Chapter 422: Underground Space

Just as he was about to turn around and return, a few glimmers of light appeared not far ahead.

Wu Song walked over, turned a corner, and couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the scene in front of him.

Countless pale blue dots float in the air, like fluttering stars, which is very beautiful.

Wu Song walked in this light blue light, and for a moment he had a dreamy feeling.

"Are these cute little things fireflies?"

Wu Song stretched out his hand to cover a point of light, moved it to his eyes, and looked at it carefully.

It was indeed a firefly-like creature, with a glowing tail, tentacles and slender legs visible in the pale blue glow. In addition to this, Wu Song vaguely saw an extremely thin line sticking out from its back, extending far away.

There was a flicker of light in the thin line, and the other end seemed to be connected to another flying insect.

"This is..."

Wu Song was observing this magical creature with great interest, and suddenly the light blue light emitted by all the flying insects instantly became stronger, and before he could react, he felt several electric currents hit his body.

"Ahh

It was as if the body had been whipped with several cowhide whips soaked in salt water, and there was extreme pain all over the body.

The current was endless, like a flood that swept everything, drowning Wu Song's will. Except for instinctively screaming in pain, Wu Song couldn't even move a finger.

These firefly creatures are actually an extremely dangerous demon beast, and their grade is at the second order. They may seem like a group of creatures, but they're all part of a whole.

All the fireflies and monsters are connected by silk threads that extend from their backs, and their thoughts are shared, forming a whole together.

It creates a beautiful sight with a pale blue glow, dispels the enemy's vigilance, and then unknowingly surrounds the enemy, unleashing a strong electric current.

The electricity it emits is more powerful than lightning, and if it lasts for a few moments, it can turn people into coke.

That is to say, Wu Song was born with a strong body, plus he had already introduced Yuan into his body, and he had reached the middle stage of the body refining realm, and his body was far tougher than ordinary people, otherwise he would have lost consciousness long ago and was at the mercy of demon beasts.

After the high-intensity current continues to output for more than ten seconds, the intensity gradually weakens, and the power of the firefly monster is unsustainable, and it needs to rest for a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Song let out a loud shout, attached Yuan Li to his palm, and simply cut off the silk thread that wrapped him neatly and retreated to the side.

Wu Song was panting for breath, and there was still a little pain on his skin.

It was too dangerous just now, that is, his nerves had been strengthened by the kamikaze, so that he could maintain the situation under the high-intensity electric shock just now, otherwise, any monk below the Yuan Seed Realm would have passed out long ago.

"What a brute, dare to plot against Uncle Ben!"

Wu Song's heart burned with rage, and his dark luck was gone, and his body shot out like an arrow.

The fireflies shrank from the original spread in the sky to the size of a fist, and all the electricity was concentrated together to create an electric current.

Wu Song's reaction was greatly enhanced, his body flashed, and he was able to avoid the current, and then rushed to the front of the firefly demon beast, and with a wave of his palm, he broke it in two.

The corpse of the firefly demon beast fell to the ground, and the pale blue light quickly extinguished.

The cave was dark again, Wu Song wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued to walk.

Suspecting that he had lost the bear and hesitating to make it home, he decided to follow the cave all the way down to see what other demons and monsters he could encounter.

After encountering the firefly demon beast, Wu Song was much more cautious. He secretly warned himself that he was in a forest full of demon beasts, and any creature he encountered could be a dangerous demon beast.

Further down, I didn't encounter any more monsters.

After walking for a long time, Wu Song faintly heard the sound of gold and stone colliding, and there was a flash of fire in front of the cave.

After walking a little further, a huge underground space suddenly opened up in front of Wu Song's eyes.

The cave is on the stone wall of the underground space, about twenty or thirty meters above the ground, because Wu Song can see the entire space.

On the ground and on the stone walls, a torch is lit at intervals to illuminate the space clearly.

There are a large number of demon beasts in the space, ranging from small monsters like cattle and sheep, to monsters as large as three or four meters high, walking on the ground and flying in the sky, occupying most of the space.

And what's incredible is that these monsters are working like people.

Some monsters were pulling a bunch of things with ropes tied to their bodies, while others were digging into the stone walls with claws comparable to steel.

Some Wu Song also saw that a group of hyena-like demon beasts dragged a bunch of beast corpses and stacked them in a corner of the space. From time to time, monsters come over to eat a big meal, and then go back to work.

"Good guys, there's a special food manager here. ”

The scene he saw reminded Wu Song of the scene of the Terran harvest season, where everyone had a clear division of labor, worked together, and worked hard for the same goal.

It's just that the difference is that when it comes to physical work, the demon race is far better than the human race.

The big stone of the house, a mammoth demon beast carried it and left, without even breathing. If this is left on the human race, there are not a dozen people and most of the day's work, don't want to let the stones move.

To be able to drive such a large-scale demon beast, it seems that the Martial Academy's speculation is correct, there is at least one demon general here.

So what is this demon going to do? What kind of project is it driving the demon beast to carry out here, and what is the purpose?

On one side of the space, Wu Song saw a dam tens of meters high, and there were water waves in the dam from time to time, which could store a large amount of water in it, and the water level was very high.

Next to the dam, there is a river channel. In the light of the fire, the silt shimmered, and there should have been water in the river not so long ago.

Combining these two points, there was originally an underground river here, and the demon beasts cut off the river water and built a dam to store the river water.

So what's the point of this move?

Most of the monsters were gathered on the other side of the space, digging a cave. And between the cave and the defeat, a wide ditch has been dug in the ground.

Once the dam is discharged, the accumulated water flows down the ditch into the cave that is being dug.

Wu Song looked at the cave thoughtfully.

He has been walking underground for so long, he has long lost his way, and he can no longer distinguish between east and west, north and south. However, his intuition told him that the cave should lead in the direction of the martial arts.

Moreover, according to common sense, near the Demon Beast Mountain Range, except for the Martial Academy, only the distant Junwang City has human activities. Aside from these two places, there are only ordinary beasts in the rest of the world.

The demon clan took great pains to dig such a cave, and it couldn't be for those beasts.

The amount of water in the dam is staggering, and no matter where the cave leads, once it is opened, the huge amount of water is bound to rush out of the ground, submerging everything on the ground.

Thinking of this, Wu Song was taken aback.

Cutting off rivers, building dams, digging caves... Could it be that the demon clan's plan is to flood the Martial Academy, or flood the County King City?

As soon as this thought appeared, Wu Song no longer had any doubts that the demon clan's plan must be like this.

As the only two major races in the Xuanwu Realm, the Demon Race and the Human Race have fought countless wars in order to compete for various resources. Both sides are always thinking about how to destroy each other and monopolize the Xuanwu realm.

After the Demon Beast Mountain Range spawned the Demon General, it must have made contact with the Demon Clan Headquarters on the Western Continent. At their behest, the demon generals here carried out a plan to flood the county king's city.

Just imagining the scene at that time, Wu Song's heart tightened into a ball.

Backed by a large mountain, the city is low, and there is nothing in normal times, but in the event of a flood, the entire city will be submerged.

Under the attack of the floods, ordinary civilians will certainly suffer a catastrophe, with countless deaths and injuries. And ordinary monks, I'm afraid, are not immune.

In the body refining realm, whether it is the early stage or the peak, the monk will not be able to fly except for the increase in strength.

Only after the Yuan Seed Realm can you cultivate the magic power of stepping on the snow without a trace and crossing the river with a reed.

Under the monstrous flood, after the monks of the Body Refining Realm were swallowed up by the flood, they also died nine times.

If the demon clan's plan was successfully implemented, then a large number of Body Refining Realm cultivators would die. At that time, Lingchong Junguo will inevitably be greatly damaged and will collapse, and even lose the ability to compete with other forces forever because of this, and finally be completely swallowed.

After thinking about this before and after, Wu Song broke out in a cold sweat.

"No, we must immediately notify the martial arts academy and the high-level officials of the county, so that they can come up with countermeasures in time. ”

Wu Song got up to leave, and suddenly remembered that Yuan Zhen should have been hidden in the shadows and followed him. It would be better to call him out and discuss a solution together.

Wu Song turned to face the dark cave behind him and shouted softly, "Old Yuan." ”

The dark cavern was empty, and there was no response. Wu Song screamed a few more times, but the result was still the same.

At this time, Yuan Zhen was not beside Wu Song, he did follow Wu Song all the time at first, but when he entered the cave and reached the second fork, he lost it.

In order not to prevent Wu Song from fighting with the demon beast, he deliberately kept a distance of more than 100 meters from Wu Song. It's okay on the ground, the view is wide, and this distance is nothing.

But it's different in the cave, the cave twists and turns, and people can't see it when they walk out of more than ten meters, let alone a distance of 100 meters.

At the first fork in the road, Yuan Zhen almost lost it, and with a lot of effort, with the keen perception of the master of the innate realm, he could barely hear Wu Song's footsteps, and then followed again.

But the distance between him and Wu Song widened because of this, and by the time he reached the second fork, he had completely lost Wu Song's trace.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find the clues left by Wu Song.

In the end, Yuan Zhen casually chose the cave on the right, chased after it, and separated from Wu Song. Therefore, Wu Song was alone at this time.

Even after calling a few times, Yuan Zhen didn't respond, and Wu Song began to suspect that he was not nearby at all.
