Chapter 42 Stone Statue
Zhang Yuan, Yi Yun and Xiao Wu walked down the bottom of the pool. At the bottom of the pool, a several-meter-wide hole appeared at the feet of the three people. Deep under the hole, it was dark and bottomless.
The gloomy and cold ground air emerged from the mouth of this hole. This gloomy cold gas, mixed with the smell of corrosion, looked at the dark hole, Yi Yun said, "The insects crawling out from here should be related to the mysterious formula I just applied. When applying the Xuanqing formula, it is necessary to adopt the combination of water spirit and ground gas. Maybe I accidentally broke it. Solve the hole array, move the position of the stone slab, and bring the maggots out of the ground.
Xiao Wu said, "This is called the recovery of the sky and vegetables, brother, shall we go down?"
For the sake of safety, Zhang Yuan said, "I'll go down first, and you will follow. If there is any danger, you can help me unexpectedly."
Yi Yun said, "If you insist, it's up to you." Yi Yun knew that Zhang Yuan was well-meaning, but this is also good. Only when the brothers work together can big things be done.
Xiao Wu said, "I'll go down with you, more people, more strength." Zhang Yuan looked carefully at the mouth of the cave, and his consciousness spread to the deep underground. In the sea of knowledge, a dark and vague scene gradually appeared. After seeing that there was no abnormality, Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and then jumped to the ground.
Zhang Yuan just jumped down for several breaths, and Xiao Wu immediately jumped down. Yi Yun stood still and was not in a hurry to follow. He used the realm of heaven and kept paying attention to the movement below.
When landing, Zhang Yuan heard the whirling sound in his ear. The cold gas became colder and colder. After ten breaths later, Zhang Yuan felt that something had stepped on his feet, which turned out to fall to the ground.
Zhang Yuan was not in a hurry to move forward. He looked around and heard a click behind him, as if something was broken. Zhang Yuan looked back and it turned out that Xiao Wu had come down.
As soon as he got to the ground, Xiao Wu said, "I seem to have stepped on something, otherwise how could there be a click?"
Zhang Yuan said; "Dig it out and have a look," with the help of Zhang Yuanling's sword, Xiao Wu waved the long sword in his hand and threw a shallow resistance under his feet. The soil thrown from the pit was very wet.
"I found it," Xiao Wu said, "unlucky, I thought it was something. It turned out to be a skull." Zhang Yuan walked over and saw that the head also showed signs of corrosion.
Xiao Wu suddenly shouted, and then hurriedly jumped on the ground. Zhang Yuan asked in a hurry; "What's wrong with you?"
Xiao Wu said that something seemed to climb on me. Zhang Yuan shone the light emitted by the spiritual sword on Xiao Wu and saw several insects crawling slowly on him.
Xiao Wu said disgustingly, "What a disgusting thing actually crawls over me."
"Zhang Yuan, Xiao Wu, what's going on?" Yi Yun shouted above;
"Brother, there is no danger, but we sent a head and a few insects," the two shouted.
Yi Yun said, "I'll come down to accompany you right away."
Lan Qier walked to Yi Yun and said, "You should pay attention to safety. We will wait for you on it." Hearing Lan Qier's words, Yi Yun brushed his face like a breeze, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Zhang Lu said disdainfully on it; "Two cowards, one head is so scared, it's not as good as a human girl."
After dealing with the insects on Xiaowu's body, Zhang Yuan raised his spiritual sword and the two walked far away. The sword light lit more than ten meters ahead. Although more than ten meters of light is not short, it is insignificant compared with this dark and wide cave.
The wet ground, the soil is very soft, and people will leave obvious footprints when walking on it. On the left and right sides, the stone wall is at least 100 meters away. The two walk close to the stone wall. There are some mossy weeds growing on the stone wall. The surface of the stone wall is not neat, and there are many convex and concave stones on it. .
In front of the dark, the sound of dripping water came from afar. The sound was very quiet and clear. Every drop of water was clearly transmitted to the ears of the two people. Except for the sound of water, there was no movement in the whole underground cave. The quieter it was, the more gloomy it was.
The two cautiously walked 100 meters away and saw the stone wall beside them replaced by an earth wall. There are countless vines growing on this wall. These vines are different from the outside. Most of the vines outside are green, but the vines here are gray. The gray vines grow to the invisible end.
In addition to countless vines growing on the soil wall, there are many traces of running water, and some traces of turbid water are slowly flowing down. Some traces have already dried up.
The sound of water dripping from the front is getting clearer and clearer. From the sound of this drop of water, it can be distinguished that some water drips in the pool and some water drips on the stone. After walking through the dirt wall, the location of the tunnel in front of it became much wider.
The spiritual sword exudes bright light. After looking around, they began to move forward again. As the tunnel widened, the light of the spiritual sword became even weaker. This faint light, like a lonely lamp in the dark, seems to die out at any time.
Because the light became dark and there was no reference around, the two lost their position like the lost boat leaves in the sea. Zhang Yuan seems to have some feelings about this situation. I feel that my life is like this gloomy tunnel, and I don't know when I can see the light.
"What the hell is this? How can it be so wide?" Xiao Wu said softly; after hearing Xiao Wu's voice, Zhang Yuan's confused mood became better at this time. Isn't there Jiujian Palace behind you? Aren't there many brothers and sisters around you? Even if there are so many people accompanying me, what else am I depressed about? Zhang Yuan thought in his heart;
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan put down all the shadows and looked at Xiao Wu, who was beside him. Suddenly, he felt how important his friends were.
"Brother Zhang, when will we end up moving forward like this?" Xiao Wu asked;
Zhang Yuan said, "Just call me brother. Let's just move forward at ease." After walking for a while, the tunnel gradually narrowed and became only dozens of meters wide. In front of him, a figure appeared dozens of meters away. Due to the dim light, the face of the figure could not be seen clearly. The figure stood there motionless and quietly.
In the darkness, an unknown figure suddenly appeared, which was not a good sign. The two were on alert and looked at the figure, but strangely, the figure had always maintained a posture of standing still.
"Brother, is that you?" Xiao Wu asked, on the other side of the dark, and there was no sound. Seeing this situation, Xiao Wu took a deep breath and then held the long sword in his hand tightly.
Zhang Yuan's consciousness spread over and found that this quiet figure turned out to be just a stone statue. "Brother Xiao, that's not a real person, it's just a stone statue," Zhang Yuan said;
Xiao Wu relaxed his guard and said, "It turned out that it was just a stone statue. No wonder it didn't move. Brother, let you see the joke. Look, I was shocked."
Zhang Yuan said, "It's normal to be cautious, especially in such a place."
Xiao Wu looked at the footprints on the ground and said, "Have you noticed that there are no other footprints except our footprints?"
Zhang Yuan said; "I have noticed this from the beginning, and there are no other footprints, which shows that no one has been here for a long time."
Xiao Wu said reassuringly, "It's so good that we are much safer."
Zhang Yuan said, "No one has been here for a long time, which doesn't mean that there is no danger here. We can't relax and be cautious about it."
