Chapter 19: Into the Rock Crevices Secret Passage to Find the Python
Tian Ze traveled all the way to the west for more than four miles, but it was still barren everywhere, and people were also dry when they left, so they muttered: "Damn, I knew to bring some dry food and drinking water, according to what the red ghost brother said, why haven't you seen the rock vein." ”
Tian Ze looked around and found a low forest a hundred zhang away from the northwest, so he walked there, thinking that maybe he could find a waterhole to quench his thirst.
I had just walked there less than ten zhang and suddenly found a red snake-like creature coming out of the low forest, about three zhang long, because of the size comparable to the thickness of a wine bowl, the speed of squirming forward was not fast, and the head seemed to be sticking to a white velvet object.
Tian Ze picked up Yuan Li and tore his steps and rushed towards the direction of the dwarf forest, Yuan Li carried through his footsteps and meridians, his body was as light as a swallow, and he was only less than twenty zhang away from the dwarf forest after a while.
Tian Ze looked at the traces left by the creature wriggling on the ground just now, it should have gone to the southwest, and there was still dark red blood left on the ground, which was probably the prey that was preyed on just now.
Tian Ze thought to himself: "Look at the appearance of the desolate beast just now, it should be a snake, coming out to hunt." Hmm? Red, this should not be far from the rock vein crack that the red ghost brother said, and the blood should not be so dark red when it just landed, could it be poisoned? It seems that luck is good, this must be the haunt of the red flame poisonous python. ”
Tian Ze thought to himself that since he had found this Red Flame Poisonous Python, he was not in a hurry to chase it, anyway, he should be able to find the hiding place of the Red Flame Poisonous Python soon by following the traces of movement on the ground, so as not to startle the snake and be self-defeating.
Tian Ze first leaned into the low forest.
At this time, the three people who followed Tianze had just passed a hill and ravine, and the three of them were more cautious and did not follow closely so they did not see the red serpentine creature, and found that Tianze had entered the dwarf forest and then retreated back to the slope to watch the movement, and after a while, a burst of fragrance wafted from the dwarf forest, and the man named Zijing was salivating.
He snorted coldly and said: "This kid is quite good at enjoying it, the uncle is guarding this cat's waist, he has this Yaxing to eat barbecue, hum!"
The other person next to him, who hadn't spoken for a long time, just replied coldly at this time: "Croak..."
These words entered the ears of the man named Zijing, but they were particularly harsh, and he couldn't help but raise the bar at the moment: "Chen Xuan, if you don't like to listen, continue to pretend to be your grandson, no one will talk to you!"
Chen Xuan didn't speak after hearing this, just squinted at him, and Qiu Zijing ignored him.
"You ...," the man named Zijing couldn't hold his breath and said a little louder.
"Qiu Zijing, why don't you make it louder?!Do you want that kid to know that someone is following?" the man surnamed Luo glared and reprimanded.
"I..." Qiu Zijing looked at the man in front of him, knowing the ruthlessness under his handsome face, and this person had always been favored by his master, so he had to scruple about it, so he snorted coldly and stopped talking.
At this time, Tian Ze had also eaten and drunk enough, he wiped the oil juice from the corners of his mouth and got up and walked out of the low forest, slowly following the traces on the ground to the southwest, and after a while, the three of them also followed.
Tian Ze followed the traces of movement left on the ground and traveled in the southwest direction for another mile or so, there was no way ahead, and there was a raised rock wall in front of him, which stretched south without end.
The surface near the rock wall is a number of hard gravel with no visible traces on the ground.
Tian Ze scratched his head, looked left and right, and muttered: "Strange, the trace is broken when it comes to this place, is it possible that you can still go away?"
After thinking about it for a long time, Tian Ze didn't have a clue, so he could only approach the rock wall and investigate inch by inch to see what was wrong.
Tian Ze explored south along the rock wall for a while, and found that there was a stone gap on the rock wall that was only large enough for people to enter sideways, and the interior was pitch black, so it could not be found from a distance.
Tian Ze carefully investigated the rocks at the mouth of the rock crevice, and found that there were some slight scratches on the left and right sides near the ground, and there were more trivial rock chips on the ground here than in other places, which were obviously caused by the friction of objects.
Tian Ze thought to himself: "According to the rock vein fissure five miles away that the red ghost brother said before, and then look at the characteristics of the location and rock crevice of this rock vein, the wild beast that looked like the red flame poisonous python before should have entered and exited from here, since I came, I will go in first to see, and I don't know what a spectacular scene this vein magma is." ”
Tian Ze thought about it and tried to enter the gap sideways, and after moving sideways for a while, he found that this gap was really a little narrow, and if he was stronger, he would definitely not be able to enter it.
Tian Ze observed the rocks on the crevice rock wall while climbing, and found that some of the rocks on the rock wall were very hard, and the body was painful, and there were a lot of bubbles on it, and some were soft, like igneous rocks gushing out after a volcanic eruption.
It can be concluded that there must be a main trunk or tributary of the leyline molten under the vein connected by this gap, and the entire uplifted rock wall outside should also be formed by extrusion and collision during the activity of the leyline.
Tian Ze walked along the rock crevice for about half an hour, and the rock crevice trend was getting steeper and steeper, but fortunately, the space in the gap gradually widened, and he could already turn around.
Tian Ze supported the rock wall with one hand and walked forward, and with the other hand, he took out a fire fold and blew it forward, and the speed was much faster than before.
As Tianze gradually deepened, the surrounding temperature gradually rose, and it seemed that it was almost to the location of the leyline molten lava.
The three of them followed to the rock vein and hid behind a big rock, and when they saw that Tianze had entered the rock crevice, it had been almost half an hour, and the man surnamed Luo stared at the rock crevice for a while, and said: "Qiu Zijing, you go into the rock crevice to investigate, and see if that kid has something to gain, you can solve him, and if not, kill him." ”
Qiu Zi glanced at Chen Xuan with respect, and the man surnamed Luo smiled knowingly and added: "That gap is too narrow, so your figure can be smooth, we should respond outside, that kid looks like a mediocre cultivator, at most no more than a monk in the fusion period, take your cultivation as a casual one." ”
Although Qiu Zijing knew that the man surnamed Luo was deliberately excluded and let him do all the hard work, he had to put a hot face on his cold buttocks, nodded and got up and walked towards the rock crevice.
Because Tian Ze's cultivation is not yet at the realm where Yuan Li can protect his body, he can't isolate the external heat from his body, so he is already sweating profusely, and the temperature on the rock wall is already a little hot step by step, and even the palm of his right hand supporting the rock wall has been scalded with some blisters.
But seeing that he was concentrating and calming, he made a strange handprint on his left hand, and there were words in his mouth: "Out of the slender, into the underworld, preaching in the air, the mind is clear, the void is silent, there is nothing, quiet!"
After a while, a cold wind arose on the ground, and there was a chill all around Tianze's body, and beads of sweat no longer frequently overflowed on his forehead.
Tian Ze breathed a long sigh of relief: "Whew, fortunately, this spell works, otherwise it will be steamed into jerky before it reaches the ground." ”
After that, Tian Ze tore off two pieces of rags from the hem of the white shirt he was wearing, wrapped them around his right hand to prevent the palm of his hand from being burned by the rock wall, and after the preparation, Tian Ze continued to walk down the rock crevice.
Speaking of Qiu Zijing's side, because of his tall and thin figure, his legs should be slightly bent when he is rampant, so as not to hit his head on the top of the rock, and when he moves horizontally, he is like a crab with feet.
Qiu Zijing had just moved to the place where the gap was widening, and suddenly a cold wind blew in front of him, he settled his mind and did not move forward for the time being, but he thought in his heart: "I feel that the trend of this rock crack should lead down to the depths of the earth's leylines, how can there be a cold wind blowing, and it gives people a desolate feeling, it is really strange." That's it, maybe there is a piercing wind formed by interlacing with other cracks leading to the outside, or go down first to see if the kid finds the red flame python. ”
Qiu Zijing walked into the depths along the gap again, but the further down he went, the hotter it became, although he could isolate a lot of heat after his Yuan Li was released, he could still feel that the temperature around him was rising.
Because it was also a big drain for him to maintain the Yuan Force and release the protective body, and being in this leyline rift, he could not absorb the pure Heaven and Earth Yuan Force from the outside world and transform it into his own Yuan Force, so he accelerated his foot in order to catch up with Tianze faster to complete his task.
