After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 647: The terrifying giant eye under the underground palace, the realm of heaven and man?
The ice coffins are piled very thickly, and the swarm of bone-eating beetles probably can't do anything to them.

At this time, in the corner of the ice coffin, a creature the size of a local dog, covered in white hair, a bit like a monkey and a bit like a mouse, was gnawing at the ice coffin quickly.

The hard ice coffin was torn into pieces by the beast. Almost instantly, a hole was bitten in the coffin. The beast picked up a corpse in the coffin and quickly pulled it out.

Oh, another body thief?

What the hell is this thing?

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows and immediately ran into the hall.

"Whoosh!"

Standing at the entrance of the palace, Chen Yang shot an arrow without saying a word.

What good can a corpse thief get?
"squeak……"

The beast was busy doing something, but instinctively sensed the danger, so he rolled over on the ground. The arrow passed directly past his body and nailed him to an ice coffin.

The ice coffin exploded and ice cubes flew everywhere.

The beast was startled.

It turned its head and looked at Chen Yang, and its eyes met Chen Yang's, like a thief who was caught in the act.

Time seemed to stop for a second.

"Ho!"

The beast glared at Chen Yang with red eyes, and immediately bared its fangs at Chen Yang.

Dare to show your teeth?
Chen Yang directly slashed forward with a spiritual sword energy.

"Squeak!"

The beast sensed danger and immediately rolled on the ground again.

Chen Yang took two steps at a time and quickly approached, using Shaoyang sword technique and pointing out several times in succession.

The sword energy is everywhere.

bang bang bang...

The ice surface suddenly exploded.

The beast was extremely fast and agile. It not only easily avoided Chen Yang's attack, but also jumped onto the beam of the house. It didn't even care about its body. It jumped onto the roof like a streak of white light and disappeared in a flash.

Chen Yang hurriedly chased out of the hall, only to see the beast leap down from the beam, roll on the ground, and come to the low wall on the left side of the Ascension Hall, disappearing in an instant.

When Chen Yang chased to the low wall, he discovered that there was an ice cave under the wall.

The ice cave is one foot wide, but no one knows where it leads to.

……

"Ding, S-level spirit beast [Ice Otter] found, the illustration is opened, and the reward [Ice Heart Stone]*1 is obtained. The item has been placed in the system warehouse and can be used at any time."

……

"Ding, mission released!"

"Mission: Hunting S-level Spiritual Beast [Ice Otter], Mission Progress (0/1)"

"Mission reward: 5 Divine Mind Pills."

……

Ice otter?

Chen Yang was slightly stunned and opened the illustration to take a look.

This is an otter with ice attributes. It likes to live in extremely cold environments. It is very timid, but its teeth and claws are poisoned by cold, and its bite force and digging ability are amazing.

He looked at the mission reward.

5 Shen Nian Pills.

It should be stronger than the bone-eating beetle.

But five divine mind pills only give 500 divine mind points. Is it worth the effort?
It feels a bit tasteless.

He opened the map again and found that the ice otter Red Fork was still nearby, probably hiding under the ice.

Because the map is a flat surface, it is impossible to tell the depth of its hiding place.

Chen Yang immediately turned on the radar again and probed under the ice.

It can be detected that many small passages have been dug under the ice layer, crisscrossing each other.

This must be the work of that ice otter.

However, Chen Yang did not find the ice otter. He compared it with the location marked on the map, but still could not find it.

Chen Yang frowned slightly. Is this ice lake so deep?

The ice layer is actually not very thick, about forty to fifty meters. Below it is a water layer, which is also forty to fifty meters thick. But below the water layer is another ice layer.

His current radar detection range is 160 meters, directly penetrating into the ice layer under the water layer. Comparing with the coordinates on the map, there is still no sign of the ice otter.

So, how deep is this icy lake?
He immediately used his mental power to explore again, but when he probed about twenty meters below the lower layer of ice, Chen Yang felt that his mental power was disturbed.

He immediately withdrew his mental power.

"Old Tree, what's going on under the ice?" Chen Yang touched the Shanyu Seal and asked the Three Corpses Divine Tree.

If we were to ask who knows the underground palace best, it would definitely be the Three Corpses Divine Tree.

"What's going on?" the Three Corpses Divine Tree asked back.

Chen Yang asked, "Why is the ice so thick? It's over a hundred meters deep, but we still can't find the bottom. Also, where does this cold air come from? Is there something under the ice lake?"

Mental strength is affected

"This one……"

The Three Corpses Divine Tree paused. “Your question really hits the nail on the head. I have never explored what is underneath. The ice is so thick that my roots cannot penetrate…”

"Before we came here, this was said to be a large tomb. Later, the Lord sent people to renovate and expand the tomb, and it has become the current size."

"The Ascension Hall has been the least modified. It has been frozen since we came here, so it is more difficult to renovate it..."

"As for the source of the cold air, the Lord said there seems to be an ice spring below. He has placed a ban below, not allowing us to touch it. He said that once the ice spring erupts, it will destroy the entire underground palace. We can't find out what's going on below, so we haven't paid attention to it until now..."

……

Ice fountain? Eruption?
Chen Yang frowned slightly. Even the Three Corpse Divine Tree didn’t know the specific situation?
"Go down and have a look."

Chen Yang decisively took out a bone-eating beetle.

Although he couldn't go down, the bone-eating beetle was small in size and could easily go down through the hole dug by the ice otter.

He can also use the spiritual imprint of Shan Yu Yin and the perspective of the bone-eating beetle to see the situation below.

"forget it."

The Three Corpses Tree seemed a little timid. "Let's not do that. If the ice spring really erupts, you can just run away, but what should I do?"

Chen Yang said, "It's not that serious. The ice otter is still down there. You should worry about whether it will destroy the ice spring you mentioned."

"This……"

The Three Corpse Divine Tree paused when hearing this, and what Chen Yang said seemed to make some sense.

If we don't get rid of that beast and let it mess around down there, there will indeed be great risks.

At that moment, the Three Corpse Divine Tree said nothing more, but just reminded Chen Yang to be careful.

Chen Yang immediately drove the bone-eating beetle into the ice cave.

Originally, the tourmaline toad should like and be best at this kind of environment, but Chen Yang was afraid of accidents.

I’m afraid that ice otter is not that easy to deal with, so it’s better to let the bone-eating beetle take on such risky tasks.

Anyway, he has a lot of bugs in his hands, so he won’t feel that bad even if he loses some.

Who doesn’t have relationships between close and distant people?
……

The bone-eating beetle flapped its wings and quickly dived down along the hole dug by the ice otter. Soon, it reached the water layer.

The cold made the bone-eating beetle feel a little uncomfortable, but it was a being in the realm of creation after all, so it could still resist it.

The bone-eating beetle went all the way down and soon dived to the ice layer below the water layer.

Following the markings on the map, Chen Yang directed the bone-eating beetles to a cave entrance and then dived in.

The ice layer was soaked in water at this time. The hole was obviously just dug and the water in the hole was freezing rapidly.

Chen Yang didn't care whether the bone-eating beetle could come up after going down. He was now full of curiosity about the situation below.

After only going down twenty or thirty meters, the bone-eating beetle gave him feedback that the surrounding environment was abnormally cold, and the range of mental power released by Chen Yang through the bone-eating beetle's mental mark was obviously compressed.

The bone-eating beetle dived all the way down for several dozen meters, and before the passage was completely frozen, a layer of water appeared below.

Flowing water layer.

The water in the water layer is constantly surging and the flow rate is not slow.

It was pitch black all around, and Chen Yang's mental power could detect that the space here was not small.

On the map, the red cross representing the ice otter was rapidly approaching his position.

Soon it appeared within Chen Yang's mental detection range.

This beast was also extremely fast in the water, swinging its limbs like a fish, and could cover a distance of dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.

It obviously sensed the intrusion as well.

"Evil beast."

Chen Yang immediately released his mental power and scolded.

Under this layer of ice and water, a bone-eating beetle might not be its match. However, given the strength of the bone-eating beetle, it will have no problem staying alive.

"Wow..."

The ice otter was indeed timid. When it sensed Chen Yang's mental power, it was obviously startled and immediately turned around and ran away. Chen Yang was amused.

Without saying a word, he controlled the bone-eating beetle and chased after it.

It was simply the opposite of Tian Gang, the ice otter was chased everywhere.

It was fast, but the bone-eating beetle was not slow either. The ice otter seemed to be chased by a ghost. It had the home advantage here, but because of its cowardice and fear, it just kept running away.

After running and chasing for hundreds of meters, the ice otter saw that it could not get rid of the bone-eating beetle, so it dived down.

The bone-eating beetle followed closely behind.

After a moment, the bottom was revealed, and a circular hole about forty to fifty meters wide appeared within the range of Chen Yang's mental detection.

The water gushed out from the circular hole, surging and extremely cold. The ice otter was chased and had no choice but to dive right in.

The bone-eating beetle stopped and Chen Yang used his mental power to probe into the cave.

There is weirdness.

The pressure on mental strength is becoming more and more obvious. There must be something in this cave.

Look at the water gushing out of the hole.

Could this be the underground ice spring mentioned by the Three Corpses Divine Tree?
Chen Yang's curiosity was further aroused.

Go on.

He directly controlled the bone-eating beetle to drill in. At this moment, he could be said to have no concerns at all. The worst that could happen was that a bone-eating beetle would die.

The cave was very deep, and the deeper he went, the colder the water became. The bone-eating beetle gave him feedback that it was very cold, even close to the bone-eating beetle's limit.

The surrounding cave walls were covered with ice, and water was constantly gushing out. It was a bit difficult to flow upstream.

After diving for a while, Chen Yang saw the ice otter again.

Perhaps it thought that Chen Yang didn't dare to chase it, so it hung in the water, looking up.

"squeak……"

When the ice otter saw the bone-eating beetle chasing after it, its eyes turned red. After hesitating for a moment, it did not dare to rush forward, but turned around and continued to dive.

Chen Yang didn't know how long he had been diving or how deep he had gone. He even wondered if he was connected to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.

The bone-eating beetle and the ice otter were only fifty or sixty meters apart. Chen Yang's mental power had been greatly compressed by the mysterious power in the cave, and he could barely detect a distance of fifty or sixty meters.

Just at this moment, the ice otter suddenly stopped.

"Wow..."

A terrifying cold air suddenly gushed out from below, and the ice otter was the first to be hit. It was covered by the cold current, and its body was almost instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.

what's the situation?
Chen Yang was startled suddenly, and before he could brake, the bone-eating beetle fell headfirst and was also caught in the cold current, its body crackling from the freezing.

He wanted the bone-eating beetle to return, but it was too late. The bone-eating beetle's body was quickly frozen and was completely out of control.

Chen Yang's mental power was also being quickly drawn away as the bone-eating beetle was frozen.

Before his mental power was cleared away, Chen Yang forced a glance.

Deep in the ice spring, less than fifty meters away from the bone-eating beetle, there was an ellipsoidal object emitting a faint blue light.

Eye?

A huge eye seemed to be staring at him silently and lifelessly. Just the touch of mental power made Chen Yang feel extremely frightened.

The hairs all over his body stood up, he felt suffocated instantly, and his mental strength was instantly drained.

……

Outside the Ascension Hall.

“Hoo-chi…”

Chen Yang sat down on the ground, trembling all over, his face as pale as paper, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Although it was very cold around him, his back was already soaked with sweat.

"What? What did you see?" The Three Corpses Divine Tree was also very curious when seeing him like this.

Chen Yang took a long time to come back to his senses.

The terrifying giant eye lingered in his mind for a long time.

At this moment, he was a little glad that he just let the bone-eating beetle go down. He had thought of sending his spiritual sense down so that he could see more clearly. Fortunately, he did not do that, otherwise, he really doubted that his newly formed spiritual sense would be shattered by that glance.

Chen Yang stammered as he told the Three Corpses Divine Tree what he had seen and heard under the ice.

"Eye?"

After hearing this, the Three Corpse God Tree was very surprised, "Are you sure you saw an eye?"

Chen Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "I'm not blind, I can tell the difference..."

"It's not that I don't believe it. If the eyes are that big, then how big must the body of this thing... this existence be?"

It would be a lie for the Three Corpses Divine Tree to say that it was not surprised. However, it had lived in the underground palace for so long, and when Chen Yang suddenly told it that there was a giant creature under the underground palace, how could it not be shocked.

It even wanted to go down and investigate on the spot.

Chen Yang's mind still hasn't completely calmed down at this moment.

Although it only took a moment for Chen Yang's mental strength to be exhausted, he was sure that he saw it very clearly, that was an eye.

The pupils were dark blue, he could even see the pupils, so what else could that be but eyes?
Given the distance at that time, the eyes were probably at least as big as a winnowing basket.

What kind of creature is that? What giant thing?
If the eyes are that big, how big must the body be?

That scene kept lingering in his mind. Chen Yang didn't dare to think too much about it. Fearing any accidents, he quickly evacuated the Heavenly King Palace.

Miaoshu Palace.

Chen Yang calmed down a little, but the Three Corpses Divine Tree was no longer calm.

It thought it was the boss of the underground palace, but now such a huge creature of unknown origin has emerged from under the underground palace. How can I feel at ease?

When Ma Yang and the others learned about it, they were also surprised, but they were more worried.

It feels like your neighbor has a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

It made them all want to move.

"Is there any way to figure out what it is?" Ma Yang said.

Chen Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

He has lost an S-level bone-eating beetle and he is feeling very painful.

Go investigate again? Lose another S-class bone-eating beetle?

It's not that he was reluctant, but he was already rash enough this time. The existence in the ice spring must be at a very high level. If he angered it, he might not know how he died.

He had never had such a feeling when he faced the Black Dragon King. It was an instinctive fear that penetrated deep into his bones. At this moment, Chen Yang had only one thought, to stay away.

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

It would be fine if you don’t know about the danger, but if you know the danger and still go forward, aren’t you just stupid?
Even the Three Corpse Divine Tree originally wanted to send its soul down to take a look, but after listening to Chen Yang's statement, it decisively gave up the idea.

Chen Yang asked, "Old Tree, did Lord Shi really not tell us about the situation down there?"

"Ah."

The Three Corpses Divine Tree nodded seriously, "He only told us that there is an ice spring below, but he didn't mention any eyes..."

Chen Yang opened the map of the underground palace and took a look.

Calming down now allowed him to think more. What surprised him was that there was no danger mark on the location of the Ascension Palace on the map.

Even after the ice otter was frozen in the ice spring's eye, the red cross representing the ice otter disappeared.

Although Chen Yang only saw the eyes and did not see its full appearance, but with such big eyes, it was definitely not a human.

If the map doesn't show it, there are only two possibilities.

First, the map has limitations, and spirit beasts above a certain level will not be displayed.

But Chen Yang does not think this possibility is very high. If the map has display restrictions, the system would have given him a prompt when it originally issued the map.

Moreover, this flat map can display the existence of the Dao Zhen Realm. If a higher realm cannot be displayed, then that thing can only be something beyond the Dao Zhen Realm.

Realm of Heaven and Humanity?
But Xuan Jing and the others said that the road to heaven has been cut off and the realm of heaven and man no longer exists in the world.

This is a bit contradictory.

There is only one possibility left, that this thing is a dead object!
Since it is a dead object, it will naturally not be displayed on the map.

Chen Yang felt that this possibility might be greater.

Recalling the horrifying scene just now and the terrifying oppression that the giant eye brought to him, Chen Yang actually did not feel any emotion from that eye. The eye seemed to be looking at him, but more like blank and unfocused.

That kind of oppression should be the instinctive oppression coming from the qi and blood.

No matter what that thing is, its original realm is probably beyond the realm of Dao Zhen.

Therefore, Chen Yang now boldly speculates that it might be the corpse of a spiritual beast in the celestial realm.

That's right, a dead body.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang told the Three Corpses Divine Tree about his guess.

After hearing this, the Three Corpse Divine Tree remained silent for a long time.

Chen Yang said, "Old Tree can relax. If it were a living thing, I don't think it would be possible for it to not make any noise for so many years. Moreover, after the Heavenly Road was cut off four hundred years ago, the Heavenly Realm fell one after another, and there are no Heavenly Realms in the world anymore..."

The Three Corpse Divine Tree still feels unsafe.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

I don't even know what the Heavenly Road is. You say there are no Heavenly Beings if there are no Heavenly Beings?
