Chapter 8: The Black Stone Cave
In the field, everyone frowned, seeing that the bewitching woman took out this strange magic weapon under the siege, most of them thought that they were going to do the battle of the trapped beasts, and they were on guard at the moment. Only the stone shouted, and the Broken Staff flew into the air and rushed forward.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't have time to call "be careful" in the back, only to see the slender and soft eyes of the three-tailed demon fox glance at the huge body of the stone rushing over, and each hand grabbed a red spike next to the jade ring, slowly raised it, and placed it in front of him.
The jade ring turned slightly, and it seemed to reflect her face.
The moonlight was light and cold, shining on the top of the Xuanhuo Jian, and somehow, the carved ancient flame totem seemed to be resurrected at this moment, lifelike, as if it was really burning.
The stone rose into the air, and the Breaking Staff burst into the air, shouting, "Demon, death!"
At that moment, the center of the Xuanhuo Jian, where the flame totem was located, suddenly changed from the original dark red face to a bright and almost transparent red face in an instant, as if in the blink of an eye, that flame totem had been burned to a blazing heat by the Nine Heavens Divine Fire.
And that flame totem has turned into a raging fire.
With the bewitching woman as the center, an invisible blazing breath rushed out quickly in all directions with a "whew", except for a few feet where she was standing, all the grass and trees within three feet around her were all scorched in an instant, but I don't know why, but there was no spark, and it was not on fire.
Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio lost their hearts and minds, never thought that there would be such a powerful magic weapon in the hands of these three-tailed demon foxes. The stone that the person pounced on the three-tailed demon fox in mid-air also saw this scene in his eyes, although he was also surprised by the power of this magic weapon, but he was not afraid of sè at all, and grabbed the golden wolf tooth giant stick in his hand, and the wind was longer, and he let out a scream in the air, circled in a circle, and hit the three-tailed demon fox on the head.
The body of the stick is still in the air, and the ground is already walking with sand flying stones, and the three-tailed demon fox looks like its weak body is about to be blown away by this strong wind. But I saw her smiling coldly, hooking the red silk spike with the fingers of both hands, leaning slightly, aiming at the rushing stone.
The burning Xuanhuo Jian was reflected in her soft eyes, like two angry flames.
"Boom"!
In the loud noise, from the flame totem in the center of the Xuanhuo Jian, a fire dragon suddenly erupted, with teeth and claws, the sound was shocking, and the whole body was burning with raging flames, illuminating most of the forest as bright as day.
The stone was taken aback, only to see that the fire dragon quickly became larger, and when it first came out of the Xuanhuo Jian, it was still a flame, but when it came to the front of him, the dragon head alone was already as big as two people, especially the blazing qi, which rushed towards him, almost making people suspect that he was in the furnace.
Looking at Zhang Xiaofan from below, he saw that the stone had not yet fought under the impact of the huge fire dragon, and the front ends of the black hair on his temples had turned yellow, so he could imagine what kind of scene the stone was facing.
But looking at the stone, he was not afraid, although he was not shocked, under the urging of his mana, the golden light was even stronger, and he hit the head of the dragon head that rushed over.
The fire dragon roared in mid-air, and a pair of huge dragon eyes literally spewed out two angry flames, and suddenly opened its blazing mouth, and bit down on the huge mace that had been knocked down.
The mixed halo of gold and crimson was centered on their junction, rapidly spreading, accompanied by a rumbling thunder. Shi only felt that for a moment, the Broken Staff in his hand was so hot that he could barely hold it. Frightened, he mustered up his divine power and forcibly pulled out the Breaking Staff from the dragon's mouth.
I saw the fire dragon flying in the sky, roaring non-stop, Huo Di opened his big mouth, and spewed out a thick pillar of fire, rushing straight to the stone.
The stone roared, holding the magic trick with both hands, and the Broken Staff stood sideways in front of him, the golden light flashed, and a wall of light was raised, blocking the pillar of fire, but his body was involuntarily pushed backwards by the huge force.
Zhang Xiaofan saw that the stone was falling downwind and was in danger, so he hurriedly made a move, and the burning stick rose silently, and shè towards the fire dragon from the side. Unexpectedly, the fire dragon seemed to have a spirit, but he didn't know it, turned his head, his huge eyes widened, the dragon's mouth opened, and a thick pillar of fire rushed over.
Zhang Xiaofan was caught off guard, seeing that the flames were like a mountain, rushing over like a mountain and a sea, there was no way to avoid it, so he had to grit his teeth, urge the mana, and the burning stick glowed with blue light, stepped forward, and resisted the pillar of fire.
At this moment, he saw the three-tailed demon fox laugh and rise into the air, and the Xuanhuo Jian in his hand was full of light, rushing straight towards the two. Zhang Xiaofan and Shi Zheng were holding on to the fire dragon, they were all shocked when they saw this, and even Baguio who was standing behind the three-tailed demon fox was also surprised.
In an unseen place, Baguio's left hand was quietly placed on his waist, and he grabbed the small golden bell between his hands.
The three-tailed demon fox seemed to know the power of the sad flower, so he didn't dare to take it hard, so he dodged and dodged, and Baguio didn't chase after him, he dodged to Zhang Xiaofan and stood next to him in the air.
Zhang Xiaofan glanced up at her, Baguio's eyes were rolling, but he happened to look at him as well.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't know why, and immediately turned his head again.
The fire dragon was still showing off its might in mid-air, but the three-tailed demon fox did not hesitate for half a minute after Baguio rushed over, stretched out his hand, and Xuanhuo Jian flew back into her hand, and the whole person turned into a white light and disappeared into the dark depths of the woods.
Zhang Xiaofan and the other three couldn't help but be stunned.

In the distance, Zhou Zhou Xian let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it seems that these three-tailed demon foxes are still not good enough, and they can't exert the power of Xuanhuojian, so they can only scare these young people." Otherwise, if it is the power of Xuanhuo, these people will be in danger. ”
Xiaohuan said unconvinced: "How do you know that she is not good enough? ”
Zhou Zhou Xian glared at her and said, "What do you know, Xuanhuo Jian is an ancient artifact, extremely powerful, and when the legend is the most powerful, it can summon the Eight Desolation Fire Dragons and burn everything in the world." Then you can't burn these young people who don't know the height of the sky, and there are no ashes left. ”
Xiaohuan snorted, ignored him, turned his head to look at the field, suddenly frowned, and said, "Grandpa, you see that they seem to be chasing after him again." ”
Zhou Zhou Xian was taken aback, and hurriedly looked, and sure enough, seeing that Zhang Xiaofan and the others seemed to have discussed a few words, he turned around and chased towards the depths of the darkness, that is, the place where the three-tailed demon fox disappeared just now, among which the stone went first, Zhang Xiaofan took two steps, but found that Baguio didn't move, so he turned around and faced Baguio, as if he wanted to say something, but for some reason, he stopped talking, and his face rose a little red.
However, Baguio smiled slightly, and seemed to whisper a word in his mouth, and when he went first, Zhang Xiaofan was stunned, shook his head, and followed.
Zhou Zhou Xian was stunned for a moment, stomped his feet and said: "These young people, they really don't know whether they are alive or dead, those three-tailed demon foxes have the Xuanhuo Jian in their hands, how can they dare to chase after them?"
Xiaohuan took a bite of the rock sugar gourd next to her (she hadn't thrown this thing away from the beginning), and said quietly: "Didn't your old man say that the three-tailed demon fox is not good enough to exert the true power of Xuanhuojian." In this case, it doesn't mean that she has Xuanhuo Jian, so what are these young people to be afraid of?"
Zhou Zhou Xian was dumbfounded, as if he was choked, he couldn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "Quick, let's go too!"
Xiaohuan was taken aback by him and said, "Where are you going?"
Zhou Zhou Xian strode forward and said, "Naturally, the demon has been removed." ”
Xiaohuan sneered and followed, and said, "I met so many big demons and small demons in rì, why did I see you running and not seeing you rushing up to remove them?"
Zhou Xian's face turned red and said, "The most important thing for us to walk the rivers and lakes is to have self-knowledge...... Huh?"
He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly stopped, his gaze drawn to something else. Xiaohuan was behind him, looking at him, but he saw that Zhou Xian was looking at something that had been quietly stopped there from the beginning, and there was no movement at all - the ancient well.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan and the others had already disappeared into the darkness, and it seemed that there were countless monsters just now completely disappeared. There were only two people left in the woods, Zhou Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan, the moonlight was cold, and the silence shone on the ancient well, reflecting the moss and ancient marks, revealing a bit of vicissitudes and desolation.
Zhou Zhou Xian took a deep breath and walked over. Xiaohuan followed behind him, couldn't help but be a little nervous, and said, "Grandpa, what do you want to do?"
Zhou Zhou Xian frowned and said, "I want to take a look, what is strange in this well, why does the three-tailed demon fox keep asking what the young man saw?"
Xiaohuan stopped three steps away from the ancient well, his heart was a little hairy, he only felt that there was silence and darkness around him, but in the darkness there seemed to be a wind blowing, and he didn't know how many eyes were peeping at him in the dark.
Zhou Zhou Xian walked to the ancient well, looked up and looked around, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he wanted to look down. Xiaohuan suddenly became a little nervous behind him and shouted, "Grandpa, be careful." ”
Zhou Zhou Xian glanced at her, smiled slightly, and said, "It's okay." So saying, he looked down into the well.
Xiaohuan stared at his face tightly, and suddenly saw a trace of surprise on Zhou Xian's originally somewhat nervous and solemn face, and then turned into joy in the blink of an eye, but it turned into doubt, and raised his head to think deeply.
Xiaohuan stepped forward and whispered, "Grandpa, what did you see?"
Zhou Zhou Xian frowned and said, "I saw a lot of gold like a mountain. ”
Xiaohuan: "......"
Zhou Zhou Xian said to himself: "The reflection in the water of this well is not the shadow of a person, strange......"
"Ah!" Suddenly, Xiaohuan next to him came with a soft cry, Zhou Zhou Xian was taken aback, and hurriedly looked at her, but saw that Xiaohuan didn't know when, he was actually lying on the edge of the well and looking down, and he was raising his head at the moment.
Zhou Zhou Xian was stunned for a moment and said, "What did you see?"
Xiaohuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "There are as many rock sugar gourds as there are mountains." ”
Zhou Xian fell to the ground.
Later, when the two of them walked towards the depths of the woods, Zhou Zhou Xian whispered to Xiaohuan: "I think about it, this ancient well is only the 'Well of the Full Moon' in the ancient legend, that is, at the time of the full moon, if people look down, they will see their most beloved people or things." It's just that I still can't understand why the three-tailed demon fox keeps asking the boy what he saw in this well, but now, I really want to know what the boy saw......
※※※
This forest doesn't seem to be big from the outside, but Zhang Xiaofan and the others are in it, and in the vast night, there is an illusion of boundlessness. The three of them each took up their magic weapons and walked through the darkness, closely tracking a white light in front of them, which was the trace of the three-tailed demon fox when it escaped.
Unexpectedly, the white light only flickered in front of everyone's eyes for a few moments, and suddenly disappeared out of thin air. Zhang Xiaofan and the others drove the magic weapon, and in a blink of an eye, they came to the place where the white light disappeared, only to see that there was a small hill in the ancient wood forest and forest clearing, and on the side of the hillock, there was a cave entrance, and the rocks next to the cave entrance were all black.
Needless to say, this is the Black Rock Cave.
The three of them stopped at the entrance of the cave, glanced at each other, and looked into the black stone cave, only to feel that although the entrance of the cave was not big, it was pitch black inside, and it looked like it was bottomless. Bursts of yīn wind blew out coldly, brushing over the body, as if there was a feeling of goosebumps.
Baguio frowned and said, "This cave is unpredictable, and the magic weapon in the hand of the demon fox just now is extremely powerful, so let's not risk going in." ”
Zhang Xiaofan glanced at her, but before he could speak, Shi Shi was already beside him and said loudly: "Brother Zhang, we are doing everything to get rid of the demon, we will give up easily today, and this demon fox will come back after rì, but I am afraid that the disaster will be even worse." ”
Zhang Xiaofan immediately nodded and said, "What Brother Shi said is reasonable, let's go in." ”
Baguio's face changed, and he was about to get angry, but he saw Zhang Xiaofan turn his head, his face was sincere, he lowered his voice, and said: "It's really dangerous inside, Brother Shi and I are under the righteous path, and it is incumbent on us." You, you," he paused and turned his head away, but the voice came, "your own safety is important, don't make a mistake lightly." ”
Although Baguio couldn't see Zhang Xiaofan's face, he could hear a bit of sincere concern in his tone, and his heart was inexplicably sweet, but he said coldly: "I can enter if I want, can you manage it?"
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, speechless for a while.
Shi looked at the two of them with strange expressions, shook his head, and said, "Brother Zhang, let's go in,"
Zhang Xiaofan responded, and couldn't help but glance at Baguio again, only to see Baguio snort and move, but he rushed ahead of the two of them and entered the black stone cave where there were no fingers. Zhang Xiaofan was startled, and hurriedly followed, listening to the wind whistling in his ears, thinking that the stone was also following behind him.
In the darkness, the sad flower in Baguio's hand slowly lit up, and the soft white light illuminated the surrounding area of about five feet. Zhang Xiaofan looked around, and saw that the surrounding rock walls were all strange stones as black as ink, which looked as hard as iron and stone, and were extremely cold.
This black stone cave is similar to the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave in Dangrì Kongsang Mountain, as soon as you enter the cave, the road is straight down into the ground, and the slope is especially higher than the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave, and I don't know whether it was dug by those villagers or natural.
The three of them walked for a while, and they had already gone deep into the ground, but there was no sound around them, and there was no appearance of a living thing, not like in the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave, and there were countless terrible vampire vicious bats. As Zhang Xiaofan walked, his mind couldn't help but drift back to the scene when he first went down to the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave, and naturally thought of the time when he and Baguio were trapped in the blood dripping cave under the necromantic abyss.
At this moment, Baguio in front of him suddenly stopped and let out a soft snort. Zhang Xiaofan thought that there was some danger, so he was in a hurry, and hurriedly rushed up, standing beside her, Baguio was stunned for a moment, and looked at him in a blink of an eye.
There is no way out in sight.
A cliff was horizontal, and it was pitch black under the cliff, but from a distance, in the depths of the darkness, it seemed that there were still a few ghostly things flickering. Zhang Xiaofan's body was shocked, and in a trance, he thought that he had returned to the abyss.
However, it is obvious that this place is much worse than the Necromantic Abyss, and it is a hundred times smaller in terms of space alone. Zhang Xiaofan frowned and looked back at the stone. Shi also walked to the edge of this cliff at this moment, glanced at it, muttered for a while, and said, "Brother Zhang, it seems that we have to go down." ”
Zhang Xiaofan nodded and said, "Brother Shi, you have to be careful." ”
The stone face was solemn and said, "You too." With that, with a finger of the magic trick, Jin Sè's broken staff was raised and ascended in front of him. He jumped up, inhaled deeply, and then slowly descended.
Zhang Xiaofan turned his head and glanced at Baguio, but this time, he didn't say anything (it is estimated that he was choked back by Baguio just now), and then he raised the burning stick and followed.
Baguio was behind him, and suddenly a smile came out, and his smile was full of joy.
Gold, blue, and white clusters of light slowly fall from the cliff, surrounded by the same black sè rocks. The others are nothing, and there is still no sound around it, but there is a strange place, and the more it falls, the more it feels, the temperature around it seems to slowly rise.
After descending a distance like this, Zhang Xiaofan gradually saw the surrounding environment clearly with the light of the magic weapon of the three people, and saw that there was no way out in front of this cliff, but a whole cliff of strange rocks. The place where the three of them were, as a whole, looked like an ancient well that had been magnified thousands of times, falling straight down.
Suddenly, the stone at the bottom of the stone said urgently: "Be careful. ”
Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio were taken aback, and hurriedly guarded, only to see that on the stone wall not far below, there was a small stone cave, and there were two small bright and deep eyes in the cave, looking at them.
The stone gestured to them, and then slowly leaned over, Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio both held their breath and looked at it carefully.
Approaching, I don't know how long it had been since there had been a light shining in this dark place, when the golden light of the stone's broken staff illuminated the little hole, they saw together what was inside: it was a rat the size of a palm, using this little hole as a nest, and was now staring at the three uninvited guests with wide eyes.
Shi shook his head, retreated, and glanced at Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio behind him, the three of them smiled bitterly, and then went down again.
However, the next scene was something they never expected.
One, two, three...... In the darkness, the bright and dark light, faint and dark, slowly brightened up and around them. In the darkness, there seemed to be countless low gasps, and there seemed to be a low roar in the depths of the darkness.
Although it seems to be a barren land above the Black Stone Cave, there is no life, but below this cliff, deep into the ground, there are countless creatures that surprisingly and unexpectedly multiply here.
The darkness seemed to lift the eternal veil before their eyes, and with an inexplicable heartbeat, starting from the rat hole, and then going down, the large and small stone caves on the stone wall gradually increased, and then there was a hole almost a few feet apart. And in that cave, there are all kinds of strange creatures: small rats, bats, as big as a person-tall black ape, leopard, I don't know how they hunt in the ordinary rì?
It was still the animal they had been a little impressed with, but after descending a little further down, they were even more stunned to see that there were crabs on the stone wall that had been born in the water, and that the crab had four pincers, and then there was a six-legged civet cat that looked cute but could not be named, and a two-horned monster with the word 'king' on its forehead that looked like a pig, and so on.
Countless eyes, as if converging into a sea of ghostly light, stared at the three people in the halo.
The more Zhang Xiaofan looked at it, the more surprised he became, and he couldn't help but think that if Zeng Shushu, an old friend he met in Qingyun Mountain, came here, he was afraid that his mouth would be crooked with a crooked smile because he loved to adopt rare and exotic objects.
