Chapter 5 Underground Distress

As you go deeper, the underground labyrinth exudes more and more ominous aura.

Xiyue followed Su Chen closely, but she didn't dare to make a sound, so as not to interfere with Su Chen's location of the underground river, in fact, it was good to get lost, if you accidentally disturbed something, it would be a big trouble. There are many dangers hidden in this labyrinth, and those people and horses who came to chase and kill Su Chen are constantly being damaged. Not to mention catching Su Chen, it is a problem for them to even get out of here.

The sound of water in the underground river is becoming more and more obvious, and Xiyue can also hear it, indicating that Su Chen is looking for the right way, and both of them feel a little relieved, and they have found the underground river, so as long as they follow the river, they can leave this underground.

The flying feather emitted a faint blue light, and it also exuded a faint ice phoenix aura, illuminating the way ahead, but also deterring some potential threats, Su Chen and Xiyue were able to be safe, thanks to the ice phoenix flying feather. However, if a powerful creature appears, the deterrence of the Ice Phoenix Flying Feather will also be ineffective.

As they walked, the two of them came to an open place, leaving the underground labyrinth like an anthill, but there was only a narrow passage in front of them, only for one person to move forward, and it meandered downward, blending into the darkness, and the rumbling sound of water became extremely clear at this moment.

"Just go all the way down this road, right?" Xiyue asked in a low voice.

"It should be. Su Chen nodded and said in a low voice, "I'll go ahead, you follow me closely, if you find something wrong, you immediately retreat, it's important to save your life." ”

"Why do you keep saying such things, I won't leave you alone. Xiyue said dissatisfied.

"Stupid, you can at least find a way to save me when you're safe!" Su Chen glanced at her. Xiyue opened her mouth, thinking that this was really the case, so she let out an "oh", and then the two of them continued to move forward, still cautious, for fear of alarming something.

The screams in the labyrinth are finally completely gone, which means that the people who came to chase and kill Su Chen have been wiped out, which is good news and bad news. Without these people sharing the attention of the underground creatures, Su Chen and Xiyue will soon become targets, and now those mysterious creatures have not yet appeared, but it does not mean that the two of them are safe.

There was no place to lean on either side of the narrow road, Xi Yue glanced down, and immediately took her eyes back, because there was nothing but darkness below, and the only sound was the sound of the water flowing in the underground river. Su Chen's footsteps were brisk, and he kept staring at the narrow road, and as he walked forward, he became more and more uneasy in his heart, always feeling that danger would come at any time. Entering the underground labyrinth was originally a risky thing, but now there is only one way here, which makes this underground world even more unusual.

Although the Qitian Mountain Range is not a Jedi where people stop living, there are also many dangerous creatures living in the mountain range, if it weren't for being chased and killed, Su Chen would not have fled here, this is a desperate choice to survive. Now venturing into this darker place is even more fatal. But he can't panic, otherwise he and Xiyue will both die here.

When the light came to light when the flying feather was sacrificed by Xiyue, Su Chen found that the aura of this magic weapon could deter some relatively weak creatures, which was also the biggest life-saving magic weapon of the two of them. It's just that he doesn't know how powerful the flying feather magic weapon can be, but he hopes that it can be useful until he finds a way out.

The sound of the water was getting louder and louder, indicating that the two were getting closer and closer to the underground dark river, which made Su Chen feel a little relieved. There is a big river near the Qitian Mountain Range, its source is in the mountain, if he is not mistaken, this dark river should be connected to the river near the mountain range, and if he goes downstream, he can leave this underground world.

Suddenly, Su Chen stopped, Xiyue didn't pay attention, hit him on the back, "oops", and asked in a low voice, "Why did you stop?"

Su Chen didn't speak, nor did he look back, but stared at the front and made a backward gesture to her. Xiyue hurriedly covered her mouth, she understood, something must have happened in front of her, Su Chen was telling her to retreat.

The two of them slowly moved back with a tacit understanding, Xiyue converged the light of the magic weapon, and only illuminated the feet of the two of them so that they could see the road clearly, as for what was in the darkness ahead, Xiyue couldn't see clearly for a while, and it was impossible to ask at this time, so let's go to a safe place first.

A fluttering sound accompanied by a piercing scream from far and near, Xi Yue looked up in astonishment, almost screamed in fright, on the cliff above their heads, I don't know when there were countless red bright spots, facing Su Chen and Xi Yue below, but it seemed to be afraid of something, just hanging in the darkness above, and the sound came from this pile of red light points.

Xiyue pointed to Su Chen, Su Chen also found out about this situation, and immediately frowned, but he was still calm, glanced at the top, then looked at the front of the narrow road, and whispered to Xiyue: "Go back first, those should be bats, they are afraid of your magic weapon, and they dare not approach us for the time being." There's a big guy up ahead, don't alarm it, or your magic weapon won't work. ”

Xiyue nodded, and then the two of them continued their previous rhythm and retreated.

However, Lucky didn't intend to take care of the young man and woman, from the exit of the underground maze, there was a more dense sound of fragmentation, and the two had to stop in place, Su Chen stared at the big guy in the dark, Xiyue was on guard of the position of the maze, and there was a dense swarm of bats above the two. Now, as long as one side makes a big move, a big war will inevitably break out, and Su Chen and Xiyue are most likely to become cannon fodder.

"I kind of regret it. Xiyue smiled bitterly, "We shouldn't be here." ”

Su Chen sighed lightly: "It's useless to regret it, let's find a way to live." ”

Xi Yue found that Su Chen held her hand and stuffed a slender thing into her hand, Xi Yue was stunned, touched it, and recognized that it was a scroll. At this time, Su Chen said to her, "In case of danger in the future, you immediately activate this scroll and leave, it will take you outside." ”

Xiyue asked, "What about you?"

Su Chen said: "It's okay, I'll find a way to live." If the teacher's revenge is not avenged, I will not die easily. ”

Xiyue's heart was blocked, but there was also a warmth. When she was outside before, Su Chen said that she was going to lure those people away, it turned out that there was a way to escape, but she insisted on following Su Chen, and she swore that she would save the lives of the two, but it put each other in a more dangerous situation. If she had listened to Su Chen's arrangement at that time, she would have thought that the two of them would have been safe at this moment.

But will she be able to escape safely at this moment?

Xi Yue's heart was crossed, and she stuffed the scroll back into Su Chen's hand, and said, "If it weren't for me, the two of us wouldn't have ended up here, and now I can't leave you behind." ”

Su Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes again, and suddenly wanted to scold this girl, but he endured it, and said, "Why are you so brainless?

Xiyue couldn't help but cover her face, she was speechless for a while, and thought: "So how much do you have?" The girl was moved and blamed herself for a long time, she was really embarrassed to death...... After Su Chen said this, Xiyue no longer refused, and took the scroll handed by Su Chen again, ready to slip away at any time.

The narrow road shook, and Su Chen and Xiyue felt a pang in their hearts, and hurriedly concentrated on vigilance. There was no movement in the direction Su Chen was facing, but on Xiyue's side, with the light of the flying feathers, she saw a monster that was not big or smallβ€”an ant that was at least twice as big as an adult! The vibration was caused by its landing, which showed how powerful it was. The ant was all black, and the six strong and powerful ant feet were covered with barbs and stained with dark red blood, and a faint smell of blood wafted in. In addition, the ant had a pair of giant claws, which were also stained with blood, and it had a single horn on its head, and its tentacles were flanked by horns, and its eyes were no different from those of ordinary ants.

The most amazing thing is that this ant is not the only one, the narrow road is constantly vibrating, and several strange ants appear one after another, completely blocking the road. The monster ants that appeared later were smaller than the earliest ones, and had not yet grown a single horn.

In the sky above Su Chen and Xiyue's heads, six different golden points of light suddenly appeared, and the strange ant in front raised its head upward, and its huge claws moved, but there was electric light flickering on the single horn.

"That's ...... One-horned Thunder Swallowing Ant!" Su Chen was extremely surprised, his heart sank even more, seeing the behavior of the strange ant, he glanced up, found the six golden light lights, thought for a while, suddenly understood, and said to Xiyue in a low voice: "Trouble, you are a thunder swallowing ant over there, and we have a golden-eyed demon bat on our head." ”

"I know. Xiyue frowned and asked, "What did you see before?"

"A spider. Su Chen replied, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Black Widow, the most poisonous of all poisonous spiders." In terms of the cultivation of that black widow, not to mention you and me, even the golden-eyed demon bat and thunder swallowing ant in front of me can't stand its poison. ”

In the Jindan period, this is the realm of the golden-eyed demon bat, the one-horned thunder-swallowing ant and the black widow that are currently appearing. In other words, these three monsters have cultivated the "Dan" and have truly entered the ranks of the demon clan, which is not something that Su Chen and Xiyue, who are still in the spirit control period, can fight against, and the two have no choice but to find a way to escape.

Suddenly, Su Chen hugged Xiyue and squatted down, Xiyue screamed, but saw a crystal spider silk piercing through. The original target was supposed to be the two of them, but Su Chen discovered it and dodged it, and the spider silk was castrated, and it went straight to the one-horned thunder swallowing ant.

As if enraged, the thunder-swallowing ant struck out with lightning from above its horn, shattering the spider silk. The dazzling electric light briefly illuminated this space, revealing a scene that made Su Chen and Xiyue's scalps tingle: countless bats hung above, and they were suddenly frightened and flew in panic by the electric light, only the size of a half-human, The bat with three heads and six eyes stood still, and in front of the narrow road, a black magic spider as big as a calf was entrenched in a huge spider web, and the eight blue blue eyes revealed a terrible murderous aura, and there were strange magic patterns on their bodies, faintly flowing with blood-colored light, and the eight spider spears were cold and sharp, and it was intimidating to look at.

The Black Widow's attack broke the stalemate, and the one-horned thunder swallower took the lead. Its single horn condensed the thunder light, and as soon as it raised its head, it was the first to slash at the bat swarm, and the electric light swept over, and those bats with low strength suddenly died a large number, the golden-eyed demon bat was furious, and let out a sharp long roar, the sound wave expanded, Su Chen and Xiyue immediately covered their ears, but they still felt a splitting headache, and their souls even had signs of going out of the body. The one-horned thunder swallowing ant facing the sonic attack was not afraid, and directly a lightning split out, and the sound wave collided, and suddenly burst out with a strong concussive force, the entire underground cave shook, and the sharp stone at the top of the cave was shaken down and smashed down.

Su Chen took Xiyue in his arms and said to her eagerly, "Open the scroll and hurry up!"

Xi Yue nodded and said, "Okay, you can also leave quickly!" As she spoke, she took out the scroll and hurriedly opened it, a halo of light appeared, and the teleportation formation engraved on the scroll was activating, and it only took a moment for Xi Yue to leave safely.

However, a slender spider silk suddenly appeared, cutting the scroll like a sharp blade, the teleportation circle suddenly collapsed, and the power implied on it exploded, Su Chen raised his hand to protect Xiyue, and the two were impacted and fell down from the narrow road, fortunately, the direction was on the side of the underground dark river.

On the way to fall, Su Chen reached out and grabbed a bulge on the cliff, and with the other hand, he hugged Xiyue tightly, and the two of them hung on the cliff like this. However, the battle between the two monsters above became more and more intense, and the rocks kept falling, threatening to hit the two of them at any time.

"I still have a spatial teleportation scroll in my arms, you can take it and use it. Su Chen said to Xiyue, "You use the scroll to leave, and I'll continue down to find the underground river." ”

"But......" Xiyue hesitated, and suddenly caught a glimpse of something approaching above, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be the black widow, which used a spider spear to fix itself on the cliff, and was approaching her and Su Chen.

Su Chen also found the black widow and said hurriedly: "Hurry, otherwise the two of us won't be able to leave!"

Xiyue nodded hurriedly, freed up a hand, reached into Su Chen's placket, and soon found another spatial teleportation scroll, when she opened the scroll, she already had a choice. The light of the teleportation array lit up again, and the Black Widow seemed to sense the change here, speeding up her speed, and at the same time spit out several spider silks, which came from several directions.

"I'm going to see you soon. Su Chen smiled at her.

Xiyue also smiled, but just as the formation was activated, she aimed the front of the scroll at Su Chen, and in Su Chen's stunned gaze, she pushed him violently, breaking free of his embrace and falling down at the same time. The two ice phoenix flying feathers roared out, not to protect Xiyue, but instead surrounded Su Chen, bouncing or cutting off the spider silk that was attacking at great speed, temporarily solving Su Chen's crisis, and then galloping towards Xiyue, who had already disappeared into darkness, leaving two brilliant blue lights in Su Chen's eyes.

"Stupid!"

Su Chen was also decisive, and he didn't want the scroll, so he let go directly, kicked his foot on the rock wall, and took the initiative to fall down, which was much faster than the speed at which Xiyue fell, just hoping to catch up with Xiyue before she "fell to death", so that she could be saved once.

Seeing that the two prey were falling one after another, the black widow roared angrily, and spewed out an arrow condensed by venom in the direction of Su Chen's fall, and then did not pursue, turned upward, wanting to take advantage of the battle between the one-horned thunder swallowing ant and the golden-eyed demon bat, it was best to kill the two opponents of the same realm, and swallowing their inner pill could help her cultivation to a higher level.

The underground space is not large, if Xi Yue turns into the body of an ice phoenix, she can't even spread her wings, and in the spirit control period, she can't fly in a humanoid state, so she can only wait to land, or fall into the underground river. However, she was still a little comforted, Su Chen was in danger because of her idea, and finally saved his life, which can be regarded as repaying the care he has taken care of herself in the past few days. It's a pity that his cultivation is low, and he can't exert more of Fei Yu's strength, otherwise he will definitely be able to save both of them.

Fei Yu chased after him with a blue light, Xiyue sighed, and was about to close her eyes and wait for the final fate, but saw a handsome and elegant man flying down, and suddenly exclaimed: "Why didn't you escape?"

After all, Su Chen's falling speed was much faster, and he finally caught up with Xiyue, and he didn't know how deep it was underneath, and Xiyue hadn't fallen to the bottom yet. Su Chen looked around, twisted his waist, went around Xiyue with a volley, stood up in mid-air, and then put his foot on the big stone that fell together under Xiyue, slowed down the fall, stretched out his hand to catch Xiyue, and replied angrily: "Can't you listen to me again?" Who needs you to sacrifice your life to save me!"

The corners of Xiyue's eyes were wet all of a sudden, and she didn't know what to say, but she just grabbed Su Chen.

"The scroll is gone, so I'm left to my fate. Su Chen said helplessly. The rumbling sound of the water was getting louder and louder, and the two of them were rapidly falling into the underground river. At this time, Xiyue was held in Su Chen's arms, and Su Chen was in a standing posture and fell straight down.

"That's better than a meal for three monsters. Xiyue muttered.

Su Chen laughed, and the sound of the water was already ringing in his ears, at least he could fall into the underground river, so that he could have more life.

At this moment, the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air came from overhead, Su Chen suddenly raised his head, the poisonous arrow spewed out by the black widow was already close in front of him, Xiyue didn't even have time to control Feiyu to defeat it, the poisonous arrow would hit Su Chen's eyebrows!

At the critical moment, Su Chen's reaction was not unpleasant, and he turned sideways while turning his head, avoiding the vital point, so as not to accidentally injure Xiyue with the poisonous arrow, but the poisonous arrow was still pierced in his shoulder, and in Xiyue's frightened gaze, the poisonous arrow melted like ice and snow, and Su Chen's face was immediately covered with a layer of dead ashes......

The black widow's poison attacked Su Chen's whole body at the moment of blood, but it was blocked by inexplicable forces in some key parts of the human body, Su Chen would not die in a short time, but the poison made him lose all his strength in an instant, and he was no longer able to hold Xiyue, his hand hung down weakly, and the whole person was unconscious.

"Su Chen!" Xiyue shouted, pulling him with her backhand, the two flying feathers seemed to have an inexplicable sense, and the blue light was sheng, forming a light curtain, enveloping both of them.

At the same time, a wave came, and the underground river was under them, and the two of them were wrapped in the light curtain of flying feathers, fell into the underground river, and were immediately washed away.

Life or death is up to fate.
