After this sudden turn of events, nearly half of the Liu Clan's people were unable to fight anymore. It could be said that their morale had fallen to the bottom.
"What should we do? Sister Bingqian, look at everyone's current state. Should we still continue forward?" Liu Ningzi frowned as her heart was somewhat restless.
"Of course we should continue. If we can't handle this setback, then wouldn't we be falling into someone else's trap?" Liu Bingqian's charming face flashed with a resolute expression.
She turned her head and swept a glance at the people lying on the ground: "And you guys, stop pretending to be dead. I clearly saw who was involved in the explosion just now."
"Miss Bing, we are not pretending to be dead … …" The people lying on the ground originally wanted to take this opportunity to be lazy, but after hearing her words, they were startled and revealed an awkward smile.
"Hurry up." Liu Bingqian's face was filled with frost. Her lack of consideration had caused her team to suffer such a huge blow. Her heart was somewhat unhappy and her eyes were especially cold.
"Hurry up …"
"Okay, okay." Seeing that Liu Bingqian was about to get angry, they immediately laughed and hurriedly patted their butts as they stood up. In their hearts, they were secretly annoyed. How could Liu Bingqian see so clearly?
This time's sect mission was very important to Liu Bingqian's ability to enter the Profound Sect as an exchange student.
Although she herself did not have a strong desire, she could not slack off for the sake of her family's honor.
However, Liu Bingqian only had determination, but she did not have many backup plans. After all, they were in the light while the enemy was in the dark.
Ye Huichi, who had been silent all this time, straightened his collar and abruptly spoke out again.
"Since we are unable to determine the Rong Clan's position, why not start from the point of view of the fierce beasts? After all, hunting the intelligent fierce beasts in the crystal valley is a mission that every team needs to complete. "
His words immediately opened up everyone's train of thought.
"That's right. Although the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, everyone's ultimate goal is to hunt the fierce beasts. This little brother from the Ye Clan's words are not bad."
"Sigh … … I wonder what kind of expert the Rong Clan is hiding. Will we be able to fight against him?"
"What are you afraid of? Isn't Miss Bing here?"
While everyone was discussing, Liu Bing Qian's beautiful eyes overflowed with a strange light.
She looked at Ye Huichi and felt that with his level, he shouldn't be able to say such words. It was as if someone had taught him to say it.
However, what she thought in her heart was only a guess, and there was no basis for it.
"Big sister Bing Qian, what do you think? Why don't we do as he said and look for that intelligent fierce beast in the Crystal Valley? "
"This … is good." Although Liu Bing Qian felt that it was a little strange, it was not a reason for her to reject him. After all, the current her did not have any other good ideas. She could not reject other people's good suggestions just because of the suspicion in her heart.
"If no one has any clues, why don't we start from here and extend our search?" Ye Huichi's tone was slightly stiff, but it was still relatively fluent without any flaws.
Of course, if Ye Zifeng doesn't let the Rong clan and the Wang clan show themselves, then the Liu clan will be suspicious.
… …
In the gloomy cave.
Ye Feng suddenly opened his eyes. A divine light flashed in his starry eyes. The corner of his mouth raised into a smile.
"The Liu clan is here. They're about to enter the cave."
Xiao Mu stopped and turned around. His expression changed: "No way. You even know about this?"
He knew about Liu Yige's matter. However, Ye Huichi was a spy that Ye Zifeng had arranged for him before the mission started. Xiao Mu naturally didn't know about this.
"This … You don't need to worry about it." Ye Zifeng faintly smiled and slightly narrowed his eyes.
Sometimes, keeping a certain amount of mysteriousness to the followers was a good method to prevent them from betraying you.
"What should we do? If they come, then wouldn't the fierce beast that we worked so hard to find be ruined by them?" Xiao Mu muttered to himself.
"Ruin?" Ye Zifeng smiled and shook his head: "We haven't even entered the game yet, so how can we talk about other people?"
Xiao Mu's expression instantly changed: "Young master Ye means … …"
"After entering the cave, did you see that I wholeheartedly explore the deepest part of the cave?"
"This … …" Xiao Mu carefully thought about it. It seemed that Ye Zifeng really didn't do anything like this.
Ever since he entered the cave, he had marked everywhere and arranged a few things. However, he was indifferent towards the location of the fierce beast that Wang Mengxi was leading.
At first, he thought that Ye Zifeng was preparing to hunt the fierce beast. But now, it seems that Ye Zifeng's thoughts were still on the Liu clan.
"Since we haven't made a move against the fierce beast, then we can't be considered to have entered the game."
He paused for a moment and continued: "Since the Liu clan ignored my warning and came, then they should bear the consequences of the danger. Moreover, with them, they can help us probe the strength of the intelligent fierce beast."
Originally, Ye Zifeng wanted to use Wang Tianzhi's matter to give the Liu clan a show of strength.
However, since the other party knew that there was a tiger on the mountain, then there was nothing more to say. This was because his side could already be considered to have a clear conscience.
… …
When the Liu clan members arrived at the entrance of the underground cave.
The abundant demonic beast qi inside assaulted their faces, causing them to feel a trace of fear.
After all, the quality and quantity of this qi was completely different from the fierce beasts they encountered in the previous two missions … …
"It seems like the intelligent fierce beast's resting place is here." Liu Ningzi's beautiful eyes flashed as she firmly stared at the entrance. Soon after, she looked around and discovered that it was bottomless.
"Young master Ye, you're really not bad. You were actually able to rely on your" Searching for the Enemy "cultivation technique to find this cave." A few Liu clan members laughed and gave him a thumbs up.
Actually, this was not the path that Ye Huichi recognized. It was simply something that Ye Zifeng wrote on the spirit paper and taught him. How far to the north and how far to the west were clearly written on the paper.
Ye Huichi was secretly pleased as he listened. Ever since he was young, other than his father, Ye Chen, almost no one had ever praised him.
But now, these people's compliments made him incomparably happy.
Liu Bingqian courteously smiled towards Ye Huichi and immediately looked at everyone.
"Alright, since we've arrived at the entrance of the fierce beast, everyone can get serious. After all, the difficulty of the third mission is definitely not as easy as the previous two. If we really meet with danger, I'll open a path for you guys so that you can use your life saving medallion … …"
With Liu Bingqian's words, the pressure in everyone's heart dropped by a lot. It was as if the hanging stone had finally fallen to the ground.
"Alright, let's start moving forward. Who knows, there might already be people fighting with that fierce beast? Don't let others beat us to it. "
Liu Bingqian's bright eyes revealed a trace of determination. As a cultivator of the ninth rank of qi training, not only did she represent her own cultivation level, but she also carried a special responsibility.
… …
The deeper they walked into the underground cave, the darker it became.
Liu Bingqian relied on the pure mortal fire on her fingertips to light up the path for everyone.
Occasionally, she would see strange markings carved on the walls. There were all kinds of arrows drawn on them, as if they were leading them to the deepest part of the cave.
"This is a bit strange. Where did these markings come from? Looking at the scratches on them, they seem to be quite recent." Liu Bingqian walked closer to a place and lowered her head. She looked at the markings with a surprised expression.
Suddenly, she remembered the person who beat up Wang Tianzhi.
"Could it be … … it's them? Could it be that the Rong Clan's people had already entered before us? "
She did not dare to guess that it was Ye Zifeng's doing and could only put this "hat" on the Rong Clan's head.
And the purpose of carving markings in the cave was to ensure that people would be able to smoothly leave the cave after completing the mission.
"Big sister Bingqian, what should we do?" Liu Ningzi was frightened and her expression slightly changed: "If they had taken down the fierce beast and taken the monster crystal, then this mission would have been considered a failure."
"Then what are you still standing there for?" Liu Bingqian was moved by everyone's emotions. In addition to the fact that they were in such a dark place, she could not help but feel afraid.
An anxious expression immediately flashed through her beautiful eyes.
"Quickly follow them and rush to the deepest part of the cave. Don't let the Rong Clan get ahead of us … …"
After waiting for the Liu Clan's people to move forward, Ye Huichi stayed at the very back. After seeing that everyone had left, he took out the bag of spirit smoke that Liu Yige had given him.
Actually, even now, he still did not understand what the use of the spirit smoke was.
However, since it was something that Ye Zifeng wanted him to do, he would just do it.
Thus, he took out a flint, and with a slight bump, the spirit smoke was ignited. Light smoke rose in spirals, and slowly flowed into the cave.
At the same time, the spirit qi in the cave seemed to have a focal point. From the markings on the wall, it condensed towards the spirit smoke and formed a small whirlpool.
"Heavens, what kind of smoke is this? Why is it so strange … … "Ye Huichi did not think that the spirit smoke would be so powerful. He was so scared that he could not hold it steadily. He retreated a few steps and threw the spirit smoke to the ground.
Soon, even Liu Bingqian and the others who were walking in front felt that something was wrong.
"What's going on?"
At this moment, they hurriedly stopped and looked behind them. They felt that something was wrong but they could not see any clues.
When Liu Bingqian saw the rising spirit smoke, her expression immediately changed … …
