Everyone was having trouble walking in the dark passage, but now two people were crammed into the same place, making the already narrow passage even more crowded.
Cheng Ge and Yun Yan were closely connected to each other at this time. If she hadn't instinctively put her arms in front of her chest, Yun Yan might have plunged into Cheng Ge's gentle land.
But despite this, Yun Yan still couldn't help but put her hand on Cheng Ge's chest. If such an action were done in broad daylight, Yun Yan would definitely be beaten to death by Cheng Ge.
However, when Cheng Ge felt Yun Yan's breath close at hand, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot.
"What do you want to do?"
Everyone who heard this was stunned. Fortunately, no one could see clearly what the two of them looked like now, otherwise, Lu Yingjie would definitely be the first to explode on the spot.
But Cheng Ge's words made Yun Yan a little confused. If it weren't for her strong strength and special status, Yun Yan would have started to curse her.
But just as Yun Yan hesitated, Cheng Ge continued.
"Let me go."
At this time, everyone was completely shocked. Lu Yingjie, who was following behind, shouted sharply.
"You brat, what are you doing?"
Meng Zirou didn't care when she heard this and immediately spoke up to defend Yun Yan.
"Why are you yelling? Let's ask about the situation first."
Then, she asked Yun Yan again.
"Master Yun, what on earth are you doing?"
Realizing that the situation was about to get out of control, Yun Yan forced down the discomfort in her soul and said in a deep voice.
"Master Demon Lord, please calm down. You must not ignite this core fire stone now."
After hearing this, Cheng Ge realized that Yun Yan was coming for the core flint stone in her hand. In order to relieve the embarrassment, Cheng Ge couldn't help but let go of his hands, handed the core flint stone to Yun Yan and asked.
"Why?"
Yun Yan breathed a sigh of relief after taking the Core Fire Stone, and then explained.
"This place has been sealed for tens of thousands of years, and there are corpses and remains everywhere. Sect Leader Xie smashed them all in order to move forward. At this time, the air is filled with a special gas that will burn immediately if it encounters an open fire.
At the same time, this passage is narrow and claustrophobic in front and back. If there is a sudden high temperature of open fire and the air generated by the instant expansion cannot be discharged, everyone may have to sleep here with these withered bones. "
Everyone was shocked when they heard Yun Yan's explanation, but Cheng Ge still asked with some doubts.
"How do you know this?"
Yun Yan sighed and replied.
"Because I am a weapon refiner, and I have exploded the furnace several times before when I was refining animal bone weapons."
"ah?"
Now everyone had no choice but to believe Yun Yan's statement, and listened to Xie Yiming's calm words.
"As far as I know, weapon refiners are indeed exposed to some very special phenomena of weapon refining. Since Mr. Yun is so sure that open flames cannot appear in the passage, it is best for everyone to be careful."
After hearing Xie Yiming's instructions, everyone nodded silently. After all, no one wanted to die here.
Yun Yan saw that everyone had finally cleared up the misunderstanding, so he slowly retreated. However, in the process, there was still inevitable physical friction between him and Cheng Ge, which made Cheng Ge make a strange sound for a time. .
It seems that no matter how powerful a practitioner is, when she is in a restrained state, she can never get rid of the instinctive reaction originating from her heart.
In order not to be resented by Cheng Ge, Yun Yan whispered as she retreated behind Cheng Ge.
"Junior, I'm rude, I hope you can forgive me, Lord Demon Lord."
Cheng Ge didn't want to blame Yun Yan at all, because if he hadn't taken action in time, he would have caused a catastrophe. In the final analysis, this matter was due to the fact that the sea monster clan has lived in the waters for a long time and did not know much about open fire on land. reason.
At the same time, Cheng Ge did not expect that the Core Fire Stone would be so dangerous if used improperly, so she quite admired Yun Yan's vigilant and courageous character.
So Cheng Ge responded softly.
"It's okay, thanks for reminding me."
After hearing this, Yun Yan finally put his heart into his heart. It seemed that Cheng Ge was not angry, so he didn't have to worry. After entering the ruins, Cheng Ge would find an opportunity to take revenge on him.
However, Xie Yiming sighed at this time.
"It turns out there is a trap in this passage. I almost got caught just now. Everyone, please be careful next time."
This time Cheng Ge answered first.
"Then please thank the sect leader."
After hearing this, Lu Yingjie was not to be outdone, so he followed suit.
"How can this kind of junk that has been buried for tens of thousands of years threaten a peak-level Sword King? I think as long as Sect Master Xie is willing to take action, all these so-called traps will be in vain."
Although Lu Yingjie was mocking Xie Yiming, everyone knew very well that his words were clearly meant for everyone to hear, but now he is probably the only one who is willing to stand by his side.
Xie Yiming didn't want to have any more unnecessary arguments with Lu Yingjie. What he was most concerned about now was how to remove the steel blade blocking the passage.
Fortunately, through Xie Yiming's constant testing, he finally discovered the weakness of the steel blade. So, Xie Yiming used his fingers as swords and shot the thick and sharp sword energy through his fingertips to the most vulnerable part of the steel blade.
There was just a "bang" sound, and the steel blade blocking the passage was shattered by Xie Yiming's strong sword energy. Then he continued to crawl forward, and the others followed.
In this way, the seven of them continued to move forward in the narrow and dark passage. Yunyan discovered several times along the way that some of the people who were literally shattered to pieces seemed to be cultivators of the demon clan.
The reason Yun Yan was able to make such a judgment was because he had previously stayed in a mountain of dry bones for a full year.
But just when Yun Yan was wondering why these demon cultivators died here, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something strange about Cheng Ge in front of him.
At the same time, Yun Yan was surprised to find that he could clearly sense the flow of Cheng Ge's soul power, especially when the other party used a magical weapon.
What puzzled Yun Yan was that Cheng Ge was putting all the bones belonging to the demon cultivators into his storage of magic weapons.
"Is this the tradition of the Kraken clan?"
Although Yun Yan did not ask Cheng Ge directly, he had already guessed the outcome. Therefore, Yun Yan tried to slow down his progress. He wanted to leave Cheng Ge enough time to collect the remains of his ancestors.
However, Yun Yan's hesitation made Lu Yingjie feel dissatisfied, and he could only hear him urging Yun Yan.
"What's going on with you kid? Why are you so slow all of a sudden? Could it be that with such a small distance, you kid turned into a soft-footed shrimp?"
Being urged by Lu Yingjie, Yun Yan felt a little headache because he didn't know how to explain to Lu Yingjie. At this moment, Cheng Ge finally spoke.
"I don't want to climb too fast."
After hearing this, Lu Yingjie not only did not understand what Cheng Ge meant, but instead said with jealousy.
"Why, sister Cheng Ge, do you like this guy crawling on top of you?"
After hearing this, everyone was stunned, and the entire passage fell into deathly silence again.
Lu Yingjie just spoke in a hurry. He didn't mean to express anything, but the problem was that his words suddenly made everyone think of some inexplicable things.
At the same time, everyone has noticed Lu Yingjie's coveting towards Cheng Ge from the very beginning. Therefore, even a fool can guess what everyone is thinking now.
Lu Yingjie didn't realize that he had completely angered Cheng Ge, because as the demon master, Cheng Ge didn't want to be humiliated like this.
What's more, women from the Siren Clan are extremely cautious about matters between men and women, so it's even less likely for her to tolerate Lu Yingjie's nonsense.
"If you dare to say another word, I will ask Elder Wu to kill you immediately!"
Hearing Cheng Ge’s words
After speaking, everyone suddenly felt a cold murderous intention drifting through them, and Wu Fengshan, who was following Lu Yingjie, immediately replied.
"My men are always waiting for the Lord's orders."
When Wu Fengshan said this, Lu Yingjie suddenly felt a cold wind blowing behind his butt. He had a very bad feeling. In order to relieve the chill in his heart, he had to beg Cheng Ge for mercy.
"Sister Cheng Ge, don't get me wrong. I have no other intentions. Since you don't want to climb so fast, I won't rush you anymore."
After speaking, Lu Yingjie pointed his finger at Yun Yan and said coldly.
"You kid, crawl slower, don't hit Sister Cheng Ge's butt again."
"you!"
After hearing this, Cheng Ge almost asked Wu Fengshan to take action, but fortunately Yunyan spoke up in time to persuade him. Xiu Shuzhu
"Master Demon Lord, please calm down. This junior will be extra careful now and will not bump into senior again."
Cheng Ge finally didn't lose her mind after hearing this. She said after forcing down the anger in her heart.
"I have remembered what happened just now, and we will talk about it after we leave here."
"Well......"
Yun Yan didn't know if what Cheng Ge said included him, but after leaving here, he still had to be extremely careful. After all, he couldn't afford to offend any of these people.
In this way, the group of them continued to move forward. Although this passage was only a few hundred feet long, the further they moved forward, the more bones accumulated in the passage.
Xie Yiming had to slow down his progress because he had to try his best to pocket all the lost magic weapons without leaving any trace.
At the same time, Cheng Ge also had enough time to collect the remains of his ancestors, and Yun Yan had long noticed Xie Yiming's abnormality. After all, he was an weapon refiner, so how could he not feel the fluctuations in the soul power of unique magic weapons that kept appearing around him? arrive.
However, in order to avoid unnecessary complications, Yun Yan deliberately released his soul power to interfere with other people's judgment, so that at least everyone would not conflict in the passage.
But just as Yun Yan was thinking about it, Xie Yiming suddenly said to everyone.
"We're almost there, there's light ahead."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear Meng Zirou sigh softly.
"Finally, we're almost there. It's so dirty here that I have ashes all over my body."
Lu Yingjie also said at this time.
"Then crawl faster. Once you get in, you don't have to stay in this damn place."
However, just as Lu Yingjie finished speaking, Yun Yan suddenly felt something bad, because he found that the stone slab under him was separating to both sides.
At this critical moment, Yun Yan immediately stretched out his arms and pressed them on both sides of the passage. At the same time, his two feet also pressed against the stone walls on both sides of the passage in the same way, and supported himself.
However, Yunyan's ability to react in such a timely manner does not mean that others can too. After all, not everyone can always remain vigilant in the dark.
Therefore, before Yun Yan could figure out what was happening in the passage, he suddenly felt someone holding his right arm and constantly pulling him downwards.
Yun Yan was so anxious that she didn't think much about it. He grabbed the arm that was pulling him back and tried to save him.
But when Yun Yan let go of his right arm supporting his body, his body that could barely maintain stability suddenly lost its balance. In addition, the body he grabbed was completely suspended in the air, and the opponent's weight was far higher than that of an ordinary person. Therefore, Yunyan was inevitably dragged downwards by it.
Only then did Yun Yan vaguely hear a few calls for help coming from above his head. Obviously, he was not the only one who had suffered an accident.
However, just when Yun Yan was extremely nervous and looked around to find a way to save himself as soon as possible, the person he caught tightly hugged his arm and spoke reluctantly into his ear.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
