Despite knowing that the Heavenly Dao Killing Formation was at the bottom of the ancient well, Qin Zhuolin still wanted to go down.
The blood moon hung high in the sky beside the ancient well.
Qin Zhuolin made up his mind to go down and investigate. Aside from the fact that he had already promised the Heavenly Fragrance's Holy Daughter, Qin Zhuolin had also decided to investigate.
Firstly, he was confident in his own strength, and secondly, he wanted to see what was down there.
Thinking about how Zhang Xuan even dared to touch the ancient tomb of a Hellguard, Zhang Xuan felt a little relieved.
"I'll go down with you."
Looking at the reflection of the blood moon in the well, Xiao Chen said softly.
Finding it strange, Qin Zhuolin asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Originally, Xiao Chen planned to explore the ancient well after he broke through to Sovereign Personage. Now, he was already a Small Perfection Sovereign Personage.
Since Qin Zhuolin insisted on going down, she might as well go down with him. At least, she could take care of him.
Qin Zhuolin thought for a while before nodding. "That's fine. After all, you went down once. However, think about it carefully. You might not be as lucky as you were last time."
"Even if you don't go, I will go down alone."
Qin Zhuolin looked at Xiao Chen strangely. Xiao Chen should be hiding something from him. However, that did not matter. Everyone had their own secrets.
Wasn't he the same?
"Let's go."
The two of them jumped into the ancient well one after the other.
The spring water was clear, and the reflection in the water was a cold blood moon. It looked like the two of them were rushing toward the blood moon.
Thump!
Not long after, the two of them dived into the water. The cold air assaulted them, instantly penetrating their internal organs.
The two people in the water couldn't help but shiver. There was a thick Yin Qi in the chill.
If it was an ordinary person, they would not be able to stay for long after jumping in.
Otherwise, they would be poisoned by the cold poison. If it was light, their internal organs would be damaged. If it was heavy, they would die on the spot.
After swimming for an hour, Xiao Chen and Qin Zhuolin leaped out of the water at the same time. Their complexions were pale.
In front of him was a deep karst cave with crystal glazed stalactites hanging upside down.
"Be careful of the stalactites above. These stalactites are even sharper than divine weapons. Many people were pierced through by them and frozen to death on the spot."
Xiao Chen came once and reminded Qin Zhuolin.
Qin Zhuolin looked around but did not see anything strange. However, he, who had been dealing with evil spirits underground for many years, felt a deep chill in his heart.
His intuition told him that this seemingly ordinary cave was actually filled with killing intent.
"Unheard of."
After a while, Qin Zhuolin shook his head in disappointment. It seemed like his previous experience was useless here.
Walking on the surface of the underground spring, the two of them swam upstream.
"I recall that your Dragon Race's Heaven Dragon only disappeared twenty years ago, right?" Qin Zhuolin asked.
"Yes. After he lost to the Purple Gold Dragon Emperor, he was imprisoned in the Starry Heavens Dragon Prison."
Qin Zhuolin entered deep thought. Then, he said, "That means that this path is not a dead end. I'm somewhat curious now. Just what kind of scene is the source of this spring? Who set up this place and drew out a Cold Yin Spring? "
The two of them were extremely cautious and did not dare to be careless.
After a while, Xiao Chen called out to Qin Zhuolin. "Previously, I came to this place. After the spring flowed, I managed to leave by following the spring. I don't know what I will run into if I go any further. "
"If we go any further, we might not have a chance to turn back."
Qin Zhuolin looked around and continued, "The Heavenly Dao Killing Formation's killing intent is untraceable. This is really difficult."
Qin Zhuolin sighed softly and continued walking forward.
As the two walked upstream, they ran into corpses sealed in ice by cold Qi. However, they were not the people the Heavenly Fragrance's Holy Daughter was looking for.
"There's someone underwater."
Qin Zhuolin suddenly came out of the water. Xiao Chen went forward to take a look and saw a frozen corpse at the bottom of the spring.
The corpse was perfectly fine. Even the expression on its face at the moment it died had not faded.
It was an expression of bewilderment, bewilderment, and astonishment.
This was a Sovereign Emperor who died under completely unexpected circumstances.
A cold, sinister wind blew, covering the two in a faint layer of frost.
"Let's go."
The two had seen too many frozen corpses and were already numb to it. They sighed softly and continued walking.
The cold Qi underground turned increasingly cold. However, it was still bearable and not a major problem.
Aside from the cold, there was nothing strange. The two even started to feel bored.
"Crack!"
At some point in time, Qin Zhuolin's right leg, which was about to raise, gave off a crisp sound.
Qin Zhuolin's bone actually broke. Before Qin Zhuolin could react, he felt boundless pain.
Qin Zhuolin, who was walking on the water surface, fell in and instantly sank into the water.
After entering the water, Qin Zhuolin was horrified to discover that the frost on his body turned into ice when it came in contact with water.
Before Qin Zhuolin could react, his entire body was sealed in ice. Then, he slowly sank to the bottom with a confused and helpless expression.
"Damn it!"
Danger came so suddenly. Without any warning, Qin Zhuolin fell for it.
Xiao Chen felt horror in his heart. However, he could not think too much right now. He ferociously threw a palm strike and parted the spring water.
Then, he stretched out his hand and pulled up the frozen Qin Zhuolin.
Xiao Chen did not hesitate to throw a palm strike, instantly shattering the ice on Qin Zhuolin's body.
"Phew …"
Qin Zhuolin let out a long breath. His complexion paled as fear lingered in his heart.
Qin Zhuolin had no idea when he fell for it.
"It's a scratch!"
Xiao Chen checked and discovered a scratch on Qin Zhuolin's right leg. This caused the cold Qi to seep in and deepen without him realizing it.
The wound was very small, and cold Qi filled this place. If one did not pay attention, one would not notice it.
After a while, Qin Zhuolin's complexion returned to normal. He had not suffered any fatal injuries. After consuming Medicinal Pills, he recovered quickly.
This was how this place worked.
One could not sense where the danger was. When one startled awake, one would discover that one was about to die for no reason.
Most of the time, the scariest thing was not how strong the enemy was or how terrifying the Desolate Slave was.
The scariest thing was that one did not know how to defend against it. This place was no different from an ordinary underground karst cave.
"I really got careless this time."
Qin Zhuolin frowned heavily as he sighed. "I ran into the scariest Desolate Slave in the Desolate Sea. I even went to the graves of Faux Gods several times and managed to escape unscathed. Even if it were the Evil Burial Grounds of the Ancient Demonic Lords, I would still be able to deal with them. But this place …!
Qin Zhuolin revealed a sense of defeat as he spoke.
Qin Zhuolin's long-held confidence suffered a great setback in this ancient well.
If not for Xiao Chen, Qin Zhuolin would have died here. The cold Qi had seeped into his soul and sealed his physical body in ice. He could not execute any means at all.
Xiao Chen finally understood why even Sovereign Emperors died for no reason in this place.
Xiao Chen looked to the front and saw darkness. He did not know how much longer he had to walk to the spring's source.
"If we continue like this without thinking of a countermeasure, we will die here sooner or later," Xiao Chen sighed. This was just his intuition; there was no reason for it.
"How should we deal with it? No matter how horrifying a killing formation was, there would be a formation core, a node, and a layout. As long as one had these, one could find a way to break a killing formation, no matter how terrifying it was. However, there is nothing in this place. It looks no different from an ordinary karst cave. "
Qin Zhuolin spoke somewhat helplessly. However, it was the truth, and no one could refute it.
Xiao Chen did not reply. He entered deep thought as he carefully looked at the surroundings. Then, he said, "I don't think that is the case. As long as it is a killing formation, there will be a formation core and something to lay the formation. The Heavenly Dao Killing Formation only perfectly blends all these into nature, preventing us from noticing it. "
"However, not being able to notice it does not mean that there is none."
Qin Zhuolin said seriously, "The activation of any formation requires energy. Normally, it is Spirit Jades or Divine Crystals. The more profound ones can use the energy that originally exists underground. However, I do not sense any energy fluctuations here. Hence, even if you find what you mentioned, you will not be able to break this formation. "
Inspiration flashed in Xiao Chen's mind. He asked, "You mean that as long as we find the energy source that activates the Heavenly Dao Killing Formation, we can break this formation?"
"I can't say that I can break it, but I will definitely not die here. I am at least confident of that."
Xiao Chen said seriously, "I think I know how this Heavenly Dao Killing Formation is activated. However, why can't you sense it at all?"
"What is it?"
