Zhuxian Ertianhuo
Chapter 43 Two Staircases
Not long after, the four of them returned to the entrance of the hall just now.
Yan Xiaoan was still vigilant and looked around.
Zhang Xiaoding behind him suddenly noticed that Yan Xiaoan's body seemed to have paused, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong? Xiaoan?"
With a frown raised, he stepped to the door, then looked into the hall, and was surprised.
There is no one in the hall!
The walls were ruined, the tall stone statues collapsed, and blood was everywhere. The magic circle on the ground had long been broken, and the murals on the walls were damaged and peeled off, and blood was also splashed on it.
It seems that there has been a big war.
But who is fighting with whom?
Is there anyone else here?
Righteous?
Or infighting?
unknown.
The four of them entered the hall and looked around. A huge stone statue's head lay at Yan Xiaoan's feet. Yan Xiaoan carefully looked at its neck. It was severed by a sharp weapon. It is flickering with a faint purple awn.
There are still many fragments of statues scattered around, with arms and limbs, but without exception, there are traces of knives, axes, swords and halberds everywhere
Walking to the top of the three-story stone platform, the magic circle was broken early, leaving a deep and dark entrance leading to an even darker bottom.
Zhang Xiaoding looked at it for a long time, then frowned and said: "Senior Sister Su, do you think it might be because of the operation of the magic circle, these stone statues suddenly came to life, and then the people from the Demon Cult fought with them?"
Su Xiaoling nodded and said: "I think it should be, when I saw these statues, I felt strange."
Qi Xiaoxuan looked at the broken stones all over the ground and asked, "What would such a thick stone statue look like when it moves?"
Zhang Xiaoding shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity I missed it."
"It must not be very good-looking," Yan Xiaoan pointed at the bloodstains, "and it should be very ugly."
Then Qi Xiaoxuan's complexion turned really ugly, because she followed the direction of her finger and saw several dead bodies, bloody and bloody. Although most of them were buried by many large and small rubble, they were still too horrible to look at.
Yan Xiaoan sighed in his heart, those were the members of the Shengui Sect who died a long time ago, and this battle was considered a slight burial for them, the Tang Sect's underground palace really became their grave.
However, judging from the blood on the broken statue, there must have been casualties among members of the Demon Cult during this battle, and it is not known whether the corpses were taken away or disposed of.Moreover, he did not see Liu Chengling and his big turtle.
Su Xiaoling turned around again, checked carefully, looked at the ruined battlefield, there seemed to be some indescribable emotions in her eyes in a trance, like worry, joy, confusion, complicated and indescribable.
However, she turned her back to the crowd, and no one could see her, and said in a straight voice: "Although I don't know how powerful these giant statues are, but being able to cut them down in one fell swoop, this level of cultivation is definitely extremely high. It can't be the man with the golden ax."
After a pause, he turned around and continued: "Besides, the faint purple light that has not disappeared on it should also be left by some extremely powerful magic weapon."
Zhang Xiaoding took a look, and split the big rock with his long yellow sword, sparks flew everywhere, leaving only a few not deep dents.
Yan Xiaoan took a look and said, "Very hard?"
Zhang Xiaoding frowned and nodded.
Su Xiaoling looked over and looked at Zhang Xiaoding, who was also worried and shocked.
Yan Xiaoan said: "Is there any strong support from the Demon Cult?"
Zhang Xiaoding pondered for a while, said: "It should be," then walked to the edge of the entrance, "Let's go down quickly, so as not to be left too far by them."
Yan Xiaoan also leaned over, looking at the dark cave entrance, the bottom was faintly invisible, the dark steps spiraled down and leaned against the cave wall, the cave wall was horribly red and black, with a dense cold air floating above it, swallowing the light, as if devours everything.
Like a giant beast that chooses and devours people, it opens its bloody mouth and welcomes them with a grinning smile.
Zhang Xiaoding didn't say anything anymore, he greeted everyone, and walked down first, followed by Su Xiaoling and Qi Xiaoxuan in turn.
Yan Xiaoan stared blankly at their backs, so they weren't afraid at all? ...What is Qingyun Gate?
All he saw and heard along the way were family disputes, fighting with each other, and any intervention by righteous demons was also dependent on interests, but what did the real righteous demons think?What is the world above all sentient beings like?For a moment, Yan Xiaoan couldn't figure it out, and couldn't make sense of it.
Qi Xiaoxuan showed half of her head at the entrance, and urged: "Hurry up, Xiaoan!"
"Ah!" Yan Xiaoan was stunned for a moment, stepped up the steps, but couldn't help but look back, the hall that suddenly became quiet, the faint white light, as empty as it seemed, and the residual red blood stains, as if there was something in the darkness. Glossy, but more discreet
Yan Xiaoan's throat felt dry, and suddenly felt that darkness was a safer place to go, so he took two quick steps and followed at the end.
A group of people circled down, and as they went deeper, the light behind them gradually faded away and disappeared completely.
The entrance of the cave is several feet in diameter, but the stairs are only enough for two people to walk side by side, while four people walk vertically in order to deal with emergencies.
The surroundings were shrouded in darkness, even if Qi Xiaoxuan was just a step away in front of him, he could only see her vague outline.
The night was like a tide, and the silence was even more uncomfortable. He couldn't set fireballs to illuminate it, because no one was sure whether such an important passage would be guarded by enemies, and even the footsteps were light.
So Yan Xiaoan became even more nervous, and said softly: "Brother Xiao Ding, tell me, since the Demon Cult has strong support again, why should we rush to follow? Isn't it better to keep a distance?"
Zhang Xiaoding smiled from below, although his voice was not loud, it was still as clear as a breeze, making the darkness flutter, and it also dissipated the dark clouds in Yan Xiaoan's heart.
"Haha, how do you know what they are doing when you are far away?"
Yan Xiaoan curled her lips and stopped talking.
But Su Xiaoling smiled and said: "Stay there, you won't be afraid that they will have reinforcements coming over later."
Yan Xiaoan was startled, and suddenly wanted to give her a white look, and said, "By the way, when will the reinforcements from Qingyun Sect arrive?"
Su Xiaoling seemed to ponder for a while, and said: "Mu Huaizheng is the closest to here, but it will take two days and two nights at the earliest. As for those who return to Qingyunmen, they can only rely on them to deal with the aftermath."
"Ah." Yan Xiaoan choked up, not knowing what to say for a while.
Su Xiaoling continued: "Brother Xu has dispersed his people to seek help from the nearby aristocratic families, maybe they can be quicker."
"That should be hopeless," Yan Xiaoan sighed, "The Tang Sect is the largest family in the vicinity, and those small families are all attached to the Tang Sect."
Qi Xiaoxuan was puzzled and said: "Impossible, the Tang Sect has fallen into demons, everyone should be beating them, they will come."
Yan Xiaoan shook his head, and said: "Maybe there are people who are jealous, but due to the influence of Tangmen, and fear of Qingyun's reckoning afterwards, they can't be of much help. Besides, even if the nearby aristocratic families and small sects come to attack Tangmen , It’s useless without a big force pulling the flag.”
Zhang Xiaoding's voice came from below, "Don't worry about this, the four of us, um... and Xiao Hui, enough."
"Squeak, squeak."
"Hmm!" Qi Xiaoxuan responded.
Su Xiaoling also smiled.
Only Yan Xiaoan bared her teeth and scratched her head, is that enough?It's not enough to put a gap between people's teeth...
"So are you ready to retreat?"
Zhang Xiaoding said: "The way forward is the way back."
Yan Xiaoan: "..."
Just like that, the deep and silent vertical ancient cave echoed faintly.
As the saying goes: what fears most in silence is speech, and what fears the most in dead silence is anger.
Tangmen's underground palace was as dark as an ancient tomb, and it couldn't resist the laughter and laughter. They seemed to have forgotten the enemies that might jump out at any time, chatting and laughing, and walked for a long time.
It's just that the stairs spiraled, seemingly endless, and I don't know how far I walked, how deep I dived into the ground, even Yan Xiaoan's legs were a little sore, and it was still dark in front of me, neither the door nor anyone was seen.
While talking and laughing, Yan Xiaoan breathed the faintly humid air, and gradually realized that something was wrong, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xiao Ding, do you think this staircase will lead to the Netherworld?"
Zhang Xiaoding smiled and said, "How is it possible."
"Whether it's the underground palace or the ancient tomb, how can it be built so deep?"
Zhang Xiaoding also frowned, said: "That's right, it's too deep."
Qi Xiaoxuan suddenly asked in surprise: "Will we fall into some kind of maze again, going around in circles?"
Zhang Xiaoding also thought it was reasonable, nodded and said: "The Tang Sect magic circle is superior, and they are always proud of it. How can they have fewer places to hide things?"
"Pfft!" A fireball ignited in Yan Xiaoan's palm, and the darkness retreated instantly.
The four people in the firelight all looked at the fireball in his hand, and Yan Xiaoan looked down at them seriously through the light.
Zhang Xiaoding nodded.
In the next moment, the fireball suddenly became bigger, like a watermelon, with a flick of the wrist, it flew into the sky with a "whoosh".
The fire shines like the scorching sun at noon, and it rises into the sky at a very high speed, and you can have a panoramic view of everything it passes by.
The stairs spiral like a crouching dragon, and the ancient caves look like a well, but the sky cannot be seen.
The fireball gets smaller and smaller, as it goes far away, it looks like a spark, and finally disappears.
Darkness fell again.
Everyone was silent.
"Pfft..." Yan Xiaoan ignited another fireball, and the four people appeared in the sight of each other again, and the four shadows merged into the darkness, swaying with the firelight.
They all looked at each other, and Xiao Hui yelled twice.
Suddenly, Su Xiaoling's beautiful eyes widened, and she slowly swept across the crowd, "Do you think we've already passed by?"
"Ah?" Qi Xiaoxuan yelled, and Su Xiaoling continued: "None of our guarded enemies along the way saw such an important passage. Since they already know that there are other people in the underground palace, it is impossible for them to be so negligent."
Zhang Xiaoding was at the bottom, with his head raised, the firelight shining on his handsome face and frowning eyebrows, "That is to say, there may be a secret door on the stone wall on the road, we didn't dare to illuminate it all the way down, and ignored it."
Yan Xiaoan also nodded, raised his eyebrows suddenly, and said in surprise: "No!" Then another fireball ignited in his palm, flipped his wrist, and fell slowly.
The three of them were startled, but they all looked at the falling fireball. As far as their eyes could see, the fireball floated to Zhang Xiaoding's feet.
The range of the fire suddenly expanded.
Immediately, with a sound of "Zi", it went out!
It's over!
Yan Xiaoan was still vigilant and looked around.
Zhang Xiaoding behind him suddenly noticed that Yan Xiaoan's body seemed to have paused, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong? Xiaoan?"
With a frown raised, he stepped to the door, then looked into the hall, and was surprised.
