Chapter 26 The Dangers of a New Mission
Chapter 26 The Dangers of a New Mission
New Path Faces Obstacles, Overcome Difficulties with Wisdom
Before Bi Yao had the chance to enjoy the "Versailles"-style happiness, she was overwhelmed by a new outer sect mission.
This mission can be simply summarized in four words: a life-or-death situation!
Explore a mysterious area deep in the mountains behind the Immortal Gate - this place sounds like it's not something to be trifled with. It's said that there are powerful demons lurking in it. It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out.
The disciples around him looked at Bi Yao as if he were a martyr.
Even Zhou Xiaomei, the little fan who used to regard her as an idol, now had tears in her eyes and looked like, "Sister, take care of yourself."
Senior Brother Chen was even more gloating, saying in a strange voice, "Hey, Junior Sister Bi Yao, this mission is a 'good job'! I wonder if you can have the same good luck this time as last time!"
Bi Yao rolled her eyes and cursed in her heart: You are the lucky one!
This girl relies on wisdom!
This strong atmosphere of "workplace oppression" made Bi Yao feel suffocated.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
No, we have to find a way!
"Brother Chen, since you care about me so much, do you want to go with me?" Bi Yao asked with a wry smile.
Senior Brother Chen's expression changed, and he quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, I don't have that ability! Junior Sister, you have great magical powers, this little thing will definitely not be difficult for you!"
Bi Yao sneered and ignored him.
She turned to look at Zhou Xiaomei, and her tone was much gentler: "Don't be afraid, little sister, I will protect you."
Zhou Xiaomei was so moved that she nodded continuously, as if she had found support.
Bi Yao was thinking in her heart: Protect you?
Let me protect myself first!
This damn place, I must think of a thorough way to get in...
At this moment, a voice rang out in the crowd: "Bi Yao, this mission..." Li Yuan pushed through the crowd, walked up to Bi Yao, and said to Brother Chen seriously: "Brother Chen, what you said is wrong. Although Sister Bi Yao has only been practicing for a short time, her strength should not be underestimated. If it weren't for her last mission, it's hard to say whether we could come back!" He paused, then turned to Bi Yao, his tone full of concern: "Bi Yao, this mission is extremely dangerous. Let me go with you."
Senior Brother Chen scoffed, "Just you? Li Yuan, you're just a casual cultivator, why are you joining in the fun?"
Li Yuan was not annoyed, he just shrugged with an expression that said "whatever you want".
A warm feeling surged in Bi Yao's heart. Although this guy was usually talkative and a little eccentric, he was quite reliable at critical moments.
She smiled gratefully at Li Yuan and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Li."
The two of them went to the depths of the back mountain together. The scenery along the way was beautiful, but there was a hidden danger.
The terrain of this place is even more complicated than Bi Yao had imagined. It is simply a natural maze!
However, this is not a problem for Bi Yao, who has modern knowledge.
She took out the simple homemade compass she carried with her - this thing was made by her using magnets and some small gadgets, and it was definitely the only one of its kind in the world!
Combined with some geographical knowledge dug out from the original owner's memory, Bi Yao quickly analyzed a seemingly safe route.
Li Yuan watched Bi Yao's ferocious movements and couldn't help but sigh, "Bi Yao, you really are... a hidden talent! How did you even come up with this?"
Bi Yao smiled mysteriously: "The hermit has a plan! Follow me closely and I will keep you safe!"
The two of them advanced carefully along the route planned by Bi Yao and did not encounter any danger along the way.
Just when they thought everything was going smoothly, Li Yuan suddenly stopped and looked forward with a serious expression...
"Wait, Bi Yao, did you hear..."
Li Yuan pricked up his ears, listened carefully, and his expression gradually became serious.
"It sounds like... something is crawling, and there are quite a few of them!"
Bi Yao also held her breath and listened attentively.
Sure enough, a rustling sound came from the front, getting clearer and clearer as it got closer.
The two looked at each other and saw vigilance in each other's eyes.
"High-energy warning ahead! Prepare for battle!" Bi Yao whispered, and at the same time took out an exquisite dagger from the storage bag. This was a "magic weapon" she had crafted with her own hands using modern smelting knowledge.
Not long after, a group of hideous little monsters appeared in front of them.
These little monsters look like enlarged versions of spiders, covered with thorns, and their eight legs move quickly, making creepy noises.
"Oh my god! I'm going to have trypophobia!" Bi Yao complained, but the movements of his hands were unambiguous. He swung the dagger, and with a flash of cold light, several little monsters were chopped to the ground in an instant.
Li Yuan was not to be outdone. The long sword in his hand flew around, and the sword energy was rampant, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, killing the little monsters that pounced on him one by one.
"Brother Li, these little monsters seem to be a little weak!" While fighting, Bi Yao observed the attack methods of the little monsters and found that their attacks were disorganized and they just relied on the advantage of numbers to carry out siege.
Li Yuan waved his sword while answering breathlessly: "Although he is a chatterbox, he is surprisingly frugal with his words."
"Numbers are also a problem! Two fists can't beat four hands, be careful not to capsize in the ditch!"
"Capsize? Not happening!" Bi Yao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile.
"Watch me!" She quickly observed the surroundings and found that they were in a narrow valley with steep rock walls on both sides.
perfect!
While Bi Yao was dealing with the little monsters, he led them to the center of the valley without leaving any trace.
Then, she took out a handful of special medicinal powder from her storage bag and sprinkled it on the rock walls on both sides of the valley.
This powder was made by grinding some herbs with a pungent smell. It is harmless to the human body, but it is a deadly poison to these little monsters.
The powder spread and a pungent smell filled the valley.
The little monsters were stimulated by the smell and struggled frantically, falling into the trap at the bottom of the valley - it was a big pit dug by Bi Yao in advance, filled with sharp stones.
"Great! Done!" Bi Yao clapped his hands with an expression that said "everything is under control".
Li Yuan looked at this "magic operation" and couldn't help but admire Bi Yao's wit.
He gave her a thumbs up and praised her sincerely, "Bi Yao, you are absolutely my idol! You are so amazing!"
The atmosphere around them suddenly became relaxed, and the two smiled at each other, both feeling that this battle was won extremely easily.
However, at this moment, Li Yuan's face suddenly changed. He grabbed Bi Yao's arm and whispered, "...It seems like something is coming." Before Li Yuan finished speaking, the ground began to tremble, and a powerful demonic energy swept over, pressing the two to the point that they could hardly breathe.
"Oh my god! Is this a big deal?" Bi Yao couldn't help but swear. This thick demonic energy was more than one level stronger than those little spider spirits before.
I saw a huge figure slowly walking out from the depths of the valley, blocking out the sky and the sun, like a moving hill.
This evil monster is shaped like a tiger, but has three ferocious dragon heads. Its body is covered with thick scales and emits a chilling green light.
"Three...three demonic tigers?!" Li Yuan's voice was trembling, and he was obviously frightened by the evil aura.
"I'm afraid we can't defeat this thing!"
Although Bi Yao was a little frightened, she was a person who had seen the world after all - well, mainly she had read a lot of online novels.
"Why are you panicking? Among the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one!" She grabbed Li Yuan's hand, turned around and ran.
"Hey, hey, hey, wait for me!" Li Yuan was almost dragged to stagger. This queen was too strong!
The two of them ran wildly all the way, and the three demon tigers were chasing them closely behind. The deafening roars kept coming, as if they were death warrants.
"No, this is not a solution. This thing is too fast!" Bi Yao thought quickly about countermeasures while running.
Suddenly, she had a brilliant idea.
"Brother Li, you attract its attention, I'll be back soon!" After Bi Yao finished speaking, he suddenly stopped and took out a bag from his storage bag.
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't be impulsive!" Li Yuan stomped his feet anxiously. Why was this girl still so excited?
Bi Yao ignored him, but smiled mysteriously and threw the thing in his hand towards the three demon tigers.
"Take this! My secret weapon—the super invincible Thunderbolt Fire Bomb!"
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and flames shot up into the sky... Li Yuan stared at the scene in amazement, feeling like his jaw was about to drop.
This...what kind of black technology is this?
!
When the smoke cleared, the three-headed demon tiger disappeared!
Li Yuan walked up to Bi Yao with a confused look on his face: "Is this...solved?"
Bi Yao raised his eyebrows proudly: "Of course, don't you see who I am!" However, at this moment, the earth shook violently again, even more violently than before, and an even more terrifying aura came from deep underground...
"It seems... things have gotten out of hand..." Bi Yao's voice trembled a little.
Li Yuan swallowed and murmured, "...What's that thing down there?"
