Chapter 111 – Trapped in a stone chamber
But at this moment, she actually felt a strange entangling force impacting her and making her whole body stagnate as if trapped in the marsh.
At the critical moment, Long Yu had rather abruptly released the strange grass dry marsh mood, and suddenly, it miraculously helped in slowing down her next attack by half a beat!
“Flash!”
Long Yu immediately moved sideways and went not far away from the location where her attack was about to impact.
Bang!
Her sword attack bombarded on the ground and invoked tremors in the entire gulf causing numerous stones to roll down. Right then, both of them heard some strange sound.
“What happened?”
Their respective complexions changed when they realized that the situation seemed somewhat unusual!
Just the way lunar debris had appeared earlier, again, a seemingly huge fissure began to appear on the ground!
However, Long Yu simply refused to get distracted by this because, at present, his greatest enemy was Liu Yuan!
“Nine Hidden Dragon Fist, melt the road to hell!”
He blasted a punch, and suddenly, black dragon qi as if rose straight from the hell rushed toward Liu Yuan.
Unfortunately, Liu Yuan was too fast and even this attack was unable to touch her. She instantly dodged and moved to a farther place.
“Nine Hidden Dragon burst stream!”
Long Yu immediately punched the ground and a stream of dragon qi suddenly gushed out of the exact location where she moved to an instant ago! He was aiming for this all along and his plan worked.
This was his sure-shot killer move, and so far, no one had been able to escape from this attack.
Originally, she had almost no time to escape from this attack, but as soon as the column of dragon qi erupted, the gulf floor cracked open!
Her seductive tender body suddenly fell into the fissure that appeared all of a sudden and as if swallowed her whole body. This actually saved her from getting enveloped by the dragon qi.
Long Yu also did not get time to think and the fissure spread throughout the gulf, almost appeared under his feet, making him stagger all of a sudden.
“Damn it, Nine Hidden Dragon Prance!”
He responded quickly and was all set to get out of there.
However, as soon as the air current curled up below his spear, a boulder fell from above and pounded on the ground where he was standing. This caused him to lose balance and the spear suddenly launched him into the pit!
He found himself surrounded by darkness as he was falling deeper into the pit. He only felt a terrifying Yinqi emerging from the depths of this pit and soon it covered him completely.
His stature bumped on the surrounding walls a few time as he continued to fall deeper and deeper until the dizziness overcame his mind and he finally crashed heavily into the ground.
“Damn, my bad luck cannot be any worse. I actually fell all the way to the bottom of this pit.”
He thought while enduring the dizziness.
This place was rich in lunar qi and seemed like the source of that lunar debris.
In a place like this, it was simply unpredictable to predict what might happen next!
He found out that the concentration level of lunar qi in this pit was already off the charts. He could not understand what in the world happened to cause such a thing.
Soon, he discovered that whenever the lunar qi approached his chest region, it would become even more violent!
“Is the nine hidden dragon qi provoking the lunar qi? Is that also the reason behind the collapse?”
He thought then immediately summoned Zhentian Sun behind him which suddenly illuminated the surroundings.
In this pitch-black underground place, this was the only means to see properly.
However, what he saw suddenly left him stunned.
He was not in some ground fissure but in a completely sealed ancient stone chamber!
This stone chamber was very small and Long Yu was surrounded by four gray walls. He could not figure out the composition of the material used in these walls.
Long Yu was shocked because he couldn’t understand how he fell inside this stone chamber because there was not a single opening anywhere.
This stone chamber was completely closed from all sides, making it seem like the place a hermit would choose before sacrificing himself!
But besides him, there was one more person in this stone chamber and was lying unconscious on the ground. This person was none other than Liu Yuan!
She had also fallen together with Long Yu into this stone chamber.
Seeing her unconscious, Long Yu didn’t seem to bother much about her condition and started to examine the stone chamber.
“Shatter!”
Long Yu condensed his entire strength in his fist and punched the gray wall. He soon found out that the wall was extremely solid and rendered his punch useless!
“So it’s impossible to break this strange looking gray wall.”
His complexion faded.
How should he leave this sealed stone chamber?
This was the so-called case of ‘fear of the unknown’!
Right now, he did not know who built this stone chamber, what was the purpose behind building it. He also did not know what might happen next.
There were a lot of mysterious places like this in this world, and most of them were extremely dangerous. Once entered, one would never be able to come out.
If this sealed stone chamber was one of such dangerous places then what should he do?
He was extremely cautious and began to examine closely, trying to find something special or strange that might become a valuable clue for getting out of there.
As he expected, he soon discovered four small gray stones, each embedded in the four walls of the chamber. These gray stones were constantly emitting strong lunar qi.
“These are lunar debris!”
Long Yu was shocked when he saw four lunar fragments.
The appearance of a ‘lunar debris’ was enough to cause fierce competition among the four super experts of Zhenling second layer!
However, right now, a total of four of them appeared in front of his eyes!
Long Yu was shocked for a moment then finally decided to examine them.
From the observation, he immediately understood why it was called lunar debris because these four gray stones looked like pieces from the debris of a stone tablet.
These four stones were cut sharp at angles and were definitely built by someone.
“Lunar debris turned out to be a man-made thing, but, who can create something like this? And where is the rest of the stone tablet?”
He thought then began to study one of the lunar debris embedded in the wall.
He stroked it with his hand and found out that he could move it. So long as the Xuan qi was injected into it, followed by applying force from outside, it could be pressed into the wall!
“What will happen if it’s pressed down?”
Long Yu thought then turned his face to look at unconscious Liu Yuan.
No matter what, there was no other way. It was better to give it a try!
He was determined and abruptly pressed the lunar debris into the wall.
He was fully vigilant, expecting the appearance of some kind of trap that might finish him off, or bury him alive in this pit, but he soon found out that even after he pressed the lunar debris, there was no response from the stone chamber.
Only the lunar qi became more and more agitated and rushed towards his chest.
Unfortunately, the lunar qi was completely suppressed because the dragon qi was much more formidable than the attacking lunar qi.
When he released the lunar debris, he noticed that it was protruding out of the wall.
“This stone chamber has four stones. What if they are pressed simultaneously?”
But, how to press four stones simultaneously!
Being an expert of Zhenling first layer, he could certainly shoot Xuan qi to simultaneously press the other three stones.
However, he discovered that his Xuan qi began to corrode the moment it came in contact with this stone chamber’s high concentrate lunar qi and was completely devoured. So it was impossible to press three stone from so far.
When Xuan qi was devoured, he also tried to use Qian spear shadows to press the stones but it didn’t work.
“Will dragon qi work on the stones?”
Long Yu tried to condense nine hidden dragon qi on one stone and shot the same towards the other three stones.
As expected, dragon qi was not devoured by lunar qi!
“What happened?”
Long Yu tried again and again but soon discovered that at his current level, he could release only two streams of dragon qi, strong enough to press the stones but the third one failed.
Now, he had no way to press the last lunar debris!
As soon as he spent some of his dragon qi, he was quickly surrounded by lunar qi and it began to consume his inner strength.
“Not good ……”
Long Yu frowned and temporarily gave up on the idea of pressing the four lunar fragments.
He relaxed a bit then tilted his head and looked towards Liu Yuan who was still lying unconscious on the ground.
“It seems I will have to wake her up……”
Just when he thought this, her whole body began to tremble.
Long Yu used nine hidden dragon qi to shield himself from this stone chamber’s lunar qi, but she simply did not have a way to resist the invasion of lunar qi.
When he was not paying attention, her body had been invaded by lunar qi!
“First, I need to save her.”
He frowned and somewhat reluctantly made the decision of saving her.
If he was unable to leave this damned place then he would surely die within few days!
Even if this did not work, he could surely use her wisdom to figure a way out of this place, after all, two minds would produce better results.
He must hurry up.
In two or three steps, he arrived beside her and hugged her soft tender body. At present, she was trembling in his bosom.
Immediately, he activated the nine hidden dragon qi and made it invade her Dantian and meridians.
He could only think of this method of using his dragon qi to invade her body and drive out the lunar qi!
This was an extremely complex process and it was possible to accidentally destroy her cultivation. If she was not unconscious right now then it would have been impossible for Long Yu to maintain this method.
However, his speed seemed a bit slow.
At this moment, her meridians were being corroded by the lunar qi. Her black eyebrows changed color and turned white like the snow. Even her beautiful black hair slowly turned white.
In a while, her beautiful body was entire covered with frost!
