Chapter 159 The Strange Taoist Priest
His hand had already touched the red cloth, and then suddenly stopped. Sun Niqiu's forehead was covered with sweat, and he began to murmur in his heart. He swallowed silently and looked at Bai Ningyu complainingly: "Master, can you remember such an important matter earlier next time?"
Just when he was mustering up the courage to lift the red cloth, he heard footsteps coming from the cave entrance in front of him, and then a little Taoist priest in black Taoist clothes and with a bun appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing Bai Ningyu and his group, the young Taoist priest's eyes clearly flashed with surprise, and then he asked fiercely and sternly: "Who are you, outsiders?"
However, before anyone could reply, the young Taoist priest snorted coldly and continued, "Those Gongshu family's things are really useless. This time they let in a group of outsiders!"
However, no one expected that there would be someone else inside.
Sun Niqiu stood up and asked Bai Ningyu, "Master, this guy is a human, right? He can't be some thousand-year-old zongzi!"
Bai Ningyu shook her head: "He has a soul in his body, he is a human."
Then Bai Ningyu made a hand gesture, which was an ancient Taoist gesture of greeting. After all, they had intruded into someone else's territory, so it would never be wrong to say hello first.
Then she said to the young Taoist priest, "We have no intention of offending you..."
"Oh, so quibbling! I think you are here to look for treasures just like those three tomb robbers before!" Before Bai Ningyu could finish her words, the little Taoist priest interrupted her with disdain.
When Sun Niqiu heard the word treasure, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "There really is a treasure!"
Everyone was speechless. They saw that the little Taoist priest was so angry at Sun Niqiu that his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Looking for death!" The young Taoist gritted his teeth and shouted two words, then he raised his hands, and his arms instantly turned into branches and vines, attacking everyone.
"Fuck, Master, is he still a human being? Isn't he a tree spirit?" Sun Niu rolled on the ground and avoided the attack of the vines.
"It's the magic of an ancient alchemist. He sacrificed part of his life to the Fusang tree, and then used some of the power of the Fusang sacred tree to improve his cultivation." Bai Ningyu and Xiao Jing both unleashed blazing flames, forcing the little Taoist priest to stay away.
The next second, the little Taoist priest showed a wicked smile: "You know a lot. I just saw that your gestures were so exquisite. I think you are also a disciple of the Taoist tradition."
"Needless to say, our master is extraordinary. Since you have recognized him, why don't you stop immediately? We are of the same origin, why are you so anxious to fight each other? We are all cultivators and colleagues. When you see your colleagues coming, you must treat us with good wine and food!" Sun Niuqiu shouted from the side.
The next moment, branches suddenly jumped out from under everyone's feet. Everyone hurriedly dodged and kept backing away, but Sun Niu's ankle was accidentally entangled by a vine.
"Fatty, I'll treat you well now!" The little Taoist said, and then the vines pulled down hard, and Sun Niuqiu sank into the mud.
Seeing this, Bai Ningyu gathered spiritual power at her fingertips, drew a golden talisman, and slammed it heavily towards the little Taoist priest.
The little Taoist priest, who was originally complacent and arrogant, was hit by the talisman. With a loud bang, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
The branches and vines that kept attacking everyone suddenly disappeared, and the little Taoist's hands returned to their original appearance.
Li Yanchen looked at the place where Sun Niqiu was dragged down by the vines, and looked at Bai Ningyu: "Miss Bai, Sun Niqiu..."
"It's fine. After all, I am an earth-type mutant." Sun Niuqiu showed his head on the ground, baring his big teeth. It seemed that there was nothing to worry about.
Just when Sun Niqiu was about to drill up, the little Taoist priest suddenly rushed into the cave.
A wind-type mutant from the Huo family raised his leg and chased after him. The next second, a scream was heard from the cave. The wind-type mutant who chased in was instantly sent flying backwards, and his body hit the stone wall heavily.
His whole body was surrounded by flames, his eyes were wide open, and he seemed to be dead.
Everyone gasped, and the next moment, a thick poisonous smoke suddenly floated out of the cave, and then five mechanical men suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
These five mechanical men were exactly the same as the ones they had seen outside the huge bronze gate before, and they all wore bronze masks on their faces.
The difference is that this time the mechanical man holds weapons such as swords, spears, and crossbows in his hands.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Sun Niuqiu immediately retreated underground.
There were only a few clicks of gears, and everyone was startled. The elder shouted hurriedly: "This mechanical man is about to start again, everyone run!"
Everyone remembered the two mechanical men in front of the huge bronze gate, who could spray spray, spit fire, and release poison needles. Now five of them appeared at once, and their faces suddenly turned ashen.
Without looking back, they ran back the way they came and entered the cave they came from.
The gears of the mechanical man behind him slid, and the sound of several crossbow arrows breaking through the air was heard, followed by the sound of a jar breaking.
They also seemed to hear the sound of wheels sliding under the robot's feet, as if the robot was catching up, and everyone hurried towards the exit.
After all, no one wants to be shot into a sieve.
I saw a ray of light coming into view.
Everyone rushed out. Just when they breathed a sigh of relief and thought they were saved, they saw a giant mechanical bird staring at them.
The giant bird opened its mouth and countless crossbow arrows shot towards the crowd.
Everyone hurriedly dodged and took out their weapons to shoot back the attacking crossbow arrows.
The leader of the Huo family hurriedly took out five smoke bombs and explosive bombs and threw them at the giant mechanical bird.
After a few loud noises, smoke instantly spread to a height of dozens of meters.
Taking advantage of this gap, everyone ran to the top of the mountain.
"This guy is quite persistent. He is actually waiting for us outside the cave." Li Yanchen said as he ran.
Everyone used their spiritual power and instantly distanced themselves a thousand meters from the mechanical bird, but the mechanical bird behind them took off into the air the next moment.
It swooped down towards the crowd at an incredible speed.
"This won't work. The mechanical bird will catch up with us soon!" Bai Ningyu said as she planned to jump into the air and fight it.
"There is a Taoist temple ahead!" Li Shang suddenly shouted, pointing to a Taoist temple halfway up the mountain.
"Could this be the lair of some mountain spirits or ghosts?" Li Jingze felt uneasy as he said this. Thinking back to the Yumen Mountain, he always encountered problems whenever he entered such a place. He really didn't want to set foot in such places as temples or Taoist temples again.
"Never mind him, let's go in and take shelter first. Things will work out when the time comes!" Li Yanchen was the first to push open the door of the Taoist temple.
Everyone rushed in all at once and then slammed the door shut.
"Oh, that's really strange. I haven't seen anyone here for ten years. How did you get in?" I saw a fat man in his fifties or sixties, wearing a Taoist robe, sitting by the well next to the yard, holding a freshly killed chicken in his hand, looking at everyone with curiosity.
