The bottomless chasm was completely covered by thick miasma, and the distance between the rock walls on both sides had shrunk from hundreds of feet wide at the opening of the chasm to less than twenty or thirty feet now.
Yun Yan didn't know how long he would continue to fall, but at least he was not dead yet.
Of course, the jackal who was less than ten feet away from him was not dead, but his current situation was much worse than Yun Yan.
Because Yunyan had seriously injured Jackal's chest before, it was very difficult for him to breathe now. Yunyan had long realized that the miasma in the chasm was poisonous, so he held his breath from the beginning and covered his wounds with soul power. Let the miasma soak into your body.
Jackal was seriously injured and inhaled a large amount of miasma poisonous mist, causing him to gradually develop hallucinations.
"Who are you? Get out of here! Yunyan, you bastard, even if I am a ghost, I will drag you along with me, uh...get out of here, what the hell..."
Hearing the jackal's roar, Yun Yan was sure that the jackal was not dead yet, but his soul aura had become chaotic, and even his mind was a little confused.
Therefore, Yun Yan planned to take back the animal sinew rope and let him fend for himself.
But as soon as he exerted his strength, Jackal immediately became alert and grabbed the rope and yanked downwards. Since Yunyan was in mid-air and had nowhere to use his strength, his body was pulled by Jackal, and the distance between the two of them was reduced. getting closer.
When Yun Yan saw Jackal's current appearance through the miasma less than three feet thick, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
After the jackal's chest was hit hard, the ribs pierced out from his right chest were turning black little by little. Obviously, this was a sign of miasma in his body.
Yunyan also noticed that there was a dark mist emanating from Jackal's eyes, as if the miasma had merged with him.
However, although Jackal's soul power aura is very disordered, the overall strength of his soul power is constantly increasing. What is going on?
At the moment when Yun Yan hesitated, Jackal suddenly waved his hand and attacked Yun Yan head-on. He only heard a sharp and piercing buzzing sound, and five slender and sharp black air blades slashed across the side of Yun Yan's face.
Fortunately, Yun Yan dodged in time, otherwise he would have been hit by these five air blades, and he would have been poisoned by the miasma.
After Yun Yan avoided the jackal's attack, he immediately let go of the animal sinew rope in his hand. He could no longer tangle with the jackal, because if he accidentally triggered the soul barrier at the wound and allowed the miasma to invade his body, then I'm afraid the fate will be exactly the same as that of a jackal.
But the moment Yun Yan let go, the other end of the animal tendon rope was tightly wrapped around his foot.
"Don't you like to deal with me like this? Then I'll let you have a taste of it too!"
Before Yun Yan could react, he was violently thrown to the rock wall on one side by the jackal through the animal sinew rope.
"Bang!"
Yun Yan's body hit the dark and slippery stone wall. Fortunately, Jackal was in mid-air and he had nowhere to rely on, so Yun Yan was not hit hard.
But this way, Yun Yan had the opportunity to touch the rock wall. He ignored the jackal and immediately used the rock wall to slow down his fall.
But when he used his profound energy to grab hold of a raised rock wall, the gravity of the two of them falling together was too strong, and the entire rock formation collapsed instantly, and he failed.
The instinct of survival made Yunyan keep trying. However, the rock walls within the natural chasm were corroded by poisonous mist all the year round and could not bear the load at all. They would break as soon as they were touched.
Yun Yan didn't want to give up, so he took out a long-handled trial weapon from the storage ring and inserted it into the rock wall with all his strength. This time it had some effect.
Due to Yunyan's previous attempts, their falling speed had slowed down a lot. In order to completely get rid of the jackal, Yunyan was about to untie the rope wrapped around his feet, but he found that the weapon inserted into the rock wall was moving at a rapid speed. Corroded extremely quickly.
"Get away! Get away from me..."
The jackal began to talk nonsense again, and he continued to launch soul power attacks into the mist. The powerful soul power slashes were submerged into the miasma and disappeared without a trace.
Yun Yan didn't know exactly what Jackal saw, but the fact that he kept attacking like this crazily showed that those things must have posed a threat to him.
However, Yunyan can determine through soul perception that there is no living thing within tens of feet around here, not even anything that can move.
Jackal kept attacking all around out of fear, which also caused Yun Yan who was connected to him to shake too violently. The long-handled weapon in Yun Yan's hand broke instantly, and they continued to fall into the abyss.
In desperation, Yun Yan used half of the weapon in her hand to hit the jackal's head, but the jackal simply ignored all of Yun Yan's attacks.
The metal blade broke into two pieces the moment it hit the jackal's head. Only then did Yun Yan realize that the jackal's entire body was covered with a thin layer of black crystals.
The hardness of this crystal is no less than that of ordinary low-level magic weapons. Yun Yan's damaged trial weapon only left a slight mark on the black crystal on Jackal's head. Apart from that, he There was no damage.
Upon seeing this, Yun Yan had to give up dealing with the Jackal because he had already vaguely sensed the location of the bottom of the abyss.
In order to get rid of the jackal, Yun Yan wanted to break free from the shackles of the animal sinew rope, but because the jackal was holding on to the other end of the rope, and as soon as he found Yun Yan trying to untie the rope, he would immediately attack Yun Yan.
Yun Yan was forced to give up, because holding his breath for a long time had a great impact on his own actions. At the same time, he had to use his remaining soul power to protect the wound from being invaded by the miasma, which also resulted in him having no more options. Strength to attack the jackal.
However, Yun Yan found that as long as he did not take the initiative to provoke Jackal, he would not become his target.
After realizing this, Yun Yan tried her best to stay calm and deliberately restrained her aura. Sure enough, the jackal began to attack the surrounding fog again.
At this moment, their eyes suddenly lit up, and the miasma surrounding them dissipated instantly. Yunyan discovered that they had passed through the mystery of the miasma. When he lowered his head and looked down, he was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat.
A huge circular pit with a radius of several hundred feet appeared below them. Thousands of corpses were piled up as far as Yunyan could see. It was like a hell on earth, filled with dead bodies everywhere. breath.
Yunyan didn't expect that there would be such a big hole hidden at the bottom of the moat, and that the rock walls less than twenty feet apart would suddenly collapse to both sides at the bottom, forming such a huge underground space.
What also puzzled Yun Yan was that since this place was isolated from the outside world by a thick miasma, why was it so open, as if it were on the surface of the earth with sunlight?
However, these questions flashed through Yun Yan's mind, because he was more concerned about how he could safely fall to the bottom of the pit.
At his current falling speed, even if he tried his best to protect his body, he would still fall half to death.
However, the distance from the time they passed through the miasma fog to the bottom of the pit was only a hundred feet, and they were about to fall to their death at the bottom of the pit in the blink of an eye.
At this time, a soft breath of soul power suddenly came from the bottom of the pit. The power of this power was beyond Yun Yan's imagination. It was difficult for him to understand how anyone in the world could use the power of heaven and earth to such a masterful level.
At the moment when Yun Yan was in a daze, he instinctively used this power to drastically slow down his fall. When they reached a critical point between each other, Yun Yan jumped up again and flew towards the edge of the pit.
Finally, he fell to the ground smoothly, and the jackal recovered his life with him.
Yun Yan looked at the mountains of corpses in front of him, feeling a chill deep in his heart.
"I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of skeletons here. What is the reason why they all died here?"
Just when Yun Yan was shocked by the scene before him, his soul consciousness fell into a trance again. Yun Yan quickly sat down and calmed the soul sea.
At this moment, the jackal behind him took the opportunity to attack Yun Yan, but he saw the jackal raised a pair of sharp claws exuding black aura and slashed straight at the back of Yun Yan's neck.
Seeing that Yunyan is about to die
Unfortunately, a buzz suddenly sounded in the underground space, and immediately, the Jackal's body could no longer move, like a frozen ice sculpture, standing there motionless.
Although Yun Yan was in a state of regulating his breath, his soul consciousness had already awakened when Jackal took action. However, because his life wheel had not been converted yet, he was unable to resist.
But when he heard that buzzing sound, he was also controlled by this powerful soul power.
Yunyan noticed that his body was floating in the air involuntarily. However, when he looked back, he discovered that he was now in a state of soul consciousness, and his body was still sitting calmly on the edge of the pit.
Although the jackal's sharp claws were close at hand and might pierce his throat in the next moment, Yun Yan believed that the jackal could never hurt him again.
So, Yun Yan turned around and let his soul float to the center of the bones in the deep pit. As he got closer to these dense white bones, Yun Yan was surprised to find that there were some other things among these bones.
Obviously, not all the people who died here were human beings, and the shape of some of the skeletons was obviously different from human beings.
But Yun Yan could feel from the Tao Yun inheritance remaining in these skeletons that they indeed had the blood aura of human practitioners.
"Did all human practitioners look like this a long time ago?"
Yun Yan was thinking about this question in his mind, but then he got the answer.
"These strange bones also belong to practitioners in the world, but they are not real humans, but close relatives of humans."
"who are you?"
Yun Yan didn't know if he could make a sound in his current state, but he did really hear someone talking.
"I'm not a human, I'm just a spirit trapped here."
"Spirit? What is spirit?"
"A spirit is a spirit. It is neither a human being, nor a soul, nor a ghost. It is a special existence in this world."
"Oh, so where are you and why can't I see you?"
"That's because you haven't opened your mind's eyes yet, but with your current level of cultivation, it's impossible to open your mind's eyes, so you can only hear my voice."
Yun Yan's understanding of spirits was almost blank. He couldn't even imagine how to define an intelligent existence that was different from the soul body.
However, he continued to ask.
"How many people died here?"
"If each independent practicing individual is counted as one person, then a total of 1,357,206 people have died here, of which 7,381 were the most recent ones. Within a thousand years, people came here to look for me, but unfortunately, they became one of them."
After hearing this, Yun Yan couldn't calm down for a long time. After a while, he asked silently.
"Did you kill all these people?"
"Yes."
"Can you tell me why?"
"Because they all want me."
