Chapter 367: Rescue
Lynn's delay in returning made the cardinal's good mood for the past two days worse.
Since the abandoned Screaming Cave has been sealed for several years, and it is also a forbidden place for the violent search and capture group, it should not be dangerous. Although there was a strange scream, the cardinal only thought that there was no doubt that some demonic beast with spiritual attack ability had come in, and he didn't care too much.
As a seventh-order priest and has his own blessing holy art, even if he can't beat it, it should always be no problem to retreat with his whole body, right?
That's why he named Lynn when considering who to lead the team to explore. But now half a day has passed, and Lynn has never returned, and the mournful sound in the cave is still there. What this means, the cardinal doesn't have to think about to know. However, as a descendant of the ten giants of the Apocalypse Sect, she should have a certain means of saving her life in her hands, why couldn't she escape?
This doubt made the cardinal a little uneasy.
Knowing this, he sent someone else. As soon as he thought of the dissatisfaction of the ten giants that Lynn hung up, the cardinal couldn't sit still. Although the henchman next to him still had a little luck, he felt that Xu is Lynn had encountered some trouble, and he could wait. But after hesitating for a second, the cardinal resolutely rejected his opinion and began to organize rescue manpower.
But who should we send?
The magical beasts that could leave Lynn and several other companions behind would have to be at least the eighth order, and there might be more than one of them. Therefore, the strong person who leads the team must have ninth-order strength, so that it can be safe. Otherwise, in less than half a day, maybe he will have to organize a second wave of rescue. After considering the several ninth-order powerhouses currently stationed on Sanfan Street on the coast one by one, the cardinal named Jiang Xingquan's name.
This ninth-order powerhouse is the one who is better with the Yue family among the ten wealthy families.
Because human life is at stake, Jiang Xingquan did not hesitate after being informed of the incident of Lynn and the Sorrowful Cave, and immediately prepared to set off. At this time, Lu Chengfeng and Yue Mingxuan walked back from outside and were further inquiring about relevant news. Jiang Xingquan thought about it, and called Yue Mingxuan.
This operation, if Lynn is dead, is at most a trip for nothing. But if it is successfully saved, it will be a great achievement, plus the gratitude of another ten wealthy families. Yue Mingxuan followed the expedition, and he, as an elder, naturally had to carry it. This mission took him over, and presumably the Yue family would also accept their love.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xingquan couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
As Yue Mingxuan's friends, they happened to walk together, and Lu Chengfeng, who had nothing to do, followed cheekily.
Probably because he was very confident in his own strength, Jiang Xingquan consciously went out in person, and there was no need to ask for others, so only three of them set off. Along the green capital all the way to the north, when approaching the city gate, Lu Chengfeng obviously felt that the people's hearts were already floating here, and many of them had temporarily fled to the southern city district.
The Apocalypse Order has also placed many priests here to maintain the once deteriorated order.
As a ninth-order master, Jiang Xingquan undoubtedly had a high reputation among the priests. Seeing that he was leading the team, there was naturally a priest to guide them all the way and lead them to the location of the Cave of Sorrows.
Before, in the city, the three of them did not hear the strange screams that hurt more than a thousand people. But not long after leaving the north gate, Lu Chengfeng clearly heard the poignant and weird rustling sound. It's like someone is pinching their throats and screaming, and it's like some vicious monster devouring something. Moreover, this sound is transmitted through spiritual power, and it is useless to cover your ears. People who are weak and undetermined can easily be affected and lose their minds!
As a high-level priest, whether it is Yue Mingxuan or Jiang Xingquan, they are all people who are as firm as a rock in their hearts, so they will naturally not be affected by this. Not to mention Lu Chengfeng, although this mournful sound is indeed irritating, but his soul is the ninth order before rebirth, and he was born from the lightsaber royal family, so it is not a problem to fight against this sound invasion.
Even if he walked all the way to the entrance of the Screaming Cave, Lu Chengfeng's face was as usual, which made Jiang Xingquan, who inadvertently glanced back, a little curious.
"This is it. ”
The priest who led the way led the three of them to this remote cave in the northwest corner of the green capital. Probably because the cave had some thoughts, it looked like it was covered with moss, and there were a lot of withered yellow rattans hanging from the cave. On the ground outside the cave, you can clearly see the traces left by the inscription rune array. It's just that I don't know why, this former barrier has been completely destroyed.
Probably worried that the monsters inside would come out, there was already a small team of priests guarding here at the moment. As soon as something unusual happens, they will immediately send out a special warning signal.
"May the breath of the Holy Light surround you!"
Seeing Jiang Xingquan in person, these priests in charge of guarding were obviously a little excited, and took the initiative to come forward to salute.
Jiang Xingquan nodded, replied with a kind face, and then asked, "Miss Lynn and a few of her companions have no news yet?"
One of the clerics, probably the captain, stepped forward and said with a worried face, "We've been staying here and haven't seen her come out." On the contrary, the breath coming out of it seems to be getting stronger and stronger. ”
Although his answer was already expected by Jiang Xingquan, Jiang Xingquan's heart was still a little anxious after confirming that Lynn did not come out. After glancing back at Lu Chengfeng and Yue Mingxuan, he carefully admonished a few words and strode into the Cave of Sorrow.
Lu Chengfeng no longer hesitated and quickly followed.
The moment you step into the Cave of Sorrow, the original world seems to suddenly become quiet and deep, and there is an indescribable cold atmosphere around you. The mournful sound that could still be heard very clearly outside the cave seemed to disappear in this dark passage. The three of them cautiously walked forward for about thirty steps, and the originally narrow passage widened sharply, revealing the lineup of the Screaming Cave.
Almost at the same time, the sound of the real wave struck like a tidal wave!
The screams that had briefly disappeared in the corridor suddenly reappeared after the three of them officially entered the Screaming Cave, and the noise and irritability increased tenfold. Reflections from the caves on both sides made the screams cascade, as if there were countless ferocious beasts and dying people swapping around. In just a second, Yue Mingxuan's face showed an uncomfortable look.
Lu Chengfeng was also hit by the sudden scream, and his spirit was in a trance for a short time, and then he forcibly stabilized his mind.
"What a powerful voice!"
Jiang Xingquan, who was at the forefront and had a ninth-order strength, was undoubtedly the most affected by the screams. Although he didn't show any discomfort, his eyes suddenly became serious.
This cave has quirkiness!
Probably because of the reflection of the cave wall, or maybe because the three of them gradually got used to it, the irritating scream seemed to be quiet for a few seconds, occasionally sounding one or two, and the tone was much lower. But before Yue Mingxuan could breathe a sigh of relief, the mournful roar of the sea tide sounded again, and it became louder and louder, higher and higher, as if with the deepest malice and pain, it wanted to drown them out.
Jiang Xingquan's face was really embarrassed now. The holy power on his body surged, and suddenly the light shone brightly, opening a holy light enchantment. This bright and righteous holy light dispelled the darkness and made the screams much quieter, but it was still not enough to completely suppress them.
Seeing this, Lu Chengfeng also urged the fighting spirit and opened the ice and snow unique to the Infinite Frost Jue!
With Lu Chengfeng as the center, the ground under his feet was first covered with ice and snow. In the blink of an eye, the white ice and snow quickly spread into the distance, completely enveloping the three of them within twenty meters. Then, the cold wind blew up, and the snowflakes began to fall on the heads of the three of them.
Although Lu Chengfeng is still only the seventh order, this ice and snow is the prototype of the super exercise realm after all, and it can interfere with reality. It opened in the ice and snow, and with the smaller layer of holy light enchantment inside, the double protection finally completely suppressed the tidal roar.
Not only that, but the small world of ice and snow also blocked the evil coldness in the cave.
Yue Mingxuan's face immediately turned rosy.
Feeling the changes around him, Jiang Xingquan was first taken aback, and then looked at this unique ice and snow with interest. At first, he was skeptical that it was a particularly realistic fantasy. After all, interfering with such a large area of reality with the strength of the seventh order had never been heard of before. However, when the first snowflake was caught in his hand, Jiang Xingquan knew that this ice and snow that stretched for dozens of meters was real!
This month, Mingxuan's friend is a bit powerful.
If it weren't for the safety of Lynn, Jiang Xingquan, who was happy to see the hunt, couldn't wait to study Lu Chengfeng's stunt now. It's a pity that there is really no time to waste, so he can only nod approvingly to Lu Chengfeng, and then move on.
Before entering, the three of them had guessed the size of the Screaming Cave. But when they actually entered, they found that this mysterious cave was far bigger and wider than they had imagined. Moreover, there was an unsettling aura in the cave, as if there was some mortal danger hidden in the darkness in the distance, and as if some terrifying monster had opened its mouth, waiting for them to come in on its own initiative.
Under the illumination of Jiang Xingquan's holy light enchantment, in the darkness in the distance, there were vaguely strange shadows.
The three of them thought they had found an enemy, but when they actually walked in, they found that it was a strange stone that already existed in the cave. After a false alarm, Jiang Xingquan was about to move on, but Lu Chengfeng turned around, but saw traces of human excavation on the side, and it was obviously very new, which was only available in the past few days.
This information immediately made Jiang Xingquan pay attention to it. From what he knew about Lynn, she and a few of her men probably wouldn't be digging around with shovels. Before that, the cave had been sealed off for years, and no one else could have been. Doesn't that mean...... In the past few days, someone else has actually been to the Cave of Sorrow!
