Chapter 44: The Underground Maze

There are three demons and ghosts, except for the two demons of cats and snakes, there is only one demon who pretends to be "Xia Qingyu" has not yet appeared, and it can be roughly inferred from the words of the cat demon Xiaoyu that the other demon should be to deal with Master Qi. Master Qi, who was originally sleeping in the courtyard, disappeared before Xuanyi noticed it, thinking that he must have fought fiercely with another demon and ghost, Xuanyi was a little worried.

Xuanyi turned on the Yin and Yang Discrimination Technique and scanned the surroundings, his eyes emitted a stunning green light, and he could clearly see the traces of green flocculent material left in the air. It was the residual aura of soul power, and following the traces left by the master would definitely be able to find the place of their fierce battle, Xuanyi followed all the way to the direction of the canal.

Along the way, none of the residents in the town were seen, and they only heard the sound of running water more and more clearly, and soon a wooden waterwheel with a three-story building high came into view, and the waterwheel made a roaring sound in the artificial canal dozens of meters wide and slowly operated, and the soul breath left by Master Qi was completely lost in front of the waterwheel. Xuanyi walked around the waterwheel several times and observed, part of the body of the waterwheel had rotted and discolored, and the edges were covered with moss, obviously old. Xuanyi looked carefully for a long time and didn't find any clues, and the corner of his eye inadvertently glanced at both sides of the ditch, and found that there was a willow tree growing in the bushes on both sides of the ditch.

Willow tree?Xuanyi's eyes stared, looking at this unusual willow tree, the willow tree trembled under Xuanyi's gaze, and gathered its branches and leaves like a mimosa.

Sure enough, there was something strange, Xuanyi took two steps back and slashed at the willow tree with one palm.

"Click!" The willow tree was directly broken by violence, and bright red blood flowed from the fracture, and the broken leaves and branches quickly withered and aged, and soon the whole willow tree turned into a pile of sawdust powder, leaving a large hole more than three meters wide at the root.

Xuanyi walked to the edge of the cave and kicked a stone inward, and it took a long time to hear the slight sound of the stone falling to the ground, this hole is extremely deep.

A cool breeze blew out from the mouth of the cave, with the damp smell of earth hitting the mouth and nose, and there was air circulation at the entrance of the cave, indicating that the space inside was definitely very open, and it was impossible to go down? Xuanyi hesitated a little and decided to go down to find out.

He broke a bamboo pole and held it in his left hand, wrapped the broken right hand tighter again, and jumped down towards the entrance of the cave. There was no light in front of him, only the sound of the wind whistling in his ears, and only his own body was falling at high speed, falling into the unknown depths of darkness. Fortunately, the entrance of the cave seems to be a straight road, after several friction collisions, there is no hindrance, and the speed of falling is getting faster and faster, Xuanyi has to hold the bamboo pole horizontally, with the help of the friction between the bamboo pole and the rock wall to slightly ease the speed of falling, just when his arm is numb and almost exhausted, he finally vaguely sees the ground under his feet, and the green light emitted by the pupils clearly shines on the "land" below actually refracts the wave phosphorescence, and the bottom is actually water? Or is it an underground river? Xuanyi's mind turned sharply, and with his left hand, he threw the bamboo pole that was bent and deformed and almost broken vertically into the water.

"Whoa!"

The bamboo pole infused with internal force shot into the water, stirring up a splash of water, the bamboo pole has not touched the bottom of the Xuanyi has fallen towards the position of the bamboo pole, the legs just clamped the bamboo pole, and then the whole person rotated several times to resolve part of the falling force before falling into the water.

Cold! Bone-chilling cold! The underground river instantly soaked his clothes and stuck to his skin, and his frozen clothes shivered, but fortunately, his water nature had grown greatly, and he used his intact left hand to stubbornly paddle the water to prevent himself from sinking, and at the same time looked around for a place where he could go ashore.

The river was very deep, so deep that Xuanyi couldn't touch the bottom at all, but fortunately, the river was not turbulent, Xuanyi struggled to swim towards the shore on one side, and it took a lot of effort to finally touch the rock wall on the shore. But there was no place to go ashore around, and it was definitely not okay for the whole person to soak in the water for a long time, so he had to choose a random direction and slowly swim forward against the rock wall, and couldn't help but regret his reckless move.

In the cramped space, only the sound of Xuanyi's paddling was heard, and the river was still as calm as ever, but Xuanyi did not dare to let his guard down, and he kept an eye on the nearby waters as he swam to prevent something from hiding under the surface of the water to sneak up on him.

Walked and rested and swam for a long time, fortunately, there was nothing to do all the way, the sound of water heard in front of him became louder and louder, Xuanyi was happy in his heart, the sound of water washing was huge, indicating that there were tributaries joining or terrain changes caused a height difference, maybe there was a turnaround, it was not known, Xuanyi stopped in place and rested for a while to recover his physical strength and then swim forward.

Sure enough, the water flow in front of him accelerated significantly, Xuanyi didn't need to spend much effort to be rushed forward by the current, the speed of the river was getting faster and faster, and gradually Xuanyi was almost carried forward by the river, he was shocked in his heart, the water flowed to a lower place, the faster the water flowed, indicating that the height of the riverbed was declining sharply, and there might be an unimaginable huge drop ahead.

Xuanyi hurriedly checked his martial arts attribute panel, the internal force value was only 80 points, the soul power value was 70 points, the divine power value was 0 points, and the combat power had dropped to about 15,000 points because of the fracture of his right arm.

Just when Xuanyi was still calculating, "Bah!", he hit his head on a raised stone, the corners of his eyebrows instantly cracked, blood burst out, rubbing his painful head and looking ahead, there were countless dense brown stones on the river in front of him, showing his hideous fangs, waiting for Xuanyi to hit himself.

Although Xuanyi has mastered 10 major martial arts, of which there are many internal and external skills, but there are no hard skills related to strengthening defense, and the only applicable Bodhi Golden Bell is only activated 1% and cannot be used at all.

The distance of dozens of meters was approaching in an instant, and in desperation, Xuanyi had no choice but to die as a dead horse and move the angry vajra martial arts, at least this martial art was the highest level and the highest proficiency among the martial arts he mastered. The internal power focuses on the circulation of internal force and has a certain restraint on ghosts, and has nothing to do with the hard skill of defense, the golden Buddha light has just filled the meridians in the body, and the Xuanyi is rolled up by the river and washed into the rocky beach.

"Bang bang!" collided more than a dozen times in a row, Xuanyi only felt that the sky was spinning, and he had "intimate contact" with stones in many places on his body, and he was also unlucky to drink a few mouthfuls of cold river water. The rest of the body has been flawless, he used his intact left hand to protect his head, desperately urging the internal force to churn up and down in the river, although the body infused with internal force did not strengthen the defense, but it also had a certain lethality, at least the angular stones where the Xuanyi passed were smashed by him while bringing him wounds.

Xuanyi's internal strength was exhausted little by little, and there was a roar in front of him, which was a waterfall formed by the flow of water. He has no power to complain, he found that his recent life has been in a "falling" circle, first falling off a cliff and then a hole and then falling into a waterfall, the death index far exceeds some extreme athletes in the previous life, at least people still have a protective gear, no matter how bad they are, there is an insurance or something.

"Bang!" the turbulent water just slapped Xuanyi on a sloping flat stone, and the next second, like a carp determined to leap into the dragon gate, jumped out of the water at a 45-degree angle and threw himself towards the waterfall below.

It's really fun this time!
