Xiao Wuyou rushed forward after saying this. Since he had the sword energy of his junior master protecting him, he was not afraid of danger.
But Ouyang Jing and others did not know that it was the sword energy protecting their bodies. They only felt that Xiao Wuyou took action in an instant and shattered the spear just now. Now seeing him taking the lead and charging forward, they could not help but feel moved.
"Brother Xiao has such a high level of cultivation, yet he is willing to lead the way and take risks to clear the way for us. I admire you!"
Hearing Ouyang Jing's words, Yang Wei was extremely proud: "That's right, I am the chief of the Absolute Sword Sect, and I am not just boasting!"
The other disciples of the Spirit Beast Manor also had a hint of admiration in their eyes. Although they heard that Xiao Wuyou was very powerful in killing a Nascent Soul demon with a snap of his fingers, the best thing in the world of immortal cultivation is powerful geniuses. It is rare to find someone who is powerful but willing to take risks for them.
Ouyang Jing couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then he said to the disciples of Lingshou Manor seriously: "Everyone, Brother Xiao is leading the team this time because he was entrusted by their master. He is responsible for an important task. He is willing to bring you here to help. You must remember to do your best and don't embarrass him."
"Yes!"
In the distance, Xiao Wuyou dodged in the empty cave. When the little white fox called, he would stop or use his sword energy to protect his body. The spiritual traps, barriers, poison arrays, and hidden arrows in the cave were explored one by one. Every time Xiao Wuyou passed a place, he used the Phoenix Sky Sword to draw shallow marks on the ground. Not long after, he explored a safe path.
He did not rush into anything, but took some time to return along the same route before leading the team out.
"Let's go, I've found a safe way!"
Chapter 39: Two-Way Running
-------------------
Under the leadership of Xiao Wuyou, a group of righteous monks followed the path he had explored before, avoided all traps, and advanced safely into the cave.
Along the way, one could occasionally see broken stones, spears, hidden arrows, and even large areas of venom corrosion that had been cut off by Xiao Wuyou. It was shocking and frightening.
Everyone realized that if the little white fox had not been able to sense the danger and give warnings, and if Xiao Wuyou had not personally led the way, their group would have suffered heavy casualties before they even saw a single monster.
"As expected of Xiao..."
"It's not just me, this little guy also deserves some credit." Xiao Wuyou interrupted Ouyang Jing's routine boasting and raised the little white fox in his hand.
However, the little white fox's fur stood on end, it was shivering, and it looked frightened.
Xiao Wuyou was pleasantly surprised. With the little white fox's reminder, he was able to avoid many traps in advance, saving a lot of sword energy to protect his body.
"Please take care of me from now on." He said politely to the little white fox.
The little white fox grinned and almost couldn't help scratching Xiao Wuyou twice on the spot.
What the hell are you doing here? Why are you guys breaking into this devil's den?
However, thinking back to how Xiao Wuyou had bravely entered various traps and remained unscathed, it consciously drooped its ears and forced a smile.
The fox is under the eaves, enduring!
"Brother Xiao, what you said makes sense. Thank you, little white fox." The Spirit Beast Manor originally regarded monsters as its own kind. The disciples of the Spirit Beast Manor, led by Ouyang Jing, actually bowed to the little white fox seriously.
The little white fox, who was originally very reluctant, was suddenly stunned when he saw this scene.
Are these humans saluting it?
It feels so good...
Xiao Wuyou took advantage of the victory and continued: "I'll take care of the rest of the journey for you as well."
"Ao!" The little fox called out happily and actively stretched out its tail to show Xiao Wuyou the way.
Hehe, even this powerful guy named Xiao Wuyou is asking him to do something, doesn't that mean he's even more powerful? The little white fox thought so and pointed the way even more actively than before.
Xiao Wuyou nodded with satisfaction when he saw it finally took the initiative. Capable and silly, this little thing is really useful!
In this way, every time Xiao Wuyou led the team to walk a distance, he would hold the little white fox to explore the way, and continue to lead the team forward after confirming that it was safe. Later, when the two of them were proficient, they could even find out the location of the trap in advance without triggering it.
There wasn't a single trace of the demon tribe along the way, and just when everyone thought things would continue smoothly, the team had to stop.
In front of them was a huge, deep-sea, thick mountain wall. On the mountain wall were eighteen holes of varying sizes arranged in a disorderly pattern. Moreover, each hole emitted a chilling spiritual energy, which made the monks shudder with fear.
Even without saying it, everyone understood that what was waiting for them ahead was an ambush by the demon tribe.
Yang Wei was the first to analyze: "There are eighteen caves. If you go the wrong way and get lost in them, you might die of starvation or thirst. But if you are caught by the demons, they will surround and annihilate you..."
"Hey, aren't you studying formations? Isn't determining directions the basis of formations? Why are you making such sarcastic remarks!" Ouyang Zhishui said angrily.
Yang Wei rolled his eyes at her.
He spread his hands helplessly: "The cold air here is too heavy, and it is in the deep sea, and the cave itself is eroded by sea water, so even if I..."
"So you're not good enough! Why are you wasting so much time talking!"
Yang Wei's eyebrows twitched, and he asked back: "Don't talk about me. Isn't your Thunder King Tiger also a pet that is good at finding its way by smell? Why don't you come?"
"You're an idiot! The demons have been living in this place for years, and the smell is everywhere. Even the Thunder King Tiger can't be found!" Ouyang Zhishui was choked and started cursing.
"Oh, so you can't do it either?"
Since both true disciples were not good enough, everyone naturally turned their attention to the two chief true disciples.
"Let me do it. Brother Xiao has worked hard along the way. It's time for me to take action." Ouyang Jing had a calm expression on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
The Purple Candle Demon Eye is specialized in perceiving the aura of monsters and beasts, and it is perfect for detecting the locations of monster tribes.
And now is the time for him to show off in front of Xiao Wuyou!
Ouyang Jing suddenly opened his eyes, and purple burning flames emerged from his eyes. In his eyes, the aura of the East Sea demon clan was a thick and clear dark blue, which could not be hidden at all.
As long as they find the demon cave with the heaviest dark blue color, they will be able to find the demon cave with the most monsters entering and exiting in a short period of time. They can then attack the demon cave before the monsters have time to react!
However, when he saw this, Ouyang Jing was dumbfounded.
Why are these eighteen holes all dark blue? Are there demons in all eighteen holes, or are all the holes pointing in the same direction?
"Brother Ouyang, did you gain anything?" Xiao Wuyou asked with concern.
"this......"
Ouyang Jing spoke of his discovery with some embarrassment.
There was a moment of silence among the team. No one dared to express their opinions. This was the other party's territory. If they made a wrong move, they might die here.
Xiao Wuyou was also a little confused. Luck could roughly guide the location of the corresponding child of luck, but finding the way was really beyond his ability.
No one knows what’s inside the cave. If it’s a dead end, it’s fine. But if it’s an endless deep-sea maze and they can’t get out, that would be too tragic.
""
Xiao Wuyou lowered his head and asked the little white fox, praying that the tool fox could bring him good luck: "Do you know the way?"
The little white fox looked at it blankly and blinked.
Xiao Wuyou then remembered that the little white fox probably didn't know how to distinguish the scent of the East China Sea demon clan, and as Ouyang Jing said, there was the scent of demon clan at the entrances of all the caves, so it would be useless for the little white fox to smell it.
So Xiao Wuyou changed the question: "We are going to explore inside next, but we don't know the route. Can you figure out how to get there?"
The little white fox was still blinking blankly, but this time it gently bit Xiao Wu's sleeve.
Although there was no verbal communication, Xiao Wuyou immediately understood what this guy meant.
It is asking what is the right path.
Xiao Wuyou thought about it and whispered in the fox's ear: "It is very likely that there is a road with a spiritual spring."
"A spiritual spring is a harmless spring with rich spiritual energy. You should know that, right?"
Now the little white fox understood. It jumped down from his arms, wagged its big tail, and ran forward happily, chirping as it went straight to an inconspicuous cave entrance.
The righteous monks could not help but feel excited.
"I didn't expect the white fox had such an ability to recognize the road. With it leading the way, these monsters from the East China Sea will surely die!" Ouyang Jing became excited.
Xiao Wuyou was a little conflicted. He hoped that the little white fox could find the spiritual spring and avoid the demon tribe so that he could get all the advantages.
But he didn't expect that if he followed the direction led by the little white fox, he would be safe and sound. Not to mention monsters, there wasn't even a single trap. Even the road surface was smooth and flat, as if it had been built, making it much easier to walk on.
Xiao Wuyou was happy. They had been in the devil's cave for such a long time, but the monsters hadn't made any movement. Maybe they had really wisely hidden themselves?
Chapter 40 Why is Your Excellency Laughing?
---------------------
A few hours ago
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The Righteous Monks are here!"
The monsters were reveling and the demons were dancing wildly.
For so many years, they only dared to hide at the bottom of the sea. When they occasionally went to the road to do business, they did not dare to go too far. They only dared to kill a few passing tourists to satisfy their cravings. But today, they can finally kill to their heart's content!
"Okay!" The Mermaid King was also excited, his eyes turned red, but as a demon king, he was still more rational.
"When they fall into the trap, we will cut off their retreat and kill them swiftly!"
Upon learning that the righteous monks threatened to come and eliminate the monster, the monster tribe of the East China Sea mobilized the entire tribe to build traps overnight in order to maximize the advantage of the geographical location.
After a while, the fish-headed monster who was in charge of surveillance ran back.
"My king, they stepped on the trap!"
"Okay, guys, follow me..."
"but!"
The fish-headed little demon almost broke the mermaid king's waist.
The Mermaid King frowned and asked, "But what?!"
"Uh, they only sent one person to step on the traps, and he rushed all the way in, and he stepped on all the traps!"
The demons looked at each other, unable to understand what was going on.
The traps were all deadly. One person stepped on so many of them. Even if he was the chief disciple, he should have died, right? A chief disciple was killed just to explore the way. Is human life so worthless? !
At this moment, a sneer came from the depths.
The little demons were silent, and only the mermaid king dared to ask: "My lord, our arrangements have been destroyed, why are you laughing?"
"I laugh at the stupidity of the righteous path, the woman's kindness! How can it not be ridiculous for a chief disciple to sacrifice his life for exploring the way?!"
"That's right. We are lucky to get rid of a chief disciple just by using traps." The Mermaid King took the lead in laughing, and all the monsters laughed loudly. There was a burst of happy atmosphere in the depths of the cave.
However, at this time, the fish-headed demon who was delivering the information said with a strange look on his face: "My lord, the person who explored the way is not dead!"
"If he's not dead, he's disabled!"
"No, not only is he not disabled, but he is completely unharmed. That person is holding a furry thing. He can detect any trap in advance. Even if he finally finds the name, there is a strange power around him that can directly smash the trap!"
The Mermaid King widened his eyes, unable to believe it: "Who is that person?"
"The chief disciple of the Absolute Sword Sect, Xiao Wuyou!"
The demons were silent for a while.
The smile on the Mermaid King's face froze. Thinking of those rumors that sounded exaggerated, he felt uneasy.
However, at this moment, another sneer came from the depths.
The Mermaid King hesitated and didn't dare to ask this time.
The being in the deep and dark explained himself this time: "You don't understand why I am laughing? Haha, I am laughing at Xiao Wuyou for being brave but not wise, a sword cultivator, and a sword cultivator. After so many years, he is still a bunch of vulgar people!"
"That guy worked hard to clear the way, but when he got to the depths of the cave, there were eighteen cave entrances. Could he be too busy to handle them all? If they explored one by one, it would take them forever to finish. Anyone with a bit of common sense would not do that."
The vicissitudes of life in the deep and secluded voice were full of certainty: "So they will definitely explore separately!"
The fish-headed little demon opened his mouth but didn't dare to interrupt at this time.
The being in the abyss continued to laugh and said, "Think about it, exploring separately will disperse the fighting power, and the morale of the monks who are separated from him will be shaken when they see that their trusted chief disciple is not there. We should annihilate them first, and then use their corpses to stimulate Xiao Wuyou. This is a method of attacking the heart!"
"Your Excellency is wise!" The Mermaid King was the first to applaud.
"Your Excellency is wise!!!" All the monsters exclaimed in praise.
After the sound of praise faded away, the little fish-headed demon in the corner said weakly: "Actually..."
"Come with me. First kill those who separated from Xiao Wuyou, and throw their bodies to Xiao Wuyou. Then we'll see how this guy can still act like a hero!" The Mermaid King picked up his long sword and was about to leave.
"In fact, they didn't disperse, but just chose a path and walked in!"
The Mermaid King was stunned at first, then laughed loudly: "Isn't that even better? This shows that their leader is an idiot who doesn't even have common sense! There are eighteen holes. How long can they explore them at their speed? Some of them are deep abysses and deep sea mazes. They will die without us taking any action!"
However, the fish-headed demon said awkwardly: "But, they walked directly into that cave that directly connects to our forbidden area."
"Okay! I'll tell you...what did you say?!"
The next second, the Mermaid King picked up the little demon, wishing he could tear his hands apart.
"You said they entered our clan's forbidden area?! What are you doing eating and drinking? Why didn't you stop them?!"
