The sixth volume of the dance of demons: 1343 Cave in the River Styx
"Well, let's go." Liu Ming withdrew his gaze from the black snake's corpse, and the two of them continued to walk forward.
In the following time, the two of them continued to move forward at a slow pace, and there were mostly near misses along the way.
Some of the restrictions, mechanisms, and powerful Yin beasts in the cave had been cleared by the people in front of them, and the two of them walked away quite easily.
More than half an hour later, the surrounding black wind suddenly became a bit fiercer, swirling in the cave and making waves of terrifying screams, which made people's hearts beat with fear.
Liu Ming and the two slowed down their progress, turned a corner, and saw a fork in the cave ahead, with two passages appearing on the left and right, both of which vaguely seemed to lead deep underground.
"There are actually two roads..." The muscles on Liu Ming's face twitched.
Along the way, although the cave passages were curved from time to time, they were still one passage, and this was the first time that the road forked.
"It seems that the Gaohe family and Old Jackdaw are separated here." Zhao Qianying checked both passages and said.
Liu Ming nodded. He was also good at tracking and could roughly see the traces of people passing through the passages on both sides.
"Can you tell which side they are walking on?" He thought for a moment and asked.
Zhao Qianying thought for a moment and took out the little Jiuluo raccoon beast.
Jiuluo Li seemed to be quite afraid of the unpredictable wind around him. Zhao Qianying comforted him for a while before the little beast settled down. He sniffed the two passages with his nose and opened it to let out a high-pitched low cry.
Zhao Qianying listened intently, with a smile on her face. She turned her hand and put the little beast away, turned around and said to Liu Ming:
"The people from the Gaohe family are walking to the left, and those on the right are the old Jackdaw and his group."
"Okay, let's go to the right." Liu Ming pondered for a moment and suggested.
He has always avoided the Gaohe family. Back in the Donglu Mountains, he once killed a direct disciple of the Gaohe family. Although many years have passed, there is no guarantee that he will not be discovered by the other party.
Moreover, the Gaohe family is good at tracking, so tracking them is too risky.
"Since they are divided into two groups, it means that they are not familiar with the underground cave passages, and it will be the same whether they go left or right." Zhao Qianying nodded slightly and said.
Liu Ming's eyes flickered with light, and he suddenly waved his hand to shoot out a black light. The light flashed and turned into a black rune, slowly blending into the ground at the fork in the road.
This is a sensing rune. As long as someone passes by here, he can sense it immediately.
Zhao Qianying saw Liu Ming's actions, her beautiful eyes were startled, and then she understood Liu Ming's intention, and secretly praised the other party for his carefulness.
"Let's go." After Liu Ming finished doing this, he flew away to the right first. Zhao Qianying looked at Liu Ming's back, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she followed.
Although this passage is a fork, its width has not decreased at all, and there is now a biting chill in the surrounding wind, as well as a trace of heavy water vapor.
I don't know if it is for this reason that the visibility in the cave has been greatly reduced. With Liu Ming's purple-striped demon eyes, he can only see a distance of about a hundred feet.
"Be careful, the situation around you seems to be a little different from just now." Liu Ming warned, a silver light flashed on his body, and a set of fleshy armor appeared.
Zhao Qianying also noticed the changes around her and nodded solemnly.
The two walked forward cautiously for a while, and the passage turned again. Just as they turned the corner, two green lights suddenly appeared in the darkness in front of them, which seemed to be a pair of eyes.
The next moment, a black shadow shot towards the two of them like arrows, with two green eyes flashing fiercely.
Liu Ming snorted coldly, and the fleshy armor on his body glowed with silver light. A silver tentacle stretched out like lightning, flew forward, and struck the black shadow hard like a whip.
There is a crisp sound of "pop"!
The black shadow was knocked backwards and hit the stone wall of the passage heavily.
Only now did the two of them see clearly. The black figure was actually a gray ape that was as tall as a person. It had thick black hair like steel needles on its body, sharp purple-black claws on its fingers, a sunken face, and green eyes.
, dagger-like fangs sprouted out of his mouth, looking quite ferocious.
"The water-gathering ape!" Liu Ming exclaimed. He had seen this kind of ape-like underworld beast in the River Styx. It was a rather powerful water-attributed underworld beast.
The gray ape hit the wall, and then fell to the ground. A Gulu quickly got up as if nothing had happened, let out a vicious hiss, and rushed towards the two people again, as if he had some deep grudge against them.
The ape waved its two arms, and the surrounding air became cold. Dozens of blue ice crystals emerged, and then they shot towards Liu Ming and Liu Ming like crossbows.
Liu Ming's eyes darkened, and the fleshy armor on his body shone with silver light. He stretched out six or seven tentacles and waved them forward.
The eight tentacles intertwined into a large silver net, smashing all the blue ice crystals that shot up, and the gray ape was knocked away again.
Whizzing!
The two silver tentacles were blurred and tightly wrapped around the gray ape's waist.
A small golden sword flew out from Liu Ming's waist, and passed between the gray ape's brows with a "swish" sound.
A small hole appeared on the front and back of the gray ape's head, and all the red and white stuff flowed out. The body struggled twice unconsciously and stopped moving.
Zhao Qianying put her hand on a bag at her waist, and before she could take action, the battle was already over.
"What kind of strange ape is this? It's not weak in strength. It's equivalent to a demon in the true elixir stage. It doesn't look like a Yin beast with low intelligence. Why is it so cruel and violent?" Zhao Qianying looked at the corpse of the gray ape and said,
He said with some doubts.
"The reason should be in front." Liu Ming threw away the body of the gray ape immediately, put away the silver tentacles on his body, moved his body, and flew forward, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Zhao Qianying was startled and hurriedly followed.
Liu Ming flew forward several hundred feet, and the water vapor in the air became thicker and thicker. The cave passage in front of him suddenly opened up, revealing a huge underground space.
This space is hundreds of feet in size. The top is an inverted dense stalactite. On the ground below is a dark black river dozens of feet wide. It emits bursts of black water vapor and yin energy. It is a large Nine Netherworld River.
.
"Haha, there is indeed an underground River Styx, no wonder that water-joining ape appears." Liu Ming looked at the River Styx in front of him, a look of excitement flashed in his eyes.
He looked around for a few times, his face changed slightly, and he looked towards the bank of the Styx River.
There, there was also a gray ape lying there. It was slightly smaller than the one just now, and its body was slightly slender. However, at this moment, its body had been chopped into several sections, and it had long since lost its breath.
"I see..." Liu Ming's eyes flashed.
In the incident of Jiuyou, he read from the classics that the ginseng ape always acted together, one female and one male. The one in front of him should be the female ginseng ape. It was killed by the old man Jackdaw and his group who came here by chance. Then
The male ginseng water ape was probably not there at the time. When he came back, he found the female ape dead. He thought it was Liu Ming and the others who had done it, so he attacked regardless of his life.
After thinking about this, he sighed in his heart.
Zhao Qianying also caught up at this moment, and when she saw the Styx in front of her, a look of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.
The cold air near the Styx River suddenly became several times sharper. With Zhao Qianying's cultivation level, her face was still slightly pale.
"What kind of water quality is this, so cold and bitter?" Zhao Qianying asked with a bright red light on her dark red soft armor, and her face looked better now.
"This is the water of the Styx." Liu Ming said lightly, and then ignored her, muttering something in his mouth, waving his hand and sacrificing three mountain and river beads that had been refined into cave magic weapons.
He waved his hand and cast the spell, and the three Cave Heaven Mountain River Pearls flew into the Styx River with a large amount of earthy light.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed with light, and he muttered words, opening the space of three caves and Tianshan River beads.
The next moment, countless waters of the Styx swarmed into the inner space of the three cave Tianshan river beads, forming three huge whirlpools.
Liu Ming's eyes were full of joy. Although he had refined a lot of Styx heavy water when he left the Nine Netherworld, he had almost consumed it during these years of practice. He originally wanted to buy some heavy water from the Ten Thousand Demons Continent.
While practicing, I didn't expect to encounter such a Styx River in the secret realm of Demon Abyss.
However, he does not have time to refine the water of the Styx into heavy water now. Fortunately, he has already refined three mountain and river beads into a cave magic weapon. The internal space is dozens of miles in diameter. If it is filled with the water of the Styx, it will be enough.
Been using it for quite some time.
Moreover, the mountain and river beads are also refined with the heavy water of the Styx. When you advance to the cave heaven magic weapon, the heavy water of the Styx will also be of great help.
Upon thinking of this, Liu Ming waved his hand again, sacrificed the other nine mountain and river beads, flew them into the River Styx, and began to fill them with water.
Although these nine mountain and river beads have not been refined into heavenly magic weapons, they have each created some space inside, and can also hold a lot of water from the Styx.
For a time, three large, nine small, and twelve whirlpools were spinning rapidly on the entire surface of the Styx River, wildly devouring the water of the Styx River.
Soon, the internal space of the twelve mountain and river beads was filled, causing the surface of the Styx to sink quite a bit.
Liu Ming's face was filled with joy, he muttered something in his mouth, waved his hand to play the magic formula, and with a flash of yellow light, twelve mountain and river beads flew out of the river and flew back to his hand.
Perhaps because they are filled with Styx water, the weight of the twelve mountain and river beads has obviously increased a lot, and the driving is slightly slower than before.
And according to his estimation, if you hit someone with this mountain and river bead, the power would be twice as powerful as before.
"I seem to have seen in the classics that the water of the Styx should be the unique water quality of the Nine Netherworld. Why did Brother Liu take so much water of the Styx? It seems that it is not of much use to us demons.
Really?" Zhao Qianying asked with some confusion when she saw Liu Ming's behavior.
