Chapter 111: The Statue and the Box (Third Update Seeking Monthly Tickets)

  Su Che had just taken Fei Yun and Zheng Rong into the Xian prison, when sixteen pursuers appeared from the forest.

  "Weren't there three people? How come there's only one left?" someone whispered.

  His sharp eyes narrowed, staring at Su Che as he guessed: "The other two may have entered that stone forest, but the three of them are led by this guy, so the treasure is likely to be with him."

  "This is good." The others put their minds at ease and formed a semicircular formation, surrounding Su Che from all sides.

  Su Che, however, was facing away from them, his demeanor carefree as if he were pointing at the mountains and rivers. He pointed at the stone forest in front of him and said to the crowd behind him, "I think that within the stone forest, risks and benefits coexist. I plan to go in and explore it a bit. If you all have the same intention, then let's head there together."

  As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed and quickly darted into the stone forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

  He also went in

  The pursuers stopped in unison at the foot of the hill, but none of them were as bold as Su Che. This stone forest composed of totemic stone pillars was obviously extraordinary, how could they take risks lightly?

  However, there are still people who think that since he dares to enter, they themselves are not inferior either. Entering the Small Mysterious Immortal Realm is not something that only cautious and prudent individuals can survive in...

  "Shall we continue the chase?" someone asked.

  At once someone with a bold temper replied: "Of course we should chase after him. With him leading the way in front, what is there to fear?"

  "Right, if we're going to die, he'll be the first to die, and we can just collect his corpse."

  "Hurry up, if you hesitate again, he'll be gone."

  "I'll go in first, those who don't dare can wait outside"

  Whoosh, three figures went in first, the others hesitated for a moment before plucking up their courage and followed them in. Seven people had entered, leaving five behind who stopped dead in their tracks with Master Eight Trigrams, not daring to venture inside.

  Especially the Eight Trigrams Brow Cultivator, a terrifying scene of the man-eating vines sucking brain marrow appeared in his mind, and he coldly hummed: "The place he dares to enter, you may not necessarily be able to."

  He sat cross-legged on the ground, starting to regulate his true energy. To be sure, from the moment he descended the heavenly ladder, he had been following Su Che's back, while others on the mountain top were slightly recovering their true energy, but he was facing the embarrassing situation of true energy depletion, where did he have the courage to chase into the stone forest?

  After swallowing a dan pill, the true energy quietly circulated, and just as he had stabilized his mind, an abnormal change suddenly occurred after only a dozen or so breaths.

  Splash

  Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

  More than a dozen emerald green vines suddenly sprang out of the ground, shooting up into the air with lightning speed, and in an instant, they had wrapped themselves around the completely defenseless Eight Trigrams Eyebrowed Monk.

  These vines are exactly the same as those murderous vines outside the cave on the mountain, and even spiritual flying swords cannot cause any harm to them. They can even instantly strangle low-grade spiritual defensive artifacts.

  "My life is at an end"

  The eight-character eyebrow repairer let out a sorrowful cry, thinking that he had stayed in the same place for too long and was being punished by some kind of mysterious power.

  Whoosh

  More than a dozen vines exerted an irresistible force, pulling him into the ground in an instant, leaving behind only a deep pit.

  The other five people waiting here were frightened and ran away. Their thoughts were the same as those of the Eight-Browed Monk, thinking that they had stayed in the same place for too long and suffered the punishment of a mysterious power.

  Little did they know, the eight-character eyebrowed monk had already entered another space.

  Boom

  In the Xian prison, the eight-character eyebrows that were tied up by more than a dozen vines fell heavily to the ground and were trampled on the head by Lao Hei.

  "I hate you, you son of a bitch who harms others without benefiting yourself."

  The old black man smiled and began his interrogation...

  What's going on? How did the Eight Trigrams Brow Cultivator get caught by Su Che and thrown into the Heavenly Prison?

  At first, when he was in the mountain cave, Su Che obtained those top-grade refining materials and was about to leave the cave entrance. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he wanted to try to transplant this vine into the Xian prison for a few roots.

  These vines are quite powerful, and it's estimated that even a casual one would pose an enormous threat to foundation-building cultivators, being equivalent to a high-grade spiritual rope.

  So Su Che tried to use Hei Shi Qing Liu to communicate with them, sending his own thoughts and expressing this meaning.

  It was just an attempt, without expecting them to understand their own thoughts, and not having too much hope, but unexpectedly, suddenly more than a dozen vines actively entwined themselves around him, and their roots had automatically come out of the mud.

  Undoubtedly, they had an extremely affectionate and trusting feeling towards Heishi Qingliu, and immediately agreed to Su Che's request.

  Su Che was overjoyed and put away a dozen or so vines into the Xian prison, planning to plant them next to the black giant stone.

  But unexpectedly, these vines felt the presence of the black boulder and, as if frightened, crawled cautiously on the ground, winding their way forward for over a dozen zhang before finally daring to take root and settle down.

  Once inside the Xianyu, they became the creatures of the Xianyu. Su Che and Lao Hei, as the masters of the Xianyu, could hear the voices of all living beings, no matter how ordinary or mundane, even a small blade of grass.

  So, it was known that these vines saw the black boulder as if they had seen the gods they believed in. Although extremely happy, they were also extremely humble and did not dare to get too close to the black stone, and had to keep a safe distance to avoid desecrating the divine power.

  At the same time, I also knew that these vines had extremely strong vitality. The roots would not die even if they left the soil for several months. Therefore, it was possible to take out the Xianyu at any time to deal with the enemy.

  Just now, Su Che pretended to enter the Stone Forest, but actually swallowed a Earth Concealment Pill and sneaked to the side of the Eight Trigrams Eyebrow Cultivator, released vines to drag him alive into the underground, and then captured him in the Immortal Prison...

  When it comes to swallowing the Earth Escape Pill, Su Che was also taking a great risk. According to the experience and insights of his predecessors, using the Earth Escape Technique is more dangerous than using the Flight Technique, and will be regarded as a cultivator by the Small Mysterious Realm, because the Earth Escape Technique belongs to the divine powers that only Golden Elixir Cultivators possess.

  So, when taking the Earth Escape Pill, Su Che covered his entire body with Black Stone Clear Flow, betting that the black giant stone was a treasure of the Witch Clan. In this way, its energy would also be recognized by the Witch Clan's sacred land, and it wouldn't treat itself as a cultivator.

  As expected, I won again!

  This way, Su Che's heart was even more at ease. Perhaps it was because of the Black Stone Clear Flow that the Xiao Mi Xian Jing, this witch tribe sacred land, treated him as one of their own kind. As long as his actions weren't too excessive, he shouldn't suffer the punishment of the sacred land's guardian power.

  Of course, this is just speculation, and the actual situation will need to be verified step by step. There must be risks involved, so much so that until now, Su Che has not dared to take out the Moxian Command Flag, fearing it would trigger unpredictable massive changes. They can only proceed one step at a time, and the Moxian Command Flag absolutely cannot be revealed until the critical moment...

  At this moment, Lao Hei was punching Ba Zi Mei while asking: "Master, now that we've caught this guy, what about the others?"

  "This time, the main goal is to explore the treasure. If not necessary, try not to fight with others." Su Che replied: "Of course, if someone insists on picking a fight, our immortal prison has never been afraid of having more people, and will definitely leave him a place."

  "That's right." Old Hei laughed and asked again: "Shilin, are you really going to explore this stone forest?"

  "Go take a look. As I said just now, risks and benefits coexist, there must be some passages in this stone forest."

  Taking advantage of the remaining power of the Dan medicine, Su Che once again sneaked back into the Stone Forest and instead followed behind the ten people who were chasing after him, letting them clear the way for himself. In an instant, the roles of hunter and prey had completely reversed.

  In the stone forest, the thick and heavy totemic stone pillars are scattered and disorderly distributed. From the perspective of a cultivator, it is really impossible to discern any rules among them. Because the culture of the ancient witch tribe was originally incompatible with that of humans, and besides, it had already disappeared for millions of years, so there is no way to investigate it now.

  Su Che followed slowly and steadily behind, no need to use his eyes to see, relying on Lao Hei's probing ability, he could clearly observe the movements of those people dozens of feet ahead.

  Those ten people cautiously moved forward, circling around each stone pillar, maintaining a stable distance from one another.

  I thought this stone forest should be full of crises, but after walking for more than a quarter of an hour, no danger was encountered at all. Soon, everyone arrived at the central area of the stone forest.

  The central area was surprisingly a vast and flat land, about thirty zhang square in size. In the very center stood a three-zhang-tall statue of a woman kneeling on the ground with her eyes closed, praying to heaven.

  The statue doesn't look particularly special, still in the ancient and simple style of the Wu tribe, with rough facial features that aren't very delicate. However, the offerings placed in front of the statue make everyone's eyes light up.

  In front of the statue, on the altar, there was a box and six plates. The plates were all empty, probably offerings of food or something similar, which had long since rotted away to nothing. However, the box in the middle was closed, who knows what treasure might be inside.

  Or perhaps this deep green box itself is some kind of treasure.

  Ten treasure hunters gathered together, all staring at the box with shining eyes, no one remembered to search for Su Che, however, they didn't lose their minds either, and for a while, they didn't dare to approach the statue rashly.

  "What's going on? Who dares to go and take a look?" someone whispered.

  Others remained silent, no one was foolish enough to be the first to speak up.

  Suppose that there is no danger near the statue and the box is indeed a treasure, then the first person to take the treasure will inevitably be suspected of being greedy and become the target of joint attack by others, and the outcome does not need to be said.

  Ten people looked at me, I looked at them, no one wanted to be the first to make a move, so the scene temporarily froze.

  At this moment, Su Che was hiding behind a stone pillar and saw all these scenes through Lao Hei's transmission.

  "No need to rush, can't rush... " Su Che said to himself in his heart: "It's only the first day, and I have to stay in Xiaomixianjing for a month, there is plenty of time."

  The more such moments, the more you want to control the greed and impatience in your heart, and try to be the last yellow sparrow to appear.
