Chapter 198: The Secret of the Ghost Prison

When he saw the pair of crimson eyes as big as copper bells in the dark, Qing Ming suddenly felt his scalp tingle. Xiang Ji beside him felt that those eyes were staring at them tightly.

There were a few dull noises in the darkness, followed by small tremors, and the dust above the passage fell in unison, and the firelight on both sides of the stone wall shook even more violently with this tremor.

"What's going on, is there an earthquake?" Xiang Ji's face turned pale.

Qing Ming shook his head at him, saying that he didn't know what was going on, but he was sure that the movement must have something to do with the eyes in the dark.

It only took two breaths for the two of them to see what was in the darkness.

It was a behemoth, as large as a hill, its body almost filling the dark prison, its mouth cracked, and its two rows of sharp fangs glowing in the dim light of the fire.

Qing Ming, who has always been calm and composed, couldn't help but feel numb when he saw the sight in front of him, although this is also a prison, but it is not humans who are imprisoned, but some fierce beasts.

Qing Ming seemed to remember something, I heard Xiang Ji once say that there were people who were also arrested here, and none of them survived, so where are these people? Qing Ming thought of this, and came to a conclusion, all of them were buried in the belly of the demon beast.

The two looked at each other, and both saw the consternation in each other's eyes, and they withdrew their gazes and walked forward again.

The firelight on both sides was like a demon prisoner welcoming the visiting guests, and then, as the two of them went deeper and deeper, their hearts became heavy.

Every once in a while, they would find a dark cave on each side, and from what they had just experienced, they knew that these caves were holding demon beasts. Therefore, when they passed through the caves on both sides, they deliberately slowed their steps, so as not to wake up the sleeping demon beasts.

At the end of the passage is an open space, with a circular pool in the middle, and a stone pillar in the center of the pool, and a dragon head at the top of the stone is lifelike, and the water flows from the mouth of this dragon, and there is only the sound of water flowing in this dark and quiet space.

Just as they were about to step into this space, Qing Ming sensed that something was wrong.

The passage outside was lit with fire, but at the end of the space there was only a fire, and the firelight came from the top of the dragon's head, while the dragon's mouth below the firelight spat out water, and from a distance, it seemed as if the water column was born from the fire.

"What's wrong?" said Xiang Ji as he looked at Qing Ming suspiciously.

"Do you think it's strange that we didn't get in the way of the road, it's obviously unreasonable!" Qing Ming frowned.

Xiang Ji thought for a moment, turned his head to look behind him, and saw that the firelight on both sides of the stone wall was still burning brilliantly, and the four sides on both sides showed a bright and dark scene, and the dark place was the space cell where the demon beast was held.

"It's really too smooth!" Xiang Ji nodded, and his whole body involuntarily moved a step towards the spacious space in front of him.

At this moment, he felt the soles of his feet loosen, as if he had guessed something, and before he could react, he heard a "click" sound.

Although the voice was not loud, it sounded like thunder in the ears of the two of them, and Xiang Ji was even more covered in cold sweat.

Xiang Ji looked down and saw that a floor tile under his feet had been trampled on by him.

"Don't move!" Xiang Ji just wanted to take back his scream, but was stopped by Qing Ming.

At this moment, a stream of heat came out of nowhere, and in the blink of an eye, a wall of fire instantly sealed the path in front of them, and this wall of fire was only a foot away from Xiang Ji's foot.

This sudden scene made Xiang Ji involuntarily retract his feet, and the rear passage of his entire body took a few steps back.

The moment he retracted his foot, the tile returned to its original shape.

The next scene made their hairs shudder.

I saw that the ground of the originally bright passage gradually cracked one after another, and the top of the passage also cracked like the ground, and at the same time as the top cracked, the two of them saw something sticking out of the crack.

When the thing was partially protruding, the two of them could see its face clearly.

It was a stone knife, and the sharp edge of the stone shimmered, which showed that it was so sharp.

Stone knives slashed from the top to the ground, one after the other, like a curtain of water, completely blocking the passage.

Even more lethal was the fact that the stone knives approached them at a breakneck speed.

The two of them were in a desperate situation, with an unpredictable wall of fire in front of them and rows of razor-sharp stone knives behind them.

"Jump into the fire!" Qing Ming pulled the halberd and jumped towards the wall of fire in front of him without saying a word.

The wall of fire was unexpectedly thick, and after the two of them jumped in, an unbearable heat swept towards the two of them. Although Qing Ming released his spiritual power to try to stop the invasion of this heat, his whole body was also in pain as if he had been burned by fire.

What kind of fire is this! Qing Ming was surprised in his heart, he felt as if this fire could break through his own spiritual power cover, and his spiritual power cover gradually dissolved under the erosion of the flames.

Although it was in the spiritual power cover of Qing Ming, after all, there was also a certain distance from Qing Ming, and the energy of the spiritual power cover was limited, and Xiang Ji's body instantly burned.

Seeing Xiang Ji struggling around, Qing Ming used the phantom step to speed up his progress, but the wall of fire at the end made Qing Ming feel a long feeling, and even the phantom step seemed to have lost its effect under this wall of fire.

In a few breaths they had broken through the wall of fire, but they felt like hours had passed.

Xiang Ji turned into a living person at this moment, screaming in pain.

Qing Ming quickly came to his side, grabbed him, and threw him into the circular pool not far away.

"Squeak!" a few sounds came to mind from the pool, and after a while, Xiang Ji crawled out of the pool, his face was scorched, his hair was messy, and only a burning pants were left on his body, just enough to cover his crotch, and he looked like a wild man.

"Burn me, burn me!" Xiang Ji howled in pain.

Qing Ming walked in and saw Xiang Ji's appearance, with a look of surprise on his face.

The reason why Qing Ming was shocked was not that Xiang Ji's clothes were basically burned now, but that Xiang Ji had no signs of burning except for his skin that was a little red under the burning of that fire.

That kind of fire that could scorch spiritual power didn't hurt Xiang Ji in the slightest, Qing Ming knew that Xiang Ji's physical strength was far more comparable to others, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.

"Brother Xiang, are you okay!" Qing Ming said as he looked at Xiang Ji in the pool worriedly.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, except for a little heat, it's fine!" Xiang Ji grinned at Qing Ming, and then said, "But the water here is so cold, I feel that there are two heavens of ice and fire in my body!"

Qing Ming nodded, reached out and touched the water in the pool, and a cold breath instantly spread through Qing Ming's body, and Qing Ming couldn't help but withdraw his hand.

Fire on one side, ice on the other.

Xiang Ji was about to walk out of the pool, when suddenly, an accident happened.
