Chapter 9 The Lair Was Destroyed

Chapter 9 The Lair Was Destroyed

Carefully read the two secret books given by Gu Qinglan.

'Cloud Shadow Step', circulates the Qi along a specific route, making the body as light as a cloud or a shadow to dodge attacks.

(This is a good trick.)

"The Great Sword Art" opened the first page and a few large characters stood out.

'To practice this technique, one must reach the foundation-building stage.'

(This is really a bummer. But it’s almost there, I’m almost at the foundation building stage!)

Continue to read the secret book.

(Strange, I know every word in this secret book, but I don’t know them when they are put together. It’s really strange. Forget it, I will study it after I build my foundation. I’d better learn this step first.)

He put away the secret book and started practicing around.

(It looks like today is another beautiful day!)

A few days later, at night.

Lin Yixuan woke up from his dream again.

Looking at the entrance vigilantly, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance and staggered in.

"Give me a seat, I'll take a break!"

As the woman spoke, she fainted and fell down!

I rushed forward to support him, and when I looked up, I saw blood all over the place, and I said to myself, "Oh no!"

(How could this woman be so stupid that she doesn't even understand such a simple principle of survival?)

Feeling the increasing pressure.

I picked up Gu Qinglan, and immediately performed the "Cloud Shadow Step", and got out of the cave in a few flashes.

I saw a huge hoof stepping towards the top of the cave. With a muffled sound, the cave collapsed instantly.

Looking at the collapsed cave, my face was filled with black lines.

(Not only did this woman play with fire, she also brought trouble to me.)

Looking at the spirit beasts that were gathering not far away and the roars that continued to come, that strange feeling of oppression was getting closer and closer.

(It feels like a big guy is coming.)

I held Gu Qinglan in my arms, performed the Cloud Shadow Step, and ran all the way until the strange feeling was alleviated a lot!

I feel like I'm at my wits' end.

(Anyone who hesitates will definitely die on the spot, with no chance of survival at all. Could this woman have poked the monster's lair? She probably angered the big boss and got tricked!)

(Calm down. The more times like this, the calmer you need to be. Even though you can't tell the direction anymore, you should be able to get away from them for now. It's only a matter of time before they catch up with you. The most urgent thing is to find a place to hide.)

I looked around and found a small hole at the root of a towering tree in front of me.

(That’s it!)

I quickly came to the entrance of the cave and slid down without hesitation.

When I realized something was wrong, I freed my right hand, pulled out the 'Cold Light Dagger' and inserted it into the soil next to it, stopping its downward trend. I could feel that the dagger had cut through many tree roots.

(Finally stopped!)

The original way of holding has also become the way of hugging,

(Why is this tree hole so deep? Something is wrong!)

At this moment, Gu Qinglan in his arms moved her eyelashes slightly and opened her eyes. She seemed to feel the hot chest and struggled.

"Don't move, or I'll let go. I don't know what's going on down there!"

After hearing what I said, Gu Qinglan seemed to stop struggling.

Gu Qinglan adjusted her position slightly and asked in confusion.

"Where are we now?"

"I don't know either. I only know that we entered a tree hole of a towering tree. I don't know where we are now."

Only a soft "hmm" was heard.

Then I felt Gu Qinglan burying her head deeper into his chest.

"Take a bottle out of my arms and throw it down now!"

I lowered my head and spoke softly.

Gu Qinglan gently reached her hand into my arms, fumbled around, and then took out a few bottles.

I was just about to throw it all away.

"Don't throw the small one, throw the biggest one down, and put the others back."

I said anxiously.

Listening to the sound of the bottle falling, it stopped after a while.

I put the dagger back and continued to slide down, and soon I reached the bottom.

I loosened my arms around her, and Gu Qinglan staggered and felt like she was about to fall to the ground!

I quickly helped her up and asked her with concern.

"Are you OK?"

"It's OK, better than last time."

My face was full of black lines.

(That's not bad, that's how hard-headed he must be, but at least he didn't faint, and there were no bloody holes on his body, which is good news. It's good news, and it will be good news when the injuries are less serious.)

"Oh~~" I sighed, shook my head helplessly, and helped her walk forward.

However, as I walked forward, I realized something was wrong.

(Isn’t this the place where I fell just now? Even the medicine bottle is here. Is this a ghost wall? No, it’s an illusion array. It should be an illusion array!)

"Gu Qinglan, we may be trapped in an illusion. Can you break it?" I asked.

"Let me try! Help me sit down first!"

Gu Qinglan replied.

I helped her sit down, then took out a blue bottle from my arms and handed it to Gu Qinglan.

"Eat it. It will be good for your injury!"

She took the pill suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and put it in her mouth.

Not long after, my complexion instantly became rosy and I felt a lot better!

"Is this the 'Resilience Pill'? A mid-level Xuan-grade pill. How do you have such a good pill? Although this pill is a Xuan-grade pill, its price is infinitely close to that of a Di-grade pill."

"Is this elixir very precious?"

I asked doubtfully.

"Of course. The Soul-Restoring Pill can quickly repair body injuries, especially internal injuries. The key is that it has no side effects. The recipe has long been extinct. How do you have the Soul-Restoring Pill? And it looks like you have quite a few."

Gu Qinglan said this while shaking the bottle.

"Hmm~~, do you believe me when I tell you that I made it myself?"

I asked tentatively

"I believe it. I believe you are in the Nascent Soul stage. I don't believe that you obtained this through refining."

Gu Qinglan gave her own answer.

"Oh, that's how it is!"

I nodded as if I understood something.

"Did you really make it?"

Gu Qinglan turned around and looked at me with some confusion.

"I'm just kidding, but you believe it? You're such a fool that you can't even take a joke. Break the formation quickly!"

I urged.

Gu Qinglan had a round bead in her hand. She chanted a spell and the bead began to glow and spin.

When it rotates to a certain height, it explodes with a bang, turning into little bits of starlight that fall around.

"Found it!" Gu Qinglan immediately took out his sword and stabbed it into the tree trunk beside him.

I saw light flowing all around.

A dead tree disappeared, revealing a passage.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Gu Qinglan said, and walked forward

After walking forward for a while, we came to a fork in the road.

There is a stone tablet in front of each passage, with the words "Naihe Bridge" and "Road of Life and Death" written on them respectively.

"Here, which way to go?"

Gu Qinglan looked at me and asked for my opinion.

I stared at the Naihe Bridge closely.

(What can I do? What can I do? Who can do anything to me? Naihe Bridge, is it the Naihe Bridge that I walked across after drinking Mengpo Soup?)

I shuddered. (There is no Mengpo Tanghe River, so walking on the Naihe Bridge is definitely not an option. Life and death cycle, reincarnation, it shouldn’t be that serious…)

"Let's go this way!" He pointed to the passage with the stone tablet of the Road of Life and Death.

"Then I'll go with you, so that I can take care of you if anything happens."

Gu Qinglan replied!

After discussing it, the two walked towards the right passage together.

A gust of wind blew and dust flew.

There was a line of small words written below the road of life and death, "Those who are not of the same mind cannot walk through this passage!"
