Chapter Forty-Nine: The Path of Despair
"Go, follow me!"
After Yun Ruojie finished speaking, she put a miniature flashlight in her mouth, then leaned into half of her body along the hole and slowly climbed in.
Unrestrained hesitated, secretly saying that this land is so soft, if it causes a large-scale landslide after entering, it will definitely be a lifeless situation. If he is lucky not to be buried in the soil, the road may also be blocked, and he is really bare-handed and has no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground.
Unrestrained looked at the dark and deep cave, and could no longer see Yun Ruojie's figure, only the light of the misty flashlight in the cave became more and more dim, leaving only a quiet white moonlight.
He gritted his teeth fiercely, since he had already decided, he couldn't retreat halfway, not to mention that if he didn't even dare to face this danger, how could he really stand on top of the world in the future?
He crouched down and poked his head into the hole, and he smelled a pungent smell, and the cold, damp air penetrated into his nostrils, and he felt like he was going to suffocate.
Uninhibited took two large breaths of such underground moisture, initially adapted to it with his powerful body, and then accelerated into the crypt without too much hesitation.
Unbound relied on the keen eyes to discern the direction in the pitch black, and the road ahead was rugged and bumpy, wide and narrow, like a cave of a giant underground creature, making Unbound suspect that this was the lair of a giant spider!
"Rustling ......"
He leaned down and walked quickly, his body collided with the dirt walls around him, rubbing, making some subtle sounds, but he did not stop, but accelerated with the strength of his limbs, the surrounding sludge and dirty water did not stain his body and golden clothes in the slightest, and the evolved black and white aura surrounded his body, this new aura was called "Taixu Buddha Light".
Soon, he saw the misty light in front of him, and he was suddenly shocked, knowing that he had finally caught up with Yun Ruojie, who was a little ahead of schedule.
Sure enough, he walked another twenty or thirty meters, and saw Yun Ruojie, who was lying there, stopped in a slightly spacious place, with a flashlight in her mouth, and the bright light shone on the earthen wall on the side, she was lying in the dirt, quietly closing her eyes and recuperating.
She was slightly surprised when she saw Unbound coming, then sat up straight, took out the flashlight in her mouth, and explained to Unbound in a low voice:
"The first time I went down to the cave is the most painful for anyone, you guy's mentality is really good, you rushed over so quickly, I hesitated for nearly half an hour when I first entered the cave, and then I finally dared to come down after overcoming my fear!"
Uninhibited didn't speak, secretly thinking about his ideal as vast as the sea of stars in his heart, he just smiled on the surface, and slowly stopped behind Yun Ruojie.
Yun Ruojie turned to the side and continued:
"We're going down in a spiral right now, it's about fifty meters underground, the oxygen is very thin, let's adjust our breathing a little bit, and then we'll go down as quickly as possible. Once we get the quest items, we quickly return the same way we came, and later we change. ”
Unrestrained first nodded solemnly, and then gave Yun Ruojie a well-known thumbs up, indicating that he didn't need to adjust much. For him, this kind of small activity hardly consumes his physical strength, but the oxygen intake is very fatal, even if he is in amazing health, he can't be in this state of low oxygen for a long time, it is easy to have accidents, once he can't hold it down and faints, it's over.
Yun Ruojie obviously realized the real problem, and didn't want to stay here for too long, in such a narrow and thin place, the physical strength required to do anything was many times greater, so she said in a deep voice:
"Okay, then let's move on now, you follow closely behind me, don't fall behind, and tell me if you can't keep up!"
After unbound nodded again, she took out a large mask from her backpack, unpacked it and put it on her mouth, and then took out one and handed it to unrestrained.
"This is the latest type of gas mask from the Dongtian family, you put it on tightly and breathe through it. ”
"Do I have it too?"
Unrestrained took it suspiciously, Yun Ruojie said before that she didn't bring those extra equipment, how could she have an extra mask?
Yun Ruojie saw her uninhibited expression, smiled proudly and said:
"Hehe, I secretly took the sheep from him after you abolished that Wang Fan before, this guy is really poor, and he only has a pair of gas masks on him.
Uninhibited, I put the mask on, tightly integrated with my mouth and nose, and I felt a little fresher, but it was much more difficult to inhale the air.
Yun Ruojie continued to hold the flashlight, making a forward gesture in her hand, crawling forward at a slightly slower speed, a little more careful than before, obviously because the depth of arrival was already amazing.
Unbound followed, raising his head and only looking up to see the hazy fluorescence and Yun Ruojie's combat boots, the surrounding space has a sense of oppression, which makes people shudder, there is a feeling of claustrophobia, as if climbing a winding and endless tunnel, this feeling is enough to make most ordinary people crazy!
However, this did not have much effect on the uninhibited speed, he maintained an unhurried pace, his breathing was very even, and his physical strength was reasonably distributed.
As he continued to walk, he felt that he was almost two hundred meters underground, and he couldn't help but muttered to himself why this air-raid shelter was so deep.
The strange thing is that as the two of them moved forward, there was no sign of reaching the end at all, but the dirt on the upper and lower sides became thicker and narrower, and it was okay to be uninhibited, but it was really miserable for Yun Ruojie, she felt a deep sense of oppression, the range of tossing and turning became smaller, and the dirt on both sides of her chest and back were felt unshakable, and the sound of breathing became heavy.
The unrestrained one in the back was also secretly anxious, for fear that Yun Ruojie would fall due to physical exhaustion, and it would be difficult for him to rescue him from this kind of tunnel even if he tried his best!
What's even more bizarre is that as we continue to go deeper, some black-brown disgusting bugs continue to appear, one after another, pouring out from everywhere. Some of these insects are dark all over, some are pale, like evil insects from hell, similar to cockroaches and centipedes, etc., but they are unusually large.
Although Yuan Weijian and Yun Ruojie were not afraid of these insects, they couldn't help but feel depressed when they saw these hideous faces, and when they saw these weird and ferocious insects, they felt that they were constantly going deeper, as if they had come to hell.
Unruly didn't deliberately destroy those insects, he mostly used the Taixu Buddha light that penetrated the body to bounce these insects away, or used the Buddha light to brush them away. Of course, if some insects with no eyes appeared beside and under the uninhibited body, he would not be too merciful to sympathize with these strange insects, and casually took out his hand with the true meaning of Tai Chi Dragon Fist, crushing them without any suspense.
The speed of the two crawling is getting slower and slower, smelling the rotten tide that is difficult to hide in the depths of the land, and the uninhibited head can't help but be a little dizzy, not to mention Yun Ruojie, who is in the lead, even more out of breath, it is very difficult.
Uninhibited gritted his teeth, knowing that it was time to make a ruthless move. In the process of crawling, he secretly used the strength of his whole body to accumulate the light of the Buddha of Taixu, and performed the incomplete meaning of the Dragon Fist's move, "like a seal".
This Gaishi Dragon Fist, also known as Taiji Dragon Fist or Taixu Dragon Fist, was used extremely skillfully by uninhibited in the Great Wilderness, mastering some of the supreme meanings, and was one of his most important killer skills. This dragon fist is said to be a fist method, in fact, it can be used with limbs or even the whole body, it is a boxing method that simulates the ancient dragon, corresponding to the uninhibited Taixu dragon summoning technique, incarnating the ancient dragon body, combining the sun and the sun, drawing power from the boundless void. If it is a Tai Chi Dragon Fist that contains complete mysteries, it is the same supreme move as the Vajra Demon Seal, and its potential value is no less than that of any supreme method.
Although what he obtained from the Hidden Scripture Pavilion in the mysterious stone tablet was a mutilated Dragon Fist mystery that needed to be perfected by adding his own understanding, the power was also extremely amazing. At this time, he appropriately used a clever trick to completely isolate the turbidity in the air and solve the crisis in a short time.
Yun Ruojie suddenly felt refreshed, feeling that her mind could keep up with her body again, and she had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't think much about it, and continued to speed up. Uninhibited but a little bitter to say, because separating the air for a long time is a big burden for him, and it is difficult to maintain it, let alone crawl forward in this small space.
After walking forward for a while, Weijian felt that he was a little powerless, the light of the Buddha was intermittently shining brightly, becoming a little dim, and the golden dragon ball like a relic seemed to be close to drying up at this moment, and the speed at which he drew power from the void and the Buddha realm was far less than the consumption, so now he could not shield all the moisture and yin in the air with all his strength.
At the moment when he was extremely anxious, Yun Ruojie suddenly spoke in front of him and said:
"Great, the road ahead is getting wider!"
Unrestrained was overjoyed when he heard this, and directly withdrew the little remaining Taixu Buddha light, and actively circulated Zhou Tian in his body, silently contemplating the endless void and the Taixu Ancient Dragon, and recovering his own strength.
Sure enough, when he also came to the passage, he found that the width of the crypt had increased at a considerable speed, and as he advanced, the height of the cave gradually exceeded half a man, and according to gravity, he no longer went to the depths of the earth's core, which allowed both of them to move forward easily.
Unbound crept along, calculating in his mind how far they were from the ground at the moment. He initially estimated that the distance from the surface should be close to four hundred meters, and once he finished the calculation, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, if this depth collapsed from above, it would really be finished in an instant!
Slowly, Yuan Weijian and Yun Ruojie were able to straighten up and move forward. The surroundings were still dimly and scary, and he saw that Yun Ruojie's pretty face with a flashlight was pale at the moment, like an impermanent ghost, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of himself who was also shrouded in this gloomy white light at this moment.
He touched the land around him with his hand and found that it was whitish in color, hard and dry, like mud bricks and tiles.
"Smack!"
Unrestrained pondered, his mood involuntarily relaxed, and he felt like he had escaped, and suddenly bumped into Yun Ruojie who suddenly stopped in front of him, and then touched his forehead, and said as if complaining:
"Oh, Sister Yun, why did you stop suddenly!"
He didn't hear Yun Ruojie's reply, he raised his head very strangely, and saw Yun Ruojie's solemn expression, looking ahead, so he also looked forward, and instantly fell into a sluggish state.
I saw that there was no road ahead, sealed by a thick layer of soil, and some rotting bones were scattered in front of me, exuding a disgusting smell of corpses.
"How can there be no road?"
Yun Ruojie's words were very calm, but there was a downright chill, which was despair from the bottom of her heart.
"Impossible, impossible......"
Uninhibited eyes became empty and confused, shaking their heads vigorously, muttering to themselves, if there was no way, they would have no way out, and basically sentenced them to death.
"How can there be no road? Could it be that the map given to me by the family is wrong?"
Yun Ruojie muttered to herself, and a suffocating and terrifying aura filled the place.
Uninhibited carefully recalled the road he had traveled before, and felt an inexplicable sense of terror, and a trace of crisis flashed in his mind, but it flashed away, and he couldn't think of it, which made him upset, but he didn't know why there was a sense of anxiety in his heart, as if something dangerous was about to happen, but he didn't know where it came from.
He looked at the cold land around him, and suddenly it occurred to him that this place was about four hundred meters above the ground, and this depth almost corresponded to the eighteen layers of hell in the ancient legend!
This thought came to him and he couldn't help but shudder, secretly thinking about whether this was an air-raid shelter or the Huangquan Road leading to Abi Hell!
But in an instant, he denied it, because this was purely a self-imaginary idea, just scaring himself, and it was impossible to match the facts.
"It's not a bomb shelter, what else can it be, hehe, hehe......"
Unrestrained said with a smile, wanting to comfort himself and Yun Ruojie, and at the same time relieve this extremely oppressive atmosphere.
It's just that as soon as the words fell, he and Yun Ruojie were stunned, and suddenly the two of them thought of those hideous strange insects on the way, and a terrifying thought appeared in their hearts at the same time, and instantly a bone-chilling cold air was born from the bottom of their hearts, making them themselves tremble involuntarily, and all the hairs on their bodies exploded.
If that's really what they think...... Then, they will not escape death this time!
"Get out of here now, quick!"
Unbound felt very cold in his heart, and an ominous premonition quietly spread in his mind, and a cold air rushed up from the soles of his feet, enveloping him, making him unconsciously stir.
He was just about to leave the original passage as fast as he could, but as soon as he turned around, he seemed to hear something, which made his movements freeze suddenly.
"Click......
From afar, there seemed to be a rhythmless muffled sound, small but distinctly clear, like a sharp piece of iron cutting at their heartstrings.
There was a creepy creaking sound from the depths of the passage, as if to signal that a behemoth was approaching at an unimaginably alarming speed, and it was estimated that it would not be long before the entrance of the cave would be reached.
The faces of the two of them instantly turned extremely pale, and they gasped, as if they had lost all the strength of their bodies in just a moment.
They looked at each other, a mischievous smile on their faces, but they didn't say anything.
It was a smile of utter despair, as poignant as the blood-colored flowers on the other side, as if they already knew that they were destined to die.
Uninhibited felt that his pupils were out of focus, the whole world seemed to be spinning like a whirlpool in front of his eyes, and a sense of powerlessness permeated his whole body, making him feel that his body was weak, as if he had become a walking corpse, and the despair and unwillingness and desire to survive in his eyes made people feel heartbroken when they saw it:
"It's over, it's really completely over this time......"
