Shimen is poisonous

Ruan Feiqing didn't expect that Ye Baihan would take the initiative to propose this idea, and was stunned for a moment.

Ye Bohan said: "Thanks to Master Yan for treating me, although I'm not very good, I'm still a monk at the Golden Core Stage. It just so happens that my senior brother is quite boring recently, so let's go together." Then he looked at the door and said , "Really, brother?"

Se Xiyin stood at the door with her chest folded, and said with a smile, "I'm really bored."

Compared with Ye Baihan, who is only at the Jindan stage, Se Xiyin is close to unfathomable in Ruan Feiqing's view.He was very happy at once, and then said: "We will set off at Mao tomorrow and gather at Taniguchi. Is it convenient for the two uncles?"

Ye Baihan replied: "No problem, my second senior brother and I always get up early."

After making an appointment in this way, the two met with a disciple of Pill Valley in Taniguchi the next morning.

After gathering, Ye Bohan glanced at the disciples around him, and found that the group of Pill Valley disciples obviously had a high level of cultivation. They all seemed to be above Jindan, only half of them were in the late stage of foundation establishment, but they were almost about to break through.

And different from the disciples of Pill Valley that Ye Baihan usually came into contact with, this group of disciples seemed to have gone through a lot of vicissitudes. It seemed that they had experienced many battles, and they knew that they were quite experienced in actual combat just by looking at their dress and standing posture.

As for the real combat power, you have to experience it to know.

After all the people arrived, Ruan Feiqing began to lead the team to set off.

The so-called Zhiyan Cave is located in the southeast of Pill Valley, almost between Pingnan City and Lucheng City. According to Pill Valley, there is a small distance.

It took Ye Baihan and others Yu Jian to fly for a quarter of an hour before they reached the ground.

And the closer he got to the Flame Cave, Ye Baihan found that the surrounding air was getting hotter.He opened his mouth and asked Ruan Feiqing and the others: "Is there geothermal heat nearby?"

Then a disciple of Pill Valley replied: "Exactly. The area where the Zhiyan Cave is located is the center of the geothermal area, and it is occupied by a group of red silkworms all the year round. Generally speaking, we will not kill them all, but the red silkworms multiply very fast. And it will devour the rocks near the geothermal heat, causing the surface layer of the ground to break, and the geothermal heat will pour out of the surface, so we will clean it up every once in a while to control their number. I didn't expect that there would be a mutated red silkworm king this time, but a We were caught off guard."

Ye Bohan asked again: "Hasn't it appeared before?"

Ruan Feiqing then interjected: "It's not that it hasn't happened at all, but it's relatively rare. However, the mutation of the Scarlet Silkworm King happens at least once every ten years. When the luck was the worst, it once mutated once in two consecutive years. .”

Then he paused, and then said: "The scarlet silkworm king also mutates fast and slow, strong and weak. If we don't react for a while, and fail to deal with it in time, when the surface is eaten clean, they will multiply outward... ...It will be dangerous at that time. The nearby vegetation and creatures may be eaten up."

Ye Baihan asked: "If it is eaten clean by the red silkworm, is it possible for the ground environment to recover afterward?"

"Leave the corpses of the red silkworms where they are, and after a while they will petrify and form rock formations again." Ruan Feiqing replied, "However, the vegetation needs to grow slowly again."

Ye Baihan nodded.

After hearing this, Se Xiyin said, "This thing seems quite interesting... After the Scarlet Silkworm King is dealt with, will you leave its corpse where it is?"

Ruan Feiqing was stunned for a moment, and then said: "We will take some useful materials, such as the fire core stone inside the Scarlet Silkworm King, and then leave most of the corpses in place to wait for it to petrify again... Do you want it, Master Se? ? If Shishu wants it, he can give it to Shishu. Anyway, Guli has already accumulated a lot of such materials."

Se Xiyin smiled and said, "I want a complete corpse... is it okay?"

Ruan Feiqing asked puzzledly: "A complete corpse...? Why? The body of the Scarlet Silkworm King is very big, and the main body is still a fire rock, which usually turns into petrification soon after death. What's the use of the corpse? ?”

Se Xiyin said: "I want to cut it open and have a look. Don't you think a moving rock is interesting? It eats rocks and grows up, and it turns back into stone after death... So, what makes it so It moves, don't you want to know?"

Hearing what he said, Ruan Feiqing said: "So, there is really something worth studying."

Talking like this, a group of people had already arrived near the Burning Flame Cave.

To be honest, the appearance of Zhiyan Cave is a bit disgusting, it looks like a hill formed by countless huge fiery red caddis worms.Of course, based on the explanations given by the Pill Valley disciples just now, Ye Baihan has guessed to some extent that this cave may really be built by countless corpses of red silkworms piled up over the years.

Even after these red silkworms are slaughtered, they will give birth to new ones in the next year. According to the guess of Dangu's disciples, it is because the red silkworms lay their eggs in the geothermal heat or even magma, and they will climb up after hatching. On the ground, eat rocks and grow yourself.

Compared with the disgusting appearance of Zhiyan Cave, after Ye Baihan and others entered the cave, they found that the interior landscape was not as vivid and disgusting as the exterior.Although the stone wall looks a bit bumpy, as if it has been eaten by something, but the senses are much more normal.

Because the ground is also pitted by eating, it is not very easy to walk.Because the space was relatively tight, the disciples couldn't continue to control their swords, so they all started to fall to the ground and began to walk with their feet.

But for Ye Baihan, it's not too difficult to walk.

Although the places where the red silkworms gnawed were rather uneven, there were still some traces of the red silkworms crawling in the middle.These traces are relatively flat and belong to a convenient place to stay.

In addition, Ye Bohan is also a monk at the Golden Core stage, and it is common for him to jump up and down Mount Jialuo, so his movements are still very sensitive.On the other hand, the disciples of Pill Valley seem to have neglected to exercise on weekdays. Although they have the physique of a cultivator, their movements are much clumsier than Ye Baihan.

After Se Xiyin and Ye Baihan entered the cave, they quickly stepped on several footholds and jumped a long way, but when they turned around, they found that the disciples of Pill Valley were supporting each other and trying to get out from between a pile of rubble and protrusions. Slowly crossing over, both of them immediately highlighted a string of ellipsis.

Especially Ruan Feiqing, whose clumsy posture can hardly be seen.

Ye Baihan saw that he was going very hard, hesitated for a moment, then jumped back quickly, and said, "I said... you are monks, right? Do you have to walk so hard on this road?"

Hearing what he said, Ruan Feiqing immediately raised her head and wanted to retort: ​​"Do you think everyone is like your Mount Jialuo..."

As a result, as soon as he raised his head, he stumbled over a protruding stone tooth, and was about to throw himself on the ground full of all kinds of sharp stone thorns and stones.

Seeing that he was going to rush out, all the disciples were shocked and shouted: "Brother!" Someone reached out to grab Ruan Feiqing's clothes, but they almost missed.

Seeing that it would be the end of his death before he was successful, Ruan Feiqing's face turned pale in a flash, and he closed his eyes suddenly, but in the next second, a slender arm that obviously did not look like an adult suddenly passed around his chest , stopped his downward trend.

Ye Baihan helped Ruan Feiqing in time, and then simply picked him up and put him on the side of the foot. Unexpectedly, Ruan Feiqing remained motionless, his face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, and he looked as if he was dead.

Ye Baihan froze for a moment: "... fainted from fright?"

But Ruan Feiqing suddenly opened his eyes and said angrily: "No!" Then he pushed Ye Baihan away and grabbed a stone bud on the rock wall to stand firm - he just wanted to play dead, because it was too embarrassing.

It took a long time, and everyone finally passed through the outer cave passage, and arrived at the inner hollow below where a group of red silkworms gathered.Ye Baihan saw more than ten red silkworms gathered in the center of the cave at a glance.

Then there was Chican who discovered where the disciples were, and seemed to be trying to swim towards them... Youyouyou.

After swimming for a long time, I didn't swim out because I was blocked by my companions in front of me.However, the red silkworm moves slowly and does not turn quickly, so it is very clumsy.

Ye Baihan's face was full of black lines, and he turned to Ruan Feiqing and the others and asked, "Is your senior brother injured by this kind of thing?"

Ruan Feiqing's face turned dark immediately, and he said, "They were injured by the Scarlet Silkworm King, not the Red Silkworm! The Scarlet Silkworm King moved very fast, completely different from these ordinary red silkworms!"

But after saying this, he explained: "Don't look at the slow and clumsy movements of these ordinary red silkworms, but when they fight, they are extremely powerful, invulnerable, and poisonous, so they are very difficult to deal with. "

He was talking, but he didn't know why a cool breath suddenly floated in front of him, and then all the disciples instinctively raised their heads to look forward, and saw a figure suspended in mid-air, and then following the movement of the magic weapon in their hands, hot The temperature in the cave suddenly dropped like crazy, and then snowflakes came out.

Almost in the blink of an eye, snowflakes began to appear in patches, flying crazily and turning into a blizzard.The blizzard didn't last long, but when it started to dissipate, only a pile of red silkworms frozen into ice remained on the ground.

Se Xiyin smiled lightly, and as his laughter sounded, the red silkworms on the ground began to crack one after another, and they all turned into pieces almost like jade.

At this time, the temperature in the cave began to rise slowly, and then quickly rose back to a level that made people feel hot.Between the cold and the heat, some Pill Valley disciples reacted slowly. They just felt cold and couldn't help but hugged their shoulders and sneezed loudly.

Ruan Feiqing was dumbfounded, unable to face the "difficult to deal with" he said a moment ago.
