The moment he stood up, a faint light appeared at the bottom of the pit. Duan Tianyang looked closely and found that it was the night-shining pearl that he had taken from the Jin cavalry, which rolled down in his arms.

He quickly leaned over and carefully picked up the night pearl. With the faint light, he saw a frightening figure appear beside him - a giant centipede half a meter long, dark all over, shiny and with claws densely covered, as if covered with a layer of fine hair, which was creepy.

He stretched out his arm swiftly, and the Universal Ring slid into his palm like a spirit snake and instantly turned into a long knife. He stabbed down without hesitation, and the long knife pierced the centipede's back.

At this moment, his stomach was empty and he was starving. The huge centipede in front of him could help him replenish some protein, but he didn't know whether it was poisonous or not.

After thinking for a while, he finally shook off the centipede on the long knife. The centipede was disgusting to look at, and he couldn't bring himself to eat it even if he was asked to.

He held up the night-shining pearl, and the light flickered in the dark bottom of the pit, illuminating the outline of the circular space.

The opening of the tiankeng is tens of meters wide, but this part is only ten meters square, which seems particularly cramped.

What is even more surprising is that there is a narrow entrance hidden on one side of the pit wall. It is dark and deep, as if leading to an unknown abyss.

Duan Tianyang thought to himself that since he could not escape from the tiankeng, his only hope lay in this inconspicuous cave entrance.

He pondered for a moment, transformed the long sword in his hand into an iron crutch, and slowly walked towards the cave entrance with the crutch.

The sinkhole is so deep that it makes people feel terrified. The mouth of the sinkhole is out of reach and even the slightest light can hardly penetrate it.

Duan Tianyang knew that it was hopeless to climb up, so he had to find another way, and the narrow cave in front of him became his only way to survive.

At this moment, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, imagining that herbal farmers and hunters might have come here to look for herbs and prey. If there really was a way out, he would be able to see the light of day again.

Little did people know that this valley was extremely secretive and no herbalists or hunters had ever set foot there, let alone this mysterious sinkhole hidden deep in the valley.

Duan Tianyang stepped into the deep cave. At first, he could move around freely, but as he went deeper, the cave seemed to gradually tighten as if it had consciousness, and finally he could only squeeze through sideways.

His body was already covered in wounds, and now he was feeling even more pain from the squeezing, so he couldn't help but let out a low groan.

At this moment, a faint popping sound came from the depths of the cave. His heart trembled suddenly, and he quickly raised the night pearl in his hand and called out anxiously: "Who? Who is in there?"

quiet!

The only voice that responded to him was his own, and the echo lingered in the empty cave for a long time, making him seem even more lonely.

Duan Tianyang gritted his teeth, tried his best to squeeze forward, and finally broke free from this narrow cave.

As they moved forward, the cave gradually widened. Although Duan Tianyang's steps were a little unsteady, he still quickened his pace and kept shouting, "Is there anyone there?"

He knew in his heart that there would hardly be anyone else here except him, and he kept asking questions just to give himself courage.

Jumping into the deep tiankeng and then stepping into the dark cave, Duan Tianyang felt as if he was in hell.

There was silence all around him, and there was only darkness as far as he could see. He was afraid that he would collapse if he didn't make a sound.

Fortunately, the cave gradually widened, the humidity gradually decreased, and the ground became easier to walk on.

Duan Tianyang sometimes moved forward and sometimes stopped to rest. After a long and difficult journey, he finally walked out of the cave.

However, just as he was about to step out of the cave, he suddenly felt a bad premonition and hurriedly retracted his steps.

He held on to the wall of the cave tightly, slowly squatted down, and used the night pearl to illuminate the area below the cave entrance.

There was only darkness below, bottomless.

He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it out of the cave with force. After waiting for a long time, he still heard no echo.

It turns out that outside the cave is an unfathomable abyss...

Thinking about how he almost stepped on empty air, he couldn't help but break out in a sweat and was still frightened.

The place he is in now is already deep enough. If he falls down further, won’t he fall into the legendary center of the earth?

What kind of hell is this place? Duan Tianyang was secretly shocked. He held the Night Pearl tightly in his hand, leaned out from the edge of the cave, and tried his best to spread the light outside. However, the light of the Night Pearl was limited after all. It could only illuminate the darkness around it, and in front of him was still an endless dark abyss.

Just as despair surged like a tide and almost swallowed him, something strange quietly appeared on the side of the cave - it was a chain, winding out.

The appearance of this chain was like a spring of sweet water in the desert. It made Duan Tianyang's heart jump violently, almost breaking through the restraints on his chest.

He knew very well that this was not a natural thing, but a man-made thing.

In this desperate situation, being able to see a trace of human intervention was like a life-saving opportunity. It made him so excited that his eyes turned red and he almost cried.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, slowly reached out his hand, and tightly grasped the chain.

The chain is solid and stable. Although I don’t know where the other end leads to, since someone left the chain here, there must be a way out.

After resting for a while, Duan Tianyang recovered some strength. He bit the night pearl in his mouth, held the chain tightly with both hands, and began to climb.

He clasped the chains with both hands and wrapped his legs around them tightly, moving forward inch by inch...

Just as he was concentrating on climbing, the chain suddenly trembled slightly. Duan Tianyang's heart tightened, thinking that the ends of the chain were loose, and he quickly accelerated forward.

At this moment, a sudden impact caught him off guard, and his head hit the obstacle in front of him with a dull sound.

He looked up subconsciously, and saw an extremely terrifying face appear in his sight under the faint light of the night pearl.

On that face, two green eyes flashed with a faint light, and the skin was dark green, rough and hideous; there was no nose, only two black holes embedded in the center of the face, and below was a bloody mouth with cracked lips, revealing two rows of sharp teeth like saw teeth.

"Fuck!" Duan Tianyang was so scared that he swore and his heart was in his throat.

This is a fucking lizard man...

Like Duan Tianyang, the lizard-like monster was also climbing forward on the iron chain. Their eyes met, and time seemed to freeze for a moment.

Suddenly, the monster opened its terrifying mouth and rushed straight towards Duan Tianyang's face.

Duan Tianyang instinctively raised his arms to protect himself. With a crisp "crack", the monster did not bite his head as he wished, but bit his wrist fiercely. The pain of the broken wrist bone instantly swept through his body, making him almost faint and almost falling into the bottomless abyss below.

"Ah!" Duan Tianyang cried out in pain, and the Universal Ring on his wrist suddenly blossomed, turning into countless silver threads, as sharp as blades, shooting out and piercing the monster.

With a "plop" sound, the monster's head was pierced by the silver wire. It let out a shrill wail, then struggled and rolled on the iron chain, and finally fell into the abyss below, and disappeared in the blink of an eye...

Looking down at the abyss below, it was like an invisible giant mouth, waiting to be fed...

Duan Tianyang's wrist was broken by the monster's bite. He was holding the iron chain with only one hand, and his body was shaking.

At the critical moment, he quickly mobilized his true energy and poured it into the Universal Ring. It transformed again into a solid arm, tightly wrapping around the iron chain, replacing the limb that had lost its function and stabilizing his body.

He lay prone on the cold iron chain, took a long breath, and looked at his injured arm. The wrist bone was broken, his palm hung limply, and two rows of teeth marks were shocking.
