Drunk Immortal Gourd

It seems that there is no danger in this place. Everyone patrolled the stone hall and found nothing, so they continued to walk forward. After passing the stone hall, there was another artificially excavated passage in front, which was exactly the same as the previous passage and wide enough for several people to walk.

"It seems that there is a corpse here!" Just after entering the passage, Chen Biwang in front shouted.

Everyone hurried forward a few steps and saw a corpse lying on the ground not far from them. Judging from the clothes on the body, the corpse seemed to be from the Tao family, but the whole body was as thin as a skeleton, and the face was also deformed, so it was impossible to tell who it was.

Tao Zhengyou and Tao Yougong looked at the corpse for a long time, but they didn't recognize who it was. However, judging from the clothes on his body, this person's status was not high, and he was definitely not Tao Youcheng or Tao Zhengyi, which made them both relieved.

At this time, Tao Zhengzhi suddenly trembled and said, "He is Tao Zhengli!"

"Tao Zhengli? How did you recognize him?" Tao Zhengyou asked.

Tao Zhengzhi said, "Tao Zhengli and I are usually good friends. Before we set out with the master, we were practicing martial arts in the martial arts field, and I accidentally pierced a hole in his sleeve. Later, the master urged him to come to Phoenix Mountain together, and he followed without changing his clothes. But he never came back." Tao Zhengyou looked at the sleeve of the corpse, and there was indeed a hole pierced by a sharp weapon. It seems that Tao Zhengzhi was right. The corpse on the ground was really Tao Zhengli's. I don't know what danger he encountered, and he became unrecognizable. Tao Zhengyou said solemnly to the corpse on the ground: "Brother Zhengli, I didn't expect you to die in this underground palace. I really wronged you. You wait here first. If we can come back, we will definitely bring your body up and bury it properly." The Tao family was concerned about whose body the body belonged to, while others were concerned about how the body died. Lu Feng frowned and thought for a long time before saying: "There is no obvious injury on the whole body, but the flesh and blood are all gone, only the skeleton and a piece of skin are left. A righteous cultivator would never have such means. Could it be that he encountered a ghost cultivator? Senior Brother Chen, what do you think? ? "

Chen Biwang pondered and said, "It's hard to say. His current appearance does look like the work of an evil ghost cultivator, but we cannot rule out the possibility that he was bitten by some special monster. It's just that the wound is small and the location is hidden, so we haven't found it yet."

Lv Feng nodded and said, "Then let's look for it carefully to see what happened. I always feel that this underground palace is quite evil. Only when we figure out the cause of his death can we feel at ease."

Lv Feng and Chen Biwang lowered their bodies, turned the body over with their scabbards, and examined it carefully. The others were curious and gathered here.

At this moment, two black shadows suddenly rushed over from a distance and pounced on the crowd in the passage. The speed was so fast that even the Qi-training cultivators dared not underestimate them. One of the black shadows pounced on Tao Zhengxin, and the other pounced on Qingyang nearby.

Although the divine consciousness of the cultivators can detect danger at the first time, the divine consciousness coverage of low-level cultivators is too small, and the speed of the black shadow is too fast. There is no time to react at a distance of several feet. Tao Zhengxin just found out that something was wrong, and the black shadow pounced on him. After that, before he could scream, he fell to the ground.

Qingyang's situation was much better. His cultivation was relatively high, and the strength of his divine consciousness exceeded that of cultivators of the same level, and the coverage range was also relatively wide, so he discovered the black shadow at the first time. The speed of the black shadow was fast enough, and Qingyang's reaction was not slow. When he saw the danger, he had already sacrificed the Qingzhu Sword to block in front of him.

Seeing the black shadow rushing towards him, Qingyang took advantage of the situation and slashed the Qingzhu Sword forward, and chopped it on the black shadow. Just then, a scream was heard in front of him, and the black shadow was split into two by the Qingzhu Sword, and a cavity of hot blood sprayed out, which was blocked by Qingyang's true qi shield, so that it was not sprayed all over the face.

At this time, Qingyang could see clearly that the one who attacked him was actually a bat as big as an adult's head. On the head covered with fluff, there were a pair of scary red eyes, sharp teeth exposed outside, and shiny black wings, which made people feel weird.

Judging from the aura of the bat, this was a demon beast that had not entered the rank, and its strength was at least equivalent to the middle stage of Kaimai Realm. However, the bat was good at flying and extremely fast. It suddenly attacked in a hidden place, and even Qingyang, who was at the third level of Qi Refining, was almost hit.

Qingyang was like this, let alone Tao Zhengxin, who was only in the middle stage of Kaimai Realm. Not to mention that he had no time to react, even if he had time to react, he would not be the opponent of this bat.

Lu Dingshan was not far from Tao Zhengxin, and he rushed to rescue him as soon as possible, but unfortunately he was still a step too late. When he rushed in front of Tao Zhengxin, Tao Zhengxin had already fallen to the ground, his face was bloodless, and the bat that attacked him was lying on his throat.

Lu Dingshan did not dare to neglect it, and sacrificed the mountain-opening axe and chopped at the bat. Although the bat was attacking Tao Zhengxin, it reacted quickly and dodged to the side with a squeak. Lu Dingshan's axe only rubbed its wings and did not hurt the bat.

However, at this time, the others had also reacted and used their own magic weapons to attack the bat. Under the attack of so many people, how could the bat monster with only the strength of Kaimai Realm be a match? It was nailed to the ground by Mi Ling's plum blossom needle in a few strokes.

After getting rid of the two monsters, Tao Zhengyi hurriedly took a few steps forward and came to Tao Zhengxin's side. Tao Zhengxin's face on the ground had lost all color, and his entire upper body seemed to have been enchanted by some evil spell. He had lost weight several times. , the original shape is almost unrecognizable.

There was a small wound on Tao Zhengxin's throat, which was still oozing blood. It was obviously bitten by the bat monster just now. There was no breath in his nose, and he had been dead for a long time. His eyes were wide open, and he seemed to be a bit stubborn.

Although they had planned to use Tao Zhengxin as cannon fodder, when he really died, everyone was in a low mood, feeling as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died. Tao Zhengyou sighed deeply, stretched out a hand and patted Tao Zhengxin's body a few times, and slowly closed his eyes.

Tao Zhengxin died, and the remaining Tao Zhengzhi was frightened and said: "Brother, I... my cultivation level is too low, should I wait for everyone outside?"

Tao Zhengyou turned his head and looked deep into the passage, and said in a low voice: "Our Tao family has no way out. This time it is do or die. Only by rescuing the head of the family can our Tao family have hope. Don't worry, my second uncle and I will do our best in the future." To protect you."
