Chapter XVII. Changes
Ye Chen's face was a little pale. I haven't eaten anything for more than ten days in a row, and just now I consumed a lot of soul yuan to repair the broken bones, and my body was already barely supporting.
When he swam to the shore, he wanted to lie down and sleep deeply, but under this abyss, he didn't know what unknown dangers there would be, so Ye Chen didn't dare to relax his vigilance.
Fortunately, although it is deep underground, the vegetation on this shore is dense, and although there are no giant trees in the forest, there are many dry plant rhizomes.
He cleared a clearing, picked up some dry grass and trees, and took out the last fire fold wrapped in an oilcloth from his bosom and lit the dead grass.
The firelight made Ye Chen feel a little warm, and he used the long sword to cut the demon ape meat that he threw down before into several pieces, and skewered it with the long sword and placed it on top of the fire.
"Zizi."
Oil droplets make the flame even better. The smell of burnt meat made Ye Chen's index finger move. I couldn't help but hear a gurgling sound in my belly.
Turn the palm of your hand to let the meat evenly accept the baptism of flame, and then open the small cloth bag that you carry closely, and all kinds of ingredients are readily available. Although it has been soaked by the river just now, it has no effect.
The soaked clothes were also steamed out by the flames.
While roasting the meat, he carefully looked at it with the light of the crimson golden ancient tower.
Ye Chen didn't notice it in the river before, but when he arrived on the shore, he found that the gravity on his body felt that it had returned to normal. Only above the underground river is there a strong suction.
"I'm afraid there's something strange in this river, there's something wrong in the river, as if something exists, snooping on me, it's weird."
Ye Chen pondered carefully.
Looking at this red-gold ancient tower from the bottom up, you can really feel that this ancient tower is extremely high, there are seven layers, and the tower body is full of traces of knife and axe carving, and wisps of blood seem to have life.
The tower door on the first floor is uneven, and huge palm prints are highlighted from the tower.
"There won't be a more powerful beast in this ancient tower. This demon ape is strong enough, and the desolate beasts in this tower don't know how powerful they are. Who the hell buried himself in the ancient tower, and there was such a huge number of desolate beasts guarding it. ”
Ye Chen turned the roast meat while carefully observing the ancient tower.
This ancient pagoda is something that countless monks above the abyss want to get, and it is even said that there are immortal cultivation techniques buried in the ancient pagoda. The major sects would rather lose a large number of disciples than give up.
At this moment, this ancient tower is in front of him, but with his current ability, not to mention that he can't open the gate of the ancient tower, even if he opens it, the wild beasts dormant in the tower will tear themselves to pieces.
This feeling of having thousands of family assets but knowing that his life was short made Ye Chen extremely helpless. It's just that I don't know how deep this abyss is, and even the great masters of the Dust Slashing Realm don't dare to come down, so they can only use their soul power to pull the ancient tower up.
Knowing that he had nothing to do with the ancient tower, Ye Chen gave up. Look at the wreckage of the city on the shore.
Behind him is the huge city gate that I saw at the top of the tower, and on both sides is the wall that the abyss cannot be seen, standing alone under this abyss, dilapidated, a thick layer of dust shrouds these ruins, and I don't know how many years no one has set foot on it.
The gate tower on the gate had long since collapsed, and a plaque the size of two people was inserted diagonally in the collapsed ruins.
In the ruins on one side of the gate, a huge inscription as high as the gate rises, and the inherent luster of bronze makes the inscription look extraordinary.
A huge dragon head was faintly visible from the ruins under the monument.
Behind the huge inscription is a void, with no end in sight with the naked eye.
Ye Chen flipped the barbecue in his hand, a little worried, he couldn't fly in the sky, if the strong man above the abyss didn't pull the ancient tower up, how should he leave this abyss.
But at this moment, Ye Chen couldn't be allowed to think about it, the barbecue on the fire was already emitting an attractive aroma. Ye Chen couldn't wait to take out the dagger, cut a bite from the demon ape's flesh, and sent it to his mouth.
"Wow, there is such delicious meat in this world, compared to it, the roe deer meat of the previous days is like chewing wax." Ye Chen exclaimed.
Although the meat of this demon ape was not carefully cooked, it was only roasted roughly, but it melted in the mouth, and there was no time to chew it, so it turned into a warm current and flowed into the stomach.
The demon ape couldn't imagine that he would die, so he tried his best to jump off the cliff and save his body, but in the end, he was still dug up the soul pill, and even the meat was roasted and eaten by a young man who only had the soul realm. If you can sense it even if you die, I'm afraid the demon ape will have to cheat the corpse.
Ye Chen ate all the barbecue on the long sword in one go, only to feel warm and full of strength. There seemed to be a powerful essence in the stomach, turning into tangible soul power, flowing along the meridians to the limbs and hundreds of remains, and then through the virtual points around the body, like ocean waves, converging towards the dead soul.
In the dead soul, thunder and lightning, streams of essence converge in the dead soul, and then feed back to the body.
The leaves are drenched, and they are extremely hot. This demon ape's flesh actually contained such a huge amount of energy, and it was not a desolate beast in the Dust Cutting Realm, which caused drastic changes to occur in the dead souls who had cultivated for more than ten days without reaction.
Hurriedly sat cross-legged and guided the vitality in his body with his mind. The dead soul is a world of its own, and the mind is vast and boundless, and there is nothing but flashing thunder, but at this time there is a trickle. Then it slowly converges into a lake.
The half-human-sized dead soul continued to condense in his body, slowly shrinking. But the energy it contains is constantly increasing.
Ye Chen felt that if he continued to practice like this, the dead soul would shrink to the size of his heart, and he would even be able to break through the early stage of the soul realm and perceive the earth soul.
At the same time, the flesh and bones of the whole body are also undergoing a metamorphosis.
Sure enough, under the powerful energy, the dead soul slowly condensed into the size of a heart, and was closely connected to the imaginary point of the life soul. From the inside out, the blood-red veins are like the meridians of the human body, forming in the inky black dead soul.
"It's not enough! Again! This time, it broke through the early stage in one go. ”
Ye Chen felt the changes in his body and the dead soul, but the veins of the dead soul were only half formed, and the energy seemed to be exhausted. It's a long way from the consummation of the dead soul.
Without a moment's hesitation, he took out the soul pill in the demon ape's body from his arms, and the desire for power made Ye Chen a little crazy.
The soul pill floated in front of him, and the acupoints around his body were fully opened, and a more majestic and powerful force rushed towards the dead soul along the acupoints of the whole body, through the virtual points.
A faint red glow emanated from around Ye Chen's body. Black impurities spill out of the body.
At the same time, in the underground river directly in front of Ye Chen, there seemed to be something, and a spring gushed out in the turbulent river, silent.
