Chapter 61: Under the Sand
When the other teams were stunned when they heard Yin Jiuchen's shout, Xia Lian and the three of them were the first to react, and stayed away from this place in an instant when Yin Jiuchen reminded them.
The sand with a diameter of several tens of meters suddenly loosened and sinked, and the Yin Jiuchen team had already run to the range close to being affected, but when it was still a few meters away from the outermost circle of impact, the sand under their feet could no longer borrow strength.
Before losing momentum, Yin Jiuchen grabbed Xia Lian's hand and threw it out, and slapped his hands on the backs of Miyazu Yu and Qiu Muyi, allowing them to jump out of the quicksand range with their strength.
Yin Jiuchen, on the other hand, fell into a huge quicksand range, followed by the other two squads, and was swallowed up together.
"Jiuchen!" Xia Lian turned around and wanted to rush back into the quicksand hole, but her arms were grabbed by Miyazu Yu and Qiu Muyi, tears overflowed in her eyes, and she knelt weakly on the sand to watch Yin Jiuchen being swallowed by the quicksand.
Who would have thought that the Lord of Quicksand was still fighting with Jin Wu, but this place was suddenly attacked?
The so-called Lord of Quicksand is not only one at all!
Stepping on the soft quicksand, Yin Jiuchen felt like he was stuck in a swamp. Seeing that Xia Lian and the three of them were out of danger, Yin Jiuchen smiled freely, urging the meager aura to wrap himself, watching the sand bury itself little by little, and finally fell into darkness.
Under the sand, there were seven or eight passages, and before Yin Jiuchen could react, he was forced to enter one of them. Obviously, these passages were specially drilled out by the Lord of Quicksand to divide the combat power, and although it was very powerful, it was equally uncomfortable to be attacked by human groups.
After tossing and turning a few holes, Yin Jiuchen finally stepped on the ground and stopped, at this time the place where he was standing was already dozens of meters below the sand. There are tunnels dug out of the ground, four or five meters wide and high, and there are many passages in all directions, and there are occasional quicksand falling on the top of the passages, bringing a faint light here.
Yin Jiuchen put away the ordinary stainless steel sword, replaced it with a dark iron sword, his eyes were dyed purple, he checked his surroundings, and found no other movement, so he chose a direction at random and walked forward with the sword.
Yin Jiuchen thought about jumping to the hole where the quicksand fell at the top of the passage and returning to the ground from there, but the sand at the entrance of the cave couldn't borrow power at all, and he had to find the hole without quicksand.
It was very quiet under the passage, except for the sound of sand falling, only the slight footsteps of Yin Jiuchen remained, judging from the size of the passage, the size of the Lord of Quicksand was almost four meters long and wide, which was not easy to deal with.
The ground is not full of sand, occasionally there are some shiny stones, Yin Jiuchen picked up a few and observed, there is a strong spiritual energy and scorching breath, it is the Desolate Flame Crystal, presumably there is a Desolate Flame Crystal Mine nearby. Maybe the two masters of quicksand stayed here because of the Desolate Flame Crystal Mine, but Yin Jiuchen didn't have the heart to find the source of the ore now, so he would get out of this underground labyrinth first.
The passage under the ground was like a labyrinth, and when Yin Jiuchen walked to a Y-shaped passage, he was thinking about which way to go, when he suddenly sensed a slight movement coming from the left. He quietly moved to the fork and stuck to the wall of the passage on the right, holding the Darkiron Sword in his hand, holding his breath to hide himself.
The sound in the passage was very slight, not like a giant monster in action, but a bit like a small species like a mouse, Yin Jiuchen guessed that it should be some small beast race in the desert. Although these beasts are small, it must not be easy to survive in such a harsh environment, and they must not be taken lightly.
When the sound was about to arrive at the intersection of the three passages, the spiritual qi on the tip of the Yin Jiuchen sword swirled, holding it obliquely in front of him, his right foot suddenly stepped out of the intersection of the two passages, and the left foot pushed the body to flip with the right foot as the anchor point, and the Xuantie sword danced with the body and drew an arc, turning into a phantom sword tip with a wind-breaking roar, accurately slashing towards a small purple beast clan.
No, Yin Jiuchen's eyes suddenly increased, and he forcibly stopped his movements, and the tip of his sword stopped about an inch away from the little beast clan.
At this time, a panicked female voice came from the passage: "Xiao Zi!"
The little squirrel, named Xiao Zi, only then reacted, glanced at the tip of the sword that was close to Chi Qi, and then turned his head to look at the young man who was a little embarrassed, and then realized that he was scared, and shrank in place and trembled.
Yin Jiuchen put away the Xuantie Sword, looked at the girl who ran over in a panic on the other side, I didn't know what to say, I didn't expect it to be Yun Xiaoyi's pet Xiao Zi, if he had stopped it slower just now, Xiao Zi would not have survived.
Yun Xiao was also very surprised that he met Yin Jiuchen here. But now Xiao Zi is very scared, she has to be appeased first, she looked at Yin Jiuchen apologetically, picked up Xiao Zi who was trembling, stroked Xiao Zi's hair, and let it settle down.
After all, Xiao Zi had also experienced being chased and killed by various hunters, but he quickly recovered, but his eyes still revealed fear from time to time when he looked at Yin Jiuchen, and he didn't feel danger at all. Originally, it wanted to do its part for its master and volunteered to run ahead to explore the way, but now it is buried in the girl's arms and does not dare to run around.
"I'm sorry for the trouble Xiaozi has caused you. Yun Xiao also bowed to Yin Jiuchen.
With the same good temper as the rumors, Yin Jiuchen sighed secretly, this was originally his fault, and Yun Xiao apologized first.
"It's also my fault, I didn't investigate it clearly. Yin Jiuchen was a little embarrassed.
After the words fell, the two began to be silent, standing in place and looking around, and they didn't dare to meet their eyes, but the quieter they were, the more intense their hearts beated, and Yin Jiuchen seemed to hear the heartbeat in his chest.
That strange feeling started again.
Yin Jiuchen cautiously turned his head to look at the girl, and found that the girl was the same as him, with crimson cheeks.
Sighed secretly, although the atmosphere was very strange, but Yin Jiuchen, as a man, naturally had to take the initiative to break the embarrassment.
"Ahem, did you find anything along the way?" asked Yin Jiuchen.
"Not yet, only some desolate flame crystals have been found, the exit has not yet been discovered, and the Lord of Quicksand has not yet appeared. Yun Xiao also replied carefully.
Hopefully, the conversation can go on.
"Do you want to go together? Yin Jiuchen proposed.
"Good. ”
The two of them chose the passage they had not walked to move forward. Yin Jiuchen brought up the topic from Xiao Zi, and Yun Xiao also replied very happily, talking while walking, and talked about a lot of things, but both of them deliberately avoided topics that had special feelings for each other, not only because they were shy, but also because they had never heard of such a thing.
Now that the danger has not been lifted, all other thoughts should be put down.
Although Yin Jiuchen was chatting, he had been paying attention to the movements around him, the Lord of Quicksand was very domineering, and there were no other beasts in this passage.
In the silent passage, a faint smell of blood wafted from nowhere, Yin Jiuchen sniffed it carefully, and recognized that it was the smell of human blood, and gestured to Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao also nodded in understanding, and the two moved forward in silence.
The smell of blood meant that the battle was nearby, maybe someone was injured, maybe he was dead, and Yin Jiuchen cheered up.
