Chapter 34: No way to enter the ground
Xiang An felt that everything in this place was weird. Thinking about the word "penalty" in the stone hall before jumping down, he was a little confused for a moment.
Nie Mingyue's healing on the side was getting smoother and smoother. After Nie Mingyue spat out a mouthful of blood congestion, she felt that the stagnant feeling in her chest disappeared, and her true energy flow was no longer hindered.
The movement on Nie Mingyue's side also shocked Xiang An. He quickly ran out to check the situation. He didn't want to stay here alone. "Senior Sister Nie, are you okay?" Xiang An asked with concern.
"My injury is no longer serious." After Nie Mingyue's true energy circulated for a week, he finished adjusting his breath and stood up. "How is it? Is there any other exit?"
"No, this ghost place is really weird everywhere. There are smooth stone walls everywhere without any gaps." After saying this, Xiang An was not only a little frustrated.
Nie Mingyue seemed to have known about this situation for a long time. She just looked around with the green light and said, "Lend me the Qinghong Sword in your hand." After that, she took the Qinghong Sword handed to An and used it.
The sword flew upward.
Darkness once again enveloped Xiang An. He raised his neck as hard as he could to look at Nie Mingyue, who was rising rapidly, until he couldn't see clearly. However, his feet did not move, and he kept waiting in place.
A moment later, Nie Mingyue was seen flying out with her sword, still maintaining an elegant posture, but a strand of hair scattered around her temples showed that she had also suffered the impact of the inexplicable strong wind.
Nie Mingyue handed the Qinghong Sword to Xiang An without saying a word.
"Senior Sister Nie, you should use this sword. You have a high level of cultivation and it will be useful." Xiang An did not take the sword handed over by Nie Mingyue.
"Take it, I'm not used to using this sword." Nie Mingyue said calmly.
"Senior Sister Nie, how is the situation up there? Has the wind calmed down a little?" Xiang An asked urgently.
Nie Mingyue shook her head, "The wind is so strong that I couldn't break through it even though I tried several times."
"What should we do?" Xiang An said somewhat dejectedly.
Nie Mingyue walked around the pond, sometimes picking up the skeleton next to it and looking at it, then looking at the big hole on the top, and finally focused her eyes on the pond.
"How deep is the pond?" Nie Mingyue asked.
"Ah? I'm in a hurry every time and don't pay attention to this." Xiang An said, scratching his head in shame.
"You go down and take a look again," Nie Mingyue said calmly, as if he was just saying a very simple thing.
"Ah?" Xiang An was stupid and didn't know what Nie Mingyue meant.
Seeing Xiang An's appearance, Nie Mingyue said patiently, "Such a large pond may be connected to the outside world. Go down and have a look at the situation under the pond."
"Oh" Xiang An looked like he suddenly realized something, which made Nie Mingyue have the urge to beat him up.
Xiang An got lucky and plunged in. The water in the pond was still cold. Xiang An held his breath and dived all the way down with the green light of the Qinghong Sword. He swam for a long time without touching the bottom, and the pond was
The water in it showed no sign of flowing, and it was impossible to find a passage connecting it.
Even if he speeds up the circulation of his true energy, the coldness is still biting. Even the further down, the deeper the feeling of biting cold becomes. Xiang An uses his true energy to open a way for himself. Under the glistening green light, the surrounding water
It also turned green, and the vision became more blurry. Strangely enough, not to mention fish, not even a trace of aquatic plants appeared in this pond. Although the water was clear and cold, it was like a pool of poison.
After swimming for a long time, Xiang An felt that his arm was almost no longer his own, but in addition to the cold feeling, he felt that the injured area on his left shoulder was burning, as if someone had poured salt on it, and it was unbearably itchy.
Not only the left shoulder, Xiang An felt that the lower he went down, the hotter his whole body became. There was a stinging, corrosive feeling all over his body. Only then did Xiang An remember the source of the water that Nie Mingyue said. Just when Xiang An insisted not to
As he stopped, he suddenly felt that the ray of true energy leading the way ahead was blocked, as if it had hit something hard.
Xiang An hurriedly shined the Qinghong Sword in the direction of the true energy, and saw that he was almost at the bottom of the pond. Xiang An groped to the bottom of the pond filled with fine sand, and looked around, expecting to find something.
Xiang An looked around cautiously, fearing that he might miss something. After looking at it, he actually found a dark shadow not far from him. Xiang An swam towards the dark shadow with great effort.
Nie Mingyue waited anxiously by the pond. At first, she meditated calmly and adjusted her breath. After half an hour, she could no longer calm down and walked around the pond in circles.
An hour passed, and Xiang An still failed to come out of the pond and appear in Nie Mingyue's sight. Several times, Nie Mingyue wanted to jump into the pond to see what was under the pond, but she looked again
Looking at the skeletons around, she gave up the idea. In fact, Nie Mingyue didn't have much hope that anyone could escape from here. She knew that this hole was to punish members of the holy sect who violated the canon rules. Although they were thrown down
In the past, she stabbed the offending members with a knife, but there were also examples of them being thrown down alive. However, in so many years, she had never heard of anyone coming out of this punishment hole alive. Her hope now is that Murong Lan knows that she was thrown down.
After entering this cave, go to the holy sect to find an elder with advanced cultivation to save her. Otherwise, she and Xiang An's cultivation alone may never get out.
Under the water, Xiang An didn't know that Nie Mingyue had turned around a thousand times on the shore. He endured the pain and swam hard to the black shadow, and found that the black shadow was astonishingly big. He saw that the black shadow was coiled at the bottom of the water, so deep.
The water didn't make it float, so it was obviously extremely heavy.
Taking a closer look, Xiang An discovered that the black shadow was not black, but white. There was a glimmer of light in the darkness, and he could see that there were extremely thick scales on the black shadow, which were extremely tough. Xiang An broke them off with his hands.
I broke off the scales, but found that they couldn't be broken off. I moved them to several places in succession. It was as if the scales were still growing on it and were very hard. Xiang Anzuo looked at it again and again. The more he looked at it, the more it looked like a snake slough.
, but he was a little unsure, after all, he had never seen such a large snake slough before.
Xiang An cut off two scales with force, and then slowly floated upward.
Nie Mingyue was not afraid of the dark. She walked back and forth in the darkness, waiting anxiously, staring at the water with her beautiful eyes, carefully sensing any movement on the water.
Just when Nie Mingyue's patience was about to run out and she was about to jump off, Xiang An came up with two huge scales.
Before Xiang An could take a breath, Nie Mingyue hurriedly asked, "How is it? Is there an exit?"
Xiang An was shivering from the cold and couldn't say a word. He desperately threw the two scales onto the shore, while he
He quickly climbed out of the water and breathed in the air-conditioning. It was obvious that working under the cold water for a long time was a bit too much for Xiang An.
After a long while, Xiang An gasped and said, "This pond is really too deep. There is nothing underneath, only this black thing." Xiang An pointed to the inexplicable scales and said.
Nie Mingyue looked at the scales that Xiang An had fished out with a little disappointment, but the more she looked at them, the brighter her eyes became. She leaned down and wiped the surface of the scales casually, feeling a little excited when she saw the white color exposed.
"Do you still remember that we were attacked by a giant snake in Panlongyuan?"
"Remember, the snake's head is as big as a hill." Xiang An was still a little frightened when he thought about it now. "Fortunately, it was heading for Brother Shen's Spirit Snake Bead. Otherwise, if it was heading for me, I would probably be dead by now." It’s already entered his stomach!”
"Then do you remember the color of the snake?" Nie Mingyue said excitedly.
"The cave is so dark, it seems white?" Xiang An said uncertainly.
"Then look at the color of these scales?"
"Isn't this black?" Xiang An said, pointing to the dark scales.
Nie Mingyue ignored the river mud stained on her scales and wiped it with her sleeve. The originally black scales immediately became silvery.
"This?" Xiang An looked at it seriously with some disbelief. He touched the shining silver scales, and an idea flashed through his mind, but he couldn't grasp it if he thought about it carefully.
Nie Mingyue said excitedly, "These are the scales of that big snake! Since it can shed its skin here, there must be a passage leading here under the water."
When Xiang An heard this inference from Nie Mingyue, he was a little excited. After all, being locked up here made him unhappy. But when he thought about the situation underwater just now, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, "This Not to mention that the pond is extremely deep, and it’s so dark underneath that it might be difficult to find the exit!”
Nie Mingyue was obviously more optimistic than Xiang An, "The giant snake is so big, the passage must not be small, and the pond is so small, it must be easy to find!"
Nie Mingyue's performance at the bottom of the black hole completely overturned Xiang An's previous understanding. During this period of contact with him, he felt that Nie Mingyue must be a cold and cold person. But at this moment, Nie Mingyue was not only not cold, but also cold and cold. Even a little lively? Xiang An is a little confused.
"Gulu" Nie Mingyue's stomach made an untimely sound at this time, and he found a way to leave. In addition, since he had not eaten water or rice for several days, Nie Mingyue suddenly felt an emptiness in his stomach.
Nie Mingyue glanced at Xiang An with a blush, and quickly changed the subject, "We will take over the search in the water soon, and search along the edge of the pond."
Xiang An didn't hear anything else, but he did hear the sound of Nie Mingyue's stomach. He took out a steamed bun from his arms and handed it to Nie Mingyue.
Nie Mingyue was a little embarrassed at first, but she was really hungry, so she quickly took it, ran to the side, and ate it in small bites.
