Xiao Jiang dug the cave with his bare hands, which is the skill of a cultivator. Although he relied on martial arts, which were also fantasy-level martial arts, as he continued to use his palm power, a winding downward cave slowly appeared.
At first, the depth of more than ten meters was filled with soil. As the gravel layer more than two meters thick was dug out, a black rock formation appeared in Xiao Jiang's sight.
Xiao Jiang touched this kind of rock. This was not a coal seam. Although the coal was dark, it was not very hard. However, Xiao Jiang could only make a half-foot hole with one palm of his hand. It was obviously an extremely hard stone.
Xiao Jiang didn't know much about the things in this world, and he didn't know much about the origin of the black stone. Otherwise, he would have wondered how there could be something like the black stone refined by an expert in this place.
Black Alchemy Stone is not a treasure. It is tempered from the most common obsidian. It is mainly used in certain buildings and places to defend against attacks;
Although it is not a rare thing, not all cultivators can refine this kind of stone. It must be at least an immortal-level weapon refiner, and the largest one they can refine is only a few meters in diameter.
But the entire underground here is covered with black refined stone. With Xiao Jiang's ability, he bombarded continuously for most of an hour, but he could only make a pit three meters wide and three meters deep. And he had consumed too much energy and had to go back to the stone house to practice and regain his energy.
.
During the journey of cultivation, cultivators mainly focus on spells, so their own real energy consumption is far less than that of martial arts. Although Xiao Jiang found that he could use spells, the spells in his memory were not mined, and he did not have time to practice.
, he uses the Qianyuan Thunder Palm to consume a lot of innate energy. Being able to persist for so long is considered to be a much stronger innate energy than martial arts cultivators of the same level.
…
In the following days, Xiao Jiang simply practiced during the day and dug holes at night. In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed, and he had dug a hole nearly 500 feet deep. He had been bombarding him for more than half an hour that day. He was bombarding Hei Lian with all his strength.
When he stood on the stone ground, he heard a strange clicking sound. He quickly looked at it and saw that the black stone layer on the ground had been penetrated by him.
Fearing that it was poisonous, Xiao Jiang tested it with a wooden stick. It was sticky but had no peculiar smell. The wooden stick did not change at all, and even the ants on it had no effect if they crawled over the liquid.
It was not poisonous, so Xiao Jiang poked it gently with his finger and quickly retracted it. He carefully observed it for a while and then inserted his finger into it again. But at this moment, the whole hole suddenly started shaking crazily, and Xiao Jiang's entire palm was completely submerged in the liquid.
The seemingly harmless dark red liquid suddenly surged out with a sudden vibration, almost forming a hole hundreds of feet deep in the blink of an eye. Xiao Jiang closed his seven orifices with a look of shock, but at this moment the dark red liquid burst out.
As if being sucked in by some force underground, he roared into the hole opened by Xiao Jiang again. When the liquid disappeared, Xiao Jiang also disappeared into the cave. Where the red liquid was originally, a hole about one meter deep appeared.
Bottomless holes.
"Dong dong dong... dong dong dong..."
A strange thumping sound reached Xiao Jiang's ears. He squinted and looked at the dark red liquid spreading under his feet. This was a huge crypt that exuded dark red fluorescence. There were hundreds of three-foot-high crypts surrounding the crypt.
There are round holes of uniform size, and the dark red liquid flows away from these holes.
A burst of weird laughter came from the front. Xiao Jiang's pupils shrank and he looked intently. There was a black stone pillar in the middle of the cave floor. The laughter came from behind the stone pillar. Xiao Jiang clenched his fist and slowly
Slowly approaching the stone pillar, I turned around and saw that he almost jumped out of fright.
Half a man, or half a man, because half of this man's upright body has turned into bones, and the other half is as dry as old tree bark.
Xiao Jiang appeared, with a sinister smile on the terrifying face of this half of the people staring at Xiao Jiang with one eye, and the light in his eyes was as if it wanted to swallow Xiao Jiang.
Xiao Jiang looked at the group of people up and down, and then he realized that this person's hands, feet, and shoulders were nailed to the stone pillars with blue metal nails.
When he saw that the other party was sealed here, Xiao Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. He held his hand and looked at it for a while, shaking his head and saying:
"Senior, why were you sealed so deep underground? Did you commit some heinous crime?"
Half of the people laughed again, looking at Xiao Jiang with one eye like a ferocious beast and said:
"If you want to know, come here and let me tell you. I can also give you great benefits, at least the benefits of allowing you to cultivate to the level of the God Emperor."
Secret places, weirdos, benefits, normal people will definitely be vigilant when encountering this kind of thing, unless they are ambitious practitioners.
Xiao Jiang just wanted to find out why there was no spiritual energy in this place. When he encountered this kind of thing, he didn't immediately think of the benefits but was afraid of getting into trouble.
If his nominal teacher was not disabled and hiding in the snowy mountains, he might still have some courage to do things, but he is considered a loner in the Yunwu Sect, and his cultivation is probably at the bottom of each sect. When something happens, he will consider it immediately.
Is there any danger?
Just like the half of his face now, he has a bad heart at first glance. It's not that Xiao Jiang doesn't look down on the God Emperor or any treasure, but he knows that with his ability, he can only act with his tail between his legs instead of aiming too high.
"You can say it if you want. I don't care if you don't. I originally thought that this underground place was related to the lack of spiritual energy in Yunwu Mountain Pass, so I came to check it out. Now that I have discovered the secret here, I must go back and report it to the sect master. What benefits do you have to tell them?
Come on, I won’t accompany you anymore.”
Xiao Jiang said and turned around to leave without any hesitation. He was not interested in knowing any conspiracies or big secrets in this world. His goal was just to find a way back.
This half of his face doesn't look like a good person. Although Xiao Jiang's character is pretty good, he has no interest in getting involved with such a person.
"Wait a minute, kid, even if you win, I can tell you everything, but you have to promise me one thing."
Half Face's cry made Xiao Jiang stop. Xiao Jiang stared at Half Face and said:
"What's up?"
Half-face said:
"Now that you know everything, you must kill me. I don't want to be trapped here for hundreds of millions of years before I turn into ashes and disappear. I can no longer bear this maddening torture. If it continues like this, I will only suffer more."
Xiao Jiang frowned. The other party's request was to let him kill him. He didn't mind this request. As long as he stayed in this world, he had to act according to the rules of this world. Helping the other party get out of despair was considered a kind act.
