Chapter 367 Trapped in the Underground Palace
In the darkness, Liu Qinghuan opened his eyes suddenly, and was surprised to find that the scenery in front of him was quickly retreating, and he was being carried on someone's back!
If it is said that it is not the same as carrying him, it should be supported by spiritual power. Because he was a head taller than the other person, it was inconvenient to carry him on his back.
Liu Qinghuan moved slightly, and the people in front noticed it immediately, turned around in surprise, and whispered: "Fellow Daoist Liu, are you awake?"
The person who spoke was Mu Yinyin. She stopped and withdrew her spiritual power.
Liu Qinghuan stepped on her foot and landed on the ground. She looked in front of her and saw the poisonous lady. At this time, she stopped and looked at him with a half-smile.
"Friend Taoist Mu, where is this place? How can it be so dark?"
Mu Yinyin signaled him to be silent and lowered her voice: "This place is not safe yet, we have to leave quickly!"
Seeing that her face was quite nervous, Liu Qinghuan knew that this was not the time to ask, so he continued to fly quickly in the darkness behind her and the poisonous lady.
Only then did he notice that they had been running in the stone path, but the darkness was a little unusual. Since there is lava everywhere in this underground palace, there is always no shortage of light, and I have never encountered such complete darkness.
Looking at himself again, he saw that there were several burns that had scabbed over, and a lot of red tender flesh that seemed to have grown out newly, and the clothes on his body were scorched everywhere, as if they had been fished out of the fire.
Poison Lady took the lead, followed closely by Mu Yinyin. The two of them walked quietly and cautiously. Influenced by them, Liu Qinghuan unconsciously relaxed her actions.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, a blood-curdling scream was suddenly heard in the distance, echoing in the dark passage and not subsided for a long time.
The two female cultivators shook together, and their speed increased by two points. Finally, after twisting and turning, they came to a wall. The poisonous lady groped around on the wall, and then pressed lightly on the lower right corner. With a slight vibration, a stone door opened on the wall.
Soft light shone from the door, and the three of them got in. The poisonous lady quickly closed the stone door and placed a magic circle behind the door.
Liu Qinghuan was greatly shocked. In front of him was a small valley. Surrounded by mountains in the west, a waterfall flew down and gathered into a clear pool below. It was surrounded by green grassland with small wild flowers, near the mountain wall. There is another forest.
"Okay, it's safe now." Poison Lady said. She looked very tired and sat directly on the grass.
"Is this here?" Liu Qinghuan was greatly surprised. There is such a place in this underground palace!
Mu Yinyin pulled him to sit on the floor, and then began to tell what happened these days.
Ten days and nights have passed since he was taken away by Mr. He. That day, he fell directly into the lava river. If Mu Yinyin hadn't gone far, he would have been burned to ashes by the blue fire because he had no protection at the time.
On the other side, after the silver hand strangled Mr. He, the entire coffin shook violently, as if something inside was trying to break free.
Poison Lady and Chang Laoguai knew that things were going to be bad today, so they no longer wanted to tangle with the black dragon. Chang Laoguai slipped away very fast, and with a thunder escape, he broke away from the battle and went straight to the exit. But Poison Lady replaced herself with a witchcraft doll. When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, Mu Yinyin and his body just floated out of the river, and Poison Lady pulled them both up.
When Liu Qinghuan heard this, he glanced at Lady Poison. The other person raised his eyebrows and looked back, his whole body was full of exhaustion that could not be concealed. Judging from his pale face, he seemed to have been seriously injured: "Brother, are you very touched? I don't mind if you pledge yourself to me."< br>
Liu Qinghuan was speechless and asked: "What is in the coffin?"
"We had just entered the cave when we heard a loud noise. When we looked back, we saw that the coffin lid was broken into several pieces and flew in all directions, and a silver-gray man climbed up from inside."
"Silver gray?" Liu Qinghuan was confused.
Mu Yinyin said: "His hands and face seemed to be painted with some silver dye, and he was wearing a set of silver-gray armor, which was very similar to the puppet. Later we analyzed that he is most likely the owner of this place, and he may be nearing the end of his life." At that time, he used his superb puppetry skills to turn himself into a puppet. ”
Liu Qinghuan nodded thoughtfully: "Were you avoiding him before? He was chasing you?" "Well, that puppet is really powerful. You can tell from the fact that he strangled Mr. He to death with just one claw." Mu Yinyin He said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, when he came out, he didn't catch up immediately. Instead, he pounced on him and sucked the blood of the black dragon. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to escape from that underground place."
"Oh, then why didn't you escape to the underground palace?"
"Fleeing? You have to be able to escape." Poison Lady seemed to have finally regained her composure, and said with a bitter voice: "We ran all the way to the burial room, and then we heard people chasing after us. It turned out that the person named Chang turned out to be Put down the Dragon Breaking Stone and cut off our way of survival! I had the heart to eat him at that time. It's better not to let me catch that guy. I will turn him into a voodoo puppet as soon as possible! I can’t run fast, and I can’t hide.”
"Uh... thank you, senior, for saving your life." Liu Qinghuan paused and said with cupped hands.
The poisonous lady waved her hands like she was shooing away mosquitoes: "Thank you, I will have to pay you back in the future!"
He touched his nose awkwardly, and Mu Yinyin chuckled and said, "Sister Yang, please stop scaring him."
Liu Qinghuan's eyes widened, and her tone revealed a hint of intimacy. When did the relationship between the two become so good?
Mu Yinyin glanced at him: "You don't know how critical the situation was at that time. Your whole body was charred and black. I could only use my spiritual energy to protect you, and I couldn't use my hands at all. Even if I did, it was useless. Then The puppet was extremely powerful, and Sister Yang was seriously injured after just one move with him.”
"Oh, how did you escape?"
The poisonous lady said with a gloomy face: "At that time, the front road was cut off and the back road was blocked. I knew I couldn't fight, but there was nothing I could do. I simply found a stone room with the restrictions opened and hid in it to wait for death."
She burst out laughing: "Unexpectedly, the puppet passed by our door. He didn't look inside at all and just walked over. Then he didn't know how to control it, so he raised the Dragon Breaking Stone again and chased outside. ”
Liu Qinghuan was speechless, he managed to escape like this...
The poisonous lady said seriously: "Through the observation over the past few days, the puppet should have no spiritual consciousness. It mainly relies on its eyes and ears, and it should have no sense of smell."
Later, the two of them took the unconscious Liu Qinghuan and hid in that stone room for a long time. They didn't sneak out again until there was no movement outside for a long time. Pass through the pit outside and enter the dark passage above the stone steps.
But as soon as they entered, they discovered that the hall with the huge lava pool and half-ruined statues was gone, and all the trap-laden houses they passed before were gone, leaving them with a maze-like dark passage. And this strange valley was accidentally discovered when they were avoiding the silver puppet.
They have been wandering around here for ten days. On the one hand, they have to avoid being chased by the puppets and on the other hand, they have to find a way out. It is extremely dangerous.
The poisonous lady shook her head helplessly and said: "This girl has to take you with her every time she explores the road, really!"
Mu Yinyin turned her head to the side and argued shyly: "The roads in the maze are complicated. If we leave him here, we will be in trouble if we can't find the way back."
Liu Qinghuan was shocked in her heart, and after a long time she said: "Fellow Taoist Mu, thank you..."
"Hey, is now a good time to fall in love?" The poisonous lady rolled her eyes: "I can't stand you little children who are so sticky!"
Liu Qinghuan and Mu Yinyin were both made blushing by her.
The poisonous lady laughed for a long time, and then said: "Didn't I set up a magic circle at the door before? It was not to prevent puppets, but to prevent other monks."
She smiled sarcastically: "In this underground palace, there are not only the dozen or so people there when we entered that day, but a large number of monks nearby have already arrived. Unfortunately, those people did not know that they had stepped into a death trap. It’s hard to get out!”
