Chapter 784: The Imprisoned
We flew in the direction indicated by the red arrow, often adjusting slightly to point out a more precise direction along the way, and we flew away for more than twenty days in a row, following the guidance of the compass, to a huge basin that was unusually desolate.
A scorching heat immediately rushed to the face, the basin in front of me was only black and red, the edge of the basin was a round black stone, and the center of the basin was a red lava lake, constantly bubbles emerged from the surface of the lava, and the high temperature emitted even made the air above the basin begin to twist and shake, showing a hazy and gorgeous color.
The red arrow on the compass in Yehnaran's hand pointed straight at the lava lake, and no matter how we adjusted our orientation, the direction of the arrow would adjust with our movement, always pointing at the lava lake.
"Could it be that the little sister has been taken under this lava lake? How's that good? Yehenaran said with a worried look on his face.
It's no wonder that Yehenaran looked anxious, the heat in this lava lake is not something that ordinary monks can bear, just standing by the lake, the heat wave makes my skin feel a hot burning sensation, let alone entering this lava.
I touched my chin, looked at the lava below, and sneered: "These guys are really good at looking for it, they even dare to go down to this kind of place, if it weren't for your special way of finding people, I'm afraid we won't be able to find your sister in our lifetime." ”
Yehenaran smiled bitterly and said: "But even if we find it now, it won't help, we can't go down at all, but we can't wait for them to come out here, who knows if there are other exits at the bottom of this lava lake." ”
"Who says you can't go? A little lava can stop me! I said with a smile.
After I said this, I flipped my right hand, and a jade pendant with a burst of cold air appeared in my hand, as soon as this jade pendant appeared, the heat around me dropped rapidly, and even on the ground where we were standing, a thin layer of ice crystals formed.
This cold jade pendant was originally in the Fallen Immortal Palace, Lu Yang gave it to me in order to save my life, and now it can come in handy, I smiled, and under the exhalation of the demonic qi, a large stream of white gas suddenly emerged from the jade pendant, which instantly wrapped me and Yehenaran into it, and then kicked hard under his feet, and in Yehenaran's exclamation, a white ball of light fell directly towards the lava lake.
With a "bang", the white ball of light looked at the crimson lava as nothing, and disappeared directly into the lava lake, and the nearby lava splashed and flew out for a while, but the lake quickly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, we have dived under the lava for more than ten zhang, and under the white light mask, slowly sinking, although in the lava, all around is a fiery red world, but the cool cold air coming out of the cold jade pendant easily isolated the high temperature from the light mask, and did not feel a trace of temperature.
We dived for two hours in a row, and at last we reached the bottom of the lake, and when we stepped on the ground covered with black stones, we looked around, but we could not see any color except crimson.
Yehenalan hurriedly picked up the compass in his hand, and after the red arrow on the compass turned around, it immediately locked in a certain direction and did not move, Yehenalan and I looked at each other and smiled, and immediately flew slowly in this direction.
When flying out of a considerable distance, the compass in Yehenaran's hand suddenly shook, and the arrow on it suddenly pointed to the ground under our feet, I looked down and stared, and then with a flip of my wrist, the five-element sword appeared in my hand, and as soon as I raised my hand, a blood-red sword shot out, and went straight to the bottom of the lake under me and slashed away.
After a loud "boom", the bottom of the lake, which originally seemed to be ordinary, was suddenly cut out of a huge crack seven or eight feet long by the blood-red sword, but the strange thing was that the lava around it did not flow down the crack, as if it was held up by an invisible force.
I grabbed Yehenaran by the arm and jumped straight into the crack, and my feet touched the ground again, and I immediately looked around, only to find that we were in an underground tunnel, and the ground and the walls of the cave were all potholed and uneven, and at first glance it was not artificially opened, but seemed to be a natural passage.
Turning his head and glancing at the compass in Yehenalan's hand, the arrow on it turned down, pointing directly to the depths of the tunnel, seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart, it seemed that I had indeed found a place, and immediately moved slowly in the direction pointed by the arrow with Yehenaran.
After walking for two or three hours, the tunnel began to rise, and after walking for about an hour again, a bright light finally appeared in front of him, and Yehenaran was overjoyed and flew out without hesitation.
But a trace of vigilance flashed in my heart, and with a silent flip of my wrist, the Five Elements Sword appeared in my hand, and with a flick of my body, the person came to the exit first, and swept around silently.
It was dark everywhere, but it was clear to me that it was a natural underground grotto, quiet and empty all around, and there was a hole in the stone wall at the end of the cavern, as if connected to another cave.
At this time, Yehenaran hurriedly came to my side, and glanced at the cave with anticipation in his eyes, but unfortunately he did not find any trace of Ye Hexiang, and hurriedly looked down at the compass in his hand in a slightly disappointed manner, at this time, the arrow on the compass pointed to the stone cave at the end of the cave, and let out a slight tremble.
When Yehenalan saw this scene, his face suddenly showed a look of joy and said, "It's the little sister, the little sister must be in that stone cave!" ”
After she said this, she couldn't help but fly towards the stone cave, I hurriedly grabbed her, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I always feel that something is not quite right, according to your uncle's intelligence, there are fifteen demon powerhouses with Ye Hexiang, but so far, we have not found any traces at all, not even the bottom of the lava lake, and we are so close to them, we should have found us a long time ago...... This is so counterintuitive. ”
"No matter what, I'm going to save my sister." Yehenaran couldn't help frowning when he heard me say this, but after a little hesitation, he still said with a firm face.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but roll my eyes and said: "I didn't say that I wouldn't save your sister, I just told you to be careful, don't rush around without a head, if something happens at that time, and you want me to save you, then this deal is really a big loss!" ”
Yehenaran was slightly stunned, and then he didn't know what he thought, so he lowered his head and didn't speak, I didn't bother to pay attention to her, and flew towards the entrance of the cave opposite, and after a while, he was on the edge of another cave.
When I looked inside, there was another cave that was one size bigger than where we were, but I just glanced at it and couldn't help but freeze in place.
Because the cave inside was full of billowing black mist, covering almost every corner of the cave, but as soon as the fog reached the exit of the cave, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, and it could no longer move forward.
Yehenaran looked at the cave full of black mist in front of him with a blank face, obviously I couldn't see anything in the cave, but I had yin and yang eyes on my body, and the cave where I couldn't see my five fingers in the eyes of ordinary monks was as transparent as air to me, so I saw at a glance that in the center of the cave, there was a woman lying on the ground motionless.
And under this woman's body, there is also a strange magic circle that flashes with a faint spiritual light, and those black mist are constantly emerging from this magic circle, and on the woman's body, there are hundreds of silver needles, and one by one like thin lines of blood extend from the woman's body, slowly merging into the strange magic circle.
After seeing this scene, I turned my head to Yehenaran beside me and said, "There is indeed a woman in this grotto, but this person is lying face down on the ground, I can't see her face clearly, I don't know if it's your sister Ye Hexiang." ”
Ye Henaran heard me say that there was a woman inside, and immediately said with a happy face: "The compass also points to this, it must be Ye Hexiang is right, Zhao Daoyou, how is my sister, is she okay?" ”
"Whether it's true or not, just go in and see!" I smiled slightly, and the blood-red demonic qi in my body suddenly gushed out, directly enveloping the two of us in it, and then striding forward, the person directly submerged into the black qi.
