Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 28: Traveling towards the abyss

Su Yun's mind was still rotating like usual, with the yellow clock in his mind. The map in his mind was constantly changing directions. Suddenly, his spirit was lifted, and he said in a deep voice, "Found it! Let's continue!"

Just then, his ears buzzed, and a piercing pain like a needle stabbed into his mind!

The buzzing lasted for a moment before disappearing, but this brief pain had already made Su Yun break out in a cold sweat, his clothes soaked with sweat.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't hear his own voice!

There was only pure silence around him, without any sound!

"The powerful aura from the Dragon Burial Tomb oppresses our blood and qi, first depriving us of our vision, and now our hearing!"

Su Yun steadied himself. "The next to be deprived is probably our touch, taste, smell, and perception. If all six senses are deprived..."

He suddenly bit his lip, and the blood in his mouth carried a taste of blood and sweetness. The pain told him that his sense of taste, touch, smell, and perception were still there.

"Hua Er and the others felt someone touching the back of their heads. This is an illusion caused by the pressure on their touch, not some ghost touching us in the dark!"

Su Yun took out the Immortal Binding Rope and quickly tied up Hua Hu, thinking to himself, "My yellow clock is definitely not wrong, and the sun has not yet set! We still have time to get out!"

Hua Hu struggled, and Su Yun gestured anxiously before Hua Hu finally stopped struggling.

Su Yun also tied up Qing Qiuyue. She had lost her sense of touch and couldn't feel herself being tied up.

Without touch, hearing, or sight, she was at the mercy of others.

"The reason we have the illusion of being touched is that the aura from the Dragon Burial Tomb is pressing on our nerves, initially blocking our sense of touch."

Su Yun also felt something touching him, and his sense of touch seemed to be getting more sensitive. However, this was just an illusion, and his sense of touch was slowly fading.

More cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he groped around and found Li Xiaofan. He tied him up, and then his sense of touch was lost.

"Hu Buping!"

Su Yun shouted, unable to hear any sound. He groped around but couldn't feel anything!

"Blood and qi! Yes, I can still feel Buping's blood and qi!"

Su Yun desperately activated the Honglu Transformations, using all his blood and qi to sense his surroundings. Finally, figures appeared in his sense of "vision" in the darkness.

Su Yun found Hu Buping and reached out to grab him, but he couldn't feel whether he had caught him or not.

He could only rely on his binding experience and his sense of blood and qi to tie up Hu Buping.

After doing all this, he tied the four fox demons behind his back and continued forward.

"I can no longer feel my legs, nor my hands. The taste of blood in my mouth is also getting fainter."

Su Yun licked the wound on his lip. He could no longer find where he had bitten himself.

His sense of taste and smell had been completely deprived by the pressure on his blood and qi.With all his senses lost, he felt like a corpse walking in the unknown.

He didn't even know if he was going uphill or downhill, if he was walking on the edge of a cliff, or if he was walking into the mouth of a demon!

"I must get out of the Zong Long Tomb before I lose my senses, or it will be all over."

Su Yun could no longer feel his body, and his senses were slowly fading away. He could only mechanically move his legs in the rotation of the Huang Zhong, following the geography in his mind, and constantly moving forward to return to the cliff.

This was an endless darkness, with only the Huang Zhong and the geography map in his mind still shining. Only his sense of the aura of Hua Hu and other fox demons told him that they were still alive.

Su Yun continued to move forward for an unknown amount of time, and the blood of Hua Hu and others disappeared from his mind.

His senses became increasingly faint.

Su Yun continued to move forward: "There is still time, it's not dark yet. Whatever that creature is, it cannot come out while it's still light!"

With his last willpower, he told his body to keep moving forward. Although he could not feel his legs, he believed that his body would continue to move forward under the control of his consciousness.

After a long time, Su Yun stopped. The Huang Zhong and the geography map in his mind told him that there was a cliff ahead!

He had walked out of the Zong Long Tomb!

"Why?"

Su Yun was filled with fear, completely overwhelmed by the immense terror in his heart. He was like a child who had discovered that he was trapped in a small "room" again: "I have walked out of the Zong Long Tomb, why am I still losing my senses? Could it be that I haven't moved at all? Am I still in the Zong Long Tomb?"

He almost collapsed, and his last willpower was crumbling.

At this moment, the blood of Hua Hu and others appeared in his "vision."

Su Yun was stunned. Then he felt the bloody taste in his mouth, the pain in his lips, and his body slowly regained its senses. The pure silence in his ears gradually disappeared, and he faintly heard the sound of the funeral horns in Niu Jia Village, playing the tune of "Hundreds of Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix."

He felt the weight on his back and the sensation in his legs.

His fear turned into hot tears, streaming down his cheeks.

He trembled and extended his left foot to test the ground. There was nothing in front of him but emptiness.

That was the cliff, exactly the same as the geography map in his mind!

Su Yun stood at the edge of the cliff, tears streaming down his face, but laughing heartily.

The fox demons on his back were awakened by his laughter. Their sixth sense was restored, and they saw Su Yun carrying them tightly bound, standing at the edge of the cliff, with the abyss below.

One step forward, and they would be smashed into pieces!

The four fox demons didn't dare to move.

Suddenly, Su Yun took a step forward and walked along the edge of the cliff, with Hua Hu and the others terrified. Hu Buping even let out a piercing scream. This time, no one covered his mouth.

However, Su Yun's steps remained as steady as Mount Tai, and he was always only one step away from the abyss.Walking on the edge of the abyss, as if walking on flat ground.

Unconsciously, his temperament became more stable.

He walked back and forth twice before stopping and placing the four foxes on his back down, and untied the immortal rope.

The four fox demons were weak and lying on the edge of the cliff, breathing heavily.

The last rays of the setting sun shone on the boy's face, warm and dispelling the coldness of the Dragon Burial Tomb.

The sky darkened as the sun set.

Night arrived.

The melodious dragon chant came from the Dragon Burial Tomb, clear and long, with a sense of loneliness that seemed to be hidden in the long years, making people feel melancholy.

The dragon chant made people feel as if they saw a real dragon wandering alone in the starry sky, crossing endless journeys from one planet to another, searching for its partner.

Su Yun was about to throw the immortal rope to leave this place when he heard the dragon chant and couldn't help but tremble slightly. "This sound... is it the spirit of a dragon in the valley, Second Brother?"

Hua Hu stood up and looked into the valley. It was not yet dark, and only a green dragon emitting a dim light was flying in the air, slowly circling around its own tomb, shuttling through the forest.

The dragon spirit flew and chanted, seemingly telling the loneliness of traveling across the starry sky.

"It's that dragon ghost."

Hua Hu gritted her teeth and said, "It should be this thing that oppressed us and made us lose six senses, almost dying in the Dragon Burial Tomb."

"That's strange."

Su Yun frowned, his face strange, murmured, "If the dragon spirit is still in the valley, then who did Jiao Shu'Ao, who took the whole village to eat, take away?"

Hua Hu woke up and stared wide-eyed, mouth agape.

The other three little foxes each climbed up and saw the horror in each other's eyes.

Yes, who did Jiao Shu'Ao take away?

The dragon spirit of the divine dragon was still wandering around its own bones in the valley, so the rustling sound beside Jiao Shu'Ao was definitely not the spiritual nature of the dragon.

In this valley, besides the dragon's spiritual nature, there was only one other thing!

"The foreign object that fell with the divine dragon!"

Hu Buping blurted out, shouting, "Jiao Shu'Ao thought he took away the dragon's spiritual nature, but he didn't know he took away that foreign object!"
