Chapter 20 The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

A golden ball of air rolled in the palm of the young master of the Southern Saint Sect, as if Ye Ling would die if he answered a word wrong!

In addition to He Jingsheng and the other four, and a team of inner disciples of the Southern Saint Sect, there were also a dozen cultivators from the early to middle stages of Qi training. They did not have the jade cards of the sect representing their identities. They were obviously casual cultivators nearby. They came here to kill the monster crocodile and earn spirit stones. It seemed that they were also threatened by the young master of the Southern Saint Sect and gathered here. Seeing the momentum of the young master of the Southern Saint Sect, everyone couldn't help but worry about Ye Ling, and their hearts were in their throats.

Unexpectedly, Ye Ling looked very calm, staring directly at the young master of the Southern Saint Sect, and said calmly: "Oh! So the young master is talking about the two of them. They are disciples of your sect, and have nothing to do with me. How can I know where they went? The young master should ask his fellow disciples."

The second-level top-grade water-hiding talisman held in Ye Ling's palm gradually seeped out cold sweat. Facing such a strong man, he really had no confidence.

The only chance to turn the tables is to quickly hide in the water when he attacks, and maybe avoid his thundering attack, so that there is a chance to take out a large number of top-grade tooth-leaf vine seeds from the storage bag to fight back!

This is exactly why Ye Ling looked directly into the eyes of the young master of the Southern Saint Sect: first, he could tell a lie with confidence, as if it were true; second, he could judge the murderous intent from his eyes and take action in advance!

The young master of the Southern Saint Sect could not see any clues in Ye Ling's calm expression, and could not help but frowned.

Killing Ye Ling was a trivial matter in his eyes. Now there were more important things to do. It was the time to use people. Killing him would inevitably make everyone feel cold.

So the young master of the Southern Saint Sect put away the golden light ball rolling in his hand, and snorted with disdain: "You are just an ant cultivator! I don't think you have the ability to do anything to my subordinates. Go! Lead the way with them."

Ye Ling still held the second-level top-grade water concealment talisman in his palm. On the surface, he responded, but he was always on guard in his heart.

Lead the way? Ye Ling turned his eyes to the dozen or so casual cultivators and Su Qin, He Jingsheng and others.

The inner disciples of the Southern Saint Sect who were in the middle stage of Qi training shouted impatiently: "Go into the cave quickly! What are you standing there for? Our young master has ordered that if there are treasures in the cave, everyone will be rewarded!"

Everyone showed a reluctant look on their faces. They all took out their magic tools and stared at the cave nervously. No one was willing to go in front. The young master of the Southern Saint Sect led his team of powerful inner disciples to escort the team behind and kept urging them. Finally, some casual cultivators mustered up the courage to step into the cave.

When Ye Ling saw this situation, he instantly understood the intention of the young master of the Southern Saint Sect. It turned out that the team of the Southern Saint Sect forcibly summoned the low-level cultivators who had been training around the gathering place of the second-level demon crocodiles in order to explore this extremely deep cave, and opened the way for them to explore as cannon fodder.

Ye Ling exchanged glances with He Jingsheng, Suqin and others, and did not speak. They walked together at the same time and sandwiched between the team of casual cultivators.

Suqin looked at Ye Ling with an apologetic and questioning look. Ye Ling just smiled faintly, his eyes showing calmness and determination, which comforted Suqin a little.

"Ah!"

A shrill scream came from the front, and everyone was shocked and stepped back involuntarily.

"It's a second-level demon crocodile! Run! There is more than one inside!"

Everyone was in chaos and shouted.

The young master of the Southern Saint Sect had a sullen face and shouted in a deep voice: "What are you panicking about! Aren't they just a few second-level demon crocodiles? Get out of my way!"

The casual cultivators and Ye Ling and others in front of them split to the left and right. The young master of the Southern Saint Sect still stayed at the back and only sent his men to destroy the demon crocodiles.

A team of powerful Southern Saint Sect members above the fifth level of Qi training rushed forward, and saw several second-level top-grade magic weapons waving and flashing light, and the demon crocodiles blocking the way were killed one after another.

Ye Ling was secretly shocked: After all, they are cultivators above the fifth level of Qi training! The strength is much stronger. If He Jingsheng and his men were to kill the demon crocodiles, they would probably not be able to kill even one in half a day.

The young master of the Southern Saint Sect gave another order: "The disciples of our sect retreat, and the independent cultivators continue to clear the way! Those in the middle stage of Qi training should be on guard in front, and those in the early stage of Qi training should be at the back. If you encounter a demon crocodile, just help the disciples of our sect to kill it. You will naturally benefit after finding the treasure. If you delay and refuse to clear the way, you will be killed without mercy!"

Ye Ling suppressed his anger and thought to himself: "What a rude young master of the Southern Saint Sect! He treats independent cultivators and other sects' minor cultivators as slaves. Such a person deserves to die! He also makes empty promises. Some benefits make people laugh! I have heard that the Southern Saint Sect is tyrannical and domineering. His father, Sect Master Tang Xiong, has the ninth-level foundation-building cultivation and is the strongest among the sects around Fengqiao Town. Behind him, the Southern Saint Sect Young Sect Master Tang, relying on his father's momentum, is even more arrogant! "

In Baicao Hall in Fengqiao Town, Ye Ling had experienced the Young Sect Master Tang once. This guy paid great attention to his identity and image as a young sect master in front of outsiders, but secretly sent his men to assassinate a low-level cultivator. Now in the depths of Changxi Plain, this guy is even more unscrupulous, as if the sky is the king and he is the second king, treating human life as grass! Relying on his strong strength and strong backing, he is rampant and oppresses the young cultivators.

How can Ye Ling not be angry with all these things? Looking at the scattered cultivators, they all have indignation on their faces, but they are all hindered by the strength of the Southern Saint Sect team and dare not speak out.

"Don't think that you are in the late stage of Qi training, and your lackeys are also guys in the fifth or sixth level of Qi training. But in this long and narrow cave, Ye has the advantage of the terrain and there are plenty of opportunities! Today, I will teach you a lesson!"

Ye Ling secretly calculated in his heart, and immersed himself in the Immortal Mansion Jade Pendant, planted and harvested a large number of second-level top-grade toothed leaf vine seeds. It would be more than enough to touch the back later and use the winding technique to block the cave. All he had to do was to see the opportunity. Work, there is always an opportunity!

What worries Ye Ling most now is the safety of Zishan, Suqin and other friends. Under the powerful spiritual surveillance of the Southern Saint Sect Master Tang Shao, he could neither use his spiritual consciousness to communicate, nor speak quietly, nor even gesture. Ye Ling could only wait for the opportunity quietly, hoping that everyone would be here as soon as possible. Some treasures or weird things were found in the cave, which attracted Young Master Tang to come forward.

Everyone marched deeper into the cave and found traces of the second-order demon crocodile one after another. They had to fight hard all the way. Fortunately, it went smoothly and there were no major casualties. The casual cultivators who opened the way in front also relaxed their vigilance.

"Isn't it just a monster crocodile cave? What treasures can be found here?"

"Exactly! Mr. Tang, I think we should leave early! There is only the smell of the demon crocodile inside, and there is nothing to explore."

The young master of Nansheng Sect was used to being arrogant and insisted on having his own way. He said displeasedly: "Hey! I am happy, but I have to see what happens! Which one of you dares to run away?"

Everyone had no choice but to move forward to clear the way.

A group of inner disciples from the Nansheng Sect knew very well the temper of the young sect master and could only follow him. They wished they could flatter and show off more in front of the young sect master, so they showed off their power and shouted: "Quickly leave! Our young sect master How dare you not listen to my orders? You are so tired of living!"

It was getting darker and darker in the depths of the cave, and the casual cultivators in front could only reflect the dim light of the magic weapon as they moved forward. Later, people discovered that the demon crocodile was no longer found inside, and it seemed unusually quiet.

Not long after leaving, Ye Ling's eyes flashed invisibly, because he smelled a fishy smell that was stronger than before!

"There must be something terrible inside! The aura seems to be extraordinary, so don't go to the front!"

Thinking of this, Ye Ling slowed down and accidentally touched Su Qin, He Jingsheng and others, and secretly winked.

Several of them also felt that something was not good, so they all slowed down and gathered together, waiting for an opportunity.

"Look! There's a big cave ahead! It's really open!" Some casual cultivator shouted in surprise and joy, completely forgetting the danger and fear.

Some casual cultivators who relaxed their vigilance rushed forward curiously, and there were even powerful inner disciples of the Nansheng Sect who, relying on the strength of their numbers and their unequivocal strength, also rushed into the large cave to hunt for treasures!

boom!

There was a sound like the sky was shattering and the earth was shattering, and the gravel and soil on the cave wall were falling one after another.

Immediately afterwards, there were continuous screams!

"It's the Demon Crocodile King! It's actually the third level! Run!"

There were a few surviving casual cultivators who were exploring the cave, their faces turned pale with shock, and they quickly backed away.

"You're not even allowed to retreat! Isn't it just the first level three demon crocodile king? With so many people, why are you afraid that you can't hunt it down?"

The young master of Nansheng Sect shouted excitedly. He did not expect to find a higher-level third-level demon crocodile king in this gathering place of second-level demon crocodiles! If he can be killed, all the credit will go to himself, and if he shows his face, the whole sect will look at him with admiration!

But no one seemed willing to listen to him. Even the inner disciples of the Nansheng Sect he brought with him had a look of horror on their faces when they exited:

"Young Sect Master, it looks like the situation is not good! The third-level demon crocodile king has a powerful ground-breaking technique, and everyone who comes close will be stunned! I guess this beast can also use water arrows, and its power must be huge! Let's retreat!"

Before he could finish his words, another scream rang out from the cave. Some random cultivator had become the target of the Demon Crocodile King again!

The cultivators outside the cave were so frightened that they couldn't care less about the young master of the Nansheng Sect shouting to stop, and dispersed in a noisy manner, running away without risking their lives.

"Good opportunity! Escape quickly!"

Ye Ling's eyes sternly pushed Meng Chang, who was still stunned, and ordered the four of them to follow the remaining casual cultivators and run out of the cave in a hurry.

Ye Ling ran halfway, but slowed down and fell behind everyone. He carefully paid attention to the movement behind him, but there was no sound of footsteps anymore!

Turning the corner, Ye Ling pinched the second-level top-grade water hidden talisman and a large number of toothed leaf vine seeds, and quietly looked inside.

In the depths of the cave, no one ran out. Instead, there were shouts and shouts of fighting skills; there was also the sound of magic weapons hitting the cave wall; the biggest noise was that the Demon Crocodile King inside seemed to be angered. , the loud and endless sound of cracking the ground!

"That's right! Everyone else has run away, leaving only the young sect master of Nansheng Sect leading his group of inner disciples! He must still be unwilling to use their team's strength to deal with Qi Lian Jiu The peak level three demon crocodile king!”

Ye Ling's eyes lit up! At this moment, it is a good opportunity to block the monster crocodile hole!

"In case they kill the powerful Demon Crocodile King, even if I use the entanglement technique to create the best toothed leaf vines to block the demon crocodile cave, it seems that there is no threat to them. They will eventually burn or cut off the toothed leaf vines to get out. . Well! Just do it! Let them all die!"

Ye Ling's eyes flashed with murderous intent! I re-planned it in my mind like a flash of lightning, and I already had an idea.
