Chapter Seventy-One: The Snake Vein Behemoth
Although Jiang Chengcheng ordered to wait for the night, there were many young people in these Shumen disciples, and they couldn't bear it at all, so they simply didn't sleep all night, and all of them sat cross-legged near the mine to meditate, planning to stay overnight. This can make him helpless, this time with the Dongxu Mansion, almost the eighty catties of spirit stones have been consumed, he urgently needs to find a reason to go deep into the mine alone, and use the Pisces jade pendant to copy some out, in order to solve the urgent need.
It's a pity that now that these disciples have become a human wall, it seems that there is no chance, so he has no choice but to give up.
On the second day, the sun rose in the east, the sky was warm and the sun was warm, the weather was good, there were birds chirping in the forest, and all the Shumen disciples ran to block his door, asking, "Sect Master, can I go down to the mine today?" ”
Jiang Chengyun touched his chin and nodded, "It's okay!" ”
"Thank you, Sect Master!" Everyone said excitedly, and it seemed that they wanted to turn around and run into the mine.
"Still." He changed his words and continued: "You have to do the second batch of mines, Ling Lu and I have to take the lead, there is danger, we will face it first." ”
"No!" Liu Mingde immediately stood up and retorted: "Sect Master, I have no opinion on zero exposure, but you can't, although you are a natural asset, after all, your cultivation is still shallow, and you can't take risks." ”
"That's right." Liu Mingyi also chimed in: "Sect Master, let me go!" ”
"No, I can only go down this mine." Jiang Chengyun shook his head and said: "I have read in the tomb scriptures, all snake veins are spiritual, they could have quietly waited for the birth of heaven and earth under the earth, and slowly turned into dragon veins, so as to soar into the sky, but usually due to various accidents, the process of birth and cultivation of this heaven and earth is interrupted, such as the collapse of mountains and rivers, the diversion of rivers, and even the change of stars will affect this process." As a result, the holy serpent spirit will become angry, just as a human being who has died a tragic death has become an evil spirit. ”
Jiang Chengyun waved his hand and said: "This kind of evil spirit can't be solved by cultivation, and can only use the methods in the tomb scripture, so the best plan is for me and Zero to go down, and you wait patiently." ”
Liu Mingde wanted to say something to dissuade him, but he was stopped by Jiang Chengyun reaching out, he was an undoubted person, and everyone understood his attitude towards life, so the disciples had to nod and agree with a worried heart.
Ling Lu would not persuade Jiang Chengyun, she would only take out the Great Dao Glass Blade from her arms, and asked silently, "When will you leave?" ”
Jiang Chengyun smiled and said, "Now! ”
The two of them walked one after the other, slowly walked towards the dark cave, although the evil qi was dissipated, but this huge cave was still seeping, Jiang Chengchan, who was one meter eighty-two, stood in front of it, like a tiny cat standing in front of a palace gate, this majestic hole, the bottomless darkness, and the melting cave wall next to it, are a little chilling.
Mingde stood at the entrance of the cave with a worried face on his face, watching the backs of the two slowly disappear into darkness.
As the depth of the cave, the temperature in the cave plummeted, and the light slowly disappeared, Jiang Chengcheng lit up the mine cave, illuminating the road ahead, this mine road is oblique downward, equivalent to a slope, the end leads to the depths of the leyline, the ground is potholed, all of them are formed by crystallization after the solidification of the black liquid, which is very solid, which is the product of melting the rock.
"Be sure to follow me." Jiang Chengyun carefully tugged on Ling Lu's arm and asked, "Is it true that you said last time you saw a wriggling black snake?" ”
Linglu was a little speechless, who should follow whom? She unleashed a majestic divine power and turned into a blue barrier, enveloping the two of them, although the evil aura here disappeared, it was better to be careful.
"I did see a black snake with my own eyes, several feet thick, comparable to three stories high, the length is difficult to calculate, it is squirming gently, as if it is breathing."
Jiang Chengyun didn't think that Ling Lu would lie, but he still spoke: "Such a giant snake is very difficult to exist biologically, and with such a large size, its weight will crush the bones of the whole body. ”
"You don't look at living things with modern eyes." Ling Lu shook his head and said, "As a college student, do you begin to believe that humans can increase the density of their bodies several times and resist bullets?" ”
"That's just as well." Jiang Chengyun smiled. Indeed, a monk can increase the density and strength of his body through cultivation, making it indestructible, comparable to steel, such a big snake must be a demon beast, and his cultivation is so high that his body has already been strengthened to a level against the sky, how can it be restricted by weight?
The two of them dived all the way and walked seven or eight hundred meters, during which a low roar came from the depths of the leyline, and this time the sound was exceptionally clear, like a beast crawling in the ears and roaring, very infiltrating. Jiang Chengyun was a little skeptical that there was really an ancient giant beast hidden in the depths of the earth.
In the end, the two of them went down the slope for a distance of thousands of meters, and they came to the end of the road, where there was a black hole, which led vertically to the depths of the ground, Jiang Chengzhi pouted two glow sticks and threw them down, and the green fluorescence fell like flying insects, but the illumination rate of this thing was too low, and the dark environment could not be seen at all, but this thing fell for dozens of seconds before falling to the ground.
Jiang Chengyun quickly made a judgment and said, "This cave is still seven or eight hundred meters away from the real underground formation. ”
Zero Lu nodded, walked to his side, spread her palm, and condensed a blue ball of light, this thing was very bright, like a searchlight, illuminating the entire cave as if it were day, she shook her hand and threw the ball of light down.
"Damn, you didn't use this trick earlier!"
Jiang Chengyun complained, he stared intently at the falling ball of light, which illuminated the surrounding scenery, this black hole was a black tunnel, about a zhang in diameter, straight down. When the ball of light descended deep into the tunnel, it illuminated a strange world, an empty land, an underground world full of ore, but it was clear that there were no giant snakes in sight.
"Can you take me down and fly up again?" Jiang Chengyun asked.
"Yes, it's just a lot of divine power."
Ling Lu stretched out her hand and grabbed Jiang Chengyu's wrist, her whole body was on fire, burning terrifying fluctuations of divine power, and the huge blue light enveloped her whole body, and even her hair was blooming with blue light. With a thud, she pulled him up and fell into the depths of the mine.
Falling from a height of nearly a kilometer, Jiang Chengzhi was not dead but also disabled, during which the divine power released by Zero Dew kept exerting a reaction force on them, ensuring that the landing speed of the two people would not be too fast.
Half a minute later, the two of them fell steadily, and it was dark as far as the eye could see, and it was so quiet that you could hear the heartbeat of two people. Zero Dew once again unleashed a ball of divine light, illuminating the dark underground world like a lamp.
This is a huge underground cave, extremely empty, covering a huge area, with many thick stone pillars standing up in the sky, the shape of stalactites, the surface has the same lines as flowing water, very similar to the formation of sedimentation. There are many large rocks underground, some of which are larger than people, but in this cave, they are as small as gravel on the side of the road.
There is nothing strange here, there is no so-called giant snake, there is no source of the formation of evil energy, this is a very strange phenomenon, the evil energy on the ground is so thick that even the rocks can melt, and everything is normal here, which does not make sense. Jiang Chengcheng casually smashed a few boulders, and found some brass and iron, which had not been refined at that time, but only ores containing some metals, and the two walked a few more steps and found some broken stone pillars, which had collapsed.
He lit the miner's lamp, and the bright pillar of light shone into the depths of the cave, which was still a bottomless tunnel, with no light to see or wind to feel, and it was probably a dead end. Jiang Chengyun couldn't help but joke: "Zero Lu, did the big snake you said get into this hole?" ”
Before the words fell, he felt a slight vibration, and Ling Lu directly changed color, her spiritual sense far surpassed Jiang Chengyu, and she sensed that something very large was slowly approaching here.
"Let's go!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Lu grabbed Jiang Chengyun, and flew directly to the corner of the cave with a divine rainbow, she took out the Great Dao Glass Blade, and the whole person became highly nervous, and she whispered: "Stop any operation of qi and blood, and suppress the vitality to the minimum." ”
After she finished speaking, she extinguished all the divine power light on her body, and the whole person became quiet and abnormal, Jiang Chengyun could clearly perceive that her breathing was almost gone, and even the beating of her heart was almost gone. He also quickly adjusted his body and suppressed his life force.
For about a minute, the two of them felt a noticeable shaking of the ground, and the small stones on the ground were trembling slightly, as if they were about to earthquake, but this was not a reaction to the earthquake, but a large object moving. The two of them hid behind the rocks, secretly observing the dark cavern.
After a while, a scarlet flesh-colored object appeared there, it trembled back and forth, swaying slowly, and had two long strip-shaped heads, which looked very weird, just when Jiang Chengcheng was wondering what this thing was, a huge snake head larger than a truck appeared, and the scarlet flesh-colored object turned out to be the tongue of the giant snake, which was the snake hyacinth.
"Oh my God, there's such a giant snake." Jiang Chengyun was dumbfounded, and his heart was in an uproar, he always thought that although Ling Lu was not lying, he must have seen it wrong, it was just an illusion, and he didn't think that there was really such a big giant snake.
The giant snake spit out the letter, slowly squirmed its body, and slowly crawled forward, this snake is too big, every scale on the snake's head is as big as a pot lid, exuding a cold metallic color, like a steel helmet, in the dark, flashing two yellow and clear vertical pupils, this is the eyes of the giant snake, just a glance, can make people fall into extreme fear.
"Bang! Syllable! ”
The sound of the stone pillar collapsing sounded in the cave, the body of the giant snake was too big, even if it crawled so slowly, it still collapsed some stone pillars, the boulder rolled down, setting off a puff of smoke, the giant snake spit out the letter, and suddenly looked up at the sky, it was a tunnel leading to the ground, it slowly used its body to slowly raise its huge head, the snake stood up, and blocked the tunnel with its head.
"Roaring ......"
A familiar roaring sound sounded, it turned out that this was not the sound of the formation squeezing, but really the sound of the roar of the giant beast, Jiang Chengyun was shocked by this sound wave, and his eyes began to roll uncontrollably, he was not afraid, but his cultivation was too low, and he would be naturally afraid when he encountered this kind of thing, seeing this, Linglu quickly stretched out his right hand and put it on his forehead, showing a trace of divine power, helping him stabilize his soul, otherwise he would become an idiot.
The roar slowly disappeared, and Jiang Chengchan's state slowly returned to normal, he shook his head, feeling a little nauseous.
"It's spewing gas." Linglu whispered, and the giant snake blocked its head at the entrance of the cave, and spewed a thin red gas into the ground.
"I see, everything makes sense." Jiang Chengyun was shocked when he saw it, the lung capacity of this giant snake was really terrifying, and it could spew out evil qi for months without stopping at all.
"No, it's not a living snake." Ling Lu suddenly said with some excitement: "Look, part of its body is stone!" ”
