Chapter 197: Shen Shen is not a reference
"I can tell you the way out, but I can't lead you out......" Little Ginseng lowered his head and pouted, looking aggrieved.
"What do you say? There's no way to lead me out?! Then what did you promise to do so quickly! Xia Chongming was enraged all of a sudden, and the arrogance around him suddenly swept up again. It's underground! Is there any other way to get out than Tu Dun, is this ginseng teasing her?
The villain saw that Xia Chongming's body exuded that majestic golden light again, and he trembled with fright, almost didn't change back to his original form, and ran away from the ground. However, as soon as he thought about what Xia Chongming had just said, he resisted the urge to run away, and continued in a milky voice: "It's impossible to go back the way I came, and I also took advantage of the loophole when I went out...... I also said that this is a burial pit, everything here is a burial goods, if it is so easy to escape from here, wouldn't the creatures trapped here run away sooner...... If you want to go back the way you came, you can't do it...... If you don't say it's going to take a hundred years......"
He trembled all over, extremely afraid of the golden light emanating from Xia Chongming's body, the mysterious power in this golden light was exactly the same as the immobilization spell that had just fixed him.
A hundred years? Oh my God, is she a living immortal? How could you stay in such a place for a hundred years!
But Xia Chongming thought about it after listening to what he said, and felt that it made sense, along the way, her big snake, that tiger, and those weird plants and insects and so on...... It's not like they're incapable of running out of here, especially the huge creatures, who probably have a little strength to break through the door a long time ago. But they have been in this underground for thousands of years, and unless they are trapped here, there is no way to escape from here.
This makes sense why she couldn't go back the way she came from that gate, and let this little ginseng go back with her.
She was very interested in the reason why these creatures were trapped here, so after thinking for a while, she asked, "Little ginseng, you said you are trapped here, why is that?" This time, her tone of voice was much more relaxed, and the golden light on her body also retreated.
As soon as Xia Chongming's golden light was withdrawn, the little ginseng instantly felt a lot more comfortable, he shook his head and replied: "Brother, I don't call it 'little ginseng', I am also a spiritual creature who has lived for three thousand years, and I also have the name of the Eight Classics!" Brother's name is Shen Shen, these two words! After saying that, he casually touched the ground, and a branch floated up out of thin air, and drew two "Shen" characters on the ground.
Xia Chongming looked at it like this, it turned out to be this "Shen", if he didn't write it, she would call him a counselor. Although it's not the same word, it's also the same sound, what's the difference between calling it out and little ginseng?
Shen Shen's face looked serious, and the meat was like a small bun. Xia Chongming couldn't help but go up and pinch the flesh on Shen Shen's face, and said, "Okay, I understand." Shenshen, tell me why you're stuck here. Although her face still looked a little cold and even a little angry, Xia Chongming's heart had actually been moved.
Shen Shen's cute little kid is really cute in appearance, if he didn't think about running away, Xia Chongming wouldn't be rude to him.
However, in Shen Shen's eyes, Xia Chongming's face-pinching action was very ill-intentioned. He hurriedly slapped Xia Chongming's hand aside, stood up, raised his finger and pointed at the sun-like light source on the top of the cave and said, "The reason is it, it's what trapped us here." ”
Xia Chongming looked at the light source on the top of the cave, his face full of doubts, and asked, "Isn't this light source the foundation for the survival of creatures in the underground world?" Why did it become something that trapped you? ”
"Sister, you don't know this. Although that thing is like the sun outside, it can ensure that we can survive here, but it has a kind of compulsion, and it is spelled inside, and it is fine for a short time, but people like me who have been here for a long time, or who have been here since birth, are extremely dependent on that thing. I hear that there is a word called 'drug addiction', which is what it feels like to be away for a long time. Shen Shen gestured with his hand and explained.
As soon as he explained this, Xia Chongming roughly understood, there was such an evil spell in this world, which forced these creatures to stay in this underground world for thousands of years, what kind of person could do such a thing? Who is the owner of this tomb?
"Who set that spell?" The spell Shen Shen said was actually no different from the seal, but it felt relatively free than the seal. Since the last time he unlocked Feng Qingyan's seal, Xia Chongming knew that if he wanted to unlock it, he still needed someone to cast a spell, just like her, the seal set by her in her previous life was unlocked by her so mistakenly.
Fortunately, Feng Qingyan didn't find out that she had fallen into this underground world, in this state of isolation and helplessness, if Feng Qingyan knew, she would definitely come and kill her at this time.
But it doesn't matter, as long as she asks for the way out, she will be safe soon. After she goes out, she will contact the relevant departments and give feedback on the situation here, and then there will naturally be professionals to solve it, and there is no need for her to come to this troubled water.
This question, as well as the question Xia Chongming had asked earlier about who the owner of the tomb was, also stumped Shen Shen, and he touched the back of his head and said, "This ...... I really don't know, but I've heard the old beast say that this is a mausoleum built by an emperor to his empress a thousand years ago, maybe this spell was set by him......"
Emperor? Xia Chongming was a little shocked after hearing this, it turned out that this was a back tomb, such a big hand, but such a burial pit was so magnificent and magnificent? It seems that the emperor must have loved his empress very much, and every grass and tree here speaks for itself.
This unknown history is really fascinating, and it is estimated that it will attract attention after being discovered by scientific researchers, right? After all, there is no history recorded, and it should be a major discovery of historical research in country A.
Xia Chongming was only surprised for a moment and then urged: "Okay, okay, I understand, and my question has been asked." Tell me how to get out, quick, now! ”
Concern is concern, but that's all after she went out.
Shen Shen nodded, beckoned to Xia Chongming and said, "Sister, you come with me first." After hearing this, Xia Chongming nodded and followed.
He led Xia Chongming to walk around the shore, the terrain here is not the same flat land, one end is obviously higher, and standing on it is just right to have an unobstructed view of this waterhole. Shen Shen brought Xia Chongming to this higher position, and then stopped.
Xia Chongming stopped and said puzzledly: "Why don't you stop?" ”
They've only walked around the water's edge for half a circle, and they're sure not yet to reach their destination where she can get out of here! Why did it stop all of a sudden?
"This is the place, this is the place to get out." Shin Shin turned around and pointed to the waterhole in front of him.
Looking at it from above, this pool is exceptionally blue, just like the pool that Xia Chongming saw outside. It's just that Fang has been on the shore all the time, and that angle is not very easy to observe, and now that he came to a high place, Xia Chongming naturally found the difference.
The water obviously looks much deeper, and the bottom of the water is pitch black, and the pebbles at the bottom of the pool are not at all visible at a glance like the water outside. The bottom of this black hole seems to have an inexplicable suction, I don't know where it leads, but if you look closely, you can see some faint whirlpools on the surface of the water, all of which are surging up from the bottom of the water.
Xia Chongming frowned and observed, this whirlpool was really small, so she didn't notice it at all when she first came over. She thought this was the source, but it was obviously not the case. This water comes from the ground, it must be the water in the underground dark river, and the water in the dark river does not appear for no reason, but also flows in from the outside world, it seems that this water has another source.
This discovery made her very happy, she suddenly squatted down, hugged Shen Shen with both hands, and said very excitedly: "Shen Shen, do you mean that this water leads to the outside?" ”
"Of course......" Xia Chongming's sudden hug made Shen Shen a little flattered, and he thought that Xia Chongming was angry again and wanted to throw him into the water.
"Great! I can finally go back! Xia Chongming let go of Shen Shen and jumped up all of a sudden. She wanted to swim out of the water now, and now she could finally escape from this damn place!
Shen Shen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said to Xia Chongming with a smile and flattery: "Yes, great! But I can't go out with you, I'm afraid of water, and I don't know how to swim. ”
"You can't swim? Didn't you take me into the water before? Are you lying to me? Xia Chongming pointed to the tip of Shen Shen's nose and asked.
"No, no, sister, how could I lie to you!" Shen Shen hurriedly waved his hand and said, he explained: "It was only a small section before, if a thousand-year-old ginseng like me is soaked in water for a long time, the medicinal fragrance on the body will be lost, and the cultivation will be greatly damaged, and it will become a waste ginseng at that time!" ”
He begged for mercy, trying his best to make Xia Chongming understand his difficulties.
Xia Chongming looked at what he said and didn't sound like a lie, so he nodded and said tolerantly: "Okay, I know." How long does it take to swim out of here? Is there a place where I can ventilate in the middle of the way? ”
Her water nature is good, but she can't swim in the water all the time like a fish, and she has to change her breath halfway. Now with the growth of her internal strength, of course, her lung capacity has increased a lot, but looking at the deep underwater, Xia Chongming is still a little stunned.
What if she can't swim? Will it be the same feeling of drowning as the last time I experienced it in the sea?
"Sister, don't worry! The water of this underground dark river will be very full, and it is definitely a place to breathe! You just swim and keep swimming! Definitely going out! Shen Shen said very refreshingly, he patted his chest and guaranteed the ticket.
Xia Chongming swallowed his saliva, if this is the case, then it is easy to say, although she still has some resistance in her heart, but in order to survive, she will fight! Didn't you say you could swim all the way around? Instead of waiting here, why not try this only method.
She nodded, tidied up the clothes on her body, and said to Shen Shen before leaving: "Shen Shen, when I go out, I will find a way to help you unlock the spell in this underground and give you freedom." I don't blame you for bringing me here, after all, I wanted to get you in the first place. Let's meet again! Goodbye! ”
After saying that, Xia Chongming jumped and fell into the water.
Shen Shen looked at the splash and Xia Chongming's figure that quickly swam to the bottom of the water, and muttered, "Goodbye?" Forget it, it would be strange if I could let you see you again......" With that, he turned and walked into the jungle.
