Chapter 032 The Fire Kirin is Coming
After blocking the entrance of the cave, Ni Kun and the other two quickly moved forward and came to a cave the size of an indoor basketball court.
The cave was empty, with nothing in it. There were only two forked entrances in the cave, and no one knew where they led to.
"Which way should we go?" asked Kanan.
"See which passage has traces of wild animal claws on the ground," said Ni Kun.
Although there was a dim light coming from nowhere in the cave, it was only enough to allow people to see the road clearly and avoid bumping into the wall. With Ni Kun's eyesight, he really couldn't distinguish the inconspicuous traces in such a dim environment.
The demon girl's eyes flashed with a faint blue light. She glanced around and pointed to the cave on her left hand side: "Over there."
Ni Kun walked into the fork in the cave indicated by Qian Qian without hesitation. Wen Caiting and Qian Qian quickly followed.
As she walked, she asked:
"Where exactly is this place? What are we doing here? The claw marks of the beast look so big. What kind of beast is hiding in this cave? Also, how did you know there is such a cave here..."
She kept asking questions, her tone full of curiosity.
Ni Kun said: "Don't ask, it will be beneficial to you."
Before Xianxian could say anything else, she heard faint roars from the back, apparently someone was trying to clear the blocked cave entrance.
Ni Kun frowned: "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"
After another quick walk, they came to a larger cave. On the wall of this cave, there were some creeper-like vines.
Ni Kun looked up and saw a strange fruit on one of the vines. The fruit had a dark red skin and a faint magma-like red glow inside. His eyes suddenly lit up and he strode to the vine and picked the fruit.
This strange fruit feels scorching hot to the touch, almost scalding. Ni Kun knows that this strange fruit is most likely the "Blood Bodhi".
Putting the strange fruit into his purse, Ni Kun ordered, "Quick, look for other fruits like this!"
Kanan and Wen Caiting searched separately and each found a strange fruit covered by .
This is all the blood bodhi in this cave. There are not many vines here, and the blood bodhi can glow, which is very conspicuous in this dark environment. If you can't find it, it's really gone.
"What exactly is this fruit?"
Kanan spread out her jade hands. In her snow-white palms, she held a glowing red exotic fruit. She looked at Ni Kun with sharp eyes:
"You came here specifically to look for this fruit?"
“It’s just one of the benefits.”
Ni Kun simply said, and looked at the three forked paths in the cave, "Continue, and look for the path with the claw marks of wild beasts."
Kankan and Wen Caiting observed for a while and locked onto a fork in the road. The three of them ran into the fork and quickly ran through the winding and deep passage. This time it took them nearly half an hour before they arrived at a cave.
This cave is quite large, with a space as large as a football field.
The cave floor was not smooth and had many signs of damage. Wen Caiting looked around and said in surprise:
"In addition to the claw marks of wild beasts, there are also cracks caused by swords and knives on the ground and walls! Could it be that someone has been here before?"
Ni Kun thought that many people had been to Lingyun Cave, and some of them even left behind their unique skills. It just depends on whether he is lucky enough to find them.
While he was thinking, he also looked around and saw that the cave wall diagonally opposite was covered with dense vines. Countless dark red light spots were hidden among the vines, flashing like stars of red light.
Ni Kun raised the corner of his mouth, a smile appeared on his face, and he strode towards the cave wall, saying:
"Don't worry about anything else, just go pick the exotic fruits!"
Wen Caiting flew over without saying a word, and with her hands as fast as a phantom, she quickly picked the exotic fruits.
Although Kankan was also active, she was muttering to herself in her heart: Even the old sword fairy Ni Kun is so concerned about this, could these fruits be some kind of rare spiritual fruits?
I wanted to secretly put one in my mouth to try it, but I was afraid that this strange fruit was poisonous - a fruit that glows red and feels hot, I've never seen it, let alone heard of it.
Such an exotic fruit, even if it was a rare spiritual fruit with miraculous effects on spiritual practice, Kankan would not dare to try it easily.
This is just like many precious medicinal materials, which need to be processed before they can be eaten.
As the saying goes, all medicines are poisonous to some extent. Some herbs are even highly toxic if taken alone.
If this exotic fruit needs to be prepared by special means, or refined using "immortal techniques" before it can be consumed, and is poisonous if swallowed directly, then wouldn't she be digging her own grave by secretly swallowing one?
Therefore, she could only suppress her curiosity and pick the fruits quickly.
Ni Kun's hand speed was far slower than theirs, so he did not pick the fruits. Instead, he carried a large package made from his cassock and kept collecting the fruits they had picked.
Just when they had picked half of the exotic fruits, they suddenly heard bursts of shouting and fighting in the passage they came from. The noise was so loud that it even caused dust to fall from the dome of the cave where Ni Kun and the other two were.
Ni Kun cursed inwardly, and without caring about the unpicked fruits, he called Kankan and Wen Caiting and rushed into a fork in the road with claw marks and knife marks.
Just as the three of them left, a figure flew out from the passage they came from, rolled on the ground, and coughed up a mouthful of blood foam.
Then another tall figure rushed out like a whirlwind, waving a Zen stick and chopping down on the head of the figure that rolled out first.
The figure pushed the ground with his palm and flew away diagonally, avoiding the stick.
The staff missed its target and hit the ground, blasting a basin-sized dent in the hard rock. The splashed gravel was like shrapnel from a cannon, whistling in all directions and hitting the wall of the cave nearby, making a loud bang.
At this time, a deep shout came from the passage: "Don't do your best, devil!"
Then several figures rushed out and fought with the tall figure.
These people were none other than Master Mao, Master Liaokong, the Four Holy Monks, and Master Zhenyan.
The one who had fallen to the ground in a panic before was none other than Venerable Di Xin, one of the four great holy monks.
Venerable Di Xin was also good at using the Zen staff, and his "Great Perfection Staff Technique" was a unique skill. However, he was at a disadvantage in the Zen staff duel with Mao Tai, and his Great Perfection Staff Technique was broken by Mao Tai. He was beaten badly and almost suffered serious injuries.
Fortunately, the other five monks came to the rescue in time, which prevented Venerable Di Xin from being more seriously injured.
Now they were in this huge cave, with a vast space, no longer as cramped as the previous cave passages. This gave the six monks enough space to besiege Mao Tai, and for a while they managed to trap him here again.
Mao Tai was so angry that he screamed and wanted to release his flying sword several times, but he held himself back.
Although the flying sword is sharp, it consumes too much energy.
With his level of cultivation, it would not be difficult for him to release his flying sword to kill these bald donkeys, but after killing them, he might not have enough true energy to hunt down the villains who killed his apprentice Zhang Liang.
If the consumption is too great, they may not even be able to protect themselves from the siege of numerous Buddhist masters that will come in succession.
Therefore, no matter how angry Mao Tai was, he could only suppress his anger, and danced his Zen stick into a ball of silver light, relying on his martial arts to fight against the six masters.
After a brief stalemate, a large group of people emerged from the cave. They were many monks and lay masters who had arrived one after another.
After these people rushed into the cave, they watched the fight for a while. Suddenly, someone noticed that there seemed to be flashing red lights on the opposite wall of the cave.
The martial artists used their full eyesight to see clearly their shapes with the help of the brightness of the red light itself.
Seeing that they were actually some exotic fruits growing on vines and flashing red light, all the martial artists rushed over without thinking, and no longer cared about watching the battle between grandmasters and trying to figure out the mysteries of martial arts from it - compared with those fiery red exotic fruits that were obviously rare treasures, the battle between grandmasters did not seem to be worth anything.
There were at least two to three hundred warriors rushing in one after another. Although there were dozens of Buddhist monk masters among them, most of them were secular warriors.
After Ni Kun and his two companions searched the cave walls for the exotic fruits, only a small number were left, less than a hundred pieces. One was not enough for each person, not to mention that almost everyone wanted to take more.
Even if we still don't know what these exotic fruits are used for, or whether they are poisonous or non-toxic, we can pick more. Wouldn't that result in some extra for experiments to verify the efficacy of the exotic fruits?
There are too many people and too little porridge, so disputes are inevitable as people scramble to pick the fruits.
No one knew who started the fight first, but after a few shouts and curses, the martial artists who were scrambling to pick the blood bodhi started fighting.
"How dare you, you shameless brat, sneak attack me!"
"You shameless old thief, how dare you occupy so many exotic fruits?"
"You youngster has no moral principles and is actually spreading poison to blind people!"
"Bullshit, I just spread lime..."
Some warriors fought fiercely, while others did not want to fight, thinking that this cave was so big and there were so many forks, why bother hanging on this tree? Go somewhere else as soon as possible, maybe you can find more exotic fruits.
He then quietly called three or five companions and friends and flew to another fork in the road.
But there were more than one or two people who thought this way. Many people had this idea, so many people rushed into other forks one after another, and then inevitably collided with each other, and conflicts arose because of the dispute over the road...
The Buddhist martial arts masters , as well as a few secular masters who were friendly with Buddhism and wanted to lend a helping hand, did not participate in the fight for the exotic fruit. They only formed a formation around the fighting arena between the six monks and the evil monk Mao Tai, ready to help the six monks take down the evil monk with extraordinary martial arts skills.
But at this moment, a low and terrifying roar suddenly sounded from the dome of the cave.
Then, a blazing cloud of fire that illuminated the entire cave flew out from a hole in the cave dome and roared towards the battlefield...
After a moment.
Roaring, biting, screaming, and wailing sounds were heard in the cave.
There was chaos in the cave, and a senior monk roared like thunder: "How dare you, evil creature!"
There were also high monks who calmly issued an order: "All monks, nuns and believers, flee from here quickly. We will block their way and stop them!"
Mao Tai was also screaming: "What? Qilin? How can there be such a mythical beast in this world? Qilin is kind and benevolent, and can't bear to hurt even plants and ants. How can this monster kill people wantonly? This is clearly a demon Qilin! Don't force me, beast..."
In the chaos, some people fled towards the passage they came from, but more people were panicking and didn't know which fork they took...
