When Yu Cheng heard what Fairy Qin said, his heart trembled. After thinking about it, he said, "Does Fairy have any good ideas? We are all here. We can't just wait at the entrance of the cave, right?"
"It's not difficult at all. Just let a puppet explore the way in front and I will follow!" Fairy Qin said with a flash of her eyes.
"Mr. Bai happens to have a puppet here. Although it is of a lower rank, if it is just exploring the path, it shouldn't be a big problem." After Bai Yuxing heard this, after saying this, he suddenly shook his sleeves and robe, and a ruler Xu Chang's snake-shaped puppet appeared on the ground out of thin air.
"Fellow Taoist is also involved in the way of puppets?" Yang Fan asked with a slight movement in his expression when he saw that the snake-shaped puppet was all emerald green and its body looked extremely soft when twisting, as if it were the real thing.
"Fellow Daoist Yang laughed. In his early years, Bai had happened to study some secret techniques for refining puppets. He simply had nothing to do. He actually refined a few puppets according to the records. However, the grade was too low to be of great use. Basically, they were all useless. It has been destroyed, and this is the last one left." Bai Yuxing said with a strange color in his eyes, seemingly casually.
"Although this puppet of Fellow Daoist Bai is not of high grade, its appearance, body and expression are all the same as those of a living creature. According to Yang, Fellow Daoist Bai's attainments in the art of puppetry should be quite high." Yang Fan hehehe Twice.
Bai Yuxing smiled awkwardly when he heard the words, but didn't say anything else.
"Isn't it just a puppet technique? What's all the fuss about? Let's quickly urge the puppet to enter the cave to explore." Yu Cheng urged impatiently.
"It seems that fellow Taoist Yu is really impatient, so Bai will let this puppet in immediately." Seeing this, Bai Yuxing chuckled lightly, then pointed his finger towards the hole with one hand and said, " "Go" word.
The green little snake swallowed the snake core. Immediately he shook his body and crawled towards the hole, and with a leap behind him, he vaguely disappeared into the darkness.
Seeing this, Bai Yuxing pinched it with one hand and twisted his body. He suddenly became almost invisible, and even started to use the art of concealment.
"Fellow Taoists, please follow me later." After Bai Yuxing said this, he took steps to follow the little green snake.
Seeing this, Fairy Qin and Yu Cheng also activated their concealment techniques and entered the entrance of the cave.
When Yang Fan saw Bai Yuxing and others disappearing in front of his eyes, he touched his chin and thought for a moment. Then he followed.
As soon as he entered the cave, Yang Fan immediately raised his eyes and looked around. He saw that the few people were in a sloping and curved passage. It was dim and obscured by a stone wall at the corner, making it impossible to see the end. But this posture seems to go straight to the ground.
The passage is very dry, without even a trace of moisture, and the air is very thin. If an ordinary person enters it, he or she may not be able to stay for long. On the stone walls of the surrounding passages, there were densely packed traces of bites, almost everywhere. I think it must have something to do with those zerg.
After a stick of incense, Yang Fan and his group passed through several passages under the leadership of the snake-shaped puppet. However, due to the gentle slope of the passage, everyone only reached a depth of tens of meters underground, but they were still peaceful in front of them. Not a single insect appeared in the ruined passages and caves that had arrived without any trace before, which made Yang Fan and the others secretly surprised.
However, since there was no danger, Yang Fan and others did not stop and continued to urge the snake-shaped puppet to go deep underground along the passage.
And just when a group of people descended to a depth of more than 200 feet. There was a sudden buzzing sound from the corner ahead, followed by a "bang bang" sound.
When everyone heard the sound, they couldn't help but stop. Yu Cheng first asked: "Fellow Daoist Bai, what's going on ahead?"
Bai Yuxing frowned. He said: "It's just a group of mid-level insects. They must be on guard here."
"If you want to put it this way, I am not far from the real nest of the alien insects." Fairy Qin whispered with a slight change in expression, and then said, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Bai's puppets can deal with those alien insects. Do I need to wait to take action?" ?".
"Although the level of Bai's puppets is not high, it is still not a problem to deal with them." Bai Yuxing said lightly.
Yang Fan, on the other hand, did not speak from the beginning to the end. He just secretly performed a spell and looked forward with a faint flash of black light in his eyes.
After a while, the dark light in Yang Fan's eyes suddenly dimmed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At the same time, the roaring in front stopped suddenly. After a few people looked at each other, they walked over.
After turning around the corner of the passage, there was first a fishy smell. Everyone frowned subconsciously, and then looked around and saw that there were many potholes on the surrounding stone walls and the ground, and most of them were "squeaky". Wisps of black energy, obviously suffered some kind of impactIt was the result of being corroded by venom, but the snake-shaped puppet, which was about a foot long, was coiled into a ball without any damage, with the snake core in its mouth hesitating and rushing forward to look at something. However, after looking through the passage, I didn't see the shadow of a single insect. There were only some scattered remains on the ground that looked like aliens, but in one or two breaths, they turned into pieces of foam for some unknown reason.
"Huh? It seems that the puppet of Fellow Daoist Bai is not as simple as it appears. The venom is so toxic that it will be extremely troublesome for us to get some of it." Fairy Qin said with a twinkle in her eye.
When Yu Cheng saw this, his face showed some strange color. But Yang Fan didn't seem to care. He just looked at it briefly and lost interest.
"Without some special means, how could Bai let it explore the road ahead? Well, now that traces of the zerg have been found here, it means that I should not be far from the target. You should be careful, lest you get there in time What happened?" Bai Yuxing chuckled, suddenly changed the topic, and then pointed forward with the pincher in his hand, and the snake-shaped puppet continued to crawl towards the front passage.
Seeing this, everyone fell silent again and followed the snake-shaped puppet deeper into the passage.
In less than half an hour, Yang Fan and his party encountered several insect attacks. However, the highest level of the insect was only Nascent Soul, and their number suddenly decreased greatly. The snake-shaped puppet went through all the obstacles and led the group deep into the Nearly a thousand feet deep, and appeared in an underground cave-like place, with dense stone pillars as thick as arms hanging from the top, and the sound of "tick-tick-tick" falling water came one after another.
" Several people looked around, but they couldn't see the edge, and it was very dark, with no light at all.
Seeing this, Yang Fan raised one hand, and several fist-sized light balls flew out. The light flickered, illuminating the cave as bright as day.
But at this moment, Yang Fan's expression suddenly changed, his shoulders swayed, and he moved ten feet away out of thin air.
At the same time, there was a soft sound of "chi", and a white light emerged from an inconspicuous corner of the cave without any warning, and flew past Yang Fan's previous position in a flash, followed by another blur. Disappeared without a trace.
When Bai Yuxing and others saw this, their hearts trembled. If the white light had just shot towards them, they might not be able to dodge it as easily as Yang Fan. They immediately released their spiritual thoughts and swept around, but in the end they found nothing. Bai Yuxing frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang, can you see clearly what that thing is?"
Yang Fan pondered for a moment and said: "The white light was too fast and the whole picture could not be discerned. However, Yang can be sure that it was transformed from an insect, and its level must be at least in the early stage of transformation."
"If you want to put it that way, that insect from before is probably the leader of the insect swarm?" Yu Cheng's eyes flashed.
"It shouldn't be that simple. There are countless swarms of insects, and it can't be reproduced by just one or two. According to my estimation, there must be at least several of these insects here." Yang Fan touched He touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
Fairy Qin said: "What Fellow Daoist Yang said is true, but that insect looked difficult to deal with earlier. If several appear at once, it will definitely be a big problem."
"Fairy Qin is over-concerned. The insect just relies on its wonderful escape skills. Otherwise, how could it hide immediately if it misses a hit? If we really take action, are we afraid that we won't be able to kill it with our methods?" Yu Cheng curled his lips and said, not caring.
"Having said that, we can't be careless. If we get hurt because of this, the gain will outweigh the loss." Bai Yuxing warned.
Hearing this, several people nodded and then looked around with slightly narrowed eyes.
A moment later, a bright light suddenly flashed from the corner of the stone wall on one side, and a ball of white light emerged. After a sound of breaking through the air, it shot straight towards the row of white jade.
At the same time, several groups of white light also appeared in other corners of the cave, and after circling, they pounced towards Yang Fan and others.
Seeing this, Bai Yuxing snorted coldly, then immediately stretched out his finger to the opposite side, and with a "snap" sound, a small red sword only a few inches long shot out, and disappeared in a flash, clashing with the white light group. together. But the situation below made him look shocked. With a "ding" sound, the white light group was immediately shot away. After the light converged, a body about a foot long appeared from it. The whole body was milky white, and behind it was A strange insect with two pairs of thin wings appeared. Its face is hideous and terrifying, and it is very vicious. Both sides of its abdomen are densely covered with sharp legs like saw-toothed sickles. Its appearance is very similar to that of a centipede that has been enlarged hundreds or thousands of times. A bit of icy air came out of his mouth.
Although this strange insect looks weak, its body is covered with tough scales. After it was slashed by the red sword, there was only a white mark on the surface., and after hovering in mid-air for a few times, it seemed to be unharmed, and with a ferocious hiss, it pounced towards Bai Yuxing again.
Bai Yuxing couldn't help but gasped when he saw this. Although this small red sword was not his natal magic weapon, it was powerful enough to make the skin of monsters of the same level rip open. However, this strange insect did not suffer much damage at all, and all of a sudden Be aroused with ferocity.
