Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2204 Thriller

The blood and energy lingered for a long time, but the poisonous river that was blocked by the blood and energy gradually showed signs of closing.

Suddenly, a figure broke through the blood and flew out. It was Qin Sang.

Qin Sang looked back and saw that the chaos on the battlefield was still continuing. The aftermath of the dragon fish's self-explosion had not dissipated so quickly.

In this battle, he almost risked his life. Although he succeeded in killing the fairy boy, he was seriously injured. The most obvious thing was the Mingshan armor on his body. The armor was not riddled with holes, but it was also covered with cracks and was seriously damaged. It had to be re-refined.

The Thunder Beast Guard was finally hit by the aftermath of the dragon fish's self-explosion and suffered serious injuries. Fortunately, its core is the ball of thunder power in its body. As long as the core is not broken up, its recovery ability is very strong. It does not know what pain is, and its combat power is still there.

The powerful boy's background was indeed very deep. Qin Sang made full preparations, but still almost encountered an accident. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had patiently planned the situation back then, using the Thunder Altar and the Thunder Sacrifice Oath to kill the enemy with one strike, without giving the chief priest a chance to breathe, otherwise the outcome would be unpredictable.

Even after defeating two powerful enemies in a row and successfully defusing the crisis, Qin Sang did not feel relieved.

Liuli has not responded since Qin Sang sent the message. I don’t know what her situation is like.

Qin Sang wanted to capture the fairy boy alive, just in case anything happened to Liuli, he could use him to exchange for hostages. Now the fairy boy is dead, and all he has left is the transparent centipede left by the man in green, and the relics of the two.

The situation was urgent, so Qin Sang swallowed several elixirs in a hurry, suppressed the injuries in his body, and quickly returned along the original route.

While flying, Qin Sang took out the transparent centipede and activated his spiritual sense to investigate.

He originally thought that the transparent centipede was a clone of the man in green, but after checking, he found that it was not just a clone.

There is a consciousness in the transparent centipede, which was sealed by Qin Sang and is sleeping. This consciousness is naturally differentiated from the man in green shirt, but it only has the memory of the man in green shirt before entering the small cave.

It is like a seed. Once the original body is in trouble, the seed will wake up, take root and sprout, and grow into a new man in green. Of course, the spirit insects collected before cannot be reborn. The man in green can only collect spirit insects again and start from scratch. In addition, this secret technique should have other restrictions, otherwise the man in green would definitely put the transparent centipede in the cave.

This person may not be very cautious, and leaving the transparent centipede outside was probably a subconscious act.

If Qin Sang's judgment is true, the transparent centipede should not know what happened in the small cave, but things are unpredictable. If the time comes when it really comes to having to exchange hostages, it cannot be handed over at will.

Qin Sang prepared for the worst and pondered over how to deal with the situation next. After a long period of contemplation, he flicked his fingers and several restrictions were inserted into the body of the transparent centipede.

He had to leave a hidden hand in the green-shirted man's consciousness without being discovered by the other party. It was extremely difficult. He tried many times but was never satisfied, and his expression became more and more solemn.

At the same time, he kept using his secret techniques to try to contact Liuli.

Suddenly, Qin Sang's figure paused slightly, and the secret technique finally responded. He sensed a faint response from Liuli!

After a moment, Qin Sang heard the response clearly, and heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that Liuli had escaped from danger, got rid of the enemy, and was now hiding somewhere in Panlong Cave.

He immediately put away the transparent centipede and flew in the direction indicated by Liuli.

At this time, three people were rushing towards the depths of Panlong Cave. They were the black-robed monk and Fairy Ping.

"It's a pity that we couldn't keep that female cultivator..."

The black-robed monk took off his hood, revealing a pale and thin young man. He looked around, looking for guidance left by his companions, and got closer and closer to the battlefield.

Fairy Ping looked at Xiaoyan and said with a wry smile, "We didn't expect that she would be so bold all by herself. When she saw us, she not only didn't retreat, but also dared to warn us. We were really scared by her..."

It turned out that the two women were blocked by an ice wall before. Due to various concerns, Fairy Ping hesitated and ultimately did not break through the ice wall in the first place.

Fairy Ping knew that Xian Tong and the others had already gathered together to ambush their enemies. So many top warriors seemed to be at a disadvantage, while their enemies still had the energy to issue warnings, which meant that the enemy was stronger and had more people. How could she not be worried?

Besides, she did not have a deep friendship with Xiantong and others, so she pretended to retreat, wanting to wait until she contacted Xiantong and saw the situation clearly before making any decisions.

The black-robed monk trapped in the ice field also had no idea that reinforcements had arrived from outside, which gave Liuli the opportunity to cheat and get away with it.

When Fairy Ping noticed something was wrong and returned, Liuli had already followed Qin Sang's instructions and evacuated the ice field before the power of the talisman faded, and then escaped by relying on the terrain in the cave. When Fairy Ping arrived, the black-robed monk happened to break through the cold storm and saw Fairy Ping and the others, only then did he realize that they had been deceived.

"I was too cautious!" The black-robed monk regretted it.

Talking about the previous battle, he couldn't help but frown, with worry in his expression.

Fairy Ping and her two daughters have not yet signed a contract with the fairy boy, so they should have nothing to do with this matter and naturally cannot be blamed.

Looking back at this battle, he was not willing to fight because he was concerned about Liuli's background. The power displayed by the Emperor's Talisman was also somewhat shocking, which made him dare not act rashly in the cold storm.

Although this move saved his life, he also missed a good opportunity.

Fairy Ping noticed the black-robed monk's worry and asked, "Brother Qi, are you worried about Fellow Daoist Si and the others?"

"Not bad!"

The black-robed monk nodded and said bluntly, "The talisman on that female cultivator must not last forever, but we underestimated the female cultivator, and I'm afraid we also underestimated Master Qin!"

After a pause, the black-robed monk said in a deep voice, "They can easily escape into the ice field together, using the terrain and the magic talisman to force us back. Why do they want to take the risk and act separately?"

"Brother Qi, are you saying that the female cultivator deliberately led Brother Qi away, and Master Qin has a bigger plan?"

Fairy Ping was surprised and said in disbelief, "Brother Qi, you are worrying too much. Isn't Master Qin's cultivation only in the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm? Unless there are helpers hiding here, Fellow Daoist Si and Fellow Daoist Tang are together. Even if the other party has any plans, it will be in vain in the face of absolute strength!"

"We encountered each other by accident. The other party should not have any helpers to ambush..."

A look of hesitation flashed across the black-robed monk's eyes. "Master Qin's strength cannot be measured by his cultivation. I hope I am overthinking it!"

"Master Qin is so powerful," Xiao Yan suddenly said, leaving Fairy Ping and the black-robed monk speechless.

In order to avoid losing the target, the fairy boy and the man in green would use secret techniques to leave hidden marks. Due to the endless chaos in Panlong Cave, the remaining aura would soon disappear, and the marks would exist for a longer time, but some of them would also be dispersed.

The guidance was intermittent, but fortunately they did not deviate from the route. They found their way all the way and arrived at the ancient forbidden area where Qin Sang killed the man in green.

They were completely unaware of the tragedy that had happened before. They passed through the ancient forbidden area and continued to fly forward for a while. The black-robed monk suddenly stopped and asked, "Why is there only Brother Si's mark here?"

Fairy Ping also realized that something was wrong. Ever since leaving the ancient forbidden area, the other mark had been interrupted, leaving only the mark of the fairy boy.

But, looking back, I didn't notice anything unusual along the way.

"Perhaps Brother Tang is held back by something and has no time to do it. Since Brother Si can still leave a mark, it should be fine," Fairy Ping consoled.

The black-robed monk nodded and continued to move forward. Finally, he came to the bank of the Zhuo River and saw a stretch of river water dyed red at a glance.

Sensing the bloody smell emanating from the river water, the black-robed monk suddenly changed color and exclaimed: "This is... the blood of the dragon fish!"

Xiaoyan felt uneasy and quietly hid behind Fairy Ping.

"Is it one of Fellow Daoist Si's companion beasts?"

Fairy Ping also looked extremely solemn.

She didn't know what kind of companion beast the fairy boy had, but she could sense that the bloody smell in the river was likely coming from the fairy boy's companion beast, and all the signs were very unusual!

The black-robed monk had seen the four companion beasts of the fairy boy, and knew that the dragon fish was the most powerful one. Thinking of this, his heart trembled, and the black wings behind him fluttered slightly, transforming into a black phoenix.

None of the three dared to enter the Zhuo River. Fairy Ping's fingertips showed a spiritual light. She took out a piece of white paper, cut it into a paper man, and threw it into the middle of the river.

Black Phoenix and the paper man threw themselves into the riverbed, and gradually, their expressions became more and more serious.

Afterwards, the two men gave orders, ordering Black Phoenix and Paper Man to search upstream and downstream of the Poison River respectively.

No!

The Black Phoenix and the paper man then jumped out of the river again and flew to the other side to search.

still none!

They searched everywhere but still couldn't find any marks or traces. It seemed that all traces ended here and the fairy boy and the man in green had disappeared.

The two looked at each other and could see shock and horror in each other's eyes. Although they were unwilling to believe it, the bloody smell was most likely the remnant of the dragon fish's self-explosion.

What happened to the fairy boy that he did not hesitate to explode the dragon fish?

Compared to other places, the area near the Poison River is very stable. This battle happened not long ago, and the surrounding environment should not have changed drastically. The toxicity of the river water is not enough to make the fairy boy risk his life.

Also, Fellow Daoist Tang, why is there only the scent of dragon fish here?

wrong!

They suddenly realized that the trace of the man in green had disappeared from the ancient forbidden area.

The river is rushing, and the waves are surging.

Looking at the poisonous river, the three of them felt as if they had returned to the ice field, feeling the chill.

"go back!"

The three of them decisively retreated to the ancient forbidden area and searched the area carefully, but found nothing. The man in green was killed in the small cave, and the outside world was not affected. With their cultivation alone, they would not have noticed it even if they were nearby at the time.

This result is undoubtedly even more horrifying.

Are they still alive now? Where did Fellow Daoist Tang go? Why didn't he leave any mark? If Fellow Daoist Tang got into trouble here first, why didn't Fellow Daoist Si run away but continued to chase him, and there was no hint in the mark?

No matter how smart they were, they couldn't imagine what happened at that time, which only aggravated their fear. Qin Sang's image also became extremely mysterious, becoming an indelible shadow.

"Sister Ping," Xiao Yan said timidly, "Let's go out quickly."

"That's right, we can't stay here for long!"

Fairy Ping said decisively.

No matter what the guess is, it is too scary. This place is clearly a den of dragons and tigers. The strength of the three of them will not be much stronger than the two of Xiantong. If the enemy comes back, the outcome will be unpredictable!

The black-robed monk still couldn't believe that the fairy boy and the green-shirted man would be killed by Qin Sang, but facts spoke louder than words, as both of them disappeared without a trace.

They hurried back, not daring to stop halfway, their hearts full of caution, until they saw the cave entrance, they felt like they had seen the light of day again, and their shock finally subsided.

After flying out of the cave, the three of them were silent. They did not leave immediately, but found a hidden place near Panlong Cave, where they hid. Then they summoned the Black Phoenix and the paper man respectively and went back to investigate.

They controlled the Black Phoenix and the paper figurine and carefully returned to the Poison River, and then searched outward from this point. After a fruitless search, they did not give up, and expanded the scope and began to search aimlessly, going as deep as possible into the Panlong Cave, but still found nothing.

Not to mention seeing Qin Sang, there was not even the slightest trace of him, and there was no news from Liuli either.

Fear grew in the hearts of Ping Fairy and the other two. They couldn't imagine how Qin Sang did it. They suspected that Panlong Cave was hiding a great terror. This thought drove them to get away from Panlong Cave as soon as possible!

Moreover, they still have tasks to accomplish from their ancestors and cannot delay for too long.

It was time to leave, and the three of them flew out of their hiding place, all with heavy hearts.

……

On the other side, Qin Sang wandered around in the cave and finally found Liuli.

Liuli hid in a small cave. There was a dilapidated ancient formation at the entrance, which could isolate the aura, resist the impact from the outside, and maintain the peace inside.

Liuli was sitting cross-legged and regulating her breathing when she suddenly woke up and looked outside vigilantly.

A moment later, a figure passed through the ancient formation and appeared at the entrance. Seeing that it was Qin Sang, Liuli's expression relaxed.

"You are hurt?"

"You are hurt?"

The two of them blurted out the words at the same time, then smiled at each other, and the haze in their hearts dissipated.

Qin Sang entered the grotto, sat down in front of Liuli, glanced around, and said, "This is a good place. This formation can still hold. We are not in a hurry to leave. Let's heal here first."

Liuli kept staring at Qin Sang and finally couldn't help asking, "Did you really kill them all?"

She overestimated Qin Sang's strength as much as possible, but she thought that being able to kill the fairy boy was amazing. God knows how surprised she was when she learned of the death of the man in green.

Qin Sang smiled and took out the relics of the two people and the transparent centipede. "This person hasn't really died yet. I should be able to get something out of him."

Liuli nodded. It was very unusual for Xiantong and others to appear here. She didn't know what happened before, which might affect their plans.

"correct!"

Liuli remembered something and took out a skull, saying with some shame, "Thanks to it for blocking the disaster for me, I was able to escape successfully. I wonder if I can recover."

When they parted, Qin Sang gave the corpse-refining Min Zhuo and some thunder talismans to Liuli for self-defense.

The skull was dull and had a crack on the skull that extended all the way to the brow bone, but Qin Sang didn't care. It had already played its due value. (End of this chapter)
