Chapter 52: Black Cave

Views:

In the arena, everyone frowned, seeing that seductive woman under heavy siege, taking out this strange magic weapon, most of them thought it was a fight between trapped beasts, and they all concentrated on their guard at the moment. Only Shitou yelled loudly, and the broken magic staff flew towards the air, rushing forward.

Zhang Xiaofan didn't have time to say "be careful" from behind, only to see the three-tailed demon fox's slender and charming eyes glance at the huge body of Shi Shi rushing towards him, each hand held a red ear beside the jade ring, slowly lifted it up, to the front.

The jade ring turned slightly, as if it still reflected her face.

The moonlight was cold and shone on the Xuanhuo Jian. For some reason, the ancient flame totem engraved seemed to be resurrected at this moment, lifelike, as if it was really burning.

The stone soared into the air, and the Shasha-breaking staff burst through the air, shouting loudly: "Monster, die!"

At that moment, the center of the Xuanhuo Jian, where the flame totem is, suddenly changed from the original dark red color to a bright, almost transparent red color, as if in a blink of an eye, the flame The totem has been burnt to blazing heat by the Nine Heavens Divine Fire.

And that flame totem has turned into a raging fire.

With that seductive woman as the center, an invisible mass of fiery air rushed out to the surroundings with a "huh". Except for the place where she was standing a few feet, all the vegetation within three feet around her disappeared in an instant. They were all burnt yellow, but I don't know why, but there was no spark, and it didn't catch fire.

Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio turned pale, never thought that there is such a powerful magic weapon in the hands of the three-tailed fox.

The stone who threw himself at the three-tailed demon fox in mid-air also saw this scene in his eyes. Although he was also surprised by the power of this magic weapon, he didn't show any fear at all. In his hand, facing the wind longer, he let out a scream in the air, circled in a circle, and beat the three-tailed demon fox head-on.

The body of the stick was still in the air, and the ground was covered with sand and flying stones. The three-tailed demon fox's weak body seemed about to be blown away by the strong wind. But she smiled coldly, hooked the red silk tassels with her hands and fingers, and leaned slightly, aiming at the rushing stone.

The burning Xuanhuo Jian was reflected in her soft eyes, like two clusters of angry flames.

"boom"!

Amidst the loud noise, a fire dragon spewed out suddenly from the flame totem in the center of the Xuanhuojian, baring its teeth and claws, with a shocking momentum. The raging flames were burning all over its body, and it actually illuminated most of the forest as bright as day.

Shi Shi was taken aback, and saw that the fire dragon grew rapidly. It was still a flame when it first came out of the Xuanhuo Jian, but when it reached in front of him, the dragon head alone was as big as two people, especially the fiery air, rushing towards him. Come, it almost makes people suspect that they are in the furnace.

Looking from Zhang Xiaofan below, he saw that the black hair on the temples had turned yellow withered before the stone was impacted by the huge fire dragon. It is conceivable what kind of situation Shitou faced. .

But looking at the stone, he was awe-inspiring and unafraid, even though he was shocked, under the urging of his mana, the Posha staff became more golden, and hit the head of the rushing dragon.

The fire dragon roared in mid-air, and a pair of huge dragon's eyes spurted out two flames of anger. It suddenly opened its fiery mouth, and bit the huge mace it had knocked down.

The halo of golden and red colors mixed with their intersection as the center, rapidly expanded, accompanied by rumbling thunder.

Shi Shi only felt that for a moment the broken evil staff in his hand was so hot that he could hardly hold it. Shocked, he mustered up his divine power and abruptly pulled out the broken evil staff from the dragon's mouth.

I saw the fire dragon flying in the sky, roaring non-stop, opened its mouth wide, and spewed out a thick pillar of fire, straight towards the stone.

Shi Shi let out a loud roar, holding the magic formula with both hands, standing in front of him with the Shasha-shattering staff, shining golden light, and raised a wall of light to block the pillar of fire, but his body was involuntarily caught by the huge stick. Push straight back.

Zhang Xiaofan saw that the stone was downwind and was in danger, he quickly shot, the fire stick shot up silently, and shot at the fire dragon from the side. Unexpectedly, the fire dragon seemed to have a spirituality, and it didn't know it without looking. It turned its head, stared with giant eyes, opened its dragon's mouth, and a thick pillar of fire rushed towards it.

Zhang Xiaofan was caught off guard, saw the flames rushing towards him like a mountain, he couldn't avoid it, he had to grit his teeth, urge his mana, the fire stick glowed blue, he went forward and resisted the pillar of fire.

At this moment, I saw the three-tailed demon fox let out a long laugh, soaring into the sky, the mysterious fire appraiser in his hand was shining brightly, and rushed towards the two of them.

Zhang Xiaofan and Shitou were fighting with the fire dragon, they were shocked when they saw this, even Bi Yao who was standing behind the three-tailed demon fox was quite surprised, in a hurry, with a loud shout, Bi Yao flew up, his right hand was like jade Stretching out her fingers, the sad flower turned into countless petals, flying all over the sky, and attacked the Three-tailed Demon Fox.

But in a place that was not seen by others, Baguio's left hand was quietly placed on his waist, holding the little golden bell in his hand.

The Three-Tailed Demon Fox seemed to know the strength of Sad Flower, so he didn't dare to take it head-on, he dodged and dodged, but Bi Yao didn't chase after him, he dodged to Zhang Xiaofan's place, Ling Kong stood beside him.

Zhang Xiaofan raised his head and glanced at her, Bi Yao's eyes flickered, but he just happened to look over at him too.

Zhang Xiaofan didn't know why, he immediately turned his head again.

The fire dragon was still showing off its power in mid-air, but after Baguio rushed over, the three-tailed demon fox stretched out his hand without any hesitation, and Xuanhuojian flew back to her hand, and his whole body turned into a white light, disappearing into the woods in the dark depths.

Zhang Xiaofan and the other three couldn't help being stunned.

※※※

In the distance, Zhou Yixian breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it seems that the three-tailed demon fox is still not good enough to display the power of the Xuanhuo Jian, so he can only scare these young people. With the power of Xuanhuojian, these people are in danger."

Xiaohuan said dissatisfiedly: "How do you know that she is not good enough? I think she is one against three, so she is still not defeated!"

Zhou Yixian glared at her, and said: "What do you know, the Xuanhuo Jian is an ancient god, and its power is unmatched. It is said that when it is at its most powerful, it can summon fire dragons from all over the world and burn everything in the world. Then why don't these few Young people who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth have been burned to the point where there is not even ashes left!"

Xiaohuan snorted, ignored him, turned to look at the field, suddenly frowned, and said: "Grandpa, they seem to be chasing after him again."

Zhou Yixian was taken aback, looked quickly, saw that Zhang Xiaofan and others seemed to have discussed a few words, then turned around and chased after the place where the three-tailed demon fox disappeared just now.

Stone went first, Zhang Xiaofan took two steps, but found that Biguio hadn't moved, so he turned around, facing Biguio, seemed to want to say something, but for some reason, he hesitated to speak, his face turned red .

On the other hand, Bi Yao suddenly smiled slightly, and seemed to say something in a low voice, going first, Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and followed.

Zhou Yixian was stunned for a moment, then stomped his feet and said, "These young people really don't know how to live or die. The three-tailed demon fox has the Xuanhuo Jian in his hand, how dare he chase after him?"

Xiaohuan took a bite of candied haws next to her (she never threw it away from the beginning), and said calmly, "Didn't you say that? The three-tailed demon fox is not good enough to display the true power of Xuanhuojian. That being the case, it doesn't mean that she doesn't have the Profound Fire Mirror, so what are these young people afraid of?"

Zhou Yixian was dumb, as if choked, unable to speak for a while, after a while, suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "Quick, let's go too!"

Xiaohuan was taken aback by him, and said, "Let's go? Where are you going?"

Zhou Yixian strode forward and said, "Of course it's to get rid of the demon."

Xiaohuan followed up with a sneer, and said: "In the past, I have encountered so many big monsters, small monsters, and big and small monsters, why do I only see you running, but I don't see you rushing to kill them?"

Zhou Yixian blushed, and said: "The most important thing for us to walk the rivers and lakes is to have self-knowledge...Huh?"

Halfway through his speech, he suddenly stopped, and his eyes were attracted by another thing. Xiaohuan was behind him, following his gaze, but what Zhouxian was looking at was something that had stopped there quietly from the beginning without any movement—Gujing.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan and others have disappeared into the darkness, and the seemingly endless monsters just now are completely gone. Only Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan were left in the woods, the moonlight was cold, silently shining on the ancient well, reflecting the moss and ancient marks, revealing a bit of vicissitudes and desolation.

Zhou Yixian took a deep breath and walked over. Xiaohuan followed behind him, feeling a little nervous, and said, "Grandpa, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Yixian frowned and said, "I want to see what's weird in this well. Why does the three-tailed demon fox keep asking that young man what he saw?"

Xiaohuan stopped at a place three steps away from the ancient well, feeling a little hairy in her heart, only felt that the surroundings were silent and dark, but it seemed that there was a wind blowing in the darkness, and she didn't know how many eyes were peeping at her in the dark .

Zhou Zhouxian walked to the ancient well, raised his head and looked around, seeing nothing unusual, he wanted to look down. Xiaohuan suddenly felt a little nervous in the back, and shouted: "Grandpa, be careful."

Zhou Yixian glanced at her, smiled slightly, and said, "It's all right." After finishing speaking, he looked down into the well.

Xiaohuan stared at his face closely, and suddenly saw a trace of surprise appear on Zhou Yixian's tense and solemn face, which changed into joy in a blink of an eye, but turned into doubt, and raised his head in thought.

Xiaohuan stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, what did you see?"

Zhou Yixian frowned and said, "I saw as much gold as a mountain."

Xiaohuan: "..."

Zhou Yixian said to himself: "What is reflected in the well water is not the shadow of a person. It's strange..."

"Ah!" Suddenly, there was a soft cry from Xiaohuan beside him. Zhou Yixian was taken aback and looked at her quickly, only to see that Xiaohuan was lying on the side of the well and looking down at the moment. start.

Zhou Yixian was stunned for a moment, and said, "What did you see?"

Xiaohuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "There are as many candied haws as a mountain."

Zhou Yixian fell to the ground.

Later, when the two of them were walking towards the depths of the woods, Zhou Yixian whispered to Xiaohuan: "After thinking about it, this ancient well is probably the 'Full Moon Well' in ancient legends, that is, when the moon is full. , if a person looks down, he will see the person or thing he loves the most. However, I still don’t understand why the three-tailed demon fox keeps asking that young man what he saw from the well? But now, I really don’t understand I want to know what that boy saw..."

※※※

This forest seems small from the outside, but Zhang Xiaofan and others are in it, in the vast night, there is an illusion of endlessness. The three of them raised their magic weapons and walked through the darkness, closely following a white light in front of them, which was the trace of the three-tailed demon fox when it escaped.

Unexpectedly, the white light only swayed in front of everyone's eyes for a few times, and suddenly disappeared out of thin air. Zhang Xiaofan and others drove the magic weapon, and in a blink of an eye, they came to the place where the white light disappeared, and saw that there was a dense forest of ancient trees, and on the clearing in the forest, there was a small hill, and on the side of the hill, there was an impressive hole, next to the hole The rocks are all black.

Needless to say, this is the Black Stone Cave.

The three of them stopped at the entrance of the cave, looked at each other, and looked into the black stone cave. They only felt that although the entrance of the cave was not big, it was pitch black inside, giving people a feeling of bottomlessness. A gust of cold wind blows out, blows over the body, and chills into the heart.

Bi Yao frowned, and said: "The danger in this cave is unpredictable, and the magic weapon in the demon fox's hand just now is extremely powerful, we should not venture in."

Zhang Xiaofan glanced at her, before he could speak, Shi Shi already said loudly from the side: "Brother Zhang, we have done all we can to get rid of the demon, it's easy for us to give up today, but in the future when this demon fox returns, I'm afraid the disaster will be even worse."

Zhang Xiaofan nodded immediately, said: "Brother Shi is right, let's go in now!"

Bi Yao's complexion changed, and she was about to get angry, but she saw Zhang Xiaofan turned his head, with a sincere face, lowered his voice, and said: "It's really dangerous inside, Brother Shi and I are followers of the righteous way, so it's our duty. You, you..." He paused After a while, he turned his head away, but the voice still came over: "Your own safety is the most important thing, don't commit suicide lightly."

Although Baguio couldn't see Zhang Xiaofan's expression, he could hear some sincere concern in his tone, his heart was inexplicably sweet, but he said coldly: "I can come in if I want, can you control me?"

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, speechless for a while.

Shi Shi looked at the two of them with weird expressions, shook his head, and said, "Brother Zhang, let's go in!"

Zhang Xiaofan responded, and couldn't help but look at Bi Yao again, only to see Bi Yao snorted, and with a movement, he rushed into the black stone cave ahead of the two of them.

Zhang Xiaofan was startled, and hurriedly followed, hearing the whistling wind in his ears, thinking that the stone was also following behind him.

In the darkness, the sad flower in Baguio's hand slowly lit up, and the soft white light illuminated the surrounding five feet or so. Zhang Xiaofan looked around, he saw strange black stones on the surrounding rock walls, they looked as hard as iron, extremely cold.

This black stone cave is similar to the Wanbat Ancient Cave in Kongsang Mountain. Once you enter the cave, the road goes straight down to the ground, but the slope is even higher than the Wanbat Ancient Cave. I don’t know whether it was dug out by the villagers or it was natural .

The three of them walked for a while, and they had already gone deep into the ground, but there was no sound around them, and there was no sign of living things. It didn't seem that in the cave of ten thousand bats, there were countless terrifying vampire bats.

As Zhang Xiaofan walked, his mind couldn't help but drifted back to the scene when he first went down to the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave, and he naturally thought of the time when he and Baguio were trapped in the Blood Dropping Cave under the Necromancer Abyss.

At this moment, Baguio in front suddenly stopped, and let out a soft cry. Zhang Xiaofan thought there was some danger, he was anxious, rushed up and stood beside her, Bi Yao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him.

There is no way to go.

A cliff lay before the eyes, and the bottom of the cliff was pitch black, but from a distance, in the depths of the darkness, there seemed to be some ghost-like things flickering non-stop. Zhang Xiaofan's body trembled, he thought he had returned to the Necromancer Abyss in a trance.

But it is obvious that this place is much worse than Necromancer, and the space alone is more than a hundred times smaller. Zhang Xiaofan frowned, turned his head to look at Shishi. Shi Shi also walked to the edge of the cliff at this moment, took a look, pondered for a while, and said: "Brother Zhang, it seems that we have no choice but to go down."

Zhang Xiaofan nodded, said: "Brother Shi, you have to be careful."

With a solemn expression, Shi Shi said, "You too." After saying that, he pointed at the magic formula, and raised the golden staff of breaking evil spirits, raised in front of him. He jumped up, took a deep breath, and lowered slowly.

Zhang Xiaofan turned his head and took a look at Bi Yao, but this time, he didn't say anything (probably because he was choked back by Bi Yao just now), then he picked up the fire stick and followed.

Baguio was behind him, suddenly smiling, the smile was full of joy.

Gold, blue, and white light clusters slowly fell from the cliff, surrounded by black rocks. Nothing else, there is still no sound in the surrounding area, but there is a strange place, the more it goes down, the temperature around it seems to be slowly rising.

After going down for a certain distance, Zhang Xiaofan gradually saw the surrounding environment clearly by relying on the light of the magic weapon of the three, only to see that there is no way out in front of the cliff, but a whole cliff with strange rocks. The place where the three of them are, looks like an ancient well magnified thousands of times, falling straight down.

Suddenly, the stone at the bottom said anxiously: "Be careful."

Zhang Xiaofan and Bi Yao were taken aback, they hurriedly took precautions, they saw a small cave on the stone wall not far below, in the cave there were two groups of small bright and deep eyes, looking at them.

Shi Shi gestured to them, then slowly leaned towards them, both Zhang Xiaofan and Bi Yao held their breath, and looked there carefully.

approaching, I don't know how long it has been since there was no light shining in this dark place, when the golden light of the stone's broken magic staff illuminated the small hole, they saw the things inside together: it was a slap The big mouse, using this small hole as its nest, is staring at the three uninvited guests with wide-eyed eyes.

Shi Shi shook his head, stepped back, looked at Zhang Xiaofan and Bi Yao behind him, the three smiled wryly, and then went down again.

However, what happened next was something they never expected.

One o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock... The bright or dark light in the dark, dim and dark, slowly lit up around them, in front of, behind, left, right, up and down. In the darkness, there were countless low panting sounds, which seemed to be roaring in the depths of the darkness.

Although the top of the Black Stone Cave seems to be barren and lifeless, but below the cliff, deep into the ground where the sun is out of sight, there are countless creatures multiplying here inconceivably and unexpectedly.

The darkness seemed to have lifted the ancient veil before their eyes. Accompanied by inexplicable heartbeats, starting from the mouse hole, and then going down, there were gradually more and more large and small caves on the stone wall, and finally they were almost separated by a few feet. There is a hole.

And in that cave, there are all kinds of strange creatures inhabiting: small mice and bats, black apes and leopards as tall as a person, I don't know how they prey on weekdays

This is still an animal they had a little impression of in the past, but after descending a short distance, they were even more stunned to see that there was a crab originally born in the water on the stone wall, and this crab had four claws; There are six-legged civet cats that look cute but cannot be named, and there are two-horned monsters that look like pigs with the "king" on their foreheads.

Countless eyes seemed to gather into an ocean of dim light, staring at the three people in the halo.

The more Zhang Xiaofan looked at it, the more surprised he became, he couldn't help thinking that if his old friend Zeng Shushu, whom he met in Qingyun Mountain that day, came here, with his temperament of loving to adopt rare and exotic objects, his mouth would be crooked from laughing.
