Chapter 47: The Blackwater Lizard
In the dark and damp unknown space, Chu Zhen and Xia Qing coexist here.
In such an environment, living so close to a young woman with a stunning beauty, it would feel a little uncomfortable to be a man for any man.
Chu Zhen seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.
"I think we should be under the water......" Xia Qing's soft rain-like voice broke the strange calm.
"Oh?" Chu Zhen was stunned, his face confused, "Underwater?"
"Well, I guess so. I think there was some kind of unknown prohibition in the lake before, and the turmoil caused by my fight with the Ice Moon Demon Wolf inadvertently touched that prohibition layer. That's why we're here......."
After listening to Xia Qing's explanation, Chu Zhen didn't have too many doubts.
The reason is very simple, Xia Qing is a powerhouse at the level of the Skyclave Realm.
Her cultivation is so high, her knowledge and experience must be far beyond Chu Zhen.
"Then you continue to use your skills here to expel the cold qi, and I'll check the situation here......" Chu Zhen stood up and said.
"Let's go together!" Xia Qing also stood up.
"But the ice in your body?"
"I've been temporarily pressed down, but because I have penetrated into the major meridians, I can't get rid of it for a while, let's see if I can get out of here first, and then think of other ways when I get outside. ”
"Hmm!" Chu Zhen nodded, not saying anything more.
Immediately, the two found a place similar to a passage, and entered one after the other.
The smell of earth was in the air, and the surrounding walls were damp, with the sound of water dripping on the stones from time to time.
As the two of them went deeper into the passage, they slowly found that the more they went inside, the larger the space.
After a while, a faint halo of yellow-light was quietly caught by the two of them.
"There is light!" Chu Zhen was overjoyed.
"Hmm!" Xia Qing was also a little surprised, but more cautious and careful.
The light in front of them became stronger and stronger, and after about a distance of about a hundred meters or so, a strange space appeared in front of the two of them.
"It's ......"
Chu Zhenjun frowned slightly, only to see that what appeared in front of him was a concave building similar to a pond.
The pond is square in shape, about fifty meters long and wide. A two-meter-wide stone bridge connects the opposite side, and the pond below the stone bridge is filled with stagnant water.
This pool of stagnant water exudes a pungent ** smell, and from a distance, it looks like a pool of ink.
"There's a door on the other side!" Xia Qing's red lips opened lightly and said.
Chu Zhen nodded, indicating that he had also seen it.
On the opposite side of the concave building was a wide stone platform that leaned against a damp stone wall with pits. And above the stone wall there is a half-open stone door. The stone gate is about two meters high, and the interior is dim and dark, like a nine dark passages to another world.
"Are you going there?" Chu Zhen asked, his tone revealing a solemnity.
Xia Qingxiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked softly, "Otherwise, will you go back?"
Chu Zhen couldn't help but be stunned.
Go back!
Where to retreat?
This woman really likes to 'bury' herself, of course, there is no real malice in the other party's tone. Chu Zhen could still feel that the other party was joking.
The corners of Chu Chen's eyes condensed slightly, and he muttered in a low voice, "I don't know what's in here?"
"Just go in and see, I'll go ahead!"
Xia Qing said, and then took the lead to step onto the stone bridge that ran through the inside and outside in front of him.
Chu Zhen was just about to say something more, but the other party had already walked up.
Immediately, the two stepped onto the stone bridge one after another, and the solid hard stone slabs were supported on the soles of their feet, which was very strong. However, Chu Zhen's heart was not particularly steady, and his attention was quite focused on staring at the black water in the ink pool under the bridge.
I have walked nearly a third of the way in a row, and everything is safe.
As the two of them walked across the stone bridge, the water surface in the inkpool suddenly fluctuated slightly.
"Be careful!"
"Be careful!"
The same two words came out of Chu Zhen and Xia Qing's mouths respectively.
"Whoosh!"
In the next moment, a vague black shadow suddenly burst out of the black inkpool.
A cold glint flashed in Chu Chen's eyes, and the rich power of True Yuan instantly condensed in the palm of his palm, along with a fierce wind, and the powerful palm power hit the black shadow like a stormy wave.
"Bang!"
A heavy explosion shook in mid-air, and the black shadow was directly blasted out by Chu Zhen's palm, and then fell back into the black water pond.
"What was that?"
Due to the rush of time, Chu Zhen couldn't even see what it was.
However, immediately afterward, a shocking scene appeared.
"Tsk!"
"Boom!"
......
With many strange cries, the black water in the inkpool below became chaotic, and black shadows emerged from the bottom of the water.
Chu Zhen looked at it intently, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking.
I saw that these black shadows turned out to be monsters that resembled lizards, but the difference was that these strange things were covered with dark red scales, and their backs were covered with sharp spikes.
At first glance, the entire inkwell is filled with this kind of thing.
The largest is more than two meters, and the smallest is no more than the length of chopsticks.
Left and right, a pair of erect pupils stared at Chu Zhen and Xia Qing so coldly, this feeling was like waiting for a feast.
Chu Zhen couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Is this a black water monster lizard?"
The Black Water Monster Lizard, a second-level demon, an adult Black Water Monster Lizard, is equivalent to a second-order martial cultivation in the Human Tongyuan Realm. At first glance, there seem to be quite a few adult lizards.
This kind of monster is easy to attack moving targets, and when the target is stationary, it will be relatively safe. But it's just relative, and no one wants to stay in this kind of place for any longer.
Chu Zhen didn't even dare to move, and his eyebrows showed a thick solemnity.
The scene in front of him can be described as an extremely headache, and what is even more helpless is that Chu Zhen's only weapon, the Shadow Gun, was also lost outside before.
Fighting these things with your bare hands will definitely suffer a big loss.
Xia Qing didn't speak, but silently handed something to the other party.
Chu Zhen was slightly stunned, the thing Xia Qing handed over was nothing else, it was her saber.
"What are you?"
"Don't say it, I know your weapon was lost when you were dealing with the Ice Moon Demon Wolf. ”
Xia Qing frowned lightly, and said solemnly, "We must enter the back of that stone gate in the shortest possible time, I will deal with the front, and the rear will be handed over to you." ”
With Xia Qing's original strength cultivation, a mere pool of black water monster lizards is not a problem at all.
However, the Ice Moon Demon Wolf's Ice Xuan Cold Qi was too domineering, and all the major meridians of Xia Qing were invaded by the cold Qi, and the operation of the True Yuan Power was extremely slow.
I'm afraid that Xia Qing's current combat power is not much higher than Chu Chen's.
However, having come to this point, there is no way back except to move forward.
Listening to what Xia Qing said, Chu Zhen was obviously stunned, the other party was so relieved to say that he would hand over his back to himself? This is out of a great trust, so he will hand over his back to others.
There was a flash of resolute light in Chu Zhen's eyes, "I see." ”
"Well, count to three. ”
"One, two, three......"
"Let's go!"
Xia Qingjiao shouted softly, and Chu Zhen and the other party immediately swept towards the other end of the stone bridge at the fastest speed.
But at the next moment when the two of them moved, the black water monster lizards in the inkpools on both sides of the stone bridge leaped up one by one, let out strange screams from their mouths, and rushed towards the two of them.
Black water monsters of all sizes are overwhelming, like countless swarms of locusts.
"......"
The crisp metal hum made the spatial airflow tremble, and the sword in Chu Zhen's palm bloomed into a brilliant silver light, and the long sword danced, and the criss-crossing sword qi twisted towards the strange lizard that flew towards it.
"Shhh
The sharp sword light phantom was dazzling, and the four or five monster lizards in front were directly cut into several sections.
Xia Qing leaned out his fair-skinned and slender jade hand as he moved, and the powerful power of True Yuan gathered and flowed in his palm, turning into a blue sword shadow in an instant.
This sword shadow was purely transformed by the power of the True Yuan, but it gave people the feeling that it was extremely sharp.
Xia Qinghao raised his wrist slightly, and more than a dozen condensed blue sword rays converged into a gorgeous sword net, and the sword net shrouded towards the group of strange lizards with a head-on momentum.
"Bang ......"
Along with a series of explosions, more than a dozen black water monster lizards were twisted to pieces, bursting into clouds of blood mist.
Chu Jian was secretly frightened, he really deserved to be a powerhouse at the level of the Sky Breaking Realm, even if he was eroded by the cold aura of the Ice Moon Demon Wolf, the strength of the other party was still amazingly strong.
"Boom!"
"Tsk!"
......
The black water monster lizard continued to launch onslaught, but fortunately, it was the cubs that had not yet reached maturity that rushed over for the time being. As for the adult black water monster lizards with a body size of more than two meters, they were still staring at the two of them, as if they were waiting for an opportunity to move.
"Shhh
Blood continued to flutter, and one after another the black water monster lizards were cut off and shattered under Chu Zhen's sword.
The pungent smell of blood filled the area, and the stone bridge road was littered with the corpses of strange lizards.
"Hold on a little longer, and you'll almost reach the other side!" Xia Qing said.
It seems that Chu Chen's pressure is relatively large, but in fact, Xia Qing is not only suffering from external crises. After all, as soon as she used the power of True Yuan, the part of the suppressed Ice Xuan Cold Qi inside her body would loosen with it.
Xia Qing had already felt the cold qi in his body starting to become active again.
Time is running out.
"Boom!"
At this moment, an adult black water monster lizard finally stopped waiting.
The nearly three-meter-long body leaped up from the black water, and its hideous and terrifying appearance was like a combination of a lizard and a crocodile, and it was extremely ferocious.
The adult Black Water Monster Lizard is a second-level demon, and its comprehensive combat power is comparable to that of a second-order martial artist in the Tongyuan Realm.
Xia Qingxiu's eyebrows froze, she naturally didn't dare to let Chu Zhen, who only had the ninth-order strength of the Open Pulse Realm, face this adult monster lizard. Xia Qingyu's hand was lightly raised, her mind moved, and with a "bang", the blue sword shadow conjured by the power of Zhenyuan in her palm flew out like an arrow from the string.
"Shhh
The powerful sword shadow swept through the air, like a flowing arrow that traced back thousands of years, directly piercing the head of the adult monster lizard. With a terrible roar, the corpse of the adult monster lizard slammed into the water, making a splash.
"Jie Ji ......"
But before Xia Qing could breathe a sigh of relief, another adult monster lizard suddenly rushed out and swooped down on her.
