Chapter 2421 Danger in the Crevice
The wind carried a salty, fishy, wild smell, a unique odor of the damp earth.
Immortal Mingke took out a paper flower from his pocket, threw it forward, and the paper flower floated in mid-air, its color changing from white to dark black.
His expression changed slightly: "Such a strong demonic aura."
But the petals of the paper flower slowly open, reaching full bloom, and then gradually close again.
Then it opened again, then closed again...
Although slow, it has a good rhythm.
After observing for a while, Immortal Mingke asked, "Doesn't this resemble the rhythm of a heartbeat?"
He Lingchuan knew exactly what he was asking: "Does a stone man's heart beat like that?"
“No, this is just a fluctuation of demonic energy,” said Immortal Mingke. “My paper flower is extremely sensitive to demonic energy and can detect even the slightest changes in it.”
He turned and glanced at He Lingchuan: "Shall we go down?"
Just now, Shangguan Biao entered the underground world from this spot. The protruding white stone on the ground is the same as the one Ming Ke Immortal remembered. Could their destination really be within this stone nest?
“The servants of Changfeng Valley regularly go down to clean the nests, which means this place is usually deserted and safe. But just to be on the safe side, let’s use our supernatural powers to scout ahead first.” After saying that, He Lingchuan took out a handful of red hazelnuts and threw them into the crevice.
This is a small scouting tool made by Fu Liushan, with different uses distinguished by color. He Lingchuan thought it was useful, so he took it and put it in his pocket.
The hazelnuts sprouted legs as soon as they landed, and their bodies swelled to the size of an egg. Chirping and twittering, they rolled down the crack into the ground.
The three of them stood on the ground and could still hear the echoes of the hazelnut people coming from afar below.
They roll very fast, arguing and bickering all the while, never stopping.
He Lingchuan also provided an explanation for Mingke Immortal: "If there is no danger below, they will come back to report to their master in a while."
"I know." Immortal Mingke also possesses several of these trivial tricks.
"But there's also a little surprise in it, which is—"
He Lingchuan deliberately dragged out his words, then gave a short, low shout:
"Get out of the way!"
As he exhaled and made a sound, he lunged to one side.
As soon as he moved, Aunt Zhu jumped up without hesitation.
Immortal Mingke was taken aback, but after entering the secret realm, he had been secretly gathering his true energy and didn't waste a moment before dodging to the side.
Then, a loud bang came from the crevice!
A series of explosions followed.
A dozen shots were fired at once.
A violent gust of air rushed out from the crevice in the ground. If He Lingchuan and the others hadn't dodged in time, they would probably have been sprayed all over their heads and faces.
Besides scouting, those hazelnut figures are all incredibly hot-tempered. Despite their small size, the power of their explosions can be stacked.
It came and went, more powerful than dynamite used for blasting mountains.
Immortal Mingke, with his sharp eyes, noticed that the hazelnut figurine exploded not only with stone fragments, but also with a green liquid and a soft, black, unidentified object!
Not right.
The ground bounced up the instant after the explosion.
It wasn't a figure of speech; the enormous "crack in the ground" really did leap up and pounce on the three of them!
This scene made the hairs on Aunt Zhu's legs stand on end.
As the "crevice" left the ground, it shed its disguise, and everyone could see that it was not a crevice at all, but a gaping maw of abyss!
However, the mouths of normal living creatures are curved and their shapes are not so irregular.
Its true form can only be seen from the side.
This irregularly shaped, large mouth takes up half of its total volume, and the body behind its head is flat and smooth, as if it had been squeezed hard by a door.
Aunt Zhu exclaimed, "Stone anglerfish!"
Shangguan Biao had been here before and spent a long time cleaning up below. The three of them subconsciously assumed that the area he had been through should be relatively safe, so they would most likely choose to go down the same way.
The master of the secret realm took advantage of this psychology, covering the real crevice with a monster, making the place look incredibly realistic.
If the three of them went down, they would be walking straight into the belly of a fish, committing suicide.
This creature is called an anglerfish. Its ambush method is very similar to that of its underwater relatives, except that it operates on rugged land. It usually just crouches down on the ground, and nearby prey walks by and gets close to its large mouth.
However, the live anglerfish isn't this big; this is a monster from the secret realm that Shangguan Biao modified.
Even though the three had jumped away, the anglerfish opened its large mouth, and its shadow still covered the three prey.
Immortal Mingke swung his whisk forward with a sudden flick, generating a tremendous force that propelled him backward.
Faced with such unknown danger, he naturally had to temporarily avoid confrontation before launching another attack.
Just as he was about to sweep his two companions away, the young general from Cangyan suddenly grabbed a long spear with his right hand and swung it horizontally from left to right at the gaping maw of the abyss in front of him!
The spear, ten feet long, appeared as thin as an embroidery needle in the face of this colossal, mountain-like shadow.
But his gun-wielding movements were fierce, swift, and decisive, with an unstoppable momentum.
Aunt Zhu and Immortal Mingke, who were standing nearby, could see it clearly: the tip of the spear was radiating a dark purple aura, which from a distance looked like a violent giant blade slicing through the giant mouth of the stone anglerfish.
The contact between the two was silent and unnoticed.
The anglerfish's gaping maw was originally a deep darkness, but after this attack, a light appeared in front of the three of them.
The three men charged forward at great speed, with He Lingchuan leading the way, turning his spear tip and thrusting it forward sharply—
He actually knocked off the upper jaw of the anglerfish!
It turns out that the spear energy just now was invisible but had substance, and it flattened the upper jaw of the stone anglerfish like a chainsaw!
The wound was perfectly smooth, inside and out, even more precise than a ruler could measure.
The power of a single strike is so great!
He Lingchuan thrust the spear forward again, and the palate naturally fell off, restoring sight to the three of them.
Let alone how the master of this secret realm would react upon seeing this, even Immortal Mingke was greatly surprised. This Cang Yan general, once he makes a move, is unstoppable!
This stone anglerfish was made by Shangguan Biao from the rocky shell of Mother Earth. Its hardness is comparable to refined gold. Even Immortal Ming Ke dared not say that he could definitely break it. He Lingchuan could cut off half of its head with a single spear thrust in mid-air!
So strong!
Have the generals of the human kingdom reached such a level of combat skills and supernatural abilities?
The three landed on the back of the stone anglerfish and saw that the monster's belly was riddled with holes and felt soft underfoot, probably because it had been injured by the hazelnut man.
After He Lingchuan shaved off its head, the strange fish could no longer hold on and lay motionless on the ground.
Since this was a carefully prepared trap by the master of the secret realm, and the stone anglerfish's internal space clearly held some mystery, if the three of them were truly swallowed, they would be in deep trouble. After all, Shangguan Biao had also received the true teachings of his sect, and Changfeng Valley was known for its spatial supernatural abilities.
Therefore, He Lingchuan chopped the stone anglerfish with a single stroke, determined not to be led by the nose by the master of the secret realm.
