Chapter 767 Big Snake Castle?
The cave was very dark.
The two of them reached out and touched the walls as they moved forward.
Qingcheng stopped, intending to start a fire for illumination.
Qin Feng, however, accidentally touched the area in front of her.
Strange.
What is this? It feels fleshy, somewhat familiar... no, slightly familiar by touch...
As Qin Feng was feeling puzzled, Qingcheng had already ignited a flame with her inner strength on her fingertip to use as light, looking at Qin Feng, "Is this what you wanted?"
Only then did Qin Feng realize he touched the wrong spot and hurriedly withdrew his hand, embarrassed.
At that moment.
The flame on Qingcheng's fingertip was quickly weakening, even vanishing!
"What's happening?"
Both were astonished.
Qingcheng once again channeled her inner strength to ignite the flame.
She was a Seventh Grade Grandmaster.
She could transform qi into reality, meaning, according to the cultivation technique she practiced, she could convert it into substantial power, such as those practicing fire attribute cultivation methods, who could condense flames with inner strength!
"Strange!"
Qingcheng watched the flame she had condensed weaken again, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
Then.
She formed seals with both hands, condensing the flame anew.
This time, the flame burning on her fingertips was of a crimson color, which was the Red Fire!
Red Fire, was the treasure of their Red Fire Palace.
For the past hundred years, besides the previous Palace Master, only she had managed to utilize Red Fire for her own use, much more powerful than ordinary fire!
Indeed.
This time, the flame did not extinguish quickly.
However, it was visibly weakening, and Qingcheng could only keep channeling her inner strength to barely maintain its burning.
"This place is not good."
Qingcheng remarked.
Qin Feng also felt something odd, took out a Spiritual Energy Gem, and then activated his inner strength.
Under normal circumstances.
Channeling inner strength into the gemstone would make the gemstone flash dazzlingly.
But right now, the gemstone just flickered once and then became dull.
Strangely.
Their cultivation was still intact; there was nothing suppressing their own cultivation.
"Could it be that only light sources are being suppressed here?"
Qingcheng suggested.
"Let me try."
Qin Feng activated the Separation Fire Essence and ignited a flame on his finger.
The white flame also showed signs of extinguishing.
However, after flickering several times, it burned brightly and strongly!
"It seems that Separation Fire is still stronger."
Qin Feng said.
Seeing this, Qingcheng also envied his Separation Fire.
However, different fires have different advantages; if combined with her cultivation, the Red Fire could exert even more powerful strength.
The surroundings were illuminated.
The two continued walking forward.
At that moment.
Suddenly, from somewhere ahead came a loud scream: "Ahh—!!"
"There's someone!!"
Qingcheng became alert.
Qin Feng also proceeded cautiously, moving forward.
For a full half hour.
The two discovered that this place was full of holes, some above, some below, some to the left, some to the right, even encountering three holes at once, and they could only navigate by intuition!
Moreover.
These holes seemed interconnected.
That is to say.
This seemed to be a gigantic maze!
What was more terrifying was, along the way, they encountered numerous corpses.
There were skeletons that seemed to have died many years ago, and also people who had died not long ago.
"There must be monsters here."
Qin Feng squatted down, looking at a corpse that was left with only one arm and said.
Clearly.
The rest of the body must have been eaten by a monster.
"The atmosphere here is a bit off; perhaps we should retreat first."
Qingcheng said,
"But, haven't you noticed? We are lost..."
Qin Feng said.
"..."
Qingcheng, embarrassed, had just realized that they had been lost for quite some time.
There are too many holes here.
They had no idea which one to exit through.
"The air here is thin; staying here for a long time is not good for us," Qingcheng said.
"Then it seems, there's only one way."
Qin Feng dropped the arm, saying, "We dig our way out."
"Dig?"
"Yes, we are inside a mountain peak, as long as we keep digging in the same direction, we will eventually get out. I think with some hard work, my Life and Death Blade won't find it too difficult," Qin Feng said.
"..."
Qingcheng appeared somewhat bewildered.
She hadn't expected him to come up with such a method.
Cuomei Peak is very large.
How much effort would it take to dig out?
At this moment.
Suddenly, they heard noises coming from not far away.
"Quick! Quick! This way, there's light!!"
"Keep up the pace!"
"..."
Very soon.
A group of people seeking the light arrived where Qin Feng was.
"Great, there's light! Finally, there's light!!" The group was so excited that they almost cried as they looked at the flame burning on Qin Feng's finger.
"Who are you?" Qingcheng asked.
Seeing Qingcheng, all of the group's eyes widened.
Beautiful!
She was incredibly beautiful!!
Moreover, beneath her beauty, there shined an unquestionable aura of royalty, making people dare not look her in the eyes.
Of course,
some were audacious.
The leader was a One-eyed Bald man, quite corpulent, staring greedily at Qingcheng, nearly drooling, and said: "It's been so long since I've seen such a beautiful lady, hehehe, beautiful lady, what's your name?"
Slap!
Qingcheng slapped him in the vacuum.
A fiery palm wind slapped him right across his face!
The One-eyed Bald's face burned painfully, and he furiously exclaimed: "Damn it! Dare to slap my face, I will deal with you right now!!"
Before he had finished.
Qingcheng backhanded another slap in the vacuum.
The One-eyed Bald was about to retaliate.
But he was quickly stopped by his subordinates, who whispered to him, "Master Biao, she, her cultivation is higher than ours..."
"Oh?!"
The One-eyed Bald stared again at Qingcheng.
He immediately felt the powerful aura emanating from her body.
He was a Fourth Grade Grandmaster.
While Qingcheng was a Seventh Grade Grandmaster, though he could not sense her true cultivation, he could feel her strength!
The One-eyed Bald, suddenly stunned, knelt before Qingcheng begging for mercy: "Queen, spare my life, I admit my mistake, please spare my life..."
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Qingcheng asked.
The One-eyed Bald began to narrate.
It turns out they were not from Qinling but from Big Snake Castle, not far from Qinling, where they had been raising snakes for generations.
But they encountered a master who has been slaughtering their snakes, killing as many as eighty thousand, claiming to be searching for something called the "Snake Heart."
They had never heard of any Snake Heart, but they couldn't defeat the master.
Having no other option,
they came to Qinling in search.
Hearing that a "Dragon Cave" had appeared in Qinling, where giant pythons had been seen which possibly harbored the "Snake Heart" the master sought, they came in search of it, to save the Big Snake Castle clan.
Unexpectedly, this place was too difficult.
They had sent several people before, all of whom never returned.
The leading One-eyed Bald Master Biao was the third wave of people sent, also the last fighting force of Big Snake Castle; now only a dozen remained, truly a dire situation.
"We beg the Queen to spare our lives! Once we are gone, no one can protect our Big Snake Castle anymore, and it will be completely finished..."
The One-eyed Bald and his people knelt and begged.
"So that's how it is, tell me about the situation here."
Qingcheng asked again.
