Chapter 114 The Tragic Death of the Sect's Juniors

The middle-aged man holding an iron rod, along with several young girls, passed through several mountains in the Dark Soul Mountains and finally arrived at a slanted valley.

Although they encountered several groups of blind monsters along the way, they were generally smooth.

The mountain walls on both sides of the slanted valley were very steep, as if they could collapse from the top at any time, which made the young warriors terrified.

"Uncle, is this the flat-angled valley?!"

The middle-aged man nodded gently.

"Yes, after entering this slanted valley, we will reach our destination. Calculating the time, the thing should have condensed into shape. Now is the best time to take it away!"

His tone was quite happy. This time the sect mission was really smooth.

The other young warriors were also particularly happy.

"Great, get that spirit fetus, this mission reward is a full two thousand spirit stones!!"

"Uncle, let's go in quickly!!"

The middle-aged man nodded, he held the iron rod in his hand tightly, and took the lead in entering the slanted valley.

The rest of the young warriors followed closely behind.

The slanting valley was relatively deep and secluded. When walking in the valley, there were gusts of valley wind blowing.

However, as he walked, the middle-aged man frowned.

"Strange, why is the spiritual energy in this flat-angled valley so thin?!"

"These plants also look weak, as if they are about to die."

Hearing this, a young warrior on the side did not care.

"Maybe when the spirit fetus condensed and formed, it drained all the spiritual energy in the valley..."

"After all, a treasure like this that can only be nurtured for hundreds of years requires a lot of spiritual energy."

"Yes, uncle, let's go quickly, lest others get there first."

"Where did the people in the Dark Soul Mountains come from? Maybe the monsters may be attracted..."

These young warriors talked to each other, but the atmosphere was not tense.

The middle-aged man held the long stick tightly: "There is a spiritual vein under the spirit fetus, with extremely majestic spiritual energy. Logically speaking, even if it wants to absorb spiritual energy, it should not be so thin."

"Maybe I think too much..."

So, the group continued to walk inside.

But as they continued to walk inside, the vitality around them became thinner and thinner, as if they had entered a dead place.

Several young warriors stopped talking and laughing, but followed the middle-aged man closely, their expressions became serious, and their pace also quickened a bit.

"How come these signs are so similar to the signs of spiritual vein exhaustion?!"

"Could it be that the underground spiritual vein here has been exhausted?"

"It shouldn't be...The last time I came here, the spiritual vein here was obviously still very healthy, and Pingjiao Valley was also in a state of vitality and everything was flourishing."

"Even if there is a spirit fetus, the spiritual vein should not be drained..."

The middle-aged man thought.

"You stay here, I'll go inside to check the situation."

To be on the safe side, the middle-aged man decided to go deeper by himself and let the young warriors stay here. In case of danger, he might not be able to take care of himself and could not guarantee their safety.

"Okay, uncle, you must be careful!"

The young warriors were also quite sensible and nodded obediently.

"If you encounter a monster, run into the valley and join me!!" The middle-aged man instructed, and then went deep into the valley by himself.

When the middle-aged man disappeared, the young warriors also found a place to sit down.

"Hey, this mission won't be completed... I finally got this quota..."

"Don't worry, even if the spirit fetus is gone, we can get a consolation prize."

While chatting, the few people didn't realize that danger was quietly approaching them.

...

The middle-aged man walked all the way to the depths of the Xie Valley. He had been here several times before and was familiar with the environment here.

Just because of the disappearance of spiritual energy, the vegetation here has withered.

"I remember there was a spiritual spring here, but now it has disappeared..."

With a trepidation, the middle-aged man came to the place where the spiritual embryo was hidden. It was in a natural karst cave. The bottom of the karst cave was connected to the spiritual vein, providing sufficient nutrition for the spiritual embryo.

Such a natural spiritual embryo is an excellent material for refining top-grade treasure weapons. The treasure weapons added with the spiritual embryo will have a trace of spirituality and have a more powerful effect.

And even if the refined treasure weapons are only of the sixth and seventh grades, they can be upgraded with the subsequent addition of materials.

It can even make the treasure weapons reach the level of divine weapons.

Divine weapons...

Even a behemoth like the Seven Kingdoms is estimated to have no more than ten divine weapons in total...

Inside the karst cave, in a bend of spring water, the middle-aged man saw an object emitting a faint white light.

It is round in shape, with a milky white halo in it, like an embryo, full of spiritual energy.

Seeing the item, the middle-aged man finally put down his worries.

"Great!"

"The spirit fetus is still there! And it has already taken shape!!"

The middle-aged man was overjoyed and hurried forward to take out a jade bottle from the storage bag.

He carefully urged his spiritual power and put the spirit fetus into the jade bottle.

Then he put the jade bottle back into the storage bag.

After doing all this, the middle-aged man felt relieved.

"With this spirit fetus, the future of the sect will be brighter!!"

The middle-aged man thought hopefully.

At this time, he squatted down and looked at the spring water below.

I remember that when he came here last time, it was filled with a kind of natural treasure, the earth's core stalactite.

Now it has become an ordinary spring water, and the spring water is drying up.

"It seems that the spiritual vein here is really exhausted..."

"It's so strange."

The middle-aged man shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Since the things are in hand, it doesn't matter to him whether the spiritual vein is dry or not.

He wants to leave here as soon as possible and reunite with those young warriors.

"I'll report the things here to the sect by the way..."

The middle-aged man thought, and ran out of the valley.

As he walked, the joy on his face slowly disappeared, and his eyes became sharp.

A faint smell of blood entered his nose.

This is not good news.

Then he quickly quickened his pace and ran out of the valley.

Are those juniors from the sect in danger? !

Soon, he ran to the place where he had asked the young warriors to stay.

The scene in front of him made the middle-aged man tremble and his eyes were bloodshot.

The young warriors who had been talking and laughing with him a few minutes ago were now lying on the ground, bleeding slowly, and had no signs of life.
