After an unknown period of time, Ji Yun woke up from his meditation. He had recovered about seventy percent of the True Qi that he had used up. He slowly stood up and twisted his body. A series of slapping sounds rang out, and Ji Yun instantly felt much more comfortable. He moved his limbs, and the injuries he had suffered previously were mostly healed.
Furthermore, after sensing his body's condition, Ji Yun discovered that although the True Qi in his body had not increased, it had become much purer. This was also good news.
Of course, this improvement was only a small part. The biggest gain from this trial was his understanding of the Yin-Yang Art and his control of internal strength.
After coming back to his senses, he sized up the stone room and didn't find anything unusual. Ji Yun didn't stay any longer and walked straight to the exit. Although it was called a door, it was actually just a square hole in the wall.
After walking through the thirty-foot-long cave, Ji Yun found another stone room. Other than a few more large stones, it was no different from the previous stone room. In fact, it was about the same size.
Ji Yun looked at the few large rocks and didn't find anything special about them, so he ignored them and continued walking toward the exit of the cave. The following journey was like a repeat of the same scene. The 30-foot-long stone caves connected to the stone rooms of the same size. If it weren't for the fact that the items in each stone room were different, Ji Yun would have suspected that he had entered an array.
After passing through more than ten similar stone rooms, Ji Yun finally arrived at a different place. Although it was still a stone room, this space was indeed quite large, much larger than the place where Ji Yun first appeared. The exit was no longer a square stone cave, but a black circular passage with a diameter of more than forty feet.
Ji Yun had been standing at the door ever since he entered the stone room. After a rough glance at the room, he closed his eyes and frowned as if he was sensing something.
He didn't encounter any danger along the way to these stone rooms, nor did he discover any abnormal existences. However, Ji Yun felt an inexplicable palpitation. The further he went, the more intense the palpitation became. When he reached the stone room, Ji Yun's heartbeat had unconsciously increased.
Unease, very uneasy. Ji Yun was sure that some kind of danger was approaching, and it was threatening his life.
"What is it? What could it be that made me feel a little suffocated?!”Ji Yun opened his eyes abruptly and scanned every corner of the stone room with his sharp eyes.
The stone chamber was very large, but the empty area was very small. Except for a path in the middle that was about five zhang wide from the entrance to the exit, the other places on both sides were filled with strange stone statues of different sizes. Ji Yun saw spiders, toads, lions, and human beings. However, it might be more appropriate to say that they were piled up because these stone statues were placed in a mess, and many of them were broken and broken.
What caught Ji Yun's attention the most were the potholes and black markings on the stone statues. The stone statue wasn't the only one. The ceiling, floor, and walls of the entire stone chamber were covered with such small pits and marks.
Ji Yun walked up to a toad statue. This statue was relatively the most well-preserved one, but this originally white statue was covered in small pits and black patterns. The stone statue was extremely huge, and Ji Yun could only touch the toad's front foot.
Ji Yun carefully looked at these small pits and found that they were all different. He touched them with his hand and muttered to himself with a frown,""Some of these pits seem to have been directly struck by extremely sharp objects, some seem to have been knocked out, and some…actually seem to have been bitten by teeth?”
As he spoke, even Ji Yun himself felt that it was somewhat unbelievable. He knew about this kind of stone. Its hardness was not low. It was really unbelievable that he could bite a hole in it with his teeth.
Then, Ji Yun touched the black pattern again. This time, he wiped away the pattern, revealing the original white color of the stone statue. Looking at the black stain on his finger, Ji Yun thought to himself, This looks like it was painted with a black brush.'
"Not good. This is poisonous!" In the next moment, Ji Yun's pupils constricted. He saw that his two fingertips that were stained with black had turned black, and a sharp pain spread from his fingertips to his brain.
Almost at the same time, before Ji Yun's brain could react, the jade pendant hanging around his neck emitted an emerald green light. At the same time, a cool breath entered his chest and flowed directly to his poisoned right hand. Several breaths later, a few drops of black blood emerged from Ji Yun's fingertips and dropped onto the ground with a sizzling sound.
"What kind of poison is this?”Ji Yun's expression changed slightly and he cursed himself for being careless. If it weren't for the jade pendant, it wouldn't be easy to force out this poison by himself. More importantly, the feeling of danger was getting stronger and stronger. Although he didn't know what it was, if he was really poisoned, he would die for sure.
Ji Yun stopped studying these things and walked to the circular passage, preparing to leave.
However, when he saw the situation in the passage clearly, Ji Yun's expression changed drastically.
What kind of black color was this passage? The layer of black on it was the unknown poisonous patterns on the stone statue. However, because there were too many of them and they were too dense, they completely covered the original color of the passage.
At this moment, a faint fragrance suddenly came from the passage.
"Hmm?" Ji Yun narrowed his eyes and a gleam of light flashed across them. Then, his ears twitched. There seemed to be a sound coming from the passage. Ji Yun held his breath and listened carefully. A series of " Sha " sounds entered his ears.
"This sound is…Wait!" Ji Yun's brows twitched. He had guessed what the sound was. In the next moment, an idea flashed through his mind. This voice, coupled with the small pits and black poisonous patterns on the stone statue, connected in an instant.
However, Ji Yun's face revealed a look of shock at the result of his guess. As he heard the sound coming from the passage getting closer and closer, he quickly ran to the side of the stone room and found a few stone statues to cross and block the surrounding hidden positions. He used his internal strength to wipe off the black poison on them and quickly hid inside.
After a while, the strange sound grew louder and louder until they reached the cave entrance. Ji Yun held his breath and stared at the cave entrance with his eyes half-closed.
It appeared!
Ji Yun's half-closed eyes suddenly opened. His pupils shrank smaller and smaller, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.
At this moment, all kinds of insects were crawling out of the cave entrance from all directions. On the ground, there were tiny snakes that were about three meters long and some insects that were the size of a baby's fist. Whether it was snakes or insects, they all had one thing in common: they were beautiful. Yes, she was beautiful. The bright colors and colorful patterns were extremely gorgeous, but Ji Yun knew that under these beautiful appearances, there was definitely a fatal poison.
Apart from the ground, countless black and brown centipedes that were three to four feet long crawled out from both sides of the tunnel. These centipedes continued to occupy the walls of the stone room as soon as they came out of the passage. In less than ten breaths, they had crawled all over the four walls of the stone room. At the same time, the ceiling of the stone room had turned from white to black. These black spots were spiders that were bigger than an adult's fist.
Before the ground was covered by snakes and unknown bugs, Ji Yun had already jumped onto a twenty-foot-tall stone statue and released a circle of green protective true qi around his body. Although he had already guessed this situation, when he saw the dense and countless poisonous insects around him and the exit of the poisonous insects, he still felt his scalp go numb and wanted to vomit.
It was only when the stone chamber was completely devoid of any white except for the stone statues, and when the snakes and insects had already piled up two to three layers on the ground, that no more insects continued to crawl out of the circular hole. However, those who didn't crawl out were instead a large group of insects that looked like mosquitoes that had been magnified several times!
It had only been twenty breaths, but this stone room had already become a sea of poisonous insects.
Hundreds of thousands of poisonous insects were scattered all over the stone room, and a person with torn clothes was standing on a stone statue. This situation was very strange. However, what was even stranger was that these poisonous insects clearly saw the presence of people on the stone statue, but after they took their positions, they did not move. They only stared at Ji Yun.
Ji Yun stood on the stone statue with a calm expression, but the beads of sweat on his forehead revealed his true feelings. Ji Yun didn't feel lucky when he saw the poisonous insects stop moving. Instead, he was even more shocked.
The venomous insects 'actions proved one thing, which was also what he had been waiting to confirm after discovering the existence of the venomous insects. However, this answer was the one he was most unwilling to face-there was something controlling these venomous insects behind them!
The situation was critical, but Ji Yun forcefully suppressed the heavy sense of unease in his heart, forcing himself to calm down as his thoughts spun rapidly.
" Although there weren't any poisonous insects on the way here, if I were to escape, the person controlling the poisonous insects would definitely chase after me. If he retreated into the Five Elements Passage, these poisonous insects would definitely not follow him in, nor would they be able to enter. However, it was impossible for him to last too long in the Five Elements Passage. Moreover, even if he could rely on the Five Elements Passage to defend himself, time was limited. If he could not leave the forbidden area, he would still die.'
" The only way to break out of this is to kill the mainframe. The thing that controls the poisonous bugs must be hidden in the tunnel or somewhere behind it. But to enter this passageway…
Ji Yun looked at the exit of the stone room. The circular passage was almost completely blocked by poisonous insects. It was expected that the passage would be filled with poisonous insects. Under such circumstances, it would be too difficult to find and kill the controller of the poisonous insects.
The two sides stood in a strange confrontation. Time slowly passed, and the sweat on Ji Yun's forehead had already flowed down his cheek and into his neck. At this moment, wisps of black or purple gas floated up from the stone room. Ji Yun knew that it was the poisonous gas emitted by these poisonous insects.
If someone were to enter this stone room now, they would probably be poisoned to death in an instant. Ji Yun knew that he was fine because of the necklace on his neck. It was emitting a green light and blocking the poison gas for him. Otherwise, the protective barrier formed by the power of wood converted from his internal strength would not be enough.
'Damn it, when did you become so hesitant? Waiting was death, retreating was also death. The brave would win if they met on a narrow road! They could only risk it all, and perhaps there was still a chance of survival!'Realizing that delaying would only be disadvantageous to him, Ji Yun cursed in his heart and immediately decided to attack first and break out of the encirclement.
Immediately, Ji Yun stomped on the stone statue and shot out of the stone chamber like a sharp sword. The upper body of the stone statue exploded when Ji Yun kicked it, and the lower body fell backward. Countless poisonous insects that couldn't dodge in time were crushed to death by the stone fragments that exploded from the lower and upper body of the stone statue. Immediately, red blood, green, black, purple, and other poisonous substances spread out, emitting a strong and disgusting stench.
The moment Ji Yun moved, a strange cry came from the tunnel. The countless venomous insects in the stone room immediately took action when they heard the cry.
The spiders on the roof shot out their silk, the snakes and poisonous insects on the ground spat out their venom, and the centipedes and insects on the walls near Ji Yun pounced on him with their bodies. Their targets were all aimed at Ji Yun, who was in the air.
The Yin-Yang School's God-given Son was in danger.
