Chapter 862: Smelling the Treasure Goes Wrong
After traveling for about a few miles, Deng An felt the pressure of the water drop sharply.
He jumped upwards slightly, and suddenly a huge cave hall appeared in front of him. However, the depths of the cave hall were still filled with dense demonic qi, and although the glazed wind lantern quickly absorbed the nearby demonic qi, the effect was effective, and it only maintained a range of tens of zhang.
After careful observation, Deng An understood that the place where he was located was an underground river channel, and the flowing water mixed with demonic qi passed through the narrow cave where it came from, and rushed out of the mountain to become the Ming River.
It should not be the first time that Hu Zhong has arrived, and almost without a pause, he walked away from the riverbed. The Tiger King glanced around vigilantly, his face showed a solemn expression, he did not object to Hu Zhong's actions, and lifted the glass wind lantern, as if illuminating the road, and walked forward slowly.
The existence of demonic qi made Deng An unable to explore farther places, and he was in an unknown area, and the sense of crisis in his heart inevitably became more and more intense, but it was relatively safer to act with Hu Zhong and Tiger King, so he followed quietly closely.
"It's extremely strange ahead, we need to be careful!"
Suddenly, Hu Zhong took the initiative to slow down, and a rare solemn expression appeared on his face.
When Deng An was surprised, he hurriedly took two steps forward and stopped in a seemingly empty place with Hu Zhong and Tiger King. He looked around, and there seemed to be nothing special, just like the cave hall they had walked through before: some strangely shaped stalagmites hung upside down on the top, and there were many traces of running water on the ground, and a thick demonic aura shrouded in all sides......
However, Deng An soon sensed the chaotic spatial power coming from ahead.
At the same time, the Tiger King also made a discovery, took a few steps forward, observed for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is this place?
"Hehe, it's the same to say the same, and it's not the same to say the same. Hu Zhong sold a pass, caught a glimpse of the Tiger King's face with anger, and hurriedly continued: "There are indeed similarities between this place and Magic Water Bay, there are many small spaces distributed in the same way, but they are very stable, and the size is generally the same, as if they were deliberately divided, I call this the realm space. ”
"Mirror space?" Tiger King looked dazed after hearing this.
Seeing this, Hu Zhong continued to explain: "Every small space here can be seen as the projection of other small spaces in the mirror, in which there is no difference between things except positive and negative. We must try to identify them before we enter, so as not to get lost. ”
Hearing this, Deng An couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, Hu Daoyou is not familiar with the situation of the mirror space?
"Oh...... Pretty much...... You can't say that......" After Hu Zhong was stunned, he said embarrassedly: "I have naturally been there, otherwise how can I be sure that there is a demon heart stone in it?"
"What is almost?!, you boy, don't say anything ambiguous! If you've been there before, how can you not know the way?," said the Tiger King, angrily.
"It's not as simple as you think......"
After Hu Zhong finished speaking, Deng An and Tiger King both realized the strangeness of this matter and were silent for a while. Hu Zhong's experience in the mirror space seems simple, but it is actually very dangerous.
It turned out that Hu Zhong accidentally found a "loophole" on the edge of the ancient battlefield, and used it to sneak into the ancient battlefield several times, the most recent one, that is, when the ancient battlefield was opened last time, he found the source of the "magic water" because of curiosity, and found the "Qiankun" in the cave. Since there was no "magic lamp" to use at that time, the process of resisting the demonic qi was too consuming, and when he discovered the realm space, he ventured into it without taking a closer look, and as a result, he lost his way. He walked through several small spaces in a row, and came to a special space. There was a difference between it and other spaces, and the distribution of demonic qi was mostly concentrated in the central area, which gave him a certain amount of time to breathe. Soon, he discovered that there was a Demon Heart Stone in the center of the demonic qi. It's just that at that time, he was close to the limit of his ability, and even if he could get the Demon Heart Stone, he couldn't escape the attack of demonic energy.
Just as Hu Zhong was struggling with whether to take the Demon Heart Stone, the Demon Heart Stone suddenly changed. Under its influence, the demonic energy in the entire small space seemed to be deliberately stirred, and the flow speed became intense. He was able to resist at first, but later he was completely unable to help himself.
Hu Zhong thought that this time he was in a catastrophe, and the area above his head suddenly appeared in chaos, and then, the spatial forces from different directions cut and interfered with each other, like several small spaces colliding together, and under the premise of no choice, he flew up hard.
Fortunately, he was not torn apart by the power of space, but returned to the ancient battlefield.
Due to the severity of his injuries at that time, and the closing time of the ancient battlefield, Hu Zhong had no choice but to leave in a hurry and find a secret place nearby to heal his injuries. After recovering from his injuries, he didn't want to give up the Demon Heart Stone, and according to what he had experienced, he began to prepare for the re-entry of the surface space.
Hu Zhong is a demon cultivator, and the biggest threat to him in the realm space is naturally the ubiquitous demonic qi, and he must find a suitable means to deal with it in order to gain enough time.
For this reason, he found his clan uncle, the Tiger King.
The Tiger King has a very high rank, and he traveled extensively in his early years, not only having a fateful relationship with a few fifth-order demon kings of the demon clan, but also collecting countless treasures, several of which can even pose a fatal threat to the fifth-order demon king, which is also one of the reasons why many demon kings are reluctant to provoke him.
In the early years, after the Tiger King was drunk, he was happy and took out the glass wind lantern to show off to Hu Zhong, and he learned that one of the uses of this magic lamp was to absorb demonic energy. Tiger Faithful can't think of anything more suitable than a glass wind lamp. It's just that the Tiger King is a well-known miser, miser, and his collection of treasures is more important than his life, not to mention, the glass wind lamp is a very cherished thing by the other party, for this reason, he had to spend a long time, begging for nothing, and made countless promises to borrow the glass wind lamp.
Regarding Hu Zhong's words, Deng An was still skeptical. However, one thing is certain, there is a big difference from the original promise. When Hu Zhong looked at Deng An with a weak expression, Deng An's face sank, and he said, "Since you breached the contract first, forgive Deng Mou for not accompanying him anymore!"
"Deng Daoyou, these are the words there. Hu Zhong immediately panicked.
"Hehe, Daoist friends should understand what Deng meant. Deng An sneered.
"Deng Daoyou, there will definitely be no danger! With this glass wind lantern, coupled with my preparation over the years and my uncle's assistance, even if we really encounter danger, we will definitely be able to save the day!" Hu Zhong naturally didn't want to make the martyrdom pill go down the drain, so he hurriedly defended.
"Hmph, do you think Deng will still believe it?" Deng An's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered. As he spoke, he quickly condensed a ghostly fire shield outside his body, shook it slightly, and left the enveloping range of the glass wind lamp. Although there are many demonic qi around, there is no need for a while.
Hu Zhong didn't expect Deng An to turn his face so quickly, and he was stunned for a while, but he reacted immediately, gave the thoughtful Tiger King a look, and chased after him. Since Deng An needed to be distracted to resist the demonic qi, the speed was not very fast, and when he saw Hu Zhong catching up, he frowned slightly, stopped his figure, turned around and asked in a deep voice, "What else is the matter with Daoyou?"
Seeing Deng An stop suddenly, a trace of vigilance suddenly appeared on Hu Zhong's face, and he subconsciously glanced at the Tiger King, as if he had confidence, his face was ashamed, and he smiled lightly: "Deng Daoyou, don't be in a hurry to leave, we have something to discuss, this matter is indeed my fault, I didn't explain the mirror space to you in advance, if Daoyou is unwilling to continue to cooperate, we naturally can't force it, but Daoyou is leaving now, and he has failed to fulfill the agreement, so ......"
Speaking of this, Hu Zhong seemed to be speechless, and after a while, he forced himself to put on a smiling face and said timidly: "This...... It's nothing, can the martyrdom pill pay me back...... Two, no, one! One will do!" he held out a finger and pushed it forward several times.
Deng An had already guessed his general intention, and after hearing it, he secretly sneered, and wanted to refute it. At this moment, a series of strange screams suddenly sounded. "Heh!ah......h
Caught off guard, Deng An and Hu Zhong were both taken aback. However, Hu Zhong understood the Tiger King, and immediately understood why the other party reacted like this, revealing a wry smile.
He hesitated, but did not speak.
After a while, the Tiger King calmed down, looked at Deng An suspiciously, his eyes were like sharp blades, he glared at Hu Zhong fiercely, and shouted: "Little rabbit cub! Explain it clearly to Lao Tzu! What is the matter with the Martyrdom Pill? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?!"
Hu Zhong knew that something was wrong, his back subconsciously arched, his eyes rolled, he pretended not to hear clearly, and said, "Uncle, you are in a hurry, but there are only a few Martyrdom Pills!"
"Hey, hey, hey......" The Tiger King kept making syllables that seemed to be laughing but not laughing, and after a series of more than a dozen, his face turned and he scolded: "You fucking loser! I regard it as the inheritor in vain, and I don't want to be blind, and treat **** as gold! Did you make a deal with this ghost boy with the Martyrdom Pill? Don't take Lao Tzu for a fool......
"Although the martyrdom pill is precious, it is not unique, and it is a big deal that my nephew will spend some effort to grab a few more. When the Tiger King was tired of scolding, Hu Zhong took the opportunity to explain.
"Haha, if the Martyrdom Pill is not precious, what is it?! Even if you capture hundreds or thousands of Rebirth Meditation Cultivators now, you won't be able to practice a Martyrdom Pill. Listen to the meaning of what you just said, and you didn't just give this ghost boy one?" said the Tiger King angrily.
"This is my deal with Deng Daoyou, you don't have to worry about it. Hu Zhong said.
"I don't care if I trade or not, don't deviate from Lao Tzu's question!" The Tiger King looked fierce, scolded him, and asked, "How many did you give this ghost boy?!"
"Hmm...... Three pieces can't be counted as ...... given by my nephew."
"So, this ghost boy has three Martyrdom Pills on his body?!Good!Good!Okay!Even if you can't find the Demon Heart Stone today, can you ...... It's not worth the trip to get back three Martyring Pills!"
After the Tiger King interrupted Hu Zhong, he let out a low roar from his mouth, and with a shake of his arm, the pillar of demonic qi in front of the glazed wind lantern spun sharply in an arc and rolled towards the direction of the dark river.
