Chapter 103: Xi Ling (3)
Another hidden area was discovered by Xiao Ash, looking at this cave with a rope ladder hanging and obviously being able to go down, Ling Chen hesitated...... Do you want to go down? I came here to look for the Black Flame Grass, but I have been looking for nearly four hours, but I have found nothing. The entrance to the cave in front of him is obviously leading to a very deep bottom, there is no possibility of the existence of Black Flame Grass in that kind of place, if you go down, not only may you encounter unforeseen dangers, but also may delay a lot of time, if that "terrible guy" comes back at that time, he will lose his last hope of getting Black Flame Grass.
Do you want to go down!?
Ling Chen turned his head and looked in the direction he had come from, he had been looking for so long, but he had never found anything, he had become more and more convinced that there was no Black Flame Grass in the Silent Soul Ridge now.
"Forget it, if there was really Black Flame Grass in Lonely Soul Ridge, it should have been found a long time ago." Ling Chen muttered silently, walked to the entrance of the cave, grabbed the rope ladder, and slowly descended along the rope ladder. He wondered what kind of place this hidden cave hidden in the Lonely Soul Ridge would lead to.
In fact, the guess that Ling Chen was vaguely thinking about now was already a fact...... Now there is no Black Flame Grass in Silent Soul Ridge at all, and even a long, long time ago, Black Flame Grass has been extinct in Lonely Soul Ridge. The record that there is black flame grass on the Lonely Soul Ridge is still from 10,000 years ago, and within these 10,000 years, no living beings who entered the Lonely Soul Ridge survived, so no one knew this fact at all...... The Blue Dragon City Lord didn't know either.
Therefore, the task that Ling Chen received can be called a giant pit daddy task that is impossible to complete and has a cruel task punishment.
The hole was very narrow, and Ling Chen's shoulders were always attached to the dirt walls on both sides as he descended the rope ladder. Xiao Ash also climbed the rope ladder with both claws, following Ling Chen gradually down, its body sensitivity was already more than Ling Chen, and it was easy to climb a rope ladder.
A forbidden place that no one can set foot into, a hidden cavern that leads to the underground in the Forbidden Land...... The thrill and mystery contained in this made Ling Chen's heartbeat speed several times. The more secret this kind is, the more secret it is, and the more ordinary people must not set foot in it, the more extremely unusual things will be hidden, perhaps some big secret, or some special human or beast...... It is also possible that there is some anti-heaven level treasure hidden.
After going down for dozens of meters, Ling Chen suddenly noticed a faint light below.
Light!?
Is there someone down there?
Ling Chen's movements suddenly stopped, and he stared down. The light that appeared below showed a faint fiery red, which seemed to be the light released by the red flames, and judging from the location where the light appeared, he was still more than ten meters away from below. Ling Chen listened for a while, but he didn't hear any sound, and there seemed to be no sign of the existence of living beings. He was a little relieved, but he didn't let his guard down, controlling the movement of his body to a minimum, and climbing down little by little.
After continuing to descend more than ten meters, his foot finally landed on the ground. When he landed, he deliberately made a loud noise, and his hands were firmly clenched on the rope ladder, so that if there were dangerous creatures below, he would immediately notice his entry, and Ling Chen would also choose whether to immediately grab the rope ladder and escape up according to the strength of the creatures that appeared.
The sound of landing was loud in this quiet underground space, but after a long time, no other sound was heard. Ling Chen's heart let go of most of it, it seems that there are indeed no living beings here.
Leaving the rope ladder with both hands, Ling Chen turned around and began to look at the underground space. In front of his eyes was a long, narrow underground tunnel. The red light he had seen earlier was coming from the front end of the tunnel.
What is it emitting red light...... Could it be some rare treasure hidden in this space?
There was no dangerous aura coming from ahead, and Xiao Ash followed him very comfortably, without issuing any warning of danger. Ling Chen stepped forward along the tunnel, and as he walked forward, the red light in front of him became more and more intense. The breath and air of Silent Soul Ridge are extraordinary. It was cold, this underground space should have been even colder, but every time he took a step forward, Ling Chen felt that the cold feeling on his body was a little less, and when he reached the middle of the tunnel, the cold feeling had been replaced by a hazy warmth, which made Ling Chen's body relax. Ling Chen continued to move forward, and the warmth began to be mixed with a slight scorching heat, which became more and more obvious and intense...... But it's not the intolerable kind.
Could it be that this red light is a burning flame...... Or the light emitted by flowing magma? How could it be so scorching? Ling Chen thought silently in his heart.
After walking for dozens of meters, the exit of the tunnel appeared in front of him, and the burning sensation in front of him had caused a layer of fine hot sweat to overflow on Ling Chen's forehead. He quickly took a few steps forward and walked out of this tunnel, and suddenly, a circular space with hundreds of square meters appeared in front of him, and at the same time, a scorching wave of air came from the surface, making him directly suffocated,
Here it is......
Under the strong red light, everything in this space can be seen clearly, the first half of the space is completely empty, there is nothing there, and the inner half of the space is crisscrossed with pitch-black silk threads one after another. These black silk threads still show a pitch-black color without any impurities even in the red light, and countless lines crisscross and overlap each other, weaving a fine black net. And in the middle of this large black net is the source of the scorching temperature and fiery red light. The moment he saw this source, Ling Chen's eyes showed a look of surprise and amazement......
What a beautiful bird!
In the center of the black giant net, releasing a scorching temperature and red light, it turned out to be a large fiery red bird. It is about one meter long, in a state of spreading its wings and flying, and its head is high, just like the head of a phoenix, beautiful and noble. Its feathers are all fiery red, like clusters of burning flames, and the feathers on the chest and abdomen are faintly shimmering with a dazzling golden color, and the feathers on both sides are also fiery red with a little bit of gold, like two layers of gorgeous and dazzling gold yarn. The tail feathers are long and long, and they are also pure fiery red, but visually they are more beautiful than the colorful vacant feathers, especially the central tail feathers, which are like golden threads that shimmer with noble light in the flames, which are indescribably beautiful.
Ling Chen was stunned for a moment, because this was definitely the most beautiful and gorgeous creature he had ever seen in his life. Beautiful to the point of being unreal. It remains motionless with its wings spread and flying, and seems to be a gorgeous sculpture. Countless black threads were all around it, obscuring a large part of the beautiful light it released.
Is it a beautiful sculpture? So what are these black lines around? Why is it hidden in this extremely dangerous and extremely secret place? Ling Chen stepped forward in his thoughts, and continued to observe the beautiful big bird in the black net, as he approached, more scorching waves of air came to the surface, making it a little difficult for people to breathe, but it was also completely bearable. As he got closer, Ling Chen found that even its two eyes were fiery red, and its red pupils were shining, although they were still and motionless, their sharp gaze vaguely released a noble temperament that looked down on all living beings. When the pupils of these eyes twitched slightly, they faintly brought up a moment of scorching golden light.
Ling Chen's body stiffened like an electric shock, and his footsteps suddenly stopped, staring ahead in shock.
The eyes of this big bird...... It just moved!
This is not a sculpture, but a living thing!!
He was sure that what he had just seen was not an illusion, but indeed that the eyes of the big bird moved. Ling Chen didn't move forward, but looked straight into its eyes...... Finally, a minute later, he caught the faint flutter of its eyes again.
It's really a live bird!!
Ling Chen looked at the space again, and finally his eyes fell on these black strange silk threads, these black threads did not seem to be simple entities, because they were also covered with a layer of pitch-black light, and he couldn't count how many black silk threads there were, and the fiery red bird in front of him was in the center of the large net interwoven by these silk threads.
Ling Chen instantly understood...... It's these threads that trap this big fiery red bird in it! In other words, these black silk threads are actually to catch this big bird.
Then, this underground space that I discovered also exists to block this big bird.
What kind of creature is this, and why is it locked down here?
Ling Chen's mind suddenly flashed the words that Qian Rolling had said before...... "That terrible guy usually doesn't leave casually, it seems to be guarding something." ”
Could it be that he is guarding this big bird that has been blocked to prevent it from breaking through the blockade and escaping?
A person with at least god-level strength, who has lived in the Silent Soul Ridge for at least 10,000 years and does not allow any other living beings to enter, is it just to guard this giant bird? If so, then what kind of creature is it that makes such a powerful person not hesitate to leave the guard for thousands of years. If this big bird is an extremely dangerous creature, then why not just kill it, but seal it up like this...... Is there no way to kill it?
Still is...... Are your assumptions completely wrong?
Ling Chen continued to move forward, wanting to see the whole picture of the big bird more clearly, and at the same time raised his left hand and used the camera function on the call wristband to take pictures of the big bird's form and its situation. As he slowly approached...... When he was about ten meters away from the nearest black silk thread, a black light suddenly shone on his right hand...... The Moon of Damnation spontaneously manifested its original form, radiating an incomparably deep black light.
What's going on......; Ling Chen's footsteps stopped, and he looked at the Moon of Damnation on his right wrist in surprise, and suddenly, he seemed to realize it and looked up ahead.
As the black light of the Moon of Damnation shone brightly, the black light on the black lines closest to Ling Chen suddenly weakened and became weaker and weaker, and after a few seconds, they completely disappeared like volatile icicles.
