Inside the Hidden Dragon Cave.
Lin Xian'er walked in the ancient passage.
Qin Shu and others followed behind her.
"Xian'er, is our progress a bit slow?"
Others had already gone ahead, but they were still lingering in the initial stage.
"No hurry. This place is strange. Let's probe the situation first."
Lin Xian'er shook her head.
Just after entering this place, Lin Xian'er found that she had lost the two Dou Ancestor puppets guarding behind her.
And no matter how she activated the token given by Han Feng, she could not contact her teacher.
Various unusual situations gradually increased the vigilance in Lin Xian'er's heart.
Seeing Lin Xian'er being so careful, Qin Shu also suppressed her little schemes.
She knew very well how powerful this girl in front of her was. Once her poison skills erupted, even a three or four-star Dou Emperor might not be her opponent.
To deal with her, they could only rely on the Blood Spirit Formation left by the imperial seniors in the Hidden Dragon Cave.
That was a formation possessing power infinitely close to Dou Venerate. Even after so much time, the residual power was still at the Dou Ancestor level.
It would be easy to suppress a Dou Emperor.
Her second and third brothers had already set off according to the plan, and presumably, they were already setting up at this time.
A trace of mockery flashed in Qin Shu's eyes.
Lin Xian'er, although you are powerful, having fallen into this trap, even if your background is deep, how can you escape my palm?
The group continued to deepen.
The environment in the Hidden Dragon Cave was changeable and full of dangers. Various levels were almost unpredictable, but after long experience accumulation, the Imperial Family of the Eastern Xuan Empire could ensure the smoothness of the first half of the journey.
At least before reaching the Blood Spirit Formation, they were safe.
Qin Shu waited patiently.
She did not choose the easiest path to pass but took Lin Xian'er on a detour.
In order to play the role of a good friend, every time they encountered a level, Qin Shu would work together with Lin Xian'er to deal with it.
For problems that Lin Xian'er could not solve immediately, Qin Shu would also express her views and inadvertently pass the level, winning Lin Xian'er's trust.
Ignoring her ultimate goal, Qin Shu was indeed an excellent partner.
Boom!
The door of the sixth cave of the Hidden Dragon Cave opened, and Lin Xian'er stepped into it.
A mysterious smile appeared on Qin Shu's face.
Arrived.
The sixth cave was the place where the imperial seniors set up the formation back then.
Originally, this formation was prepared for later generations to enter the seventh cave, but the danger of the seventh cave was too great, and no one has returned so far, so the formation had some other uses.
"Xian'er, this is the last cave our Imperial Family explored. I'm not very clear about the road after."
Qin Shu stepped forward and said.
Lin Xian'er nodded.
"Different paths lead to the same goal. Your brothers should have arrived too, right?"
Qin Shu glanced at Lin Xian'er in surprise.
"Probably. They move quite fast."
"That's good."
Rumble!
The stone door of the sixth cave closed slowly.
A emerald green flame flashed in Lin Xian'er's eyes.
"Let's go. The meeting point is just ahead."
Qin Shu stepped forward and said.
The look in Lin Xian'er's eyes returned to normal, and she followed the crowd forward.
"Eldest Sister, you finally came?"
The other members of the Imperial Family stood on an ancient stone platform, watching Qin Shu and others approach.
The Second Prince's gaze focused on Lin Xian'er, revealing a trace of desire undisguisedly.
Lin Xian'er frowned slightly.
"We were delayed a bit on the way, but it doesn't matter."
Qin Shu stood up and said: "Xian'er, to enter the seventh cave, we need to cooperate with the formation. You are a Dou Emperor, how about being responsible for the main formation?"
Lin Xian'er looked around and suddenly started walking.
Everyone didn't understand what she wanted to do. After Lin Xian'er walked around the stone platform once, she suddenly raised her head.
"Okay."
Qin Shu and others looked at each other and smiled.
"Then let's begin."
All members of the Imperial Family quickly stood in their own positions.
Lin Xian'er moved her steps slowly and walked towards the center of the formation.
After she stepped into the middle position of the formation, a gloomy aura instantly locked her surroundings.
"Sorry, Xian'er."
Qin Shu pinched the seal in her hand, and blood-red patterns lit up from under the stone platform.
The Blood Spirit Formation was activated. Lin Xian'er, who was in the center of the formation, was suppressed by the combined efforts of the imperial disciples in each corner at this time.
"You can't escape!"
The Second Prince laughed loudly.
However, Lin Xian'er did not show panic. She just looked at everyone lightly without saying a word.
Qin Shu suddenly felt a bad feeling in her heart.
The next second, she felt a severe colic in her heart, and her whole person subconsciously knelt on the ground.
Similar to her condition were the other imperial disciples.
Everyone, without exception.
"You... you knew it all along!"
Qin Shu endured the severe pain and looked up at Lin Xian'er.
At this time, the people manipulating the formation had all fallen, and the formation naturally lost its restraining effect.
Lin Xian'er still walked towards Qin Shu with slow steps.
A green flame danced in her eyes, and a small butterfly stopped on her shoulder.
"I didn't know."
Lin Xian'er shook her head.
"It's just that being alone outside, necessary vigilance is still needed."
Qin Shu endured the severe pain, and bean-sized sweat beads rolled down her cheeks.
Her heart felt like falling into an ice cave at this time.
"So you never trusted me from the beginning."
Lin Xian'er smiled coldly.
"You are not qualified to say such things."
Lin Xian'er snapped her fingers. Qin Shu instantly lost the strength to speak, lying on the ground, a faint layer of green appearing on her skin surface.
Those imperial followers outside the formation were dumbfounded at this moment.
They didn't expect at all that in just a few seconds, all the imperial disciples fell to the ground.
Watching Lin Xian'er approach step by step, everyone backed away in horror.
"Don't come over!"
Lin Xian'er's figure suddenly blurred and flashed. When she appeared again, she was already standing behind everyone.
In the area she walked through, a colorless and invisible poisonous gas permeated. All those who entered the sixth cave of the Hidden Dragon Cave foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground.
Performing such an act of wiping out the group, Lin Xian'er did not show any apologetic expression.
She strode forward and came to the entrance of the seventh cave.
It is said that the secret of the Azure Dragon is hidden in the Hidden Dragon Cave.
If she gets it, maybe she can give Teacher a surprise.
Lin Xian'er knew that Han Feng possessed the inheritance of the Black Tortoise, one of the ancient four divine beasts.
Even that "Black Tortoise Heavenly Ancestor Sutra," Lin Xian'er had seen.
It's just that her cultivation was too shallow to comprehend the true meaning within.
The entrance to the seventh cave of the Hidden Dragon Cave required passing a strength test.
When Lin Xian'er stepped into it, a bronze mechanical dragon rose from the ground.
"Different from the previous six levels, this level seems..."
Lin Xian'er narrowed her eyes, sensing a scarlet light gradually lighting up in the hollow pupils of the bronze dragon head.
Boom!
Killing intent!
Lin Xian'er dodged instantly, and a sharp dragon claw attacked the position where she originally stood.
The speed of the bronze mechanical dragon had surpassed Dou Emperor.
It was completely different from the previous six levels.
Lin Xian'er was highly concentrated.
She thought quickly in her mind about how to pass this level.
Those imperial people who fell before the seventh cave included Dou Ancestor-level existences.
Even they weren't sure about passing...
Lin Xian'er scanned the whole body of the bronze dragon, looking for possible weaknesses, but the mechanisms connecting the parts were very clever, and no breakthrough point could be found at all.
Even her best poisoning lost its effect against mechanical creations.
Lin Xian'er kept dodging the attacks of the bronze dragon, feeling the strength of her body being constantly consumed.
If this continued, she would have to face failure.
"There must be a way."
Lin Xian'er preserved her physical strength, and the trajectory of the bronze dragon's attack just now suddenly appeared in her mind.
"It tracks my position based on my Dou Qi fluctuations."
Boom!
Lin Xian'er restrained her Dou Qi, stepping out afterimages.
The dragon claw paused for half a second, then followed immediately.
"Useful!"
Lin Xian'er looked happy.
However, before she could be happy for a while, the red light in the bronze dragon's pupils flickered, and the attack method changed suddenly.
Bolts of lightning fell from the top of the cave. Lin Xian'er's face changed, and she condensed Dou Qi again to resist the lightning attack.
Sizzle!
The lightning directly penetrated the Dou Qi shield, and a strong sense of numbness spread throughout her body. At the same time, a cyan dragon claw attacked rapidly. Lin Xian'er's heart sank to the bottom.
Bad!
If hit by this blow, she would be seriously injured if not dead.
Lin Xian'er's body couldn't move, but her soul power activated something inside her body.
A purple poison shadow holding a long sword flew out of her body, shattering the dragon claw phantom, but it also flew backward and inserted fiercely into the ground, letting out a soft moan.
This was the Poison Spirit in Lin Xian'er's body, and that long sword was a gift from Feng Xian back then.
At this moment, the two appeared to protect the master and blocked the fatal blow for Lin Xian'er.
Lin Xian'er recovered from the numbness and quickly stuffed a handful of pills into her mouth.
Dou Qi in her body recovered rapidly. Lin Xian'er analyzed the situation just now in her mind.
The bronze dragon would change its attack method accordingly based on her combat method.
It would slowly adapt to all her means.
So, the best way is to defeat it with explosive power before it adapts.
Thinking of this, a strange pattern gradually appeared on Lin Xian'er's forehead.
"Woeful Poison Body!"
"Release!"
Her purple long hair turned white, and the aura in Lin Xian'er's body rose continuously.
The bronze dragon's eyes were scarlet and about to flash. At this moment, a huge green poison ball exploded above its head.
The Nether Poison Fire destroyed the adaptation phase of the bronze dragon. Lin Xian'er seized the opportunity and directly used her ultimate move.
"Nine Yin Mysterious Scolding Hand!"
A huge claw shadow bombarded the head of the bronze dragon, and a harsh sound of sparks sounded.
Behind Lin Xian'er, the Poison Spirit appeared and also displayed the Nine Yin Mysterious Scolding Hand, grabbing at the bronze dragon's head.
Crack!
The huge bronze dragon head snapped in response.
It smashed heavily on the ground, startling a layer of air waves.
Lin Xian'er flew back to the ground, looking at the scene in front of her uncertainly.
Only to see the huge bronze dragon turning into a ball of cyan energy at this moment and scattering with the wind.
The gate of the seventh cave opened slowly at this moment.
Inside was the reward after she passed the level.
The previous levels were all some materials rarely seen outside.
Wonder what the reward for this seventh level will be.
Lin Xian'er stepped into it.
A cyan scroll appeared in front of her eyes.
Lin Xian'er opened it and exclaimed immediately.
"Earth Rank High Level Movement Dou Skill, Blue Sky Wandering Dragon Step!"
Movement Dou Skills themselves were very rare. Earth Rank High Level Movement Dou Skills could serve as core inheritance Dou Skills even in major forces in the Central Plains.
"It seems this Hidden Dragon Cave indeed has good stuff."
Lin Xian'er put away the scroll and continued to explore in the seventh cave.
According to the news from the members of the Eastern Xuan Empire Imperial Family, there are a total of twelve caves in the Hidden Dragon Cave.
The best exploration result of the imperial ancestors only stopped at the sixth cave.
On the one hand, it might be that the method was wrong, or they cherished their lives and dared not enter. In short, the Imperial Family of the Eastern Xuan Empire did not have this "Blue Sky Wandering Dragon Step."
Starting to give Dou Skills from the seventh cave, the rewards for the remaining five caves will only be higher, maybe even Heaven Rank cultivation techniques will appear.
A light flashed in Lin Xian'er's eyes, but she soon calmed down.
With her current strength, passing the seventh level was tough enough. Wanting to continue challenging, she might really leave her life here.
After weighing repeatedly, Lin Xian'er decided not to take risks anymore.
She explored in the seventh cave for a while, stored all the discovered treasures, and found a place to start comprehending the "Blue Sky Wandering Dragon Step."
Now outside the Hidden Dragon Cave were people from the Eastern Xuan Empire Imperial Family. She would definitely be targeted if she went out alone. Unless her master arrived, she was still very dangerous.
Before entering the Hidden Dragon Cave, Lin Xian'er crushed the token Han Feng gave her. If her master received it, he should be on his way.
Not long after Lin Xian'er comprehended, she suddenly felt as if the entire cave was shaken violently.
She stood up unsteadily and hurriedly flew to the corner to find cover.
"What's the situation?"
Lin Xian'er looked around vigilantly.
Could there be any danger in the Hidden Dragon Cave?
Swish!
Suddenly, a golden light flew over.
Lin Xian'er subconsciously activated the Woeful Poison Body and assumed a fighting stance.
However, the voice shouting from the golden light instantly relaxed her.
"Xian'er!"
After Han Feng entered this place, he found that the time flow inside was different from the outside, so he dared not delay and rushed directly from the first cave to the seventh cave where Lin Xian'er was.
He only stayed in the sixth cave for a moment.
"Master!"
Lin Xian'er looked at the comer in surprise.
"Why did you come in too?"
Han Feng breathed a sigh of relief seeing Lin Xian'er safe and sound.
Associating with the miserable state seen on the way, Han Feng knew that his disciple won this plot.
"Your induction suddenly lost contact. I was afraid something happened to you, so I came over immediately."
Han Feng sighed.
"Fortunately, you girl are quite clever."
Hearing this, Lin Xian'er reacted immediately.
"Teacher, you saw those in the sixth cave..."
"Mm."
Han Feng nodded.
"You poisoned them all?"
Lin Xian'er whispered:
"Master, they wanted to harm me, so I acted a bit heavy."
"Well done."
"Ah?"
Han Feng said seriously:
"Being alone outside, the first thing to do is to protect yourself."
"You did very well this time."
