Chapter 33 - Captured
The black shadows were extremely fast, but what was even more weird was their movements, blurred like a puff of smoke, unable to distinguish their figures.
Seeing the black shadow rushing towards him, Zhou Shu stretched out his hand, and two Thunderstorm Talismans came out and exploded in front of him.
At the same time, he leapt back.
But You Jing next to him was at a loss, carrying a huge bucket on his back, as stunned as a log.
"Small tricks."
With a sneer, Hei Ying went straight through the thunder and grabbed it out of thin air.
Zhou Shu froze all over, suppressed by the sudden huge pressure, unable to release his spiritual power, and the ivy talisman in his hand became a display, so he had to let the black shadow lift him up, and then lost consciousness.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Shu woke up slowly.
With a splitting headache, he tried to hold back his silence, his body was numb, and he felt a little dull, as if he had been drugged. But fortunately, within the controllable range.
The air was gloomy and cold, and the surroundings were pitch black, like it was late at night, but counting the time, he must not have fainted for so long, and he should be in a cave somewhere.
A huge bucket was placed in front of him, and You Jing lay beside the bucket, motionless, not knowing whether he was dying or dying.
thump, thump——
A few light footsteps came from not far away.
Zhou Shu, who had fully opened Qi meridians, had better eyesight and hearing than ordinary cultivators. When he heard the sound, he immediately held his breath and concentrated, and did not move at all.
The two mask repairers approached slowly, glanced at Zhou Shu who was lying on the ground, and said contemptuously, "This guy seems to be meeting him for the third time. He was very vigilant, but he still caught him, haha."
"It's ridiculous that a casual cultivator on the second floor of the Qi Refining Realm can escape from our Wuzhi Mountain."
"Last time I saw it was at the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, and it's pretty fast. By the way, have you fed the Qishen Pill?"
"certainly."
The cultivator looked up, and there were many cultivators lying down not far away, all of them were pale, absent-minded, and unconscious.
"Feed it every day to maintain the efficacy of the medicine. This Xishen Pill is not comparable to those pills from the Demon Sect, and the effect is not that good."
"Know."
"Catch three more, and we'll have a full number of people. When the time comes, the master will set up a fire refining formation and collect their spirits. We will all have great benefits."
"Haha, the hard days are coming to an end, work harder these days and try to get them all together."
The two laughed for a while and went out along the way they came.
When the two of them were far away, Zhou Shu quietly sat up, looked around, and was startled.
The cave was pitch-black and very spacious. Looking closely, the ground was full of unconscious cultivators lying here and there. There were nearly eighty people, both male and female.
shocking.
Being in this place for no reason can't help but make people's hair stand on end.
But Zhou Shu didn't react too much, thinking quietly.
"Most of these people are scattered cultivators who have disappeared, and they were all caught here unexpectedly. What is the fire refining formation that the masked cultivator said..."
After thinking about it, I know that it is definitely not a good formation. These casual cultivators, including myself, will be in danger for all of them.
We must find a way to leave quickly.
You Jing next to him was still in a deep sleep. Zhou Shu fiddled with him a few times but there was no movement. When he opened his eyelids, his pupils were loose and dull.
"It should be because of the eclipse pill. Taking it every day, these cultivators temporarily lost their sanity and couldn't wake up. But why did I wake up?"
Zhou Shu didn't find it strange, but after a little exercise of his spiritual power, he understood a little bit.
He could feel the remaining medicinal power in his body, but the amount was very small, not enough to lose his mind. Obviously, most of the medicinal power was lost in the broken Qi veins, which did not have a major impact on him.
"It's unexpected that the Qi veins are damaged, but it's a good thing at this time..."
The damaged Qi meridian makes it difficult to absorb spiritual energy, and it is useless to take pills without control, but at the same time, poisons and medicines have no effect on him.
After numerous deductions, Zhou Shu knew his body well. It took more than half an hour to force out the remaining medicine in his body. His mind became much clearer, and his body returned to normal.
He lay back as he was and began to think.
There is only one exit from the cave, and it doesn't look far away, but it doesn't seem so easy to escape.
The two black shadows who caught him and You Jing before were obviously much higher than him, at least they were cultivators above the sixth level of Qi Refining Realm, not to mention the master they talked about, he would only be stronger than them If you go out rashly, you may be discovered, and if you are caught again, the consequences will be unimaginable.
And when he was arrested, all the talismans and other things he carried were searched clean, except for the green vine talisman in his hand, there was nothing else.
There is almost no chance of winning if you meet the mask repairer head-on.
But there is still time. Judging from the words of the mask repairer, they seem to have to gather the number of people before starting to form the formation. It is not a matter of a day or two.
After thinking about it, Zhou Shu got up slowly, and followed the unconscious cultivators one by one.
"Everyone, don't blame me. I'll find out if there is a means of escape. After I escape, I will find someone to rescue you."
I searched around, but found very little, here are all casual cultivators, and they have been searched by mask cultivators, basically there is nothing left. Except for three hairpins that look like gold and jade, there is nothing else.
He put away the gold hairpin, lay back on the spot, and after a while, he had some thoughts.
Those mask cultivators would come every day to feed these casual cultivators with eclipse pills to maintain the effect of the medicine. At that time, it seemed that there was only one cultivator, maybe it could...
Time passed, and in the dark and damp cave, it was as quiet as night, except for the sound of water dripping from time to time, breaking the silence.
thump——
The sound of footsteps gradually came, and there was only one person.
The mask cultivator who came in scanned it with a gloomy gaze, and found nothing unusual, so he took out a jade bottle, walked in from the door, and fed each of the cultivators who were lying down with Xishen pills.
Zhou Shu held the golden hairpin tightly in his right hand, relaxed his whole body, and waited for the opportunity to come.
Not long after, the mask repairer walked up to Zhou Shu.
"snort."
He gave Zhou Shu a disdainful look, leaned down, and put his right hand on Zhou Shu's chin. The jaw opened in response, and a bright yellow pill was thrown into Zhou Shu's mouth.
Just as the mask repairer was about to get up, a sudden change occurred!
The two golden hairpins suddenly flew up, flying towards his eyes at an extremely fast speed.
The distance was too close, and the mask cultivator never thought that Zhou Shu was sober, and could still use spells and even weapons.
Although his cultivation level was higher than Zhou Shu's by a few levels, he was not in the Foundation Establishment Realm after all, so he couldn't release his divine sense, and it was unlikely that he could predict danger.
In a panic, he wanted to prop up the protective shield to defend, but after all, he was delayed for a moment.
Nobile went straight into the eyes, blood splashed, and the eyes were already blind.
"ah--"
The exclamation was not halfway through.
There was a sudden blockage in the mouth, something blocked the throat and went straight into the abdomen.
It was Zhou Shu who cast the Cloud Dispelling Jue with his mouth and returned the original Xishen Pill that he hadn't swallowed.
The mask cultivator was very angry, he clasped his palms together, and used all his spiritual power to strike flatly, while leaping back, trying to escape.
But at this time, Xishen Wan had already taken effect, and his movements were much slower.
And Zhou Shu had been prepared for a long time, and dodged it as soon as he dodged. In a short while, a strange ivy loomed under his feet.
The ivy talisman needs a long time to activate, but before the mask repairer feeds the medicine, Zhou Shu calculated the time to release the talisman, and at this time, it just took effect.
Green vines emerged from the ground, like flexible green snakes, quickly entangled upwards, and wrapped the mask repairer like a rice dumpling in just one breath.
With a puff, the mask repairer fell to the ground.
All kinds of arrangements have been calculated long ago, without any omissions.
