Chapter 122: Passage
"Step on ...... Step ......"
In the dark and silent passage, there was only the faint footsteps of Lin Chenxing.
"Here ......"
Looking at the four walls of the passage that were completely covered in moss and looked a little slippery, Lin Chenxing's brows furrowed slightly. The passage is round, straight, and leads diagonally to the ground, with no steps, and does not look like a natural formation.
As he progressed, the light coming through the hole quickly dimmed, but with his current eyesight, it didn't affect much for the time being.
After advancing for about twelve or thirteen zhang distance, in the dim light, Lin Chenxing saw a change in the direction of the passage in front of him. The corner junction here is actually an unconventional arc transition, a quarter circle, which changes the direction of the passage by a full ninety degrees, not more than a minute.
Carefully navigating around, he noticed that the area around the passage was no different than before, except that the light had become darker. After a few steps, the passage was completely dark, barely able to see even with his eyesight.
There was no way, Lin Chenxing had to light a torch, and he had prepared these things when he came out before. While there is a good chance that the torches in the darkness will invite danger to him, the darkness itself seems to be more threatening.
A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, half an hour......
Gradually, the monotonous straight passage forked, left, right, up, down, without any regularity. But all the passages, at least those that Lin Chenxing had explored, were all the same regular circles, and the transitions were all standard curve transitions.
"Is it a labyrinth?"
"Who would build such a labyrinth in this swamp? That seems a bit simple! ”
While paying attention to the movements around him, Lin Chenxing was figuring out the possible truth in his heart.
This place is certainly not a natural formation, but if it is some kind of labyrinth of man-made creation, it seems to be ...... It's so easy!
Although all the channels are the same size and size, making it difficult for people to identify, the layout is really a bit simple, and anyone with a little brain can go back the way they came.
With doubts in his heart, Lin Chenxing continued to move forward. He hadn't forgotten his original purpose for coming here, the Centennial Toad. But the question is, it's been around here for more than an hour, dangerous? No! Beasts? No! I haven't even seen a single hair in the spirit toad clothes!
"No, what did I ignore......" Lin Chenxing suddenly stopped, moved the torch in his hand towards the wall of the passage a few points, and after looking at it carefully, he changed several places one after another, and then cold sweat began to soak out of his head.
"What's wrong here?"
Lin Chenxing's brows furrowed, he didn't dare to move forward easily, and he didn't dare to retreat. He remembered that something was wrong.
Ever since he entered the cave, he had been heading underground, and he remembered that very well. It may be confusing to turn around in circles and dizzy in the left and right directions, but it is always possible to go up and down.
It is conservatively estimated that his current position is at least ten feet underground, but the torch in his hand is still burning strongly, and he has no problem breathing on his own. This shows that the air circulation in the passage is very smooth, so there must be more than one exit for him to enter, there are snakes, insects, rats and ants in this fog swamp, there are many insects of all sizes like cow hair, it makes no sense that there is not even one in this passage.
Although the blue-eyed toad is a toad, it has no appetite for these small insects, and it is impossible that it catches the pests cleanly. Moreover, so far, he has not seen any traces of blue-eyed toads here.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the sound of breaking wind came from behind, and the long sword in Lin Chenxing's hand turned sharply and slashed out.
"Bell!"
The long sword trembled, and the force from it made his feet slide out more than a foot uncontrollably, and his chest was also faintly painful because of this sudden force.
Lin Chenxing cautiously looked around, and seeing that there was no movement, he took a few steps forward with a torch and found the culprit who attacked him just now.
"It's ...... Spur? ”
Looking at the gray-white object in his hand that was less than an inch and only the thickness of chopsticks, Lin Chenxing was a little unsure. This thing should be the exoskeleton of some kind of creature in terms of texture and weight. However, his limited knowledge base did not record what kind of beast's attack was this.
Flipping his hand to put away this bone spur, Lin Chenxing carefully paid attention to the movements around him, preventing the unknown beast from attacking again.
"Left!"
Suddenly, Lin Chenxing was keenly aware of the slight movement from the position three zhang away on his left, and he tapped under his feet and met it at an extremely fast speed.
With all his might, he swung his sword and slammed into the bone spurs that shot at him, and at the same time, he threw the torch in his left hand in that direction.
The sneak attacker obviously didn't expect Lin Chenxing to throw the only light source in his hand over, and his reaction was half a beat slower. This slow half beat is enough for it to expose itself to the light of the torch and take on its original form!
It was a fist-sized, furry, grotesque beast hanging from the side wall of the passage.
At the moment when the figure of this unknown fierce beast appeared, Lin Chenxing, who had been prepared for a long time, had already removed the huge impact brought to him by the bone stimulation shot. His figure shot out, stabbing his sword with all his might.
"Squeak!"
A high-pitched, short cry rang out in the empty passageway, echoing one after another.
"Did you escape?"
Picking up the torch that had fallen to the ground, Lin Chenxing looked at the purple-black blood stains left on the tip of the sword, and regretted it. With the action just now, he had already taken out all the strength he could exert at this time, but he still let the little beast escape.
"What the hell is it? It looks a bit like some kind of spider, but the lush fur is ......."
Although he had seen the true face of the fierce beast at this moment, Lin Chenxing still couldn't confirm what kind of fierce beast it belonged to, and what means it had. Judging from the strength, this little beast still belongs to the first-order fierce beast, but it should belong to the late first-order stage, and its strength is comparable to that of a martial artist who has just entered the transformation strength, but he is sure that there is no such existence among the first-order fierce beasts recorded in the books of the Qingyang Sect.
"Is it another beast endemic to the Fogmarsh?" Lin Chenxing secretly guessed. Previously, the blue-eyed toad was only present in this Fog Swamp, and now he had encountered a ferocious beast that was also very likely to be unique to the Fog Swamp. What's the secret here?
"It seems that there are no fierce beasts here, but they are all extremely good at hiding themselves with the help of darkness."
"Whoosh!"
"Dare to come?"
Hearing the sound of breaking wind again, Lin Chenxing met the torch in his left hand and the long sword in his right hand again, preparing to repeat his old tricks.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
However, just as he had just parried the bone spurs from the front, and before he could throw the torch in his hand again to illuminate the culprit's figure, a series of breaking winds came from all around him, bringing a chill and making his face change greatly.
Just one is already hard to deal with, and now this is a group?
"Damn, this is still a group?"
There was only time for this thought to flash through his mind, and Lin Chenxing had to deal with this wave of attacks with all his might. At this time, he can't care about the injuries that have not yet recovered, and it is important to save his life first!
"Bell!"
"Bell!"
The power attached to each of these bone spurs was equivalent to about ninety percent of Lin Chenxing's strength, which was far beyond the attack power of ordinary dark strength peak martial artists. At this moment, if it were other Dark Power Peak Martial Artists here, I am afraid that they would not be able to block even a single blow.
With preparation, and with all his strength regardless of the injury, Lin Chenxing would not be directly shocked back by the power on the bone spur like the first time, but he was not easy either. As the number of bone spurs in the attack increased, he eventually missed.
"Poof"
"Poof, poof!"
"Poof, poof, poof!"
The sound of dense bone piercing into the flesh sounded, and immediately, Lin Chenxing felt a fainting, and his body fell softly.
"There are still poisonous ......"
What kind of player is this? Strong single strength, long-range attack, group living, and highly poisonous?
