450: Ancestor
"Why are you still angry?" Li Xinci said curiously.
"There's been this kind of heat coming out from down there, and there's something smelling in the heat. The person in charge said: "I have sent people down to see, but I haven't seen anything, these people just went to a very shallow place, went to the depths, and never came back." β
The person in charge sighed: "Chief, if you want to go down, you must be careful, it is very strange down there, and I don't know what is underneath." β
"Well, we'll be careful. Liu Yichen glanced back at the white cat, and suddenly regretted bringing this little girl, if she took her below, she would definitely not be too safe.
Although the white cat is sometimes quite naΓ―ve, she is actually very smart and has a good IQ.
"Husband, don't worry, I will take good care of myself, and I am not as weak as you think. The white cat then flattened its mouth: "If you are afraid that I will drag you down, I will not go, I will wait for you above." β
Liu Yichen smiled bitterly: "It's not that I'm afraid that you will drag us down, but I'm worried about your safety." β
"Master, just let the cat sister follow me, and I will take care of her. Yizhu held the little hand of the white cat: "Such an opportunity is rare, if you can increase some knowledge and experience, it is also a very good thing." β
Li Xinci also said: "There are so many of us, how can we protect the cats." Although there may be many enemies below, Qilin can handle it alone, not to mention that there are masters like the Lost Pearl, as well as Shengdao and Xiaobai. β
Liu Yichen saw that everyone wanted to take the white cat, but in fact, he didn't want to bring it, but he was just worried about Xiao Nizi's safety.
"Okay, let's go. Liu Yichen held the white cat's little hand: "Grab my hand, don't run away." β
"I'm not going to lose it, I'm not a child. "The white cat has a small mouth, a delicate and cute appearance, which makes people feel pity.
Liu Yichen sighed helplessly: "Let's go, don't waste time." β
Twenty minutes later, Liu Yichen and his party had already come to the foggy underground.
It is a huge cave, but it is not a karst cave, it seems to be a cave formed by the drying up of an underground river.
This is not the first time Liu Yichen has seen such a cave, he has seen it many times, but the feeling here is a little different, and it gives Liu Yichen a very gloomy feeling.
Liu Yichen suddenly remembered the situation in the underground tunnel of Jingguo before, and it felt very similar to now.
Could it be that there are some terrifying creatures hidden in this underground?
However, speaking of which, the behemoth under Jing Kingdom is not terrifying, the nightmare beast is just very vicious, and it is not actually a murderous creature.
Now, the nightmare beast is still there, eating grass all day long.
What looks like a terrifying creature is not actually a scary creature, but a herbivore that doesn't eat any meat. How incredible.
However, if there were some behemoths hiding in this place, I am afraid it would not be such a kind creature.
Before Liu Yichen came down, he had seen this place with a clairvoyant eye, but unfortunately, he didn't see anything.
Moreover, Liu Yichen's gaze could not see through the entire underground, and from here to a deeper place, he could see nothing.
Liu Yichen took out a rope from his arms, he used the rope to tie the white cat's wrist, and tied the other end to his wrist: "If you can't keep up, just pull this rope, this rope is very strong, and you can keep cutting with a knife, I know that you are falling behind, and I will pull you over." β
"Got it, husband. The white cat clenched Liu Yichen's hand: "Husband, I will hold your hand tightly, and I won't fall behind." β
Liu Yichen nodded, interlocked with the white cat's ten fingers, and glanced at the foggy deep tunnel in front of him, he had a bad premonition, this time it didn't seem to be the right choice to come here.
Liu Yichen frowned, he suddenly sighed, turned around and said, "Let's go up first, rest today, and come down tomorrow." β
The white cat was puzzled: "Husband, why?"
"I suddenly had a very bad feeling, so I decided to give up this trip. Liu Yichen frowned and said, "My hunch has always been very accurate, go up." β
"What's the sound?" "It's not good, it's collapsed." β
Liu Yichen also heard the boom, he glanced at it, and immediately saw that the entrance to the entrance had collapsed.
Liu Yichen hurriedly beckoned everyone to rush forward, and just ran dozens of meters away, the ground under his feet shook, and the entrance to the entrance completely collapsed, and it was impossible to get out from there.
Liu Yichen stopped and squinted at the top of the entrance, where someone had blown it up, and it was not a natural collapse at all.
That is, someone doesn't want them to leave, but wants them to go inside.
Liu Yichen's heart felt even more inappropriate, it seems that this mission is full of danger.
Liu Yichen sighed: "Let's go, let's go forward and see what's going on." β
Everyone's hearts were also heavy, and they felt that this trip was full of unknown dangers.
"The collapse just now must have been man-made, not something that happened naturally. "It seems that someone doesn't want us to leave, and there must be many traps waiting for us down here." β
Heavenly Saint Dao frowned: "Who is going to do this? It seems that the other party knows us very well and knows our whereabouts well, and it may even be specially arranged, just to let us come here and then implement this plan." β
"It's not something that one person can do, it's something that a lot of people can do together. Li Xinci thought for a while: "Brother Chen, this is a conspiracy that someone deliberately targeted you. β
Liu Yichen thought about it, and his eyes suddenly narrowed: "Could it be him, he was also involved in this operation?"
Liu Yichen thought of that old man, he had always respected this old man, if it was true, it would be too disappointing.
Liu Yichen doesn't want to think about this problem for the time being, here, there is no signal on the phone, there is no way to contact the outside, everything is redundant, everything has to be said after going out from here.
Liu Yichen pursed his lips, he believed that he would be able to leave here, and he would leave here with everyone!
Liu Yichen stared at the front, quickened his pace, and everyone followed closely, in a very solemn mood.
It's a long tunnel, and it's very wide and the frame is very high, so it forms a very large space.
The further you go, the thicker the fog becomes.
Liu Yichen smelled a strong fishy smell in the air, this was the smell of blood.
Liu Yichen blinked, looked forward intently, and suddenly saw some corpses lying in a pool of blood.
These corpses are all soldiers, they should be the people sent by the unit above, and now these people have all died and become cold corpses.
Why the cold corpses, because these corpses have all been frozen into ice lumps.
Liu Yichen felt that the air around him was falling, and he gradually felt a very large aura.
"God, this is the smell of the ice phoenix. The lost pearl suddenly exclaimed: "This is the smell of the ice phoenix, is this a phoenix nest?"
Everyone saw the corpses, and after Liu Yichen checked them: "It's true that they weren't killed by humans, but I don't know what kind of creature made it, this creature will use freezing techniques." Are you sure this is what Ice Phoenix tastes like?"
"That's right, that's what Ice Phoenix tastes like. Yizhu nodded vigorously: "Master, this must be the taste of the ice phoenix, it will definitely not be wrong, except for the taste of the ice phoenix, there will not be any creature The taste is so awe-inspiring and inviolable, and it is also full of the smell of slaughter." If this is the Phoenix Nest, it is no wonder that these people will all die, because the Phoenix Nest will not allow outsiders to enter at all. β
"Then when we enter here, aren't we dead?" Li Xinci looked at the missing pearl: "Why do you feel like you are very excited?"
"Of course I'm excited, because the phoenix is originally a god worshiped by our bereaved family, and we are also the blood of the phoenix. "The phoenix was actually a person's name a long, long time ago. That's the ancestor of our Phoenix Clan, Phoenix Ancestor!"
"Phoenix Ancestor?" Liu Yichen thought for a while: "This seems to be the legend outside that there is no such person as such." β
"If I say a name, you'll know she's a zΓ i. "This person's name is Houtu, and he is among the twelve ancestral witches!"
"Huh?" Liu Yichen said in surprise: "Is it the Houtu among the Twelve Ancestral Witches? β
"Yes, our ancestor was a woman. The bead said: "The phoenix is a creature that is the mount of the ancestor of the Houtu. At that time, the whole world was in an ocean, and the ancestor of the phoenix opened up the underground world, so that our bereaved family could be passed down and passed down to this day. And the phoenix, as the creature with the deepest connection with us, will not be so hostile to us, because we have the breath of the ancestor in us, which will make them feel cordial and awe-inspiring. β
There are a lot of corpses here, there can be dozens of people, and they are obviously very scared when they die, so their expressions are very hideous and frightened, and their eyes are wide open, which looks very weird.
"None of these people were actually frozen to death, they were all scared to death. Liu Yichen said: "Could it be that the ice phoenix is so terrifying that they are all frightened?"
"Well, it's a little weird. Yizhu said: "It's true that the ice phoenix is very intimidating, but it won't scare people to death, it should give people a very shocking feeling." Could it be that they all saw something else?"
Call.
Suddenly, a strong wind surged, and everyone smelled a disgusting smell.
Roar.
A low roar sounded, like the cry of the devil from hell, and the earthquake trembled.
Liu Yichen stared at it and said in shock: "Oops, this is not an ice phoenix, this is a big worm!"
The big insect Liu Yichen saw was either a tiger or a big bug!
This big insect is too big, it can be 100 meters long, three or four meters thick, its body is covered with scales, and its eyes are fiery red, and it looks very ferocious.
The speed of this big worm crawling was extremely fast, but in the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of several people.
At this time, it was too late to leave, and at the speed of this big worm, the speed of everyone's escape was estimated to be not as fast as its speed.
When the unicorn saw the big insect, his eyes flashed with a strong battle intent, and with a roar, he pounced.
Boom, boom, boom.
Although the body of the big insect is huge, its movements are extremely flexible, and its long tail with many spikes flicks up like a javelin and stabs at the unicorn.
