The underground passageway was indeed very long. It was like a path of death leading to hell, striking fear in the hearts of people. They did not dare to go too deep for fear of death.
Although they understood that the end of the passageway was the most mysterious pavilion of the Black Magic Pavilion, and that great danger might be lurking there, Xiao Chen and his brothers could not be deterred. If a person or a god stood in their way, they would kill!
Xiao Chen had worked hard for two years. He had killed for two years. He had even been hunted for two years. There were several times when he had narrowly escaped death or come back from the dead. What was the purpose of his desperation? It was to find and save his grandfather, Xiao Batian.
Now, there was a possibility that Xiao Batian was at the end of the underground passageway — the Black Magic Pavilion's pavilion. How could Xiao Chen be frightened by a long underground passageway and the mysterious Black Magic Pavilion's pavilion?
Even if it was a dragon's pool or a tiger's den in front of him, or the 18th level of hell, Xiao Chen would march forward bravely. He would not hesitate to destroy anyone or anything that stood in his way.
"Clatter, clatter, clatter …"
The passageway was dead silent. Except for the light footsteps of Xiao Chen and the yellow dog, there was no other sound. The temperature of the air inside was very low, giving off a gloomy feeling. In addition, there was a faint smell of blood in the depths of the passageway.
Xiao Chen, the Lion King, and the Fengsha Sword maintained absolute vigilance. They were vigilant in all directions of the passageway. One was to prevent and detect traps, and the other was to sense any potential enemies.
The underground passageway was relatively dry. There were no traces of water. It was about fifteen feet high and six feet wide, which was spacious enough for people to walk. The ground, walls, and ceiling were relatively flat. It was obvious that the Black Magic Pavilion had spent a lot of manpower, material, and financial resources to dig such a huge and long underground passageway.
Contrary to Xiao Chen's expectations, after walking for the time it took for an incense stick to burn and walking for nearly two miles, he still hadn't reached the end of the underground passage, nor did he encounter any traps or enemies. It seemed that this underground passage didn't have any dangers.
Xiao Chen was very sensitive to direction. He felt that the underground tunnel extended along an irregular circular arc. It seemed that the end of the underground tunnel was still not far from the City Lord's Mansion. In addition, the deeper the underground tunnel went, the lower the terrain. The lower the terrain, the lower the temperature in the tunnel.
Crack!
Suddenly, a strange sound came from beneath the yellow dog's feet. It was clearly transmitted into the minds of Xiao Chen and his brothers. It was like the sound of death, and it could not be ignored.
"Da Huang, be careful!" Upon hearing the strange sound, Xiao Chen knew that something was about to happen. He could not help but shout to alert the Lion King who was about a foot in front of him. At the same time, he immediately activated the Power of Desolates armor, prepared to withstand any danger.
As expected!
"Boom!"
"Shoo! Shoo!
Shoo! "A rumbling sound came from the stone wall above the yellow dog. It actually moved and changed, revealing a row of dozens of tiny black holes. Each hole was about three feet apart. The moment the holes appeared, hundreds of crossbow bolts shot out from the holes.
The hundreds of crossbow bolts were all made of refined iron alloy. The arrowheads shimmered with a chilling cold light and … a green light. It was obvious that they were dipped in poison. The poison used by the Black Magic Pavilion General Pavilion was definitely able to deal with high-level warriors. Otherwise, there would be no point in setting up crossbow bolts here.
The lethality of the crossbow bolts could kill low-to-mid level warriors, but it was not much of a threat to high-level warriors, especially those at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and above. However, if the crossbow bolts were to be added with special pain specific to warriors, it would often have an unexpected effect.
However, Xiao Chen and the Lion King were not ordinary warriors. They had bodies that were immune to poison. The power of the crossbow bolts, especially the poison, was almost impossible to hurt them. As for the Fengsha Sword, it could completely ignore the damage from attacks below the Demigod Realm.
"Shatter the crossbow bolts!"
Xiao Chen did not panic and ran away. He waved his fists and bombarded the incoming crossbow bolts. He immediately activated the Desolate Power Armor. He was not afraid of the crossbow bolts at all. He knew his body well, and the poison of the Wilderness God Continent could not hurt him.
Sure enough!
"Bang! Bang! Bang … "The crossbow bolts collided with Xiao Chen's divine fist and exploded into tiny fragments. They flew backward and shot into the hard stone wall.
"Ding Ding Dang Dang!"
The yellow dog was even more arrogant than Xiao Chen. After activating the Desolate Power Shield, it stood still and let the crossbow bolts hit its body. It had a casual expression and squinted its eyes, as if it was enjoying the impact of the crossbow bolts on it.
After a few breaths, the crossbow bolts stopped shooting. It seemed that the crossbow bolts in the hole had been completely exhausted. There were hundreds of crossbow bolts in this wave, but they could not cause any harm to Xiao Chen and the Lion King. However, there were hundreds of crossbow bolts on the ground.
"Chi Chi."
A tiny bit of the green poison from the crossbow bolts splashed onto Xiao Chen's Desolate Power Armor. It produced a slight corrosive sound, which surprised Xiao Chen. Fortunately, the green poison was quickly depleted. This small amount of green poison could not damage Xiao Chen's powerful Desolate Power Armor.
Xiao Chen's Desolate Power had a certain amount of lightning power. The lightning power was one of the most violent energies in Heaven and Earth. It could calm many evil things. Poison was also an evil thing, and the lightning power could destroy it. Therefore, even if Xiao Chen did not shatter the crossbow bolts, the crossbow bolts would not be able to break through Xiao Chen's Desolate Power Armor.
"Da Huang, Xiao Sha, let's continue deeper. As I said, be careful." Xiao Chen glanced at the hundreds of crossbow bolts in front of him and directly leaped into the air. He stepped on the tail of the arrow and quickly walked forward.
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
With a leap, the yellow dog easily crossed the hedgehog-like ground. The Fengsha Sword flew past. Some of the crossbow bolts had hit him, but he was fine. Instead, the crossbow bolts had bent or broken.
For the rest of the journey, Xiao Chen did not remove his Desolate Power Armor. His walking speed doubled, and he was almost running. The Fengsha Sword flew in front to open the path, while the yellow dog brought up the rear. They sandwiched the weakest Xiao Chen in the middle.
After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, a bright light appeared in the dark tunnel ahead. It seemed that they were about to reach the end. Xiao Chen and his two brothers did not trigger any other hidden weapons or traps. It seemed that the Lion King had gotten lucky and was the only one who had stepped on the trigger.
Indeed, the Xiao Chen brothers advanced another thousand feet and reached the end of the underground tunnel. When they walked out of the underground tunnel and entered a bright and huge space, they could not help but be shocked.
What appeared in front of the Xiao Chen brothers was not an underground cave, but a huge building that looked like a palace. The building was made up of stone, bricks, and tiles. It was very magnificent, and there were many luminous pearls embedded in the walls. The luminous pearls emitted light that illuminated the huge building, making it look a little dim.
The yellow dog realized that the huge building did not only have one room. The room they were in was very large, and there were many antique bottles and jars. Hence, it asked curiously, "Big Brother, do you think this is an underground palace or an underground tomb?"
"An underground palace is similar to an underground tomb. It's a place where emperors or powerful officials and nobles are buried." Xiao Chen answered the yellow dog's question with a serious expression. He pointed to the bottles and jars and explained, "Those things are very old. They should be funerary objects."
