Chapter 28: Underground Cavern

As we went deeper, the light around us became dimmer and we could vaguely hear the hissing sounds of snakes and squeaking sounds of rats from deep in the cave.

The further we went, the more mixed the sounds became, and the more oppressive the air around us became.

Zhang Yun looked calm.

The two disciples behind him were a little nervous.

Especially Wu Xiaopang, whose legs were trembling, and he couldn't help but say, "Master, how about we retreat? This cave is so creepy..."

"As a cultivator, you can't be so timid!"

Zhang Yun said, and immediately took out a torch from his storage ring and lit it.

The flames illuminated the surroundings.

The gloomy feeling brought by the cave dissipated a lot, and Wu Xiaopang's panic also faded a lot.

"Follow closely!"

Zhang Yun said, and began to speed up his pace.

Xu Ming and Wu Xiaopang hurried to catch up.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak--!!"

Just after taking a few steps forward, the cry that was originally only vaguely heard came from all around at a close distance.

Small holes the size of a palm suddenly appeared on the ground all around, and black spirit rats rushed out one after another, with red eyes and sharp teeth showing, rushing towards them.

"Kill!"

Zhang Yun spat out a word, stepped forward, and a circle of spiritual energy spread from the soles of his feet. Several black spirit rats approaching the surrounding exploded into blood mist on the spot.

Xu Ming and Wu Xiaopang also took out their weapons and started to kill.

These black spirit rats were only spirit beasts of the first and second levels of the Qi Refining Period. Although there were many of them, they were weak and there was no pressure to kill them.

After just two minutes, there were only corpses of black spirit rats left on the ground.

Zhang Yun glanced at the small holes. If he guessed correctly, there should be a black spirit rat nest under these small holes.

Black spirit rats are a relatively common low-level group-living spirit beast. They usually live in these wild caves. There are at least hundreds of them in one nest.

There are only thirty or forty of them in this wave, and there are probably many more below.

Zhang Yun is not very interested in this, and he is too lazy to collect the rat corpses on the ground.

Black spirit rats are the most worthless spirit beasts. The energy contained in their meat is negligible. In addition, the taste is extremely bad, and there is a smell that is difficult to get rid of. Generally, no one is willing to eat it.

Don't ask him why he knows, just ask that he has never eaten it!

"Let's go!"

Continue to go deeper immediately.

If these black spirit rats come out by themselves, he will kill them to increase his points. If they don't come out, forget it.

But after going deeper for a distance, Zhang Yun suddenly sensed something, and his face changed slightly.

At this moment, the ground of the entire cave shook like an earthquake.

Turned his head.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

The black spirit rats, which were so dense that they almost covered the entire cave passage behind them, were rushing towards them in groups.

"Master... Master, rats... rat tide!!"

Xu Ming and Wu Xiaopang's faces turned pale, and their voices trembled.

Zhang Yun didn't bother to say anything more to them. He grabbed them one by one with his left hand and one by his right hand, and ran forward at full speed with a flying sword under his feet.

Black spirit rats are not scary, and a normal group of hundreds of them is not scary, but if there are tens of thousands of rats, even the Yuanying stage has to avoid their sharp edge!

But after rushing forward for a short distance, Zhang Yun suddenly braked.

Because in front, at this moment, there was also a dense tide of black spirit rats coming towards them.

"Master, what should we do? We are surrounded!!"

Wu Xiaopang's face turned pale.

"Master knows!"

Zhang Yun said in a deep voice, his eyes swept around and locked on the ground under his feet.

He immediately made a fist with his right hand, and spiritual energy burst out from his fist, and he punched the ground with all his strength.

Since this cave can gather the tide of black spirit rats, it means that there are countless small tunnels dug underground. Generally, the foundation of such caves is relatively fragile and easy to destroy!

Bang!

The fact is just as he thought. The full force of the spiritual energy burst down and the whole cave was shaken.

Crack...

The ground under his feet was cracked with the naked eye.

"It's a good idea!"

Zhang Yun did not hesitate to see this, and he used all his strength and spiritual energy to punch the ground again.

The whole cave shook violently, and the whole ground under his feet burst open directly. At the same time, cracks spread to both sides. Large groups of black spirit rats had no foothold for a while and fell down along the cracks in the ground.

Zhang Yun took this opportunity to take his two apprentices to fly out of the cave.

Boom!

But at this moment, a dark hole several meters wide suddenly appeared under the cracked cave floor. The bottom of the hole was as dark as an abyss. Exposed to the air, it was as if some kind of restriction had been triggered, and a terrifying suction force suddenly surged out of the hole.

"Oops!"

Zhang Yun's face changed, and he tried his best to fly out.

But this suction force was beyond imagination, as if an invisible big hand stretched out and grabbed him.

He couldn't break free even if he tried his best.

After holding on for less than half a minute, Zhang Yun was sucked over as soon as his strength was slightly reduced. His two disciples were also sucked into the mouth of the dark abyss.

At the same time, many similar dark holes appeared on the ground in the area near the South Wind Forest.

People who were close to the surroundings did not have time to react, and were forcibly sucked down by the terrifying suction force of the hole.

…

Zhang Yun only felt dizzy.

When this feeling disappeared, he felt as if he was in mid-air, and his whole body was completely out of control and fell freely.

Plop! Plop! Plop!

Three consecutive sounds of falling into the water were heard.

When Zhang Yun opened his eyes and saw the surroundings clearly, he had fallen into a dimly lit lake.

At the same time, Xu Ming and Wu Xiaopang also fell. The latter two were already in a coma and were sinking into the lake.

He quickly swam over to bring the two up, and kicked out the spiritual energy under his feet to go up.

He poked his head out of the lake.

"What is this?"

The surrounding scene made him slightly startled.

At this moment, he seemed to have fallen into a lake at the bottom of a cliff. The lake was not big, and there was an uneven mountain wall behind him. In front of the lake, there was an underground square. The walls on both sides were inlaid with a few ordinary night pearls, which made the surroundings a little bright.

Looking straight to the front of the square, you can see a cave entrance. There is also a stone tablet next to the cave entrance, and the content cannot be seen clearly from a distance.

"Is it sucked directly into the depths of the ground?"

Looking up, it was pitch black and you couldn't see the height.

"It seems that some kind of restriction was triggered just now..."

Thinking of the black hole with terrifying suction power before, combined with the scene in front of him, Zhang Yun had a rough guess.

If he guessed correctly, this place might be an underground cave arranged by a powerful cultivator.

The black hole just now was the entrance.

There was no shadow of the black spirit rat around, which meant that this place should only suck humans and not spirit beasts.

"Is it the inheritance place left by the powerful?"

Zhang Yun guessed.

Generally, those who would set up such a place are mostly powerful monks who know they are about to die and do not want their inheritance to return to the earth, so they specially use this to seek people with predestined relationships to accept the inheritance. This kind of thing still happens from time to time in the Xiandao Continent.

Looking ahead, he was not sure, so he immediately swam to the edge of the square and put the two disciples on the ground. He gathered his spiritual energy in his hands and pressed the chests of the two disciples respectively.

Puff!

Puff!

A large mouthful of water spurted out of the mouths of the two disciples at the same time, and their eyelids lifted, and they all woke up slowly.

"Master..."

Seeing Zhang Yun, they were all slightly dazed, and soon realized something and opened their eyes wide, "We just now?"

Zhang Yun did not say much, and walked towards the stone tablet at the entrance of the cave.

'Coming here is a predestined relationship. Enter and you can get my inheritance! '

There is such a paragraph of words engraved on the stone tablet.

"Master, this is not the place of inheritance left by the ancient monks, right?"

Xu Ming and Wu Xiaopang also came up at this time, and they were curious when they saw the content on the stone tablet.

"Looking at the situation, it's probably true..."

Zhang Yun said, looking at the dark cave in front of him and said, "Let's go and explore it with me!"
