Chapter 54: Under the Ancient Well
"This direction is...... Oops!"
Xuan Ming's face changed, and then his body moved, rushing in the direction of the black mist eruption!
"Nine Springs Dragon, condense and turn into one!"
Xuan Ming's lips and teeth opened, and his mouth seemed to have words, and then an ice blue light lit up from the palms of his hands, and with the seal in his hand, a little bit of ice blue light gradually appeared in the surrounding dense forest, and the points of light gathered more and more, and began to blend with each other like water droplets, and condensed into a huge translucent arc light shield within a radius of tens of meters around, covering the rapidly spreading black mist.
"Click...... Click......
The withered branches continued to fall in the gusts of wind, and the black fog that erupted was also spreading through the forest at a speed visible to the naked eye, and everywhere it passed, the grass and trees withered, until the arc of light shrouded the black fog, and the spread of the black fog was stopped.
"Close!"
Xuan Ming shouted, the seal in his hand changed again, as the words fell, the arc-shaped light mask covering the sky above the black fog suddenly contracted sharply, and the black fog that was blocked in the light mask also seemed to be restrained, and had to converge towards the center of the black fog outbreak; gradually, the light mask shrank smaller and smaller, and finally froze on an empty flat ground, only to see that in the center of the black mist light mask, an ancient and gloomy stone well stood silently in it, and the black fog continued to gush out along the well, obviously this is the source.
"There are so many miasma spewing out of the well, could it be that the 'Array Eye' has been ......" Xuan Ming stood in front of the light mask, thinking of the sudden shaking of the ground before, and his face was a little ugly. "I'm afraid something happened again in 'that place'!"
"This well ......" gluttony stared at the ancient well in the light mask, as if he remembered something, and turned his head to look at Xuan Ming. "Could it be the 'Yellow Spring Well' that can lead to hell in the outside world, right?"
"This well is one of the hidden entrances to 'that place', and it is not an exaggeration to call it 'Huangquan Well' for ordinary people. Xuan Ming said. "The seal was only partially destroyed before, and if even the 'Array Eye' is destroyed, the seal will soon be broken, and when the time comes, it will ...... I'm afraid that it will ruin lives. ”
"We have the ability to break the seal we strengthened back then, and I'm afraid it's not easy to destroy it......" Tao Tao pondered. "Do you have eyebrows about the guy who broke the seal?"
“…… In fact, a few years ago, there was a team of sneaky foreigners who infiltrated this forest to explore, and not long after they came here, a landslide occurred, and then the seal began to loosen, the miasma gradually leaked, and those foreigners never appeared again......" Xuan Ming frowned slightly. "I remember that before the landslide, there was a loud bang in the direction of the camp where the foreigners were. ”
"Do you suspect that those foreigners broke the seal and directly caused the landslide back then?" "That seal is made of powerful mana, even you and I may not be able to move it, how can a mere human be able to do it?"
"I don't know...... However, the seal did loosen after the event, and it was another group of 'special humans' who caused further damage to "that seal". Xuan Ming looked at the gluttony, and said with a straight face.
"I wanted to tell you before that there was a group of people who found 'that place' and awakened 'them' in some way, and it was because of 'their' awakening that the seal was further broken, although I don't know where they learned the secret of 'that place'......"
"Humans who can enter 'that place'...... Hehe, things are getting interesting. Gluttony stared at the ancient well in the light mask and said with a smile. "You stay here to control the barrier and stop the miasma from spreading, and I'll go down and see what happens. ”
After saying that, he took another step forward, preparing to enter the inside of the light mask, and at this moment, as if he had suddenly discovered something, he paused and turned his head to look at a clearing not far from the ancient well.
I saw that in the center of the clearing there were scattered a lot of charred black soot, which were blowing in the breeze, and in the middle of the pile of charcoal ash, there seemed to be a faint glint of blue-green light in it.
"It's ...... Avoiding the air bead?" gluttony possessed and picked up the blue-green bead that fell into the charcoal ash, carefully observed it for a moment, and then reached out and pinched a small pinch of charcoal ash next to it, put it under his nose and sniffed it gently.
"What's the matter, did you find anything?" asked Xuan Ming, noticing the gluttonous move.
“…… I'm afraid the 'fifth' monster that fled into the woods won't have to be looked for anymore. Tao Tao put away the air avoidance beads, then got up and patted the charcoal ash in his hand, and after being silent for a long time, he said something of unknown meaning.
Xuan Ming just wanted to continue to ask, but heard another roar coming from the ground, with the violent vibration of the soles of the feet of the two, this time the black mist ejected from the ancient well seemed to increase unabated, Xuan Ming saw this and hurriedly sealed the somewhat fluctuating light mask again, and at the same time moved his gaze to the gluttony who was about to walk towards the ancient well, and said:
"The situation below may be even worse than I originally expected, are you okay alone?"
"Hehe, who do you think I am?"
Gluttony smiled noncommittally, then ignored the dense black fog and turned to disappear into the light mask.
---------------------
[Jianyun, this is the "evil sword" that our Mu family has passed down from generation to generation, and it is now handed over to you, I hope you can revive the glory of the family. 】
A tall and majestic figure appeared in front of the young man and handed a simple blue long sword into the young man's hand.
[Please rest assured that Jian Yun will live up to his trust. 】
The young man carefully took the long sword, his right hand gently brushed the sword body, and with a burst of blue light, the long sword turned into a phantom and burrowed into the young man's palm.
[Speaking of which, it seems that a 'colorless physique' person has been found above recently, and I have already greeted the leader, so you and your cousin Qing Yu will test each other. The figure continued. [If the other party is really a person with a 'colorless physique' that is rare in a thousand years, then we must not watch him being snatched away by other families, as long as there is that person, then the revitalization of our Mu family is even more promising. 】
[Yes......]
The young man raised his head and looked at the ambition and fanaticism in his father's eyes in front of him, and a faint trace of worry flashed in his heart, but he still did not say anything, and after saluting respectfully, he turned to take his leave......
……
[Look, that is the young master of the Mu family, who became a four-star spirit envoy at a young age, it seems that the Mu family has been in decline for so long, and there is finally hope of turning over......]
The whispers echoed in his ears, and the young man walked with a blank face, trying to block out the gossip.
[Isn't it, speaking of which, there are fewer and fewer descendants of the Mu family in recent generations who have a physique that can borrow the power of the demon god, and the power in the Lingyutai is too bad as before, and now it is difficult to produce such a good seedling, and the Mu family is almost all the strength of the whole clan to cultivate him. 】
[But...... Although he can cultivate to the point where he can open the three Five Elements attribute at his age, he can already be regarded as a genius, but it is still a bit of a gap compared to the 'real genius', I heard that the leader has recently discovered a talent with a 'colorless attribute', which is not only compatible with the Five Elements attribute, but can even accommodate the 'power of the fierce beast'! Now the leader is trying his best to win him over, and other forces, including the Mu family, seem to be interested in that person......]
[Wow, it's really fake, then the status of the little young master of the Mu family is not guaranteed? hehe, this is interesting......]
…… It's nonsense......
The young man's brows furrowed slightly, his fists gradually clenched, he turned around, and looked angrily at the gossiping crowd, only to find that the shadow in the corner suddenly became distorted and blurred, and in the blink of an eye, the scene changed again, and in front of the young man, it was the figure of his father who was both familiar and in awe of him.
[The test results have made it clear that the kid surnamed Jiang does have a 'colorless physique'. The figure said slowly. [It's just that I heard that this person is not very interested in becoming a Spirit Imperial Divine Envoy, and it seems that he is still being targeted by the underworld, and even Lu Jingyi is still standing still, so the various factions in the Spirit Imperial Platform are still waiting, but we can't waste time doing nothing. 】
[Since that person just wants to live an ordinary life and has no intention of participating in our world, then why must he be wooed?] The young man looked at his ambitious father in front of him, and seemed to hesitate.
The moment he was instilled with the "power of the beast", he was destined to never return to the world of ordinary people. The figure snorted coldly and said. [And even if we let him go, the forces of other families will not!At that time, the position of our Mu family will be even more delicate!]
......The young man bowed his head and remained silent.
[In addition, I heard that this time, you and Qing Yu were arranged by Lu Jingyi to go to Huaijiang Mountain to visit the acting leader of the Demon God Mansion, 'Ying Zhao', and convey the appearance of the 'Soul Suppression Stone' to the Spirit Imperial Stage, right?] The figure sorted out his tone and opened his mouth again.
[Yes......]
[Hehe, that's just right, I learned that the kid surnamed Jiang was recently assigned by Lu Jingyi to investigate the case in Yuanqiu Mountain near Huaijiang Mountain with gluttony, you went to Yuanqiu Mountain after you finished your work, and found an opportunity to get close to him to find out the truth, if that kid is interested in joining our forces, it's best, if not...... I think you should know how to do it. 】
The young man looked up and looked at the figure in front ......of him in disbelief.
[Instead of letting him be a help to other factions, let him disappear.] The figure sneered. [Just know about this yourself, don't tell anyone else, including Qing Yu.] 】
[Father!Anyway, that person is innocent, please think twice!]
[Mu Jianyun, don't forget your position and the heavy responsibility on your shoulders!] The figure pointed at the young man and roared. [Being involved in this dispute is his 'fate'! If you insist on the kindness of a woman again, it will affect not only you, but our entire Mu family! Give me a good idea!]
[But the Father...... Hmm!] The young man opened his mouth slightly, and wanted to say something more, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't say half a word, and the figure in front of him began to slowly retreat, and finally dissipated into the boundless darkness like a cloud of smoke.
“…… Father...... Kiss...... I...... Ahem, ahem!!"
Mu Jianyun opened his eyes suddenly, coughed violently, and after the short dream dissipated, the pain in his body immediately returned him to the cold reality.
He got up, and in the dim light, he saw Jiang Yao crouching beside him, looking at him calmly.
