Chapter 53: The Fire Dragon

、、、、、、、

Countless pairs of eyes in the darkness were all staring at the people in the three halos at this moment. Zhang Xiaofan didn't know why, his heart was still a little hairy, and he looked at Baguio and the stone, but found that the faces of the two of them were not very good-looking, thinking that they had never experienced such a scene before.

Despite this, the countless creatures around them did not make any moves to attack the two of them, except for a few irritable looking tigers and leopards that roared twice, there was basically no movement, just silent watching.

They continued to descend slowly, and after falling for about another four or five zhang distance, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly noticed that the number of bioluminescent eyes around them was gradually decreasing, but it felt that the size of each glowing eye was much larger than what he saw just now.

He frowned, and silently moved closer to the edge of the stone wall, and sure enough, with the light of the burning stick, he found that the number of holes in the dark stone wall was much less, but the size of each hole was more than twice as large as the top, and almost every hole was higher than a person. Correspondingly, the creatures in this cave are also obviously fierce and vicious, almost all of them are quite large, with sharp teeth and fangs, and hideous faces, which makes people feel cold in their hearts.

Among them, the more vicious, seeing Zhang Xiaofan approaching, a monster that looked like a boar but had a huge bear head, roared, and the giant claws swung out, almost hitting his body.

Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback, hurriedly controlled the magic weapon, and stepped back a few feet. At this time, Baguio and Shi heard the sound and looked at him, Zhang Xiaofan said softly: "It seems that there are fierce monsters here, let's be careful." ”

Baguio and Stone both nodded, each on guard.

But apart from being close to the stone wall and being attacked by those monsters, the three of them were not harassed in any other way. It seems that although these monsters are ferocious, they do not have the ability to fly into the air, so they can only stay in the cave. Zhang Xiaofan carefully controlled his flight, and at the same time thought to himself: I don't know if these monsters can't fly, but how do they hunt on this cliff?

In this way, the three of them descended a few more feet. At this time, from the cliff of the Black Stone Cave, they had at least penetrated nearly a hundred zhang deep into the ground, but looking down, this deep and huge black hole, except for the bright light emitted by the eyes of those strange creatures around them, was still deep and invisible.

What is even more different from the previous perception is that under this abyss, instead of feeling cold, on the contrary, the temperature here is much higher than above the surface of the Black Stone Cave, and at this moment Zhang Xiaofan even feels that he is about to sweat. Looking around, it was still pitch black, and there was not even a sign of Martian heat, which was very weird.

The stone controlled his broken staff, and when he slowly descended, he suddenly cursed in his mouth: "Ge Laozi, this dead fox actually found such a strange place to make a nest." ”

Zhang Xiaofan was nothing, but he heard a "flutter" from Baguio not far away, and laughed lowly. The laughter was crisp and pleasant, and although she lowered her voice, it seemed to spread far away in this quiet space.

Zhang Xiaofan looked at her, only to see that in the white and soft halo of the sad flower, Baguio smiled like a flower, and her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, at this moment she seemed to feel something, turned her head to Zhang Xiaofan, the two looked at each other, Zhang Xiaofan's heart jumped, and he quickly turned his head again.

Further down, the situation seems to have changed slightly, the hole in the stone wall is still slowly getting bigger, and the creatures inside are larger than those in the stone cave above, and they look bigger than ordinary people. But here, the three of them unexpectedly found that nearly half of the cave was empty. And in the air, which has always been relatively fresh, there seems to be a faint smell of blood at this moment.

The three of them glanced at each other, and there was a look of wariness in their eyes, but Rao did not slow down their descent.

In the boundless darkness under his feet, there seemed to be something, like starlight, like fire, quietly lit up.

※※※

Above the abyss, Zhou Zhou Xian and his granddaughter Xiaohuan finally walked to the edge of the cliff where Zhang Xiaofan and the others jumped just now under the light of torches. Looking at this cliff with no way out, as well as the unfathomable bottomless abyss under his feet, Zhou Zhou Xian opened his mouth and was speechless.

Xiaohuan is not very old after all, although he has been wandering the world with his grandfather at a young age, but in this dark and silent black stone cave, he still can't help but feel a little scared in his heart. She glanced at the bottom of the cliff, immediately retracted her head, and whispered to Zhou Xian: "Grandpa, do you have a way to go down?"

Zhou Xian's eyes rolled a few times, and he said dejectedly: "We don't know the Dao, and we haven't prepared a rope, so it's bad now." ”

Xiaohuan breathed a sigh of relief, clapped his heart with his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Zhou Zhou Xian glared at her and said, "What's good, maybe there are gold and silver mountains and agate jade mountains waiting for us at the bottom, this time, but, but we have suffered a big loss!"

Xiaohuan snorted, picked up the rock sugar gourd held in his right hand, took a bite, and said, "Return the gold and silver mountains, I think maybe it's the corpse mountain and the bone mountain waiting for you! Okay, since we can't go down, let's go quickly." Otherwise, if you run into one or two little demons, you, the thirteenth-generation descendant of the famous Qingyunzi Patriarch, will lose the face of the ancestor again. ”

Zhou Zhou Xian was furious: "Nonsense, what kind of person am I Zhou Xian, how can I lose the ...... of my ancestors"

Before the words fell, suddenly in this silent cave, on the road, from the darkness "instigated" twice, there were two flashes of light, as fast as lightning flashes, and in the blink of an eye, they actually fell in front of the two of them.

Zhou Zhou Xian shouted in surprise, pulled the small ring, stretched out his right hand into his arms, held the yellow paper talisman, and was about to cast a spell and escape. Unexpectedly, the light shook twice, and two figures appeared, and the movements of the people who came were even faster like ghosts, and before Zhou Zhou Xian took out the paper talisman to cast a spell, he only heard a crisp sound of "hiss", and Zhou Xian's neck was cold, but it was already a thing on the side of his neck, and the cold hairs on his whole body stood up, and he cried out in his heart.

After calming down a little, Zhou Zhou Xian found that the other party did not take his life, but the thing around his neck was not taken away. I had the courage to look at the two people, but I saw two young men, a man and a woman, the man's face was like a crown of jade, very handsome, and the woman's face was like a hibiscus, delicate and unparalleled.

At this moment, the two of them were still a foot away from Zhou Zhou Xian and Xiao Huan, but where the man waved his hand, there was a pure and warm magic weapon shaped like a jade ruler against Zhou Zhou Xian's neck, and the beautiful woman also controlled a cyan fairy sword at the same time, restraining Xiao Huan. Poor Xiaohuan turned pale with fright, his right hand was still clutching the rock sugar gourd, and he was already crying loudly in his mouth, and said: "Brother monster, sister monster, don't eat me, I have little meat, it's not delicious, if you want to eat it, eat my grandfather." ”

Zhou Zhou Xian almost fell to the ground, and said angrily: "Dead girl, the old man really raised you so big for nothing, you can't see it on weekdays, when it comes to life and death, you have to betray your grandfather?"

Xiaohuan said with a crying voice: "Grandpa, don't blame me, after you die, at least I will send you a string of rock sugar gourds for you every once in a while......"

Zhou Xian said angrily: "Nonsense, what the old man hates most in his life is this sweet and greasy thing, and if you want to send something called chicken, steamed fish or something!"

Xiaohuan nodded and said, "Grandpa, I remember, you can rest assured." ”

Zhou Zhou Xian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is about the same, then I can go with peace of mind...... Wait, wait!" he suddenly woke up, his eyebrows furrowed, "Dead girl, what do I have to worry about, where am I going? I don't have a conscience, I ......"

Listening to Zhou Zhou Xian's next chatter and chatter about a lot of words to denounce Xiaohuan, and seeing that he couldn't finish talking until tomorrow, the two men and women who were like immortals frowned, glanced at each other, and withdrew their magic weapons at the same time.

I only heard the woman say: "Senior brother, I don't think they have demonic energy on them, they don't look like demons." ”

The man said, "Yes. As he spoke, he turned his head to Zhou Xian and shouted loudly (otherwise it was not enough to interrupt Zhou Xian's tirade): "Who are you?"

Zhou Zhou Xian was stunned for a moment, and immediately changed his calm expression, and said: "Hehe, the old man and his granddaughter knew that there were demons rampant here, and they came to subdue demons and eliminate harm for the people." ”

Xiaohuan was dumbfounded beside him, staring at his grandfather for a while, but he saw that Zhou Xian was calm and looked as usual.

Unexpectedly, the man looked at their grandfather and grandson up and down, and said with a sneer: "I see that your Taoism is shallow, but I'm afraid that even an ordinary demon is not an opponent, and you still dare to come to this dangerous place, so it's better to go back as soon as possible." ”

Zhou Xian Lao's face turned red, and he had to say, "Yes, yes." As he spoke, he pulled the ring, turned around and walked out.

After the old man and the young man disappeared into the darkness, the man turned his head to look at the cliff in front of him and said, "Senior sister, it seems that we are going down." ”

The beautiful woman said, "Yes." This time it was really God's help, let us learn from that town that this demon fox remnant is actually hiding in this black stone cave. If the demon can really be eliminated and the Xuanhuo Jian can be recovered, the valley lord will be very happy. ”

The man smiled and said, "Without further ado, let's go." ”

After that, the light lit up, and the man and the woman, like lightning, swept towards the bottomless abyss under the cliff, and threw themselves away.

But on the cliff, in the darkness, the firelight flashed, and Zhou Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan walked out slowly, it turned out that the two of them had not gone far.

I saw Zhou Xian's brows furrowed, he pondered for a moment, and said to Xiaohuan: "These two young people have excellent qualifications and are profound, just now I saw that the edges of their sleeves were rusted with a flame pattern, I am afraid that they are disciples under the Incense Valley Sect." ”

Xiaohuan was startled and said, "Incense Valley?"

Zhou Zhou Xian nodded and said: "The Incense Valley is extremely powerful, and it ranks among the three major righteous sects in the cultivation realm, along with Qingyunmen and Tianyin Temple, and there are many masters under the sect. Recently, I heard that there are two more outstanding disciples, also a man and a woman, the male is called Li Xun, and the female is called Yanhong. ”

Xiaohuan glanced at the bottom of the cliff, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "The three people who went down just now ......"

Zhou Zhou Xian shrugged his shoulders, pulled Xiaohuan and walked out, and said: "Then we can't take care of it, anyway, tonight is so lively, we can't take advantage of it, alas, it's a pity." ”

Xiaohuan chuckled, didn't say a word, and followed his grandfather outside.

Only the cliff was still pitch black, and the figures of Li Xun and Yan Hong had long since disappeared.

※※※

Zhang Xiaofan was in the dark, except that the temperature around him was getting hotter and hotter, and the eyes of some monsters were staring at him from time to time, he really felt as if he was back in the dead spirit abyss again.

The surrounding caves are getting bigger and bigger, and most of the cave entrances are already about one and a half or even two people high, and the monsters inside are becoming more and more ferocious, and their size is also more huge, but there are more and more empty caves. And the smell of blood in the air seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

Even, in the process of descending, he faintly heard a slight chewing sound from an unknown place, like some unknown beast, tearing and swallowing food, which sounded creepy.

At this delicate moment when everyone tightened their muscles and could almost hear their heartbeat, suddenly, from the darkness below, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt a violent wind blowing under his feet.

Almost instinctively, his heart moved at will, and the burning stick quickly moved three feet to the side the moment the wind touched his body.

"Smack!"

There was a loud bang, reflecting a faint light, and there seemed to be a huge tentacle-like thing in the depths of the darkness, which flung over Zhang Xiaofan's side like a whip and hit the dark stone wall hard.

The entire cliff seemed to shake as well, and the dust was flying, and large and small stones fell. A moment later, a terrible cry suddenly sounded from the abyss, above the stone wall, and the screams were incessant. Zhang Xiaofan and the others were taken aback, and when they looked back, they saw that the huge tentacles like demons had actually rushed into a huge stone cave on the stone wall, and after a few stirring and convulsions, they were put away.

Zhang Xiaofan gasped, only to feel the fishy wind blowing in his face, and a huge five-eyed saber-toothed monster tiger was swept by the huge tentacles and dragged out of the hole. Although the five-eyed saber-toothed monster tiger opened its teeth and claws and roared, its body, which was twice as large as an ordinary person, was as small as a baby and powerless compared to this incredibly huge tentacle.

Once the tentacle caught the strange tiger, it immediately quickly retracted into the darkness below, and in the blink of an eye, it was not in the darkness, leaving only the terrible and desperate roar of the strange tiger.

The three of them all froze and looked at each other, especially Baguio, whose faces were even paler.

The darkness below my feet is so deep that I can't see the bottom, and I really don't know how many terrible things are hidden in it.

After a while, Shi coughed and was about to speak, but Baguio's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly exclaimed: "Below, be careful!"

Zhang Xiaofan and the stone were startled again, and hurriedly looked down, only to see that in the darkness under his feet, the firelight flashed suddenly, and in a moment the heat in the surrounding space rose suddenly, only to see that the firelight quickly became larger, accompanied by the wind and heat waves, a little closer, the three of them saw it clearly, and immediately changed their faces, only to see a fire dragon, roaring wildly, from the abyss under the ground, rushing and roaring, rushing up.

Looking at the appearance of the fire dragon, it was almost the same as the fire dragon summoned by the three-tailed demon fox with the Xuanhuo Jian before, but for some reason, the fire dragon at this moment was far superior to the fire dragon on the surface just now in terms of size and might.

Although the three of them had this question in their hearts, but this was naturally not the time to think about it, seeing that the fire dragon was hideous, the heat wave was full of sky, and in the blink of an eye, it was unstoppable, and the three of them hurriedly separated, driving the magic weapon to avoid its edge.

The three-color magic weapon is full of light and protects the master, but the power of this fire dragon is too great, and in contrast, the aperture of these magic weapons is immediately pressed down. Zhang Xiaofan and the other three were also pushed backwards by the huge wave of fire almost at the same time, and a moment later, they hit the stone wall with a bang.

The fire dragon soared straight into the sky, and the aftermath was amazing. Zhang Xiaofan's back hit the hard rock wall, and his eyes were even darker in pain. But he was one of the lucky ones, and after a little composure, he saw in the distance that the huge body of the stone was impartial, and actually crashed into a cave, and unfortunately, the roar of a beast was soon heard from the cave.

Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback, and was about to rush over to help, but he only heard the roar of the stone, and the cave "banged", and at the end, the golden light flashed, and a huge body was thrown out, but it was another strange-looking monster.

Zhang Xiaofan put his mind at ease, thinking that it is not unreasonable for this person to be called a stone, it is indeed harder than a stone!

At this moment, the fire dragon that rose into the sky turned in a circle above, and in the roar, it rushed down like thunder.

Zhang Xiaofan gritted his teeth, grasped the magic trick, and quickly moved away from mid-air, avoiding the hideous dragon head, and with a finger of his right hand, the burning stick shot through the air, and went straight to the dragon's neck.

The fire dragon dragon groaned, the dragon eyes spraying flames flowed, and the huge left front dragon claw was raised, but it was against the blue light of the burning stick, Zhang Xiaofan's face turned pale, and he only felt that the heat wave in front of him was burning, rolling in, and he could only grit his teeth and struggle to support it at the moment.

At this moment, I only heard a coquettish sound, and above the abyss illuminated by the fire dragon, the green figure flashed, and the green clothes of Baguio fluttered, floating down, and the sad flowers were white and bright, flying all over the sky, and the flower rain was terrible, facing the giant head of the fire dragon under the hood.

In the midst of the "roaring ......" flames, the fire dragon roared again, grabbed its right claw, and the white flower rain in the sky was pushed back by it three feet. But Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio joined forces, and the mana was surging, and they immediately pressed the fire dragon down a zhang, just hitting the stone that had just rushed out of the cave.

The stone looked at it and saw that Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio were both fighting against the huge fire dragon with all their might, surrounded by flames, although they had their own magic weapons to protect themselves, but their faces were already red.

The stone opened his eyes and jumped up, he was in mid-air, but he turned into a cross-legged sitting posture, holding up the broken staff with both hands, and in a moment the golden light was released, and the whole mace revealed the golden light, almost transparent, obviously urged by the mana with all his might, and the stone himself was a solemn statue, looking from a distance, almost like a Buddhist monk.

But seeing that he suddenly opened his eyes, like a demon slayer King Kong, powerful and powerful, his body turned into a lightning golden light in mid-air, slashing through the air, and in the loud bang, the entire Broken Staff was inserted into the hard stone wall. In an instant, the stone wall that was originally as solid as iron and stone was concave, and the range was almost four feet.

I saw that the blue tendons on the originally rough face of the stone jumped up, almost terrifying, and even the side of his mouth seemed to slowly flow out a faint bloodshot, but the broken staff in his hand was a golden waist eye, which could not be forced. But as he roared, all the golden rays suddenly shrank and converged into a huge golden light, shooting at the fire dragon's head.

The power of this is not trivial, regardless of whether it is the gathering of mana of the whole body of the stone, Rao is fire dragon is extremely fierce, by this blow to the head, plus Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio from the top of the two attacks, under the heavy pressure, the fire dragon let out a long roar, the sound shook the four valleys, but after all, it was still powerless to resist, fell, and quickly disappeared into the darkness under his feet.

The stone was successfully struck, but his body shook, and his face flashed with blood, and when he stumbled, he almost fell down. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaofan saw that Shishi's face was wrong, and immediately rushed to his side, caught up with him, and dragged him down, so that Shishi stood firm.

However, before the two of them could catch their breath, Baguio above exclaimed again, and the green clothes fluttered and rushed down. Zhang Xiaofan glanced out of the corner of his eye, and the soul was in a hurry, only to see that the huge tentacles that were as huge and incomparable as a demon just now actually rushed up again, and this time they were directly hitting the top of the two of them.

The wind blew and his face hurt, and the breath of the stone was undecided, Zhang Xiaofan was caught off guard, and he was about to die under this huge tentacle, but he saw Baguio's face pale, but his body was like electricity, and his figure flashed in a moment, blocking Zhang Xiaofan's body. The sad flower in her hand instantly transformed into six strange flowers, surrounding the flower in the middle, and each flower had a pure white light to connect with it, looking like a white light wheel, Zhang Xiaofan saw it in his eyes, and suddenly remembered that she seemed to use this spell when she resisted the black water snake under the necromancy abyss.

But obviously, the unknown creatures in the darkness are also the same as the black water snake, they are all extremely powerful creatures, although they are not as strong as the black water snake, but with the power of one blow, although Baguio's white light wheel was not as scattered as the black water snake that day, the whole person was shocked, and he was immediately beaten down, and he was about to be pressed into the boundless darkness.

Zhang Xiaofan "buzzed" in his mind, he only felt that his eyes were hot, he didn't know where the strength came from, and he didn't think of anything at all, let go of the stone that had already stood firm, and quickly caught up with the huge tentacles that were twisting in the air and the Baguio who was barely supporting.

Baguio was struggling to support himself, but he only felt that the pressure was like a mountain, and he was almost about to lose control, when he suddenly saw Zhang Xiaofan suddenly appear beside him, he was shocked, and lost his voice: "You go quickly......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Xiaofan possessing the burning stick, the green mang flashed, rushed away, and hit the huge tentacles that were pressing on Baguio. Where the tentacle was hit by the burning stick, it suddenly shrank, and the originally slippery skin actually withered in an instant.

The tentacle seemed to be in pain, and immediately put it away, Baguio's pressure was relaxed, and when he saw Zhang Xiaofan coming to the rescue regardless of life and death, he was happy and worried in his heart, but before she could speak, her face turned white.

In the dark, the huge tentacle actually reappeared, but this time it was silent, rushing straight to Zhang Xiaofan from under his feet, Zhang Xiaofan was caught off guard for a while, his body hurt, and he was actually caught by the tentacle, and then he was dragged down and disappeared into the darkness.

Baguio lost color at the same time as the stone that arrived at this moment, and without saying a word, he flew down and chased down.
