Chapter 16: Into the Abyss

CHAPTER XVI

The two of them set off early the next morning, and in only half a day, they reached the place marked on the map where they could enter the abyss.

"What kind of path is this! Is it clearly a cliff that can barely be put down!" Ling Si looked at the so-called path into the abyss in front of him, and shouted dissatisfiedly.

Yun Xuan was also speechless for a while, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Okay, since you're here, don't complain anymore." ”

"Brother Yun Xuan, it seems that the past two days have been too calm. Ling Si looked around, there was nothing but the bare rocks, and at the same time it was quiet and terrifying, except for the breathing of the two of them, there was only the sound of the howling wind.

Yun Xuan also frowned, "Yes, it stands to reason that the 'Nether Tiger' unique to Xuanyin Mountain should be active in this internal area, but we haven't encountered any of them, not to mention that the 'Netherworld Tiger' is other spirit beasts, and we haven't encountered them in the past two days." Yun Xuan paused and said, "Be careful when you go down, maybe there are some powerful guys hiding under the Netherworld Abyss." ”

Listening to Yun Xuan's words, Ling Si burst out laughing: "Hehe, Brother Yun Xuan, don't worry, the Netherworld Ghost Qi all over this Netherworld Abyss is extremely corrosive, this corrosive power can not only corrode the body, but also corrode the spiritual power, no spirit beast can survive in such an environment." ”

"Oh, that looks like a lot less trouble. Yun Xuan nodded, and then looked at Ling Si in horror as if he remembered something and asked, "Then how do we get in!"

Ling Si chuckled, shook the two small emerald green pills in his hand at some point, and said, "I stole a few Qi Holding Pills from home and came out. As he spoke, he handed Yun Xuan a one, "This breath-holding pill can transform people into internal breathing within six hours, which is suitable for this environment." As for the damage of the 'Nether Ghost Qi' to the physical body, there will not be much of a problem in two or three days. ”

Yun Xuan carefully looked at the turquoise pill in his hand, sighed and said, "You are really well prepared!" Yun Xuan was a little stunned, he was also going out to practice, a little girl in the family was well prepared everywhere, and she seemed to be very clear about what the situation was, and then think about herself, it seemed that she only prepared some healing medicine in addition to dry food......

"Hehe, the little sister came out for the 'dark water', so naturally she knows a little more about this dark abyss. Ling Si seemed to see Yun Xuan's thoughts, and pulled Yun Xuan's sleeve, "Let's go, Brother Yun Xuan, let's go down." ”

Yun Xuan nodded, and swallowed the Breath-Holding Pill handed over by Ling Si. The two of them climbed down the so-called path.

About two hours later, Yun Xuan and the others stopped at a slightly more spacious cliff. Yun Xuan let out a long mouthful of turbid qi in his body and looked around. And Ling Si sat directly on the ground, muttering and complaining incessantly. Yun Xuan looked at the girl's resentful appearance, smiled helplessly, reached out to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and looked up, because the two of them had gone deep into this netherworld abyss at this time, and the ghostly aura in the abyss was also getting stronger and stronger, through the gap in the abyss, he saw that the originally blue sky was showing dark gray at the moment, and the scorching sun that originally emitted light and heat from the hanging sky was also dim, and the surroundings were as if they were about to be swallowed up by endless darkness, extremely dark.

"Brother Yun Xuan, what do you want?" Ling Si's light voice woke up Yun Xuan in a daze.

"Hehe, I'm stunned. Yun Xuan smiled awkwardly. "By the way, Ling Si, how deep is this netherworld abyss. ”

"We should be half deeper. I'll forget it if I'm tired......" Ling Si's tone was full of frustration.

Listening to Ling Si's words, Yun Xuan was also stunned, "It's only a little half." But after a while, Yun Xuan returned to normal, smiled and patted Ling Si's little head sitting on the ground: "Cheer up, haven't we already come down a little half, hold on, and it will be here soon." It's dark water, and it's worth the effort. ”

"Okay, I know, I know, don't slap me on the head, I won't grow tall!" Ling Si got up from the ground, pushed Yun Xuan's hand away dissatisfiedly, and muttered with a small mouth.

Yun Xuan shook his head with a smile and didn't speak, he took out a wrist-thick rope from the storage token on his waist, one end tied around Ling Si's waist, and the other end tied to his waist.

"Brother Yunxuan, what are you?"

"We've only been halfway deeper, you see the concentration of this ghostly aura, if you go down, the visibility will definitely get worse and worse, and tying a rope can be regarded as preventing us from getting separated. After tying the rope, Yun Xuan took out two fluorescent stones from the token and tied them to the ropes around the waists of the two of them. The faint light suddenly illuminated the surroundings a lot.

After doing all this, Yun Xuan nodded with satisfaction, looked around, and muttered, "I really don't like the feeling of darkness." Just as Yun Xuan looked around, Yun Xuan's body suddenly trembled, and he dragged Ling Si beside him behind him.

"Brother Yunxuan?......"

Yun Xuan turned his head and made a silent gesture to Ling Si, slowly drew his long sword from behind his back, and pointed it forward vigilantly.

Ling Si was a little confused, a pair of beautiful eyes looked in the direction that Yun Xuan was looking at, because of the little light, Ling Si vaguely saw that there were small red dots flickering on the cliff wall in the distance.

"Hurry up!" Yun Xuan suddenly shouted, dragging Ling Si up the cliff.

Seeing Yun Xuan so nervous, Ling Si also knew that something must have changed, and he also followed Yun Xuan to climb up with all his might.

Just as the two of them were rapidly climbing upward, a tiger roar sounded in the Netherworld Abyss. Turning his head and glancing into the distance, Yun Xuan only felt that the hairs on his body exploded in an instant, and there was also a fine cold sweat oozing out of his forehead. Those flickering red dots are rapidly approaching here, and as those red dots get closer and closer, huge figures slowly appear in the rich ghostly aura.

"Nether Tiger! I didn't expect that there were so many Nether Tigers hidden in this Netherworld Abyss. Looking at the increasingly clear figure, Yun Xuan only felt a chill in his heart, it seemed that today was more than auspicious.

A few Nether Tigers who were the first to arrive at the foothold in front of Yun Xuan, with a pair of blood-red tiger eyes, stared at Yun Xuan and the others, obviously the red dots that Yun Xuan and the two of them saw in front of them were the fierce eyes of this Nether Tiger. Roar!~ With a tiger roar, these Nether Tigers quickly rushed down the narrow cliff wall towards the two of them.

"Brother Yunxuan, what should we do. Looking at the Nether Tiger getting closer and closer, Ling Siqiao's face turned pale, and her voice trembled and asked.

Looking at the fierce beast chasing at extreme speed, and then at Ling Si, who was a few steps behind him, Yun Xuan gritted his teeth and cut off the rope connecting the two with a swing of his sword.

"Brother Yunxuan...... Are you going to leave me......" I don't know why, when Ling Si looked at Yun Xuan's decisive way of cutting the rope, his heart suddenly hurt. Just when Ling Si was in a trance, thinking that Yun Xuan was going to abandon herself, a pair of warm hands held her arms strongly, and before Ling Si could react, she only felt that her body was thrown up by those warm and powerful hands. "You go up quickly!" The familiar male voice came, making Ling Si wake up instantly, at this time Ling Si's body was already in the air, when she turned her head to look, tears broke the embankment in an instant, for the emaciated figure who rushed towards the tigers alone with a long sword.

Thrown by Yun Xuan like this, Ling Si soared upwards for more than ten meters, don't look at the distance of only more than ten meters, but on this narrow and winding mountain wall, it was more than ten meters vertical, but it was enough for Ling Si to escape from the pursuit of the Nether Tiger. What's more, there is Yun Xuan's blocking below.

"Brother Yunxuan!" Ling Si attached himself to the mountain wall, looking down anxiously. "How could I miss him like that! I'm so damned!" At this moment, Ling Si scolded himself thousands of times in his heart, and the pain in his heart was only more suffocating than before. "Brother Yun Xuan!" Ling Si shouted one after another. Because the ghostly aura was too strong, Ling Si could only vaguely see the figure fighting below, as well as the tiger roar in his ears.

"What's the call! Don't go up quickly!" Yun Xuan's reprimanding voice came, but there was a trace of pain in that voice, obviously Yun Xuan was injured. Listening to the pain in Yun Xuan's voice, Ling Si only felt as if his heart had been pinched, and he turned around and rushed down.

"Cloud Shou Three Styles!" Looking at the more and more Nether Tigers around, Yun Xuan performed the Cloud Shou Three Styles three times in a row, protecting himself in layers of light shields, at this moment Yun Xuan had been forced back to the slightly spacious cliff where he had rested with Ling Si before, but the area of more than ten meters was completely surrounded by more than twenty Nether Tigers.

Yun Xuan stood in the light curtain and gasped for breath, most of the clothes on his body had been soaked with blood, the right arm holding the pure gold sword was bleeding, and Yun Xuan had three deep claw marks on his back, the flesh and blood were blurred, and it was miserable. At this time, he could only rely on this layer of light mask to buy himself some time to adjust, he had already thought about it, he must fight out, even if he was disabled, he had to leave here! There were still many things waiting for him to do, and there were still many people waiting for him to protect.

Yun Xuan watched the light mask being broken layer by layer, shook off the bloody long sword in his hand, and couldn't help but be arrogant, just when Yun Xuan was about to raise his sword and rush out, his pupils suddenly shrank, because he saw a familiar petite figure that actually appeared in his sight.

The person who appeared was naturally Ling Si, and before Yun Xuan could reprimand angrily, the Nether Tiger that was attacking the light mask had already turned around and rushed towards Ling Si on the mountain wall.

Seeing this, Yun Xuan couldn't care about anything anymore, the long sword cut through the light curtain, and the tip of his toe slammed to the ground, and it shot towards Ling Si, the speed was even a little faster than the wind attribute Nether Tiger. It has to be said that the energy that people burst out in a crisis situation is enormous.

Just as the claws of a Nether Tiger were about to pierce through Ling Si's petite body, Yun Xuan had already blocked in front of Ling Si, poof, a mouthful of blood spurted out of Yun Xuan's mouth, and a bright red liquid splashed Ling Si's body.

"You...... Why are you disobedient......" Yun Xuan struggled to support the cliff with both hands, so that his body could keep a little distance from Ling Si, just to prevent the sharp claws that pierced his chest from hurting Ling Si.

Looking at the pitch-black steel knife-like claws piercing Yun Xuan's body, Ling Si only felt his brain buzz, and instantly felt as if the world had collapsed, spinning the sky.
