Chapter 153: Keep Going
The next day, the sun rose, but for some reason, the sun that rose here was so different, maybe it was too dim, so it was a little reddish.
Xu Chen followed the other four people and walked slowly towards the top of the mountain.
Quiet, absolutely silent, the whole heavenly volcano is like the silence of a tomb, not even the ordinary birdsong and the howl of wild beasts, perhaps because of the polite evasion of these beasts, or maybe they are waiting to attack in the dark.
I didn't go far, the top of the mountain was still far away, but a huge flash appeared in front of the five people, and when I looked at it, there was a black hole inside, and there was no bottom.
It was a cave out of a huge mountainside, and the entrance to the cave was a steep slope, but no matter how the sun shone in the sky, several people felt that the light could not enter it.
When a few people slowly came to the entrance of the cave, a cold breath came to their faces, with a faint cool breeze hitting their faces, which could make people feel inexplicable pain, as if they had been unintentionally cut by their hair.
At the same time, a strange sound slashed along the scalp, as if it was not the horror of the ear, but went straight to the heart.
Xiao Leng turned to look at his companion, then at the old man with a calm face, hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, let's take a look first, there may be some heavenly opportunities here." ”
When deciding to come to the Heavenly Volcano, the old monk Wuzen actually told them to go straight to the crater, because according to legend, at a certain time, the monsters of hell would erupt from there and bring disaster to the world.
But, after all, it's all legends, no one has really seen it, and every place here is a strange land, and every place is a strange creature.
Several people nodded silently, but the old man had been observing carefully, and after a while, he said softly: "It seems that it can only be like this, this place has always been isolated from the outside world, and there must be many things that violate the experience of the outside world, you should be careful, I can't save anyone." ”
Life and death are at stake, everyone is very careful, and any accident may make these people die in it, but the old man's slightly contemptuous expression attracted a few pairs of disdainful eyes.
Among them, the most dissatisfied is naturally Pan An, the first impression is important, he put the old man in a hostile position from the first time he saw him, so he snorted coldly from his nostrils to vent his dissatisfaction.
However, the old man didn't care, just smiled slightly, but at the same time, his cuffs trembled like waves, and a green light snaked out.
The green light did not form the Gu Qing Sword, but kept swimming around the wrist, like a wristband.
At that moment, I saw Xiao Leng subconsciously bite his lip, and seemed to be a little humble towards this old man's attitude, being able to make the fairy sword invisible, this is already a very high realm, however, being able to let this meaning aura be sent and received at will, and in this case, it can not produce entities, this is a higher realm.
At this time, Leng Xue also moved his wrist slightly, and the blue short sword slowly rose from his waist, with a faint light. At that moment, Xu Chen and the old man looked over in unison.
That short sword is the "Pear Blossom Rain", it is a divine weapon that shocked the world more than ten years ago, although it is not as terrifying as the three divine swords of the Jade Xuanmen, it is already the top few in the cultivation world that night.
Of course, the more important thing is that the night before, a demon monk came to Xu Chen's house in search of this sword, and it was precisely because of this sword that Xu Chen met the old man.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Leng Xue suddenly turned her head to look at Xu Chen, and for some reason, Xu Chen, who had always been calm, turned red, as if he had encountered some kind of embarrassment that was difficult to explain.
Who knows, Leng Xue didn't care, and said softly: "Then let's go." ”
After saying that, she was the first to walk into the hole, of course, the first to enter it was naturally the "pear blossom rain" with blue light, although its light was slightly weak, but it was enough to shine within a few feet.
At this moment, the eerie aura of a certain person suddenly increased, like the stimulation of suddenly opening the door and the sunlight suddenly shining into the room.
At this time, Xu Chen felt that the clothes behind him were being pulled, and he was the only one who had no weapons, so he was naturally frightened, and he hurriedly turned around, it turned out to be the old man. "Boy, there may be something here, and there is no danger, if something happens, you will hide behind my back, you know?"
After the old man Fan Qichen finished speaking calmly, the green light in his hand suddenly bloomed, making the surrounding light a little better.
Xu Chen was slightly stunned after hearing this, he didn't know why this old man said this.
Whether he felt that his cultivation was not enough, or was he worried that he didn't have a weapon, of course, Xu Chen thought that the most likely reason was that this old man cared about himself very much.
This is definitely not Xu Chen's narcissism, because when the old man said these words, his eyes were peaceful, and there was no taste of sarcasm at all.
However, at this time, Xu Chen was not easy to answer, so he had to nod slightly.
However, just after taking a few steps, Xu Chen suddenly felt a piercing sound sound, however, this was not dangerous, the dangerous thing was that he seemed to feel that several other people did not hear these sounds.
It was a shrill cry, like the last accusation of a pig being killed.
Maybe the old man noticed Xu Chen's difference, hurriedly came to Xu Chen's side, and whispered in his ear: "What's wrong?"
However, Xu Chen did not answer, but slowly raised his head and looked at the top of the cave, which was five or six people high, but it was pitch black at this time.
At this time, the other three people also seemed to have discovered something, and together they raised the weapons in their hands, and the colorful light shone on the top of the cave together, and at that moment, together with Xu Chen and the old man, the five of them made a frightened sound together.
A mouth that is not very big is so eeriely open, and the two rows of white teeth in the mouth are extremely sharp, and under the illumination of colored light, it is actually as strange as evil.
What frightened several people even more was that it was a white-toothed crow, but it was several times larger than the one seen last night, and its eyes were more vicious and bloodthirsty than last night.
However, the white-toothed crow did not attack, but demonstrated with its mouth open for a long time, and then its body shook violently and flew towards the cave.
Maybe they were scared stupid, maybe they didn't react, none of these people made a move, and just watched the white-toothed crow fly away calmly.
"Senpai!"
Xu Chen slowed down and said to the old man, "Did you hear its cry just now?"
However, before the old man could speak, the eyes of the other three were already cast, with surprise and doubt.
Obviously, there was no need to answer, and they didn't hear it.
Xu Chen's heart churned, "Why is this, why am I the only one who heard the call of the white-toothed crow?"
Just now, the crow did open its mouth wide, and according to the usual experience, it should indeed be chirping, but, more certainly, the others did not hear it.
At this time, Xu Chen actually had a feeling of being isolated.
If he is the only one who can sense the danger signal, doesn't that mean that he is the most dangerous at this time?
However, after Xu Chen settled down, he didn't take it completely to heart, since he had come here in a daze, then he shouldn't have any other fears at this time.
Fear does not eliminate fear, this is something Xu Chen has known since he was a child, and he has to face it.
Xu Chen shook his head, didn't say anything, reluctantly calmed down, squeezed out a smile to the other people to signal that it was okay, and took a step and walked inside.
But, for some reason, the echo of the white-toothed crow's cry just now still echoed faintly in his ears, as if it came from the mouth of the cave.
Just when Xu Chen was comforting himself without listening, Xiao Leng, who was walking in the front, suddenly said in a deep voice: "Wait!"
When several people heard this, they quickly stopped, only to see Xiao Leng's two fingers lightly waved in front of his chest, and the Xuantie heavy sword slowly rose, and the light also became stronger.
A few people looked in the direction of the heavy sword's flight, but saw countless white-toothed crows wriggling densely on the roof of the cave, and they were the same size as the previous one.
What's even more terrifying is that the crows have open beaks and two sharp and snow-white teeth.
Under the influence of the light of the heavy sword, the white-toothed crows were a little agitated, it seemed that they had been sleeping before, and at this time, they were waiting to attack.
"Did you just hear that? They're barking. ”
This sentence sounded in the cave, but it did not come from Xu Chen's mouth, but Xiao Leng.
"Xu Chen, just now when we didn't hear their cries, you heard their cries. Do you hear that now?"
Xu Chen opened his mouth slightly, but he made a movement that shocked everyone, and he shook his head.
At this time, Xiao Leng slowly turned around, looked at the other people and said, "But, now that I hear it, they seem to be talking to me." Can they chirp with us alone?"
What a bold conjecture at this time, but it is indeed true, because, at this time, except for Xiao Leng, no one could hear the cries of white-toothed crows, and only felt that they were terrible.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of an arrow flying interrupted the five people's staring eyes.
At the same time, a black shadow flew from behind them, and then rushed into the cave without pause.
Although it was extremely fast, the men could clearly see that it was a person, a man in a black robe, and even they heard the man's evil and terrifying laughter.
At the same time, I saw a green light following closely behind, and even chased after it at the same speed.
It was Fan Qichen's Gu Qing Sword, I saw that the old man's eyes were solemn at this time, and he seemed to be quite surprised by the sudden change just now, and his two fingers seemed to be controlling the flight of Gu Qing Sword.
And Gu Qingjian disappeared into the darkness in a moment.
After a while, I saw that the old man's body shook suddenly, as if he had been hit by something, and after a few staggers, he actually retreated several steps before he could barely stand firm.
"What a strong skill!"
The old man gritted his teeth, moved his fingers slightly, and a green light flew back like lightning, and the light changed from straight to bent in the air, and finally returned to the old man's hand.
After a moment's breath, the old man said softly, "I'm afraid, we shouldn't go inside anymore." ”
