Chapter Thirty-Six: The Twin Divine Trees
I don't know how long I've walked, but the road ahead is still endless.
I don't know how long I still have to walk, Mu Yi didn't expect this cave to be so long, although he was ready, Mu Yi was still very surprised.
The cave stretches endlessly, and a lava river and a dark river flow side by side, running the entire cave to the end.
Mu Yi knew that as long as he kept moving forward along this dark river, the two of them might eventually get out of this underground cave, or they might end up walking towards the bottomless abyss.
Mu Yi and the others have been setting off for a long time, and the road ahead is still unpredictable.
On the contrary, the entire underground cave became more and more open as he went, and Mu Yi even saw a very large magma lake along the way, and the tumbling magma couldn't help but overflow out of the lake, turning the rocks outside into pieces of ash.
After a few more days of walking, the underground cave still did not reach the end, and I did not know how long it was, but fortunately there were many fatty fish swimming at the bottom of the cave in the dark river on the other side, so the two of them did not need to worry about lack of food.
It's just that the boundless and endless cave makes Mu Yi have a bad premonition, if this cave really runs through the entire Juntian Continent, then when will the two of them come to the end, I'm afraid this life is hopeless.
Although there is no despair in his heart, Mu Yi does not want to wander in this dark cave for the rest of his life.
Along the way, Mu Yi hoped to find a tributary that flowed into the dark river, so that the two of them should have hope of getting out of this underground cave. But to Mu Yi's disappointment, there was no such tributary at all, so there was no choice, and the two of them had to continue walking along the dark river.
In the distance, Mu Yi heard a rumbling sound in front of him.
With a happy heart, Mu Yi quickened the pace of his feet and walked quickly in the direction where the voice came.
The sound became louder and louder, and finally, Mu Yi came to the place where the sound came from, but the scene in front of him made Mu Yi and the others dumbfounded.
In front of me was a fractured cliff, a cliff formed in this underground cavern, formed on the path of the magma river and the dark river.
The cliff is hundreds of zhang high, almost as high as the wall of a capital city above Juntian.
I saw the magma and dark river flowing here from the cliff for thousands of miles, rolling down to the bottom of the cliff, and the deafening sound resounded throughout the cave.
The rushing magma and the dark river stirred each other, and eventually came into contact with each other as they fell, and the hot magma melted the icy river water, raising a misty mist that shrouded the cliff.
Below the cliffs, where the lava and the river fall, is another magnificent sight.
I saw that under the cliff, two huge lakes appeared in front of Mu Yi and the others.
The two lakes, one fiery red and the other blue and cold, are distinct in the middle, and a winding obsidian separates the two lakes, forming a strange scenery of water and fire.
The fiery red magma lake on the left is constantly churning and agitating, but the blue lake on the right is as smooth as a mirror, and the lake surface does not have the slightest ripple.
Water and fire, red and blue, reflect each other, stored in an open and magnificent cave underground, Mu Yi believes that it is difficult to form such a spectacular scene in other places.
Shangguan Qingwan was also so surprised that she opened her cherry mouth and stared intently at the spectacular scene below the cliff.
At the same time, Mu Yi also found a picture that shocked people's spirits.
I saw that there was no other cathartic channel between the magma lake below and the lake on the other side, and there was a lava and dark river on the other side of the two lakes.
It came from two other directions, and the lava and the river all merged into the lake below, and the river, winding upwards, disappeared into a dark cavern.
Mu Yi was excited in his heart, knowing that there was hope for the two of them to get out.
So, Mu Yi seized the time, took Shangguan Qingwan, chose a relatively flat place, and began to climb down.
Since Mu Yi couldn't use the qi and blood of his whole body at this time, and he couldn't give full play to his cultivation, Mu Yi had to be cautious, especially with Shangguan Qingwan, so he had to be even more careful, lest he end up falling off the cliff and giving away his life in vain.
It took an unknown amount of time, and Mu Yi and Shangguan Qingwan finally came to the bottom of the cliff smoothly.
Mu Yi, who was sweating profusely, was about to continue walking towards the dark river, but Shangguan Qingwan, who didn't want to be beside him, pulled his sleeve.
Turning his head, he looked at Shangguan Qingwan suspiciously, but Mu Yi found that Shangguan Qingwan's eyes had been staring in one direction.
As Shangguan Qingwan's gaze looked, Mu Yi finally found something that attracted Shangguan Qingwan's attention.
When he saw that thing, Mu Yi also opened his mouth wide in surprise.
I saw that between the magma lake and the blue lake, a strange tree appeared in Mu Yi's eyes.
It was a strange-looking tree, and Mu Yi had never seen such a tree before. I saw that the tree was more than a foot high, and less than the thickness of an adult's arm.
The tree was bare, without a single branch or leaf, and at first glance it looked like a dead stem.
The most amazing thing is that this tree is actually formed from two trees that are entangled and intertwined with each other. The branches of the two trees were old and vigorous, and the bodies of the trees were covered with dense scaly protrusions that were close to each other.
The scales were covered one by one, one by one, as if they had put on a layer of armor for two trees.
Another surprising thing is that the two trees have two completely different colors, one is fiery red and the other is blue, which corresponds to the color of the lake on both sides.
The two trees, one red and one blue, are entangled with each other, circle after circle, constantly climbing upwards and forwards, and finally tangled into a complete tree.
This is the strange tree that appeared in the eyes of Mu Yi and Shangguan Qingwan, saying that it is a tree, but in fact, it is only similar to a tree, as for whether it is a tree or not, it is still uncertain.
This strange tree grows in the middle of a lava lake and a dark blue lake, and its roots are supposed to be hard obsidian, but the truth is different. Underneath the roots of the tree was a plain rock full of cracks and cracks everywhere. It is strange that such a rock is not swallowed up by the blazing magma on one side, but stands strong there.
"Do you know what kind of tree this is?" Mu Yi asked Shangguan Qingwan beside him.
Shangguan Qingwan shook her head slightly, obviously not understanding what this kind of tree was.
Indeed, this tree not only grows strangely, but also grows in this unreasonable place, and if it were an ordinary tree, it would have long since turned to ashes.
But this strange tree not only did not die, but grew very vigorously, so this strange tree must have some divine features, otherwise it would not have taken root here.
After glancing at Shangguan Qingwan, the two finally decided to go to the tree to take a look.
The two jumped into the lake, the icy water was bitterly cold, and there was no heat at all.
The constant steaming of water above the lake also permeates the entire lake. Therefore, on the top of the cliff, the two of them could not see such a dwarf tree, and only when they came to the bottom of the cliff could they find their traces.
In fact, if it weren't for Shangguan Qingwan's reminder, Mu Yi wouldn't have noticed this strange tree at all.
Swimming across the cold lake, Mu Yi and Shangguan Qingwan climbed onto the stone where the strange tree grew.
Coming to the top of this stone full of cracks, Mu Yi found that there was another mystery under the strange tree.
Through the cracks in the stones, Mu Yi found that dense tentacles had been drawn from under the roots of the strange tree, and these tentacles were split into two and stretched out to the bottom of the two lakes.
The blue lake on the right is just that, and these tentacles will not be a big problem to reach into, but will provide plenty of water for the growth of strange trees.
But the tentacles that stretched out into the magma lake on the other side were incredible, and instead of burning the roots of the strange tree, it seemed as if they were still unscathed.
Mu Yi was full of wonder, full of questions about this unique strange tree.
Stretching out his right hand, Mu Yi slowly touched the top of the strange tree.
Just when the tip of Mu Yi's right finger touched the strange tree, suddenly, Mu Yi felt as if his whole body was tightly absorbed by the strange tree, and his whole head was like falling into a sea of fire in an instant.
"Ahh
On the side, Shangguan Qingwan saw that from the strange tree, there were continuous surges of red and blue, pouring into Mu Yi's right hand connected to the strange tree, and then Shangguan Qingwan clearly saw through the skin on Mu Yi's hand that this endless stream entered Mu Yi's eyebrows.
Then this surge gathered at the center of Mu Yi's eyebrows, and it couldn't stop tumbling and surging, while Mu Yi was sweating in pain.
In a hurry, Shangguan Qingwan pulled Mu Yi's left hand, wanting to pull Mu Yi away from the strange tree.
But as soon as Shangguan Qingwan's jade hand touched Mu Yi's left hand, the surge in Mu Yi's eyebrows seemed to have found an outlet for catharsis, and immediately rushed to the place where the two of them came into contact with their hands.
The red and blue intersecting currents continued to tumble and surge, wandering among the bodies of Mu Yi and Shangguan Qingwan.
And Shangguan Qingwan not only did not drag Mu Yi away, but was immediately adhered to Mu Yi by an inexplicable suction.
Soon, Mu Yi and Shangguan Qingwan fainted one after another in the process of surging between the two of them, and fell down under the roots of the strange tree.
Mu Yi and Shangguan Qingwan couldn't see the changes that had occurred in their bodies, but gradually, the red and blue intersecting currents gradually slowed down their rushing speed.
Then a miracle happened, and the surging current that had been surging in the bodies of Mu Yi and Shangguan Qingwan finally stopped at the place where their hands were connected.
Eventually, a red surge returned to Mu Yi's eyebrows again, where it circled for a few laps and finally disappeared, while another blue surge flowed through Shangguan Qingwan's eyebrows, which also circled around a few times and finally disappeared.
