Chapter 94: Escape
So after communicating with the disciples of the two sects and one valley, they decided to go to the third level together to try.
What was devastating was that as soon as the group entered the third floor, they were surrounded by a group of monsters that appeared out of nowhere.
After a fight to break out of the siege, everyone suffered heavy losses. Only seven of the ten members of the Jin Xuan Sect survived, and all of them were injured. Only seven of the twelve members of the Jasper Sect were left alive.
And in Luofeng Valley, which is the worst place, there are only four people left in the original ten-person team!
Li Yan vaguely felt that the group of monsters behind him was very strange. Logically speaking, with the strength of the group of monsters, it would not be difficult to catch up and kill everyone.
But the monster beast group did not do this, but just hung behind everyone, not far or close, as if. . . . It's like chasing prey!
Li Yan suddenly had such an idea in his mind, and he was immediately frightened. If the monster beasts used everyone as prey but did not hunt them, then they must have other purposes!
"There's a cave ahead!"
At this moment, someone among the fleeing crowd suddenly exclaimed.
The others took a closer look, and through the dim light they could vaguely see that the terrain ahead suddenly rose, a mountain ridge stood tall, and there was a dark cave entrance directly under the ridge.
Everyone was overjoyed and rushed towards the cave at full speed like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.
Li Yan's heart trembled for no reason at this time. He subconsciously felt that entering the cave was not a wise move, but seeing everyone rushing towards the cave like crazy, he could only follow the tide and rush into the cave together.
As soon as everyone entered the cave, the four Luo Feng Valley disciples who were running at the back instantly separated into two people, turned around and swung the moon-shaped knife in their hands towards the cave wall in a tacit understanding.
For a while, I saw constant falling rocks, and the entrance to the cave was completely blocked in a few strokes!
Everyone was relieved when they saw this, but their nerves were still tense. No one spoke. There was only the sound of people gasping one after another in the cave. After being chased so far by the monster, most people were a little overwhelmed. Only the ones with the highest cultivation level could not stand it. A few people can still maintain normalcy.
After a while, everyone noticed that there seemed to be no sound of monsters outside, and someone whispered.
"Senior Sister Yan, what should we do now?"
The speaker was from the Jade Sect, and there was a hint of crying in his voice. She would never forget the way Senior Sister Wang was bitten into pieces by two monsters just now in order to protect her.
Yan Ruyu was also anxious. This time the sect asked her to lead the junior sisters into Yongling Valley, but not only were there not a few Mortal Transformation Grasses, but several junior sisters also risked their lives. How should they explain to the master then!
However, she pretended to be calm on her face. As the leader of the Jasper Sect in Yongling Valley this time, she could not show panic in front of the junior sisters, so she shouted softly at the person who asked the question.
"No sound, what a cry!"
As soon as the female disciple was drunk by Yan Ruyu, her tears couldn't be stopped, and they rolled down like jade beads, which was really pitiful.
At this time, Li Yan looked at everyone and said a little uneasily.
"This is not a good place, and you should not stay for a long time!"
Yan Ruyu looked at Li Yan and asked.
"Then according to what Senior Brother Jin Xuanzong sees, what should we do?"
Li Yan looked back at the depths of the cave, looking a little hesitant, but he still spoke bluntly.
"Wait until the monsters outside disperse, dig the hole, and return to the second floor!"
Having seen the monsters on the third level, he has given up the idea of looking for Mortal Grass anymore. He just wants to return to the second level safely.
Everyone frowned when they heard this, and one of the Luofenggu disciples even said sarcastically.
"Oh? Then how do you know if the monsters outside have dispersed? If the monsters remain here, won't we be trapped here to death?"
Then another disciple from Luofeng Valley echoed.
"That's right! I think the people of Jin Xuanzong are greedy for life and afraid of death. If you want to wait here to die, feel free to stay. I, the people of Luofeng Valley, are not timid people. Let's go, I will explore inside to see if there is anything there. No way."
After talking to the few people from Luofeng Valley, they really walked towards the depths of the cave.
Li Yan's face was ashen. He had good intentions to remind everyone, but he didn't want to be ridiculed like this. He snorted coldly and said nothing, just watching the four Luo Feng Valley disciples walking inside.
Seeing that the people of the Biyu Sect were a little uncertain, they looked at Yan Ruyu.
Someone pleaded softly.
"Senior Sister Yan...!"
Yan Ruyu seemed to feel that waiting here was not the best idea. She glanced at the Jin Xuan Sect and gave orders to the Biyu Sect.
"Go inside and find another way out!"
After speaking, he took the lead and followed the people from Luofeng Valley ahead. Seeing this, everyone from the Jasper Sect followed suit, leaving only seven people from the Jin Xuan Sect at the entrance of the cave.
Li Yan looked around at the crowd and found that many people were a little bit ready to make a move. He suddenly felt depressed and sat down on the ground, sighing.
"You can leave when you want."
Among the crowd, Bai Shaoyun said nothing and took the lead in trotting straight into the depths of the cave. If the man named Li wanted to wait for death here, let him stay.
Someone took the lead, and others followed. In this situation, the only way to survive is to join a group to keep warm. No one wants to be left waiting to die.
In the end, only Li Yan and Song Ling'er were left at the entrance of the cave. Song Ling'er looked at Li Yan on the ground and persuaded softly.
"Senior Brother Li, just go with everyone! The monsters outside may rush in at any time!"
Li Yan snorted coldly, closed his eyes and started pretending to sleep.
Song Ling'er stamped her feet angrily and looked back at the Jin Xuanzong people who were almost walking away. She no longer cared about Li Yan and chased after the crowd.
Two days later.
In a colorful forest, Duan Qing crouched and observed the surroundings vigilantly. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he stood up and rushed forward.
After seeing the scene at the entrance of the third floor, he was extremely careful in his actions on the third floor of Yongling Valley.
He made up his mind to retreat to the first floor as soon as he found the third Transcendent Grass and wait for the opening time of Yongling Valley to end.
But things did not go as he wished. Although he acted so carefully, he found several monsters in advance and successfully bypassed them, but he did not see any trace of Transcendent Grass.
Seeing that he had no choice but to go deeper and deeper, and getting farther and farther away from the entrance of the third floor, he began to feel uneasy.
Even if he was stupid, he found something wrong. It was understandable that Transcendent Grass was rare in the first two floors, but even if Transcendent Grass was not everywhere on the third floor, he should not have searched for two days without even seeing its shadow!
Although he felt that the situation was very wrong, Duan Qing always had such an obsession in his heart that he would never turn back until he found the third Transcendent Grass!
This obsession made him unable to extricate himself even though he knew he was in deep danger. He was so eager to stand shoulder to shoulder with Senior Sister Su as soon as possible!
At this moment, Duan Qing suddenly felt that there seemed to be movement in front of him, as if a group of monsters were running towards him.
His hair stood on end immediately. Although he was always alert so that he could find the monsters in time and avoid them, he was most afraid of such emergencies.
There were no weeds to hide in the colorful woods at the moment. He could only use his hands and feet as quickly as possible to climb up a nearby tree, crouching on the branch, holding his breath and waiting.
After a while, a figure appeared in sight first. He looked very embarrassed, with injuries all over his body, and his Taoist robe was mostly stained red with blood.
