Chapter Seventy-Nine: Two Days
The pit is bottomless, since Yi Chen and the others were attacked by the third-line black flame snake, they have been walking towards the bottom again for nearly two days, but they still haven't been able to reach the bottom place, which is enough to prove how powerful this meteorite that destroyed the entire Qingyang County is.
The further down the group went, the darker the space became, as if it could devour everything, and the protective light they had inspired with their own True Qi and True Yuan also dimmed in this darkness.
The dust that permeated the gray mist had become very thick, and the particles had accumulated together to form a cloud of dust like snowflakes, floating in the space densely and disorderly, and the slightest movement in the space would cause them to follow.
"Ahem... , whew..."
"Gollum...."
In the silent depths of the earth, a dry cough and a slight dry gasp sounded out of thin air, dry and without any moisture, followed by a rush of drinking water, which made people feel strange for a while.
"Damn, why is this place getting hotter and hotter, is there a fire vein down here?"
"I really doubt that there is indeed an earthfire vein down here, you can think about the situation we have encountered along the way, this possibility is indeed the greatest."
On the three-meter path, two muffled conversations sounded in the silence and haste of the long-term silence, breaking the silence again for a while.
The conversation between the two seemed to be indifferent, but it invisibly touched the heartstrings that were tense at every moment of casual cultivation, and the steps that each person stepped out of their feet were invariably paused for a moment.
"Hey, what a precious thing that is the Earth Fire Vein, if there is such a thing in this place where I don't know how deep, do you think the Invisible Gate and Qingyan Tower will let us in?"
"That's it, don't be stupid, you can see the power of that natural disaster, no matter how powerful the force is, it can't resist it, and it has destroyed all the earth fire veins in this area, how can there be now, and even if there is, do you think you can get your turn?"
"Tut, can't you still notice the current situation, if you continue like this, don't say that you can get the so-called anti-heaven fate in the rumors, and whether you can survive before that is still a question!"
As soon as the voices of the two seemingly conversing voices fell, the chuckle of the other two people was soon heard in the middle of the retreat, perhaps because of the dullness brought by the surrounding environment, or because they had been in this dark and oppressive atmosphere for a long time, and it could be noticed that there was no ridicule in their words, but more worry.
"I advise you not to speculate here, but the people of the invisible gate are right behind us, and if we hear such a boring conversation from you, we will have to stay here in the end."
But immediately after that, a Turbidity Pill Realm cultivator looked at the four people who were talking in a low voice with a warning in his eyes, so that each of them was silent for a moment, and they could only continue to walk deeper underground in silence.
After the siege and attack of the third-line black flame snake, there are not many cultivators at the peak of the innate peak among the group, and the only three people who are still relying on Yi Chen to break the blockade of the passage, and then use all their strength to come out of the collapsed passage, except for the three of them, the rest of the others have been buried in the cave with the third-line black flame snake, and now they don't know whether they are alive or dead.
With their cultivation, two days of continuous travel had made them descend again for an unknown number of distances, and the most obvious change in their senses was the never-ending darkness, and the other was that they could feel the unusual and amazing heat in the air as they breathed and breathed.
And this change in their senses suddenly strengthened every time they descended four hundred meters, and every time at this time, they couldn't help muttering in their hearts, wondering if the place they were in now was a huge furnace.
Now, the air that was already extremely hot and dry without the slightest moisture became even higher under the influence of the surrounding environment, and walking in this furnace-like environment, cultivators who had cultivated to the realm of a half-step turbidity pill could only isolate most of the heat, and it was difficult to completely resist it.
Once they want to bring the temperature below the highest point they can tolerate, they need to activate stronger protection to ensure this, but according to the current situation and the evolution of the situation, if this change still occurs in the next journey, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will be unable to sustain due to the excessive consumption of true qi in their bodies.
At that time, not only will their strength be greatly reduced, but once their own protection is weakened, in this environment, their physical bodies may suffer trauma that is difficult to recover.
What mortal realm cultivators gain in their uninterrupted cultivation is not only their powerful cultivation and strength, but more importantly, after experiencing the strong true qi and true yuan in their bodies that are tightly tied to their lives and constantly transforming, the physical enhancement and improvement they obtain from them can not only maintain their best cultivation body, but also allow them to quickly adapt to any harsh environment.
However, it takes a long time for the cultivation of the true qi and true element to strengthen the physical body of the practitioner to the same level as his own cultivation.
Only when a practitioner can break through the great realm within himself and be able to bring about the essential improvement of true qi and true element, can the practitioner himself rely on the high-quality true element that has been promoted again to obtain a leapfrog ascension in the physical body.
This is very easy to understand, the cultivation of the mortal realm absorbs the free heaven and earth aura from heaven and earth, and transforms it into true qi suitable for human cultivation, and this true qi will enhance and strengthen the various abilities of the practitioner's physical body to a certain extent when it enters the human body, which is the first strengthening from the true qi that the practitioner faces.
And when the cultivation of the mortal realm steps from the innate realm to the realm of the three dans, the essence and quality of the true qi are condensed and improved again, so as to form the high-level true yuan, it will also bring a great strengthening effect to the cultivator's physical body, and it is a kind of strengthening that is stronger than the true qi.
And once a practitioner enters the spirit from the mortal, the effect of this enhancement is far beyond the cultivation of the mortal realm, and the difference between the two can be said to be heavenly.
It's just that their strengthening ability is limited, which is one of the reasons why practitioners need to keep cultivating, and only by maintaining the strength of their own physical bodies can they achieve the greatest improvement in a limited time.
Although there is a practice of refining the body in the cultivation world, and the physical body of a cultivator who has practiced the body refining is much stronger than that of ordinary practitioners, the kind of cultivation method that takes a lot of time but has little effect is also spurned by more than ninety percent of the practitioners.
Cultivators like them are fine for a short period of time in the current environment, and they don't feel much about it, and if they stay and go deeper for a long time, and the changes in the environment are still intensifying, this change will inevitably affect themselves.
You must know that the cultivation of the mortal realm carries the word "mortal", because although the cultivators at this stage can master powerful cultivation and obtain powerful strength that ordinary people say cannot grasp, in the final analysis, they are still just a mortal, and they are still a mortal body in the flesh.
As long as they fail to penetrate the mystery of the mortal into the soul for a day, no matter how strong they are, they are only the most powerful among the mortals.
Since they are ordinary mortals, before their own cultivation has reached an extremely high level, and they have not been able to ignore the power of heaven and earth and the power of nature, they can only hope to retreat in the face of such a dangerous and difficult environment, or even flee.
Therefore, when they realize that their surroundings are still developing in a direction that they cannot bear, they will feel dead silence in the silent silence, and they will make each of them full of worry.
At this time, they no longer think about whether the rumored anti-heaven fate really exists, and they only hope that they can get rid of the current suffocating atmosphere as soon as possible.
If it weren't for the fatal shock brought to them by Liu Hong, who had an invisible door, and didn't show any worry, the dozens of scattered cultivators in this environment would probably have been unable to resist a long time ago.
......
Yi Chen's figure fell at the back of the scattered cultivation team, the injuries and breath on his body had recovered, and he walked quietly on the outermost side of the three-meter path, close to the edge of the bottomless pit cliff, without making any sound.
"Hey, it's here again, what's going on!?", until he noticed a few marks on the cliff face that were different from other places and a few darker colored dirt, he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise in his heart.
The places where the traces were located were also covered by a thick layer of gray dust, and the only difference between them and the rest of the place was that the gray dust was much thinner, only one-third of the thickness of the rest of the three-meter trail.
These marks are not only present at the edge of the cliff wall of the three-meter path, but also occasionally appear in a few places on the rock wall on the inner side of the three-meter path, and they are very obvious beast palm marks and paw prints.
Because the dirt around the palm marks and paw prints has a noticeable color difference with them, it can be seen and judged that they were traces that were left not long ago.
And these traces are not only very chaotic, but also show a bit of panic and disorder in the chaos, giving people the feeling of facing some powerful existence that they all fear.
This discovery alone may not fully fit this possible speculation, but once combined with several other darker colored dirt scattered on the ground, Yi Chen can be sure that his guess is more than seventy percent true.
The darker clay edged out with dark black dust and dust that had for some reason solidified into a small pit that had sunk into a pit that had left behind not anything but the ashes of something left behind by the burning of the flames, occasionally mixed with a few bones as black as black charcoal.
If he had never seen the scene of the Crimson Flame burning the corpse of a cultivator, Yi Chen would probably still be confused by this, but after witnessing the Crimson Flame's terrifying power that was almost comparable to the Earth Fire a few times, he had already obtained the most appropriate answer just by paying attention.
In addition, two days had passed since they got rid of the entanglement of the third-line black flame snake, and during this time, they had not encountered any fierce beasts again, which was obviously different from the state of the invisible door and others who had always been vigilant and guarded.
