Chapter 96: Scarlet Eyes
Guardian Beast Xi was the first to enter the huge cave, and Candle Jiuyou followed.
Ying Zheng and Li Si glanced at each other, and followed into the cave.
As soon as I entered the cave, the light dimmed instantly, and it seemed that all the light was cut off, and I entered a world of complete darkness.
Instinctively reacting, Ying Zheng stopped and carefully probed the front with his toes.
Li Si reached for the torch and wanted to light it to lead the way for Yingzheng.
Candle Jiuyou noticed the situation of the two, and his voice sounded in the cave: "No need to light the fire, I will light you this year." ”
After that, I saw that Candle Jiuyou's body gradually changed color, from dark black, gradually to dark red, and gradually emitted light, and only a few steps away, the cave had already reflected the brilliance.
And what else is it like?
Ying Zheng's mouth opened wide, and even Li Si was stunned.
After a moment of trance, Li Sicai put back the torch and pulled Ying Zheng to follow.
After walking a few quick steps, the two of them came to Candle Jiuyou's side again.
But both of them felt that Candle Jiu's glowing body seemed to be a big circle smaller.
"I don't like fire very much this year, so if you can't light it, don't light it." Candle Jiuyou's voice came.
Ying Zheng looked at Candle Jiuyou's skin, the dark red texture of the whole body gave people a fantasy feeling, and sighed unconsciously: "Senior, this ability is too powerful." ”
Candle Jiuyou said: "It's not a big deal, you listen to the name of this year, it's just instinct." ”
Candle...... Nine Shades ......
Meaning, light up the Nine Shades?
I see.
Ying Zheng curiously touched Candle Jiu's dark red skin with his hand, but the moment he touched it, he immediately retracted his hand.
Thermal?
"When it glows, it's naturally hot, hehe." The voice of the candle nine ghosts.
Ying Zheng touched it, and it naturally knew.
There are really a lot of secrets in this divine beast, I don't know how many secrets there are on that night's body.
With the light, Ying Zheng's sense of fear was greatly reduced, and he looked around the cave.
This cave is semicircular, round at the top and flat at the bottom, and the volume is not small, and a huge body like Candle Jiuyou can easily turn around.
Xi didn't talk to Ying Zheng and Li Si much, the cold body just walked forward, but Candle Jiuyou talked to Ying Zheng from time to time, probably knowing that in Ying Zheng's cognition, there were many incredible things, so he was deliberately dispelling his fears and doubts.
After walking for a long time, I turned a few corners, and came to a karst cave with stalactites and a waterhole on the right.
However, the water on this waterhole is shrouded in mist, and the panoramic view is not clear.
The temperature in this cave is much higher than outside, it seems that the water in this pool is lukewarm, coupled with the heat emitted by Candle Jiuyou, which makes Ying Zheng feel very uncomfortable.
Bypassing the cave, a crack in the mountain appeared in front of me, which was wide enough for Xi and Candle Jiuyu to pass through.
Entering the crack in the mountain, it seems to be a rotating downward passage, and the stone wall is relatively smooth, without any edges and corners, as if it has been polished.
After walking such a long distance, Ying Zheng felt a little exhausted, but he didn't ask for a break, and gritted his teeth and persevered.
After walking for about half an hour, the space became smaller and smaller, and it became more stuffy, Ying Zheng finally couldn't hold on, stopped, squatted on the ground, and gasped.
Xi and Candle Jiuyou knew that the environment here was not as good as the outside, so they also stopped.
"Two seniors, how far is it?" Ying Zheng took a breath and asked.
Xi Ye squatted on the ground and said leisurely: "It's not far away, just take a rest, after you adjust, we will see Your Excellency immediately." ”
"Why is it so hot in here?" Ying Zheng wiped his sweat and said, "Senior Candle, you can recover yourself." ”
Candle Jiuyou's big eyes blinked, and said, "The temperature here is not caused by this year, it's almost hot, so it's getting hotter and hotter." ”
"Fire-eyed?" Ying Zheng's eyes widened and he asked, "What's that?" ”
Xi and Candle Jiuyou looked at each other, and seemed to be a little speechless.
Li Si explained on the side: "Your Majesty, it is said that the entrance to the Nine Shadows is under the Eye of Fire, presumably the predecessor of Jianwei, as the guardian, must be guarding the side of the eye of fire, so if you want to see the predecessor of Jianhui, you must reach the eye of fire." ”
"I see." Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and then his eyes flashed with divine light, "Is it really the entrance to the Nine Shadows?" ”
Li Si nodded and said, "Yes, the so-called fire eye is actually the crater of an underground volcano, and there is rolling lava below, so there is such a high temperature here." ”
A drop of sweat flowed from Ying Zheng's sideburns, I don't know if he was scared or hot: "Enter the entrance of the Nine Shadows...... It's actually a crater? ”
Li Si nodded with a smile and said, "If you want to enter the Nine Shadows, this special passage refers to this Fire Eye, and the Nine Fire Eyes are guarded by nine guardians, and the king already knows where they are." ”
Ying Zheng nodded and stopped asking, as if he was thinking about something.
After resting for a while, Ying Zheng got up and said, "Let's go, I've recovered some of my strength." ”
Both of them stood up, and then walked forward.
After walking some distance, there seemed to be a little light ahead.
Ying Zheng felt hotter, and it seemed that a bead of sweat would fall with every step.
The strange thing is that Li Si is not as hard as Yingzheng, as if there is nothing at all.
The dark red color on Candle Jiuyou's body disappeared, and the surroundings darkened, only the light in front of him remained, but it didn't look dim.
Candle Jiuyou's body no longer dissipated heat, and the temperature around him dropped a lot, but it was still higher than usual.
And the further you go, the hotter it gets, it seems that the fire eye is already very close, and the light should be from the fire eye.
At this time, Candle Jiuyou's body changed again, and I saw that the skin that had returned to gray-black gradually turned blue, giving people a crystal clear feeling, just like the sea water condensed into Candle Jiuyou's flesh and skin.
The temperature around me dropped a lot in an instant.
Ying Zheng was shocked again, this beauty is dazzling, this ability is fascinating.
"Don't be surprised, it's precisely because of this talent that I can go back and forth between Jiuyou and Jiuxiao this year." Candle Jiuyou's voice came.
Thinking that the entrance to the Nine Shadows was a volcanic crater, so it must be related to lava, Ying Zheng seemed to realize the effect of Candle Nine Shadows' talent.
The air was no longer so hot and humid, and Ying Zheng felt much better, so he quickened his pace and followed closely with Xi and Candle Jiuyou.
The light in front of him was getting stronger and stronger, and finally came to the front of the fire eye, and the temperature was surprisingly high, but with Candle Jiuyu on the side, Ying Zheng didn't feel how uncomfortable, but there was a feeling of heat on his face.
It's still a semi-circular space, but it seems to be larger than the one before.
In the middle is a circular platform raised above the ground, and next to it are two stone steps that slope upward. There were only five stone steps, and Xi was the first to go up.
Candle Jiuyou followed, Li Si followed, and Ying Zheng followed last, all of them walked onto the high platform.
Looking into the high platform, the dark red magma is about three zhang away below, and bubbles bubble up from time to time on the surface, like boiling water.
The heat wave came to his face, and it seemed to be able to dry out all the water in his body, and it felt really uncomfortable, Ying Zheng shrank his body back again, and no longer looked at the magma.
"This is the Eye of Fire." The sound of the night.
"It's impossible for ordinary people to come here." Candle Jiuyou added, "This is the entrance to the Nine Shadows. ”
Even if ordinary people get here, what is the use, it is impossible to enter this entrance at all.
Who will jump into this crater?
Ying Zheng couldn't stand the temperature here, so he took the lead and stepped off the high platform, and then sat in a corner and gasped for a few breaths.
The heat of this magma seems to evaporate even the air.
Candle Jiuyou came to Ying Zheng's side to cool down Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng instantly felt a lot better.
Xi also walked over, looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Go and see the honorable, you can see it when you enter the cave in front." ”
The Guardian guards the Eye of Fire, which is naturally nearby.
Ying Zheng stood up, tidied up his clothes, and followed Xi to the entrance of the cave.
In order to cool down Yingzheng, Candle Jiuyou also followed behind, and Li Si didn't follow too closely and kept some distance.
Xi took Yingzheng to stop in front of the entrance of the cave and said, "Your Excellency, they are here." ”
Call...... Call......
Voices came from inside the hole.
Ying Zheng stared at the entrance of the cave and swallowed unconsciously.
At this time, a pair of blood-colored pupils appeared in the entrance of the cave, and in this dark space, it was even more terrifying.
The blood-colored pupils blinked, and a deep voice came from the cave: "Young man, if you are the Heavenly Inheritor, please take out your token." ”
Ying Zheng was a little nervous, and placed the Xuanyuan Sword in front of the entrance of the cave, and also placed the Xuanyuan Conch and the map flat next to him.
After putting it away, Ying Zheng took two steps back, although he was apprehensive, but he still stared at the pair of blood-colored pupils.
Suddenly, a golden ball of light wrapped the Xuanyuan sword, flickering and darkening, and causing the sword body to tremble slightly.
At the moment when Ying Zheng was stunned, a ball of the same golden light also wrapped Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng, who was already nervous, became even more nervous, not knowing what would happen in the next moment.
However, Ying Zheng did not feel uncomfortable, but gradually sensed the connection between Xuanyuan Sword and him, as if this golden light cluster activated Xuanyuan Sword's spirituality.
Sure enough, a beam of golden light was projected towards Ying Zheng from Xuanyuan Sword, which seemed to connect the golden light cluster of Xuanyuan Sword and the light cluster on Ying Zheng's body.
Ying Zheng clearly felt that he had indeed established a connection with Xuanyuan Sword, and it was a very mysterious spiritual connection.
The golden light flashed a few times and vanished.
Ying Zheng didn't know what was going on, and looked at his hands with a look of surprise.
A voice came from inside the entrance of the cave: "It seems that you are really the descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and this Xuanyuan Sword is indeed the Yellow Emperor's thing." The deity is the eye, and the halo just now is just to identify your bloodline, don't be nervous. ”
Ying Zheng's sense of uneasiness was reduced by a few points, and he heard that the voice in the cave was not malicious, and his heart was also settled.
"For some reason, the deity doesn't show up." Jairus said, "You came this time, but you asked for the last Book of Changes?" ”
Ying Zheng settled down and said: "Back to the predecessors, the younger generations came this time, it is precisely this intention, only by putting together the "Book of Changes", can we obtain the real inheritance, and I hope that the predecessors will be fulfilled." ”
The blood-colored eyes narrowed: "Before, you used this last "Book of Changes" to exchange for Tianmu, if it were not for the inheritance of the Heavenly Inheritor, the deity would definitely not easily agree, and now, if you don't have enough chips, the deity will definitely not be exchanged for you." ”
Ying Zheng knew that this would be the case, and he had been prepared before, squatted down to open a package, and then said: "Senior, follow the example of the ancestors and create a golden sword for the seniors, although it is not as good as this Xuanyuan sword, but it is also a little bit of the junior's heart." ”
Ying Zheng pulled out the golden sword he had made, held it in both hands and handed it to the cave.
The blood-colored eyes in the cave seemed to widen a little, and after a moment of silence, a cold voice came: "Your sword-making ability is much worse than your ancestors, and this golden sword has no spirituality at all." ”
Ying Zheng squeezed out a little smile in embarrassment, but his heart was hairy.
I only heard Jairus say again: "This sword you made yourself, you can keep it for yourself, the Xuanyuan sword, it is better to stay here, only that sword can be exchanged for your "Book of Changes". ”
What?
Ying Zheng's eyes widened, and cold sweat flowed down again.
