The structure of the inner area of the Necromantic Abyss is different from that of the outer area. Although the trees are tall, they are not lush, the view is relatively wide, and the ground is rugged, with faults and valleys appearing from time to time.
"Roar!"
The raptors were running in the forest, and the trees were shaking. Qianyu and Lingyun lay motionless in the bushes, not daring to make a sound. After three hours of trekking, they had entered the inner area of the Necromantic Abyss.
The beasts are all extraordinary, each one can kill a solid Yuan realm cultivator in an instant, and their strength is unparalleled.
Even the mining teams sent by the Yuan family and the Qian family in Qingyan City, traveling together and well prepared, did not dare to step into the inner area and could only stay away. This is the tomb of the cultivator. If anyone enters accidentally, it will be very dangerous.
Very few people make it out alive.
Qianyu is very cautious, and his two years in the jungle have made him very alert. Although his strength is low, his perception of danger has reached a terrifying level, which even a solid Yuan realm cultivator may not have.
Such powerful perception is the main reason why he dared to enter the inner area with Ling Yun.
"It's safe." After the beast was far away, Ling Yun breathed a frightened sigh of relief. If it hadn't been for Qian Yu's reminder along the way, she wouldn't have been able to survive until now. As for Qian Yu's "perverted" general perception ability, she could only
She could secretly marvel in her heart. Fortunately, she met Qianyu. Otherwise, her plan to steal the Red Flame Divine Bird Egg would have been ruined.
"According to the marks on the map, we still have about three thousand meters to reach our destination. Try to be careful. There are extremely vicious birds of prey in this area. You must not mess with them." Qianyu said in a low voice with a serious expression on his face.
Serious and beyond doubt.
"Yes." Ling Yun nodded immediately. She had no doubt about Qianyu's words and had absolute trust, even though they had known each other for less than three days. The more dangerous the situation, the more she could see that
With a person's character and Qianyu's rich experience in the jungle, it would be easy for him to take the map and leave alone. However, Qianyu had no idea in this regard.
Although Qianyu is still silent and seldom speaks, he takes good care of her, which is very different from the indifference when they first met. Actual actions are often more convincing than words. This is why Ling Yun believes in Qianyu.
reason.
"Walk."
Qianyu hunched over and stood up lightly without making a sound. After looking around for a while and confirming that there was no danger around him, he cautiously stepped forward. Ling Yun also imitated his example, holding her breath and concentrating step by step.
He followed closely behind, not daring to make the slightest movement.
It was noon, with the scorching sun in the sky, Qianyu and the others continued to march. In front of them was a hillside. There were no plants on the reddish-brown land. It was desolate and barren, with jagged rocks and no life at all. Even before they got close, they could feel it.
The heat that seeps in, this is a volcano.
The volcano is not very tall. Qianyu and Ling Yun easily reached the top without much effort. The top is a crater, about ten meters wide. Looking from top to bottom, the lower part is red and hot magma is constantly emerging.
Bubbles, the scorching high temperature turns into hot gas, and rushes straight towards the crater. On both sides of the magma are mountains composed of reddish-brown stones.
Observing the surrounding terrain, Qianyu maintained a high degree of vigilance. He noticed a powerful wave hidden inside the volcano, which must be the red flame bird.
"The red flame bird's nest is down there, let's go in now." Ling Yun suggested.
"The Red Flame Divine Bird only goes out to look for food at noon. It is not yet noon, so it should still be in the nest. Just wait." Qianyu gave advice and hid near the crater with Ling Yun.
Behind the rocks, the temperature around the volcano was very high. Coupled with the scorching sun, both of them were sweating profusely and their clothes were soaked through.
"It's so hot... My mouth is dry now and I feel uncomfortable all over. It's so painful." Ling Yun has been pampered since she was a child. She has always had clothes to eat and food to open her mouth. She has rarely experienced such pain. After waiting for a while, she began
Complaining quietly.
"If you want to get the Red Flame Divine Bird's egg, you have to pay a price." Qianyu said coldly.
"I didn't say I was leaving, I was just complaining." Ling Yun raised her eyebrows and asked, "Qianyu, do you still have your wine?"
"What? Didn't you say it tastes bad?" Qianyu said this, but still took out the "happy" wine he brewed and handed it to Ling Yun.
"Remember, don't drink too much, so as not to waste it." Qianyu reminded.
"Cheapskate." Ling Yun muttered nonchalantly, and then took a slight sip. The medicinal wine was indeed extremely bitter, and her face wrinkled up, but this time she did not vomit, but forced herself to drink it.
Go down.
After drinking the medicinal wine, Ling Yun felt that her physical strength had recovered a little. She felt it was amazing that this bitter and astringent medicinal wine had the effect of restoring the body, and she felt a little more admiration for Qianyu in her heart.
"Haw!"
A sharp, long cry came from inside the crater. The two Qianyu people who had been waiting for a long time immediately cheered up and stared at the crater. The next moment, a big red bird flew out from the inside.
, like a fiery red thunder and lightning, speeding like lightning, about ten meters in size, with flames wrapped around its wings, like two blazing fires.
Its eyes were bright, like copper bells, scanning the front, very domineering, and with a wave of its arms, its huge wings fanned out a blast of hot wind. Suddenly sand and rocks were flying, and dust was everywhere. Qianyu and Ling Yun quickly covered their mouths,
Hold your breath and concentrate.
In the blink of an eye, the red flame divine bird was already a thousand meters away, and Qianyu made a gesture: "Action!"
The two people immediately stood up, jumped down, and landed firmly inside the volcano. The interior was very empty. Except for the magma in the central area, there were many holes of different sizes on the surrounding mountain walls. The holes were long and deep.
Looks like a snake cave.
There is a naturally formed cave on the east stone wall, which is more than ten meters high. The cave extends inward with no end in sight. This should be the nest of the red flame bird. Qianyu took Ling Yun into the cave.
At the entrance of the cave, a stone tablet was erected. The stone tablet was about a person tall, with four large characters written on it.
Qianyu took a closer look and saw that only two of the four large characters could be barely discerned, which were "王...ju". There were two characters in the middle that were completely blurred and could not be distinguished.
"The king...resides..." Qianyu recited silently, feeling a little excited in his heart. If what Ling Yun said is correct, this place may be the burial place of the princess!
If the princess's relics are found, it is possible to find a way to break the "death orifice". Although the probability of this happening is very small, Qianyu is willing to give it a try!
"Let's go in and take a look."
Qianyu's expression became tense and he couldn't wait to enter the cave. Ling Yun followed closely behind him. The temperature in the cave was suitable and not too hot. The Red Flame Divine Bird was very spiritual and took this into consideration when looking for its nest.
On both sides of the stone wall, there are many figures of the same size carved on them. Many villains punch each other, and the power of thunder bursts out from their fists. Qianyu looked carefully and found that these scattered figures were not chaotic. They seemed to be.
While practicing a set of boxing techniques, he silently recorded these patterns. Although he didn't understand these patterns, he had a hunch that these patterns were definitely not drawn randomly.
Ling Yun only glanced at it a few times and was completely uninterested in the figures on the wall. She kept going deeper and before long, the two of them came to the nest of the red flame bird.
The view here is wide, and there are flame stones on the stone walls for lighting. More than ten meters away from the two people is a huge deep pit. The road continues to extend and is divided into two corridors on the left and right. Both corridors are only as high as one person, and both are
It was very narrow and could only be passed by one person. It was dark inside and it was unclear where it led. The two stopped there and approached the deep pit.
Just as Ling Yun was about to go over, Qian Yu grabbed her, picked up a small stone, and threw it into the pit. A slight sound was heard, but nothing happened.
"What a cautious guy..." Ling Yun muttered, and immediately walked towards the pit. The pit was about five meters deep and more than ten meters wide. It had an irregular shape and two fiery red bird eggs were quietly placed there.
At the very bottom, the surface of the eggshell is rhythmically shining with crystal luster, which is extremely magical.
"Found it!" As soon as she saw the two bird eggs at the bottom of the pit, Ling Yun's beautiful eyes shone with light. She immediately jumped down and landed at the bottom of the pit. Unable to suppress her inner joy, she tried to reach out to get them.
of a bird egg.
"Wait..." Before Qianyu could say anything, Ling Yun had completed her movements. Just when she was about to touch the egg, a small fiery red snake suddenly jumped out from under the egg and bit her.
fingers.
"ah!"
Ling Yun screamed and waved her right hand wildly to throw the little snake away. The little snake hit the stone wall and died, with a row of shallow teeth marks on her fingers.
"This is the Red Flame Snake. It lives in the nest of the Red Flame Divine Bird. It is fiery red in color and is good at hiding. The Red Flame Divine Bird feeds on it. Its attack power is not high, but its toxicity is fire poison. It will kill you within half an hour.
It will permeate the whole body." Qianyu explained with a slight frown.
"Then what should we do now?" Ling Yun frowned and looked at Qianyu.
"Take the eggs and leave quickly!"
"Okay." Ling Yun hurriedly stuffed the two bird eggs into the mustard bag, and then planned to leave. Qianyu didn't want to leave yet. He wanted to enter the two corridors to find out.
Qianyu took out a white medicine bottle and handed it to Ling Yun. He said seriously: "There is medicine powder in it to relieve fire poison. You can leave first. I won't leave for the time being."
"Why?" Ling Yun asked.
Qianyu replied: "Let's go quickly, don't ask so many questions."
Ling Yun guessed Qian Yu's thoughts. He would not leave until he found the relics left by the princess. After hesitating for a while, she turned around and left, heading for the exit.
Qianyu approached the corridor. The two corridors on the left and right were both dark and gloomy. It was unclear where they led. Two small characters were carved on the top of the corridor. The one on the left was the road to life, and the one on the right was the road to death.
"Which one should I choose..." Qianyu looked at the two corridors on the left and right and fell into a tangle.
"Snake! What a big snake!"
After a while, Ling Yun, who had left, suddenly turned around and ran back. Then, Qianyu saw in horror that a red flame snake more than ten meters long appeared in his sight. It was huge and had fire all over its body.
It has red scales, red pupils, and a sharp horn on its head, which is very imposing.
"Red Flame Snake King?"
His heart skipped a beat, and Qianyu instantly felt his scalp numb. The Red Flame Snake King had extraordinary strength and could instantly kill cultivators in the Solid Yuan Realm and even the Yuan Yin Realm!
"Enter the corridor!"
At the critical moment, Qianyu rushed over, pulling Ling Yun, who was so nervous that his face turned pale, and rushed into the right corridor closest to him in a panic.
"hiss!"
At the same time, the Red Flame Snake King opened its bloody mouth and spit out a bunch of flames. The flames just hit the entrance of the corridor. With a "bang", the entire corridor shook, and stone fragments fell. Qianyu and Ling Yun
He happened to enter the corridor and thus escaped disaster.
"It's so dangerous..." Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Qianyu, you saved me again."
"Don't rejoice too early, there may be greater dangers lurking in this corridor." Qianyu said seriously.
"With you here, I have nothing to fear." Ling Yun said optimistically.
Qianyu could only smile bitterly, Ling Yun actually trusted him so much that even he himself was not sure.
"Miss Ling, now is not the time for joking. Do you know what path we have chosen?"
