Looking at the spirit beasts crouching on the ground at the bottom of the abyss continuously transforming into human forms and cultivating cross-legged, Tian Zongyu and Lan Lan didn't even dare to breathe loudly. The netizens of the inner region * novel network posted this because they knew that as long as the spirit beasts below discovered their whereabouts, any one of the many spirit beasts could easily kill the two of them. In front of these dozens of spirit beasts that could only transform into human forms, the two of them could almost foresee the miserable state of being torn apart by them.
The two of them climbed on the thick trunk of the big tree and looked at the bottom of the abyss for a while. Because they were both injured, they were a little tired. Lan Lan gently patted Tian Zongyu's shoulder and signaled to him with her eyes. She slowly retreated and returned to the relatively wide platform of the big tree.
Tian Zongyu followed them back to the platform on the big tree. He looked at Lan Lan and said softly,"No wonder this place is called a forbidden land. If you fall from the ground of your palace into this abyss, even if you don't fall to your death, you will be eaten alive by these spirit beasts.”
Lan Lan was still shocked by the strange scene at the bottom of the abyss. After hearing Tian Zongyu's words, she said faintly,"Actually, the name 'Land of Extremis' was only given to us by our ancestors three hundred years ago. It is said that before this abyss was named, the disciples of our palace could still drive their celestial devices into this abyss. At that time, this abyss grew all kinds of rare plants with various effects. Every three to five years, the disciples of our palace would drive their celestial devices into the abyss to collect them for the palace to refine various medicinal pills. Three hundred years ago, the disciples of our palace flew above the abyss on their magic tools. They were prepared to fly their magic tools to the bottom of the abyss as usual and pick precious plants. However, when those disciples flew above the abyss, their magic tools all failed and fell to the bottom of the abyss. The palace disciples who had not reacted in time all fell to the bottom of the abyss. The disciples behind saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly stopped the flying magic tools. They landed on the ground and looked strangely at the abyss, but there was nothing unusual. The people in the palace were very curious. When they saw that the ritual implement had reached the sky above the abyss, it seemed to have lost its control. In order to verify their speculation, a few people stood on the ground at the side and controlled the ritual implement to the sky above the abyss. An unbelievable thing happened. Every time their ritual implement flew above the abyss, it immediately fell into the abyss. Everyone was convinced. Thinking of the dozen or so palace disciples who had fallen to the bottom of the abyss from such a high place, they immediately reported the matter to the Palace Master at that time. Later, the palace sent disciples to fall into the abyss through the rope dozens of times in order to explore the unknown mystery, but it was always a meat bun hitting a dog, never returning. As time passed, the people in the palace stopped exploring this abyss. The name of the Land of Extremis was called out and became the topic of discussion in the palace.”
As he listened to Lan Lan's explanation of the history of the abyss, Tian Zongyu couldn't help but nod his head. He suddenly realized something and said,"So that's what happened. However, what happened in the middle?”
Lan Lan shook her head." I don't know either. The people in the palace have been investigating for nearly three hundred years, but they haven't found anything." However, from what I've seen today, the malfunction of my spiritual device should be related to these spiritual beasts. Even if it's not, those missing disciples sent to the abyss to investigate must have a great connection with them.”Lan Lan replied softly.
"Lan 'er, you are very knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Do you know how these spirit beasts can transform into human forms?”Tian Zongyu asked curiously.
"I don't know. I've never seen any records of this in any ancient books. As far as I know, even before the spirit beasts were driven to the Western Spirit Beast Realm, when humans and beasts coexisted, such a thing never happened. This is really an inconceivable thing!”Lan Lan said quietly.
"Oh, looks like this is another difficult puzzle to solve. Lan 'er, what should we do now? We can't go up, we can't go down, and there's no food here. Are we just going to sit here and wait to starve to death?”Tian Zongyu saw that Lan Lan was unable to explain the phenomenon of a spirit beast turning into a human, so he changed the topic and laid out the most practical problem.
"I don't know either. It seems that we should slowly think of a way. If there really is nothing to eat, we can only learn from those pigs, dogs, and caterpillars and eat these leaves to satisfy our hunger.”Lan Lan still didn't seem worried at all. She spoke innocently. The gloominess on her face, which was originally due to her worry for her father's safety, had actually disappeared after seeing the fear of the dozens of spirit beasts transforming into human bodies. She had temporarily returned to her normal state. Although any one of those dozens of spirit beasts was enough to take their lives, as long as they were not discovered by them on this high ground of hundreds of meters, there would not be any danger. Therefore, as long as the two of them were careful, they did not have to worry about the spirit beasts discovering their existence.
"Hehe, that's good. Won't we become herbivores?”Tian Zongyu finished laughing. But as a man, he naturally couldn't maintain Lan Lan's optimism. He had to use his own actions to find a way out for Lan Lan and himself. He had to fulfill his natural duty as a man to take good care of a woman.
After Tian Zongyu finished speaking, his eyes couldn't help but look carefully at the surrounding precipice. He wanted to see if there was still a place for him to climb up, so that he could climb up to the ground of the palace with the majestic buildings. Only then would he have a way to rescue Lan Lan.
However, on this precipice, other than the scattered lush greenery, there was only gray rock everywhere, as if it was cut by a knife. There was no way out.
Seeing Tian Zongyu's eyes darting around, Lan Lan knew that he was looking for a way out of this abyss. She didn't say anything more, but her eyes were focused on his focused face. Her eyes were full of trust.
Tian Zongyu saw that this precipice was as sharp as a knife, and there was no place for him to climb. He still did not give up, and his eyes carefully scanned every piece of land around the tree.
Suddenly, Tian Zongyu discovered that the cliff that was covered by the thick branches and leaves slightly below the big tree had a black color that was different from the surrounding rock walls as the leaves trembled in the breeze. It seemed to be a cave about the size of a meter. Tian Zongyu was shocked and pointed at that place. He said to Lan Lan,"Lan 'er, look. There seems to be a cave over there.”
Lan Lan followed the direction of his finger and looked at the drizzle. As the leaves trembled slightly, that place was indeed different from the surroundings. It really looked like a cave. She was overjoyed and said happily,"Yu, it's true. It looks like a hole.”
"Wait for me here. I'll go down and take a look.”
"Yes."
Tian Zongyu's hands were on the branches of the big tree, carefully climbing down to the place where the strange dense leaves were. Very quickly, he arrived at his destination. His right hand was still on the tree trunk, and his left hand gently brushed the leaves and branches, pushing away the dense leaves and trees. As expected, under the dense leaves and branches, there was indeed a dark cave.
Tian Zongyu gently stepped into the cave. He could only see that this deep cave, apart from the faint light of the sky outside, could still be seen. However, when he looked into the depths of the cave, it was pitch-black like ink, and he could not see anything. "Lan 'er, there's really a big hole here.”After Tian Zongyu entered the cave, he brushed away the thick leaves and stuck his head out, calling out to Lan Lan in a carefree voice.
