Chapter 116: Even if it doesn’t work, it has to work

Roars were everywhere, and heavy footsteps were getting closer and closer. Although Yu Yao was anxious, she was unable to speak. Unable to move, she could only be held by Li Chuyi and kept running.

Looking at Li Chuyi who looked calm, Yu Yao's heart gradually calmed down, or rather it was not calm, but a kind of indifference.

"This kid is affectionate and righteous. Even if we really die together with him in the end, it would be good."

With this thought in mind, Yu Yao slowly closed her eyes and began to regulate her breathing silently, repairing the damaged meridians and straightening out the chaotic mana. She wanted to recover as much as possible. Even if she knew she would die, at least she would have the strength to make a last-ditch blow.

After turning a few forks, Li Chuyi suddenly stopped.

Feeling him stop, Yu Yao opened her eyes and looked around, seeing that they were in a straight tunnel. This tunnel is straight and long, probably because it stops in the middle. The exits at both ends are as big as beans, and it is extremely blurry and difficult to see clearly when looking through the hot air in the tunnel.

Yu Yao didn't know why she stopped here and looked at Li Chuyi with some confusion.

Giving her a reassuring smile, Li Chuyi said nothing, but stretched out his hand to pinch a few spells. Following his movements, the wall beside them suddenly became strange. It rippled a few times like water waves. The originally normal wall gradually disappeared, and a hole as high as one person appeared.

Looking at the marks carved by sharp blades on the wall inside the cave entrance, Yu Yao's eyes widened in surprise.

Carrying Yu Yao into the cave, he closed the magic in his hand. After a while, the cave entrance returned to its original state. From the outside, it looked the same as before. It was hard to believe that there was a hidden cave entrance here.

Putting Yu Yao gently on the ground and looking at her surprised eyes, Li Chuyi smiled proudly.

"How about it? It's an accident, isn't it? I dug it out with my sword. Isn't it powerful?"

Seeing the disbelief in Yu Yao's eyes, he chuckled.

"Really, I'm not lying to you. With my own skill, I certainly can't do this, but with the help of your Bakugong Pill, it will be no problem."

When she heard that Li Chuyi had taken Baokong Pills, Yu Yao was shocked and looked at him with worry on her face. The side effects of Bakugong Pills are too severe, as you can tell by looking at her miserable appearance. Seeing that he also took Bakugong Pills, how could she not be extremely worried?

Patting his chest hard, Li Chuyi said nonchalantly: "Look, how strong he is! Don't worry, I'm fine, at least for the time being. The pill you gave me was not complete, only a small part, so the effect of the medicine is probably not good." It’s so much worse that I haven’t had any side effects to this day, but I’m full of energy.”

She looked at him suspiciously, and after looking carefully for a long time, she didn't see anything strange. Yu Yao was slightly relieved, thinking that it might really be because of the incomplete pills.

When Li Chu saw this, he smiled happily. He would not tell Yu Yao that the reason why he was fine was because of the mysterious aura cultivated in the "Tao Canon".

From the moment he swallowed the pill, the overbearing medicinal properties made all the mana in his body begin to rage. The Tao seeds in his Dantian were stimulated by the medicinal properties to run rapidly, not only continuously squeezing out countless essences from all parts of his body It was converted into mana, which opened the acupuncture points all over his body, and continuously sucked spiritual energy into his body from around his body.

This may seem like a good thing, but it is actually drinking poison to quench thirst.

The essence of every part of the body represents a person's potential, which should be released bit by bit in continuous and orderly practice. Only in this way can the potential be replenished while being released, allowing people to practice step by step. But at this time, under the stimulation of the medicinal properties, the potential was forcibly taken out at once, just like fishing from a river, and it could not be recovered at all. When the potential is completely drained, the monk will be useless. Even if he does not die, his path of cultivation will end here.

And the massive amount of spiritual energy pouring in from outside the body is undoubtedly poison. Aura does not represent mana. No matter how pure the aura is, it will also contain harmful substances to monks. It needs to be refined and transformed by the sea of ​​​​Qi in the Dantian before it can be turned into harmless mana that can be used by monks.

At this time, spiritual energy surged in, and Li Chuyi's Dantian Qi sea had no time to transform. Even with the help of Tao seeds, most of the spiritual energy could only be roughly filtered. And these mana, which had not been fully refined, poured into the meridians and continued to rush wildly, causing damage to his meridians everywhere, and the most serious parts were almost disconnected.

Fortunately, Li Chuyi had the aura cultivated from the "Tao Canon" in his body, and he was constantly repairing the damaged meridians under the silent operation of the second sutra. While repairing the meridians, this breath also spontaneously wrapped up the medicinal power of the Baokong Pills layer by layer. It did not explode all at once, but slowly released it. In addition, it was far stronger than the Yuanying Yuanshen and could only be used by monks in the ascension stage. The crazy movement of the condensed Tao seeds allowed his body to temporarily form a balance, and he did not suffer serious internal injuries like Yu Yao.

The rumbling footsteps were getting closer and closer, making the two people in the cave couldn't help but frown.

Looking at Yu Yao who looked worried, Li Chuyi smiled pretending to be relaxed, pointed at the restriction at the entrance of the cave and said: "This is an illusion array. I couldn't set it up before, but now I can easily create it with the help of Baokong Pills." It's been arranged. This layer of prohibition may not be effective against adult fire demons, but those little idiots in their infancy can definitely be deceived. I'll lure the big ones away later. Don't move here. Keep calm. Take a rest and wait until there is no movement outside before going out."

Yu Yao heard the meaning of his words, struggled for a long time with an anxious face, and finally squeezed out two words.

"And you?"

"You don't have to worry about me." Li Chuyi waved his hand freely, "I have my own way, just take care of yourself, don't worry about me."

Yu Yao didn't believe it and shook her head desperately to tell him not to go. She knew that he was going to die and exchange his life for hers.

Li Chuyi smiled at her and ignored him. He turned around and took out the magic mirror, and with a slight movement of his heart, Ziyuan and five little dolls appeared in the cave.

Nodding to Zi Yuan, Li Chuyi said: "Zi Yuan, follow the plan. You should guard her."

Zi Yuan didn't speak, just looked at him expressionlessly.

"How sure are you?"

"Less than 30%." Li Chuyi rubbed his chin and thought seriously.

Ziyuan was silent for a long time, then shook her head slightly.

"No, it's too low. Let's find another way."

"There is no other way."

Sighing deeply, Li Chuyi said in a heavy tone: "I have thought about it for a long time, and there is only one way. If it succeeds, we can survive; if it fails, I will die, but you also have the possibility of surviving. This is the best option." Good plan!”

Zi Yuan was silent after hearing this.

Yu Yao, who was next to her, heard something from their words and knew that he had indeed come up with some method that was almost equal to death. Her face became even more anxious as she watched Li Chuyi shake his head desperately. Seeing that Li Chuyi was deliberately ignoring her, Yu Yao turned her eyes to Zi Yuan and desperately signaled to Zi Yuan to stop him.

Zi Yuan looked at her, then at Li Chuyi, hesitated for a long time, and finally shook her head gently at Yu Yao's desperate eyes, saying that she had nothing to do.

"No...no...!!" Yu Yao struggled and said.

Turning to face her with a rogue smile, Li Chuyi said in a weary tone: "You have to do it even if it doesn't work. Besides, you can't move. What can you do to me?"

After speaking, she turned her head away from the tears flowing from the corners of Yu Yao's eyes. She reached out and took off the storage bag from her neck and handed it to Zi Yuan, her face full of seriousness and seriousness.

"Zi Yuan, if I can't come back, take the magic mirror and this storage bag to the Taoist priest. Promise me that you will find the Taoist priest and give these things to him!"

After looking at him deeply for a long time, Ziyuan took it solemnly, looked into his eyes and nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry, if anything goes wrong with you, I will definitely do it."

After a pause, she said with a serious face: "If you really die and don't even have the chance to turn to the ghost world, I swear that I will avenge you! When the day when my magic power is completed, I will bring five The little baby will step into this pit of fire and be buried with you!"

"Hey, can you say something more auspicious? My worst plan is to die. It would be better for you to just say one word and eliminate the possibility of me turning around to become a ghost. Are you sincere?"

Rolling his eyes at her, Li Chuyi deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied.

But Zi Yuan remained unmoved and just stared at him seriously.

After being watched by her for a long time, Li Chuyi was defeated and could only nod helplessly.

"Then thank you for the hard work."

Only then did Zi Yuan retract her gaze.

Roar! ! ! ! !

Another loud roar sounded, and hearing that the sound was very close to their position, Li Chuyi hurriedly got up and walked out. He couldn't let these monsters get close to the entrance of the cave, otherwise the phantom formation at the entrance would not be able to stop them from exploring.

He entrusted everything in his body to Zi Yuan, leaving only a long animal skin sword behind his back. He walked to the entrance of the cave, paused, and turned back to take a deep look at his children.

"Live well! You must live!"

After saying that, he walked out without looking back.

In the cave, only Yu Yao, who was in tears, and Zi Yuan, who was holding the magic mirror tightly, were left.
