Chapter 96: Breaking the Cocoon
After the woman opened her eyes, she stood stunned for a moment, as if she was completely stunned.
Then he saw that his eyes gradually regained their vitality and he turned around to look around.
"This sister?"
When Duan Qing saw that the woman had regained her consciousness, she immediately whispered a test.
The woman was startled when she heard Duan Qing's voice. She jumped up from the ground in an instant, took out the flying sword and pointed it at Duan Qing, her hands still trembling.
Duan Qing explained quickly, holding the hilt of the sword down with one hand and making a fist towards the woman.
"My dear Jin Xuanzong, Duan Qing, I wonder what I call my sister?"
When the woman heard that Duan Qing was from Jin Xuanzong, she relaxed and put down the flying sword. Her face turned pale and she couldn't stand on her feet. She suddenly fell to the ground, a little stunned.
When Duan Qing saw this, he did not step forward to help the woman. The situation was unclear at the moment, and monsters might appear at any time, so it was better to rescue the person first.
So he used his sword to cut open all the cocoons, confirming that all the people inside were the people who entered the Yongling Valley this time, and then went to cut off the tentacle-like thing connecting the cocoons and the stone pillars.
After a few chops, the woman seemed to wake up completely. She staggered up from the ground and helped Duan Qing to chop together. Within a moment, more than a dozen connecting objects were cut off by both of them.
At this moment, groans were heard all around, and everyone in the cocoon immediately woke up, but they seemed to be still confused, and no one could get up.
After the woman finished beheading, she cupped her fists and thanked Duan Qing.
"Jade Sect Yan Ruyu, thank you very much for saving me!"
Duan Qing did not look at Yan Ruyu, but tensed his nerves and carefully observed his surroundings.
"Sister Yan, you're welcome. What on earth made you do this?"
This is his only concern now. If he can't even figure out who the enemy is, it will be impossible to escape from here!
And it was so easy to save this man! It was so relaxing that he felt a little abnormal.
Yan Ruyu fell into deep thought after hearing this, and said a little uncertainly after a moment.
"I only remember that I and a group of more than ten people came to this cave to escape the pursuit of monsters. When we wanted to find another way out and found this place, there seemed to be a sudden scream, but I can't remember what happened after that!"
Duan Qing looked solemn. Yan Ruyu and others were also chased here by monsters. Is it a coincidence?
He couldn't allow him to think too much. At this time, everyone who woke up on the ground had gradually regained their consciousness. They stood up one after another and looked around in confusion.
"Junior Brother Duan, why are you here?"
At this time, a man looked at Duan Qing with blurred eyes, his face full of surprise.
Duan Qing turned around and saw that it was Song Ling'er.
Senior Sister Song probably thought he had died under that eight-legged monster!
Thinking of this, he glanced at the culprit Bai Shaoyun in the crowd calmly, and his teeth itched with hatred. If he hadn't taken the overall situation into consideration, he would have wanted to stab him twice when he just emerged from the cocoon!
With this thought in his mind, Duan Qing's face remained calm and solemn.
"It's a long story. Senior Sister Song, just be fine!"
Song Ling'er looked at Duan Qing and nodded slightly, feeling grateful in her heart. In addition to the fact that she diverted the eight-legged monster away last time, this was the second time Duan Qing had saved her.
She and everyone went deep into the cave to find another way out and suddenly fell into coma. When she woke up, Junior Brother Duan, who was not there, was at the scene. No matter how stupid she was, she guessed that Duan Qing should have saved everyone.
Yan Ruyu walked up to Duan Qing and asked softly.
"Where did you enter this place? Do you still remember the way out?"
Duan Qing frowned slightly when he heard this, and roughly told the story about how he was chased into the cave by a monster.
After listening to Duan Qing's story, everyone looked a little ugly. It seemed that Duan Qing came in through the same cave as them, and most of the monsters were still guarding outside.
Song Ling'er seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Junior Brother Duan, have you ever met Senior Brother Li Yan of Big Stone Peak?"
She remembered that when everyone came in, Luo Fenggu and the others had blocked the entrance of the cave with gravel. If Duan Qing came in through that entrance, wouldn't Senior Brother Li Yan have escaped?
Duan Qing thought of Li Yan and sighed for no reason in his heart.
"Senior Brother Li has probably been killed by the beast!"
Hearing this, Song Ling'er's expression darkened and she stopped asking further questions.
Duan Qing turned his attention to Yan Ruyu.
"Senior Sister Yan, what should I do now?"
He had just used the Qi Watching Technique to secretly observe everyone. Among them, Yan Ruyu and a disciple from Luofeng Valley had the highest cultivation level. They were at the ninth level of Qi training, and the rest were at the sixth to eighth level.
Therefore, he deliberately gave Yan Ruyu the right to speak. Firstly, his cultivation was the highest and he could convince the public. Secondly, he had attacked and killed two people in Luo Feng Valley for the mortal grass. Although no one knew about it, he subconsciously felt guilty as a thief. I feel like I don’t want to deal with people from Luofeng Valley.
Furthermore, although his cultivation was at the ninth level of Qi training, he had too many concerns to be exposed when his fellow disciples were present. But in this situation, in order to escape safely, he had to work with everyone, so he chose to push Yan Ruyu out. Lead everyone out of danger.
Yan Ruyu glanced at Duan Qing, with a very solemn expression on her face. She now realized that everyone was in a very dangerous situation. She said that she didn't even know what the strange sound was that made everyone unconscious before.
Moreover, everyone was made to look like this after they were unconscious. There must be something mischievous behind the scenes!
Thinking of this, she looked around the entire cave carefully, but found no trace of the monster, so she could only say solemnly.
"Leave this place first!"
After speaking, he asked Duan Qing.
"Which passage did you just come through?"
Duan Qing looked around at the four entrances scattered in the cave and pointed at the one behind him.
Yan Ruyu immediately waved her hand and pointed to a cave entrance opposite.
"Let's go, leave this place first!"
After saying that, she took the lead and walked towards the cave entrance. The people of the Jade Sect followed Yan Ruyu's words without saying a word.
Among the people of the Jinxuan Sect, Bai Shaoyun immediately followed, fearing that he would suffer if he walked slowly. The rest of the people also followed silently.
Only the four people from Luofeng Valley seemed to be hesitant. They stood in a group and whispered about something, and seemed to have a dispute.
Duan Qing looked at Bai Shaoyun's back and felt extremely disgusted with him. Then he glanced at the four people from Luofeng Valley and walked away.
Seeing that everyone had left, the four people from Luofeng Valley were also a little anxious. They stopped arguing and hurriedly chased after everyone.
When everyone left the cave, ripples suddenly appeared on the stone pillar in the middle of the cave. A moment later, a colorful giant python appeared on the stone pillar, and its body as thick as a thigh wrapped around the stone pillar.
The two colorful tentacles on its head were clinging to the stone pillars and opening like petals, shrinking the ten tentacles hanging down to the ground.
The tentacles, which were originally dripping with transparent liquid, slowly began to heal as they shrank. After a while, the ten tentacles were all retracted by the tentacles, and the tentacles that were open like petals gradually closed, like two buds about to bloom.
The giant python stared at the direction where everyone left, with a playful look in its eyes, as if it didn't care about everyone's escape at all.
The cave became narrower and narrower, and slowly only two people could walk side by side. Duan Qing was sandwiched in the crowd, and he still didn't dare to relax. While being alert to the surroundings, he was thinking about how to leave this ghost place safely!
