Chapter 420: Under the Abyss

When Wu Shidao walked back to the room again, he was holding a brocade bag in his hand. He walked to a table, opened the brocade bag, took out a stack of things that seemed to be some kind of very thin animal skin, and spread the waxy yellow soft animal skin on the table.

Fan Hongjiao, Lu Geng and others had also gathered in front of the table.

Duan Rong also walked over, he stood behind Wang Yue and looked at the table. Wang Yue was short and only reached Duan Rong's chest. Standing there, he did not affect his viewing at all.

The spread of soft waxy yellow animal skin almost took up half of the table, and there were densely packed crisscross lines and markings on it.

Wu Shidao pointed at several places in the picture and said in a deep voice: "The periods of these frequently visited places are not quite right."

In fact, this is also the reason why Wu Shidao did not immediately agree when Fan Hongjiao first mentioned it.

Fan Hongjiao looked at the feng shui map, frowned slightly, and said: "In this case, we can only wait at this stream."

Lu Geng said: "Waiting depends on luck. If you are unlucky, you may not meet him even if you wait for two or three days."

Fan Hongjiao said: "If you are afraid of waiting, you can not go."

Lu Geng was choked by Fan Hongjiao and couldn't speak for a long time.

Wu Shidao turned his head to look at Duan Rong. Waiting was obviously not a good choice, but Fan Hongjiao seemed to want to take Duan Rong down earlier, so she would rather wait by the stream.

Fan Hongjiao did this, not all because she wanted to take care of Duan Rong. In fact, when Zhu He left, he asked Fan Hongjiao to take Duan Rong to the Dark Forest to experience it earlier.

She was just following her master's orders!

Fan Hongjiao was the senior sister of several people after all. Since she had made up her mind, Lu Geng, Wang Yue and others could only obey.

After discussing the direction of sneaking into the Dark Forest, several people prepared themselves and set off. Duan Rong asked Wang Yue what he needed to prepare, and Wang Yue told him that he didn't need to prepare anything, just follow them when the time comes.

About an incense stick later, they met again at the door of the meeting hall. After everyone arrived, Fan Hongjiao led them along the corridor and turned down the attic.

When they reached the first floor of the attic, Duan Rong originally thought that they would leave the attic, but he saw Fan Hongjiao suddenly push open a rather hidden door.

Behind that door, there were stairs that continued to extend downwards.

They were already on the first floor of the attic. If they went down further, wouldn't they enter the interior of the mountain?

Duan Rong frowned slightly, but saw that the others all looked calm.

Follow them through the door and down the stairs.

The stairs went down, and it was dark, as if leading to the endless underworld.

Lu Geng, who was walking at the back, had already taken out the fire starter and lit the torch that had been prepared long ago.

The first place was still a wooden staircase like the one in the attic. As Duan Rong walked, he found that the steps under his feet had turned into hard stone steps.

The walls on both sides were also moss-covered stone walls.

None of them spoke, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty space. Just like that, they kept walking, as if time had stopped.

Except for the deep stone steps, there was no reference, and it was not clear how far they had walked in the dark stone steps.

Just as they walked, just when Duan Rong was a little flustered, there was suddenly a ball of light in front of them.

At this moment, Duan Rong heard a few sighs around him. It turned out that not only he was flustered, but the others should not have walked for the first time, but they still felt flustered.

This is probably a physiological reaction. In such an unchanging tunnel, they kept walking, and slowly they would have an illusion that they would always walk like this...

They walked along the stone steps and walked into the ball of light in front.

It was a small stone room, with dense animal patterns carved on the four walls. Some of the animal heads looked ferocious, and under the light of the fire, they looked quite scary.

There was a haggard old man sitting cross-legged on a cushion in the corner.

They walked into the stone room, and Fan Hongjiao looked at the old man and smiled, "Mr. Yi, have you been guarding this door these days?"

The old man raised his eyelids, and his cloudy eyes swept over the few people coldly. Duan Rong felt a chill in his heart when he saw that look.

The old man locked onto Duan Rong and asked, "Who is that boy? I don't recognize him!"

Fan Hongjiao said, "He is a new disciple from Yunfu Peak." Fan Hongjiao turned around and said, "Duan Rong! Bring your sect's cloud certificate to the senior for review."

"No need!" the old man sighed, "It's not a good place. Go."

Although the old man said so, Duan Rong clearly felt a powerful spiritual consciousness that instantly penetrated his Dantian. The old man obviously still checked his cultivation.

Fan Hongjiao respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Xie Yi!"

The old man hummed softly with his nose, then closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

Fan Hongjiao brought a few people to a stone wall beside the old man. She suddenly took out a rather strange-shaped key from her waist and inserted the key into something.

Duan Rong clearly saw Fan Hongjiao insert the key into the mouth of a ferocious beast head on the stone wall, and then turn it, and the stone door in front of him opened with a bang.

Fan Hongjiao pulled out the key and entered the stone door, and the others followed him, with Lu Geng holding a torch and walking at the back.

Inside the stone door was a long dark corridor.

Duan Rong walked between Wang Yue and Lu Geng, staring forward, and saw that the end of the corridor was dark, as if there was no end in sight.

Duan Rong sighed lightly, thinking that he would have to walk for a long time this time.

But this time, after only walking a few hundred meters, he had reached the end of the corridor.

They turned into a certain place at the end of the corridor.

This stone chamber was surprisingly large, and the ceiling was also very high. The whole stone chamber was long and narrow, and it gave people a sense of sudden enlightenment as soon as they walked in.

The most surprising thing was that there was a whistling sound in this space, blowing the torch in Lu Geng's hand, making it rustle.

Duan Rong's eyes froze. How could there be a sound of wind in this claustrophobic space?

He soon found the clue. He saw that there was a dark crack on the floor of this long and narrow stone chamber, and the whistling sound of wind was blowing in from that crack.

In this narrow and long space, thick black iron rings were fixed on the stone wall at equal distances, and on the iron rings, iron chains as thick as a child's arm were tied.

The iron chain was fixed on the stone wall, but it stretched into the dark gap where the wind blew out.

At this time, the other people had already stood in front of an iron chain, but Duan Rong was still stunned at the entrance of the stone room, digesting the shocking and strange scene in front of him.

Fan Hongjiao shook the iron chain in his hand and said, "Little Junior Brother, come and grab an iron chain. Slide down from this iron chain and you will reach the dark forest."

Duan Rong heard this and walked over, stood beside Fan Hongjiao, and reached out to grab a cold iron chain.

Fan Hongjiao told him, "Keep sliding down until your feet touch the ground."

After Fan Hongjiao finished speaking, he suddenly jumped into the dark gap and was instantly swallowed by darkness.

Then, Wu Shidao and Wang Yue almost sank into the dark gap together.

Lu Geng glanced at Duan Rong, said nothing, swung the torch in his hand, and threw it to Duan Rong's feet, then grabbed the iron chain and jumped into the dark gap.

The torch fell at Duan Rong's feet, and was blown by the strong wind in the gap, making a whistling sound.

At this time, he was the only one left in this space.

Duan Rong grabbed the iron chain and took a look at the gap at his feet. The gap was like the big mouth of a giant beast, slightly opened a crack, but the inside was bottomless.

Duan Rong took a breath, still grabbed the iron chain, and jumped down.

The iron chain in his hand was smooth and cold. Duan Rong slid down slowly along the iron chain. He could feel that Fan Hongjiao and the others were no longer around, and they were obviously sliding down at a faster speed.

No mistakes in one sentence, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!

Duan Rong's vision gradually adapted to the darkness, and he could roughly recognize objects in this dark environment.

He could see the iron chain not far away from him, shaking violently. Duan Rong knew that this was caused by Fan Hongjiao's rapid sliding down.

In front and behind him were dark stone walls. He seemed to be in a crack deep underground.

After adapting to the environment for a while, Duan Rong's mentality finally stabilized a little. With a thought, his consciousness suddenly released. He found that this crack did not seem to be short, and its length had exceeded the coverage of his consciousness.

Under the coverage of his consciousness, Duan Rong clearly sensed that several other iron chains nearby were shaking violently.

Obviously, they were all sliding down quickly!

Duan Rong's eyes condensed, and he began to slide down quickly. His hand suddenly loosened, and his body immediately fell down. After a few feet, the speed had made Duan Rong a little breathless. He grabbed the iron chain suddenly, and then he saw that the iron chain in his hand also shook violently.

Duan Rong kicked his body suddenly, took a breath, and then let go again, and his body fell down again.

After an unknown amount of time, Duan Rong pulled his body again, and his body was like a willow swaying in the wind as the iron chain in his hand shook violently.

He stared down, and saw that there was a bottomless darkness under his feet, and the violently shaking iron chain seemed to lead to the underworld.

Fan Hongjiao, Wu Shidao, Lu Geng, and Wang Yue had already landed on a piece of grass emitting a faint light. On the black stone wall behind them, several iron chains as thick as children's arms hung from a high place.

Wang Yue clapped his hands and said, "How long do you think it will take for Junior Brother to come down?"

Fan Hongjiao snorted and said, "He's definitely better than you! The first time you came, the three of us waited for you here for three hours!"

Wang Yue said dissatisfiedly, "Senior sister, why do you remember my ugly deeds most clearly and always bring them up to criticize me? Don't look at Junior Brother's strong appearance, he may not be better than me? Let's find a place to rest. Maybe we have to wait for a long time!?"

"I don't think it's necessary." Master Wu said, "Look at how violently that iron chain is shaking. I estimate that it won't be long before Junior Brother comes down."

Wang Yue turned his head and saw that the iron chain next to Fan Hongjiao's was shaking violently.

Although Wang Yue was the least experienced of the four, he had been in Yunfu Peak for several years, and he had come down to this dark forest countless times. He knew exactly what the iron chain shaking meant.

The shaking level showed that Duan Rong was falling at a speed close to the limit.

Fan Hongjiao looked at the chain and said with a smile: "How is it? What did I say? Don't deny it, Wang Yue, you are just a chicken guts! How can my junior brother be like you?"

Wang Yue's face flushed, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

Duan Rong was falling, and suddenly he felt that the wind blowing across his cheeks seemed to be slightly damp, which was a little different from the dry wind along the way.

Duan Rong's heart moved, there was a change, was it almost there?

He still remembered that when Fan Hongjiao jumped down, he told him to slide down until his feet landed.

Duan Rong grabbed the iron chain and hung himself, looking down at his feet, he seemed to see a faint light in the far distance of the endless darkness.

A touch of joy suddenly appeared in his heart.

Although the light seemed to be far away, he had already seen it faintly.

Duan Rong's body was suddenly filled with a burst of joy, and his hands loosened, letting his body fall down...

After repeating this for a long time, Duan Rong felt that the wind blowing across his cheeks was full of moisture, no longer dry, but blowing on his face with a hint of tenderness, and there was already a certain smell in the wind.

The smell was very unique. It was hard to say whether it was pleasant or unpleasant, but it was a strange smell he had never smelled before.

Duan Rong looked at the distant light under his feet again.

The light seemed to be closer, at the end of the darkness, like a twinkling galaxy.

Duan Rong suddenly let go, and his body fell again, but this time as his body fell faster and faster, he saw that breathing was already difficult, but Duan Rong did not pull his body, and suddenly began to operate the skills, holding his breath and letting his body continue to fall.

The speed was getting faster and faster, and the corners of his clothes and cuffs seemed to be torn apart, snapping randomly. The originally soft and humid wind was like a knife, scraping his face painfully.

But Duan Rong still held his breath and let his body continue to fall.

Seeing that the dim light galaxy was hundreds of meters below his feet, Duan Rong's body fell at this time. The speed was already a shadow, and the sound of the wind passed by his ears, making an amazing noise.

Duan Rong fell like a meteorite hitting the ground, and fell into the dim light galaxy.

Just as he was about to land, Duan Rong suddenly jumped up, kneeled down and hugged his head in mid-air. The whole person was like a ball, and the heaven and earth energy in his dantian instantly swelled, like a thin film, wrapping a layer outside his body.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, a black ball hit the ground next to the stone wall, and grass and dust flew everywhere.

Fan Hongjiao, Wu Shidao, Lu Geng, and Wang Yue, who were waiting there, were all shocked!

A figure jumped out in the grass and dust flying everywhere. It was Duan Rong who arrived last.

Duan Rong smiled at them, and saw that the grass and dust beside him had already dispersed, but there was a large pit underground, which was obviously created by him just now.

The four people looked at Duan Rong in a daze, but Duan Rong clasped his fists and smiled: "Senior Sister Fan, three senior brothers! Sorry for waiting! Duan Rong is late!"
