All the core disciples jumped off the dragon boat one after another, frowning and looking around the valley. There was no sign of any spiritual energy here, and the yin energy was quite heavy.
Didn't it say that the spiritual pool is in an abandoned spiritual stone mine? Even if it is abandoned, you should still be able to feel some spiritual energy... Many disciples thought to themselves, feeling quite confused.
Lei Fengxing was the last one to jump off the dragon boat. He used his spiritual skills to make the dragon boat smaller, put it into the storage bag on his waist, and then said calmly: "Let's go."
After he finished speaking, he ignored everyone and strode towards the front of the valley.
The disciples were full of suspicion and did not dare to ask, so they had no choice but to follow him.
Although this valley is cold and cold, all the core children of the Lei family are here. There are more than twenty people, and they are all young people. There are many people and a lot of energy. Therefore, after walking for a while, although I still feel chilly, I don’t feel it at all.
How eerie.
After a while, everyone reached the end of the valley. In front of them was an extremely steep mountain. Under the root of the mountain was a huge cave that was tens of meters wide and high.
This cave is unfathomably deep, and you can't see the end from the outside. There is a deep and cold atmosphere coming from inside.
Lei Fengxing did not hesitate and led everyone into the cave.
As soon as they entered the cave, the light dimmed, and the coldness suddenly became stronger. Several core disciples who were only in the middle stage of spiritual cultivation shivered involuntarily.
As we moved deeper into the cave, the light became dimmer and the cold atmosphere became heavier. Many disciples even began to use spiritual power to warm up.
"Master Lei, is this where the spiritual pool is? Why can't I feel any spiritual energy?" A core disciple couldn't help but ask.
Lei Fengxing didn't look back and said calmly: "If you think it's not the case, you can go back by yourself."
The core disciple was hit by a nail and his face turned red immediately.
Seemingly feeling that his attitude was a bit blunt, Lei Fengxing stopped and explained: "The spiritual pool is right in front, but if you want to get there, you have to pass through this cave. Because the spiritual energy here is barren and the yin energy condenses all year round, so
It will feel very cold, and there may even be some low-level Yin spirits or Yin spirit beasts coming and going, but these Yin creatures only threaten mortals and have little effect on us, so don’t worry.”
Hearing his explanation, all the core disciples were relieved. Think about it, compared to the huge opportunity of the spiritual pool, this cold aura is nothing.
Thinking of this, everyone's spirits couldn't help but become excited again.
Xu You frowned slightly, he felt that Lei Fengxing's words were a bit understated. The evil spirit here is so strong, the threat should not be just this little.
Moreover, after entering the cave, Xu You felt as if he was being spied on, as if something terrible was watching them secretly.
He didn't speak, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart, releasing his spiritual consciousness and scanning the front and surrounding areas at any time.
The other core disciples also released their spiritual consciousness one after another, because the light in the cave was getting darker and darker, and nothing could be seen clearly with the naked eye.
No one noticed that not far behind them, a ghostly shadow appeared silently, watching them go away.
Then, like a wisp of smoke, this ghostly shadow disappeared into the cold stone wall of the cave, leaving behind a ferocious and terrifying face before slowly disappearing.
After a while, everyone had walked seven or eight miles away, but the cave seemed endless and they didn't know where it ended.
The terrain of the cave continues downward. After walking for so long, it is estimated that we have entered at least a few hundred meters underground.
Moreover, the road in the cave is very winding, and there are many forks and other caves inside. They are either dark and unfathomable, or eerie and filled with cold gray mist. It is very frightening to see them.
Fortunately, Lei Fengxing seems to know which way to go, and he does not hesitate every time he encounters a choice. The disciples don't have to worry, they just need to follow Hall Master Lei closely.
"Ah!" Suddenly, a young female disciple suddenly screamed, which was particularly harsh in the silent cave.
Everyone was immediately startled, thinking they were facing a threat, and they all unleashed their spiritual power and put on a vigilant posture.
"What happened?" Lei Fengxing's expression changed and he strode over.
The young female brother's face was pale, and she pointed to the cold and moist cave stone wall and said: "I just saw a ghostly shadow passing in front of me, and then it...it went inside, and revealed a very scary shadow.
His expression scared me to death."
Her tone was panicked, and it was obvious that she had been frightened just now.
Everyone looked at the stone wall and saw that it was cold and damp, secreting countless dew-like water droplets. It looked normal and there was no ghostly shadow. They all couldn't help but look at her in confusion.
Seeing this, the young female brother knew that no one believed her, so she couldn't help but feel anxious and angry: "I really saw it, I didn't lie to you!"
Lei Fengxing looked at it for a while, but didn't see anything unusual. He frowned and said, "Maybe you're blinded. You have to stay calm here, otherwise the yin energy will enter the body and it's easy to have hallucinations."
"I'm not hallucinating..." The young female brother was about to defend, but Lei Fengxing had already returned to the front of the team and walked forward again.
When the other disciples saw Lei Fengxing saying the same thing, they all looked at her angrily and hurriedly followed her.
The young female brother patted his head in frustration, a little doubting whether he had been dazzled just now.
Among all the disciples, only Xu You's expression changed slightly.
His spiritual consciousness is so powerful that the disciples can only see outside the stone wall, but his spiritual consciousness can penetrate into the stone wall.
After only a few feet of penetration, Xu You discovered the ghostly shadow. It was like a terrifying creature made of mist. It was extremely ferocious and made people feel chilled by its appearance.
Moreover, this ghostly shadow can move freely within the stone wall without any restraint.
As if aware that he had been discovered, the ghostly shadow quickly retreated, and at the same time showed an extremely terrifying expression to Xu You, as if it wanted to bite people.
Xu You walked forward with the others. There was nothing strange on the surface, but his spiritual sense continued to follow the ghostly shadow and continued to probe deeper into the stone wall.
He could vaguely guess that this ghostly shadow was probably the Yin spirit that Lei Fengxing mentioned.
There are many types of Yin spirits. The most common ones are ghosts after death. However, as long as the cultivation level has not reached the soul level, once the body dies, the soul will quickly dissipate between heaven and earth.
However, if you are in a place with extremely heavy Yin Qi, the Yin spirit will be nourished, and instead of dissipating, it will grow stronger.
"I don't know whether this Yin spirit is naturally produced by Yin energy or is transformed by the souls of others after death, but no matter which one it is, it means that this cave is very strange."
"What's more important is that even if Lei Fengxing's spiritual consciousness is not as powerful as mine, he is still in the middle stage of the spiritual body after all. He can clearly see the Yin spirit through the stone wall, but why didn't he say anything and instead said that the female brother was a deceitful person?
Already?"
"Could it be that he wants everyone to feel at ease, but as long as he continues to move forward, he will definitely encounter Yin Ling. How long can he feel at ease?"
"And this Yin spirit is really just a low-level creature and poses no threat to us?"
Xu You thought as he walked, and the uneasy feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. He also had doubts about Lei Fengxing, feeling that he could not be fully trusted.
At this time, his spiritual consciousness had followed the Yin spirit more than ten meters deep into the stone wall. But the deeper he went, Xu Youyou felt a biting cold feeling, as if there was a piece of ten thousand-year-old ice sticking out of the stone wall. Even with his
Even my spiritual consciousness cannot bear it.
Moreover, the Yin spirit was extremely fast and disappeared without warning, while Xu You's spiritual consciousness extended very slowly in the stone wall. In desperation, he had to pull his spiritual consciousness back to avoid being frostbitten by the cold.
At this time, the vigilance of all the disciples also increased a lot, and their spiritual consciousness scanned back and forth.
Although they didn't look at the ghostly shadow that the female brother mentioned, they were all core disciples after all, and they were well-informed, so they didn't know that there must be something strange in this cave.
However, everyone felt relieved when they remembered that Lei Fengxing said that there were at most some low-level Yin spirits or Yin spirit beasts.
After walking for a while, the sound of rushing water suddenly came from ahead.
Everyone was refreshed. There was silence in the cave. When walking, they could only hear their own footsteps, which was a bit quiet. Suddenly hearing running water, it was like returning to nature.
At that moment, several disciples quickened their pace and ran towards the direction of the flowing water.
Lei Fengxing frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
Soon, the space in front became more and more open, and as the ground became softer, an open river five or six meters wide appeared in front of everyone.
This small river meanders, flows out of a huge cave, passes in front of everyone, and then submerges into another huge cave.
Although it is still cold and cold, the water vapor blows against my face, and it still has a moist and refreshing taste.
One of the disciples who was the first to run to the river looked at the water and said with a smile: "The water is really clear, but it's too cold. It seems like..."
Before he could finish his sentence, suddenly, a black and ferocious shadow jumped out of the river and rushed into his arms.
The boy shouted, and with a pop, he fell into the river involuntarily and sank to the bottom instantly.
The other disciples were shocked and rushed over, but in the blink of an eye, the river had calmed down and the disciple disappeared.
Everyone was shocked and angry at the same time. The underground river was so clear that it was only a few meters deep at most. How could the young man disappear just after he sank down?
"Get out of the way!" Lei Fengxing shouted, raised his hand and fired an extremely blazing fireball, with a roar, hitting the water where the disciple disappeared.
Everyone hurriedly ran away.
The water surface instantly stirred up huge waves that were more than ten meters high. The fireball penetrated deep into the water, and then turned into several balls of flame and exploded.
After a while, the boy floated up from the river.
His whole body was stiff and he still maintained his struggling posture, but his face was pale, his eyes were empty, and there was no life left.
