Please give me a chance to be a straight man

At this time the sun had just risen, and the golden sunlight pierced through the layers of fog, swaying a little bit of brilliance.

Shen Xu and the others had been on the road for the past few days, and gradually discovered some things in the secret realm of the sky.For example, some aggressive monsters and spiritual plants are mostly nocturnal, so the secret area will be relatively safe during the day.So Shen Xu and the others try to travel as much as possible during the day and rest at night.In addition, everyone is already an experienced monk, and there are no mistakes that young monks often make, so the journey went smoothly.

When they reached the middle of the secret realm, everyone finally stopped to recuperate and rest.During this period, Shen Xu's chatterbox nature broke out, and he caught a monk and started gossiping with him.The monk knew that Shen Xu was a disciple of Tianxuanzong, so even though he didn't like to listen to his nonsense, he didn't show any impatient expression.

As the patron, Qu Qingge had to think carefully about everything as well as the guides. Although the secret realm looked relatively safe at this time, in order to prevent accidents, he still set up a defensive circle.

Shen Xu originally thought that Qu Qingge was born in Wanjian Mountain, and his sword casting skills and swordsmanship were top-notch, but he didn't expect that his speed of setting up the magic circle was also extremely fast, Shen Xu really opened his eyes.

After everyone had a good rest, they continued to go deep into the secret realm.Encountered a lot of strange sights along the way, all the monks were well-informed, but they couldn't help but secretly marveled.

As the crowd continued to move forward, the surrounding scenery began to seem to gradually lose its vitality and began to become dim and desolate.At the same time, the surrounding demonic energy gradually became stronger.

Seeing this, everyone raised their spirits.According to everyone's knowledge, the stronger the magic energy, the greater the chance of monsters and aggressive spirit plants appearing.So at this moment, everyone became silent, and each released their spiritual consciousness to explore the surrounding situation.

Although Shen Xu's cultivation base is not the highest among all the monks, he is a demon cultivator after all, so his spiritual knowledge will not be hindered by the surrounding demon energy, and the range he can detect is naturally the widest among all the monks.

After everyone checked the surrounding situation one by one, they all said that it was safe and there were no monsters.

Qu Qingge nodded, then looked at Jiang Xun and asked warmly, "Brother Jiang Xun, did you find anything?"

Jiang Xun shook his head.This time Qu Qingge felt relieved, so he called everyone to move on.

On the way forward, Shen Xu gradually frowned.Jiang Xun had been looking at Shen Xu not far away, and seeing his expression, he walked over. "What's wrong?"

Shen Xu glanced at Jiang Xun, and was hesitating whether to tell him what he had discovered, when he heard a scream from among the crowd, Shen Xu and Jiang Xun hurriedly looked for their reputation, when suddenly a person appeared in mid-air There was a cloud of black mist, and in the black mist, a monk was being dragged into the black mist by the sharp claws of a beast.

The black mist seemed to be highly corrosive, and as soon as the monk entered it, the flesh and blood of his limbs disappeared at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing this, everyone drew their swords and wanted to fight the monster, but they were stopped by Qu Qingge. "Young Master Qu, what do you mean?"

Qu Qingge explained, "Fellow Taoists, don't be impatient. Have you ever thought about what this black mist is before you save people?"

Everyone fell silent.Seeing this, Qu Qingge sighed and replied, "This cloud of mist is the fog beast unique to the secret realm of the sky. .I know you are eager to save people, but you have to think about the consequences!"

After Qu Qingge finished speaking, there was no one to refute.At the same time, the monk caught by the fog beast lost his breath.

After the fog beast was full of wine and food, it flicked its scarlet tongue, and then gradually disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Although the monks were very angry when they saw this, they were helpless.

Because of the death, most of the monks remained silent for the rest of the journey, and the atmosphere was very dull for a while.

However, this atmosphere didn't last long, because they encountered a big trouble—the monster herd.

Groups of monsters are generally rarely encountered in relatively high-level secret realms.Because in high-level secret realms, generally low-level monsters and spiritual plants that have not activated their intelligence and have low blood talent have a low survival rate. Even if they move in groups, they are still just a meal for high-level monsters.Therefore, even if there are low-level monsters in the secret realm of the sky, they dare not appear in front of everyone in broad daylight.

Thinking of this, everyone's expressions became serious.Sure enough, what appeared in front of everyone was a monster with extremely high bloodlines—the three-tailed phoenix snake.

The three-tailed phoenix snake was conceived jointly by the phoenix with the blood of the divine beast and the three-tailed green snake. It has reached the golden core cultivation level when it was young, and is good at the two spiritual powers of wind and fire.After becoming an adult, there is no rival among monsters of the same level of cultivation.Its demon pill is so precious that it can be said to be priceless.Even if a monk in the Nascent Soul Stage went bankrupt, he might not be able to afford a three-tailed phoenix pill.

The monks didn't expect to meet the three-tailed phoenix snake in the secret realm of the sky today, and everyone's eyes couldn't hide their excitement.

Seeing this, Shen Xu yawned. Although he didn't know anything about the three-tailed phoenix snake, he knew from the expressions of the monks that the value of this monster was absolutely extraordinary.But relatively more precious things, the higher the price to pay, sometimes even life.

Shen Xu glanced at the monks who were still immersed in the death of their comrades and couldn't extricate themselves, but now they were all looking at the monster group of three-tailed phoenix snakes with burning eyes.The heavy atmosphere just now seemed like an illusion.Shen Xu couldn't help but secretly sighed, the so-called fellowship of righteous monks is nothing more than that.

Qu Qingge has always been meticulous, so he can clearly see the emotions in everyone's eyes.It's just that the time for the birth of the cold crystal black iron is imminent, and he has no time to delay. If there are casualties after the monks fight the three-tailed phoenix snake, his mission will not be completed, and the master will definitely punish him at that time.

Thinking of this, Qu Qingge gritted his teeth, turned his head and said to everyone, "Fellow daoists, our task right now is to obtain the cold crystal black iron first. If you all want to obtain the demon pill of the three-tailed phoenix snake, come back after we complete the task." Not too late."

Shen Xu shook his head secretly when he heard the words. Qu Qingge was still naive after all. The reason why all the monks helped find the cold crystal black iron was to get closer to Wan Jianshan. For monks, they really don't necessarily care.

But the three-tailed phoenix snake in front of him is very different, its whole body is an unattainable treasure for monks.People usually don't see such treasures, so naturally they don't think much about them.But now that they are within reach and within reach, it is impossible for them to stop.

As expected, no one listened to Qu Qingge's words.Shen Xu only felt several figures flash past his eyes, and several monks rushed into the herd of three-tailed phoenix snakes.

For a moment, there were screams again and again.
