Page 40: Underground Caves

"Hold your breath! I'll pull you up as soon as I can. As he spoke, Wen Renchu jumped up again, and his mutated bouncing ability allowed him to reach the edge in front of the elevator door at once. The more calm he had to be at such a time, he kept telling himself this in his heart, while propping up the door with one hand and starting to pry the elevator door with the other. Fortunately, his strength is much greater now, and the Soul Oblivion Ruler is hard enough, so that he succeeded in priing open the elevator door in one fell swoop, and it didn't take too much time because of this.

Not daring to delay for a minute or second, the Soul Oblivion Ruler immediately changed its form, and there was no need to worry about the length and toughness of the belt. Wen Renchu hurriedly put down the belt and took the lead in pulling Bai Liqing up, followed by Deng Jie, and finally Pi Wuwei. Heaven doesn't care, it flew up early.

"How are you feeling?" Standing outside the elevator door, Wen Renchu couldn't help but ask with concern. He was mainly worried that they had inhaled that white gas, and he didn't know what kind of effect it would have on the human body.

"I'm fine, but the air under this underground is relatively thin and a little uncomfortable." Bai Liqing sat on the ground, her face slightly flushed.

"Why do I suddenly feel so sleepy? My head is dizzy, too. Pi Wuwei propped up the stone wall, blinked his eyes, and shook his head again, feeling like he hadn't slept for days.

Deng Jie, who was leaning against the wall next to him, heard this, and immediately said in a loud voice: "Eh...... Me too, me too! ”

"Master, why don't you slap me a few times? I felt like I was about to fall asleep while standing. ”

Pi Wuwei immediately nodded and said, "Yes, this method is good!" You can fan me too, and it should be fine to survive this moment. ”

Then, the two of them slapped each other like this...... Not only the light fan, but they also said something that made Wen Renchu cry and laugh while fanning......

"How did you teach you before you became a teacher? The horse must be steady, and the shot must be fast and accurate! There are clouds in the book of war, 'not moving like a mountain, moving like thunder'. Now is the time to exercise your will, cheer me up! ”

"Got it, Master! I'm coming! ”

"Smack"

"This time it's not bad! It's my turn. ”

"Smack"

"Master, you're ruthless!"

……

After a while, Wen Renchu really couldn't stand it anymore, so he got up and asked, "Can you two do it?" If you can't do it, go back first, don't be reckless. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm already more energetic." Pi Wuwei turned around, and the left half of his face and the corners of his mouth were already slightly red and swollen. Looking at Deng Jie again, his appearance at this time is even more exaggerated, half of his face is swollen like a bun.

"I'm sorry for you." Seeing their appearance, Wen Renchu couldn't help but step forward and pat them on the shoulder, before continuing, "Then without further ado, let's continue to walk inside." After the two of you break off, protect Baili Qing by the way. ”

The road in front of me has seen it just now, it is a winding tunnel, and I don't know how long it is, let alone where it leads. The tunnels are roughly excavated, uneven on all sides, and only the road surface is slightly flat.

As they descended the dark passage, the narrow space gradually opened up, and after a few minutes, they were presented with a huge underground cavern. There is no need for flashlights, because there are faint fires in all corners of the cave. But the strange thing is that the firelight is green, and even if you get close, you can't feel the slightest temperature, giving people the feeling of coming to the underworld.

The reason for this illusion is that people recognize this strange green fire for the first time. In fact, it is also a kind of energy between heaven and earth, most of which are naturally condensed, and are generally only found in the underworld and Huangquan, and are called "Netherworld Ghost Fire". This fire is different from the fire in human cognition, it does not cause any damage to the body, but if you accidentally get contaminated with it, it is better to dust it off as soon as possible. Because it only takes a few seconds for it to pass through the body and start burning the soul in the body, and once the soul is burned, it can either "restore the factory settings" or die on the spot.

The whole cave is about 10 meters high, and the stalagmites at the top are extraordinarily magnificent, and some parts are dripping with water from time to time. The drops of water fall and plunge into the arms of the underground river below, making a crisp tinkling sound and creating a circle of ripples. This underground river is about three meters wide, the water is not deep and bottomless, glowing with pale green waves, and flows quietly into a fork in the distance for tens of meters, like a tributary of the River Styx leading to another world.

It is as open as a people's square, and there are many forks of different sizes around it, giving people the feeling that it is both accessible and intricate. The road was rugged and the road ahead was dangerous and unknown, and several people couldn't help but slow down.

When passing by the first fork in the hole, several people couldn't help but poke their heads out and look inside, but unfortunately there was nothing in this narrow hole, only endless depth.

However, they soon found a second fork, which was more of a stone chamber than a fork, and although the walls and floor were still far from being as smooth as the bricks and cement paved, they were still quite face-to-face. The stone room was not large, only a dozen square meters, and there were two desks and a few ordinary cabinets, but it was obviously empty, and there was no valuable information left for them.

The third fork next to it is similar to the previous one, except that the desk has been replaced by two bunk iron beds. Other than that, I didn't find anything particularly noteworthy.

Next, the group stopped and stopped all the way, and finally made a major discovery in a large fork in the other side.

The space of this fork hole is several times larger than the two stone chambers encountered before, and there is a round platform tens of centimeters high in the center, and four round stone pillars with one person standing around the round platform. Between the round platform and the stone pillar, a circle of ghostly fires has not been extinguished for a long time. Not only that, but the round platform and stone pillars were also painted with dense black runes, which looked like a cumbersome formation.

"Soul Refining Array! , I didn't expect them to have this forbidden formation that had been lost for thousands of years! "As an ancient race living in Yellow Springs, as long as it is related to the soul, no one should know better than the Heavenly Hearing Beast.

"Soul Refining Array?" Regarding the Taoist Qimen formation, Wen Renchu can only be regarded as a layman, and the other people are also at a loss.

"That's right, I remember that this formation seems to need to be combined with a unique soul refining method, and then use the Nether Ghost Fire to refine the soul. There are three methods of refining, one is soul washing, that is, washing away the soul's memories of this life and the potential consciousness in the depths of the soul, so that it can be used by soul refiners; the second is soul injection, which can inject soul power into the soul, and can also inject soul into the dead; The third is to transform the soul and completely refine the soul into pure soul power. But no matter which one it is, as long as you are not careful, the soul that has been refined will be directly scattered. ”
