Chapter 20: The Mysterious Underground Palace

Wuji Mountain, Xiao Xuan vigilantly looked at the messy tall grass and dense forests around him, and did not dare to make too much movement while moving forward, Hou Yuhai, who had always been nervous, seemed to be extremely uncomfortable by this suppressed breath.

It has been a few hours since the siege of Wuji Mountain began, and the two of them have been wandering around the periphery, if it weren't for Xiao Xuan's decisive refusal, he would have been eager to go deep into the deepest part of the world with the character of Hou Yuhai.

Before entering Wuji Mountain, Elder Yunhai, who was presiding over the hunt, had said that whichever team was the first to get a fourth-level spirit beast would end the hunt early, and a mysterious reward would be given to the best Xiao family disciple.

But Xiao Xuan wouldn't be hot-headed, Wuji Mountain was too dangerous, he would rather spend ten days in peace than think about the ethereal fourth-level spirit beast Neidan.

"Brother, why didn't you see the spirit beast?" Hou Yuhai was a little thoughtful.

But at this moment, a roar came, and the sound was not far from the two of them, at most a mile ahead.

Xiao Xuan pursed his lips: "If you want to see a spirit beast, there is one in front." ”

On the low slopes of the mountain, Xiao and Hou hid behind the rocks, looking at a giant wolf two hundred meters long and as black as ink two hundred meters in front of them, the black giant wolf had dark green eyes, and the fur on his whole body stood up like sharp needles, and under the wolf's claws pressed a giant tiger with a stripe that was nearly twice its size.

"It's a ghost wolf. ”

Xiao Xuan has not been able to practice martial arts since he was a child, but he is very curious about the Nine Shadows Continent, so "Strange Stories" was read by him early, which has many introductions to spirit beasts, and the ghost wolf belongs to a relatively low-level first-level spirit beast, which is equivalent to the strength of the first level of true martial arts, but its actions are as sharp as the wind and the teeth are sharp, and it is more difficult to deal with than the first-level martial artists of the real martial arts.

At present, the ghost wolf is chewing on the flesh and blood of the spotted tiger, and it can bite off more than a dozen catties of meat in one bite, and from time to time it up its ears and looks around vigilantly, which is no different from an ordinary wolf, and it is alert and cautious by nature.

Looking at the disproportionate figure of the ghost wolf and the spotted tiger, Hou Yuhai had a surprised expression on his face: "This is the spirit beast, a wolf killed the tiger, no one will believe it." ”

Xiao Xuan's expression was calm, the ghost beast wolf was a spirit beast, and the spotted tiger was just an ordinary beast, what was the use of being big.

"Brother Hou, let's leave, this group of spirit beasts is a group of spirit beasts, maybe there are ghost wolves nearby, these spirit beasts are extremely embarrassed, if they are quietly surrounded, they will not be able to leave all the corpses when they die. ”

"Run. At this moment, a panicked shout came from the left, and Xiao Xuan's ears moved: "Someone." ”

I saw two figures jumping out in embarrassment, it was two children of the Xiao family, and behind them were three ghost wolves with huge bodies, chasing after them with blood-devouring faces.

"These two guys, it's really bad luck. ”

Xiao Xuan shook his head, both of them were children of the Xiao family, and they had been a handful of wall grass in the Tianwu Hall before, seeing that they were chased by a few ghost wolves, he didn't even have the idea of helping.

But soon Xiao Xuan was stunned, and the two bastards actually led the three ghost wolves to run towards the hillside where they were hiding.

". Xiao Xuan scolded in a low voice, didn't care about hiding his body anymore, and ran out in one direction.

However, a few ghost wolves saw Xiao Xuan and the two, and while calling friends for companionship, they desperately chased after them, and in a blink of an eye, more than thirty ghost wolves were followed by them, their green eyes were blood-red, and they seemed to not give up if they didn't tear the two apart.

The quiet Wuji Mountain became lively in a blink of an eye, and the two of them were like a scoop of cold water in the hot oil, attracting more spirit beasts wherever they passed, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred spirit beasts followed behind.

In the blink of an eye, a pillar of incense time passed, and he didn't know where he had fled, only to feel that the surrounding environment had become extremely unfamiliar, and the weeds and trees had obviously developed towards taller and stronger.

"Hey, the spirit beasts have retreated. When the two ran into a forest, Xiao Xuan found that those spirit beasts stopped suddenly, roared a few strange times and stopped chasing.

"Ha, are these animals tired of running?" Seeing that the spirit beasts suddenly dispersed, Hou Yuhai became presumptuous again.

"Since you know it's an animal, you don't get tired, will they be tired?" Xiao Xuan rolled his eyes.

Just then, there was a noise in the woods.

"What's that?"

Suddenly, a large tree half a meter thick in front of the two of them broke off, and a monster that looked like a scorpion of about two meters crawled quickly, the giant scorpion held a pair of powerful pincers in front of it, and the hook-like scorpion tail behind it pierced the sky, shining with blue light, which was obviously extremely terrifying and poisonous.

In particular, the giant scorpion's body is covered with a dark blue hard carapace, which looks like a treasure armor, wrapped in the body is full of domineering, and the trunk just now was obviously pinched off by it.

What chilled the two of them the most was that on one of the pincers of the giant scorpion, there was actually half a flesh and blood blurred body, Xiao Xuan recognized it as a child of the Xiao family at a glance, and his heart couldn't help but sink, and there was a burst of coldness.

roar

As soon as the giant scorpion appeared, the terrifying tail thorn shook, and stabbed at Hou Yuhai with a dark blue afterimage, under the momentum of the giant scorpion, Hou Yuhai was really not planted, and he was so scared that he couldn't move.

"Brother Hou, get out of the way. Xiao Xuan's eyes widened, and a black demon Buddha suddenly appeared behind him, sacrificing all the strength he could, and slapped towards the scorpion tail with one palm.

Rumble.

Xiao Xuan shot out with a blow, the huge anti-shock force made his body tremble, his feet clicked into the ground, the power of the two elephants plus the strong body, and the domineering palm such as the Vajra palm combined with the attack, but only made the direction of the scorpion tail fall a little.

The earthquake trembled, and the power of countless grass clippings splashed actually made a roaring sound, which showed how terrifying the power of the giant scorpion tail thorn was.

Bang

At this moment, the ground that was stabbed suddenly collapsed, Xiao and Hou only felt that their bodies sank, and then fell downward, and there was a shaking and unwilling roar of the giant scorpion behind them.

Call.

The crypt is very deep, Xiao Xuan fell rapidly, and his heart couldn't help but sink, if he continued to fall at this speed, he would definitely fall to pieces.

Suddenly, his feet were soft, Xiao Xuan's eyes widened in surprise, and bursts of purple qi rose out of thin air below, supporting the two of them to slowly fall until their feet stepped on the ground.

"Brother Hou, how are you?" As soon as he landed, Xiao Xuan looked at Hou Yuhai, who was close at hand.

"Fortunately, I didn't fall into a pulp, and if I don't die, there will be a blessing. "This guy actually turned pale, and he was obviously scared.

Xiao Xuan's expression was solemn, and he began to look at the surrounding environment, this was actually an underground palace, and the walls around it were all Tianxing Rock, which was far harder than fine iron.

It's a pity that after too many years of corrosion, no matter how hard things are, there will eventually be a time when they will decay, and the previous dungeon dome was pierced by the power of a giant scorpion, which was accidentally discovered by the two.

boom

Before he could completely see the whole body of the dungeon, a very oppressive sound came from the depths, and then the entire dungeon void was turbulent, Xiao Xuan only felt that his heart seemed to be firmly grasped by a big hand, and he was almost about to burst.

"What is it?" Hou Yuhai looked at Xiao Xuan in horror with a pained look.

"I don't know, it seems to be the beating sound of the heart, is there someone here?" Xiao Xuan's expression was ugly, if there really was someone here, it would definitely be that kind of extremely terrifying peerless powerhouse, and it was likely that the death of many strange beasts was related to the owner of this heart.

boom

The strange sound that almost burst their hearts came again, and the bodies of the two shook for a while, and the agitated qi and blood that had just calmed down boiled again.

"Brother, this is not a place for people, why don't we leave?" Hou Yuhai had plans to smear oil on the soles of his feet.

Xiao Xuan looked overhead, only to see the purple gas above, and he couldn't see the location of the cave entrance at all, thinking that at least two or two hundred meters high, unless he reached the realm of physical flight, everything was empty talk.

"It's impossible to go back the way you are, this dungeon itself is made of hard material, and we can't penetrate it with our strength, so we can only honestly find an exit. ”

"Go in?" Hou Yuhai was obviously a little resistant.

Xiao Xuan was helpless, so he could only tempt: "Brother Hou, maybe there are any treasures in this underground palace, looking at the age of this place, it may be a place for a strong person to cultivate." ”

Sure enough, Hou Yuhai showed a heart-warming look, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go inside and have a look." ”

Reaching an agreement, the two walked cautiously towards the end of the hall, and soon they passed through the hall, and two forks appeared in front of them, and the left fork of the road gushed out with a peaceful breath that made people feel comfortable physically and mentally, and the two of them couldn't help but close their eyes slightly and revel in it.

The one on the right was extremely dark, as if the light had been completely swallowed up, and there was a strange aura from the depths of the passage, and a chill invaded the body as soon as it got closer, making people have the urge to retreat and escape.

"What the hell is this? The sea monster screamed and walked directly to the fork on the left.

Xiao Xuan frowned lightly, feeling that things were not so simple, if he judged from the aura of the two forks alone, Hou Yuhai's approach was not wrong, but this flaw was too obvious and made him uneasy.

"Brother Hou, wait. Xiao Xuan frowned and said, "Don't you think these two paths are very strange? It is completely the extreme of life and death, if you follow normal thinking, I believe that anyone will choose a path that represents vitality, but ......"

Hou Yuhai's eyes rolled, and he immediately laughed and said: "It seems that you kid is not stupid, I just tried your cleverness just now, not bad." This thing patted Xiao Xuan's shoulder shamelessly, and walked into the black passage on the right side tremblingly.

In the black fork road, the two of them walked only 200 meters, and two forks, one black and one white, appeared in front of them again.

"Let's go, it's still the black one. Xiao Xuan waved his hand and walked over firmly.

Unconsciously, the two of them have been turning around in countless forks in the road for several hours, but they are all right, and the sound that makes people's hearts almost burst has never stopped, but the sound has gradually become clearer.

And every time that strange voice sounded, Xiao Xuan and the two would be churning with blood and almost want to vomit blood.

"It seems that we are close to the deepest part of the dungeon, and I hope there is a way out there. Xiao Xuan's expression was solemn, and he did not relax his vigilance at all.

Knock, knock

Just as he was thinking, a strange and terrifying voice appeared again, this time it sounded twice in a row, which contained a terrifying magic sound that the physical body could not bear at all, easily penetrating Xiao Xuan's body and shaking the five internal organs.
