Chapter 37 Stone Statue
Hua Ruo'an looked at the entrance of the cave, "Manager Yuan is still the same as before, acting vigorously and resolutely, and doing everything personally. Brother Shen, don't worry, nothing will happen."
Shen Baili nodded slightly, "But that evil cultivator...well, I'm still a little worried."
The two looked nervous and kept staring at the entrance of the cave, occasionally chatting for a few words.
Zhou Shu sat on the flying boat, listening and thinking quietly without saying a word.
Less than half an hour passed before Yuan Li walked out of the cave, his expression slightly solemn.
Seeing that Yuan Li was safe and sound, Shen Baili was overjoyed and rushed to greet him, "Manager Yuan, are you okay? How are you?"
Yuan Li shook his head slightly, "Let him escape."
"Ah? Didn't you see anyone coming out?"
Shen Baili and Hua Ruo'an were a little stunned. Yuan Li was already a cultivator in the late stage of the Pulse Condensation Realm and could make every move without missing a beat. However, it was incredible that he would miss this time when trying to catch a turtle in a jar.
"There is another exit to the cave."
Yuan Li said slowly, "The man's escaping method was very mysterious. He managed to hit me twice with Ye Li Shuo, but he still escaped."
Hearing this, Shen Baili suddenly showed a bit of relief, "There is no need to think too much about the steward. The evil cultivator has already been hit by the steward Ye Lisuo. Even if he escapes, it will be useless. He will die sooner or later. Don't worry."
Hua Ruo'an nodded in agreement, "Ye Lisuo, who is in charge of Yuan's affairs, specializes in breaking the sea of qi. He was hit twice. Even gods can't save him."
"If the opponent was not an evil cultivator, I would not use such methods. To deal with evil cultivators, I will do my best to eliminate evil."
Yuan Li waved his hand, "I have destroyed the fire refining formation. Shen Baili, go rescue people and bring all the casual cultivators back to the flying boat."
He was a little depressed. The masked grotto master was only an early-stage practitioner of the Pulse Condensation Realm, but during the battle, various weird secret techniques emerged one after another. He could even use other masked cultivators as suicide bombs, and he also had a shielding consciousness. He could no longer detect traces of the magic weapon with his spiritual sense half a mile away, and there was nothing he could do if he allowed it to escape.
He has experienced countless battles. Although this fight was short, it gave him a very different feeling. Compared with other evil cultivators, this cave owner is much weirder. I am afraid that Ye Lisuo may not be able to truly I always feel a little uneasy because I can't see the corpse with my own eyes.
Yuan Li immediately sat down cross-legged. A fierce battle consumed a lot of his spiritual power and consciousness, and he needed time to rest.
Zhou Shu took a step forward and said, "I'll go and do my best."
Yuan Li glanced at him and said calmly, "You can do whatever you want, but don't waste time."
Following Shen Baili, Zhou Shu rushed into the cave.
Of course, he didn't go into the cave to save people and remove the power of the Eclipse Pill. Only Shen Baili, who knew the elixir, could do it. He couldn't help at all. He just wanted to explore the previous stone chamber and find some rewards. If the evil cultivators have been here for many days, they should have a lot of savings.
Yuan Li may not like those things, but they are very useful to him.
Yuan Li naturally understood what he was thinking, but if he acquiesced in Zhou Shu's entry, he wouldn't care about it.
Hua Ruo'an and Shen Baili also tacitly understood that this was a reward for Zhou Shu, but if Zhou Shu didn't mention it, it would be nothing, and it would be missed. However, they did not expect that Zhou Shu had already thought of this.
Hua Ruo'an watched Zhou Shu leave and thought to himself, "This kid is so experienced in doing things, which is not suitable for his age at all. I don't know how the people behind him taught him..."
Zhou Shu ran towards the left passage that he had visited before.
Since Yuan Li destroyed the formation, the formations in those stone chambers must not have been left. He approached the stone chamber, and sure enough, there were no formations blocking him and he entered directly.
Looking around, the stone room was littered with many debris, all of which were found from the casual cultivators.
After a few casual glances, Zhou Shu found his things, took nothing else, and left immediately.
In the second stone room, there were many unpolished ores piled up. After looking at them for a while, I couldn't figure out what the ores were, and the storage bag couldn't fit them in, so I had to leave.
The third stone room made his eyes light up.
This should be the warehouse of those evil cultivators. There are more than a dozen wooden racks, elixirs, spiritual stones, and even many magic weapons.
But after taking a closer look, I was a little disappointed. They were all very low-level things. The spiritual stones were basically low-level. The elixirs were not as good as those given out every day by the Wuhuang Sect. The magic weapons were basically not high-level, similar to those in the mortal world.
Divine weapons are mostly used to win with sharpness, and there is no spiritual power array.
After carefully checking for a while, Zhou Shu picked out two magic weapons, several bottles of elixirs, and about sixty middle-grade spiritual stones, then turned and left.
On the flying boat outside the cave, Yuan Li nodded lightly, "This kid is quite sensible."
His spiritual consciousness was powerful enough to reach a distance of two miles. Most of the scenes in the cave were vividly experienced in his mind, and Zhou Shu's every move was also visible before his eyes.
Letting Zhou Shu go to the cave is a test for him. If Zhou Shu is greedy and takes everything, not only will he not give Zhou Shu a reward, but he will also take back most of what Zhou Shu has received now.
At this time, Zhou Shu finally passed.
Zhou Shu came out of the stone room and looked towards the formation. The originally hard altar had been broken into a hundred and eighty pieces, and the soul-drawing lamps had also been crushed into powder and scattered everywhere. I really don’t know how powerful it was.
It's really shocking to have such a result.
He clicked his tongue and returned to the cave.
He did not enter the secret room of the grotto owner. There were probably many mechanisms there, which posed a considerable threat. Moreover, even if there were some items, they were probably taken or destroyed by Yuan Li.
His eyes stayed on the stone statue in the cave.
The eyes of the stone statue are always emitting a faint light. Could it be a treasure?
After thinking for a while, he took off the mask of the stone statue.
His body suddenly shook, and he was stunned. He stared at the stone statue with some disbelief.
"This stone statue is the owner of the grotto. Do you know him?"
Yuan Li noticed Zhou Shu's actions and used his spiritual consciousness to transmit the message from a distance away.
Zhou Shu shook his head and pretended to be calm and said, "I don't know him. I just didn't expect him to live such an upright life. He looks upright, solemn and majestic. He doesn't look like an evil cultivator who does many evil things at all. I find it very strange."
"Oh, faces cannot represent people's hearts. Practitioners like this must be even more careful."
Yuan Li finished his message transmission and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
Zhou Shu nodded thoughtfully, looked no further, turned and walked towards the cave where the casual cultivators were imprisoned.
At this time, the cave was filled with a thick layer of white mist, and the aroma of medicine was fragrant.
Shen Baili was using the Xiaoyunyu Jue to activate the medicinal power and rain down an antidote to revive these casual cultivators who had been fascinated by the Eclipse Pill.
Zhou Shu couldn't help but praise, "Deacon Shen, I really admire this good method."
Shen Baili smiled slightly and said, "Haha, Brother Zhou deserves the award."
Drops of raindrops fell on the bodies of many casual cultivators in the mist. After a while, some of the casual cultivators gradually woke up.
"Ah, why am I here?"
"What's going on? I remember I was going up the mountain to collect spiritual grass?"
Many casual cultivators took a lot of Eclipse Pills and were unconscious for too long. Their consciousness was still unclear and they couldn't even remember what happened.
"The bucket is still there. If it is gone, the master will scold me to death."
You Jing, who looked confused, got up, hugged the bucket, and looked around, "Senior Brother Zhou, are you there? Are you okay?"
Zhou Shu walked over and said, "Yes."
"Where is the cultivator who captured us? Where is this place?" You Jing's expression was still very nervous, as if he remembered the horror of being dominated before.
"I'll tell you later," Zhou Shu smiled, "Go out first."
