Chapter 66 Demonic Techniques
The Blackwater Black Snake is a legendary terrifying creature that lives in a dark place. Its power is enough to shake mountains and rivers. Facing such a behemoth, Zhang Yuan and Lu Xueqi's expressions became extremely solemn. However, at this critical moment, Zhang Yuan had a plan in mind. He whispered to Lu Xueqi: "Senior Sister Lu, we may be able to delay You Ji and Baguio by using this black water snake."
< br>When Lu Xueqi heard this, although she felt uneasy, she also understood that this was the only hope at the moment. The two quickly reached an agreement and began to retreat slowly, trying to lure the black water snake deeper into the cave. Sure enough, the black water black snake seemed to be attracted by their aura, or felt the strange energy emanating from the fire stick, and began to slowly follow it. The huge body seemed extremely crowded in the narrow cave, but this was also Make it move slowly.
At the same time, Baguio and Youji's voices became clearer outside the cave, and they obviously noticed something unusual inside the cave. You Ji snorted coldly: "It seems that there are really extraordinary things in this cave. We have to be more careful."
Baguio looked nervous. She was worried about the safety of Zhang Yuan and Lu Xueqi. But he had to follow You Ji deeper.
The moment You Ji and Baguio stepped into the cave, Zhang Yuan and Lu Xueqi had successfully led the Blackwater Black Snake to the deepest part of the cave.
Suddenly, Zhang Yuan shouted: "Run!" The two men suddenly rose up. Using their familiarity with the terrain, they quickly found a hidden exit, which was a crack leading to another unknown space. , they jumped in without hesitation.
As soon as You Ji and Baguio stepped into the cave, they encountered a fierce attack from the black water snake. The huge body swept towards me. Although Youji was powerful, she couldn't use it in this cave and could only barely dodge. Baguio was even more in danger, and was almost hit by the tail of the black water snake several times. While fighting, the two looked for traces of Zhang Yuan and Lu Xueqi, but found that they had disappeared without a trace.
“This is???”
“What?”
"Black Water Black Snake???"
"Why is this beast still alive?"
Youji's face changed drastically and she spoke quickly to Baguio. The Black Water Black Snake is an ancient monster. It was said to have been killed, but it doesn't know why it appears here again.
Before You Ji finished speaking, the Black Water Black Snake let out a deafening roar again. Its sound echoed in the cave like thunder, causing the gravel on the stone wall to fall. Those eyes as deep as the abyss shone with light, as if they could see into the souls of all living things. Its scales reflected a cold light in the dark cave, and every breath was accompanied by a thick fishy smell that made people sick.
Baguio clutched the sad flower in her hand, her face pale. She had never seen such a terrifying creature. While avoiding the Black Water Black Snake's attack, she anxiously searched for any clues Zhang Yuan and Lu Xueqi might have left. However, there was no other sound in the cave except the echoing roar and the sound of his own heartbeat.
Yuji appeared calmer, and she quickly analyzed the situation. She knew very well that it was definitely not a wise move to confront the Blackwater Black Snake head-on in this narrow cave.
Using her superb body skills and profound cultivation, she cleverly guided the attention of the black water black snake, trying to lead it to the other side of the cave, and strive for escape for herself and Baguio. Chance.
The Black Water Black Snake seemed to have seen through You Ji's intention. It suddenly changed the direction of its attack, and its huge body pressed against You Ji like a mountain. Youji couldn't dodge, and was knocked backwards by the powerful force, hitting the cave wall, with a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.
When Baguio saw this, she was shocked. She rushed to Youji without hesitation and helped her up. The two stood back to back, facing another attack from the Black Water Black Snake.
At this time, they have no way to retreat and can only fight with all their strength.
At this moment, a strange fluctuation suddenly came from the depths of the cave, and then, a dazzling light shot out from the crack, illuminating the entire cave. That light contained an ancient and mysterious power, causing the Blackwater Black Snake's movements to stagnate instantly.
"Young Sect Master, hurry! Seize the opportunity and run into the cave."
"I'll stop the black water black snake outside." Youji said desperately to Baguio, she grabbed We must seize the opportunity to save Baguio.
This feeling of putting life and death at risk.
Baguio's eyes instantly became moist, and she bit her lower lip tightly to prevent her tears from falling. Youji's words were like a heavy hammer hitting her heart, and every word was filled with determination and sacrifice. She looked at Youji's face that was slightly tired from the battle but still determined, and complex emotions surged in her heart - gratitude, guilt, and deep reluctance.
"No, Aunt You, I can't..." Baguio choked with sobs, wanting to refuse the life she had gained in exchange for her life. But there was no doubt in Youji's eyes. She pushed Baguio hard, and her voice contained a force that could not be refuted: "Go! This is an order!"
Baguio's body was shaken by this force Pushing, stumbling a few steps, almost falling. But he knew that hesitation at this moment would only make their efforts in vain. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down her emotions, her eyes shining with determination. She turned around and ran towards the radiant crack, each step seeming to trample on her heart.
Behind her, You Ji has launched an all-out offensive, trying to use all her strength to hold down the Blackwater Black Snake and buy Baguio more time to escape. The black water black snake was affected by the sudden light. Although its movements were delayed, its anger and instinct drove it to fight back hard. The sound of fierce fighting echoed in the cave, and every collision shook Baguio's heartstrings.
Baguio looked back while running, tears finally couldn't help but fall, blurring his vision. She saw that Youji's figure looked extremely small under the huge shadow of the black water black snake, but she was extremely tough. The figure wielding the sword again and again was like a tragic picture, deeply imprinted in her heart.
"Aunt You, I will definitely come back to save you!" Baguio swore silently in her heart. Although her voice was soft, she carried unshakable belief. Then she seized the opportunity and rushed towards the crack. go.
When the black water black snake saw one of its prey escaping, it let out an angry roar and used great strength. The snake's tail slapped on the wall, knocking off the rubble on it and completely sealing the entrance of the cave.
I don’t know.
The direction in which Baguio ran away was exactly the direction in which Zhang Yuan and Lu Xueqi ran away, running deeper and deeper into the Abyss of Death. It was a true place of death, a Jedi with no other exit.
On the other side, Zhang Yuan's heart felt cold when he saw the Jedi in front of him. The only exit is guarded by the Black Water Black Snake, so they can't get out at all!
Lu Xueqi fainted due to the injury.
Zhang Yuan fell into deep thought.
Maybe this is not necessarily a good thing.
In the original work, Baguio will also escape later.
Just in time to save Baguio.
If I save Baguio, Baguio will definitely gain favor.
Then I can take advantage of it. ...
Zhang Yuan looked at the seemingly lifeless depths of the Dead Soul Abyss in front of him, but a strange hope surged in his heart for no reason. He knew very well that according to the plot development of the original work, Baguio would accidentally enter this place soon after avoiding the black water snake. This seemingly hopeless place may be the turning point for him to change his destiny and win Baguio's favor.
He carefully helped Lu Xueqi up, trying not to cause her more harm.
Lu Xueqi's face was pale and her breathing was weak. It was obvious that she was seriously injured. Zhang Yuan was secretly anxious, but he also understood that the most important thing at the moment was to find a safe hiding place and wait for Baguio's arrival.
He looked around and found a hidden cave. The entrance was covered by vines, making it difficult to detect. He quickly placed Lu Xueqi in the cave and simply treated her wounds with the herbs he brought with him. Although these herbs could not cure her injuries, they could at least temporarily relieve her pain.
After arranging for Lu Xueqi, Zhang Yuan walked out of the cave, hid behind a nearby rock, and quietly waited for Baguio's arrival. He was nervous and looking forward to it. He didn't know when Baguio would appear, let alone how she would react when he appeared in front of her.
Time passed minute by minute, and the sound of wind and water outside the cave, as well as the roar of the black water snake in the distance, intertwined to form a strange piece of music. Zhang Yuan's heart also fluctuated. He kept reminding himself to stay calm and be prepared to deal with all possibilities.
Finally, after a long wait, he heard footsteps in the distance. The sound became clearer and clearer from far to near. Zhang Yuan's heartbeat also accelerated. He clenched the sword in his hand, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.
When Baguio's figure appeared in sight, Zhang Yuan could hardly believe his eyes. Her clothes were ragged, her hair was messy, and her face was full of exhaustion and fear. But even so, her bright eyes still shone with unyielding light.
Zhang Yuan's heart moved and he rushed out without hesitation. He ran to Baguio, grabbed her, and quickly took her into the cave he had discovered before.
Baguio was obviously shocked by the sudden turn of events, but when she saw it was Zhang Yuan, she felt a little scared and breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, meeting Zhang Yuan was much better than meeting the Black Water Black Snake. The Black Water Black Snake is much scarier than Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan pulled Baguio into the cave and quickly blocked the entrance with his body, just in case. Baguio, who had been running away for a long time and suffered serious injuries before, was at the end of her strength. When Zhang Yuan pulled her, she lost her support and fell softly into his arms.
"Baguio, hold on, I'm coming." Zhang Yuan's voice contained a subtle tremor. He quickly laid Baguio flat on the ground, and then carefully checked her injuries.
Baguio's clothes were stained red with blood, and blood was still oozing from the wound. Zhang Yuan's heart tightened, and he immediately took out the remaining herbs from his arms and began to treat Baguio's wounds. His movements were gentle and skillful, fearing to bring extra pain to Baguio.
Time passed by minute by minute, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on Zhang Yuan's forehead. He finally bandaged Baguio's wound, but Baguio's face was still as pale as paper and her breathing was very weak.
"Baguio, you must hold on, I can't let anything happen to you." Zhang Yuan prayed silently in his heart. He gently held Baguio's hand, hoping to pass on some of his warmth to her. strength. Although Baguio only suffered superficial injuries, he still couldn't help but feel nervous.
After an unknown amount of time, Baguio's eyelids trembled slightly. She slowly opened her eyes. The scene in front of her was a little blurry, but gradually became clearer. She saw Zhang Yuan's worried face, and felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
"I...where am I?" Baguio's voice was weak and hoarse.
"Are you awake?" Zhang Yuan showed a happy smile on his face. "This is a hidden cave deep in the Necromantic Abyss. You are safe for the time being."
Baguio nodded slightly. She tried to recall what happened before, but her mind was in chaos. "Aunt You... How is Aunt You?"
Baguio suddenly thought of You Ji, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.
Zhang Yuan's expression became solemn, and he sighed softly, "Senior Youji fought against the Blackwater Black Snake alone to save you. I...I don't know how she is doing now."
Hearing this, Baguio’s eyes instantly became moist. She bit her lower lip tightly to prevent her tears from falling. "Aunt You...it's all my fault, I've caused you trouble."
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan quickly comforted: "Baguio, it's not your fault. Senior Youji voluntarily sacrificed for you, She wants you to survive.”
Baguio was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Zhang Yuan, "Thank you... thank you for saving me."
Zhang Yuan smiled slightly, "Baguio, you don't have to be so polite to me. I... ...I just did what I should do."
Baguio shook his head gently, "No, you not only saved me, but you also stayed by my side to protect me. Love, Baguio will never forget it."
A warm current surged in Zhang Yuan's heart. He did not expect that Baguio would be so grateful to him: "You don't have to forget it forever, let's go out first."
As he spoke, Zhang Yuan stretched out his finger and pointed at the entrance of the cave in front, only to see that the entrance to the cave in front was sealed tightly by huge rocks, not even a ray of light could penetrate. This kind of boulder is not an ordinary boulder, but the hardest and most solid boulder in the world of immortality. Its name is changed to gold crystal. Many weapon masters use this kind of gold crystal to make weapons. This kind of weapon is so powerful that even if it is placed in a high-temperature furnace, it will take 77 to 49 days before it can melt. For ordinary monks, it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven if they wanted to break such a huge boulder and escape.
"What is going on??"
Baguio followed Zhang Yuan's gaze and looked at the sealed cave entrance in front of her, her heart filled with despair.
“The Blackwater Black Snake was very angry after you escaped just now, but it could not enter the narrow entrance, so it used its huge snake tail to slap the boulder next to the hole. Blocking all the boulders at the entrance At the entrance."
"In other words, we are trapped here."
Zhang Yuan said calmly.
Although he hasn't found a good way to escape yet, at least his body is still calm. Because he knows that panic can't solve any problem.
