Celestial being

Naturally, Yuan Ming would not let go of such a good thing that was right in front of him. He immediately dug three feet into the ground, pulled out the entire Huangquan tree, and carefully put it into his bag.

At the same time, Soul Crow, who was searching everywhere in the sinkhole, also made new discoveries.

Yuan Ming immediately rushed towards his location and saw a huge hole at the other end of the sinkhole, which was blocked by vines hanging from the wall, making it somewhat hidden.

At this time, the soul crow was standing on the protruding stone above the vines, with a round golden sequin in its mouth.

Yuan Ming reached out to recall the soul crow, and took the metal sequin from its mouth. After taking a closer look, he discovered that it was a golden scale with a unique pattern on it.

At first glance, the scales were very similar to those of the Golden Flower Poison Python that was killed earlier, but they were obviously a lot larger.

While he was thinking about it, Yuan Ming saw something white sandwiched between the vines below.

He rushed forward, grabbed it, and pulled the thing out.

After Yuan Ming pulled it, he discovered that it was the shed skin of a snake-like beast.

This piece of snake skin is six feet long, about the thickness of a bucket, and has a faint phosphorescent reflection on it, making it look very different.

"The scales and molted skin of this size are probably the shed skin of the Golden Flower Poison Python King." Yuan Ming thought of something and his heart skipped a beat.

He first used his spiritual consciousness to explore, and after finding that there was no breath of living things inside, he immediately carefully pushed aside the bead-curtain-like vines in front of him, revealing a gap, and began to explore inside.

Behind the vines is a passage that is not too long, and you can see the other end at a glance. There seems to be a wider underground cave. I don't know if there is fluorescent stone or something inside, but there is a layer of cold and faint white light, which adds to the atmosphere. A weird atmosphere.

Naturally, Yuan Ming would not put himself in danger. With a thought, the soul crow flew in along the entrance of the cave.

When I looked inside, I found that there were towering stone pillars and hanging stalactites everywhere in the vast cave. The stones and walls were inlaid with pieces of fluorite emitting blue-white light.

The size of this cave has exceeded Yuan Ming's imagination.

His soul crow flew inward for a long time, and then suddenly a huge object appeared in his sight that made him take a breath of cold air.

It was a gigantic golden flower poisonous python, coiled around a thick stone pillar, like a small mountain of meat, its raised tail was still shaking slightly, making a "rustling" sound.

Outside its body surface, the golden scales exude an extremely cold metallic aura under the blue and white cold light, and seem to be extremely strong.

After Yuan Ming observed for a moment, he was sure without any doubt that this must be the idea of ​​the Golden Flower Poison Python King.

He calmly recalled the soul crow, and after retreating to a relatively safe distance from the entrance of the cave, he turned over his hand and took out the jade talisman given by Baiye Sanguang, and without any hesitation, he crushed it in his sleeve.

The exploding jade talisman made a slight sound, and a flash of blue light flashed on the surface, then extinguished immediately, and there was no more movement.

Yuan Ming also stayed away from the entrance of the cave for the time being and returned to the entrance of the cave where he came in. While alert to the surroundings, he quietly waited for the people who broke up the alliance in the white night to come over.

After a long time, people came over one after another.

Only a small part of them found this place through the passage where Yuan Ming came in, and more people found the entrance to the extremely hidden sinkhole by relying on the jade talisman's mark. There were about a dozen people in total.

After waiting for another half-quarter of an hour, Bai Ye rushed over with two official members of their broken alliance.

"Is this the mark from you?" Bai Ye came to Yuan Ming and asked.

"Not bad." Yuan Ming opened his palm, and in his palm was the broken jade talisman.

"Have you found the Snake King?" Bai Ye said in a serious tone and frowned.

Before Yuan Ming, three people had already crushed the jade talisman, but when they arrived, they only saw corpses in miserable death conditions.

These people all crushed the jade talisman when they were in danger and unable to escape. In fact, they were hoping that someone would come to save them.

Yuan Ming had no obvious injuries, and it was obviously not like the former.

"Found it." Yuan Ming nodded.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched the storage bag on his waist, and a huge golden scale and a white snake slough appeared in his palm.

Bai Ye quickly took over and inspected it carefully.

At this time, Huanshi also happened to rush over. Seeing this situation, he hurriedly came over and looked at it intently.

After a moment, the two looked at each other and nodded silently.

"Where did you find it?" Bai Ye asked.

Yuan Ming immediately led Bai Ye and others to the cave entrance covered by vines, opened a gap, pointed inside, and lowered his voice and said: "The thing was found here, the snake king is inside."

"Have you been in there?" Bai Ye asked, frowning.

"I quietly went in to investigate and saw the figure of the Snake King, so I dared to come out to report the news. Otherwise, wouldn't it be just lying?" Yuan Ming continued to lower his voice and said.

This careful behavior made everyone present nervous and couldn't help but believe him.

"Let's confirm." Bai Ye turned his head and lowered his voice unconsciously, and said to an old man with gray hair.

The latter was also one of the official members of the White Night Alliance and nodded immediately.

Then, he took out a white mouse with shiny fur from his sleeve and placed it at the entrance of the vine hole.

The mouse wrinkled its nose and sniffed, then crawled inside.

Everyone had been waiting outside for a long time, when a small white shadow suddenly rushed out from inside. It was obviously frightened by something and looked very panicked.

The old man in sixties had quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed the mouse and put it to his ear, as if listening to its story.

But others could only hear the urgent sound of "squeak".

After a while, the sixty-year-old old man put away the white mouse and said to Bai Ye: "Leader, it's confirmed, this is the Snake King's cave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ye's brows relaxed and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

"Find a way to notify everyone to gather here immediately! Others rest on the spot." Bai Ye said to Huanshi.

"Okay!" Huanshi heard this and walked out of the sinkhole with Tuo Zhe.

…

Within the next quarter of an hour, people came over one after another again and gathered on the other side of the sinkhole.

Yuan Ming glanced at it and found that out of the forty-one people who originally entered the Snake King Valley, only thirty-one people arrived here.

Among the fourteen official members of the White Night Alliance, twelve are left, and the twenty-seven temporarily recruited, including himself, only nineteen are left.

Except for the man in black named Kunsha, everyone else in the six-person team he was originally in was there.

Yuan Ming knew in his heart that many of those who did not come would never show up again.

The loss rate of temporary members is much higher than that of regular members.

As for the people who came here one after another, except for the two foundation-building monks Bai Ye and Huan Shi and a few formal members, the rest of them looked a little embarrassed, with more or less bruises and injuries on their bodies. Among the temporary members, Many people had complicated expressions, with a hint of regret.

In comparison, Yuan Ming is already in the best shape.

"Fellow Daoist Hagong has done great work and helped us find the location of the Snake King. I wonder if you are interested in officially joining our White Night Alliance?" Huanshi looked at Yuan Ming with eyes full of appreciation and said.

He had a deep impression on Yuan Ming. From the time he first put Tuo Zhe at a disadvantage when he applied, to Yuan Ming's performance in the poisonous miasma, and now to finding the location of the Snake King, he sincerely invited Yuan Ming to join, not just a guest. Rhetoric.

"The deputy leader has good intentions, and I should agree. However, this matter involves a lot, so we should wait until later." Yuan Ming said with a smile and clasped his fists.

"Okay. Let's wait until we get out of the Snake King Valley. The three hundred spirit stones that will be rewarded to you will also be settled after everything is done." Huanshi nodded with a smile and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Yuan Ming say: "Deputy leader, can I settle the spiritual stones now?"

"Huh?" Huanshi was stunned when he heard this.

So eager? His impression of Yuan Ming could not help but be lowered a bit.

"Didn't we agree in advance that everyone has one more chance to withdraw before taking action against the Snake King? I want to withdraw now." Yuan Ming explained.

"Fellow Daoist Hagong, you were able to find this place almost unscathed, which shows that your strength is not weak. Why not choose to take a further step?" Bai Ye also became somewhat interested in Yuan Ming and asked.

His meaning is obvious, we have reached this point, why not give it a try? You may get more rewards after you accomplish the task.

This should be the thought in the hearts of almost all temporary members.

"I'm just a Qi Refining monk, but I still know my own strength. I'm lucky enough to be able to get here safely. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to help you find the Snake King. As for the joint hunt, I won't participate." Yuan Ming declined with a smile.

His words were very measured, and he did not overly mention the fear of the snake king, so as not to affect other people.

Seeing this, Bai Ye said nothing more.

"Everyone, are there any who want to quit now?" Huan Shi took out 310 spiritual stones in front of everyone, gave them to Yuan Ming, and then asked the others.

The formal members of the White Night Alliance were speechless, but a female voice came from among the temporary members.

"I, I want to quit too."

Yuan Ming followed the sound and saw that the black outfit on his body was mostly damaged, revealing his snow-white skin, his figure was curvy, and his face was covered with a thin black gauze. It was Bai Rong, the previous member of their team.

"She wants to quit too?" Yuan Ming was confused.

He had seen this person acting strangely before in the poisonous miasma, and guessed that she was here to target the people who broke up the alliance in Bai Ye, but now she also chose to withdraw, which made Yuan Ming a little confused.

Just when everyone thought that the dust had settled and only these two people had withdrawn, ten more people in the team spoke out one after another.

They also want to quit.

Seeing twelve people exiting at once, Bai Ye and Huanshi's expressions also darkened slightly.

If one of these people is missing, it means that they are officially members of the alliance, and the pressure they share will be greater, and the damage that may be increased may be even greater.

However, in the end, they did not make things difficult for these people.

And these people, including Yuan Ming, all got out of the sinkhole one after another and chose to leave after receiving the compensation for the ten spirit stones.
