Chapter 453 Tracking
He crouched in the sky, using a telescopic soul guide to observe the situation on the ground.
Ye Nanxiao originally thought that he was the only one who was not afraid of the cold in the sky, so he took out a heater from his storage ring and handed it to Ye Guyi.
Ye Guyi glanced at the heater, and the holy sword in her arms glowed slightly, dispelling the chill brought by the high altitude.
"A little gadget?" Ye Guyi glanced at Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Huli twirled her hand back to her chest, turned on the heater, and rubbed her hands together.
"Aren't you an ice-attribute martial soul? Are you afraid of the cold?" Ye Guyi had no intention of letting silence take away Ye Nanxiao's embarrassment.
Ye Nanxiao raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm a little nervous. It would be better to hold something in my hand, something soft would be even better."
After saying that, Ye Nanxiao glanced at Ye Guyi's small hands a few more times.
Ye Guyi snorted and ignored Ye Nanxiao's little scheme.
They waited in the sky for two full hours before they finally saw the five "commoners" who were acting strangely.
This group of "commoners" were dressed in the clothes of farmers and carried a medicine basket on their backs. At first glance, they looked like ordinary herb gatherers.
When they appeared, the five of them quickly approached the place where Ye Nanxiao had buried the dummy, and their positions slowly unfolded, forming a semi-encirclement around the dummy.
"They're here," Ye Nanxiao said in a low voice.
There was no response from his side, so Ye Nanxiao turned his head to look.
Ye Guyi hugged the Holy Sword, her little head bobbing up and down.
The girl was so tired that she was about to fall asleep while still sitting.
Ye Nanxiao didn't have time to slowly wake Ye Guyi; the fish had already taken the bait, and every minute was crucial.
Ye Nanxiao took out a thumb-sized medicine bottle from his storage ring. He looked somewhat disgusted, uncorked it, and then held it between Ye Guyi's noses and swirled it around.
A pungent, acrid, and eerie fishy stench assaulted Ye Guyi's nostrils, instantly waking her up.
"Clang!"
The holy sword swept across the sky.
"Ye the Fox!" Ye Guyi's eyes widened, but after seeing Ye Nanxiao's smiling expression, she asked again, "Have the scumbags arrived?"
"We're here. Wake up, get ready to make our move." Ye Nanxiao put away the small bottle, his smile carrying a hint of schadenfreude. Back when he was taking special courses at Shrek Academy, he had suffered quite a bit from the pungent flowers.
Master Xuan even used pungent flowers as punishment for the defeated side.
For a time, Ye Nanxiao even doubted whether his nose had malfunctioned.
Ye Guyi looked down in the direction Ye Nanxiao pointed, and then snatched the far-seeing soul tool from Ye Nanxiao's hand.
After clearly seeing that several evil spirit masters whose disguise skills were inadequate, Ye Guyi spread two pairs of wings behind her, as if she was about to swoop down and kill the evil spirit masters with her sword.
Because Ye Guyi's movements were swift and decisive, Ye Nanxiao quickly grabbed Ye Guyi's wing and pulled her up from the ice floe.
"What are you doing!" Ye Guyi's face flushed slightly as she quickly snatched her wings back from Ye Nanxiao's hands.
The pure white wings felt like cotton candy to the touch, and Ye Nanxiao couldn't help but exclaim that they felt nice and smooth.
"Wait a minute. I've set up a trap on the dummy. Evil Soul Masters are either carrying poison or explosives. Rushing in rashly isn't the best approach. We need to find an opportunity to kill them in one fell swoop."
"Otherwise, dealing with the strange methods used by evil spirit masters would be very troublesome."
As he spoke, Ye Nanxiao suddenly turned to look at Ye Guyi, "You didn't just rush in like that before, did you?"
Ye Guyi, mimicking Ye Nanxiao, raised an eyebrow and said, "Yeah! What's wrong?"
"poison"
"I have the holy sword, I have the holy light."
"."
Ye Nanxiao covered his face, forgetting that holy light has an extremely strong purifying effect on all evil things.
It is also these eccentric evil spirit masters who, instead of using the high-grade poisons available on the black market, insist on using poisons they develop themselves, the raw materials of which are either their own blood or the special secretions of their own martial spirit.
If you encounter something with purification abilities, wouldn't it just be a chaotic massacre?
Suppressing the restless little head, Ye Nanxiao said, "Don't rush, have you forgotten that we're trying to track them down to the nearby evil spirit master base?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi paused in her movements. The moment she saw the evil spirit master, she instinctively drew her sword, forgetting all her schemes.
"I almost couldn't resist." Ye Guyi hugged the Holy Sword to her chest.
Five evil spirit masters approached the battle scene that had been "hastily cleared".
A malevolent spirit master wearing shoulder pads removed his hood, revealing a head of dark green hair.
After scanning the scene, the evil spirit master discovered a section of black robe buried in the soil and gestured to his companion.
The remaining four people quickly took a few steps back.
The dark green-haired evil spirit master spread his arms, six spirit rings flew up, and his green hair began to writhe like a snake.
A large amount of dark green hair, long and coiled, transformed into dark green snakes that slithered toward the buried black robe.
With the help of the telescopic soul guide, Ye Nanxiao could clearly see the hair that looked like a living snake, and even the snake's head.
"Hair-based martial soul, similar to the Lan sisters, just a bit creepy."
After learning about the evil spirit master's martial soul, Ye Nanxiao mentally simulated unexpected situations and slightly adjusted his battle plan based on the hair martial soul.
Unfortunately, the remaining four did not reveal their martial spirits.
As a large amount of hair came into contact with the dummy that Ye Nanxiao had buried, a dart shot out from the dummy's abdomen.
The moment the dart appeared, it was spotted by the dark green-haired evil spirit master, who tightly wrapped the dart with a large amount of hair.
Then a green light shone through the hair, and a stream of rusty liquid flowed out.
The ball was released, and the dart had disappeared.
"A mere trick!" The dark green-haired evil spirit master sneered, then manipulated his hair to flip the dummy's body over.
The dummy was pulled, triggering a series of mechanisms.
Numerous darts shot out from the ground, creating plumes of smoke.
Before his companions could react, the dark green-haired evil spirit master spread his hair out and corroded the darts one by one; the dummy was also corroded by his hair.
"Even after being eliminated, they still wanted to set up traps and ambushes." The dark green-haired evil spirit master turned over all the soil around him, then put away his martial spirit.
"What about the signal before?" a cultist asked.
"It must have been those useless bastards' last words, wanting us to avenge them. Let's go back," said the dark green-haired evil spirit master. He checked the scene again, dispersed the thick fog, and looked himself over. Finding nothing amiss, he led his team back.
The five people quickly slipped away, unaware that two pairs of eyes in the sky were watching them.
"What kind of trap did you set up?" Ye Guyi asked.
"Those are just some useless little mechanisms. What's really useful is the dense fog that explodes up, which is made from special pollen." Ye Nanxiao took out a palm-sized soul tool with a small arrow on it.
The two landed on the ground and followed the arrows.
These evil spirit masters were quite cunning; after wandering around for a long time, they finally returned to a secret entrance on a hill.
There is a secret entrance hidden beneath the hill, accessible through a mechanism.
Ye Nanxiao leaned closer to take a look and said, "High-grade stuff. If you don't open it correctly three times, it will explode."
Ye Guyi tilted her head, pondering, then gripped the Holy Sword and gestured a few times towards the mechanism door.
His expression seemed to say, "Are you going to do it, or shall I?"
Ye Nanxiao covered his left hand with a layer of frost, and gently touched the mechanism door with his index finger. The faint frost seeped in through the gap in the mechanism door.
A moment later, Ye Nanxiao had the structure of the mechanism door in his mind.
The mechanism door was an advanced soul tool. Ye Nanxiao did not use the ultimate ice to shatter it. Instead, he manipulated the frost to continuously expand and deform inside the mechanism door, pushing open the mechanism structure.
"Snap"
The mechanism door made a soft sound and then slowly opened, revealing an opening just large enough for one person to pass through.
"Your technique is quite skillful." Ye Guyi hugged the Holy Sword to her chest.
"High-end item, but it's a pity it doesn't have a temperature sensing mechanism." Ye Nanxiao tossed out a soul tool that looked like a boomerang.
The boomerang landed on the ground and then floated up, a small rectangle lighting up from its tip, scanning the passage ahead.
Ye Nanxiao donned frost armor and stepped into the passage first.
Ye Guyi followed him inside, the holy sword in his arms slowly flowing with holy light, ready to be unleashed at any moment.
Boomerang kept discovering the mechanisms in the passage, but Ye Nanxiao quietly destroyed them all.
The passage is winding and has many forks in the road.
Ye Nanxiao soon encountered a problem: at a fork in the road with three passages, the arrows began to spin erratically.
"What happened?" Ye Guyi asked.
Ye Nanxiao put away the tracking indicator; the arrows were spinning erratically, clearly indicating that someone had entered all three passageways.
"Those five people must have entered the three passageways separately, so the trackers are no longer useful."
Ye Guyi remained silent for a moment, staring at the dark entrance to the passage, gripping his holy sword tightly, and said, "Shall we split up?"
Ye Nanxiao shook his head decisively. They were in the secret passage of the evil soul masters, and the dangers inside were still unknown. If they split up now, it would be easy for something to go wrong.
"We can't separate; there are too many unknowns here," Ye Nanxiao said.
With their martial spirits possessing them, Little Ye No. 2 and Little Ye No. 3 emerged from behind Ye Nanxiao.
"Don't act rashly if something happens," Ye Nanxiao instructed. Ye Xiao No. 2 and Ye Xiao No. 3 nodded and walked into the passageways on the left and right respectively.
"You have a clone, so the problem is solved," Ye Guyi said.
"No, there might be more branches inside. I only have so many clones. With soul tools, we can't send back messages immediately. From now on, we can only rely on luck." Ye Nanxiao threw out two boomerangs, leading Little Ye No. 2 and Little Ye No. 3.
"This is really troublesome." Ye Guyi's expression was somewhat unpleasant. This evil soul master base seemed to be much larger than he had imagined.
Ye Nanxiao took a deep breath, carefully sensed the surroundings, and, finding no warning signs, made a hand gesture to Ye Guyi before stepping into the central passageway.
