Chapter 27 [027] Breaking the Formation

With the experience of the first time, Chen Xiang didn't feel that uncomfortable this time. He was hung obediently, with Zhongli Jin next to him. In a sense, the two of them were shoulder to shoulder.

Zhongli Jin felt a little uncomfortable.

Ever since he knew that these bandages were connected to Shi Qing's five senses, he wanted his feet to heal faster so that he could get down and walk by himself.

After about half an incense stick of time, the four of them finally returned to the main road.

The young man's feet were almost healed thanks to the resurrection pill. "Senior Sister Shi Qing," he said impatiently, "You can let me down now."

Shi Qing took back the bandage, Zhong Lijin returned to the ground, and Chen Xiang struggled a few times and said, "I can do it too!"

"Yeah." Shi Qing put her down.

This time, I didn't find any opportunities, and my junior sister and Zhongli Jin were injured. It seems like a loss.

"Let's leave here, there probably isn't anything left." Cangying said.

Just as they were about to walk towards the exit, they suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps behind them!

The person who had taken those steps kept shouting, "Help! Help!!"

The four heard the voice and turned around, only to see a male disciple in purple clothes running towards them, covered in blood.

Cangying frowned: "It's someone from Liaoyue Valley."

Zhongli Jin had a bad feeling in his heart.

——I didn’t expect there was someone else in the cave!
In addition to the man, there was actually a long tongue chasing after him!

The tongue was horribly slippery, covered with mucus, and even had long barbs. At first glance, it was impossible to tell what kind of monster the tongue came from.

Shi Qing drew his sword and rushed forward, blocking the male disciple behind him, and directly cut off the chasing tongue with one sword!

The owner of the tongue seemed to feel the pain and quickly retracted it.

The main stone road returned to a brief calm.

The man was so frightened that his face turned pale and he seemed to be unconscious. He collapsed to the ground and muttered, "Monster... Monster..."

"Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist?" Zhong Lijin half-knelt down, looked at the man with concern, and asked, "What happened?"

The man took a deep breath and spoke tremblingly after a while: "Hurry... run, the magic circle... has been broken..."

——A magic circle! As expected!

Shi Qing, Cangying, Chen Xiang and the others probably didn’t know about it, but Zhongli Jin had seen it!
The last magic array in this cave is the Red Blood Sealing Array that has lasted for tens of millions of years!
The young man looked gloomy and solemn.

The old man also said: [It was fine just now! How did it suddenly break?! It must be these purple-clothed disciples who were confused and moved the seal of the gate! They accidentally helped the monster inside! Youngsters! It is probably eating people to replenish its strength so that it can break through the last suppression. We must not let it succeed!]

[I understand!] Zhongli Jin clenched his fists.

"Brother... Brother and the others are still behind! Save them... Please save them--!" Before he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook!
Along with a low roar that seemed to come from the abyss, the mountain began to shake, as if something was about to wake up in the depths of the cave!
The next second, several tongues identical to the previous ones rushed out from the direction where the male disciple escaped, at an extremely fast speed, like a flying snake, and grabbed the disciple who had just escaped and dragged him back!

"No, no!! Help!" He was clutching the ground tightly, his nails were broken, blood was flowing, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, he looked extremely terrified, almost crazy, but his strength was no match for that long tongue, and the man was dragged back into the darkness by it, so fast that the four of them didn't have time to rescue each other!
"Run away!" Cangying grabbed Chen Xiang, it's not advisable to stay here for long!

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Qing rushed forward with a sword in hand.

Seeing this, Shen Xiang widened her eyes and said, “Where are you going?!”

Shi Qing said: "There is still hope."

The man just now can still be saved.

"You're an idiot! He looks like he's at least at the Golden Core stage! He's so scared! Who are you going to save when you're just at the Foundation Establishment stage?!" Chen Xiang's eyes suddenly turned red, and she wanted to break away from Cangying and rush forward to pull Shi Qing back.

"Cangying," Shi Qing's voice was extremely calm, like a piece of thousand-year-old ice in the boiling water without fear, "Leave them to you."

Cangying knew what she meant. She took Zhongli Jin and the junior sister and escaped first. She was going to save them no matter what.

Cangying also understood her, so she didn't stop him. Instead, she took out a bottle of pills from her bosom and threw them to her, saying, "If you can't save her, take care of yourself first. Blood-recovering pills, keep them ready!"

Then he said to Zhongli Jin and Chen Xiang: “Let’s go out first!”

However, before he could finish his words, Zhongli Jin rushed towards the direction where the man was dragged away!

"Junior Brother Zhongli!" Cangying was stunned. She didn't expect that the boy would rush back to save people like Shi Qing.

Cangying gritted her teeth slightly, feeling extremely worried, but the most important thing now was to get the little junior sister out right away!
Shi Xiang cannot make any mistakes at all!

Seeing the male lead and Shi Qing rushing back to save people, Shen Xiang was a little dazed.

[Isn't Shi Qing a vicious female supporting role? Why is she replying? ! How could she go back to save people regardless of the danger? ! System! You said she is selfish, arrogant, and looks down on the weak, so what about now? ! Why does she want to go back? ! Why did you say that man can still be saved? ! System! Is she really that kind of person! ? ]

Facing the crazy questioning in the girl's mind, the system's voice suddenly became a little cold; [Are you questioning me?! Host! How could I lie to you?! How long have you been here and you are deceived by the performance of the female supporting role? She is just pretending! She needs a good reputation! She needs witnesses like you to spread it for her! That's why I went back!]

While she was stunned, Cangying had already dragged her out.

"Junior sister, let's go!"

Chen Xiang's body seemed to have been emptied of his soul, and he followed Cangying out in a daze.

[Is that so…] She murmured.

[That's right! Host, you must believe me! ]

【But--】

Chen Xiang's eyes suddenly became sharp, [But if she dies in there! What's the point of her having those false reputations? ! ]

[She won't die! She wants to be famous! How could she dare to die?! She will be out soon! Host! You have to believe me!! You and I are in the same boat! Do you still want to go home?! ! ]

The last sentence hit Shen Xiang hard.

Come back home.

Yes...she wants to go home.

*
There is no end to the tongue.

If I guessed correctly, that person should be dragged back and eaten.

The top of the cave was about sixty to seventy feet above the ground, high enough for flying on a sword. Shi Qing flew up on his sword, chasing the man against the hot wind.

The man was still calling for help. He must have been so frightened that he forgot to resist.

The snow-white bandage also rushed towards the man at a rapid speed, but even if it was wrapped around the opponent's wrist, it was difficult to pull it back. The power of the tongue was so great that if it continued to pull, the man's body would only be torn apart!

"Shi Qing!" Zhong Lijin's voice suddenly came from behind: "Pull me up on the sword! I'll go with you!"

He must go to the Red Blood Sealing Array to see if he can tighten the seal again!
[If the Red Blood Sealing Formation is only broken once, and then reinforced with blood, it should be able to suppress and seal that thing!] The old man said in a deep voice: [But young man, the hope is very small.] [No matter how small it is, we have to give it a try! There is the residual soul of the Demonic Bird in the center of the battlefield, and an unknown thing is sealed in the cave. Once the two appear at the same time, not only the area of ​​Demonic Mountain, but also the entire Demonic Martial Secret Realm will be impacted!] Zhongli Jin said.

"Why are you here?!" Shi Qing's voice was rarely harsh, "Get out! You are too weak!"

"I also have things I want to do!" Zhong Li Jin said loudly.

The strong wind blew up the boy's clothes and hair. Even though he was in a dark cave, hot and rotten, and his clothes were stained with blood, his face and the firm and serious expression on his face were like a bright light in the darkness that was not afraid of the strong wind.

The situation is urgent now, and Zhongli Jin has already followed for a while.

Shi Qing knew that even if this guy ran back now, it would be too late, so he gently waved the bandage on his right arm, rolled up Zhongli Jin and brought him to the long sword, "Don't be a burden."

This time it’s - don’t drag me down.

The bandage wrapped around the man's wrist continued to extend, moving back along the man's torso and suddenly wrapping around the terrifying and sinister long tongue.

The barbs on the tongue pierced the bandage, but even so, the snow-white bandage held on to the tongue like a white snake, as if playing tug-of-war with it.

Since the man's body might be pulled apart, just pull his tongue directly.

Dense blood beads began to appear on Shi Qing's left arm. Zhong Lijin was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that the five senses were connected. The bandage pierced by the barbs was equivalent to Shi Qing's stabbed left arm!
All the damage suffered by the bandage will be reflected on Shi Qing!

"Let go!" Zhongli Jin said anxiously.

"No." However, the girl's face was calm and serious, as if she didn't feel any pain at all.

Several tongues rushed out from the darkness and rushed towards the two people on the swords!

Shi Qing put his right hand around the waist of the young man behind him, and at the moment when his tongue was about to wrap around them, he jumped down from the sword. As the bandage was still behind the man, Shi Qing was dragged forward a long way.

The tongues hit nothing, and the girl twisted her fingertips and controlled the sword to cut off all the tongues!
The last sword shadow successfully caught up with the long tongue that swept away the man and cut it again!
The man's body rolled for a distance on the ground, and he only suffered minor injuries.

Shi Qing waved his left arm to pull the man over and protected him in his arms. When he was about to pull Zhongli Jin to escape together, the young man was also rolled up by a new long tongue!
"Zhongli Jin." Shi Qing said.

"Take him out first! I have something important to do!" Zhongli Jin seemed to be entangled in the tongue on purpose and did not resist at all.

The young man disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

Shi Qing frowned, cut off a section of the bandage on his right arm with his sword, and said, "Go!"

The bandage then chased after Zhong Li Jin.

Shi Qing carried the unconscious man on his back and flew out of the cave on his sword.

*
[Youngster! You are almost in the monster's mouth!] the old man warned.

[I understand!] Zhongli Jin calculated the distance, and just before he was swallowed by the huge mouth of the abyss on the door of the stone chamber, he drew out the dagger at his waist and cut off the tongue that was wrapped around him!
The body rolled to the ground, and there was a burning pain.

But the boy didn't care about the pain at the moment.

Among the scattered piles of stones around were some of the sect's disciples' body parts, weapons and clothes, and a large pool of blood on the ground. They were probably eaten.

Zhongli Jin looked towards the stone door. There was a big hole in the center of the blood-red magic circle. The monster was behind the door. It aimed its mouth at the hole and shot out its long tongue which split into several pieces and swept through the cave.

One of its mouths is big enough to swallow dozens of people, so you can imagine how huge it is!

The young man took out many yellow talismans from his sleeve, dipped them in blood and made talismans on the spot, "The profound wisdom is intertwined, the five qi are surging! The golden light appears quickly, covering the real person!" He pasted the talismans on the surrounding stone walls, forming a golden body shield.

Zhongli Jin had previously prepared two formation plates, intending to use them to fight the enemy and save his life in a life-and-death situation, but now, he had to use one of the formation plates to repair the Red Blood Sealing Formation first.

He clenched the dagger in his hand and engraved it on the array plate according to his memory.

[Youngster! How many times have you read the engraving method of the Red Blood Sealing Formation?!]

【Once.】

The old man was startled: [One time?! How can you carve it out once?!]

【I can. 】

The young man's voice was calm and composed, his black pupils fixed on the formation plate in his hand. His eyes were deep and dark, and the aura of his whole body seemed to be condensed. The hand holding the dagger was as steady as a heavy bell at this moment.

The scarlet lips opened and closed, and the face was gorgeous and fair, revealing a breathtaking beauty under the golden light.

【Once.】

【enough. 】

*
"Junior Sister Cang!" After receiving Cangying's voice transmission, Shen Yunying, Liu Muzhou, and Chu Cheng immediately used the teleportation talisman to come to the junior sisters, but they did not see Shi Qing: "Where is Junior Sister Shi Qing?!"

Cangying said, "She's still in the cave! So is Junior Brother Zhongli!"

"Zhongli Jin?" Shen Yunying frowned.

"Yes."

As soon as Shen Xiang saw the other three senior brothers and sisters from Sanqing Mountain, he quickly found a place to hide.

She must not be discovered, otherwise she will be forced out of the secret realm.

"Muzhou and I will go in and take a look. Junior Brother Chucheng, you stay here and take good care of Junior Sister Cang!"

"it is good!"

However, just as the two were about to rush into the cave, the mountain wall suddenly trembled!
The earth shook violently, as if an invisible giant hand was stirring the mountain frantically, turning all stationary objects into frantic dancers.

The mountain peaks were shaking and trembling, boulders were falling, dust was flying, and it looked like a collapse. The already hot and smelly air was filled with the smell of dust and rocks.

The tumbling boulders smashed onto the ground in an instant, piling up layer upon layer, causing landslides. In a short period of time, they sealed the door with the hole tightly, making it difficult to find the entrance!
Cangying coughed twice, but suddenly felt something tugging at her sleeve.

When he lowered his eyes, he saw that it was a bandage of Shi Qing!
The bandage tied up an unconscious man, who was the disciple from Liaoyue Valley whom Shi Qing had just rescued!

However, Shi Qing is not here, she is still in the cave!

They must have used a belt to send the person out before the gate was blocked by the huge rock!

"Junior Sister Cang, do you still have the teleportation talisman?!" Shen Yunying asked anxiously.

The teleportation talisman is the best among all talismans, and most disciples can only be allocated two.

Cangying shook her head: "No more, I've used mine up too."

This is equivalent to blocking all the roads in and out of the cave!

At the same time, a long roar suddenly came from the center of the battlefield!
The Flamingo seemed to have sensed something, and it also broke out of the ground in the center of the battlefield and swooped over here!

　Here I come!! Good night everyone! ~~~
