Chapter 383: The Source of the Dark River

Hearing Zhang Zhixuan's inquiry, Sijin tried to think for a moment, and said cautiously: "The demon beast is hidden deep in the depths of the cold pool, and it didn't show its head even when it was fighting with us. Besides, I couldn't see my fingers in the cold pool, and I didn't recognize what kind of demon beast it was, so I could only guess from the rough outline that it should be a fish demon beast. However, judging from the strength of the demon beasts, it should only be the late stage of the third order, far inferior to the Purple Mansion, otherwise we would not be able to retreat safely. ”

Zhang Zhixuan saw that he couldn't get much information from Sijin, so he could only ask the others, these Qi cultivation period cultivators were even more confused, they couldn't even release their divine sense, and they didn't see this mysterious demon beast clearly.

After discussing with Qingchan for a while, Zhang Zhixuan decided to go into the water to find out what kind of demon beast it was.

Qing Chan then took out a third-order water avoidance charm and applied it to the two of them, and the water avoidance charm seemed to envelop the two of them like a huge bubble. The two went deep into the cold pool, constantly looking for this mysterious demon beast.

The area of the cold pool is not large, although the water of the pool is relatively deep, but the two of them are not shallow, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they found this mysterious demon beast.

"What kind of monster is my Dao? It turned out to be a koi fish! ”

Zhang Zhixuan smiled softly, and instantly sacrificed the Hanging Sword Pill and slashed at this demon beast.

The koyun carp opened its mouth and spewed out a round ball, which trembled slightly, turning into a round ball with a diameter of more than one zhang, but it came first towards the two of them.

Seeing this ball, Zhang Zhixuan's face was shocked, revealing a hint of ecstasy and secretly thinking: "This carp is lucky, it has actually been refined into a dragon ball in the body, and it seems that it has the effect of enlarging the space." ”

Seeing that Qing Chan was about to release a magic weapon to attack this spirit bead, Zhang Zhixuan immediately grabbed her little hand and said, "Don't break this spirit bead, I'm afraid this carp only has this spirit bead that has some use for us." ”

Qing Chan then gave him a blank look, released a purple qi divine light spell, and dropped the dragon ball in the carp's body.

This carp is only in the late stage of the third order, even under the water that is most suitable for its fighting, it is far from being the opponent of Zhang Zhixuan's two purple mansions, and it was easily killed by the two, and even the materials on its body were scavenged by Sijin and others and stored in the family treasury.

The Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes was originally a cave that was washed away by a flood many years ago. In just three hundred years, three third-order demon beasts have appeared here, this frequency is obviously abnormal, and the biggest problem is the source of the underground dark river.

Zhang Zhixuan knew very early that the underground dark river in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave was very unusual, and there was a faint aura in the river water, although it was not as good as a spiritual well at home, but it was still very good. He has been cultivating for many years, except for seeing similar scenes in the river below Jiaohefang, and he has never seen similar landforms.

According to the situation of Jiaohe, Zhang Zhixuan secretly guessed that I am afraid that the Ten Thousand Snake Cave is connected to the family's spiritual well, and there is only a spiritual vein with a high spiritual energy underground.

At least a hundred miles away from the Jiaohe spiritual vein, the river has lost its aura, and the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave is seven hundred miles away from Lingjing Mountain, even if the water volume of the dark river is far inferior to the Jiaohe River, the loss of spiritual energy is a little slower, but I am afraid that the strength of the spiritual vein is far beyond Jiaohe.

Although he had already known about the anomaly here, Zhang Zhixuan still did not investigate the root cause of it. First, because his previous cultivation was low, he did not dare to explore deeply, so as not to encounter danger after the greater secret was exposed.

The second is also because of Qingchan, when she picked up the Qingling Taiyi pot from the spiritual well, Zhang Zhixuan knew that this well was only afraid of a big secret, and it was very likely that Liu Xuanyan's back hand was arranged.

In his heart, Zhang Zhixuan didn't like to have anything to do with Liu Xuanyan, and as his cultivation became higher and higher, the more he knew in his heart the mystery of the methods of high-level cultivators.

In the dead of night, he often secretly worries, fearing that his Qingzen will become another person and leave him after one day.

Therefore, although after opening up the Purple Mansion, even if Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation increased greatly, he deliberately forgot about the abnormality here and never explored it.

It's a pity that there is still chaos here in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave.

After killing the koi carp, Zhang Zhixuan was about to take Qing Chan's little hand and leave. But I heard Qing Chan whisper: "Demon beasts have appeared here many times and five times, and they must always explore the source." ”

Although her voice was soft, there was a hint of firmness, Zhang Zhixuan knew in his heart that although Qingchan had a tactful personality, he was very stubborn. Once you have identified something, it is difficult to go back.

Zhang Zhixuan turned his head, looked into her eyes and asked seriously, "Once you take this step, it will be difficult to turn back." ”

Zhang Zhixuan knew that although Qing Chan rarely spoke, he was a very smart person, otherwise he would not have been able to cultivate this step at all. He secretly thought in his heart: "I can detect the abnormality myself, but I'm afraid that Qingchan is quite clear in his heart, and the reason why he didn't take the initiative to mention it before was because he didn't know it for his own sake."

Qing Chan smiled bitterly: "Since we have embarked on the path of cultivation, there is no turning back. I thought about it carefully, if she wanted to take her memories with her, there should be many ways. Since she didn't turn around with her memories, she wouldn't have left a too vicious backhand. Since I have cultivated to this point, I will not be able to avoid this person in the future, this kind of thing will have to be faced after all, and the more I am afraid, the more it will affect my future path.

If you want to form a golden pill, you can't have flaws in your soul, and only by being harmonious can you go further, and her thing is a flaw in my soul. I was also afraid that when I woke up, I would become a different person. In that case, I will leave my Zhixuan brother forever!

So, all this has to be faced after all, and if I want to break the knot, I must figure out my own origins. ”

Qing Chan's words persuaded Zhang Zhixuan, and the two held their hands tightly, sacrificed the water avoidance talisman, and slowly walked to the source along the underground dark river.

The two of them have achieved great cultivation, and although the terrain of the dark river is rugged, it will not create many obstacles for the Purple Mansion monks.

The further you go inside, the smaller the amount of water in the dark river.

Along the road, Zhang Zhixuan also found some ordinary tributaries, these tributaries have no aura, but there will be some ordinary animals growing in them.

In this kind of aura-rich river, ordinary animals have the potential to evolve into various types of demon beasts, if they can't be controlled from the source, the hidden dangers of demon beasts on the spiritual veins of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave can never be removed.

Along this dark river, the two found four or five underground cold pools.

There are many dangers in these cold pools, and some even hide very powerful demon beasts.

However, Zhang Zhixuanqing and Zen were already very clever in their cultivation, and these third-order demon beasts were cut off by the two of them one by one.

These cold pools have accumulated a large amount of spiritual water for a long time, and after the evolution of nature, they have formed low-level spiritual veins.
