Many disciples fanned themselves with the lapels of their clothes. Yes, they all did feel this way.
"Is it because this forest is airtight that it feels stuffy?" Xianqin, who had been silent since the mission, finally spoke now.
Feng Qingxuan felt vaguely strange in her heart. Logically speaking, monks at their level should have much less influence from the outside world, such as cold or heat. But it is really incredible that this place can make everyone sweat.
"I think that may not be the reason." Xi Yan shook his head and said. He squatted down and touched the soil on the ground. "Look, the temperature of the soil underground is higher than the temperature of the air."
Everyone squatted down. Feng Qingxuan put his hands on the ground and realized that the soil here was hot, as if there was a volcano below and was about to erupt upwards.
"There's something wrong here, please be careful." Xuanyuan Sheng said while staring around cautiously.
I don’t know how many hills they climbed over. The further they walked, the higher the temperature got. Originally they were walking in a mountain forest with dense trees, but gradually, the trees became sparse as they walked, as if even the trees couldn’t help here.
High temperatures make it impossible to survive.
There are no trees on the hillside they are climbing now. There is no soil at the foot of the mountain, and it is all hard rock. This is probably another reason why trees cannot grow.
Without trees, the mountain road is even more difficult to climb. Sometimes you need to use your hands and feet together. When your palms touch the hot rocks, they will be burned red immediately.
Under the test of this scorching temperature, everyone began to gradually lose their physical strength. They did not dare to use too much spiritual power to resist the heat, fearing that they would not have enough spiritual power in the event of a sudden enemy attack.
Seeing that everyone was exhausted, Xuanyuan Sheng and the others decided to let everyone rest where they were for the time being while they went to explore the road first.
The three of them continued to climb. Not long after climbing, they found a cave halfway up the mountain.
Standing in front of the cave, there was wind blowing out of the cave, which surprised the three of them. Moreover, the wind was actually mixed with a heat wave, which was a bit hotter than the wind outside. It seemed that it was hot here.
The center is average.
Maybe, this is it.
Looking at the dark hole, several masters at the Nascent Soul Stage felt a sense of fear in their hearts.
"It seems we need to go in and investigate." Xuanyuan Sheng sighed and said. To be honest, he really didn't want them to explore such a frightening place, but the facts in front of him seemed to have shown that
, this is where the puzzle is solved.
"Go and call everyone over, let's go in and check together." Li Qingchan said.
After a while, everyone gathered in front of the cave entrance. Feng Qingxuan felt the scorching wave of air blowing towards his face, which almost made people choke. Moreover, the wind that blew not only carried
It's the heat, and there's a fishy smell.
"Let's go." Xi Yan ordered and entered the cave first.
It was very dark inside the cave, and Feng Qingxuan and others had to concentrate their spiritual power on their eyes to see everything clearly.
Only then did they realize that this was no ordinary cave. The cave was very open. When they looked up, they couldn't even see the top of the cave!
"My dear, did you hollow out the entire mountain?" A disciple couldn't help but ask.
Even Feng Qingxuan had this idea. She wondered if the mountain was just an empty shell, and everything inside was empty.
The further you go in, the narrower the road under your feet becomes. But it is only the road under your feet that becomes narrower, while the entire cave becomes more and more open, but at some point both sides become bottomless cliffs.
Just walking.
Gradually, everyone was still moving side by side, but when they got to the back, it was so narrow that they could only allow people to walk one after another, as if they were driving a single-plank bridge over an abyss.
This feeling is as if it is not that the sides of the road are getting deeper and deeper to form a cliff, but that the place itself is a cliff but suddenly there is an extra road.
Walking on this road, everyone is extremely worried. If there is any attack on this narrow narrow path, there will be no place to fight back! If you move even slightly, you will definitely fall off the cliff! And if you are hit in front,
Attacks will affect the back, and attacks from the back will definitely affect the front. In short, in the end, they will all fall off the cliff!
And what kind of terrifying thing will be under this cliff? Or is it so deep that it will smash people to pieces?
Everyone is always extremely afraid of the unknown.
But the more I think about it, the more my eyes will involuntarily look down into the abyss. However, no matter how much spiritual power is concentrated on the eyes, the visual acuity can only reach tens of meters, and it will be pitch black again below.
The front of the road is also pitch black with no end visible. Looking at the whole cave, the entire cave is like a big black mouth, and this path is the tongue in the big mouth, and these people are following this tongue.
Send it to the other person's mouth.
Vaguely, Feng Qingxuan seemed to hear the roar of a wild beast coming from the abyss below.
Is it because I imagined the cave to be a big mouth, causing me to have auditory hallucinations?
"You...did you hear that?" The disciple who was walking at the end suddenly stopped moving and looked straight down into the abyss. His face turned pale, and he was obviously very frightened.
Feng Qingxuan's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't it just her hallucination? She was not the only one who heard the roar of the wild beast?
The three people walking in front also stopped, turned around and looked behind.
Xi Yan frowned slightly and said to the back: "Everyone, please be careful." Then he glanced at the last disciple, who was from their Tianjia Sect, and frowned deeper, "Before setting off, you should
We know that there are many dangers along the way, but you are so scared before anything happens, so don’t continue to embarrass our Tianjia Sect!”
Xi Yan's tone was very stern, and the disciple immediately lowered his head, "Brother, I was wrong."
Only then did Xi Yan turn around and the team continued to move forward. Xi Yan sighed in his heart. The disciple just now had reached the late stage of Nascent Soul. He relied solely on his talent and had never gone out to practice. Naturally, he would be frightened when something happened.
It's quite annoying.
The master chose these disciples this time, firstly because of their strength, and secondly because he hoped that they could get more experience. But if this situation continues, I don’t know if they will be able to return after this experience.
But Feng Qingxuan's mood was heavier than when he first entered the cave. Looking at everyone's expressions, Feng Qingxuan knew that they were not the only ones who heard the strange sound just now. Although the three people didn't say anything,
I'm afraid I heard it too. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, I didn't say anything.
