Chapter 4: The Terrifying Old Man

After another half day, the aftermath of Zhongshan Tianmo's body quenching technique came to a complete end.

Born with the fourth degree, Zhongshan felt as if his whole body had an inexhaustible energy, a feeling of breakthrough that had previously emerged throughout his body.

Can a single blood bodhi do this?

Zhongshan gently plucked the last two pieces of Blood Bodhi.

Ling'er, one grain per person, "said Zhongshan.

No need, I don't need it anymore. I don't have ten pills. No, ten pills are useless to me now. You should keep them. Blood Bodhi is a medicinal herb used for healing, you can keep and use it, "Tian Ling'er said immediately.

Hmm. "Zhongshan nodded, without making any further excuses.

Can this be stored in a storage bracelet? "Zhongshan asked.

It's okay, my dad said that Blood Bodhi won't break and can be stored in a storage bracelet for a year without breaking, "Tianlinger thought for a moment and said.

Well, that's good, "Zhong Shan nodded and flipped his hand to collect two Blood Bodhi pills.

Zhongshan, okay, let's go into the cave and take a look. There is Blood Bodhi at the entrance of the cave, and maybe there is something even better inside, "exclaimed Tianling excitedly.

Hmm, "Zhongshan nodded.

However, he still held the big knife in his hand, because while Zhongshan was recovering for half a day, he was surprised to find that this cave was not natural. Although it had a long history and had grown blood bodhi, with Zhongshan's eyes, he could see the strangeness of the cave at a glance. Artificial?

Be careful, follow behind me, "Zhong Shan continued.

Upon hearing Zhong Shan's tone blocking her, for some reason, Tian Ling'er seemed to be enjoying herself very much and was no longer as strong as when she first came out. She just let out a gentle 'hmm'.

Da Dao cleared the way, and Zhong Shan led Tian Ling'er towards the depths of the cave.

As soon as he turned a bend, Zhongshan was surprised to find that the cave was descending, and the further he walked, the deeper he seemed to go underground.

The red light comes from deep underground.

Walking forward, while also paying attention to the structure of the cave, Zhongshan discovered that the excavation of this cave was very unsafe, as if there was a possibility of collapse at any time.

With a furrowed brow, he slowly walked down, and as he went further down, the temperature grew higher. The originally faint red light had now turned into a bright red. For some reason, Zhong Shan suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart. What was going on?

For the area below, Zhongshan still really wants to enter, after all, there may be a big opportunity in front of him, but what is waiting for him?

I have already walked down nearly a kilometer, not the distance in kilometers, but the distance up and down. With kilometers, this cave is a big project, isn't it kilometers?

At this point, Zhongshan felt that the temperature around him had reached a terrifying level, and his clothes were boiling hot, reaching boiling water temperature, no, even higher. Because Zhongshan took out a bowl of water from the storage bracelet, turned his eyes, and a bowl of cold water boiled, emitting a large amount of water vapor.

Putting away the bowl of water, Zhongshan heard a faint 'pu pu' sound coming from below, magma? Yes, it must be magma.

I have already heard the sound of magma rolling, and not to mention, Zhongshan also discovered a peculiar place. On the way down, suddenly, it became misty, with countless water vapor, the kind of water vapor evaporated from boiling water.

A large amount of water vapor sprayed out on the cave wall, but was quickly sucked into the area below.

Zhongshan, what's going on? "Tian Ling'er pointed to the constantly erupting water vapor on the cave wall, full of surprise.

How can water vapor be ejected from rocks? How is that possible? Tianling widened her eyes, looking incredulous.

This is groundwater, which happened to pass through this cave and leaked out, evaporating, "Zhongshan immediately saw the clue.

Groundwater? "Tian Ling'er looked at the scene in surprise. She had heard her father say it before, but this kind of groundwater was rarely encountered. She didn't expect to see it today.

However... "Zhong Shan narrowed his eyes and a hint of seriousness flashed through them.

But what? "Tian Ling'er interrupted immediately. Why didn't you leave suddenly?

However, how does the wind direction inside go towards the bottom of the cave? All the water vapor is sucked into the bottom of the cave, "Zhongshan frowned and thought to himself.

According to Zhongshan's understanding, generally speaking, if there is wind in a deep cave, it can only be because the cave has another exit. However, as the cave descends, the other entrance becomes somewhat peculiar.

Go down and take a look, won't you know? "Tian Ling'er looked excited and quickly darted down.

Ah, wait a moment. "Zhong Shan frowned and followed suit.

At most, I ran down twenty meters and completely walked through the passage.

Magma, rolling magma, on the other end of the cave, is a peculiar environment, a huge magma pool, surrounded by a circle of terraces, with a large hole above, as if leading to a distant volcanic crater.

This is underground lava.

A large amount of water vapor enters and rushes towards the straight hole, flowing upwards.

The magma pool below, with a diameter of about 100 meters, is a huge pool that connects deeper underground. The magma rolls, perhaps due to the material of the magma, producing a large number of magma bubbles that then explode and make a popping sound.

The open air surrounding this circle seems to be artificially made, incredibly flat, and at its deepest point, very abrupt.

As soon as Tianling rushed into it, she quickly retreated back.

It's not too hot, the heat is still within Zhongshan's acceptance range, so Tianling is naturally not afraid because there is a figure inside.

Ghost~"Tian Ling'er stepped back and just fell into Zhong Shan's arms.

Have you finally come down? "Came a very soft voice.

Upon first glance, Zhongshan suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

What kind of person is this?

The person is humanoid, but the lower body, up to the waist, is firmly frozen in ice. The entire lower body is frozen, and the ice is black. Near the magma, there is a slight chill emanating. Through the black ice, Zhongshan saw the person's legs, no, they can no longer be called legs.

My legs were frozen to pieces, turning into broken crystals that looked incredibly terrifying. Even in my right leg, bones were frozen out of my flesh.

This is below the waist, above the waist, better like an extreme, hot, extremely hot. His body was flushed red, but what was most terrifying was his hair.

There were billions of strands of hair on his head, all shining red and connected to the magma. One strand of hair, like a big net in the sky, was scattered into the rolling magma, making people unconsciously feel their hair stand on end.

Seeing these clearly, Zhongshan paid attention to his appearance - an old man, an ugly old man. It makes people feel conflicted at first glance.

Do I look like a ghost? "The terrifying old man smiled faintly.

With a furrowed brow, he looked at the thing in front of him that was neither human nor ghost, and Zhongshan's big knife pointed at him. Be cautious and on guard.

When did you discover us? "Zhongshan said calmly.

When you eat Blood Bodhi, "the old man's ugly face revealed a frightening smile.

At this moment, Tian Ling'er also knew that it was not a ghost anymore. In Zhong Shan's arms, she turned her head to look at the person.

Sorry to bother senior. Let's go now, "Zhong Shan immediately said, holding Tian Ling'er and slightly retreating.

My old man, it's been a hundred years since I last saw a living person. Can't you talk to me? "The ugly old man suddenly showed a hint of sadness.

Seeing the old man like this, Tianling's original terror instantly turned into a trace of pity. How lonely would it be to not see a living person for a hundred years? Let's talk to him!

Sorry senior, we have important matters outside. Come visit us again when you have time next time, "Zhongshan continued to step back. Not at all shaken by the old man's pity.

Seeing that Zhongshan still had to leave, the old man's expression became stern and his eyes widened. Suddenly, Zhongshan couldn't move.

Zhongshan looked at the scene in horror and couldn't move anymore? What's going on? That old man, did he take action? Similarly, Tianling's eyes widened wide, filled with disbelief. Because Tianling seems to be unable to move either.

I'm just looking for someone to talk to, "the old man said again.

Then, Zhong Shan and Tian Ling'er slowly floated up, slowly lifted off the ground, and flew towards the old man.

Ah~What are you doing? "Exclaimed Tianling.

Senior, if we don't leave, just let us down, "Zhongshan immediately shouted.

Dong "

The two fell not far from the old man.

Looking at the old man, looking at such a strong old man, just one glance, just one glance makes oneself and Ling'er unable to move, strong, absolutely strong.

Zhong Shan was extremely careful. In front of the old man, he rolled his hand and put his big knife into the storage bracelet. Eliminate the guard of the elderly.

Sure enough, the old man saw Zhongshan's movements and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, but did Zhongshan give up resistance? Putting away the big knife is just a temporary measure, Zhongshan is more careful than ever at this moment.

You, are you using your divine sense to block my actions? Even my father can't do it. Are you stronger than my father? "Tian Ling'er immediately got up and looked at the old man.

Perhaps. "A very ugly smile appeared on the old man's withered face.
