Everyone shuddered, and Ziying murmured in a low voice: "Who said just now that this test is not life-threatening..."
Zhen Ni did not refute Zi Ying's words, she stared blankly ahead, and then sighed. This place was completely unexpected, and she couldn't think of any good solution.
"Go down and try. Those who can't withstand the cold can stay up there." Xiao Yan said.
He didn't want to let go of the great opportunity that Jiuxing Dou Emperor said. Since ancient times, if you want to get an opportunity, it will never be without danger. He plans to go deep into it personally and understand it clearly, and will never give up until the last step.
"Young Master Xiao, just stay up there. We can just go down." Xiao Zhan was worried about Xiao Yan and would not let Xiao Yan take risks. As for the unknown big opportunity, if it was an item, they would give it to Xiao Yan when they came up.
So everyone stopped Xiao Yan.
"The so-called opportunity is only destined to a certain person. Not everyone can get it at will. Those who can go there should try their luck." Xiao Yan knew what everyone was thinking, but he still insisted on going there in person.
"But this chill..." Everyone knew Xiao Yan's character, and once he made a decision, he would not change it easily. They didn't say anything more, they were just worried about Xiao Yan's strength.
"Have you forgotten that I am a ghost? Ghosts are cold things in the world." Xiao Yan comforted everyone with a smile. But this is indeed the case. Among everyone, Xiao Yan didn't seem to be too cold about the river water.
of discomfort.
"I'll accompany Young Master Xiao." Zhen Ni said. Her support made Xiao Yan feel warm in his heart.
"Let's do this. Xiao Zhan, I, Le Shaolong, Nan Erming will go down, Zhen Ni, Zi Ying, and Feng Feng will stay where they are." Xiao Yan said slowly after thinking twice.
Among the people, Zi Ying and Feng Feng were relatively weak and could barely withstand the chill of the river above. While he and Le Shaolong were away, Zhen Ni was the best leader and could handle emergencies calmly.
Zhen Ni was so smart, she immediately understood what Xiao Yan meant, sighed deeply, and did not insist anymore, while Ziying and Fengfeng bit their purple lips from the cold, knowing that they would only be a burden if they went down, so they nodded sadly.
"You must come back alive. I'll wait for you. If something happens to you, I won't live alone in this world." Just as Xiao Yan was preparing to warm up, Zhen Ni's message gently floated into Xiao Yan's ears.
inside.
Xiao Yan was stunned, his heart became hot, he turned to look at Zhen Ni, his eyes were full of tenderness and emotion, and he nodded resolutely.
Afterwards, Xiao Yan and others jumped into the funnel hand in hand.
As soon as everyone jumped to the top of the whirlpool, the huge suction force formed by the funnel immediately pulled everyone down, and the water mist in the sky swallowed up the four people in an instant.
The sound of water rumbled like thunder, and the funnel of the underground river was pitch black, making it very eerie. Xiao Yan and the four of them held hands, and their figures spun sharply in the rushing river. The centrifugal force of the water flow was compared to that of a tornado, and the actual pulling force was stronger than the invisible force.
The wind was even more terrifying. The four of them were like leaves rushing down a waterfall. They could not stabilize their bodies at all and could only fall downwards with the current.
The water flow tore the muscles and compressed the chest, making breathing extremely difficult. The four people's tightly clenched fingers had green veins protruding from the force, and the joints were green and white, and it was almost impossible to pull.
The biting undercurrent covered everyone's body with layers of thick ice, which was quickly washed away by the water flow, and then covered and washed away again, over and over again. Every time the thick ice fell, it pulled the skin, as if it was tearing the skin apart alive.
Kailai felt severe pain in his heart and bone-chilling chill, but everyone had already been frozen and could only barely use their fighting spirit to resist.
The speed of falling continued to accelerate sharply, the water currents squeezed each other, stirred, and became more and more dense. The coldness condensed together, making the fighting energy in the four people's bodies become sluggish, and the flow became increasingly unsmooth.
It will be impossible to resist.
Xiao Yan quickly activated his ghost power, and a cold energy covered his whole body along his Dantian, and then spread to everyone along the interlocking palms. Then everyone's body warmed up slightly and regained some consciousness.
With the help of ghosts and spirits, the first thing everyone did after the chill subsided was to grasp each other's hands and form a tight circle.
Everyone continued to spin and fall in the direction of the water flow, and soon moved away from the centrifugal force in the center of the whirlpool.
Xiao Yan has two ghost spirits, and the cold has the least impact on them. He has been secretly measuring in his heart. It is estimated that everyone has fallen at least nearly three thousand meters, and they have not yet reached the end. The direction of the underground river seems to have no end.
The further down you go, the deeper the chill becomes, but without the constraints of the swirling rapids, Xiao Yan and the others slowly stabilize their bodies and take stock of their surroundings, but except for the sound of water, there is nothing around them.
.
Everyone continued to fall.
There is no concept of time in the dark river. I don’t know how long it took. Suddenly, there was a faint light in the distance. The speed of everyone’s fall also magically slowed down. The light became stronger and stronger, and the speed of everyone’s fall also became faster and faster.
Slowly, finally, there was a light in front of them, and everyone's feet touched a soft object. Before they had time to react, they fell to the ground.
Feeling the solid ground under their feet, everyone stood up. There was no water flow around, and the air was very dry. Looking up, the water of the underground river stopped above a layer of light curtain, which was very magical.
Everyone looked around, but it was still dark and silent, without a sound.
"Finally arrived at the ground, and for the first time I felt the uncomfortable feeling of being suspended in the air."
Xiao Zhan said while stretching his muscles.
"Thanks to Mr. Xiao's ghost power this time, otherwise what would come down might just be a few ice sculptures." Le Shaolong joked, and a rare smile appeared on Nan Erming's face.
"As long as everyone is safe, let's move on." Xiao Yan stood for a moment to catch his breath and said to the three of them.
After walking for more than ten miles, the soil on the ground suddenly became soft, and the soles of the feet stepping on it could be completely submerged. Everyone did not pay attention, but after walking out for hundreds of feet, everyone felt that it was getting colder and biting, as if
The north wind blew snow on me.
"What the hell is this place? The further we go, the colder it gets." Xiao Zhan muttered.
Xiao Yan did not speak, he carefully watched his surroundings.
After everyone continued to move forward for several hundred meters, they saw dry bones all over the ground. They were densely packed everywhere and had long since decayed. If they were stepped lightly under their feet, they would turn into ashes.
Under the power of time, nothing can last forever, but this seems to be no longer like the place built by the owner of the temple, but more like another ancient ruins. Could it be that there is another place connected to this illusion?
When we arrived here, the front began to feel empty, like an ice cellar, and the cold wind blew like knives on people's skin, making everyone feel more uneasy.
Standing on the same spot, Xiao Yan did not move and looked at the surrounding environment carefully.
This is a valley, and in the center of the valley stands a nearly ten-meter-high stone tablet. The stone tablet is very broken, covered with mottled marks of time, and the ancient atmosphere flows on it.
Because there has been no sunshine for many years, the wind in the valley is howling, and shadows are everywhere. Among the piles of dead bones everywhere, there are hazy ghosts floating unconsciously, very faint, but no ghosts dare to approach around the stone monument. It seems that
What power does the stone tablet have to ward off evil spirits?
"It seems that a fierce battle is unavoidable." Le Shaolong sighed and took out his double thorns. It seems that the shadow of the ancestor of the resentful spirit has not been eliminated in his heart.
