Chapter 383 Black Sun
Chapter 383 Black Sun
At this moment, Wu Xie's memory was incredibly clear. When he was very young, he went to Wu Sansheng's study to find him one day.
But he was so frightened by the terrifying doll that he burst into tears, and in the end, Wu Sansheng said he would throw the doll away.
That matter was finally over.
But the doll from the dream reappeared, and its sudden appearance gave Wu Xie a bad feeling.
"Don't overthink it. You're probably just too tired, and the eerie environment here is what's causing your nightmares."
Huo Xiuxiu offered a soft word of comfort.
Xie Yuchen didn't speak, but he kept the doll Wu Xie mentioned in his heart.
Wu Xie's special nature was understood by Xie Yuchen, which was why he did not force his childhood friend to leave.
"Don't worry, Xiuxiu, I'm fine. Let's hurry and catch up with the group, or we'll fall too far behind that Uncle Cheng."
The two deeply agreed with Wu Xie's words, so they quickly went to the tomb entrance and climbed up the shrines embedded in the stone door.
On the other side, in the deep darkness, Cheng Feng's eyes transformed into boundless demonic pupils.
They used a rope to lead everyone forward.
Once you get here, everyone else is practically blind; the surrounding rocks are made of some kind of light-absorbing material.
Even with flashlights, their field of vision was only about two meters in front of them; any further and they could only vaguely see a dark shadow.
"Master, shouldn't we wait for Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan?"
Huo Ling followed Cheng Feng's side, while A Xiang was on the other side. Although they had been through the baptism of Lei Cheng, their skills were much better than ordinary people.
However, they have experienced too few life-or-death battles, just like a toddler holding a sniper rifle, unable to unleash its full power.
Therefore, Cheng Feng made a point of keeping them close at hand.
"No need, there's something here to help them get through safely, so the people behind them will be fine."
Looking at the deep darkness ahead, Cheng Feng said meaningfully.
The people behind them felt a chill run down their spines. Something wanted them to pass by. What was that thing?
Under the Boundless Demon Eyes, darkness could not obstruct Cheng Feng's vision.
Soon, Cheng Feng saw a huge rocky mountain appear in the distance.
It was a single, complete boulder, oval in shape, with traces of human carving.
"Everyone, cheer up, we're almost at the main tomb."
After turning his gaze away, Cheng Feng encouraged the people behind him.
"Old Zhang, I'll avenge you later. We'll drag the tomb owner out of the coffin and whip him with a small leather whip!"
Although Hei Xiazi said this in a joking tone, those who know him well know that...
Often, these kinds of jokes are what he genuinely wants to do.
Although Zhang Qiling did not speak in the darkness, he nodded slightly.
He knew that even if others couldn't see it, Hei Xiazi definitely could.
Hei Xiazi, a few meters away from Zhang Qiling, chuckled softly. Although the mute Zhang didn't speak often...
But after so many years of contact, Hei Xiazi felt that this taciturn guy was actually quite reliable.
"arrive."
Cheng Feng stopped and looked up at the darkness ahead.
Chen Wenjin and Yang Xueli then each took out a flare from their backpacks.
A few seconds later, two orange-red flares rose up, instantly illuminating the darkness in the area.
"What a huge project!"
Looking at the mausoleum built from a single massive stone, Huo Ling couldn't help but sigh.
The boulder is grayish-white in color and is taller than a twenty-story building, standing there like a small hill.
However, as the flares rose higher, the cliff behind the massive royal tomb was also illuminated.
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to what was on the cliff face, and some of the Unloading Ridge disciples in the group couldn't help but gasp.
A gigantic black spot was embedded in the gray cliff face.
Its edges radiate outwards, resembling a pitch-black sun.
When the members of the Unloading Ridge Clan saw this huge black spot, they all felt an indescribable sense of fear.
This is a form of suppression at the level of life itself, which is unavoidable and impossible to change.
Even the usually decisive Chen Wenjin couldn't help but tug at Cheng Feng's clothes, as if only in this way could she feel a sense of security.
At this moment, in Cheng Feng's vision, the black spot was emitting a black mist.
Although they were still far apart, a faint black mist was already surrounding them.
"Snap out of it, stop staring at that thing and explore the imperial tomb ahead first."
After Cheng Feng spoke, everyone was relieved of their fear of the black spots, and the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect lowered their gazes.
Heeding Cheng Feng's advice, he stopped looking at the black spots on the surface.
Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi also came to their senses at this moment. Their expressions were serious, and even the usually unserious Hei Xiazi had lost his smile.
"So this is the so-called Great Demon Black Pool? It truly is incredibly demonic!"
Although Hei Xiazi spoke in a flippant tone, everyone could still detect a hint of seriousness in his voice.
At this moment, Cheng Feng's gaze swept over Yang Xueli, and then his expression showed some surprise.
After thinking for a moment, a palm-sized piece of meteorite jade suddenly appeared in Cheng Feng's hand, and he threw it to a disciple of the Unloading Ridge Sect.
"Take this and walk three meters to the side."
Without saying a word, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect broke away from the group, walked three meters to the side, and then stood in place to wait for Cheng Feng's other orders.
At this moment, in Cheng Feng's vision, as the disciple moved, the black mist retreated as if it were a mouse encountering an old cat.
They left about two meters of clean space for the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect.
"It seems this place is indeed closely related to the ultimate truth."
Cheng Feng told the disciple to return to the group, and then spoke softly.
Chen Wenjin and the other three women stared at Cheng Feng, waiting for him to continue.
"Actually, this thing isn't some great demon's black pool."
The Ultimate One fell from the sky, and the monster that was born with it separated from the Ultimate One and fell to this place.
This is the so-called Lu, which absorbed the invisible dragon energy originating from Kunlun and used itself to make the dragon vein tangible.
This black stone is the dragon vein it transformed into.
At this point, the sense of horror in everyone's hearts intensified; this was far more terrifying than any great demon, the Black Pool.
"Master, if it is indeed Lu, then hasn't it already discovered us?"
Huo Ling couldn't help but steal a glance at the dark sun above, and spoke with a slight chill down her spine.
"Yes, it noticed us as soon as we opened the tomb door."
Those black mists are Lu's tentacles, and the fear that the others felt was also the influence of the black mist.
Seeing the somber expressions on everyone's faces, Cheng Feng took out more than ten pieces of meteorite jade from the imaginary space.
“Everyone should take one; the meteorite jade can protect you from Lu’s influence.”
As soon as Cheng Feng finished speaking, Hei Xiazi and Zhang Qiling were the first to pick up a meteorite jade.
Soon, the two noticed a subtle difference.
"That inexplicable sense of fear seems to have faded quite a bit."
