"We must come up with a solution quickly." Wu Tian muttered.
Even the monkey wine had no effect, Wutan became even more anxious, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, because it would be unreliable to leave this matter to Cang Zheng.
As expected, within a few breaths, Cang Zheng could not help but said angrily: "What kind of place is this? How can it be so outrageous!"
"unbelievable?"
When Wu Tian heard this, an idea flashed in his mind. That's right! Why didn't he think of the Heaven-Defying Domain? The Heaven-Defying Domain can isolate all qi, and it is estimated that it can also isolate the mysterious energy here.
“Buzz!”
He did it as soon as he thought of it. The heaven-defying domain descended with a bang and enveloped Wu Tian. However, he was shocked that even the heaven-defying domain could not stop the erosion of this mysterious energy!
But it is not without effect. The rate at which vitality is lost is at least half as slow as before.
Staring at the Devil Mountain in front of him, Wu Tian's eyes flickered. After a moment, he turned to look at Cang Zheng and the others and said in a deep voice: "The effect brought by the Heaven-Defying Domain is not very ideal. Just in case, you stay outside the Corpse Land first, and I will continue to go deeper to take a look."
"you… "
Cang Zheng's face changed, and he wanted to say something, but Wu Tian waved his hand and shook his head decisively, saying, "I have made up my mind. You just stay here and wait for me to come back."
"Master Li Feng, I think it's not a bad idea for us to go in together. You know, our only way out now may be Devil's Mountain. If you die in there, Master Yan Kuan and I will have to go in sooner or later." Sikong Yanran said with a faint smile.
"That's right. Without the heaven-defying domain, we will die faster. It's better for the three of us to be together now so that we can help each other in times of crisis." Cang Zheng looked serious and without waiting for Wutan's consent, he stepped directly into the land of corpses!
Sikong Yanran smiled slightly and followed closely behind, so fast that even Wutan had no time to stop him.
"You guys really don't know what you're talking about!" Wutan smiled bitterly, but the matter was done and there was no way to regret it now. He could only give them some instructions and then took the two of them and galloped towards Devil Mountain.
The mysterious energy was horrifying. Cang Zheng and Sikong Yanran had only been in the land of bones for three or four breaths, but their appearances had changed drastically. However, compared with Wutan's current image of an old man, there was a world of difference.
At this life-threatening moment, the two did not care and followed Wutan's steps closely, not daring to fall behind even a step, for fear of following in Wutan's footsteps.
The total distance was only a hundred feet. Under normal circumstances, they could reach it in one step. However, at this moment, it took the three of them more than ten breaths of time, because the deeper they went, the stronger the mysterious energy became, which could be seen from the already aged faces of Cang Zheng and the other man.
Moreover, when they were halfway there, an inexplicable resistance suddenly appeared, which greatly reduced the speed of the three people. Fortunately, it had not reached the point where the three people could not resist, otherwise the three people would have no other way to go except to enter the Star Realm.
After more than ten breaths, Wutan and the other two arrived at the foot of Devil Mountain. A dark cave entrance appeared in front of them. It was pitch dark. Moreover, the resistance and mysterious energy became more and more intense!
"There used to be a popular saying in Fengyang City, 'Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea.' But now I feel that once you enter the Devil's Mountain, you'll be separated from the world forever," Cang Zheng transmitted the message.
"I just hope that after entering Devil Mountain, this strange mysterious power will disappear, otherwise I can only enter the Star Realm." Wutan murmured. He was really reluctant to escape into the Star Realm, but if it really came to a matter of life and death, he would not care so much.
"Hold on to my hand tightly, and don't fall out of the heaven-defying realm." Wutan looked at the two of them, warned them, and stretched out his hands.
Upon hearing this, Cang Zheng and the other man were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, both looking a little embarrassed.
"hurry up!"
Wutan shouted, feeling very puzzled. Sikong Yanran was understandable, after all, she was a woman, and it was normal for her to be a little shy when holding hands with a man for such an intimate behavior. But Cang Zheng, a grown man, actually showed such an expression, which really made him speechless.
After hearing this, the two dared not hesitate any longer, because if they continued to delay, the three people's chances of survival would be very slim. By then, even if the three people had high cultivation levels, they would not be able to save them in the end.
He placed his hand in Wutan's big hand and held it tightly, then took a step forward and jumped directly into the cave.
"This feeling? Why does this feeling seem so familiar..."
At the moment when he and Sikong Yanran's hands were tightly clasped together, Wutan inexplicably arose a very strange feeling in his heart, which made him absent-minded. It was a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it before.
"Why is my heart beating so fast? The warmth of his palms and the smell of his body are so familiar..."
Sikong Yanran also felt something unusual. She held the man's hand tightly. An unprecedented warmth, a feeling as if they had known each other in a previous life and were meeting again in this life, and a feeling of incomparable peace of mind immediately surged into her heart.
However, the strange feeling in the two's hearts was quickly dispelled by the fear in their hearts!
Because after jumping into the cave, the three found that they did not land immediately, but fell madly, and the resistance disappeared as expected, but was replaced by a terrifying suction, as if there was a peerless ferocious beast breathing below, and the wind whistled in their ears, and the wind was biting and cold!
"It's so cold!" Cang Zheng's trembling voice rang out, echoing in the darkness.
"Be careful, everyone. If anything happens, hide behind me immediately." Wutan held their hands tightly and warned them.
His divine sense extended downward, wanting to see what was hidden underneath. However, before it reached the bottom, a cold current as cold as ice suddenly swept over, instantly swallowing up the divine sense, and it was too late to take it back!
"Puff!" His spiritual power was damaged, Wutan's throat felt hot, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"What's wrong with you?" Cang Zheng asked.
"It's no big deal. You must not let your divine consciousness out." Wutan briefly explained why his divine consciousness had been erased.
Sikong Yanran was surprised and asked, "Just a cold current can damage your mind. It's incredible. What is hidden underneath?"
Falling! Keep falling! I don't know when it will stop!
The endless darkness, the deathly silence except for the sound of the wind, and the unknown danger made the three people panic!
"Oh no! That mysterious power is getting stronger and stronger!" Cang Zheng exclaimed.
Hearing this, Wutan sensed it carefully and sure enough, as they fell deeper and deeper, the mysterious power that robbed the three people of their life force became stronger and stronger, until finally, the three of them felt the life force in their bodies was madly draining away like water.
If there was light now, one would be able to see that the faces of the three people were filled with shock and fear!
Time passed little by little, and gradually, the three people began to feel dizzy, and physically and mentally exhausted due to excessive loss of vitality. At this moment, a glimmer of light finally appeared in their sight.
“Boom!!!”
Immediately afterwards, three sounds of people falling into the water were heard one after another. Wutan suddenly felt a cold current that could freeze the human soul, rushing through his heart like a mad wave. Even in an instant, his limbs began to become numb and stiff!
Moreover, he felt that from the moment he fell into the water, his vitality was draining away faster than ever before!
Wutan was horrified and hurriedly urged the power of fire to flow into every cell of his body to drive away the horrible cold current. Only then did he feel warmth in his heart!
Immediately, without even bothering to look at the situation around him, the elemental power gushed out, carrying Cang Zheng and Sikong Yanran, and swimming quickly towards the surface of the water.
That's right, he just swam away. With his strength, he could have rushed out of the water directly, but the water here was too cold. Even though the power of fire could dispel the cold current, it could only temporarily relieve the stiffness of his limbs.
“Wow!”
After dozens of breaths, Wutan's head finally emerged from the water. He looked around and found that this was an underground pool, about a hundred feet deep. The water in the pool was extremely clear, and thick white smoke was steaming.
This is a phenomenon where the lake water is extremely cold!
However, there was one thing that surprised him extremely. In such a cold environment, there was no ice on the water surface
After a quick look, Wutan's gaze finally locked onto the stone stairs ten feet ahead. Then he looked at Cang Zheng and the other man beside him. Their eyes were closed, and their faces and lips were pale. It was obvious that they could not bear the coldness of the water and fell into a coma.
Come to think of it, even someone with such a strong body like Wutan had his limbs numb from the cold, let alone Cang Zheng and Sikong Yanran!
Holding one person in each hand, Wutan used the most primitive method to swam towards the stone stairs. It took him more than thirty breaths to cover a distance of only ten feet. This speed was even slower than that of a snail.
After reaching the stone stairs, Wutan climbed up with great difficulty, and it took a lot of effort to carry Cang Zheng and the other man out of the water. Then, holding their bodies, he walked up the stone stairs step by step, ready to find a warm place. Otherwise, if he continued like this, Cang Zheng and the other man would be frozen to death before they could lose all their life!
However, when Wutan walked to the last step and looked at the scene in front of him, his expression immediately changed. He then turned his head and looked around, and was stunned.
This turned out to be a closed stone chamber with a pool of water located in the center of the chamber, and there were no stone doors or anything like that on the surrounding stone walls.
Moreover, the entire stone chamber is only about two hundred feet in total, and the pool of water takes up half of it. You can imagine how narrow the ground that can be walked on is.
The icy cold current filled the entire stone chamber. Although it was much better than the water, Wutan could still feel the biting cold. Coupled with the mysterious power that existed at all times, if they didn't find an exit quickly, the three of them would definitely die here.
Holding the two of them, Wutan knocked back and forth on the four walls of the stone chamber, carefully sensing whether there was anything hidden in the mechanism. However, he was disappointed. The stone chamber was seamless, not to mention a crack!
He thought of using the Hand of God to blast out an exit, but in his current state, he was unable to revive the Holy Soldier. After trying several times unwillingly, Wutan finally had to accept the fact and gave up.
"How can I do… "
Looking at Cang Zheng and the other man who were becoming increasingly weak and old, Wutan became extremely anxious. Suddenly, he thought of Xiao Wuhao. Xiao Wuhao was knowledgeable and should know what this strange power was.
"How can it be?"
Wu Tian suddenly cried out in shock, his eyes filled with astonishment, because no matter how he called out, Xiao Wu Hao did not respond, and when he sensed the Star Realm, he discovered that he had lost contact with it as well...
