Chapter 1055 [The Untamed 29]
They soon arrived at Muxi Mountain. A woman in a red dress stopped everyone and said, "Go find the cave entrance, or you will all die here."
Wen Chao hugged the woman in red and said, "Didn't you hear what Ling Jiao said? Why don't you go quickly?"
There is no way, everyone can only listen.
Everyone searched hard in the mountains, but could not find the entrance to the cave where the monster lived. Just when everyone was feeling a little frustrated, Wei Wuxian suddenly took out a talisman from his arms. He muttered something, then gently threw the talisman. The talisman quickly burned in the air, turning into a golden light that streaked across the sky like a meteor.
As the talisman burned, the fog that had originally filled the mountain seemed to be dispersed by an invisible giant hand and gradually dissipated. At the moment the fog dissipated, a huge hole suddenly appeared in front of everyone, as if the secret hidden in the mountain was finally revealed.
Everyone looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes. Then, someone raised a torch and walked towards the cave entrance carefully. After entering the cave, everyone found that it was full of gravel, the ground was rugged and uneven, and the light was dim, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.
Everyone groped their way forward in the cave cautiously, feeling a little uneasy. Finally, they reached the end, only to find that it was a dead end with no way out. Just when everyone was at a loss, Wen Chao suddenly reached out and pushed Wei Wuxian down, as if he wanted him to explore whether there was a way out below.
Wei Wuxian was caught off guard and fell down suddenly. Lan Wangji, Youyou and others saw this and hurriedly followed him, fearing that Wei Wuxian might be in danger. Fortunately, Wei Wuxian was not injured during the fall, but landed on a huge rock at the bottom of the cave in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
After everyone stood firm, they found that this was a deep path. The stone walls on both sides were wet and exuded a foul smell. Everyone walked slowly along the path, going deeper and deeper, and the light became darker and darker. Suddenly, a bottomless pool appeared in front of them, and the water surface was faintly glowing green, just like the underworld.
At this time, Wen Chao also led his men down from above. When he saw the pool, he actually showed a ferocious smile, as if he had anticipated the situation here. Then, he asked someone to bring Mian Mian over, ready to bleed her, and use her flesh and blood to attract the monster.
Jin Zixuan naturally couldn't stand by and watch Mianmian being killed, so he stepped forward to stop Wen Chao's evil deeds. Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji also couldn't stand Wen Chao's behavior, and stood beside Jin Zixuan. The two sides had a disagreement and immediately fought.
In the chaos, Wei Wuxian, in desperation, actually took Wen Chao hostage. He put his sword against Wen Chao's throat, then jumped onto a huge rock in the pool.
Wen Chao was afraid of death, and when he saw this horrible scene, his face turned pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his legs trembled like sieves. Wen Zhuliu and others were also a little frightened when they saw this. They were originally aggressive, but now they didn't dare to act rashly.
At this moment, Wei Wuxian suddenly felt something was wrong under his feet, as if the entire ground was shaking slightly. He thought it was an earthquake at first, but soon found that it was not the case - it turned out that the huge rock under his feet was stirring!
Before everyone could recover from the shock, they heard a loud "splash" and a huge head suddenly emerged from the water. The head was as big as a room, covered with hideous scales and sharp bone spurs, and its two big copper bell-like eyes revealed a frightening fierce light.
"What...what kind of monster is this?!" someone screamed in horror.
“It’s the Slaughtering Black Tortoise!” Lan Wangji said solemnly, “Everyone hold your breath and don’t make any sound! Although this Slaughtering Black Tortoise is huge, its eyesight is very poor. As long as we don’t make any sound, it won’t be able to identify our location.”
When everyone heard this, they all closed their lips tightly, not even daring to breathe. However, at this tense moment, Wen Chao, this unworthy guy, suddenly shouted to Wen Zhuliu for help: "Save me! Save me!"
His voice was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, echoing in the silent valley. When the slaughtering black tortoise heard the voice, it immediately opened its bloody mouth and pounced on everyone like a hungry tiger.
For a moment, everyone was panicked and fled in all directions. However, Wang Lingjiao, the vicious woman, had evil thoughts in the chaos. She had always been jealous and resentful of the beautiful Mianmian, and now seeing an opportunity, she picked up a hot iron and threw it at Mianmian with a grim smile.
Seeing that the branding iron was about to hit Mianmian, Wei Wuxian was quick-witted and rushed forward, blocking the fatal blow with his body. With a "hiss", the branding iron deeply branded Wei Wuxian's chest, and a puff of green smoke immediately emerged, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt flesh.
Xue Yang took out a pill and gave it to Wei Wuxian, asking him to take it. After Wei Wuxian took the pill, the pain in his chest disappeared instantly.
