Watch Out! Danger Ahead

Chapter 1019: Promise (1)

Uncle Xiang’s words made the hearts of the young men, who were hoping to see the living as soon as possible, turn cold.

This River was really eerie and terrifying. Because of the dense Yin Qi, ordinary people’s bodies couldn’t withstand it. After staying there for a long time, they felt so cold that they were shivering.

In particular, there were many branches in the criss-crossing River, and the light was really dim. After staying in such a cramped environment for a long time, they felt that time was passing like years. They couldn’t endure it for a moment and wanted to escape immediately.

Unfortunately, although they didn’t know how much time had passed, they knew that they should have entered the nine Dragon cave.

Even if some of them wanted to retreat, the intersecting river channels were like a ball of tangled hemp. Even if they turned around, they would not be able to find the exit without a guide.

On this ship, uncle Xiang was the only guide who was familiar with the route to the nine Dragon cave. At this time, none of the three young men dared to mention that they wanted to turn back, for fear of angering this eccentric one-eyed old man.

Everyone was silent for a moment. Without anyone to prop up the oars, the small boat moved along with the current. When it fell, it hit the reef, making a ‘shua shua’ sound. It then passed through the winding mountain wall and echoed far away, making people’s hair stand on end.

A young man felt the blood vessels in his head throbbing violently when he heard the sound of the ship’s collision and Echo. After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn’t bear the strange silence and asked, ”

“Uncle Xiang, if there’s no one supporting this boat, will it be washed out of the nine Dragon cave?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the young men were moved.

After their curiosity died down, fear welled up in their hearts. Everyone was already thinking of retreating as the legendary Yu Lun void realm had been tortured to a state of near extinction by this oppressive environment.

If the boat could be washed out of the nine Dragon cave by the current, that would be the best.

“Charge out?” The shadow sitting at the bow of the ship moved slightly and sneered, “”We’ve already entered the nine Dragon cave. There are a lot of bends here, and the water flows down from the mountain peak. It’s circulating in an irregular pattern.”

His hoarse voice sounded even more sinister and terrifying in this narrow environment. Coupled with the surrounding temperature, it gave people a feeling that there was not the slightest bit of warmth,

if there’s no one to lead the way and you want to leave this place just by relying on the speed of the water current, you can leave quickly if you’re lucky. If you’re unlucky, you’ll have to spend ten days to half a month in circles.

The Qi temperature here was extremely low, and the yin Qi was heavy. After staying in there for a long time, one would not be able to withstand the corrosion of the yin Qi and would not be able to last more than a few days.

If they were unlucky, they would not be able to float out for ten days to half a month. Even if they had brought enough supplies, they would still die inside.

Uncle Xiang had the deepest understanding of the nine Dragon cave, and his words were the most authoritative. When the young men heard this, they couldn’t help but feel despair and didn’t dare to ask any more questions.

Song qingxiao didn’t mind. Her body was strong, so Yin Qi didn’t affect her much. After her cultivation reached the peak of the middle level of the nascent soul formation realm, she no longer needed the weak energy from food.

Therefore, she had been estimating the time since they entered the cave, and she knew that the ship had been in the cave for about two hours.

At the same time, she also split her attention to observe the route. The terrain here was complicated, but her divine sense was powerful, so these complicated maze-like terrains were not a problem for her.

She realized that after the ship entered the nine Dragon cave, it had not actually gone deep into the cave.

For more than two hours, they were just circling around the entrance. There were even a few times when uncle Xiang led the boat, but they were still further and further away from the center of the nine Dragon cave. There were even two times when they almost retreated to the exit.

The other three young men didn’t notice this, but song qingxiao ‘saw’ it clearly with her spiritual sense.

She even suspected that uncle Xiang, who was the guide, who was said to enter the cave once a month and had been through cold and heat for decades, did not know the way.

However, this person’s attitude was really calm, not knowing if he was just trying to be mysterious, afraid that they would remember the way.

Song qingxiao didn’t make a sound and just let the boat drift.

About half an hour later, someone finally couldn’t help but say in a trembling voice, ”

“W-how long have we been in the cave?”

He was so cold that his teeth were chattering, but as soon as he finished speaking, the other two young men were also trembling. No one could answer him.
