Lady Cultivator

"We are food." Half an hour later, everyone stopped in a passage that looked the same as before, and Nie Wushang opened his mouth and said this.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Nie Wushang continued: "If you want to live, you must either kill those who eat us or leave here."

The breath of the three Jin Shi was obviously unstable. After hearing this, Yu Gui, the most timid among them, looked at Jin Shi in panic: "Brother, this..." They had been running away for a while, and their demonic aura was stronger than that of Mo Tiange and the other four. Much less. They will definitely be the ones who can't hold on until the end of the escape.

Jin Shi stared at Nie Wushang closely and asked: "This... fellow Daoist Tiancan, are you saying that Mei Feng tricked us here just to feed this monster?"

Nie Wushang shook his head slightly: "The facts are before us, but I don't know whether it is the ultimate goal."

"If we are eaten, what is the ultimate goal?" Yong Ruyu frowned, her face ugly, "Will this monster become stronger after eating us?"

Nie Wushang snorted and glanced at him: "Didn't you notice that the monster's aura became stronger after you attacked?"

Yong Ruyu was startled. He really didn't notice this. At that time, the attack failed, and he only felt annoyed. But thinking about it carefully, even if it was strengthened, it wasn't much strengthened, right? Otherwise, with how sensitive the Danjie monk is to aura, he would have noticed it without paying attention.

Jin Yu and the other three were thoughtful, and Muxi hesitated: "Indeed... the first time we encountered this monster, it was not as strong as it is now."

Yugui's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he looked at Jinshi and said, "Isn't that...even if all of us join forces, we can't defeat it?"

"Why are you panicking?" Jin Shi looked at his expression and scolded him. He turned to Nie Wushang and asked politely, "Now that this fellow Taoist has discovered this, does he have a way to deal with it?"

Nie Wushang shook his head and said, "I have some clues, but I can't think of a way yet."

Jinshi was stunned when he heard this: "Then what should we do next? Are we just going to run away endlessly? In this case, we will not be able to recover the magic energy in the end, and we will eventually be eaten."

"I have a proposal." Mo Tiange, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Although we have only known each other for a short time, we have roughly figured out each other's personalities. Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo are both capable and knowledgeable, but they tend to get confused at critical moments.

As for Jin and Shi, there is no need to mention Yu Gui. Although Muxi is careful, his vision is limited, and Jin Shi is a bit rough as a person. In this way, Nie Wushang and Mo Tiange were the only two people who could put forward feasible suggestions at the critical moment.

Mo Tiange continued: "If the first level is to confuse us, and this is City Lord Mei's purpose, then everyone should come here."

"Not bad." Although Jin Shi was rough, he was not stupid. After hearing these words, he immediately thought of what she was going to say, "If we gather everyone together, maybe we can..."

"Well, if we work together, there may not be hope." Mo Tiange nodded in agreement.

Muxi immediately began to calculate carefully: "There are seven of us here, so there should be eight people who are not in the same place. One person has been devoured. This is what we have seen with our own eyes. If everyone else is okay, there are seven more people."

Yong Ruyu looked a little hesitant: "Are we really going to find everyone? But this place is like a maze, how to find it?" There are so many side roads, it takes a long time just to walk through them.

"What about this," Nie Wushang said, "Let's divide ourselves into groups and mark them together. Every time we are separated for half an hour, we must reunite once. This will ensure that we don't get separated."

"Okay, okay." Jin Shi said, "But even so, we may not be able to find everyone, and if we can't recover the magic..."

"So, we must determine a time." Mo Tiange said, "Let's talk about how long the elixir on your body can keep the spiritual energy full."

"This..." Jin Shi hesitated at first. How many elixirs are on one's body is a top secret for monks, just like magic weapons. If others know about this kind of thing, they will be passive during the battle. Even good friends will not ask such questions on weekdays.

On the contrary, Yong Ruyu immediately said: "Yes, we are now grasshoppers on the same rope. In the face of powerful enemies, of course, we still have a higher chance of surviving together, so we must trust our teammates for once. However, I hope that all of us can Make an oath not to turn against each other until we escape safely."

"That's no problem." Mo Tiange glanced at Jin Shi, "What do the three fellow Taoists think?"

"This..." Jin Shi still hesitated.

Seeing this, Yong Ruyu said in a deep voice: "Three fellow Taoists, you are demon cultivators. Relatively speaking, the oath is no more binding on you than on us. If you can't even accept this, how can we trust each other? No. Trust, how to cooperate?”

"Brother, what he said is true." Muxi reminded in a low voice, "The situation is urgent, this is the only way."

Jinshi hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth: "Okay, I have to make a bet." After saying that, he raised his hand and said, "I, Jinshi, swear an oath to the devil here. I will advance and retreat together with all the fellow Taoists present on this trip, and trust each other. Several Taoists I will treat others as my friends treat me. If I have evil intentions and violate my oath, I will not be able to advance to Nascent Soul for the rest of my life, and all my magical powers will be lost."

After he finished reciting, Muxi and Yugui followed the same method. After making the oath, the three of them looked at Mo Tiange and others.

Mo Tiange did not hesitate, and first said: "I swear by the demon in my heart. Before I escape safely, as long as you fellow Taoists do not break your oath, I will trust you wholeheartedly and will never be an enemy of you. If I violate this oath, Tao Ancestor will witness , causing me to be trapped by inner demons all my life, unable to make any progress in my cultivation, and losing all my magical powers."

Then Nie Wushang, Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo made an oath one by one.

When the last person said it, the seven of them breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had initial trust in each other.

Mortals may be able to deny the oath, but practitioners like them cannot. The reason why they embark on the path of spiritual practice is because they believe that there are immortals and demons in this world. In this case, how can they break the oath. Even if the demonic cultivators do not have as strict mental state training as Taoist cultivators, they still have their own taboos.

After Jinshi made the oath, he simply took out several bottles of elixirs from his arms and said: "For us demon cultivators, there are not many elixirs that can be taken directly. After entering this secret place, we have already consumed them." There are a lot of magic pills, these few bottles are the only ones I have left, I think they can last for a day or two."

Muxi continued: "I have less money than my eldest brother, but if I use it sparingly, I can last a whole day without any problem."

Yugui opened the Qiankun bag, looked at it, and said, "I'm about the same as Muxi, I can probably only last one day."

Seeing this situation, Mo Tiange frowned slightly. She knew that magic cultivators often didn't have many elixirs, but she didn't expect that there would be so few. They had walked in this cave for so long without even noticing the end. It would definitely not take a day to search them all. In addition, in order to deal with the monster, some of the elixir must be left until the last moment and not all used up.

Then came Qiu Chengruo: "Our situation is better. I often make elixirs on weekdays and have many pills that can be taken as spirit-boosting pills. I think it will be no problem for me and my senior brother to take them for three to five days."

Hearing this, Mo Tiange looked better. Pill-forming monks, especially those with sects, can only live well if they have so many pills.

Nie Wushang spread his hands and said, "I don't have many pills, but I have a treasure that can replenish spiritual energy and last for three to five days."

Finally, there was Mo Tiange. She said, "I have some elixirs in my body, and it won't be a problem for three to five days." She didn't finish her words, and continued, "In that case, let's make an agreement on other things."

No one else had any objections, they agreed on markers and a rough route, and finally the troops were divided into three groups. The three demon cultivators are naturally still together, Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo together, and Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang together. Although everyone has sworn an oath, things like team operations still require mutual trust and tacit understanding.

"Fellow Taoists, my junior sister and I will go first." After finalizing the details, Yong Ruyu was the first to say goodbye. The two of them chose the left side. If they encountered too many forks in the road, they would come back early and send a message to notify them.

Then it was Jin Shi: "Then let's go too." After saying that, he took the two brothers and went to the right without any nonsense.

Finally, only two people were left. Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang looked at each other, sighed at each other, and walked towards the central passage.

After walking for a while, his spiritual consciousness could no longer detect the traces of the other two people. Nie Wushang suddenly asked: "Your idea is not just to gather everyone together, right?"

Mo Tiange glanced at her, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "As expected, I still can't hide it from you. Yes, this proposal actually has another meaning. It would be great if everyone could be brought together, but if this way is blocked, people Being dispersed only buys time for everyone.”

They acted separately. The monster could only chase one target at a time. The others were relatively safer. If they cooperated well and consumed less spiritual energy, they could last longer. This method may not guarantee the safety of everyone, but even if someone sacrifices, it can buy time for others.

"They agreed so readily, so they may not know what you mean."

"I know," Mo Tiange didn't hide it, "but they are all strangers, and they sacrificed some people to gain their own safety. How could they refuse? Anyway, this proposal was made by me, so they can just acquiesce."

"But if they are the ones who are sacrificed..."

"That can only be attributed to bad luck, even for us." Mo Tiange said calmly. To this day, she no longer makes trouble for such things. On the road to cultivating immortality, sometimes it is luck. If you are lucky, you will advance step by step. If you are not lucky, you can only become a stepping stone for others.

Nie Wushang was silent. She was more used to this kind of thing than Mo Tiange. After a while, she asked again: "But this is not your ultimate goal, right?"

Mo Tiange turned his head, looked at her and smiled: "I have to ask you again. Do you know that monster, right?") Book friends, please pay attention!
