Chapter 177: A Chance Encounter
There are many trees in the first half of Luoyou Mountain, flourishing in summer and spring, depressed in autumn and winter, and there are many pines and cypresses in the second half.
The pines and cypresses are all yin, the folk are mostly planted in the mausoleum Yongdao, used to take care of the ancestors, the pine and cypress trees are evergreen all year round, and there is also the implication of shading the descendants
Ye Cheng walked through a locust forest
This locust forest has been around for some years, and the trees are not high, and the bare black branches pierce the sky, adding a bit of gloom to the gloomy sky.
Ye Cheng jumped on the branch, and a black mountain shadow appeared in front of him, and he adjusted his direction and continued to move forward.
Xiaobai is still the same, fluffy and white balls, but the hair on his body flashes from time to time, like a fine silk brocade under the light, but if you look closely, there seems to be nothing abnormal.
Half an hour later, Ye Cheng walked out of the locust forest, and a lonely peak hundreds of meters high came into view
The whole body of the mountain peaks is gray and black, there is no grass and trees on the mountain, and the bare peaks stand behind the locust forest, which looks a little abrupt.
"Old locust, Lone Peak, it should be here" Ye Cheng stood under a huge black locust tree.
In front of the black peak, there was a huge locust tree, black as ink, with staggered branches stretching out enough to cover a small courtyard
Ye Cheng strode towards the black peak, and just as he walked to the root of the old locust tree, the sky suddenly darkened
rumble
A gust of wind struck, and a black shadow fell from the sky and pressed down on Ye Cheng's head.
creak
Xiao Bai stood on Ye Cheng's shoulder, his ice-blue eyes instantly looked into the air, and a burst of white light suddenly rose on his body, and the cold cold air swept around
"It's not time yet"
Ye Cheng seemed to be whispering to himself, but the white light on the little beast on the side gradually dissipated
Ye Cheng's hair flew, he didn't look at it, he reached out and clenched his fist and hit it directly into the air
Whew
In the gray forest, a layer of fire suddenly lit up, countless flames appeared out of thin air, and a crimson flame fist slammed into the black shadow.
Thundered
A huge black shadow smashed into the lone peak, directly embedded in the mountain wall, countless gray rocks splashed, and a huge roar resounded through the mountain forest.
"Is this the strange beast" Ye Cheng looked at the black monster on the mountain wall.
It was a two-zhang long giant python, covered with black sharp scales, and there was a pair of small meat wings on its back, which was constantly agitating at this time, as if it wanted to get out of the mountain wall.
"If you don't die with my punch, it's really the strength of the Transformation Realm"
The black python looked extremely miserable at this time, the position seven feet below the head had become a piece of charcoal, the scale armor was shattered, and the blue-black blood was flying all over the place.
roar
The giant python suddenly let out a loud roar, and its tail slapped the mountain rocks, and countless gravels shot out, and the giant snake escaped from the mountain wall with the force of the anti-earthquake.
"Huh, it's still so spirited," Ye Cheng looked at the black-scaled giant snake at the foot of the mountain with some surprise
The black python landed, the huge python coiled in a circle, the cold black light rose from the snake's body, and a pair of huge vertical pupils stared closely at the black-robed figure not far away.
With the black light surging, the wound that was about to smash the giant snake into two sections, the flesh and blood continued to wriggle, and countless black flesh buds quickly repaired the wound.
"Sure enough, it's a ghoul refining thing again" Ye Cheng felt the familiar cold ghost aura in the air, and his face remained unchanged.
This is the hinterland of the Yin Soul Sect, and the underground palace here is extremely important, so it is only natural to use ghosts and beasts to guard it with the style of the Yin Soul Sect.
The yin power in the body of this ghost python is also the level of the first transformation, but with the invulnerable snake body and the extremely rapid speed, it is not surprising that the transformation martial artist of the Han family was seriously injured.
One party has no pain, and the injury can be repaired quickly, and the other party only needs to draw a serious injury, and it is already very good that ordinary shapeshifters can escape.
Of course, this is for the average martial artist.
rumble
In the gloomy sky, a long golden sword slashed through
Boom
A terrible howl sounded in the mountains and forests, and under the black lonely peak, a pale golden long knife was inserted into the black python's head, leaving only one hilt.
The giant python kept rolling in the mountains, and the python's tail turned into an afterimage, constantly smashing the mountain stones, and the gravel under the lonely peak was splashed in a mess.
A faint voice sounded
Click
The long knife sprinkled with dazzling golden rays suddenly, and the golden ball of light shrouded the huge python's head, and the dense illusory knife shadows in the ball of light formed a torrent, directly shattering the giant python's head.
Ye Cheng pulled out the Soul Suppression Knife, and a circle of fire lit up on the knife body, instantly burning the black blood into green smoke.
"To deal with this kind of thing, it has to be a soul suppression knife," Ye Cheng sighed lightly.
The black-scaled python was completely silent, the huge snake body was lying horizontally among the rubble, and the hideous python's head turned into a mass of flesh, and the original shape was completely invisible.
Crash
A faint sound came from behind him.
"Who" Ye Cheng frowned, and his eyes stared directly at a pile of rubble behind him.
"Could it be that there is a second ghost beast, and the Han family dares to lie to me?"
Ye Cheng's eyes suddenly shuddered, according to Han Lingxue's description, there was only one shape-shifting beast around the dungeon, and there was no danger otherwise.
Ye Cheng didn't care about one or two more ghost beasts, these things were just a few knives to him, but if the Han family dared to lie to him here, would the news of the dungeon behind him also lie to him.
After all, this is the site of a transcendent sect, although Ye Cheng seems to be casual, but he is always tense in his nerves, who knows if a Tianyuan ghost thing will suddenly appear here
The mountain wind whined through the rocks
A jade-colored pony suddenly burst out of the stone pile, the pony was only a little more than a foot tall, like a toy, and the most striking thing was the four horses' hooves, which were actually made of countless black roots twisted, like four black awls.
The pony stood on a large rock, his body shrouded in a black streamer, and bursts of black mist rose from him, as if he were standing in the clouds.
“......”
One person, one horse and two looked at each other, the scene froze instantly, and the two seemed to be stunned at the same time, completely unexpecting each other to appear here
"Catch it"
Ye Cheng didn't say a word, and pointed his finger at the pony.
Xiao Bai immediately turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the pony, and Ye Cheng also flashed and outflanked him from the other direction.
Seeing two figures rushing towards him, a frightened look flashed on the pony's face, and the black mane on the horse's back stood on end.
Seeing the arrival of the two, the pony did not retreat but advanced, and rushed directly to the front, Ye Cheng and Xiaobai were stunned for a moment.
burst
A slight sound sounded, and the gray-black mountain rocks rippled like water waves, and the black jade pony actually crashed directly into the mountain rocks and disappeared without a trace.
A man and a beast stop where the pony had been, and the two look at each other for a moment.
Ye Cheng walked to the mountain rock, knocked lightly, and there was a low muffled sound from the rock wall, obviously it was not hollow inside.
"It's interesting, it's actually able to pass through walls and stones, isn't this the earth escape technique, but I don't know if this is the unique magic power of Yin Zhi Horse, or if all the grass and tree elves have mastered such abilities."
"Get ready, don't shoot casually without my order after you go in," Ye Cheng told Xiaobai
This guy seems to be a little nervous after his strength has improved, and he wants to find something to fight at every turn, and if he hadn't stopped it just now, maybe it would have fought with the giant python
Ye Cheng stretched out his hand and was about to take out the Heavenly Demon Jade
suddenly
Thundered
The mountain wall in front of Ye Cheng slowly moved to both sides, and countless gravel and dust were sprinkled, revealing a black hole.
Ye Cheng's right hand froze in mid-air, looking at the black mountain wall that suddenly opened with some consternation.
Whew
The outside air continued to pour into the hole, and it took a long time for the surrounding air to gradually calm down.
"The spirit opens the door, and the sky is wonderful"
Ye Cheng put down his right hand, and looked at the mouth of the dark hole in front of him with a flickering gaze.
Ye Cheng touched the stone wall that was removed on both sides, this cave door was three meters thick, and at this time, the hole suddenly opened, like a mouth suddenly opened on the lonely peak, if it wasn't for the mountain stone to move away automatically, I'm afraid that Ye Cheng would attack with all his strength, and it would take four or five times to penetrate this cave door
"Interesting"
The corners of Ye Cheng's mouth were slightly hooked, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he strode towards the cave.
Rumble
As soon as Ye Cheng walked into the doorway, the mountain stone behind him actually closed again, Ye Cheng looked at the mountain stone slowly closing behind him, but his eyes were getting colder and colder.
rumble
The stone door was completely closed, and the entire stone cave was completely dark, Ye Cheng closed his eyes and felt it, and a slight coolness swept across his skin.
"It's not a dead end, it's a place for ventilation"
Wow
A ball of fire lit up on Ye Cheng's right hand, and he raised his arm and walked towards the depths of the cave.
The cave is full of craggy rocks, and in some places white stalactites have been formed, and water droplets drip from the roof of the cave
Smack
The faint sound of water droplets echoed through the dark cave
Soon, Ye Cheng stopped in the center of the cave.
"Looks like this is it"
In front of Ye Cheng was a black hole, the hole was deep, he stretched out his palm, but he couldn't see the bottom of the cave at all.
Next to the entrance of the cave are two demon statues, the demon has a green face and fangs, holding a steel fork in his hand, and there are two pairs of huge bat wings behind his back, all of which are staring at the hole in front of Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng threw a stone into the hole, and not long after, the clanging sound of the stone falling to the ground came.
"About a hundred meters" Ye Cheng's eyes narrowed and said softly
"Be ready at any time, you don't have to keep your hands for anything" Ye Cheng said with a cold look in his eyes.
Xiao Bai stared at the entrance of the cave and nodded slightly.
"And this, take it"
Ye Cheng took out five ice-blue talisman seals from his body, and he put them into a red brocade bag and hung them around Xiao Bai's neck.
"Your blow consumes too much, this is for you to save your life, don't eat it, remember" Ye Cheng looked at the little beast whose eyes lit up, and suddenly felt a little headache, and added another sentence.
Xiaobai glanced at the brocade bag on his chest with some nostalgia, and could only nod slightly
rumble
Ye Cheng's whole body suddenly burst into flames, and he jumped directly from the hole.
Whew
A violent wind sounded in my ears, and the red flames were blown upwards and pulled in a straight line.
"Steel"
The firelight illuminated the surroundings, and instead of rocks, the passage was made of black steel plates, apparently not natural.
Ye Cheng's whole body was tense, and the fire vitality and blood in his body were condensed, and he could send the strongest blow at any time.
boom
A loud crash sounded in the passage
The steel plate instantly recessed, and Ye Cheng's eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and the red flames were flourishing, illuminating the surrounding scene.
The imaginary attack did not come, Ye Cheng pulled his foot out of the steel plate on the ground and scanned the environment around the underground palace.
On the ground was a black sheet of metal that was the same as the inner wall of the passage, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time, and there was a thick layer of dust on the ground.
The position he was in seemed to be a hall, and more than ten meters in front of him were three black passage entrances, which led to nowhere.
Ye Cheng glanced at the ground
There is no difference between the three passages, the left and right ones, only there are footprints on the dust of the middle passage, and the round footprints stretch forward, and finally disappear into the middle passage.
"So it's here."
A smile flashed at the corner of Ye Cheng's mouth, and he walked straight towards the passage in the middle.
His figure was getting closer and closer, and when he was only half a meter away from the middle passage, a mysterious light flashed in Ye Cheng's eyes, and his figure suddenly folded, striding towards the right passage.
