Chapter 101 Dungeon 5

Of course, this underground cave cannot be as huge as the original Zhensoul Yuan in Gaoling Mountain, basically according to the place where the current fire shines, Shen Shi estimates that this is just a big hole several zhang high, and in some marginal corners, you can still see that the rock wall soil layer is actually not very solid, and in some places there are even stones and broken soil falling on the rope, filling a lot of space.

However, as long as you think that the cave in front of you is not naturally generated, but is likely to be drilled out by a monster, then the size of this monster is quite impressive. But luckily, it seems that the monster didn't show any interest in Shen Shi Xiaohei's seemingly weak creatures, at least just now, and it was just desperately hitting the demon suppression pillar from beginning to end, and it seemed that the idea of escaping trumped everything else.

At this moment, the unknown monster didn't know where it went, the huge cave was empty, Shen Shi searched for Zhong Qinglu but didn't find it, and his heart became more and more worried.

The cavern stretched out in the darkness, and it looked like the massive monster had fled from here and in the direction of the front, oblivious to everything around it, leaving only an empty tunnel. After pondering for a long time, Shen Shi finally decided to take the risk and look for it.

The fire in the darkness burned quietly, and it was exceptionally bright in this underground cavern, but the darkness beyond the firelight was also extraordinarily deep and pitch black, and there was always a feeling that there was some peeping eye in the depths of the darkness. Xiao Hei also kept quiet and followed Shen Shi's feet, while his eyes were level with the front, and occasionally he would look up and smell the air here, and he seemed to be a little vigilant.

The ground is not easy to walk, and potholes, including large and small rockfalls and mounds everywhere, make it difficult for them to walk, and they will have to climb for a while to overcome these obstacles. If it weren't for the fact that the terrain here was unknown, it was really not suitable to use the Falling Snow Sword to fly forward, and Shen Shi really had the urge to take out the Falling Snow Sword.

However, no matter how difficult the road is, as long as you work hard, there will eventually be a moment when you will go through difficulties, and after climbing high and low for almost half an hour, Shen Shi suddenly found by the light of the fire that the ground of the cave in front of him was suddenly flattened.

The reason why the appearance was flat was because a large flat stone suddenly appeared under his feet, including the area around the cave, which seemed to have suddenly leveled out a lot. Shen Shi's footsteps paused, his eyes were not happy but worried, and the color of vigilance became a little stronger.

In the depths of the earth, if there are suddenly traces of artificially repaired buildings, then in addition to the legendary demon dungeon, he really can't think of other possibilities, but the demon dungeon has always been an extremely dangerous place, and even such a huge force as the Immortal Society has to concentrate manpower and material resources for many years to unlock a corner of this underground labyrinth, not to mention, in the legend that in this incomparably huge demon dungeon, there are countless vicious monsters and ghosts hidden.

The wisest thing to do at the moment is, of course, to turn around and go, although it was dark just now, there was no real danger from beginning to end, as long as you returned to the place where you just fell, and then tried to use the Snow Falling Sword to fly upwards, this may be the most effective way out.

It's just that...... Along the way, Zhong Qinglu was still nowhere to be seen.

Where had she gone, and what had happened in that dark hour?

Shen Shi stood in place and pondered for a while, feeling a dilemma in his heart. It stands to reason that if Zhong Qinglu was still in a coma, then she would not have fallen so far after falling into the cave, but if she came to her senses, why did she disappear so silently?

Shen Shi couldn't understand this, and the only thing he could barely explain after thinking about it might be that the monster just now took Zhong Qinglu away alone for some reason. But even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't figure out why that monster would notice Zhong Qinglu?

After hesitating for a while, Shen Shi gritted his teeth, if he turned back, he still wouldn't be able to pass the level in his heart after all. And if he and Zhong Qinglu have been missing for a long time, Master and Uncle Yunni, the two great people of the Yuan Dan Realm, should also notice something.

Shen Shi perked up, exhaled lightly, raised the fireball in his hand a few points, and then continued to walk forward.

At the same time, Shen Shi soon found more and more signs of artificial repair, although he could still see those gravel and dirt piled up on the ground everywhere, but it seemed that he was walking in a road that had been built by his predecessors but had been abandoned for a long time.

As he walked, there was also a dead silence in this corridor, the firelight illuminated the surroundings and the front and back directions, and suddenly in front, a tall shadow imprinted into Shen Shi's eyes.

Shen Shi was taken aback and stopped, but the black shadow in front of him didn't move, it seemed that it was just shaking with the shadow of the firelight, and the body was still standing there quietly. Shen Shi took a closer look and found that there seemed to be a stone tablet a foot high, so he walked over carefully.

Walking closer, under the light of the fire, Shen Shi found that this stele was gray all over and had a hard texture, but there was not much pattern decoration, to be precise, it was actually equivalent to cutting a piece of Shicai into a long shape and inserting it directly into the soil layer, but other than that, there was a blank, nothing.

He frowned and looked up and down at the wordless stele, but he couldn't see anything strange, and then shook his head slightly, thinking that under the dungeon of this demon clan, there were some weirdness that he didn't know, and it shouldn't be strange, so he didn't care about it, bypassed this stele, and continued to walk forward.

It's just that when he walked past this stone tablet, he suddenly swept the back of the stone tablet out of the corner of his eye, but found that there seemed to be a line carved on the backlit stone surface, and immediately stopped and looked carefully, and after a while, he saw clearly the row of words engraved on the stone tablet, which seemed to be a little beginningless and endless:

This place is 800 zhang away from the diamond.

※※※

Diamond?

What is a diamond? Could it be a strange stone in the spiritual material?

After Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, his mind spun rapidly, and he began to recall everything he knew before, but he soon determined that at least among the many spiritual materials he knew, there was no such strange stone as diamond. But if it's not a spiritual stone, what kind of diamond would it be?

This stele was obviously built by the ancients, but it must have an unknown meaning when it was so isolated and stood deep underground.

Shen Shi stared at this sentence, racking his brains to think about it, but after thinking about it, he also thought of anything related to diamonds anyway, but later, he suddenly thought that he seemed to have heard a long time ago that in the Buddhist lineage of the Zhenlong Temple, there seemed to be such a thing as King Kong, but obviously it was completely different from diamond.

What the hell is going on...... Shen Shi couldn't figure it out, but it was obviously not a wise move to spend a long time on this stone tablet, so Shen Shi thought about it for a long time but couldn't understand it, so he turned around, hesitated for a moment, and continued to walk forward.

The stele soon disappeared in the shadows behind him, as if it had never been seen before, buried in silence and solitude deep underground.

The darkness around seemed to be a little deeper.

The silence seemed to come from all directions, except for the footsteps echoing in this corridor from time to time, Shen Shi suddenly found that he seemed to be able to hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

It was a very bad feeling, which made Shen Shi have a moment of trance, but fortunately, at this time, Xiao Hei suddenly opened his mouth and snorted.

It's better than anything to have another voice beside me. Shen Shi's originally somewhat weird mood quickly calmed down, and he glanced at Xiao Hei walking beside him, with a look of relief in his eyes, but it didn't take long for him and Xiao Hei to stop almost at the same time.

Because in front of them, a fork in the road ahead.

The passage on the right hand side was dark, and the passage on the left hand side was equally deep, but after a moment of careful observation, a faint light seemed to flicker in the depths of that direction.

Other than that, everything was still silent, only the light of the fire shone on Shen Shi and Xiao Hei's bodies.

Which of the two roads should we take?

What does that stele warning about diamonds mean?
