Zhan Chen took out a few healing and recovery pills from the Qiankun bag, stuffed them into his mouth, and then continued to drag the pain to search for Zhou Ziru in the valley.

What a desolate world this is! The sky was dark and dreary, and there was not a single light in sight, and the bright moon and twinkling stars were all gone, and there were only rocks around him.

Because of the depth of the ground, and there is no light, the surroundings are so cold that if you take a breath, you will immediately be frozen into frost and mist, and Zhan Chen didn't take a few steps before he found that his robe had been frozen stiff.

Under such a harsh living environment, a martial artist with a slightly lower cultivation level may not be able to go far and feel that his qi and blood are not smooth, and his hands and feet will be numb, and only powerful creatures will have a chance to survive. Fortunately, Zhan Chen now has the cultivation of Emperor Wu, so he is not too affected by the surrounding low temperature.

He walked hundreds of meters and found no trace of Zhou Ziru, and he was a little anxious, so he shouted: "Ziru-" The voice echoed in the empty valley, but there was no response.

Just as Zhan Chen wanted to continue to move forward, he heard a continuous roar from the darkness ahead, the voice was cold and sad, making people's scalps tingle when they heard it, and his heart moved: "There is a situation ahead!"

So he didn't dare to hesitate, quickly quickened his pace and ran forward, climbed up a steep slope, lay down in the pile of rocks, looked down, but his pupils shrank suddenly, it turned out that he saw Zhou Ziru lying in the middle of the sand below, covered in blood, already unconscious.

However, these are not the most fatal, the most fatal thing is that he is surrounded by more than a dozen vicious wolf-like demon beasts, and they are salivating and staring greedily at Zhou Ziru in the center.

Probably because of the instinct of the demon beasts, they were a little afraid of the powerful threat emanating from Zhou Ziru, they didn't attack immediately, otherwise Zhou Ziru would definitely have been torn apart.

The desire to eat finally overcame fear, and the leading wolf king finally couldn't help it, and rushed over first, opened his bloody mouth, and bit Zhou Ziru's throat with its sharp teeth.

Seeing this, Zhan Chen hurriedly rushed out and slashed at the guy's back with his sword, and the long sword successfully cut through its body, and the wolf king was immediately hit hard, retreated, and looked at him viciously.

Zhan Chen did not pursue, he was not afraid, he stood with his sword, and looked at it, his eyes showed disdain for these beasts, and he didn't seem to take them in his eyes at all.

The two sides confronted each other for a while, and finally the wolf king retreated, whimpered unwillingly, and retreated with the pack of wolves.

Seeing that they were far away, Zhan Chen breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the ground with his ass, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled bitterly. In fact, he pretended to be calm just now, only he knew the condition of his body, and the blow just now had done his best, if the wolves were not deterred, but still attacked, then I couldn't figure out that he and Zhou Ziru would have to explain here today. But in order to save his brother, he had to come forward, and fortunately he made the right bet.

In addition to palpitations, another question rose in his heart: "What's the matter? These wolf-shaped demon beasts are the type I have never seen before, they are very similar to a kind of demon beasts I have seen in the past-the flame wolf, but that group of guys are only about the third order, and they are fire attribute demon beasts, and the wolf-shaped demon beasts that look like fire wolves seen here have obviously reached the fourth-order level, and the level of the wolf king has reached the fifth-order intermediate level, and their attributes are obviously ice attributes!"

However, he didn't delve into this, now it's important to save people, he put his hand on Zhou Ziru's body, and used his divine sense to probe up and down, and couldn't help but be surprised, Zhou Ziru's injuries are much more serious than his own, and he can be described as having only half a life left.

Zhan Chen didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly took out a few healing pills and fed them to him, then carried the person on his back, thinking: "This is not a place to stay for a long time, now that Zhou Ziru and I are seriously injured, the top priority is to find a safe place to heal well, and then think about it in the long run." ”

Thinking of this, he ran towards the nearest stone wall, and found a small hole suitable for cultivation on the cliff, so he drilled into it, and after putting Zhou Ziru on the ground, he was relieved, so he sat aside to meditate and breathe, refining the pill he had just taken to recover from his injuries.

It wasn't until the evening of the next day that Zhan Chen opened his eyes slightly, and his heart was initially settled that after nearly a day and a night of cultivation, his injuries had healed, and he had the power to protect himself, and he didn't encounter any disturbances in the middle.

He stood up, looked at Zhou Ziru, who was still with his eyes closed, hesitated for a moment, but decided to stay here until his brother woke up.

It wasn't until the third day that Zhou Ziru had a hint of reaction, and after a long time, he was finally able to open his eyes, and saw Zhan Chen guarding beside him, so he asked: "Brother Zhan, isn't this going to hell, why is it so dark around?"

When Zhan Chen heard his words, he couldn't help but smile and replied, "Ziru, you fool, this is not hell, it's just in a cave, and we are not dead!"

"Is this to the bottom of the abyss?"

"Not bad!"

"Okay, I'm going to get up right away and see, what is the bottom of this abyss pond like?!" Zhou Ziru subconsciously wanted to get up, but felt a violent pain hit him, and he almost fainted again, so he had to lie on the ground obediently.

When Zhan Chen saw this, he said: "Ziru, you are seriously injured, it is not appropriate to act rashly now, stay here and rest obediently for a few days, and then talk about healing your injuries." ”

Zhou Ziru smiled bitterly: "That's all it takes." ”

In this way, they stayed in the cave for another three days, and Zhou Ziru's injuries were almost recovered, and once he could get up and walk, he couldn't sit still, and said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, we have been trapped here for nearly a week, and we should go out for a walk and find a way out of here." ”

When Zhan Chen heard him say this, he was also moved, but he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Ziru, how are you recovering from your injuries?"

Zhou Ziru smiled and said, "It's okay, maybe it's okay to take a walk." ”

Zhan Chen then decided: "Okay, let's go!" He thought that if Zhou Ziru really encountered any danger, would he still be himself?

So the two of them came out of the cave, and when they raised their eyes, they saw the overcast "sky" outside, which was noon, when the sun was at its strongest.

However, no amount of sunlight could penetrate the thick layer of fog in the abyssal pool, where there was really not much difference between day and night.

"I really don't understand, where did these fogs come from, and how did they last for a long time?" Zhou Ziru looked at the top and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, there are really too many secrets of this abyss, we can only explore it slowly, and for today's plan, we can only take one step at a time. Zhan Chen also sighed.

The two didn't know where to find the exit, so they had to choose a random direction to walk, and along the way, Zhan Chen heard Zhou Ziru complaining: "Zhan Chen, have you noticed it, although the aura in this abyss pool is very rich, why do I feel so turbid and very uncomfortable to inhale into my body?"

"Uncomfortable?" Zhan Chen was stunned, he didn't feel this way, on the contrary, he had cultivated in the past few days, and he still felt that he had entered the realm quickly and his body was comfortable. Suddenly, he reacted and replied, "Brother Zhou, I know, it's because the earth aura here is unusually strong. ”

Near the ground, it is common sense that the earth aura is strong, but after Zhou Ziru reminded him, Zhan Chen found that the concentration of the earth aura at the bottom of the abyss pool was surprisingly high, which was a boost to the improvement of his own exercise "Chaos Golden Yuan Decision", but it was definitely a huge obstacle to the cultivation of other righteous path cultivators.

He couldn't help but raise his head and look up at the gray and black mist in the sky again, and there seemed to be a hint of déjà vu in it, so he had a guess in his heart: Could it be that the mist above his head was related to the aura here?

At this time, there was a roar in front of him, interrupting his thoughts, it was a demon beast! Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru were in good spirits, they both took out their swords, and rushed forward, but when they arrived at their destination, they saw a bear-like demon beast, which was pounced on a leopard-like demon beast and scuffled with it.

The bear reached the sixth-order intermediate level, with a body length of six meters, covered with gray-white fluff, and scarlet and violent eyes, while the leopard on the other side was a fifth-order high-level, four meters long, and its eyes were also full of ferocity, although it was very different from the level of the bear-like demon beast, but it did not flinch and run away, but pounced on the bear to fight for its life, even if it was waiting for it to be torn to pieces and reduced to the fate of the other party's mouth.

"What are these two demon beasts?" Zhou Ziru looked at them, a puzzle flashed in his eyes, he had never seen these two demon beasts in the previous demon beast illustrated book.

Zhan Chen replied slowly: "I don't know, the type of demon beasts here seems to be completely different from the outside world, and their strength is obviously more than one grade higher than the outside world, but I feel that they are abnormal, irritable and murderous, and do you feel it? There seems to be a dark energy hidden in their bodies." ”

Zhou Ziru nodded and said, "Yes, the energy in their bodies makes me quite uncomfortable, I don't understand, what happened to these demon beasts?"

While the two were talking, the bear demon had already swallowed all the leopards into its stomach, still not satisfied, turned its head, stared at Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru with its bloodshot cloudy eyes, and humanely stretched out its blood-red tongue and licked its lips, obviously treating the two as the next meal.

Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru looked at each other and smiled, and together they drew their swords to face the bear demon, and after a while, the bear was only a corpse.

Zhou Ziru took out its demon pill from his abdomen, but frowned for a while, and said: "Sure enough, although this bear is an ice-attribute demon beast, its demon pill contains a drum of turbid and obscure energy, and I can't use it." ”

Zhan Chen said on the side: "Give it to me." ”

"Okay. "Zhou Ziru threw the demon pill to Zhan Chen, which is no pity.

Zhan Chen took the demon pill in his hand, and his heart was full of joy. Because as early as when he followed Chu Danqing to learn alchemy, Chu Danqing taught him to use the demon pills of various demon beasts to refine pills.

In the past, he was not very interested in this technology, and that was because he had ample elixir. Now, he and Zhou Ziru are at the bottom of this abyssal pool, and they don't know how long it will take to return to the outside world, and the environment of the abyssal pool will obviously not give birth to many elixirs he needs, at this time, the demon pill has also become a valuable resource.

They continued to move forward, the scope of the abyss pool is very large, and there are many dangerous places and demon beasts in it, they have waded through dangers all the way, and have explored around here for several days, but unfortunately they have not found much in the way of going around, and they have not found the slightest clue in the way out.

Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru's mood was slowly deteriorating, their hearts were full of hesitation and helplessness, and the conversation between the brothers became less and less.

Just when they were at their wit's end, they found a thin stream in a valley. Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru both stared at the stream and refused to look away, because they both discovered the strangeness of the stream.

First of all, its water was not frozen by the deep cold at the bottom of the abyssal pool, but continued to flow, secondly, its water was not as clear and translucent as the mountain spring water they had seen before, but had a dark and dark turbid color, and finally, and most importantly, it continued to emit bursts of gray mist that were constantly drifting towards the gray-black fog above their heads, and binding closely with them.

"This—Could this be the secret of the black fog of the deep pool?!" Zhan Chen finally shouted.

"Quack, that's right, the thick fog above is formed by the steaming of this abyssal river!" Suddenly a hoarse and low laugh echoed inexplicably in the valley, which made people shudder when they heard it.

"Who is it?" Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru took out their weapons almost at the same time and carefully guarded.
