Chapter 428 Blade Light
Duan Rong prepared all the things he needed to bring, and then he walked down the wooden steps on the east side of the pavilion and came to the door on the first floor again.
This door was in a dark corner at a distance from the entrance of the first floor steps, and the color of the door was dark. If Fan Hongjiao and the others had not taken him there last time, Duan Rong would not have noticed that there was a door here.
He walked to the door and pushed it open with a creak. Behind the door was a thick darkness that could not be dissolved. The dark steps at his feet extended downward and gradually submerged in the darkness.
Duan Rong took out the prepared torch and lit it with a fire starter.
He stood at the door holding the torch, and the wind blew past, and the swinging flames burned his ears.
Duan Rong took a step and stepped into the darkness. The door behind him creaked and closed.
The sound of the wind stopped abruptly, and the flame of the torch in his hand instantly rose up. The sound of the burning flame was very loud in the silent space.
The first time Fan Hongjiao and Duan Rong walked down this dark staircase, this time he was alone.
In the dead silence, he walked down alone holding a torch. The light of the torch could illuminate about ten feet of the staircase, and then there was endless darkness, and the darkness was endless...
Duan Rong walked like this for an unknown period of time. He repeated a certain stiff movement, constantly alternating his feet to walk down, and there was thick darkness in front and behind him.
The sound of the burning torch seemed to become a part of this dead silence after hearing it for a long time... It kept ringing on Duan Rong's eardrums.
A thought suddenly popped up in his mind: as long as this staircase is long enough, anyone who keeps walking like this will definitely go crazy at some point.
Duan Rong walked in the dead silence, and just when he felt his brain go from numb to active, like boiling water, all kinds of random thoughts emerged, completely out of control... After a while, he saw a glimmer of light at the end of the darkness.
Finally, he was almost at the crack in the ground.
Duan Rong quickened his pace and walked down, finally stopping for a moment in a dim light.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of fear flashed across his eyes.
A dim light shone from the open stone door in front of him, illuminating his feet. Duan Rong stood there, looking at the endless darkness behind him.
This dead silent road was really a bit creepy.
He looked at the torch in his hand that was almost burnt out, threw it aside, and stepped into the dimly lit stone door.
In the corner of this stone room, there was still the old man sitting in meditation.
Duan Rong stood there, clasped his fists and bowed, and respectfully called out: "Mr. Yi!"
The old man looked at Duan Rong with a strange look in his eyes, and remained silent.
Duan Rong did not speak again, but walked to the stone wall full of carved animal patterns, took out the key, and stuffed it into the mouth of a certain animal head. As the key turned, the stone door opened, and Duan Rong slipped in without pausing.
As the stone door closed, the old man muttered something and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.
Duan Rong took a deep breath in the corridor. He was not worried that the old man would stop him. Lu Geng said that he and Wang Yue had come down here before. The Dark Forest is free for inner disciples to enter and exit. The old man might be curious about why he, a new inner disciple, would go down to the Dark Forest alone, but the old man looked like he was not a nosy person, so Duan Rong clasped his fists and said hello, and immediately entered the corridor.
Although the corridor was not long, Duan Rong still lit another torch before moving forward.
Turning around the end of the corridor, he came to the narrow stone chamber at the entrance of the underground gap. Duan Rong came to the edge of the gap, grabbed an iron chain, extinguished the torch in his hand, threw it at his feet, grabbed the iron chain, and jumped into the gap.
This was not the first time that Duan Rong had slipped down the iron chain. As soon as he jumped down, he entered the state.
At the edge of the dark forest, a figure suddenly jumped down from the cliff in a patch of grassy grass emitting a faint glow.
Duan Rong's body was stable, and his spiritual sense suddenly released, instantly covering a large area outside the grass.
This was also the reason why Duan Rong dared to go into the dark forest alone. His Taizang Sutra had already achieved the eleventh level, and the range of his spiritual sense was definitely not comparable to Fan Hongjiao's. What's more, he was not going to go deep at all, and only fought some low-level Yuan beasts on the edge.
Duan Rong shuttled in the darkness from time to time. Suddenly, he flashed a knife in the darkness, and cut the little snake that pounced on him from the shadow into two pieces. Duan Rong opened his cloth bag, and the body of the little snake fell into it.
Duan Rong tried not to walk in the dense forest, because he remembered Fan Hongjiao's advice last time: in the dark forest, plants are sometimes more terrifying than Yuan beasts!
Duan Rong's figure flickered in the darkness. He suddenly crouched down slightly in front of a bush. At this time, at the edge of his spiritual sense, several inner disciples were besieging an adult arrow pig.
The skin of an adult arrow pig has become keratinized, and it is difficult for the vital energy to penetrate. Several inner disciples were sweating profusely and kept attacking the neck of the arrow pig. A shallow pit had been cut in the cuticle there, but it would take a while to penetrate it completely.
At this time, the arrow pig suddenly straightened its back, and the vital energy on its back surged. A group of arrows shot out, and the rain of arrows instantly covered the inner disciples.
Two people were a little slower and had been pierced by arrows, but these arrows were not poisonous, and those people had protected their vital parts just now, so even if they were pierced by arrows, it was not a critical position.
The arrow pig wanted to break through the chaos, but was blocked by several people.
Duan Rong avoided this area, changed direction, and continued to move forward.
In the grass somewhere on the edge of the dark forest, a small furry thing suddenly stretched out from the gap in the grass. In the middle of the furry thing, there was a big eyeball standing upright.
The big eyeball flickered, and the furry thing that stretched out from the grass began to turn. As it turned, the big eyeball looked around.
And in the deep grass below this big eyeball, a black shadow crouched.
It lay there without making a sound, and its claws and fangs emitted a faint cold light even in the dark.
This low-level Yuan beast is called Muwei Ni.
The furry thing sticking out of the grass above its head is its tail, and there is an eye on its tail. It is crouching in the grass at this time, sticking out the eye on its tail to help it search for prey. Once it finds the target, it will slowly approach in the grass. Once it reaches the hunting distance, it will pounce from the grass and bite the prey to death.
But when the Muwei Ni was crouching in the grass searching for prey, suddenly a little fluorescence flashed in front of its eyes. The fluorescence was like a firefly in the outside world.
There were no fireflies in the dark forest, but this Muwei Ni didn't care much. After all, it was at the critical moment of searching for prey, and the fluorescence was just a little bit. What effect could a small thing have on it?
But in the next moment, the flickering firefly suddenly flashed and sank directly into its head.
The next moment, the head of the Muwei Ni was like petrified, motionless, and even the big eyeball on its furry tail that stretched out of the grass was closed at this time.
Then, a black shadow fell beside it like a ghost!
That black shadow was Duan Rong.
Duan Rong looked at the Muwei Ni in front of him, and the knife light flashed, and a half-inch of knife light flashed on the blade instantly.
Although this Muwei Ni was still a low-level Yuan beast, the Yuan Qi in its body was much stronger than that of him, a warrior who had not even achieved the first level of Yuan Qi realm.
If Duan Rong did not use the artistic conception knife light, it would be impossible for him to pierce the body of this head of the Muwei Ni.
In fact, it was not a problem for Fan Hongjiao and Wu Shidao to take down a Yuan beast like Muwei Ni, but if it was Lu Geng and Wang Yue, even if the two joined forces, it might still be a bit tricky.
In the darkness, a cold light flashed, and the blade with a half-inch blade pierced the heart of the leader tail lion with great precision. Duan Rong pulled out his knife, but the frost pattern phosphorus crystal knife in his hand was still not stained with blood.
The moment the blade pierced its heart, the leader tail lion trembled and fell to the side at Duan Rong's feet.
Only a trace of blood flowed from its wound.
Duan Rong did not stay here for long. He put the body of the leader tail lion into a cloth bag and carried it on his back. He then shuttled away in the darkness.
The soul illusion firefly and the soul detection were the confidence that Duan Rong dared to enter this dark forest alone.
Once these Yuan beasts were hit by the soul illusion of fireflies, they could only be slaughtered by them. Moreover, Duan Rong had the means of artistic conception blade light, which could pierce Yuan beasts that were far more powerful than him.

Therefore, for him, it was not difficult to enter the Dark Forest alone and capture the Yuan Beast as long as he was careful.
Of course, there were many different species in the Dark Forest, which were difficult to count, and there were still many indescribable dangers. Without Fan Hongjiao and the others by his side, Duan Rong did not dare to stay for long. Since he had caught a head of the tail lion, he was ready to leave immediately.
Under the cover of his divine sense, Duan Rong avoided many dangers and jumped into the grass of Qingguang grass near the falling point.
The moment he jumped into the grass, he finally exhaled a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
When he arrived in the area of Qingguang grass, it was basically much safer, but Duan Rong's divine sense was still detecting the surrounding situation. Qingguang grass could only restrict Yuan Beasts, but not fellow disciples.
For Duan Rong, this head of the tail lion was only a month's cultivation resource, but for ordinary disciples in the sect, it was half a year's cultivation resource. Moreover, Duan Rong was alone, and his body skills showed that his realm was not high. Therefore, for Duan Rong, his fellow disciples were the most dangerous.
Duan Rong had just walked for a while in the Qingguang Grass with Muwei Ni on his back, when he suddenly frowned, and moved again, as fast as a ghost, and jumped out of this area and hid in a bush not far away.
He had just finished hiding when he saw several figures suddenly sliding down from the iron chains on the cliff at the end of the Qingguang Grass.
After falling into the grass, they just thought about it briefly, and then they jumped into the dark forest in a certain direction.
Duan Rong's spiritual sense detected that those people had gone far away, so he jumped out of the bushes and walked quickly towards the cliff.
Those people just now should be the inner disciples under the name of the Internal History Department. However, Duan Rong had just come to Yunfu Peak and did not know them.
Duan Rong came to the cliff and walked past the iron chains that the inner disciples had just slid down and were still shaking slightly.
Although these inner disciples also fell from this falling point. However, the iron chains for these direct disciples to slide down were special.
Duan Rong walked to the iron chains he slid down, tied the cloth bag on his back to his body, and then pulled a chain with both hands, climbing up, and soon his figure disappeared into the darkness.
Although the size of this leader, the tail lion, was not small, it was far inferior to the two-legged wild python and the blue-eyed giant lizard last time.
But even so, when Duan Rong climbed out of the underground crack, he was already exhausted and out of breath. He collapsed on the ground, almost like Wang Yue last time.
"This thing... This climb is really life-threatening!?"
Duan Rong panted for a long time before struggling to get up in the dark. He took out a fire starter and lit a torch. There was a constant wind blowing out of the underground crack, blowing the torch in his hand, whirring.
The last time he slipped, Duan Rong had used his spiritual sense to detect the underground crack. That time, he found that the length of the underground crack was far beyond the range of his spiritual sense.
At this moment, the stone chamber he was in only occupied a very short section of the underground crack. There should be a wide space extending to both sides. And those inner disciples who were under the name of the Internal History Department obviously slipped into the dark forest from other locations.
Duan Rong carried the cloth bag and walked out of the stone chamber, passed through the corridor, and went out of the stone door, and came to the place where the old man who was sitting in meditation was guarding.
The old man didn't even open his eyes. After Duan Rong walked out, he just bowed to him slightly and turned to walk out.
At this time, the old man who was sitting cross-legged in the corner suddenly opened his eyes. He saw a furry thing hanging out of the cloth bag on Duan Rong's back.
There was a closed eye on the drooping furry thing.
The old man's heart jumped. "Muwei Ni?!"
He had penetrated this kid's Dantian with his spiritual sense before, but he had just advanced to the Yuanqi realm a few days ago.
He not only entered the dark forest alone, but also hunted a Muwei Ni up.
This kid is quite interesting!
The old man's cold eyes suddenly flashed with interest, and the next moment he used his spiritual sense to penetrate Duan Rong's Dantian again.
Duan Rong sensed the moment a powerful spiritual sense penetrated the Dantian, but he left as usual, with no abnormality in his figure and steps.
The old man's face twisted into a ball in an instant, and his expression became very wonderful.
"How is this possible?! Was it a month ago, did I see it wrong? How could it be that in just one month, he was almost breaking through the first level of the Yuanqi realm?"
What speed is this? I couldn't have such a speed back then?
No! I'm afraid Chu Qiushan and Gu Daoling couldn't have such a speed either.
I must have seen it wrong last time. Maybe I sat in meditation for too long and remembered the time wrong?
At this moment, this usually cold and taciturn old man, after Duan Rong left, was alone in the stone chamber, and fell into deep self-doubt...
