Chapter 266 Entering the Cave
"Master, in my opinion, this huge rock is quite strange. Let's try to see if we can break it into pieces," Xie Qijun said, his eyes sharp as he stared at the huge rock in front of him.
Lin Xian'er on the side nodded slightly in agreement, and moved a little further away to give Xie Qijun enough space to move his hands and feet.
Xie Qijun took a deep breath, drew the Dragon Roar Sword with his right hand, and with all his strength, swung it vigorously at the boulder. There was a deafening "bang," but the boulder remained unmoved, like an impenetrable fortress.
Xie Qijun frowned slightly, but was not discouraged. He swung his sword again and again, but no matter how hard he tried, the big rock remained intact, without even a tiny scratch.
The rabbit spirit standing nearby opened its eyes wide, its face full of astonishment. It couldn't suppress its curiosity, and rushed forward eagerly, using its unique skills to try to break the big rock.
However, all the attacks were in vain. All the attacks were like an ant trying to shake a tree against this big rock.
After hacking away several times, Xie Qijun finally stopped and, panting, gazed at the still intact stone. He thought to himself: This stone is definitely not an ordinary object. Such a brute force attack will obviously not work. I must find another strategy. Thinking of this, he took a few breaths and began to think of other possible methods.
After careful consideration, Xie Qijun decided to try a fire attack. Flames instantly leaped up. He then slowly approached the boulder, directing the flames toward its surface. The raging fire licked at the stone, making crackling sounds, but the boulder remained unmoved, as if unfazed by the blazing flames.
Seeing that the fire attack was ineffective, Xie Qijun changed his strategy without hesitation and used water to attack the large rock. The clear water hit the rock, splashing countless water, but the rock remained as stable as a rock, unaffected by it.
Just as Xie Qijun was racking his brains to think about his next move, a strange-looking monster was slowly crawling on the ground not far away from them. The monster was huge, half of its body was buried deep in the ground, and the other half was exposed.
Its hideous face now looked a bit bewildered. Its eyes, as big as copper bells, stared straight at the empty scene ahead, and it kept muttering, "How strange! That alluring fragrance clearly came from here. How could it suddenly disappear without a trace? What on earth happened?"
After resting for a while, Lin Xian'er slowly walked towards the big rock, walked around it, and looked it up and down. But after looking for a long time, she did not find anything special about the rock, just like before. It looked no different from an ordinary big rock.
Suddenly, Lin Xian'er had an idea and decided to use her special ability to test it out. She took a deep breath, exerted force on her right arm, and swung out a punch like lightning, striking the boulder hard. With a loud "bang", the seemingly indestructible stone shattered in an instant, debris flying everywhere.
The rabbit spirit nearby witnessed this scene, its mouth gaping in shock, its round eyes nearly popping out of its head. It groaned inwardly, "Oh my god, this woman is too violent! She's like a truly ferocious tigress! My poor rabbit life is completely hopeless now..."
Thinking of this, the rabbit demon couldn't help but feel sad, and even began to wonder if he should just lie down and die. After all, facing such a powerful opponent, revenge would probably be a distant prospect, and those deceased descendants would just have to consider themselves unlucky.
Xie Qijun slowly walked over to Lin Xian'er's side. He looked down at the dark cave under the big rock and was thinking of asking Lin Xian'er if she planned to go down and explore.
Who would have thought that before they could finish their words, an extremely powerful suction force suddenly came from the cave, like an invisible giant hand, tightly grabbing the two of them and the rabbit spirit, and mercilessly sucked them into the cave in an instant.
After they were sucked into the cave, the broken rock seemed to have self-awareness and quickly pieced itself together. In the blink of an eye, it was back to its original position, blocking the cave entrance tightly.
The world after entering the cave was pitch black, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Lin Xian'er reacted quickly and hurriedly took out a night pearl emitting bright light from her arms.
Instantly, a faint light spread throughout the cave, barely enough for people to see their surroundings. But before long, the night pearl's light suddenly went out like a candle in the wind.
Seeing this, Lin Xian'er unhesitatingly pulled out a few more night-shining pearls emitting a gentle glow from her bosom. However, just like the previous one, the light of these night-shining pearls disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Could it be that there really is something mysterious here that can devour the light? Thinking of this, Xie Qijun couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He tightly grasped Lin Xian'er's soft and boneless little hand, fearing that he would accidentally get separated from his master.
Just like that, the two of them, along with a cute and well-behaved rabbit, moved forward slowly and cautiously in the darkness.
They had no idea how long they had been walking when a faint light suddenly appeared ahead of them. Lin Xian'er and Xie Qijun glanced at each other, then in unison quickened their pace as they headed towards the light.
As they approached, they discovered they were facing an immense cavernous space. In the very center of the cavern stood a towering, dazzling tree. Every branch and leaf of the tree shone with a dazzling light, seemingly illuminating the entire cave.
"Tree of Life?" Xie Qijun couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise the moment he saw the tree. He couldn't believe that the legendary Tree of Life would appear in this place of exile of the Tianzong.
You know, he had only come across the record of the Tree of Life by chance in an ancient book in the palace. And because this sacred tree had not appeared in the world for a long time, many people even believed that the legend about it was nothing but a fabrication.
Hearing Xie Qijun's exclamation, Lin Xian'er turned around curiously and asked, "What is the Tree of Life?"
