After the truth came out, they begged me not to die.

At the most critical moment, heavy rain poured down from the sky.

The two people who stepped into the cave turned around and looked at the pouring rain. They looked at each other and smiled.

Finally, I didn't get soaked in the rain.

Chen Zun returned the umbrella to Shen Ruoyan, his spiritual power fluctuated throughout his body, and a mist rose from the wet clothes behind his back.

Shen Ruoyan's eyes stayed in the mist for a moment, then she pursed her lips and put away the umbrella.

"Thank you, husband."

Chen Zun looked up and asked doubtfully, "Why are you thanking me?"

"nothing."

Shen Ruoyan smiled but did not explain.

She also followed Chen Zun's example, using her spiritual power to dry the wet skirt under her feet, and stared at the rain outside the cave in trance.

If only it could go on forever...

She didn't want to leave this place.

However, this is just a test of trials.

Shen Ruoyan thought with a little regret, turned her head and observed the situation inside the cave.

There are traces of artificial carving around the entrance of the cave.

And further inside, there is a secret passage leading underground. It is so dark that it is difficult to see what is going on inside. It seems as if the light has swallowed up everything, making it look as cold as falling into an ice cellar.

Waves of cold wind came out from the secret passage, blowing on the body, and it was biting and cold.

It's colder here too.

Shen Ruoyan shrank his neck and tightened his coat involuntarily.

"Husband, it's so cold, shall we go down and take a look?"

Chen Zun stared at the secret passage, his eyes flashing with light, as if he was detecting the situation inside the secret passage.

But with the blessing of his spiritual eyes, he still couldn't see clearly. What was even weirder was that the cold wind blowing from the secret passage blocked his spiritual thoughts and prevented him from going deep.

He frowned, put on the cold-weather clothes in his storage bag, thought for a while, and then said, "If there's anything weird, let's go in."

In the entire land of ice and snow, this is the weirdest place, and it is also the only secret passage.

Coupled with the just-right heavy rain, it was even more like someone was deliberately pushing and guiding them here.

Moreover, the way they came had been blocked by heavy rain. The rain was going to fall for who knows how long, so there was no way out.

Shen Ruoyan thinks so too, but before that, we must be prepared. Since this place is said to be dangerous and unpredictable, if you are not careful, one mistake will lead to catastrophe.

"Husband, rest for a while and then we'll go in."

Chen Zun also had this idea and took a pill to restore the lost spiritual energy.

After taking a rest, Chen Zun took out another porcelain bottle, poured out a red pill, and swallowed it.

He threw the porcelain bottle to Shen Ruoyan, who looked confused. He smelled the mouth of the bottle and asked curiously: "Husband, what is this?"

"Fire Qi Pill, after taking it, can dispel the cold air entering the body. Take it quickly and let's go in."

After Shen Ruoyan happily took one pill, she put away the remaining fire pills with great solemnity.

After getting ready, Chen Zun took out a stick that looked like a torch. The difference was that the top of the stick was inlaid with a yellow pebble.

"Let's go, I'll explore the way in front, you follow me."

Chen Zun told Shen Ruoyan seriously, and when she nodded cautiously, he walked in front with the stick in hand.

He cast a trace of spiritual power on the stick, and the yellow round stone on the top of the stick immediately lit up, emitting a soft yellow light, illuminating the surrounding area about one foot.

After the two people approached the secret passage, they secretly increased their vigilance.

Under the soft yellow light, the dark passage was revealed.

This is a bluestone step that was cut out by someone. It has not been polished and looks rough, but there is a thin layer of ice attached to it, making it a bit slippery to step on.

The bluestone stairs spiral downward and go vertically, seemingly leading to the bottom of the snow-capped mountains.

The two of them did not dare to be careless and settled down carefully, fearing that they would accidentally slip and roll down.

The girls in the mirror didn't dare to be careless, didn't dare to show their anger, they were calm and focused on their feet.

After walking for about an hour, it was even darker here. The soft yellow light seemed to be suppressed, and could only illuminate the three or four steps below.

The surrounding cave walls were no longer stone, and the steps under his feet had all turned into blocks of ice.

Chen Zun's face became serious.

If his calculations were correct, he had already walked up at least a thousand stairs. Now, not only did he not reach the end here, but it was even darker, and it seemed that he would never be able to reach the bottom.

Shen Ruoyan came to him and said, "Husband, you have lost a lot of spiritual power, and now I am here to lead the way."

"it is good."

Chen Zun did not show off and handed the stick to Shen Ruoyan simply.

Along the way, he not only had to mobilize his spiritual power to resist the bone-eviscerating coldness, but he also had to use his spiritual power to maintain the brightness of the magic weapon. His spiritual power was depleted very quickly.

In the face of the unknown darkness, it is most critical to keep one's own spiritual power abundant.

Chen Zun took out a pill and warned, "Be careful."

"I know, husband, don't worry."

Shen Ruoyan nodded, holding up the stick and leading the way.

Chen Zun was a little worried, so he took out the black iron bar hanging from his waist and followed closely so that he could react if something happened.

The two of them stayed like this for a long time.

The cultivators outside the mirror looked a little bored, and of course, they couldn't help but feel nervous inside.

A monk has a strong heart and will not be easily shaken under normal circumstances, but if he has been walking in such a dark situation, to be honest, it is really torturous.

I don't know how long it took, but after Chen Zun and Shen Ruoyan took turns lifting the stick weapon back and forth a few times, suddenly there was a gleam of light from below.

The two of them were shocked, and when they looked at each other, they could see surprise in each other's eyes.

It looks like it’s almost over!

Out of caution, Chen Zun said: "Don't be careless. I'll go down to take a look first. You wait here."

The closer we get to a critical moment, the less we can relax.

Shen Ruoyan nodded nervously and said, "Husband, go back quickly. If you are in danger, come up quickly."

"Ah."

Chen Zun responded, holding the stick weapon in his left hand and the black iron bar in his right hand, and walked down.

The surroundings returned to darkness and silence.

I don’t know how long it has been, but Chen Zun hasn’t come back yet.

Shen Ruoyan was a little anxious inside. She was not afraid of the dark, but worried that Chen Zun had not come back after being away for so long.

"Husband..."

"Husband, how is it down there?"

Shen Ruoyan shouted several times, and his voice echoed in the dark passage, but no one responded.

I called several times in succession, but there was still no answer.

Shen Ruoyan's heart was in her throat and her face was full of panic. She shouted tremblingly: "Husband, if you don't come back, I will go down..."

There was no response, Shen Ruoyan gritted his teeth and decided not to wait.

She was really worried that something might happen to Chen Zun, so she could only grope her way down the ice wall in the dark passage.
