When Xi Yanjin heard this, his deep brown eyes flashed with shock. Then, he thought of something and frowned as well. "It didn't follow us? "
"No. "
This was the reason why Xia Junhuang's expression was complicated.
Although the vertical pupil was shockingly large, it could still let people guess its original form. It was a pair of vertical pupils that only snakes had. It was sinister and bloodthirsty, sinister and strange. She could not understand why it had clearly discovered their existence.. But it only stared at them sinisterly and did not chase after them?
Xi Yanjin agreed to fall into silence. He was thinking the same as Xia Junhuang. Since the giant Python had discovered them, why didn't it chase after them?
This place was filled with strangeness. He had not expected that Shangjing would actually hide such a strange and dangerous place... ...
Xia Junhuang looked again and found that the pair of vertical pupils in the snake cave had disappeared. She could only suppress the doubt in her heart and raise her eyes to scan the surroundings. The most important thing now was to leave this place as soon as possible.
It would have been great if Lin had not gone into closed door cultivation. He had lived for so long and might have been able to provide her with some help. Unfortunately, after she had advanced, Lin had also been affected. He had gone into a deep sleep to cultivate. Perhaps when he woke up again, he would be able to take on a physical form.
Xia Junhuang and Xi Yanjin looked at the entrance of the Cave and realized that it was not a cave. It looked like a cave on the outside, but there was a pitch-black stone door with a cool air inside.
Strange Patterns and characters were carved on the stone door. The patterns had people and things. The characters seemed to be some kind of code. The people that were carved were also very strange. Although they looked very similar to ordinary people, if one looked carefully, they would find that.. There were strange tentacles on the head, making it difficult to tell if they really had tentacles or if they were carrying some kind of decoration.
There were even some that had more than one head, two heads, or three heads. As for the objects that were carved, they were very similar to the asteroids that lined up in the universe. However, it was just a thought. There were too many things carved on the entire wall, and they were too complicated It was impossible to see what it was trying to express, and it was impossible to even guess what it was trying to say from these portraits.
Xia Junhuang did not know anything about these traps and hidden doors, so she could only watch as Xi Yanjin fumbled around on the stone door. She did not open her mouth to interrupt his train of thought. She looked inside through the stone door, and her brows, which had finally calmed down, furrowed again Her expression also became colder and darker.
Because Xi Yanjin was busy looking for a trap to open the stone door, he did not notice Xia Junhuang's expression. The Dark Dragon Group often went on missions, and during that time, they did not lack traps and things like that. It could also be said that they were good at it. Moreover, the trap of this door was not difficult to find After he repeatedly pushed the relief sculpture that protruded from the stone wall, finally, when he pushed the stone sculpture that protruded from the bottom with an unknown character, a change occurred.
The sound of the stone rubbing against each other pulled Xia Junhuang's attention back. The Protruding Stone Sculpture under Xi Yanjin's hand, under his push, sank bit by bit. After it was completely pushed in, the stone door also changed.
The strange stone door that was originally tightly shut slowly moved down from the top, and finally completely sank into the ground. The scene behind the stone door was completely exposed to the eyes of the two people.
Xi Yanjin immediately frowned. His expression was cold and gloomy, quite similar to Xia Junhuang's previous expression.
In the wide field of vision, it was still surrounded by a huge mountain wall. In front of the damp ground, dozens of chains coiled and coiled to replace the ground that should have existed.
That's right, the reason why Xia Junhuang and Xi Yanjin's expressions were cold and gloomy was because behind the stone door was not what they had thought. There were no mechanisms, no hidden weapons, and no passages.
Every forty centimeters, a forty-centimeter-sized stone was inserted into the suspended iron chain. It was strung up and spread out in the air. There was no protection or anything that could be supported. It extended all the way from where they were When they reached the center of the mountain, they separated and connected in series.
From the middle of the wide mountain, there were dozens of such iron chain stone roads leading to all directions of the mountain. At the end of each chain, there was a hole, which was the exit. And three meters below the iron chain, there was a strange bubble There were spots of green and white luster in the pool water.
In other words, if they wanted to continue walking, the only way was through the chain that was connected. It swayed in the air, and there were no fulcrum chains except for two ends.
Xi Yanjin looked at the bubbling pool water and tore off a piece of clothing and threw it down. The surface of the pool immediately emitted a crackling sound of corrosion. The piece of clothing that was floating down was suddenly corroded to the point that not a single residue could be left behind. Moreover, the speed of corrosion was extremely fast.. In the blink of an eye... ...
Seeing this, Xi Yanjin did not ask Xia Junhuang for her opinion anymore. Instead, he ordered in a low voice, "wait here. " Then, he stepped onto the quietly standing iron chain alone.
The originally silent iron chain shook slightly because someone stepped on it. Xi Yanjin steadied his center of gravity and did his best to sink all his strength into his feet, so that the chain that had no fulcrum other than the two sides remained stable.
Xia Junhuang's brows were knitted all the time as she watched Xi Yanjin walk step by step through the stones connected to the iron chain. Although he walked very steadily, the chain was long and at the beginning, it was still better. When he reached the center of the chain.. It was still inevitably shaking, but the shaking was not that big, so it would not cause people to lose their balance.
If it was an ordinary person, even if they were not shocked by the bubbling surface of the corrosive pool below, it would be difficult for them to walk through this long chain, which had no fulcrum to stabilize their center of gravity. At most, when they reached one-third of the way, they would be shaken down by the chain due to the impact of the force They would be swallowed by the corroding pool water.
When Xi Yanjin arrived at the stone mountain that stood alone in the central area, there was a faint crystal-clear sweat on his forehead. Even if he walked over to this chain that was more than two hundred meters long, he would still be sweating and was rather tired.
He raised his head and looked at Xia Junhuang in the distance. He waved his hand but did not make a sound. He knew that she would definitely be able to see. In this unknown place, if they could maintain silence, then they should maintain silence. Otherwise, it would not be good if they attracted anything Especially since they were still in this dangerous place.
Xia Junhuang saw Xi Yanjin's signal. Although she was somewhat puzzled by this strange calm, she did not waste any time to think. She lifted her foot and stepped on the chain. It seemed simple, but it was just a chain. The stones on it were enough for a person to stand However, only by truly walking up would she know that there was no support around her. It was very easy for the center to be unstable. especially the more she walked towards the center, the easier it was for the gravity to dissipate, and the easier it was for the chain to shake.
Xia Junhuang carefully poured her spiritual energy into the soles of her feet. While she focused on stabilizing her center of gravity, she also paid attention to the surrounding movements. When she came to Xi Yanjin's side, her forehead was also covered with beads of sweat.
Xi Yanjin's deep and sharp eyes fell on her forehead. Finally, he looked into her eyes and asked, "can you still walk? "
Xia Junhuang nodded. When Xi Yanjin saw this, he did not say anything more. Instead, he looked around and said in a cold voice, "these dozens of iron chains all lead to a cave entrance. They are almost exactly the same. I can't tell which one to take. " In other words, they could only choose based on their feelings.
Xia Junhuang looked up. Although she could see through, this place was too big. The area she could reach was limited. She could at most see the scene in the two cave entrances. One was full of bones, which extended all the way to a strange door The distance inside the door was beyond the range she could see through. However, the bones on the ground were arranged neatly. They did not look like intruders. Instead, they looked like they were buried here.
After entering the other cave, there was a winding and rugged stone road. It was very clean and bright because there was a liquid winding along the mountain walls on both sides. The liquid was emitting spots of light. It was in a solid shape and elongated She could not tell what it was, but it was this thing that lit up the stone road like a street lamp.
After looking at it, Xia Junhuang retracted her gaze and said, "then I'll just choose any one. " Then she walked up to the hole that led to the corpse.
She did not ask Xi Yanjin about it because her own fate could only be decided by herself. Since it was all unknown, she would rather listen to her own intuition and choose.
Xi Yanjin did not say much when he heard that and followed behind her. This time, he did not walk in front but let Xia Junhuang go first. He always felt that this place was too strange and should not be passed so easily... ...
As expected, just as Xia Junhuang's feet stepped on the stone on the chain, the sparse sound made the two stop and immediately looked back warily.
There was nothing on the flat mountain that stretched out from the pond. Following the sparse and numbing sound, the two looked down and saw that on the uneven stone wall below the mountain.. There were many small holes that were slightly bigger than a fist. The holes were pitch-black. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to tell that they were small holes. Moreover, one would not be able to see whether those small holes were hollow or solid.
Xia Junhuang had not noticed the mountain before, so she did not notice the small holes that were densely covered in the mountain. Now that she looked at them, her expression suddenly changed. She immediately shouted in a deep voice, "it's a swarm of insects. LET'S GO! "
Before Xia Junhuang finished her words, she had already run along the iron chain. Xi Yanjin followed closely behind, his expression dark and murderous. If it was an ordinary swarm of insects, Xia Junhuang's expression would not have changed so suddenly. As he had expected, this place would not be so simple.
Because of their fast running, even though both of them tried their best to stabilize their center of gravity, the iron chain still shook in the air rapidly. On the mountain behind them, numerous fist-sized insects also appeared in the densely packed holes They chased after the two of them at an extremely fast speed.
The black and bright carapace was exuding a chilling light. It was smooth and flat, just like the paint of a brand new black car. There was not a single grain or extra color on it. Below it were twelve fine feet. On both heads, there were four pairs of fierce and cold green eyes.
The two of them listened to the sounds coming closer and closer behind them. The sparse and extremely clear sounds seemed to be right beside their ears, making their backs feel cold, especially when they took the time to look back.
The densely packed darkness overlapped and piled up high on the iron chain. Occasionally, because the iron chain shook violently, rows after rows of them fell down. Unexpectedly, they were not afraid of the corrosive and dense pool water at all. In the pool water that was bubbling with green and white light.. The insects were chasing after them, causing their scalps to go numb.
Almost when the two of them stepped into the hole, the insects had caught up with them. Xi Yanjin hurriedly used his special ability to throw a fireball at them. The insects at the front were instantly devoured by the flames, and even the iron chains were broken.
Once the iron chains were broken, the densely packed black insects on the iron chains all fell down. The scene of them falling down was extremely horrifying. In the blink of an eye, the bubbling pond surface was covered in a black mass They swam towards the two of them in a hurry.
The two of them hurriedly took a few steps back. Xi Yanjin threw fireballs one after another. Meanwhile, Xia Junhuang turned around to find a way to open the stone door. Seeing that the stone door was exactly the same as the previous one, she didn't have time to think about it According to Xi Yanjin's previous method, she found the raised relief sculpture and pressed it down.
The cracking sound made Xia Junhuang heave a sigh of relief. She turned around and said to Xi Yanjin, "let's go! "
The abilities of superpowered people were not unlimited. If one used their abilities for a long time, they would be overly exhausted. Xi Yanjin threw more than ten fireballs in a row. His body, which had just recovered a little, was once again dyed a little Pale due to the depletion of energy.
Hearing Xia Junhuang's words, he shot out another enormous fireball, then turned around and caught up with Xia Junhuang.
The flames had just dissipated when the swarm of insects swarmed over again. They were extraordinarily fast. Almost as soon as the two of them ran into the stone door, they had caught up to the stone door. However, a strange scene happened.
After running for a distance, the two of them suddenly realized that the swarm of insects had stopped chasing them. They exchanged a glance, then turned their heads to look. They saw the swarm of insects stop at the entrance of the stone door, as if they were blocked by some invisible barrier. They were not allowed to enter at all.
The dense mass of insects piled up one after another. In the blink of an eye, they had piled up at the entrance of the stone door and formed a wall of insects.
Xi Yanjin saw this and walked a little closer. He wanted to examine the area carefully. Xia Junhuang raised her steps and was about to follow, but was stopped by him. "Wait. "
After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward. He stood three meters away from the wall of insects and landed. After carefully observing for a moment, he confirmed that the swarm of insects seemed to be blocked by an invisible force and could not enter. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief and waved at Xia Junhuang.
When Xia Junhuang saw this, she did not say anything. She walked over with an indifferent expression and her gaze fell on the strange insect. The sight of it piling up like a mountain and forming a wall of insects caused people's scalps to go numb.
However, Xia Junhuang's attention fell on the insect's two heads. Under its sinister green eyes was a small mouth with fine, sharp teeth. Although the mouth was small, the fine teeth were abnormally sharp.
When she saw this, Xia Junhuang felt that this appearance was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before... ...
Xi Yanjin had also seen this strange insect clearly, and his brows were tightly knitted together. This was the first time he had seen such a creature, how could there be such a strange thing in this world? ! !
However, the light in Xia Junhuang's eyes changed, as if she had suddenly thought of something, and she cried out in shock, "armored beast! "
"Armored Beast? " Hearing this, Xi Yanjin looked at Xia Junhuang in puzzlement, and his deep eyes became darker and darker. How did she know about this thing... ...
However, Xia Junhuang did not say much, and only said in a deep voice, "if we go out, it's best to think of a way to destroy this place. "
Xi Yanjin looked at Xia Junhuang's back as she turned and left. He suddenly felt that her back was filled with blood and killing intent.
Xia Junhuang's eyes were filled with killing intent. The armored beast wasn't the real name of the bug, but the name that humans gave it after the apocalypse.
She had seen this thing in the third year of the apocalypse. However, what she had seen was hundreds of times bigger than the current bug, and it was a little taller than a human being. Its Shell was extremely hard, and it wasn't afraid of fire or lightning. It could be said that.. The shiny black shell was its armor, which protected it well. Its only weakness was hidden in its abdomen, which was the softest part of its body.
In the post-apocalyptic era, not only people had superpowers, but also zombies and wild beasts. The one they encountered was a level-three armored bug. Even a level-four superpowered person would be injured in the end, except when they died The most serious injury she suffered was when she encountered the armored bug.
She didn't have superpowers, but she had learned some life-saving skills. In a critical moment, she was the one who was most likely to be in danger, and the one who was most likely to be left behind.
If that person hadn't saved her from the beast's mouth, she might have been devoured by the armored beast long ago. However, if she knew that in the end... ...
She would rather be eaten by the armored beast right from the start!
The two of them walked along the road. As they went deeper into the ground covered with dark patterns, skeletons were displayed one after another. The four of them lined up in a row. The strange thing was that these skeletons were abnormally complete and clean. Not only were there no dust, but they were also intact They looked abnormally strange.
Xi Yanjin carefully examined the skeletons and said, "these human skeletons are very strange. "
His cold voice was tinged with a bit of strangeness and Puzzlement. He discovered that these bones seemed to have been formed naturally, and didn't seem to have naturally turned into human bones after death... ...
Xia Junhuang also discovered that the human bones before her eyes were too clean and tidy, and didn't look like human bones at all. However, their shapes were exactly the same as human bones. She wanted to use her special ability to sense if she could sense where these bones came from.. However, the result was a complete blank.
"It's better for us to leave as soon as possible. "
Xia Junhuang stood up and said. There was something strange about these skeletons. It was better for them to leave as soon as possible in order to prevent more trouble.
Xi Yanjin also understood what Xia Junhuang meant. He nodded, stood up, and continued walking forward. The two of them walked past the skeletons on the ground. However, when they were halfway through, they suddenly heard the sound of bones rubbing against each other. At first, it was just a sound.. Then, it was followed by the crisp sound of bones rubbing against each other... ...
The two of them suddenly stopped and looked at the strange scene in front of them with astonishment.
They saw the bones that were lying neatly on the ground stand up one after another. The joints of the bones stood up inch by inch. The sound they heard came from the bones that were standing up.
In the twenty-meter wide tunnel, Xia Junhuang and Xi Yanjin stood in the middle. The front and back were filled with white bones that stood up. Then, after the forty-one bones stood up, the hollow hole seemed to be able to see things They looked at the two of them in unison, and then launched attacks at them at the same time.
Xia Junhuang and Xi Yanjin both moved to block. Xia Junhuang took out the Crimson Sky Sword and poured her spiritual power into the human bones that were swarming over. However, just as the human bones were shattered by her, a white fog actually rose up from the split bones It floated in the air.
It was the same on Xi Yanjin's side. The demonic red flames burned the white bones, but the thick fog that suddenly rose up was not affected at all and floated in the air.
"Be careful of this thick smoke, " Xi Yanjin reminded. Although he did not know what this thick smoke was, it was definitely not simple.
Xia Junhuang avoided the attack of one of the white bones and raised her voice, "try to avoid it as much as possible. There is a door not far ahead. "
As Xia Junhuang's voice fell, the two of them slowed down their attacks a lot and tried to avoid the attack of the white bones. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not attack and disperse them. Otherwise, there was no way for them to retreat with the thick smoke in front and behind them.
The two of them avoided the attack of the white bones all the way and sprinted to the front. The white smoke that drifted in the air also gradually spread out, only a few meters away from them.
The stone door that appeared in their field of vision was still the same as the one outside. However, in this moment of danger where white bones was chasing after them and the thick smoke was lingering, the door that was opened from the top down became an obstacle to stall for time.
Because the stone door was slowly opening up in front of them, there was no way to avoid it. Facing white bones that were chasing after them, they could only take action. Xia Junhuang waved her sword, and when white bones was still three meters away from the two of them, she shattered it.
Xi Yanjin's flames also struck out when they were far away, burning white bones that were chasing after them completely. They already had no way to retreat. If they let white bones get close to them again, once the thick smoke rose, they would have no chance to dodge at all.
The stone door had only opened by a third, but the thick white smoke was already less than three feet away from the two of them.
Xi Yanjin immediately took a step forward, blocking in front of Xia Junhuang. He used his special ability to block the invasion of the white smoke, but his face instantly turned deathly Pale.
That was because he had used almost all of his energy to block the thick white smoke. However, he could still feel a corrosive aura gradually invading his barrier, devouring his energy bit by bit.. He hurriedly turned his head and shouted at Xia Junhuang in a deep voice.
"QUICKLY GO IN! This thing is about to break through my barrier! "
When Xia Junhuang heard this, she looked at Xi Yanjin's clearly pale face and the stone door that was halfway opened. Without any hesitation, she leaped up and jumped into the stone door.
Almost the moment she jumped into the stone door, Xi Yanjin's barrier was dispersed and invaded by the thick white smoke. The moment the white smoke invaded, Xi Yanjin quickly turned around and jumped towards the stone door.
However, despite his fast speed, he was still engulfed by the spreading thick smoke on his back. The sharp burning and stinging pain caused Xi Yanjin's face, who was rolling on the ground, to turn even Paler.
Xia Junhuang looked up and saw that the thick fog seemed to be blocked by something invisible. It was isolated outside the stone door, just like when they encountered the group of armored bugs. Hence, she did not pay any more attention to it and turned to look at Xi Yanjin, who was sitting on the ground.
That Pale face made her frown. The faint smell of burnt flesh on her nose caused her eyes to flicker slightly. She walked forward and was about to look at his back, but he grabbed her hand.
Xi Yanjin looked up and stared at her with his deep and Sharp Brown eyes. He was cold and determined, but his voice was a little hoarse.
"I'm fine. "
Xia Junhuang looked at him silently. In his deep and dark eyes, she saw her indifferent face, and also saw his stubbornness and stubbornness.
