Chapter 229 The Road to the Underworld Is Ahead, No One Can Walk on It
The mine tunnel suddenly became quiet and fell into silence again.
Ji Chen took a look at the attributes, and the killing points had accumulated to 280,000.
He didn't know how many bats he had just killed. According to the average of about 7,000 per bat, there were more than 40 bats.
Ji Chen returned the sword to the sheath and continued to move forward.
He didn't know how long the mine tunnel was. What were the ancients digging for such a huge project?
Spirit stone vein?
Or rare metal vein?
There was a fork in front. Ji Chen stopped and identified it. He found that there were obvious traces of trampling on the ground of one of the passages. Obviously, this passage had the most people walking.
Ji Chen also chose this passage. It was right to choose a passage that many people had walked through. Don't explore those unknown passages easily.
The mine tunnel was complex, winding, and forked. There was no distinction between the main mine tunnel and the secondary mine tunnel.
Ji Chen was almost certain that there was a huge mine vein underneath. These irregular mine tunnels were dug out along the direction of the mine vein when mining, so they were so tortuous and complicated.
Every time he encountered a fork in the road, Ji Chen would choose the mine road that someone had walked through. If he had walked through all of them, he would choose the one with the most traces.
In this way, after walking about thirty miles, stone carvings appeared on the stone wall.
Ji Chen looked carefully and found that the stone carvings were left by people who had strayed into this place. This also proved that his choice was not wrong. This mine cave has existed for a very long time. Many people have strayed into it before, and have explored a real path in this complex maze.
This also explains why the Taoist priest of Tongqingfeng Temple built a Taoist temple here. He must have come in more than once. Perhaps he explored a distance, sensed the danger, and retreated, but did not want others to come in and explore the secrets, so he went to the Demon Suppression Department to apply for approval, and built a Taoist temple here to preach, but actually hid the entrance and dominated this place.
But he did not expect the news to be leaked, which attracted the Corpse Refining Sect.
Ji Chen walked forward while looking at the stone carvings on the wall. These were the words left on the stone wall by those explorers.
[Not lonely on the Yellow Springs Road - Li Suiming]
[The Yellow Springs Road ahead, no living people can walk - Zhang Suitai]
[Don't cross the river, don't ferry, the other side is the destination - Wu Jiashun. ]
[The taste of humans is the most wonderful meal I have ever eaten - Fargo Suisuo]
[Hehehehehehe, my health is thirsty - corpse]
[Do you have money? Lend me a hundred years to spend - cute little rabbit]
[Corpse, unpalatable - corpse]
There are some stone carvings and handwritings at every distance. Ji Chen touches these handwritings and feels the breath of time. Some handwritings exist for at least a thousand years, and the latest ones are four or five hundred years.
Ji Chen is a little confused. Could it be that this mine leads to the underworld?
Did a major force in ancient times accidentally dig up the underworld when mining?
According to the information left by these people, they discovered the Yellow Springs River.
Suddenly, Ji Chen found a new stone carving.
[If there is really a underworld, I want to go and find out - Ding Zhao]
It seems that Ding Zhao and his team have gone deep into it.
Ji Chen thought about it and also left words on the stone wall.
[Destruction or survival, this is a question - great philosopher, great demon king, Nicholas Zhao Si]
After thinking about it, he drew a big square at the back, circled an area, and wrote a sentence inside.
[Advertising space investment]
Then, Ji Chen continued to explore forward.
The front was no longer rock, but soft soil, still dark brown, as if stained with blood.
Ji Chen recalled the scene of hunting bats before. Maybe this dark brown soil was stained with blood and bones.
The further you go, the lower the temperature. After dozens of miles, it becomes icy cold. This is because the yin energy is getting heavier.
Ji Chen also has to be careful. This kind of place with extremely heavy yin energy is most likely to breed evil spirits and evil spirits.
If someone dies here, the body does not decay. After a long time, it will absorb enough yin energy and become an evil corpse.
Ji Chen walked forward and encountered another group of demon bats, which were more powerful than the previous ones. After killing them with overwhelming force, he continued to move forward.
White powder appeared on the ground in front of him, and it squeaked when he stepped on it.
"This is bone powder!"
Ji Chen took a breath of cold air. How many people would have to die to cover the ground with bone powder.
Thinking of the powerful demon bats before, Ji Chen guessed that there must be many people who broke in. They were all killed by bats, or devoured by other powerful creatures, leaving their skeletons weathered.
He continued to move forward on the bone powder, and gradually white bones that had not been completely weathered appeared on the ground, some of which were human, some were monsters, and even some strange creatures.
A great battle had taken place here, and there were traces of the battle on the stone wall.
Knife marks, sword marks, axe marks, and messages on the wall.
[See that skull with horns on its head? I killed it. Isn't that awesome?]
[See that skull with a hole on its head? Damn, that's me]
Looking at this message, Ji Chen was speechless. How crazy must he be. His head was pierced, and he still left two boring messages with his last breath.
Even if you leave something useful, at least it can give some hints and warnings to those who come later.
The mine tunnel was getting colder and colder. There was a whistling wind ahead, and ghosts were everywhere. It seemed that something unclean was moving around in it.
"There can't be ghosts!"
Ji Chen muttered to himself that he was not afraid of ghosts. After all, some unclean things were even scarier than ghosts.
After looking at the codes left by Ding Zhao and others on the wall, Ji Chen had to admire them for being so courageous and still exploring further.
Of course, it's also possible that he was chased by a giant bat and had no choice but to move on.
No matter what, Ji Chen could only continue to explore forward. After the identity token lit up once, it never lit up again, which also proved that Ding Zhao and the others were not in danger. We just might be in trouble.
After marching forward for more than thirty miles, the cold breath became stronger and stronger, like a knife cutting on the skin.
Even when Ji Chen formed the supreme divine body, he could still feel it.
There are more and more dead bones on the ground, and there are even fresh blood stains and messy footprints, all telling that there was a battle here not long ago.
"Is it Ding Zhao and the others?"
"They encountered danger or were attacked by unknown creatures and were injured, so they sent out a distress signal."
This is just Ji Chen's speculation. According to his judgment, there should be evil things in such a sinister place. But along the way, except for the two groups of bats he encountered before, he didn't encounter any other Something evil.
Were they lured away by Ding Zhao and the others?
The mine tunnel ahead is getting wider and wider, but the Yin Qi is also getting stronger and stronger, and the cold is biting.
