Chapter 1020 Guardian Stone Monster
"Lead the way."
Jiang Chen took a long breath to calm himself down and face any unexpected situation calmly.
He knew that the core of this earth vein was by no means a good place and must be treated with caution.
Immediately, a light spot as fine as dust floated out from the tip of Jiang Chen's hair.
"I'll guide you!"
A voice that sounded a little ethereal but joyful came from the light spot.
With a faint ripple of light, the light spot transformed into a little girl.
She looks to be only five or six years old. She has a pink and jade-shaped face and two balls on her head. She is very cute.
This little girl is a projection, or a picture, transformed by the spirit.
"Go in through that hole."
Immediately, Ling stretched out his little finger and pointed to a narrow long hole on the right side.
"Um."
Jiang Chen walked in the direction pointed and came to the entrance of the cave.
Looking at the short hole, which was only half a meter wide and one and a half meters high, he hesitated briefly and walked in.
To be precise, Jiang Chen, who had gotten in and entered the short and narrow passage, could only bend forward.
If someone with claustrophobia walked in here, they would probably suffocate.
Fortunately, the passage was not long, and it took Jiang Chen nearly 5 minutes to reach the other end.
After walking out of the cave entrance, you will see a wide new cave.
The difference is that there are no wild monsters here, and there is no fog. It looks like a waste cave.
"Go in there."
The spirit emerged again, and its little finger pointed to a small hole diagonally downward.
This cave entrance is lower and narrower than the previous one.
"No, you have to consider my body shape, right?"
Jiang Chen said helplessly: "What if I get stuck in the hole?"
"No, you can definitely get through if you squeeze a bit."
Ling said with a smile on his face.
Jiang Chen didn't know what to say, so he could only walk up to the hole and prepare to try to get in.
Boom!
At this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from above the head. It was the same as the sound heard before, but this time the movement was louder and the distance seemed closer.
"Isn't this the sound of the ground closing? Why does it sound like it's getting closer?"
Jiang Chen frowned slightly and looked at Ling in confusion: "Aren't we going deep underground? What's going on?"
"Get in quickly!"
Ling quickly stretched out his hands and pushed Jiang Chen.
However, her palm passed directly through Jiang Chen's body and could not touch him.
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another muffled sound above his head, which seemed to be a little closer to here.
It was like something was approaching.
Jiang Chen's expression hardened, Wu Xia asked more questions, and quickly got into the narrow hole in front of him.
He had completely crouched down and could only squat and walk in the cave with his head lowered. His walking speed could be said to be very slow.
Fortunately, after entering the cave, the rumbling sound disappeared.
"Can you tell me now, what exactly is this?"
While Jiang Chen was squatting and struggling to move forward, he said, "I don't believe it is the sound of the ground closing!"
"Indeed not." Ling said frankly.
"So, you just lied to me when you said the ground was going to close so that I could go to the core of the earth vein immediately?" Jiang Chen asked with a stern face.
"I'm not lying to you. It's true that I said the ground is about to close, but this sound has nothing to do with the ground closing." Ling explained.
"Then didn't you tell me earlier?" Jiang Chen was speechless.
"You thought it was the sound of the ground closing, and you didn't ask why I said it?" Ling curled his lips.
"All right."
Jiang Chen breathed out, his expression softened and he asked, "So, what is this sound?"
"It's the guardian stone spirit." Ling replied.
"Guardian stone spirit?" Jiang Chen looked suspicious.
"The wild monster guarding the spirit of the earth line has noticed you." Ling explained.
"I haven't even seen the spirit of the earth, and I'm being targeted by the guardian monster?" Jiang Chen's eyes widened.
"You came close to the spirit of the earth line, which made it wary and wanted to expel you." Ling said.
"So it's coming towards me, so why is there no movement now?" Jiang Chen was puzzled.
"You are in the cave now, and it can't be noticed for the moment." Ling replied.
"Understood."
Jiang Chen did not continue to ask questions and concentrated on moving in the small hole.
…
After another five or six minutes, Jiang Chen finally walked out of the narrow hole and came to a new cave.
There are a lot of wild monsters walking leisurely here, including earth spirits and leyline beetles!
"Do you want the wave monster to leave before leaving?"
Jiang Chen stared at these wild monsters, and when he was still thinking about whether to take action, there was another rumbling sound above his head.
"In an empty cave, the guardian stone spirit monster can detect you immediately. Hurry up and enter the next cave entrance, you will reach the core of the earth vein."
Ling stretched out his hand and pointed to a small downward hole directly in front of him.
"good!"
Jiang Chen could only give up the idea of spawning monsters, quickly moved forward, and got into the hole again.
This small hole is different from the previous ones. It goes downwards and is very winding.
The good thing is, it's slightly larger than the long hole in the front, but also longer.
…
Jiang Chen walked inside for nearly twenty minutes, and finally, a glimmer of light appeared in front of him.
"The exit is ahead!"
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, he quickened his pace, and soon walked out of the cave entrance.
Suddenly, a burst of bright light came and nothing could be seen.
[You have entered the core of the earth's veins! 】
The system prompt sounded.
