The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Matthew was not completely reassured about these three sacred peaks.

After completing the excavation of the cave, he started exploring the mountain together with Xing Yan and Yue Ru.

He didn't believe that Ying Lie just sent some low-level monsters here to monitor them.

This won't have much effect, and Ying Lie himself must be well aware of this.

Matthew believed that Ying Lie must have prepared other means, but he just couldn't find them out for the time being.

Matthew and the other two used the soul fusion technique to explore the inside of the mountain.

After searching for seven or eight days, Matthew and his team did not come across anything unusual.

Just when Matthew was about to give up and go back to rest, the Senluo tree spirit sealed on his arm suddenly reacted.

Matthew was standing next to a big tree at the moment. The tree looked very ordinary and there was nothing unusual about it.

Such trees can be seen everywhere in the mountains.

In other places, the Senluo Tree Spirit had no reaction at all, only when he came here did it react.

That means there is something wrong with the tree.

Fortunately, Matthew is now using the soul fusion technique, so he doesn't have to worry about being discovered.

So he began to observe the tree carefully.

After watching for a while, Matthew still didn't see any clues.

Then he quietly released the Senluo Tree Spirit.

After the little thing came out, it jumped to the side of the tree.

Then, the Senluo tree spirit flashed directly into the tree body.

Suddenly, a picture appeared in Matthew's mind.

At first, Matthew was still a little confused about what the picture was about.

But after looking at it for a few times, Matthew immediately understood.

It turns out that this is what the Senluo Tree Spirit saw.

It was the first time that Matthew knew that the Senluo Tree Spirit actually had such magical powers and could share what it saw with Matthew.

This tree looks very ordinary from the outside, and its interior is indeed the same as that of an ordinary tree.

However, as the Senluo Tree Spirit went downwards, Matthew discovered that something was wrong.

The roots of this tree are much longer and thicker than those of ordinary trees.

Of course, this is not entirely doubtful.

But, in Matthew's opinion.

If the tree had such a thick and developed root system, it should be at least twice as tall as it is now.

As the Senluo tree spirit moved inside, Matthew saw more roots distributed underground.

Matthew soon noticed that some of the roots appeared near his cave.

Matthew had already checked the situation when he was digging the cave.

Know that there are no roots around.

So, this means that these roots have only appeared around his cave recently.

From this, Matthew understood that Ying Lie was using this method to monitor him.

After all, they are foreign monks, so it is normal for Ying Lie to be worried.

After taking a thorough look at the situation inside, Matthew called back the Senluo Tree Spirit.

Afterwards, Matthew took the Senluo Tree Spirit and continued to search the mountains for these trees for surveillance.

After seven or eight hours, with the help of the Senluo tree spirit.

Matthew found ten trees to use for surveillance.

He left his mark on every tree, but left them alone.

After that, he went to the other two mountains and began searching.

If he has it here, then there must be it in other places too.

It took Matthew more than ten days just to find these trees.

He didn't think that these surveillance trees were only on the three peaks, but also in other places.

Just as he thought, in addition to the three peaks, there were some such trees in other places.

On the contrary, the place chosen by Su Lin did not have it. I guess Ying Lie did not expect Su Lin to choose such a place.

After leaving his mark on every tree, Matthew no longer cared about such things.

Since Matthew knew that Ying Lie was monitoring them, it was impossible for him to completely ignore it.

After returning, he used the forbidden technique to cover the entire cave.

In this way, even if there are those surveillance trees, we will not know the situation inside the cave.

In a secret room inside the cave, Xingyan and Yueru sat on both sides of Matthew.

Sitting on a chair opposite Matthew was a little man, who was the ghost who had been sent here earlier.

"Greetings to the nine clan leaders!" As soon as the ghost arrived here, he immediately bowed respectfully.

"No need to be so polite. You have been in the Guyuan Mountains for some time. Please report to the three of us about the situation here." Matthew waved his hand and said.

"The situation in the Ancient Source Mountains is quite simple. This huge mountain range is completely controlled by the Ten Thousand Demons Valley. In the past few years, many human cultivators have fled here to seek refuge, and the Ten Thousand Demons Valley is quite lenient towards the cultivators who come here. They don't intend to drive them away, but just require that human cultivators help when the demon army invades the mountains."

"Also, the human cultivators who come here are not allowed to organize any forces. They must practice separately on weekdays, and they must obey the orders of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley when resisting the demon army."

The ghost said quickly.

"How many monks are there here? What is their cultivation level? And how many casualties did the human monks suffer when they were resisting the demon army?" This time, Xing Yan asked without Matthew having to speak.

"There are about 3,000 human cultivators here. There are five with the highest cultivation levels, one of whom is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and the other four are in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. The remaining two hundred are in the Jindan stage, and the rest are in the Foundation Establishment stage. There were originally quite a few Qi Refining stage cultivators, and some of them broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage after coming here. Most of them died in the battle against the demon army."

"The Ten Thousand Demons Valley didn't directly send human cultivators to stand in front. Instead, they arranged for cultivators to cooperate with the monsters. On the contrary, the five cultivators with high cultivation were always arranged to fight against the Yuanying-level monsters."

In response to Xingyan's question, Guiying bowed respectfully before answering.

"Has there ever been a case of human monks suddenly disappearing?" Matthew suddenly asked.

The ghost did not answer immediately after hearing this. Instead, he thought for a moment before speaking: "No, the Ten Thousand Demons Valley does not seem to have any interest in human cultivators. Except for summoning them when the demon army invades, they never care about them on weekdays."

"Will those demon kings be rewarded after killing monsters, especially Nascent Soul monsters?" Matthew asked with a slight turn of his eyes.

"Yes, the rewards for ordinary monsters are very ordinary. Only the rewards for killing Yuanying monsters are generous. However, this kind of reward is only available when you kill Yuanying monsters outside. When the demon army invades, there will be no rewards." The ghost nodded.
