Chapter 216: Insect Nest

The bottom of the cave has been cleaned up, and even the ground has been baked by Lu Ye's fire dragon technique.

A few ropes hang down from above, and those monks who are not high in cultivation use the ropes to climb down. Of course, the main purpose is to facilitate escape...

Teams held torches and headed for the depths of the wormhole.

It was the first time for Jade Blood Sect to deal with the bug swarm, so there are two main tasks right now, one is to find the location of the bug nest, as long as the bug nest is found, the rest will be easy to handle.

Another is to explore the underground environment and map the underground space.

The bug swarm will not be just this time, it will appear next time, but the location of the bug nest will definitely change. Now spend more energy to draw a map, and it will save a lot of time and effort if you have a map reference next time.

Lu Ye discovered it when he came down before. The underground is connected in all directions, and there are many forks, almost comparable to the mine veins in Xieyue Valley. I don't know how such a complicated terrain was formed.

To explore such a complex environment, there must be fewer people.

Lu Ye was sincerely grateful that after the Lingxi garrison battle, he had recruited many disciples and casual cultivators attached to the garrison, otherwise there would be no one available now.

Suddenly remembered, Senior Sister Shuiyuan mentioned before that since the Jade Blood Sect has already opened the door to recruit disciples, it should be opened up, and Lu Ye should try to recruit disciples and casual practitioners as much as possible. This has something to do with the future development of the sect.

Looking at it now, Senior Sister Shuiyuan must have considered the bug swarm before giving Lu Ye such advice.

Lu Ye mobilized his spiritual power again, and built a huge gathering spirit pattern here, which will become the place where the registered disciples and casual practitioners heal and recover.

Huaci and others will also stay here.

After doing this, Lu Ye did not leave in a hurry, but recovered for a while, refined a few elixir to ensure that his spiritual power was sufficient, and then got up and went to the expert.

Along the way, green insect blood was everywhere, and the insect corpses were not seen, and they were all put away.

Soon came to the second fork, Lu Ye chose a random one to go forward.

The further you go, the more forks you encounter.

After burning incense, he came to an uninhabited fork, took out the Panshan knife, and advanced forward while killing insects, searching for the location of insect nests while exploring the terrain.

At this time, in the underground labyrinth extending in all directions, the disciples of the Jade Blood Sect and casual cultivators fought fiercely with the Zerg in one after another.

The further you push in, the bigger the Zerg you encounter, and correspondingly, the stronger the strength. In this way, the disciples will inevitably be injured, and the injured will immediately retreat to the entrance of the cave along the original path, and receive Hua Ci's treatment. At the same time, he took out the map drawn by his team and handed it to Hua Ci.

Huaci is responsible for collecting all the scattered maps and drawing them into a complete underground map.

The progress was fairly smooth. Except for not finding the location of the insect nest, each team had a good harvest. However, as the strength of the encountered insects became stronger and stronger, casualties were inevitable.

The life of a monk is like this, full of dangers everywhere, the companion who only talked happily about wine yesterday, may become a cold corpse today.

A day later, Lu Ye, who was killing all directions in a fork, received a message that the insect nest had been found, and more people would be more efficient!

He turned back immediately, heading back the way he had come.

Half an hour later, under the entrance of the wormhole, Lu Ye returned covered in green blood.

Hua Ci cleaned up the blood stains on his body, and Lu Ye mobilized his spiritual power to evaporate the dampness on his body. Under the imprint of the surrounding torches, he and Hua Ci came to a table together.

There is a map on this table, which is the result of a day's exploration by the seven hundred monks of the Jade Blood Sect.

It can be seen from the map that there are a lot of forks in the underground, and they are winding and winding without any rules at all. Many of the forks are connected to each other.

The map is not complete, and there are many places that have not had time to give feedback and supplement.

Hua Ci pointed at a location: "The insect nest is here, but that place is very dangerous. Now Chen Yu has led the team to rush there, and Hu Po and Yiyi are also there."

Lu Ye looked at the map in front of him intently, and gradually formed a clear route in his mind.

He looked at other routes on the map, and said, "According to what the fourth brother said, the worm's nest is a large underground space. There are many passages connected to this space, and these passages will eventually converge towards the exit, which is our place. Looking at it the other way around, starting from here, no matter which side road you pass through, the final point is also the location of the insect nest!"

So if the entire map is drawn, the lines on the map representing the forks will form a spindle shape. The two ends of the spindle are the exit of the wormhole and the location of the nest.

Right now, most of the spindle has been drawn, representing the advance progress of the Jade Blood Sect monks, but now there is only one line connecting the two ends of the spindle, that is, the line represented by the team that found the worm nest.

Other lines are still advancing, some lines are progressing very slowly because the overall strength is not high, and some are good, almost reaching the underground space where the insect nest is located.

"I'll go to the worm's nest first."

After Lu Ye finished speaking, he turned and went deeper into the wormhole.

On the cave walls along the way, there will be a torch burning at intervals. Almost every monk would always keep a lot of this kind of ordinary lighting in their storage bags, because no one knew when they would use it, so they were always prepared.

His speed was very fast, and within half an hour, he felt the sound of a fierce battle coming from ahead, as well as Amber's roar.

Looking up, I saw a series of rays of light flickering over there, as well as the fierce and cute roar of the girl!

"Seven-layer Zerg, Yinyin stop it!" Chen Yu's voice sounded.

Regarding the division of Zerg's strength, everyone now has a spectrum in their hearts. The so-called seventh-layer Zerg is the Zerg equivalent to a monk at the seventh level.

"She's a girl, Senior Brother Chen Yu, you're going too far! Ah, I'll fight you!"

Lu Ye turned a corner and saw He Xiyin full of energy and blood, holding a large shield of the same height in front of her. In front of her, a praying mantis taller than her swung a praying knife and chopped the shield. There was a knocking sound, every time the knife fell, He Xiyin's body would shake up.

Don't look at He Xiyin's soft and cute appearance, she is actually a self-cultivator!

When Lu Ye knew about this before, he was taken aback. He didn't know how there was so much vitality in this small body.

With her standing against the seven-layer Zerg, Chen Yu, Yiyi and the others naturally let go of their hands and feet, and shot out a series of spells and the power of the imperial weapon, beheading the praying mantis in an instant.

But what followed was one huge Zerg after another.

"Quickly rewind, there are too many!" Chen Yu roared, the movement here obviously alarmed the Zerg in the nest, several seven-layer Zerg, and many six-layer and five-layer Zerg rushed out.

Before Lu Ye came, they had already fought and retreated, and retreated a long distance.

"Physical cultivation can only stand to die, not to die, I'm fine!" He Xiyin gritted her teeth, suddenly her body lightened, and she floated back, "Huh?"

At that moment just now, she felt that someone grabbed her by the collar and threw her away.

Lightly landed, and fixed his eyes, he saw that there was an extra figure in his original position, a fiery red streamer was circulating in the corridor, and the Zerg fell down amidst hissing.

When the long knife attached to the spiritual power fell, the seven-layer Zerg that leaped high and rushed directly broke into two...

"Lu Ye!" Yiyi cried out in surprise.

"Fifth brother!"

A cry came, Lu Ye shook off the blood on the Panshan Knife, nodded slightly: "Kill first!"

With his reinforcements, the situation that was about to collapse was immediately stabilized. Under the streamer of the imperial weapon, the Zergs were killed one by one, and everyone moved forward.

Lu Ye didn't draw any more swords, the imperial weapon was enough, and he even had time to observe Yiyi and Hu Po.

Amber has grown enormously. Since coming to the Jade Blood Sect, she has been eating and drinking, swallowing countless elixir every day, and coming to Lu Ye every now and then to ask for a line of blood on the scales.

There is no intuitive judgment on the strength of Amber today. It is not a monk after all, but its monster aura fluctuates in battle, but it is not inferior to a sixth-level monk. The golden monster energy surrounds the whole body, making it golden. , Majestic, when the tiger's mouth bites down, the hard shell of the Zerg can also be crushed in one bite, and the huge tiger's claw falls, and a dent is immediately formed on the Zerg's body.

As for Yiyi... At first, she wanted to learn medical skills from Senior Sister Shuiyuan, because Lu Ye was often injured, so Yiyi's biggest dream was to become a medical practitioner, so that she could heal Lu Ye anytime, anywhere.

However, the dream is just a dream after all. After being beaten by reality, the dream was shattered. For this reason, Yiyi was sad for several days before.

Later, Senior Sister Shuiyuan saw that she was too depressed, so she suggested that she learn spells from the head teacher. Yiyi didn't expect much at first, but it turned out that this opened the door to a new world...

Lu Ye never asked Yiyi how she was learning spells, but she stayed with the teacher most of the time.

Until now, I saw a series of spells blooming in different ways in Yiyi's hands...

In fact, in private, the head teacher has praised Yiyi's talent in the way of spells more than once, and even speculated that Yiyi should be a Dharma practitioner before turning into a spirit. Many times, the head teacher only taught it two or three times, and Yiyi was able to master the art. The law is cast out.

She is Hu Po's companion spirit, as strong as Hu Po is, she can be as strong as possible, so the strength she is showing at this moment is also equivalent to a sixth-level Dharma cultivator.

And because she is a spirit body, there is no saying that the five elements are biased, so no matter what kind of magic is in the element, she can perform it.

Her biggest problem is the recovery of her own strength. As a spirit body, she cannot swallow the panacea. If she wants to recover, she can only hide in the amber body and refine the qi and blood of the amber.

So the combination of amber and Yiyi, the source of power is amber itself, which will increase the consumption of amber.
