Chapter 752: Strange black shadow beneath the abyss

Underwater was not what Liu Qingrou thought.

A door that looked a little older had been slowly opened, as if someone had pushed it open with brute force.

The stone sealing the door on the side was moved away by someone unknown. Liu Qingrou slowly looked at Ye Chen beside her. There was no doubt that he was the culprit.

"I don't know what's behind here, but it's better than staying up there. I decided to go take a look first. Do you want to follow me?"

"I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll go with you." Liu Qingrou said in a low voice.

"Then you stand back and if something happens later, just go away and don't worry about me."

"Um"

Liu Qingrou looked at Ye Chen's back in front of her, but she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

As the senior sister of Jinling College, she naturally leaves everything to her to handle. She has always been the only one to speak like this to her junior brothers and sisters, but this is the first time she has been protected like this.

But why does this seemingly unremarkable man make himself so concerned?

"Ye Chen, if you have nowhere to go, why not come to our Jinling College? Although your talent is not outstanding, it is still quite good. The people in our college will definitely train you well."

When she said these words, Liu Qingrou was a little hesitant in her heart, and she didn't know whether it was for Ye Chen's benefit or for herself.

"Let's go out first and then talk."

Ye Chen didn't pay much attention, but he just tried his best to push open the stone door in front of him that had been covered in dust for who knows how many years.

As a ray of light emitted from the stone door, Ye Chen stepped over it.

"Hey, are you okay over there?" Liu Qingrou followed closely behind him.

"It's okay, you'd better come and take a look."

Liu Qingrou followed him out with hesitation. However, as the light flashed across her eyes, the scene in front of her was completely different.

The dark sky was filled with cold air.

The two of them seemed to be standing in an abyss with almost no sunlight. Looking up, they could only see the stone walls on both sides of the edge. Although they were uneven, they could not find a place to set foot. I know I can't climb up from here.

Although there was a relatively stable trail in front of him, it was so winding that it was difficult to see the direction. There was also a faint layer of fog surrounding it, as if things one meter ahead were no longer visible.

"It seems that we have reached the bottom of the abyss, but at least it is much better than the situation just now. At least we have a way to go." Ye Chen smiled to comfort himself and said: "Then there are two more There are two paths, one is to go forward and the other is to go backward, which one do you choose?”

"Then which one do you want to choose?"

"I don't know. If you choose one, I will take the other." Ye Chen said, "It would be easier to find the exit if we split up."

Liu Qingrou looked a little anxious, but she gritted her teeth and nodded.

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and suddenly laughed.

"why are you laughing!"

"It's okay, I just think your aggrieved look is a bit interesting." Ye Chen didn't care about Liu Qingrou's destructive look in front of him, and just said to himself: "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you now. If you can't use spiritual energy, let's go forward together. They say that only cowards will retreat."

"I should have just left you there and escaped!"

The two bickered all the way, but they were also wary of their surroundings.

They actually trust each other unexpectedly, even if they understand each other better than some companions who know each other.

It seemed that Ye Chen knew that Liu Qingrou did not have any spiritual power and could not pose any threat to him, so he was not wary of her at all, not to mention that his every move was within his perception.

Liu Qingrou was even simpler. If Ye Chen really wanted to do something evil to her, she would have no power to resist. It would be better to stop thinking about it and feel more relaxed.

I don't know how long they walked along the way, until Liu Qingrou got a little tired, and the two of them found a sunken cave everywhere and walked in.

"It's almost time for the sun to set during this period." Ye Chen turned to look at Liu Qingrou and said: "Now you don't have spiritual energy to protect you, and your physical strength is no different from that of ordinary people. You'd better rest for a while, and I'll go and help you." Find something to eat."

Liu Qingrou smiled bitterly and said, "How can we get anything to eat in such a shabby place?"

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe I can find you a piece of softer Guanyin soil." After Ye Chen said that, he walked out, leaving Liu Qingrou's sword behind.

"Nothing right!" Liu Qingrou scolded with a smile, then closed her eyes slightly.

Although she didn't complain once along the way, in fact, his physical strength had really reached its limit. It was estimated that he had to walk for nearly four or five hours at least. If it weren't for her usual physical training, I'm afraid I fainted from exhaustion halfway through.

However, her stubborn character kept her going. Even when Ye Chen tried to carry her on his back, she sternly refused.

The tiredness made her fall asleep quickly, feeling drowsy.

The cool breeze was blowing slowly. Although it was not very cold below the abyss, there were occasional strands of cool breeze that penetrated into the cave.

Liu Qingrou curled up slightly and pulled her clothes a little closer.

Boom!

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the cave, neither big nor small, but Liu Qingrou stood up quickly.

Years of vigilance made her subconsciously notice this sound, because this sound was not something that could be made naturally.

"Ye Chen? Are you back?" Liu Qingrou whispered, but did not dare to yell, for fear that the thing outside was not Ye Chen.

"If you come back, just answer it, but don't continue to scare me. This is not fun at all!"

However, there was silence outside, even a little strangely quiet, even quieter than before.

Liu Qingrou slowly picked up the sword and walked towards the cave entrance step by step.

At this moment, the sun has completely set, but because of the hazy moonlight, it is not possible to see the outside scene clearly, but it makes it even more intimidating.

Liu Qingrou felt so helpless for the first time. She chanted Ye Chen's name countless times in her heart, hoping that he would suddenly jump out. She smiled and said as if she wanted to be beaten, "Did you scare me?"

But this is Liu Qingrou's hope after all. After all, the dark four-legged shadow at the entrance of the cave, where she can see it, does not look like Ye Chen at all!
