Immortal Road
Main text Chapter 670 The Ugly Old Man
After Guo Kezhen finished arranging the formation, he let out a long breath, looking extremely tired. It was obvious that he was not proficient in the formation. This formation should have been learned just now.
"Fellow Daoists, let's go!" Guo Kezhen said.
Guo Kezhen led the way in front, holding a night-shining stone in his hand, making the cave very bright. Jia Ru and the other three followed closely behind.
And Shichuan was four or five feet away from the four people, in the dark. Chen Ruoqing followed Shichuan closely, and from the expression on her face, it can be seen that Chen Ruoqing was nervous and excited. In addition to hunting monsters, she never went to look for spiritual herbs or treasures. And when hunting monsters, she would never be hurt at all, because Shichuan did not have the idea of letting Chen Ruoqing practice. Once a monster was found, he would immediately take action and kill it as quickly as possible.
Chen Ruoqing occasionally took action once or twice, but most of the time, she was just shouting and excitedly taking various materials from the monster.
Chen Ruoqing's situation is considered a peculiar one among the cultivators, especially among the independent cultivators in the South China Sea. Even the disciples of the big families often go out to practice, but Chen Ruoqing's master arranged everything for Chen Ruoqing, making Chen Ruoqing more pampered than those disciples of the aristocratic families.
"Brother Shi, what does the high-level demon tribe look like? Have you seen it?" Chen Ruoqing whispered.
This made Ishikawa quite helpless. The high-level demon tribe is a special name for the demon beasts that can transform. Generally speaking, after reaching the eighth level, the demon beasts can transform into human form. Most of them have spiritual intelligence that is not inferior to that of human cultivators, so they are called high-level demon tribes.
As for those low-level demon beasts whose spiritual intelligence is not open, they are called low-level demon tribes.
So what kind of demon beasts are transformed into high-level demon tribes, Ishikawa does not know. Naturally, he cannot answer.
Ishikawa roughly explained to Chen Ruoqing, which made Chen Ruoqing look surprised, and the expectation on his face became stronger.
"Fellow Daoist Guo, you have fought with that demon once. Can you tell us what method that demon beast used?" Jia Ru said. Although this person is quick-talking, his mind is very meticulous and he wants to know more about the situation.
Guo Kezhen stopped. Not wanting to waste too much time here, he said softly: "This high-level demon clan does not use many methods. It seems that he is seriously injured and his demon power is too much. So he can't use it. Let's hurry up and kill him before his demon power recovers!"
Along the way, everyone didn't say much. Guo Kezhen was leading everyone to detour slowly on the road, but Ishikawa could feel that Guo Kezhen seemed to be familiar with this place, and it was obviously not the first time he entered this cave.
If Guo Kezhen was chasing the high-level demon clan at that time, he explored the way first and chased here. It is also possible. But now he has walked for a quarter of an hour and has entered the depths of the cave. It is really hard to understand that he came here without going in. This is obviously inconsistent with Guo Kezhen's description.
Especially when there was a fork in the road, Guo Kezhen did not discuss with everyone, but chose the direction by himself.
Of course, this is not a big problem. After all, no one knows where the high-level demon clan is hiding.
But Ishikawa found something special from the moss on the ground.
Ishikawa noticed that although the forks were covered with moss, the one chosen by Guo Kezhen was much thinner. Obviously, someone passed by here not long ago. Judging from the range, more than one person passed by here.
It is definitely not a trace left by Guo Kezhen himself, nor is it a trace of the high-level demon clan passing by here.
There are only two possibilities. One is that someone has taken the lead and came in to search for the high-level demon clan. The second possibility is that Guo Kezhen did something to attract these cultivators here, and there is another deep meaning.
Ishikawa's spiritual consciousness is much stronger than all the cultivators, so he observed the subtle places that ordinary cultivators can hardly see.
Except Ishikawa, no one noticed these details. These cultivators may be immersed in the joy of finding a high-level demon clan and getting a lot of treasures, or they may be as nervous and excited as Chen Ruoqing, and do not pay attention to these extremely small things.
"After walking for so long, how come there is no trace?" Luo Beihua asked, with a hint of doubt in his voice.
"Although the high-level demon clan is injured, he is a high-level demon clan after all. This kind of cave is the favorite place for demon clans to stay. I believe he will not escape!" Guo Kezhen comforted: "As long as we look for it patiently, we will definitely find it."
After a while, everyone came to a wide intersection more than ten feet high.
It became empty here, and the rocks above the head emitted a little light. There were many cone-shaped stalactites hanging down.
Everyone actually smelled a trace of spiritual energy here.
The ground was also a little damp, and a few small crabs crawled slowly on the ground, making a rustling sound, making the empty stone chamber seem even quieter.
"Fellow Daoist Guo!" Jia Ru was about to say something, and her voice echoed in the stone chamber. After four or five sounds, it slowly disappeared.
Jia Ru was slightly surprised and kept silent. His lips moved slightly, as if he was saying something in a voice transmission.
Guo Kezhen put away the night-shining stone in his hand, and pointed to a dark cave not far away with the help of the dim light.
If Guo Kezhen had not put away the night-shining stone in his hand, it would not be easy for everyone to find this hidden little cave.
The six people slowly approached.
The entrance to this cave is only as high as one person, and can barely allow one person to enter.
It was so dark inside the cave entrance that it was hard to see what was there.
However, near the entrance of the cave, there were obvious signs of someone coming in and out.
Jia Ru and the other three people showed a hint of joy on their faces, but they all remained silent.
Guo Kezhen also had a hint of joy on his face. He looked at Ishikawa who was five feet away. The smile on his face was a little stagnant. He pointed at Ishikawa and then at the entrance of the cave. Before Ishikawa could express his stance, he turned to himself. Enter the cave entrance naturally.
Soon, a glimmer of light came from inside the cave entrance.
However, the visibility was not very far, and only about a foot of dark, damp ground could be seen.
When Jia Ru saw Guo Kezhen entering the cave, he immediately entered the cave without any hesitation. Mo Qianwan and Luo Beihua pondered for a moment, and then entered one after another.
Seeing this, Chen Ruoqing pulled Ishikawa's sleeve and ran towards the cave entrance.
However, Ishikawa's body did not move at all.
Chen Ruoqing looked at Shi Chuan in surprise and said through a message: "Senior Brother Shi, they have all gone in, let's go in quickly."
"Don't be anxious!" Ishikawa said in a message.
At this time, Ishikawa was having a careful discussion with the demon dragon.
Before entering the stone chamber, Ishikawa had already discovered the dark cave entrance, and both Ishikawa and the monster dragon used their spiritual consciousness to search the cave inside.
There was indeed a demon power in the cave, but Ishikawa did not find any high-level demon clan.
However, Ishikawa could feel from the aura of this demon power that the high-level demon clan was not weak. Even if it was injured, it was not something that a few golden elixir stage monks could kill.
Ishikawa was very suspicious of Guo Kezhen's previous words about causing high-level monsters to retreat with casual attacks.
Ishikawa couldn't help but make a bold guess as to why Guo Kezhen brought everyone here!
However, since Ishikawa dared to come here, he must be fully confident, so he did not panic. Of course, Ishikawa would not rush into it, but would discuss countermeasures with the monster dragon.
The demon dragon is eager to meet a high-level demon clan. He can greatly increase his own cultivation by devouring the opponent's inner elixir. So I'm very concerned about this.
Chen Ruoqing had a look of helplessness on her face. She wanted to enter the cave, but Ishikawa was not moved at all. She fell into an extremely contradictory situation.
Ishikawa was not in a hurry and looked at the cave entrance quietly.
If the high-level demon clan is in the cave, Ishikawa can enter at any time. Doing so can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
In the cave, Guo Kezhen showed a trace of displeasure on his face. He found that Ishikawa and Chen Ruoqing did not enter, which made it difficult for his plan to be realized.
"This person is too cautious. Fortunately, no flaws were found before. Otherwise, the success will definitely fall short this time. Next time, I have to find a good excuse!" Han Kezhen said secretly in his heart.
At this time, a dazzling light suddenly flashed inside the cave.
"Whoosh!" With a sound, a white light flew out from the cave.
"A mere late-stage Jindan cultivator is so thoughtful!" A strange laugh broke the calm of the stone room: "But with this level of cultivation, there is no threat to me, so today, I will deal with you first!"
Chen Ruoqing looked at the white light in surprise, vaguely revealing a human form.
This was an extremely ugly old man, his face was full of pits and pits, and there was even some white liquid slowly flowing out, making it impossible to tell what he looked like.
His bare hands were also covered with spots and pimples, which made people feel indescribable disgust.
Chen Ruoqing looked at Ishikawa, the look of horror on her face became even stronger.
But Ishikawa stood there, motionless, looking confident, as if he had already expected this person to appear.
"Haha, you kid, you actually have some courage!" The ugly old man let out a strange laugh: "Yes, yes, the spiritual energy is quite strong, it is a great tonic. I have not encountered such a great tonic for a long time. A human monk!"
The old man smacked his lips, seeming to be reminiscing about something.
Jia Ru and others rushed out of the cave. After seeing the old man, they all flew swords with nervous expressions on their faces.
They were all a little surprised. Although they couldn't see through the old man's cultivation, judging from his spiritual power and aura alone, he was definitely not easy to deal with! Especially what he said to Ishikawa just now is even more chilling! (To be continued...)
