Chapter 173: Seven Days Apart
The cave is vertically downward, about 30 meters deep. After reaching the bottom, the hole extends horizontally. The distance is about twenty meters. After that, it is a 90-degree turn, which continues to extend horizontally for more than ten meters.
Due to the special design of the burrow, after climbing into the burrow, the wind outside cannot blow in. When Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief, he also began to study this cave carefully.
The vertical part of the cave is not large in diameter, just enough for a person to enter the hole. The horizontal part is slightly spacious. At the end of the cave is a spherical space, where people can stand up straight.
Jiang Feng found that this cave was not natural. The traces in many places show that the hole was dug out by hand. Jiang Feng was clear about the hardness of the rocks here. He believed that the person who dug this hole in the ground either spent a lot of time or was very strong.
When he came to the end of the cave, Jiang Feng found that there was a dry skeleton sitting against the wall. The moment he saw this dry bone, Jiang Feng knew that this corpse might be the person who dug out this hole in the ground, or it was like him, who came here to escape the wind. Jiang Feng was also wondering, I don't know if he would stay here forever like that corpse.
In order to determine the cause of death of the corpse, Jiang Feng stepped forward and began to examine the corpse. There were no broken bones on the dry bones, and there was nothing strange to see. Jiang Feng felt that he should not have died from injuries.
When inspecting the corpse, Jiang Feng found that there were some handwriting carved on the stone wall behind the corpse. Wipe off some of the dust on the stone wall with your hands, and those handwritings will be clearly presented in front of Jiang Feng's eyes.
"At the bottom of the Falling Immortal Abyss, where the Yin Qi gathers, there are countless Yin Spirit and Evil Beasts. The aura here is thin and difficult to absorb. And there was a deadly wind, which blew every seven days. I've thought about falling into the immortal abyss, it's hard! it's hard!"
Jiang Feng read the handwriting on the wall. In these handwritings, there is no mention of who wrote them, not even a single word. Just briefly talked about the situation of the Falling Immortal Yuan. Especially the last three difficult words, let Jiang Feng see the helplessness and despair of the people who left these words.
"Deadly winds, once every seven days. No, when I was healing before, I don't know how many days it took to do it, why didn't I encounter this wind at that time. Could it be that the situation here has changed after a long time?" Jiang Feng said with some puzzlement.
Thinking about it, I don't know if the person who left these words was mistaken, or if the situation has changed now. But no matter what, the handwriting on the wall also gave Jiang Feng some help. This hole also saved his life. Jiang Feng didn't care if the corpse was the one who dug this hole in the ground, he bowed to the corpse, and then sat on the ground.
The divine consciousness followed the direction of the cave in the ground, extending outward. Before Jiang Feng's divine sense could extend out, he realized that the wind was stronger now. By the time his divine consciousness extended into the wind, in less than a minute, Jiang Feng's divine sense was blown away by the wind. Because the wind was too strong, in less than a minute, the range that Jiang Feng could see clearly was very limited. The little thing he saw was of little help to him.
"The wind was so strong that even the divine consciousness was blown away. If I were still standing in the wind, I guess I would have been blown into a skeleton of bones, and then blown into powder. Jiang Feng said to himself.
Regarding the spiritual power in the Falling Immortal Abyss, Jiang Feng knew that the spiritual power of the Dao was very thin from the time he woke up. In fact, it's not that the spiritual power is thin. Instead, all the spiritual power was absorbed by the black mist. It is not very easy to absorb spiritual power from the mist.
When Jiang Feng inspected the dry bone, he found that there was a storage ring on the dry bone. The ring was intact, but there were no pills or magic weapons in it, and there was no spirit stone. Presumably it must have been used by the owner of the ring.
Lan Wu appeared beside Jiang Feng, and she asked softly, "What are you going to do now?" ”
Jiang Feng smiled helplessly and said, "What else can I do, wait for the wind to stop first, and then observe for a while." If this wind really happens once every seven days, then I don't have to leave, just stay here. ”
For the current situation, there is no way to do it. All they can do now is wait. Not knowing the laws of the wind, going out to explore the way, is no different from committing suicide.
In the cave, Jiang Feng sat there, carrying out his own cultivation. The wind outside, after a long day, had stopped. Now on the ground, there is nothing out of the ordinary. But Jiang Feng didn't leave the cave, but waited for something.
On the seventh day after the wind had subsided, the deadly wind reappeared. The wind was the same as last time, and after it became stronger, it could blow away Jiang Feng's divine sense.
"It's a problem this time. If it continues like this, I'm afraid I won't really have a chance to get out of here. Jiang Feng said to himself.
"As long as you can withstand the strong wind outside, you can still continue to find your way. Lan Wu said to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng took a sip of the diluted ice and fire wine and said, "That strong wind is strong, it's not like you haven't seen it." If you want to withstand the strong wind, you must at least have to be in the Purple Mansion Period. ”
"Then you will cultivate here until the Purple Mansion stage. There's nowhere else to go anyway. Lan Wu said.
"I want to, too. But there is a serious problem. Do you remember that I hit the Jindan period before, and I failed many times. Later, before falling into the Falling Immortal Abyss, he suddenly succeeded, do you know what the Dao is for?" Jiang Feng said.
Lan Wu didn't speak, waiting for Jiang Feng to continue. After a pause, Jiang Feng continued, "When I failed before, I was wondering if something was wrong. But it was only when I succeeded that I realized that it was not something that went wrong, but something that was missing. It didn't succeed before because it lacked the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. The reason why I was able to succeed later was because at the last moment, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation suddenly spread out in my body, helping me break through to the Jindan stage in one fell swoop. ”
"Are you saying that the improvement of your cultivation requires the power of the Heavenly Tribulation? If you don't have the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, I'm afraid you won't be able to improve your cultivation. Lan Wu guessed.
"I guess so. If I don't come to the first catastrophe, I'm probably going to stay in the early stage of Jindan forever. Jiang Feng said.
Lan Wu didn't doubt Jiang Feng's words. Jiang Feng is an immeasurable tribulation body, and he can now control the Heavenly Tribulation and devour the Heavenly Tribulation. The amount of power required to improve one's cultivation is not something incomprehensible.
"Anyway, you might as well give it a try. It's better than sitting dry and not daring to do anything. Lan Wu said.
Jiang Feng naturally understood this truth. There's no way he's going to do nothing but wait here to die. Now his injuries have not fully recovered. When his cultivation was completely restored, Jiang Feng would naturally start cultivating and find a way to get out of here.
In the days that followed, Jiang Feng spent time in healing. The injuries on his body also healed little by little. The strong winds outside still maintain the pattern of once every seven days.
Jiang Feng's divine sense poked out of the hole again and again. His consciousness struggled in the wind, and whenever it was blown away, he would take a break and then regain his senses. What Jiang Feng did was to use the wind to hone his divine sense. Only if he can withstand the wind can he hope to get out of here.
