Rhubarb led the way while Lu Chen followed closely behind. Luo Yao held the little beast god in her arms. This team gave off the feeling of a family of three with a dog.
After walking for one or two hours, everyone followed Rhubarb to a cave.
It was still daytime, but the cave was pitch-black. Only the sound of spring water could be heard.
Rhubarb said that the spirit vein should be under the cave. The reason why it was certain that there was a spirit vein here was because the feeling it gave off was very similar to the feeling under the Heavenly Lake.
"Rhubarb, come back." Lu Chen called Rhubarb back.
Immediately, Lu Chen made a torch and entered the cave with Luo Yao.
At first, the path in the cave was narrow and rugged. The cave entrance was also very short. As the two entered, the ceiling of the cave became higher and higher. However, the path was still quite narrow. The two could only walk side by side.
Lu Chen turned and walked forward. Suddenly, there was nothing under his feet. Fortunately, he held onto the wall beside him in time and stopped in time.
Using the torch to illuminate the front, Lu Chen could not help but jump in fright. "Luo Yao, slow down. This is a cliff!"
After Luo Yao caught up, she took a glance and could not help but take a deep breath.
In front of the two was a pitch-black abyss. Just now, Lu Chen almost fell into it. At this moment, the two were at the narrow entrance of the cave. They could feel a strong air current erupting from the bottom of the abyss.
The torch was like a flickering flame in the darkness. It was insignificant and flickered in the fierce wind.
Lu Chen picked up a not small stone and threw it down. The stone actually flew directly into the sky at an extremely fast speed.
Four or five seconds later, the stone directly turned into powder.
"Astral wind!" Lu Chen frowned. Such a huge abyss was filled with astral wind. Although it was not as strong as the astral wind belt in the Dragon Necropolis, its range was too terrifying.
As the saying goes, dripping water can penetrate stone. Although the astral wind belt was strong, as long as one was fast enough, they could still use the ancient dragon bones to resist and pass through it.
However, there was no path in front of him, and he couldn't see the bottom of the abyss. Lu Chen couldn't estimate whether it could support him to the bottom of the abyss.
Luo Yao drew out her Purple Sky Breaker with one hand and shot out a purple sword Qi into the abyss.
However, the purple sword aura disappeared in less than a second!
Luo Yao frowned and said curiously, "That's strange. My Purple Cloud Sword Qi can't possibly be weaker than a rock. How could it be destroyed so quickly?"
"Nameless, we're not going down, are we?"
"Definitely, the Spirit Vein is below!" Lu Chen replied with certainty.
Luo Yao shook her head. "The astral wind here is a little strange. That stone could hold on for five or six seconds, but my sword energy was instantly scattered …"
"This place is so deep. Even if the astral winds aren't strong, I'm afraid that we'll be corroded by the astral winds before we even reach the ground!"
Luo Yao frowned. "Even if we go down, can we come back up? I can't see anything down there! "
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "If the Black Qilin can come out, it means that there's a path down there. The key is to resist the astral winds here."
"Nameless, you hold the child. I have a Spirit Shield. I'll go and test the strength of the astral winds. If the situation doesn't seem right, use Listen to Me and pull me back."
Luo Yao handed the little beast deity to Lu Chen. She activated her Spirit Shield and jumped into the abyss.
Lu Chen opened his Heavenly Eye to check the situation of Luo Yao's Spirit Shield.
He saw that the moment Luo Yao entered the astral winds, her Spirit Shield was being consumed at an extremely fast speed. Even though she was quickly replenishing her Spirit Shield, it was still far slower than the speed at which it was being consumed.
At this rate, Luo Yao wouldn't last more than three seconds!
"Listen to Me!" Lu Chen hurriedly pulled Luo Yao back.
This accident was beyond their expectations. Both of them were in a hurry. Luo Yao hurriedly held onto Lu Chen and steadied herself.
Lu Chen could smell the faint fragrance on Luo Yao's body. He held onto the little beast deity's arm and felt that he had touched something soft …
Luo Yao hurriedly let go of Lu Chen and took a step back. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Thank, thank you … It's too narrow here. I couldn't stand properly."
Lu Chen nodded. "It's indeed a bit narrow … That, the astral winds suddenly became very strong."
Lu Chen changed the topic. Luo Yao hurriedly followed. "Yes, my Spirit Shield couldn't withstand it at all. If you hadn't pulled me back in time …" Luo Yao panted heavily. It seemed that she had consumed a lot of energy in that short moment. On the one hand, she also felt a little scared.
"At this level … I'm afraid we can't go down!" Luo Yao said.
Lu Chen frowned. The second spirit vein that he had been searching for was right under their feet. Even the Guardian Black Qilin wasn't here. It could be said that it was at their fingertips. However, it was blocked by this abyss.
"Wait a minute, let me think about it …"
Lu Chen suddenly remembered that the stone he had thrown just now turned into ashes after five or six seconds. However, it was very difficult for Luo Yao to support herself.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so difficult for her. At least ten minutes shouldn't be a problem.
But in fact, even if Luo Yao used her Spirit Shield, it was impossible for her to hold on for more than five seconds!
Lu Chen suddenly thought of a possibility.
This astral wind … was stronger against a strong opponent!
The spirit vein should be at the bottom of the abyss. What was the standard for judging the strength of a spirit vein? It was very likely that it was spiritual energy!
Luo Yao's spiritual energy was definitely very high, so the corrosion she suffered was even stronger. The stone had almost no spiritual energy, so it took five or six seconds for it to turn into ashes!
Coincidentally, the two seemed to have thought of this possibility at the same time. They both looked up at each other.
"Uh … You thought of it? Then tell me. "Lu Chen said.
Luo Yao's eyes flickered. "That …" She seemed to have forgotten what to say for a moment. After thinking for a while, she remembered. "Oh, the astral wind here may have different effects depending on the strength of the target."
Lu Chen nodded. "I think so too. It's very likely that the stronger the spiritual energy, the greater the impact."
Lu Chen then said, "I'll give it a try!"
"Nameless!" Luo Yao pulled Lu Chen. "You … This is just our speculation."
Lu Chen smiled. "Since you have a speculation, go and verify it."
"Fortunately, I didn't rush to use the Revelation Scroll. I'm only a seven-star cultivator now, so the impact is much smaller than yours. Moreover, I have a skill to recover spiritual energy. If our speculation is wrong, the astral wind won't be able to kill me instantly. You can rest assured."
Luo Yao weighed the pros and cons and finally nodded. "Then be careful. By the way, do you want me to hold the child? "
Just when Lu Chen was about to hand the little beast god over to Luo Yao, the little guy suddenly woke up. He glanced at the abyss next to him, as if he was attracted by the endless spiritual energy. He suddenly jumped down and directly jumped down!
"Little beast!" Lu Chen exclaimed.
Things happened too suddenly. Lu Chen didn't activate any status, and the cooldown of Ready Ears was not over yet!
Lu Chen didn't have time to think and jumped down with Nine Void Steps!
Luo Yao's heart was in her throat. "Solipsistic!" After saying that, Luo Yao didn't care about anything else and jumped down directly!
In an instant, Luo Yao felt an unbearable spiritual energy wash over her, making her unable to resist at all.
Fortunately, she wasn't far from the entrance of the cave. When her body was hit upward, she fiercely swung dozens of sword qi forward, which produced a backward force that pushed her out of the range of the astral wind and fell heavily at the entrance of the cave.
However, when she got up again and looked at the endless dark abyss, she could no longer see Lu Chen's figure.
"Solipsistic!" Luo Yao faced the abyss and screamed at the top of her lungs!
