Volume 1 The Human World Chapter 325 Wangtian Cave
Zhang Haomin and the three of them took the wooden barrier directly to the Wangtian Cave and cautiously looked inside.
Because the entrance of this Wangtian Cave faces east, and it is almost dusk at this time, the sky and the earth are dark, so that it is not clear what the situation is in the Wangtian Cave, which can not help but make people a little worried.
Luo Sheng jumped in first, glanced at the ground, and couldn't help but say.
"Huh, why is this hole so clean?"
"Clean?"
Zhang Haomin jumped in after him, and glanced at it.
This cave is on a cliff, and it is supposed to be dusty, how can it be so clean?
Thinking about it like this, Zhang Haomin couldn't help but pat his forehead and say.
"Could it be that there are people living here in this Wangtian Cave?"
"It's impossible, who can live here?"
Luo Sheng glanced inside again, and the black hole was not clear at all.
If there were people staying in it, why didn't they make the slightest noise for a long time when they first appeared here?
Zhang Haomin's mind was a little dignified, and he suspected that the cleanliness of this Wangtian Cave had something to do with Chen Kaiyu and them.
So, he helped Song Ling down from the wooden barrier, and then walked inside.
At this time, the sky is not completely overcast, so it is natural to stay in the light and look at the dark place clearly, but there is still no problem when you enter the dark place and look around.
The inside of the Wangtian Cave is not large, and you can see it all at a glance when you enter one of them.
Zhang Haomin touched the top of the stone table, and his fingertips were stained with a thin layer of dust.
According to the location of this Wangtian Cave, it is naturally normal for there to be dust in it, but such a little dust shows that the people who cleaned the Wangtian Cave have not left for too long.
And Luo Sheng couldn't help but feel very excited after seeing the objects in this cave.
"I didn't expect this hole, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. ”
"There are only three things that add up here, so why are they all in place?"
Zhang Haomin rubbed the dust on the tips of his fingers, shook his head, and said to Luo Sheng angrily.
Although he knew that someone had stayed here in this Wangtian Cave and had not been away for a long time, he still didn't think that Chen Kaiyu and Qiu Yuning would hide here.
This Wangtian Cave is on the cliff, how can Chen Kaiyu, who has not reached the realm of returning to the void, come in?
Moreover, Chen Kaiyu has a very serious fear of heights.
"That's better than sleeping outside. ”
"That's right. ”
While Zhang Haomin and Luo Sheng were lamenting this rare residence, Song Ling looked at the cave with his eyebrows.
From the moment they came to the cave, she felt a panic, and although it quickly disappeared, it still made her feel more cautious, and she did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
She always felt that something was not right, but she couldn't be sure for a while.
"Ling'er, aren't you tired?"
You know, they walked up and down the mountain for a day.
Now that I'm finally looking for a place to stay, the first thing I need to do is sit down and get some rest.
Even Zhang Haomin, who has a heavenly source, although he can't feel physically tired, after this whole day of torture, his spirit has already felt tired, and he can't help but doze off.
Song Ling did not answer Zhang Haomin's words, but wrinkled his little nose and sniffed.
"Do you smell a faint smell of blood?"
"The smell of blood?"
As soon as he heard Song Ling's words, Luo Sheng, who had already been lying on the stone bed, suddenly sat up again.
However, he smelled it for a long time, but he didn't smell anything.
Zhang Haomin also smelled suspiciously, but he couldn't smell the slightest smell of blood, but the smell on his body was more obvious, after all, it was mud and dust, and he should have washed it well.
"I didn't smell any blood, Ling'er, did you smell it wrong?"
"Impossible, it smells faint, but I can't smell it wrong. ”
Song Ling was firm that she didn't smell wrong, that faint smell was the smell of blood.
Seeing Song Ling's determined appearance, Zhang Haomin muttered a little in his heart, could it be that there was really a smell of blood?
So, he directly released Cang Yan.
Since Cangyan was a blue flame, the entire Wangtian Cave also turned blue for a while.
"Since Ling'er smelled it, let's look left and right. ”
Smelling blood in an unfamiliar place is not good news.
Especially in a place as dangerous as the Heavenly Secret Realm, if there is really a smell of blood, then someone or a demon beast must have been injured here, and there is even a high possibility that they will be killed.
If it's the blood of a demon beast, it's not too much of a problem.
But if this is human blood, then the problem is much more serious, what if this Wangtian Cave has been taken over by some terrible demon dove?
So the three of them searched left and right, trying to find the source of the smell of blood.
Because this smell was smelled by Song Ling, Song Ling quickly found a place where the smell of blood was emitted.
"There's blood here. ”
When Song Ling said this, it immediately attracted the attention of Zhang Haomin and Luo Sheng.
Sure enough, in the direction that Song Ling was pointing, they saw three or two drops of blood spots that had congealed on the wall of the cave entrance.
Luo Sheng's originally nervous face immediately turned into disapproval.
"Such a little bloodstain is not in the way. ”
"But how can this blood stain be on the wall?"
Zhang Haomin couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, the blood stains on this wall were very likely to be splashed on it.
In this way, it is very likely that the owner of the bloodstain did not just shed this blood, otherwise it would not have splashed on the cave wall, but there was no other bloodstain.
"Oh, whatever it is, anyway, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. ”
It's been a whole day's walk, and it's still a mountain road, and Luo Sheng's legs are almost unconscious.
If it weren't for Song Ling being here, he would have already let himself go by now.
Regarding Luo Sheng's words, Zhang Haomin had to give him an angry look, as if he would go up to the top when he encountered any danger, as if he was so soft-spoken.
"Then you are this general, then you are this dirt?"
"Brother Zhang, you can really joke, I'm just that soldier, it's just that water. ”
As soon as Luo Sheng heard Zhang Haomin's words, where could he sit still.
He had already seen the dangers of this Heavenly Secret Realm, and even if he advanced his realm by two more levels, he was still just a little minion who could be wiped out by the Heavenly Demons at any time.
What's more, there is still a great god like Zhang Haomin standing here.
"Then you don't hurry up and take precautions. ”
Zhang Haomin looked at these three or two points of blood, and then glanced intently at the outside of the cave.
If there was really any danger in this Wangtian Cave, they had to prepare in advance, after all, once the entrance of the cave was blocked by some demon beast, then they would become the eighth king of Wengzhong.
"What Brother Zhang said is extremely true, but with only these three or two drops of blood, how can we prevent it?"
"Why don't you take turns keeping vigil?"
Luo Sheng glanced at the cave that was almost drowsy, but he didn't have the slightest opinion on it.
If they didn't find the cave, they would have to arrange for people to take turns to keep vigil, as they had done last night, and they all fell into a coma due to an accident, which was quite dangerous.
"That's as it should be. ”
"That's the old rule, you keep the second half of the night, and I keep the first half of the night. ”
"Don't stop calling me. ”
Last time, because of eating tiger meat, Zhang Haomin didn't wake up Luo Sheng.
So much so that after waking up, Luo Sheng blamed himself quite much, he could only help Zhang Haomin, not only did he not help, but even caused Zhang Haomin to stay all night in order to take care of him.
"Nonsense, I'm not a fool. ”
Zhang Haomin glanced at Luo Sheng angrily, this guy was full of good things.
He doesn't eat any wild tiger meat now, and he can jump and jump, if Zhang Haomin has no problem with his brain, he naturally won't stay up all night alone.
After all, staying up late will really affect the state of the next day.
Immediately, he took the food out of his fingers.
It's just that these foods are destined to be cold tonight, after all, there is no place for smoke in the Wangtian Cave, once the fire is raised, even if they are not choked to death by the smoke, they will have to suffocate to death.
This firewood is not a fire-based spell, it needs to consume oxygen.
"You can't make a fire in this cave, so let's be a little more aggrieved tonight. ”
"Brother Zhang, can't you just use your blue flame to roast?"
"This flame is very powerful, but in fact, there is no temperature at all. ”
Zhang Haomin is not fooling Luo Sheng, what Cang Yan is burning is the soul body, and there is no harm to the flesh at all.
This is also the reason why the two water demons who were burned alive by Cangyan obviously had blue flames burning all over their bodies, but after they were burned to death, there were no wounds on their bodies.
"There is no temperature, and there is such a magical flame in this world?"
When Luo Sheng heard Zhang Haomin's words, he couldn't help but be very curious and stretched out his hand directly into Cangyan.
As a result, a pig-like scream instantly sounded in the Wangtian Cave.
The pain from the burning of the divine soul suddenly made Luo Sheng's painful head stunned, which was far more terrifying than the ordinary flames that could burn the skin, after all, it hurt to the depths of the soul as soon as it came up.
"Oops, it hurts me. ”
"Although this Cangyan doesn't have any temperature, it doesn't mean that it doesn't have attack power. ”
Zhang Haomin looked at Luo Sheng, who was covered in cold sweat, and couldn't help but shake his head and say.
As the so-called curiosity killed the cat, Luo Sheng put his hand in it so recklessly, he completely forgot how the two water demons died, otherwise he wouldn't dare to be so bold.
Luo Sheng kept gasping, covering his burned palm and complaining.
"Brother Zhang, how can you lie to me? ”
"Then take out your hand and see if there are any signs of fire on your palm. ”
Hearing Zhang Haomin say this, Luo Sheng took out the hand he was holding with a suspicious face.
Although the burning stinging sensation on his hand is very obvious, and it has not been eliminated even now, but as Zhang Haomin said, there is no trace of being burned by the fire at all.
"Huh, not really, but why do I still feel so much pain?"
"That's because this Cangyan can directly cauterize the soul, so you can feel the severe pain, but there is no scar on your hand. ”
"Directly cauterize the soul?"
Zhang Haomin's words stunned Luo Sheng for a while.
The flame that directly burned the soul was far more terrifying than ordinary gunpowder.
The soul is the essence of a person, and once the soul is injured, it is far more serious than the physical injury, and even the recovery will be more difficult.
It's like Zhang Haomin's soul was injured, but it takes three or two months to fully recover.
It is precisely because of this that Luo Sheng was so surprised, this is really a big killer.
"That's right, so there's no way to heat up food. ”
"Wouldn't it be too wasteful to use such a powerful flame to heat food. ”
As if he had discovered a great treasure, Luo Sheng looked at the blue glow of Cangyan.
In the literature records of their Fu Taoist Temple, it is indeed recorded that such a flame directly burns the soul, but that flame is called the Netherworld Fire, and it is also an existence that is difficult to find in the world.
As for what Zhang Haomin said about Cangyan, he had never heard of it or seen it.
Zhang Haomin looked at this guy's longing gaze, he looked like he had never seen the world, and directly threw a piece of salted cake to him, and said angrily.
"Okay, no matter how envious you are, you can't get it. ”
"Little brother, I take the liberty of asking, Brother Zhang, how did you get this flame?"
"It's not a good idea, but it's painful. ”
This Cangyan is not a force that Zhang Haomin completely controls, but just a trace of the brute tiger.
It is precisely because of this that Cangyan is something that can only be entered and exited for Zhang Haomin, and when he consumes all the Cangyan left by the brute tiger, he will no longer be able to release Cangyan.
As for how he got Cangyan, he had to be burned by this Cangyan first.
Rao is the power of his divine soul comparable to that of an immortal, and under the scorching of Cangyan, it has also consumed more than half.
If it weren't for the fact that the brute tiger didn't know death, and had to get into his consciousness, trying to erase his consciousness, so as to achieve the purpose of rebirth with his physical body, he would have really died.
"Pain, how to suffer?"
"You have to at least have your whole body burned by this cangyan. ”
Zhang Haomin's words strangled Luo Sheng's curiosity directly in the cradle.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he was burned by Cang Yan to the point that he was covered in cold sweat and almost fainted from pain.
If his whole body was burned by Cangyan, wouldn't that kill him?
So, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Haomin's eyes.
How much will does it take to support Cang Yan's scorching? The pain that Zhang Haomin endured was simply beyond Luo Sheng's imagination, so much so that he admired it even more.
"If Brother Zhang is not an immortal, then it is an injustice of heaven. ”
"Hahaha, you're really exalting me, but I'm definitely going to become an immortal. ”
Zhang Haomin smiled happily, but Song Ling on the side couldn't help but look dark.
However, because he and Luo Sheng touted each other, they didn't notice the changes in Song Ling at all.
"Hurry up and eat, when you're full, think about where Kaiyu and Miss Qiu can go. ”
"I think there's a good chance they're hiding in a hole somewhere. ”
Luo Sheng took a big bite of salty cakes and said with a bulging mouth.
And Zhang Haomin tore off a whole chicken leg from the roast chicken, handed it to Song Ling, who was sitting on the stone bench, and said.
"After last night's big fight, it's very unlikely. ”
"Then there's no need for them to leave Tianzhu Mountain and venture farther away. ”
Listening to Luo Sheng's words, Zhang Haomin couldn't help but fall into contemplation for a while.
They didn't know what happened to Chen Kaiyu and Qiu Yuning, so they didn't know what kind of decision Chen Kaiyu would make, choose or be forced to choose where to go.
Song Ling nibbled on the chicken leg in small bites, looked at the blood stains on the wall, and whispered.
"Is it possible that they have been captured by the demon beasts?"
Zhang Haomin's eyes lit up for a while, but then he shook his head again.
Although there is a possibility that Chen Kaiyu and them will be captured by the demon beast, but this probability is also very small, after all, why did the demon beast catch it alive?
Moreover, the warning jade of him and Chen Kaiyu has never lit up.
"It's unlikely, according to the ferocity of the demon beasts, even if they were captured, they would already be dead. ”
"Could they indeed be dead?"
Luo Sheng's speculation has always been a topic they deliberately avoided.
They try to give comfort to their ego by avoiding it, to tell themselves that they are not dead.
But as things stand, their chances of survival are not high.
Although Chen Kaiyu and Qiu Yuning escaped from the goshawk's beak, for the battle that was called the end of last night, once a golden light fell on them, the result was already decided.
Originally, the open land in front of the mountain could have a lake popping up at this time.
In the face of such a terrifying might, for Chen Kaiyu, who only has the Qi Sea Realm, how can he avoid it?
And there is one of the biggest possibilities.
When the demon god appeared, but the entire Heavenly Secret Realm was filled with the golden light with the spell, as long as Chen Kaiyu glanced at the golden light, then his fate was doomed.
After all, Qiu Yuning, who was hit by the powder of scattered force, had no way to pull him back.
"They're not going to die, they're not going to die. ”
Zhang Haomin insisted weakly, he didn't believe that Chen Kaiyu would die so easily.
But the various things they encountered in the Heavenly Secret Realm cast a shadow on this hope, so much so that even Zhang Haomin, who was originally firm, began to gradually waver.
"And where are we going to find it tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow we will look for them near Tianzhu Mountain, and if we can't find them, we will return to the swamp. ”
The lord of the swamp, Bangkar, has signed a blood pact with Zhang Haomin.
What's more, there are a lot of water demons in the swamp, and it is completely possible to let the water demons help them inquire, which is much more convenient and safer than them looking for them in person.
"That's all there is to it. ”
Luo Sheng's eyes were very confused, as if Chen Kaiyu's figure appeared in the blue sky.
Although he didn't know what Qiu Yuning was all about, through that time of getting along, he also knew what trouble Qiu Yuning had encountered, so that he had to be carried on his back.
"Huh, what is this?"
Zhang Haomin, who was sitting on the stone bed, moved his buttocks in, and suddenly felt that there was something very awkward under his buttocks.
So, he bent over and took it out, and looked at it by the light of the fire.
The thing that hit his ass turned out to be a round bead, and the blue flame made him unable to distinguish the material of the bead for a while, but it looked like a pearl or something to the touch.
"Shall I see?"
For this kind of thing, Luo Sheng can be said to be full of curiosity.
Zhang Haomin immediately handed the small bead to Luo Sheng, Luo Sheng turned it around in his hand, and after a while, he figured out the material of the small bead, so he said suspiciously.
"It's strange that there is such a thing as a pearl in a place like this. ”
"Pearls?
Song Ling didn't have the slightest interest in this, after all, she didn't have the same strong curiosity as Luo Sheng.
But when she heard Luo Sheng say that it was a pearl, her heartbeat seemed to miss a beat, and a natural intuition told her that this pearl might have something to do with Qiu Yuning.
Luo Sheng didn't have the slightest interest in pearls, so he threw them directly to Song Ling and said.
"It's like a very ordinary pearl, nothing special. ”
Song Ling didn't care about the greasy on his hand for a while, and directly followed the pearl and looked at it carefully.
Because Qiu Yuning's hairpin was inlaid with pearls, it was still the hairpin she personally selected for Qiu Yuning when they were in Jian'an City, so she naturally remembered it very clearly.
Sure enough, she saw a trace of metal wear on the smooth surface of the pearl.
And this pearl is the same as the pearl on the hairpin she selected for Qiu Yuning at that time, all of which are local pearls in Da'an.
"This is like a hairpin on my senior sister's hairpin. ”
"What did you say?"
After hearing Song Ling's words, Zhang Haomin couldn't sit still for a while.
If this pearl is really on the hairpin of Qiu Yu Ning, doesn't it mean that Qiu Yu Ning and Chen Kaiyu have been to this Wangtian Cave and have been hiding here for a while?
After repeated confirmations, Song Ling said affirmatively.
"That's right, this pearl is the one on my sister's hairpin. ”
"Then they didn't come to this cave? ”
In this way, they finally knew why the Wangtian Cave was clean.
But Zhang Haomin's heart was full of doubts, not to mention how they got into this Wangtian Cave, just since they had already hid in, why did they leave again?
And, there is a very crucial point, what about the blood stains on the wall?
However, this is also a rare piece of good news, at least they can finally be sure that Chen Kaiyu and them did not die in the battle last night, and they are still safe until they leave the Wangtian Cave.
Because when they left this Wangtian Cave, they cleaned the Wangtian Cave very cleanly.
