C188 The Crack in the Abyss
C188 The Crack in the Abyss
Fortunately, ever since he sank, the black snake had never appeared again, giving him a chance to catch his breath.
Eight hundred meters.
Nine hundred meters.
One thousand meters.
Yang Xuan kept estimating the distance he was sinking until he reached one thousand five hundred meters. Only then did he stop.
Below him was still the multicolored light. If it wasn't for the fact that the light was able to support his body, causing the Spiritual Force that was sinking to be extremely little, and the Essence Qi in the surroundings to help him replenish some of it, he would have been exhausted a long time ago.
The only thing that changed along the way was the rock walls on both sides of the cave. At first, it was the same as before, but after the distance of a thousand meters had passed... The rock walls began to shrink, and the further down they went, the narrower they became. At this point, it was only three to four meters wide.
"It's not possible to sink any deeper. That black snake might have already left!"
He looked up. This place was simply bottomless. Coupled with the existence of that strange black snake, he no longer had any thoughts of searching.
However, just as he was about to float up, a black shadow suddenly appeared above him diagonally.
The black snake coiled its body in the light and looked down at Yang Xuan from above. The snake's tongue kept flicking and flicking, emitting waves of dangerous aura.
"Damn it, it's targeting me!"
Yang Xu gritted his teeth and placed the silver shield in front of him. At the same time, a white light shone in his hand and a Spiritual Force light ball was formed.
This was the simplest method, and its lethality wasn't high. But now, he didn't have any weapons that he could use. After all, he had been using the Longevity Sword the entire time. He had lost it all of a sudden, and hadn't found a suitable treasure yet.
The only lethality was the crimson wooden sword, but it was related to his cultivation. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn't use it.
The black snake was entrenched on the top. When it saw that Yang Xuan was ready to attack, it also started to swim. However, it did not attack, and only blocked the way up.
Yang Xuan tried to move to the side, and the black snake also floated over, blocking above him.
"This guy, could it be that he doesn't want me to go up?"
He remembered that when he had just descended, the black snake had never appeared close to a hundred meters away. The moment it appeared, it was attacked, and even pushed him back by nearly a hundred meters.
After he decided to continue sinking, the black snake once again stopped.
The white light in his hand gradually dissipated, and his eyes stared at the black snake that was three meters away for a long time.
This was the limit of what could be seen in the multicolored light, and if one went further, they would disappear from his field of vision.
Yang Xuan suddenly thought of this, and combined it with the black snake's actions, he was startled. "This guy, could it be that he opened the spiritual wisdom?"
He was no longer the stunned kid in the courtyard. With the lesson from the Black Panther, even if the black snake suddenly opened its mouth to speak, he would not find it strange.
Furthermore, this was a strange snake with two horns on its head.
After hesitating for a moment, he immediately waved his hand at the black snake and said in a clear voice, "Brother Snake, do you understand what I'm saying?"
He had an awkward smile on his face, but his heart was filled with anxiety.
Although this black snake's attack method was simple, its strength was enormous. Its body was also incomparably hard. It was not something he could deal with now. If he could communicate with it, it would naturally be best.
When the black snake heard Yang Xuan's voice, it looked at him with its golden eyes, but its body did not stop moving.
"Don't you understand?"
Yang Xuan frowned. There was no reaction from the snake. If it wanted him to sink, with the current difference in strength, there was no need for it to waste so much effort.
"It seems like I have indeed opened the spiritual wisdom, but I haven't reached the Black Panther realm yet, so I can't understand human language."
He quickly came to a conclusion in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he continued to sink downwards.
With the black snake on top of him, it was virtually impossible to return to the shore. The only choice he had now was to follow the other party's thoughts and continue to sink.
Besides, if he could find the opportunity left behind by the old ancestor of Chiang Country, he might still have the strength to resist.
One thousand seven hundred meters.
1800 meters.
2,000 meters.
At this point, the space around them became narrower and narrower. There was actually a gap of more than a meter between them, just enough for one person to sink.
The multicolored light faded at this time. It was already able to see the surrounding seven or eight meters clearly. With the scattering of the multicolored light, the surroundings also began to dim.
"This is a crack!"
Yang Xuan looked down and was shocked.
This wasn't a river, it was a bottomless crack in the abyss. Below, endless darkness seemed to devour everything. It was silent and terrifying.
The multicolored light was just a layer of cover from the crack. It only faded away after reaching this place, and it would disappear completely if it continued downwards.
Yang Xuan took a look at the endless abyss below and hurriedly pulled his body a little higher, allowing the multicolored light to completely envelop him.
"Looks like something must have gone wrong with the ancestral teachings of the old ancestor of Chiang Country. How could he leave such an opportunity in such an abyss?"
He muttered to himself with a worried look in his eyes.
After reaching the Third Stage, one could float in the air for a short period of time. However, it would consume a lot of Spiritual Force's energy, especially when they were moving. It would be difficult for them to hold on for too long.
It wouldn't take much effort for him to sink, but with his current cultivation base, he could only sink down a few hundred meters at most. At that time, he would be able to return to his original position. If he went any deeper, he would have no choice but to pray.
If he still couldn't see the bottom after sinking a thousand meters, then he would lose his support because of the loss of the Spiritual Force.
This was also because he had the Soul Absorption Bead, which could continuously replenish his Spiritual Force. Moreover, his own Spiritual Force was very strong. If it was an ordinary cultivator, two hundred meters would be the limit.
The black snake was still wandering above its head. After the multicolored light diluted, it stopped seven or eight meters away from Yang Xuan, and was always at a vague distance.
Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the black snake. Suddenly, his heart moved.
His body quickly sank downwards, directly out of the range of the light. Then, his speed became even faster. In just a few breaths of time, he sank dozens of meters deep.
"That black snake only knows how to use its physical body to attack. It might not know any magic. If it can't release the light, then it will be easy to deal with it."
Yang Xuan stopped and looked up nervously. The light of the light was very conspicuous in the abyss, allowing him to see the black snake's figure clearly.
However, he was outside the light. There was no light around him. If the black snake didn't come down, it probably wouldn't be able to see him.
As he expected, the black snake swam for a distance and stopped when it reached the edge of the rays of light. It kept spitting out its tongue in the direction where Yang Xuan had disappeared. It did not chase after him.
