Chapter 66 Back to the Underground
Chapter 66: Return to the underground (third update)
It fell silently from the back of the white-haired ghost bat. Feng Ruo's eyes instantly stared at the huge wooden door of the Dead Wood Castle. This wooden door has always been opened and closed from the inside and cannot be opened outside!
Feng Ruo didn't know whether the guards of the castle and many exiles closed the door after evacuating this place? But now he was sure that the door must have been closed inside!
He couldn't get in! Even if he used the Phantom Sword to attack, it was the same. Although it was a wooden door, it was stronger than the iron. Even when facing the daily impact of the beast tide, it was still unmoved!
With a sigh, Feng Ruo took out the rusty flying sword from the storage belt casually. Now he can only hope for this inconspicuous flying sword!
After observing around, Feng Ruo did not take action from the position of the wooden door, but estimated it accurately and then cut it down from a position more than ten feet away on the right side of the wooden door!
"Swish!"
Feng Ruo hardly spent too much effort, and the rusty flying sword inserted it into it like cutting tofu!
"Tsk tsk! So sharp! Is this the power of the flying sword?"
Feng Ruo sighed and thought, the flying sword must not be able to exert its strongest power now, but it can treat this extremely strong dead wood castle like tofu. This is really beyond his imagination. I really don’t know what the identity of the skeleton in the underground cave is? Why was the person who killed him willing to give up this sharp flying sword?
At this moment, while thinking about it, Feng Ruo's movements did not stop. After only half a cup of hot tea, he used the broken flying sword to cut a hole in the castle that was enough for him to enter and exit. Of course, during the cutting process, he finally confirmed that the castle was made of a huge dead tree!
He drilled into the hole, and then Feng Ruo carefully blocked the hole, and then he turned his ears and sounded.
However, the dark castle was as quiet as death, and no sound could be heard! As for Qianshan who had come in before, Batian and others were even missing!
Feng Ruo did not dare to be careless, so he first unsealed the white-haired ghost bat and let it fly in the entire castle hall first because in this darkness, it would not have any obstacles at all.
Soon, the white-haired ghost bat flew back, and there was no one in the castle!
He took a light breath to relieve the tension in his heart. Feng Ruo then held the flying sword and carefully touched forward. Although the white-haired ghost bat has confirmed that there is no one in the hall, there are four deep passages in the hall. God knows if there will be any ambush there?
So Feng Ruo did not dare to take out the luminous beads, and could only move forward bit by bit based on his previous memory!
Soon, Feng Ruo came to the fourth passage, which was the passage leading to the two underground floors of the Dead Wood Ancient Castle. At that time, he just explored here, and was stopped by an ancient castle guard!
But now, it was still pitch black. Feng Ruo used his magic power and listened to him for a long time, but there was no movement at all!
After hesitating for a moment, Feng Ruo finally took out the luminous bead. With the light of the luminous bead, he could see two dead bones more than ten feet in front of him at a glance!
Feng Ruo didn't care much at first, but when he walked in, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He took the light of the luminous bead and immediately knew where the problem was!
Because there are no scars on these two dead bones, and the surface of the dead bones actually presents an extremely unique silver-white light, which looks a bit similar to the huge skeleton in an underground cave!
"Are they poisoned the Wood Demon?"
Feng Ruo was secretly in his heart. He had heard of a wooden demon appearing near the Dead Wood Castle before. He thought it had emerged from the entrance of the underground cave, but now it seemed that the wooden demon obviously appeared from the inside of the Dead Wood Castle!
However, there is another thing that makes Feng Ruo very surprised. If the wooden demon really appeared from the inside of this ancient castle before, why did the top leaders of the five major sects not come here to observe? Or was the truth of this matter misled from the beginning?
Thinking of this, Feng Ruo continued to move forward, and soon he came to the corner where he was sealed. However, at this time, a huge hole had been forcibly broken by someone. Judging from the traces on it, it was done by the cultivator! Instead of what he had guessed before, the wood demon! However, there were traces of the formation on it, which should have been forcibly broken by someone!
After passing through this hole, there are a long corridor. At the end of this corridor, there are several skeletons that are obviously poisoned by the dead wood, but these skeletons are covered with dust, which is obviously old!
After coming out of this corridor, there is another spacious hall, with a very similar layout to the upper floor, but now it is a mess. Feng Ruo can even imagine the noisy and bustling scene when the exiles were crowded with exiles!
Qianshan was still not seen in the second floor of the ancient castle, and Batian and others. Feng Ruo did not stop for too long, and then he carefully walked towards the third underground floor of the ancient castle. However, at this time, he vaguely heard a little "tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-t
The sound was extremely weak, and it sounded like an hallucination!
"Spiritual Spring? That's right! It must be the spiritual spring on the third floor of the castle!"
But just as Feng Ruo was about to continue moving forward, he suddenly found that two corpses appeared on the passage ahead. They were Batian's two subordinates. What was particularly strange was that there were still no wounds on their bodies!
"Wooden Demon?"
Feng Ruo's eyes suddenly condensed! He really couldn't understand the intentions of Qi Qianshan and Batian. Even though he knew that there was a wood demon here, he still rushed here! Could it be that there was something precious in front that could make them ignore the danger of the wood demon?
After walking past the two corpses, Feng Ruo immediately entered the third underground floor of the castle. To his surprise, there was an extremely bright luminous bead here!
Under the light of this luminous bead, Feng Ruo could clearly see the situation here. First, in the center of the hall, there was a spiritual spring half a foot square, and the "tick-tick" sound of water came from something similar to a tree root above the spiritual spring!
Feng Ruo observed carefully for a while and finally confirmed that it was the root of the tree, and the water source of the spiritual spring also came from the root of the tree!
But what surprised Feng Ruo the most was that a huge hole appeared in a corner of the third floor of the castle, and under the hole were dense tree roots!
"Underground cave! As expected! It turns out that Qianshan, Batian and others went to the underground cave! In fact, I should have thought that the third floor of this dead wood castle should be closest to the underground cave!"
Thinking of this, Feng Ruo rushed down with the white-haired ghost bat without hesitation. He was very familiar with the underground cave. In this environment, it should be the easiest to kill Boss Xing and others without knowing it!
Of course, the prerequisite is that Feng Ruo had to find the traces of Boss Xing and others!
As soon as he entered this underground cave, the white-haired ghost bat immediately screamed excitedly, after all, this is its most familiar place.
"White Hair! Don't scream! Find out the traces of those people for me!"
Feng Ruo sat on the back of the white-haired ghost bat and ordered softly, after all, the roots of trees are growing in the underground cave. He could not do it if he wanted to find Qianshan, Batian and others. He could only hope for the ability of the white-haired ghost bat!
A "squeak" scream, but the white-haired ghost bat rushed directly downwards until it fell hundreds of feet in one breath. However, it slowed down. It looked a little scared when it looked, very similar to the silver armored spider when he saw the skeleton that day!
At the end of his life, Feng Ruo had to seal the white-haired ghost bat, and then he walked downwards by himself!
However, Feng Ruo soon discovered that the environment here was very different from the one he saw that day. First of all, the place where he was located was only a few hundred feet from top to bottom, but he dropped by more than five hundred feet here and did not see the ground. From this we can see that the terrain and landforms in this underground cave are also different!
Secondly, although the roots here also emit a faint light, for some reason, they always give people a very gloomy feeling. Feng Ruo even had an illusion that these dense roots seemed to be alive, staring at him tightly!
No need to try it, Feng Ruo also knew that there must be a large number of pure innate wood evil in the roots of these trees. If he hadn't been very sure of fusion of innate wood evil now, he would have promised to turn around and run away!
"Strange! What did Qianshan, Batian and others come here to do?"
Feng Ruo said with a headache that he had completely lost the traces of those people now. He could only roughly judge Qianshan from the white-haired ghost bat's downward flight just now, and the people of Batian should go downward!
"Okay! Just come here to relax!"
After hesitating for a while, Feng Ruo continued to walk downwards, but the more he walked downwards, the more strange his feelings became stronger. He even suspected that if this continues, the surrounding tree roots will start to encircle him!
And at this moment, Feng Ruo suddenly found a tree root cut by a sword weapon, and the cut on it was very fresh!
"They are nearby!"
Feng Ruo didn't care about the strange tree roots for a moment, so he continued to climb down carefully. After he fell for a while, he finally found that the ground had finally appeared below. According to his estimate, from here to the third floor of the castle, it was probably at least a thousand feet away!
However, Feng Ruo did not rush to jump down the ground at this time because he found that there were many small puddles on the ground, which were completely covered with dark blue liquid, but he had never seen this thing before!
In addition, he found a woman's body on the ground not far away. If he remembered correctly, he should be Qianshan's subordinate!
Chapter completed!
