The Secret of the Goddess

Chapter 66 Exploring the Underground Cave

As long as there is no problem with Wutulu's bone fragments, this place can basically be determined to be the entrance to the Mother Pool of All Spirits.

Xue Yi went up and moved a large stone wider than the entrance of the cave, carried it on his head, and jumped down.

When people enter the cave, the stone seals it, which is just a tight barrier.

It's not difficult to get out. With his strength, he can push it away with just one push.

"If the seal is so tight, if there is no other exit, we will suffocate to death later." Xue Yi said with a smile.

"It's not so easy to suffocate. This place is huge. Let's go and explore the depths." Xiao Qingruo was very calm and took out an expensive luminous stone to use as a light.

Seeing this, Xue Yi couldn't help but said: "You have quite a lot of stuff on you."

"It's a joke, I'll buy something more powerful next time and scare you to death!" The eldest lady looked proud.

Xue Yi was quite curious about what kind of treasure she carried with her.

She had left a whole box of banknotes at home. Apart from the daily necessities, she was probably carrying only treasures.

The tunnel is a bit narrow, so you have to bend down to walk.

The passage was not deep, and after walking diagonally downward for about twenty meters, I encountered a stone wall, and was forced to turn and continue downward.

Soon, a cliff-like gap appeared in front.

This is an underground cave, about twenty to thirty meters high, with hanging stalactites and stalagmites on the ground. It seems to be naturally formed.

The positions of Xue Yi and Xiao Qingruo were on the stone wall in the upper part of the cave. Downward, a large amount of soil accumulated into a slope.

"Wutulu is a tunnel dug from the inside out. It seems that there is another entrance to the cave." Xiao Qingruo said.

The cave and the rock formations on the ground are integrated, and there is no other way out except the tunnel dug by Utulu. It can be seen that Utulu must enter from the other end and come out from here.

As for why he didn't go back the way he came, but worked hard to dig a hole in the ground, it's a bit intriguing.

"Come on, let's go down and take a look."

Xue Yi easily put his arms around the eldest lady's waist, jumped lightly, stepped on the soft soil and landed at the bottom of the cave.

The cave should have been quite beautiful originally, but unfortunately it was filled with a lot of soil.

The two searched around and found another hole in the wall half-buried by a slope of dirt.

"No one has been here."

The soil at the entrance of the cave still looks like it rolled down and accumulated. No one should have come here after Utulu left.

Xue Yi swept a few times with his true energy, and the surrounding soil was separated, revealing a hole that could allow one person to pass through.

Further inside the cave entrance, there are all rock structures, which seem to be formed naturally without any trace of artificial excavation. It is very magical.

The two of them went in one after the other and continued exploring along the cave.

This time the road was very long, and it kept moving downwards. After walking for three to four hundred meters, nothing special appeared, and there were no small animals.

While walking, Xiao Qingruo analyzed: "The points marked on the sheepskin map can lead directly to the underground river outside Donghuang Pass, which is one or two hundred miles long. Is this tunnel also connected to them?"

"It's possible, otherwise where did Utulu get in?"

Xue Yi also had this idea.

The Mother Pool of All Spirits is a great opportunity that the barbarians of the Eastern Wilderness have been chasing for generations, and it will only appear once in a long time. Their prophets can calculate the approximate time when the Mother Pool of All Spirits will appear and search for it in advance.

Uturu was one of the powerful men responsible for the search, and he came here along the underground river.

As for why we didn't go back the same way, it's worth considering.

Maybe it was because I didn't want to be tired from running underground because of the long distance, or maybe it was for other reasons.

After walking a few hundred meters, the two of them were already deep underground.

At this time, a low roar suddenly came from the front!

It seems to be some kind of beast!

"Silence!" Xue Yi quickly held down Xiao Qingruo, fearing that she would make a sound.

The roar was still a little far away, but the underground world was quiet and I could hear it clearly.

"It's a wild beast." Xiao Qingruo said firmly.

Barbarians and wild beasts are two terms that are almost tied together. When barbarians are looking for the Mother Pool of All Spirits, they must be prepared for battle, so they will bring wild beast companions with them.

"It should be Wutulu's wild beast companion who was left here to guard the Mother Pool of All Spirits. We are about to get there." Xue Yi lowered his voice and said to Xiao Qingruo.

Xiao Qingruo nodded slightly and said: "Go over and have a look. If you can deal with it, just kill it. If you can't beat it, let me do it."

The wild beast is here, the Mother Pond of All Spirits must not be far away, and the opportunity is right in front of us!

"good."

Xue Yi held the dragon-slaying knife, restrained his true energy, tried not to let out any breath, and then continued to advance forward silently.

This section of the road is actually quite long, and the low roar of the wild beast was heard by them over a hundred meters of tunnel distance.

Xue Yi cautiously came to the area where the sound came from and found a large cave in front of him, which was fifty or sixty meters high and more than two hundred meters wide.

The surrounding rocks are messy, the sound of water dripping, and at the same time, there is the automatic grunting sound of wild animals when they rest.

There were rocks blocking the view at the end of the tunnel, so Xue Yi cautiously stuck his head out and took a look.

I saw a black giant lizard lying on the ground, with a head as big as a dustpan, a thick body and tail, and four legs that were forged from fine iron, shining with a cold light.

This giant lizard is more than 5 meters long, and exudes an aura that is not weaker than the first level of immortality, and is about the same strength as Uturu.

Looking at its golden-iron skin, Xue Yi felt that it would be difficult for him to even break through its defenses.

Gululu~

The belly of the giant lizard made a low trembling sound.

It moved its body and spoke in human language, whispering: "Damn Wutulu, he said he was going out to contact the tribe, why hasn't he come back for so long?"

Xue Yi originally heard the other party's movement and thought he had discovered him, so he was shocked.

As a result, the other party was complaining, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice. He patiently hid and continued to eavesdrop.

"Alas, why did you break through underground instead of earlier or later? Now your body has become so big, how can you get out..."

"It also collapsed the road we came from. I'm so unlucky recently. I should have known not to follow that idiot Wutulu."

"Roar~ I'm so angry. I haven't eaten raw meat for seven days. I'm so hungry!"

As it spoke, it got angry and roared there, shaking the cave as if it was about to collapse.

It can be seen that this giant lizard is not low in intelligence. It has long been beyond the scope of ordinary wild beasts and has become a high-level demon beast.

Such a wild beast with ideas and strength is not easy to deal with.

Xue Yi did not rush forward, but looked around to find the location of the Mother Pool of All Spirits.

Following the sound of dripping water, he found a pool about ten meters behind the big lizard, which was formed by the accumulation of spring water dripping from the stalactites on the top of the cave.

White mist can be vaguely seen above the pool, which is a manifestation of the materialization of the spiritual power of the earth veins.

"It seems that this is the right place." Xue Yi nodded slightly.

He did not make a move, but returned to the original path lightly and retreated to Xiao Qingruo's side.

"How is it?" Xiao Qingruo asked in a low voice.

"It is indeed Wutulu's partner, a giant lizard at the first level of the Immortal Realm, and the Mother Pool of All Spirits is behind it. I am not sure, I am afraid you have to make a move." Xue Yi said.

Xiao Qingruo frowned.

The first level of the Immortal Realm, it feels that it is not worth her to use this opportunity to make a move.

After all, there is still the threat of Jiang Yunhuan, and there may even be barbarians, people from the Xuanyi Building and other forces appearing to rob.

If she takes action now, she will have to wait for death when she encounters the enemy later.

"What are your chances of winning if you burst out with all your strength?" she asked Xue Yi.

Xue Yi smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid there is not even one percent. My eldest lady, this is a whole realm away."

"This..."

Xiao Qingruo lowered her brows and pondered.

After a while, she bit her lips lightly, glanced at Xue Yi, and said: "I'll lend you a weapon, which should increase your chances of winning."

"Weapon? You still have a weapon? What grade?" Xue Yi was puzzled.

Xiao Qingruo opened her lips slightly and uttered two words: "Emperor's Soldier."
