298 New passage, dark river, encountering ghosts (4000 characters chapter)(1/2)
Yu Guihai looked around. The surrounding canyon was very open. Beyond the edge of the Grand Canyon in the distance, towering peaks reached into the sky, surrounding the entire Grand Canyon like an iron barrel.
He thought of the Poisonous Miasma Ridge in Qingshan City. Although the area was not as large as here, the terrain was very similar.
They are all surrounded by a circle of tall peaks and a canyon. There is a small low mountain in the center of the canyon. There is a huge bottomless cave under the low mountain. The cave is full of Yin Qi.
He felt very strange. Is this kind of terrain formed naturally by heaven and earth, or was it specially set up by some powerful person?
This thought flashed through his mind. This kind of problem is not something he can consider now. For now, he should think more about how to escape from this mission safely.
Several people quickly came to the foot of the short mountain. Yu Guihai stood at the foot of the mountain and realized that although this short mountain was called a short mountain, it was set off by the surrounding giant mountains.
In fact, when you stand at the foot of the mountain, you will find that this short mountain is actually very tall and very thick, which is why it looks like a ghost head.
Ghost Head's eyes are two huge black caves, and his mouth is even bigger than the two eyes combined.
The entrance to the cave is right in the mouth of the ghost head. As soon as you walk in, you will soon see a long and narrow mountain wall with black cave entrances lined up not far away.
These cave entrances slope downward, and along the winding cave passages, you will reach the first level of the cave, the cave maze.
This level is a huge and complex natural underground maze. The terrain is basically all twists and turns and underground passages extending in all directions.
I don’t know how these passages were formed, but they are densely packed underground throughout the Grand Canyon.
Some people say that this is the passage that the giant demon Qu Yanagawa emerged from under the ground, others say that it is a natural wonder formed by heaven and earth, and still others think that it is the airway formed by the breath of the powerful ghosts and gods in the underworld. In short, there are different opinions, and there is no conclusion.
The mazes on the first floor are not completely connected. This place is composed of many non-connected small mazes. The small maze you reach after entering each hole may not be the same.
The situation on the lower floors is similar.
So if you want to reach a certain location, you may have to choose the entrance. Otherwise, if you enter the wrong entrance, you may never reach the location you want to go to.
"Everyone, please follow closely and don't fall behind, otherwise we may not be able to meet up."
Li Xiaocheng warned, and when everyone agreed, he led the way into a cave entrance. This cave entrance had obviously been chosen long ago. Everyone followed him.
The cave is very smooth and perfectly round, so people can only walk in a long line to walk comfortably.
The cave passage continued downward, and soon, Yu Guihai felt that he had descended about ten meters, and a crosswalk appeared in front of him, filled with a light mist.
Yu Guihai knew that this was the first level of the cave.
This first layer of fog is relatively thin, and monsters and monsters rarely appear, but there are basically no spiritual grasses or spiritual materials produced, and basically no warriors will stay here.
The biggest function here seems to be to use the maze to block outsiders. Many warriors who came here a long time ago were trapped in the maze and starved to death inside.
It was not until later that people finally figured out the situation of this layer of caves through persistent exploration and drew a map of the maze. This made the cave maze no longer a problem.
The map of the first floor that he had memorized naturally appeared in Yu Guihai's mind. The location of this entrance was quickly approved by him, and the directions of the nearby passages were all in his mind.
Li Xiaocheng obviously knew the route in advance, and without taking out a map to look at it, he led everyone into the crossroads with ease.
He led the way in twists and turns, sometimes down, sometimes up, sometimes left, sometimes right. The route he took gradually deviated from the map in Yu Guihai's memory, until in the end it was a completely unfamiliar place.
.
Yu Guihai was not surprised by this. The map he got was only a well-known regular map released by the Martial Arts League. They were places with no secrets that everyone had already explored. It was impossible to include the entire underground maze.
Many forces or people have detected new passage maps, but they do not publish them, but hide them for their own exclusive use.
In particular, there are not just one or two entrances from the first floor to the second floor, but countless, and each entrance reaches a different location.
On the second level, various useful resources began to appear, and even low-level spiritual herbs and spiritual materials began to appear.
Maybe, through an entrance to the second floor, you can reach a treasure land containing treasures of heaven and earth.
Another point is that the second floor is not completely connected. Entering the second floor from different entrances may not be connected at all. Instead, it may be separated by thick stone walls or blocked by abyss.
The same is true for the third floor behind, until the fourth floor is a vast and boundless underground world.
Everyone knows that such a huge underground space should be connected, but because it is too vast and full of powerful monsters, every new entrance is equally likely to represent a treasure that no one has reached.
Therefore, every newly discovered entrance represents huge benefits. As long as you hold it in your hands, the treasure resources generated by the entire new crypt level can be enjoyed exclusively.
This shows how precious a new entrance is. Once it is announced, it will trigger a desperate fight by countless forces.
I don't know if the passage that Li Xiaocheng walked is an exclusive passage, or it is just a passage that he doesn't know about but has a small range of circulation.
Yu Guihai observed the other people carefully and covertly. He was so cunning and cunning that he couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. He didn't know if he knew about this passage or would hide it.
However, the remaining people, including Zhang Yunfeng, showed a bit of surprise and surprise. Obviously, it was the first time for them to know about this passage.
And they all understand the benefits of a new passage. Even if it has been spread in a small area, although it has been developed by those who discovered it earlier, it will still have many benefits, at least far better than those public passages that have been trampled by countless warriors.
much stronger
Not long after, Li Xiaocheng led everyone to the end of a maze passage.
Ahead is a dark, damp stone wall. Under the stone wall, there is a hole going downwards, like a natural well. Under the hole is a gentle underground river.
"Walk!"
Li Xiaocheng took the lead and jumped down from the cave entrance, and everyone then entered. The underground river cave was very wide, with a width of more than ten meters.
A light mist shrouded the river, making it possible for everyone to see only a short distance away.
The cold water flowed out from the mist in the distance and flowed under everyone's feet. The river water only reached the ankles.
Colorful inner energy emerged from everyone's feet to protect their legs and feet, preventing the river water from soaking their shoes.
In a place like this, no one dares to let the river water soak their shoes and touch their skin. Who knows what unknown dangers are hidden in this seemingly calm and harmless river.
"Wait here."
Li Xiaocheng said calmly. After saying that, he stood motionless in the middle of the river.
"Wait?"
Although everyone was surprised, they didn't ask any more questions, and just started to wait for him.
After a long while, nothing happened and no one came to guide us.
Everyone was suspicious. When Yu Guihai saw Shesou giving a few hidden glances, Zhang Yunfeng coughed lightly and asked: "Steward Li, what are you waiting for here? Do you want to
Can you explain it to everyone?"
Li Xiaocheng looked around at everyone and saw doubts on everyone's faces. He chuckled and said, "Of course I'm waiting to go to the next floor."
"How to get there?" Zhang Yunfeng's face became more and more confused.
"Haha, we'll find out later." Li Xiaocheng said with a mysterious smile.
After a while, Yu Guihai's heart moved, and he listened quietly. There was a rumbling sound coming from a very far distance, and as he quickly approached, in just a few breaths, it became clear to everyone.
Smell.
"What's going on?"
"What?"
Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from in surprise and uttered various exclamations.
"Don't worry, everyone, it's time for us to go to the next floor. Everyone, hold your breath and use your inner energy to protect your body." Li Xiaocheng smiled lightly and comforted mysteriously.
"Really?" Zhang Yunfeng asked with a surprised look.
"Of course it's true. Do you think I will seek death?" Li Xiaocheng replied with a chuckle.
Even though he said this, everyone was still secretly on guard, and would flee at any time if something was wrong.
Yu Guihai was also secretly prepared, ready to send out his inner energy to protect his body at any time. When necessary, he could also use Xuanyin spiritual energy at any time. There would be no problem in dealing with ordinary dangers.
And he was sure that as long as Li Xiaocheng wasn't afraid, there was no need for him to worry.
At this time, the loud rumbling sound was approaching quickly, and the ground beneath our feet and the surrounding caves began to shake violently, as if some ancient giant beast was rushing towards us.
Everyone's expressions became increasingly ugly, but when they saw the presence of Li Xiaocheng and the old god Mr. Fan, they did not immediately flee.
Suddenly, a loud noise rang from the ears, and a violent torrent that filled the entire river cave rushed out of the mist, slamming towards everyone with an overwhelming force.
"What?"
Everyone looked horrified, and they all used their inner energy to protect their bodies.
Immediately, he was struck and swallowed by the overwhelming torrent. The powerful impact could even break rocks. If he were an inner Qi warrior, he would probably suffer severe damage directly, or even die from this impact.
However, after all, everyone is a master of Tongmai realm or above, so this kind of impact does not pose a threat.
Of course, some embarrassment is inevitable
The moment Yu Guihai was hit by the current, he rolled out involuntarily. He quickly stabilized his body and used his eyes to look around.
It was difficult to see in the dark water, but everyone activated their inner energy and emitted colorful lights, which made it easy for him to see.
Among the crowd, Snake Sou and Zhang Yunfeng, like him, quickly stabilized their bodies and drifted with the flow easily. The five Tongmai realm masters were a little confused, struggling slightly in panic, but they quickly calmed down.
Li Xiaocheng is also a master in the late stage of the Aperture Realm. He has opened the Six Apertures and is very powerful.
Fan She also didn't have any panic. A layer of clear brilliance appeared outside her body, blocking the flow of water.
Everyone kept moving forward along with the rumbling water of the river. The underground river was twisting and turning, sometimes narrow, sometimes wide, rushing downwards all the way.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a roar, and torrent suddenly poured out of a hole and flew downwards.
Yu Guihai's body shook and he was thrown out of the torrent. Looking up, he saw a huge cave around him. Directly below him was a huge pool with a radius of tens of meters, and the underground river was gushing with rapids. It comes out and forms a waterfall falling into the pool.
