Chapter 111: Water and Sky Meet He tried to pull his ankle back, but the grip tightened...
The next day, the three of them set off at dawn.
Yesterday, after hearing what Lord Ming said, Gu Congxing wanted to go find Si Junjian, but he kept hiding from her until sunrise.
Looking at his expression, it seemed like he really intended to follow through on his promise to search for the secret treasure.
Gu Congxing was thinking about how to help Si Junjian get over the past, but he couldn't come to a conclusion for the moment, so he had to take it one step at a time.
While walking, he looked at the vast and boundless world of the Western Wilderness, and suddenly thought of how Si Junjian had lived in such pain in the past seven years, and how he was now so deliberately distant. Could it be that since he saw that he had been resurrected, he decided to take this opportunity to make a break with the past?
He glanced at the Demon King standing to the side. The man looked straight ahead, as if concentrating on his journey. The flame pattern embroidered on his red satin robe reflected the morning light.
Gu Congxing immediately withdrew his gaze and shook his head slightly.
No, instead of being suspicious like this, it would be better to wait until the secret treasure is found, and then pull Si Junjian over to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, so that he can't escape and will have to tell him everything he is thinking.
He was so absorbed in his own thoughts that he didn't notice the person next to him was getting closer and closer.
The long orange tail swept and stuck to the hem of Gu Congxing's clothes like a magnet.
Silently, like a light feather, no one noticed.
Soon, the three of them reached the edge of the ravine.
This place is not far from Muyin Mountain, but the terrain is completely different. The reddish-brown land looks like it was split by Pangu's giant axe. What meets the eye is a thousand-foot abyss, surrounded by black fog, with no bottom visible.
"This is the Great Ravine. There may be something sinister hidden in the black fog. I will lead the way in a moment, and Your Highness and Lord Gu will follow behind me."
After the Lord of Hell finished explaining things to the two of them, he overflowed with tremendous demonic power and flew into the cliff first.
Gu Congxing also summoned the Whale-Slaying Sword and followed, with Si Jun Sword flying at the end.
The three of them were not moving very fast. Sometimes the King of Hell would use his magical power to attack the monsters flying out of the black fog, but perhaps the deterrent power was too strong, and gradually no monsters came to provoke them.
But Gu Congxing did not feel relaxed at all.
In order to avoid being attacked by the monsters in the abyss, they did not light the lights and flew slowly as if they were lurking.
The further down you go, the narrower the gap in the rift becomes, and the thicker the black fog becomes. The vision was originally bright, but now there is no sunlight at all.
Although the monster lurking somewhere no longer attacks, its roars and mocking howls are still echoing around.
Dark, narrow, cramped and eerie.
The air obviously did not become thinner, but Gu Congxing felt that breathing had become a little more difficult.
His heartbeat couldn't help but get heavier, cold sweat broke out on his face, and even his limbs began to become cold.
He had experienced this feeling before when he was trapped in the Jiang family's secret place.
He hated this darkness and cramped environment, the dark days when he was trapped in the Gu family's punishment tower as a child...
"Gu Congxing!"
My left hand was grabbed and felt warm.
Gu Congxing suddenly came back to his senses as if awakened, and realized that Si Junjian had approached him at some point, frowning and looking at him intently.
"This black fog seems to contain a toxin that can affect people's minds. Are you... okay?"
It was rare for him to take the initiative to approach and show concern, but Gu Congxing's face was still pale at this moment. He exhaled heavily and then slowly shook his head.
He was already feeling unwell in this dark and confined environment, and it seemed that the black fog toxin had aggravated the symptoms.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Congxing summoned a Qingxin Xuanling Pill and swallowed it. His mind became clearer and his breathing became smoother.
However, there was still an lingering chill all over my body.
They were still exploring downwards, giving people the illusion that they were heading towards the underworld.
And the hand that was holding her seemed even warmer and more comfortable at this moment, making her not want to let go.
Gu Congxing's expression remained unchanged, but his left hand held him even tighter, as if grasping a ghostly fire in the darkness, and he even moved his body closer.
Si Junjian raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "You..."
Gu Congxing knew that his action was too weak and totally inconsistent with his usual style. He felt a little embarrassed, but was unwilling to let go, so he cleared his cough as if to cover up his mistake and glanced to the side.
"...Keep going down."
He answered like this, then pulled Si Junjian and followed behind Mingjun.
Si Junjian looked at his slightly flushed ears under his floating hair, and then his gaze swept down again.
The two people's connected hands were reflected in the red pupils. Si Junjian's eyes moved slightly, and his fingers moved slightly, as if trying to break free again.
But he was held even more firmly, and his fingers were interlocked.
It's like saying - "Don't move."
Si Junjian blinked and stopped pulling away.
"Your Highness, we are approaching the bottom of the ravine." The three of them sneaked for a while and the King of Hell spoke in a low voice.
There is no sunlight at all here, but the monk's facial features are extremely sharp and it does not affect his vision.
Gu Congxing looked around. The abyss here was much narrower than the entrance, but it was actually wider than the middle section. Even if three people stood side by side, it would not be crowded at all.
Below was the turbulent black river, roaring and rushing, and there seemed to be muffled thunder echoing in the valley.
Apart from the stone walls and the rapids, there was nothing else in sight.
Gu Congxing asked, "Where is the Primordial Mysterious Crystal?"
Si Junjian's demonic energy stirred slightly, and he looked thoughtful: "According to the landmarks recorded in ancient books and maps, we are indeed in the Great Ravine. Could there be some kind of trap..."
After hearing what he said, the Lord of Hell immediately released his demonic power to sense the surrounding stone walls. Gu Congxing was looking at the dark river below, and suddenly saw a cold light flash by.
...?
He looked carefully again and saw a cold light gradually emerging from the dark water.
No, that's not the cold light——
"Quick!! Fly up!!"
He shouted quickly and immediately grabbed Si Junjian and Mingjun and flew upwards!
Almost at the same moment, the dark river was suddenly broken, and a long giant monster with no eyes, no ears, no scales, and no hair suddenly jumped out!
The only thing on its body was a huge bloody mouth covered with three layers of sharp teeth, which looked like a leech magnified a hundred times, and it attacked the Hades like lightning!
"Ancient ferocious beast...Giant Razor Clam!!"
The Lord of Hell roared and immediately summoned the Thorn Iron Spear!
His body suddenly grew several times larger, as if the god of war had descended. He swung his spear in the air and immediately shot it towards the giant clam!
The monster roared and attacked with waves of water!
Gu Congxing immediately activated his spiritual power and condensed ten golden long blades, splitting the waves directly!
The spear immediately pierced through the giant clam's body, releasing a cloud of blood mist. However, it counterattacked even more fiercely, and bit Gu Congxing directly with its huge mouth!
“Brahma!!”
A sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a long red arrow carrying tremendous spiritual pressure suddenly shot towards the monster, and unexpectedly shot into its mouth accurately, piercing it completely!
"boom--!"
The giant clam broke open a huge blood hole and immediately fell down with a loud bang, splashing muddy waves like rain.
Gu Congxing immediately held up a large spiritual shield to block the falling river water. After the monster sank, the originally turbulent river seemed to calm down, the flow slowed down, and the water level began to slowly drop.
But within a few breaths, the river seemed to turn into a stream, and it became clear again, reflecting the surrounding rugged stone walls.
"This is……"
Gu Congxing flew forward a few steps and found that this place seemed to be a source of living water, with clear stream gurgling out, revealing a pure atmosphere that was completely different from the gloomy place.
"Come and see if this is a trap?"
He immediately turned around to call the two men over, but he didn't expect that the moment he turned his head, a small clam monster suddenly jumped out from the gap between the water and the stone wall and bit his ankle!
"!" Gu Congxing immediately condensed his spiritual power to kill it, but a severe numbness suddenly arose between his ankles, causing his right leg to completely lose consciousness!
The next moment, he could no longer stand and fell straight off the spirit sword!
“! Gu Congxing——!”
Si Junjian approached immediately like a red light. He was about to hold Gu Congxing's hand, and the next moment he fell into the water with him!
“Plop—”
It should have been just an ordinary fall into the water, but Gu Congxing was shocked to find that there was no buoyancy in the water, but instead a heavy pulling force!
The more he and Si Junjian struggled, the more they were pulled downwards.
But the water clearly contained pure spiritual power, without any murderous or evil aura.
Gu Congxing's eyes swept across the bottom of the water, and his eyes suddenly moved.
Since the Primordial Mysterious Crystal is in this great ravine, and there is no treasure on it, could it be...
He held down the Si Jun sword that was surging with demonic power, shook his head at him, and pointed his finger at the bottom of the water.
Si Junjian stopped struggling immediately and sank down with him along with the pulling force.
The moment they hit the bottom of the water, their vision suddenly changed!
“Swish!”
All the water flows suddenly disappeared, and all I could see was the clear blue sky!
At this moment, they were penetrating the bottom of the water and falling in the air!
It’s true!
Beneath the water lies another realm! Where the water meets the sky, it is a place of infinite mystery!
"Gu Congxing!"
Both of them were falling rapidly from the sky. Si Junjian shouted, grabbed him, held him in his arms, and his demonic power surged all over his body!
A blazing light suddenly exploded, and a nine-petal fire lotus floated up. The descent speed was suddenly reduced, allowing it to land safely.
"call……"
Gu Congxing looked around and found that the sky and the earth in this realm were all blue, like a mirror reflecting each other, except that there were some huge rocks on the land, like drifting islands.
"Gu Congxing!"
Si Junjian immediately squatted in front of him, blocking his view: "You were bitten by that thing?! Where is the wound!?"
Seeing his anxious look, Gu Congxing couldn't help but point to his ankle: "It's okay, I just need to take the detoxification elixir - wait, Si Junjian!?"
Si Junjian didn't even bother to explain. He just squatted down, grabbed his ankles, and pulled off his shoes and socks!
The jade-white feet were immediately exposed to the air, the round toes were slightly curled, and the instep was arched into a curve.
The delicate ankle, gripped by Si Junjian's hand, stood in stark contrast to his long, calloused hands. The wound, shallow and shimmering with dark red blood, inexplicably added a touch of glamor to the otherwise clear landscape.
Si Junjian's hurried movements suddenly stopped, and his eyes dimmed.
"Si, Si Junjian?!"
"...The poison of the ancient beast is extremely fierce, and ordinary detoxification pills may not be able to cure it."
He gripped Gu Congxing's ankles and kneaded them again, his throat rolling: "But I am the best antidote."
"you--!"
Although Si Junjian is indeed immune to all poisons, this posture is too shameful!
He was about to pull his ankle back, but the grip tightened.
Si Junjian stroked his skin, turned his head and looked at him, and said firmly: "Gu Congxing, I won't let anything happen to you."
Gu Congxing paused, Si Junjian lifted his calf a little higher, leaned over and opened his lips.
The hot breath fell, followed by warm and soft lips.
Si Junjian held the scar in his mouth, and his drooping eyelashes concealed the gloom in his eyes.
"I won't let anything happen to you..."
