Chapter 218: Ning Yan Was Ambushed (1/2)

In the dark night, Cheng Yu had fallen into the depths of Death Swamp and the surrounding purple alligators were staring at him covetously.

“Haha! Cheng Yu, this is result of opposing Kunlun. It’s impossible for you to escape this calamity. Die!” In the sky, an old man floated there as he raised up a golden glittering longsword, mocking him unbridled.

“Ah!” A large golden sword image chopped down, flying towards him.

“I’m dead? I died like this?!” Cheng Yu howled. Immediately, he sat up with his head filled with sweat, mumbling to himself.

“Eh? What’s this place?” Sitting on the ground, Cheng Yu looked at the scene in front of him as he was unable to make sense of the problem. Suddenly, it was as if he was enlightened, both of his hands touched his own body recklessly. He touched his face as well, and all of a sudden, he yelled in delightment, ”I didn’t die! I didn’t die! Haha, I’m still alive!”

After his excitement, Cheng Yu started sizing up his surroundings. It seemed like a big shrine. The decoration could be said to be dazzling. On the wall and the big obelisk, there were lots of unknown engravings.

“What’s this? Spiritual Tool? Key?” Cheng Yu turned around, he suddenly saw there was a large purple key hanging above the shrine’s main seat.

“What’s going on here? How did I get into this place?” Cheng Yu turned muddle-headed. He had been beaten into the swamp by that old man from Kunlun. “After that…after that, it was a large whirlpool that sucked me away.”

“Could it be this is inside the whirlpool?” Cheng Yu subconsciously thought.

“Aiyo!” Cheng Yu wanted to get up and take a look around when all of a sudden, an acute pain came from his chest. It was only then that he remembered he was slashed by the Golden Core expert just now.

“D*mn it. Lucky I had gotten myself a good teacher. Otherwise, this time I would have really died,” Cheng Yu tore opened his clothes and saw the greenish armor on him had a long scar. It looked really shocking. If this strike had hit his real body, even if he had used the best glue, he wouldn’t be able to stick his body back together! Cheng Yu swallowed two Reversal Pills as he sat down on the ground and recuperated for two hours. Finally, his Qi and blood had returned to normal.

“Anyone? Is there anyone?” Cheng Yu climbed up and stood at the big shrine as he shouted twice. Other than his own echo, no other sound was produced.

“Such a big shrine actually has no one?” Cheng Yu looked at the big purple key on the shrine’s master seat. After that, he started walking to the shrine entrance. But not long later, he was blocked by a door.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

“Anyone here?” Cheng Yu used his strength and knocked on the stone wall. Unfortunately, no matter how much Cheng Yu shouted, other than his echos, there was nothing else!

“What the f*ck is this place?” Cheng Yu walked back as he followed the other passageway. However, the end result was the same. At the end of those passages was a stone door blocking his way forward.

“Eh? This sunken shape looks very weird. Where have I seen it before?” At this moment, Cheng Yu suddenly noticed the sunken seal on the stone wall. Just now he didn’t take notice of it. It was only now that he recalled that it seemed like every stone door had this sunken seal.

“Could it be a key? Key? Eh! Isn’t this the shape of the large key outside?” Cheng Yu seemed to understand something as he ran to the big shrine happily. When he saw the shape of the key again, he spoke excitedly immediately, ”As expected, it’s you!”

“It’s just that there’s a restriction placed here and I am also injured right now. There’s no way I can retrieve it,” Cheng Yu saw that there was a lustering bright barrier surrounding the key, so he spoke helplessly.

“D*mn it, it seems like I have to stay here to recuperate for the next two days,” Cheng Yu circled around the restriction twice, and with his current situation, he did not dare to go forward to retrieve it. Ultimately, he could only returned to his original spot and sit down. Taking out the roasted meat and wine from the ring, Cheng Yu started sizing up the big shrine once again while eating.

“This place is so weird. Everywhere is sealed up. And how did I arrive at this big shrine? There’s only a key in this whole shrine, truly so mysterious,” Cheng Yu ate his drumstick while looking at the glowing key, gloomily yet curious.

“Heard that there’s a Death Shrine in this Death Forest. It’s unlikely to be this, right? Isn’t it too ridiculous? But I never heard that there’s another other shrine in this Death Forest! If this is the real Death Shrine, then I truly profited from a disaster!” Cheng Yu bit his drumstick while thinking happily.

“Senior Sister Ning Yan, inside is the legendary Death Bone Tomb? Other than the vegetation here being lush and tombs everywhere, there seems to be nothing special!” Ning Zi looked at the tombs and marveled.

“You better not look down on these tombs. Let’s quickly continue on our journey. Otherwise, it would be troublesome during the night,” Ning Yan said solemnly.

“The vegetation in this place is lush, producing large amounts of precious medical ingredients. During the day, there would only be demonic beasts entering. But when the night comes, all the demonic beasts would leave this area because the thing below comes out. Think about it, the demonic beasts in this Death Swamp are sufficient to compete against us, but during the night, they don’t even dare to roam here. You tell me if it’s scary?” Ning Xue helped Ning Yan explain.
