Chapter 202 Secret Way
Chapter 202 The Secret Way
Time has not passed long. After about one stick of incense, Chongxiao Linghe brought back the news that the three major sects that went out to the new mine were indeed besieged by the underground demon army, and it was led by three Yasha commanders themselves.
All this was long as Qin Chuan expected. The mine where the three sects went was important in geographical location and attracted great attention. Once they entered the range, they would definitely be discovered soon.
The underground demon army was looking for traces of human monks who broke into this place at this time. When they found out, they would inevitably go to the siege immediately. The three sects restrained the attention of the underground demon army for the Yuhua Sect, so it was the best time for the Yuhua Sect to operate!
Qin Chuan immediately stood up and ordered the four elders to go to the abandoned mine cave as they had arranged before and place the Zixia Movement Monument.
He and Sun Jinpeng walked out of the mine together, rode on the Chongxiao Ling Crane, and rushed towards the direction where the Zanglong Cave was located.
In the Zanglong Mountain area, the strength of the underground demons is generally low. Before becoming a flying yaksha, the Earth Demon had no ability to fly. Therefore, it is very safe for Qin Chuan and Sun Jinpeng to fly in the sky.
The distance from the mine where they were at this time to the Zanglong Cave was not close, but the distance was not close to the Chongxiao Ling Crane, and it quickly arrived at its destination under the unblocked rapid flight of the Chongxiao Spirit Crane.
This destination is not the Hidden Dragon Cave. After all, Hidden Dragon Cave is an extremely important stronghold for the underground demon race here. It is located in the core area of the area where the demon army is stationed, and its defense is extremely strict. A cultivator at the ninth level of Qi training stage, let alone sneaking into it, even if he wants to get close, he has no chance.
Qinchuan’s destination is actually an inconspicuous valley dozens of miles west of Zanglong Cave.
This valley covers a small area, with rugged rocks, no vegetation, only a pool of green and gray stagnant water.
If you don’t understand the situation of the underground world, no one will associate such a barren valley with the Hidden Dragon Cave.
However, Qin Chuan, who has detailed pictures of the underground world, knows that there is actually a secret path to the Tibetan Dragon Cave hidden in this inconspicuous valley.
This secret path is among the army of earthly demons, and very few people know it. There are no guards here usually. As for what the secret path is, Qin Chuan doesn't know, even in the detailed map of the underground world, there is no record at all.
Of course, this is not something Qin Chuan needs to pay attention to now. The only thing he needs to pay attention to is how to use this secret path and enter the Hidden Dragon Cave without knowing it.
"Brother Qin, this valley really has a way to enter the hidden dragon cave you mentioned?" When Qin Chuan was calculating in his mind, Sun Jinpeng couldn't help asking in a puzzled tone.
After all, from Qin Chuan's mouth, Sun Jinpeng had learned the importance of the Hidden Dragon Cave. However, the situation in this valley really makes people unable to associate it with "important".
Qin Chuan explained his doubts to Sun Jinpeng: "Brother Sun, we don't even have the possibility of getting close to it at the real entrance of the Zanglong Cave. In this valley, there is a secret path leading to the Zanglong Cave. At the entrance of the secret path, there is an extremely powerful killing array defense. You must pass it carefully later according to the method I said. Once the prohibition is accidentally touched, let alone the cultivation level of our two Qi training stages, even if we come from the Foundation Establishment stage, we will be scattered!"
Seeing that Qin Chuan was so serious, Sun Jinpeng certainly did not dare to be careless. He immediately listened to what Qin Chuan said through the formation restriction method, and kept every word and sentence in his heart.
After telling Sun Jinpeng all the ways to pay attention to, Qin Chuan began to enter the secret path first. Of course, he had a clear memory of the way through the secret path. When he walked, every step was extremely accurate, without any mistakes.
As for Sun Jinpeng, he is also a smart person and has the ability to remember everything he sees. In addition, with Qin Chuan demonstrating in front of him, he also stepped into every direction with extremely accurate accuracy and successfully passed the formation ban.
The prohibition at the entrance of this secret path was originally the biggest restriction for entering the secret cave. There was no possibility that the monks under the Jindan stage could forcibly break through the formation prohibition and enter the secret path.
However, Qin Chuan now uses the precise information he has mastered to pass this restriction without any effort.
After successfully passing the formation ban, Qin Chuan couldn't help but breathe a long sigh. At the same time, a narrow and dark secret passage was completely presented to him.
This secret passage looks extremely twisted and chaotic. There are some strange and gloomy pictures on the stone walls on both sides. In some places, human skulls, arm bones, ribs and other white bones are even hung, which looks creepy. However, the detailed picture of the underground world says that this secret passage, which looks gloomy and terrifying, actually has no danger inside. Just walk on with confidence.
While walking forward, Qin Chuan said to Sun Jinpeng: "Brother Sun, at the end of this secret path, there is a powerful monster guarding it. You must pay attention that when we walk to the place of a white bone lotus, we must start to restrain our breath and be very careful. Once the movement is too loud and the monster is alarmed, we may die without a burial place."
After hearing Qin Chuan's words, Sun Jinpeng couldn't help but ask curiously: "How powerful are the monsters in the cave?"
Qin Chuan responded: "A adult level 4 monster has approximately the strength of a human cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building."
In the middle stage of foundation building? After hearing this, Sun Jinpeng couldn't help but secretly stick out his tongue.
As an experienced cultivator, Sun Jinpeng knew very well. Even like Qin Chuan, who has multiple magic weapons at the level of spiritual weapons, at most he would only have the opportunity to escape in front of the middle stage of foundation building. There is no possibility of defeating a cultivator with this kind of cultivation.
If the monster at the end of the secret path has really reached level 4, then it must not be alarmed.
"Brother Qin, is it a three-way intersection at the end of this secret road?" Sun Jinpeng secretly guessed in his heart and asked Qin Chuan.
Originally, he thought that this was the only reasonable explanation. However, Qin Chuan immediately shook his head and denied his speculation: "This secret path is the only secret road entering Zanglong Cave, without any forks or other roads."
"What? There is no crossroads? Then how could we enter the Hidden Dragon Cave without disturbing the monsters?" Sun Jinpeng was puzzled and continued to ask.
Qin Chuan said confidently: "Our goal is not to enter the Hidden Dragon Cave without alarming the monster, because the monster is naturally sensitive to hearing, and it is impossible not to disturb it. Our goal is to kill this monster and then enter the Hidden Dragon Cave!"
Sun Jinpeng widened his eyes in disbelief: "What?! Kill it?! With the strength of the two of us, there is no possibility of competing with a level 4 monster!"
Qin Chuan smiled faintly and said, "No matter how difficult things are in this world, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can always find a suitable method. You don't have to rush to ask now, just pay attention to the many bone lotus flowers!"
After hearing Qin Chuan's words, Sun Jinpeng stopped saying anything, but just walked side by side with Qin Chuan. Although Sun Jinpeng knew that Qin Chuan's cultivation was one level lower than his, since he met Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan's various behaviors made Sun Jinpeng admire him from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, since Qin Chuan said so, Sun Jinpeng was willing to believe that he was sure. As long as he followed him well, he would not be wrong.
Of course, while remaining silent, Qin Chuan was also closely watching the surrounding environment and carefully searching for the traces of the white bone lotus that Qin Chuan mentioned.
Hard work pays off. After a long journey, when the end of the secret path gradually appeared in front of him, the white bone lotus that Qin Chuan mentioned finally entered Sun Jinpeng's sight.
Sun Jinpeng's eyes jumped and he hurriedly said to Qin Chuan: "Brother Qin, I found the traces of the white bone lotus! Look at the strange flower in front of me, is it a white bone lotus?"
Qin Chuan looked at the direction Sun Jinpeng said, and indeed saw a distinctly layered and strange white lotus pattern appearing in front of him, exactly the same as the white bone lotus flower in the detailed map of the underground world.
According to the detailed picture, this white bone lotus is the bone remaining by human cultivators. Over time, it absorbs the gloomy energy in the underground world and finally transforms into a white bone flower. This white bone flower can be used to refine elixirs, and can refine many magical pills, and can also be used to refine magic weapons. With its material level, as long as the level of the weapon refiner is strong, it can completely refine a magic weapon at the level of spiritual weapon!
Of course, the Bone Lotus also has an extremely important role, which is to act as an indicator light. The location of it is actually a division line between a safe area and a dangerous area. Once it exceeds the location of the Bone Lotus, then the level 4 monster guarding the entrance of the Zanglong Cave may find the breath and traces of the intruders at any time.
Although these many white bone lotus are very precious, Qin Chuan was not greedy at this time. The purpose of his trip to explore the cave was the Five Elements Yuan Ling Stone. Successfully taking the Five Elements Yuan Ling Stone into his hand was the most important thing at this time. Other things are not the time to be greedy.
Although he is still outside the safety line indicated by the White Bone Lotus, Qin Chuan has begun to be careful. He approached the Bone Lotus step by step. Qin Chuan suddenly squatted down and observed carefully on the ground for a while. Then he suddenly moved the Zhiyang Fei Sword, breaking the hard rocks on the ground with force, and temporarily "burying" the Zhiyang Fei Sword into the underground next to the White Bone Lotus.
However, the method of burying the Zhiyang Fei Sword is really strange. Because it was actually the hilt of the sword that was buried in the soil, gradually exposed to the height of more than one foot on the ground. It seemed that the tip of the sword was shining with murderous aura.
Qin Chuan's movements did not stop. When the Zhiyang Feijian was inserted into the rock upside down, only half of the sword tip was exposed outside, Qin Chuan immediately began to use his magic power and poured it onto the Zhiyang Feijian's sword body.
However, this time, it was not to activate the Sun Flying Sword, but to use magic power to cover up the heat emitted from the flying sword as much as possible to prevent any exposure.
Sun Jinpeng stood beside him and watched Qin Chuan be in a vast and unrecognizable way. However, due to the huge danger after exposure, Sun Jinpeng did not choose to ask at this time, but stood silently and watched Qin Chuan perform all the operations.
Qin Chuan used his magic power to push the sword upside down into the rocks underground, and then quickly used a special method to hide all the fiery breath that was revealed by the Zhiyang Fei Sword. The Zhiyang Fei Sword, which was originally flashing with golden light, gradually became as if it had lost all its spiritual energy, with a dark color and no heat.
This state is exactly the best state Qin Chuan wants.
After some tests, Qin Chuan confirmed that the Zhiyang Feijian really had no breath revealed, he felt relieved. He looked up and said to Qin Chuan: "Brother Qin, everything is ready. Please let you enter the secret cave and lure the monsters inside!"
"What? Pull out the monsters inside?" Sun Jinpeng suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief when he heard Qin Chuan say this. Qin Chuan had clearly said in person that if the level 4 monster at the end of the secret passage was alarmed, they would die without a place to bury. At this time, Sun Jinpeng was about to find a way to hide his breath and movements as much as possible, but Qin Chuan suddenly made such a request.
His brain isn't broken, right?
Sun Jinpeng thought in confusion.
Of course, Qin Chuan could see the confusion on Sun Jinpeng's face and explained to him: "Brother Sun, don't worry, I already have a safe way to kill that demon snake. As long as you lure it out, I guarantee it will die on the spot!"
After a pause, Sun Jinpeng continued, "Yes, I want to seduce that demon snake, but there are many specific conditions. You have to use these many bone lotus as a reference object and walk forward ten steps forward, and then issue a spell at will to the end of the secret path. After the spell is bombarded, you cannot stop at all, and you must leave and turn around and run here. In addition, the route of escape is not random. Look carefully on the ground. There are a gray circular mark on many places. You must step on these marks to be effective. Remember, you cannot make mistakes in every step, otherwise the development of things will be far beyond my control!"
Although Sun Jinpeng didn't know what profound meaning was Qin Chuan's arrangements so mysteriously. But to this point, he could only do everything according to Qin Chuan's instructions.
So, he first stood outside the bone lotus, carefully observed the place carved with gray round marks on the ground, and kept them firmly in his heart. Then he took a deep breath and walked into the range of the bone lotus mark.
At this moment, every step is related to the life and death of his life. Sun Jinpeng did not dare to be careless at all and counted every step carefully.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Eight steps, nine steps, ten steps!
After the tenth step, Sun Jinpeng immediately stopped and quickly condensed into a fireball technique in the palm of his hand. Then he waved his hand and threw the fireball that had just condensed into the cave. Then he immediately turned around and ran towards Qin Chuan quickly.
Of course, although he ran very fast, he still made no mistakes. Every step was accurately stepped on the gray round mark.
Qin Chuan's eyes stared at Sun Jinpeng's every step. He was relieved to see that his behavior was very accurate. However, Qin Chuan himself did not relax at all. He kept urging his magic power to control the breath emitted by the Zhiyang Feijian, completely covering up the heat.
Sure enough, everything was consistent with the situation recorded in the detailed map of the underground world. When Sun Jinpeng's fireball was thrown into the end of the secret passage, the level 4 monster resting in it was immediately alarmed.
This intentional provocation immediately angered the monster. The monster's tail was swung, and it made a huge sound like a powerful whip whip on the ground. At the same time, the body twisted and immediately shot out like lightning.
This demon snake is a level 4 monster. Its strength is far higher than that of Qin Chuan and Sun Jinpeng. Although Sun Jinpeng immediately turned around and ran away after firing out the fireball, the demon snake's speed was amazingly fast. It twisted a few times and immediately chased after it. Although the snake's body had not yet approached, the fishy smell emitted from the bloody mouth of the demon snake had already spread in the secret passage.
Qin Chuan continued to activate his magic power to control the Sun Feijian while staring at the figure of the demon snake.
According to the records in the detailed map of the underground world, this demon snake is called the Black Tooth Snake. It not only contains highly toxicity in its body, but also has extremely sensitive reactions. However, like most snakes, the Black Tooth Snake does not rely on vision to support its sensitive actions, but on its sense of smell.
Now, Sun Jinpeng followed Qin Chuan's instructions and stepped on the gray circular marks all the way, and the breath left behind showed a zigzag shape. The black-toothed snake did not know the meaning contained in it, but simply followed the breath and fought all the way, and its body also twisted in a zigzag shape.
Soon, Sun Jinpeng stepped outside the boundary of the bone lotus, roared, urging his entire body to increase his speed to the limit. However, he strictly abides by the rules that Qin Chuan told him before and did not fly into the air.
The black-toothed snake that followed him tightly was also as fast as lightning, and was incompetent, bringing the distance between it and Sun Jinpeng closer and closer.
As for Qin Chuan, who had been controlling the Sun Fei Sword with magic power, he had actually entered the alert range of the Black Tooth Snake. However, since Qin Chuan had been trying his best to restrain his own aura, he was concentrating on chasing Sun Jinpeng and did not realize Qin Chuan's existence.
Of course, the Zhiyang Fei Sword, which had been buried in the underground rocks in advance, was not noticed by the Black Tooth Snake.
