Volume Four, Chapter 200: The Underground Black Cone
Chu Ling regretted it as soon as he fell. Because he found that there was a very wide space below. Except for the rock walls that were within reach on both sides at the beginning, there was endless darkness further down. Even the surrounding rock walls could be seen.
Missing. Obviously, the worst happened, and it was worse than he imagined.
Looking at the panicked Youjiu on the side, Chu Ling grabbed her hand the moment the rock wall passed over her head, and quickly grabbed a protruding rock on the rock wall with her other hand.
"Ah!" Her body suddenly stopped, and Youjiu screamed again in fright. Then she found that her hand was held by a pair of wet hands. She looked up and saw a bright red arm.
He held her tightly, and blood slowly dripped down his arm and onto her face, warm and cold at the same time.
"Hey, I knew I didn't have that kind of luck, so I had to gamble, I had to gamble!" Chu Ling complained feebly as she felt the power draining rapidly from her body.
"You, you are crazy! You know there is a seam below and you still pull me down. It's just a competition. Is it worth fighting for it?" Youjiu reacted and cursed with some annoyance.
When Chu Ling heard Youjiu's words, he said in a nonchalant manner: "You have to hold my hand tightly, I don't have that much strength."
Youjiu heard the words and tightened her hand. She could feel that Chu Ling's strength holding her was getting weaker and weaker. Seeing that Chu Ling was now covered in blood, the blood fell on her face drop by drop, and the light rain gradually changed.
It was raining heavily, making my cheeks hurt.
"How are you?"
When Chu Ling heard this, she suddenly wanted to laugh: "Do you think I am good?"
Seeing Chu Ling's blood dripping non-stop, Youjiu was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "How about you let me go, at least one of us can survive."
"Hey, I'm sorry. I have no grievances against you, but I have caused trouble for you." Chu Ling raised her head and looked at her fingers that were about to slip off. "It's impossible to live anymore. Let's wait for the next life."
As soon as he finished speaking, he loosened his grip, finally exhausted his strength and fainted.
Youjiu felt that the bodies of the two people began to fall again, and her heart felt cold. But she still did not give up, and she would never give up until the end!
She reached out and clamped Chu Ling around her waist, then waved her other hand to the side, and a small iron claw in her sleeve shot out with a thin rope. However, the width of this underground space was far greater than expected.
The flying claws can't reach the rock walls on both sides at all.
Seeing that the flying claw was about to fall, Youjiu broke out in cold sweat. She retracted the flying claw with a shake of her arm. Then she raised her hand and shot several black beads around. After the black beads were shot, they all exploded. With the help of the explosion,
In the instant of fire, the eagle discovered the rock walls on both sides.
All are beyond the range of the Flying Claw.
"What should I do? What should I do?" She was so anxious that she kept mumbling to herself. The more times like this she had to force herself to calm down.
Suddenly, Youjiu's eyes lit up and she looked to the left. In the firelight, she noticed that the rock wall on the left was relatively close, so she took out the three remaining Fire Bolts and slammed them in her hand.
After pinching and estimating that the time was almost up, he gently threw it to the right and at the same time hurriedly used his true energy to protect his whole body.
"boom!"
The beads exploded as soon as they were thrown out. Even at such a close distance, even with the protection of the ghost eagles, they were still seriously injured by the explosion. But in contrast, the airflow of the explosion took them to the left, and the ghost eagles were still seriously injured by the explosion.
This was the moment she had been waiting for. With the flickering light of the fire, she shot out her flying claws with incomparable accuracy and grabbed the rock wall tightly.
The two of them swung along the rope and hit the rock wall hard. The ghost vulture was shocked by this and could no longer suppress the injuries in his body and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Looking up, the crack in the ground was as small as the stars in the sky. Youjiu's luck relieved her injury, and then she looked at the rock wall. Hanging like this is not a long-term solution. She must find a foothold as soon as possible.
Just fine.
Thinking of this, she rolled her tongue, and a tiny iron needle appeared on the tip of her tongue. The ghost vulture locked on a small protrusion above its head, spit out a flying needle and shot it in diagonally, and then a spark burst out from the tail of the needle, flashing one after another.
It flashed, and a small flame ignited in a short while. Then she shot out the other two flying needles from her mouth.
With this faint light source, she finally discovered a cave above. The vulture held the rope tightly in its hand, stepped on the rock wall with its feet, and climbed towards the cave step by step.
I don’t know how long it took, but Chu Ling finally woke up. He looked at the darkness around him and murmured: "Are you in hell?"
"Are you awake?" Youjiu, who was adjusting his breath and healing his wounds, opened his eyes and said.
Chu Ling suddenly woke up when he heard the sound. He sat up and tilted his head and asked, "Are we not dead?"
"You want to die so much and jump down by yourself." Youjiu gestured towards the outside of the cave and said coldly.
Chu Ling crawled to the edge of the cave and looked at the dark abyss below, and then he was sure that he was indeed still alive. He sat back and thanked Youjiu: "Thank you for saving my life."
"Exactly!" Youjiu curled her lips in disdain and said, "Whose fault do you think this is? But your recovery ability surprised me. You can move after you sleep."
Only then did Chu Ling realize that her body was covered with bandages. She couldn't help but look at Youjiu in surprise and asked, "Where did you get the bandages?"
Things to know
It was said that this competition was not allowed to bring anything except weapons, but I didn't expect that Youying would be able to bring these things in.
"I, the Tang Sect, come from a background of playing with hidden weapons and poisons. Everything is a weapon to me, including medicines and bandages." Youjiu smiled softly. She was obviously taking advantage of a loophole in the competition.
After Chu Ling recovered, although she was still a little exhausted, she didn't bother to rest. She hurriedly strengthened her recovery power and continued to heal her injuries. If her previous recovery hadn't barely stopped the internal bleeding, she would have been a cold corpse by now.
. Feeling the nutritional deficiency in his body, Chu Ling said, "Give me some fruits to eat."
Youjiu also knew that he was injured and needed to recover, so he threw three or four Green Spirit Fruits to him. Now that both of them were trapped underground, they would have to work together to leave later, and it was not the time to worry about this.
Chu Ling picked up the fruit and gnawed it. After he relaxed, he looked at Youjiu opposite, who was crossing his legs and adjusting his breath, and asked: "What age are you in, you are a girl, why do you have to dress up as a man?"
"It's none of your business!" Youjiu scolded without mercy.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of talking, Chu Ling stopped trying to get closer. After eating the fruit, he stood up, looked into the depths of the cave, and said to the vulture beside him: "Have you seen the inside of the cave?"
"No, just moving you here is tiring enough. I don't have the energy." Youjiu sat cross-legged on the ground and said calmly with his eyes closed.
This is the difference between superpowers and martial arts practitioners. Martial arts cultivators need to cross their legs and adjust their breathing to heal their injuries, but Chu Ling only needs to use his superpowers, and his body will recover on its own, and his movements will not be affected during this period.
Hearing this, Chu Ling nodded and said, "Then let me see what's going on inside first."
As he spoke, he walked deeper into the area. The surrounding area was dark. Chu Ling had to use part of his mental energy to strengthen his night vision. He didn't know how long he walked until he found that the road ahead split into three forks. In the spirit of path exploration,
He didn't think much about the idea and walked towards the first branch.
However, before walking into the fork in the road, something tripped under his feet. Chu Ling lowered his head and saw that a thick black vertebral body was nailed deeply into the ground.
He crouched down and looked at the black cone, feeling an indescribable fear in his heart. The black cone was smooth and flat, and it looked like it was not naturally formed. The entire vertebra was filled with a terrifying evil spirit, and it was just nailed in.
It's as if the whole world is frozen there, which makes people's hearts palpitate!
Sweeping away some rubble around the black cone, Chu Ling found that it was surrounded by circles of strange words, which looked like... some kind of seal.
