Chapter 349: Alone

I grabbed the edge of the crack and tried to break it, but the surface of the stone wall was so badly decayed that it was like plaster eroded by water, and when I broke it so lightly, a large piece of the wall skin fell loosely, and after hitting the ground, it scattered into a large amount of powder and coarse stone chips.

The other side of the wall was hollow, and when I put the torch into the breach, I saw a large number of crystal clear ice lamps hanging in a crooked and extended dark passage.

It's also possible that these boxy lampheads are made of polished crystal, but from my point of view, they look like blocks of ice embedded in the top of the tunnel.

There was no other way to go now, so I tugged at the skin of the wall, and tore the hole bigger and bigger, until the diameter of the hole was large enough to pass through, and then I turned back to the slate, pressed my face against the slab, and said in a voice that was neither high nor low, "I have found a secret passage, you two are waiting in place, and I will go in and have a look." If you can hear me, give me a response. ”

Soon, there was a sound of tapping on the stone slab from the opposite side, and I didn't delay any longer, and immediately got into the dark tunnel.

Since the ground was slippery, I didn't step on my foot when I got through the hole in the road wall, and I barely managed to stabilize my body by holding on to the stone wall behind me with my hand.

The light of the fire fell on the ground, reflecting a greasy sheen, and I cautiously crouched down and examined it closely, and found that the stone floor was not only unusually slippery, but also covered with a thin layer of moisture.

I looked up and looked at the top of the tunnel, but after a long time, I didn't see any drops of water falling from it.

In this way, the reason why the ground is so smooth is definitely not because of water erosion, but more likely because the tomb builder deliberately polished it like this.

The outer tomb is covered with ice crystals, but the dark tunnel is filled with rich water vapor, which is quite abnormal, and it is said that even if the low temperature outside cannot directly affect this place, the water vapor should condense into ice near the tomb road.

Because I had eaten the Ice Silkworm Gu earlier, I was no longer afraid of cold and heat, but it also caused my ability to perceive temperature to decrease, and now I can't clearly distinguish how much the temperature difference is between the tomb outside and the dark passage in front of me.

Just as I was looking down and pondering, there was a faint beep from the depths of the tunnel, and even if it only appeared for a short time, it still felt so harsh that even my head ached slightly.

I was worried that this sound would affect my mind, so I condensed a breath of mental power and performed a mental concentration technique, while stabilizing my mind, I concentrated part of my mental power in my left eye, so that half of my vision entered the state of quicksand of the Qi Sea.

The reality of my left eye, the sand of my left eye, if I pushed back the time to half a year ago, with my ability to manipulate my mental power at that time, it would be impossible to achieve it, but now I can not only maintain such a dual vision, but also be able to move freely while controlling the condensation of mental power.

I don't want to say how much I think about my talent in magic, after all, this is not in line with the actual situation, I want to say that in this year, the second master's Spartan teaching has indeed achieved remarkable results.

When the two visions were combined, whether it was the ice lamp on the top of the tunnel, or the surrounding stone walls and ground, there was black and white sand flowing rapidly on the surface, and at the same time, I could see the colors reflected by these things in the firelight, and all the details buried under the vigorous sand in the firelight.

It's just that the field of vision in reality is limited to the area illuminated by the firelight, and the vision of the quicksand of the Qi Sea is much farther, so that in my eyes, the area illuminated by the flames is colored, and beyond the light, only a general outline remains.

The ground was so slippery that I could only scratch onto the rough stone wall and rub it forward little by little.

It didn't take long for the beep to appear again, and I stopped what I was doing and looked in the direction where the sound appeared, and vaguely saw a slender shadow flash from two hundred meters ahead, and after it disappeared, the beeping also disappeared.

That thing wasn't an evil corpse, I didn't sense the corpse qi, and when it appeared, the proportion of yin and yang qi in the dark passage didn't change.

It's not an evil corpse, it's not a ghost, it's a living thing.

It's a pity that due to the distance, the quicksand of the Qi Sea only outlines an extremely vague outline, and it is impossible to see its appearance clearly.

There was no other option than to keep moving forward, so I could only be vigilant and look around from time to time, the figure that suddenly flashed just now seemed to have disappeared into the stone wall, and I suspected that there might be some narrow holes around the dark passage.

When I came to the place where the shadow appeared, I deliberately raised the torch and glanced at the place where it had disappeared, there was no hole in the wall, but at the base of the wall lay a narrow grass, which looked a bit like a dogtail with its head removed, and when the fire hit it, it still trembled slightly.

There's always a breeze stirring in the tunnel, and I'm not sure if it's moving on its own or if it's being blown by the wind.

In such an environment, when I encountered such an indescribable thing, only people like Li Huaishan would reach out to touch it, so I deliberately kept a distance from it, and slowly rubbed it against the wall.

Before I could move far, I heard a beep behind me, and when I looked back, I saw that the grass was floating towards me.

It seemed to be able to detect my gaze, and under my gaze, it began to sink gently again, and finally landed less than a meter away from me.

I frowned, ignored it, and continued to move forward, but just a few meters away, the beep came again.

The sound was so chilling that even though I used the Mind Fixation to stabilize my mind, I still felt a pinprick in my head.

In spite, I let go of the yang line in my hand, shook it backhand, and the gossip money was hanging on the wind, and I rushed towards the direction of the sound source at a very fast speed.

Then I heard a slight "boom", which sounded a bit like the cry of an animal, and I couldn't help but be a little curious, so I turned my head to look.

Then he saw that the grass-like thing was broken in two, and it was wriggling desperately on the ground.

Sure enough, it's a living thing!

Almost at the same time as I turned my head, the ice lamp in the dark passage suddenly lit up, not gradually from dark to bright, but burst out with a strong blue light in an instant, and even the firelight was suppressed by this strong light, and the whole dark passage was bright blue.

I quickly lowered my head, and saw that in the large blue light on the ground, there were still blurred linear phantoms that were violently circling and twisting.

Those shadows, all cast from the lampshade.

I immediately realized what was going to happen next, and immediately flicked the yang line, embedded the gossip money on one of the ice lamps, and then pulled violently, allowing my body to slide quickly along the smooth ground.

The long dark passage is like a slide that extends horizontally, and I keep throwing out the yang line, nailing the gossip money into an ice lamp, and pulling the yang line hard again and again, constantly increasing the speed of the slide.

Once, because of the force I used too hard, the ice lamp was torn off by me, and it made a scalp-tingling crumble when it hit the ground, after which a manic beep sounded behind me.

As I slid forward quickly, I glanced back and saw a handful of grass-like things emerge from the shattered ice lamps, floating in the air and quickly drifting towards me, shaking their bodies and making the beeping even more harsh.

I felt like my brain was about to explode, and I wanted to plug my ears, but I didn't dare to stop, so I could only endure the sharp pain of being pricked by needles in my brain, and try my best to speed up.

I didn't dare to go fast before, because I didn't know what was going on in the depths of the dark tunnel, and I didn't dare to speed up rashly, but now, if I slow down, those disgusting bugs will soon rush to my ears.

Now that they're still a dozen meters away from me, I can't stand them anymore, and I can't imagine what it would be like if they were next to my ears and chirped.

I just hope that the end of this dark passage is not a dead end, then I will stop eating completely.

As I accelerated, fine grass began to fall overhead...... These things are not grass at all, but long threads of bugs.

I kept waving my torches to try to keep the bugs away, but they weren't afraid of fire, and as soon as they hit the ground, they floated up and pounced on my face, and soon some of them pounced on the base of my neck, and they wriggled and pierced my flesh and drilled directly into my body.

The furious beeping almost left my brain blank when I had only one year left: get out, get out!

I'm still accelerating, and a lot of nematodes are still burrowing at me.

This time no one came to save me, even the chaotic Qi field entrenched in the dantian did not appear in time, I kept spilling out the yang line, kept accelerating, gradually, these two actions completely turned into mechanical actions, I just relied on the last bit of residual instinct, in order to survive and struggle non-stop.

Even I couldn't tell how long this lasted until the blue light that erupted from the ice lamp was completely left behind me, and I felt first dark in front of my eyes, and then suddenly my body felt weightless.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that I realized I was falling at a breakneck pace, by which time the beeping had completely disappeared, and the bugs that had been stuck to me seemed to have lost their vitality and all stopped wriggling at this moment.

I shook my head vigorously and forcibly woke myself up, just now in the panic, the Mind Fixing Technique had already dispersed, and I could only condense my mind power in mid-air, and use the Mind Fixation Technique to bless my vision again.

Qi sea quicksand, a hundred meters away from my feet, there is a yin and yang Qi field is flowing at a very fast speed, yin qi is dominant, yin in the middle of the yang, there should be a dark river there, but I don't know how deep the water is.

I forced my body to twist in mid-air so that my feet were straight down, and then I felt a faint flash of fire above my head, and when I looked up, I saw that the torch was hovering and falling three or four meters above my head.

In order to prevent the torch from falling into the water, I shook the yang line, used the gossip money to knock the torch away, took off my backpack, and threw it in the direction of the torch speeding.

As soon as I watched the backpack fly out not far away, I felt a softness under my feet, and then my whole body plunged into the water.

After entering the water, my vision first became blurred, and then gradually became clearer, the water was more urgent, I was worried that I was washed too far, so I quickly spread my limbs, endured the severe pain all over my body, and swam ashore very reluctantly.
