Jie Ji ...... ......"

A creepy and strange sound came from afar.

"Blue Devil!"

Xu Ning said softly, letting go of the hand covering Yan Bing's mouth.

Yan Bing's eyes widened, she took a long breath, there was still fear in her eyes, that night in the dense forest, if she hadn't met Xu Ning and Chen Jin's brothers, she would have died a long time ago.

The strange sound gradually became inaudible again, and the blue devil was clearly passing by the neighborhood, and did not walk towards here.

The two of them felt a little at ease. Xu Ning looked at her eyes, as if hinting at something, and asked, "The best way you said to find the 'Soul Searching Furnace' is to secretly follow these freaks and sneak in?" ”

Yan Bing shook his head, stuffed his scattered hair into his headband, and said, "According to the indication on the map, there should be a big road in the backyard leading to the mining area, and I wonder if the furnace must be there. Now that the Blue Devil is nearby, the Sorcerer is in the mine. ”

"You and I have recovered my energy now, so it's better to go quietly now, and try not to alarm them." Xu Ningti said.

The two men walked out of the room and left the palace with great caution.

Walk through the backyard, find a place to hide, and wait quietly for a while before continuing on.

There is not a single inch of grass here, but fortunately, there are collapsed houses and rocks on both sides, which can be used as a cover object, and you can stop and stop all the way, slowly approaching the mining area.

After walking for a while, I saw a long rope bridge spanning both sides of the mountain stream, and there was the sound of water rushing under the rope bridge, and the orange-red fire was shining brightly everywhere.

"What is this place, how can there be such a strong fire?" Xu Ning asked in a low voice.

Yan Bing thought for a while, then took out the sheepskin drawing from his arms, looked at it by the light of the fire, pointed to the pattern and said, "Look, that is the palace we entered just now, and this is the rope bridge in front." ”

As soon as Xu Ning heard her, he instantly understood: "Then the symbol of this mountain must be the mining area." ”

Yan Bing nodded, took back the drawings, lifted the horn bow, and peeked his head out of the rock, and the two observed again.

In the distance, it was hazy and I couldn't see anything really, and the top of the rope bridge was paved with wooden planks, but now it was basically rotten, and only two large iron cables hung together. Except for the roar below, there was no trace of living creatures in the firelight, and it was silent.

Before the two of them reached the rope bridge, they suddenly felt that their bodies were hot, and the temperature in the air slowly rose.

I saw that the bottom was unfathomable, covered with magma and fire, like a fire dragon winding through the river. Since it was still a kilometer away, I didn't feel so hot and uncomfortable.

The two of them stepped on the iron chain and reached the opposite bank.

There are more rocks on this side, and the road becomes more rugged and difficult, and when you climb a slope, you can reach the rock wall overhead. Xu Ning then realized that he was in an underground world, and for a long time, he almost thought that his head was still the sky.

The fog in the distance was no longer so thick, and a blue-green halo could be faintly seen in the haze.

"The cave in front is the entrance to the mine, brother, be careful." Yan Bing whispered behind him.

The two of them bent their waists and cautiously approached the cave in the mining area, and when they got closer, they could see the fire flickering in the cave, which must also be the light emitted by the magma flame.

As soon as you step into the cave, you will see a different scene in front of you.

In this huge cavern, the steaming is steaming, and most of the destroyed plank roads are crisscrossed and crisscrossed, and hundreds of meters under your feet are full of hot magma, which seems to be stationary, but from time to time bubbles burst out, some of which can splash very high, almost spraying onto it.

The light in the cave is also flickering and mysterious. The blue glow that I had seen was gone, only the orange-red flame glow.

The two of them walked along the broken and dilapidated plank road, this way was extremely hard, only walked a few steps, their heads and bodies were soaked, but fortunately, they were very good, and finally walked out of this cave where magma flowed together, and arrived in the tunnel.

I don't know where the wind blew from, and it drove away the heat from the body at once, but after walking for a while, the cold air became cold, penetrating the bone marrow.

Yan Bing couldn't help but shiver and muttered: "Brother Xu Ning, the magma heat wave underground is so strong, how can there be such a cold wind, is it ice and snow or summer in hell?" ”

Xu Ning smiled: "I haven't been to hell again, how do I know." ”

Yan Bing trembled and said, "We're in hell now, don't you think?" ”

Xu Ning held her weak shoulder with his hand and asked softly, "Bing'er, are you afraid?" ”

Yan Bing shook his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "With you by my side, I am not afraid of anything, but there is a gust of wind here, and I only feel a little cold." ”

The two of them were so tender and sweet, and suddenly felt that the coldness on their bodies had gone a lot, and when they passed through this tunnel, they saw the blue light in front of them, and they couldn't see anything around, and they were almost in the vast world again.

A high cone-shaped stone platform stands in front of you, on the stone platform stands a round stone pillar as high as a hundred zhang, the middle should be hollowed out, and there are constantly flames emerging from the top of the stone pillar, blazing, like a magical orange moon.

Xu Ning looked at Yan Bing, only to see that she also shook her head.

So I walked over slowly, here is an emptiness, people can't hide and hide, the closer to the high platform, the more I feel the cold penetrating into the bone marrow, there is no ghost fire floating in the ghostly light, it is weird.

When I got closer, I saw a lot of wolves on the ground, and there were a lot of bones lined up horizontally.

If you look closely, you can clearly see that there is still skin and flesh sticking to it, as if it has just grown from a bone, and a thin layer of flesh and blood is some bright red and some are white.

"Are these dead or alive?" Xu Ning couldn't make up his mind, so he couldn't help asking.

Yan Bing's face was also quite ugly, after all, these things were too terrifying, so he calmed down and said, "They are all dead people who have not come back to life." ”

Xu Ning's heart tightened when he heard this, and he gasped: "These dead corpses can still be resurrected?" ”

Yan Bing said solemnly: "Sure enough, as I expected, the Soul Searching Furnace is nearby. Do you know that the demonic power of this soul searching furnace is extremely powerful, not only can the soul be condensed into its original body, but it can also make the bones grow back into flesh and hair. ”

"After it grows out, can you walk freely, or will you be able to eat and talk as you were?"

"They have no soul, they have become walking corpses, they have no mind, they are driven only by demonic power." Yan Bing continued, "I've heard all of this, but what I saw with my own eyes today, I have to believe it. ”

"Within the demonic energy coverage of the soul searching furnace, even the corpse will not decay, and the bones will regrow skin and flesh like grass and trees, which is really evil and evil."

Yan Bing took out a talisman seal from his bosom and recited the incantation, and the talisman flew out, hovering around the high platform, and disappeared out of thin air.

The flesh of the bones on the ground slowly shriveled, became charred again, and was finally purified.

The two of them went up the stone steps to the high platform, but found nothing, only the ghost fire flickering in the blue mist, and they were about to go down to find the exit again, when some dark shadows flashed in the distance, approaching the high platform, it was the kind of dead man's shadow that he had seen in the woods that night.

The black shadow stopped again in the distance, surrounding the high platform, but did not dare to step forward.

Xu Ning was not afraid of these things, and when he saw that they were only standing still from a distance, he couldn't help but feel strange, and only heard Yan Bing say: "The soul talisman just now has worked, and this kind of thing is most afraid of purifying a kind of talisman seal." ”

She frowned again and worried: "It's just that what is good now, there are no less than hundreds of this black piece, our whereabouts have already been exposed, and I don't know what monsters we will encounter later." ”

In the shadows below, a huge blue devil walked out, and a faint fire came out of his hand.

Xu Ning's face froze, and he shouted: "Bing'er, you have to be careful, I'll go down and destroy them first and then make plans." ”

As soon as his voice fell, the whole person flew up from the high platform like black lightning, and the Eighteen Demon Slayer Locks were hitting the fireball that shot over, and there was a violent impact sound with a "boom", and sparks shot out in all directions.

As soon as the chain was touched by the fireball, the flames burst into flames, like a fiery dragon sweeping in all directions.

Once the black chain technique was cast, the gang qi stretched endlessly, and the fire on the chain became more fierce, roaring and roaring, like an angry golden dragon raging in the blue sea of fog, devouring and burning.

Xu Ning was like entering a no-man's land, and the Eighteen Demon Slayer Locks devoured and dispersed the ghost shadow holding the ice blade.

"Assert ......"

The Blue Devil let out a terrible deathly roar, and the blade of flame was also pale under the cover of the Demon Slayer Lock.

What Yan Bing saw with his own eyes tonight was also shocked by Xu Ning's cultivation, and the blue devil who made the ancient people talk about it become fragile and vulnerable under his chains. With just one chain, it made its soul fly and dissipate into several blue lights, and disappeared.

In an instant, calm was restored around the huge high platform.

Yan Bing went down to the platform and saw that there were only some burnt strips of cloth on the ground, and the other ghosts had quietly escaped, and he couldn't help but admire.

Xu Ning looked calm, and just said: "Now that your and my goals have been exposed, I don't know when that demon magician will appear, if he keeps looking for it, if he hides and seeks with us, the underground ancient city is so big, I am afraid it will not be so easy to find his hiding place." ”

"We can't find him if he wants to hide, but ......" Yan Bing said this, and groaned again.

It took a long time before she suddenly asked Xu Ning: "Do you know why the Soul Searching Furnace is hidden in the underground ancient city?" ”

"Because it's hidden, you can't get down without a map."

Yan Bing shook his head and said, "No matter how hidden this place is, if the world really wants to find it, it will be found, and the most hidden place should be the most eye-catching place." ”

Xu Ning nodded: "You are right, although the underground ancient city is built underground, there are traces to follow after all, and it is really better to hide in an inconspicuous small cave." ”

Yan Bing smiled and said: "This matter is a long story, after the war between humans and demons, the demon king was imprisoned, and the demon clan retreated to the far north of the north, and this 'soul searching furnace' was in the hands of your ancestor, but they were helpless and couldn't find any way to destroy the furnace." So he gave the stove to the ancient tribe in the forest. ”

"Is there a way for the ancient people to destroy the furnace?" Xu Ning interjected.

Yan Bing continued: "You just saw the magma in front of you, the mining area of the underground ancient city is built on magma, only the magma here can destroy the furnace, so ......"

"Then why didn't the Gu people destroy it at that time?" Xu Ning was puzzled and couldn't help but interject and ask.

"Alas, this is also the fundamental reason why the underground ancient city was destroyed, and the ancient people inside were brutally killed." Yan Bing sighed, sad, "After the leader of the ancient clan at that time took the 'Soul Searching Furnace', he didn't know why he became greedy, and he wanted to be reborn after a hundred years of death, so he didn't throw the furnace into the magma and destroy it. Later, this matter spread out somehow, bringing ruin to the underground ancient city. ”

"Who are those people? Demon clan or other ancient clans, or martial cultivators in the Central Plains? ”

Yan Bing shook his head again: "This upheaval is very old, and there are all kinds of possibilities, but fortunately, the stove is very well hidden, and the people who came in were also killed inside, so it has become a secret since then." ”
