Chapter 298 New Channel, Dark River, Encounter with Ghosts (Large Chapter with More than 4,000 Words)

Yu Guihai looked around. The surrounding canyons were very wide. Beyond the edge of the Grand Canyon in the distance, towering peaks pierced the sky, surrounding the entire Grand Canyon like an iron barrel.

He thought of the Poisonous Miasma Ridge in Qingshan City. Although the area was not as large as here, the terrain was very similar.

There was a circle of tall peaks surrounding a canyon. There was a small hill in the center of the canyon. There was a huge bottomless cave under the hill, which was full of Yin Qi.

He felt very strange. Was this terrain formed naturally by heaven and earth, or was it specially set up by some powerful person?

This thought flashed through his mind, and this problem was not something he could consider now. For now, he should think more about how to get out of this mission safely.

Several people quickly came to the foot of the hill. Yu Guihai stood at the foot of the hill and found that although this hill was called a hill, it was set off by the surrounding giant mountains.

In fact, standing at the foot of the hill, you will find that this hill is actually very tall and very thick, which is why it looks like a ghost head.

The eyes of the ghost head are two huge black caves, and the mouth is even bigger than the two eyes combined.

The entrance to the cave is in the mouth of the ghost head. As long as you walk in, you will soon see a narrow mountain wall with black holes lined up one after another on the mountain wall.

These holes are tilted downward, and along the winding cave passages, you will reach the first level of the cave, the cave maze.

This level is a huge and complex natural underground maze, and the terrain is basically all winding and interconnected underground passages.

It is unknown how these passages were formed, and they are densely distributed throughout the underground of the Grand Canyon.

Some people say that this is the passage that the giant monster Qu Liuchuan drilled out from the ground, some people say that it is a wonder formed by the natural world, and some people think that it is the airway formed by the breathing of the powerful ghosts and gods in Huangquan Hell. In short, there are many different opinions, and there is no conclusion.

The maze on the first level is not completely connected. This place is composed of many unconnected small mazes, and the small mazes reached after entering each hole may not be the same.

The situation on the following levels is similar.

So if you want to reach a certain location, you may have to choose the right entrance, otherwise you may never reach the desired location if you enter the wrong entrance.

"Everyone, follow closely, don't fall behind, otherwise we may not be able to reunite."

Li Xiaocheng gave a warning, and seeing that everyone agreed, he led the way into a cave entrance, which was obviously chosen long ago. Everyone followed.

The cave was very smooth and round, so people could only walk comfortably in a long line.

The cave passage continued to go down, and soon, Yu Guihai felt that he had gone down about ten meters, and a crossroad appeared in front of him, with a faint mist in the crossroad.

Yu Guihai knew that this was the first level of the cave.

The mist in this first layer was relatively thin, and demons and ghosts rarely appeared, but basically no spiritual herbs and materials were produced, and basically no warriors would stay here.

The biggest function here seems to be to use the maze to block outsiders. A long time ago, many warriors who came here were trapped in the maze and starved to death in it.

Until later, after unremitting exploration, people finally figured out the situation of this layer of the cave and drew a maze map, which made the cave maze no longer a problem.

Yu Guihai's mind naturally emerged with the first layer map he remembered. The location of this entrance was quickly confirmed by him, and the direction of the nearby passages was also in his mind.

Li Xiaocheng obviously knew the route in advance, and he did not need to take out the map to look at it. He led everyone to turn into the crossroad with ease.

He led the way in twists and turns, sometimes down, sometimes up, sometimes left, and sometimes right. The route he was moving forward gradually deviated from the map in Yu Guihai's memory, until it was a completely unfamiliar place in the end.

Yu Guihai was not surprised by this. The map he got was just a well-known regular map released by the Martial Arts Alliance. They were all places that everyone had already explored without any secrets, and it was impossible for them to include the entire underground maze.

Many forces or people have detected new channel maps, but they do not publish them, but hide them for their own use.

In particular, there are not just one or two entrances from the first floor to the second floor, but countless, and each entrance leads to a different location.

And the second floor begins to have various useful resources, and even low-level spiritual herbs and materials begin to appear.

Maybe, a certain entrance to the second floor may lead to a treasure land containing natural treasures.

Another point is that the second floor is not completely connected. Entering the second floor from different entrances may not be connected at all, but separated by thick stone walls or blocked by abyss.

The same is true for the third floor behind, and it is not until the fourth floor that it is a vast and boundless underground world.

Such a huge underground space, people know that it should be connected, but because it is too vast and full of powerful monsters, each new entrance is also likely to represent a treasure land that no one has reached.

Therefore, each newly discovered entrance represents huge benefits. As long as it is in hand, the treasure resources produced by the entire new cave level can be enjoyed exclusively.

This shows how precious a new entrance is. Once announced, it will cause countless forces to fight to the death.

It is not known whether the passage Li Xiaocheng took was a private passage or a passage that he did not know about but had a small circulation.

Yu Guihai carefully and secretly observed the other people. The old man was cunning and could not see any abnormality. It was unknown whether he knew about this passage or would hide it.

However, the remaining people, including Zhang Yunfeng, showed a hint of surprise and joy. Obviously, they all knew about this passage for the first time.

And they all understood the benefits of a new passage. Even if it had been circulated in a small range and had been developed by people who discovered it earlier, it would still have many benefits, at least much better than those public passages that had been trampled by countless warriors.

Not long after, Li Xiaocheng led everyone to the end of a maze passage.

In front of them was a black and damp stone wall. There was a downward cave under the stone wall, like a natural well. Under the cave was a gentle underground river.

"Let's go!"

Li Xiaocheng took the lead and jumped down the cave, and everyone followed. The river channel cave of this underground river was very wide, more than ten meters wide.

A light mist enveloped the river, so that everyone could only see a short distance away.

The cold water flowed out from the mist in the distance and flowed under everyone's feet. The river water only reached the ankles.

Everyone's feet all emitted colorful internal energy to protect their legs and feet, preventing the river water from soaking their shoes.

In such a place, no one dared to let the river water soak their shoes and touch their skin. Who knows what unknown dangers are hidden in this seemingly calm and harmless river water.

"Wait here."

Li Xiaocheng said lightly. After that, he stood in the middle of the river and did not move.

"Wait?"

Although everyone was surprised, they did not ask more questions, but began to wait with him.

After a long time, nothing happened, and no one came to lead.

Everyone was suspicious. Yu Guihai saw the old man secretly exchanged a few glances with the snake, and Zhang Yunfeng understood and coughed lightly, and asked: "Butler Li, what are you waiting for here? Do you want to explain it to everyone?"

Li Xiaocheng looked around at everyone, and seeing that everyone had a questioning look on their faces, he chuckled and said: "Of course we are waiting to go to the next floor."

"How to go?" Zhang Yunfeng's face became more and more puzzled.

"Hehe, you will know in a moment." Li Xiaocheng smiled mysteriously.

After a while, Yu Guihai's heart moved, and he listened quietly. There was a rumbling sound coming from a very far distance, and it was approaching quickly. In just a few breaths, everyone could hear it clearly.

"What's going on?"

"What is it?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound in doubt, and made various exclamations.

"Don't worry, it's time for us to go to the next floor. Everyone hold your breath and use your internal energy to protect your body." Li Xiaocheng smiled faintly and comforted mysteriously.

"Really?" Zhang Yunfeng asked with a look of surprise.

"Of course it's true. Do you think I would seek death?" Li Xiaocheng replied with a chuckle.

Although he said so, everyone was still on guard secretly. Once they found something wrong, they would flee at any time.

Yu Guihai also made preparations secretly. He could send out internal energy to protect his body at any time, and he could also use Xuanyin spiritual energy at any time when necessary. There was no problem in dealing with general dangers.

And he was sure that as long as Li Xiaocheng was not afraid, he didn't have to worry.

At this time, the rumbling sound was approaching quickly, and the ground under his feet and the surrounding caves began to shake violently, as if some ancient giant beast was rushing towards him at a high speed.

Everyone's face became more and more ugly, but seeing that Li Xiaocheng and Mr. Fan were calm, they did not immediately flee.

Suddenly, a loud noise sounded from the ear, and a violent torrent that filled the entire river cave rushed out of the mist, and hit everyone with overwhelming force.

"What?"

Everyone was shocked, and they all used their internal energy to protect their bodies.

Then they were hit and swallowed by the overwhelming torrent. The powerful impact can even smash rocks. If it is a warrior in the internal energy realm, he may be directly seriously injured or even die under this impact.

However, after all, everyone is a master above the Tongmai realm, so this impact does not pose a threat.

Of course, it is inevitable to be embarrassed.

Yu Guihai couldn't help but roll out when the water hit him. He quickly stabilized his body and looked around with all his eyes.

It was difficult to see in the dark water, but everyone stimulated their internal energy and emitted colorful lights, which was easy for him to see.

Among the crowd, Shesou and Zhang Yunfeng were like him, and they quickly stabilized their bodies and easily went with the flow. The five Tongmai masters were a little flustered and struggled in panic, but they soon calmed down.

Li Xiaocheng was also a master in the late stage of Tongqiao Realm, with six orifices opened and considerable strength.

Fan She was also not panicking at all, and a layer of clear and misty light appeared outside his body, blocking the water flow.

Everyone continued to move forward with the rumbling river water. The underground dark river twisted and turned, sometimes narrow, sometimes wide, rushing down all the way.

After an unknown amount of time, with a rumble, the torrent suddenly poured out from a cave and flew down.

Yu Guihai was thrown out of the rapids with a shock. He looked up and saw a huge cave around him. A few dozen meters below him was a huge pool of water with a radius of several dozen meters. The underground river was gushing out, forming a waterfall and falling into the pool.

"Hah!"

He slapped his palm, followed by the power of the water flow, and spun in the air. With his arms spread, he glided down to the shore of the distant pool like an eagle.

Pah~~

He landed gently on the rocks on the shore and turned around to see that the other people also landed by their own means.

Li Xiaocheng, Fan She, Shesou, and Zhang Yunfeng all landed on the shore as easily as he did.

The four looked at Yu Guihai in surprise. They didn't expect that this unprepossessing guy had such a good body movement.

The remaining five Tongmai Realm masters were unable to break free from the fierce rapids and plunged into the pool. After a long time, they floated up and swam to the shore in a panic.

"Haha, how is it? I didn't lie to you. Now we have reached the second floor." Li Xiaocheng said with a smile.

"Of course we believe in housekeeper Li." Zhang Yunfeng smiled without changing her expression.

"That's good. I hope you can all believe me later. There are many things here that I can't explain to you, but you just need to remember that I will never hurt myself."

The smile on Li Xiaocheng's face faded, and he said solemnly.

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards a dark cave entrance in the distance. Fan She followed closely behind.

Everyone looked at each other and followed.

Yu Guihai looked at the stone walls around him. The passage on the second floor became normal. The cave walls were no longer smooth, but uneven, with bumps and depressions everywhere.

Water marks were often seen in the cracks above the head, dripping down, which looked particularly creepy in the deep cave.

The cave was not long. After walking through a few hundred meters and turning a corner, Yu Guihai saw a blue light coming from the cave entrance in front.

Walking out of the cave, there is a huge underground cave outside. The fog is so hazy that the cave roof and the surrounding boundaries cannot be seen clearly.

"The Yin Qi here is so strong!"

Yu Guihai sighed in his heart.

The surrounding fog contains a strong Yin Qi, which is not much less than the secret realm of the Poisonous Miasma Ridge.

"If it is the third or fourth level, it will be even stronger."

He suddenly thought that if he could find a safe place, he would not have to worry about insufficient Yin Qi when he broke through the Purple Mansion.

At this time, Yu Guihai suddenly had an idea and looked up at the thick fog in front of him.

"Is there a ghost?"

A voice suddenly came to his ear.

Yu Guihai looked in surprise and found that it was Fan She who spoke. His old face was full of solemnity as he looked forward.

Yu Guihai was surprised. He didn't expect that this person could find a ghost so quickly.
