Chapter 350: The Abyss
Frost County.
Frost Mountains.
This is a small mountain range, stretching for about 100 miles.
The wasteland-like mountains are also very barren, with only a little vegetation cover, and there are few settlements in the vicinity, except for a few scattered dwellings beneath the slightly denser vegetation to the south of the mountains.
Between the scattered wooden houses, there was smoke curling from the cooking, and I saw a family cooking, a man chopping wood in the courtyard, a woman cooking on a fire, and two young children of about six or seven years old watching with blank eyes.
"Anan, why don't you go into the mountains these days, I heard my mother say when I was very young, it is a bad omen for two suns to appear in the sky, you see that we have not slept well in the past two days......"
While the woman was cooking on the fire, she chattered at the men in the courtyard.
Wu Nan struggled to split a wooden stake, then stood up straight to wipe his sweat, and said, "The past two days have been very strange, and the Lord Dilong has turned over at night...... It seems that there is enough food at home for these two days? ”
"Enough is enough."
The woman said in a loud voice.
"Then I won't go into the mountains, and I'll rest for a day."
Wu Nan put down the axe in his hand, looked up at Cangshuang Mountain not far away, and walked to the side, grabbed a dirty rag, wiped his face indiscriminately, and then walked towards the stove, and said with a smile: "This coyote meat needs to be boiled, otherwise it will be laborious to bite and not delicious." ”
The woman laughed and added fire to the stove.
The two young children, a man and a woman, were all looking at the pot with their eyes open, their little noses shaking, they could already smell the meat in the pot, and they were salivating next to the stove.
However.
In the next moment, something happened suddenly.
First, the woman noticed that the boiling water in the pot began to ripple and gradually vibrate, and this vibration was not the rolling of boiling water, but a slight vibration.
When I looked at the corn flour in the pot next to me, I saw that the corn flour was also constantly vibrating.
"What's going on?"
The woman was stunned at first, but then she noticed that the shaking was getting louder and louder, and even she could feel the shaking, and finally showed a panicked look, and looked around again and again, but she couldn't see anything.
Wu Nan stood next to him, reacted quickly, shouted 'Earth Dragon turn over', and then suddenly grabbed his pair of children and ran under a tree in the courtyard.
The woman also hurried to follow, and the family came under the tree and clung to the branch.
Thundered!!!
But now the shaking was getting louder and louder, and the whole earth began to sway from side to side as if it were crazy, and the wooden houses, the fences, and even the big trees in the courtyard were swaying from side to side.
In the distance, there was a roar from the Cangfrost Mountain Range.
Forthwith.
Just under the horrified gaze of Wu Nan's family, they saw the Cangshuang Mountain Range not far away, as if a terrifying and surging force was surging up from the ground, spreading all the way up, and it actually caused the entire mountain to crack piece by piece from the center!
The pitch-black crack was shocking, reflected in the sight, the collapse of the huge mountain, as if the heaven and the earth were broken into two distinct halves, and at the same time, there were also bursts of screams from several scattered houses nearby, but the sound was drowned in the turbulent roar of the earth, like a cry for help in a tsunami, and it was impossible to hear it clearly.
"It's broken, it's broken, the mountain god is angry......"
The woman clung to the branches of the big tree in the courtyard, her eyes panicked, but it was difficult to stabilize her body at this time.
Wu Nan tried his best to protect a pair of children, but as the mountains in the distance collapsed and shattered, the shaking of the earth became more like a drum surface, shaking up and down, left and right, and finally he still failed to catch it, and a pair of children cried and screamed The earth that was shaken by the tremor was thrown directly into the sky, and flew up several zhang at once, and fell far away to the shattered wasteland not far away.
The man's eyes were cracked, but he couldn't do anything, even he himself couldn't stabilize his body at this time, he was about to be thrown out of the trunk, and the pair of children were only six or seven years old, and they saw that they were flying out more than ten feet, not to mention that they couldn't bear it, and the earth was cracking, and they were about to fall into the cracks.
However.
Almost just as a pair of young children were crying and about to fall into the cracks in the broken ground, suddenly a few emerald green leaves flashed from a distance, and fluttered lightly on the waist of the pair of young children.
The blades snapped and shattered, but it was such a light blade that several young children did not fall, but bounced in the air twice in a row, until a phantom came out of the air, swept through the air, and lifted the two young children.
"Huh?"
Wu Nan was a little stunned for a while when he saw this scene, but then the woman next to him also screamed suddenly, the branch she was holding on to was broken and broken, and the whole person was thrown into the air all at once.
However, he still didn't wait for it to land, and he was mentioned by the void of the figure that walked in the air, and was captured by a wisp of invisible energy.
Swish! Swish!!
The figure in the air was holding two young children in one hand, and the other hand reached out with invisible energy to capture the woman, and then did not stop, and with a wave of his hand, the trunk of the tree that Wu Nan was holding tightly was also broken, and he was directly lifted into the air.
The figure was dressed in a green robe, and his face was young, it was Chen Mu, the peak master of Lingxuan Peak!
Chen Mu's expression was calm, after saving Wu Nan's family, he didn't stop at all, his eyes fell on several other scattered families not far away, and he grabbed the four people with one hand, and then carried a few people in the air and stepped into the distance.
The invisible energy spreading out of his hands was like a tenacious fishing line, holding Wu Nan's family of four, and then constantly pointing out, pulling out figures from the broken ruins everywhere.
Meanwhile.
Distance.
Looking down from the sky, I saw that the entire Cangshuang Mountain Range had collapsed, one mountain after another was collapsing, and in the entire mountain range, there were black cracks that stretched vertically and horizontally, like an abyss, I don't know how deep the root is!
These rifts do not lead directly to the abyss, but the scene formed by the shattering of the entire mountain range also means that the leylines below have completely collapsed and scattered, reaching a depth of thousands of zhang, and all grandmasters can enter the abyss from this, and even some masters of the Six Organs Realm can try to explore it if they dare to take a huge risk.
Air.
Figures came from afar, crossing the rainbows.
Some people stared at the vertical and horizontal cracks that appeared when the Cangshuang Mountains collapsed, and some people fell directly into the shattered Cangshuang Mountains to investigate the earth's leylines up close.
Almost all the grandmasters from various sects arrived here, each gathering in different directions, and the surging aura was intertwined, which also made the power of heaven and earth under this piece of heavenly dome even more chaotic and mixed.
"Can you get in?"
"No, it's still shaking, and it's a bit risky to go down now."
There are grandmasters gazing at the condition of the mountains and communicating with each other.
At this time, the ground movement was still very violent, and the broken mountain was still collapsing further, but this kind of surface ground movement was nothing to everyone who was a grandmaster, and it was only an irresistible terrifying natural disaster for ordinary people.
Others looked at the outer side of the Frost Mountains and narrowed their eyes slightly.
"Who's that man?"
"The speed is quite fast, I can rush to the front of the old man in an instant, just to save a few ordinary mountain people?"
There was a whisper from the Grandmaster from the Linjiang Pavilion.
Chen Mu is also a well-known person in Hanbei now, and soon someone recognized Chen Mu's identity, and then quickly passed it on, many people turned their eyes to Chen Mu, all showing a bit of a different color, after all, it is a peerless Tianjiao in Hanbei once in a century, and he is only in his thirties and ranks third on the list, and is qualified to be on an equal footing with these old grandmasters.
The sky dome facing east.
I saw a cloud of brilliance circulating, and there were about more than ten people standing on this piece of brilliance, each wearing a robe by himself, and it was the many grandmasters of the Xuanji Pavilion, among which there were many existences such as Fu Jingyuan.
And the leader is full of momentum and condensement, much deeper than Fu Jingyuan and the others, and the Xuanji robe he wears is embroidered with a more complex golden texture, but he is the deputy pavilion master of Xuanji Pavilion, the ninety-eighth on the world's grandmaster list, and Ji Yuanshan, the top grandmaster in Hanbei!
“……”
Ji Yuanshan stared at Chen Mu's figure, narrowing his eyes slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Xuan immediately turned his gaze to the other side, where many grandmasters of the Seven Xuanzong Sect occupied, headed by Liu Tong, the master of Shaoxuan Peak, Feng Hongsheng and many other grandmasters were separated, and they were also gathered in one place at this time.
As if sensing the gaze of Ji Yuanshan and the other Xuanji Pavilion Grandmasters looking at Chen Mu, Liu Tong also looked sideways, and glanced at Ji Yuanshan from afar, his expression was indifferent, and the eyes of the two sides were closed at a touch.
"Liu Tong ......"
Ji Yuanshan retracted his gaze and muttered to himself in his heart.
Liu Tong, who had realized the Qiantian realm, and the Grandmaster's martial arts body was also close to perfection, and he was indeed worthy of being among the top grandmasters, even if there was a slight gap compared to Jiang Changsheng and others, but the gap between him and him was very small.
Thinking about it is also frowned, after Qin Mengjun cultivated to the Blood Exchange Realm, Liu Tong immediately made up for the position, the past few times the divination of the Seven Xuanzong was a stumbling block to their Xuanji Pavilion, and the divination of this fate is also true, and it is tricky everywhere.
Chen Mu, Liu Tong, Qin Mengjun, each one is more difficult to deal with than the other.
But.
Liu Tong's cultivation is the way of the dry sky, although the environment of the abyss is very special, even the power of the dry sky will flow, but it is indeed limited, once he is in the abyss, he still has a certain degree of self-confidence, Liu Tong is by no means his opponent.
Chen Mu's talent is too terrifying, he can be eroded by demonic qi in a short period of time, with the strength of the top three on the list, even if he is also frightened, once he masters the Qiankun realm in the future, even if he does not become a grandmaster, it will be very tricky, even he may not be sure to win, if he can have a chance in the abyss, it is naturally better to eradicate it as soon as possible.
The other side.
Many Seven Xuan Sect Masters headed by Liu Tong, at this time, some people also set their eyes on Chen Mu, who was saving people on the periphery of the Cangshuang Mountain Range, and their eyes were also different, such as Feng Hongsheng sighed in his heart that Chen Mu had risen from the bottom after all, and he was like a mustard when he saw human life, even if it was some ordinary mountain people, he was willing to come to the rescue.
Some people shook their heads slightly, such as Fang Yuan, etc., even more faintly frowned, just felt that for the sake of some mountain people, it was a little too reckless to attract so much attention, and the two days and the abyss of heaven and earth opened, this kind of natural disaster, the death of millions of people is ordinary, and it doesn't matter if you save it or not.
You must know that in this kind of scene, it is not a good thing for hundreds of grandmasters in the entire cold north to gather, which attracts people's attention, especially Chen Mu himself is extremely talented, and his cultivation is relatively dazzling in the eyes of some people.
Distance.
Chen Mu had rescued more than 20 people at this time, and almost all the scattered mountain people, but there were still two or three of them who could not help, and fell into the cracks of the broken ground and were directly rushed by the turbulent leylines.
Carrying more than 20 people with invisible energy, Chen Mu also felt a little heavy, after all, flying in the sky and being on the ground are another thing, but his expression was still calm, and he quickly retreated away from the distance with everyone, and soon moved away from the Cangshuang Mountain Range for several miles, and then put the person down.
The ground is still shaking.
However, Chen Mu landed first, and after he landed on the ground, the ground within a radius of more than ten zhang immediately stopped shaking, as if forming an isolated island in the tsunami, and looking into the distance, you could see that the earth in other directions was still trembling.
And it was not until this time that Wu Nan and many other mountain people barely woke up in shock, and after looking at the changes around them, some people quickly reacted and knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Mu.
"The immortals are on top...... The immortals are ...... above"
"Thank you for saving your life, thank you for ...... immortal"
The mountain people in the remote barren mountains may also know some martial artists, but a grandmaster like Chen Mu who can fly through the sky is naturally rare to see in his life, and it is not uncommon to meet him suddenly and mistake him for a fairy figure.
"Get up."
Chen Mu didn't say much, he calmly accepted everyone's salute, and then waved his sleeves to make everyone get up, and then continued to stand in place, suppressing the turmoil of the leylines in this area, and at the same time set his eyes on the Cangshuang Mountains in the distance, and continued to feel the movement of the leylines.
With his current realm cultivation, even if he is a top grandmaster who has transferred to the earth and kundi lineages, it is almost impossible to surpass him in terms of exploration of the earth's leylines, and at most he can barely compare with him.
The turmoil in the leylines continues.
And the violent ground movement continues.
Distance.
There are still scattered grandmasters, flying from all directions, or trekking, arriving at the Cangshuang Mountain Range, many grandmasters who are rare in their lives on weekdays, have unconsciously gathered hundreds in today's Cangshuang Mountain Range!
Nearly a quarter of an hour passed like this, and a glimmer of light finally flashed in Chen Mu's eyes.
Almost.
He muttered to himself.
In his perception, the turmoil of the leylines had begun to weaken, and although the violent earth movements were still continuing, as the power of the leylines dissipated, it was already possible to enter the abyss from the area where the Cangshuang Mountain Range was located.
Sure enough, when he judged that the abyss was already accessible, between the Cangshuang Mountains in the distance, there were also grandmasters from other sects who quickly judged it, and then the group went straight to a leyline rift and escaped into it.
This time it finally attracted the audience.
Tianjian Gate, Hehuan Sect, Blood Hidden Building, Xuanji Pavilion, Tianyin Sect, Linjiang Pavilion, Tianyahai Pavilion...... Many sect masters moved from almost all directions, each of them retreating into the leylines along different rifts.
"Lord Chen Feng, come quickly."
At this moment, Liu Tong's voice condensed into a line, spanning more than ten miles, and sounded directly in Chen Mu's ears.
Although the abyss is very large, most of the sect masters will act separately after going down, but at this time, when the abyss is just open, in order to prevent accidents before going down to the abyss, the people of each sect will naturally act in one place.
However, Chen Mu glanced at the vicinity, saw that the movement was still not ending, and then looked at Wu Nan and other mountain people, as well as a few six or seven-year-old children mixed in them, then opened his mouth slightly, and transmitted the sound back:
"Lord Liu Feng and take the first step, and I'll go later."
……
The edge of the Frost Mountains.
After listening to Chen Mu's transmission, Liu Tong couldn't help frowning slightly, and glanced in the direction where Chen Mu was.
In this kind of mixed situation, it is not safe to act alone, it is really unnecessary to take this kind of risk for the sake of twenty or thirty ordinary mountain people, but Chen Mudu has already said this, he can't say anything, seeing that the other sects have already acted, they can't be left behind, so they can only look at Feng Hongsheng and the others and say in a deep voice:
"Guys, let's go."
After hearing this, Feng Hongsheng also glanced in the direction of Chen Mu, also frowning slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end he sighed, didn't transmit much, and followed Liu Tong and the others forward, and escaped into a collapsed mountain crack together.
And this scene also happened to fall into the distance, and in the eyes of Fu Jingyuan, who entered the ground crack from the other direction, his movements were slightly sluggish, watching Liu Tong and the others escape into the earth vein, a little light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then it went down quickly.
……
Chen Mu stands about seven or eight miles away in the Cangshuang Mountains.
He looked at the direction of the mountain range, and at this time, he could also sense that the aura was submerged in the leylines, including the sword aura of 'Jiang Changsheng', the sword aura of the 'Absolute Sword Tuoba Xi' and many other figures, but his expression was always calm.
For him, it doesn't matter if he acts earlier or later, except for the existence of the Blood Exchange Realm, the speed and efficiency of the Grandmaster character's exploration of the abyss cannot be compared to him.
That's it
Nearly a quarter of an hour passed, and the violent shaking finally subsided.
"Alright, it's okay."
After Chen Mu sensed the movement of the leyline, he looked at Wu Nan and many other mountain people, and said: "You wait all the way to the west, walk seventy or eighty miles, there will be a village over there, you can temporarily settle down there, this place is dangerous, don't stay longer." ”
The Cangshuang Mountain Range is the center of this ground movement, and it is also the most dangerous area for ordinary Li Shu mountain people, although the ground movement has subsided, and many grandmasters have explored the way first, and there will be no monsters crawling out of here for the time being, but after a period of time, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not happen, and it is no longer suitable for Wu Nan and many other mountain people to stay for a long time.
But.
It won't be long before the news and intelligence spread, the Dharma Protector Deacon of the Seven Xuanzong and some Bingzhou guards of the Frost County will also come here to station and guard the broken and important place of the Cangshuang Mountain Range.
At this time, the ground movement gradually subsided, Wu Nan and many other villagers finally calmed down, and several young children blinked and looked at Chen Mu, their eyes showed a look of reverence, and after being pulled to Chen Mu and saluting again and again, they followed Chen Mu's instructions and left in the direction of the west.
After Chen Mu saw Wu Nan and the others gone, he quickly retracted his gaze and looked at the Cangshuang Mountain Range again, and then with a movement of his footsteps, the whole person disappeared in an instant, turning into a silent afterimage.
After several sweeps along the ground.
He quickly returned to the edge of the Frost Mountains, stepping up to a crumbling high point and looking downward.
I could see that the entire Cangshuang Mountain Range was already a mess, and the realm with a radius of about 100 miles was full of collapsed ground cracks, criss-crossed, and everywhere was pitch black and bottomless, giving people a sense of palpitations.
There were no figures around Fang Yuan, and many Grandmasters from the Cold North seemed to have entered it, only a little of the aura of a top Grandmaster remained in the air, such as Jiang Changsheng's slightest sword intent.
However, Chen Mu only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, and then set his eyes on the nearest ground crack, looked at it casually, and then stepped out, and the whole person fell into it, falling straight down along the ground crack.
This fissure is very deep.
He fell all the way down the rift for nearly three hundred feet, and finally it became narrower and narrower.
Chen Mu didn't hesitate much, his expression remained unchanged, only his mind moved slightly, and the nearby strata seemed to turn into flowing mud all of a sudden, and the whole person suddenly disappeared into it, just went all the way to the depths of the underground and continued to explore.
Change in the usual.
The place of three hundred zhang deep is basically the limit that the grandmaster can reach, the power of the leylines is extremely strong and difficult to shake, even the top grandmasters are here It is difficult to move an inch, but now the leylines here are completely disintegrated and broken, and any person in the Six Organs Realm or even the Five Organs Realm can go here.
Chen Mu continued to go deeper along the bottom of the rift, and the power of the leylines down was still in a state of disintegration and shattering, but as he gradually deepened, the sense of oppression gradually became stronger, after all, the deeper the leylines, the thicker and heavier they were, even if they were all broken into pieces, they were still very heavy when they were scattered.
It's just that these are not any pressure on Chen Mu today.
Five hundred zhang,
600 zhang,
Seven hundred zhang,
……
From this, he continued to go down, until he had crossed the stratum of almost 1,200 zhang, and Chen Mu finally felt that the structure below had changed abruptly, and the power of the disintegrating earth leylines seemed to disappear all at once, and even further down seemed to be a vast void.
He just went all the way to the bottom, and then after penetrating the last bit of formation, the whole person finally fell into the air at once, and at the same time, he felt that the whole person was sinking, and then fell straight down.
Rumble!
After Chen Mu fell down for about twenty or thirty zhang, he finally smashed on a thick piece of land, looking ahead, as far as the eye could see, it was pitch black and deep, and in his perception was a vast and boundless underground airfield!
"That's what it is...... Abyss. ”
Chen Mu looked up and looked up, it was about twenty or thirty zhang high, and when he looked around, it was empty and desolate.
It's as if in the middle of the structure of two layers of earth, a layer of hollow appears, and I don't know how vast it is.
Furthermore.
Chen Mu could feel the heaviness surrounding him, which was much stronger than on the ground, about ten times heavier, which was not to bear ten times the weight of himself, but to be in a heavier and oppressive environment.
It is true that it is easy to forge bones here, and it is difficult to move an inch in the Five Organs Realm, and the Six Organs Realm may be able to move one or two, but it is also quite restricted, coupled with the various crises that exist in the abyss, it is indeed not suitable for the exploration of the Six Organs Realm.
