Purgatory

Chapter 23 Stone Room
Pang Jian's expression was dull, he didn't understand why this giant python, which was on the verge of death, suddenly went crazy.

The two sides clearly had no enmity or grudge, but the giant python put on a stance that he wanted to kill him before he died.

He secretly groaned in his heart, he no longer cared about the existence of that humanoid monster, so he had no choice but to keep retreating, preparing to retreat to a place where the snake bones could not reach.

Because the head of the boa constrictor is nailed by the phoenix bone, as long as the snake bone cannot extend to his position, he is safe.

After avoiding this wave of attacks, and when the phoenix bone has eaten up the head and flesh of the giant python, the giant python will be completely dead.

"Oh!"

A very soft muffled sound came from the other end of the phoenix bone when Pang Jian quickly retreated.

Pang Jian, who retreated dully, subconsciously took a look, and was surprised to find that the snake's winding bone body seemed to have encountered some obstacles at the bottom of the pool, and the speed towards him was obviously slowed down.

Soon, he saw a person hanging from the white snake bone swayed by the giant python.

Pang Jian was surprised.

The humanoid monster of unknown origin suffered an indiscriminate disaster because the giant python twisted the snake bone before it died. After being wrapped up by the skinless snake bone, it roared in the water.

The humanoid monster who was paying attention to the phoenix bone obviously didn't expect the dying giant python to make a fuss before it died.

He struggled up and hugged the skinless but still extremely thick snake bone, trying to break the snake bone apart.

The alien who had already lost his intelligence and had no humanity in his eyes thought it was an attack from the "Dark Boa" before he died.

He gathered the strength in his body to fight against the "Dark Anaconda" that didn't belong to this world, and kept slowing down the swing of the snake bone.

Pang Jian took the opportunity to escape to the area where the snake bones could not extend.

He secretly rejoiced that the monster saved him, otherwise he might not be able to escape in time, and he might be whipped to death or stabbed to death by the snake bone.

When he fled far away, he could still see the giant python with its eyes open, its pupils filled with endless hatred.

Pang Jian was baffled.

It was the first time he entered the black water pool, and the first time he encountered such a huge python. Why did the python have to make trouble with him before it died?
……

Night faded away.

The eternal drowsy day reappears in the world.

The dark ghosts who had been waiting for a night looked at the black water pool again after dawn, and were surprised to find that the thick black water seemed to have faded a lot from the original pitch black water.

The color of the pool water changes from pure black to gray black.

After looking carefully for a while, they saw that the originally calm water surface was rippling with circles of ripples, as if there was a huge movement coming from under the water.

"There's something underwater!"

No matter how dull a person is, he can guess that there must be living things under the water through the abnormal movement on the water surface.

Knowing the existence of the "Dark Anaconda", Hong Tai originally wanted to wait until dawn to see the situation before evacuating.

He suddenly hesitated at this moment, so he asked for everyone's opinions: "As long as the giant dark anaconda is still in the pool, we will all die if we go down. Moreover, it may also rush out of the black water pool and come ashore to hunt us all. "

"You also think about it, should we give up these prey, or take another look?"

He was asking for everyone's opinions, but his eyes only stayed on Jinyang's face.

"I want to see it again."

Unreconciled, Jin Yang was also alarmed by the abnormality of the pool water. He released the recovered "cicada wing swords" again, observed the changes in the pool from different angles, and said: "I always feel that the black color in the water is It's fading rapidly, and maybe it won't be long before we'll be able to see the underwater scene clearly."

"Well, the color of the pond water is indeed getting lighter."

Hong Tai gave an affirmative answer.

Through the boa constrictor that belonged to him, he knew that the highly corrosive poison in the pool water had weakened. Being familiar with the characteristics of boa constrictors, he guessed that the "Dark boa constrictor" should be gathering the released acidic and poisonous power.

"It's okay to wait, but everyone still has to be careful. Because when the water in the pool is clear and transparent, the giant dark anaconda may also swim out from the bottom of the pool." Hong Tai reminded everyone with a solemn expression.

Jin Yang nodded.

Beside the dark ghosts, Ning Yao, who was bound in the silver net, showed an expression of nothing more than death.

She barely sat up in the net, staring blankly at the gloomy sky, as if she had given up struggling.

Those people of the dark ghost, because of the many weirdnesses of the black water pool, and the uncertainty about whether the "Dark anaconda" will suddenly rush out, don't care much about her anymore.

Most of the people like Zhang Heng who coveted her beauty before died in battle.

"Pang Jian..."

She, who has not yet escaped from the shadow of death in Ningyuan Mountain, listened to the conversation of the dark ghosts and others, her slightly dull eyes slowly wandered to the black water pool, and a figure quietly appeared in her mind.

"Is he still alive?"

Ning Yao, who had already been in despair, did not believe that after so many people died, Pang Jian could still survive at the bottom of the pool.

After such a long time, how could Pang Jian, who had just realized the existence of "Qi", not be suffocated to death?

In the pool water, there is still an acid poison that will explode at an unknown time, and even Jinyang has suffered. Shouldn't Pang Jian's body be left behind?

Miss Ning's thoughts were helpless.

Thinking that she would eventually end up in a worse end than that of He Ziren, she prepared to bite her tongue and kill herself before that moment came.

Just as everyone was thinking about it, the ripples on the surface of the pool lasted for a while and then gradually subsided.

Although the blackness of the pool water has become much lighter, it is not completely clear, indicating that the acidity in the water still exists, and everyone can only continue to wait anxiously.

……

Bottom of the pool.

Backing all the way, Pang Jian, who had retreated to the rock wall by the pool, looked at the depths of the giant python's pupils, and the venomous light was gradually extinguished.

The more this giant python that has returned to the light, the more it wants to struggle desperately, the faster its flesh and blood energy will be consumed, and the speed at which it will be eaten by the phoenix bone will also increase.

Pang Jian looked at its huge head, pieces of shiny olive green scales disappeared, and the flesh was slowly hidden in the phoenix bones.

It was eventually eaten away.

After a fierce battle, the humanoid monster panted violently at the other end of the phoenix bone, and the water bubbles from its mouth floated up in strings.

He was also covered in cuts and bruises, but not a drop of blood flowed from his body.

He kept panting, creating more blisters in his mouth, and his deep red eyes were still fixed on the phoenix bone, waiting for the long-awaited gleam of light to condense into shape.

From the beginning to the end, in his eyes, it seemed that there was no such person as Pang Jian.

"It's also my luck."

Pang Jian was not dissatisfied with being slighted.

Seeing that the giant python finally died, and the changes that would take place in the phoenix bone hadn't started yet, he only thought about what he should do.

He looked around looking for his own way out, and then he was surprised to find that beside the rock wall he was clinging to, there was an open... stone door.

The rock wall here is very far away from the phoenix bone, and the stone gate is hidden deep in the underwater world, mixed in a pile of angular rocks.

Because the open stone gate is too flat and smooth, it looks a bit out of place with the surrounding rocks, so it is easy to be noticed.

"Man-made!"

After taking a look, Pang Jian was sure that the stone gate was not formed naturally, so he couldn't help but move closer.

Holding the dragon-patterned spear, he arrived at the open stone gate. After he entered nervously, he saw a narrow and deep stone path inside the stone gate, and it seemed that he could go to the other end of the mountain through the stone path.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he walked a dozen steps forward in the stone path, and saw a... small stone room at the bottom of the mountain.

There are stone tables, stone chairs, and a stone bed in the stone room, but nothing else.

Looking at the small stone room in the middle of the stone path, as well as the stone tables, chairs and beds, Pang Jian's expression was as weird as it could be.

Because the layout of the table, chairs and bed in the stone room was exactly the same as the stone room he lived in, so no matter how he looked at it, he would feel familiar.

The stone room he lives in now has been his residence since his father left.

Before his father disappeared, because he and Pang Lin were still young, he and Pang Lin lived in the same room.

"This……"

A man-made stone chamber was in the rock wall at the bottom of the pool filled with water, and the layout was so familiar that Pang Jian was momentarily stunned.

Could it be that his father had been here before, and he dug out this stone room?

The stone chamber is obviously at the bottom of the water, and ordinary people can't breathe and survive at all. How could my father create a stone chamber at the bottom of the pool?
Pang Jian couldn't find the answer.

However, this deep stone path leading to nowhere, and this mysterious stone room also let him see a way out.

After thinking about it, he didn't rush to explore the end of the stone path, but went out first and then closed the open stone door.

Only then did he notice that the surface of the back of the stone gate was also made of jagged gravel. When the stone gate was actually closed, it didn't look much different from the protruding gravel nearby.

It turns out that only when the stone gate is open can it be found that it is a flat stone gate.

This is a relatively simple means of masking.

Pang Jian believed that if he entered the stone gate and closed it from the inside, then the dark ghost monks who followed into the bottom of the pool might not be able to find the stone gate integrated with the gravel.

At this moment, he can actually get away and leave, he can close the stone gate and try to explore the end of the deep stone path.

But thinking that the acid and poison ability above the black water pool seemed to help his cultivation, he still chose to take the risk and stay.

In front of the open stone gate, he looked at the slightly blurred bones of the phoenix and the huge dead bones of the giant snake.

The amber gleam in the phoenix bone was wandering in the bone before it came out. It should be that the flesh and blood of the giant python is of great value and needs a longer brewing time.

The attention of the humanoid monster is completely on the phoenix bone, and it doesn't care about him at all.

So he still has time, and he can still absorb the dark acid and poison abilities from the black water pool, continue his practice of "Pot Heaven Nourishing Qi Art", and continue to temper his spiritual power with the vortex in his spiritual sea.

So he entered the state of practice again.

Time is passing quietly again, and in the blink of an eye, a few days have passed.

In the past few days, when he was too hungry to hold on, Pang Jian took out the dried meat soaked in water to satisfy his hunger, and spent the rest of the time practicing.

He firmly grasped this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for cultivation.

……

outside world.

The dark ghosts who had been waiting all the time looked at the water in the black water pool, the rich black became lighter day by day.

They finally waited until the day when the pond water was clear.

"It says that there is no corrosive acid poison in the water anymore."

Hong Tai pointed to the boa constrictor that belonged to him, looked at the clear pool water, and said: "It's still too deep, I can't even see the bottom of the pool, who of you will go down to see the situation?"

His eyes wandered on the faces of the dark ghosts, but everyone was silent, and no one dared to answer.

"Are you all this timid?"

Hong Tai, who had made up his mind a long time ago, looked at Ning Yao, who was imprisoned in the silver net, and said: "The purpose of keeping the girl from the Ning family until now is to use her to test the dark giant anaconda. The flesh and blood of a young girl is right. The dark giant anaconda is the most delicious, it can't resist such a delicious taste."

As soon as these words came out, Ning Yao was terrified.
