Chapter 384 The Source of the Dark River

Chapter 383 The source of the underground river

Hearing Zhang Zhixuan's inquiry, Si Jin tried his best to think back for a moment, and said cautiously: "The monster is hidden deep in the cold pool, and it did not show its face even when it was fighting with us. Besides, I couldn't even see my fingers in the cold pool, so I didn't recognize it. We can't tell what kind of monster it is. We can only guess from its rough outline that it should be a fish monster. However, judging from the monster's strength, it should only be at the late third level, far inferior to Zifu. Otherwise, we would not know what kind of monster it is. We can’t retreat safely.”

Zhang Zhixuan saw that he couldn't get much information from Sijin, so he could only ask other people. These Qi-training monks were even more confused. They couldn't even release their spiritual consciousness, let alone see this mysterious thing clearly. of monsters.

After Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan discussed for a while, they decided to go into the water to find out personally and see what kind of monster it was.

Qingchan then took out a third-level water-avoiding talisman and applied it to the two of them. The water-avoiding talisman wrapped the two of them like a huge bubble. The two went deep into the cold pool, constantly searching for this mysterious monster.

The Han Pond is not large in area. Although the water in the pond is relatively deep, the two people's consciousness is already deep. In less than a quarter of an hour, they discovered this mysterious monster.

"What kind of monster is causing trouble? It turns out to be a brocade carp!"

Zhang Zhixuan smiled softly, and instantly used the Hanging Sword Pill to slash at the monster.

The Jinyun carp opened its mouth wide and spit out a ball. The ball trembled slightly and turned into a ball with a diameter of about ten feet. Instead, it shot towards the two men first.

Seeing this round bead, Zhang Zhixuan's face was startled, revealing a hint of ecstasy and thinking to himself: "This carp is lucky. It actually turned into a dragon bead in its body. It seems to have the effect of amplifying space."

Seeing that Qing Chan was about to release a magic weapon to attack the spirit bead, Zhang Zhixuan immediately grabbed her little hand and said: "Don't break this spirit bead. This carp is afraid that this spirit bead is the only one that is of some use to us."

Qingchan then rolled his eyes at him, released the purple energy divine light spell, and dropped the dragon ball inside the carp.

This carp is only at the late third level. Even under the water that is most suitable for it to fight, it is far from the opponent of Zhang Zhixuan and the two Zifus. It was easily killed by the two of them, and even the materials on it were searched by Si Jin and others. Clean and deposited in the family treasury.

Wanshe Cave was originally a cave that was destroyed by floods many years ago and became what it is now. In just three hundred years, three third-level monsters have appeared here. This frequency is obviously abnormal. The biggest problem is the source of the underground river.

Zhang Zhixuan knew very early that the underground river in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave was very unusual. There was a faint aura in the river. Although it was not as good as a spiritual well at home, it was still very impressive. He has been practicing Taoism for many years, and apart from seeing similar scenes in the river below Jiaohefang, he has never seen similar landforms again.

According to the situation in Jiaohe River, Zhang Zhixuan secretly guessed that the Ten Thousand Snake Cave might be connected to the family's spiritual well, and there might also be a spiritual vein with high spiritual energy underground.

At least a hundred miles away from the Jiao River spiritual vein, the river water loses its spiritual energy, and Wanshe Cave is seven hundred miles away from Lingjing Mountain. Even if the water volume of the underground river is far less than that of the Jiao River, the loss of spiritual energy will be slower, and I am afraid that the spiritual vein will The intensity far exceeds that of Jiaohe.

Although he had already known about the anomaly here, Zhang Zhixuan still did not investigate the root cause. First, because he had a low level of cultivation in the past and did not dare to explore deeply, lest he would be in danger if a bigger secret was exposed.

Secondly, it was also because of Qingchan that when she picked up the Qingling Taiyi Pot from the spiritual well, Zhang Zhixuan knew that this well might have a huge secret, and it was very likely that Liu Xuanyan was behind it.

Deep down in his heart, Zhang Zhixuan disliked being associated with Liu Xuanyan. As his cultivation level became higher and higher, he became more and more aware of the mysterious and unpredictable methods of high-level monks.

In the dead of night, he would often worry secretly, fearing that his Qingchan would turn into another person and leave him in one day.

Therefore, even though Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation level increased greatly after the opening of Zi Mansion, he deliberately forgot about the anomalies here and never found out.

Unfortunately, trouble still occurred here in Ten Thousand Snake Cave.

After killing the brocade carp, Zhang Zhixuan was about to take Qing Chan's little hand and leave. But I heard Qing Chan whisper: "Monsters appear here again and again, and we have to find out the source."

Although her voice was soft, there was a hint of determination. Zhang Zhixuan knew in his heart that although Qingchan had a gentle personality, he was very stubborn. Once you decide something, it's hard to look back.

Zhang Zhixuan turned his head, looked into her eyes and asked seriously: "Once you take this step, it will be difficult to look back."

Zhang Zhixuan knew that although Qing Chan rarely spoke, he was a very smart person, otherwise he would not have been able to cultivate to this point. He thought to himself: "I'm afraid Qingchan is also very aware of the abnormality that I can detect. The reason why he didn't take the initiative to mention it before was just for his own sake."

Qingchan smiled bitterly and said: "Since we have embarked on the road of cultivation, there is no turning back. I have thought carefully about it. If she wants to bring her memory to the tribulation, there should be many ways. Since she does not bring the memory to the tribulation, then I won’t leave behind anything too vicious. Now that I’ve cultivated to this point, I won’t be able to avoid this person in the future. I’ll have to face this kind of thing eventually, and the more I’m afraid, the more it will affect my future path.

If you want to form a golden elixir, you must not have any flaws in your soul. Only when your heart is harmonious can you go further. Her matter is a flaw in my soul. I am also afraid that when I wake up, I will become a different person. In that case, I will leave my brother Zhixuan forever!

So, I have to face all of this eventually. If I want to get rid of the knot in my heart, I must figure out my own origins. "

Qing Chan's words convinced Zhang Zhixuan. The two held hands tightly, sacrificed the water-avoiding talisman, and slowly walked towards the source along the underground river.

The two had achieved great success in cultivation. Although the terrain of the underground river was rugged, it did not pose much of an obstacle to the Purple Mansion cultivators.

The further you go in, the smaller the amount of water in the underground river.

Along the way, Zhang Zhixuan also found some ordinary tributaries. There was no spiritual energy in these tributaries, but some ordinary animals would grow in them.

In such a river with abundant spiritual energy, ordinary animals may evolve into various types of monsters. If they cannot be controlled from the source, the hidden dangers of monsters on the spiritual veins of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave will never be eliminated.

Along this underground river, the two found four or five underground cold pools one after another.

These cold pools are full of dangers, and some even hide very powerful monsters.

However, Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan's cultivation was already very advanced, and these third-level monsters were eliminated by the two of them one by one.

These cold pools have accumulated a large amount of spiritual water for a long time, and after the evolution of nature, they have formed low-level spiritual veins.
