Ye Qiu and his party jumped into the sinkhole after getting ready.
Suddenly, his eyes suddenly went dark, as if he had fallen from a bright world into an endless abyss of darkness.
The Burial Abyss, as its name suggests, is like a huge scar between heaven and earth, bottomless.
The surrounding cliffs are as sharp as a knife, and occasionally you can see a few dead trees that look like horned dragons.
As they fell, the air around them became heavier and heavier, so oppressive that it was almost breathless.
Waves of cold air hit from all directions, like biting ice, and even those with advanced cultivation couldn't help but shudder.
Finally, we reached the bottom of the sinkhole.
Looking up, I saw a scene of decay all around.
The surrounding plants have long lost their vitality, and the leaves have accumulated in a thick layer on the ground, exuding a decaying smell.
There are also some old trees, now only the bare trunks are left, like the fingers of the dead, extending feebly to the surroundings.
There is almost no light here, and it is extremely dark. Even in the daytime, it seems to be shrouded in a thick layer of black fog, making it difficult to discern the direction.
"This place is very much like the Nine Nether Hells."
Feng Wuhen couldn't help but whisper.
His voice echoed in the silent sinkhole, adding to the creepy feeling.
Ye Qiu frowned, his perception was greatly restricted here, as if there was an invisible force interfering with his exploration.
"Everyone, be careful, it's not easy here." Ye Qiu reminded in a low voice.
Everyone nodded and became more vigilant.
Xuanyuan Ronger followed closely beside Ye Qiu, grabbing the corner of his clothes and looking very nervous.
They continued to move forward, but the ground under their feet was full of potholes. Suddenly, Xuanyuan Ronger stopped and said tremblingly: "Ye Changsheng, I, I seem to have stepped on something."
"Oh?" A ball of strange fire burst out from Ye Qiu's fingertips, lighting up the ground.
Xuanyuan Ronger took off her feet and found that there was a layer of corroded leaves under her feet. Ye Qiu waved his hand and the leaves flew away, revealing a skull.
At this time, the two eye holes in the skull were looking at Xuanyuan Ronger.
"ah!"
Xuanyuan Ronger screamed in fright, threw herself into Ye Qiu's arms, and held him tightly.
"It's okay, it's just a skull." Ye Qiu comforted him.
"I'm scared." Xuanyuan Ronger said weakly.
Ye Qiu took a closer look at the skull and found that the skull had turned black, but there was still a trace of divinity.
In other words, the owner of this skull was definitely a powerful person during his lifetime.
"Let's go!" Ye Qiu took the initiative to pull Xuanyuan Ronger and lead everyone forward.
From time to time, you can also step on some unknown white bones, which are large or small, complete or broken, scattered on the ground, seeming to tell the story of the tragic battles that took place here.
The yin energy is getting heavier and heavier, as if there are countless dead souls wandering in this world, looking for living souls to cling to.
Ye Qiu and others could feel that the invisible cold air was mixed with traces of resentment and wailing, making people feel uneasy.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Ye Qiu let out a light sigh, and his eyes sharply glanced at a corner, where there seemed to be a faint light flickering.
Everyone followed his gaze and saw that it was a strange grass. In such a withered environment, it still maintained a strong vitality. The leaves were glowing with a faint green light, as if it was the darkness.
A glimmer of hope.
"This is..." Master Changmei said in surprise.
Xuanyuan Ronger observed it carefully and said in a deep voice: "This is Netherworld Grass. It only grows in extremely yin places, and its utility value is not high."
Everyone looked stern when they heard about the extremely dark place.
In their perception, extremely yin places are generally not good places. If you stay in such a place for a long time, you will be contaminated with strong yin energy, which may cause physical problems at least, or even death.
"We have to find the spiritual roots of heaven and earth as soon as possible, and then leave here." There was a hint of urgency in Ye Qiu's tone.
The environment here is too weird. If you stay here for a long time, something might happen.
Everyone nodded, quickened their pace, and continued deep into the Burial Heaven Abyss.
As they went deeper, the surrounding scene became even weirder.
Sometimes, they would hear some inexplicable whispers, as if countless dead souls were whispering in their ears.
Sometimes, you will see some illusory shadows floating before your eyes, fleeting and elusive, like ghosts.
"It's so disturbing here." Xuanyuan Ronger's voice was trembling.
Ye Qiu held Xuanyuan Ronger's hand tightly, gave her a touch of warmth, and softly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
As everyone continued to move forward, the ground under their feet seemed to be getting softer and softer, and every step seemed to be stepping on nothingness. This feeling made people feel scared, but they had to bite the bullet and continue.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by. This wind was different from the previous coldness, but carried a strange fragrance. This fragrance seemed particularly abrupt in this withered environment.
"Everyone, be careful, there's something wrong with this aroma." Ye Qiu quickly warned.
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scene began to change. The originally dark environment seemed to be lit up, but this light had a strange color, which made people feel uneasy.
"This is...an illusion of formations!" Master Changmei's expression changed, and he recognized that this was an illusion caused by some kind of formations.
Ye Qiu's eyes were sharp. He tried to use his spiritual consciousness to explore, but found that his spiritual consciousness seemed to be bound by an invisible force and could not extend very far.
"Concentrate, guard your mind, and don't be fooled by illusions."
Ye Qiu reminded loudly, and his voice echoed in everyone's ears, like a wake-up call.
Everyone nodded, closed their eyes tightly, concentrated, and tried to resist this sudden illusion.
However, in the illusion, various horrific scenes followed one after another. Some saw the things they feared most, while others fell into endless confusion and despair.
Xuanyuan Ronger closed her eyes tightly, but even so, she could still feel the creepy atmosphere around her. She held Ye Qiu's hand tightly, as if it was her only support.
"Don't be afraid, follow my breathing and take your time." Ye Qiu's voice rang in her ears, like a warm light, penetrating the fog of the illusion.
Under Ye Qiu's guidance, Xuanyuan Ronger gradually calmed down. She took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, the illusion in front of her began to become blurry, and eventually disappeared without a trace.
"Wake up!" Ye Qiu shouted, waking everyone up from the illusion.
Everyone opened their eyes one after another, with a trace of fear flashing in their eyes.
Unexpectedly, when they looked forward, they saw another scene.
