He is lying on wooden furniture for sleeping

In the eyes of the senior brother, the back view left by Chi Jue was inevitably a bit tragic.

He believed that Chi Jue's trip was full of dangers, and he had already made plans to return to Yun Yinzong.

But in fact, Chi Jue just had a sense of fear about the unknown depth of the lake.

Stopping in his tracks, Chi Jue showed an expression of resignation to death.

Underneath is Moxiu, he is there, at least drove away things like water ghosts, Chi Jue cheered himself up.

At least there will be no sinister pale face suddenly appearing in front of my eyes, nor will my ankle be grabbed by withered hands...

There were gloomy pictures shaking in his mind, and Chi Jue felt that his confidence was getting less and less.

Shaking his head, to drive the scary things out of his mind, Chi Jue took a deep breath, didn't think any more, then jumped into the lake.

There was a soft sound without splashing water, and Chi Jue's figure immediately disappeared in the dark green lake water.

Chi Jue used to be good at water, but now that he is protected by zhenqi, he has no fear in the water.

After getting used to it, open your eyes wide and search in the lake.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing unusual, so Chi Jue had no choice but to continue diving down.

The lower you go, the more stuffy your chest becomes. Without the support of oxygen, only relying on zhenqi to protect your body, after a long time, you will feel a little uncomfortable.

Looking at the color of the lake, Chi Jue thought the lake was at least 80 to 30 meters deep, but when he went down to about [-] meters, he stepped to the bottom.

The miasma spread from the front, and after some identification, the direction was determined.

The thin zhenqi at the bottom of the lake could no longer compete with it, so Chi Jue let out more zhenqi, covering his whole body in protection.

On one side of the lake bottom, the miasma was as black as insoluble ink, forming a barrier like a wall.

Bracing himself up, Chi Jue got in, crossed the miasma wall, and came behind the miasma.

It was a big cave, and the path at the end was dark and bottomless.

Isolated by the miasma, the water in the lake cannot overflow, and a corner of the cave is filled with a large number of fish corpses, layer upon layer, which is shocking.

No wonder I didn't see a single fish in the lake, they must have been killed by the miasma, Chi determined to be stunned, he couldn't help but turn his eyes away from the sight of corpses and the tangy smell.

Across the pile of fish carcasses, Chi Jue walked towards the path at the end of the cave.

At the bottom of the lake, the miasma is even more intense, and the air seems to be divided into two halves by it.

"Don't take it lightly." Ten Ming reminded softly.

"En." Chi Jue concentrated, his five senses became much sharper.

Walking in the path, when we came to a fork, the roads in front of us became two. Chi Jue picked the one on the right and continued. Not long after, the roads became four again.

Stopping, Chi Jue touched his chin and said, "Will there be eight next time?"

Surrounded by silence, only the sound of his own breathing could be heard, Chi Jue chose the rightmost path and walked in.

After walking for a long while, Chi Jue reached the bottom without encountering another forked road. Blocked by the cold and wet rock wall.

Looking at the rock wall in front of him, there are rustling sounds coming from behind.

After careful identification, the small sound was actually the sound of footsteps.

He tilted his head without any trace, and looked out of the corner of his eye, two tall figures approached quietly.

With the fleshy wings gathered behind the back, the dark skin and ugly appearance are actually the monsters seen in the village before.

Pretending not to notice, Chi Jue continued to face the wall without looking back.

The monster approached quietly, stretched out its sharp claws, and slapped Chi Jue fiercely.

Chi Jue didn't dodge either, he felt a heavy blow to the back of his head, and then he felt dizzy, and then passed out.

He didn't know the details of the other party, so instead of searching blindly at the bottom of the lake, he might as well let the other party take him there. Although he was restrained, at least it saved a lot of time. This was Chi Jue's last thought before he lost consciousness.

The hands were cut behind the back by the rough hemp rope, and I don't know how long it took before I regained my clarity.

Without opening his eyes, he could hear faint breathing nearby.

Chi Jue narrowed his eyes, his black eyes turned, and moved left and right.

The location is another cave, where many people are imprisoned, in ragged clothes, and they all look familiar.

A head of gray hair was very eye-catching, Chi Jue fixed his eyes, and found that she was actually an old woman in the village, he was startled, and immediately went into a daze.

After careful identification, the cave was filled with people from that village.

That village is not a star and a half away from here. Even Yujian would take a day or two. Why did you see them here?Chi was still undecided in his determination.

The people in the village were attacked by the miasma, and they had long been delirious and weak. They were leaning on all sides. In the corner, Chi Jue saw Li Lin's figure.

Li Lin's face was a little pale, but it seemed that he just fainted, and there was nothing serious about it.

After calming down a little, Chi decided to sort out his thoughts.

Mo Xiu Li Lin must have known the white ghost, Chi Jue thought.Looking around the cave again, he didn't think it was just a coincidence.

"Chi Jue." Shi Ming's voice lingered in his head.

"How?" Chi Jue asked eagerly.

"There are countless roads and caves extending from the bottom of the lake. There is a cave full of children."

"Where's the magician?"

"He's not here." Shi Ming smiled and said, "Otherwise you wouldn't be here now."

Looking at the monster guarding the entrance of the cave, Chi Jue was silent for a while.

Moxiu's absence is a great opportunity to sit on the sidelines, but monsters and Moxiu are related to each other, if they act rashly, Moxiu will know.

Demon cultivator Li Lin must have known about the fact that the monster had captured two immortal cultivators, and he might be on his way back in a hurry.

With the flow of true energy in the body, Chi Jue condensed his cultivation and turned into a sharp cold light invisible to the naked eye. Under the control of his mind, the rope tied to his hand broke silently.

"He caught so many children, didn't he..." Chi Jue was talking, when his expression changed slightly, and he said, "Too bad, I promised to contact my senior, but now I don't know how much time has passed."

"It's only half an hour."

A little more secure, calm down, and a ray of thought came out.

Chi Jue told the senior brother that he was with Li Lin at the moment, and that both of them were safe and sound, and told him to find a hidden place to hide, so as not to be discovered by Moxiu who didn't know when he would come back.

"Ten lives, get on me and take me to look elsewhere."

The people in the cave are piled up together, and if there is one person missing, the monsters will not find it.But if you want to get out from under its nose, only Ten Lives can do it.

"Oh?" Shi Ming smiled and said, "This is what you asked for, so don't say anything inappropriate afterwards."

Being pointed out in this way, Chi Jue's originally awe-inspiring words suddenly weakened: "Of course..."

The hemp rope fell to the ground with a slight inaudible sound, and the monster turned its back to Chi Jue, and did not notice anything unusual.

Chi Jue stood up, stepping calmly, stepped over the monster beast, and left the cave.

The monster was still standing there like a sculpture, as if it had nothing in its eyes and didn't see it.

His eyes were closed, but his senses spread out. Although he was not in control of his body, Chi Jue could clearly perceive everything around him.

Presumably, Ten Lives had thoroughly explored the entire bottom of the lake while he was in a coma.

Walking on the dark and winding roads, it's like walking around your own back garden. It doesn't seem like you're here for the first time.

On the way, I met many monsters, their copper-bell-like vertical pupils stared wide open, but none of the monsters uttered a cry of surprise at Chi Jue passing by.

"Take you to see something." Shi Ming said.

In another cave, a huge cauldron stood tall.

The simple and unsophisticated cauldron body looks the same as the cauldron furnace in the alchemy room, but it is a little bigger.

Thick miasma, like condensed black mist, continuously floated out from the cauldron.

After pondering for a while, the tip of his nose smelled a strange smell, Chi Jue asked: "What is this for, could it be..."

The thoughts in his heart were a little scary, and Chi Jue didn't finish his words.

"Alchemy." Shi Ming said, "Those children are all materials."

Chi Jue: "!"

Suppressing his restless heart, Chi Jue said: "When the demon cultivator comes back, he will definitely say that a cultivator is worth as many children, and then treat Li Lin and me as materials for alchemy."

This kind of play can be guessed even with feet.

"Next, what are you going to do?"

"Destroy this cauldron."

"No." Ten Lives stopped.

"Why?" Chi Jue asked.

"Destroy it, the miasma will overflow, and people in the nearby tribes will die."

"..." This is a problem, Chi Jue hesitated a bit, and said, "The mission is to kill Moxiu, but seeing so many people being arrested, we can't just sit idly by."

"Ah."

"I figured out a way to deal with it."

"tell me the story."

In a few words, Chi Jue said it.

After refining the specifics of how to act, Chi Jue sensed the breath of the demon cultivator, and immediately stopped staying and returned to the cave where he woke up.

The hemp rope was wrapped under the control of Xiuwei, Chi Jue pretended to be tied behind his back, closed his eyes, and leaned against the cave wall powerlessly.

Like a meteor treading, the heavy footsteps echoed in the empty cave.

As the footsteps got closer, Chi Jue narrowed his eyes and saw Moxiu who had come to the entrance of the cave.

"Master, we caught two immortal cultivators!" The monster was asking for credit with an extremely excited tone.

Moxiu glanced at the monster beast, with a calm expression on his face, and said, "Since they are immortal cultivators, why lock them here? There is no barrier in this cave, and they can come and go freely."

Seeing accusations, the monster lost its excitement and said, "The children over there have been crying all the time. I'm afraid I'll wake up these two comatose cultivators."

"Then how did you know that they didn't wake up?" Looking across the cave, Moxiu recognized Li Lin and Chi Jue among the crowd.

"This..." The monster was a little speechless.

"That's all." Moxiu didn't care about opening his mouth, and waved his hand, a black barrier appeared at the entrance of the cave: "Before I come back, there is still a chance to escape, now... hum."

Sneering twice, Chi Jue remained silent, adjusted his breathing, and continued to pretend to be unconscious.

Moxiu stepped forward, picked up Li Lin from the crowd, threw him on the open space in the cave, kicked him, and said coldly, "Don't pretend to be asleep."

After being thrown heavily, Li Lin didn't respond, and his body limply collapsed on the ground.It seems that the miasma has invaded too much, and it will not be able to wake up for a while.

"Still pretending."

He didn't show mercy, and kicked a few more times, but Li Lin remained motionless.

After staring at him for a while, Moxiu smiled sternly and said, "It seems that I really haven't woken up."

After all, Moxiu cast a sidelong glance at Chi Jue.

Chi Jue: "..."

You don't want to test me like this, do you?

Shall I tell him I'm awake?

Moxiu's figure came over like a dense cloud, he picked up Chi Jue and threw it into the air.

Being thrown on Li Lin, Chi Jue didn't touch the cold ground directly, and escaped the pain he didn't want to suffer.

"Tell you to pretend to be asleep." Mo Xiu glanced coldly, stretched out his legs and kicked him.

That powerful kick even brought a strong wind.

Nima, no!want!ah!

Chi Jue screamed in his heart, and when Moxiu was about to kick him, he rolled to the side violently.

This roll was limp and weak, as if he had been kicked and kicked away with great force.

Moxiu frowned and said, "I haven't kicked it yet."

Chi Jue played dead and didn't move.

With another kick, Chi Jue rolled away like last time, this time he rolled to a corner.

"Are you awake?" Mo Xiu thoughtfully, staring at the people on the ground.

"Master, he hasn't woken up." The monster on the side said appropriately: "Look at his appearance, he is much thinner than the one next to him. Master, you are thoughtful, but in my eyes, he is just too weak. You kick it with great strength, without hitting the kick, the strong wind can blow him far away, don't believe me, try again?"

He didn't forget to flatter his words, and Moxiu smiled in his ears with satisfaction, and said, "Your words make sense. I don't think he's awake."

"It's hard for you." Ten Ming's low laughter spread out in his mind.

"Hmph, he's still testing with his feet. If he dares to get close, let him look good." Gritting his teeth in his heart, even if he was found pretending to be unconscious, Chi Jue was almost certain.

Of course, it is better if it is not discovered now.

Moxiu looked away from Chi Jue, and said to the monster: "Cultivators are not ordinary children, and their effectiveness is not low, but they need to be treated to make their nutrients into medicine. You continue to watch over them, and I will come back later." .”

The monster bowed its head and said: "Yes."

Watching Moxiu leave, Chi Jue let out a soft breath.
