Chapter 203 Bee-tailed Bird

The underground passage was only more than ten meters long. Soon, everyone reached the end and entered a square cellar.

It was empty inside, except for a stone door standing in the center. The stone door was carved with lifelike flowers, birds, fish and insects. There was no fluctuation in spiritual power, as if it were just a simple picture.

On both sides of the stone door, two oil lamps emitting cyan light were hung, illuminating the entire cellar.

The moment Xu Mu entered, an inexplicable chill grew in his heart.

The woman stood in front of the stone door, kneading the magic formula with her hands, and then a terrifying coercion emanated from her body.

hiss!

Several people felt their bodies suddenly sinking, as if a huge boulder suddenly pressed down on their shoulders. Their muscles tightened and they hurriedly used their spiritual power to resist.

The intensity of this coercion far exceeds that of the Nascent Soul stage, and has probably reached the level of the Divine Transformation stage.

It's just that Xu Mu has never seen a strong person in the divine transformation stage, so he can't be completely sure.

The only thing that was certain was that if the other party wanted to kill a few of them, one finger would be enough.

You are so strong and proficient in puppetry. If you don't go in yourself, you let a few of us go in instead?

If there is nothing fishy here, even a fool would not believe it!

The six people were obviously not fools, and they should all have realized it, but no one was smart enough to ask.

Rumble!

The woman's spell penetrated the stone door, and the patterned stone door made a rumbling sound and slowly opened, revealing a gray space.

Compared to the cellar where they were, the light in the space was much brighter, like the day before sunrise.

The space is filled with flowers, plants and trees, and there are mountains and waterfalls in the distance. It doesn't look much different from ordinary mountains.

The only difference is probably that there are strands of black mist floating everywhere inside, changing into various shapes under the constant blowing of the mountain wind.

Whoosh!

The moment the stone door opened, there happened to be a cloud of black mist floating towards here, passing through the stone door and filling into the cellar.

The originally cold cellar suddenly became three points colder.

The woman didn't stop him and allowed the black mist to fill the cellar.

Buzz!

Facing the drifting black mist, the high-level robes worn by Xu Mu and others reacted naturally and emitted a spiritual light that was like substance, blocking out the black mist.

Crackling!

The power of thunder in Xu Mu's body, as if being stimulated, suddenly burst out with a burst of purple lightning, instantly obliterating the approaching black mist.

This instinctive reaction was so fast that even Xu Mu had no time to stop it.

Being able to attract such a reaction as the power of thunder, it is not difficult to guess that these black mist should be the evil and evil aura mentioned by the woman.

"Huh?"

Sensing the aura of thunder, except for the woman, the other five masked people looked towards him.

"My fellow Taoist actually practices thunder-based skills, which is really enviable!" the purple-faced fat man said with a smile.

The power of thunder naturally restrains evil and evil spirits. If nothing else happens, it will definitely have many advantages in the next actions.

Although the other people did not speak, there was a hint of envy in their eyes.

"I've just mastered a little bit of it next time. Fellow Taoist, thank you."

Naturally, Xu Mu would not brag at this time. Although the people were separated in the early stage, after they reunited later, it would be troublesome if a few people used the power of thunder as an excuse to force him to take the lead.

"Fellow Taoist is being humble, I think..."

The fat man in the purple mask was interrupted by a woman before he finished speaking.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry in. As long as you complete what I told you, you will not only get your original things back, but you will also get a reward that will definitely satisfy you!"

The corners of the woman's mouth raised, revealing a smile.

Only a ghost can believe it!

The six people were secretly complaining, but no one dared to speak out or even show it.

"It is an honor for the juniors to serve for the seniors!"

After the fat man in the purple mask finished flattering him, he took the initiative to walk towards the gray space.

But before entering, he first applied several layers of defensive spells to himself, and at the same time took out a small silver shield.

Judging from the aura emitting from the shield, it must be a magic weapon, and it has reached the ninth level.

Xu Mu's brows couldn't help but jump.

Being able to use ninth-level magic weapons, this purple-faced fat man's strength is definitely not that weak.

Possibly even the strongest among them all.

There was also a hint of fear in the eyes of the other four people.

It can also be seen from this point that none of the four of them is in the Nascent Soul stage, otherwise they would not be taboo about a ninth-level magic weapon.

Of course, if there's a movie star mixed in, there's nothing anyone can do.

After the silver shield was released by the purple-faced fat man, it quickly expanded until it reached the size of a basin before stopping, floating in front of him, blocking his vitals.

Then the fat man in the purple mask took out a few more high-level talismans and held them in his hands. After everything was ready, he stepped into the gray space.

The five people watched nervously, but fortunately nothing unusual happened. The fat man in the purple mask successfully passed through the stone door and walked in.

"fine!"

The purple-faced fat man waved to them, and then the five of them each released their body-protecting auras and defensive magic weapons, and walked in one after another.

The six people had just entered, and before they had time to observe the surrounding situation, the stone door behind them rumbled and began to slowly close.

The six people hurriedly looked back when a woman's voice came from outside.

"This passage cannot be opened for a long time. When you return here after completing your mission, I will open it for you again!"

Although several people were very reluctant in their hearts, they did not dare to stop it because they would have the control.

After the stone door slowly closed, the surrounding void twisted like water waves, and the stone door disappeared into thin air in front of the six people like a phantom.

Several people immediately used their spiritual thoughts to check, but could not find any trace of the stone gate, as if it had never appeared before.

Damn it!

Xu Mu couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

This stone gate is probably a special teleportation device. Without the stone gate, it would be impossible for them to leave here with their strength.

The current situation can be described as a desperate situation!

If you don't complete what the other party told you, don't even think about leaving!

"This woman...!"

The female cultivator in the blue mask gritted her teeth angrily, but that was all.

She didn't dare to really insult the other party, but there was a white cat puppet made by the other party lying on her shoulder.

"What should we do next?" The female nun in the blue mask asked first.

The six of them looked at each other, and it was Fatty Zi who spoke first.

"Fellow Taoists, how about we discuss it first and then split up?"

"I don't like to be with others, so I'll just... huh?"

Before the man in the green mask finished speaking, a huffing sound came from the ears of the six people.

A few people looked for the sound and saw a large group of black strange birds flying out of the bushes not far away. They were as dense as dark clouds and swooped in their direction, making a squawking sound.

Most of these strange birds are only the size of a palm, with black feathers. Their wings and heads are similar to ordinary birds, but their bodies are similar to poisonous wasps, with a thin waist, a big belly, and a tail needle.

"It's a beetail! Watch out for its poisonous sting!"

The white cat puppets on the shoulders of the six people spoke almost simultaneously.

"A group of first- and second-level monster beasts, no matter how many there are, how powerful can they be!"

The man in the green mask snorted coldly, kneaded the magic formula with his hand, and instantly condensed the sword energy in the sky, and shot it towards the flying bee-tailed bird.

It was only a first- and second-level monster. No, it should be said to be a ferocious beast. Naturally, it could not be an opponent at the Golden Core stage. Under the sword energy of the blue masked man, thousands of bee-tailed birds were wiped out in just a few strokes.

All was gone, turned into pieces of corpses on the ground.

However, the man in the green mask who showed off his power not only did not show joy in his eyes, he couldn't help but cursed in a low voice, then took out a high-grade spiritual stone and absorbed all the spiritual energy in it.

The white cat puppet spoke again: "The spiritual energy here has long been fused with the evil energy. With your cultivation level, it cannot be changed at all, so it is better to use the spiritual energy in your body sparingly!"

Everyone immediately understood why the man in the cyan mask had such a reaction.
