I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

But looking at Luo Bing, he looked calm and didn't move at all. He turned around and went back inside, not forgetting to call on everyone to continue flying down.

Even though they seemed to be reaching the bottom of the pit, they actually continued flying downwards for quite some time before finally landing on the ground.

The ground was covered with fallen leaves, and was very soft to step on.

Xu Guizhi and everyone else found some footprints here, extending towards a wind vent.

Luo Bing put away her sword and guided everyone to follow the footprints.

"My fellow disciples, this is where I hid before. It is very secretive and ordinary spirit beasts and monsters dare not approach. It is very safe. Once you have repaired, you can find a way out."

Everyone was tired and had long wanted to find a place to rest. Now that there was such a good place, they naturally did not hesitate and followed Luo Bing.

Xu Guizhi pulled Zhou Saiguan and quietly pointed to a place not far away. There was a white object hidden under the fallen leaves, but it could be seen that it was a human skull.

The skull was white and leaning askew.

Zhou Saiguan smiled slightly, "Junior Brother Xu probably doesn't travel often. People often visit places like this for the Lingzhi herb. You know, ordinary people can get rich if they find one or two. But these places are often steep and dangerous, and there are countless people who have fallen to their deaths. So you can often see human corpses in places like this, don't panic."

Seeing that Xu Guizhi was making a fuss, Zhou Saiguan felt that this Junior Brother Xu was very naive and couldn't help but take better care of him.

In order not to alert the enemy and see what Luo Bing was going to do, Xu Guizhi could only give up in silence, fall behind the team and wait and see what would happen.

After walking a short distance, we arrived at the wind outlet.

This is a cave that is three people wide and two people high. Looking inside from the outside, you can see the faint light of stars. The cave is full of spiritual energy and is a perfect place for retreat.

Everyone expressed their gratitude, and Luo Bing took the lead and led everyone in.

The place at the bottom of the pit without sunlight was very cold, and the injured disciples who had not yet recovered gathered around Luo Bing and asked questions.

Luo Bing was very patient and answered them one by one.

After walking for a while, Xu Guizhi suddenly felt that the people walking in front of him paused.

It's like it's stuck.

It only takes a moment.

But Xu Guizhi captured it keenly.

It wasn't just one person who paused, but everyone.

Xu Gui was startled and walked forward cautiously, walking side by side with Zhou Saiguan.

But Xu Guizhi didn't feel anything unusual.

Luo Bing, who was talking excitedly just now, now stopped talking.

There were no disciples coming out to meet them.

There was silence in the corridor.

There was not even the sound of breathing.

Everyone moved forward in an orderly manner like puppets.

Xu Guizhi tried his best to hold Zhou Saiguan, but Zhou Saiguan's feet were out of control. Even when Xu Guizhi pressed him against the wall, his feet still struggled forward as if they had consciousness.

With no other options, Xu Guizhi pulled the vines nearby and tied Zhou Saiguan to the wall.

After doing all this, the people walking in front turned the corner and disappeared.

Xu Guizhi sighed.

Just out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's lair, I don't know what kind of thing lives in there that can control these monks without even meeting them.

Fortunately, there is only one path in this corridor, and Xu Guizhi put his arm that had crawled over in Zhou Saiguan's arms.

"Brother Zhou, thank you for taking care of it. I'll go take a look ahead."

Xu Guizhi turned a corner and walked forward along the corridor. In less than half an incense stick of time, he reached the end.

At the end is a large cave with several wind vents on the top. The vents are neither big nor small, about the thickness of a wooden barrel. The sunlight shines in from the vents, illuminating the large cave.

Xu Guizhi looked down, ignoring the wind vents, and saw a suspended tumor in the middle of the cave.

It is not accurate to call it a tumor. There are many black filaments attached to it, which are densely wrapped around the tumor like a spider web.

Several thick branches dangled from the tumor, extending downward like vines to the four walls of the cave. The four walls of the cave were densely covered with those black branch-like objects, and it was even unclear whether they grew from the tumor or the black branches squeezed out from the wall.

In short, it is shocking to look at!

Xu Guizhi noticed that a part of the wall was exposed, and was surprised to find that there were countless spirit stones hidden there. The branches were squirming like hungry babies, sucking up the spirit stones. After the spirit stones were sucked up, part of the spirit power returned to the tumor along the thick branches, and it was unclear where the other part of the spirit power was transported to.

It turned out to be the case.

This should be a spiritual stone vein.

No one developed it, but this thing was found.

Faced with such a strange scene, no one spoke. Everyone seemed to have their souls taken away, and walked towards the tumor step by step with determination.

Xu Guizhi grabbed a disciple beside him and found that his eyes were shining with joy, as if he had seen something that made him happy. His eyes were fixed and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The same applies when you walk in front of other people.

When I looked at Luo Bing again, I didn't know when he had walked to the tumor and knelt down devoutly.

A dry, ugly, strange hand stretched out from the tumor and touched Luo Bing's head.

"Owner."

"Hahaha, you did a great job. You brought quite a few monks this time."

As he spoke, the tumor trembled, and Xu Guizhi discovered that a skinny and ugly creature, which looked like a spiritual beast but not quite like a spiritual beast, ran from one side of the egg to this side.

Xu Guizhi saw it clearly now.

The spirit beast had long arms and legs, like a big spider, but its face was narrow, its mouth was long and protruding, its eyes were thin slits that could not be seen, and its ears stood straight up, occasionally swaying from side to side, as if it was listening to sounds to determine its location.

Xu Guizhi kicked the stone hard and it fell not far away.

With a few snapping sounds, it rolled to Luo Bing's side.

The spirit beast's ears quickly turned towards Luo Bing, but its eyes looked elsewhere.

"What's the noise?"

"Master, the sound of stones falling to the ground."

The spirit beast seemed to be worried again, and sniffed, "There really is no scent of other cultivators."

Then Luo Bing stood up and walked to it. The thing hooked its finger and drew a piece of silver thread from Luo Bing's forehead.

That was Luo Bing’s memory during this period.

The thing burned Luo Bing's memory and blew a breath of black air towards Luo Bing.

Luo Bing knelt on the ground, as if in great pain. He rolled a few times and then stopped moving. After a while, he stood up as if nothing had happened and stretched his muscles. He looked the same as when Xu Guizhi first saw him.

But he could not see Xu Guizhi and the others at this time. He walked straight past them, without looking sideways, with clear eyes, muttering, "It's not safe here. Please follow me to a hidden place to rest for a while..."

Seeing Luo Bing walking out without hesitation, Xu Guizhi knew that she must have tricked innocent monks here again like before, so he followed Luo Bing quietly.

After walking a distance, Xu Guizhi knocked Luo Bing unconscious, tied her to Zhou Saiguan, and then returned again.

The remaining people lined up spontaneously and walked to the tree step by step.

Xu Guizhi arrived a little late, and two disciples had already been wrapped in black silk and hung up by the spirit beast.

Looking upwards, Xu Guizhi was shocked. He hadn't noticed it before, but this closer look was amazing.

There were many wrapped monks hanging above his head. Some of their skulls had been opened, revealing a dark hole with nothing inside. Some of their skulls were half open and half closed, presumably because they had been half eaten.
