In the darkness of the night, Ling Yun's tall figure descended eight meters in the blink of an eye!
The walls of the sinkhole were slanted the deeper one went. Even though it wasn't obvious, after falling eight meters straight, the landing spot he had his eye on was already half a meter away from his body.
Fortunately, Ling Yun was skilled and daring. He waited until his shoulder was parallel to the rock protruding from the precipice before he silently activated the Stellar Condensation Technique. His right hand shot out at lightning speed, and his index and middle fingers pierced into the rock, instantly stopping his falling figure.
Ling Yun's body hung on the cliff four hundred meters deep. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that he had overestimated himself.
I didn't expect the rocks here to be so hard! Ling Yun thought to himself.
If it wasn't for the fact that Ling Yun's Stellar Condensation Technique had reached the second major realm, Ling Yun wouldn't have even been able to explore the crater.
Even with Ling Yun's current physical strength, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the impact of falling from a height of four hundred meters. Otherwise, he would have jumped down long ago.
Ling Yun hung on the cliff for a while and looked down at the precipice below. He couldn't find a suitable landing spot. He reached out his left hand and placed it on the cliff. With a light push of his palm, his body flew into the air and landed firmly on the cliff.
The rock protruding from the cliff was only the size of a washbasin. It was only big enough for one person to stand on. Moreover, because the cliff was extremely steep, Ling Yun had to bend his body slightly and stick his body tightly to the cliff to barely stand.
At a depth of eight meters, the moonlight couldn't reach this position. He was completely surrounded by darkness. If an ordinary person was in the same situation, they would probably have lost control of their bowels and pee. However, Ling Yun was calm and composed.
Once again, he stuck two fingers into the broken rock. Even though he felt that he could use all his strength to stick it in, it was too exhausting. If he were to reach the bottom of the crater like this, he would have used up more than half of his spiritual energy.
After reaching the second major realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique, Ling Yun's body was as tough as iron and stone. However, that was only referring to the toughness and defense of his body. It didn't mean that his fingers could cut through iron as though it was mud. It didn't mean that he could insert his fingers into a hard rock like it was tofu.
This was like having a steel nail and using it to hammer into a rock. Although the steel nail was hard and sharp enough, if one did not have enough strength to hammer it, it would not be able to be hammered in. Even if it was bent, it would not be able to be hammered in.
Ling Yun took out the Emperor Brush without hesitation and tried using it. Sure enough, the tip of the Emperor Brush was invincible. He inserted the Emperor Brush into the hard rock effortlessly.
Ling Yun grabbed the Emperor Brush with one hand and tested his body in the air again. He only started to climb down after confirming that there were no problems.
With Ling Yun's skills, it was easy for him to climb the cliff as long as there was a place for him to borrow strength from. Ling Yun didn't dare to be careless anymore. He started to descend at a close distance. He would insert the Emperor Brush into the rock every two meters and stop to observe carefully before continuing down.
Just like that, a few minutes later, Ling Yun finally found a new foothold about fifty meters deep in the crater. This time, the foothold had a radius of more than one meter. Ling Yun sat down and began to observe the surroundings.
So many caves!
Ling Yun activated his eyesight and looked around. He realized that at this depth, caves began to appear on the cliffs of the Giant Sinkhole, especially on the opposite and two sides of Ling Yun. There were all kinds of grotesque shapes, and the caves were extremely irregular. In the darkness, they looked like the mouths of monsters.
Ling Yun knew that fifty meters deep would be the best choice if the rich and powerful of the ancient times were to be buried.
In the entire Qingshui City, the place with the best Fengshui and the most abundant spiritual energy was the Qingshui Lake scenic area. Within the scenic area, the best Fengshui was the valley between Dragon Mountain and Nancui Peak. If the tomb owners were to choose a place, they would definitely choose this place.
There's more than one tomb! So many people are buried here …
Ling Yun analyzed carefully. Some of these caves were naturally formed, but there were also many that weren't. There were obvious traces of man-made excavation. Without a doubt, these were definitely ancient tombs.
However, Ling Yun didn't come here to rob tombs. He had more important things to do. Hence, he decided to continue down.
"Bang!"
Just as Ling Yun was about to get up again, he suddenly heard a muffled gunshot coming from one of the caves. Very quickly, there were a few more random gunshots.
"Flap, flap, flap …" Dozens of large birds that were frightened by the gunshots flew out of some caves. However, they didn't fly high but circled rapidly within the crater.
"F * ck, there really are tomb robbers! Are they fighting because of an uneven distribution of loot, or did they encounter zombies? "
Ling Yun waited on the mountain rock for a while. After confirming that there were no more movements, he started to descend again.
Zombies and Yin spirits weren't the same thing. The Yin spirits that Ling Yun was looking for would only appear within the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell. They wouldn't be in these tombs.
As he descended another ten meters, the number of caves on Ling Yun's side gradually increased. This undoubtedly made his climb much easier. That was because every cave was the best foothold.
Some of these caves extended straight into the mountain, some slanted upwards, and some went downwards. Who knew where they led to?
However, Ling Yun didn't have the desire to explore. He quickly descended another forty meters.
After passing through this dense area of caves, the number of caves started to decrease. Furthermore, they were all natural caves.
Ling Yun had already descended more than a hundred meters, which was a quarter of the depth of the crater. Looking up from here, it already felt like he was looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. The deeper he went, the darker it got. From here, the crater seemed strangely bright.
From here, the cliff was more than a hundred meters straight, and there were many protruding footholds. Ling Yun held the Emperor Brush in his hand in case of emergencies. He used the same method as before.
In the pitch-black darkness, Ling Yun jumped down the vertical cliff. Sometimes, he jumped eight meters, and sometimes, he jumped fifteen meters. Every time he fell, he would reach his target steadily. In less than a minute, he had descended another hundred meters.
As he descended, Ling Yun could clearly feel the temperature rising. He was now in the middle of the crater. He felt that the air was very humid, and the temperature was almost as high as it was during the day.
The crater was foggy, and visibility was even lower. Ling Yun's eyesight was at its limits, but he could only see a distance of ten meters.
The rocks on the cliff had also started to drip with water. Every foothold was slippery, and he might slip if he wasn't careful.
There are still two hundred meters left, and it's getting so steep! Ling Yun could only vaguely see about ten meters down. He realized that the cliff below was getting abnormally steep, and he was almost parallel to the ground.
Since that was the case, there wasn't much difference between Ling Yun crawling forward or backward. If he crawled forward, it was just that his head was lower and his feet were higher. However, it was faster this way.
Ling Yun's left hand stabbed the Emperor Brush deeply into the rock, and his right hand had no choice but to use the Stellar Condensation Technique. With every step, he would dig his fingers deep into the rock like a lizard crawling down a wall.
Even though the distance was only fifty meters, the reason why the sinkhole had a large bottom and a small mouth was mainly because of this stretch. Even though Ling Yun was agile, it still took him more than ten minutes to crawl over.
After these fifty meters, the cliff became less steep. After descending another forty meters, it finally became vertical again.
Ling Yun sat down on a rock to rest. He was drenched, not from perspiration, but from the water dripping from the rocks.
Even though Ling Yun was on top of a cliff, it was as if he was in the middle of a huge mountain. His surroundings were pitch black, and he couldn't see the entrance of the pit even though it was three hundred meters above him.
Visibility was less than ten meters.
At this moment, Ling Yun heard two more gunshots. Then, he heard a scream that was worse than a pig being slaughtered. It drowned out the sound of the underground river. With a "woo" sound, a figure fell straight to the bottom of the pit.
"Pa …" Another two to three seconds later, the sound of that person landing on the ground reached Ling Yun's ears.
Falling like that, even if he wasn't shot to death, he would be smashed into meat paste.
"Humans die for wealth, and birds die for food!" Ling Yun sneered coldly with a hint of mockery.
Ling Yun stood up and started jumping along the vertical cliff. This time, it was much easier for him. He was only a hundred meters away from the bottom of the crater. Based on his physical strength and excellent movement techniques, he wouldn't be afraid even if he lost his footing and fell.
As he got closer to the bottom of the crater, Ling Yun's expression became extremely relaxed. He descended another fifty meters with seven or eight leaps and fixed himself on a huge protruding rock.
Even though he couldn't see, Ling Yun knew that he would face countless toads once he reached the bottom of the crater. He had to think of a plan before continuing.
However, at this moment, something strange happened!
Ling Yun felt a strong gust of wind behind him. It was heading straight for the back of his head!
He didn't have time to turn back. He activated the Stellar Condensation Technique and the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability at the same time. His body moved more than three meters away from his original position, and he took out a handful of nails from his spatial ring. With a flick of his hand, he used the Shower of Flowers technique!
From the moment Ling Yun sensed it to the moment he dodged, the entire process was completed in a second. Ling Yun didn't even have time to see what was attacking him.
"Chi Chi … …" More than a dozen iron nails wrapped in a strong wind hit the body of the black shadow.
At this time, Ling Yun had also seen clearly what was attacking him. It was a python as thick as a bowl!
"You're courting death!"
Ling Yun blamed himself for being too nervous after seeing that it was a python. He snorted coldly and rushed forward with the Emperor Brush! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for me at Qidian (). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
