Teng Qingshan swiftly moved stealthily through the mountain forest. In a flash, he was already ten Zhang away. As the captain of the Hunter Squadron for six years, Teng Qingshan knew the Great Yan Mountain like the back of his hand. Whether it was climbing over the mountain, jumping off the cliff, or shuttling between the trees, the mountain path should be forty Li long. However, if Teng Qingshan walked in a straight line, it would be less than ten Li.
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Teng Qingshan arrived at the Gourd Valley.
"Bang!"
The silhouette fell from the cliff of the Gourd Valley and landed heavily on the ground like a meteorite. Only Teng Qingshan, who had such a strong body, dared to land in such an arrogant way. Although ordinary innate experts had strong Innate True Origin, their bodies were far weaker than Teng Qingshan's.
The Innate True Origin could reduce the impact, but the impact from falling from a hundred Zhang high cliff would still shock the innate experts to death even if only half of the impact was on their bodies!
"Bang!" A huge pit appeared where Teng Qingshan landed.
With one hand on the ground, Teng Qingshan leaped and immediately flew towards the bottomless pit.
When he was on top of the cliff, he had already discovered that … … there was no one else in the Gourd Valley. Soon, he arrived at the bottomless pit.
"Father and Uncle Yongxiang were besieged and killed here … …" Teng Qingshan looked around and saw dried bloodstains everywhere on the ground. There were also some minced meat, broken bones, and pieces of steel. However, there were no corpses. "This place has been cleaned up!"
Teng Qingshan could tell with a careful look.
There was so much blood on the ground, so many people must have died. There were also a lot of steel fragments. The only weapons that could be seen in the surroundings were the long spears. Some of the long spears were made of wood, while others were made of iron.
"Damascus Steel Spear!" Teng Qing Shan saw two blood-stained Damascus Steel Spears in the distant underbrush. He immediately rushed over and picked them up. Staring at the blade mark at the bottom of the Damascus Steel Spear, Teng Qing Shan's pupils shrank and his heart trembled. "This, this is father's Damascus Steel Spear!" He had seen this weapon since he was young.
How many years had it been? Of course, he could recognize it at a glance.
"Father's weapon was left behind. Those bastards of Qing Hu Island!" Teng Qingshan's eyes turned red, and the anger in his chest surged.
"There are a lot of steel fragments here. It seemed to be the heavy armor of the Silver Dragon Soldiers! Moreover, there were so many broken pieces … and so many bloodstains. Many people died! " Teng Qingshan deduced, "The fragments of the heavy armor are very neat. It's impossible for father's Damascus steel spear to cause such a wound. It should be a sharp blade that cut through the heavy armor! How could it cut through heavy armor so thoroughly? If it was an expert, he could stab the enemy to death with a sword. He wouldn't be so bored as to cut heavy armor! He doesn't look like a human … He must have met a demon beast! "
Teng Qingshan looked at the broken steel wreckage, which did not seem to be made by humans at all, and judged.
"Eh?" Teng Qingshan glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw something a hundred feet away.
There was a large amount of ash left after the fire.
Teng Qingshan immediately walked over …
"A lot of wood was burned! The smell of burning corpses and … it should be cremation! "Teng Qingshan could easily guess what had happened.
After the Silver Dragon Soldiers besieged and killed father and uncle, they encountered a powerful demonic beast! After the demonic beast killed the Silver Dragon Soldiers, the other Silver Dragon Soldiers came. Of course, they couldn't just watch the corpses of their brothers lying in the wilderness. Therefore, they cremated the corpses not far away.
The corpses of the hunters were probably cremated as well.
Some undamaged sabers and heavy armor were also taken away by the Silver Dragon Soldiers.
"No!"
Teng Qingshan frowned and said, "If they succeeded in killing father, they should have left immediately. Even if they encountered a demonic beast, they shouldn't have fought here! That means … … they should have been fighting with father. Before these soldiers could escape, they encountered the demonic beast! "
"Where did the demonic beast come from?"
Teng Qingshan turned his head and looked at the bottomless pit.
"Whew!" Teng Qingshan dashed to the side of the bottomless pit and said, "In the Great Yan Mountain, besides the Purple Radiant Flood Dragon in the Frost Jade Pool, I haven't seen any other demonic beasts! He did not see any other Demonic Beasts! In other words, demonic beasts don't like to stay in the forest of the Great Yan Mountain! It's very likely that … … the demonic beast is in the depths of the bottomless pit. "
"And Qing Hu Island is also looking for the underground palace."
Teng Qingshan also saw the hanging tree vine beside the bottomless pit. There was still blood on the tree vine. "Someone from Qing Hu Island must have gone down!"
Teng Qingshan immediately leaped down.
Whew! Whew!
His rapid descent caused a gust of wind. The bottomless pit was moist and smelled of blood. Although the light inside the bottomless pit was very dark, ever since he ate the Black Fire Spirit Root and continuously developed its energy. Teng Qingshan had night vision.
"Eh?" Teng Qingshan's hands suddenly stabbed into the rock and mud wall!
The pair of hands wearing the 'Heavenly Hawk Claw' gloves easily pierced into the wall and clawed at the wall for more than three feet before stopping.
"There's a deep hole here." Teng Qingshan discovered that there was a deep, slanted hole on the wall above. In front of the hole, there was half a corpse embedded in the wall. The upper half of the corpse was still wearing heavy armor, but it was broken at the chest area. "A demonic beast must have suddenly leaped out of the ground and instantly twisted a Silver Dragon soldier, who was climbing up the vines, into two. The powerful impact caused the upper half of the Silver Dragon soldier's corpse to be embedded in the rock and mud of the cave wall. "
That nightmarish scene could be clearly deduced.
Teng Qingshan pulled with his hands!
Whew!
He fell down again. In the dark, Teng Qingshan's vision was no different from that of daytime. Although the walls of the bottomless pit were a little uneven, Teng Qingshan could see the bottom of the wall after falling for over ten Zhang. There was water!
*****
"Chichi!" When he was one Zhang away from the bottom of the bottomless pit, Teng Qingshan forcibly stopped.
"So many corpses …" When Teng Qingshan got close to the bottom of the pit, he discovered that the bottom of the pit was filled with water. In the water, there were faintly broken corpses floating. Each corpse was wearing heavy armor. Since the corpses were torn apart, the heavy armor was naturally broken.
"There's no blood in this water. It seems like it's connected to another body of water. All the blood has flowed away. "
The water was clear. Although it was pitch-black, Teng Qingshan could still see the rocks at the bottom of the water.
"The water isn't deep?" Teng Qingshan lightly jumped down.
As expected — —
Teng Qingshan's waist was submerged in the water, but his feet were firmly planted.
"There's a passageway in front." Teng Qingshan slowly advanced along a wide waterway on the side. The water in the waterway only reached his waist and was very shallow.
The waterway was three to four Zhang high. The walls of the waterway were also made of rock. However, the rock walls were like a beehive, and one could often see caves. The width of the waterway varied. Some places were very wide, while others were very narrow.
"A demonic beast's nest?" Teng Qingshan thought to himself.
As he advanced, Teng Qingshan felt that the water was getting deeper … At this moment, it was already up to his neck.
"Eh?" Teng Qingshan's pupils shrank. He stared at a black monster in a small cave on the wall about ten Zhang away — —
"Darksteel Centipede?" Teng Qingshan instantly recognized it.
The Darksteel Centipede's huge white eyes looked at Teng Qingshan. In the pitch-black environment of the underground waterway, even an innate master's vision was very limited.
The Darksteel Centipede thought that Teng Qingshan couldn't see it … … so it quietly dived into the water and slowly swam towards Teng Qingshan.
"Bastard!" A cold glint flashed in Teng Qingshan's eyes. He pretended that he didn't see it and continued advancing.
Finally, Teng Qingshan's entire body was submerged in the water. With the strength of Teng Qingshan's internal organs, it wouldn't matter even if he stayed underwater for a few hours. In terms of physical quality, he was already comparable to some powerful demonic beasts.
It was pitch-black in the water.
The Darksteel Centipede's densely packed claws, which were like sharp blades, were slowly stirring the water. Its body, which seemed to be cast from iron, was twisting as it silently swam towards Teng Qingshan.
Teng Qingshan also advanced by stepping on the bottom of the water. Wearing heavy armor and carrying the Reincarnation Spear, Teng Qingshan naturally sank to the bottom of the water.
"Whoosh!"
The Darksteel Centipede waved its claws at the same time. The underwater Darksteel Centipede instantly shot towards Teng Qingshan like a sharp arrow. The two fangs on its mouth that looked like scissors opened, intending to cut Teng Qingshan. Many Silver Dragon soldiers were cut in half by the centipede just like that.
"Gu ~ ~"
The water at the bottom of the water suddenly shook. Teng Qingshan's hands stretched out as fast as lightning and grabbed the two fangs on the Darksteel Centipede's mouth. The Darksteel Centipede immediately let out a roar.
Teng Qingshan's eyes turned cold as he exerted force with his hands!
"Hiss ~ ~" Two of the Darksteel Centipede's fangs were torn apart. Even the roots of the two fangs were torn apart, causing the Darksteel Centipede's entire head to split open. Green blood dyed the lake green, and the Darksteel Centipede immediately stopped moving.
"Under the condition of absolute darkness, if the experts of Qing Hu Island were suddenly attacked by demonic beasts, even one or two innate experts might be killed." Teng Qingshan knew very well that if he didn't have night vision, he wouldn't be able to survive the sneak attack of the Darksteel Centipede so easily.
"Hua!"
Teng Qingshan swam under the water.
With Teng Qingshan's control of his muscles and the help of the Innate True Origin, his swimming posture under the water could be said to be perfect. He swam quickly like a fish. He also realized that the area of the underground lake was very wide. After he swam past the waterway, he entered a vast underground lake. Even with his night vision, he couldn't see the edge of the underground lake.
"Absolute darkness … … underwater … … very good."
This kind of environment was the most suitable for killing!
… …
In the waterway that Teng Qingshan had swum through, the walls of the waterway were like a beehive. There were many caves, all of which were unfathomably deep. In one of the caves, about a hundred Zhang deep.
"Drip!"
A drop of milky white water seeped down from the cracks above, and occasionally, a drop would fall.
A body covered in blood was curled up here. His lips were barely open, catching the milky white water droplet. His entire body was motionless, as if he didn't breathe, and even his eyes were closed. However, the mouth that was trying hard to open showed that he … … was still alive!
"Lan, wait for me to go home!"
His firm belief echoed in his mind over and over again.
