30.Chapter 30: The Devil's Pit
"It's hard to say, I've been asleep for too long, but it's sure to be good. "The wine master avoided the point.
"You can only take one step at a time. Lin Xuan had a decision in his heart, so he went to the mysterious demon pit with Tang Yu.
The magic pit is located in the Taihang Mountain Range, and it is a black hole with a radius of more than ten miles, and it is bottomless. But there were some precious medicinal herbs growing around him, and some people tried to pick them, but they fell into the pit and never came out again.
Later, it was discovered that whether it was an animal or a person, once they got close, they would be sucked into the hole, and their life and death were unknown, but some plants grew very well.
Over time, no one dared to go there again, and it became a forbidden place, and no one would risk it on weekdays. But this time, someone found some brown stones near the demon pit, and cut out some anti-heaven medicinal herbs from them.
This news immediately alarmed many martial artists, and now many martial artists have gone to the demon pit, even the disciples of the Zixia Sect have arrived, which shows the value of the mysterious stone.
Out of Leyang City, the two went straight to the southwest direction of Taihang Mountain, which was the direction where the magic pit was located.
Entering the dense woods, Lin Xuan and Tang Yu's figures gradually slowed down, although the demon pit was not in the depths of Taihang Mountain, it was almost the same, and powerful fierce beasts often appeared around it.
Coupled with the fact that there are a lot of people now, they have to be careful.
There were many rotten branches and leaves on the ground, and stepping on them could sink people's feet into them, but fortunately, the two of them were able to do it, and the soft ground had no effect on them.
The further you go inside, the more lush the trees become, and the huge trunk takes several people to carry it. Thousands of years old, this luxuriant foliage obscures the sky, and the surrounding vines are entangled, forming an intricate topography.
In the distance, tigers roar and apes cry, birds and beasts fly away, this is a paradise for wild beasts.
"Roar!"
A blue-spotted leopard swooped down from the tree, its claws like knives and its snow-white teeth glittering. Lin Xuan turned sideways and slashed out with a sword, without using spiritual power, relying on the power of pure muscles to split the leopard in half.
This is exactly the effect of the golden jade quenching technique, it is divided into five layers, the first layer can nourish the body and increase strength, Lin Xuan's strength now has increased by about three layers compared to before, reaching nearly five thousand catties.
He didn't use spiritual power There is also a consideration, that is, the spiritual power is too dazzling, once it is used, it is equivalent to telling others that I am here.
This big forest is not comparable to the sect, no one cares about those rules, and it is normal for blood to be spattered if you don't agree with each other. Lin Xuan didn't want to expose himself too early.
Bang!
The entire ground trembled slightly, Lin Xuan and Tang Yu glanced at each other, both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and the two of them rose up and landed on the trunk of the tree, hiding their own breath.
The ground trembled more and more, and before long, a giant elephant covered in jade slowly walked by, its legs wider than ordinary stone pillars, and each foot could step out of a deep pit in the ground.
"Ang Uh-huh......"
The white jade giant elephant roared in the sky, the momentum shook the sky, and the leaves around it fell down with a bang, and Lin Xuan and Tang Yu had to use spiritual power to seal their hearing so as not to be deaf.
"Roar!"
The white-spotted black tiger the size of a bull pounced out of the grass and roared at the white jade giant elephant, as if warning it not to approach.
Rumble!
The long elephant trunk was thrown out directly, like a heavenly hammer, smashing the body of the white-spotted black tiger into pieces. Then the nose curled, and all the flesh and blood were rolled into the mouth.
Bang!
The white jade giant elephant roared again, and then dragged itself away slowly.
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, this level of fierce beast was not something they could fight against. The two of them moved on, this time more cautiously than before, but the situation they faced seemed to be getting worse.
Some of the fierce beasts that you can't see on weekdays seem to have all come out, and there are also many demon beasts in the vicinity, making the already terrifying demon pit even more dangerous.
"No, how could there be so many fierce beasts here, all of them caught up in the depths of Taihang Mountain!" Lin Xuan frowned.
"There must be something wrong, could it be related to those stones?" Tang Yu also said with a nervous expression.
"Well, there are some things we don't know yet. Lin Xuan nodded, "It's too dangerous inside, do you still want to go in?"
"I want to see my brother and I'm a little worried about him. Tang Yu hesitated.
"How many disciples from the inner gate are here?" Lin Xuan asked.
"I don't know the specifics, but I guess there are some people on each side of the three major forces. Tang Yu thought for a while and said, "Many of the inner disciples are doing tasks in the outer gate, and some are fighting against demon beasts on the front line, and there are not many people left in the gate. ”
Lin Xuan's mood was a little heavy, originally he thought that only the outer disciples came, but he didn't expect that now even the inner disciples appeared.
"I will be with you until you see your brother. Lin Xuan patted Tang Yu's shoulder and said with a smile.
The two of them didn't stay, this place was already very far away from Xuantian Sect, and it was getting dark, if they couldn't find a place to rest before dark, then they would be in danger.
Finally, in the evening, Lin Xuan found a cave with a small lake next to the cave, which was more suitable for resting.
Lin Xuan and the others tidied up, decided to stay for the time being, and then move forward tomorrow, after all, this is a primeval forest, and the night is still very dangerous.
In the evening, the firelight danced in the forest, Lin Xuan hunted a wild boar, then peeled it off by the lake, and put it on the forehead fire rack, Tang Yu was like a little gluttonous cat, drooling beside him.
Lin Xuan watched from the sidelines, with a faint smile on his face, and suddenly, he frowned and looked ahead.
At this moment, an exclamation came: "Big brother, there is fire here!"
"Haha, that's great, I finally don't have to travel at night!" came a rough voice.
Lin Xuan sat up straight and immediately held the long sword in his hand to ensure that he could strike at any time, and Tang Yu also looked at the four directions vigilantly.
"We are a blood-colored mercenary group, excuse me!" A loud laugh came, and immediately after, five figures appeared in front of Lin Xuan.
It was a group of burly young men, about twenty to thirty years old, very young. Each of them had a package behind them, a sword hanging from their bodies, and a tired look.
"Du Ping in the Scarlet Mercenary Group, these are my brothers, who have lost their way in the mountains, and want to spend the night here, and I hope that my brothers will be accommodating. ”
Lin Xuan glanced at a few people, these people had cold faces, their eyes were bright, and they looked like people who often lived on the tip of the knife. What surprised Lin Xuan even more was that this young man named Du Ping had actually reached the sixth order of condensation veins in his cultivation, and several other people were also around the fifth order.
"These people want to do it, they don't need to do anything else, it seems that they just want to borrow it for one night. Lin Xuan thought.
"We, the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, should take care of each other when we are away from home. Lin Xuan smiled and made a gesture of please.
"Haha, then we're welcome!" Du Ping laughed, and then walked over with his brother behind him.
