Shen Chen's movements were too fast and without any warning. By the time You Feng and his party came to their senses, Shen Chen had already resolutely jumped into the underground river.
"Damn it, let him run away!" Around the entrance of the underground river, Leng Ying rushed forward, but found nothing in the end. The entrance of the cave under the cliff to the south was pitch black except for the rapid water flow, and nothing could be seen at all.
Leng Ying also wanted to jump down, but when he thought about where the cave led, a chill ran down his spine, and he shrank back with palpitations on his face.
"Humph! Leng Ying, you made a mistake. You didn't let him run away, but you let him die too easily!" Old Ghost Youfeng slowly walked forward, snorting and sneered. He didn't seem to be worried about Shen Chen's "escape". "Let's go, there is no trace of annoyance on his face.
"But..." Leng Ying hesitated. He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to refute the old man's words. He was just a follower. He was no different from a hound beside the elders of the outer sect. He didn't stand up to speak at all. Qualifications.
"Haha, I know what you want to say, but do you think there is any difference between this underground river and hell? If you fall into it, let alone a young boy, even if the Great Luo Jinxian comes to the world, he will die!" Old Man Youfeng said calmly, with a confident look on his face. He had just released his breath to explore, and the cave was bottomless, and the spiritual thoughts coming out were like a stone sinking into the sea, and it was obviously a long river running through the underground.
In such a dangerous place, even a fish will suffocate to death because it has not seen the light of day for a long time, let alone a person?
"Then...are there other outlets for underground rivers nearby?" Leng Ying thought for a while and asked cautiously.
"Jie Jie... With my cultivation level, my spiritual sense can at least explore for several miles. There is no way out in this surrounding area. And even I can hold my breath for half an hour at most in the water. If I fall, I will die. Could it be that you Do you think that boy is stronger than me?" Old Man Youfeng sneered and glanced at him with a cold look, seeming to be a little displeased.
"I don't dare!" Upon seeing this, Leng Ying shrank his pupils and hurriedly knelt down, trembling.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and come back with me as soon as possible. There are still some remaining members of that small sect who dare to despise my Netherworld Palace. Not even a dog can be spared..."
Youfeng withdrew his gaze disdainfully, and immediately moved his figure and swept out of the canyon.
………
"Gulu gulu..."
There are molten rocks and stalactites everywhere here, you can't see your fingers out of reach, and the surroundings are eternal darkness and coldness. The only sound is the low and suppressed sound of water.
Because there is no air, the turbulent water reaches here, like a wild beast imprisoned in a narrow cage. The sound of the flow is not only subtle, but also cannot travel far. The silence all around is terrifying!
This is the underground river under the earth of Yunwu Canyon.
In fact, the Cloud Mist Canyon had dried up hundreds of years ago. According to legend, when Emperor Tianlong left this continent thousands of years ago, the emperor's power was shocked, and the essence of thousands of miles of rivers condensed in an instant. The emperor broke the shackles of the void and finally realized The feat of soaring in the daytime.
Since then, the essence of thousands of miles of rivers has been lost, the spiritual veins of the earth have been damaged, many rivers and lakes have dried up, and one-third of water, the mother of all things, has flowed into the ground...
At this moment, somewhere in the darkness of the underground river, Shen Chen was drifting with the current like a corpse, not knowing where he would drift.
Not long after falling into the underground river, Shen Chen lost consciousness. He was too seriously injured and lost an unknown amount of blood. Subsequently, the side effects of swallowing a large amount of Body Tempering Pills also followed one after another. He is still alive today. It’s already a miracle!
And even if he hasn't died completely, Shen Chen only has one breath left at the moment. He has lost all five senses and his consciousness is already on the verge of death. Even the soul of the elder Youquan who covets it and wants to use it to make a cauldron is already in the state of death. free edge.
In this endless darkness and coldness, if nothing unexpected happens, Shen Chen will die soon, and his remains will be preserved by the environment here for a long time, becoming a mummy in the darkness...
"Buzz..."
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz buzz..."
I don't know how long it took, but in Shen Chen's almost collapsed sea of consciousness, the ancient mirror finally started to move. It swayed gently, emitting ripples. It was very weak at first, but later, it was like a fairy light from the sky. The ripples became clearer and clearer, and they impacted Shen Chen's sea of consciousness one after another.
In the end, the immortal light emanating from the sea of consciousness was no longer illusory, but began to impact the unexpectedly opened meridian on Shen Chen's head. At the same time, a foot away from Shen Chen, following the ancient The mirror emits rays of fairy light, and magically isolates a layer of water curtain. It looks quite mysterious, and is crystal clear under the irradiation of the fairy light.
In the darkness, a strange arc of light began to slowly emerge on Shen Chen's head. The meridian lit up. Later, even Shen Chen's entire head was emitting a peaceful white light, even though it was smaller than the surrounding area. The boundless darkness is still very weak.
In an instant, the stagnant blood began to flow all over Shen Chen's body unconsciously, and traces of spiritual energy began to circulate in the meridians and Dantian. Several unknown round pills that he had swallowed before also began to circulate. It is melting quietly, turning into wisps of blood and warm air to nourish each of Shen Chen's big holes!
I don't know how long this process lasted. It seemed like hours, days or nights. In the endless darkness, the passage of time could not be noticed at all.
Strictly speaking, Shen Chen is already dead. There has been no breath between his mouth and nose for a long time. With such a seriously injured body falling into the underground river that is almost freezing, even a Ninggang realm or even Strong men in higher realms will have no chance of survival.
However, now Shen Chen's body has begun to show signs of a living person again. He is slowly breathing and his pulse is beating weakly. Although this process is extremely slow, Shen Chen is indeed alive again...
…
"Er..."
After an unknown amount of time, in the darkness, a heavy gasp broke the silence around him.
In the crystal clear water barrier, Shen Chen gradually became conscious, but he still couldn't open his eyes. His thoughts seemed to be blocked in chaos. He was injured too seriously. Although he was alive at this time, he still couldn't open his eyes. The body is as weak as a newborn baby.
At this moment, not to mention the demons in Netherworld Palace, even a three-year-old child can easily kill him!
In addition, not only was Shen Chen unable to open his eyes, it was also extremely difficult to breathe. The water barrier released by the ancient mirror helped him drain the water, but it was unable to suck in too much air around him.
In fact, in this endless dark underground river, there wasn't much air for him to breathe.
This process lasted for a long time!
"sieve!"
In the darkness that was enough to make people despair, Shen Chen finally opened his eyelids with difficulty. Within the scope of his eyes, except for the crystal clear water barrier in front of him, the rest was all darkness, which was enough to make anyone despair. of darkness!
However, Shen Chen was not desperate. He only had ecstasy in his heart. It was the joy of escaping from death without any impurities!
At this moment, Shen Chen still remembers how decisive he was when he jumped into the underground river. In that situation, as long as there is a second way, even if it means going up the mountain of swords to the sea of fire, Shen Chen is not willing to leave his fate to an unknown person. An underground river that flows to nowhere and has no end.
"Brother Mirror, did you save me again..." After the disaster, Shen Chen immediately sank his consciousness into the sea of consciousness. Soon, a simple mirror appeared in front of his eyes.
At this time, the ancient mirror was glowing faintly, as if it was supporting the magical barrier outside his physical body.
However, what surprised and made Shen Chen feel guilty was that the cracks on the ancient mirror that had just been repaired a few days ago resurfaced in the ancient mirror that was floating in front of him. Not only that, but the cracks were even wider than before. If it is wider, from a distance, it looks like the entire mirror will break at any time.
"Brother Mirror, I already owe you two lives. Don't worry. If I, Shen Chen, still have a chance to see the light of day again, I will definitely collect enough spiritual energy to repair you..." Shen Chen murmured to himself, as if Promise, but also like sighing.
After waking up for a while, Shen Chen had gradually adapted to the surrounding environment, and his whole body could move slightly.
At first, Shen Chen was worried that the "bubble"-like water barrier would be burst by himself. When the endless underground river water poured in, he would be suffocated, if not drowned.
However, Shen Chen soon discovered that the barrier released by the mysterious ancient mirror was like an extremely fitting coat that would change shape with his movements. Even if he stretched his body, the barrier would also change into A big word, very humane!
This surprised Shen Chen. After his physical strength gradually recovered, he simply used the buoyancy in the water to sit cross-legged in the dark, trying to use his skills to speed up the recovery of injuries and blood in his meridians.
However, just as this idea was put into action, Shen Chen suddenly suffered another big blow. In the surrounding area, outside of the ice water and darkness... there seemed to be no spiritual energy floating around at all. It was simply a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely lacking. Desert in the water.
"Damn! God, you're playing tricks on me again!" Shen Chen couldn't help but yell in the darkness. He finally came to life. He was trapped in an underground river and couldn't see the light of day. He didn't even have the aura of heaven and earth. Is this possible? Do you really want him to die slowly and despairingly in the dark?
Shen Chen is unwilling!
"Whoosh!"
Just when Shen Chen was in a panic, suddenly, a black shadow as big as a palm flashed in front of his eyes.
The black shadow was so fast that it disappeared from Shen Chen's sight in just a flash, and then disappeared into the endless darkness.
Shen Chen was convinced that it was definitely not an illusion. Although the light emitted by the water curtain barrier was extremely weak, it was like a bright light in the endless darkness. Any movement around would cast a shadow in the light.
"Whoosh!"
Immediately, another palm-sized black shadow passed by. This time, Shen Chen felt it very clearly. The black shadow seemed to be flying past his ear. Shen Chen was even sure that it was a living creature. Things!
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
…
In the next few moments, palm-sized black shadows passed around Shen Chen one after another. After several efforts, Shen Chen finally captured the outline of a black shadow with his keen vision.
The black shadow almost passed near his eyelashes. Although it was surprisingly fast, Shen Chen could vaguely see that it seemed to be... a fish!
But...how could there be any live fish in such a dark underground river?
Shen Chen was a little unsure of his eyes, because this was contrary to common sense. In such endless underground water layers, even fish would starve to death and suffocate to death!
"Could it be...the legendary black stone fish that eats black crystals from the earth's veins!!"
The next moment, Shen Chen suddenly recalled an ancient book he had read when he was the eldest young master in the family, and then his pupils suddenly dilated!
