Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow

The sky seemed to be soaked in ink, leaving only darkness.

Large tracts of mountain forest have been plowed into flat ground. White snowflakes are intertwined with black gravel and mud. The mixture of black and white is shocking.

Between the sky and the earth, the huge body of a giant python slowly squirmed, its lower body coiled together, and its huge head raised high.

Then, a jaw-dropping scene occurred.

I saw a black light burst out from the snake demon and enveloped the whole body of the snake demon.

In the blink of an eye, the black light gradually shrank, and the huge snake demon transformed into a handsome man wearing a black robe.

He has a tall and straight figure, his eyes are as deep as the abyss, and his pupils are upright, shining with a soul-stirring light.

There was an indescribable majesty in the air.

"Hmph, I'm really annoyed. I was disturbed by two mere ants." The man in black's voice was low and magnetic. He gently revealed the slender snake letter and said with great dissatisfaction.

"Since hibernation has been broken, I won't be able to sleep for a while, and there is nothing going on around, so why not enjoy yourself and find some blood food."

A smile appeared in the corner of the man in black, with a look of desire for prey, and he said happily in his heart: "This is just a good opportunity to improve my cultivation, so as to increase the chance of snatching it in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black tapped his toes, and instantly turned into a deep black light, cutting through the sky, and the figure disappeared into the sky.

It tends to get dark earlier in winter than in other seasons.

However, soon after the arrival of Youshi, the night fell in Yongzhou.

There are no stars or moon in the sky, and everything is dead.

About two moments after the man in black left, the commander of the troops and horses, Jia Zhiping, led two groups of troops from the Military and Horse Division and the Weiwu Division, and followed the traces left by Huangfu Rou and others.

When they saw the mess in front of them, everyone was speechless and couldn't say a word for a long time.

…

In the dark cave.

After Shen Qing was swept away by the snake demon, his whole body seemed to be scattered. He was in severe pain and couldn't use much strength at all.

He only felt the rushing sound in his ears, and his body fell uncontrollably.

Just when he thought he was going to be shattered to pieces, a bit of luck came to him.

The bottom of this cave is not as bottomless as imagined, made of hard rocks, but a pool of clear water.

There were two muffled sounds.

Shen Qing and Huangfu Rou fell into the clear water pool one after another, causing large splashes of water.

It was already the severe winter time. As soon as Shen Qing touched the water, he felt a biting cold seeping in.

The strange thing is that even if he is at the Jade Luo Realm and his body is full of energy and blood, he can't stop the coldness in the slightest. He can't help but shiver and wake up instantly.

For a martial artist with true energy and spiritual power within him, it is very easy to hold his breath underwater, and he can hold his breath for several moments at a time.

Dan people entering the water are no different from fish. They can use the surrounding spiritual power to temporarily replace breathing. Even if they live underwater for a month, it will not be a problem.

Shen Qing concentrated all his thoughts to avoid panic, and then used the natural buoyancy in the water to float in the pool, allowing the broken bones in his body to relax.

He held his breath and circulated his true energy to activate the Whale Swallowing Art to refine the spiritual essence around his body and repair his injuries.

I don’t know if this pool of water is weird or for other reasons.

Shen Qing only felt that the concentration of spiritual energy in the pool was much higher than outside.

After about half a moment, Shen Qing finally regained some strength and faintly opened his eyes.

The pool was bottomless, pitch black, and you couldn't even see your fingers.

Shen Qing gradually realized that the coldness in the pool was piercing his bone marrow and actually draining his energy.

He didn't dare to stay for a long time and subconsciously floated upwards.

There was a crash.

He came out of the water and took a deep breath. After calming down for a while, he opened his heavy eyes. After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Shen Qing found that he was in a claustrophobic and humid space, with rough and uneven stone walls on three sides, and the high hanging ceiling of the cave seemed to be within reach.

The only area directly in front of the cave without a stone wall was a flat cave space that extended far into the distance and formed a slope. The space gradually became extremely spacious.

Surprisingly, there are strange stalagmites hanging in the seemingly ordinary cave ahead, emitting a soft and cold light.

This light is very weak, but it is just enough to dispel the darkness in the cave and illuminate the entire space quite brightly.

Shen Qing looked carefully and saw a familiar figure on the shore of the cave in front of him. He couldn't help but be startled.

At some point, Huangfurou had already swam out one step ahead of him.

At this time, her whole body was soaked, and the colorful brocade robe tightly fit her graceful body, outlining curves that were hard to take away.

He was probably seriously injured. Huangfu Rou was sitting on a dry rock, with his legs crossed, his hands gently folded in front of his Dantian, his eyes closed and concentrated, and he slowly adjusted his breathing.

Her breathing was long and even, and the trembling fabric in front of her chest rose and fell with her breathing.

Shen Qing didn't think much more, endured the severe pain of broken bones all over his body, and swam forward.

A small but sudden sound suddenly broke the silence around him, making Huangfu Rou tense up instantly.

She opened her eyes suddenly, her eyes flashing with vigilance and vigilance, and her hands unconsciously moved into a defensive posture.

The violent movement instantly affected the injuries on her body, and the pain came like a tide, causing her face to lose color in an instant and become as pale as paper.

"Who is..."

Her voice was low and nervous. Just as she uttered half a sentence, she saw a familiar figure paddling in the water and approaching quickly.

When the figure gradually became clear, her sudden nervousness and vigilance instantly dissipated.

Shen Qing swam to a place not far from Huangfu Rou, splashing water, and climbed up from the pool to the cave with difficulty.

Without thinking, he sat down on the rock next to Huangfu Rou, and his clothes swayed gently with his movements, splashing water.

Shen Qing looked at Huangfu Rou, and their eyes met in the air.

Huangfu Rou's wet hair stuck to her scalp and cheeks, and a few strands of hair gently fell on her forehead. Water drops slowly slid down the ends of her hair, or dripped on her white neck, adding a bit of charm to her.

"Sir Huangfu, it's my humble servant." Shen Qing quickly looked away and looked around and asked, "Sir, do you know where this is?"

"I'm not sure, but this place has a strong fishy smell, it's cold and damp, I think it should be the place where the snake demon lives." Huangfu Rou said her guess.

"In other words, this should be the cave of the giant demon?"

"Almost."

Shen Qing asked, "Sir Huangfu, do you know why we are here and if there is a way to get out? I remember that we didn't fall into a deep pool, why did we fall here after snorkeling?"

Huangfu Rou replied, "I observed when I came here. The pool of water in front of us leads to an underground river. We were washed here by accident. As for how to get out, I'll talk about it after I recover."
