Volume 2: Secret Realm Reincarnation Chapter 188 The mantis stalks the cicada!
As Bai Yu's team escaped from the palace, in the Bai clan's space, as the sound of crackling continued to be heard, thirty soul jade slips shattered one after another, instantly attracting the attention of the Bai clan's great elder and others, making their expressions become extremely gloomy again!
"What happened? How come thirty of our tribesmen died in just a short moment?" The Bai tribe leader immediately sent a message to the tribesmen in the secret realm.
All the Bai people in the secret realm received the message, but most of them were in shock and did not understand what was going on. Only the survivors of Bai Yu's team knew about this.
"Chief, when our team entered the palace to snatch the jade box, a statue appeared that seemed to have intelligence and could burst out the power of a mid-stage spiritual infant. It disrupted our plans and caused us to suffer such heavy casualties!"
At this time, one of Bai Yu's team replied through voice transmission, and explained the whole process of snatching the jade box.
"A statue with intelligence? How is that possible!" The Bai tribe leader murmured in disbelief after receiving the message.
This secret realm has been opened more than ten times over tens of thousands of years. Every time, the Bai people would send their descendants to enter, but such a strange thing has never happened!
"Could it be that a powerful being has awakened in this secret realm?" A guess emerged in the Great Elder's mind, causing his expression to change slightly.
This secret realm was created by a powerful being above the third realm, so it is not impossible for a statue with intelligence to appear here. Perhaps this secret realm has its own will, but it has been dormant for tens of thousands of years and has only awakened now!
If this is true, the tribe’s journey to the secret realm this time will be even more dangerous!
The large number of tribe members who died this time might also be related to the awakening of this will!
There were a thousand Bai people who entered the secret realm this time, and about two hundred of them had died. This was a death toll that was difficult for them to accept!
"I boldly speculate that there may be a powerful will awakening in the secret realm. You must be more cautious and act within your capabilities!"
"Team Bai Yu, hurry up and heal your wounds and get away from this palace as soon as possible, otherwise other monks may appear!"
The Great Elder immediately informed the tribesmen in the secret realm about this matter, reminding them to be careful!
"The words of the Great Elder have given me an epiphany. No wonder this statue is so strange." The person who transmitted the message in Bai Yu's team immediately responded and did not forget to flatter him.
They couldn't figure out the reason for the appearance of this strange statue, but when they heard the great elder's speculation, they felt that it was indeed very likely.
The other Bai people in the secret realm were extremely shocked after hearing this. They never thought that there was a mysterious will in the secret realm, and that thirty of their people could be killed so easily!
If this will really exists, the danger in the secret realm will increase several times again!
This secret realm is inherently extremely dangerous. Every time it is opened, countless cultivators will die, and even the Bai people are no exception.
However, because of tens of thousands of years of exploration, the Bai people have a very good understanding of this secret realm, and the number of tribesmen lost each time is relatively small.
However, since the opening of this secret realm, about two hundred tribesmen have died, and it has only been a few months since the opening, and everyone is still on the third level. I am afraid that in the next four years or so, more tribesmen will die!
I have to say that the analysis of the Bai clan elder is indeed quite accurate. Although the Five Elements Venerable is not a presence in the secret realm, it can also be regarded as a will that suddenly appeared.
If the Five Elements Venerable had not appeared, Li Xuanfeng would not have been able to inflict heavy casualties on the team without being discovered.
I'm afraid he can only choose to give up this opportunity and continue to wait for a good opportunity to make a move.
The reason why Li Xuanfeng wanted to infiltrate the Bai tribe was because there were too many Bai tribe cultivators in the secret realm, and their combat power was too strong. If he was hunted down by them, he would be in great trouble.
The easiest way is to blend into the Bai people!
So Li Xuanfeng would rather give up the jade box than reveal his identity.
If we are exposed once and make the Bai people alert, it will be difficult to sneak in a second time.
At this time, there were only eleven people left in Bai Yu's team outside the palace, including Li Xuanfeng, and all ten of the Bai people were seriously injured.
At this moment, Li Xuanfeng slowly opened his eyes, as if he had just recovered from some injuries.
"Bai Hui, are you okay?" Several Bai people who were protecting the law immediately noticed that Li Xuanfeng had woken up and asked with concern.
"I'm fine, I'm just seriously injured. I'll be fine after a few days of recuperation." Li Xuanfeng answered weakly with gratitude in his eyes.
"That's good. I hope you recover soon." Seeing that Li Xuanfeng was fine, several people were quite happy and immediately advised him.
Most of their team died, and those who were left were all clansmen who had lived and died together. They were of course happy to see that Li Xuanfeng was okay.
Li Xuanfeng then took the healing pill again, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and absorbed spiritual energy to recover.
What the Bai people could not see was that at this moment, there was a cold and ruthless light flashing in Li Xuanfeng's closed eyes, and he was ready to take action!
Now Bai Yu is also seriously injured, and there are only ten seriously injured members left in the team. It is the best time to take action!
At this time, Li Xuanfeng's injuries caused by the statue's attack had recovered, and his spiritual power was secretly condensing!
But just when Li Xuanfeng was about to make a move, his ears suddenly moved, and the spiritual power he had just condensed immediately spread out again!
The several Bai people who were protecting the law also noticed it and suddenly looked upwards!
Suddenly, five monks flew out from a cave above, talking and laughing!
It was their laughter that Li Xuanfeng heard.
After the five people flew out, they immediately saw the palace below and Li Xuanfeng and others in front of the palace!
When the five people saw that Li Xuanfeng and his group were all covered in blood and most of them were sitting cross-legged recovering, they immediately knew that they were all injured!
"Hey, fellow Taoists, why are you injured?" A young man among the five people smiled and asked Li Xuanfeng and others below.
When the young man spoke, the five people did not stop, but slowly flew down from the air and approached Li Xuanfeng and others!
Obviously, these people had no intention of leaving!
Seeing these five people flying towards them, the guardians showed a hint of nervousness, but they didn't know how to respond.
At this moment, they were all covered in blood, and most of them were recovering from their injuries. I was afraid that no matter how I explained, these people would not believe it!
The guardians wanted to tell Bai Yu and the others, but they were afraid of disturbing them from recovering from their injuries.
When the five people saw the nervousness in the expressions of the guardians, they became more certain of their guess and their descent speed increased even more!
As they approached, Li Xuanfeng sensed the cultivation aura of these five people. They were all in the early stage of Spirit Infant!
Moreover, Li Xuanfeng also noticed that these five people did not have any Bai tribe marks on their foreheads!
This made Li Xuanfeng wonder again. These five people were not from the Bai tribe, so how could there be so many people in the Spirit Infant Realm gathered together?
A bold guess flashed through Li Xuanfeng's mind. In addition to the Bai people and the cultivators who entered from the Spiritual Continent, there were other forces!
Li Xuanfeng immediately thought of the Five Elements Venerable. He did not know about the Spiritual Continent, but he had also appeared in this secret realm!
I'm afraid these five people are monks who came from the planet where the Five Elements Venerable is!
After the five people fell some distance away, they also saw the scene inside the palace!
There were corpses and blood all over the ground, as well as three hundred statues near the palace gate, with ferocious red glow, staring at Li Xuanfeng and others outside the palace!
"You, stole the jade box?" A middle-aged man in black among the five people suddenly asked, with surprise and undisguised greed in his voice!
They were very familiar with this scene. The only thing that could alarm the three hundred statues was that the jade box was taken away!
And since three hundred statues were guarding the gate and staring at it ferociously, I'm afraid the jade box had been taken out of the palace!
"No, we failed in our attempt to snatch the jade box and lost a lot of teammates. We barely managed to escape from the palace." A guardian immediately explained, trying to deceive the five people.
"But we don't quite believe it. How about we search it?"
Apparently, the middle-aged man in black was not so easily fooled. He chuckled and continued to approach Li Xuanfeng and the others while speaking!
Of course, the search is not just to see if there is a jade box, other things will naturally not be returned!
"That's enough. If you want to search, do you need to ask Bai if he agrees?"
Just as the few people approached again, Bai Yu suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in a low voice, and at the same time, the aura of his cultivation burst out, causing the five people's faces to change slightly!
That is the aura of a middle-stage spiritual infant!
When Bai Yu shouted in a low voice, the few people who were originally sitting cross-legged to recover all stood up and burst out with the aura of their cultivation!
These five people felt the aura of cultivation from Bai Yu and the others, their faces changed, and they immediately stopped, not daring to move forward!
The five of them were only at the early stage of Spirit Infant cultivation. If the other party was only at the middle stage of Spirit Infant, they could still fight, but there were still ten cultivators here!
With their fighting power, they might be able to fight against a middle-stage Spirit Infant cultivator, but if there were ten more cultivators, they probably wouldn’t even have a chance to escape!
Even though these ten people were injured, they should not be underestimated!
Because they could sense that among these ten people, eight were in the early stage of Spirit Infant!
This is almost twice as many as they have, plus there is a middle-stage Spirit Infant!
"My fellow Taoists, I'm really sorry for any offense . Please forgive me!" The middle-aged man in black immediately clasped his fists and bowed, explaining with an apologetic tone.
As the middle-aged man in black was explaining, the five of them immediately retreated together and flew directly into a cave not far away!
When Bai Yu and his team saw the five men retreat, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were only five people on the other side, it was not appropriate for them to fight at this time!
Everyone was seriously injured, and their magic weapons were almost all destroyed. They were just barely suppressing their injuries and appearing strong!
Bai Yu also condensed his spiritual power and barely released the aura of a middle-stage Spiritual Infant. In fact, his combat power at this moment was only that of an early-stage Spiritual Infant!
"It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's quickly go into a cave and hide." Bai Yu conveyed the message to everyone.
In front of this empty palace, it is too exposed and easy to attract other monks. It will be much safer to enter the cave.
However, just as they were about to fly into the cave, the five people who had just escaped into the cave suddenly rushed out again and flew directly towards them!
"You are bluffing!" the middle-aged man in black suddenly spoke, his tone full of certainty!
