Qin Yun stumbled inside the dark cave, rolling out more than a dozen steps like a gourd on the ground. His body hit the hard stone wall until his eyes were black, and he finally stopped.
The effect of the protective talisman is almost annihilated at this moment!
Despite this, he felt endless joy in his heart, because there was no terrifying Yin wind in this cave. It was obviously a dead end, giving Qin Yun a chance to hide and breathe.
In other words, Qin Yun made the right bet!
Lying flat on the ground, he felt the power return to his body bit by bit, and his joy slowly dissipated.
Although he escaped, he was trapped deep in the Eye of the Wind Cave. How to escape was still a big problem. Moreover, there were two innate experts outside who were planning to deal with Shui Wan Ning. He knew about it but couldn't report it...
Qin Yun sat up from the ground and forced himself to calm down.
There is always a way, as long as you survive, there is always a way. Shui Wanning is chasing Yunfeng from afar, and the other party's conspiracy may not succeed. The most important thing for him is how to get out of here.
He began to explore the cave where he was.
This cave passage is not big. The height of five or six feet makes Qin Yun have to bend down if he wants to stand up. The rocks on the rock wall are uneven, and water seeps out from the cracks in the rock, splashing on the ground and making a crackling sound.
A clicking sound.
Dots of fluorescent stones were scattered on the surface of many rocks. The faint light they emitted allowed Qin Yun to barely see clearly what was going on inside the cave, preventing him from groping in the dark.
Now Qin Yun only had a Qinggang Sword in his hand. His luggage was taken away by the airflow when it rushed into the eye of the storm. He couldn't even save the ink snake. It could be said that he was completely out of ammunition and food.
After bending down and walking forward for dozens of steps, there was indeed a dead end ahead. The dark rock wall clearly told Qin Yun that this was the end of the cave.
Despite his expectations, his heart sank.
For Qin Yun, the best situation is to be able to return to the ground directly through this passage, but obviously this possibility does not exist.
However, Qin Yun did not despair yet. He discovered that this passage went up instead of down. If it were a few dozen steps longer, he might be able to reach the ground.
He took a deep breath and circulated Xuan Gong Qi into the sword body. The Qinggang Sword in his hand suddenly glowed with golden sword Qi, and the sword light illuminated the surrounding rock walls.
Crack!
The Qinggang Sword thrust straight forward, and the sharp sword energy broke through the rock face and instantly pierced the stone wall. The sword body penetrated straight into it until there was no handle!
"Hey!"
Qin Yunchen shouted, and the Gengjin Qi contained in the sword suddenly exploded, shattering the surrounding rocks, and large pieces of stone suddenly collapsed.
When he withdrew the Qinggang Sword, a gap two feet square and nearly seven feet deep appeared on the stone wall in front of him.
There is no other way. If he doesn't want to be trapped here and die, Qin Yun can only dig his way out. Fortunately, the rock is not particularly hard.
call out!
Suddenly, a stream of air rushed in from the breach, blowing up countless gravel powder.
Cough! Cough!
Caught off guard, Qin Yun took a sip. He couldn't help but cough again and again, feeling surprised in his heart.
What's going on?
After investigation, he was surprised to find that the stone wall was not that thick, and there was another wind channel on the back. Therefore, after it was penetrated, yin wind poured in through the gap.
This discovery made Qin Yun frown.
He didn't know whether the air duct on the back of the stone wall was going upward or downward. If the air flow inside was upward, he would have a great chance of returning to the ground after entering. If it was downward, there would be nothing to say.
But there is still a problem. Qin Yun only has one protective talisman, which has been used just now. Without the protection of the talisman, even if he can use the wind channel to escape, he will never be able to withstand the terrible Yin wind!
unless...
Qin Yun's eyes flashed with perseverance, no matter whether the outcome was good or bad, he would give it a try!
He found a clean place in the cave and sat down cross-legged. He abandoned all distracting thoughts, settled his energy in his Dantian and started practicing the Nine-Yang Xuan Gong, entering a state of cultivation in the blink of an eye.
At the same moment, Yinfeng Canyon.
Xiao Ming was restless in the cave that served as a temporary campsite. On the bonfire next to him, meat soup was boiling in a small iron pot, and the rich aroma of meat wafted in the cave.
But the young man didn't have the slightest appetite. Seeing that it was getting dark, Qin Yun still didn't return.
Every year, many disciples of the Tiancheng Sword Sect are trapped in the Yinfeng Canyon. Xiao Ming really does not hope that Qin Yun will become one of the missing people. There is always a lingering haze in his heart, as if there is something.
Bad things are happening.
Just as he gritted his teeth and was about to go outside to take a look, the entrance to the cave suddenly dimmed and a figure suddenly appeared.
"Senior Brother Qin Yun, you are finally..."
Xiao Ming was immediately overjoyed, but when he saw clearly the true appearance of the person who came, the following words suddenly got stuck in his throat.
The other party was not Qin Yun at all, but a strange middle-aged man with blood stains on his body.
The middle-aged man was also a little surprised. His eyes flashed and he asked in a deep voice: "Which peak are you a disciple of?"
Xiao Ming composed himself, saluted and asked: "Disciple Xiao Ming, Master Qingyun of Zhuiyun Peak, please ask me, senior..."
Although the other party seemed to have been seriously injured, his aura was extraordinary and not like an ordinary disciple at all, so he did not dare to show any slights.
"I am the deacon of Tianji Palace..." the middle-aged man replied: "I went to Yinfeng Gorge because of something, and I didn't expect to encounter the alienated Storm Beast King. I originally planned to heal here, but I didn't expect you to be here."
The Storm Beast King is a mid-level monster, and its mutated form is even more powerful, capable of resisting the innately strong ones.
Xiao Ming's heart moved and he quickly asked: "Senior, have you met my senior brother Qin Yun?"
"Qin Yun? I don't know him..." The middle-aged man muttered: "But I met a disciple in front. I don't know if he is your senior brother."
He briefly described the physical features of the other party, and Xiao Ming nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that is Senior Brother Qin Yun!"
"What a pity!" The middle-aged man sighed: "At that time, I only saw him fighting the violent wind beast, but he accidentally fell into a crack in the ground and I don't know whether he lived or died. Because I was injured by the violent wind beast king, I was unable to save him!"
"What!" Xiao Ming was suddenly shocked: "Senior brother Qin Yun fell into a crack in the ground? I have to save him..."
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand to stop him and scolded: "What's the point of going? It seems that your strength is only at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining. There are many monsters there. Although the beast king was beaten away by me, you will only die if you go."
!”
"I suggest you hurry back to the mountain gate to ask for help from the teacher before it gets completely dark. Maybe Qin Yun still has a chance to survive!"
Hearing that Qin Yun was in danger, Xiao Ming was completely confused. Hearing what the middle-aged man said was very reasonable, he immediately nodded and said: "Okay! I'll go back and ask Uncle Navy for help right away!"
"My colleagues from the Sword Sect are here to help each other. You go back and ask for help. I will heal your wounds here, and I can also help you when the time comes!" The middle-aged man said as he handed Xiao Ming a jade talisman: "This is a path-finding talisman. Use it to find the path."
You leave that place to your elders!"
Path-finding talismans are very common talismans, and there are many types. Some can explore the maze terrain, and some can record travel routes for repeated use. The path-finding talisman that the middle-aged man took out was made from spiritual jade and is worth a lot of money.
.
Xiao Ming, who didn't know the details, was extremely grateful. He took the jade talisman and saluted, "Thank you, senior!"
He was so anxious that he hurriedly left the cave and headed towards Tiancheng Sword Sect without even taking his luggage.
Shortly after Xiao Ming left, another figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, and it turned out to be Wu Qinghong.
She sat down opposite the middle-aged man and asked, "Is this guy hooked?"
The middle-aged man laughed: "The little guy is easy to coax. Our plan is half successful."
"But..." He changed the subject: "Shui Wanning may not be here alone. If she brings extra helpers, or if someone else comes to rescue, I won't take action."
"Don't worry, as long as Shui Wanning receives the news, she will definitely come as quickly as possible!" Wu Qinghong sneered: "She has the same temper as Lao Immortal, and she is protective of others. She will never sit still when she knows Qin Yun is in danger.
Don’t move!”
"So it must be her, not someone else!"
"Then we'll wait for her to take the bait!" The middle-aged man nodded.
He picked up the iron can placed on the bonfire, smelled it and handed it to Wu Qinghong: "This can of broth is cooked well. You can eat some first. It will be early tomorrow morning at the earliest when Shui Wanning comes over. We don't have to worry.
.”
Wu Qinghong reached out to take the tin can, but unexpectedly the middle-aged man grabbed her wrist and squeezed it gently.
He salivated, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes: "It's a clear red sky, the night is long, why don't we do something good here first, and I will make sure that Shui Wan Ning dies without a burial place tomorrow!"
Although Wu Qinghong was not a good person, she still felt strong resentment in her heart.
The other person's fingers were smooth and cold, like snake letters caressing her skin, making her feel like vomiting.
Wu Qinghong knew very well what kind of person the other party was. She wanted to seek skin from a tiger just to vent her anger, so she had no choice but to compromise with the other party. Of course, she did not dare to fall out at this time.
She forced a smile but did not pull back her hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't go back on what I promised!"
"As long as Shui Wan Ning is captured, I will let you do whatever you want, but your injury is not healed now. You have to recuperate at night, otherwise if Shui Wan Ning escapes tomorrow, we will both be in big trouble!"
Although the middle-aged man was jealous, he also understood the pros and cons. He reluctantly stroked Wu Qinghong's wrist twice, and finally put away his lust.
Wu Qinghong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but endless hatred surged in her heart.
If it wasn't for Shui Wanning, how could she have ended up in this situation?
This debt must be recovered, and all grudges must be settled, even if it costs her everything!
