I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Chapter 129: Not a Good Place

I didn't expect that the shout came from Shanling.

Gu Lan and others were led by Chi Ji and happened to run into Shan Ling and Meng Xin.

The two were already awake when they were caught. The monster with six arms and six legs rolled them up but didn't want to eat them itself. Instead, it wanted to lock them up for the Netherworld Bone Spirit to eat. They would eat some ordinary humans.

Shan Ling and Meng Xin were wet all over. As soon as they entered the cave, they smelled a sour and bloody smell. Looking around, they found that the cave was very wide. There were several iron cages on the left, which should have been built to imprison people.

Apart from the cage, there are only a few spider-like monsters and no other danger. It is a good time to take action.

The two men had already woken up when they entered the water just now. It was inconvenient for them to take action in the water, and they didn't know what kind of creature had caught them, so they just waited and watched. Now that they have seen the light again, how could they just sit there and wait to die?

Shan Ling and Meng Xin looked at each other and started fighting.

Since the magic sword was not at hand, Shan Ling picked up the torch beside her and beat the monster with a stick.

Meng Xin used his magic weapon to assist.

Shan Ling is not like Chiji and Zhan Chang, who are cowardly and afraid of unfamiliar environments. She dares not move when encountering danger and will not fight back until there is no escape.

Shanling can't do that.

Seeing Shan Ling like this, Meng Xin naturally didn't want to be outdone.

The two of them worked together to beat the monsters until they cried and their teeth were all over the ground.

Gu Lan and others had already heard the noise here, so they hurried over. When they saw that it was the missing Shan Ling and Meng Xin, they were very happy.

I didn't expect that we would actually meet.

Without even bothering to exchange pleasantries, Gu Lan and the others hurriedly joined the battle with their magic swords.

These monsters with hands and feet look like spiders, look disgusting, and have a sour body odor. No wonder Xiaohe is afraid.

The monsters can't spit silk, and their necks, limbs and arms can all grow longer. When you fight them, the whole cave is filled with limbs and arms, and the shadows cast by the torches are a mess.

After cleaning up the place, the ground was covered with blood and broken limbs, a mess.

Everyone stopped and explored the cave, where they found many skeletons, some pieces of clothing, and feces.

There were also several pieces of clothing belonging to the Xuantian Sword Sect disciples in the iron cage.

Gu Lan picked up the clothes and handed them to Ji Yanli sympathetically.

Ji Yanli took the clothes and his expression changed.

I wonder which disciple was harmed?

This matter must be reported to the sect in detail.

He took the clothes in his hand and flipped them over in front of the torch.

He saw the words "Xuantian Sword Sect" written on the collar, and then turned to the cuffs and saw the words "Mountain Guardian Disciple Zhu Yi" sewn on them.

This is the attire of the outer disciples who guard the mountain.

Ji Yanli folded his clothes and put them into his Qiankun bag, remaining silent. His thick dark eyebrows and eyes made it impossible to discern his emotions under the dim torchlight.

This place is right at the foot of the mountain of Xuantian Sword Sect, but such a thing happened. Many questions lingered in Ji Yanli's mind at the same time.

This disciple has obviously been dead for many days, but there is no movement from the Xuantian Sword Sect?

Although he had been practicing in the mountains for several days and closed the door to visitors, his master was different. Didn't his master know? Or was he too distracted to tell him?

Seeing that he remained silent, Gu Lan knew that he must have many questions in his heart.

But this was not a good place to think, so she interrupted him and said, "Let's talk about this after we get out."

Ji Yanli nodded.

Gu Lan looked at Shan Ling.

"Can you see Shaoyu?"

"Shao Yu is here too?"

Gu Lan's face darkened. Shao Yu said he wanted to look for it downstream, but it wasn't in this cave?

Where will that go?

Seeing Shan Ling and Meng Xin looking confused, Gu Lan explained.

"After you got drunk, a lot of things happened. Let's talk about it while we're searching. This cave is complicated, so everyone should be careful."

As he spoke, Gu Lan looked Shan Ling and Meng Xin up and down, and found that their clothes were just wet, but they were not injured, so he felt relieved.

The two used a cleaning spell to dry their clothes, and then followed Gu Lan and others to explore the cave.

After briefly telling Shan Ling and Meng Xin what had happened, they killed a lot more of those monsters along the way.

Chiji didn't want to pay attention to these monsters, she just wanted to find the exhibition venue as soon as possible.

I don’t know if he is safe.

"So that's how it is. Can the plant of that strange fruit be preserved?" Shan Ling asked.

Gu Lan nodded. "Ji Yanli dug a few, and I got a few too. This thing is harmful to people. I don't know if there are other such strange fruits on the nearby hills. I don't know how many hunters and mountain folks have been harmed."

"After we find Shao Yu, let's go to those places. Ji Yanli can go back to the sect to report first." Shan Ling said this and looked at Ji Yanli.

Gu Lan also followed his gaze and looked towards Ji Yanli.

Seeing him with his head down and silent, his expression solemn, I wonder what he was thinking about.

"what happened?"

Ji Yanli stopped when he heard Gu Lan calling him.

"I can't figure out one thing."

"tell me the story."

Everyone stopped.

Ji Yanli's expression became even more serious. The torches in the cave flickered, and the light and shadow made his expression look hazy.

"Don't you think that iron cage is weird?"

"Why is it strange?" After hearing what he said, Xu Fengxi suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Saying such words in this gloomy cave made him start to have wild thoughts for a moment.

Xue Hao pulled Xu Fengxi and said, "Brother, you are at least a cultivator."

"What's wrong with cultivating immortality? Can't you be afraid of ghosts? I tell you, when I was a kid, I saw with my own eyes a group of ghosts gathering in the cemetery at the entrance of our village in the middle of the night."

"So what? Can I still eat you?"

"Hey, don't disbelieve it, that ghost really eats people!"

The two argued loudly. Gu Lan sighed and pinched Xu Fengxi.

The darkness was twisted and everyone in Xufengxi was about to jump up.

Seeing that his senior sister looked unhappy.

Xu Fengxi could only whistle softly.

Gu Lan’s patience was limited, so he warned, “Shut up and let Ji Yanli finish speaking.”

Xu Fengxi finally stopped talking and rubbed his arm with a look of grievance.

When Ji Yanli saw Gu Lan and Xu Fengxi like that, the expression in his eyes eased a little, he coughed, and then said: "The iron cage we saw just now should have been built by someone, not a ghost."

After saying that, he glanced at Xu Fengxi.

"But what Junior Brother Xu said is also correct. It's about cannibalism! The mountain guard disciple Zhu Yi has not been seen alive or dead. It is very likely that he was eaten. However, the one who ate him was definitely not those low-level monsters, but someone else."

"It's really a ghost?!" Xu Fengxi covered his mouth and his face turned pale.

The scene of the ghosts' night banquet when he was a child always haunts him and often makes him feel terrified.

Hearing Ji Yanli say this, Shan Ling suddenly remembered what her master had said.

"Not a ghost."

"What is that?" Everyone looked at Shan Ling.

Shan Ling exhaled slightly, and then said after a while: "Evil cultivator!"

"Ah? What is an evil cultivator?"

Everyone had only heard of demonic cultivators, and didn't know there were evil cultivators. After hearing Shan Ling say this, they all stared at Shan Ling.

Chiji curled his lips. These ignorant younger generations, who didn’t even know about the evil cultivators, dared to go anywhere?

I simply don’t know how to live or die!

Chiji didn't want to waste time with them. She wanted to find the exhibition venue as soon as possible and leave quickly.

This place is very evil.

It is definitely not a good place.

Thinking of this, he quietly followed the wall of the cave, left the group, and went to find the exhibition venue.
