Chapter 49: The King

Yuan Ming had no time to think about it at this time, so he could only swim hard, striving to reach the next place where he could breathe before Chen Wan's breath ran out.

Chen Wan also waved her arms to paddle and help move forward quickly.

She took the risk to participate in the trial this time just to be able to further become an inner disciple, and she didn't want to die here like this.

Time passed little by little, and the little breath she had left in her chest and lungs was about to bottom out, and the feeling of suffocation in her chest cavity from the beginning became like it was about to explode.

It's already at the limit, and she can't hold it anymore.

Just when Chen Wan's body had begun to twitch uncontrollably, she found that Yuan Ming was taking her up quickly, and suddenly, she rushed out of the water.

"Hoo ......"

The moment Chen Wan surfaced, the turbid breath in her chest was exhaled, and then she felt a pinprick pain in her lungs, which made her can't help but let out a soft snort.

But then, she took a quick and greedy breath of fresh air.

When she had finally recovered, she looked around, only to see that she was still in the cavern, and not far above her head was a dark dome.

"How far is it from the cavity you said?" Chen Wan took a deep breath and asked.

Yuan Ming's eyes were solemn and he replied, "We have arrived." ”

"It's already there?" Hearing this, Chen Wan was struck by lightning.

"The water in the underground river is so hot that this side is going to be completely submerged." Yuan Ming sighed and said.

In the dark, his gaze fell on Chen Wan, who was clinging to her delicate body, and her hair, which was wet by the river, also stuck to her snow-white cheeks, looking a little embarrassed, but it did not damage her beauty, but it made people feel pity.

But at this moment, Yuan Ming didn't care about pity, what he was thinking in his heart was that it was a matter of life and death, should he leave her alone?

After all, if it were just him, he would definitely be able to swim faster, retain his breath longer, and maybe last until he found the outlet of the Dark River.

At this moment, Chen Wan's palm suddenly rose high, and a ball of fire suddenly lit up in the palm of her palm, and then flew out, rushing straight towards the cave dome.

Yuan Ming just wanted to ask, but suddenly saw that the fireball actually rose higher and higher, all the way into the dome.

In the next moment, his eyes flashed, and a look of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face.

"There's a hole in the dome." Chen Wan exclaimed, her tone full of surprise.

At this moment, the fireball, which had already risen seven or eight feet away, burned violently for a while as if it had hit something, and then went out.

"It's not going to be a dead end, is it?" When Yuan Ming and the others saw this, their hearts sank.

"I'll go up and have a look." Yuan Ming said.

With that, his two toad legs suddenly clamped hard, and a stream of water squeezed out from between his legs, and the rising force suddenly pushed his body, straight out of the water, and crashed into the dome above.

When he rushed into the vertical hole, Yuan Ming propped his hands left and right, and was firmly stuck on the wall of the cave.

He then climbed with his hands and feet and his support on his feet, and soon reached the end of the vertical hole, where the residual warmth of the fireball technique remained.

"How?" Chen Wan asked anxiously below.

There was silence in the dark for a long time, and only then did Yuan Ming's voice come out with some urn sounds: "There is an oblique hole connected, I don't know where it leads?" ”

"Pull me up first, the water level is rising very quickly, and the water is more urgent." Chen Wan said eagerly.

By this time, the water had risen so much that she was no more than three feet away from the dome.

After waiting for a moment, a palm poked out from the vertical hole above and pulled her into the hole.

Yuan Ming crawled carefully in front, and when he reached the end, he turned into the oblique cave and continued to move forward, Chen Wan silently followed behind him, and his heart was full of emotion.

She never imagined that she would experience this with a furry beast slave who had only known him for a long time.

I don't know how long I crawled in the dark and cramped cave, and Yuan Ming in front of me suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Chen Wan's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked.

She was afraid of getting an answer that was a dead end.

"There seems to be a voice up ahead." Yuan Ming lowered his voice and said.

"There is a voice...... Isn't that about to go out? Chen Wan was suddenly overjoyed in her heart, but soon found that Yuan Ming in front of her was a little tense, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Isn't there some danger again?

"How...... What's wrong? Chen Wan couldn't help but lower her voice.

"That voice doesn't feel like it's coming from a human, something isn't quite right, I'll go to the front first, don't rush to follow." Yuan Ming said, withdrew the toad animal skin, put it away, and put it back on the white ape animal skin.

He didn't use his fur technique, but lowered his body and continued to crawl forward.

After a long while, a glimmer of light finally appeared in the darkness ahead, and the entrance to the cave was reached.

Yuan Ming climbed to the entrance of the cave and didn't rush out.

When he looked closely, he saw that the exit was on the wall of another underground cavern, and there was an upside-down stalactite in front of it, which concealed the entrance to the cave, making his position very hidden.

Yuan Ming quietly poked his head out, bypassed the stalactite stalagmite that was hanging down, and looked a little farther away.

At this glance, his eyes widened instantly.

I saw a corner in the cave, a little bit of sky light was reflected from the hole above, reflecting a fairly bright area inside.

In that area, there was a large group of monsters covered in long white hair, with thin arms and black claws, which looked like inhuman beings.

"Man's Ray!" Almost instantly, these two words popped up in Yuan Ming's mind.

He silently counted them, and found that there were as many as seventeen.

However, what puzzled him was that these people were all gathered together at this moment, standing one by one with their hands down, their bodies swaying slightly, like a group of drunk and reckless men, looking very strange.

He knew very little about this thing, so he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only retreat and call Chen Wan over again.

The two of them huddled at the entrance of the cave, looking out.

When she saw this scene, Chen Wan's face also obviously flashed with shock, and then she was confused.

"It can't be, it's impossible......" she murmured softly.

"What can't be?" Yuan Ming immediately asked.

"Judging from the appearance, these guys must be human, yes, but ...... But the human Xiao are all monsters that have no intelligence, no pain, and only know how to fight and devour, even if they treat their own kind, they can't gather together so peacefully. Chen Wan couldn't figure it out.

"They're all gathered here, how are we going to get out?" Yuan Ming was worried about this.

At this moment, Chen Wan's expression changed again, as if she thought of something terrible, and her mouth couldn't help but open slightly.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Ming frowned.

"There is only one ......reason why people can gather and not fight," Chen Wan said in a trembling voice.

When Yuan Ming heard this, his eyes froze, and he also guessed an answer: "What are they controlled by?" ”

"It's the king, the king was born from the gathered human spirits, and only the human spirit king can control these monsters." Chen Wan said.

"The ...... of the Human Xiao King," Yuan Ming muttered.

"Oh no, no, I have to go back to the sect to report quickly." Chen Wan said with an anxious look on her face.

As she spoke, she was about to rush out of the hole.

Yuan Ming hurriedly stopped her and reprimanded in a low voice: "I won't stop you if you want to send you to death, but don't bother me." Is it to feed those monsters when you rush out like this? ”

"You don't understand, if a king is born in the human hall, then there will be a problem in this trial, and many people will die if it is not good." Chen Wan's face turned pale and she struggled.

"Tell me clearly, what the hell is going on?" Yuan Ming grabbed her shoulders and scolded.

The registered disciple of Biluo Cave in front of her obviously rarely faces danger directly, and this kind of panicked behavior at this moment undoubtedly shows her lack of experience, and Yuan Ming can't help but feel disdain.

"This trial is an introductory assessment for our registered disciples, the content is to investigate and kill the killers, and the disciples who perform well may be selected by the elders of each hall to be accepted as inner disciples." Chen Wan was caught by Yuan Ming like this, so she stabilized her mind and explained.

"You said that if there is a human king, there will be problems, what's going on?" Yuan Ming asked.

"The King of Human Xiao, a soul bead was born in his body, so he can control the Human Xiao to act together, his strength is far from being comparable to that of ordinary Human Xiao, all the registered disciples who participated in the trial, at best, at most six or seven layers of Qi refining, and most of them are scattered actions, once they encounter the Human Xiao King with a large number of Human Xiao haunts, they will die." Chen Wan's tone was hurried, with a hint of irrepressible trembling.

When Yuan Ming heard this, he also frowned.

No wonder Chen Wan was so panicked, she couldn't imagine that this trial of their registered disciples would cause large-scale casualties because of the appearance of the Human Xiao King.

"If there is only a single human spirit sporadically, the sect will not care at all, as long as it does not appear to be out of range, it will not deal with it. If there are multiple people who are out of range, the sect will intervene in a timely manner and organize trials like this. But if there is a human king, the level of harm will be doubled, it is already a risk beyond the trial, if you don't let everyone know in time, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the best way to deal with it is to let the elders of the sect deal with it. Chen Wan continued quickly.

Yuan Ming was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a strange sound of "hula".

He hurriedly stretched out his hand to press it to make Chen Wan quiet, and then quietly looked over to the side of the man, and saw a tall white-haired man Xiao jumping down from the place where the sky was leaking from above the cave.

I saw that its body shape and appearance were not much different from those of other human beings, but the hair on its face was sparse and shorter, and the outline of its facial features could be vaguely seen, which was seven points similar to that of ordinary human beings.

The difference is that on each of his two forehead horns, there is a white bony protrusion, less than half an inch, which looks like he has two raised sharp horns.

Although his appearance is ugly, his body is straight, but he inexplicably has the air of a heroic hegemon.

And in his hand, he was carrying a young man in a short red robe.

On the chest of the man's clothes, there was a flame pattern embroidered, and it seemed that it was the same as Chen Wan, and it was from the same Fire Refining Hall.
