The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

"Silly boy, how long have you been thinking about spiritual stones? Your life is at stake." Zhu Que slapped Matthew on the forehead and scolded him.

"Forget it, forget it, no more." After being slapped by Zhu Que, Matthew also walked down the slope and said.

Being led by Zhu Que, Matthew came to a strange tent.

After arriving here, Matthew saw a dozen people sitting inside.

Except for the old man surnamed He and Cui'er, he didn't know anyone else.

Zhu Que did not intend to introduce Matthew one by one, but simply explained what Matthew had said before about the situation in the mine.

"Boy Ma, what are the strengths of those two golden-armored mantises you mentioned?" the old man surnamed He asked.

In everyone's perception, the golden-armored mantis should be an existence that can compete with the pill-forming monks. If it is really an adult golden-armored mantis inside, the group of them will be dead if they go in.

"Both of them are juveniles, at most the peak strength of a first-level monster." Matthew knew what the old man surnamed He was worried about and said quickly.

"That's good. You are smart enough, and you were able to escape from two golden-armored mantises without any damage." After listening to Matthew's explanation, an old man with white hair and a red face nodded and said.

"This is the old ghost Chi Yuan from Yuqi Peak. He is an old friend of your master." Seeing the red-faced old man speak, the old man surnamed He casually explained for Matthew.

Matthew heard this and immediately saluted and paid homage.

"Time is tight, wait another half hour, if no one else comes, we won't wait." Zhu Que frowned and said after scanning the number of people in the tent.

In the following time, Zhu Que asked Matthew to describe in detail everything he encountered after entering the mine.

After Matthew finished telling the story, everyone in the tent frowned.

"Based on what Mr. Ma said, the Blood Cloud Sect has found a way into the mine, and has also released a large number of demonic insects to clean up the monks inside. We must be extremely careful when we enter later." The old man surnamed He was the first to speak. .

"But this guy said that many monster insects are dead. Is this our chance?" A middle-aged man wearing a blue robe said.

"It's hard to say. There are many forks in the mine and they are intricately intertwined. The large monster insects of the Blood Cloud Sect will definitely be unable to enter. I just don't know what their back-up plan is." Zhu Que shook his head and said.

"Boy Ma, have you seen my apprentice inside?" The old man named Chi Yuan suddenly asked.

"Who is your apprentice?" Matthew asked with some confusion.

"Weng Cheng'an."

"died."

If Chi Yuan was asking someone else, Matthew might not know yet, but since it was Weng Chengan, he could be [-]% sure that the other person was dead.

In fact, Chi Yuan had already guessed it when Matthew said that almost all the monks inside were dead.

He just wanted to confirm again.

"My disciple Weng Cheng'an, although he is a little arrogant by nature, is indeed talented in refining weapons. It's a pity that he has to enter the mine." After getting a positive answer from Matthew, Chi Yuan sighed deeply. Said to himself.

"It's a good thing you girl came out early, otherwise you would have stayed in." The old man surnamed He scolded Cui'er as he cast a glance at Cui'er standing behind him.

"I know I was wrong." Cui'er shrank her neck and shouted.

Half an hour passed quickly.

Seeing that no one came again, Zhu Que asked everyone to leave the tent and go to the mine.

While in the tent, Matthew had already asked what the consequences would be for not obeying Master Yun's orders.

The replies I received were all indifferent. Nowadays, few people actually listen to orders.

Since the Jiuxing Sect rebelled against the enemy, everyone has been in danger, and everyone is thinking about how to survive this disaster.

The tasks assigned by the sect were mostly perfunctory.

Not only people like Zhu Que ignored the sect's orders, but also the pill-forming monks did the same.

After the group entered the secret passage, Matthew led the way.

After all, he had just come out of it and was familiar with it.

Although he was a little reluctant, Matthew could only do it.

Everyone stopped at every marked point.

The old man surnamed He inspected the talismans buried by Matthew.

After confirming that it was correct, the group continued to set off.

After passing a fork in the road, Matthew was stopped.

"You go to the back, and I will lead the rest of the way." After the middle-aged man in green robe finished speaking, he walked to the front.

Matthew was a little confused. This road did not lead to the next marked point.

Seeing that everyone else looked normal, Matthew didn't hesitate to ask more questions and walked to the back obediently.

"Senior Brother Ma, is the golden-armored mantis really that powerful?" Cui'er, who was walking behind, asked in a low voice immediately after seeing Matthew coming.

"It's very powerful. Senior Brother Weng was decapitated at once." Matthew nodded.

"Don't worry, the path we are taking now has been prepared for a long time. It is in the same direction as the one you took before. We will not encounter the golden mantis." Cui'er comforted.

What Matthew didn't understand was that since this road was so important, why should he be asked to place the talisman somewhere else.

"What are we going to use to get out of here? Are we going directly through the mine?" Matthew asked in a low voice.

"I don't know about this either. Master didn't tell me about this." Cui'er shook her head and said.

Here, Matthew and Cui'er have the lowest cultivation level, so they are the only ones who can speak.

After experiencing some things, Tweety's temperament has also changed a lot.

He is much calmer than before, and his temper is not as out-of-the-box as before.

Every time they walked, everyone would stop, and then the old man surnamed He would bury a talisman in the rock wall.

Now, Matthew finally understood.

Everything he did before was probably to attract attention, because judging from the technique, the old man surnamed He was obviously much better than Matthew.

The talisman buried by the old man surnamed He shows no trace at all from the outside.

"These old guys are really careful. They actually have two paths: one is true and the other is false." Matthew muttered in his heart.

If someone discovered that they had escaped into the mine, the first thing to be investigated would definitely be the talisman buried by Matthew.

If you follow the talisman route set by Matthew, you will be led to a dead end.

Just as Matthew was sighing at the wisdom of these old guys, he saw the green-robed monk walking in front suddenly raised his arm.

This is a signal to stop, and this person will do this every time he comes to a place where the talisman needs to be buried.

"Everyone be on alert, there is a situation ahead!" The green-robed monk said softly, then took out a white flying knife and held it in his hand.

At the same time, everyone took out their magic weapons and stood on guard.

Matthew not only took out the Blazing Sword and Black Turtle Shield, he even attached a few talismans to his body.
