Chapter 110

Cheng Hui looked at the dark abyss below, and suddenly a strange thought came to his mind. Although the tests left by this predecessor were completed on the steps, they were actually not dangerous.

Not to mention that the steps are wide enough to accommodate several people, the surrounding air walls are enough to ensure that people inside will not fall.

So the question is, since the test process is safe, why do we need this abyss below?

It's not meant to scare people.

He told Lin Qingyang about his discovery. Lin Qingyang had similar ideas, so the two decided to go down and find out.

They returned to the stone platform, and Zeng Ji, who had just stepped onto the platform, was so frightened that he jumped back onto the steps.

Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang were stunned. They didn't expect this result.

Before, the two were worried about how to face Zeng Ji, but now, Zeng Ji's initiative to give in has directly solved the problem.

"Why did he run away?" Cheng Hui asked Lin Qingyang in a low voice.

Lin Qingyang glanced at Zeng Ji. Zeng Ji was as calm as before, except for a hint of fear in his eyes.

Lin Qingyang understood. He was probably frightened by Huineng's miserable state, but he didn't realize that Huineng's misfortune was entirely his own fault. Cheng Hui's magic circle itself wasn't that powerful. Especially if someone as cautious as Zeng Ji entered the formation, the formation would at most trap them, not harm them at all.

But it was better this way. Only he and Cheng Hui could hear what Zeng Ji and Huineng said before. In the eyes of outsiders, Zeng Ji was still a Jindan cultivator of the Corpse Puppet Sect. If Lin Qingyang took action against him in advance, it would be easy for others to catch him. But if he took action first, both of them would be in danger.

Keeping distance between the two sides is actually the best way to deal with it.

Cheng Hui ignored Zeng Ji's actions. In front of Zeng Ji, he rearranged a magic circle and then fixed a rope ladder on the stone platform. He carried Lin Qingyang on his back and slowly climbed down the rope ladder.

Zeng Ji's eyes flashed when he saw their actions, and several people nearby were also looking at them with curiosity.

"Do you think he will follow us later?" Lin Qingyang lay on Cheng Hui's back, biting his ear and whispered.

Cheng Hui only felt numbness in his ears. The hot breath exhaled by Lin Qingyang made him shrink his neck involuntarily, and his entire ears turned red.

"Don't make trouble." He scolded softly, "I guess so."

Although he didn't know what Zeng Ji's purpose was in entering the ancient tomb, he could guess that it was definitely not a simple one. Since he had already decided to betray the Corpse Puppet Sect, he must gain enough benefits from this exploration.

It is conceivable that he will follow later to find out what is going on.

"What a coincidence, I guess so." Lin Qingyang smiled, raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of the stone platform, his dark eyes showing a smile that did not reach his eyes.

Zeng Ji's late Jindan cultivation level was a huge threat to both of them. The other party's previous retreat might have been due to the large number of onlookers. If they met in a secret place again, he could guarantee that the other party would definitely do something bad to them.

Lin Qingyang didn't want Cheng Hui to be in danger. Although Ah Hui's magic circle was powerful, its disadvantage was that it had to be set up in advance. Moreover, it would be troublesome if the opponent deliberately bypassed the place where the magic circle was set up. Therefore, he had to find a way to get rid of the opponent.

As the two continued to climb down, Cheng Hui was fine, but Lin Qingyang felt that the power calling him was getting stronger and stronger. It was pitch black all around, and only a little light could be seen in the distance above, which was the light used for lighting on the steps.

Cheng Hui was breathing heavily, but it wasn't because he was tired. With his current physical condition, carrying a child like Lin Qingyang on his back, let alone just climbing down the rope ladder, even doing a hundred or so Thomas turns upside down would not be a problem. The main reason was that the darkness around him created a lot of pressure.

The darkness around him seemed to be about to come down at any moment, and that heavy feeling made him feel depressed, which could not be relieved even if Lin Qingyang tried hard to chat with him.

There was a burning smell in the air, and Cheng Hui seemed to smell a faint sweetness.

A sickeningly sweet taste.

"Huh...you, do you smell it?" Cheng Hui asked casually.

"Hmm, it has a sweet smell that is not very pleasant." Lin Qingyang responded lightly, but his expression was very cautious.

"Huh, huh... It doesn't smell very good, but, but it's really too euphemistic. I think... This smell is disgusting, and I feel like vomiting." Cheng Hui panted and didn't forget to complain.

Lin Qingyang curled the corners of his mouth. He really wanted to make a few jokes to make Cheng Hui relax a little, but the familiar sweet taste made his heart alarm bells ring, and he even had a bad premonition.

Don't be that thing!

Don't let it be that thing!

"Hey? Qingyang, look, is there a stone platform down there?" Cheng Hui lowered his head inadvertently, and suddenly felt something flash by in his peripheral vision, vaguely like a stone platform.

Lin Qingyang shone the night pearl in his hand downwards and saw a stone platform.

Cheng Hui was overjoyed. He calculated the distance and jumped down directly.

The moment he stepped on the stone platform, he breathed a long sigh of relief. It really felt better to have his feet on solid ground.

Buzz——

The stone platform vibrated, and a circle of fluorite lit up around it, illuminating the surrounding environment in great detail.

This stone platform is exactly the same size and shape as the one above it. The only difference is that the stone platform above is suspended in mid-air without any support around it, while the four corners of this stone platform are connected by thick iron chains, as if it is fixed here by the chains.

"Don't come down yet."

Cheng Hui held back Lin Qingyang who was about to jump down, and the ease he felt when he stepped onto the solid ground disappeared in an instant.

The sweet fragrance in the air became stronger and stronger. The almost suffocating sweetness made Cheng Hui feel a little alert for no reason.

Lin Qingyang stopped struggling after being patted on the buttocks. Instead, he blushed a little. However, when he smelled that familiar sweet smell again, his originally rosy face gradually turned cold.

"I always feel that something is wrong around here. Let me take a look around first. Don't come down. In case of any accident, we can escape as quickly as possible." Cheng Hui instructed Lin Qingyang while quickly setting up a defensive magic circle at the place where he was staying to prevent anyone from attacking them from behind.

At present, the only way for them to leave here is this rope ladder. There is a magic circle protecting the rope ladder. Those people were frightened by his killing chickens to scare monkeys, and they may not dare to destroy his magic circle.

The following situation is unknown, so it is better to be cautious.

After setting up the magic circle, Cheng Hui slowly walked around to observe. Four thick chains extended into the unknown void. Cheng Hui stepped on them tentatively and found they were quite strong.

He habitually supported Lin Qingyang on his back and said, "There are four chains. Choose one."

Lin Qingyang didn't answer, but just silently stretched out a finger.

"Okay, this one." Cheng Hui jumped directly onto the thick chain in the direction of his finger.

Lin Qingyang rested his chin on Cheng Hui's shoulder and listened to him complaining in silence. He complained about the sweet taste, the thickness of the chain, and even complained about what was wrong with the senior and why he had to come up with such a thing here.

Lin Qingyang listened quietly. When he heard the last words, his heart moved and an idea popped up in his mind.

He looked back at the stone platform, then looked at another stone platform in the sky.

The two stone platforms are exactly the same, one in the sky and the other on the ground, facing each other from a distance, like two sides of a mirror.

The direction Lin Qingyang chose for Cheng Hui was exactly where the sweet fragrance in the air was the strongest.

He was very sensitive to this kind of fragrance. There was a time when he could smell this sickening sweet fragrance every day.

Cheng Hui's steps were very steady, and he didn't waver at all even when walking on the thick chain. He walked very fast, and in a short while, he reached the end of the chain.

As he walked, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some very thin black silk threads hanging on the thick chain. These silk threads were not obvious, and the light here was limited. If it were not for chance, he really would not have been able to discover them.

"What is this?" He squatted on the ground, picked up a silk thread, and found that it was quite heavy. He pulled the silk thread slowly upwards. As he pulled, he felt that the silk thread, which originally had some weight, suddenly became extremely light. Then there was a rustling sound from below, as if something had fallen down.

Cheng Hui: ...

He suddenly stood up and withdrew his hand, pretending nothing had happened. The silk thread he had just pulled up suddenly fell down again, followed by another loud rustling sound.

Cheng Hui: ...

Lin Qingyang suppressed his laughter and comforted him, "It's okay, you didn't mean it."

Cheng Hui thought, was this intentional or not? This is just me being stupid!

Why on earth am I so desperate that I have to pull that thing up?

I just can’t help it!

After this experience, Cheng Hui became obedient, no longer looking around, and no longer touching the other black silks. He ran along the chain obediently, and soon saw the end of the chain.

At the end of the chain is a huge buckle, which is embedded in the rock wall. Many pegs are nailed from top to bottom next to the buckle, which is suitable for climbing.

Cheng Hui went down directly with Lin Qingyang on his back. No one knew what material those pegs were made of. After so many years of wind and rain, they had not changed at all. Cheng Hui was worried about it and tried it out without explaining. As a result, he found that the thing was quite reliable, so he grabbed the pegs and climbed down.

The peg was nailed about two or three hundred meters high. With Cheng Hui's skills, he reached the bottom in the blink of an eye.

This place seemed to be the bottom of the abyss, and the ground was covered with black gravel. Here, the sweet smell was extremely strong, and even the zombie Cheng Hui felt suffocated.

God knows why he, a zombie who doesn't need to breathe, would feel suffocated.

"Huh, huh, what the hell is this place? And what's with this smell? Why do I feel like I can't breathe?" Cheng Hui covered his nose and looked around, and soon found a small path.

He was worried that staying here for too long would lead to some bad consequences, so he ran around trying to find the treasure that Lin Qingyang needed as soon as possible.

"Is this way?" he asked.

"Yeah." Lin Qingyang lowered his eyes to hide the dark light in his eyes.

No matter how much he resisted in his heart, everything here told him that he was right in his previous guess. The thing calling him was most likely a pool of blood.

A treasure that gathers countless essences and can allow people to ascend to heaven in one step - the Samsara Blood Pool.
