After some exploration, Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru came to the bank of the Yuan River again. Looking at the black and turbid water rolling forward, Zhou Ziru exclaimed: Zhan Chen, I really didn’t expect that in the depths of this Ten Thousand Poison Cave,
, there is such a big river lurking.
Zhan Chen smiled and replied: What big river? I think this is Yuan River.
Oh, I see. I remember that guy Jiang Heng said before that the Yuan River spreads throughout the entire Yuan Pond. Now it seems that what he said is true.
By the way, what happened to Jiang Heng and Han Lin? Weren't you with them before?
Zhou Ziru smiled coldly and said, "Jiang Heng's old fox brought it upon himself. He voluntarily followed Nie Wei, thinking that it was the safest way. In the end, Nie Wei captured him to explore the way. The old fox hesitated and was struck by Nie Wei."
Give it to slaughter
. After a pause, he continued: As for Han Lin, since the escape route was cut off, he has been staying in the cave of the karst beast and giving up on himself. As a result, the entire cave collapsed. I don't know what happened next.
Zhan Chen sighed after hearing this and said: It seems that we should take our own destiny into our own hands and not rely on anyone else.
Yes, the people in this abyss are all cunning and snobbish people. Whether they are demon cultivators or casual cultivators, they are all the same. There is no difference. Zhou Ziru showed a look that has seen through life.
Zhan Chen looked at it for a moment, then smiled and said: Ziru, you have grown up. Sometimes some so-called righteous warriors are worse than those demon cultivators. In this world, the most difficult thing to predict is the human heart. Maybe one day,
Your ideals, many of the opinions you hold, and even your entire beliefs will change.
How could I? I will never change, always defend the right path, and slay all evil cultivators. A trace of determination flashed in Zhou Ziru's eyes, and he said categorically.
Zhan Chen looked at him silently and shook his head. In fact, Zhou Ziru had changed a lot since he arrived at Yuanchi, but he didn't realize it himself.
Continuously marching along the underground river, the two of them joined forces to kill many monsters along the way. Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru were fighting geniuses themselves, and now they had broken through the high level of Emperor Wu and joined forces to defeat monsters below the eighth level.
Even the beasts can't do anything to them.
Another week passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Zhan Chen stood on a high place and looked far into the distance, and found that there seemed to be a faint light in the distance. Although it was not clear, he still recognized that it was the light of hope from the outside world. Here
In the dark underground world, even a ray of light is as eye-catching as the scorching sun and bright moon.
So he turned around and said happily to Zhou Ziru who was standing below: Ziru, we may be able to survive soon.
Zhou Ziru was also excited and asked: How come you saw the exit?
Um
Okay, let's go quickly
Then, the two of them accelerated their pace, and after a while, they came to the end of the road. This was a huge cave entrance. Outside the cave entrance was a huge canyon. The surrounding cliffs were hundreds of meters high, and the Yuan River rushed into the river.
Flowing between this canyon.
They were both very excited to see the sun again. Zhan Chen looked at the cliffs on both sides and suggested: Ziru, let's go up directly from the cliffs on both sides.
good
So, the two of them stepped on some protruding stone tree roots on the cliff and jumped up to the high cliff. This was only an easy task for the powerful Emperor Wu.
On top of the cliff, there was another scene. What seemed to be an endless black forest lay in front of the two of them. The black forest was a terrifying and desperate place. It was not like the stone walls in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.
, here monsters always appear in groups, and the vision of powerful monsters will also become very wide, and they can easily detect prey that intrude into their territory.
Although the two of them are strong enough now, it seems that it is not enough for just two people to make their way in the dark forest.
Zhan Chen silently looked at the dark woods for a while, then turned to Zhou Ziru and said: Ziru, let's go. As long as we are careful and avoid the powerful monsters, we should still be able to pass through the forest successfully.
Zhou Ziru frowned and said: Brother Zhan, where should we go? If we wander around here, we will never get out of this dark forest.
But there is no way for us to just stay where we are. We can only go to the woods first to see if we can meet someone who knows the way and can take us out.
Alas, this is the only way to go now.
So, Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru chose a direction and began to go deep into the forest. The black forest was quiet, but they knew that there were dangers lurking everywhere, so they walked very slowly. At this time, they learned from Jiang Heng
The knowledge began to come in handy one by one. They hunted some monsters during the day and spent the night camping. After walking around like this for more than ten days, they finally discovered human traces.
On this day, the two of them were carefully passing through a swamp. Zhan Chen paid great attention to the situation around him. Suddenly, he found human footprints right next to him. He was stunned for a moment and immediately called: Zhou Ziru, hurry up.
Come and see
Zhou Ziru rushed over and saw the footprints. The two looked at each other and smiled, both of them were very happy. When they found the footprints, they found hope.
Ziru, these footprints are very new. It seems they haven't gone far yet. Let's follow these footprints quickly.
Um
The two men no longer hesitated, and followed the line of footprints for dozens of miles. However, the good times did not last long, because the swamp reached the end and the traces of the footprints disappeared, and they lost their direction again.
Zhou Ziru looked at the dense trees everywhere and said in frustration: Luck has been chasing us for a long time, but the clues are broken. It seems that our work is in vain today. No, look, it's already dark.
Zhan Chen glanced at the sky that had become darker, a hint of wisdom flashed in his eyes, but he smiled and said: No, Ziru, we have already caught them.
Zhou Ziru's eyes were full of doubts and he asked: Zhan Chen, what did you say? We have obviously lost track of them.
Zhan Chen looked around, then pretended to be mysterious and said: I can prove this to you right away.
Oh, Zhou Ziru crossed his shoulders and looked at Zhan Chen doubtfully, wanting to see what he would do next.
Zhan Chen came to the foot of the tallest tree, jumped up, and climbed to the top.
After a while, Zhan Chen's proud laughter came from the top of the tree: Hahaha, Ziru, come up and take a look.
Zhou Ziru couldn't stay still after hearing his call. He quickly climbed up the tree and looked in the direction where Zhan Chen's finger was pointing. He found that in the distance there was a faint fire in the dark woods as dark as charcoal.
It was beating and looked particularly dazzling.
that is
Yes, that was fire, the bonfire built by those people.
Zhan Chen, you are so smart, why didn’t I think of that?
Zhan Chen just laughed it off and said: Let's go
The two got off the tree and quickly walked towards the light source. Traveling in the dark forest at night is ten times more dangerous than during the day.
At this time, many monsters that like to lurk were active. In a short period of time, Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru encountered five or six monster attacks, but luckily they were always the most common sixth-order monsters.
Before anyone could get close to them, they silently killed those ungrateful idiots.
As they gradually approached the bonfire, Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru slowed down. The reason was simple. They were not sure what kind of people were on the other side of the bonfire. What if they were people like Nie Ting? Then they rushed in rashly.
It's like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth
So the two of them took advantage of the dark night and the cover of dense vegetation to sneak close to the bonfire, tightened their breath, lurked down, parted the grass, and looked there through the gaps in the grass.
.
I saw a group of ten people eating meat and drinking wine around the fire. They were six men and four women, all of whom were above Emperor Wu in cultivation. One of them, a woman in a cyan costume, had the highest cultivation level and had reached the state of Emperor Wu's Great Perfection. The rest of them were
Among them, there are two men and one woman whose cultivation level is at the high level of Emperor Wu.
The rest of the people were all below the high level of Martial Emperor, and there was even a woman who was only at the basic level of Martial Emperor, so she could not pose a threat to Zhan Chen and the other two.
At this time, someone in the group of people surrounding the campfire spoke, and the person who spoke was the female warrior who only had the preliminary level of Martial Emperor.
I heard her ask: Sister Nan, when will we return to the city that never sleeps? The outside world is really different from what I thought. Her voice was crisp and delicate, which made people feel like chewing a crispy cucumber.
At this time, the woman who had reached the Great Perfection of Emperor Wu smiled and replied: Miss Ning, it’s almost time, I think it will take about half a month.
Oh, it’s still half a month away, I can’t wait any longer
Hey, miss, you asked me to take you out secretly. Now when I go back, I'm still thinking about how your father will punish you.
At this time, several men laughed and said: Hahaha, Miss Ning, you have to plead more for our sister Nan in front of your father. We have encountered countless dangers along the way. Thanks to Sister Nan's martial arts
Gao Qiang, only by going this way can you turn danger into safety, and avoid any danger.
That is, my sister Nan is the most powerful. Miss Ning smiled and made the hearts of several men around her flutter.
After a pause, Miss Ning asked again: Sister Nan, can you take out the purple jade bead that my father gave me and show it to me?
You have read it several times to see what it is for. You still leave such a valuable thing to me for safekeeping. Sister Nan refused immediately.
Just take a look, Miss Ning, who is so beautiful, took Sister Nan’s arm and said coquettishly.
Okay, okay. Sister Nan couldn't help but took out a small box from the Qiankun bag, opened it gently, and a round bead popped out.
It is crystal clear and exudes a bright purple luster, even lighting up the surrounding darkness. You can tell it is a great treasure at a glance, and everyone around you is paying attention.
Zhan Chen, who was lying in the grass, was excited when he saw this bead. The purple jade soft bead can ward off evil spirits and calm the nerves when worn on the body. Moreover, it is a kind of heaven and earth spiritual essence used in refining elixirs in legend. It is a treasure for every alchemist.
The stuff of dreams.
Unexpectedly, his excitement revealed his own aura, and was immediately caught by Sister Nan. She yelled: Who quickly put away the orb and took out his weapons, and those people sitting around also quickly stood up.
They took out their weapons and looked warily at the bush where Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru were lurking. A conflict seemed inevitable.
