The night was uneventful, without any incident. Early the next morning, Bian Yao made a suggestion, hoping to stay in the oasis for one more day, but was sternly rejected by the young man in gray. Helpless, he had to give up this idea. After washing and tidying up, the two left the oasis and continued heading south.
After three days of running like this, on the afternoon of the fourth day, they successfully reached the edge of the dry sandy land. Continuing to go south, there is still barren land ahead, but sparse grass vegetation can already be seen on the ground.
At sunset, the two of them dragged their tired steps to the southern end of the dry sand land.
A wilderness vulture quickly passed overhead, flying from north to south, dragging a swift shadow in the sunset. The two of them slowly stopped, and their way forward was blocked by a large canyon.
Before they parted ways on the outskirts of the imperial city, Ye Zhizi gave Bian Yao a map, which marked some special places, and this canyon was among them.
"Giant Insect Canyon" is a very deep and long grand canyon. It stretches for thousands of kilometers from west to east, spanning almost half of the chaos. This is an ancient and dangerous place, and no one knows how long it has existed.
At the bottom of the deep valley of the Giant Insect Canyon, there are all kinds of huge insects, including spiders, centipedes, scorpions, mantises, etc. According to rumors, there are very few powerful insects at the bottom of the valley, which can even easily kill the powerful Dream King!
At this moment, the setting sun was shining on the earth, and the golden afterglow shone on the bodies of the two teenagers, drawing a long overlapping silhouette on the ground. They stood quietly on the edge of the canyon, staring hard at the bottom of the canyon, with shocked expressions on their faces.
The cross-section of the canyon is very steep, with a depth of more than 100 feet. There are continuous cliffs on both sides, with various types of trees, flowers and plants growing in between. Because of the angle of the setting sun, the light and darkness alternately reflect the mottled canyon, making it appear spectacular and colorful at first glance. Looking at the bottom of the valley, there was smoke everywhere and it was hazy, making it impossible to clearly see the specific scene below.
While looking at the majestic Grand Canyon in the distance, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart! After a while, he said: "This seems to be the Giant Insect Canyon, and there is some trouble. It's getting dark now. Let's find a way to get there tomorrow."
"What trouble can there be! Rumor has it that there are many big bugs living down here." The young man in gray clothes said in a cold and arrogant tone. At the same time, he lowered his body, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it towards the bottom of the valley.
"Anyway, I know it's more dangerous down here. Those bugs are not simply big, otherwise they wouldn't be so scary." Bian Yao smiled, then squatted down to pick up a stone, and threw it hard at the bottom of the canyon. Smoke area.
Perhaps it was because the canyon was too deep or for some other reason, but the stones they threw down did not make or cause any sound or movement.
Before the sun had completely set, the two walked west along the edge of the canyon for a while, paying attention to the terrain and environment at the bottom of the canyon and the canyon walls on both sides, hoping to find some useful information.
After the afterglow faded away, the sky quickly darkened. They stopped moving and camped next to a protruding cliff beside the canyon. There were no tall shelters around, and the late autumn evening breeze was blowing constantly, which was a bit chilly on my body!
After night falls, the night sky is filled with twinkling stars, and there is peace and tranquility between heaven and earth.
Bian Yao took out a jar of spiritual fruit wine from the space bag and drank it with the young man in gray. Neither of them spoke, nor were they in a hurry to meditate. They just sat quietly, feeling the unique tranquility of the "Giant Insect Canyon" wrapped in the night.
However, not long after the earth fell into silence, some faint movements began to be heard from the bottom of the dark canyon. Occasionally, there would be one or two louder strange sounds that echoed back and forth in the valley.
"You should have heard it now, right?" Bian Yao listened for a moment, turned to look at the boy in gray, and said half-jokingly: "I hope those big guys only move around at night and hide and sleep during the day."
"It won't be fun if you really have to hide them all! Don't you want to see what those so-called huge bugs look like?" The boy in gray looked up and rested his head on the baggage. The plain sword wrapped in cloth was flat. Put it next to you.
"You don't know how powerful those big guys are! If we really encounter them tomorrow, don't underestimate them!" The wind in the canyon was quite strong, and Bian Yao felt a little cold. As he spoke, he came from the space bag He took out a thin robe and put it on himself. When it comes to resistance to cold and heat, middle and low-level dream cultivators are far inferior to sword cultivators of the same level.
***************************************
The sky is dawning, and the morning sky before the sun rises is slightly glowing with light cyan.
The narrowest part of Giant Insect Canyon is a hundred feet wide and long. If you want toTo reach the other side, unless you take a detour along the bank of the canyon for more than ten days, you can only cross through the smoky bottom.
In the middle of the valley slope in the north of the canyon, under a strange tree with fan-shaped branches, Bian Yao and the young man in gray were squatting behind the tree trunk, looking down at the misty valley bottom from time to time.
The baggage on the young man in gray disappeared, and in his hand there was only the unwrapped plain sword. Because the terrain on the valley slope was too steep and he was in a dangerous area, it was very inconvenient to move around with two large baggage on his back, so he had to temporarily put the baggage into a distant space bag.
The location where the two of them were at this moment was about fifty feet away from the bottom of the valley. Presumably because of the shorter distance, they could more clearly hear various chirping sounds and other light or heavy movements coming from below the canyon. However, due to the thick mist permeating the valley bottom and the special environment of the canyon, it was impossible to determine the specific location where the sounds and movements came from.
"What are you stopping for?" The young man in gray clothes frowned, with doubts in his words.
"No! It's not good to go down rashly like this. It's better to let me use my clone to go down and explore first, and get familiar with the environment at the bottom of the valley before taking action." Bian Yao shook his head slightly, frowned and said seriously: "You are here first Wait a moment, watch over the main body for me, and don¡¯t let me fall. Wait until I¡¯m familiar with the situation below before leaving, this will reduce trouble!¡±
After finishing speaking, Bian Yao turned around and leaned against the tree trunk to meditate. The valley wall was very steep, and it was impossible to sit down smoothly without something to lean on.
The boy in gray didn't speak anymore. He supported the tree trunk with one hand and stared at Bian Yao intently in case something happened to him.
A few breaths later, Bian Yao's dream clone suddenly stood next to the big tree. As soon as Fang appeared, he climbed onto a convex rock next to him, still holding the Wusha Sword in his hand. He turned around and smiled at the boy in gray, then lowered himself down and carefully moved towards the bottom of the valley.
The slopes of the canyon are really steep! The rugged rock walls are sloping and concave. In addition to sparse large and small trees, there are also a wide variety of grasses growing horizontally among the rocks on the valley wall. Some of them are shaped like needles and saws. If you are not careful, your skin will be scratched. hurt.
Climbing the stone wall, he slowly moved downwards. When he was about ten feet away from the bottom of the valley, white smoke began to appear behind and beside him, and the air became humid. About a quarter of an hour later, he reached the bottom of the valley and stepped on a strange patch of grass.
Unlike the top of the canyon, although it is late autumn, the temperature at the bottom of the canyon is neither cold nor cold, and it is very comfortable to be in it. Breathing attentively, Bian Yao turned his head and slowly looked around, but he saw the white mist flowing slowly, and everything that caught his eyes was hazy and blurry.
The fog is very thick, the visibility is only about half a foot, and you can't see the sky when you look up. When coming down, Bian Yao made a rough estimate and found that the space about ten feet high from the bottom of the canyon upward was filled with mysterious water mist of unknown origin.
After standing still for a while, Bian Yao found the direction and began to move toward the opposite side of the canyon.
The ground at the bottom of the valley is uneven. Some places are relatively hard, while others are very soft. Water accumulates in the potholes. Clumps of wild flowers and plants of different colors and shapes can be seen everywhere, and the mist is mixed with a strange smell.
Bian Yao held the Wusha Sword tightly and listened carefully to the movements around him. He slowly moved his body in the floating mist, not daring to make any sound.
Suddenly, there was a "click"! The bottom of Bian Yao's feet made a crisp sound, as if something had been crushed. He was suddenly startled and hurriedly looked down at his feet.
There is a mutilated corpse in the gray-green grass! What he had just accidentally stepped on seemed to be a human skull, half of which was missing. On the remaining half of the white skull, there were faintly visible gray spots.
Bian Yao was feeling surprised when a sudden rushing sound suddenly sounded in his ears, and it quickly approached where he was! He subconsciously tightened the Usha Sword in his palm and put on a defensive look on his face nervously.
While breathing, a huge crimson head broke into Bian Yao's sight. It was a giant centipede! The body is hidden in the mist and cannot be seen clearly as to how long it is. It is about three feet tall. The long tentacles are waving and twisting. It looks very scary!
As soon as it exposed its head, the giant centipede launched a ferocious attack on Bian Yao without any scruples. The pair of sharp venomous mandibles opened and closed to bite him everywhere on the body.
Bian Yao jumped back quickly, avoiding the giant centipede's first attack, and retreated continuously. Seeing that the attack failed, the giant centipede continued to launch a fast and fierce offensive. The actions of one person and one insect caused the nearby fog to begin to flow faster.
Because his line of sight was limited to half a foot and he could not clearly see the surrounding environment, Bian Yao did not dare to let go of his speed and moved. He could only rely on intuition to dodge back and forth within a limited range.
?After more than a dozen breaths, Bian Yao dodged another attack from the giant centipede. Just as he jumped back, he saw that the centipede suddenly stopped attacking and put on a defensive posture as if facing a formidable enemy. posture!
He just secretly said something bad! Suddenly, he felt something stabbed his back, and then his falling body stopped and hung in mid-air.
Looking down, he saw a thumb-thick spike coming out of his chest. Bian Yao's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a series of sizzling sounds came from the stabbed chest. Although the dream clone cannot feel pain, it can feel abnormalities and feel uncomfortable.
Bian Yao struggled and turned his head to look behind him. It was a huge scorpion! It's bigger than the centipede hidden in the mist opposite. It was its tail spine that pierced itself, and it was unknown when it quietly sneaked nearby and was waving its pair of huge dark claws, its sharp claws glowing coldly.
His eyes flashed suddenly, Bian Yao suddenly raised his arm and swung the Usha Sword, and quickly slashed towards the tail spine on his back, but before the blade touched the tail spine, his arm was tightly clamped by a giant pincer, and Both legs were also clamped by another giant pincer!
In an instant, Bian Yao's body trembled violently, and immediately turned into a dense aura, disintegrating and melting into the white mist!
