Chapter 65: Heavy Casualties
Chapter 65: Heavy Casualties (Please read and vote)
Outside the underground palace, the scattered disciples of Gu Du Peak were attacked by a large number of corrosive poisonous bees. Without a leader in the late Qi training stage, their strength dropped by more than one level.
The original desire to explore the underground palace and look for opportunities was completely extinguished by waves of poisonous needles.
With heavy casualties, they had no choice but to retreat to the passage.
Then a desperate scene happened, the road was blocked.
Screams and wails continued one after another!
at the same time.
Near the abandoned camp in the middle of the Three Xuangu Mountains, the disciples of the Five Yin Peak had just been robbed by a man named Wang, but they had to pick themselves up and continue with their original plan.
What they are after is simply the opportunity in the underground palace.
A thin rock layer was deliberately selected, and a new underground passage is being quickly opened with the joint efforts of both sides.
Soon, the ground suddenly caved in and a head popped out. It was Fang Zhuo, the master of physical skills who was sent down.
His face was filled with horror as he shouted.
"Woe is to you, woe is to you!
"Hurry up and give me a hand."
Everyone reached out their hands and were about to ask, but they felt the ground begin to shake. There was a loud bang, and the ground collapsed even more widely.
A ferocious skeletal lion almost ten meters long jumped out.
He still had Fang Zhuo in his mouth.
With teeth as sharp as those of the rock pillars, he bit it in two in the blink of an eye, swallowed half of it whole, and let out a low roar.
A large number of white bones emerged from the ground, forming a circle of bone prison that surrounded everyone. The disciples of the Five Yin Peak looked grim.
"Second-order Fierce Bone Lion..."
This was almost an unbearable burden for them! Liu Jinxian and the other two were able to deal with these second-level evil spirits because they had many methods.
It may not work if they replace it.
The second-level ferocious bone lion began to kill indiscriminately, and there was almost no enemy that could match it. Wang Yu, who was hiding in the dark and observing, also felt his scalp tingling.
There have been too many changes in Xuangu Mountain.
There are foundation-building level troubles everywhere. If there are second-level ghosts hidden among the companion ghosts of Gumulin, the fun will be even greater.
After much consideration, he still did not take action.
The more people die, the better. In this way, the identities of Liu Jinxian and others will be scrapped. Without sufficient manpower, Wang Yu will be able to stand at the top for a short time.
Besides, he really didn’t want to deal with the second-level ferocious bone lion.
He watched them hunt down and kill the disciples of the Five Yin Peak. In a short period of time, nearly a hundred people were slaughtered, and the number was reduced to more than ten before he broke through the shackles of the bone prison and fled from Xuan Gu Mountain like a madman without looking back.
This behavior is tantamount to treason.
The ferocious bone lion chased for a distance and then returned. It did not chase anymore. It squatted in front of the new passage, opened its bloody mouth, and waited for the next destined person.
When things developed to this point, the Three Xuan Gu Mountains... were empty!
Upon seeing this, Wang Yu used the magic of the Night Hidden Curse to sneak into Xuangu Mountain and seize all the resources in the warehouse.
Then he returned to the abandoned camp and touched the storage bag of the disciple killed by the Fierce Bone Lion. He was instantly promoted to the "Elder of Hundred Bags" and enjoyed picking up the items very much.
"Good opportunity, good luck~, it's Wang's turn to be rich!"

Underground palace.
With his subordinates completely under his control, Liu Jinxian forced Gu Zhengshun and Situ Hong to surrender.
Using two sixth-level Qi training cultivators as bait, they finally activated the core of the Yang Yi formation. The gate to the third floor of Ningyue Palace opened, and everyone rushed in.
But in less than ten breaths, Liu Jinxian and his two companions retreated in a panic, without a single subordinate left by their side.
"Damn it, something's wrong with this place."
at this time.
Liu Jinxian was holding a bee Gu that had been born prematurely in his hand. Its condition was much more stable and its aura was much stronger.
The pursuer behind the three was only a corpse demon. The fate of the poisonous bee queen was self-evident.
"These damn ancient clan ruins are probably a conspiracy specially arranged to harm future generations."
The three rushed out of Ningyue Palace and ran towards the passage.
The corpse demon at the back pretended to chase for a few steps, but did not continue. The two flames in its eye sockets turned into a pair of lively eyeballs at some point.
His aura also changed drastically. Standing at the highest point of the stairs and overlooking the entire underground palace, he sighed.
"All failed..."
"The cage is hard to break, I won't give up!!!"
After a few steps, the corpse demon paused, a wisp of residual soul floated out from its head, and turned into ashes in silence.
There were ripples in the air, and there seemed to be a fleeting cold snort.
The corpse demon returned to normal, scratched its bald head, roared towards the sky, and continued to chase after the human scent.
Three days later.
The three Liu Jinxians, covered in dust, crawled out from Youxuangu Mountain, where Gu Zhengshun had set up the [Earth Yin Corpse Puppet Array], with gloomy looks on their faces.
Situ Hong said with a serious look.
"I'm not wrong. A remnant soul must have escaped from that magic weapon. If I hadn't had the protection of a ghost, I would have definitely been bewitched."
Gu Zhengshun also frowned.
"Since there is a residual soul, this underground palace is definitely not the remains of an ancient sect, but a place specially arranged by the cultivators to take over the body. I wonder what happened to the corpse demon."
Taking the 800-year lifespan of a Jindan cultivator as an example, if he was 500 years old when he died, his soul would still have 300 years of lifespan. Even if he was reborn in another body, his lifespan would not change.
Breaking through again will not increase your lifespan at all, unless you break through the original limit and reach the Nascent Soul stage.
Therefore, Gu Zhengshun's judgment is logical.
The ruins of the underground palace are not real, but man-made, more like a trap.
With things developing to this point, only Liu Jinxian got the biggest benefit. The two of them only gained a little from digging graves, and no one expected it to turn out like this.
"Alas, there is no point in talking any more. Let's go home."
"That's right. With the Xuanjing Flower, these five years will not be wasted."
Liu Jinxian was silent. She gained a lot but also suffered great losses, so it was difficult for her to feel good.
then.
As soon as the three of them came out of the protection of the formation, they were stunned.
In the distance, a giant ferocious bone lion was lying on the ground, and its foundation-building level aura was undoubtedly revealed. There was no human presence in the Three Xuan Gu Mountains, and it was as quiet as a Jedi.
"this--"
"no……"
"What's going on here."
In just one year, more than 500 people were gone? The three of them felt their scalps tingle and shuddered.
Wang Yu appeared at the right time, standing in the shadow of a huge rock and sighed: "The three of you are finally back."
Three people: "???"
After leaving Xuangu Mountain, the four of them sat around the stone table and listened quietly to Wang Yu talking about what had happened during this period.
There is no need to hide it. It was just a fight between Wuyin Peak and Gudu Peak, and these demons took advantage of it.
Of course, the part that he made profit from disappeared automatically.
After finishing speaking, Wang Yu looked full of emotion.
"You three arrived too late. The remaining people at Wuyin Peak were scattered by the skull beast. I, Wang, barely survived by relying on a concealment technique."
Liu Jinxian stared at Wang Yu and said coldly: "Then why don't you help?"
Wang Yu was surprised and said in confusion: "Senior Sister Liu thinks highly of me. I am only at the fifth level of Qi training. How can I stop the foundation-building bone beast?"
Situ Hong quickly tried to smooth things over: "Junior Brother Wang is right. Senior Sister Liu, you are making things difficult for me. It's good enough that you can save yourself."
