Chapter 723 The Insect Hole
The swordsman led Beto to a small hut that was no different from the one where he had just fallen asleep, but there was no oil lamp to light it, and the air seemed to be filled with more cold air.
"here it is?"
Looking at the dark little house, for some reason, Beto suddenly felt a sense of resistance. However, the swordsman did not seem to have any intention of letting him leave and directly ordered him to follow.
The small house was pitch black, with only a few pieces of wooden furniture vaguely visible. However, the sword-wielding Taoist seemed unaffected and easily made his way to the bookshelf on the inside.
click!
He lightly pressed his finger on the hidden mechanism, and a secret door suddenly appeared, leading to a long, downward-facing staircase-like passage.
"Follow."
The two stepped into the passage together. It was still pitch black, but since it was a straight downward path with no obstacles, Beto only stumbled a little and didn't have any major problems.
Of course, what Beto was more concerned about was the smell in the air, which was a bit like the scent of herbs and medicine, and a bit like the stench of a corpse. The combination of these strange smells would be quite pungent to an ordinary person, but Beto surprisingly found it alright.
As Beto followed the swordsman, he inhaled the scent. With the scent accompanying him, he felt as if time had slowed down. He didn't know how long he walked before a green light slowly appeared at the end of the passage.
The entrance to the passage is a hidden door through a bookshelf, while the exit at the end of the passage is a gate made of unknown flesh and worms fused together.
Normally, even Beto would feel nauseous and even start to gag upon seeing this scene, but whether it was due to recent experiences or changes in his body, he was surprisingly indifferent to this scene that was causing him to lose sanity.
His gaze didn't linger on the insect gate for long; following the sword-wielding Taoist through it, he quickly turned his attention to the world beyond!
"Fuck me!!!"
A cry of surprise suddenly rang out, and the swordsman walking in front turned around to look at Beto, whose face showed shock.
He couldn't close his mouth, and his eyes were practically popping out of their sockets. It's no wonder he looked like that; the world behind the wormhole was just too outrageous.
First, after they passed through the insect gate, they came to a cliff formed of earth and rocks.
Yes, you heard right, a cliff!
I don't know if these people hired a great magician or used a lot of manpower, but they actually managed to carve out a huge cave underground!
The cave is shaped like a three-dimensional cylinder, with scattered emerald green flames floating in the air, emitting light and illuminating the surrounding environment.
Although the environment was somewhat dim overall, it was still possible to see the general surroundings clearly, at least the way was clear. There were some other dark shadows that were not clearly visible, but they were probably rocks or something similar.
The cave was very quiet, with almost no loud noise. The occasional chirping of insects was not bothersome.
Although it cannot compare to the Huanghua Temple above, it is still quite huge. Apart from the place where they stand, the rest of the place is basically a cliff. If you look down, you can only see pitch blackness, which can be described as bottomless.
The cliff faces are connected by suspension bridges, which intersect to form a seemingly chaotic but actually orderly transportation network, like a large spider web.
At the end of these suspension bridges are many stone chambers of varying sizes. If you look closely, you can vaguely see figures moving around inside, but most of the time they are inside the stone chambers.
What exactly is this place?!
Seeing this astonishing scene, Beto's tension rose to another level. If the Taoist temples outside were only admirable, then this place was enough to make one's heart tremble.
What respectable family would build such a gloomy place?
This doesn't look like a good place!
Beto stared at the abyss-like cave, momentarily frozen in place, hesitant to take another step. The sword-wielding Taoist noticed his nervousness, then chuckled softly and slowly spoke:
"Let's go. Weren't you looking for your brother?"
Little brother! Oh right! I still need to go find Bass!!!
Beto may be a bit cunning and not very moral, but he has deep feelings for his brother. The first thing he does when he wakes up is call out his brother's name, which shows how important his brother is to him.
To find his younger brother, he was willing to venture into any danger, even if it meant facing a perilous situation. So, after recalling the purpose of his trip, he quickly mustered his courage and followed the sword-wielding Taoist onto the suspension bridge.
crunch~
The suspension bridge looked brand new, yet it gave off a sense of disrepair. It swayed and wobbled as you walked across it, as if it might collapse at any moment. Coupled with the cold wind blowing from somewhere in the cave, it made Beto's heart pound wildly.
I knew I was right, something was definitely wrong here!
The strange aura that had been circulating in the passageway now filled the entire cave, and when it reached a certain level, even Beto could no longer remain indifferent.
Beneto was on a swaying suspension bridge, surrounded by burning green flames, and filled with an indescribable, strange atmosphere. For a moment, he felt dizzy and unsteady, stumbling forward. Several times, his legs gave way and he almost fell off the suspension bridge.
"Fuck!!"
Seeing himself nearly fall, Beth's dizzy head cleared up briefly. Faced with his strange state, he could only look at the sword-wielding Taoist with lingering fear, hoping for his help.
"Haven't you gotten used to it yet...?"
Seeing this, the sword-wielding Taoist muttered something in a voice only he could hear, then ignored the other person and continued walking down the suspension bridge.
"Hey! I..."
Seeing that the sword-wielding Taoist was ignoring him, Beto had no choice but to stare at the darkness below, then patted his cheeks to force himself to wake up.
Gulu~
After nervously swallowing, he tried to take a few more steps. This time, he had no major problems, which boosted his confidence considerably.
However, after taking only a couple of steps, a sudden, muffled thud came from the cliff face to his left. Before he could adjust, he stumbled, his legs gave way, and he fell to the side.
"Oh no! Ahhh!!!"
A sudden feeling of weightlessness washed over him, and he instinctively screamed. But at that moment, a masked face began to magnify in his eyes.
