Chapter 177: Demon Cave
. These reactions of the shopkeeper and the guy of the spirit beast shop, Zhao Zhen and Mei Ji naturally didn't know. Soon after Zhao Zhen left the spirit beast shop, a burly black-clothed young man stepped on a flying sword and appeared above the spirit beast shop with five guards, and one of these guards turned out to be the out-of-body ** building guard who fought with Zhao Zhen in the inn that day, and finally fled in panic.
Looking at the shopkeeper and the guy of the spirit beast shop who hurriedly came out to greet him expressionlessly, the man in black stood condescendingly on top of the flying sword, and asked the shopkeeper of the spirit beast shop: "You said that Mei Ji has been here?"
After listening to the words of the man in black, the shopkeeper hurriedly replied respectfully: "Back to the young landlord, Mei Ji came here with a man just now, and also bought hundreds of purple-pupiled rats!"
After the shopkeeper finished answering, a hint of gloom flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and he asked in a deep voice where Mei Ji left, until the shopkeeper was busy reporting the direction where Zhao Zhen and Mei Ji went, and the man in black flew with five guards in the direction where Zhao Zhen and Mei Ji left.
At the same time, Zhao Zhen, Mei Ji and the five living puppets appeared next to a cave where a huge stone tablet stood, quietly looking at the words on the stone tablet. On the stele, the three blood-red characters of the Demon Cave are impressively visible, the font is vigorous and powerful, faintly revealing a murderous aura, and there are only a few old trees and withered vines around, and occasionally withered and fallen pieces of yellow leaves, which makes people feel a little chilly.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Zhen shifted his gaze to Mei Ji, and finally asked with a solemn face: "This place is extremely dangerous, do you really want to go in with me?"
After listening to Zhao Zhen's words, Mei Ji's delicate face bloomed with a relaxed smile, and she nodded heavily. Subsequently, the two and the five living puppets entered the Demon Cave in a different manner.
However, not long after Zhao Zhen and Mei Ji entered the Demon Cave, the figure of the man in black and the five guards appeared at the entrance of the Demon Cave, and after thinking for a moment, they finally did not follow up, but stayed outside the entrance of the cave. The Demon Cave is a Demon Gate Jedi, and all demon cultivators avoid it, and the man in black is also afraid of it.
After Zhao Zhen and Mei Ji entered the Demon Cave, they both moved forward cautiously, for fear of touching the mechanism. A little black gas continued to pour out of the cave, and occasionally a faint light green beam floated through, making the cave extremely strange.
In the flickering chrysalis tunnel, from time to time there are a few sounds of ticking water from the depths of the cave, accompanied by gusts of yin wind, which makes people feel a little chilly. All the way forward, Zhao Zhen and Mei Ji did not encounter any danger, with the faint pale green light in the air, Zhao Zhen and Mei Ji advanced for a while, and a step with no end in sight appeared in Zhao Zhen and Mei Ji's eyes.
The steps are made of long stones, these long stones are about the same size, about one meter five wide, more than 30 centimeters high, and have been extending downward, the faint green light in the air can only illuminate the distance of about one meter in front of them, and further forward, the darker the light, it is already endless darkness, I don't know how many steps there are in total, and I don't know when to go down, when is a head.
The walls on the left and right sides are also made of stones, and some of the stones have some moss on the surface, which is very slippery to the touch. Zhao Zhen and Mei Ji walked down the steps, and every time they took a step, they cautiously tested it with their left foot first to make sure that the step was not a mechanism, and then took their right foot.
The air was terrifyingly quiet, and the stone walls on both sides seemed to form a natural echo wall, and when Zhao Zhen and Mei Ji went down the steps, their footsteps had been as light as possible, but they could still hear the footsteps of "Tuk Tuk" amplified by the echo, which was very weird.
Except for the sound of footsteps, there was only the sound of dripping water from nowhere, and there was no third sound, Zhao Zhen and Mei Ji were very careful, and the speed of progress was not very fast, but after the two walked for about twenty minutes, they still didn't see the end of the steps.
This road seemed to give people the illusion that there was no end, so Zhao Zhen couldn't help but stop and began to probe with his divine sense. However, after some exploration, Zhao Zhen was surprised to find that the divine sense he had poked out had been sucked into the ground, and no trace could be found.
And the charm on the side also seemed to feel the strangeness of this place, and after a while, she suddenly said with a somewhat disgraced face: "Why did my spiritual power disappear?"
After listening to Mei Ji's words, Zhao Zhen's heart sank, and he hurriedly investigated the soul power in his body, until he found that there was no change, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. For ordinary monks, if there is no spiritual power in the body, it will be no different from ordinary people, and for the body of Zhao Zhen's meridians, if there is no soul power, in a moment, his body will be like soft mud, which is inferior to ordinary people, so he naturally cares about it very much.
However, the spiritual power in Mei Ji's body suddenly disappeared, which made Zhao Zhen a little more vigilant, and when he looked back, he found that the five living puppets of the peak of the Yuan Infant that had been controlled by him were still following him, but in their bodies, they also lost their spiritual power. In this regard, Zhao Zhen sighed slightly, the Demon Cave was called a Jedi by the people in the Demon Gate, and it really deserved its name.
While thinking, Zhao Zhen turned his head, and suddenly saw a graceful woman sleeping on the steps in front of him, due to the dim light, and unable to use his divine sense to investigate, Zhao Zhen did not see very clearly, but there was indeed a woman lying not far away, not moving, I don't know if it was a dead corpse or a living person, but from the physical point of view, it was vaguely similar to Mei Ji.
Zhao Zhen and Mei Ji were stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, but when Mei Ji saw the woman's face, she suddenly exclaimed, her body was like an electric shock, and she took a few steps back, but she accidentally tripped on the steps, if it wasn't for Zhao Zhen's quick hand to grab it, Mei Ji would have almost fallen to the ground.
After holding Mei Ji steady, Zhao Zhen stepped forward to check again, but when Zhao Zhen saw the face clearly, he couldn't help but gasp, in a blur, that face was exactly the same as Mei Ji, but his face was black, and his whole head was like a balloon that was blown up, much bigger than a normal person, and even the dark skin was swollen and shiny, that person had no eyeballs, there were only two holes in the eye socket, a dark green worm, because of Zhao Zhen's close relationship, he quickly drilled into that eye socket!
Such a terrifying scene also made Zhao Zhen's back a little chilly, and Zhao Zhen could be sure that this was not an illusion generated by the phantom array at all, because Zhao Zhen clearly felt the life breath of the little insect just now.
Moved his gaze to the charm behind him again, but at this moment, Zhao Zhen suddenly found that the charm and the five living puppets at the peak of the Yuan Infant had disappeared from his eyes alive! .
