I can gather experience beads

The aroma from the large cave hits your nose.

Cao Rui gradually felt drowsy.

By circulating his internal energy, he only recovered slightly.

This fragrance obviously contains a special toxin.

It can drive fish crazy and put humans in a state of abnormality.

The fish that jumped onto the shore were still jumping and wriggling madly towards the big cave.

The entire central cave was quickly filled with fish.

There was a rustling sound, and a slight friction sound came from the big cave, as if something terrible was about to come out of it.

"run!"

Cao Rui did not hesitate, turned around and went into the small cave he had come out of before.

At least he had personally confirmed that this cave was safe.

Seeing this, Zhang Xian on the side also followed.

The remaining menial disciples also chose different directions for the caves to escape.

After thinking for a while, the dwarf servant actually chose to follow Cao Rui and hide in the small cave together.

But he was still a step slow.

Cao Rui jumped into the cave and looked back while running.

Then he saw a long tentacle sticking out from the big cave, and the mouthparts on it split open, and it opened its mouth and swallowed the dwarf servant.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Cao Rui broke out in a cold sweat and quickened his pace.

At the same time, Cao Rui quickly used his mind to click on the experience bead of the Water-Stopping Technique.

hum!

hum!

Purple experience points flooded into Cao Rui's mind twice in a row.

The body changed as if it had practiced the Water Stopping Technique tens of millions of times.

Second floor!

the third floor!

Practice successful!

The internal strength in Cao Rui's body began to grow rapidly, and while running he already possessed the skills of seven or eight years.

By stimulating the new internal energy to flow into his legs, Cao Rui's speed doubled!

"No! Save me!"

Zhang Xian’s voice was heard from behind.

Cao Rui turned his head slightly and glanced with his peripheral vision, just in time to see Zhang Xian being swallowed by the tentacles.

Cao Rui ran away in silence.

After swallowing Zhang Xian, the tentacle quickly chased after Cao Rui.

At the critical moment, Cao Rui reached the end of the cave, behind the dry bones.

Cao Rui turned around, took out a dagger and decided to fight the tentacle monster to the death.

But the tentacle monster suddenly stopped in front of the dry bones.

A sharp roar came from the tentacle monster's mouth.

Only then did Cao Rui see the full appearance of the tentacle monster.

The diameter is about 1.5 meters, and the front mouthparts are octagonal.

The long body seems to have no end, which makes people guess that this tentacle is just a part of the body.

Cao Rui's body tensed as he looked directly at the tentacle monster.

It was only a few meters away, and Cao Rui could be defeated if he moved forward a little.

But it began to retreat, speeding up, and disappeared from Cao Rui's sight in a whoosh.

"What kind of monster is this?"

"Monster? Why does it look more like a Cthulhu monster?"

Cao Rui's gaze was fixed on the dry bones of the immortal cultivator in front of him.

"It is highly likely that this monster has a great relationship with this immortal cultivator."

"Otherwise it is hard to explain why the monster just now did not dare to cross this dry bone."

Cao Rui shook his head and refused to guess the relationship between the dry bones and the monster.

"Given the terrifying power of that monster, I'm afraid all the errand disciples outside have been devoured."

"Maybe I'm the only survivor?"

Cao Rui sniffed, "The faint fragrance in the air seems to be beginning to fade."

"Does this mean that the monster has also retreated back to the big cave?"

Cao Rui thought for a moment and looked at Ku Gu: "I'm sorry, Senior."

Cao Rui grabbed the dry bones and placed them in front of him, then walked outside.

Not to mention, the bones of cultivators are different. They are very heavy and not easy to fall apart.

Using the dry bones of the immortal cultivator as a shield in front of him, Cao Rui walked out of the small cave.

Soon, they arrived near the central cave.

Cao Rui carefully leaned out to check.

There is a pile of new bones in the central cave, some from fish and some from humans. They should have been spit out by the monster just now.

As that special fragrance dissipated.

No more fish flocked to the cave river.

Now is a good time to run away.

Cao Rui thought about it, put the dry bones aside, took out the Mingyu Gong and recited it carefully.

......

outside world.

The fish that surged in instantly dispersed quickly after a short while.

Yang Ping witnessed this scene with her own eyes, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of incredible treasure was in the cave below.

Half an hour later.

Still no errand disciple returned.

Yang Ping frowned, put her hand on the hilt of the sword, and had a bad feeling in her heart.

Several hours passed and there was still no movement below.

Elder Wu Qingshu had come to the bow deck again at some point.

"It seems that the degree of danger down there is still beyond our imagination."

"Next time, we have to avoid the special time period when fish gather here, and then send the menial disciples in to investigate."

Yang Ping took a deep breath and asked, "Elder, don't you think this is too unfair to the menial disciples?"

Wu Qingshu smiled and said, "Menial disciples are just consumables. When the Luoshui Gang announced that they were recruiting menial disciples, I wonder how many people would be eager to get in."

"Yang Ping, you are a woman after all. You are too indecisive. You are already a guardian. A superior must have the considerations of a superior."

"The consumables that need to be used should be used decisively."

Yang Ping was speechless.

"Send a few people to guard here, and then go back."

"As ordered."

Yang Ping bowed and turned to look at the calm lake again. Did that group of menial disciples really all stay there?

What is the scene below?

The ship started its return journey, leaving a few gang members to guard nearby, waiting for the next gathering of menial disciples to go down and investigate again.

The gang members stayed near the islands and reefs.

At first, I was a little curious about the gathering of fish under the islands and reefs every two days.

After half a month, I completely lost interest.

Because the news spread in the gang that none of the menial disciples returned last time, it would take time to gather the menial disciples again.

In this way, the island and reef gradually calmed down.

this day.

A young boy's head suddenly popped out from the calm lake surface.

The boy looked for direction and swam quickly in one direction.

The gang members standing around were drinking and playing cards out of boredom and did not notice the young man at all.

Cao Rui swam for a long time and saw a fishing boat, then he grabbed the edge of the boat and got out.

Cao Rui suddenly climbed out of the water and scared the fisherman.

Cao Rui directly put the dagger to the fisherman's neck and said, "Don't say anything, send me to shore."

The fisherman nodded repeatedly.

Rowing the oars, the fishing boat moved closer to the shore.

Cao Rui rummaged around on the fishing boat and changed into a dry set of cloth clothes and cloth shoes.

"The Luoshui Gang probably thought I was dead."

“That’s good. This way I will officially start a new journey as Cao Rui.” Cao Rui looked at the approaching town and whispered in his heart.
