Chapter 292 Enemy Attack
Chapter 292 Enemy Attack
Ju Yunhai understood what Senior Sister Jia meant. If the Qingming Sword was really taken away by someone, then wouldn't it be a wasted trip for everyone to go to the Guo family ancestor's retreat?
Senior Sister Jia's intention was clearly to make Ju Yunhai give up the idea of going into seclusion.
"Whether the Qingming Sword was taken away, and by whom, can only be understood by going to the place where the ancestor of the Guo family was in seclusion."
Ju Yunhai said to Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu:
"Besides, if we just leave like this, not only will we waste these few days. Even if we return to the sect, we will have to choose a new mission to do.
The tasks left for our school this month are all left over by others, and there are no easier tasks to solve."
Tian Lin nodded, agreeing with Ju Yunhai's statement.
Fairy Mei did not comment. She was the most powerful person present and her style of doing things was not as cautious as Sister Jia's.
Moreover, she now hopes that Tian Lin will become a Class A disciple, so that she, as Tian Lin's sword bearer, can follow him into the secret realm to collect the evil souls in the secret realm.
"Junior Sister Jia, have you decided whether to stay or go?"
Ju Yunhai gained Tian Lin's recognition and had the confidence to ask questions.
Senior Sister Jia thought about it and decided that if she couldn't win over Tian Lin and Fairy Mei, it would be even more dangerous for her to stay here alone.
You know, I was able to get here safely thanks to the help of Fairy Mei.
If she was alone with her sword, there was no way she could suppress the tree monsters around her, let alone the monsters in the mountains?
"Since Senior Brother Ju is determined to go to the Guo family's ancestor's retreat, then I have no choice but to listen to you, Senior Brother Ju."
Ju Yunhai smiled and said, "Okay, fortunately there are only a few steps left, we can go find out what's going on."
The group set out again and soon found the valley where the ancestor of the Guo family was in seclusion.
The valley is covered with trees, but strangely, it is unusually quiet.
"There should be monsters in this place. But for some reason, it seems like someone has specially 'cleared the area' here."
Tian Lin suddenly stopped, squatted down and touched the soil on the ground.
Seeing this, Mei Xiangu and others came over and grabbed a handful of mud from the ground.
Ju Yunhai sniffed the smell of the soil and couldn't help but say, "This bloody smell is really weird. I don't know if it was left by a monster or a human. I'm glad that you have a keen nose, Junior Brother Tian."
Tian Lin looked at the entry and said:
"This is most likely left behind by monsters. Apparently someone killed a lot of monsters here. It's a pity that the corpses of these monsters were used as manure by the surrounding tree monsters."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and groped around for a few more handfuls of mud, finally throwing it away, dusting his hands and saying:
"There are many dead monsters around here, but all traces have been 'erased' by these tree monsters. I think someone must have passed by here not long ago. I just don't know if this person passed by here unintentionally, or came here for the Qingming sword of the ancestor of the Guo family."
After he finished speaking, he saw Mei Xiangu rushing into the valley.
Mei Xiangu moved at an incredibly fast speed, leaving only a trace of an afterimage, and soon stopped a hundred feet away.
Everyone chased after her, but saw Fairy Mei suddenly slap Tian Lin on the head.
Tian Lin paused slightly, then immediately activated the Buddha and Demon Freedom Technique to protect himself.
When he looked up, he saw a sword energy being cut by the plum blossom of Mei Xiangu.
From the east and south directions, several sword energies swept across the tree branches and twigs, attacking the group of six people one after another.
Tian Lin was fine, as Mei Xiangu saved her. However, Ju Yunhai and Senior Sister Jia were in a bad situation. They reacted quickly, but were injured on the face and shoulders by the sword energy.
The most unlucky ones were the two people holding swords. They did not have as good magic weapons to protect themselves as Ju Yunhai and Senior Sister Jia, so after being stabbed by the sword, they had no magic weapons to die with them.
I saw two people, one was cut in half at the waist, and the other was cut at the shoulder. "Hide in the cave first!"
As Ju Yunhai spoke, he grabbed Yun'er with one hand and ran into the cave in front.
Although this cave is dark, it is the best hiding place at this moment.
In such a hurry, Tian Lin and others had no other choice.
They knew that this cave might not be safe, but if they did not enter the cave, they would be exposed to attacks from unknown enemies.
But at this moment, they couldn't determine how many people were hiding in secret, so they could only hide in the cave.
At this moment, only the wind remained outside.
When Senior Sister Jia entered the cave, she did not take the risk of following Ju Yunhai's example and take her own sword with her to take refuge.
"Girl, save me!"
Feng'er's legs were broken at the waist, her legs remained in place, but she dragged her upper body towards the cave with her hands.
It is not so easy for a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building to die, but her current condition is not good.
Seeing her crawling, dragging her intestines all over the ground, Tian Lin frowned and took out the water of good fortune from his storage bag.
The water of creation has the effect of reviving the dead and turning bones into flesh. Only the Yuanying grandfather of Mei Xiangu had given Tian Lin a small bottle of it.
Tian Lin has never consumed this water of good fortune because the entry for this water is about an evil magic technique.
At this moment, he wanted to use this bottle of water of creation to save lives, so while touching the water of creation, he raised his hand and grabbed the wind in the air.
Unfortunately, although Tian Lin was fast, the sword energy outside was not slow either.
As soon as Feng'er's body flew up, he was cut into pieces by more than a dozen sword energies in an instant.
Even so, she was not dead yet.
But at this point, a small bottle of water of good fortune could no longer save her life.
Tian Lin put the water of good fortune back into the storage bag. After Feng'er's body was entangled by vines that appeared from nowhere, he turned his head to look at Mei Xiangu.
Mei Xiangu said calmly: "It's already great that I can save you, so why would I help you save others?"
Senior Sister Jia also said, "Feng'er died because she had bad luck. We can avenge her in the future. Junior Brother Tian, you don't have to blame yourself."
Tian Lin shook his head. It wasn't him who caused the wind to break out, and it wasn't him who was holding the sword. Why should he blame himself?
He did not dwell on Feng'er's death, but turned to look at the black cave behind him.
At this time, Ju Yunhai was treating Yun'er's broken arm, while Mei Xiangu was looking outside vigilantly.
Senior Sister Jia and Tian Lin looked towards the cave passage and could not help but say, "This should be the place where the ancestor of the Guo family was in seclusion. It seems that my guess was right. Someone really took the Qingming Sword before us."
Tian Lin said nothing. He bent down and picked up a stone engraved with an array from the ground.
At this moment, the formation stone had already broken, and the sword marks on it were very obvious. It was foreseeable that someone broke into the cave by force, and because they did not know the arrangement of the formation in the cave, they completely destroyed the formation in the cave.
"Let's go into the cave first. If there are still enemies hiding in the cave, then we will be attacked from two sides."
Tian Lin took the lead, practicing the Buddha and Demon Freedom Technique, and headed towards the depths of the cave very carefully.
