Trials of the Abyss

Chapter 24: Let down

Views:

Because of Hong Tai's words, malicious glances fell on Miss Ning in the giant net.

Ning Yao, who became the focus of everyone, sat in the silver net like a walking corpse without a soul.

Her once bright eyes seemed to have no luster at all, leaving only dimness and a dead look of indifference.

She thought about being humiliated by An Gui, and also thought that An Gui would use her to exchange for important An Gui figures who were imprisoned in the Ning family.

But she didn't expect that Hong Tai would use her as bait for fishing and use her to test the "Dark Anaconda" from the fifth realm.

Although she had been imprisoned, she saw those people using the corpses of Zhang Heng and others to test the horrific corrosiveness of the black water.

She was afraid that the acid in the water was not limited to the surface, and that there was also such acid in the deep bottom of the water, and then she would turn into a pile of bones.

She also knew that deep in the bottom of the pool, there might be the "Dark Anaconda" that even Hong Tai was afraid of.

She was terrified inside, but there was not much expression on her face. She understood the fear she had revealed and that all her pleas would not be responded to.

All she could get was the unbridled ridicule of the Dark Ghosts.

"Give me the iron chain."

Hong Tai first took the rope connected to the giant silver wire net from the leader, and then asked for more iron chains from others to connect them.

He wanted the string holding the silver net to be long enough so that the silver net that trapped Ning Yao could sink to the bottom of the pool.

"As long as the Dark Anaconda is alive, it will not be able to resist the girl's flesh and blood. It will definitely devour it and chew and taste it carefully."

Hong Tai, Jin Yang and the others were talking, not paying any attention to Ning Yao's lifeless eyes. They said, "When the dark anaconda swallowed her, I would have felt it holding the rope, which means that the thing is still at the bottom of the pool and is alive and well. If that's the case, we'd better evacuate immediately."

"Jinyang!"

Hong Tai raised his voice, pointed at the python he was riding, and said, "If anything goes wrong later, you will ride it."

Jinyang, who was of noble status, saw that Hongtai, who always treasured his spiritual beast, was willing to give him the python to ride. He suddenly realized that even Hongtai did not have confidence and was afraid that the "dark anaconda" would suddenly rush out from the bottom of the pool.

The selfish Jinyang exchanged glances with Hongtai, then understood what he meant and walked in front of the python.

He knew that Hongtai had another way to escape.

If the "Dark Anaconda" suddenly rushed out, these dark ghosts who were still surrounding the black water pool under Hong Tai's orders would be the first to become the targets of the "Dark Anaconda".

At that time, anyone who is not as fast as the python and Hongtai will ward off disaster for him and Hongtai.

While Jinyang was thinking this, Hongtai, who had connected the iron chains one by one, directly twisted the big net that tied Ning Yao up, and threw the net towards the central area of the lake like a fish net.

“Plop!”

When Ning Yao entered the water, everyone looked at her and found that she was indeed not corroded and did not turn into a pile of bones.

"She has reached the Tongmai realm, so she should be able to hold her breath underwater for a long time. But this might be even worse. She might be able to watch with her own eyes as the giant dark anaconda swallows her into its mouth."

Hong Tai, who was holding the iron chain, seemed to be speaking in a relaxed manner, but he was actually quite nervous.

He made preparations secretly.

Once you feel a huge pull, it means that the "Dark Anaconda" has swallowed Ning Yao, which means that the evil creature from the fifth realm is still alive at the bottom of the pool.

He could only abandon this place temporarily and leave quickly to report the matter to the Dark Ghost leaders, waiting for them to find a way to deal with the "Dark Anaconda".

The leader wearing the golden mask and the original owner of the giant net subconsciously moved away from the black water pool the moment the silver net entered the water.

The two men's cold eyes flickered as they looked at a group of subordinates who were not aware of the danger and were still cautiously approaching and gazing at the water.

These two men who have cultivated to the Tongmai realm have known Hongtai for a long time. Ever since Hongtai was willing to let Jinyang ride on the python, they knew that they could become cannon fodder at any time.

They were also secretly on guard. As long as Hongtai made any unusual moves, they would try their best to escape from the Black Water Pond.

Bottom of the pool.

Pang Jian woke up from his cultivation state and felt a dull pain in his spiritual sea. When he concentrated his mind, he found that the pain came from the "membrane" of the small world in his spiritual sea.

—His Dantian spiritual sea seemed to have expanded a lot.

The vortex in his dantian was still spinning slowly, tempering and purifying the absorbed spiritual energy, transforming it into spiritual power that he could actually feel.

However, the acidic and poisonous abilities that he had swallowed with the dark blue "Spirit Pot" had disappeared without him noticing.

Recalling the previous situation, he realized that what caused his Dantian spiritual sea to expand seemed not to be the spiritual energy in the pool water, but the acidic and poisonous power flowing out of the giant python's mouth.

"It seems that there have been five times when I felt my soul sea being filled with power. And every time I felt full, the acidic and poisonous powers expanded my soul sea like a new frontier. Five times of full energy, could it be that this represents the fifth level of Qi Refining?"

Pang Jian pondered secretly.

At this time, he discovered that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in the pool water had become extremely thin. Even if he entered into meditation and practiced again, the benefits he could obtain would be very limited.

At this moment, the phoenix bones are still there, and the humanoid monster is still there, but the mysterious amber light that he was expecting has not yet formed.

"The flesh and blood of the giant python is too powerful. After eating the phoenix bone, it seems to take longer to digest."

Pang Jian hesitated at the bottom of the pool.

Thinking that since the acid and poison abilities that could help him grow rapidly were no longer in the Black Water Pond, should he choose to leave

If you wait any longer, the magic within the phoenix bone will eventually reappear, and the humanoid monster that has been waiting for it for a long time wants the magic within.

This seems to have nothing to do with me...

Pang Jian lowered his head and looked at his arms, seeing the wounds that no longer bleed, and recalled the various strange conditions he had experienced when fighting with the Zhang Hu brothers.

He recalled the strange scene in his dream again.

"It must be that disappearing amber light that made me so powerful today!"

This went on for a long time.

He looked up in astonishment and saw a large silver net, wrapping the young lady of the Ning family and sinking slowly to the bottom of the pool.

Miss Ning's cheeks were puffed up in the silver net, as if she had taken a deep breath before entering the water.

Her image at this moment no longer had the noble and proud look she had when they first met.

Now a prisoner, her face turned pale, and her wide-open eyes were filled with panic and fear of the unknown.

She saw the winding snake bones at the bottom of the pool, the python head pierced by the phoenix bones, and Ouyang Duanhai's hunger for the phoenix bones.

“Hmm!”

Suddenly, she saw a person emerging from the rock wall at the bottom of the pool where the light was extremely dim, and rushing straight towards her.

"Pang Jian!"

Ning Yao screamed in her heart, she couldn't believe her eyes.

So much time has passed, and this young hunter who she hired from outside the mountains at a huge price is actually still alive in the Black Water Pond!

"He, he came to save me!"

Ning Yao was a little touched at this moment. Thinking that she and the Ning family did not take Pang Jian too seriously, and the threats she had made a while ago, she couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

Looking at Pang Jian who was approaching quickly, with his muscular body holding a dragon-patterned spear and his angular face like a sculpture, Ning Yao discovered for the first time that this young hunter actually had a unique charm.

—It was a kind of wildness that was unfamiliar to her.

Ning Yao, who had rekindled the fire of hope and was eager to survive, was also paying attention to Ouyang Duanhai who had turned into a monster.

She began to worry about Pang Jian, fearing that this coward from the Ouyang family, who had lost his intelligence, would suddenly attack and hinder Pang Jian's arrival.

Fortunately, Ouyang Duanhai, who had become an alien, never took his eyes off the Phoenix Bone from beginning to end, which made her secretly relieved.

Finally, she saw Pang Jian stretching his lean body, and he was already very close.

She waved her hands with difficulty in the net, and gently exhaled some air to make her cheeks less puffy and look a little better.

She also forced a smile towards Pang Jian, which she thought was a nice one, and waited eagerly for Pang Jian to help her break the silver net.

The next moment, the smile she had been trying so hard to show on her face suddenly froze, and her eyes were full of doubt and confusion.

She stared at Pang Jian blankly.

She watched as Pang Jian pulled the cloth bag containing the spirit stones off her back through the gap in the silver net that held her, then waved goodbye to her and quickly disappeared into the darkness at the bottom of the pool.

Ning Yao looked at the place where Pang Jian disappeared with a confused look on her face, and the already forced smile on her face gradually became stiff.

"Bang!"

It was not until she and the silver net touched the bottom that she suddenly woke up. Then she felt like a powder keg was lit, struggling in the net and crawling towards Pang Jian.

She forgot her situation, forgot that she was a prisoner of the dark ghost, and forgot the many strange things at the bottom of the pool.

She was determined to find Pang Jian and crush this despicable thief who had let her down to the ground on the spot!

She placed all her hopes on Pang Jian, but Pang Jian was just coveting her bag of spirit stones!

She used her hands and feet at the bottom of the pool, grabbing the ground with her hands through the mesh and crawling forward, her bright eyes spitting fire as she rushed towards Pang Jian.

"A sick woman."

Pang Jian, who got the cloth bag containing pure spirit stones, returned to the stone gate. He hid in the dark and watched Ning Yao's ridiculous actions, thinking that this woman was really courting death.

At the same time, the iron chains outside suddenly moved.

Hong Tai held the iron chain tightly with both hands, feeling the movement of the chain, his hands were shaking a little, and he said: "Prepare to retreat! There should be living things down there, the net is moving very vigorously!"

The two leaders of the Tongmai Realm had been watching his subtle movements. Upon hearing his words, they rushed out of the valley like lightning, one to the left and one to the right.

The two of them didn't even turn their heads back and didn't listen to what Hong Tai said. They just wanted to get away from the bloody place that was about to turn into a Shura field as soon as possible.

Jinyang didn't care about anything else. He quickly landed on the python with black and white snake patterns, intending to rely on the python to escape from here.

"No, that's not right!"

"This noise... doesn't sound like being swallowed by a dark anaconda! The dark anaconda's strength is definitely not this light!"

Hong Tai, who originally wanted to discard the iron chain and perform forbidden techniques to escape, felt the force coming from the other end of the iron chain and tried to pull it.

He actually pulled it!

"Not the Dark Anaconda!"

He suddenly reacted and realized that the horrible creature from the fifth realm could not be easily shaken by him at any time if it had its bite on the silver net that entangled Ning Yao.

With infinite curiosity in his heart, he pulled the iron chain hard, pulling it back continuously.

Pang Jian, who was in the darkness at the bottom of the pool, saw Ning Yao, who was staggering with her hands and feet wrapped in the silver net, suddenly fly up and head towards the water surface when Hong Tai was pulling the net back.

There is one more silver ally, and one more ally. I bow my head and express my gratitude. There are still people who remember antique figures like Lao Ni. Thank you to every friend who gave rewards and votes.

This book, Purgatory, is absolutely a work that I put a lot of effort into, so you can read it with confidence.

Really, no lie~~
