Chapter 0009: Deep in the Strange Cave
What is this place?
Tie Meng rubbed his aching buttocks, touched his head and limbs, and fortunately, except for some numb and crispy feelings, there was no injury. He slowly half-sat up, surveying everything in front of him.
It was supposed to be a huge stone house in the depths of the cave, but it was so dark that he couldn't see it clearly.
"Who are you?!Why did you get me here?"
Tie Meng couldn't help but raise his voice and asked.
"Don't ask me who I am, tell me, who are you and why did you come into this hole?!"
A voice seemed to fly out of the ground, strange, with a wavy trilling sound around it, and asked angrily.
"I, my name is Tie Meng, yes, I am passing through here, coming, looking for water to drink," Tie Meng said, "Why did you arrest me here?"
"Y-you're telling the truth?" asked the same voice, still echoing around, with a tone full of suspicion.
"Of course, of course it's true!"
After a short "exchange", Tie Meng finally stabilized his mind, stood up completely, and pretended to be calm and gently patted his body, and looked at the front again.
Although I still can't see it completely, my eyes have adapted to the environment, yes, this is a huge underground stone chamber, surrounded by strange rocks, high and low, and there are constantly spring water dripping from the cave wall, and the sound of "ding ding dong" running water continues to come into the ears.
"Whoosh——!
It seemed to be a puff of black smoke, and it seemed to be a dark shadow, which quickly swept past his eyes and disappeared, and then "whew", and the hole suddenly became extremely bright, but he couldn't see where the source of the fire was—Tie Meng's eyes were suddenly stabbed with sore tears, and it took him a long time to get used to it.
"Hahahahaha-"
It was still the same voice, with a raging laugh, a huge trilling echoing far through the crooked hole.
"No matter who you are, no matter what you have to do, you, a man, a man of flesh and blood, come here, you can only stay here forever, be my slave, and give me your spirit, your flesh and blood, your will, up to your soul!
Terrifying laughter!
"Why?" Tie Meng was not intimidated by him, "I just entered here unintentionally, I didn't endanger you!
While asking, Tie Meng secretly instilled his thoughts, his qi and blood were slowly condensing, and he could clearly see that his arms were slowly becoming thicker, lighter, and blacker, until the slowly flowing energy flow in the tendons and veins was clearly visible.
"Don't move," the voice said, "I know what you're doing, you'd better listen to me, and stand there obediently, or it won't do you any good!"
Tie Meng had no choice but to return to his original state, and he didn't dare to move again.
"I've been here for more than two hundred years," the voice said, "and no one has been here in all these years! I've seen only bats, rats, snakes, and dirty spiders and centipedes for two hundred years, and all sorts of reptiles, eating their foul-smelling flesh and sucking their inferior souls, and I'm fed up! I just need someone to accompany me, of course, if I can completely capture a living person here, let him stay with me for a long time, be my faithful slave, and slowly dedicate everything he has to me, then it will naturally be of great benefit to me and to my cultivation! So, since you have sent you to the door yourself, of course I can only smile unceremoniously, how can I let you go again? You, just stay and be my slave with peace of mind, so that you can live a few more days! Hahahaha!! ”
Tie Meng couldn't help but feel a burst of creepy!
Quietly, he lightly touched the Seven-Star Wolf Slayer Treasure Knife behind him with his hand.
"Brush Brush Brush !!"
The moment his hand touched it, the Seven Star Wolf Slayer Knife jumped out of most of the blade body from behind him, radiating countless brilliant rays of light at once, instantly illuminating the dark stone chamber like a kaleidoscope, and the blue colors lingered.
"What kind of treasure is that?" the voice asked, after a pause, "I didn't expect that I would be able to get such a good treasure not only from yours?" Oh, it's a treasure sword, I see, you want to fight me just by relying on it?! I think you're still dead in this heart! My cultivation over the past 200 years is not something you can resist with one or two treasures! Don't believe it, look at it!"
"Hoo ——!"
A thick puff of smoke erupted from the darkness, trapping Tie Meng in the middle at once, and he suddenly felt that he could not breathe, and he could not see anything in front of him. When the black mist slowly dissipated, the Seven Star Wolf Slayer Knife was quietly inserted behind his back, and no trace of brilliance radiated out.
"Okay, I, agree to be your servant," Shaoqing, Tie Meng paused, and said, "It seems that I can't leave here." However, you ——, have to let me know who you are, where you are now, what kind of origin you are, don't let me always hear a voice telling me what to do, how I can do it to better help your cultivation, you have to tell me all this, right?!"
There was silence.
"Alright!" said the same voice at the end.
"Whew-"
Another large piece of colorful brilliance and rainbow flashed in front of Tie Meng's eyes again, and the entire cave was shrouded in a dense atmosphere, and the halo of light once again extended far and far along the cave wall. The halo dissipated, and a tall figure was already standing in front of Tie Meng. A large patch of glow shrouded his body, and Tie Meng only felt that the darkness and light in front of him were constantly intertwined and flickering, and he couldn't help but look up—
What a tall figure, more than twice as tall as Tie Meng. A circle of white and bright flickering light enveloped him, and his body was tightly covered with a black armor, which also continued to shine with black and bright light. Looking up, a strange tricolor helmet shrouded a huge head, the face could not be seen clearly, only two white and bright eyes could be seen, the lanterns generally radiated in the darkness, and tiny lightning flashed in the pupils. And the most bizarre thing is that there is always a flame burning above his head, like an eye from the depths of hell, constantly jumping and flickering, changing all kinds of strange colors.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" Tie Meng asked, "Even if I am a slave, I must know the origin of my master, right?"
