Chapter 100: The Underground Palace 4
Chapter 100 Underground Palace 4
Although the body was softer than expected, avoiding the doom of falling from a high place and shattering his bones, as his body sank rapidly, the strange thing below in the darkness soon showed a strange tenacity, quickly pulling Shen Shi's falling momentum, and then jumping violently, actually bouncing his whole person to the sky again.
This shock was not trivial, Shen Shideng spun around, and in the confusion, his hand was suddenly light, and Zhong Qinglu, who had been unconscious and was caught in his arms, was actually separated from him.
Shen Shi was taken aback and rolled over in mid-air to grab it, but at this moment, the force around him was unusually large, and he could barely control his body, and at the same time, the soft and very tough giant thing below him seemed to feel something, and suddenly moved again, and moved violently somewhere in the darkness.
Before Shen Shi could react, he was affected by an aftermath, and he was immediately knocked out again. This time the collision was really not light, it flew out of a distance and slammed into the uneven wall, only to hear the sound of banging, Shen Shi's eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.
And was suddenly blocked by the mountain-like monster in the darkness, Zhong Qinglu's figure had long disappeared in the dark, and Shen Shi himself fell weakly in a dark corner, only listening to the noise and roar in the depths of the underground, and the monster in the darkness somehow managed to disappear into the darkness.
After the monster left, the underground cave quickly became very quiet, and Shen Shi listened intently in place for a while, and made sure that the mysterious monster had left. Maybe it's because this underground cavern has just been excavated by the monster, so the air is still fresh, but I always feel that there is a strange smell in the air, maybe it's the breath of the monster?
Shen Shi didn't know, but he didn't care about these at the moment, of course, the top priority was to find Zhong Qinglu and Xiao Hei first, and he also faintly thought of one thing at the moment, isn't the demon clan underground palace that has been rumored in Hongcheng for many years to be under this Qinglong Mountain?
However, what relieved Shen Shi a little was that at least until now, he still hadn't noticed any other demon beasts or ghosts or anything like that approaching, thinking about the top of this place, it should be almost near the Demon Suppression Pillar, maybe ...... In addition to the power on the ground, even if it is deep underground, the Demon Pillar may also have the ability to deter nearby ghosts and monsters?
With this glimmer of hope, Shen Shi slowly stood up, first checked himself, and found that he was lucky that he was basically not seriously injured, at most there were a few skin and flesh scratches, which were not in the way.
This discovery made him feel a little relieved, and if he was like this, maybe Zhong Qinglu and Xiao Hei also had hope of surviving safely.
Standing up straight and looking around, Shen Shi found that almost everywhere he could see was darkness, at most, in the place closest to him, he could faintly feel the shadows of some large and small stones. He almost subconsciously looked up and looked up, where he fell, but at this moment even the top of his head was pitch black, the cave where he originally fell, I don't know if he fell too deep, or there was a zigzag turn in the fall, but at this time the hole was not visible.
Almost subconsciously, Shen Shi's mind suddenly recalled the scene under the Soul Suppression Abyss in Gaoling Mountain, when he and Xiao Hei fell into the sea of bones, there was also such a deep and boundless darkness under the Soul Suppression Abyss.
It's just that in the sea of bones back then, because of the accumulation of bones in the endless years, a little phosphorus fire was born, so after the eyes adjusted to the darkness, some light could still be seen, but at this time, there was really no light in the ground, and nothing could be seen.
Maybe it was because he fell into the abyss twice, and the scene in front of him was somewhat similar, which reminded Shen Shi of the terrifying scene of the ten thousand ghosts howling under the soul suppression abyss that day, it was not a pleasant memory, Shen Shi took a deep breath, shook his head and shook off those somewhat disturbing thoughts.
He stood in the darkness and listened carefully for a while, but there was no sound, and there seemed to be a dead silence everywhere in this dark underground world. After a moment of silence, Shen Shi whistled and immediately stepped back, keeping a distance from where he had just stood.
However, his caution was not confirmed by any danger, but not far from the darkness ahead, a low hum sounded a very familiar sound, it was Xiao Hei's voice.
Shen Shi was suddenly overjoyed, almost instinctively feeling a sense of relief, almost most of the time over the years, Xiao Hei has been by his side, born and died, he has always been a human and a pig, and the relationship between the two is really stronger than anything else.
Without any hesitation, Shen Shi raised his hand and directly released a fireball. The sudden light of the fire suddenly illuminated the surrounding place, dispelling a large area of darkness, and also saw that the surrounding area was full of falling rocks and large and small stones, and the ground and surrounding stone walls were also full of potholes, and there were traces of fresh fractures in many places, which looked like a cave that had just been excavated.
At the same time, there was nothing unusual around the underground cavern, not even the screams of small animals and bugs, and everything still seemed very quiet.
Xiao Hei's voice suddenly became louder, and it didn't take long for a black shadow to come out from the front, and ran to Shen Shi's side with a smoke, his head came over, and he rubbed twice on his leg, it was Xiao Hei.
Shen Shi laughed, squatted down and touched its head, and then hurriedly checked Xiao Hei's body, and after groping for a while, Shen Shi sighed twice, patted Xiao Hei's head lightly, and said, "You still have rough skin and thick meat." ”
With such a big movement falling, the pig looks unscathed, which is also staggering. However, after letting go of half of his thoughts, the other half of Shen Shi's thoughts were raised again, this fireball went out, and Xiao Hei's appearance was gratifying, but what about Zhong Qinglu?
Shen Shi looked around, but found that there was no Zhong Qinglu anywhere the light could reach. The woman looked as if she had disappeared silently into the dark underworld.
Shen Shi's face was a little ugly, and he fell silent, if it was according to common sense, the most important thing he should do at this moment was, of course, to take out the Falling Snow Sword, use the sword technique to try to go back from above, if it was possible to get out, it was the right way to find the elders of the sect to come over and rescue him as soon as possible. But in this way, Zhong Qinglu was left alone in this dangerous underground, and Shen Shi clearly remembered that when the two of them fell, Zhong Qinglu was already stunned under the power of the monster.
If you don't find her as soon as possible, once the time drags on for a long time, this underground may be connected to the legendary demon labyrinth, and it will be extremely dangerous.
This choice is dangerous and unpredictable, but Shen Shi did not hesitate for too long, he was silent for a moment, then gently patted Xiao Hei's head and whispered to it:
"Let's go find Qinglu, okay?"
Xiao Hei raised his head and glanced at Shen Shi, there was a strange look in his eyes, but there was no squeak.
※※※
The flames lit up and slowly burned on Shen Shi's palms, pulling out two slender shadows behind him and Xiao Hei. Shen Shi took Xiao Hei and carefully searched in this underground cave, but the ground here was full of rubble and soil, which was very difficult to walk, and he climbed high and low all the way, and let Shen Shi search every corner nearby, but he didn't see Zhong Qinglu's figure.
It was as if she was really gone.
Shen Shi's heart slowly sank as the search time grew, for some reason, there was a strange sense of anxiety and irritability in his heart, an inexplicable worry slowly rose from the bottom of his heart, and even while he was still walking, he suddenly remembered some past events that he thought he had forgotten a long time ago.
In those teenage years on Qingyu Island, there were still some white and chubby girls back then, and he went from bickering to acquaintance, to that misunderstanding to that transaction, for some reason, suddenly came to mind.
It turned out that he still remembered the original memory, and he never forgot it at all.
