Chaos God's Nest
Chapter 316: Strange Sounds at Midnight
The northern part of Tianhong Star is extremely cold. Looking around, there is no vegetation or birds or animals. It is all white. It gives people the feeling that they have come to a desert made of ice and snow.
From Gu Qinghan, Yan Xiaohuang learned that it snows heavily here all year round, so the climate is relatively extreme. There are few mortal spirits living here, so it can be said that it is deserted.
In the seemingly endless snow desert, Yan Xiaohuang and his companions searched aimlessly for a long time before they finally saw a little bit of faint light in front of them. When they got closer, they found that it was actually a house.
It seemed that the two of them had never stopped on the way, so after seeing this family, they actually wanted to take a break here.
I walked up and knocked on the gate. When it opened, an old lady with white hair appeared.
"Hello, old man! We both came from far away and would like to rest here for one night. Is that okay?" Yan Xiaohuang asked.
Hearing this, the old woman looked Yan Xiaohuang and the other two up and down, and then slowly said: "In that case, then you can come in!"
"Thank you, old man!"
After clasping his fists and expressing his gratitude, Yan Xiaohuang followed the old woman into the courtyard. As for Gu Qinghan, he followed closely behind.
Although it was extremely cold outside, it was like spring all year round inside the house in the courtyard. Yan Xiaohuang and his companions followed the old woman into the guest room. The first thing that caught their eyes was a huge stove with a blazing fire, which made crackling sounds from the burning firewood from time to time.
After leading Yan Xiaohuang and the other two into the guest room, the old woman turned around and said slowly, "Excuse me, you two! I only have one guest room! Since you two are only staying here for one night, just make do with it!"
Hearing this, the two couldn't help but look at each other, and then nodded in agreement.
What followed was a long night. The two of them sat cross-legged around the fire with their eyes closed, each silently entering a state of cultivation.
Because neither of them spoke, the room was also quiet. Who would have thought that in the second half of the night, they suddenly heard bursts of strange noises coming from outside the yard. No one knew what was making them, but it sounded like the thumping of a muffled drum.
Then Yan Xiaohuang opened his eyes and probed outside with his powerful spiritual sense, but unfortunately, he did not find any clues.
"Did you hear any sound?" Yan Xiaohuang couldn't help but ask Gu Qinghan who was standing opposite the stove.
"Ok!"
Gu Qinghan nodded. Like Yan Xiaohuang, she had also heard bursts of strange noises, as if someone was beating a heavy drum. Every time it came, it made people tremble with fear.
Knowing that this matter must be strange, the two of them did not hesitate at all and walked out of the house quickly. After coming to the outside of the yard, they first jumped up and stood on the eaves, and then looked in the direction where the strange sound came from.
From the depths of the endless snowfield, there was a pillar of blood-red light rising into the sky, giving people a mysterious and weird feeling. As for the thudding sound, it was coming from there.
Seeing this, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other, and then they started to rush towards the direction of the blood-red light column at the same time.
It was snowing heavily, and the two of them flew side by side against the snow. When they gradually approached the blood-red light column, for some reason, they both felt an inexplicable panic in their hearts. It was as if there was an endless abyss in front of them staring at them, which made people feel inexplicably creepy.
At the same time, the strange sound from before was heard again.
Boom boom boom!
The sound became louder and louder. Every time it came, people couldn't help but feel as if their heart had stopped beating, as if all the blood in their body was about to burst. It was extremely uncomfortable.
"hiss!"
Yan Xiaohuang couldn't help but grimace in shock at the strange sound, wondering what on earth made this sound and how it could have such a terrifying power.
Gu Qinghan was not feeling well either. Although her physique was also very special, being a rare extremely icy holy body in ancient and modern times, she was still slightly inferior to Yan Xiaohuang who was blessed with two immortal bodies. Therefore, her face was pale at the moment, but she still gritted her teeth and continued to fly forward.
It was not until the two reached the nearest end of the blood-red light column that they were shocked to discover that this was actually a huge rift valley that was hundreds of miles long, stretching across the snowfield. It looked like it had only appeared not long ago. As for the so-called red light column, it was shining from under the rift valley. Against the backdrop of the white snowfield, it looked like a blood-red light column rising straight into the sky from a distance.
"Strange! This rift was not seen during the day, so how come it suddenly appeared at night?" Yan Xiaohuang scratched his head and said in confusion.
"My physique is very special, especially in an extremely cold area like the North. All my abilities can be greatly enhanced. But even so, I still felt a heart-pounding energy under this rift, which is enough to show that there must be some unknown creature or thing underneath!" Gu Qinghan said with a frown.
"Oh? Really? In that case, I'll have to go down and take a look!" Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaohuang immediately became interested and rolled up his sleeves, indicating that he would go down and take a look.
Hearing Yan Xiaohuang say this, Gu Qinghan was stunned at first, and then hurriedly said: "Oh! I said, how come you don't understand what others are saying? I mean, it's very dangerous down there, so don't go there easily!"
"hey-hey!"
Yan Xiaohuang smiled and replied, "Have you ever heard that wealth and honor can only be achieved through risk? Besides, now that you are here, how can you feel at ease if you don't take a look?"
"you!"
Gu Qinghan was speechless. Looking at Yan Xiaohuang in front of her, she really didn't know what to say. In short, the other party's thought process was very strange, and she still couldn't figure it out.
"Then go ahead if you want to! I won't go anyway!" She said this and returned to her usual cold attitude. Then she snorted coldly and turned to look in another direction, no longer paying attention to Yan Xiaohuang.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Yan Xiaohuang also smiled, and then without saying anything, he jumped into the nameless rift below.
At the same time, after discovering that Yan Xiaohuang actually chose to jump in, Gu Qinghan frowned. Although she also wanted to follow Yan Xiaohuang in, her intuition told her that there was a high possibility of danger hidden in it.
"In that case, I'll just stay outside and watch over him!" Thinking of this, she said to herself.
Who would have thought that the next second, she clearly heard Yan Xiaohuang's scream coming from the bottom of the rift. At that moment, her expression changed drastically, and then she jumped into the rift without thinking.
This nameless rift was neither too shallow nor too deep. After falling for dozens of breaths, she finally reached the bottom of the rift.
The terrain at the bottom of the valley was very flat, and there was nothing else around except for a dark cave entrance on the valley wall not far ahead, which was quite conspicuous. Yan Xiaohuang was standing in front of the cave entrance, looking inside.
At this moment, seeing that Gu Qinghan had also followed, Yan Xiaohuang couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Huh? Didn't you want to come down? Why did you follow me?"
"I..."
Hearing this, Gu Qinghan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was being played by Yan Xiaohuang in front of him. He blushed and said angrily: "You bad guy, how dare you play tricks on me! Obviously nothing happened, why did you scream like that just now?"
"hey-hey!"
Yan Xiaohuang smiled, and then pretended to be calm and explained: "Oh! You mean that! I just wanted to try out the echo effect in this rift valley!"
After saying that, Yan Xiaohuang's face showed a look of sudden enlightenment. He then looked at Gu Qinghan and asked in surprise, "Why? Are you worried that I might have encountered something unexpected at the bottom of the valley? Oh my God! You actually care about me so much! I am so touched!"
"you!"
Hearing this, Gu Qinghan's face couldn't help but turn redder, and then he pretended to be evil and glared at Yan Xiaohuang fiercely, and said in a somewhat unclear voice: "You...you don't think too much of yourself! Who...who is worried about you! It's just that I suddenly thought of coming down to take a look, it's nothing serious!"
"hey-hey!"
Yan Xiaohuang smiled but said nothing, and did not expose the other party's lies.
Gu Qinghan probably usually has a stern face, and it's rare to see her like a little girl. This way, it's a bit fun.
At the same time, as the two were talking, they suddenly heard the same sound coming from the rift valley again.
Boom boom boom!
The sound this time was obviously stronger than before. Yan Xiaohuang's eardrums were about to burst and his face turned pale. In response, he quickly circulated the true energy in his body to isolate himself from the sound.
Gu Qinghan did the same. The moment the voice came, she circulated the spiritual energy around her body and isolated herself from the strange voice.
Seeing that the strange sound was getting stronger this time, Yan Xiaohuang became more and more curious. He was a non-believer. The less he understood some things, the more uncomfortable he felt. It was like a cat's claws constantly scratching him, making him itchy.
Yan Xiaohuang's expression became serious. He pointed at the dark cave in front of him and said to Gu Qinghan, "I want to go in and take a look! You can come with me, or you can choose to wait for me here!"
Hearing this, Gu Qinghan thought for a moment, then said, "Since we're here, let's go in and take a look together!"
At that moment, the two of them looked at each other, and then Yan Xiaohuang led the way and Gu Qinghan followed behind, and they slowly walked into the dark cave.
The cave was very deep and dark. Yan Xiaohuang used fire to light the way and found that it was actually a naturally formed passage, which meant that no one had ever been here before.
The two of them walked slowly along the corridor. Not knowing what dangers lay ahead, they did not dare to walk too fast. It was not until a long time later that they saw a little light ahead.
And when the two of them completely walked out of the corridor, they were stunned by the scene before them.
