"I didn't expect that the bottom of the abyss of silence would be like this."

With the five little ones back on the ground, Xu Ran looked at the debris of faint starlight shining all over the ground under his feet, and his face showed a look of amazement and astonishment.

He thought that the upper part was shrouded in black mist, and the lower part of the silent abyss should be even worse, but he didn't expect that the black fog would become thinner when it approached the bottom of the abyss, and the further down it went, the more normal it became.

The situation here is somewhat similar to that of Falling Star Valley, except that the star chips do not appear in the form of sputtering on the rock walls on both sides of the abyss, but are densely spread on the ground at the bottom like a carpet.

A little bit of glimmer gathered together, giving Xu Ran a wonderful feeling of walking on the Avenue of Stars.

Equally exciting, there are stars.

Without the obscuration of the black mist, it clearly felt the rich star power here, thinking that a Zhenxing Stone had been born here, and it suddenly felt that the probability of having a harvest on this trip was suddenly much greater.

"The extent at the bottom of the Abyss of Silence is large." Xu Ran looked around sideways and said softly, "I'm afraid we'll have to look for a while." ”

Unlike the slit at the entrance, which is more than 100 meters at most, the Silent Abyss at the bottom is more than a kilometer wide and stretches for dozens of kilometers, and it is not easy to find the traces of the Zhenxing Stone in such a large area.

What's more, the last Zhenxing Stone has been taken away, and it is unknown whether the specific location at that time is still preserved.

"Cha~" (If only I could catch a guy who stayed here and ask.) ）

Cancan spoke lazily.

When it comes to the exploration of the power of the stars, it uses the leylines to sound to no avail.

"That's a way to go." Xu Ran smiled, "But it should..."

He wanted to say that there shouldn't be such a guy stupidly bumped into him, but suddenly fell silent.

A figure slowly walked out of the cave on the rock wall in the distance, and Sen Leng's eyes instantly stared at one person and five pets.

It was a leopard-like pet beast with pitch-black scales all over it, shrouded in a thin black mist, a pair of crimson eyes full of ferocity and hideousness, and the power fluctuations of the royal class surging around it.

Dark Monarch Rank: Inkscale Leopard.

"Meow~" (Your mouth is really open.) ）

Ziyun glanced at Cancan, and then walked out step by step, his eyes locked on the ink-scaled leopard, blooming his own breath, and confronting it from afar.

This ink-scaled leopard is not simple, its aura has faintly surpassed the Great Perfection Beast King, even if it is not as good as the Nightmare Beast King, it is only slightly lower.

With such strength in the outside world, the overlord level is almost invincible, but I didn't expect the first beastmaster I met in this silent abyss to have such strength.

Fortunately, just such an opponent is not enough to threaten it.

But the next moment, Ziyun's expression suddenly became a little solemn.

Because after this ink-scaled leopard appeared, another beastmaster with comparable strength walked out of another rock-walled cave.

It was a male lion with a dark flame burning all around it, and its dark eyes were firmly locked on to Ziyun the moment it appeared, and its eyes were full of vigilance and hostility.

Dark King Tier: Dark Demon Lion!

Two quasi-overlord tiers!

No, it's three!

With a strange sound of "rattle", the black fog above the head surged, and a creature with a wingspan of more than 20 meters flew out of the black fog, staring at the one person and five pets below.

Dark Monarch Tier: Nightmare Bat!

The expressions of one person and five pets changed slightly.

The breath of this phantom bat is unfamiliar, and it is somewhat familiar.

In the process of passing through the black mist, there were several similar auras attacking them, but those auras were much weaker, and they were simply dealt with by Ziyun before they could appear.

There is no doubt that those attackers in the black fog are inextricably linked to the phantom bats in front of them.

At this moment, in this slightly narrow space, the opponent faced by one person and five pets is unprecedentedly strong.

Even in the Falling Star Valley before, they had only faced two quasi-overlord-level transcendent creatures at the same time.

And now, it's three.

"Hey, hey, hey~" The cold gaze of the Phantom Bat Sen fell on Ziyun, and undisguised greed appeared in his eyes, "The emperor race of the king level, but the great supplement, devouring you, maybe I will have a chance to evolve again." ”

"You've killed a lot of my people along the way." It spoke slowly, "Now, take your lives for the rest!" ”

"Human, coming here, is your biggest mistake." The Dark Demon Lion hissed, his eyes full of coldness, "The Silent Abyss is a forbidden area for humans!" ”

The black-scaled leopard didn't speak, but the qi became more and more dangerous.

"Meow~" (You guys talk a lot of nonsense!) ）

Ziyun's eyes flashed slightly, and countless thunder lights suddenly exploded around his body, stirring in the void, and its body was elementalized in an instant, and then accompanied by a low roar that echoed at the bottom of the abyss, it instantly appeared in front of the Nightmare Bat.

A sharp claw contained majestic power, and the terrifying and unpredictable power escaped, and Ziyun pressed towards the Nightmare Bat with a palm.

Four-star skill, Blazing Sun Level: Thunder!

The phantom bat let out a strange cry, and its body "banged" and turned into countless small bats that instantly dispersed.

A few bats were devoured at the moment of the thunderstorm, but the vast majority survived and regrouped in another place, returning to the form of a nightmare bat.

The momentum decreased slightly, but the Phantom Bat did not suffer much damage from the blow just now, and its scarlet eyes were a little suspicious, obviously not expecting Ziyun's skill to be so terrifying.

Completely ignoring the reaction of the Phantom Bat, and before the blow was successful, Ziyun's eyes instantly turned to his side for the first time, looking at the Dark Demon Lion who was quickly rushing towards him, and the dark flames around him rose into the sky.

"Roar—"

With a ferocious roar, the Dark Demon Lion quickly spewed out a cloud of dark flames that were ready to explode in its mouth, and the dark flames roared like heavy cannons over Ziyun's body, and the deep black light directly engulfed it completely.

——

"Boom !!"

Almost at the same time as the black light devoured Ziyun's body, a violent roar came from behind.

The Ink Scale Leopard, which had been silent, did not take Ziyun as the first target to attack, and at the beginning of the battle, it locked its eyes on the remaining one person and four pets.

At this moment, as the roar resounded, the light patterns intertwined by the stars quickly dimmed, and the solid walls rising from the earth were shattered inch by inch, and it was too late to repair them.

The dual defensive forces of Xingchen and Cancan can only barely resist the attack of the Ink Scale Leopard.

"Just !!"

Filled with rage, Cancan raised a claw suddenly, and the halo that strangled everything like a grinding disc intertwined in the claw, and pressed it fiercely in the direction of the ink-scaled leopard.

The light patterns intertwined by the starlight converged on its body one by one, and under the effect of the star god blessing, the brilliant momentum rose with the fall of the giant claw.

At this moment, Cancan is also bitter and unspeakable.

The current abyss can only barely accommodate its original size, which means that Cancan can't use magic to maximize its size, and even has to shrink its size a little, otherwise at the bottom of the abyss, its movements are extremely restrictive.

Originally, its strength had not yet reached the perfection of the king level, and it was too difficult to confront the Inkscale Leopard head-on.

Looking at the giant claws that fell suddenly, a trace of solemnity flashed in the red eyes of the ink-scaled leopard, and it could feel that this was enough to threaten itself.

The black mist grew thicker and thicker between its claws, almost completely covering its limbs, and the black-scaled leopard turned into a ghostly shadow, quickly dodging to the side.

Two cold blades slashed down from the air, cooperating with the giant claws of Cancan, trying to block the Ink Scale Leopard's space of action.

In the next moment, an inexplicable sleepiness swelled up, causing the Ink Scale Leopard's body to stiffen.

——

"Ahh

The sharp sound of electric light pierced the void, and the purple cloud that was devoured by the Dark Demon Lion with all its strength appeared in another void without any injury, and it looked back for the first time, looking in the direction of one person and four pets, a trace of anxiety and worry flashed in its eyes.

"Worry about yourself!"

With a mocking sneer, dark blades accompanied by the wings of the Nightmare Bat flapped and burst out of the void, instantly enveloping all the space where the purple clouds dodged.

The void was all slightly twisted under this blade, and the terrifying momentum was overwhelming.

"Meow!" (It's you who should worry about yourself!) ）

Ziyun replied unceremoniously, and at the same time, the thunder and lightning light patterns in the center of his eyebrows instantly bloomed with dazzling light.

Countless snake-like thunderbolts suddenly appeared from around Ziyun's body, slashing towards one blade after another, accompanied by the thunderous sound one after another, instantly devouring the dark blade, and then the remaining momentum continued unabated, launching a counterattack.

Four-star skill, Sun-level Thunder Lead!

As soon as the blow was struck, Ziyun didn't look at the result, and when he looked back, a claw poked out, colliding heavily with the claws of the Dark Demon Lion behind him who were about to sneak attack.

A huge thunder pattern of the word "Zhu" intertwined in the void, and the monstrous dark flame swept and reflected it, and the power of the thunder and dark system crushed each other, and finally turned into flying fragments, wrapped in the sweeping storm and scattered in all directions.

"Boom !!"

With a low roar, the body of the Dark Demon Lion flew out upside down, slamming into the rock wall, and the sharp claw that collided with the purple cloud burst out with blood, white bones, and lightning flashed continuously.

Ziyun flicked his claws, his figure flashed, and without waiting for the Dark Demon Lion to react, he appeared directly in front of it.

Ziyun raised his claw and gritted, and a thick dark purple thunderbolt descended from the void, turning into a terrifying thunder spear, which was fiercely inserted into the belly of the Dark Demon Lion, nailing it to the rock wall.

Four-star skill, Sun Level, Thunder Fury!

"Roar—"

The Dark Demon Lion let out a miserable scream, and its entire body twitched continuously due to the violent invasion of the thunder power, and a scorched smell came from the pierced abdomen, and the instantaneous heavy blow made it lose its ability to fight in an instant.

Solve one.

Ziyun's figure flashed again, and he had already appeared in front of the same slightly embarrassed Phantom Bat.

The wide range of damage caused by the thunder made it dare not disperse its body to dodge like it had faced with the thunder before it, and it had no choice but to resist by other means.

After this blow, its breath visibly withered to the naked eye, and there were electric lights swimming on its body, twitching from time to time, and it had already been hit hard.

"Spare your life!" Seeing the dark demon lion that had been nailed to the rock wall, the ghost of the ghost bat was rising, and it hissed and shouted, but Ziyun didn't hear it.

Spare your life?

Let this guy go at this moment, when you get out of the abyss, it will sneak up on everyone in the black fog.

So, the Nightmare Bat must not stay!

In the successive shuttle flashes, the clouds that had already gathered momentum to the extreme broke through the sky, and at this moment, they were swayed out by the purple clouds raising their claws, becoming the final blow to end the Nightmare Bat.

As soon as the blow fell, only a small section of the bat's wing bone glowing with black light remained in the void.

Grabbing the bat's wing bone, Ziyun returned to the Dark Demon Lion again, pulled out the thunder spear that was pinning it, and then grabbed the half-dead Dark Demon Lion and shook it hard, throwing it in the direction of Xu Ran and the other four small ones.

At the same time that the battle situation on Ziyun's side came to an end, the battle situation on the side of one person and four pets also came to an end.

Under the forcible interference of endless deep sleep, the Ink-scaled Leopard lost its only chance to retreat, and in the moment of life and death, between being smashed by a claw and being hit hard with a knife, it chose the latter.

At the cost of bearing the slash of Xu Ran, the Ink-scaled Leopard escaped from the ground of annihilation, which was ready to attack.

And that knife also left a deep and visible wound on its body, and the blood flowed out without money, making the momentum of the ink-scaled leopard fall rapidly, and it staggered a little when walking.

The returning Ziyun raised his paw and gave the Inkscale Leopard a big fight, making it even worse for its already heavy damage, and then dragged it and the Dark Demon Lion together in front of Xu Ran like a dead dog.

"I ask, you answer." Xu Ran said slowly, "If you answer correctly, I can let you live, and if you answer wrong, your life will end here." ”

The Dark Demon Lion, who had just woken up, was dying, and after glancing at the Ink Scale Leopard, he hissed, "Human, what do you want to ask?" ”

"Do you know the Zhenxing Stone?"

"Yes." The Dark Demon Lion's eyes flickered slightly, and he slowly spoke.

A hint of glint flashed in the ink-scaled leopard's crimson eyes, and he nodded equally quickly.

Xingchen had excitement in his eyes, and he was about to continue asking, but was stopped by Xu Ran raising his hand.

"Let the two of them say separately, and if they don't say the same, they will all be killed."

After speaking, Xu Ran clasped his hands on his chest and looked at a lion and a leopard.

These two guys are not honest at first glance.

Sure enough, after Xu Ran's voice fell, the expressions of the lion and the leopard changed significantly.

Ziyun grabbed it casually, and walked into the distance with the heavily injured ink-scaled leopard, leaving the Dark Demon Lion in place.

"That's it." Xu Ran looked at the Dark Demon Lion, "Tell me everything you know." ”

"The appearance of the Zhenxing Stone was probably hundreds of years ago." The Dark Demon Lion was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "The Silent Abyss at that time was not called the Silent Abyss, but the Star Abyss. ”

"At that time, there was no black fog, and the starlight at the bottom of the abyss was much brighter than it is now, and it was able to directly transmit to the entrance of the abyss."

"Xingyuan..."Xu Ran touched his chin, a look of surprise on his face, "You continue." ”

"The starlight power at the bottom of the abyss is too large, and they begin to converge spontaneously to form a special spar." A little reminiscence appeared in the eyes of the Dark Demon Lion, "This crystal has a magnificent color and contains a huge amount of power. ”

"As time passed, the spar became stronger and stronger, and began to actively absorb the power of the starlight, and the starlight in the star abyss became dimmer and dimmer, and the black mist was born."

"The birth of the black fog has something to do with the Zhenxing Stone?" Xu Ran's face was a little more surprised.

"Yes." The Dark Demon Lion nodded, "No one knows what this black mist is, we only know that the starlight power can restrain it." ”

"The birth of that crystal absorbed a large amount of starlight power, which greatly reduced the restraint of the black fog, and the black fog raged."

"I see." Xu Ran showed a sudden expression.

No wonder there is no black fog at the bottom of the Abyss of Silence, because there is the only remaining star power of the former Abyss.

That being said...

Xu Ran and Xingchen exchanged a look.

When leaving the abyss, the black mist may be dispelled with the power of the stars.

"You go on."

"It took ten years for the spar to mature." The Dark Demon Lion spoke, "Ten years have passed, and the starlight power in the abyss has not existed, and the black mist has filled the entire abyss. ”

"At the moment when the spar matured, the countless transcendent creatures squatting on the guard fought hard, and even the existence of the overlord level intervened, Xingyuan suffered heavy casualties, but in the end, it was a human beast master of the overlord level who took the spar and disappeared."

"After that battle, the abyss collapsed and evolved into the silent abyss it is today."

"And that crystal is the Zhenxing Stone you're looking for."

Xu Ran nodded slightly.

If nothing else, the one who took away the Zhenxing Stone should be a certain city lord of Xuanxing City in the past.

He used that Zhenxing Stone to create a city protection star array, which led to the current Xuanxing City.

The content of the Dark Demon Lion's story was matched with what he knew, and his credibility was greatly increased.

Ziyun's side also transmitted the content of the Ink Scale Leopard's explanation through contract induction.

The two sides are basically able to face each other.

"So now there's one last question." Xu Ran looked at the Dark Demon Lion and slowly spoke, "Where is the place where the Zhenxing Stone was born." ”

"The location where the Zhenxing Stone was born is in the most central area of the entire abyss." The Dark Demon Lion was silent for a moment, "But now, it's a forbidden area, and even the transcendent creatures of the abyss rarely enter. ”

"Why?" Xu Ran couldn't help but be curious.

"This has something to do with the scuffle over the Zhenxing Stone at that time." The Dark Demon Lion paused, "The place where the Zhenxing Stone was born was the battlefield of the year, and more than one overlord died here, and the remnants of his life stayed here for a long time after death. ”

"That area is full of all kinds of inexplicable dangers, even the Beastmaster has the possibility of death." At this, the Dark Demon Lion's eyes flashed with fear.

Apparently, it had seen such a terrible scene before.

"Is it a forbidden area..."Xu Ran touched his chin.

That's good news.

In this way, there is a high probability that the place where the Zhenxing Stone was born is well preserved.

As for those inexplicable dangers...

Together, there is always a way to cope.

——

Xu Ran is a man of his word.

Since this lion and leopard honestly told him about the situation of Zhenxingshi, he also kept his promise and let them live.

As for whether they will be killed by other transcendent creatures in the abyss... That's not something Xu Ran has to think about.

After getting the exact location of the birthplace of Zhenxing Stone, Xu Ran set off again with the five little ones.

However, on the way, Xingchen's mood seemed a little low.

And the reason for its low mood is simple.

After learning about the process of the birth of the Zhenxing Stone, it already knew in its heart that the possibility of finding a second Zhenxing Stone in the place where the Zhenxing Stone was born was 0.

The birth of a Zhenxing Stone has already left one of the star power of Xingyuan, how can the residual star power make the second Zhenxing Stone born?

"Don't be too discouraged." Xu Ran patted Xingchen's head and comforted, "At least, we have gained, and the harvest is not small." ”

"Huh?" (What's the catch?) ）

Xingchen couldn't help but ask.

"We know the formation process of the Zhenxing Stone." Xu Ran smiled, "Do you remember the experience of finding the heart of Lei Yaoshi for Ziyun in the first place?" ”

Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

When Ziyun evolved into a Lightning Cat, the most important evolution material was the Heart of Thunder Yaoshi, but there were no clues to this material at that time.

In the end, I found that I found a newly formed heart of Lei Yaoshi through clues when I knew the formation process of Lei Yaoshi's heart.

And now, they already know the formation process of the Zhenxing Stone.

Compared to the heart of Lei Yao Stone, the birth traces of Zhenxing Stone are much more obvious.

The star abyss is so vast that it can be ranked in the top three in the entire No. 47 Beast Domain, but it has lost almost all of its star power because of the birth of a Zhenxing Stone.

As long as they could find something like this, they would be able to find the Zhenxing Stone.

This clue alone is already extremely valuable.

"Next, let's go to the place where the Zhenxing Stone was born to investigate." Xu Ran chuckled, "There are always some peculiarities that can give birth to the Zhenxing Stone. ”

"Finding more clues will help us to find the Zhenxing Stone in the future."

"Sigh!" (Good!) ）

The stars hissed, and their spirits reinvigorated, and even their steps became much lighter.

To calm Xingchen's emotions, Xu Ran's gaze turned to Firefly, who had been silent for a while, "Why are you depressed?" ”

"Roar~" (I feel like I can't help anything...) ）

Firefly spoke with a distressed expression.

It has just evolved, and it should be very happy.

But in the battle just now, even Twelve relied on endless deep sleep to make a key disturbance to the battle situation, only it did nothing, and it still needed Xu Ran to be distracted and protected.

This made Firefly feel very frustrated.

"Compared to you now, Ziyun, Xingchen, and Cancan have made more than a dozen resource allocations, and Twelve has also made two or three more resource allocations." Xu Ran touched Firefly's head, "Where can these gaps be made up so quickly?" ”

"If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and when your strength catches up with everyone, you will naturally be able to play an important role in the battle." Xu Ran smiled, "If you can evolve into the Emperor Race, I don't think your output will be worse than Ziyun." ”

"Meow~" (I'll see it then!) ）

Ziyun shook his tail and spoke unconvincedly.

"Roar~" (Evolve again...) ）

Firefly's eyes lit up with fighting intent.

It has just evolved once, and it is still a little far from the second evolution, but it is always possible to prepare in advance.

Since the strength is not enough, let's make all-round efforts stronger!

"Sigh~" (We seem to have arrived.) ）

The stars hissed suddenly and stopped.

On the ground in front of them, the stardust that shimmered slightly with starlight had a little more scarlet color, so that the starlight was also penetrated by blood, and there was no pure feeling, with a bit of demony.

The air was filled with a thin red mist, with a disgusting fishy smell.

Such a special area is no different from the battlefield described by the Dark Lion.

"Stars, exorcise the ring!" Xu Ran let out a low snort, "Everyone stay vigilant and prepare for battle!" ”

"Sigh~"

The stars hissed, and the horn on the top of its forehead suddenly burst into dazzling light, and a ring of starlight spread out in all directions, shielding all negative forces from the outside.

Seeing that the blood mist was easily discharged, Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and entered it with the five little ones who were waiting for the battle.

As soon as he entered, an astonishing blood light appeared from the blood mist, and it flew towards one person and five pets.

The blood-light paused slightly after touching the Exorcism Ring, revealing its true form, an illusory blood-colored creature, too vague to distinguish the race.

It seemed to have no self-awareness, only the instinct to kill, and it roared madly to kill Xu Ran and the five little ones.

"Ahh

The lightning flashed, and the blood-colored creature turned into a wisp of red mist and vanished.

"This should be the product of the long-term coexistence of residual thoughts and the killing intent here." Xu Ran speculated, "If you don't repel the star rings, they are hidden in the red mist, and their actions are very hidden, and it is indeed difficult to detect." ”

"Keep going."

"Xingchen, do you feel any location where the power of the stars is particularly strong?"

"Sigh~" (There is one place.) ）

The stars hissed, and the amethyst-like eyes locked on a certain direction from afar, and their steps sped up a little.

One person and five pets sped up, sweeping away the blood-colored creatures hidden in the red mist all the way, and finally came to a rock cliff.

The thin starlight became noticeably dense at the corners of the rock cliffs, and they were stretched into countless thin lines, which met like cobwebs in the center of a pit.

The pit was about the size of a fist, and the inner wall was clearly angled, as if it had once been inlaid with a regular spar.

Spar...

Xu Ran stepped forward quickly, staring at the pit in front of him.

Is this where the Zhenxing Stone was born?

Xingchen leaned over to Xu Ran's side, also looked at the pit, and suddenly spoke after a while.

"Sigh~" (Below, there seems to be something.) ）

"Something?" Xu Ran's eyes lit up, "Cancan, look for it!" ”

"Cha~" (No problem!) ）

Cancan nodded quickly, its body shrunk to a state of about one meter, and quickly excavated against the pit.

Under the pit, there are also countless filament-like converging starlight,

They were like withered roots, and they once unreservedly transported the star power of the entire Star Abyss into the Zhenxing Stone.

Digging to a position about a meter underground, Cancan's movements stopped.

It clutched a knuckle-sized, jade-round stone.

"Cha?" (Is this it?) ）

"Sigh!" (That's it!) ）

Xingchen nodded heavily, confirming it as soon as possible.

From this stone, it felt the fluctuations of the power of the stars, which were not strong, but clear.

(End of chapter)
