Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 89: Underground City of Ashes

Views:

Above the Jiehui City, a rope was floating straight in the air. It was pulled apart. Su Yun stood on the rope and looked down at the Jiehui City below with all his might.

A large part of Jiehui City is buried in Jiehui rocks. The area of this underground city is exactly the same as that of Shuofang City!

It is truly shocking that such a vast city is buried in black stone.

The miners at the Jiehui Factory mined along the city walls, looking for the city gates and mining all the way into the city.

The outer wall of Jiehui City has been mined. It is a dark, slanted wall, cold and looks like it is made of black metal. There is a huge wheel-shaped mark on the surface of the wall, which is somewhat similar to the spoke-shaped body of the Jiehui Monster. I don't know whether it is a totem, formation or rune worshipped by the Jiehui Monster.

"The traces left by the civilization of the previous era have a unique kind of magnificence." Su Yun thought to himself.

He looked towards the cluster of copper pillars hanging from the Shuofang building complex. That was the city of Jiehui. Shuofang City had as many as thirty-six building complexes, which were controlled by the city's aristocratic families, government officials, and the four major academies.

The groups of copper pillars hanging from these building groups happen to fall in extremely important places in Jiehui City, because there are ancient and dark palaces in Jiehui City!

There are a total of thirty-six palace clusters in Jiehui City, all of which are suppressed by the bronze pillar clusters, without exception!

"Lou Ban Tanyou is indeed suppressing something! However, Lou Ban Tanyou said that the small piece of wood is a key. What does this mean? If it is a key, then there must be a lock. Where is the lock?"

Su Yun carefully looked at the layout of Jiehui City and searched carefully. He found that most of the Jiehui in Jiehui City had not been mined. The miners mainly mined the streets in the outer city and the inner city. The layout of these streets was very regular!

Su Yun's heart moved slightly. These streets leading to the palaces in the city were just like the body structure of the robbery monster, forming a spoke-like texture!

Looking down from above, the urban layout of Jiehui City looks just like thirty-six wheels of different sizes, with the streets being the spokes.

The miners' mining target was very accurate, which was the thirty-six palaces in Jiehui City!

"And the thirty-six palaces in the city should also be spokes, and these spokes lead to the same place. And this place may be the lock that the stall owner of Louban mentioned!"

Su Yun looked at it carefully. If the thirty-six palaces were connected, all the lines would intersect at one point!

His gaze was directed towards a mountain of calamity in the city. He regarded the circle formed by the thirty-six palaces of calamity as a wheel, with the connected palaces as spokes, and the center point being this mountain of calamity!

At this moment, Su Yun saw that a street in Jiehui City had been mined, and this street led to Jiehui Mountain!

The ash in Jiehui City is enough for Shuofang to use for hundreds of years. There is no need for the ash factory run by the Tong family to dig up the ash in the inner city. The ash in the outer city alone is enough for a hundred years!

The reason for mining in the city center is obviously for other purposes!

"That is to say, the Tong family discovered the secret of the Thirty-Six Palaces of Jiehui City a long time ago, and they have been mining this Jiehui Mountain, trying to uncover the secrets within!"

Su Yun's pupils suddenly shrank as he saw that in addition to ordinary mine carts, there were also mountain-carrying beasts in this Jiehui City!

A dozen miners in the city used pulleys and steel ropes to lift up a huge black stone. On the back of the mountain-carrying beast was a large frame made of wooden stakes as thick as a bowl, which was tied tightly. There were also four or five miners in the large wooden frame, who pulled the black stone over and placed it on the back of the mountain-carrying beast.

From a distance, those black stones looked like coffins painted with black paint!

"Could it be a whole piece of ash? Something is wrong..."

Su Yun looked from a distance and saw the mountain-carrying beast carrying the black stone and walking towards the outside of Jiehui City. There was actually a spiritualist standing on the back of the mountain-carrying beast!

The reason why Su Yun thought he was a spiritualist was because this person displayed his spiritual power. It was a round divine furnace with three legs and four wind eyes. In the wind eyes, there was a Bifang divine bird flapping its wings and soaring.

At this time, several mountain-carrying beasts had already walked out of Jiehui City. There was a spiritualist on the back of each mountain-carrying beast, who was supervising the beast and was very cautious.

What’s strange is that these mountain beasts did not go towards other mines in the Jiehui Factory, but went in another direction!

Su Yun was puzzled. The entrances to the mines of the robbery factory were naturally together, and there could be no other entrances. However, the Tong family's robbery factory had other entrances!

These mountain-carrying beasts had obviously dug up the ashes and secretly transported them from another mine to other places!

"However, the Jie Hui Factory is the property of the Tong family. Why are they mining the Jie Hui Mine in such a sneaky way?"

Su Yun became even more curious about the Jie Hui Factory. If these were obviously his own things, why would they spend so much money and secretly transport them to other places, fearing that others would find out

Are those black boulders the ash mine

At this moment, a mountain beast suddenly stumbled, probably because it slipped, and fell to the ground. The black stone in the wooden frame on its back suddenly slipped and hit the ground!

The black boulder cracked and broke into two pieces. A gray monster rolled out from the boulder!

Su Yun was stunned. The huge rock was not just any stone, it was actually a sarcophagus!

The sarcophagus that buried the Gray Monster!

But to his surprise, the "corpse" of the robbery gray monster suddenly moved, and then stood up shakily, and the wings behind it spread out with a whoosh, and it was about to flap and fly!

At the moment he flapped his wings, the spiritualist from the Tong family who had just been standing on the back of the beast had reacted. He turned the Bifang divine furnace upside down and trapped the Jiehui monster inside the furnace.

The ash monster rushed left and right in the divine furnace, trying to escape, but unfortunately the spiritualist was also very powerful and he was always able to suppress him steadily.

Several more spiritualists came running over and shouted, "Hold on, don't let him go! Otherwise, the bald donkey from Wenchang Academy will take the opportunity to blackmail you again!"

Those spiritual masters were also from the Tong family, but they practiced Buddhism. Rays of Buddha’s light and magical powers shot into the Bifang divine furnace.

Su Yun watched for a moment, and saw that the Bifang Divine Furnace had dissipated, and the Huihui Monster in the furnace had turned into a stone sculpture, without any life.

He stood on a high place and listened, and heard the spiritualists talking: "It's a pity that a robbery monster died. They will most likely be punished again."

"This kind of Jiehui monster is not afraid of anything except the magical power of Buddha. It will die if it is exposed to the power of Buddha."

Su Yun frowned slightly, grabbed the magic rope and shook it hard, and the magic rope immediately shortened rapidly.

Su Yun suddenly fell down. The young man was in mid-air, and his blood and energy activated the small golden wooden bell. The small wooden bell turned into a pair of Bifang wings and inserted into his back. He pumped his blood and energy into the wings, and flapped his wings and flew away.

The spiritualists below heard the sound of flapping wings and looked up, but saw nothing.

Su Yun flew into the city and used the wooden bell to transform into wings to maintain his flying posture, which was equivalent to constantly urging the spiritual weapon, which consumed a lot of his energy.

Using spiritual weapons to fly consumes his energy very quickly, and he can hardly bear it. If he continues to consume it, he estimates that his energy will be almost used up by the time he glides to the ground.

He urged the furnace to transform, and the blood in his body circulated. The four sacred things on the furnace wall suddenly became clear, connecting with the four sacred vital energy in the void and interacting with each other.

Su Yun immediately realized that the four sacred energies were like being pulled by spider silk, turning into trickles that continuously flowed into the furnace in his body and transformed into his own energy!

In this way, the rate of loss of Qi and blood can be tolerated.

Just as he activated the Honglu Transmutation and Nourishing Qi chapter, sensing the four sacred gods pulling the four vital energies, in a hall surrounded by a dozen huge copper pillars in the city, a dozen spiritualists surrounded a middle-aged and slightly plump man, supervising the miners dragging pieces of black stone coffin out of the hall.

Suddenly, the wealthy middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise, walked out of the hall and looked up at the sky.

"Mr. Luo, what's wrong?" The Confucian scholar Tong Xuan followed out and asked.

The middle-aged man, Tong Qingluo, looked up and said, "I sensed a strong flow of strange energy in the sky. It's weird. Could someone have sneaked in?"

He was about to order a search for the uninvited guest when he suddenly heard a commotion in Jiehui City. A spiritualist from the Tong family shouted, "Oh no! The Jiehui monster has come out!"

Tong Qingluo's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, there are uninvited guests! Search everyone immediately and kill them without mercy!"

In the hall, spiritualists rushed out one after another, heading towards the noise.

At this time, Su Yun spread the magic rope in the air again, stood on the rope, and could see clearly in the air with the help of the light of the city's robbery lamps.

The red-dressed girl Wutong and the whole village were seen having dinner with Jiao Shuao, who had already walked into the city. The miners and spiritualists in Jiehui City seemed not to have seen them, and they panicked and fled in all directions.

A bone sword flew out in front of Jiao Shuao, whizzing in the air and piercing through the black stone coffins on the backs of the mountain beasts!

After the black stone coffins were pierced, the calamity monsters in the coffins breathed in the air and immediately came to life. They shattered the black stone coffins and started a killing spree, grabbing miners and spiritualists everywhere and devouring them!

Even the spiritualists of the Tong family will suffer if they are not careful when facing the robbery monster!

Fortunately, the Tong family attached great importance to Jiehui City. In addition to the Tong family's spiritualists, there were also scholars from the Shuofang Academy who were affiliated with the Tong family. They poured out from the halls in the city and took action to suppress the unrest.

Jiao Shuao released more and more ash monsters, causing chaos in the city. The miners fled at high speed, while others simply hid in the corners of the city and dared not to come out.

Su Yun frowned. Those gray monsters would fly up from time to time, grab people or cows, fly into the air, and eat their flesh and blood in the air!

Suddenly, after a gray monster ate a cow, it caught sight of Su Yun standing on the rope, and immediately flapped its wings and rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed!

Su Yun didn't think twice, and the golden wooden bell dissipated and turned into a pair of golden wings behind him. He faced the gray monster and directly used the Sky Spreading Red Wings!

As his moves were activated, there was a whoosh and the sky suddenly became brightly lit with fire. It was as if Su Yun's wings had really turned into the wings of the divine Bifang, emitting a blazing divine fire!

As his blood and energy circulated, the flaming feathers on his wings seemed to come alive, like the teeth of a sword, spinning forward and colliding with the gray monster with a loud bang!

laugh-

The calamity ash monster was split in half by his wings, and black blood spilled, forming crystal ash particles in the air!

Su Yun hurriedly changed his martial arts technique and dispersed the Bifang Divine Wings to avoid touching the ashes.

These ashes are extraordinary. They will explode at the slightest touch, extremely violently!

And below are the ash veins and there are also huge mines. If they are ignited, the ash will burn and the entire Shuofang City will turn into a sea of fire!

"This kind of robbery ash is very useful!"

Su Yun urged his qi and blood, and it suddenly turned into a two-meter-long glutton. It took a long breath and absorbed all the qi and blood spilled by the robbery gray monster into its mouth.

The black blood turned into particles of ash when it came into contact with the air. They fell together with a clanging sound and filled the gills of the gluttonous monster.

At the same time, the Bifang divine wings turned into a small golden wooden bell and fell into Su Yun's hands. At this moment, Su Yun suddenly heard the sound of a sword. Without thinking, the small wooden bell turned into a wooden sword and he swung the sword towards the sound of the sword!

The sound of the sword disappeared.

In Jiehui City, the whole village was having a meal when Jiao Shuao took back his Dragon Tooth Sword with an expressionless face, only half of the Dragon Tooth Sword was left.

"That man broke my Dragon Tooth Sword again." Jiao Shuao said with his eyes twitching.

"Then don't mess with him."

The young girl Wutong was somewhat helpless about his stubbornness and said, "That man can rival you, so he must be a formidable master. He is also here to cause trouble, and his goal is the same as ours, so why bother provoking him?"
