Chapter 158: Underground Stone Chamber
This big hole appeared without warning, and it didn't give them time to react at all, and when Chen Heng came back to his senses, he had already followed a corridor and kept sliding down.
This road, like a trap that someone else has already dug for a long time, stretches all the way underground.
However, Chen Heng believed that this Yongdao was by no means fixed in this position, otherwise it would not have been such a coincidence that he and Qin Rui would fall into a big hole alone, and they would not find anything at all at the beginning.
It can be seen that as long as the person who laid this path is willing, he can let it appear in other places at any time.
As for whether this position is a specific point, Chen Heng is not sure.
The corridor is not wide, and at most it can only squeeze out two people side by side, but Chen Heng has already separated from Qin Rui at this time, and there is only him here, so naturally he will not feel crowded.
It's just that he can't stop whereabouts, and he doesn't know how deep he is going to fall, and the huge feeling of weightlessness makes Chen Heng feel uncomfortable for a while.
"What awaits me down here?"
"No matter what it is, if you don't quickly find a way to stop the momentum, this fall will be gone, I'm afraid there will be no bones!"
At this critical juncture, Chen Heng calmed down and did not struggle blindly.
There is mud all around, and if you put a little force on it, I'm afraid it will collapse directly. Otherwise, Chen Hengda could use the Pure Gold Flying Sword to pierce into it, even if he couldn't stop the momentum, at least he could slow down the speed of falling.
If there is nothing underneath this, he can be buried alive once the earth collapses.
In such a deep place, no matter how strong your cultivation is, you can't escape from it.
After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Heng couldn't come up with a practical way, because he didn't have anything to use, and there was no terrain that could be used here.
"Can we just leave it to fate?"
"No! I can't give up!"
I don't know why, but at this time, Xiaobai's figure flashed in Chen Heng's mind.
"If Xiaobai is here, with his cleverness, there will definitely be a way!"
Thinking of this, Chen Heng couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, even if Xiaobai came with him, it would be a pit for one person, and it would be impossible to rely on others.
"I don't want to be thrown to death, so I can only take a dangerous move!"
"Hopefully, it's hollow down here, or I'll really have to be buried alive. ”
It's just that in such a short period of time, Chen Heng feels that he has fallen by hundreds of zhang, and I am afraid that after a while, he will be able to fall directly from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
If it drags on any longer, even if there is a waterhole below, if it falls with this momentum, Chen Heng will inevitably fall to his death.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng didn't hesitate any longer, and two pure gold flying swords appeared from his arms, one left and one right, and pierced directly into the earthen wall of the road.
"Shh
As soon as the Adamantine Flying Sword plunged into the soil, it only slowed down its momentum.
The two flying swords directly cut two long gullies on the soil walls on both sides, and the soil above also began to be unstable, falling down incessantly, sprinkling the soil on Chen Heng's head.
But fortunately, the speed at which the soil fell was not fast, and it had not completely collapsed, otherwise Chen Heng would have to be buried alive if he didn't wait for the bottom.
After a long while, Chen Heng suddenly found that there was a little light underneath, which was gradually enlarged.
"It seems that it is going to be the end!"
"After all, I made the right bet, and the bottom is not solid. ”
If there is light, it proves that there is something else below.
At this time, Chen Heng finally understood that this big hole should be the ghost that the townspeople said.
It is no wonder that none of the people who went up the mountain could go back, and fell directly from the top of the mountain to such a deep place, and if they could not find the way, they would starve to death here.
Now Chen Heng only thinks about getting out of this damn bottomless pit first, and as for whether he can get out of the ground, it will be safe.
As long as you keep your feet on the ground, there will always be a way.
The point of light gradually enlarges in the eye, and it is exactly the same size as the surrounding corridor.
The white light was similar to the light that Chen Heng had encountered on the third floor of the library before, and it should have been something like a luminous pearl.
"What kind of sacredness is it, to be able to build a stronghold in such a deep underground, the ability is really not small!"
Until now, Chen Heng didn't have any emotions to worry about, pretending to be a ghost like this, I was afraid that it was just to scare people, scare the people who came down half to death first, and then the other party would get twice the result with half the effort.
If this person is really capable, he can just shoot directly, so why bother so much.
"It's here!"
Chen Heng's eyes froze, he lifted his breath and lightened his body, and with a low snort, the spiritual power in his body suddenly burst out, which also slowed down the momentum of his fall again.
If you fall at this speed now, you will fall at most, and you will not die.
And Chen Heng dared to guarantee that there would definitely be life-saving things underneath this, such as thick mats, or pools.
Otherwise, what is the use of the enemy trying so hard to bring them down, only to end up with a corpse?
Since there are still life-saving things, coupled with the momentum he has slowed down, if there is any danger waiting for him below, he can also react at the first time.
Before the thought fell, Chen Heng's body finally broke away from the corridor and continued to fall downward.
Since there was no light in the corridor just now, he suddenly entered the light zone at this time, and Chen Heng's vision was bound to be affected.
So at the first moment, he had already closed his eyes, his consciousness was raised to the limit, and he felt everything around him.
However, before he could feel anything, he suddenly "plopped" and the whole person had fallen into the water.
Is it still a waterhole?
Chen Heng sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't expect that in the depths of the earth, there was still water, maybe this depth had exceeded the body of Kongsang Mountain, went deep underground, and reached the center of the earth's lake.
However, it is good to use water to stop the fall, but what if the person who is brought down does not understand the nature of water?
"I hope Qin Rui understands a little bit of water!"
Chen Heng opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes were cloudy, and he couldn't see clearly.
This water is really not clean!
With a slight sigh, Chen Heng kicked his feet and swam upwards in an instant.
"Wow!"
In a short time, he had already rushed out of the water, and after a little look, there was a huge stone chamber, and the cave hall was several feet high from here, except for this waterhole, and the ground was flat not far ahead.
Chen Heng let out a low snort, kicked his feet, slapped his hands on the water, and his body quickly got out of the waterhole like an arrow from the string, and fell to the side flat.
"I really don't have to say anything about this luck, I didn't expect to climb the mountain and climb to the ground. ”
"Hopefully, Qin Rui can be safe and sound!"
After all, Qin Rui was a brother in the same sect, and although Chen Heng was wary of him, he never thought of killing him.
But when you get here, no one can help anyone, so let's make sure of our safety first.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng began to take a serious look at this place.
This stone room, except for some luminous beads inlaid around it, was empty, half of the waterhole, and muddy. The other half is flat, and the ground is solid, not much better than stone.
The four sides of the stone chamber are made of the same material as the floor, neat and smooth, and are obviously carefully built by hand.
I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent to build this place in such a deep underground.
There was a circular hole at the top of the chamber, and countless dirt rolled down and fell into the pool below, making the pool even more muddy.
That round hole was the Yongdao that Chen Heng had just fallen.
"No wonder this puddle is so dirty, it is!"
The people who fell here were basically cultivators, and they must have blades with them, so I'm afraid there wasn't anyone who wouldn't have thought of using blades to slow down their fall, right?
So, every time someone falls, there is more mud in the pool, and it is strange that it is not muddy.
Maybe in a few years, more people will come down, and this puddle will have to become a quagmire.
However, Chen Heng didn't care much about these, since there was still ventilation here, there must be a way out, and the small round hole on his head alone was not enough to keep the air so fresh.
Chen Heng turned his head to look around, and finally found a narrow passage at the very edge, that passage was only five feet wide, he was a little far away just now, so he didn't find it.
Looking from the side of the stone chamber, the passage extends forward, only a few dozen zhang away, and then turns to the right, and the back is naturally not visible.
Chen Heng didn't rush to explore the passage, he first took out a Qi Gathering Pill from his arms and swallowed it, adjusting his breath evenly.
Then he took off the clothes on his body, took out the mountain and river pot, poured some water to wash away the mud on his body, and changed his clothes, and the whole person suddenly returned to his original demeanor.
The reason why he had to do this was not because of how much Chen Heng loved cleanliness, but because he needed some time to calm down.
Suddenly encountering a big change, although Chen Heng believed in his own strength, he still felt a little flustered about unknown things, and after doing this, his heart was also settled a lot, and he no longer hesitated and stepped on that channel.
On both sides of the passage, a luminous pearl will be inlaid every three steps, illuminating the entire passage as bright as day.
I don't know how big this underground stone chamber is, and these luminous pearls alone are worth a lot of money.
The passage is long and narrow, and he doesn't know where it leads, every ten zhang distance, Chen Heng has to turn a corner, as if he is in a maze.
But he had already felt it with his mind, this was definitely not a psychedelic formation, even if it was a labyrinth, it was a physical labyrinth.
Luckily, there is only one passage here, and there are no forks in the road, as long as you follow all the way, you will always reach the end.
In this kind of place, Chen Heng was not worried about any ambush, not to mention that the walls here were extremely strong, even if he attacked with Star Tears, he would have to go all out to cut a trace. What's more, if the passage collapses, it will not be good for the owner here.
Since they were brought here, there would always be some purpose, Chen Heng didn't believe that the other party would kill him like this.
I don't know how long I walked, so long that Chen Heng had the illusion that he would never be able to reach the end, but he still didn't find anything else.
At this point, he couldn't even remember how many turns he had made or how far he had walked. It is estimated that this section of the road will add up enough for him to climb Kongsang Mountain once and then come down from it.
Finally, after Chen Heng began to feel numb, the end of the passage was finally no longer a passage, but a stone gate.
The stone door is black, and I don't know what metal it is made of, so it looks extremely heavy.
Just as Chen Heng was pondering how to open it, with a "rumbling" sound, the stone door took the initiative to open.
