Nine secrets to cover the sky

Chapter 67 The Underworld
The sky darkened a little bit.

As time passed, Fang Jie and Kun Lun almost passed through half of the royal city, and finally came to the entrance of the underground cave.

But what is very surprising is that this entrance is actually a pond separated from the street by a wall in the garden of a certain rich family.

Therefore, during the process of Fang Jie and Kunlun entering here, they had to bring down a dozen guards one after another, and because they were not clean enough, when they stood on the bank of the pond, they went out through the surrounding rockeries. Look, there are torches coming and going in the darkness in the distance, mixed with secret footsteps and gongs, there is a group of people rushing here, obviously the host has discovered it.

"I'm sorry, Big Brother Fang, this is my first time being a thief, next time I will definitely act more simply." Kunlun said a little embarrassed.

Fang Jie was helpless and had no time to explain, so he could only grab Kunlun and sneak into the pond before the guards arrived.

Since this leads to the underground world, there must be a passage. The biggest possibility can only be the water inlet or the water outlet.

Therefore, when the two dived into the water, Fang Jie signaled Kunlun not to paddle, and kept still, feeling the difference in the water flow.

Sure enough, when the chaos caused by the two jumping in the pond water gradually subsided, there was a hint of suction immediately.is the water outlet.

Fang Jie then gestured to the puffed-up Kunlun, and the two of them paddled together and dived down.

When the suction became stronger and stronger, and the hairs of the two were enough to indicate the location, a small vortex on the mud of the pond suddenly appeared in the sight of the two.

So the two quickly approached, and while paddling the water while touching, they found a stone slab under the mud, so Kunlun punched it.

There was only a "poof", and the stone slab shattered.

At this moment, the small vortex rapidly grew in size, and a pulling force that was a hundred times stronger than before was transmitted, pulling the two of them off immediately.

At the same time, accompanied by more and more rapid gongs, several guards by the pond walked quickly past the pond with a knife in one hand and torches in the other.But no one noticed that the water level in the pond around him was dropping silently at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When Fang Jie and Kunlun were torn off, the suction disappeared immediately, but they were sucked into a vertical downward passage, and the water in the pond that came in together was falling rapidly, and Kunlun was so frightened that he screamed, Fortunately, it didn't take long for the two of them to fall into the passage, and fell into the icy water with a "plop", and it took a lot of effort to surface.

"Pounce, pounce." Kunlun wiped the water from his face, before opening his eyes, he shouted nervously, "Brother Fang, Brother Fang!"

"Here." Fang Jie replied helplessly.

Only then did the boy open his eyes, and at the same time his hands and feet under the water kept thumping, and he asked in horror, "Where is this?"

Fang Jie then looked around, and soon found that the two were in an underground river, and what they fell into was a big hole in a certain rock wall where the underground river passed. At this time, water was still falling from this big hole, It's like a waterfall.The entire underground river seemed to be in a semi-stationary state, and the flow was not obvious, but it could be recognized that the upstream was behind the two, and the downstream was in front of the two, and the surroundings were somewhat dark.So he said to Kunlun: "It's okay, we just fell into an underground river, now we just need to follow the water downstream, we should be able to find the place soon."

"Swimming again?" Kunlun's expression changed, and then he said with a sad face: "Brother Fang, I was born afraid of water, can I ask Yongfu to come out and drag us?"

Fang node nodded, "OK."

There was a flash of light in the water, and two behemoths came out of the water suddenly, even a big man of more than four meters could stand, with his shoulders exposed.

Kunlun climbed onto the neck of one of them and rode without saying a word, and Fang Jie naturally chose to sit on the shoulder of the other to save some energy.

"Okay, let's go." Kunlun said with a smile.

Fang Jie shook his head helplessly.

So, the two steel puppets carried the two of them on their backs, stepped on the bottom of the river, swung their arms to paddle at the same time, and began to move forward amidst the sound of clattering.

In this way, ten minutes passed.

When Fang Jie and Kun Lun slowly heard the sound of falling water, they stood up and looked around, and found that not far downstream, there was a large waterfall that fell nearly [-] meters vertically.

The two of them got off the steel puppet, climbed all the way down which was not easy, and descended tens of meters before finally reaching the bank of the waterfall.

But looking around at this time, the space has become very spacious, giving people the feeling of being in the depths of an ant nest.

I saw that the underground river continued to move forward flatly, and at the end of an unknown distance, there was a faint red light, which turned on and off as it dimmed, like a breathing candle.

Fang Jie immediately knew that it was the soul of Phoenix.

At that moment, he and Kun Lun walked to the bank and walked straight along the underground river, their pace obviously faster.

In the darkness, the red light at the end of the river was like a beacon, and as the two of them got closer, it became brighter and redder.

And just like that, another half hour passed.

When the two slowly felt the threatening temperature, the red light had already turned into a huge fireball lying on the river.And around the fireball, that is, at the bottom of the river and on both sides of the river bank, there are countless white bones tiled together, forming an untidy circle, like a bird's nest.

"That's it." Fang Jie stopped and said.

Kunlun also became nervous.

And at this time, a clear and clear cry suddenly came out from the fireball, and then, the flame of the fireball shrank in the middle, revealing a transparent cover, and as the flame converged to the middle of the cover, what condensed was a A firebird that flaps its wings slowly.

I saw that the fire bird was three meters long, with long feathers on its head and tail. It looked very light and agile, but it had the aura of a king.

Kunlun was a little dazed for a while, and murmured: "Is this the Phoenix?"

"It's the soul left by the dead phoenix, not the real phoenix." Fang Jie said.

Immediately, he took out the token to unlock the seal, and prepared to cross the last 100 meters distance covered with bones, to unlock the cover seal.

But at this moment, the phoenix stared at him firmly, let out a cry of surprise and madness, then opened its mouth to spit out a ball of flames, unexpectedly got out of the cover and shot towards him.

At this moment, Fang Jie and Kun Lun were taken aback, because no matter what, they never thought that the sealed phoenix soul could attack beyond the cover.

And just when they came back to their senses and wanted to avoid it knowing that they were not good, they suddenly found that the rumbling flames were coming, carrying a strong coercion, as if the air had become strangely heavy in an instant, unexpectedly The pressure made it difficult for the two of them to breathe, and they couldn't even move their fingers at all.

Fang Jie's heart suddenly turned cold, and Kun Lun's face turned pale in an instant.

The two of them almost watched the flame approaching quickly without any help, only felt the temperature getting higher and higher, and their burning faces ached.

But at this moment, the token in Fang Jie's hand suddenly lit up, and several beams of white light shot out, hitting the approaching flame and piercing it instantly.

Just like that, the flame disappeared.

The phoenix soul let out a cry of unwillingness, its eyes were full of resentment, and it began to fly around in the cover violently.

But Fang Jie and Kun Lun, who suddenly felt their bodies lighten and regained their freedom, took three steps back immediately, and then sweated profusely.

"Now, I understand where these white bones under my feet come from." Fang Jie panted continuously on his knees. At this time, he looked at his feet, some complete and some scattered human bones, and licked his lips. Said.

However, Kunlun, who still had lingering fears and hadn't recovered, waved his hand and said, "Let's not worry about how these dead ghosts died. I just want to know whether the token that saved us just now is still valid."

"I'll try." Fang Jie then let out a long breath, slowly straightened up, then raised the token and pointed it at the phoenix soul.

But under such provocation, the phoenix soul didn't spit out flames again, presumably knowing that it was useless, so it just flew around inside the cover even more violently.

Kunlun immediately felt relieved.So he swallowed his saliva and stood up, looking at Fang Jie.Then, the two moved forward in a tacit understanding, stepping closer step by step on the ground full of bones.

The phoenix soul slowly calmed down.In the entire pitch-black underground world, there were only two people breathing, and the sound of stepping on the ground full of bones.

Slowly, Fang Jie found that there seemed to be a hint of success in the eyes of the phoenix soul, and he couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

At this moment, there were two "clicks" under his feet, and Kunlun suddenly felt something grabbing his ankle. He looked around in shock, but saw a white bone palm grabbing him, and then there was a "crash", it was A skeletal upper body stood up from the bones all over the floor.

"Damn!" Kunlun's hair was about to stand on end in shock, and he subconsciously raised his other foot and kicked it around the stellar body.

Just hearing a "bang", the skeleton's jaw was hit, and it immediately flew upside down.

But what is surprising is that this seemingly extremely fragile skeleton got up again as if nothing happened after being attacked like this.

Kunlun was taken aback, and Fang Jie was also taken aback.

However, at the same time, the "click" sound similar to the one just now came again, and it was even more intensive. When the two of them secretly jumped out quickly, accompanied by the sound of "crash", one skeleton after another Stand up, stand up, and face the two of you.

"How can the phoenix know how to perform puppetry?" Kunlun's eyes widened and his face was shocked.

Fang Jie frowned, and said solemnly: "It's not puppetry, it's resurrection. Look carefully, some of these skeletons are slowly growing flesh."

Kunlun heard the words and looked at it, seeing that it was really the case, he couldn't help but turn pale: "The warriors who can come here to fight the phoenix soul may not be weak. If we revive them all, let's not say that we will continue to move forward, I am afraid that we will escape. Going is a problem. What should I do?"

At the same time, there are more than 100 holes in which flesh is growing, and they are slowly approaching the two of them.

Fang Jie then pulled Kunlun back again, and said at the same time: "It will not be fully resurrected, because the souls of these warriors are taken away after death, and they are not in the body, and the absence of souls means that they have no destiny, so they Even if it grows flesh, it can only have the physical strength it had in life."

Speaking of this, there was a flash of light in front of him, he took out a long whip and pulled out a whip fiercely, and there was a crisp "pop", and three skeletons flew far away in response, two of them were unscathed. He stood up again, but the remaining one couldn't get up because of the broken tibia.

"The ones who can't get up are those with poor physical strength!" Seeing this, Kun Lun felt a little relieved, and with a smile on his face, he immediately released the brave man's two steel puppets, making them face the rushing skeletons and kill them first.
