C47 Blackwater Lizard

In the gloomy and wet unknown space, Chu Hen and Xia Qing stayed there.

In such an environment, coexisting so closely with a young woman with such a beautiful appearance, any man would feel nervous.

Chu Hen seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.

"I think we should be underwater." Xia Qing's voice, which was as gentle as rain, broke this strange silence.

"Oh?" Chu Hen was startled, and his face revealed a look of bewilderment, "Underwater?"

"Well, I guess so. I think that there was some unknown restriction on the lake previously, and the turmoil caused by my fight with the Ice Moon Demon Wolf accidentally triggered that restriction. That's why we're here. "

After listening to Xia Qing's explanation, Chu Hen did not have much suspicion.

The reason was simple, Xia Qing was an expert of Space-Breaking Stage.

Given how high her Cultivation was, her knowledge and experience must have definitely far surpassed Chu Hen's as well.

"Then continue channeling your energy to expel the cold inside your body. I'll go check out the situation here." Chu Hen stood up and said.

"Let's go together!" Xia Qing also stood up at the same time.

"How about the Ice Profound Cold Qi in your body?"

"I've already temporarily suppressed it, but as it's already deep into the meridians, it won't be able to be removed in a short time. Let's see if we can leave this place and wait until we're outside before thinking of other ways."

"En!" Chu Hen nodded and did not say anymore.

Immediately, the two found a tunnel, and entered it one after the other.

The air was filled with the smell of earth and the surrounding walls were extremely damp. From time to time, the sound of water dripping onto rocks could be heard.

As they went deeper into the tunnel, they gradually realized that the deeper they went, the more space they had.

Not long after that, a faint glow of yellow light was quietly detected by the two.

"There's light!" Chu Hen was ecstatic.

"En!" Xia Qing's face also revealed a little surprise, but he was also more cautious.

The radiance in front of them became increasingly stronger, and after walking forward for less than a hundred meters, a strange space appeared before their eyes.

"This is …"

Chu Hen frowned, what appeared in front of him was a concave building that looked like a pond.

The pond was square, about fifty meters in length and width. A two meter wide stone bridge connected to the other side, and underneath the stone bridge, there was a pool of stagnant water.

This pool of stagnant water was emitting a pungent smell of decay. From afar, it looked like a pool of ink.

"There's a door on the other side!" Xia Qing's red lips opened slightly as she said.

Chu Hen nodded, indicating that he saw it too.

On the opposite side of the concave building, there was a wide Stone Table, which were leaning against a damp stone wall filled with potholes. On the wall, there was a half-open stone door. The stone door was about two meters tall and the inside was dark, as if it was a dark path that led to another world.

"Go there?" Chu Hen asked with a serious tone.

Xia Qing raised her eyebrows, and asked softly, "What if not? Go back? "

Chu Hen could not help but be taken aback.

Retreat!

Where should he retreat to?

This woman really liked to mock him. Of course, there was no real malice in her tone. Chu Hen could still feel that the other party was joking.

Chu Hen's eyes slightly narrowed, and he muttered: "I wonder what's inside?"

"Let's go in and take a look. I'll take a look at the front!"

Xia Qing said, and then took the lead to step onto the stone bridge that spanned both the inside and the outside.

Chu Hen wanted to say more, but the other party was already walking up.

Immediately after, the two stepped onto the stone bridge. The sturdy stone slabs supported their feet. However, Chu Hen's heart was not particularly calm, and his attention was focused on the black water of the ink pool under the bridge.

After walking for nearly a third of the way across the bridge, they were safe and sound.

As the two covered half distance of the stone bridge, the water surface of the Ink Lake suddenly rippled.

"Be careful!"

"Be careful!"

The same word came out of Chu Hen's and Xia Qing's mouth at the same time.

"Whoosh!"

In the next moment, a blurry black shadow suddenly burst out from the black ink pool.

A cold light flashed in Chu Hen's eyes, and the dense Strength of True Essence instantly condensed in the center of his palm, accompanied by a violent gust of wind. The powerful palm power is like a storm hitting on the dark shadow.

"Bam!"

A heavy explosion sounded in the air and the black figure was sent flying by Chu Hen's palm, landing back into the Black Water Pond.

"What was that just now?"

Due to the lack of time, Chu Hen was unable to clearly see what it was.

Then, a scene that would cause one's complexion to change appeared.

"Ji ji!"

"Tsk tsk!"

Accompanied by many strange cries, the black waters of the Ink Pond below became chaotic and restless. One shadow after another emerged from the water.

Chu Hen looked carefully, and his pupils couldn't help but constrict.

He saw that these black shadows were actually Demonic Beasts similar to lizards, but the difference was that these strange things were covered with dark red scales, and sharp spikes were growing on their backs.

At a glance, the entire ink poolwas filled with this kind of thing.

The largest one was over two meters while the smallest one was only as long as a pair of chopsticks.

In the front, back, left, and right, pairs of eyes that stood erect stared coldly at Chu Hen and Xia Qing. It was like that they were waiting for a feast.

Chu Hen could not help but swallow his saliva, "Is this a Blackwater Strange Lizard?"

Blackwater Strange Lizards, belong to rank two Great Demons. Adult Blackwater Strange Lizard, was equivalent to a human with level two Essence Mastering Stage cultivation. At first glance, it seemed that there were quite a few mature Monster Lizards.

This kind of Demonic Beast was good at attacking moving targets. When the target was still, it would be safer. However, it was only relative. No one wanted to stay in this place any longer.

Chu Hen didn't even dare to move his body recklessly, as a very heavy look of seriousness emerged from between his brows.

The scene in front of him could be said to be exceptionally troublesome. What was even more helpless was that Chu Hen's only weapon, the Shadow Spear, had also been lost outside.

If he were to fight with these things bare-handed, he would definitely suffer a huge loss.

Xia Qing did not speak, and only silently passed an item over to Chu Hen.

Chu Hen was startled, because the thing Xia Qing handed over was nothing else, and it was her sword.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't say anymore, I know that you lost your weapon when you were dealing with the Ice Moon Demonic Wolf."

Xia Qing frowned slightly, and said seriously, "We must use the shortest amount of time to enter the stone door, I will deal with the front, and leave the rear to you."

With Xia Qing's original strength and Cultivation, a mere pond of Blackwater Strange Lizards was simply not a problem.

However, the Ice Profound Cold Qi of the Ice Moon Demon Wolf was too overbearing. Xia Qing's major meridians were all invaded by the cold energy and the circulation of the Strength of True Essence was extremely slow.

It was like that Xia Qing's fighting strength was not much higher than Chu Hen's.

However, having reached this stage, there was no other way to retreat other than to move forward.

Hearing Xia Qing's words, Chu Hen was obviously startled. The other party actually said that she would give him her back without worry? It was out of a great trust that she gave her back to others.

Chu Hen's eyes flashed with determination, "I understand."

"Okay, count to three."

"One, two, three!"

"Let's go!"

Xia Qing shouted out softly, as Chu Hen immediately flew towards the other side of the stone bridge with the fastest speed possible.

However, the instant the two moved, the Blackwater Strange Lizards in the ink pool leaped into the air. They let out strange shrieks from their mouths as they pounced towards the two.

Blackwater Strange Lizards of all sizes blotted out the sky and the earth, just like an uncountable number of locusts.

"Whoosh!"

The crisp metallic hum caused the air to tremble. The treasured sword in Chu Hen's hand released a resplendent silver light as the Longsword danced. The crisscrossing Sword Qi twisted towards the monster lizard that was pouncing towards them.

"Hiss!"

The fierce sword light was so bright that the four to five monsters at the front were chopped into pieces.

As Xia Qing moved, she extended her fair and long jade-like hands and the powerful Strength of True Essence gathered and flowed in the center of her palm, instantly transforming into a blue sword image.

This sword image was purely formed from the Strength of True Essence, but it gave off an exceptionally sharp feeling.

Xia Qing raised her arm lightly and the dozens of condensed blue Sword Shine formed a gorgeous sword net, enveloping the monster lizard group.

bang bang bang *

Along with a series of explosions, a dozen or so Blackwater Strange Lizards were forcibly twisted into pieces, exploding into balls of Blood Fog.

Chu Hen was secretly shocked. As expected of an expert of the Space-Breaking Stage, even though she had been eroded by the cold energy of the Ice Moon Demon Wolf, Xia Qing’s strength was still shockingly strong.

"Tsk tsk!"

"Ji ji!"

The Blackwater Strange Lizard continued to launch fierce attacks, but luckily, only cubs that had yet to mature were rushing over. As for the mature Blackwater Strange Lizards that were over two meters tall, they were still staring at the two, waiting for the right opportunity to make their move.

"Hiss!"

Blood continued to float and dance in the air, and Blackwater Strange Lizards after Blackwater Strange Lizards were chopped into pieces by Chu Hen's sword.

A pungent smell of blood filled the entire area. The stone bridge was filled with the corpses of the strange lizards.

"We'll be at the other side soon!" Xia Qing said.

Although it seemed like the pressure on Chu Hen was quite great, in reality, what Xia Qing was facing wasn't just a crisis on the outside. After all, the moment she activated the Strength of True Essence, the portion of energy within her body that was suppressed by the Ice Profound Cold Energy would also loosen.

Xia Qing had already felt the ice profound cold energy in her body start to become active again.

Time was running out.

"Boom!"

Just then, an adult Blackwater Strange Lizard finally stopped waiting.

A body nearly three meters long flew out of the black water. It looked extremely ferocious, as if it was the combination of a lizard and a crocodile.

An adult Blackwater Strange Lizard, was a level two Great Demon, and its overall fighting strength was comparable to a rank two Essence Mastering Stage practitioner.

Xia Qing frowned. She naturally did not dare to let Chu Hen, the only one with Rank Nine of Vein Opening Stage, fight against the mature monster lizard. Xia Qing lifted her hand lightly, and with a thought, a "whoosh" sound rang out, as the blue colored sword image transformed from the Strength of True Essence in her palm flew out like an arrow that had left a bow.

"Hiss!"

The strong sword shadow swept through the air like a thousand year old arrow and pierced through the head of the adult monster lizard. With a strange shriek, the lizard's corpse fell heavily on the water surface, splashing water everywhere.

"Tsk tsk!"

However, before Xia Qing could even heave a sigh of relief, another mature monster lizard suddenly charged out and pounced on her.
