Chapter 70: The Gate of the Underworld (Part II)
"Brother Yun, be careful!"
Nangong Jian reminded Yunxiao to pay attention to safety, this time Yunxiao put on the Xuanling armor given to him by Shibo Zhenyang Heavenly Master, and activated the Five Elements Shield, only then did he hold the jade talisman in his hand and walked forward cautiously.
Not far ahead, there was a humanoid thing sitting in a stone cave at the turn of the passage that was not too deep, the stone cave was about one person high, three or four feet deep, Yunxiao walked closer, only to find a person whose face was burned by the demon fire could not be seen clearly, and the other party was still holding a gray self-defense jade talisman that had lost its effect.
In order to see the situation of the dead person in front of him clearly, Yunxiao used the lighting technique to release a ball of light the size of a fist emitting white light, and with the light, he found that the person in front of him was not dead, and he was about to cast a healing spell, but was stopped by Yan Wushuang who suddenly arrived.
"Brother Yun, be careful!" Yan Wushuang said and took out a talisman and pasted it on the strange monk, then took out the awakening talisman, recovered the talisman, and also pasted it on the strange monk after casting the spell.
Soon, when Nangong Jian came to Yunxiao and Yan Wushuang's side, the strange monk opened his eyes:
"Chief, don't kill me, I don't want to die! Don't kill me, little master, run, don't look back!"
The strange monk was in a trance, and shouted hoarsely, as if he wanted to struggle desperately, but his breath became weaker and weaker. Yunxiao suddenly only grabbed the strange monk's hands, and a powerful blood force poured into the other party's body.
Soon the strange monk opened his eyes again, and this time there was a little more sparkle in his eyes:
"Thank you, little brother, don't wear down the true yuan, I know I can't live, please do something for me before I die!"
"Old man, you say?"
"My name is Huoying Zhurong, my little master is rushing here, his name is Huoman? Zhurong, he is the descendant of the fire god Zhu Rong who has the bloodline of the fire god Zhu Rong. Zhu Rong said this, paused for a moment, and trembled and took out something from his arms, a fist-sized red crystal: "Please give this Fire God Crystal to my little master, little brother, you have the ability to open the natural bloodline, I think you can easily find my little master." Help me pass a word to my little master, the patriarch betrayed, betrayed ......"
Zhu Rong died before he could finish his last words, and after his death, his body turned into a flame and floated in front of the clouds, revealing his true face in the flames, an old man with a white beard.
"Little brother, thank you for helping me fulfill my wish, I sensed that you have a fire spirit dzi on your body, so let me help you open the true power of this dzi!"
After Zhu Rong finished speaking, the spirit of the flame form submerged into the fire spirit bead ring on Yunxiao's finger, and then the fire spirit bead shot out a beam of light to form a flame pattern, and in this flame pattern, a treasure bead suspended above the flame lake was displayed.
With the appearance of this flame pattern, a person completely formed by flames appeared in front of Yunxiao, Nangong Jian and Yan Wushuang, and the three of them heard the flame man say:
"Master, please go to the Fire Spirit Pool of the Southern Zhurong Clan's former residence to find the Fire Spirit Bead, and I will help you fight before this!"
Yunxiao looked at the fire spirit that had turned on the spiritual wisdom in front of him and returned to the fire spirit bead on his finger, Nangong Jian and Yan Wushuang looked at Yunxiao with some envy, and saw Yunxiao scratching the back of his head vigorously.
"Brother Nangong, Sister Yan, why are you looking at me like this?"
"There are really a lot of good things on your little guy, Xuanling armor, many monks in the Heavenly Immortal Realm rarely have one; the Divine Calling Dzi is even rarer, and many medium-sized sects may not be able to get one; you also have one of the rare spirit birds that can restrain ghosts, Brother Nangong, I really don't know if there are any good things that you don't have!"
Nangong Jian didn't expect that Yunxiao's good luck was said by him, and the magical heaven and earth spiritual objects that Yunxiao found one after another in the future were enough to make the gods of the heavenly realm blush.
At this time, Yan Wushuang was in the place where Fire Eagle Zhu Rong disappeared, and after injecting mana, a map appeared, and when the three of them saw the place shown on the map, they recognized at a glance that the map was the underground where they were located.
Judging from what this map shows, the place where Yunxiao and them are is still far from the place where the Fire Eagle Zhu Rong said that the Fire God Zhu Rong clan has reached. The three of them didn't understand how the monster and the fire god Zhurong clan could reach hundreds of miles deep in just two days, according to the map, there were fire pools, ice caves, dangerous underground rivers, all kinds of ghosts, and monsters' lairs in front of them.
According to the estimation of the three of them, even if a great cultivator like the Beggar Immortal Xu Jian and the Cloud Emperor joined forces, they might not be able to reach the entrance of the Gate of the Underworld, the deepest part of the underground.
"Brother Nangong, Sister Yan, do we still want to move forward?"
"I think we should go find a place to take a look, maybe there's something out there that we don't know about the teleportation array!"
Nangong Jian pointed to a swirl-shaped place on the map and said, Yunxiao and Yan Wushuang realized that there were many similar symbols on the map. The whirlpool closest to them would be at least two days away at the pace they had been moving at before.
The three of them once again embarked on the road to the gate of the underworld, at this time, the beggar fairy Xu Jian swung his sword and killed several monsters, passed through a portal, and arrived at a cave full of ghost pawns, and a bizarre scene appeared, these ghost pawns actually fell to the ground after seeing the beggar fairy Xu Jian.
On the ground, the Cloud Emperor returned to Fengdu and found the Northern Xuan Sword Saint to discuss the existence of the Demon Realm, the Underworld, and the existence of powerful ancient magic weapons. After hearing this, the Northern Xuan Sword Saint invited Li Nanxing, the great monk of the Immortal Sword Sect, to discuss, and the three of them decided to immediately inform the ten major sects headed by the Kunlun Immortal Palace of the news.
Underground, Yunxiao watched Nangong Jian kill more than ten crypt spiders with Sancai sword qi, pursed his lips, and said depressedly:
"Brother Nangong, you can't leave a few for me to play with!"
Nangong Jian, Yan Wushuang heard Yunxiao's child's words, smiled, and continued to walk forward. The more they walked, the larger the space became, and it seemed that there were glowing things on top of the underground space, and gradually the lighting lanterns they released became redundant.
"Brother Nangong, our previous judgment seems to be wrong, this place is still a few months away from the mark of that whirlpool!"
After two consecutive days of travel, the three of them walked out at least a hundred miles, and seeing the underground space in front of them getting bigger and bigger, they already understood that the space shown on the map was far beyond their estimates.
"Yes, Brother Yun, the strength of the monsters underground is about the same as ours now, it is estimated that the monsters behind are stronger than us, we had better not rush forward, before we find a safe way to get there, we had better stay here for the time being, while cultivating, while hunting monsters! Brother Yun, what do you think?"
When Nangong Jian and Yan Wushuang had encountered it in the past few days, they had already accepted the fact that they could not return to Kunlun Immortal Palace, and their future was uncertain, and they decided to stay underground and take risks, which was much better than returning to the ground to be hunted down.
"I think so too, Master, I haven't mastered the lifelong cultivation experience left to me by my uncle, let's stay here, there is a river in front, and there are a few caves that are big enough near here, let's stay well, I hope Master can come back soon!"
The humans of the Kyushu Continent did not know that at this moment, the deep abyss was as high as thousands of zhang of bronze as if the wall had opened a door, and this door was engraved with all kinds of powerful ghost things, Huangquan ghost crows were impressively listed, ghost dragons, and Hades were also listed.
As this gate opened, a powerful Yin and Netherworld Qi continued to pour out, and soon the space in front of the gate was filled with this Yin and Netherworld Qi, and there were constantly ghost pawns, ghost generals and ghost kings appearing from the Yin and Netherworld Qi.
As the Yin Qi gathered more and more, it gradually began to spread in all directions of the underground world where they were located. In the huge underground space, underground mountains, dark rivers, mires, beast dens, monsters are everywhere, there are several underground volcanoes and, a deep and terrible underground rift, the most strange thing is that there is a tall snowy mountain near the rift, the height of the snow mountain and the depth of the rift are comparable, and it is also the most important place in the underground world.
A huge altar is next to the rift valley and the Great Snow Mountain, and in the center of the altar there is a magic sword with a purple body and a zhang long, this magic sword is the Demon Realm's supreme treasure ancient magic weapon from hatred, and more than ten zhang away near this magic sword, there is a pure black three-foot long sword on a sword platform, this long sword is the Xuanyin Wuji Sword, one of the seven-star swords mentioned by the True Yang Taiji Sword.
Thirty feet away from the two swords, stood a black giant ten feet high, this giant was tightly bound to a pillar by a large number of silver chains. The giant's eyes were pierced by two daggers, and the same daggers were stuck in various joints and important parts of his body.
The giant writhed in pain, and a large amount of black blood flowed from the wound on his body, which was sucked in by a basin-shaped purple vessel at the giant's feet. As the blood accumulated, it eventually spread to a specially left gap on the edge of the purple vessel, and the blood that flowed from the gap flowed into the stone groove that had already been carved on the altar floor with the thickness of a finger, and the blood slowly flowed along the regular stone groove to the place where the primeval magic weapon was.
Around the sword platform where the Xuanyin Wuji Sword was located, twelve descendants of the burly Fire God Zhu Rong clan formed a circle of several zhang with the sword platform as the center, and there were also many blood-red daggers inserted in their bodies, and what flowed out of the wounds on their bodies was not ordinary blood, but incomparably hot blood burning with flames.
These blazing flame blood were sucked in by a pale green orb directly above the sword platform, and finally turned into green flame blood and slowly dripped onto the Xuanyin Wuji Sword one by one;
Will the three of them be able to escape before the aura of the Netherworld fills the entire underworld?
