People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 354: Heaven Collapse and Strange Scenery

In the process of returning to the surface from the bottom of the water, Chen Ziyan and others also discovered that the water level of the pool had increased by no means a little bit.

However, thanks to the many cracks and caves of various shapes on the valley wall, the water level rose, but it was not as serious as they expected.

After roughly understanding the situation, Chen Ziyan knew that he could not delay any longer, so he led a few people ashore from a plank road close to the water on the rock wall.

Although they have left the gloomy Xuan Gong Underworld Palace, the few people standing on the plank road have no feeling of seeing the sky again, because now not only is the heavy rain pouring down in the valley, creating a series of rain curtains that make it difficult to see anything,

What's more, the sky above was heavily covered with dark clouds. If it hadn't been for the weak light source in their hands, they would have experienced firsthand what it meant to be blind.

If you take into account the rumbling water waves of the surrounding waterfalls, it is even more depressing than the Hades Palace buried deep underground. At least there will be no feeling of stagnation of breath down there.

"It's raining on the plank road now. Everyone should be careful on the next road." After Chen Ziyan reminded him, he took the lead and started to go up along the plank road at his feet.

Although this cliff is not difficult to cross, it is definitely steep and dangerous, especially when there are no safety measures, and a slight mistake may cost a life.

Hu Bayi, who was following him, glanced at the gradually rising water level and couldn't help but ask: "Master Chen, should we go directly back to Lingyun Palace and do some repairs there and enter the Worm Valley, or should we go directly back to the Hulu Cave and start from there?"

Then go back to Worm Valley?"

This represents two ways for them to return. If they go back to Hulu Cave through the incoming route, then they may have to wait until they get out of the underground to solve the corpse cave. This will not only consume time, but also the corpse cave.

After being fed by the things in the gourd cave, no one knows how far it will grow.

And if they go directly to Minglou, then they can wait for the weather to clear tomorrow and then deal with the corpse cave chasing behind them. Although this is risky, Hu Bayi feels more confident.

Of course, if you don't want to pursue him persistently in the corpse cave, then walking through the gourd cave is an excellent choice. The complicated space inside makes it easy to get rid of the pursuer.

"Let's go straight back to Worm Valley through Hulu Cave. We can just use the power of this Corpse Cave to clean up the mess in there." Chen Ziyan said in a calm voice after hearing this.

He must lead the corpse cave into the Calabash Cave, otherwise how will he get the reward of Huo's Undead Insect? And more importantly, they need to lead the corpse cave to the mouth of the valley and use the Feng Shui terrain there to eliminate it and leave.

A familiar road is definitely more suitable than an unfamiliar road.

Who knows what kind of trouble you will encounter when you lead from above to the entrance of the valley!

"Mr. Chen, is that thing really the legendary corpse cave?" Upon hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Hu Bayi's spirit perked up and he asked quickly.

Although he also judged that it was a corpse cave, after it was actually confirmed, he still found it a bit incredible.

The theory of the corpse cave is too vague to say, and it is said that there are extremely strict conditions for it to appear. This is why he can't believe his own judgment.

In fact, this question has been in his mind for a while, but he has been busy running away, so he didn't ask it until now.

"Yes, it's a corpse cave." Chen Ziyan nodded slightly and gave an affirmative answer.

If he hadn't already been familiar with the plot, he probably wouldn't have believed it so easily, so he understood Hu Bayi and the others' current mentality.

At this time, Shirley Yang suddenly raised a question: "But even if it's a corpse cave, they won't chase us and won't let them go, right?"

It stands to reason that after they come out of the water, after being washed like this, any smell on their bodies will be washed away.

What's more, although she has never seen a corpse cave, a special evil between life and death, it doesn't mean that no one in her family has seen it. Her grandfather Qiu Xiu had encountered one in France, so he had no idea about the corpse cave.

The hole is not completely unknown.

According to Partridge Whistle's post-incident records, strictly speaking, this corpse cave is a unique 'gap', a space between life and death, positive and negative, black and white, with countless corpses inside.

, once captured by the corpse cave, it will become a part of the corpse cave.

However, even though the Corpse Cave welcomes all comers, it is passive in most cases, which means it does not actively hunt. Therefore, Shirley Yang found it difficult to guide the Corpse Cave into the Calabash Cave.

Faced with her doubts, Chen Ziyan raised the corpse of King Xian in his hand: "Don't worry, as long as King Xian is in our hands, the corpse cave will keep chasing us."

Although he didn't know what was going on between King Xian's corpse and the corpse cave, there was no doubt that there was some unique connection between the two.

Maybe this corpse cave was created by King Xian as his personal bodyguard.

Therefore, Chen Ziyan was very sure that as long as the corpse cave was not destroyed, he would always be chasing after them.

"Is this why you brought King Xian's body?" A flash of surprise flashed in Shirley Yang's eyes.

"That's not true." Chen Ziyan shook his head slightly: "To attract the corpse cave, only the head of the king is enough. The reason why I brought this corpse is that I think if the corpse cave absorbs the corpse, the thing will

Becoming much stronger.”

Chen Ziyan expressed his guess about the body of King Xian.

But he didn't have any exact reason, it was just an answer he came up with based on his intuition.

If he wanted to try, he could only feed the corpse in his hand to the corpse cave, but that would probably enhance the corpse cave as he thought, making it more difficult for them to escape.

"It's not impossible. If the corpse cave really keeps chasing the body of King Xian, it means that there must be something in the corpse or the corpse itself that attracts it." Shirley Yang thought for a while and said.

.

She felt that there was nothing wrong with Chen Ziyan's idea, which just explained why Corpse Cave was pursuing him so hard.

"After we enter the Hulu Cave, we will give this corpse to the Corpse Cave. The road there is familiar, and it can handle it even if it is strengthened." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and spoke out his plan.

This was actually what he had thought of in the underground palace. Firstly, he wanted to see if his guess was correct, and secondly, he was afraid that the current corpse cave would not be able to deal with the Huo's Undead Insect.

Chen Ziyan actually doubted whether this corpse cave was created intentionally by the old guy Xian Wang in order to prepare an escape route for himself. His corpse was the core of the corpse cave.

If this is the case, it means that after the Corpse Cave swallows the Muchen Bead, it will most likely turn into something else, something that does not have as obvious weaknesses as the Corpse Cave.

However, this possibility can only be a guess, because it is impossible for Chen Ziyan to experiment with Muchen Beads.

The others can naturally understand what Chen Ziyan wants to express in his words. After thinking about the situation when he came here before, they have no opinion on it.

They know the situation inside Hulu Cave well enough, and even if the Corpse Cave really becomes stronger, the first ones to bear the brunt will not be outsiders like them, but the aborigines in Hulu Cave, who have plenty of time to escape.

If this is the case, then Chen Ziyan wants to do a small experiment, and they have no reason to refuse.

Hu Bayi even felt that if the corpse cave swallowed up all the female corpses in the Hulu Cave, it might be a good thing for the locals.

After all, no one knows whether the countless female corpses there will one day leave the mountain along the water flow and go to areas where humans live.

Not to mention the ferocious babies conceived in the corpses, the germs carried by the corpses alone are enough to contaminate clean water sources.

"Have you felt it? It seems like the wind is blowing at the bottom of the valley?" At this moment, Ding Sitian suddenly said this.

The wind is blowing at the bottom?

This is a somewhat contradictory word.

They all knew that the bottom of the valley was a pool, not land, and it was raining heavily. How could the wind rise from the bottom of the valley?

But the look on Ding Sitian's face told them that she didn't mean to be joking, so everyone had to pay attention.

You must know that the terrain here is doomed. There can be showers but not strong winds. If things go out of the ordinary at this moment, there must be monsters.

Immediately, the group stopped and followed Ding Sitian's instructions, each stretching out their hands to feel it.

After they got used to the feeling of falling raindrops, they soon experienced the feeling of wind that Ding Sitian mentioned. Even though the heavy rain formed a dense curtain of water in the valley at this moment, everyone could still clearly feel the strong and powerful wisps.

The air current is rising from the valley floor below.

After feeling this kind of air flow, Chen Ziyan quickly figured out what was going on. His face changed when he said it, and he said to the others:

"We can't continue walking, let's find a place to take shelter first!"

After that, he looked back and forth on the nearby rock wall, and soon found a rock crevice that could accommodate everyone present, and hid inside with a few people.

"Master Chen, do you know what's going on?" Hu Bayi asked Chen Ziyan after entering the crevice.

From Chen Ziyan's performance just now, he could probably guess something.

Chen Ziyan was secretly rejoicing at this moment. If it weren't for Ding Sitian's reminder, he almost forgot about the airflow.

After hearing Hu Bayi's question, he replied: "The earth's energy is about to explode!"

Earth energy explodes!

Hearing the answer given by Chen Ziyan, Hu Bayi's heart suddenly shivered.

It's not like he hasn't imagined what's going on, but he really hasn't thought about it.

Now that I think about it, I realize that things are really like what Chen Ziyan said. This deep valley and secluded pool can generate wind out of thin air during heavy rains. This can only be done by the explosion of stagnant earth energy.

Not long after they entered the crevice, they heard the howling wind outside getting louder and louder, like thousands of cavalry charging, suppressing the sound of falling rain.

Fortunately, Chen Ziyan and the others hid in the crevices in advance, otherwise they would have been caught in the middle and suffered. Even if they were not careful, they would have been involved. By then, all their injuries would only be considered minor injuries.

But even so, they could not completely avoid the influence of this turmoil. Although the violent storm could not enter this small rock crevice, the noisy and harsh sounds were not affected, and because of the uniqueness of the rock crevice,

Structure, these sounds seemed to have been strengthened. Everyone was hit by these messy sounds, and they felt that their eardrums were about to be burst, and their brains went blank.

I don’t know exactly how long it took, but the calm outside finally returned, which also allowed everyone who was in a daze to regain their composure.

The demonic sound that filled their ears just now made them almost forget who they were!

After they calmed down a little, the group of people left the crevice to see what was going on outside. When Chen Ziyan saw clearly what was going on outside, he knew that the matter had just come to an end and was not completely over.

I saw that in the center of the deep valley, the air currents that were raging throughout the circular valley had gathered together and turned into a waterspout that shot straight into the sky, tearing open a gap in the thick clouds in the sky.

Seeing the blood-red cracks in the dark sky, Chen Ziyan's heart moved and he subconsciously lowered his head to look at the pool below.

King Xian's arrangement was one ring after another. He didn't think that there would be no corresponding things below the appearance of this strange appearance.

It turned out that his guess was correct. After searching for a while, Chen Ziyan saw traces of the corpse cave on the rock wall at the edge of the pool.

At this moment, the shape of the corpse cave has changed. It is much smaller overall. It looks like a box made of dark flesh and blood, crawling slowly and rhythmically on the rock wall.

Compared with the previous snarling appearance, the corpse cave is undoubtedly much more restrained now, but it also feels a bit more dangerous to Chen Ziyan.

It is estimated that this thing swallowed something on the way out, causing it to undergo unknown changes.

When Chen Ziyan saw the corpse cave, Wang Kaixuan looked up at the sky and asked dumbfounded: "Isn't this the collapse of the sky depicted in the mural?"

He thought that the so-called collapse of the sky was just King Xian's imagination, but he didn't expect to actually see it!

Although the others were not as exaggerated as him, they all looked shocked. They did not expect that such a catastrophic scene would actually appear before their eyes.

When Chen Ziyan looked back, he saw everyone around him looking blankly at the sky, and he urged: "Don't worry about the things in the sky for now. We should leave now. If we continue to look here, we will be buried in the corpse hole."

Got kicked out."

When others heard what he said, they were a little confused at first, but after seeing the dark things that were moving upwards, they immediately understood the current situation.

"Is that thing really catching up?" Wang Kaixuan didn't dare to look around, so he could only ask other people around him.

"We have indeed been chased out. Master Chen is right. If we don't leave, we will be caught up." Hu Ba nodded, then patted his shoulder: "Let's go, fat man, listen to Master Chen and leave first."

Let’s talk about that later.”

Although he didn't know much about corpse caves, just by looking at their external forms, he knew that these evil creatures would be very tenacious and would be difficult to eliminate if they couldn't attack their weaknesses.

And more importantly, the corpse cave below is climbing up in a straight line, while they are spiraling up the mountain wall. Although they are traveling much faster than the corpse cave, the time it takes to reach the same height is really not necessarily

How much less will it be.
