1255: C1255 Xylophilus

C1255 Xylophilus

Ye Zichen and co. also quickly followed Zhou Yi into the cave.

However, both the abbot and the sky also noticed that as Zhou Yi walked deeper and deeper into the cave, the thin layer of ice around the cave entrance also gradually melted, almost all of it evaporating into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

By the time they had followed Zhou Yi into the cave, everything in the cave had returned to normal. Not only were there no traces of snow, even the cold feeling had disappeared.

From the outside, the mountain didn't seem very tall, but after entering the cave, they walked for nearly half an hour in this winding cave and still hadn't reached the end.

"Are we walking in parallel? Why haven't we walked this long to the end? Even the mountains outside aren't that big! " Ju Zhong couldn't help but to ask.

Zhou Yi, who was walking right in front, replied, "This road is parallel to the bottom. I think we've already reached a position that's one hundred meters deep underground."

"What? Close to a hundred meters deep?" Ju Zhong had an expression of disbelief.

As there was no light in the cave, Zhou Yi would leave a bunch of orange shadows on the wall for everyone to shine on.

Because of this ball of light, they did not feel the cold feeling of the underground.

The cave was still dry and warm.

"That's right. According to my communication with the Umbra, that thing is not far ahead." After saying that, Zhou Yi sped up his pace, and everyone followed him immediately.

As expected, the crowd walked forward for less than ten minutes. Zhou Yi, who was at the front, had already stopped. In front of them was an empty cave the size of a football field.

Zhou Yi waved his hand and a ray of fire soared into the sky, illuminating the entire cave.

With the help of my light, the crowd was finally able to clearly see the situation in the cave.

There was nothing in the cave except a stone table in the center. On the stone table, there was a box placed squarely on top. It was hard to tell what was in the box.

"What's in the box?" Ju Zhong asked curiously.

Now that Zhou Yi was stopped here, he didn't dare to move forward by himself.

Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "There is a wooden fish inside."

"What?" A wooden fish? Why would the wooden fish be placed here? " Ju Zhong widened his eyes. He still couldn't see what was inside the box.

The old abbot got excited after hearing Zhou Yi's words. He quickly asked, "The wooden fish you talked about, is it black?"

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows, "It looks like you know where this wooden fish came from."

"If my predictions are correct, this should be the inheritance of the Ancient Temple. Saying that it's an inheritance might be a little exaggerated. It can only be considered a treasure of the Ancient Temple."

The old abbot suddenly sighed.

Two hundred years ago, when the Ancient Temple was just established, it was rumored that a black wood fish had descended from the sky.

However, it was said that the voice of the wooden fish could cleanse a person's soul. Two hundred years ago, the abbot used this wooden fish to subdue a thousand year old Ice Crystal Beast.

However, since then, the wooden fish had disappeared.

No one knew where the wooden fish had gone to. But from then on, the mountain at the back was sealed by the old abbot.

"From the looks of it, it seems like that wooden fish was eroded by the Ice Crystal Beast back then. I originally thought that it would be able to recover back to normal after placing it in a place with abundant Spiritual Qi for a hundred years, but I never expected it to return to its current state." Zhou Yi sighed.

With that, Zhou Yi quickly walked to the side of the stone stage and opened the box.

Sure enough, there was a slightly broken wooden fish inside. However, a thin layer of frost had already covered the surroundings of the wooden fish.

"If we break this wooden fish like this, will the soul that it devoured be released back?" Ju Zhong asked.1

Zhou Yi pondered for a moment and then covered the wooden fish with his hand.

"How is it? Did you sense the souls of those people? "

Zhou Yi retracted his palm and said, "I don't feel the souls of the living inside, but he has already become a space of his own. That artifact spirit is also hidden in that space. If you don't want to harm those souls, there's only one way …"

"Go in and get it yourself." Ju Zhong quickly replied.

"That's right, so you can go later!" Zhou Yi said coldly.

Ju Zhong immediately smiled ingratiatingly: "Don't, how can I do this alone? Old Zhong, why don't you come with me? "

The old abbot recited the Buddhist prayer, and then said: "This is a matter of Ancient Temple, if there is anything else, this old monk is willing to go together with you."

Zhou Yi waved his hand: "There's no need for so many people to go together. You just stay outside and watch. I'll go in with him and also come out in the time it takes to drink some tea."

The old abbot could not help but bestow another Buddhist title, "Many thanks, Almsgiver!"

Zhou Yi extended his hand and his finger gently streaked across the air. Following that, a drop of blood dripped from his finger.

The fresh blood fell onto the wooden fish, and was absorbed by the black wooden fish.

After the wooden fish absorbed Zhou Yi's blood, it suddenly emitted a blinding light. Then, Zhou Yi and Ju Zhong were enveloped by the light and disappeared.

When the two of them opened their eyes again, the people around them had already disappeared.

"Are we coming in now?" Ju Zhong glanced at the surroundings. It didn't seem any different from the cave from before. However, the area was indeed a lot larger than that cave.

Zhou Yi nodded, "Be careful. We have already entered its world."

Seeing Zhou Yi's serious look, Ju Zhong also became serious: "Alright! Rest assured, I will definitely not drag you down. "

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes when he heard Ju Zhong's words. He thought to himself, "Aren't you the one who's dragging me down a bit too often?"

This place was extremely spacious and empty. Even after walking for a long time, the two of them were still unable to find anything.

Helpless, they could only follow in one direction and continue forward.

After the two of them had walked for nearly half an hour, they realized that they were almost out of the cave. Moreover, the paths on both sides of the cave were the same as when they came in.

"I didn't expect the world at his side to be this big. It's practically the same as the outside. I wonder what kind of scene it's like outside this cave." Ju Zhong couldn't help but grumble.

At the same time, Zhou Yi felt that his perspective had decreased a lot after coming to this world. He could no longer see beyond the cave.

Therefore, he said, "Based on the current situation, the outside world will probably be the same as the world we came from."

"Then how can we distinguish which one is the real artifact spirit?"

"We'll know each other when we see him." After Zhou Yi finished his sentence, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

"Ai, Zhou, wait for me for a moment!" Following that, Ju Zhong also followed...
