Seeing the surroundings changing silently,
Li Qingyan immediately pulled out the sword from his waist and looked around. The firelight from the blade illuminated the surrounding area.
The mind and soul were completely sluggish, and the blood-colored mist that could not be dissolved was as thick as substance. The surging shadows seemed to have unknown objects moving inside. Under the light of the fire, it was scarlet, and the entire cave was like a hell on earth.
Li Qingyan's voice was very soft and alert:
"What is Ma Yuan?"
Xu Yuan quietly stepped back from the middle of the two girls and gently rubbed the Sumeru ring on his fingertips. He was thinking in his heart and explained softly:
"The gathering of ghosts will breed ghost mist, and the abyss is the ghost mist of ghosts."
"."
Hearing this, Li Qingyan glanced around with half-lidded red eyes like red crystals, and slightly tightened the handle of the knife in his hand.
Having fought all year round, she certainly knew about Gui Wu.
After a war, there are thousands of corpses. If left alone, the flesh and blood will accumulate, and over time, ghosts will breed.
If the ghosts gather too much, they will gradually form a black mist that can swallow up all optical fibers.
Within this black mist, some rules can even change. Strange phenomena such as light but no shadow, shadow and no form, etc. cannot be thoroughly studied even if the formation has developed so far.
This ghostly abyss
While thinking,
Li Qingyan's red lips parted slightly, and his voice was serious and cold:
"Do you have any information about this abyss in your dungeon?"
The blood god stone jade pendant on Bai Muxi's chest emits a dazzling red light under the thin purple shirt:
"Every spring equinox, this abyss will continue to spread from the depths of the Blood Nest. If left alone, it will spread to the cave dungeon. But as long as about a thousand living people are sent into this blood mist, the mist will disappear after a few days. It will dissipate on its own."
"What I'm asking is, what's in this abyss?"
"."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Seeing that Bai Muxi was silent, Li Qingyan frowned slightly, and while looking around, he asked:
"You have never explored this abyss in your dungeon for so many years?"
"explored"
Bai Muxi's voice lacked confidence, and her calm voice contained a hint of nervousness:
"We dungeon masters will all enter this abyss to explore before the end is approaching, but no one has ever gone deep and come back alive."
"call"
Li Qingyan took a long breath after hearing this, and did not blame Bai Muxi for anything.
She has already seen what the dungeon is like. The most powerful person in the sky is Bai Muxi, a pseudo-second-grade person. With this kind of cultivation, he can't even get through the Blood Demon Cave, let alone go to the Blood Nest where Jian Yuan is.
It was not Li Qingyan's style to sit back and wait for death. After a moment of silence, she whispered to Bai Muxi:
"I will try to disperse this fog first, and you can protect Changtian."
Halfway through speaking
Li Qingyan seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Yuan, who was looking down in thought, his eyes shining:
"Changtian, you, do you know this abyss?"
"I know."
Xu Yuan responded casually, raised his eyes from his thoughts, and naturally smiled: "Jianyuan is the realm of the White Walkers."
"."
Listening to his casual reply, the look in Li Qingyan's phoenix eyes wanted to kill someone.
This dead man didn't take the initiative to tell such important information. He had to wait for her to ask?
Xu Yuan looked at the bloody mist around him and continued to explain casually:
"However, this abyss is somewhat different from the Dao realm of our human race. It can connect with other ghosts and black death carpets to achieve resonance and continue to spread."
Speaking of this, Xu Yuan paused slightly and smiled slightly:
"But the White Walker without intelligence cannot use the Dao Domain. In other words, the White Walker from the deepest part of the Blood Nest should be here now."
"."
Seeing his indifferent expression as he spoke, Li Qingyan gradually calmed down and hummed softly:
"I thought you would only turn trust into worry."
Xu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed his long hair hanging behind him, smiling casually:
"I am your highness's coach now, so naturally I have to calm down."
"So, you have a way to cope?"
"No."
"."
Li Qingyan clenched the handle of the knife until it creaked.
"Haha, just kidding, of course there is."
The words fell,
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Four heavy special iron boxes fell to the ground, and a burst of dust began to rise on the gravel-strewn curved ground.
Seeing these four iron boxes, Li Qingyan's pupils shrank slightly:
"Changtian, what are you..."
"Just four boxes of source crystal bombs."
Xu Yuan turned his eyes and winked at her: "General of the First Army, has he never seen this little material?"
Li Qingyan frowned and glanced around:
"You should know the power of these four boxes."
It was just one box, and the powerful Mortal Black Snake immediately lost its combat effectiveness. If four boxes were added up.
Xu Yuan met her gaze and smiled calmly:
"When it comes to negotiating, you must first show off the bargaining chip that allows you to die together."
After all,
Xu Yuan turned to look back at Bai Muxi and asked with a smile:
"Xiao Bai, let me ask you a question. Since you don't know what Jianyuan is, why do you want to overthrow the sacrifice and give up the living sacrifice?"
Li Qingyan interrupted Xu Yuan's words:
"This shouldn't be the time to talk."
"Don't interrupt me."
Xu Yuan glanced at Li Qingyan, his eyes undeniable, but then he explained to the assertive Princess Wu Yuan:
"I know the White Walker will be here soon."
"There is such a fierce battle here, and all intelligent creatures know to come and investigate."
"I'm just waiting for it."
"."
There was a moment of silence,
Li Qingyan's phoenix eyes flickered for a moment: "These source crystal bombs can be used as a trump card, but if the wise ghost summons other mortals to come and die, we..."
"Are you done yet?"
"."
Li Qingyan was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"
Xu Yuan stared at her heroic and beautiful face and said word by word:
"I, Xu Changtian, ask you, is it over yet?
"You performed well before, but now that the situation is a little more urgent, your old habits are back again, right?"
"."
Li Qingyan was silent for a moment, and his voice softened a little: "Changtian, I am just giving you advice."
"You're not fucking done, are you!"
Xu Yuan couldn't help his temper and his voice rose slightly:
"I said something, and you contradict me. Is it interesting?
"Now things have gone beyond the plan. If you know the situation is critical, don't question me. I also want to explain every decision I make to you, but do you have time now? If you think there is something wrong with me, you can leave immediately and do what you think you can survive. thing!"
"."
The words fell silent, leaving only the sound echoing in the silent cave.
Bai Muxi looked at Xu Yuan, then at the woman in red with twinkling eyes across from him, and she wisely shut up without saying anything to persuade him.
Looking at the information,
Li Qingyan lowered his gaze in silence and said in a weak voice:
"I know, I'm sorry."
"."
Xu Yuan ignored her apology and left her there. He looked at Bai Muxi and his voice suddenly softened:
"Mu Xi, answer the question I just asked."
"Huh?" Bai Muxi came to her senses.
Xu Yuan smiled softly: "Why give up the living sacrifice?"
Living sacrifice is cruel, but it is the only continued hope for this desperate dungeon.
He didn't believe that Bai Muxi, who was pink and black, could be a virgin.
"Because in a few years, thousands of people will not be able to satisfy the blood nest, and the spread of the abyss will be uncontrollable. Instead of continuing to sacrifice people to consume the strength of the dungeon, it is better to fight to the death."
Bai Muxi's eyes were a little lonely: "But now it seems that these are all Mu Xi's wishful thinking."
Xu Yuan touched his chin, thoughtfully:
"But didn't you say that you can't go deep into the blood nest? How will you know what will happen in the future?"
Bai Muxi's eyes flashed, she stretched out her hand to open her chest, took out the blood-god stone jade pendant glowing with blood, and whispered:
"Back to the young master, this is the Blood God Stone Jade Pendant."
Xu Yuan stared at the jade pendant and nodded: "As expected, I guess this jade pendant is not an inherited item of your dungeon, right?"
Bai Muxi's calm voice was quick:
"Yes, this Blood God Stone Jade Pendant was accidentally discovered by Mu Xi in a dark room seven years ago when she was accompanying the "sacrifice" to escort the living sacrifice. It was also at that time that she discovered through it that Jianyuan had reached a critical point."
"critical point?"
Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Then has this critical point passed?"
Bai Muxi shook her head:
"Not yet, but it should be a matter of one or two years."
Under Li Qingyan's gaze, Xu Yuan raised his hand and stroked her soft hair affectionately:
"Very good. I probably understand this. Please give me the jade pendant."
"good."
Bai Muxi took off the jade pendant and handed it to Xu Yuan without thinking.
Xu Yuan took it and handed it to the breast-wrapped princess beside her:
"Take it."
"."
Li Qingyan took it silently, without asking about the purpose or the reason. He just stared at Xu Yuan with a pair of red eyes, waiting for him to speak.
Seeing her expression, Xu Yuan chuckled:
"Didn't you just ask what you would do if the otherworldly ghost with intelligence summoned the other mortals and came to die?"
"."
Li Qingyan still didn't speak or respond, just stared at him faintly, as if he was autistic.
Xu Yuan said "tsk" with a funny look in his eyes:
"Hey, give me a reaction."
Li Qingyan took a breath and said in a low voice:
"what to do?"
Xu Yuan pointed to the Blood God Stone Jade Pendant in his hand and said in a cold voice:
"Directly threatening to ruin it."
"Oh." Li Qingyan nodded, still not asking why.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan walked up to Li Qingyan, tilted his head and looked at her cold and flawless facial features at close range, raised his hand and poked her slender waist, and asked with a smile:
"Hey, you haven't been scolded even once before, right? Are you angry after being scolded?"
Li Qingyan ignored him, lowered his eyes, and replied businesslikely:
"This matter is my fault, why should I be angry?"
Xu Yuan showed a hint of surprise and said with a smile:
"It's not that you're angry. That means you feel good about being scolded?"
Li Qingyan's hand holding the Blood God Stone tightened slightly, he raised his eyes and squinted: "What did you say?"
"Don't get excited."
Xu Yuan immediately performed the French military salute from his previous life.
When Li Qingyan saw this, he just snorted, but then he heard the smiling voice of the man in front of him: "After all, you didn't respond to what I said just now. If this is too exciting, doesn't it prove that I am right?"
"."
Bai Muxi stared at Li Qingyan in a strange way.
Li Qingyan's expression became calm instead, and the knife in his hand shone with a cold light. After returning it to its sheath, he looked at him calmly:
"Your teasing with me is very boring."
Xu Yuan crossed his chest and touched his chin, looking at her:
"Qingyan, do you know that people who are stabbed in the foot will always pretend to be calm to cover themselves up, and they will also make some unconscious little moves.
"For example, drinking water, picking up things, and so on."
"Put the knife back into its sheath?"
Bai Muxi, who was standing quietly beside her, flashed her beautiful eyes and interrupted at the right moment.
And the next moment,
She lowered her head in Li Qingyan's cold gaze:
"It's Mu Xi who talks too much."
Xu Yuan was speechless. He praised Xiaobai in his heart and scolded:
"It's true that I'm talking too much. My princess won't do these little tricks, especially putting the sword back into the scabbard when the metamorphosis comes."
"bass!"
The red sword was unsheathed again, and Li Qingyan stared at Xu Yuan with the sword in his hand, his eyes a little unkind.
Xu Yuan didn't seem to notice at all. He raised his hand to gently caress her cheek, pulled her hair behind her ear, and laughed softly:
"Why are you so serious? You won't let outsiders know. Even if you don't discover this now, you won't be able to hide it in the future."
Half said,
"Changtian."
Li Qingyan stopped trembling slightly, stared at him, and raised the corners of his lips:
"I have learned a lot about your methods of dealing with women. Since you can't hide it in the future, let's get down to business first."
"."
Looking at her clear and smiling gaze, Xu Yuan also curled his lips.
This woman is really difficult to deal with.
Looking at it, Xu Yuan nodded and pointed at the Blood God Stone Jade Pendant:
"The reason why I asked you to destroy the jade pendant is because the transformed person needs it to get out of trouble as soon as possible."
"Escape?"
Li Qingyan's eyes flashed and he asked: "You mean, that strange ghost is trapped by the formation?"
Xu Yuan nodded and said with a smile:
"This underground palace was set up by the large sects thousands of years ago to study the White Walkers, so naturally they would be put on a leash.
"But it's a pity that our plans are always one step behind the changes. Over the past ten thousand years, many changes must have happened in this underground palace. The underground palace used to study the White Walkers has now become a place where the White Walkers keep human beings in captivity.
"And now that dog leash is about to be broken off, so for that intelligent ghost, there is no need for the dungeon to exist."
"Captivity?" Bai Muxi's eyes were a little dazed.
Xu Yuan lowered his eyes, combining the information from the past life with the information from this life in his mind, and said softly:
"Perhaps since your last so-called Bloodhive Disaster, your dungeon has been captive by the White Walker, using religious White Walker worship to control your thoughts and burn all the practices that can threaten it. , isn’t this what it is?”
Bai Muxi's eyes wandered and she murmured in a low voice:
"But why does it keep us in captivity?"
Xu Yuan glanced at her and said:
"It takes time to break the dog leash set by the Jiantian Pavilion back then, but creatures like the White Walkers will lose their intelligence if they don't eat any living creatures for a long time. You are its food."
Bai Muxi trembled, and suddenly thought of something:
"Then with this blood god stone jade pendant, can you activate the "dog leash"?"
"Forget it."
Xu Yuan shook his head, stared at the jade pendant, and said with a smile: "There are two pieces of this thing. They must be used together to activate the formation, and the other piece is on the other ghost."
Before the words fell,
A cold female voice came from the blood mist:
"Human, you... seem to know me very well?"
