Chapter 434: A Sword Piercing the Darkness
Chapter 434: The Sword That Pierces the Darkness
Suddenly seeing this white shadow in this deep and seemingly boundless darkness, even with Shen Shi's tenacious mind, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and subconsciously stopped.
There was silence all around, and the burning light of the fireball in front of his head seemed so fragile under the darkness that only the sound of Shen Shi's own breathing seemed to be left in the silent world.
Some are fast, some are urgent.
But it didn't take long for Shen Shi to find that the white shadow in front of him seemed to be lying motionless on the ground all the time, without any movement. Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, and walked over slowly, and as his footsteps approached downward, the firelight gradually illuminated the surroundings of the white shadow, making it clear to people.
Sure enough, that white shadow was the white-clothed female ghost he had seen in the demon clan's dungeon in the past, but the strange thing was that when Shen Shi approached, he suddenly found that there was only a white dress left on the ground, and it fell to the ground empty, and the body of the female ghost before, including the head with long hair covering her face, was nowhere to be seen.
Shen Shi was a little surprised, and at the same time he also had a bit of a bad premonition in his heart, thinking of the mysterious and inexplicable and strange aura in this crypt before, and also thinking of what happened to Huang Ming here back then. Could it be that the power of this cave is even beyond the power of ghosts?
He looked down at himself, the soft light emanating from the Immortal Killing Ancient Sword still encompassing and protecting his body, silently isolating the dark aura around him. He shook his head slightly, and just wanted to step over here, when suddenly his eyes froze, but he saw something out of the corner of his eye.
Shen Shi walked down the stone steps, squatted down, his eyes fell on the corner of this stone steps, and then he saw a faint green light flickering in that corner. He fiddled with it with his hand, then picked up a green orb.
This bead is turquoise all over, and it can be seen that it should have been a dazzling jewel, but at this moment, this bead is dull and dim, and the bead is full of cracks, both deep and large, as if it has experienced an unimaginable catastrophe, and the pearl is covered with dust, and it is already powerless.
Shen Shi's pupils shrank slightly, staring at the green remnant bead, his brows furrowed, and he glanced back at the white clothes behind him. If he remembered correctly, this bead once belonged to the white-clothed female ghost, and it was one of her most powerful magic weapons, and it was used to fight another powerful demon beast and dog-headed monster in the first place.
The green beads are shattered, and the white clothes are empty, the fate of this white-clothed female ghost is almost imminent, even if she can't judge life and death because she hasn't seen her body with her own eyes, but it must not be much better. Shen Shi even had a terrible idea in his heart, thinking of what happened to Huang Ming back then, he set up that this white-clothed female ghost was likely to be melted directly by the strange aura in this crypt.
Maybe it's because ghosts and people are different after all?
Shen Shi was not sure, and he didn't want to speculate any more, he straightened up again, and thought silently in place for a long time. The fireball above him had been burning silently, and at some point it seemed to have dimmed a little, as if it had reached the end of his life.
The place illuminated by the firelight gradually shrank, the darkness slowly approached, Shen Shi raised his eyes slightly, after a while, he took a deep breath, suddenly raised his hand, and a new fireball rose up, and the original fireball was extinguished with it.
The rekindling flames once again lit up the darkness, dispelling the strange aura in the vicinity, and Shen Shi, who was standing in the depths of this dark world, gently patted his face, as if to cheer up. Walking alone in this darkness is too much pressure.
But he didn't flinch after all, and took another step and continued to walk towards the depths of darkness.
The light of the fire shone on him and continued to walk, and soon he left behind the white clothes and the broken green beads just now, and the darkness spread over, drowning out the little green light of the white clothes.
The spiraling downward stone steps seemed endless, and on the next journey, Shen Shi walked for a long, long time, and did not encounter any unusual situations, only the kind of stone steps that seemed to remain unchanged forever in front of him. Time seems to have frozen, and the silence around you seems to make people crazy, but as you walk, you can still feel that the space around you seems to start to grow larger unconsciously.
The stone stairs on each floor seem to be getting wider and wider, and this dark underground world seems to be getting bigger and bigger, but the darkness blocks most of the perception, and maybe it's just an illusion?
Shen Shi still continued to walk, and the road ahead seemed to stretch silently to an infinite end, giving the illusion in the darkness that the place it led to was the deepest part of the earth.
What's there?
Is it the most terrifying thing in the world? Or is it the legendary Netherworld and the Yellow Springs Underworld?
Shen Shi didn't know, he didn't know anything about the front. In fact, he is already a little numb at this moment, there are too many strange things in this world, and even he has been shaken and afraid in his heart, maybe only that white light has always accompanied him and given him the courage to persevere.
He walked and walked, and walked into the depths of the earth, and for a long time, everything seemed to be confused in the darkness, how many hours, how many days, or how many months?
Who knows, fate is always like this, looking coldly in the unknown front, no one knows what awaits them in front of them?
But you have to walk over to find out, don't you? So Shen Shi still walked on, until a certain moment, suddenly it suddenly went black in front of his eyes.
Shen Shi's footsteps, which were already a little numb, stopped immediately, and at this moment, even his breathing stopped.
The fireball that had been burning above his head suddenly disappeared without warning.
The fire was extinguished in an instant, and the darkness surged from all directions like a frenzy, like a silent cry of mournful revelry, engulfing him completely at once.
In the darkness, the cold aura was like an ancient terrifying demon beast suddenly awakening, many times stronger than what I had felt before, surging like a stormy wave. His body almost instinctively felt the terrible image of the next moment, and it was torn apart, melting and shattering, until it turned into the nameless dust of this dark world.
He was in the dark, holding his breath.
No more trying to struggle with anything, no hysterical yelling, no trying to rekindle the fireball to light up the surroundings to see what was going on. He just gritted his teeth, used all his strength, and suddenly raised the Immortal Killing Ancient Sword in his hand, facing the surging darkness like a frenzy in front of him, and stabbed it out hard.
Resolute and a little crazy!
Like a person facing the entire silent and terrible dark world, like a child with the first dream and refusing to give in to the mature world, a sword stabs!
Pierce into the darkness!
Rat!
Desperate!
Darkness roared and engulfed him.
