Chapter 186: Passage

Seeing the figures of the two disappear into the snow, the emperor's hanging heart finally fell, but fortunately he didn't offend the two of them, and finally sent them away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, the mountains were covered with snow, and the two men and one beast were very eye-catching in the endless silver, looking fragile and small. The mountain forest, which was supposed to be overgrown with weeds and trees, has lost its greenery, and the only remaining pine trees have been covered with their original color.

Shi Xuan was very skeptical, in such weather, would the weak-looking Awakening Spirit Grass really survive? Even if it really exists, I'm afraid it will be weighed down by the thick snow. Thinking about Shi Xuan, I couldn't help but feel down, when will such a step-by-step search be the end? They had been in the mountains for seven days, and they had not found a single hair.

"We're almost done looking for this mountain, let's go around that lake and find a place." Hei Nian's tall and broad figure walked in front of Shi Xuan, blocking most of the wind and snow, and her calm voice came along the wind and snow, soothing a lot of irritability in her heart.

Shi Xuan took a deep breath, cheered up and continued to move forward, "Well, you are careful, the lake ice is thin, don't step on the air." ”

Hei Nian turned his head and smiled at Shi Xuannuan, "It's just right, you don't have to leave if I step on the empty place, so as not to get your feet wet." Unbeknownst to him, it was this turn that the two happened to miss the shocking scene.

Beneath the clear ice, a huge black shadow quickly streaked under the feet of the two of them, and the strange shape resembled the ugly demons of hell. The two of them didn't know anything, and walked step by step towards the mountain range across the lake despite the wind and snow. When he reached the middle of the lake, the hairball squeaked out of Shi Xuan's shoulder.

"Furball, what are you doing, come back."

The hairball turned its head and squeaked excitedly at Shi Xuan, and ran wildly towards an inconspicuous corner of the lake. The two of them looked in the direction of the hairball's running, and saw a small green grass standing stubbornly in the silver sky.

"Awakening Spirit Grass!"

The hairball grabbed the awakening spirit grass and waved in the direction of Shi Xuan to invite merit. However, before the smile on his face could ripple, the ice under his feet, centered on the hollow left by the roots of the awakening grass, collapsed in a spider web.

The hairball fell into it along with the Awakening Grass.

"Furball!"

Shi Xuan and the two were shocked, and jumped down without hesitation along the passage where the hairball fell.

"Furball, how are you?"

Shi Xuan fell about twenty meters before he stopped, and at this time, the hairball was frightened by the sudden change and was sitting on the frozen soil mixed with ice slag. Suddenly hearing Shi Xuan's voice, he threw himself into her arms aggrievedly, still pinching the precious herb in his hand.

"It's okay. Fortunately, the lake is all frozen, otherwise you would have suffered. Let's go up. Shi Xuan rejoiced while caressing its head.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of thin ropes from the depths of the ground, which sounded like the sound of countless Gu insects being pinched and exploded when they were in Southern Xinjiang. Shi Xuan and Hei Nian glanced at each other, both of them were puzzled, could it be that there are still living creatures underground in this winter? All the attention that was on the furball was pulled back into the thick ice by the strange sound.

Only then did I realize that starting from the place where the hairball fell, there was a pitch-black passage under the ice. It stands to reason that there is nothing but ice and water under the lake, so why is there a passage that does not see the light of day?

Driven by curiosity, the two did not immediately turn back to the ice, but walked along the passage in front of them. This time, the two of them became more and more confused. There is not only one passage as imagined, some lead to other mountains, some lead to the surface of the lake, and some even extend deep underground.

Shi Xuan followed the passage down, groped in, the light became darker and darker, and he had to sacrifice the luminous beads. By the faint light, it is not difficult to see that this passage is five people wide and two people high. The walls of the cave were so smooth as if they had been waxed, and to the surprise of the two, a Awakening Grass occasionally popped up.

"What's going on? Why is it that at the bottom of this lake, which does not see the light of day, can grow medicinal herbs? What exactly does it live on? Shi Xuan was puzzled.

"This passage is obviously not natural, could it be that someone deliberately dug it out to plant the Awakening Spirit Grass? Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the origin of this cave and the frequent occurrence of the Awakening Grass. Black Nian analyzed his cheeks.

"It's not impossible, shhhhh Suddenly, Shi Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, signaled the two of them to silence, and listened carefully, "Did you hear it, it was the disgusting popping sound just now." ”

"Yes, indeed, and the voice is getting more and more pronounced, as if it is approaching us." Hei Nian stared for a moment and also discovered, "It should have come from another passage." ”

"What to do? Could it be a pus-bleeding, disgusting monster? Shall we continue to move on, or shall we wait for it here. In this oppressive and narrow passage, Shi Xuan was a little flustered, and she didn't know what it was, which made her even more cranky.

As he spoke, the sound of thin ropes got closer and closer, and in a moment, a huge black shadow slowly slid towards the location of the two people. That's right, it's sliding, and the black shadow seems to be covered in wax, and it just stabs along the smooth cave wall for a long time.

If you look closely, you can't help but feel your scalp tingle, the huge phantom is not a monster, but is composed of dense black beetles, which are constantly rolling forward one by one, looking like they are sliding on the cave wall.

The black year avoided countless golden blades, one by one, Shi Xuan did not dare to use fire spells under this ice, and the ice picks and thorns kept hitting the group of beetles one by one. However, the number of beetles was too large, and the passage was narrow, and the two of them could not use their skills. Seeing that he was about to approach, Shi Xuan had to pull a man and a beast into the space to dodge.

In the space, Shi Xuan observed the movement of the Beetle with the spiritual power that was emitted from the outside. I saw that everywhere they went, there was white frost, and it slowly disappeared after they left for a while.

"They left, not looking like they were coming at us, as if something was drawing them in the depths of the passage. What do we do now? Seeing the Beetle leaving, Shi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked while retracting his spiritual power.

"I'm curious, what's in there? If it was just the Beetle, there was no need for such a large passage. Hei Nian said calmly, "The end of this passage should be where the truth lies. ”

"Hmm, I don't know what the situation is, shall we go in and have a look or leave here?" Shi Xuan was a little unsure, the Beetle alone was enough for them to work for a while, and if there were even more terrifying things inside, I didn't know if they could handle it alone.

"If we leave like this, it's hard to guarantee that they won't harm the people in the Imperial City, whether we can destroy them or not, let's try. What's more, there is space at hand to be afraid of anything. ”
