Zhan Chen took out a few healing and restorative elixirs from the Qiankun bag, stuffed them into his mouth, and then continued to search for Zhou Ziru in the valley, dragging his pain with him.
What a desolate world this is. The sky is dark, and there is no trace of light. The bright moon and twinkling stars are all gone, and there are only rocks around him.
Because it was deep underground and there was no light, the surroundings were extremely cold. Every time he took a breath, he would be frozen into frost and mist. Zhan Chen didn't take a few steps before he found that his clothes had been frozen stiff.
In such a harsh living environment, a warrior with a lower level of cultivation may not be able to walk very far without feeling sluggish in blood and numbness in his hands and feet. Only powerful creatures have a chance to survive. Fortunately, Zhan Chen has now
With the cultivation of Emperor Wu, he was not affected too much by the low temperature around him.
He walked hundreds of meters without finding any trace of Zhou Ziru. He was a little worried, so he shouted loudly: Ziru's voice echoed in the empty valley, but he didn't get any response.
Just when Zhan Chen wanted to continue moving forward, he heard a series of roars coming from the darkness ahead. The sound was cold and shrill, making people's scalp numb, and he thought: There is something going on ahead.
So he didn't dare to hesitate, quickly quickened his pace and ran forward, climbed up a steep slope, lay down on the pile of rocks, looked down, and his pupils suddenly shrank, and it turned out that he saw Zhou Ziru lying down below.
In the middle of the sand, covered in blood, he had passed out.
However, these are not the most terrible things. The most terrible thing is that he is surrounded by more than a dozen ferocious wolf-shaped monsters. They salivate and stare greedily at Zhou Ziru in the center.
Perhaps the instinct of the monsters made them afraid of the powerful threat emanating from Zhou Ziru. They did not attack immediately, otherwise Zhou Ziru would have been torn to pieces.
The desire to eat finally defeated the fear, and the leading wolf king finally couldn't bear it anymore and rushed over first, opening its bloody mouth and biting Zhou Ziru's throat with its sharp teeth.
Seeing this, Zhan Chen rushed out and slashed at the guy's back with his sword. His long sword successfully cut open his body. The Wolf King was immediately severely injured and retreated, looking at him fiercely.
Zhan Chen did not pursue him, he was unafraid and stood with his sword in hand, staring at it with disdain for these beasts in his eyes, as if he did not take them into consideration at all.
The two sides faced off for a long time, and finally the wolf king retreated, whimpering unwillingly, and retreated in dejection with the pack of wolves.
Seeing them walking away, Zhan Chen breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled bitterly. In fact, he was all pretending to be calm just now. Only he knew the condition of his body.
One blow is enough to fight
After trying his best, if the wolves were not frightened and still launched an attack, then he and Zhou Ziru would have to end up here today. But in order to save his brother, he had to step forward, and the result was fortunate.
He made the right bet.
While his heart was palpitating, another question arose in his mind: What's going on? These wolf-shaped monsters are a type I have never seen before. They are very similar to a monster I have seen in the past, the Flame Wolf.
, but those guys are only around the third level, and are fire-attribute monsters; but the wolf-shaped monster seen here that looks like a flaming wolf has obviously reached the fourth-level advanced level, the level of the wolf king.
They have even reached the fifth-level intermediate level, and their attributes are obviously ice attributes.
However, he did not delve into this further. Saving people was more important now. He put his hand on Zhou Ziru's body and used his spiritual consciousness to explore up and down. He couldn't help but be shocked. Zhou Ziru's injuries were more serious than his own.
Much more, it can be described as having only half a life left.
Zhan Chen did not dare to hesitate, and quickly took out a few healing pills and fed them to him, then carried him on his back, thinking: This is not a place where we can stay for a long time. Now that Zhou Ziru and I are both seriously injured, the top priority is
Find a safe place to heal and then think about the long term.
Thinking of this, he ran towards the nearest stone wall and found a small hole on the cliff suitable for cultivation. He got in and placed Zhou Ziru on the ground. Then he felt relieved and sat aside to meditate.
Adjust your breath and refine the elixir you just took to recover from your injuries.
It was not until the evening of the next day that Zhan Chen opened his eyes slightly and decided in his heart that after nearly a day and night of training, his injuries had healed to some extent. He had the ability to protect himself, and he did not encounter any encounters in the process.
What a bother.
He stood up, looked at Zhou Ziru whose eyes were still closed, hesitated for a moment, and decided to guard here until his brother woke up.
It wasn't until the third day that Zhou Ziru had any reaction. After a long time, he finally opened his eyes and saw Zhan Chen standing beside him, so he asked: Brother Zhan, is this going to hell?
Why is it so dark around?
After hearing what he said, Zhan Chen couldn't help but smile and replied: Ziru, you fool, this is not hell, it's just in a cave, and we are not dead.
Is this the bottom of the abyss?
good
Okay, I want to get up right away to see what the bottom of this abyss is like. Zhou Ziru subconsciously wanted to get up, but felt a sharp pain coming over him, and almost fainted again, so he had to lie down on the ground obediently.
When Zhan Chen saw this, he said, "Ziru, you are seriously injured. It is not appropriate to act rashly now. You should stay here and rest for a few days to recover from your injuries."
Zhou Ziru smiled bitterly and said: This is the only way.
They stayed in the cave for another three days, and Zhou Ziru's injuries were almost recovered. Once he could get up and walk, he couldn't sit still and said to Zhan Chen: Zhan Chen, we have been trapped here for nearly a week.
, it’s time to go out for a walk and find a way out of here.
Zhan Chen was moved when he heard what he said, but he hesitated and asked: Ziru, how are you recovering from your injury?
Zhou Ziru smiled and said: It's no big deal, maybe just take a walk.
Only then did Zhan Chen decide: Okay, let's go. He thought that if Zhou Ziru really encountered any danger, wouldn't he?
So the two of them came out of the cave and looked up to see the overcast sky outside. It was midday, when the sun was at its strongest.
However, no matter how strong the sunlight is, it cannot penetrate the thick layer of fog in the abyss. Here, there is really not much difference between day and night.
I really don’t understand where this mist is generated from and how it persists for so long. Zhou Ziru looked up and couldn’t help but sigh.
Yes, there are so many secrets in this Abyssal Pond. We can only explore slowly. For the current plan, we can only take one step at a time and see one step at a time. Zhan Chen also sighed.
The two of them didn't know where to find the exit, so they had to choose a random direction to walk. Along the way, Zhan Chen heard Zhou Ziru complaining: Zhan Chen, have you noticed that although the spiritual energy in this abyss is very rich, but I
Why does it feel so turbid and uncomfortable to breathe in?
Uncomfortable, Zhan Chen said in astonishment, he didn't feel this way. On the contrary, he had been practicing in the past few days and felt that he was progressing very quickly and his whole body felt comfortable. Suddenly, he came to his senses and replied: Brother Zhou, I understand, yes.
Because the earth's spiritual energy here is unusually rich.
It is common sense that the earth's spiritual energy is rich when close to the ground, but after Zhou Ziru's reminder, Zhan Chen discovered that the concentration of the earth's spiritual energy at the bottom of the abyss pool was surprisingly high, which was helpful for improving his own skill, Chaos Golden Yuan Jue, but for
The cultivation of other righteous monks is definitely a huge resistance.
He couldn't help but raise his head and looked up at the gray-black mist in the sky again. He seemed to taste a hint of déjà vu in it, so he had a guess in his mind: Could it be that the mist above his head was related to the aura here?
At this time, a roar came from the front, interrupting his thoughts. It was the monster beast Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru perked up. They both took out their swords and rushed forward. When they arrived at their destination, they saw a bear.
The monster is rushing towards a leopard monster and wrestling with it.
The bear has reached the sixth-level intermediate level, is six meters long, is covered in gray fur, and has scarlet and violent eyes; while the leopard on the other side has the fifth-level advanced level, is four meters long, and has fierce eyes.
, although the level of it is very different from that of the bear monster, it did not retreat and run away. Instead, it pounced on the bear and fought for its life, even if what awaited it was the fate of being torn into pieces and becoming food in the other's mouth.
Who are these two monsters? Zhou Ziru looked at them with a flash of doubt in his eyes. He had never seen these two monsters in previous monster illustrations.
Zhan Chen slowly replied: I don’t know either. The types of monsters here seem to be completely different from those in the outside world, and their strength is obviously more than one level higher than the outside world. But I feel that they are abnormal, violent and murderous, and you feel
Have you arrived yet? They all seem to have a dark energy hidden within them.
Zhou Ziru nodded and said: Yes, the energy in their bodies makes me quite uncomfortable. I don't understand what happened to these monsters.
While the two were talking, the bear demon had swallowed the whole leopard into its belly. Not satisfied, it turned its head and stared at Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru with its bloodshot eyes.
He stuck out his blood-red tongue and licked his lips, obviously treating the two of them as his next meal.
Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru looked at each other and smiled, and both drew their swords to face the bear demon. After a while, only a corpse of the bear was left.
Zhou Ziru took out the demon elixir from his belly, then frowned and said: Sure enough, although this bear is an ice monster, its demon elixir contains a drum of turbid and dark energy. I
Not useful.
Zhan Chen said from the side: Give it to me.
Okay. Zhou Ziru threw the demon pill to Zhan Chen without any regrets.
Zhan Chen took the demon elixir from his hand and was filled with joy. Because as early as when he was learning alchemy from Chu Danqing, Chu Danqing taught him how to use demon elixirs from various demonic beasts to refine elixirs.
In the past, he was not very interested in this technology because he had enough elixirs. Now, he and Zhou Ziru are at the bottom of the Abyss Pond, wondering how long it will take to return to the outside world, and it is obvious that such an environment as the Abyss Pond will not be born.
Many of the elixirs he needed came, and at this time, demon pills also became a precious resource.
They continued to move forward. The Abyss Pool was very large, and there were many dangerous monsters in it. They passed through the dangers and explored the area for several days. Unfortunately, they didn't gain much by going around.
The method found no clue at all.
The moods of Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru were slowly getting worse, and their hearts were filled with hesitation and helplessness. The brothers talked less and less.
Just when they were at their wits' end, they discovered a thin stream in a valley. Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru both stared at the stream closely and refused to look away because they both discovered the nature of the stream.
Strange place.
First of all, its water flow was not frozen by the deep cold at the bottom of the abyss, but continued to flow; secondly, its water quality was not as clear and translucent as the mountain spring water they had seen before, but showed a kind of dark darkness.
Dark and turbid color; finally, and most importantly, it continued to emit bursts of dark mist, which were constantly drifting towards the thick gray-black fog above their heads, and closely connected with them.
combined together.
Could this be the secret of the black mist of Yuanchi? Zhan Chen finally shouted.
Quack, quack, you are right, the thick fog above is formed by the transpiration of this Yuan River. Suddenly, a hoarse and deep laughter echoed inexplicably in the valley, which made people tremble when they heard it.
.
It was Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru who took out their weapons almost at the same time and were on guard.
