Seeing this, Zhou Mingde immediately said: "Let's do it this way. Whoever takes the lead in goes in first will be counted as having an extra effort, and when the things are divided later, he can get an extra share!"

"this……"

Shen Borong opened his mouth, as if he wanted to object.

But Ruan Hongzhuang on the side interrupted at this time: "I have no objection, and I am willing to let the two fellow Taoists go first."

In this way, there is no need to say any more of Shen Borong's unfinished words.

Zhou Mingde also looked at him and said, "Does Fellow Daoist Shen want to take this credit?"

"Since it was Fellow Daoist Zhou's suggestion, Shen will not argue with Fellow Daoist about this."

Shen Borong's expression changed, and he quickly shook his head and refused to be the first to take the lead.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Mingde suddenly smiled and said: "Since Fellow Taoist Shen is so humble, then Zhou will not be polite to Fellow Taoist!"

Although he decided to go explore the route first, Zhou Mingde did not take action immediately. Instead, he took the Huiyuan Pill outside to restore his mana.

When he had restored his magic power to perfection, he blessed the Vulcan Jackal with the secret technique of "Beast Spirit Battle Armor" and let him explore the path ahead.

One foot, two feet, three feet...

The Vulcan Jackal walked slowly and cautiously in the corridor, and soon it was more than ten feet deep.

Outside the corridor, Zhou Mingde and three others were staring at the back of the Vulcan Jackal with nervous expressions.

After going thirty feet deep into the tunnel, the Vulcan Jackal finally encountered an attack.

At that moment, the stone walls surrounding the Vulcan Jackal suddenly glowed with rich yellow light, and soon a cage was formed to imprison it in place.

Immediately afterwards, a violent roar sounded from the depths of the corridor, and a golden flying sword shot through the air towards the Vulcan Jackal.

Ouch!

At the critical moment, the Vulcan Jackal let out a roar of filial piety and spit out the inner elixir he had worked so hard to condense.

The fiery red inner elixir flew out of his mouth, just in time to collide with the flying sword.

Immediately, the flying sword was knocked out by the inner elixir, and fell to the ground due to exhaustion.

And where the inner alchemy collided with the flying sword, there was also a slight break, as if it had been bitten by something.

When the inner elixir returned to the Vulcan Jackal's body, the Vulcan Jackal also whimpered, and bright red animal blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

The inner elixir is something related to the life of a monster. Damage to the inner elixir will also be transmitted to the monster's body, causing internal injuries to it.

The Vulcan Jackal's inner elixir was damaged, and he would not be able to recover without ten years of recuperation after returning.

When Zhou Mingde saw this scene, he felt very distressed.

Master and servant have been getting along for almost two hundred years, and the relationship between him and Vulcan Jackal can be said to be as close as brothers.

When Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan plotted against Master Jiang, causing the Vulcan Jackal to be poisoned, he almost got angry with Zhou Chun, a junior whom he deeply valued at the time. This shows the importance of the Vulcan Jackal in his heart.

Seeing that the Vulcan Jackal was injured at this time, he felt very guilty and regretful, regretting that he should not have taken on this task of exploring the path.

Immediately, he hurriedly rushed into the corridor, used his magical weapon to attack the cage that trapped the Vulcan Jackal.

Compared with Zhou Mingde, who was heartbroken and regretful, Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang had a flash of joy in their eyes after seeing the Vulcan Jackal injured.

As a third-level mid-level monster, the Vulcan Jackal is undoubtedly stronger than its master, Zhou Mingde.

Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang have always been very afraid of this monster, so they can only tolerate Zhou Mingde's tough attitude.

But now that Vulcan Jackal is injured, the two of them have regained hope of balancing the strength of both sides.

If the injured Vulcan Jackal can no longer compete with Shen Borong, a middle-level cultivator from the Purple Mansion, then Zhou Mingde will naturally not have the strength to overwhelm the two of them.

It's just that I'm happy in my heart, but I still have to work hard on the surface.

Looking at Zhou Mingde who was still struggling to rescue his pet in the corridor, Shen Borong quickly shouted loudly: "Friend Zhou, we are here to help you."

After saying that, he also entered the corridor to help.

In this way, with the help of Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang, Zhou Mingde quickly broke the yellow light cage and rescued the Vulcan Jackal.

But although the Vulcan Jackal was rescued, the work of exploring the path was not finished yet.
Chapter completed!
