The upper half of the tiankeng is considered to have sufficient oxygen, but in the area below half, everyone has symptoms of hypoxia to varying degrees.

The dense fog happened to be concentrated and suspended at this position, but the air above and at the bottom of the pit was relatively clean.

Insufficient oxygen also leads to a lot less mutated plants in dense fog, just pass quickly.

Even though Yan Chong and the tall man cleared the obstacles ahead, the hour-long rock climbing still made everyone exhausted.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when their feet touched the ground.

Even if there may be unknown dangers at the bottom of the pit, it's better than hanging on the cliff with nowhere to go.

Except for Yan Chong and Da Gao, the rest sat and panted for breath while observing the scene at the bottom of the tiankeng.

Due to the occlusion of various vegetation, they could not estimate the area of ​​the bottom of the tiankeng, and when they climbed down from the cliff, their vision was blocked by thick fog, so they still don’t know the exact size of the bottom of the pit, so they can only estimate it from the entrance of the cave. It's about the size of four or five football fields.

In terms of depth, Lu Tai calculated with the measuring instrument he carried with him that it was 487 meters.

Such a deep tiankeng, so the sunlight here is very rare, but unexpectedly, the plants here are growing well, not the kind of leggy growth caused by lack of sunlight, but the branches are lush and healthy. .

After resting for more than ten minutes, everyone continued to walk to the center of the pit. The reason why they chose to go to the center was because of the characteristics of the plants here: the closer to the inside, the better the growth state of the plants.

Even the flowers are more luxuriant and beautiful, but the strange thing is that they are like dead things, without a sense of freshness.

"A Tai, I'm a little scared..."

At this time, Owen, who was close to Lu Tai, suddenly made a sound.

His words broke the tense and serious atmosphere, and also expressed everyone's aspirations.

The further you go in, the more uncomfortable this creepy silence is.

"What are you afraid of? Shut up!" Lu Tai turned his head away to curse impatiently, but he didn't pull back the arm tightly held by Owen. "If you talk again, I'll throw you here alone!"

As expected, Owen's eyes widened in fright, and he held Lu Tai's hand even tighter, not daring to say a word.

After this little episode, everyone continued to move forward. Everyone knew that this place was evil, but now they had to bite the bullet and move forward.

Yan Chong, who had been opening the way ahead, thought for a while, then turned around and strode in front of the tall man, and said in a deep voice, "I will change places with you." When he spoke, he looked past the expressionless face of the tall man, and looked at He Di Wenmer repaired together.

It's not that the big tall man doesn't understand the words, but most of the time he is too lazy to talk to them. He always pays a little more attention to the strong, which can give him some face.

Those usually indifferent eyes glanced slightly at Di Xiu beside him, then shook his head resolutely at Yan Chong.

Yan Chong: "..."

Dixiu smiled "Puff" and raised his eyebrows. If the atmosphere wasn't inappropriate, he might give Da Gao a kiss as a reward.

Yan Chong's face was a bit embarrassed, he didn't expect to be rejected so thoroughly, he pursed his lips, and his expression was cold, so as to maintain his bearing.

After laughing, Dixiu didn't sarcastically, after all, this is not a good place to chat.So he blinked at Wen Moer, who was not aware of the situation, and then he generously took the big tall man by his arm, and said empathetically, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to open the way."

Now that he has spoken, there is no reason for the tall man not to agree, and besides, he walked last to protect his sweetheart.

"Xiao Mo, it's safer to go to the back with him." Di Xiu didn't forget to turn around and remind him.

In fact, if monsters really came out, taking the maze-like jungle as an example, neither the front nor the back could be considered safe.

Lu Tai, who was waiting by the road, looked at this place and wanted to say that he would go to the front to take the lead, but when he saw the oil bottle hanging beside him, he was immediately discouraged.He even became a person who was caught in the middle and received special care. He was very upset for a while, and pinched Owen's face viciously.

Seeing the red marks on Owen's face, and his aggrieved appearance of wanting to cry but not daring to cry, Lu Tai stopped his hand with great kindness, feeling much more comfortable, and also felt a bit sadistic.

Walking behind Lu Tai was his younger brother Xiaoli. Ever since Yan Chong moved to the last place, he was forced to listen to the ambiguous conversation between the two behind him.

Not only did he feel uncomfortable all over his body, his face became even more ugly.

"Are you... afraid?"

It may be that the weird atmosphere dazzled his head, and Yan Chong, a calm and self-retained person, had nothing to say at this time and talked nonsense.

Wen Moer was slightly stunned, and shook his head lightly: "I'm not afraid, it just doesn't feel good." His eyes fell on the deep and endless road ahead, he frowned and said, "I always feel that there is something in front of me, it should be wood..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Chong understood what he meant, patted him on the shoulder gently and said: "I also have this feeling, don't worry too much, maybe it's not as bad as imagined."

Wen Moer is no longer a child, the blood surging in his body tells him that everything will never be so simple, but he still tries his best to show a soft and sensible smile in the face of the soft words of comfort from the person in front of him.

A trace of pity flashed across Yan Chong's heart, and suddenly he asked in a mysterious way: "In case something happens to me..."

Hearing this, Wen Moer, who has always been calm, grabbed his arm tightly, his face paled: "Brother Chong, don't talk nonsense! We... no, everyone will be fine..."

Yan Chong said in a deep voice, "Okay."

……

The two people behind were silent, wondering if they were looking at each other affectionately at this moment.

Xiaoli suddenly felt like a clown placed in a corner, his sincerity was never accepted by that person, and that person never even took a second look at him.

And my brother...

Xiaoli raised his eyes and looked forward at the elder brother who kept scolding the eagle-eyed lackeys, and his heart felt even more sour.

My brother has someone else's place in his heart, and his concerned eyes no longer always fall on himself.Xiaoli felt that he was so redundant, and the uncomfortable silence around him couldn't overcome the jealousy and pain in his heart.

A few people with different thoughts walked a long way, and suddenly, the feeling of coldness to the point of chills disappeared inexplicably.

At the end of the winding path, the line of sight suddenly opened up, and at the moment when the scene ahead came into view, everyone couldn't help but let out a gasp.

I saw a slightly higher platform in front of me, and in the center of the platform stood a gorgeous big tree. The reason why it was said to be standing instead of growing was that this big tree did not have the appearance that ordinary trees should have.

The big tree has no flowers or leaves, but its branches are not empty, they are actually covered with icy crystals.Under the faint sunlight, the spontaneous streamer of the crystal reflects the brilliant light.

The leafless tree is like a dead tree, but the crystal gives people the feeling of abundant life, even if no one touches it at the moment.

"This is the wood core."

Dixiu's plain voice caused ripples in people's hearts.

"It's so beautiful..." Wen Moer couldn't help admiring.

Compared with admiring the splendor of the wooden core, Yan Chong is not so romantic. His rational mind makes him analyze the current situation, and how to obtain the wooden core is the key.

I didn't encounter any danger along the way just now, but I should be more vigilant when I get here.

"I'll go over and have a look, you guys stay here first." Yan Chong took the initiative to stand up.

Lu Tai snorted disdainfully: "I'll go too! You are the farmer of Qingzha, and I should advance and retreat with you."

He has never been someone who hides in the background and picks up people's teeth. Their Qingzha men are never afraid of life and death.

He looked at Yan Chong frankly, and what he said was really surprising.Yan Chong squinted his eyes and glanced at him, and immediately responded: "Okay! You go with me!"

This time, Lu Tai mercilessly withdrew the arm that was tightly held by Owen, pointed at the tip of his nose and threatened: "Don't cry, don't shout!"

Owen immediately bit his mouth and nodded foolishly and pitifully.As soon as Lu Tai changed his bully-like expression, he rubbed Owen's hair abnormally, and sighed slightly: "Listen to Xiaoli, I'll be fine."

"Xiaoli, you too, be careful." Lu Tai ordered before following Yan Chong who had already walked a few steps.

The two walked cautiously towards the big tree.Except for the tall man who had nothing to do with them, the few people in the outer circle stretched their necks and followed the two of them with their eyes. While nervous and worried, they did not forget to observe whether there were other visions around them.

When Yan Chong arrived under the tree and cautiously reached out to touch a shining wooden core, everyone held their breath in unison. It was not until the wooden core was picked off with a "da da" that the heart lifted up to the throat was slightly relaxed. Take it easy.

But, is everything going so smoothly?

Yan Chong held the warm crystal stone in his hand, frowned, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

Suddenly, the wind picked up.

The forest at the bottom of the pit, which has been as quiet as death all this time, is actually windy!

Immediately afterwards, a burst of fragrance that was so strong that it hit the brain immediately diffused around, and thousands of streamer crystals hanging all over the tree shook one after another, like wind chimes blown by the breeze.

"jingle--"

"Jingle jingle—"

……

The door curtain hung with golden wind chimes was suddenly lifted, and Luo Zhou, the left protector of Wuya Palace dressed in black, came with a sword, startling the tranquility of the Lord's bedroom.

Yan Chong, who was dressed in a black robe trimmed with gold thread, was eating breakfast. He was not surprised by Luo Zhou's reckless behavior.

"What's wrong? Who messed with you so early in the morning?" Yan Chong asked calmly without raising his eyelids.

Luo Zhou, who was standing by the side, slapped the wooden beam and pillar beside him, directly branding a five-fingerprint on it. He was impatient and easily angered, but now his face became distorted with anger.

"They're not from the Hehuan Palace! Those monsters! They're here to trouble us again! They're like flies, and they can't be driven away!"

Yan Chong took it for granted, and replied coldly: "What's the trouble? Just come and kill one."

Killing people is as easy as eating, and people of the righteous way will listen to it and say that the people in Wuya Palace are cruel and inhuman.

"This time..." Luo Zhou looked delicate, took a deep breath and continued, "Damn it! They didn't come to grab the territory from us this time. If they did, I would have beaten them down long ago! No one will be left behind." !"

"Oh? Then they are..." Yan Chong raised his voice.

"They are..." Luo Zhou smashed his long sword towards the round table next to him with a crisp sound, and the disdain on his face became more and more intense.

"Hmph! Shameless goblins, they are here to send beauties to the Lord!"

Yan Chong: "..."
