Chapter 409
"We are food." Half an hour later, everyone stopped in a passage that seemed to be indifferent from before, and Nie Wushang opened his mouth and said this.
In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on her.
Nie Wushang continued: "If you want to live, you either kill what we eat or leave here."
The aura of Jinshi and the other three was obviously unstable. After hearing this, Yugui, the most timid among them, looked at Jinshi in panic: "Brother, this..." They had been running for a long time, and the demonic energy was much less than that of Mo Tiange and the other four. They were definitely the ones who could not hold on to it until the end.
Jinshi stared at Nie Wushang and asked, "This... Fellow Daoist Tiancan, are you saying that Mei Feng tricked us here to feed this monster?"
Nie Wushang shook his head slightly: "The facts are in front of you, but I don't know whether it is the ultimate goal."
"If we are eaten, what is the final purpose?" Yong Ruyu's face looked ugly and frowned. "Can this monster become stronger if he eats us?"
Nie Wushang snorted lightly and glanced at him: "Didn't you notice that after you attacked, the aura on the monster became stronger?"
Yong Ruyu was stunned. He didn't notice this. At that time, the attack failed and he felt annoyed. But if you think about it carefully, even if it is strengthened, it is not much stronger, right? Otherwise, the sensitivity of Yijiedan monk to the breath would be discovered without paying attention.
Jin Yu and the other three thought about it, and the Mu Xi hesitated: "Indeed... the first time we encountered this monster, it was not as strong as it is now."
Yugui's face changed drastically when he heard this. He looked at Jinshi and said, "Why don't we all join forces, we can't beat it?"
"What's so panic!" Jin Shi saw his expression, shouted, turned to Nie Wushang, and asked politely, "Since this fellow Taoist has discovered this, is there a way to deal with it?"
Nie Wushang shook his head and said, "I have some clues, but I can't think of a way yet."
Jin Shi was stunned when he heard this: "What should we do next? Should we just escape endlessly? In this way, we will not be able to recover our demonic energy in the end and will eventually be eaten!"
"I have a suggestion." Mo Tiange, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Although they have known each other for a while, they have roughly understood their personalities. Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo are good at taking action and have good knowledge, but they are prone to lose their composure at critical moments. As for Jinshi, there is no need to mention the jade rules. Although Muxi is careful, her vision is limited, Jinshi is a bit rougher. In this way, only Nie Wushang and Mo Tiange can make feasible opinions at critical moments.
Mo Tiange continued: "If the first level is to confuse us, this is the purpose of City Lord Mei, then everyone should be here."
"Not bad." Although the metal and stone are rough, they are not stupid. After hearing this, they immediately thought of what she was going to say, "We gather everyone together, maybe..."
"Well, there may not be no hope for the team to work together." Mo Tiange nodded in agreement.
Mu Xi immediately began to make careful calculations: "We have seven people here, so there should be eight people who are not in the same place. One of them has been swallowed up. This is what we have seen with our own eyes. If everyone else is fine, there are seven people!"
Yong Ruyu's expression was a little hesitant: "We really want to find everyone? But here is like a maze, how do you find it?" It takes a long time to walk so many forks.
"That's it," Nie Wushang said, "We are grouped and marked all the way. We must reunite once every time we separate for half an hour, so that we will not get separated."
"Okay, that's OK." Jin Shi said, "But even so, we may not be able to find all the people, and if we can't recover the demonic energy..."
"So, we must determine a time." Mo Tiange said, "Let's talk about how long the pills on your body can be filled with spiritual energy."
"This..." Jinshi hesitated first. How many pills are there on the body, like magic weapons, for monks, they are top secrets. If others know about this kind of thing, they will be passive when fighting. Even friends will not ask such questions on weekdays.
On the contrary, Yong Ruyu immediately said: "Yes, we are grasshoppers on a rope now. At present, the strong enemy is at present, and of course the possibility of joining forces to survive is high. This means that we must trust our teammates once. However, I hope that we can all make a vow and never turn against each other before we escape safely."
"This is no problem." Mo Tiange glanced at Jinshi, "What do the three fellow Taoists think?"
"This..." Jinshi hesitated.
Seeing this, Yong Ruyu said in a deep voice: "Three fellow Taoists, you are demon cultivators. Relatively speaking, the binding force of vows on you is not as strong as us. If you cannot accept this, how can we trust us? Without trust, how can we cooperate?"
"Brother, what he said." Mu Xi whispered, "The situation is urgent, so that's all."
Jinshi hesitated for a while and gritted his teeth: "Okay, I must have a bet!" After that, he raised his hand and said, "I, Jinshi, have made an oath to the demon god here. We will advance and retreat with all the fellow Taoists present during this trip, trust each other. I will treat people as much as my fellow Taoists treat me. If I have bad intentions and violate the oath, I will not be able to advance to the Nascent Soul for the rest of my life, and all my magical powers will be wiped out!"
After he finished reading, Mu Xi and Yu Gui also did the same. After making an oath, the three of them stared at Mo Tiange and others.
Mo Tiange did not hesitate and said first: "I swear with the demon of my heart. Before I escape safely, as long as you fellow Taoists do not violate the oath, I will trust you with all my heart and never be enemies with you. If you violate this oath, the Taoist ancestor will witness it, and I will be trapped in the demon of my heart for the rest of my life, and my cultivation will not improve in a moment, and all my supernatural powers will be wiped out."
Then Nie Wushang, Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo made an oath one by one.
When the last person finished speaking, the seven people breathed a sigh of relief and finally had a preliminary trust between them.
Ordinary people may be able to deny the oath, but they are not good at it. The reason why they embarked on the path of cultivation is because they believe that there are immortals and demons in this world. Since this is the case, how can they violate the oath? Even if the demon cultivator does not have the strict mental state of mind as Taoist practice, there are their own taboos.
After Jinshi made a vow, he took out several bottles of pills directly from his arms and said, "For us demon cultivators, there are not many pills that can be taken directly. After entering this secret place, we have consumed a lot of magic pills. These bottles are the only pills I have left, and I guess they can last for one or two days."
Muxi continued, "I'm less than my elder brother, but I'm saving money, so it's okay to hold on for a day."
Yugui opened the Qiankun bag and looked at it, saying, "I am almost the same as Muji, and I can only last for one day."
Seeing this situation, Mo Tiange frowned slightly. She knew that the magic cultivator often had not many elixirs, but she didn't expect that there would be so few. They had been walking in this cave for so long but didn't notice the end. It would definitely not be a day to search for it all. In addition, in order to deal with the monster, some of the elixirs must be left until the last moment and cannot be used up.
Next was Qiu Chengruo: "Our situation is better. I often refine elixirs on weekdays and have many elixirs that can be taken as spiritual nourishing pills. I think it's okay for me and my senior brother to take it for three or five days."
Hearing this, Mo Tiange's face looked better. The Jiedan monk, especially the Jiedan monk from the sect, could only be considered as a good deal if he had so many elixirs.
Nie Wushang spread his hands and said, "I don't have many pills, but I have a treasure that can replenish spiritual energy or last for three or five days."
Finally, it was Mo Tiange. She said, "I have some pills on me, and it will not be a problem for three to five days." She didn't say enough, and then said, "Since that's the case, let's make an agreement on other things."
No one else objected, and agreed on the mark and general route, and finally divided the troops into three groups. The three demon cultivators were naturally still together, Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo, Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang. Although everyone had sworn, the team's actions still require trust and understanding with each other.
"Several fellow Taoists, I and my junior sister are the first to take the lead." After deciding the details, Yong Ruyu bowed to his goodbye first. The two of them chose the left side. If they encountered too many forks, they would come back early and send a message to inform them.
Then there was Jinshi: "Then we'll leave too." After saying that, he didn't say nonsense and took the two brothers to the right.
Finally, there were only two people left. Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang looked at each other, sighed, and walked towards the middle passage.
After walking for a while, his spiritual sense could no longer sense the traces of the other two people. Nie Wushang suddenly asked, "Your idea is not just to bring everyone together, right?"
Mo Tiange glanced at her, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's true that I can't hide it from you. It's OK, this proposal actually has another meaning. If everyone can be brought together, of course it would be fine, but if this road is blocked and people are dispersed, it will buy everyone time."
They act separately, and the monster can only chase one target at a time, and the others are relatively safer. If they cooperate well and consume less spiritual energy, they can support it for a while. This method may not necessarily ensure everyone's safety, but even if someone sacrifices, they can still buy time for others.
"They promised to be so refreshed, and they may not know what you mean."
"I know," Mo Tiange did not hide it, "but they are all strangers. They sacrifice some people for their own safety. How could they refuse? Anyway, I said this proposal, they just want to make a default."
"But if they sacrificed themselves..."
"That's all because of bad luck, even us." Mo Tiange's tone was dull. To this day, she no longer had any troubles over such things. On the road to cultivating immortals, sometimes she was fighting for luck. If she had good luck, she would advance step by step. If she had bad luck, she would only become a stepping stone for others.
Nie Wushang was silent. She was more accustomed to this kind of thing than Mo Tiange. After a while, she asked again: "But, your ultimate goal is not this, right?"
Mo Tiange turned his head, but looked at her and smiled: "I have to ask you again. Do you actually know that monster?" (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in. There are more chapters, support the author and support genuine reading!)
