carrying the jar on its back, and fire thunders struck wherever their four feet stepped.

What use could the spells of a few foundation-building monks be? The jar was split open by the fire thunder, and the spiritual liquid and the monks fell from the ant's back.

Wei Xi could see clearly now that they had left the dark tunnel on the seventh floor and were now in a moist and green mossy forest. Below them was the passage for Shell Method Micro Travel.

These ants have such strong expansion capabilities that they actually dug up to the fourteenth floor during the period when the secret realm was sealed!

If the sixth layer wasn't an ocean, wouldn't these red ants have been the world since the first layer!

Not far away, two teams of monks were fighting with fifty or sixty shell monsters. When they saw the monks rolling out of the jar, they led the monsters over here.

That’s right, there are monks in this world who are always trying to divert trouble away!

Wei Xi used to be so good at this trick, but now he is itching to do so. Only when the knife cuts himself will he know how painful it is!

Wei Xi, who was tricked, took note of the two teams of disciples from Xiuxiang Sect and Penglai Pavilion. He rolled over to avoid them and drew out his dagger to prepare for a fight.

Unexpectedly, the Kefawei on Weixi's side didn't seem to notice the presence of Weixi and his companions. After their jars were destroyed, they opened their huge mouths and pounced on the enemies attacking their own kind.

"Their eyesight has completely deteriorated!" Yun Qing, who had the most dealings with demonic beasts, immediately shouted, "Our scent is being masked! They can't smell it!"

"Follow the ants' passage!" Wei Xi immediately reacted: These ants are extremely powerful, are they just waiting to die if they don't leave?

The few of them had coordinated closely at this point, and they immediately organized themselves into formation and charged along the passage dug by the ants.

The cultivators on the opposite side had spent a lot of money to find a scapegoat, so they were not willing to let Wei Xi and the others escape easily. At this moment, fighting with the monsters was not as high a priority as saving people.

After all, the passage is right in front of you, and as long as you run faster than your competitors, you can save your life.

A black-faced disciple of the Xiuxiang Sect clasped his hands together and spoke a string of nonsense. As he performed the spell, a giant green animal-faced statue formed a shadow behind him.

As the disciple lost his strength, the shadowy figure rushed towards the upward ant path, waving two huge hammers.

The shadow was very majestic, and two huge hammers rushed towards Yun Qing, who was closest to the passage.

Yun Qing was no pushover either. She commanded the colorful spider to wave its legs and shoot out poisonous spider hairs. She knew that the spider silk could not stop the shadow of the Xiuxiang Sect disciple, so she could only hope that the spider hairs could delay the opponent's actions.

How could the phantom be afraid of poisonous spider hairs? It stood at the entrance of the ant tunnel without hesitation, like a single man blocking the way for ten thousand, with the momentum to hammer anyone who came over.

Wei Xi and Lian Gouwei, two small fry, had no chance of getting involved in such a battle, so they immediately gave their positions to Qin Ge and the other two. They drew their swords and engaged in a fight with the phantom.

Feng Xiaotian was also aroused by this time. He could not do anything about the magic of Xiuxiang Sect, but he could make things difficult for the people of Xiuxiang Sect. He mobilized a large amount of spiritual power and created a wall of fire around the team, blocking the two groups of people.

"Wei Xi!" Feng Xiaotian controlled the wall of fire, not giving the other party any chance to take advantage. "See if you can find another way!"

Seeing this ten-zhang-long wall of fire, Wei Xi realized how powerful Feng Xiaotian was. The consumption of spiritual power alone for a spell of this scale was not something that an ordinary cultivator could sustain.

Wei Xi knew that it was unlikely to find the real staircase on this floor at this time. If he could not get rid of this strange Western embroidered portrait, the only way out was to retreat.

The problem is that someone won't let them leave. Yun Qing has just summoned a realm monster that has reached the Dan stage. This is a good thing given to her by her family. She took it out at this critical moment to restrain these phantoms.

The boundary beast is a living prison that can trap beings one level higher than itself at most, regardless of race and attributes. It is only time-limited, and the control range is also determined by the strength of the operator. It is a very precious spiritual beast, which shows the foundation and strength of the Yun family.

At Yun Qing's command, the cubic-shaped boundary beast blinked its triangular eyes and slowly swallowed the double hammer phantoms into its stomach.

Controlling this spiritual beast, Yun Qing, who was in the foundation-building stage, was covered in cold sweat, and her legs and feet became weak and she fell backwards.

At this moment, a dagger flashing with a faint light stabbed towards Yun Qing's neck. Qin Ge and the other man were unable to respond in time and could only warn her out loud.

Yun Qing heard it and used all her remaining spiritual power to dodge. The dagger slashed through her chest and broke the points spell.

Oh no! Wei Xi’s hair stood on end. This man was coming for Yun Qing.

Sure enough, the next moment the dagger rushed straight towards Yun Qing's white neck. The assassin infused spiritual power into it, and the dim light on the dagger turned green, obviously it was poisoned.

At the critical moment, a double-edged knife pierced through Feng Xiaotian's wall of fire and hit the attacker's wrist with the power of thunder.

　Don't worry, the man in the title has nothing to do with Wei Xi.
