At this time, the distance between the four people was only more than fifty meters. With Wu Dongfang's cultivation level, he could arrive in three seconds at most. However, these three seconds seemed extremely long at this time. Did he enter the middle palace safely or was he bitten by a snake spirit? Live depends on these three critical seconds.
At this time, he could even smell the thick sour gas coming from the snake spirit's mouth. This showed that the snake spirit was no more than ten meters away from the two of them. The snake spirit was a demigod and faster than him. He held Xin Tong and led him With these weapons, the snake spirit will soon catch up with him within ten meters.
Not optimistic, very not optimistic.
Just when Wu Dongfang was secretly complaining, he suddenly felt a hit from behind. The force of the hit was not strong. It felt like someone poured a bucket of water behind him.
After the impact, Wu Dongfang felt a sharp pain in his back, but this sharp pain made him extremely happy. The severe pain undoubtedly came from the venom sprayed by the snake spirit, and once the snake spirit sprayed out venom, its speed would inevitably increase. slow down.
At the critical moment, the snake spirit mistakenly believed that it could not stop them before they entered the middle palace, so it spit out venom to hurt them. When the snake spirit made this decision, it undoubtedly gave up the pursuit.
Wu Dongfang endured the severe pain and rushed forward, holding Fei Xuan's right hand. Xun Shuang and Fei Xuan were already ready to rush into the middle palace. While Wu Dongfang held Fei Xuan's right hand, Xun Shuang He had already rushed into the middle palace and dragged all three of them in with all his strength.
"Be careful." Xun Shuang warned loudly.
Wu Dongfang heard the sound and hurriedly put down Xin Tong and the weapons, took off his bow and arrow and quickly turned around and shot an arrow. This was an ordinary arrow. What he wanted to do was to temporarily block the snake spirit and buy time to shoot the meteorite arrow. But he forgot that ordinary arrows could not break through the barriers between levels, and the arrows were blocked by the spiritual energy barrier after being shot. But at the same time as the arrow was blocked, the snake spirit outside the barrier sprayed venom again.
When the arrow failed, Wu Dongfang immediately took off the meteorite arrow, nocked the arrow and fired the bow. Seeing that he had used the meteorite arrow, the snake spirit subconsciously stepped aside. Wu Dongfang took the opportunity to quickly inject spiritual energy into the arrow.
The bow of the Sunset Bow was covered with the venom of the snake essence. Although the venom could not corrode the Sunset Bow, it could corrode the left hand holding the bow.
Seeing this situation, Fei Xuan and others took out water from the Qiankun bag to clean the venom from his back and Gong's body.
"Don't waste water, find a path quickly." Wu Dongfang said in a deep voice. The water carried in the Qiankun bags of the four people was limited, so they had to save it for drinking after entering the underworld.
At this time, the snake spirit was screaming angrily outside the gap, and at the same time, it was rushing back and forth from the door. Wu Dongfang was on guard, not daring to slack off at all.
"There are eight void stone gates around. There is a circular hole above and below the central area, which is several feet wide. The top is white and the bottom is black. There is no top or bottom, and there are no stairs." Xin Tong quickly reported to Wu Dongfang about the central palace. Condition.
Wu Dongfang nodded. The situation in the middle palace was somewhat different from the rumors and speculations from the outside world, but it did not exceed his expectations. People at this time naturally could not understand space and time tunnels, and collectively called them void. In fact, in this level The eight stone gates and the upper and lower holes are all space tunnels. The eight stone gates connect the eight passes around the central palace, and the upper and lower holes are the entrances to heaven and the underworld.
Strictly speaking, the terms heaven and underworld are inappropriate, because only places under someone's jurisdiction can be called heaven and underworld. These two unknown spaces will be heaven and underworld in the future. Now they are just two unknown spaces.
"There are footprints in the cave. Someone has been here recently." Xun Shuang said.
"The four monsters that went out to cause trouble for us left here." Fei Xuan said.
"Brother Wu, what should I do?" Xin Tong asked.
Wu Dongfang did not speak. He was worried about nothing else at this time, but the issue of the way out. Other monsters could enter the middle palace, and the snake spirit outside could naturally enter the middle palace. If it destroyed the passage to the underworld, the four of them would have Possibly trapped inside.
"I'll go explore the way first." Fei Xuan volunteered.
"No." Wu Dongfang hurriedly stopped him, "We don't know what's going on inside, and we don't even know if we will appear in the same area if we enter one after another. We have to go in together."
"Okay." Fei Xuan nodded and said.
The palm of Wu Dongfang's left hand holding the Sunset Bow has been corroded to the bone, and the injury on his back is also extremely serious, and must be healed as soon as possible.
"Hold hands." Fei Xuan stretched out his hand.
Xin Tong knew that Xun Shuang didn't like contact with men, so he took the lead and took Fei Xuan's hand, then extended his hand to her.
Xun Shuang held Xin Tong's hand and said to Wu Dongfang, "Okay!"
"Look at the arrow!" After shouting, Wu Dongfang turned his bow sharply. Seeing this, the snake spirit mistakenly thought that he was going to release the arrow, and hurriedly turned to avoid it. However, Wu Dongfang did not release the arrow, but clamped the arrow on the bow with his left hand. Meteor Iron Arrow grabbed Xun Shuang's hand with his right hand that was not stained with venom, "Let's go!"
The three of them were already well prepared. Upon hearing his shout, they jumped towards the center of the palace.
When the snake spirit outside the door saw the four people leaving their positions, they thought they had an opportunity and rushed through the aura barrier and entered the middle palace. However, after entering the middle palace, they found that Wu Dongfang did not loosen the bow string, but held the bow with one hand. The iron arrow was still on the string.
Although the meteorite arrows cannot kill it, they can disperse it. There are void arches everywhere here. If the broken flesh and blood enters other levels, it will not be able to reunite.
The panic on the snake spirit's face revealed its deepest thoughts. Wu Dongfang guessed that shattering it here would prevent its body from being reunited. However, he did not release the arrow, but shouted loudly before entering the pit. Shouted, "If you have never attacked us, I will not kill you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed. The surroundings were extremely dark, and there was nothing real under his feet. It was very similar to the feeling of flying in the air.
"We have probably arrived in the underworld." Fei Xuan said loudly. At the same time, he stood firm in the air and retracted his arms to help Wu Dongfang and others stabilize their bodies.
The three of them adjusted their angles and stood in the air. They saw thick fog around them. They didn't know whether it was really fog or clouds from the underworld. Being in the clouds and fog, their sight was blocked and they could only see the scenery within tens of meters around them, while dozens of surrounding areas were not visible. There is nothing but clouds and mist in Minai.
This should be the underworld. In secular terms, the underworld is an unknown space. In scientific terms, it is an unknown space. The environment here is very different from the environment where living people live. When entering this strange environment, the first thing to determine is whether you can breathe.
After taking a deep breath, Wu Dongfang found that his breathing was relatively smooth. The temperature here was very low, not exceeding ten degrees. When he looked up, it was pitch black, with no stars or the hole where the four people had jumped.
"Brother Wu, your injury." Xin Tong said.
"It's okay, we'll talk about it later." Wu Dongfang slowly relaxed the bowstring.
"Why can't you see the path you came from?" Xun Shuang asked.
"Could it be the Venus eel that destroyed the middle palace?" Xin Tong asked.
"Probably not. I didn't kill it before, so it won't destroy the path. In addition, we may not need to go back the same way, so don't worry." Wu Dongfang said, at the same time, he concentrated on sensing the impact of the surrounding environment on his body and spiritual energy. It was extremely cold, and the cold air outside was slowly consuming the spiritual energy in the body.
"The yin energy here is very strong. If we stay here for too long, it will damage our yang energy." Fei Xuan said.
"It's not a big problem to stay for a few days." Wu Dongfang shook his head and said. Anyone entering a strange environment will be nervous, and the four of them are no exception. However, he is the backbone of the three. He not only has to restrain his own nervousness, but also relieve Fei Xuan and others. The pressure in people's hearts.
After Wu Dongfang finished speaking, the three of them remained silent and adjusted their mental states while observing the environment.
Wu Dongfang took back the meteorite iron arrows, handed the bow, arrows and sundries to Fei Xuan, took off his torn robe, wiped off the venom attached to his body, and turned his spiritual energy to generate wood energy to heal the wounds on his palms and back.
After the wound was completely healed, he put on the clothes he took out of the Qiankun bag.
"The yin energy here is too strong, and the body-protecting spiritual energy must be generated." Fei Xuan said.
Wu Dongfang nodded. This place was filled with a lot of bad breath. This kind of breath was harmful to the human body. It was very uncomfortable for the body to come into direct contact with these breaths.
Each wizard can generate protective aura. As holy witches, the four of them can easily generate protective aura. Since the protective aura is only to isolate bad external atmosphere, not to buffer the attacks, none of the four people use the protective aura. When applied to the extreme, the body-protecting spiritual energy is an inch away from the body, and very little spiritual energy is consumed.
The environment here is extremely depressing, there is no sound around, and there is deathly silence.
The dullness caused by the dead silence made the four people feel heavy, and the heavy Yin Qi gave birth to a strong aura of death. Fei Xuan took out a pancake from the Qiankun bag and held it in his hand. Soon the pancake showed mold spots.
"It's the underworld," Fei Xuan said.
Wu Dongfang nodded. Offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods has been around since ancient times. It is known that the sacrifices decay much faster than ordinary food. According to folklore, they were eaten by ghosts and were contaminated with yin energy. In scientific terms, it means that it is contaminated with bad smells and accelerates the decay process. It is essentially the same truth, but there are different explanations.
"Fortunately, we have Qiankun bags. If we bring food in, it will rot quickly." Fei Xuan threw away the pancake in his hand.
"We are well prepared and have enough food and water." Wu Dongfang looked around the three of them, "How long can the spiritual energy in your body last?"
"Even if you continue to practice this method, it will be exhausted within a hundred days." Fei Xuan said.
Xin Tong nodded, which meant that the spiritual energy in his body was also very full.
"That's not right." Xun Shuang shook his head and said, "We cannot borrow external spiritual energy to perform the method here. The spiritual energy consumed to perform the method is several times that of the Yang world."
After Xun Shuang finished speaking, the three of them all frowned. Xun Shuang was right. Everyone did not belong here. Their aura was incompatible with the atmosphere of the underworld and they could not borrow the aura of the underworld.
"Even if we can't borrow spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in our bodies is more than enough." Wu Dongfang said, his words were both true and to reassure everyone.
"Brother Wu, how far are we from the ground now?" Xin Tong looked up.
"It's not that far." Wu Dongfang said casually. The distance between the underworld and the yang world is immeasurable. They are two completely different spaces.
"No matter who dares to stop us, we will be killed without mercy." Wu Dongfang said that before the battle begins, the commander must set the basic principles of the battle.
All three of them nodded.
Wu Dongfang circulated his spiritual energy, stimulating the fire in his heart, and produced a flame outside himself. Xin Tong followed suit and performed the red fire dance.
"Fei Xuan follows Xin Tong, and Xun Shuang follows me." Wu Dongfang said.
The three of them nodded again.
"Go, get down." Wu Dongfang Yuhuo dived, Xun Shuang followed immediately.
Xin Tong and Fei Xuan also set off, and two red flames fell rapidly from the dark night sky...
