Chapter Eighty-One: Following
A few days have passed, and half of the month-long trip to the Four Sacred Valleys has passed.
In the past half a month, the Four Holy Valleys have naturally not been peaceful. The disciples who entered the valley, some died under the claws of demon beasts, some died in the dangerous special environment, and many more died in fighting each other, compared to the number of disciples when they entered the valley, now there are less than half left!
Moreover, the rest of these disciples are almost all late-stage Qi Vein cultivators, and most of them are hunting for treasures with their fellow disciples.
Treasures that are easy to find and appear in common places have long been divided among the disciples, and some secret, remote and even dangerous dark areas have also begun to have disciples enter to explore and hunt for treasures.
On this day, Li Muran was meditating in the cave with his eyes closed, and after he entered the Four Holy Valleys, he unexpectedly broke through the bottleneck and advanced to become a late-stage Qi Vein cultivator, which was originally a good time to meditate and cultivate and further improve his mana, but he continued to fight with others, but he consumed a lot of mana, and he was very tired.
In the past few days, Li Muran has not only received a good rest, but with the help of some elixir spirit stones, his mana has also improved a lot. It was the time of great form, but he was still hiding in the cave and did not plan to go out.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of falling rocks in the distance outside the cave, and he immediately held his breath and listened more attentively.
Li Muran heard some movements, and in order to confirm it, he attached his ear to the rock at the entrance of the cave and felt it carefully.
"Someone has come to the neighborhood to hunt for treasures, but there is still some distance from here, and this cave should not be visible!" Li Muran's heart was relieved.
In the past two days, there have been two similar situations, but these treasure-hunting disciples will go to investigate those places where the vegetation is lush and the heaven and earth are full of vitality, and they will not attract much attention to the small hills full of rocks near the cave, even if they pass by, they will not open these rocks to investigate carefully, so it is unlikely that they will see the cave where Li Muran is hiding.
Li Muran put away the exercises, paused his meditation, and waited for those treasure-hunting disciples to leave the area.
After a while, Li Muran appeared, not only did the other party not leave, but gradually walked towards the vicinity, and the footsteps were extremely chaotic, and under careful listening, there was definitely more than one person.
"It seems to be a group of people, at least seven or eight!" Li Muran was taken aback, this is a very peculiar phenomenon in the Four Holy Valleys, a group of people traveling together, although it is safer, but the efficiency of treasure hunting is too low, and the treasures found may be difficult to divide evenly among a group of people. Generally speaking, it is only a group of three or five at most.
The footsteps of this group of people are getting closer and closer, and Li Muran is even more sure that there are definitely a lot of people in this group.
After these people approached the cave for more than a hundred feet, there were faint voices of some words.
Li Muran listened attentively, and now it was the chatter and laughter of some monks, although he couldn't hear the specific content intermittently, but judging from the tone, it seemed that these people were quite relaxed and excited.
However, their target was obviously not Li Muran's hiding place, because after passing by more than 100 zhang nearby, they went directly to the depths of the hill, and there was no hidden cave behind the rocks not far away.
Li Muran's heart was slightly relieved, and he waited quietly for a while, those people were still exploring the depths of this hill, and they had no intention of leaving.
Although the other party was still in this area, listening to the footsteps gradually moving away, Li Muran didn't have much to worry about.
Li Muran continued to practice with his eyes closed, but he had just meditated for a little Zhou Tian when he suddenly felt a slight vibration coming from under him.
After listening carefully, Li Muran concluded that this was the movement of a large demon beast running nearby.
This movement is getting stronger and stronger, which means that the demon beast is getting closer and closer to him.
Not long after, there was even a little dust on the top of Li Muran's cave, which showed that the demon beast was only two or three hundred zhang away from here, and it was still approaching!
At this time, the shouts of a group of monks also came to Li Muran's ears, obviously, it was the group of people just now who alarmed this demon beast and chased it all the way here.
Li Muran secretly called out that he was unlucky, and he just hoped that they would not show up in this cave.
His luck was not too bad, when the demon beast was still dozens of zhang away from his cave, it was already surrounded by those monks, and then Li Muran heard a rumbling spell explosion, mixed with the roar of the demon beast, obviously fighting fiercely.
Occasionally, there were also monks' loud shouts, and in the chaos, Li Muran could only hear the words "saber-toothed beast" and so on.
"Saber-toothed beast, that's a third-level demon beast!" Li Muran's heart moved, but there were quite a few monks, so it shouldn't be difficult to deal with.
Sure enough, only a moment later, with a loud boom and a terrible scream from the saber-toothed beast, the neighborhood finally returned to calm, and it was obvious that the battle was over.
"Haha, it's another third-level demon beast!" a young man's excited voice came.
Li Muran was slightly stunned when he heard this voice, because he felt that this voice was quite familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he guessed that the owner of this voice should be a disciple of the Yuan Fu Sect.
"Senior Brother Qingyuezi, is he?" Li Muran's heart moved.
"Along the way, I've already killed more than twenty third-level demon beasts!" Another voice came, and Li Muran was stunned again: "Senior Brother Cai!"
Immediately after, the voices of many disciples came, and Li Muran stopped in his ears, feeling quite familiar, and he also recognized several of them—all of them were his fellow disciples and brothers!
"Could it be that the group of people in the outer gate are all disciples of the Yuan Fu Sect? they actually hunt for treasures in groups?" Li Muran was surprised: "And they also hunted more than twenty third-level demon beasts, tsk, the harvest is really not small!"
"You take away all the sharp teeth of this saber-toothed beast, that's a good material for refining!" An old voice came, making Li Muran's heart skip a beat.
"Ah, it's Uncle Cangxia!" Li Muran was taken aback, and then suddenly said: "No wonder! It turns out that Master Cangxia is in charge, no wonder these disciples of the Yuan Fu Sect are willing to follow the group." Well, with Master Cangxia leading the disciples, there is no place in these four holy valleys that they can't go, so they dare to swagger into the dark area on the topographic map. ”
As soon as Li Muran's heart moved, he wanted to rush into the cave and meet Cangxia Daoren, but he was a little hesitant.
With such a large number of people acting together, it would definitely be easy for other sect disciples to appear, and Fang Jianqiu would be able to find himself easily when the time came.
However, with Cangxia Dao people here, does Fang Jianqiu dare to be unfavorable to himself? Staying in the cave is still a little dangerous to be revealed, staying by Cangxia Dao people's side, then it is foolproof, no matter how powerful Fang Jianqiu is, it is still not worth mentioning in the face of Cangxia Dao people!
Going out or staying seems to be a good choice, but it can be regarded as having its own pros and cons, Li Muran hesitated for a while, and was carefully considering it.
Suddenly, a footstep approached, and it came from the voice of Qing Yuezi: "Ha, there is a sharp tooth that has been blown up here!"
Li Muran's heart sank, Qing Yuezi's words were heard very clearly, and he was obviously very close to him.
"Hey, there's a cave here!" Qing Yuezi exclaimed, followed by a roar of fire, and the boulder at the entrance of the cave was blown to pieces.
"Senior Brother Qingyue, it's me!" the cave was exposed, and Li Muran simply took the initiative to say.
"Who?Senior Brother Zhao?" Qingyuezi Daqi: "What are you hiding here?"
Li Muran put away the talisman array and others, walked out of the cave, and saw many familiar faces.
"There are actually more than twenty people!" Li Muran was startled, there were more than twenty Yuan Fu Sect disciples here, Cangxia Dao people, and they were not far away.
"Disciple to meet the uncle!" Li Muran stepped forward and bowed respectfully, and then saluted to the other senior brothers: "I have seen all the senior brothers and sisters!"
"Senior Brother Zhao, why are you here?" asked Qing Yuezi curiously again.
"Haha, this doesn't need to be asked, the Four Holy Valleys are in danger, and Senior Brother Zhao didn't dare to run around, so he hid and waited to leave. Tsk, what a wise move!" the disciple surnamed Cai laughed loudly.
All the disciples laughed in an uproar, and everyone guessed Li Muran's intentions, this cave is ordinary, and the place is small, what else can you do besides hiding.
Li Muran's face was flushed and he looked quite embarrassed.
Cangxia Daoren coughed lightly and said, "Well, you can be considered witty in doing this, and there is nothing wrong with that. Nameless, do you plan to continue to hide, or follow the old man to explore all over the Four Holy Valleys?"
"Since you see your uncle, you naturally follow your uncle and obey your uncle's orders!" Li Muran said without hesitation.
Cangxia Daoist nodded with satisfaction, and instructed the disciples, "Let's go!"
Li Muran walked into the ranks of disciples and left with everyone. However, what he was a little surprised was that everyone seemed to have already known about his late-stage Qi Pulse cultivation, and they just congratulated him, and they were not surprised.
"Senior Brother Zhao, meet again!" a female disciple in her twenties said with a smile to Li Muran.
"Senior Sister Fang!" Li Muran bowed to her.
Soon after coming out of Jinghu, Li Muran once met this woman on the way, when this woman invited him to go with him, but he refused, and he didn't expect to meet here at this time.
Senior Sister Nafang said: "Senior Brother Zhao's matter in the late stage of advanced qi vein, Senior Sister has already told Senior Uncle Sù and all the senior brothers. All the senior brothers are envious of the opportunity of the junior brother! These days, the senior sister followed the senior uncle and all the senior brothers, went to a lot of places to hunt for treasures, and it was also a slight gain, not only did we kill more than 20 third-level demon beasts, countless second-level and first-level demon beasts, but the senior uncle also personally took action, using the talisman array and the sword talisman to kill two fourth-level green quinoa beasts. There are also a lot of other treasures! I wonder what the junior brother has gained these days?"
Li Muran smiled embarrassedly and said: "Senior brother has been hiding here for a long time, where can I gain anything, I knew that today, I should have promised my senior sister and walked with my senior sister!"
