Xiao Yuchen wasn't frightened.
He often went up the mountain to cut down some dead trees to use as firewood.
His master was already quite old when he was alive, and his junior sister was a woman.
Therefore, he took on all the rough work himself.
Although Xiao Yuchen is quite scheming, his character is not bad, and he takes good care of his junior sister.
Moreover, he waited until his master passed away before he planned to leave.
Having been stifled here for seven or eight years, he harbored quite a bit of resentment.
"It's getting dark, let's go back and come back tomorrow!"
As it grew darker, Wen Qingqing became even more frightened.
"No need to look anymore, there's no spiritual vein here at all."
"I think your 'Cloud-Dispelling Palm' is definitely going to lose to me."
Xiao Yuchen said to Li Yao with considerable confidence.
He kept the 'Cloud-Dispelling Palm' in his mind and hoped that Li Yao would not be able to find the spiritual vein.
You're probably the one who'll lose!
"Just wait and see if you'll become my disciple!"
Li Yao smiled.
His gaze fell on an inconspicuous little hole.
He could sense an unusual aura emanating from the cave entrance.
The aura here was extremely sinister and eerie, completely at odds with the geological formations of the area.
Based on his understanding of feng shui, this eerie aura shouldn't have belonged here; rather, it was deliberately left here by someone.
Without thinking twice, he punched the entrance of the cave.
A loud bang was heard, the rocks shattered, and a cloud of dust billowed up.
After the smoke and dust cleared, a huge cave was revealed.
"This place is hidden in such a huge cave!"
Xiao Yuchen exclaimed in surprise.
He had been here several times before, but had never discovered the cave.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Li Yao went in first.
Xiao Yuchen followed without hesitation.
Wen Qingqing hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and followed him inside.
Behind the Fire Qilin Palace.
This put Wen Qingqing at ease.
After some time getting to know it, Wen Qingqing learned that the monster was called the Fire Qilin.
Moreover, although the fire qilin looks fierce and terrifying, it is actually very docile.
Wen Qingqing even found the Fire Qilin somewhat cute.
Therefore, the Fire Qilin brings her a lot of sense of security.
The cave was gloomy and filled with a thick, stale air that made it hard to breathe.
As soon as she entered the cave, Wen Qingqing shivered, a chill running down her spine, as if she had seen a ghost.
The cave was very deep, and we walked for a long time without reaching the end.
The somewhat timid Wen Qingqing repeatedly suggested going back and looking again tomorrow.
However, both Li Yao and Xiao Yuchen are adventurous people.
They were all eager to find out what secrets were hidden inside the cave.
"Everyone be careful, there's something ahead!"
As Li Yao walked ahead, he could feel the sinister aura growing stronger and stronger.
"Senior brother, let's go back. This place is too scary."
Wen Qingqing looked around in fear, her hair standing on end.
"Junior sister, don't be afraid. With your senior brother here, everything will be alright."
Although Xiao Yuchen said that, she was starting to feel uneasy.
"What a huge scorpion!"
Li Yao suddenly spoke up.
Xiao Yuchen shone the torch in her hand over, and was immediately terrified, her face turning deathly pale. She staggered back several steps.
Not far ahead, there was a very spacious stone chamber.
Inside the stone chamber, there was a giant scorpion as tall as a person, its body emitting a faint purple glow that sent chills down one's spine.
"ah!"
Wen Qingqing also saw the giant scorpion and was so frightened that she fainted.
"Junior sister, junior sister..."
Xiao Yuchen quickly helped Wen Qingqing up and pinched her philtrum hard, which finally woke Wen Qingqing up.
"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a scorpion."
Li Yao smiled calmly.
"It wasn't just a scorpion, there were snakes, centipedes..."
Wen Qingqing's face was deathly pale, filled with fear. She truly regretted coming in.
In fact, Li Yao had already discovered that, in addition to the giant scorpion, there was also a giant snake, a giant centipede, a giant spider, and a giant toad.
Moreover, he discovered that these five poisonous creatures formed a Five Elements formation based on the positions of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.
Could this be the 'Five Poisons Formation'?
Chapter 306 Breaking the Five Poisons Formation
Li Yao was searching for the spiritual veins of Tianyu Mountain when he unexpectedly encountered giant scorpions, snakes, centipedes, spiders, and toads.
These five poisonous creatures, arranged according to the directions of the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams, form a Five Elements Formation.
Therefore, Li Yao judged that this was the Five Poisons Formation.
Of course, this was his first reaction; he didn't even know if the Five Poisons Formation actually existed in this world.
I wonder just how powerful this Five Poisons Formation really is.
However, the presence of these five giant poisonous creatures reveals that this Five Poisons Formation is far from simple.
Just then, the giant toad spotted Li Yao, and its bulging eyes emitted two beams of emerald light.
"not good!"
"Little Fire, take the two of them and back off."
Li Yao felt a chill and quickly waved his right hand behind him.
A surge of energy swept up Xiao Yuchen and Wen Qingqing, who were already terrified, and placed them on the back of the fire qilin.
At the same time, five venomous creatures, including a giant scorpion, trapped Li Yao with lightning speed.
They remained in their respective five positions, maintaining the Five Elements formation, and stared intently at Li Yao.
"ah……"
Amidst screams, Wen Qingqing opened her eyes and found herself and her senior brother already sitting on the back of the Fire Qilin, which brought her a little relief.
However, she saw that Li Yao was surrounded by five giant poisonous creatures, a terrifying and extremely dangerous scene.
The giant scorpion's venomous tail swayed in the air, gleaming with an eerie purple light, poised to attack Li Yao at any moment.
The giant snake kept flicking its scarlet tongue, sending chills down one's spine.
The giant centipede has countless huge legs, each as thick as a human wrist, which is quite frightening.
The giant spider has eight enormous legs, as tall as a person, and most strangely, it even has a human face.
The giant toad's enormous mouth throbbed incessantly, and its two huge eyes emitted an eerie, emerald-green light that sent chills down one's spine.
"Brother Li, run!"
Wen Qingqing shouted at Li Yao.
She was already pale with fright and couldn't help but worry about Li Yao.
"It's no use. These five poisonous creatures have trapped him in the Five Elements Formation."
"He must break through the formation first if he wants to escape."
"However, these five venomous creatures are so huge that they must have cultivated for at least several hundred years. I'm afraid he won't be able to escape."
Although Xiao Yuchen was also scared, he was calmer than Wen Qingqing.
"What should we do? Should we help him out?"
Wen Qingqing was worried about the tunnel.
"Help? How can we help?"
“Over the past few years, we have learned nothing and are no different from ordinary people. In the past, we would only have been sent to our deaths.”
Xiao Yuchen shook her head.
