Space Cultivation

Chapter 186 Channels
Seeing the figures of the two people disappear into the white snow, the emperor's hanging heart finally fell. Fortunately, he did not offend the two of them, and finally sent them away.

At this time, the mountain was covered with snow, and the two people and one beast were very dazzling in the endless silver, appearing fragile and small.The mountain forest, which should have been overgrown with weeds and trees, is not green at all, and the only few living pine trees have been covered with their original colors.

Shi Xuan was very suspicious, in such a weather, could the seemingly weak spirit-awakening grass really survive?Even if it really existed, it would probably be buried under the weight of the thick snow.Thinking of Shi Xuan couldn't help but feel depressed, when will he be able to find such a step by step step by step?They have been in the mountain for seven days, and they haven't found even a hair.

"We have almost found this mountain. Let's go around that lake to find another place." Heinian's tall and broad figure walked in front of Shi Xuan, blocking most of the wind and snow, and his calm voice came along the wind and snow, Soothe a lot of irritability in her heart.

Shi Xuan took a deep breath, cheered up and continued to move forward, "Well, be careful, the lake ice is thin, don't step on it."

Hei Nian turned his head and smiled warmly at Shi Xuan, "It's just right, don't go where I stepped on the empty space, so as not to get your feet wet." But they didn't know that it was precisely this turning that made the two of them miss the shocking scene.

Under the transparent ice layer, a huge black shadow quickly passed under the two people's feet, and its weird shape was like an ugly demon in hell.The two of them didn't know it at all, and they walked step by step to the mountain range opposite the lake against the wind and snow.When they reached the center of the lake, the fur ball burst out from Shi Xuan's shoulder with a "squeak".

"Furball, what are you doing, come back."

The fur ball turned its head towards Shi Xuan and screamed excitedly, and ran towards an inconspicuous corner of the lake.The two looked in the running direction of the fur ball, and saw a green grass standing stubbornly in the silver sky.

"Wake up the spirit grass!"

The fur ball grabbed the spirit awakening grass and waved in Shi Xuan's direction to ask for credit.However, before the smile on his face could spread, the ice layer under his feet, centered on the hollow left by the root of the spirit awakening grass, collapsed like a spider's web.

The fur ball fell into it together with the awakening grass.

"Hairball!"

Shi Xuan and the two turned pale with fright, followed the passage where the fur ball fell, and jumped off without hesitation.

"Furball, how are you doing?"

Shi Xuan fell to a distance of about 20 meters before stopping his figure. At this time, Mao Qiu was frightened by the sudden change and was sitting dumbfounded on the frozen soil mixed with ice slag.Hearing Shi Xuan's voice suddenly, he threw himself into her arms aggrievedly, still tightly holding the precious herb in his hand.

"It's good that it's fine. Fortunately, the water in this lake is all frozen, otherwise you will suffer. Let's go up." Shi Xuan said happily while stroking its head.

At this moment, there was a thin rustling sound from the depths of the ground, which sounded like the sound of countless Gu worms being crushed and exploded when they were in the southern border.Shi Xuan and Hei Nian looked at each other, both of them were puzzled, could there be living things underground in this winter?All the attention that was focused on the fur ball was pulled back into the thick ice by this strange sound.

Only then did I discover that starting from the place where the fur ball fell, there was a dark passage under the ice layer.It stands to reason that there is water besides ice under the lake, why is there a passage that does not see the sun?

Driven by curiosity, the two did not immediately turn back to the ice layer, but walked in along the passage in front of them.As they left, the two became more and more suspicious.The whole channel is not only one as imagined, some lead to other mountains, some lead to the surface of the lake, and some extend to the depths of the ground.

Shi Xuan groped along the downward passage, but the light was getting darker and darker, so he had to sacrifice the luminous beads.With the faint light, it is not difficult to find that this passage is five people wide and two high.The cave wall was extremely smooth, as if it had been waxed. To the surprise of the two, occasionally a stalk of awakening spirit grass would pop out.

"What's going on here? Why can medicinal herbs grow from the bottom of this dark lake? How does it survive?" Shi Xuan asked puzzled.

"This passage is obviously not natural. Could it be that someone deliberately dug it out to plant the spirit awakening grass? Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the source of this hole and the frequent occurrence of spirit awakening grass." Hei Nian analyzed with his chin.

"It's not impossible, shhh, listen." Suddenly Shi Xuan frowned slightly, signaling the two to silence, and listened carefully, "Did you hear that disgusting popping sound just now?"

"Well, it is indeed, and the sound is getting more and more obvious, as if it is approaching us." Hei Nian concentrated for a moment and found out, "It should come from another channel."

"What should we do? Could it be a disgusting monster that oozes pus? Shall we continue to move forward, or wait for it here." In this oppressive and narrow passage, Shi Xuan was a little flustered. Let her think wildly.

Just as he was speaking, the thin voice was getting closer and closer, and for a moment, a huge black shadow slowly slid towards the two people's positions.That's right, it's sliding. The black shadow seems to be covered in wax, and it can slide along the smooth cave wall for a long time.

A closer look makes one's scalp tingle. The huge phantom is not a monster, but is composed of densely packed black beetles. Those beetles are rolling forward one by one, as if they are sliding on the cave wall.

Hei Nianji produced countless golden blades, one knife at a time, Shi Xuan didn't dare to use fire spells under the ice layer, and the ice picks and thorns kept hitting the group of beetles one after another.However, the number of beetles is too large, and the passage is narrow, and the two cannot use their skills.Seeing that they were approaching, Shi Xuan had to drag a man and a beast into the space to escape.

In the space, Shi Xuan observes the movement of the Beetle with the spiritual power exuded outside.I saw that wherever they went, it was covered with white frost, which slowly disappeared after they left for a while.

"They left, and they didn't seem to be coming towards us. It seems that something deep in the passage is attracting them. What should we do now?" Seeing the beetles leave, Shi Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, and while withdrawing his mental strength, he asked road.

"I'm curious, what's inside? If there were only beetles, there would be no need for such a large passage." Heinian said calmly, "The end of this passage should be where the truth lies."

"Well, I don't know what's going on up front. Should we go in and have a look or leave here?" Shi Xuan was a little unsure, the beetle alone was enough to keep them busy for a while, and if there was something more terrifying inside, he didn't know. It depends on whether the two of them can handle it.

"If we leave here, there is no guarantee that they will not harm the people in the imperial city. No matter whether we can eliminate them or not, we will try. What's more, there is nothing to be afraid of when we have space in our hands."
