Chapter 24 Dormitory
Ji Xuan stopped to rest several times, and finally saw some changes on the wall when Xiao Lu's spiritual power was about to run out.
The walls of the cave gradually became a little smoother, more like they had been specially polished than the previous wild growth.
This makes it harder for her to draw on her strength, slowing down, but it also indicates that something unusual may lie ahead.
Step by step, the water ripples fluctuate with the movements of the figure.
The end of the tunnel is finally in plain sight.
The dark blue tunnel vanished into the inky blue cavern, black overshadowing the blue, and two candles in the cave lit on the menorah not far from the entrance, flickering with scorching white flames.
Can there be flames in the water?
Ji Xuan tensed his nerves and moved inward.
The area of the cave is not large, but it seems to be inhabited, there are beds on one side, tables, chairs, and bookshelves on the other side, although it is in the water, it is not deformed by the water, and the position is well fixed on the ground.
There's even a stove that's soaked in water.
The tunnel closes before the cave, but the interior of the cave continues the road surface of the tunnel, and the utensils are placed on both sides. The road passes through the cave and becomes an open tunnel that continues ahead.
On both sides of the road, candles are placed on vertical candlesticks at intervals. The two sides spread out, as if empty, and as if there was a distant border, merging into the dark water realm.
Ji Xuan continued to move forward along the road, the candlesticks were too far apart, and he could only borrow a hand of strength when passing by, and walked in the water on his legs alone, which was really inconvenient.
Unlike the previous tunnels, the road twice seemed to be able to stretch indefinitely, and the mysterious dark blue faded from light to thick, disappearing from the border of view.
Is it the bottom of the river? The bottom of the lake? Or the ocean?
Wanhai Peak is so far away from Wansheng Peak, it won't really fall into the sea.
The road is long, will she really make it to the end?
Ji Xuan walked forward in silence, the system had just said too much, and there was no new inspiration to gag, and his mind was quiet.
The blood of the sea snake may really fit here, as time passes, Ji Xuan can feel that breathing has become easier and smoother, and the resistance to moving forward is much less.
Although it is still half-floating, the force required to move the limbs is significantly reduced, and the blood trembles in the body.
The scenery ahead also changed in a new way, and at the end of the road, there seemed to be some structure looming in the water, and the blue-black shadows could be seen in the distance.
Ji Xuan: "......"
That didn't seem to be the place where her cultivation should go.
She paused slightly, frowned and looked into the distance, temporarily stopping in place.
The system's voice changed slightly: "It's all here, will you be afraid?" ”
Ji Xuan: "What you said, you can come here, and you cherish your life even more." ”
It's a pity, she doesn't seem to have a way back.
Ji Xuan chose to put it on the road for the time being, and floated in place to rest for a while. If it is really another death, it seems that there is no need to rush.
The system hesitated: "There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”
Ji Xuan decisively: "Don't talk about it, don't say it." ”
System: "...... There seemed to be something on the candle on the side of the road, moving. ”
Ji Xuan: "??!!! ”
When I looked closely, it seemed like something was flickering.
Ji Xuan swam to the nearest standing candlestick, cautiously observing from a distance.
Next to the pale flame of the candle, two fluttering moths were swimming around the flames, just "flying", not "moths to the flames".
What is it?
Ji Xuan stared at the fluttering moth, which was about the size of a palm, with a pair of dark blue wings, with mysterious blue-purple patterns outlined on the wings, and slender antennae hidden in the water, appearing from time to time.
It seems that it is not a fluttering moth, but a butterfly.
Ji Xuan frowned, these two moths have not shown the intention to attack at the moment, but their cultivation is higher than her, and they can't detect the specific level.
Or dangerous.
With this candlestick as the center, Ji Xuan probed more than ten candlesticks on both sides of the road before and after, and there were butterflies flying around the candlelight.
Some butterflies are larger, the size of an adult's open palm; Some butterflies are smaller, only the size of a fingernail; No cocoons or pupae appeared.
Ji Xuan stayed in front of the candlestick next to him.
On top of the candle of this candlestick, there are three butterflies, all three small butterflies the size of fingernails.
Among spirit animals, generally speaking, being smaller means younger, and it also means that cultivation is lower.
Ji Xuan switched to the identity of "Yang Xiao", and the little spiritual power left was still enough to support her for simple detection.
These three butterflies, one at the fifth level of Qi cultivation and two at the third level of Qi training, are all under her cultivation.
A bold idea came to mind.
"You say." Ji Xuan asked the system, "How about I contract them?" ”
System: "If it doesn't cause other butterflies to attack, it's still earned." There is too little information here, and if they are trapped all the time, food and drinking water will eventually be insufficient, and they can get information from them later, which may bring new opportunities. ”
Ji Xuan squinted his eyes: "I think so too, it's safer than going to the temple in front." ”
She turned her head to look at the hazy building in the distance, and after replacing it with the body of "Yang Xiao" with spiritual power, the "temple", or other huge buildings, brought even more oppressive force.
Now, Ji Xuan has two choices in terms of identity.
First, although "Yang Xiao" still has some spiritual power, and it is a great consummation of qi training, but the exercises he cultivates are not from the imperial beast school, although he is not completely unable to contract spirit beasts, the difficulty is much greater than that of "Jiang Nian", and it is the first time, and he is inexperienced.
Second, the body of "Jiang Nian" is better to use, but it has no spiritual power.
There are anomalies in the cave and the water, and since she woke up next to the deep pool, she has been spending spiritual energy, but she has not been able to recover any of it.
Ji Xuan groaned, the two identities have their pros and cons.
Forget it, let's try it with "Jiang Nian" first, in the current situation, every trace of spiritual power is very precious, and "Jiang Nian" has a way to contract spirit beasts without consuming spiritual power.
Ji Xuan switched to "Ginger Year", rewrapped the little green neck sleeve, stretched out his hand next to the lowest cultivation butterfly, and gently scratched the skin of his fingertips with the dagger on his waist.
A drop of blood shuddered and flowed out.
She quickly switched back to Ji Xuan's body and observed if there was any abnormal movement around her due to the appearance of blood.
- In the distance under the water, a light blue shadow swayed, bounced off the ground, and suddenly rushed in a certain direction.
Ji Xuan's side, after a while, nothing happened in front of him.
She breathed a sigh of relief, changed back to the identity of "Jiang Nian" again, reached out to the extreme place of the butterfly, and cut a bloody hole in the palm of her hand, and the dripping blood spread in the water, wrapping the little butterfly all over her body, soaking her wings.
