The Blood Ape charged forward almost madly.
Watching the Blood Ape rush over, the Cultivators from Ling Shou Sect could only fight while retreating.
The Blood Ape's combat power was simply too strong, so strong that they dared not confront it directly and could only use various means to try and hold it back.
"Boom!"
Seeing the methods these people used, the Blood Ape roared, its red fur instantly bristled, and a cloud of blood mist enveloped its body.
As the blood mist enveloped it, the Blood Ape's body grew even larger.
"Damn it, Fourth Brother, after this, you must give us an explanation."
The few of them complained while joining hands and running outwards.
At this moment, the Fourth Brother also had no choice but to clench his teeth and keep running.
Soon, the Blood Ape was led away by the four of them.
"Good, now it's our turn to act."
After the Blood Ape left with the four, Qin Xuan appeared silently at the cave entrance.
Looking at the cave ahead, Qin Xuan took a deep breath, then walked to the entrance.
Because the Blood Ape was several zhang tall, the cave was very large, making entry and exit very convenient.
Standing at the entrance, smelling the bloody scent wafting from inside, Qin Xuan frowned slightly.
"This Blood Ape must have killed many Spirit Beasts in this cave. As expected of a Blood Ape, its strength is truly immense."
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan clenched his fists and then strode inside.
He controlled the Taihuang Aura around his body, with electricity in one hand and Spiritual Fire in the other.
He didn't know if there were other things in the cave, so even though the Blood Ape had left, Qin Xuan didn't dare to be careless.
After all, if there were other things in the cave, it would be troublesome.
Therefore, being vigilant was not an issue for Qin Xuan.
The cave passage wound downwards, much deeper than Qin Xuan had imagined.
Following the cave passage, Qin Xuan went all the way down. After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Qin Xuan reached the deepest part of the cave.
The deepest part of the cave was a rather large space, but at this moment, the cave was filled with various Spirit Beast corpses and skeletons.
It seemed the Blood Ape brought its prey back here to eat every time.
His gaze swept around, but he found nothing.
"Strange, why is there no earth milk stone?"
"This shouldn't be. Those four must have known something to risk fighting the Blood Ape to search here."
"But now there's nothing here, which is too abnormal."
Qin Xuan touched his chin, a bit hesitant.
But it really looked like there was nothing here.
"Senior, could it be that those four were mistaken? Is there actually nothing here?"
Qin Xuan was a bit impatient.
"No, if it were really just like this, the Blood Ape wouldn't be so agitated. From what I understand, a Level Six Blood Ape's intelligence is not too low; they wouldn't do such a foolish thing."
"Moreover, earth milk stone is the essence that connects to the earth's veins. Cultivators consume it mostly to improve their cultivation."
"But this thing is even more valuable to Spirit Beasts. After eating earth milk stone, a Spirit Beast's intelligence will greatly improve, and even its physique will change accordingly."
"However, only Spirit Beasts above Level Six can eat this; otherwise, it's harmful, not beneficial. Therefore, from this perspective, this Blood Ape should have hidden this thing."
"Hidden it?"
Qin Xuan frowned, looking around, but found nothing.
"Since it's earth milk stone, this thing is essentially a good thing absorbed from the earth. Since it's absorbed from the earth, it should also appear underground."
Hearing this, Qin Xuan nodded slightly, a gleam in his eyes.
"That's right, since it's underground..."
Qin Xuan's heart stirred, and the Origin Pearl moved accordingly.
"Whoosh!"
A strong wind surged from his palm, instantly blowing away all the Spirit Beast corpses and skeletons in front.
Beneath the Spirit Beast corpses and skeletons, there was indeed a spot that was different from other places.
"It's here!"
Qin Xuan's heart stirred. He used Qi to manipulate the area, blowing away the surface layer of soil, revealing a black hole beneath.
"Indeed, there's another world beneath."
Qin Xuan was delighted and immediately used his Mental Energy to probe downwards.
"Damn it, luckily I didn't go down directly!"
Saying that, Qin Xuan took two steps back.
Below this hole was actually a deep pit full of poisonous insects.
Many Spirit Beast skeletons could be seen in the deep pit.
"This is a fake entrance. This Blood Ape is even smarter than I thought!"
Han Ye said.
The Blood Ape deliberately created a pit full of poisonous insects, wanting to trick outsiders into going down. However, Qin Xuan's Mental Energy was strong, and he probed with it in advance, which is why nothing happened.
"This thing is indeed intelligent."
Qin Xuan secretly clicked his tongue. He really hadn't expected this Blood Ape's intelligence to be so high.
"Since there's a fake entrance, there must be a real one."
Han Ye said confidently.
Qin Xuan was about to probe, but after thinking about it, he formed a wind vortex with Qi and wind, sweeping up the poisonous insects from the pit.
Then Qin Xuan put more than a dozen of the most poisonous insects into an insect cage, while the other poisonous insects were thrown back into the pit.
"Are you trying to refine Gu?"
Han Ye asked Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan nodded slightly.
"That's right, I also want to know if these Gu refining methods are correct."
Of course, he would not refine sinister things like the Nine Nether Corpse Gu.
He wanted to test several other types of Gu.
Thus, after putting away the poisonous insects, Qin Xuan continued to search for the real entrance.
After a while, Qin Xuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately swung his hand forward without hesitation.
"Boom!"
A rock instantly shattered. A moment later, a cave entrance appeared before Qin Xuan's eyes.
Looking at the pitch-black entrance, Qin Xuan also used his Mental Energy to probe it.
"No problem, this is it. I can feel wind inside."
As long as there was wind, it meant that it was connected to the outside world.
After confirming there was no danger inside, Qin Xuan strode in.
After entering, Qin Xuan illuminated the surroundings.
The passage wound downwards, and its spaciousness exceeded his expectations.
"Is this a karst cave?"
Looking at the intricate passages ahead, Qin Xuan frowned slightly.
Although the passage extended downwards, just ahead, the entire passage branched into dozens of forks at once.
The entire network of forks looked like a spider web, extending in all directions.
"Ah, which way should I go?"
Qin Xuan was a bit troubled. He really didn't know which direction to go.
There were simply too many forks ahead, so many that he didn't know which way to choose.
"Feel around and see which passage has stronger Spiritual Qi."
"earth milk stone is the essence of the earth's veins, and its attraction to Spiritual Qi is also extraordinary."
