Chapter 254: Two Layers of Underground Passages
Qi Yejie's body was light, and he fell vertically to the cave floor, stepped on it, and the slightest chill seeped through his shoes to the soles of his feet, "Ouch! He said as he released the shield.
Ouch...... It's so cold.........
Circles of echoes wandered, repeating the phrase over and over again.
Ji Ren and Ju Hongtao immediately raised a layer of shield and gently stepped on the ground to protect their bodies from the cold.
Ji Ren said: "Whoever makes the yin qi here too pure, our divine consciousness will be constantly disturbed by it before it is put down. Moreover, we don't know if there is a shadow here, you say who will suffer if you come down rashly. ”
Qi Yejie was surprised: "Then according to what you say, we just need to go through the motions, right?"
Ji Ren smiled: "That's for sure, some things are invisible, and I just don't want you to be attacked by the shadows, let's go." ”
He led the way in front, white light shining on the walls of the cave around him.
Qi Yejie and Ju Hongtao looked at the cave wall, and there was still a lot of cold ice that had not yet dispersed, and couldn't help but have a doubt, glanced at each other, and asked.
"Ji Ren, what kind of place is this?"
Ji Ren looked at the four huge forked holes in front of him and said, "I suspect that there is an abandoned ghost gate here, otherwise, why is the yin qi coming out of here so pure, right?"
Bang –
Qi Yejie pointed and swiped, and a sword light flew out, slashing on the cold ice above his head, and a slight sword mark was engraved on the ice, "No, it's so hard." ”
Ju Hongtao looked up and said in surprise: "Ajie, the sword splitting wood can still score three points, are you joking with this shallow mark?!"
Ji Ren looked at it, and a golden light waved up in his right hand, and with a 'bang', the golden light splashed into the cold ice and dispersed, "Wrong, the time formed here is far beyond my imagination, at least more than three hundred years." ”
300 Years !!
Qi Yejie and Ju Hongtao looked at Ji Ren in surprise, their expressions slightly incredulous.
"Ji Ren, isn't it, shouldn't this place have been frozen out for three hundred years?!"
"It's true that it doesn't seem to have changed much here. ”
Ji Ren continued to walk forward and asked, "I'm curious about who was the first person to come here and what he saw." ”
Ju Hongtao said: "No one wants to admit that they are the first to come, and the first to see them may not know anything." ”
Qi Yejie shook his head and said, "It's too late to ask this question now, you should have asked it earlier." ”
Ji Ren stopped in front of the fork in the road and said with a smile: "Who would have thought that there are so many, plus the situation here is unknown, there is no news at all." ”
Tachibana asked, "Which way should we go?!"
Ji Ren said: "The further back you go, the more forks in the road, which way do you think you should go." ”
Qi Yejie was curious: "Ji Ren, do you know which way is right?"
Ji Ren shook his head and said, "It's not clear for the time being, at least it will be safer." ”
Tangerine Hongtao said: "Since you know, then you lead the way, we believe that you are the leader of the big competition." ”
Ji Ren smiled: "Okay, then please come with me." With that, he turned and walked to the last hole.
Qi Yejie and Ju Hongtao followed without hesitation, thinking that they were worthy of being the guys in Tianjun who were famous, and they did have two brushes.
The caves in Ji Renzhi's sea crisscross each other, guiding everyone to a dead end layer by layer.
Is this man-made, or is it natural......
According to his idea, it would be better if nature was a naturally formed channel, and if it wasn't, then the end would be a blessing or a curse.
A quarter of an hour later, Ji Ren took the lead out of the cave, and before Qi Yejie and Ju Hongtao could be happy, they were immediately stunned.
Qi Yejie was surprised: "What do you mean?
Ju Hongtao pondered: "One cave mouth corresponds to five cave openings, and those five cave entrances correspond to thirty-six cave openings...... Ji Ren, how is this so similar to the method of the predecessors to set up the formation, not only to trap the gravediggers, but also to protect their own tombs. ”
"Well, you're right, it's a formation arrangement. Ji Ren nodded, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not all, the owner of the tomb still has a place to live, as long as he returns the same way." ”
"But...... In this case, doesn't that give others the opportunity to rob the tomb?!" Qi Yejie touched his chin puzzled and asked.
“
No, since you don't want to trap the people who come in, it shouldn't be possible to build a tomb here. Ju Hongtao said hesitantly.
"Let me ask a question, who said that this is the graveyard of the Flying Immortal powerhouse?" Ji Ren asked back.
Qi Yejie said: "It's me, the ancient books in my family have recorded that there have been visions here, and at the same time, there has also been a powerhouse in the Flying Wonderland. ”
Ju Hongtao nodded and said: "That's the case, he is not the only one who said it, but some people also said so." ”
Ji Ren pondered for a while and speculated: "I said something unpleasant, everyone is ready to flee here at any time." ”
Qi Yejie was stunned and wondered: "Escape from here, is the situation here very bad?"
Ji Ren shook his head slightly, and said solemnly: "You haven't seen the ghost gate, so I don't know what these yin qi is about, but I have seen it, and the yin qi here is exactly the same as the one coming from the ghost gate." Moreover, why did the powerhouse of the Flying Immortal Realm set up so many secret passages, naturally he wanted to prevent others from going to the place where the yin qi leaked, what do you think?"
"Hey!" Qi Yejie looked around in surprise and said, "Then according to what you say, these retreats are just for us to escape." ”
Ju Hongtao didn't dare to say: "No, there are hundreds of Burning Sea Cultivators here, even if it is the Supreme, then you have to take a detour." ”
Ji Ren shook his head and said: "What you think is too simple, the real Supreme will not fight with us, he will only break them one by one." Not to mention...... Ethereal ghosts, how are you going to guard against them!?"
Qi Yejie pondered: "Ji Ren is right, if it is really like what he said, even if we have more people, it will not be enough to consume ghosts." ”
Ju Hongtao hesitated: "Then you can't leave now, what a pity!"
Ji Ren nodded clearly and said, "Okay, let's continue to go in, anyway, there are people in front of us, so we don't have to worry too much." With that, he raised his feet and walked to the next hole.
As soon as he said this, the worries of the latter two were not so strong.
They quickly followed Ji Ren, each holding a spiritual weapon vigilantly in their hands.
After Ji Ren led them through this hole, three holes appeared in front of them.
The three of them hesitated, but continued to follow Ji Ren.
After going back and forth like this for half an hour, Tangerine Hongtao and Qi Yejie had completely forgotten where they came from.
I only knew that I could only go back from the hole I came from.
Ji Ren secretly counted the entrance of the cave, four, five, three, seven, eight, two, nine, six......
These passages are not very long, each section is two or three hundred meters, but the terrible thing is that they are up and down, left and right, constantly circling in circles, and do not give others a chance to remember at all.
In addition, there are hundreds of people who come in, and everyone wants to be the first to grab the treasure and leave, so they don't have the heart to remember this.
Suddenly, Ji Ren stopped, looking at the sloping hole in front of him in disbelief.
"Damn, there's another floor, it's definitely not a good place!"
Also, I miscalculated, most of these passages can be penetrated to the next floor.
Qi Yejie said: "Ji Ren, what do you say we should do now, the further down the yin qi becomes, the more mana we consume." ”
Ju Hongtao shook his head with a solemn face, "It's impossible to give up, I've already come here." ”
Ji Ren said: "I'm not worried about where I'm going, I'm worried about what is down there, and you have to resist the cold, so sooner or later you won't be able to stand it." ”
Ju Hongtao said: "It's okay, I won't take the initiative to leave if I can't stand it." ”
Qi Yejie nodded and said, "Me too, let's go." ”
Ji Ren thought about it and nodded slightly, "Okay, then let's go." ”
He still took the lead, but this time, his pace slowed down, not a little slower than before.
It was even more wrong here than I thought, and the concentration of yin qi doubled again.
His senses are the same as the monk's divine sense, even in extremely special circumstances, without the need to consume his own strength, he will be affected to varying degrees.
They followed Ji Ren, and they were not clear about the situation below for the time being, but seeing Ji Ren's speed slow down, they had to be vigilant.
Click......
Ji Ren stepped on the next layer of ice step by step, the fog around him was a little thick, and the white light in front of them was affected and dimmed, causing them to face the three holes in front of them
Can't see clearly.
Qi Yejie's right hand was raised slightly, and the light topaz ruler in his hand exuded light, "The yin qi here is very heavy, Brother Tao, what do you think?" ”
"Well, be careful. Ju Hongtao held a bronze short spear that was half an arm long, and cautiously walked to Ji Ren's side, "How, can you still find a way?"
"Okay, let's go. Ji Ren nodded, and walked towards the hole in the middle.
Ju Hongtao and Qi Yejie quickly followed, and the shield on their bodies dimmed even faster after stepping into the hole.
Suddenly, the mist moved slightly, Ji Ren's head tilted, and a ghost shadow flashed and disappeared.
Well!!!
The two people behind were shocked, and they instantly looked around with wide eyes.
"Ji Ren, are you alright. ”
"Ji Ren, be careful. ”
Ji Ren shook his head and said, "It's okay, you pay attention, there is something here." ”
The two of them nodded in unison and said, "Okay, understood." ”
Ji Ren walked out of the passage a little faster, and looked at the seven holes in front of him and was stunned, "What are you doing, do you want to enlarge the move as soon as you come up?"
As soon as the mist moved, Qi Yejie quickly raised his right hand to block in front of him, and with a crisp 'ding' sound, a shadow grabbed the jade ruler, and disappeared in an instant.
"It's dangerous, these...... It's really enough for perineums. ”
Ju Hongtao's eyes froze, and the bronze short spear in his hand stabbed back, "Scatter!"
Ahh
A scream suddenly sounded, and a faint figure quickly dissipated.
Ji Ren looked at the bronze short spear in surprise and said with a smile: "Suppress ghosts and gods, good thing." ”
Ju Hongtao smiled and said, "See you laughing, ordinary goods." ”
Ji Ren smiled and nodded, and continued to walk forward, "I hope we don't be the last." ”
Qi Yejie said: "What's wrong in the end, didn't you say that the end is the best?"
Ji Ren shook his right hand, put a figure in front of him into his hand, and said: "Yes, but in this situation, it's better to finish the investigation early, it's late, I don't know how many people block us." ”
Ju Hongtao was surprised: "A good spell can actually contain yin evil." ”
Yin evil, the evil things contained in the pure yin qi, can lurk in the ice, and can be hidden in the mist, colorless and faint shadows, the heavier the yin qi, the heavier the strength.
"There's no way, unless it's completely dispersed, or sooner or later it will condense again. Ji Ren smiled and said.
The three of them were companions, and there were yin and evil dances along the way, which directly entangled the heads of Qi Yejie and Ju Hongtao.
And, the further you go inside, the stronger the yin becomes, and the harder the ice becomes.
Even Ju Hongtao poked with a bronze short spear, but he could only make a small hole in the ice.
Qi Yejie flinched the jade ruler in his hand, raised and patted the yin head in front of him, and instantly pressed on the squid like a red-hot iron plate, making a sizzling sound, "Scatter!"
With two pops, the yin in front of Qi Yejie and the yin behind Ju Hongtao broke at the same time.
Ji Ren smiled and said, "You guys are okay, this is already the thirty-second super strong yin." ”
Qi Yejie nodded and said, "It's too difficult, I don't have any means to restrain the evil at all, I can only rely on cultivation to suppress it strongly." ”
Ju Hongtao asked: "How long will it take to get to the end, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid that the mana won't be able to last out at the moment." ”
Ji Ren shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it seems that we are only halfway there." ”
What the!!!
The two of them were shocked and said in disbelief: "This is only half?!"
Ji Ren bowed his head and said, "Well, there are obviously more secret passages here than those on the previous layer, and ...... The ominous aura is getting stronger and stronger. ”
Qi Yejie hesitated: "Or, let's stop here?"
Ju Hongtao said: "No, this place hasn't been explored yet, how can you just go." ”
Ji Ren said: "The task of the academy is to only designate me to go alone, so you don't have to force me to follow." ”
Qi Yejie was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "The academy will appoint you alone, what about us?"
Ju Hongtao said: "This is not to take us seriously." ”
Ji Ren smiled and waved his hand, "No, no, the academy is worried about accidents, so I must be alone, of course, when the time comes, when the credit is calculated, everyone will share it equally, even if I don't want to, it doesn't matter." ”
