Chapter 311 It's worth going down and taking a look.
"The outside world is much crueler than you know. The more you experience outside, the more you will learn." Si Nansheng patted Nan Qingfeng on the shoulder with a serious expression, leaving Nan Qingfeng completely bewildered.
Ye Yanqing and the others couldn't help but laugh when they saw Si Nansheng's expression.
Although the junior sister's actions might seem a bit funny, she was telling the truth.
"Next, shall we go to the village, or continue the search?" Bai Ye asked softly.
“Keep searching. Even if those children were abandoned, if they are still alive, we will definitely find them. But if they are dead, their remains will surely be somewhere.”
Ye Yanqing glanced at the villagers hiding behind him. If they went back now, it would definitely arouse the villagers' suspicion.
Si Nansheng was very curious to know what methods these villagers had to kill these cultivators.
Of course, she knew that now was not the time to play around.
"Shaoyu, we'll have to trouble you to go to the village and take a look. Here, take these and record what they say. We'll bring them back when we get back."
Si Nansheng stuffed a bunch of memory stones into Shao Yu's arms and told her to go back to the village. Shao Yu understood Si Nansheng's meaning, put away the memory stones, and disappeared into the shadows.
After pretending to rest for a while, Ye Yanqing led everyone to continue their search.
Si Nansheng lay on Wen Luoya's back, looking around.
"Senior Brother Ye, we've found some remains." Meng Feifei's voice came from the communication jade slip.
"How many?" Ye Yanqing asked, taking out a communication jade slip.
"I roughly looked at them and there were about a dozen skeletons, all of them adult remains."
Ye Yanqing looked at Si Nansheng. The human remains were very likely those people who had been dealt with by Hai Rui.
"Alright, search again. If you find nothing, take the remains back first."
"it is good."
"Senior Brother, there's a strange smell." Wen Luoya stopped and twitched his nose.
"What does it smell like?" Si Nansheng asked, peeking out of his mouth.
"The smell of rotting corpses." Wen Luoya looked in the direction from which the stench was coming.
The group walked in that direction, and soon a deep crevice appeared before them.
"The smell is coming from down here," Wen Luoya pointed to the crevice.
Ye Yanqing took out a talisman and threw it down; the burning talisman illuminated the environment inside the mountain crevice.
But all they could see were some protruding rocks and stone pillars; they didn't see anything else.
"It's too deep, let's go down and take a look." Ye Yanqing said, and jumped down.
The others followed suit, jumping down and avoiding the rocks and pillars as they descended into the crevice.
"It feels a bit hot." After descending to a certain distance, Mo Lie felt a wisp of hot air blowing up from below.
As they descended deeper and deeper, the temperature rose higher and higher until a fiery red lava appeared before them, at which point they stopped.
"It's so deep here?" Mo Yu looked up at the mountain crevice that seemed to have no top.
"I didn't feel anything up there, but it's still just lava down there? Second Senior Brother, is the stench you mentioned coming from here?" Si Nansheng asked Wen Luoya.
“No, the stench disappeared when we were about halfway down.” Wen Luoya shook his head directly.
"Shall we go down?" Mo Yu looked at the bright red patch at his feet.
"There are some spiritual plants down there that can only be nurtured in high temperatures. If you need them, you can go down and take a look," Ye Xiuran reminded Si Nansheng.
"With such a high temperature, there must be spiritual plants, right? Why don't we go down and take a look?" Si Nansheng thought that since Ye Xiuran had said so, there must really be something there.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to go down and take a look, right?
"Let's go down and take a look. Perhaps there are spiritual plants that will be useful to Mo Yu." Ye Yanqing summoned his spiritual sword and stood steadily on it.
The others also summoned their spirit swords, controlling them as they cautiously approached the lava below.
Sure enough, many fire-attribute spiritual plants grew luxuriantly around the lava, and there were even a few lotus flowers radiating multicolored light in the lava.
Beneath the lotus flower was a thin layer of flame, like feathers.
The flames supported the colorful lotus, allowing it to rest steadily on the lava.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, what is that?" Si Nansheng stared at the five-colored lotus with shining eyes. This lotus is so beautiful!
"Could this be the Five-Colored Immortal Lotus?" Ye Yanqing was about to say she didn't know when Mo Yu's shocked voice rang out first.
"A five-colored fairy lotus?" Everyone looked over in confusion.
I want to know what's going on with this five-colored fairy lotus.
"I've only seen introductions in ancient books; I've never actually seen one."
Ancient books record that the five-colored fairy lotus grows in the hottest environment and emits five-colored light.
"Forging one's body with the Five-Colored Immortal Lotus can make one invulnerable to swords and spears, but I don't know if that's true."
Mo Yu began to explain, and Si Nansheng, who had initially been quite interested, immediately lost interest upon hearing that it was for body tempering.
The Great Evolution Bone Tempering Technique she is currently cultivating is used to temper her body. Even without this Five-Colored Immortal Lotus, she can quickly cultivate a physique that is impervious to swords and spears.
"Junior Sister, do you want it?" Ye Yanqing looked at Si Nansheng, who hesitated.
This thing looks nice, but it doesn't seem to be of much use to her.
Moreover, the temperature around that five-colored fairy lotus is so high, they would definitely get burned if they got close, right?
"Let's harvest the spiritual plants we can get close to first. We'll deal with the ones that are harder to get close to later." Ye Yanqing noticed Si Nansheng's hesitation and smiled at her.
“Okay.” Si Nansheng jumped off Wen Luoya’s back and quickly picked the spiritual plants around them.
While Si Nansheng and his group were still harvesting spiritual plants, Meng Feifei and her group had already returned with a pile of corpses.
Hua Lianyi's team found nothing and is still searching.
Liu Xuewei and her group, on the other hand, headed directly towards the small cave they had visited earlier.
This time, they destroyed the cave entrance and walked in openly, while Hai Rui watched from the shadows as they searched the cave.
After searching around, they found nothing except some traces of where someone had stayed.
Liu Xuewei's eyes turned red with anger: "It should be here, how could it not be?"
Seeing that Liu Xuewei's temper was getting more and more irritable, Su Heng and Lei Ming consciously slowed down and kept their distance from her.
Shen Jingyuan and Yang Pengkun went straight up to her and comforted her from both sides.
"Junior Sister, don't worry, the thing you're looking for is definitely still here. Let's look again." Shen Jingyuan put his arm around Liu Xuewei's shoulder to comfort her.
"That's right, that's right. We've searched the cave, but we haven't searched the water yet, have we? Let's send someone down to take a look. Maybe that thing knew we were coming and hid in the water?"
Yang Pengkun rudely pushed Shen Jingyuan aside, then held Liu Xuewei in his arms to comfort her, completely ignoring Shen Jingyuan's murderous glare.
Although the other disciples did not show it as obviously as Shen Jingyuan and Yang Pengkun, they all comforted Liu Xuewei.
Finally, two disciples with water attributes jumped into the water, and Liu Xuewei's expression improved somewhat.
