Chapter 66: The Fourth Day, Life in the Slave Soul Cave (I)
ran all the way, until Qin Chen and Mu Li came across a place where they could rest peacefully for the night. This place is one of the forbidden places in the Aoki Forest, and it is one of the hundreds of burial grounds where the Heavenly Wind Empire buried the captives alive ten years ago, and for this reason, the residents of Luoluo City call this place the Slave Soul Cave, which means that this cave is a resting place for the souls of the captives, and no living beings are allowed to violate it. Ordinary caves are either dominated by powerful monsters, or they are invaded by vibrant plants, but there are no two situations in this slave soul cave, but sweet spring water is sparsely produced, and the strange thing is that this spring water does not have any springs, nor does it flow, as if it appeared out of thin air, how it began and how it is now.
In the ten years of seclusion and cultivation, Qin Chen basically browsed the entire Aoki Forest, not because she was a master and bold, but at that time, no, it should have been before the hunting competition began, the highest-level demonic beast in the Aoki Forest was the king of the wind wolf who had signed an equal contract with Luo Fan, and there was no such thing as a sixth-order demonic beast at all. Before encountering the leech again, Qin Chen didn't plan to use this slave soul cave full of weird rumors as a place to stay during the competition, but the appearance of the leech gave Qin Chen enough reason to believe that Luo Longchuan, the lord of Luocheng City, had let a high-level demonic beast live in all the forbidden places suitable for the survival of high-level demonic beasts.
During the aimless wandering before arriving at the Slave Soul Cave, Qin Chen hunted the demonic beasts used for the stomach, and at the same time casually put the symbol of the Tongguò competition, the "Luo" badge, in the pockets of all the participating hunters he passed by, because Qin Chen knew that after the competition, the referee would inevitably collect all the badges before liberating the participating hunters, because this "Luo" badge is not only a proof of the competition, but also a symbol of the Luo family's identity, and there is no room for any mistakes. As long as the game is over, there will be a soul imprint imprinted on the "Luo" badge by the children of the Luo family personally, so Luo Qinchen is not afraid that the badge he put will be ignored.
This kind of wandering continued until dusk, and Qin Chen finally found a place where all the places that could be accommodated were safe from the harassment of foreign enemies, that is, the Slave Soul Cave that was now presented in front of Qin Chen. According to Qin Chen's personal experience, except for the water spring that appeared out of thin air and the passage to the underground, the rest of the place is not much different from the other caves and caves in the Aoki Forest, since this is the case, as long as you pay attention not to enter the passage and do not drink the spring water, anyone can live well here. And the Slave Soul Cave is not grassy all year round, and there are no creatures living there, probably because at dawn the Slave Soul Cave will inexplicably emit bursts of biting frost, and this frost is spread up through the same underground passage of Guò, as long as it comes into contact with this cold, even if it is just a wisp, the whole body will be frozen into ice without any suspense, whether it is huge or not, but under this cold, the spring water in the Slave Soul Cave is still so gentle and clear, it seems that the damage of the cold has no effect on it。
Although this dawn freeze is also one of the many strange rumors about the Slave Soul Cave, the description of the Slave Soul Cave is not much different from the Slave Soul Cave that Qin Chen visited, so Qin Chen secretly kept this rumor in his heart. There are two key points in this rumor, one is the passage to the underground, and the other is the unharmed spring. Therefore, after he was full of wine and food, Qin Chen asked Mu Li to drive the ring of "Natural Contract" worn on his finger, and used his water attribute physique to use the spring water in the Slave Soul Cave for his own use, and condensed the spring water into a water cover that was enough to protect himself when the cold that might exist appeared in Zài. After carefully sorting out all the equipment he carried, Qin Chen left the wooden glass in the cave, outside the cave has already been laid by Qin Chen, as long as any demonic beast or human enters the Slave Soul Cave within a radius of ten miles, it will be tightly entangled by the cobwebs laid by Qin Chen, and it is not possible to break free until the water of the cobwebs is completely evaporated after three days.
Picking up the torch, Qin Chen walked alone to the passage to the underground, and when he stepped into the first step of the passage, countless extremely sticky spider silk surged out of Qin Chen's body, sealing the entrance of the passage tightly, as if only by doing so, the cold in the rumors would not pour out of the ground.
The moment he entered the passage, the originally dark passage seemed to be illuminated by the torch in Qin Chen's hand, although it was not as clear as it was in broad daylight, but it was still possible to see it clearly. Due to the influence of the tomb robbery novels in his previous life, Qin Chen, who had just entered the passage, did not hurriedly follow this passage, but carefully observed the entrance of the passage. Under the caress of the slender hands, the stone walls of the passage are very smooth, like the stone pebbles on the beach that have been carefully carved by the waves, delicate and smooth. When I looked closely at the firelight, I found that there were several dark and thick painting marks on the smooth wall, which seemed to be just a simple drawing line, but it was integrated with the stone wall of the entire passage, and it was natural.
"This passage shouldn't be zài, right, if it is deliberately carved, these black lines are too casually drawn. After a careful look, Qin Chen slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said a question to himself, there were less than three hours left before dawn, without much thought, Qin Chen continued to advance into the depths of the camp step by step, but kept paying attention to the murals on the walls in this advance. As he went deeper step by step, Qin Chen found that the mural on the wall did not have any gaps, on the contrary, the deeper he went, the more complex the mural became, the more surprising Qin Chen became. Even along the way, Qin Chen was so attracted by the mural that he stopped to admire these intricate patterns.
As we go deeper, the air in the passage gets thinner and thinner, and the temperature gets cooler and colder. In desperation, Qin Chen had no choice but to take out the blood-breaking longbow hidden in his left arm. The appearance of the blood-red blood-breaking longbow dyed the entire passage with a faint red starlight, completely banning the role of the torch, and the blood-breaking longbow that absorbed the natural power of the fire system exuded a faint temperature, driving away all the cold that surrounded Qinchen. Estimating that there was not much time left, Qin Chen relied on his body-protecting qi with a blood-breaking longbow, and hurriedly spread his speed, and with the help of gravity, he quickly advanced towards the depths of the passage.
After a while, the body protection qi of the blood-breaking longbow finally couldn't resist the cold invasion of the underground passage, and the biting cold penetrated Qin Chen's body through the qi gang, but in an instant, a thin layer of frost formed on the thin placket. However, this bit of frost Qin Chen did not put in his eyes, when he learned that his physique did not belong to any kind of attribute, Qin Chen has been conducting a lot of special training on the most common cold and hot sensations, so that Qin Chen's body's ability to withstand cold and heat exceeds the tolerance limit of ordinary people. The passage seems to be endless, but the patterns on the walls are becoming more and more complex, and the dense Cheng dù covers almost the entire stone wall, if Qin Chen's guess is correct, then the end of the passage is in front of him.
"Who is bothering!" Sure enough, just as Qin Chen felt a thicker chill coming to his face, a voice full of majesty and anger suddenly sounded. Following the sound, I found a white skeleton sitting at the end of the passage, and if the path of sound transmission was correct, then the majestic sound was coming from this skeleton.
Just when Qin Chen verified whether the skeleton in front of him was the voice just now and whether it was made by the skeleton in front of him, the skeleton understood slightly, although it was only a slight one, but it was captured by Qin Chen's extremely sensitive six senses. Thinking of the black letter he had just received, Qin Chen involuntarily clenched the blood-breaking longbow in his hand and said softly, "Necromantic creatures?"
Hearing this question, the skeleton that was originally sitting upright was no longer calm, and stood up agilely, leaving only the bones in his right hand to directly manipulate the big knife placed aside, and slashed at Qin Chen fiercely. said that it was too late, but I saw Qin Chen's toes lightly, and the whole person was like green smoke drifting in the wind, narrowly and dangerously dodging the knife that cut his head and covered his face. Growing up with Qin Chen is not only Mu Li, who is a hunter and a physician, but also Mo Lixuan, who has always aimed to become a king-level heavy warrior, the competition between the three is definitely not a small number, although this similar slashing attack is simple, but it is one of the most effective attacks, and there are many encounters, and over time, dodging and slashing has also formed consciousness. Dodging this simple split, Qin Chen directly reached out and grabbed the right hand of the skeleton holding the knife, the hard bone cold touch made Qin Chen's heart startled, it turned out that the moment Qin Chen touched the skeleton, a cold breath instantly poured into Qin Chen's body along Qin Chen's veins.
Sensing this chill, Qin Chen did not hesitate and hurriedly poured a bottle of pill into his mouth without chewing it, and swallowed it directly, and suddenly, a scorching breath erupted from the dantian, forcing all the cold chill out of his body. While Qin Chen was digesting the medicinal power, the skeleton that was the first to do it did not intend to take advantage of the danger, but put down the big knife and quietly leaned against the wall. At this time, Qin Chen, all his thoughts were on guiding the medicinal power, this bottle of pill, named Leyang Dan, is a variety of medicinal dry and violent medicinal materials refined by martial fire, used to drive away cold evil, but when taken without the invasion of cold evil, Leyang Dan will turn into a deadly **, so that the user will explode and die in an instant. At this time, Qin Chen was in this state of being on the verge of exploding, and there was not much cold that penetrated into his body, but Qin Chen misunderstood this chill as the deadly Breath of the Yellow Spring, and the purpose of Leyang Dancun in the world was to relieve the cold of the Breath of the Yellow Spring. In this way, the non-lethal chill is dispelled, but the deadly and violent medicinal properties are introduced.
After a long stalemate, Qin Chen's consciousness began to show a little sign of collapse, and when he felt this situation, the skeleton leaning on the side moved. I saw the skeleton put his white hand on Qin Chen's shoulder, and suddenly, the infiltrating chill poured into Qin Chen's body along with the skeleton's hand bones, along the meridians and the violent medicinal impact together, the two energies of cold and hot kept running in to offset it, and the skeleton also carefully paid attention to the capacity of the medicinal power, carefully controlling the amount of cold qi infiltrating into itself. As time passed, Qin Chen's face gradually regained its calmness, obviously the cold qi conveyed by the skeleton completely neutralized the changes caused by the excessive medicinal power, and it was only at this time that the skeleton took back the hand that was on Qin Chen's shoulder, so as not to invade Qin Chen's body again with the cold that he couldn't control.
"I don't know who you are, but thank you for saving your life. After a long time, Qin Chen gradually woke up, and the medicinal power in his body could be calmed, and there was nothing else except the innate cold of the necromantic creatures.
