Chapter 194 - 194: 173: The Story of Little Black and the Mural 2
While the two were observing the murals, the ground had already been covered in black liquid.
Splat.
Chen Sheng touched the ground with his liquid arm.
Nothing unusual happened.
“Let’s go.”
Seeing this,
Chen Sheng immediately stood up and walked towards the interior of the grand hall.
Shen Ziming followed closely.
Splat.
During their walk,
An unsettling sound came from beneath their feet.
But both of them paid no attention.
Their eyes continuously looked around, trying to find the total of Qi Jie Stones.
But strangely,
Until they reached the gate at the deepest end of the grand hall,
They didn’t find anything.
Compared to the moss that could be seen from time to time in the corridor,
The grand hall was very clean, with no trace of life, apart from themselves and the black liquid crawling on the ground.
“Didn’t you say that near the Heavenly Person Seal Land there will be Qi Jie Stones?”
Chen Sheng looked at Shen Ziming by his side, questioning doubtfully.
“Something is indeed off.”
Shen Ziming frowned.
“The surrounding spiritual energy of the sealed land is very abundant, it should not be like it is now, with no signs of life.”
“Unless…”
Speaking up to this,
Shen Ziming’s face showed a sudden realization, as if he had remembered something.
He looked at the black liquid on the ground and was about to speak when, rumble!
Suddenly,
The entire grand hall shook violently.
The originally calm black liquid on the ground, as if stimulated by something, suddenly churned up waves.
A huge roar passed through the water above them and echoed in the grand hall.
This sound was extremely familiar, being the one that came from the Respected Elder’s confrontation with the black liquid earlier.
The Respected Elder is approaching!
Realizing this,
Chen Sheng looked at Shen Ziming,
A mutual sense of urgency flared up in their eyes as they looked at each other.
“If I’m not guessing wrong, the Respected Elder should be someone from the
Martial Arts Association who is specifically tasked with repairing the Sealed Lands.”
“Even if they’re not coming for us, they’ll definitely try to find a way to get here and repair the Heavenly Person Seal.”
While speaking,
The rumbling and shaking within the grand hall slowly subsided.
But the urgency in their hearts did not dissipate.
The temporary disappearance of the sound meant two possibilities.
Either, the Respected Elder was temporarily repelled by the black liquid,
This would be a better outcome.
But the worse situation would be,
The black liquid was gradually unable to hold back the Elder’s assault.
If it were really the case, it wouldn’t take long for the Respected Elder to arrive here.
If the two sides were to collide,
Chen Sheng knew without even thinking,
They would be doomed.
But so far,
They still had no clue about the whereabouts of the Qi Jie Stones or the legacy of the breathing technique.
Could it be that they made this trip in vain?
Thinking about this, Chen Sheng’s face became rather ugly.
He didn’t dare to gamble.
Although resources are important,
Resources can be obtained at any time.
But he only had one life.
“We’re running out of time, let’s retreat for now.”
After briefly thinking,
Chen Sheng had made up his mind and prepared to leave this place.
When necessary, he would be willing to abandon what he had.
Having said that,
Chen Sheng hesitated not a moment, and walked towards the outside of the grand hall.
On the way inside,
Through the scenes in the corridor, Chen Sheng could be sure of one thing,
This underground Sealed Land must have a passage to the outside world, otherwise, there would be no signs of life.
Since one end of this direction was the Bronze Hall, maybe the other direction would be the exit.
Compared to waiting idly, Chen Sheng would rather go and search.
At this moment,
Seeing Chen Sheng getting ready to leave,
Shen Ziming, even though he was somewhat unwilling, knew very well the current situation; if they lingered here for too long, they might encounter danger.
He had no choice but to follow.
Just as the two were about to leave the grand hall,
Squeak squeak-
The black liquid on the ground suddenly lifted up a gigantic curtain out of nowhere, blocking the two of them, seemingly intending to stop them from leaving.
Before they could react,
The raised black liquid began to shrink and coalesce.
“Don’t go just yet.”
A stranger’s male voice rang out from within the black liquid.
At the same time,
Chen Sheng watched with wide eyes as the liquid twisted and changed color.
Eventually,
When Chen Sheng saw the face of the person in front of him, he was immediately stunned.
He glanced at the mural on the wall with lightning, then back to the figure that appeared before him.
There was no mistake,
The person in front of him looked exactly like the tribal chief depicted in the mural.
A person from tens of thousands of years ago, alive in the present?
When this thought rose up from the bottom of his heart, Chen Sheng subconsciously didn’t want to believe it.
Because it was simply too incredible.
But on second thought, he didn’t find it overly surprising.
After all,
If Heavenly People could exist from ancient times to the present, why not humans?
Moreover, judging from the mural, the strength of this tribal chief was very powerful, even capable of killing the mountain-sized one-eyed giant cow.
“Who are you…?”
Staring at the approaching tribal chief,
Chen Sheng asked with a frown.
Although the other party had guided them all the way here,
They were completely in the dark about their purpose.
Therefore,
Chen Sheng did not let down his guard. While asking,
He subtly signaled Shen Ziming with his eyes.
Shen Ziming understood,
With imperceptible steps, the two were ready to run far away at the first hint of an abnormal situation.
However…
Chen Sheng looked at his own liquid hand grip.
He was now seriously injured, and most of his body was made up of the black liquid..
