Chapter 190: Hitting a Wall
Looking at Xu Chen's action, Qin Zhao and several men were immediately stunned.
They had never seen anyone walk directly in the air like this, so they screamed together as if they had seen a ghost.
"Pragutuaga!"
Feng Feiyi shouted loudly at several men, and seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and led Xu Chen straight into the cave.
Feng Zhao and a few other tall and powerful doormen were stunned for a moment, and they also hurriedly followed, surrounding Xu Chen and the others in front and back.
Entering the cave is a roadway dug out by hand, about one zhang high.
Xu Chen felt very empty when he walked inside, but for Feng Feiyi and Feng Zhao and the others, they only barely passed, although they were not so bent on their waists, they could reach the top wall with their hands.
Walking in the middle of such a group of tall and mighty people, Xu Chen felt a lot of pressure.
Because in addition to the wind flying clothes, several strong divine soul breaths have always fallen on him, as if they want to see him inside and out.
Although Xu Chen didn't want to fight back, he didn't want to be observed like a monster, so he always released his body protection vitality to block these divine soul breaths.
Maybe it was because Xu Chen had a little deterrence in a few steps in the air, and Feng Zhao and the others did not have the unscrupulous hostility they had at the beginning, but they were still very vigilant and firmly surrounded Xu Chen in the middle.
In this way, under the escort of a group of people, Xu Chen followed Feng Feiyi and walked along the alleyway for about half a pillar of incense with one foot in the middle of the road, and a huge grotto hall appeared in front of him.
At first glance, the hall was artificially excavated, and the stone wall knives around it were generally very neat, and there were glowing stones inlaid everywhere, and what made Xu Chen even more surprised was that the black qi in this hall was very thin, if it wasn't for the divine consciousness being strong enough, it would be almost impossible to feel the existence of the black qi.
Even he could feel a trace of long-lost warmth, although it was not as good as the mortal world, but for this cold and dark place, it was like a blessed land.
There were many people in the hall, men, women, and children, but with the exception of a few, most of them did not wear the same armor as a tight leather coat, but wore simple clothing, and some even surrounded a piece of animal skin.
These people look similar to Feng Feiyi, with red hair and some weird red patterns on their faces.
Seeing Xu Chen and Feng Feiyi, there was an exclamation and commotion in the cave in an instant, some women were protecting their children to hide everywhere, but a few sturdy men and women surrounded Feng Feiyi with excited faces to greet Feng Feiyi.
One of the men, Xu Chen, was slightly familiar, it was the guy who appeared with Feng Feiyi not long ago, and then fled alone.
Feng Feiyi was not dissatisfied, but he was also very surprised to communicate with these people, and it is estimated that he also said a lot of things about Xu Chen, and the commotion in the cave was even greater, and many people showed disbelief on their faces, and some of them went straight to another alley on the side of the hall.
"He went to find the patriarch and elders, don't be nervous!" Feng Feiyi sent a reminder.
Xu Chen nodded slightly.
He couldn't say he wasn't nervous, and he now felt like a little white rabbit entering a wolf's den.
There were vigilant eyes all around, and a powerful divine aura enveloped him like a flood, observing unscrupulously.
Of course, Xu Chen was also observing these people.
Being able to survive in this dark desolation, these human beings are no longer real human beings, except for their appearance and body shape, which are quite normal and barely acceptable, in fact, they have undergone huge mutations from the soul to the body, and there is no human breath at all.
Even if these people were just children who could just walk, they all exuded divine soul fluctuations that were not weaker than those of first-order soul beasts.
And all adults, the Divine Soul Aura is even stronger, both men and women have a Divine Soul Strength that is not weaker than that of the second-order soul beasts, and many of them are stronger, which can compete with the third-order soul beasts.
Just as the two sides were observing each other, suddenly a very strong divine aura swept from the depths of the hall and landed on Xu Chen.
Xu Chen's face changed slightly, and he felt that the blue light treasure bottle in the sea of knowledge shook slightly, and a faint blue light appeared around him.
This aura was not weaker than the strength of that octopus beast.
Although it was just a simple temptation, it easily broke through the barrier of his protective vitality.
However, Xu Chen knew that this might be the observation of the so-called patriarch or elder, so he didn't make a stronger defense, just let this aura observe him.
A moment later, with the sound of hurried footsteps, two old men with yellow hair strode out of the side alley, surrounded by several young men and women, and were talking loudly and scolding from a distance.
The onlookers began to retreat, and soon, a group of people walked up to Xu Chen.
Feng Feiyi hurriedly stepped forward to explain, and even took out the porcelain cup given by Xu Chen.
The two old men had cold and serious faces, while listening to Feng Feiyi's explanation, they gathered together to look at the porcelain cup, and slowly showed a shocked look on their faces, and then they began to ask continuously, and Feng Feiyi kept explaining, and every time they answered, the expressions on the faces of the two old men were even more surprised, and the onlookers around them also kept exclaiming and making noise.
It seems that Xu Chen's origin and identity are too unbelievable for them to understand and accept.
However, Xu Chen couldn't understand a word of these people's conversations, so he could only stand in the middle and continue to be watched like a monster.
"You say you're from the mortal realm, but what proof do you have?"
Suddenly, a dry and cold old voice sounded in Xu Chen's mind.
It seems that Feng Feiyi's explanation made the old man not satisfied, so he directly used the simplest way of communicating with the spirit.
Xu Chen's divine sense fell on the two old men, and the divine sense transmitted: "I am indeed from the mortal realm, but I don't know what kind of evidence you want?" ”
One of the old men looked at Xu Chen with a serious face, and said, "Any evidence is fine, because we have been living in the Underworld and have never heard of anyone from the mortal realm coming here, and such an item alone cannot prove your identity and origin." ”
Xu Chen turned over his hand and took out a ceramic teapot and said: "This is what we use to drink water in the mortal world, it is called a teapot, and this cup is a matching tea set, I don't know if this is considered evidence?" ”
The old man took the teapot and looked through it carefully, and then handed it to another old man next to him to watch, and the two exchanged a few words in a low voice, and one of them shook his head and said: "These two things of yours are indeed very weird, but there is no breath, we can't tell the difference, and we also have drinking water utensils, although they are not as good-looking as you, but they also have the same function." ”
Xu Chen thought about it, turned over his hand and took out a second-order elixir and said, "What about this?" ”
Looking at this verdant and turquoise bamboo and exuding a strange plant, the onlookers suddenly burst into a more violent exclamation and commotion, and the faces of the two old men also showed surprise almost at the same time, one of them reached out and took the elixir to observe carefully, the more he looked at his face, the more shocked he became, and then said: "This thing is indeed strange, it doesn't look like a desolate thing, but it's not enough." ”
Xu Chen suddenly said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "I was just unintentionally swept into the underworld by the underworld beast, and it is impossible to bring more things with me, by the way, my storage magic weapon is different from you......"
Xu Chen said as he took off the storage bag hanging from his waist.
At this time, his clothes were tattered and he looked dusty, and there didn't seem to be anything unusual about the gray nature of this storage bag, but this man-made object was obviously very different from the desolate things.
The two old men took the storage bag and started a new round of observation and communication, and finally Xu Chen took out a bunch of pots and pans, as well as a bag of flour and a bucket of water in front of everyone, and everyone had to believe it.
And after believing it, everyone was amazed, but at the same time, there was a lot more contempt, and the previous nervous hostility was mostly less.
Although the things Xu Chen took out were all strange, they didn't have any aura fluctuations, and they didn't look like good things.
The two old men were also relieved, and the divine soul aura that had been pressing on Xu Chen's body was also retracted, and one of them said with a very strange face:
"I didn't expect the mortal world to be so backward, there are countless spiritual things in the mortal world in ancient times, there are a large number of powerful and powerful people, and they can destroy the world with a raise of their hands, but I don't see anything strange from you, but your courage and ability seem to be good, you can live alone for so long in the underworld, and save the people of our tribe, but if you want to return to the mortal world, we may not be able to do anything, because the road between the mortal world and the underworld has long been broken, if it is really enough to go back, We don't have to be trapped here and suffer, the underworld is not suitable for us humans to live at all, you can also see, now we can only hide in this kind of underground life, food is getting less and less, reproduction is becoming more and more difficult, and the devil knows how long it can last. ”
The old man's words made all the onlookers around him feel down, and the voices of ridicule and ridicule were mostly reduced.
Although Xu Chen had a sense of kinship, he knew that now was not the time to be sad and merciful, let alone expose too many real treasures, so he could only give up his hand and ask with a serious face:
"Feng Feiyi has already told me about these journeys, but I'm afraid I can't adapt to the breath and food of the desolation, if I don't find my way back, maybe I won't last long and die, I hope the patriarch and elders can allow me to go to your ancestral temple to see if I can get some clues to go back."
An old man shook his head and said, "Although we also sympathize with your plight, the ancestral temple is our holy place, and no outsiders can enter it except for the people of the Kaifeng clan, and the things in the ancestral temple are very simple, and there are no clues about the passage, even if you go to see it, it will be useless." ”
Xu Chen said helplessly: "I have no way out now, for the sake of everyone being a human race, please also ask the patriarch and the elders to be accommodating, in addition, the passage has always existed, now the netherworld qi has been sprayed into the mortal realm through the rift between the two worlds, and a large number of nether beasts have also begun to wreak havoc in the mortal realm, as long as I find even a trace of clues about the nether rift, I still have hope of living, as long as you allow me to go to the ancestral temple, whether I find a clue or not, I will give you some gifts, including this teapot, and some food and water, And if you find the elixir useful, I have a few more ......."
However, despite Xu Chen's promise, the two old men just shook their heads and refused to let go at all.
