Chapter 30: Desperate Situation
In the Xuanyin Forbidden Land, under a broken stone pillar, a corpse in a tattered Taoist robe sat on the altar with iron chains wrapped around it, and opposite him were several other corpses with different styles of Taoist robes.
Wang Zhi looked at the scene in front of him and did not feel sad, but there were many bright red spots on his skin, which made him feel like ants eating away at his bones and itching all over his body.
The Xuan Ming Qi here is quite strong, and it has begun to show corrosive properties, and Wang Zhi's skin has also suffered as a result.
Therefore, after finding out the situation on the altar, Wang Zhi quickly retreated, and used his strong will to resist the impulse brought by the itching.
If there were a few more wounds on his body at this time, he felt that he would soon become the same fate as these dry bones.
After leaving the altar, Wang Zhi noticed that the road was far from the end, and in the looming place, he seemed to see the shadow of another altar.
When he came to the second altar, he found that it was the same place.
The same stone pillars, the same dry bones, the only difference is probably the style of Taoist robes on these people.
None of them are from the Edgeworth Sect!
The more Wang Zhi looked at it, the more frightened he became, he had encountered a total of seventeen Taoist altars like this, but he had never even seen a living person.
Aside from the purpose of saving Brother Sun Hu, Wang Zhi's heart was full of doubts.
These people ...... Where did you come from, and why were you imprisoned here until you were reduced to a dry skeleton?
In fact, the answer is very easy to think of, and even Wang Zhi, a novice who has just entered the immortal cultivation realm, quickly figured out some things.
Since they are monks, they are naturally from other sects if they are not from the Imperial Sword Sect, and the reason why they are imprisoned here is naturally nothing more than sect battles and treasure battles.
Is it because of the peerless beauty?
Wang Zhi thought about it and felt that it was not impossible, as long as that strong enough monk was boring enough, then there was nothing impossible.
Being strong is the greatest truth in the world of cultivating immortals.
After walking through these seventeen dry bone altars, Wang Zhi understood this truth more and more.
Behind the seventeen altars, there was a huge abyss, from which the cold wind blew, as if it were a yin wind from hell.
And Wang Zhi stood at the edge of this abyss, and after glancing at the darkness below, he didn't want to lean out again.
For his own life, Wang Zhi has always cherished it.
But he hasn't even seen Sun Hu's face now, so why just give up?
Speaking of this, Wang Zhi was also puzzled.
There is obviously a bottomless abyss ahead, where can Sun Hu go?
After repeatedly checking the entrance of the cave he was in, Wang Zhi didn't find any hidden passages, so there should be a road ahead.
Holding back the discomfort in his heart, Wang Zhi leaned out again, and this time he looked carefully, and finally found that there was a winding stone staircase under the cave where he was.
Anchored to a stone wall, this stone staircase hangs in the air one step at a time, and below is a dark abyss that is bottomless, making people feel intimidating.
"Goo. ”
Wang Zhi swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and with great courage he could not look under him, and tentatively stepped on the first stone step with one right foot.
"Whew!"
The slight trembling of his legs put a lot of pressure on his heart, and at the same time, the pressure in his heart also exacerbated the trembling of his legs, so he had to take a deep breath to calm his mood.
Be calm, be calm!
Imagine yourself walking in the middle of a stream, pebble after pebble......
The pebbles in the stream are the most slippery!
Imagine yourself walking on the stone steps behind the mountain gate, step by step, step by step......
Perhaps remembering his daily experience of cleaning the stone gate, Wang Zhi walked extremely steadily this time, slowly descending the stone steps, and there was no accident such as stepping on the air.
Soon, Wang Zhi saw a hole appear again below, and when he stepped on the solid earth, his heart that had been mentioned for a long time finally relaxed.
Only then did he realize that the back of his robe was already damp, and beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping down the tip of his nose and falling to the rocky ground with a crisp ticking sound.
But fortunately, it finally landed safely.
Wang Zhi was glad, but he couldn't help but look into the cave entrance, wondering what kind of scene it was inside.
But who knew that he actually saw it......
A colorful tiger that has always been mighty!
The tiger was a man tall, four meters long, covered in spotted patterns, and the black king on its head resembled a crown.
And this tiger is only four steps away from Wang Zhi!
It can be said that as long as it wants to, it can pounce on Wang Zhi's body in an instant and feast on it.
In this case, Wang Zhi naturally didn't dare to move, for fear of annoying the white-fronted tiger.
And he also took a closer look, there was no chain on this tiger, and then he thought of the deer bone he encountered before, and the murderer was about to come out!
Wang Zhi's eyes were a little sour, and the urge to shed tears was difficult to suppress.
What's the matter with this tiger? After all, the forbidden land is full of vicious monks who are imprisoned?
As a result, the vicious monks all died, and their bodies were so dead that they could not die anymore except for bones and bones. As a result, there was a tiger walking in the forbidden land at will, so I could put a chain on it!
It stands to reason that Wang Zhi's current cultivation at the peak of the second layer of qi refining is not afraid of an ordinary tiger, but this colorful tiger does not look like an ordinary species.
Faintly, Wang Zhi could feel the confusion in the tiger's eyes, and the humanized emotion surprised him, but maybe it was just wondering why there was meat delivered to the door today, who knows?
By the way, Brother Sun Hu won't already ......
Thinking of this, Wang Zhi's face turned ugly.
Are we two brothers going to become the meat of this beast today?
Just when Wang Zhi was hesitating whether to fight to the death, a voice that he was extremely familiar with came from the pitch-black cave behind the colorful tiger.
"Eh, Brother Tiger, why are you still here? Did you come out to pee?"
The voice was thick, and when I heard it, I was full of energy, and I didn't think I had been hurt anything. Among the people Wang Zhi knows, there is only one person with this kind of voice.
"Sun Hu, is that you? Are you okay?" Wang Zhi shouted loudly into the cave, ignoring even the beast in front of him.
"Xiaozhi?" This sentence revealed joy in confusion, and then Wang Zhi saw a huge head and his five-size-three-thick body emerge from the dark cave.
"Brother Sun Hu!" Wang Zhigang wanted to go up and hug to celebrate this hard-won reunion, but when he saw the colorful tiger, his body suddenly stiffened, and he didn't dare to move anymore.
Instead, Sun Hu walked straight over and gave him a big hug.
"I've been looking for you up there for a long time, but I haven't found it. That's why I came here, and I met Brother Hu, and then ...... It won't let me go any further!, it's good to see you!"
Sun Hu hugged Wang Zhi's arms and tightened again, so that the latter's face was flushed, and he couldn't breathe smoothly.
"Ahem, Brother Tiger, what's going on?"
Wang Zhi looked at the colorful tiger who was suddenly lying on the ground on the side, and he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, combined with what Sun Hu said before, his face was full of question marks.
"Oh, this?" Sun Hu scratched the back of his head with his fan-sized palm and said, "I met Brother Tiger on it, and I was really shocked at first! It's just that after I got here, it wouldn't let me go down, so it was useless to say anything. ”
The colorful tiger opened its eyes slightly when it heard this, and closed it again after glancing at Sun Hu.
It's just that Wang Zhi seems to see it from that glance...... Contempt?
As for what Sun Hu said, Wang Zhi did see the stone steps extending downward, but he didn't know what was underneath, and he didn't want to know.
Sun Hu has found it, so there is no reason for it to continue.
It just so happened that Sun Hu thought the same thing, but he still didn't understand, shouldn't Wang Zhi be locked up somewhere? How could he run out by himself?
Wang Zhi had no choice but to explain the cause and effect to Sun Hu, from Zhao Qian lying that he was imprisoned in a forbidden place, and then designing to transfer the disciples who guarded the door, and finally how he beat Zhao Qian's villain, and finally found here.
During this period, Sun Hu said more than once that he must look good at Zhao Qian after going out, until he heard Wang Zhi say that he tied Zhao Qian to the forbidden place, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, that guy has today. I'll laugh at him when I see him!"
As if awakened by Sun Hu's laughter, the colorful tiger opened its eyes angrily and glared at Sun Hu, then held its head with its two front paws, covered its ears and continued to sleep.
"Let's go up! I really want to see that guy looking for teeth all over the ground, I can't wait!" Sun Hu became more and more energetic, and he took Wang Zhi's hand and was about to leave.
At this time, the colorful tiger had already given up the plan to sleep, and opened its eyes to look at Sun Hu and Wang Zhi, not knowing what to think.
"Stop, stop!" Wang Zhi hurriedly shouted to stop, signaling Sun Hu to be restless.
Sun Hu was a little confused, and he didn't know what Wang Zhi wanted to do here.
"Brother Sun Hu, our miscellaneous disciples have entered the forbidden land without permission, and according to the laws of the sect, we can abolish our cultivation and expel us from the mountain gate!"
As soon as Wang Zhi said this, Sun Hu's not very bright brain finally sobered up, and he instantly shook his head.
"That'...... What to do?"
Sun Hu didn't think so much when he came in at that time, because he was worried about Wang Zhi's safety, so he came in regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one.
But now if they want to get out, they have to think about it.
"I got a token from Elder Jin of the Treasure Pavilion, but this token is not omnipotent, who would believe that the elder would let a miscellaneous servant enter the forbidden land to do things? ”
Wang Zhi said word by word, but his words made Sun Hu even more anxious.
"We're in the forbidden land now, where can we find an outer disciple?"
Wang Zhi raised a finger, then bent it towards his face.
"What do you mean?" Sun Hu looked dazed.
When the colorful tiger heard this, he couldn't help but let out a helpless low roar in his throat.
And Wang Zhi was also a little helpless, but he could only explain patiently.
"I mean, I'm the outer disciple. ”
As soon as Sun Hu wanted to say what kind of outer disciple you are, he was interrupted by Wang Zhi in advance.
"If I can break through the third layer of Qi refining, I will be a quasi-outer disciple. Such an identity, used as a cover for entering the forbidden land, plus the elder's token, I think it is enough to ensure that the two of us will not be punished by the abolition of cultivation.
So, I'm going to go here again and break through to the third layer of Qi refining!"
Sun Hu was silent when he heard this, and only asked a question for a long time.
"Xiaozhi, are you sure?"
A flash of determination flashed on Wang Zhi's face, "I must be sure." ”
Wang Zhi was right, now that they were in a desperate situation, the only way to survive was for him to break through to the third layer of qi refining and become a quasi-outer disciple.
So even if he is not sure, he must be sure!
