At night, in a house on Pingdu mountain, Shen Jinghua and his three men were sitting together, discussing the plan of action for tomorrow.
Shen Jinghua looked at Shen huanchi and asked:
"Patriarch, what do you think of this?"
For a moment, Shen Ruiling and Shen Jinghua both looked at Shen huanchi and waited for the patriarch to express their opinions.
After noticing the eyes of uncle and nephew Shen Jinghua, Shen huanchi couldn''t help laughing, and then said seriously:
"The specific situation is not very clear. We can''t get more information until we enter the mountain tomorrow, but I feel that the strength of this demon Python may be more than third-order inferior. We''d better be more careful!"
"In addition, python monsters are mostly gregarious monsters, good at using water magic power, and are likely to be highly toxic.
Now a third-order demon Python appears here. There should be a snake cave. This is the place we are looking for this time.
So we should make more preparations before entering the mountain, just in case!
……
”
After listening to Shen huanchi''s words, uncle and nephew Shen Jinghua couldn''t help nodding. It was obvious that they agreed very much.
The patriarch has practiced Taoism for more than 100 years, and his understanding and fighting experience of monsters are far better than them, so in a few words, he predicted the possible dangers they might face in advance.
Shen Jinghua thought for a moment and said:
"In this way, I will prepare a few more arrays to restrain water monsters and deal with the group attack of demon snakes.
Ruiling, see if you can refine some antidote pills overnight. Just ask the Liu family for the materials! "
"No problem, uncle Liu, I''ll prepare now!"
With that, Shen Ruiling got up and left and asked Liu Taiyang for the elixir.
After knowing the identity of Shen Ruiling''s third-order alchemist and helping them refine the antidote pill, Liu Taiyang immediately agreed, and soon arranged for his people to send all the miraculous drugs for refining the antidote pill to Shen Ruiling''s door.
After receiving these miraculous pills, Shen Ruiling immediately began to continuously refine pills, hoping to refine more second-order detoxification pills before dawn.
……
Early in the morning the next day, Shen Jinghua, together with more than 100 people, entered the mountain forest and began to carefully search for the trace of the third-order demon python.
The mountain range behind the Liu family can only be regarded as the branch of a small Qingyun Mountain. However, although this branch is far from the main vein of Qingyun, it also covers an area of more than hundreds of miles, and the mountains are high and dense, so it is very difficult to search deeply.
Now Shen Jinghua has brought the hundred people into the mountains, but it is still a drop in the bucket. The hundred and ten people soon disappeared into the vast mountains.
In an open space in the mountains, Shen Jinghua gathered the people together, and then began to give orders.
He looked at Shen Ruiling and Shen huanchi, and then said:
"Clan leader, Ruiling, the mountains and forests here stretch for hundreds of miles. If we gather together, we don''t know what year and month to search!"
After hearing this, Shen huanchi subconsciously looked around, looked at the dense jungle around, and said in a deep voice:
"What are you going to do?"
"My idea is that the three of us each lead a team, and then search in three different directions. As long as one person finds something, he will contact the other two immediately!
In this way, we can not only increase the search scope, but also show the enemy''s weakness and try to lure the demon Python hidden in the dark! "
After hearing Shen Jinghua''s idea, Shen huanchi and Shen Ruiling couldn''t help looking at each other, and a look of meditation flashed in their eyes.
The third-order monsters have generally turned on their intelligence, and their IQ is almost the same as that of teenagers.
If a group of them stay together all the time and the pressure of the three foundation building friars is there, they will naturally scare the demon Python out, so they can only disperse and lure the demon Python to attack them!
After thinking for a moment, Shen huanchi nodded slowly:
"Now we can only do this, but we are likely to be attacked by demon snakes after we are separated. Remember not to act alone at that time!"
When the voice fell, Shen huanchi looked at Shen Ruiling and sternly warned:
"Especially you, if you find something strange, you must inform me and your sixth uncle. You can''t rashly track it alone!"
Seeing that the patriarch specifically explained himself, Shen Ruiling''s face couldn''t help showing a smile, and immediately accepted it.
"I see, patriarch!"
……
Seeing this scene, Shen Jinghua couldn''t help but show a smile on his face, and then began to order him to divide the hundred people into three teams.
After the team was divided, uncle and nephew Shen Jinghua and Shen huanchi led a team to search in three different directions.
Shen Ruiling led this team of about 20 people, most of whom were friars of a family. Except for five or six friars in the later stage of Qi practice, most of them had only the cultivation achievements in the middle stage of Qi practice.
Looking at the more than 20 people under his command, Shen Ruiling couldn''t help but sigh about the details of these families in Pingzhou.
This is just a small Qi training family, but it can easily summon 20 monks in the middle and late stage of Qi training overnight, which is unimaginable in Linhai county. Only the four foundation building families in Linhai county have such courage!
After a simple sigh, Shen Ruiling stopped thinking about him and began to command the people to search separately.
In this way, more than 20 people scattered into a fan, with Shen Ruiling as the center, began to get close to the depths of the dense forest. Shen Ruiling explored all his divine consciousness and shrouded the surrounding area of 50 feet under his divine consciousness. While protecting these Qi practicing monks, he was also constantly searching for the trace of demon python.
Half an hour later, suddenly a friar of a small family seemed to find something and shouted at the people.
"Elder, look here!"
Seeing Shen Ruiling coming towards him, the friar quickly pointed to a rock and said.
Looking in the direction of his fingers, Shen Ruiling saw a special mark on the rock, which seemed like a willow leaf.
"This is the mark of my Liu family!"
I saw that a middle-aged man dressed in Liu family clothes shouted out after seeing the mark.
The middle-aged man, named Liu Shijie, is practicing Qi on the ninth floor. He is one of the few senior managers of the Liu family. He was arranged by Shen Jinghua to help Shen Ruiling.
After hearing his words, Shen Ruiling looked directly at him and asked in a deep voice:
"Are you sure?"
"You can''t be wrong to report it to the elder!"
After getting his affirmation, Shen Ruiling looked at the mark and meditated.
Judging from the depth of the mark engraved into the rock, the other party must be a foundation friar. Combined with the information just now, it is not difficult to guess that the mark should be left by the dead Liu family leader.
According to Liu Taiyang, the head of the Liu family was killed when he went up the mountain to search for the demon python. Now he found his mark on the mountain. What does this represent?
After a few breaths, Shen Ruiling''s eyes shot a sharp cold light. He took his eyes away from the mark, looked around and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone spread out, take this place as the center, look around carefully, and see if there is such a mark around!"
"Yes!"
After receiving Shen Ruiling''s instructions, more than 20 people searched around.
