Chapter 57 Mysterious Channel
The gloomy wind bursts in the sad wind forest, which made everyone feel hairy as soon as they stepped into the forest. All of them walked silently and quietly. Everyone was very close to each other. Ji Yuan did not allow them to separate too far. In such a strange and dangerous place, separation is tantamount to seeking death.
As I walked, I only heard a click, and everyone's heart jumped. What kind of sound is this? It sounds so crisp, as if the branch has been trampled off, but it doesn't look like it.
At this moment, it is on the verge of evening, and there is still a little sunset outside, but the forest is getting darker and darker. Gradually, it is difficult for even this group of practitioners to distinguish their five fingers.
"Don't move!" After the click, Ji Yuan said in a low voice.
He polished the folds of fire, slowly squatted down and looked at Jiang Hanye's feet, because he heard that the sound was obviously from the feet of his younger brother.
Jiang Hanye also felt as if he had stepped on something and stopped early in the morning. Where the fire shone, everyone saw a thigh bone, which should be a human bone. Bai Sensen lay there and had broken into two pieces.
All the disciples went down the mountain for the first time. Except for Jiang Hanye, who was forced to kill two people in resistance, they have never killed anyone, of course, except Ji Yuan. At this moment, when these teenagers saw the white bones, their hearts were full of coldness, and Jiang Hanye felt that the soles of their feet had a crisp feeling.
Of course, he could not have been punctured and injured, it was just a psychological reaction, which made him very uncomfortable.
Ji Yuan squatted down, carefully checked the bone, and said, "This bone has been dry for a while. Its owner should have been dead for half a year."
"So those girls and Taoist priests who entered here have probably been killed?" Jiang Hanye muttered.
"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!" He recited the Buddha's name in anger, "Such an evil beast, you must kill it!" He is really a grumpy little monk.
"How do you know it's a beast?" Jiang Hanye asked.
"When we entered this forest, we asked a fishy wind. This smell can't be made by people. Most of them are animals." He looked at Jiang Hanye and said with relief.
Jiang Hanye looked down at Xiaobai. At this moment, Xiaobai's eyes flashed with blue light in the light of the faint fire folds, quietly following him and without saying a word. He couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. If there is really any monster, how can Xiaobai not notice it? Or is this monster too strong to scare it? Or has the monster already left this sad forest?
All kinds of questions lingered in Jiang Hanye's mind, which puzzled him.
Ji Yuan frowned: "Don't take it lightly. Have you noticed the direction of this fishy wind?"
Everyone shook their heads in the darkness, and said silently, alone, "The wind is big and small, but it seems to come from the depths of this sad forest. Brother Ji, let's continue to walk forward. Maybe we will harvest there."
Ji Yuan nodded, looked at Shi Ran and said, "Master Shiran is right. The wind is strong and weak. It seems to be the breath of some kind of creature. I think there should be a monster here. You have to carefully concentrate to catch the monster's breath, and tell me the realm of the monster is in a moment."
It turned out that the leaders of the three factions sent their apprentices to practice, which was not only to kill demons, but also a test of their cultivation career, which was the accumulation of practical experience. These disciples should learn how to deal with the enemy, how to capture clues, and how to survive in danger during the experience. As the team leader, Ji Yuan, Shizhen and the elder sister naturally have the responsibility and obligation to supervise them.
Ji Yuan stood up and said, "Keep moving forward, little master relieved. Now that you have noticed the change of the fishy wind, can you lead the way?"
nodded relievedly: "Naturally." After saying that, he turned in one direction and strode, and the others followed quickly.
Jiang Hanye walked at the end of the team with Xiaobai. As he walked, he felt the strangeness in the forest. The air was filled with a fishy smell. The smell seemed to flow with the air. Suddenly, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that the smell was really like what the second brother said, as if it was some kind of life. The breath of things is average.
Xiaobai suddenly stopped, roaring and stagnated. Not only that, but he also held Jiang Hanye's shoes with his mouth to prevent him from continuing to move forward. Instead, he turned his head to the right side of the team, where a rock stood not big or small. In the forest under Shoucang Mountain, there are often such rocks, which are lonely and inconspicuous, so they did not pay much attention to the rock.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Hanye asked.
"Relying on a beast?" The relief in front of him sneered.
Jiang Hanye looked relieved and didn't say anything. He just said to the second brother, "Second brother, Xiaobai must have smelled or noticed something."
"Do you trust Xiaobai?" Ji Yuan knew the younger brother, so he asked.
Jiang Hanye hesitated for a moment and replied, "Try it."
"Try it?" Shi Ran frowned and said, "This is not your own trial. It's about everyone's progress, the safety of the residents of the town, and even our lives. Do you have to put such a heavy responsibility on a dog?"
Since the three factions lost to Jiang Hanye, he seems to have always targeted him everywhere. This time, he has become more and more powerful after being divided into the first team. As a monk, his words and deeds are always sharp everywhere, and he is quite popular.
Ji Yuan doesn't like a teenager like Shi Ran very much, but from the perspective of the friendship of the three factions, he has been tolerating it. At this moment, he heard this and said, "Well, anyway, it's not wrong to go and have a look. If there is nothing, you have to take care of Xiaobai."
Jiang Hanye nodded gratefully to the second brother: "I know."
The group temporarily changed their direction and walked to the rock on the right.
The rock is no different, but after turning around, they found that the other side of the rock was as straight as a knife, which was a little abnormal. Ji Yuan took the fire folds, came forward to look at it carefully, and touched it up and down the rock. Later, he didn't know where he pressed it. The rock wall actually roared, and Xiaobai cried with this rumbling sound, which was very fierce.
Everyone frowned and looked at them. They were all on guard with weapons, but their faces were full of disdain, but they couldn't speak. But seeing that the rock seemed to be a door rising from the bottom up, it rumbled to crack a gap from the ground, and gradually, a dark entrance appeared in front of everyone.
This entrance is in the rock, but I don't know where it leads, but when the door is opened, a stench comes to my nose, which shows that it must lead to a nest somewhere.
Ji Yuan looked left and right and found that there were no other three disciples nearby, so he knew that they were the only ones who found this nest, so he ordered to the brothers behind him in a low voice, "This is extremely dangerous. You must be careful not to run around behind me, let alone quarrel." This last sentence is clearly said to be relieved.
"Thank you, Xiaobai!" Jiang Hanye squatted down secretly and touched Xiaobai's neck and whispered.
The entrance of the cave is extremely dark. Compared with the darkness here, the darkness in the sad wind forest is nothing. Although Ji Yuan made a torch before coming in, the firelight can only illuminate only a few inches around it. It seems that the darkness here can flow everywhere.
After entering, there is a step leading to the ground. The steps are uneven and steep. While walking carefully, everyone reminds the people around them not to fall down.
"How can there be such a channel here? I don't know where it will lead to?" Jiang Hanye thought secretly.
The passage is narrow and long, winding around to the bottom of the earth, and there are bursts of smelly air rushing towards it, and the people at the top can't breathe. When everyone walked without saying a word, the small footsteps echoed in the passage and were expanded in an instant, shaking in everyone's hearts, which was disturbing.
Jiang Hanye walked in the team, and Xiao Bai was also extremely quiet and didn't make a sound at all, but somehow, Jiang Hanye's ear always seemed to echo a strange sound: "Smile! Sing!" He was interested in asking other brothers, but when he saw that everyone was silent and nervous, he gave up.
I don't know how long they walked. They came to an open land. In front of them was a square stone room, which seemed to be a platform leading to another ladder. As they continued to walk, the road in front of them suddenly changed direction. Turned to the left and another step. They didn't know the depth and distance. .
People only feel that breathing is becoming more and more difficult, and the depth here should be very deep. In addition to feeling difficult to breathe, Jiang Hanye also felt chest tightness, which seemed to be as heavy as a mountain on his body.
"Smile! Sing!" The sound he heard in Jiang Hanye's ear became louder and louder. Finally, he couldn't help but stop and asked softly, "Have you heard any sound?"
Everyone looked back at him. Somehow, the darkness here became much thinner. They looked at Jiang Hanye and shook their heads blankly.
"What's wrong?" Ji Yuan stood in the front and asked.
"I always hear strange sounds, slurping, slurping, as if someone was eating something very spicy and breathing in." Jiang Hanye frowned.
"Nan Wu Amitabha, Lord Jiang Shi, you should have tinnitus because of the thin air. Why didn't so many people hear it? Did you hear it alone?" He said coldly.
Jiang Hanye frowned. This relief was always aimed at him. In his words, he was either mocking or sneering. No one would feel comfortable after listening to it. However, the current situation is special, and Jiang Hanye had no intention to argue with him, so he thought he didn't hear it.
Ji Yuan frowned and said in a low voice, "Whether it is hallucination or not, everyone should unite in this situation and never have any gaps with each other. Just be careful and keep going."
The team continued to move forward, and after a long time, it finally reached the bottom. When they stepped on a solid and flat place, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. There is still a long winding passage in front of them, but after all, it has flattened down. Maybe it won't be long before they will see what they are looking for on this trip.
The channel is cold. This cold is wet and cold, which is different from that cold. In the cold, people can wear cotton-padded clothes to resist, but this kind of wet cooling is very uncomfortable. Not long after walking through the passage, they felt that their bodies were wet, as if their clothes could be twisted out of water.
Wang!
Ji Yuan walked in the front and stepped into the water first. The water was cold and piercing. He shrank back and said, "Be careful, there is water in front of you..."
"Water?" Everyone was suspicious, "How can there be water here?"
"Why is there no water here? The underground river is very cold. Ji Yuan said, "When I go to explore the depth, I don't know what will be waiting for us in the water!"
After Ji Yuan finished speaking, he handed the torch in his hand to a person beside him, and then sacrificed Zhong Xuzi and flew low against the surface of the water. Jiang Hanye and others waited quietly by the water. Although they didn't say a word, everyone was nervous and looked at Ji Yuan's back. After a long time, Ji Yuan still showed no sign of turning back.
"Wang!"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there were two loud noises, and the narrow cold river in the passage suddenly rolled up, splashing everywhere, making the people by the water wet, and the torches were extinguished.
Everyone dodged one after another, and the water was exhausted. Suddenly, the person in front pointed to the water and exclaimed, "Look, what is that!"
This is a little monk in Mount Sumer. Although his cultivation is slightly lower than that of relief, it is not much worse, but his voice trembled with shock and fear, and he became relieved that he could not be recognized.
When everyone heard the sound, they lowered their heads and looked into the water, but saw a huge thing as thick as an adult waist swimming slowly in the river more than ten feet away, and about three or five feet away from them, two bright things the size of fists were shining. The light was cold and quiet, which made people feel in their hearts after seeing it. Then there was panic, and no wonder the little monk's voice would become like that.
"Be careful!" Shiran held a nine-ring stick of pear blossom wood in his hand, shook his hands, and stood in front of everyone. This was specially given to him by the master when he went down the mountain, and it was also a wooden attribute that he had been used to use his best.
Jiang Hanye looked at his movements and looked at the way everyone retreated. He couldn't help saying secretly, "Although this man is arrogant, he is also a brave person, not annoying."
The little white tiger rushed to Jiang Hanye and stopped him, as if he wanted to block it with his own body and protect Jiang Hanye. At this moment, how can Jiang Hanye ignore other people's lives? He looked around him. In addition to him and Shiran, they were all novices in the acquired second-level realm. It was obviously their responsibility to protect these people. So he also took a step forward and stood side by side with Shiran. He held the Zhantian sword tightly, secretly sacrificed the true air on the surface of his body to sacrifice the frost and cold barrier, and slowly forced the true qi into the sky. Inside the sword.
The thing confronted everyone with cold eyes for a moment, slowly sank into the water, and there was no movement for a long time. Just when everyone was uneasy, suddenly the waves rolled in the water, and the white flowers filled the whole passage. After the waves, a huge thing jumped up from the water and rushed to everyone. The fishy smell came from his mouth. After a while, the people at the top were almost disgusting.
"It's a python!" Jiang Hanye is not the first time to see disgusting beasts. Thinking about the spirit beasts he encountered in Tiantan during the entry test, as well as the monster tigers he met in the forest, are extremely fierce things. However, the python in front of him was not only fierce and cold, but also very disgusting. It was hung with sticky and transparent things all over its body. When it rose, the ** on its body surface was thrown out, and many of them fell on everyone's heads. It was so sticky that it could hardly be shaken off, and it was cold and smelly.
The python's eyes were scarlet, its head was huge, its mouth was fiercely open, and the several feet of core kept swallowing and making a squist. Only then did Jiang Hanye know that the squist he had just heard came from this.
"Nan Wu Amitabha, Buddha, although my disciples are going to kill today, killing is to save more creatures, please forgive me!" He was relieved and put his palm together and recited silently in his mouth.
Jiang Hanye was cold all over his body. The true qi in his body had almost recovered, and he also had a more abundant and tight feeling. At this moment, the frost and cold barriers all over his body were densely arranged, wrapping him and Xiaobai in impenetrable, and the mucus naturally did not fall on him, but even so, he still felt disgusted.
The python snake's head was about the size of an iron pot, and its mouth was almost as big as it could swallow a ploughing cow. Its eyes looked at the teenagers without blinking. Suddenly, it rushed to them and opened its mouth and bit the top of its head. Its teeth were as long as chopsticks, extremely sharp and cold.
When the python rushed away, its tail flicked flexibly and coiled towards Jiang Hanye. Although this passage is not spacious, and it is a little difficult for the python to turn its body, it is extremely flexible. After a burst of dust and stones fall to the ground, the python's tail has reached Jiang Hanye's side.
At this critical moment, he suddenly threw the nine-ring stick in his hand at the python, and at the same time, he put his hands together and recited the spell in his mouth. The nine-ring stick of pear blossom wood seemed to take root, and the branches and leaves grew all over his body and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, blocking the whole channel in an instant, and also The snake's head was blocked behind, but the snake's tail had squeezed over and still rolled up to Jiang Hanye.
