Holding the space chat group, the cannon fodder female supporting role ascended

Chapter 276 Complete the mission
The immortal herb hidden in the sleeve seemed to sense something was wrong and transmitted its voice:

"Master, the ferocious aura of the behemoths here has become even stronger. What's going on?"

Yun Xi frowned and said:
"I don't know either, and it's not even dark yet, but the daytime has actually shortened."

The fairy shook its leaves and replied after a long while:

"Master, this must be the work of the spirit realm."

Yunxi had her own guesses, and just as she was about to go out to check, Qin came to find Yunxi, supporting the old woman.

The old woman had a panicked expression on her face. Upon seeing Yunxi, she spoke:

"Please take your people and leave this place immediately."

"what happened?"

Although she was anxious, Yunxi still wanted to find out the reason.

The old woman's grip on her cane tightened, and she said in a hoarse voice:
"The giant beast in the jungle is about to go berserk."

"Go berserk? You mean those behemoths will lose their minds and attack the tribe?"

"Yes, they will not only attack tribes, but also outsiders like you."

"Does it happen often that the behemoth goes berserk?"

"No, this is the third time I've encountered this! The previous Azu died during the second behemoth's rampage and attack on the tribe. She sacrificed herself to protect her people, perishing together with the behemoths that attacked the tribe."

Yunxi lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, feeling that this should be similar to the beast tide in the cultivation world, only the environment in which the descendants of the Witch Clan lived was even worse. However, she still asked, puzzled:
"Old man, how do you survive the nights when those giant beasts become ferocious and aggressive?"

"I used my witchcraft to draw an inscription on each member of the tribe that could petrify their bodies. After the tribe members rest at night, I would use my witchcraft to activate the inscription and petrify them. The petrification would be removed at dawn."

In this way, the tribesmen are just stones in the eyes of those giant beasts, so they naturally won't attack the tribe, and I can avoid the giant beasts as long as I stay in the stone house.

But when the giant beasts go berserk, it's different. They gather in large groups, rampaging through the jungle, destroying everything in sight. I alone cannot stop them, so I beg you to take your people away from here.”

By the end, the old woman's tone had become almost pleading.

Yun Xi took a deep breath and said:
"Old man, please tell the clansmen to bring all their belongings and gather here."

"it is good."

This time, the old woman readily agreed, then exchanged a few words with Qin beside her before being helped back to the two-story stone house.

Yunxi remained where she was, staring at the gray sky and the oppressive jungle, her brows furrowed tightly.

The Immortal Spirit Grass transmitted its voice:

"Master, are you really going to bring them into the space? I think it's still a bit risky."

“We have to do something; after all, they are descendants of the witch clan.”

"Don't worry, I won't put myself in danger easily. After sending them into the space, I'll put them into a deep sleep. We'll discuss everything after I leave the secret realm."

Yunxi had her own plans.

Just as the sky turned completely dark, the old woman led all the witch tribe members to Yunxi. Yunxi confirmed that everyone in the tribe had arrived. Without wasting any time, she enveloped everyone with her divine sense and then communicated with the space to move them into the space.

The old woman felt as if she had only blinked once, and her clansmen had vanished from her surroundings. Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. Yunxi, standing beside her, was also very relieved. The space had not rejected the descendants of the Witch Clan. These people had entered the space smoothly, and according to her will, she had put them all into a deep sleep. Yunxi moved them to the thatched hut of the outer disciples of the Immortal Medicine Sect, and then withdrew her consciousness from the space.

When Yunxi looked at the old woman, she noticed that her hair was completely white and her eyes were becoming increasingly cloudy. She knew that the old woman's time was near, but she still calmly said:

“Old man, I have moved the clansmen to a safe place. Now you can tell me how to leave this place.”

The old woman's body, leaning on her cane, became increasingly hunched, but she still nodded and said:

"Please come with me."

Then he turned and walked towards the direction of the stone house. Yunxi followed a step behind. Behind them were the roars of various beasts, and the ground trembled slightly, indicating that the giant beasts were gathering.

Yunxi remained vigilant, constantly extending her divine sense. She discovered that the old woman had led her to the same place that Little Flying Butterfly had been unable to approach when it explored the tribe.

The old woman led Yunxi up to the second floor of the stone house, which was completely empty.

The old woman coughed twice, then bit her finger, channeling her witchcraft power to draw a door on the empty second floor along with her blood. She then gently pushed the door open, entered it first, and then looked at Yunxi.

After confirming that there was no danger, Yunxi also entered the door, and then the door disappeared behind the two of them, leaving only a stone wall.

Yunxi found herself and the old woman in a cave. It was pitch black, but the old woman seemed to know the way well and led Yunxi forward.

After walking for half an incense stick's time, they finally arrived at a place with light. Yunxi saw that the light was provided by an oil lamp that was flickering on and off.

The old woman's cough worsened, and after finally stopping, she pointed to a spot and said:
"That's the only way out of here, but I don't have the ability to start it. You outsiders should be able to."

After speaking, the old woman took a deep breath, seemingly feeling tired, and slowly sat down against the stone wall without saying anything more.

Yunxi was also attracted by the teleportation array in front of her. She went forward to examine it carefully and found that the teleportation array was actually an ancient teleportation array. The array did not require spirit stones to activate, but rather spiritual power of different attributes.

Yunxi walked around the array base and found that nine kinds of spiritual power were needed for this ancient teleportation array to be activated. Although she had three mutated spiritual roots of wind, thunder and ice, it was impossible for her to inject three kinds of spiritual power into the array base at the same time.

Yunxi frowned, wanting to ask the old woman if any cultivators had successfully left through this teleportation array before, but when she turned around, she found that the old woman's eyes were closed and she was no longer breathing.

Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then teleported to the old woman's side, raised her hand and touched the woman's wrist. After a moment, she withdrew her hand, and the old woman passed away peacefully.

"Old man, don't worry, I will keep my promise and protect the descendants of the Wu clan."

After speaking, she waved her sleeve and sent the old woman's body into her spatial dimension, a gesture of respect for the deceased.

As the old woman passed away, the previously suppressed roars of beasts rang out again, getting closer and closer to where Yunxi was.

"Master, you can't activate this teleportation array by yourself. You must find a companion to enter the secret realm, otherwise you won't be able to leave here."

The fairy grass already knew what had happened, so it transmitted its voice.

"I know, it seems this battle is inevitable."

After sighing, Yunxi released her divine sense and immediately discovered that she was inside the stone mountain behind the Wu tribe.

When the old woman was alive, she must have used her witchcraft to disguise this place, which is why she didn't notice anything amiss. Now that she's dead, her witchcraft has dissipated, and that barrier has disappeared, allowing her to see the whole picture.

Yunxi was unaware that the membrane separating all cultivators from the old woman vanished the instant she breathed her last.

Hey everyone, today is the last day of the holiday. Did you have a great time? Have you gotten home yet? Tomorrow it'll be back to work like oxen, so remember to give yourself some time to get back into the swing of things. Wishing you a smooth first day back at work!
