(288 Demons Run Alawless)

When the wood was besieged by Yuli Volcano, Gou Zhu was starving to the bottom of the lake, looking at one pit after another like a huge well.

There is more than one of these pits, all over the bottom of the lake, about one in a hundred zhang, and I can't count how many there are. They are clearly not naturally formed, but are excavated by artificial or mana-induced magic weapons. Although it has been a long time, there are still traces of excavation on the cave wall.

Such a huge project can never be completed in a short period of time. I don't know how many years it took to dig.

Hook is itching unbearably again.

Since there are these large holes, there must be some kind of precious mineral deposit in them. Otherwise, who would want to spend manpower to do this? And they weren't digging up the ice that could be seen directly at the bottom of the lake.

Although Yan Bing contained extremely pure corpse qi, it was basically useless except for making explosive magic weapons. Moreover, the hot ice cannot be preserved, and will dissipate as soon as it reaches the surface of the water. What's more, these hot ice are formed by solidification on the surface of the bottom of the lake, and should not be buried deep in the ground.

"Is it digging for gold?" thought to Gou Zhu, his eyes reddened, and he couldn't help but flash a picture of gold shining everywhere in his mind. He'd stolen all sorts of places, but he hadn't really stolen gold, so he didn't know how wonderful it was.

However, he is no longer a thief, so he should no longer steal. Thinking of this, Gou Zhu shook his head again and again, thinking that this was obviously just a mine that others had already given up, and it was not a steal to go down and get some residues by himself, at most it was just a duty to help others clean up the garbage.

He tried to climb the wall of the cave to see if he could get into the hole. It turned out that it always went down to a depth of 100 feet, and the bottom was filled with that kind of oily black mud. It may be due to the age of the transverse hole below that has already collapsed. Gou Zhu took out the Heart-Saving Sword and used it as a chisel to dig for a long time, but he didn't see a trace of gold.

It's all black mud full of corpse gas.

Gou Zhu was disappointed, and it took a lot of effort to return to the bottom of the lake, scolding and continuing to move forward, completely breaking the idea of making a big profit at the bottom of the lake and making up for the loss of 10,000 taels of silver.

At this time, the Nineteenth was obviously getting closer and closer to him, and I am afraid that the distance was less than two or three miles. It's just that the bottom of the lake is too dim, and there are some undulating low mountain-like protrusions that he can't see each other for a while.

He was getting closer and closer to Huang Lu, only about ten miles or so. It's just that Huang Lu feels more and more like something strange to him.

"Huang Quan?" Gou Xuan was secretly taken aback. Although Huang Lu and Huang Quan were originally one, the divine senses of these two people gave him a very different feeling.

If Huang Quan took advantage of the opportunity to grasp Huang Lu's physical body, he could still use the soul breath imprint on their divine consciousness to control it, force it to flip, and let Huang Lu regain control of his physical body. But if Huang Quan manipulated this body to fly away from now on, running hundreds or even thousands of miles away, he had no way to control it, then there was no way at all.

In this way, Gou Zhu was anxious, and his feet involuntarily accelerated his speed.

Just in the direction where Gou Zhu was going, Li Chongxiu of the Water Virtue Academy of the Five Elements Sect was sent out by the elder Xing Ziming, and was driving the Dark Water Angler to the place where the eyes were hanging and abnormal, just in the opposite direction of Gou Zhu, and the two were about to meet face to face.

At this time, he met three other trumpet-sized Stygian Anglers, each with a monk on it, and their cultivation was between the third and fifth layers of the foundation, wandering in the water boringly.

They were all dressed in monochrome black, with hats on their heads and large black capes. I can't tell that he is a disciple of He Zong at all. Seeing Li Chongxiu coming, they all greeted respectfully:

"Senior Brother Li, where is this going?"

"There seems to be an outsider intruding on a place, so I'll go and see. ”

"Oh, with such a good thing, how can you forget a few of our brothers?"

"It is all right for you to come with you, for the head is yours. Li Chongxiu smiled briskly.

These patrol disciples arranged in this lake by the Water Virtue Academy of the Five Elements Sect are all in groups of three, and they are called "night patrol ghosts" in the sect.

They are different from Li Chongxiu. Li Chongxiu is an official disciple of the Five Elements Sect, and he is only stationed at the bottom of this lake. The night patrol ghost is a cultivator in the Five Elements Sect who has no qualifications, and has a violent personality, and has committed a crime, and has been deprived of his official disciple status. So no matter how he cultivated, Li Chongxiu's status was much higher than theirs.

Nightwatchmen are forbidden to steal any resources from the Crypt, and are forbidden to hunt Chambers. They must not claim to be disciples of the Five Elements Sect to the outside world, and can only secretly receive a meager life-saving elixir from Elder Xing of the Water Virtue Academy as a reward.

The rest of the time, they spend their days patrolling the crypt in groups of three, hunting down monks who intend to sneak in or accidentally enter the area.

The area around Jinzhou was originally the territory of the Five Elements Sect, and most of the sects and families were related to the Five Elements Sect. The Five Elements Sect, as the upper sect, has clearly explained that in order to avoid damaging the foundation of the teleportation array, it is absolutely forbidden to escape underground or water within a radius of a hundred miles from the teleportation array in Yuntian City. Those who violate without permission will be killed.

Therefore, most of the people who come here are casual cultivators who take risks for the sake of cultivating resources. These night watchmen are completely free to hunt and kill, and they are not afraid to offend anyone.

Every time they handed in a head, they would be recorded a great merit, and they would exchange a lot of pills and even exercises from the Five Elements Sect. If you have accumulated enough credit, you can also get a place to leave here and resume your official discipleship.

Although it is said that from time to time some monks from both the water and earth systems enter this place by mistake or take risks, it is rare. They often don't come to business a few times a year. Every day here is not the light of day, and they are also bored. So as soon as someone intrudes, they get excited. For them, the real hunting game just began.

One of the bearded men smiled and narrowed his eyes, and said to the two companions: "If the prey this time is a male cultivator, it is still the old rule that everything and the head are divided equally. But if it's a nun, no one is allowed to kill it. You may take all your possessions, but they will leave me alive. I will not use the head, but I will take it off and give it to you in three days' time. ”

The other two laughed and said, "Li Xiangran, you are really a hungry ghost! ”

These night patrol ghosts are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Five Elements Patrol Defense, but most of them are scum of the Xuanmen, lustful and greedy for money. Even so, what they most longed for was to leave this dark cave and return to the Five Elements Sect to cultivate.

The head is the only credit they can calculate. Each person must collect three heads in order to redeem a place for reinstatement of official disciple status. The usual hunt is divided equally among three people, and only one person can get one-third of the head if he hunts it. Therefore, since Li Xiangran gave up his head and property, of course the other two couldn't ask for it.

Li Chongxiu smiled and said, "Senior Brother Li, I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed." He didn't say it explicitly, but the person he saw in his suspense was obviously not a nun.

One large, three small, and four Dark Anglefish rushed almost to the bottom of the lake in this water, rolling up the mud and sand at the bottom of the lake, and rushing forward like an earth dragon. Turning over a high mountain at the bottom of a lake, Li Chongxiu suddenly stopped the dark water anglerfish. The three night watchmen behind him also stopped.

"That's ...... Alone?"

Under the fluorescence in the sky, there is a slender figure at the bottom of the lake in front of him, wearing a snow-white dress, a turquoise pattern armor, a pale green silk waist, and a long hair drifting down the river behind him. It's just that she seems to have fought hard in this cave, and her clothes are a little torn.

Li Chongxiu had just stood still, and the man looked at him at a glance. At the bottom of this dim lake, her eyes glowed blue, illuminating the front.

She was a petite nun who walked alone at the bottom of this lake. Li Chongxiu could see at a glance that this person was only the strength of the foundation threefold. As for why she was able to dive deep underwater, it may have contained a magic weapon such as a water bead.

"Haha, it's really a female cultivator. None of you want to rob me!" the bearded man with the surname of Li let out a wild laugh, and he couldn't wait to urge the Stygian Angler to pounce.

This woman was none other than her, and it was she who followed her induction and traveled a long way to find the nineteenth of Gou. Fortunately, Gou Zhu had the experience of almost starving to death in the nineteenth in the Transmission Tower, and this time she went far away to make sufficient preparations for her. She was specially equipped with an immortal lotus, and the immortal lotus was filled with thousands of pure yang pills, and the Xuanyin pill was also prepared with more than a dozen.

She traveled all the way, encountered beasts and slaughtered beasts, destroyed ghosts, and took pills when she was hungry, and came all the way here. She is the body of a fairy tree, and entering the water does not hinder her breathing, but it is quite difficult to sink into the water. She tied two stones to the soles of her shoes and went to the bottom of the lake to look for Gou.

finally saw someone appear, she was overjoyed, thinking that someone could finally come and ask about Gou Zhu's whereabouts. There was no sound in the water, and the people were all talking to each other. But she still felt a wave of water rushing in, and when she looked up, she saw the black-faced bearded man, sitting on top of an extremely ugly strange fish, with a strange smile on his face, and greeted him directly.

The nineteenth was about to transmit the sound to ask, but saw that the man stopped sitting down and shook the strange fish, and then stretched out his hand and shook it, and a rope ring with golden aura was put on himself, just binding his arms around his waist, and a strong binding force immediately restrained himself.
