30. Demon Cave (II)
The six of them were now staying between two mountains full of greenery, the mountains on the left and right were like sharp swords pointing high into the sky, and the steep mountain walls extended down and connected together, forming the valley floor that several people were now raving, that is, the extremely deep Gathering Spirit Abyss. In front of them, the foot of the mountain seemed to have collapsed abruptly, and it was not connected, but almost vertically downward, forming a huge hole in the ground, I don't know if it was because of the early morning, it was filled with a thick white mist, and the bottom was completely invisible. The white mist even rose slowly, obscuring everyone's view, making it impossible to see how wide the cave was, and only shadowing about the pitifully small trees on the opposite side.
"Oh my God......" Nangong Piao looked at the shadows of the trees opposite and exclaimed, "I'm afraid the diameter of this cave is more than three kilometers!" ”
Looking at the mountain walls on both sides, Zhou Miao added lightly: "There are less than a thousand meters between the mountain walls, this is an oval, and," she looked up at the sky that she could finally see clearly, and said calmly, "I'm afraid that the one below is the real 'abyss'." ”
"What do you mean? We're not in the 'Gathering Spirit Abyss', this is the foot of the mountain! How is it possible that there is an abyss below? Looking at the map display in the communicator and confirming it again, Bai Lu tilted his head and asked puzzled.
Zuo Ling looked at the white mist lingering around him, and smiled lightly: "This is probably halfway up the mountain." ”
Hearing Zuo Ling say this, Bai Lu and Nangong Piao were both startled, Zhang Longqian stood on the edge of the huge hollow, looked towards the foggy inside, and muttered: "If this is halfway up the mountain, then what is the 'ground' like a valley that we are stepping on?" What's in the real 'valley' down there? ”
Nangong Piao seemed to have figured out something, and immediately faded away from surprise and smiled lightly, then he stepped forward, pulled Zhang Longqian back a little, and said with a gentle smile: "Won't you know if you go down and see?" ”
"I know this too, but," Zhang Longqian frowned in confusion, and then looked into the bottomless cave, "How do you go down?" ”
Nangong Piao smiled and squatted on the edge of the cave, pressing his hands on the ground, chanting softly.
Looking at Nangong Piao's actions, Zuo Ling stood beside Zhang Longqian and explained to her with a smile: "The Nangong family has a secret technique that can freely control the growth of plants. As long as he is there, even the abyss can be easily reached. ”
As he spoke, he saw a few young shoots appear from between Nangong Piao's fingers, growing in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, they had turned into dark green vines with a diameter of about thirty centimeters, the roots and veins firmly grasped the earth, and the branches and leaves meandered like a waterfall and grew rapidly towards the cave.
Zhang Longqian could only quietly watch the dark green life suddenly appear, and he was speechless for a while. At this time, she found that Nangong Piao's face had faded from her smile, she closed her eyes and frowned, and she immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Nangong Piao pursed his lips and was silent, just feeling it carefully, and everyone didn't urge him, they all waited quietly. After about two minutes, he opened his eyes and smiled a little reluctantly at the corners of his mouth: "It seems that we are really going to the abyss." ”
"Deep?" Zuo Ling raised his eyebrows lightly and asked.
Nangong Piao nodded solemnly: "It's very deep, at least 30,000 meters." It can't be the foot of the mountain down here. ”
"Thirty thousand meters?" Zhang Long was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked Zhou Miao: "Xiao Miao, how thick is the earth's crust?" ”
"Thirty-three kilometers." Zhou Miao walked to the side of the cave, looked at the white mist inside and said lightly, "Don't worry, you haven't reached the mantle yet, and there is no magma." ”
"That's almost to the depth of the earth's mantle." Zhang Long leaned out and looked down, sighed, and looked melancholy, "I can't climb rocks, when do I have to climb?" Is there a hurry? ”
After thinking for a while, Nangong Piao replied honestly: "If you go so deep, if you climb down the vines, even a mage will be too late, so you can only change the plan." ”
"If there's any way, just say it, Xiao Lu doesn't have much time, the sooner you act, the better!"
Nangong Piao looked at Zhang Longqian seriously: "Do you really want to go down?" ”
"That's right."
"It's definitely dangerous down there."
"Is it safe up there? Come on, this is the Demon Slaying Forest! ”
After a deep groan, Nangong Piao nodded and looked behind Zhang Longqian.
"Then you can take her down."
Before he could look back at who was behind him, Zhang Longqian felt that the collar behind his neck was tight, his feet were empty, and then the feeling of weightlessness was wrapped.
"Ahh
A subconscious scream was still at the entrance of the cave, and Zhang Longqian had already fallen into the deep cave.
Feeling the strong wind pressure around her, Zhang Longqian immediately understood that she was falling rapidly, and there was nowhere to grab it, only a hand behind her was dragging her collar, which was even more unreliable in this inevitable sense of weightlessness, and she couldn't help but get nervous in her heart, coupled with the strong wind pressure that made her eyes hurt, Zhang Longqian could only close her eyes and reach out to grab the hand back, gritting her teeth and trying to make a sound.
"Cang Yan, you idiot! Don't pull me by the collar! Change your posture to a reliable one! ”
You don't have to look at it to be sure that it's definitely him, because among these people, only Cang Yan will do such a thing as pulling her collar.
The hand that grabbed her collar flipped in response, and in a moment it sent her upwards, followed by a strong arm around her waist.
Feeling the warm breath surrounding him, Zhang Longqian had no mind or interest in thinking about the fact that he was being "held" by Cang Yan, but he was finally a little relieved, so he dared to open his eyes and look around.
The cave was still a white mist, and only the green phantom brought up by the fast-rising vines behind Cang Yan could be seen, like a curtain of turquoise waterfalls, and the Cang Yan in front of him was shining with a thin layer of fiery red, and a pair of flame-like huge wings behind him opened and closed slightly to adjust the speed of falling.
The white mist, the green shadow, and the red elf suddenly seem to be in a fairyland.
Zhang Longqian couldn't help but look dumbfounded, and was stunned before coming back to her senses, she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed by her momentary gaffe, so she looked away and looked at the vague bottom and said, "Jump down directly...... This is really a simple and crude way, and I can only ask you. As she spoke, she looked down at herself again, only to find that there was a thin light like a fiery red coat on her body, and after a pause, she reacted and said, "This layer of red light is for protection, right?" ”
Cang Yan paid attention to the bottom and hummed lowly.
The originally violent wind pressure was almost unfelt at the moment, it seemed to be blocked by the red light, except for the feeling of weightlessness, there was nothing uncomfortable, after thinking about it, Zhang Longqian raised his head and was about to say something to Cang Yan, but he couldn't help but be attracted by the pair of wings that seemed to be made of pieces of flames, and couldn't help but whisper: "...... By the way, you can still grow wings? ”
Cang Yan replied coldly: "Mana is mimicked." ”
"Really? I thought you grew up on your own, and the magic simulacrum alone was so beautiful, and if it was true, it would be even more breathtaking, right? ”
He said it without thinking, and his smiling face shone with his amber eyes.
Looking at that bright smile, something flashed in her dark eyes, and then it returned to the ice that had not changed for ten thousand years, and did not respond to her words.
