In the dark passage, Xiao Yan hugged Qing Lin tightly in his arms. Their bodies continued to slide down with the help of the slope of the passage. In Qing Lin's small hand, he was holding a moonstone, faintly.
The soft gaze radiated from it, allowing Xiao Yan to distinguish whether there were any obstacles on the road ahead.
Not far behind Xiao Yan and the others, more than a dozen faint rays of light followed closely. The crowd pressed their buttocks against the cave wall, and the sound of hisses slowly echoed in the passage.
When his body was sliding down, Xiao Yan's eyes swept over the cave walls on both sides of him. After a while, he was a little surprised to find that this passage was actually extremely smooth, with almost no stone protruding from the cave wall. This passage
, it looks like it was violently impacted by an extremely huge energy column.
After the descending speed continued for nearly two or three minutes, Xiao Yan could already see the bottom of the passage. The soles of his feet were slightly bent. A moment later, with a slight muffled sound, his body fell to the ground in an arch shape.
During the stretch, all the rebounding force of the fall was resolved.
After falling to the ground, Xiao Yan released Qing Lin from his arms, pulled her forward a few steps, and scanned the road ahead, and sure enough, he discovered that there were more than a dozen dark passages.
Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, and smiled at Qing Lin: "You should sense it, otherwise, if you go down these more than ten passages, it will take several days to completely search them."
"Yes." He nodded lightly, holding Xiao Yan with Qinglin's small hand, blinking slightly, and saw three extremely tiny green dots appearing quietly around the green pupils.
Because the light in the passage was quite dim, even Xiao Yan did not notice the change in Qing Lin's eyes.
As Qing Lin slowly closed his eyes and sensed the breath in the passage, the surroundings slowly calmed down again. After a moment, there was a series of slight muffled sounds from behind. Xiao Yan knew that it was Xiao Ding and the others who had rushed.
Come.
He turned his head slightly, made a silencing gesture to Xiao Ding and others who had landed on the ground, and then pointed at Qing Lin with his eyes closed.
Seeing Xiao Yan's movements, Xiao Ding nodded slightly and made a gesture. The people on the ground behind him also swallowed up the questions in a tacit understanding.
Putting away the rope in their hands, Xiao Ding and the other Motie mercenary members slowly drew out their weapons, and then quietly stepped forward to protect Xiao Yan and Qinglin. Their cautious eyes continued to scan around them.
.
The silence lasted for a moment, and Qing Lin finally gradually opened his green eyes. He pointed to a passage to the left with his little finger and said softly: "Master. Although there are some residual auras in the other passages, this one
There are several passages, but it is the thickest among them. It seems that the person stayed here the longest half a year ago!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan glanced at the dark passage. This passage was obviously extremely long. As he looked, he saw a deep darkness. Looking at this situation, Xiao Yan couldn't help but frown slightly.
Turning their heads, Xiao Yan and Xiao Ding looked at each other. They took a breath and were about to walk in first, but were suddenly stopped by Xiao Ding.
"Wait a minute..." Xiao Ding shook his head slightly at Xiao Yan, then turned to a rather sturdy man and whispered softly: "Ham, go and detect if there is anything in this passage.
There’s something special hidden there.”
"Yes." After hearing this, the big man named Ham nodded, walked to the dark passage, then lay down and touched the sand with his side face. At the same time, he inserted a pair of palms into the sand hard.
In the face.
"What is this?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but asked in shock after seeing Ham's strange behavior.
"Ham's attribute is a variant form of the earth attribute. The sand attribute... So, in the desert, he can use the sand to sense some hidden auras that are difficult for others to detect." Xiao Ding explained.
"In such an unknown place, we have to be careful in everything. It is not a wise move to rush in randomly."
"Haha, there are quite a few strange people in the Motie Mercenary Group. Such teamwork is naturally much better than letting me run around alone." Xiao Yan smiled and sighed.
"Just some life-saving tricks." Xiao Ding shook his head casually and looked up at the big man who had finished the detection: "How is it?"
"The detection has not been completed..." Ham frowned and shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "I detected a distance of nearly five hundred meters and found no other hidden auras. However, just when I planned to continue to explore to the end, I was surprised.
I discovered that in deeper places, the earth-attributed energy had completely disappeared, and was replaced by extremely hot fire-attributed energy. In that environment, my detection was of no use at all."
"Earth energy has disappeared?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan and Xiao Ding were both shocked. In the depths of the desert, where the earth energy was supposed to be the richest, how could it have completely disappeared?
"It seems that there is indeed something weird here." Xiao Yan murmured softly, but a blazing flame danced in his dark eyes. The weirder this place is, the greater the chance that there is a strange fire.
This is undoubtedly exciting news for Xiao Yan, who has been struggling to find the strange fire.
Seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, Xiao Ding shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to swallow some of his words to persuade him to act with caution.
"Let's go, go in and take a look. If you find that something is wrong, I suggest you retreat first and then make a long-term plan. After all, we already know the location here. As long as we spend some time, we should be able to achieve our goal." Xiao Ding said solemnly.
.
Xiao Yan smiled, gently stroked the Xuan Zhong Ruler on his back with his palm, exhaled lightly, put Qing Lin behind him, and then took the lead in walking towards this dark passage.
Walking into the dark passage, Xiao Yan felt a little cold all over. He licked his lips, squinted his eyes slightly and scanned the smooth cave walls around him. He scratched the ring with his fingers and returned it with one finger.
The Qi Pill was quickly stuffed into his mouth. This action has almost become Xiao Yan's habitual action before doing anything. After all, maybe at some point, that little bit of fighting spirit will determine life or death.
Huge effect.
"Remember, place a moonstone on the cave wall every fifty meters..." Listening to Xiao Ding behind him whispering instructions to the members of the Motie mercenary group, Xiao Yan in front couldn't help but clicked his tongue in his heart.
My eldest brother is really impeccable when it comes to doing things, and he has a firm grasp on every little thing.
More than a dozen figures, relying on the light of the moonstone, walked slowly in the dark passage. Since none of them could figure out what the danger was, everyone kept silent in unison. Along the way, except for the movement of their footsteps,
Apart from a slight rustling, there was almost silence.
In the dark and deep passage, there seemed to be no concept of time. Everyone just kept moving forward stiffly, and the passage seemed to have no end, and the light at the end could never be seen. This kind of
The scene... is like constantly walking towards the center of the earth...
As the distance got deeper and deeper, Xiao Yan suddenly noticed that the cold feeling surrounding his body suddenly dissipated and was replaced by a faint heat.
Feeling this change, Xiao Yan paused slowly, turned his head slightly, looked at Xiao Ding and others, looked at the surprise on their faces, licked his lips lightly, and whispered: "It turns out that the earth attribute energy did not disappear.
It’s because the earth-fire energy here is so dense that it completely suppresses the earth-attribute energy to the point where it’s hard to detect…”
"We have just entered the range of fire attribute energy and it is already so rich. If we continue down, how terrifying will it be? Is there really a strange fire down here?" Xiao Ding said in shock.
.
Xiao Yan pursed his lips, and the fireworks of desire were rising in his eyes. The strange fire. Ever since he practiced Fen Jue, the wonders of heaven and earth that he had always dreamed of were about to appear in front of him. This kind of thing was about to appear in front of him.
The sudden feeling of happiness almost made Xiao Yan's body tremble with excitement...
"Let's go, continue. Everyone, if you can't stand the fire energy around you, please stop. Otherwise, if you continue, you may spontaneously combust..." Xiao Yan took a deep breath, turned around, and said solemnly
The way.
"Yes." Seeing Xiao Yan's serious expression, everyone did not dare to neglect and nodded quickly.
"Qing Lin, if you feel that you can't hold on, then tell me, you know?" Xiao Yan lowered his head and said in a deep voice to Qing Lin.
"Yes." He nodded obediently. Judging from the expression on Qinglin's little face, it seemed that there was nothing unusual about the blazing fire energy around him.
After the instructions were given, Xiao Yan tightened his fists, then took another big step, heading towards the deeper and deeper passage.
During the next journey, as everyone went deeper, the fire attribute atmosphere around them became more and more intense. Several members of the less powerful group began to be unable to bear the high temperature and had no choice but to retreat.
Although some people retreated, the depth continued, and in the end, only Xiao Yan, Xiao Ding and Qing Lin survived. The others couldn't stand the increasingly violent fire energy and all quit.
As he went deeper, Xiao Yan's expression became more and more solemn, but in addition to the solemnity, there was also a hint of ecstasy, because he could feel that the Fenjue operation route in his body was not driven by him at all.
Under the circumstances, the Purple Fire Fighting Qi was automatically driven and began to rotate rapidly. This was the first time that had happened since practicing.
"We're almost there..." After turning a corner again, a red light appeared at the end of the passage not far away. Seeing this, Xiao Yan's body shivered with excitement. He wiped the sweat from his face and said in a hoarse and dry voice.
During the final journey, the three of them accelerated faster and faster, quickly passing through this short distance, and then came to the end of the passage...
Standing at the end of the passage, the three of them looked at the fiery red world that appeared in front of them, their faces...shocked...
