After walking for an unknown amount of time, a huge lake appeared in front of them. They walked towards the lake cautiously, but as they got closer, the pure spiritual power in the lake swept towards them, and they hurriedly retreated.
"There's something wrong with this lake. Even with the Spirit Gathering Array, it's impossible for it to have such rich spiritual energy. We can't get close to it at all. If we force our way in, we'll definitely be hurt by the spiritual power inside." Zhao Xiangran said with a serious face.
So they discussed going around the lake and continuing forward.
They didn't notice that two small figures quietly crawled into the lake and even swam happily in it.
By the time Su Yao and Ning Jing discovered that the two little ones were missing, half an hour had passed. When they were about to use the contract to find them, they quietly appeared again. They didn't know if it was an illusion, but they always felt that they had grown up a lot.
Seeing them appear, Su Yao didn't think too much about it. She just thought that the two of them were playing nearby, so she didn't pay any more attention to them.
Along the way, a strange wind carrying the sound of dragon roars would appear from time to time, and this happened so often that they went from being nervous at first to being used to it.
After walking for about half a day, they finally arrived at the foot of a mountain.
The mountain was covered with lush greenery, and one could even hear the calls of birds and beasts. Everyone was surprised that birds and beasts could still survive in the dragon's tomb.
Just as they were about to go up, they suddenly discovered a hidden cave entrance at the foot of the mountain. No one else had noticed it, and it was the two little ones who discovered it first.
Several people stood at the entrance of the cave. The cold and gloomy atmosphere emanating from the cave made them all look serious and they did not dare to enter the cave easily.
Ji Mingshan slowly said, "My fellow Daoists, please don't be anxious. Let me tell you the fortune first and see if it's auspicious or not before we discuss it."
I had heard that the divination skills of Xuanji Pavilion were rare in the world, but I didn't expect to see it so soon. Su Yao and Ning Jing looked at him with curiosity as he took out a piece of tortoise shell and put a black and a white Xuan jade into it.
One black and one white jade were connected head to tail, forming the pattern of Tai Chi Bagua. He was muttering something, but Su Yao couldn't hear what he was saying. She picked up the tortoise shell, shook it, and then poured the two pieces of jade on the ground.
Naturally, other people couldn't see anything. To them, it was nothing more than two pieces of stone dropped on the ground. However, Ji Mingshan stared at the two pieces of jade for a long time. After a long time, he put the things away and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Jing was the first to ask, "How is it? What does the hexagram say?"
"Fortunately, there is a 90% chance of survival." Ji Mingshan smiled at Ning Jing.
Xu Fuyi immediately appeared and stood between the two of them: "So, we can still go in and give it a try."
Ji Mingshan's smile remained unchanged: "You can understand it that way."
After a discussion, they finally decided that since they were already here, they must give it a try.
As soon as they entered the cave, everyone shuddered at the gloomy energy inside. Only four people remained calm, namely Kong Shan, Su Yao, Nalan Jingyue and Ning Jing.
Ruan Jiaojiao asked curiously, "Don't you fellow Daoists feel that the gloomy energy here is overwhelming?"
"Amitabha, I grew up in Buddhism, and ordinary evil spirits cannot get close to me." Kong Shan smiled faintly.
Ning Jing said nonchalantly, "I have a fire spirit root, so I can't feel this little bit of Yin energy."
Su Yao looked at Nalan Jingyue, and seeing that he showed no sign of wanting to explain, she spoke, "Daoyou Nalan and I originally have ice spirit roots and are not afraid of the cold."
The four people looked at each other in bewilderment: ...
Okay, my own conditions are not as good as theirs.
No one took this little incident seriously. The deeper they went into the cave, the colder it became.
Deep in the cave, unknown dangers await them.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, everyone finally walked out of the passage, which contained a large space.
Cautiously, they stopped moving forward. The strong smell of blood constantly reminded them of the danger. They took Yunyun and Yanxi into the space to avoid any accidents that might cause them to be unable to take care of them.
Just as Su Yao was about to take out the night pearl to observe it carefully, a circle of fire lit up around the entire cave. It was at this moment that everyone could see the environment inside clearly.
There were densely packed pools of blood inside, and bubbles would occasionally rise from the bottom of the pools.
Ruan Jiaojiao, looking pale, tugged at Zhao Xiangran's arm: "What the hell is this place! Brother, I'm scared!"
Zhao Xiangran patted her hand soothingly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Seeing their interaction, Xu Fuyi approached Ning Jing and asked, "Are you afraid? If you are, I'll give you my arm!" After saying this, he acted as if he was very generous.
Ningjing was too lazy to pay attention to him. She rolled her eyes at him and turned her head to the other side.
Looking at Ji Mingshan again, his expression was still indifferent, and his eyes were more full of curiosity about the pool of blood.
At this time, Kong Shan spoke up: "Amitabha, everyone, please stay away. Something is coming out of these blood pools!"
Hearing this, everyone instantly moved further away from the blood pool. Just as they stood firm, more and more bubbles began to rise from the blood pool.
Everyone quickly took out their weapons and watched the blood pool vigilantly. Nalan Jingyue walked to Su Yao's side without knowing when, and whispered to her: "Be careful!"
Su Yao nodded to show that she knew.
There were more and more bubbles in the blood pool, just like boiling water.
They didn't have to wait long before a claw suddenly landed on the edge of the pool.
"Ah!" Ruan Jiaojiao was so frightened that she couldn't help but scream.
