Looking around, it was like an underground maze of passages, crisscrossing and leading to all directions. There were occasionally a few signs at the entrances and exits, but there was no indication of what the area at the other end of the passages was like.
The size of this cave is far beyond everyone's expectations.
Zhou Yu found another piece of handkerchief remnant on the ground at the entrance, which meant that their guess was correct. Shangguan Qing'er and Liu Mei should have entered the cave.
"The demon cultivator also followed in..."
Tang Xin pointed at the pools of blood on the ground and said.
It seems that Shangguan Qing'er's situation is more tragic than theirs. She has not been able to completely get rid of the entanglement of the evil cultivators and had no choice but to enter here.
But then again, this is indeed a good place to get rid of enemies and hide your body.
When facing enemies that outnumber you, you might be able to use the maze-like terrain to defeat them one by one.
But the question is, how can they reunite with Shangguan Qing'er and others?
Zhou Yu walked around the exit and took a deep breath.
"It smells like Senior Sister... I'm very familiar with her smell."
"?"
Girl, do you usually catch your senior sister and sniff her to death?
Seeing Tang Xin's look that said "Are you a pervert too?", Zhou Yu explained with a red face.
"Well, I often help Senior Sister clean the room and wash clothes, so I am familiar with her smell. It's not what you think..."
Rolling around in the senior sister's bed? Covering your head with the senior sister's underwear?
Following the lingering smell, this time with Zhou Yu leading the way, the two of them shuttled through the passage.
After walking in the dark for a while, a beam of light shines in front of us, and the whole space becomes bright.
"There is another formation," Zhou Yu pointed at the exit of the passage and said, "but it doesn't seem to pose any threat."
Such a dangerous task as testing the formation should naturally be accomplished by Tang Xin, who is at a higher level.
She circulated her true energy and stepped forward carefully.
Nothing happened.
"No problem, come on over."
After confirming it, Zhou Yu passed through the formation with confidence.
Then--
"Beep beep beep, intruder spotted!"
On both sides of the exit, the "wooden men" that had been motionless suddenly made a harsh sound, spun a few times, and then pounced towards them.
Tang Xin reacted quickly and immediately got into a fighting stance, ready to fight them.
As a result... all these wooden men went around her on both sides, as if ignoring her existence, and went straight towards Zhou Yu.
"What...are these?!"
Zhou Yu fought back in a panic and got entangled with the wooden man.
What's going on?
[Generating options...]
[Option 1: Yell "Clear the Security Line."]
[100% success rate, reward: a bottle of jasmine tea.]
[Option 2: Roll up your sleeves and get to work.]
[100% success rate, reward: a bottle of rock sugar and snow pear. ]
[Option 3: Watch the whole process and shout "Come on!"]
[100% success rate, reward: a bottle of iced cola.]
Are there any differences in the rewards for these three options?
After thinking for a few seconds, Tang Xin shouted, adhering to the peace-loving principle of not taking action if possible.
"Relieve the alert?"
squeak--
The wooden stake men froze instantly and fell to the ground one after another.
This situation made both of them stand there in a daze.
"How did you do it?"
"How did I do it?" Tang Xin scratched his head. "Forget it, it's not important. Can you still smell Shangguan Qing'er's scent?"
"It's become much more messy," Zhou Yu frowned and said, "It seems that other people have stayed here..."
"Woo-"
The little fox hiding in Tang Xin's collar signaled twice with barks.
"You said there's a strong smell here?"
Because of the connection between the spirit pet and its master, Tang Xin was able to understand what it meant.
“Hahaha,” suddenly, a sharp laugh sounded all around, “I knew someone would fall into this trap, meow!”
Swish!
Four monks emitting a distinguished aura jumped out from behind several stone statues. The leader was a woman with a long tail behind her and pointed ears on her head.
"I can make a lot of money this time, meow!"
……
The scene in the cave was unusually quiet.
After a while, Tang Xin asked Zhou Yu.
"Are these people not the ones who chased us before?"
"Yes."
Zhou Yu nodded.
She remembered the appearances of those demon cultivators clearly, and there was definitely no half-demon with a tail behind him.
Half-demon is the offspring of a human and a transformed spirit beast.
This kind of creature is neither recognized by humans nor accepted by the real demon race. It is a character that floats between the two groups.
Generally speaking, when a spiritual beast cultivates to a high level and can transform into a human, it has freed itself from its own shackles and become a "demon."
And if they can pass on their bloodline that has undergone many evolutions and form a clan, they can be called the "demon clan".
It is difficult for a spirit beast to transform into a demon, and it is even more difficult to pass on the bloodline. Therefore, the demon race pays special attention to the purity of the bloodline, and naturally will not accept the existence of "half-demon".
Because of their obvious "non-human" features, they are difficult to be accepted by most humans.
Of course, this requires excluding some people with special fetishes. After all, human desires are free...
"Just surrender, meow!" The cat demon woman said with an evil smile, "We, the Meow Meow Gang, only rob money, not kill!"
She spread out her palms, and her sharp claws extended out, looking extremely intimidating.
In terms of realm, he is also better than Tang Xin, and has reached the peak of the ninth level of foundation building.
The subordinates next to them were all at a high level of foundation building, and they had an overwhelming advantage over them.
"First question," Tang Xin asked calmly, "Are you demon cultivators?"
"Pretending to be calm? Look at me..."
Before the cat demon could finish his words, he was stared at by a pair of eyes full of "coldness", and a chill rushed straight to his head.
"answer the questions."
she said lightly.
"no……"
Damn it, how could I be scared by a human cultivator of a lower realm?
"Second question," Tang Xin held up two fingers and asked, "How did you get in?"
"We wandered around in the swamp and came across a stone gate, so we broke in..."
"Is there more than one entrance?" Tang Xin paused and added a finger. "The third question is, you should love yourself very much, right?"
"what?"
The cat demon had a puzzled expression on her face. She slapped her face and said angrily.
"Stop playing tricks! You don't want to hand over the things, right? Then don't blame me for snatching them away!"
"Don't panic."
Tang Xin handed the little fox to Zhou Yu, asked her to retreat to a safe place, jump left and right, and do warm-up exercises.
"Come, try my new meow punch!"
Chapter 67: We are all cat lovers
The cat demon in front of Tang Xin and the others was named A Miao. She had formed a gang and usually operated in the area near the Baidu Mountains.
Some time ago, a large sect in Qingzhou mobilized its best soldiers and generals to sweep through the Hundred Poison Mountains, which also brought them a lot of benefits.
Although their gang, which robs people on the road and cheats people, is not considered a righteous force, the elders' minds are completely focused on the evil cultivators. As long as they don't cause trouble and just follow behind to pick up leftovers, they will turn a blind eye.
After losing a large number of demon cultivators, the Hundred Poison Mountains became much safer than before, so they bravely entered to look for opportunities.
For example, an elite disciple of a sect of immortal cultivation who is left alone.
These disciples, although not at a high level, have a lot of good stuff on them, so it is very cost-effective to do one. And as long as no one is hurt, the immortal cultivation sects cannot mobilize all their forces, just to vent their anger.
"Humph," seeing that the other party had no intention of surrendering, Ah Miao said coldly, "Fists and feet have no eyes. If you get hurt, don't blame me for not warning you in advance, meow!"
This was not the first time she had fought with sect disciples, and she knew very well that these cultivators were much stronger than human cultivators of the same level.
