Chapter 189 A Miracle · Underground Giant City
The tunnel was about 20 meters high and more than 10 meters wide. It was a roughly oval shape. Its walls were all black and brown hard rock. No one knew whether it was a natural tunnel or an artificially excavated tunnel, and after years of invasion, it became like this.
The deeper they went, the lighter the wind was.
A deep and remote cold Icing air, as if it was from underground, enveloped everyone.
Liu Suifeng walked in front of the crowd with a soft flame that enveloped everyone and dispelled darkness and cold.
His speed was not fast.
About 30 minutes later, a pungent smell of blood came from the front.
Everyone felt nervous.
They stayed alert and approached. Then they saw that six corpses were lying on the ground. The blood was still flowing out of the wounds, emitting a hot white fog. The blood had formed a pool along the roads of the rock texture. It was rather miserable.
Ding Hao took a glance and recognized that they all should be wandering warriors from their dress.
w.a.n.g Juefeng, the cynical man, squatted beside the bodies and looked at them for a while, and then he shook his head and said, “They were all killed by the hidden weapons from Falling Star Sect… Well, I don’t know the conflict that happened between the two sides. Those who used hidden weapons are really d.a.m.n ruthless. There are no survivors!”
Some of the nominal disciples of Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect looked pale as they looked at the corpses.
A moment ago, they were still alive, but now they were lying here, even their bodies could not be buried. This was a cruel and cold world.
Was this the fate of martial artists?
In the crowd, Li Muyun, the silent eldest brother of Honorable Alliance of Seven, suddenly sighed and raised his hand to blow out a purple high-temperature Qi flame, burning all the corpses so as not to be devoured by wild animals and preserved their dignities as warriors.
The crowd moved on.
Along the way, they had met many dead wandering warriors and the bodies of rogue cultivators.
The causes of death were different, but they were all killed by human beings. It seemed that the Prohibitions on the periphery of the site had been broken, and there was no sneak-attack of powerful demons. However, lives were disappearing in this cold cave of blood.
Every time Li Muyun burned all the corpses patiently.
All the nominal disciples were deliberately saving their strength, avoid wasting the slightest Qi, in case of dealing with the sudden dangerous situation, but Li Muyun’s performance won Ding Hao’s admire.
They walked and walked. Suddenly…
“Here we are.” In front came the gentle and calm voice of Liu Suifeng.
The crowd looked up and they were greatly shocked. Some of them even exclaimed aloud.
They finally came to the end of this deep dark cave. It was a very empty underground s.p.a.ce as if they went into another majestic dark world. Besides, what shocked them most was that in front of everyone’s eyes was a magnificent giant city, like a prehistoric monster lurking in the darkness. It existed in the dark world all the time.
In the light of the silver flame flas.h.i.+ng on Liu Suifeng, they could see that the wall with a height of more than 200 meters was like a mountain blocking the front. The turquoise wall was flas.h.i.+ng with phosphorus fire. There were marks of all kinds of weapons on the mottled wall, which made them feel a sense of coldness and cruelty. In the middle of the wall was the gate of this grand city. Rows of crenellation on the top of the wall. They were like sawteeth of a monster. Below them was the city gate with a height of 100 meters and a width of more than 40 meters.
A strong breath of icy Qi filled the air over this huge city.
Ding Hao instantly recognized that this was the aura of Mu Tianyang, the child prodigy.
He had confronted Mu Tianyang and witnessed the battle between Mu Tianyang and the Crown Prince of Demon G.o.d Palace, so he was very familiar with the icy Qi, which was very similar to his wind and snow Qi.
Ding Hao speculated that this strong breath should have been left behind when Mu Tianyang used his Magic Skills to break through the ancient Prohibitions.
Ding Hao followed the crowd moving forward. The closer to the city wall, the stronger the shock and surprise in everyone’s heart. The grandeur of this ancient city was far beyond imagination. This city was full of the rugged and domineering style of ancient times. After countless underground years, it still looked very firm and solid.
At a distance of 500 meters from the city wall, there was moat that had dried up.
The riverbed was 100 meters deep and 300 meters wide. Someone with great power cut in the rock and made the riverbed. The cuts were very smooth.
With the strength of the nominal disciples, they could not stride over this river. They could only jump down to the riverbed and then climbed up from the cliff to get close to the city wall.
Somehow, when he jumped down to the riverbed, Ding Hao suddenly had a creepy feeling, as if suddenly he was targeted by some ghosts hidden in the dark, and he felt cold all over.
The cute cat that sat on his shoulder seemed to have the same feeling. His performance was very strange.
The cat was lazily “chanting scriptures”, but he suddenly became nervous and he firmly grasped Ding Hao’s shoulder with his claws.
Ding Hao did not know whether it was his illusion. At the moment, he felt there was an indescribable aura released from the cute cat and his gem-like eyes emitted a faint fluorescence and patrolled up in the dark river. It seemed that he was looking for something.
But in addition to Ding Hao and the cute cat, others did not seem to have found anything, even the strongest One Sword Destruction, Liu Suifeng and the cynical man w.a.n.g Juefeng were not aware of anything different.
“This place is a little strange.” In his mind suddenly sounded the voice of the Sword Master and his tone was dignified.
“Well, this layout… I suddenly have a bad feeling,” the Saber Master said.
Ding Hao said discontentedly in his mind, “Hey, guys, if you find anything, just say it. It’s wrong to scare people like this.”
“Haha, Little Chap Ding, are you afraid?” The Sword Master smiled contemptuously and said, “It’s okay, I just have an inkling of this. It’s not a big problem. It may be an opportunity for you.”
The Saber Master changed her solemn tone and said with a smile, “Well, though the Sword Master is unreliable most of the time, this time he is right. If this place really has the legendary layout, you may have good luck.”
“d.a.m.n, crazy woman, do you think I’m unreliable? Isn’t it you who is unreliable?” The Sword Master was furious.
The Saber Master burst out laughing and then said, “Hey, are you angry? Do you want me to tell Ding Hao the past of your unreliable heroic deeds?”
The Sword Master stamped with rage and acted like shrew shouting abuse in the street. He had no demeanor as a predecessor. He said, “You just say it. Let’s say it together. You also had scandals. Come on, if you don’t do it, you call me grandpa!”
Ding Hao felt helpless and did not know what to say. He had to cut off the dialogue so as not to be quarreled by the two old loonies who were at menopause every day.
Fortunately, after the two of them created such a disturbance, Ding Hao felt relieved.
