Chapter 218 Deep Well ([-])

The hand protruding from the crack of the stone grabbed Yu Ling's hair and kept pulling it, but Yu Ling screamed in fright.

Jiang Yuan turned around in surprise:

"After being in contact with ghosts for so long, are you still afraid?"

Yu Ling cried out in horror:
"Young master! Help me!"

Jiang Yuan reached back helplessly, grabbed the wrist of the twisted arm, and separated the fingers that were holding Yu Ling's hair one by one.

Then Jiang Yuan grasped that arm tightly and pulled it back violently.

The arm was immediately withdrawn from the crack in the stone, and by the light of the fire, it was discovered that it was a ghost whose whole body consisted of only one arm.

There are eyes on the five fingers of the ghost, and a mouth full of fangs like steel needles on the palm.

Jiang Yuan shook the ghost in Yu Ling's hand angrily:
"See, it's just a weak ghost, its strength is far behind Aunt Hong's, but it can actually scare you so much. You are really useless!"

It wasn't until her arms left her hair that Yu Ling calmed down a little:
"Sir, I'm sorry."

"Don't always apologize to me!" Jiang Yuan said annoyedly, "Don't you want to be brave yourself? Then you have to work hard to prove yourself."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan opened his mouth, stuffed the ghost with the arm into his mouth and ate it mouthful.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuan continued to crawl forward along the pothole.

Yu Ling blamed herself more and more, the ghost with that arm could not harm her, but in this gloomy environment just now, she was so frightened that even the slightest sign of trouble made her feel frightened.

Although she spent two nights with the demons, Aunt Hong's gang of demons were raised by the young master, so Yu Ling was not very afraid of them.

But now, the ghosts here, the darkness here, and the cramped and oppressive place here still make Yu Ling unable to adapt.

But soon she gritted her teeth:

"I will definitely work hard! I will never let you down again!"

Immediately, Yu Ling also settled down, and followed Jiang Yuan and crawled forward.

The low mine tunnel was not very long, and it didn't take long for the two of them to climb out.

Since there was also a lot of water in the low mine tunnel, the two of them were muddy at this time.

Fortunately, the torches in both hands were not extinguished.

What appeared in front of me was a stone chamber, but the stone chamber had two dark exits, one on the left and one on the right, which were two deep and dark mine tunnels.

Looking at the two options, Jiang Yuan said:
"Let's go one by one and explore separately."

When Yu Ling thought of being in this kind of mine tunnel by herself, she couldn't help but say:

"Sir, I."

Jiang Yuan turned around:
"Don't you dare?"

Yu Ling gritted her teeth and shook her head vigorously:

"I dare!"

Jiang Yuan smiled, and took out the fragments of the evil spirit mirror from his arms:
"Remember, this is what I'm looking for. One more thing, don't look in the mirror!"

It is not clear whether the evil spirit mirror can capture Yu Ling's soul, Jiang Yuan, so I can only remind him.

Yu Ling stared at the back of the evil spirit mirror for a while, remembering its characteristics.

Jiang Yuan chose a mine at random and was about to step in, but stopped before entering.

If you want Yu Ling to be loyal to you, should you be gentle and not too inhumane?
So he turned back and said:
"Yu Ling, if you are in danger, don't force it. Run to my side, and I will help you."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan bent down and got into the mine tunnel, and the light from the torch gradually faded away.

Hearing Jiang Yuan's last words, Yu Ling only felt warmth in her heart.

For a moment, she seemed to be no longer as scared as before.

Yu Ling got into another alleyway and gradually moved forward towards the depth.

She walked very slowly, observing the surroundings very carefully, for fear of missing something that the young master needed.

Although she didn't know what the young master wanted for something that looked like a shard of a crystal mirror, she knew that it was the young master's order, and she had to do it well.

The mine road made Yu Ling have to keep walking forward, the most terrible thing was that there was constant seepage and dripping on the mine.

The water droplets fell on the torch, making a sizzling sound, which made the torch dim.

Yu Ling turned pale with fright, and hurriedly and carefully protected the torch.

Although she was very careful, the torch was extinguished when she passed a water seepage that seriously formed a water curtain.

The darkness suddenly rushed towards Yu Ling from all directions.

"It's so dark! I can't see!"

Yu Ling panicked.

She was so frightened that she fumbled around and ran wildly. After she fell, she couldn't tell which way was coming from and which way was going.

Fear welled up in her heart. At this time, she began to be afraid and wanted to cry.

"No! I can't be afraid, I don't want to cry again! I can't let you down!"

She began to calm herself down and think about countermeasures.

She quickly recalled that her own special eyes were fully capable of night vision.Even in the deep mine tunnel, the darkness couldn't stop her from seeing.

So she opened her tightly closed eyes, the narrow pupils glowing slightly blue.

The thick stone walls greatly hindered her vision, making her unable to see too far, but she was no longer afraid of the dark.

"It's just darker, it's no big deal. I'm strong, I can't be afraid of the dark!"

Yu Ling cheered herself up, she quickly identified the way out, and started to move forward.

The line of sight at this time is far clearer than when holding a torch.

Yu Ling could clearly see the cracks in the rocks, the shallow drains on both sides of the mine, the moss on the rock walls, and even some blackened blood.

Her senses have also become more sensitive, she can clearly capture the surrounding smells and the flow of air.

She even felt a faint heat source through the stone wall, which became farther and farther behind the stone wall and became more and more blurred.

She knew that it was Jiang Yuan, and feeling that Jiang Yuan was still moving smoothly, Yu Ling knew that he was not in danger, and felt relieved.

Yu Ling began to realize that she had fully adapted to lighting without a torch. Only at this time did she realize that her senses had become so sensitive, and the world seemed to have changed in her eyes.

She began to like this feeling, and at the same time became more and more grateful to Jiang Yuan.

If Jiang Yuan hadn't forced her to walk alone in the mine, she would never have discovered her state, and would always be that cowardly little girl who could only rely on others.

Along the way, Yu Ling also began to feel that it was not as difficult as imagined.

The terrain of the mine tunnel began to become lower and lower, forming an inclined shaft all the way down, as if it could lead to the depths of the ground.

After being able to see things in the dark, Yu Ling no longer had the fear of facing the unknown, and she walked down the inclined shaft without hesitation.

The slope was gentle at the beginning, but became steeper and steeper at the end.

There was originally a rope in the inclined well for people to stabilize their body, but it was broken for some reason, and only a small piece was still fixed at the mouth of the well.

But it makes no difference to Yu Ling whether there is a rope or not.

Although her hands looked white and tender, they were extremely strong and extremely tough.

Her hands are like hooks, able to firmly grasp the rock wall of the slope, so that Yu Ling can easily go down the slope.

I don't know how long I have been climbing down the inclined shaft, but the black water has submerged the bottom of the inclined shaft.

"No way?"

Yu Ling focused her eyes on the black stagnant water.

Her vision quickly penetrated the surface, saw some rusty digging implements at the bottom, and then saw a cave in the water.

It can be seen that this was originally an abandoned mine tunnel due to water accumulation, but there are traces of newly excavated near the cave.

Those excavation marks were sharp and neat, as if they were dug out by some kind of animal with its claws.

There are more places that Yu Ling cannot reach, so she can only explore them by herself.

Yu Ling took a deep breath, and then got into the cold stagnant water.

In the water, she quickly discovered another potential of her own, which is nimble and brisk when swimming, as agile as a fish.

She quickly came outside the cave in the water and looked inside for a while.

Amidst the surging water, a mass of black hair floated out from the cave that could be drilled into by one person.

In the rippling water, the hair looks like a living black snake, slowly wriggling and spreading in the water.

Yu Ling hesitated for a moment, she brushed away the clump of hair with her hands, and then got into the cave.

The excavation in the cave was uneven and very narrow, and many sharp points even scratched the deerskin jacket on Yu Ling's body.

After swimming in the lengthy cave for an unknown amount of time, a bend suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

Just as Yu Ling turned the corner, a pale and terrifying face suddenly appeared in front of her.

The face was wrapped in a mass of jet black hair, the eyes and mouth were wide open.

Yu Ling's scalp was numb with fright, and she immediately punched that face.

The huge force smashed the face, and the white and red slurry spread in the water.

It turned out to be nothing more than a dead body.

There seems to be a longer distance behind the dead body. After being punched, the dead body was beaten and drifted towards the back, and then was caught in the narrow hole again.

The cave was so narrow that Yu Ling couldn't get around the dead body at all.

She could only swim ahead, pushing the dead body's face and moving on.

On the rotten face of the dead body, red and white slurry continued to permeate in the water, which made Yu Ling feel so sick that she wanted to spit it out.

After swimming for a while, the water flow suddenly became more intense, and the surrounding space suddenly became larger.

After leaving the underwater cave, they came to an underground river.

Yu Ling looked around with her eyes, and she found an empty grotto around her.

She hurriedly pushed the dead body away, and then swam towards the bank of the underground river.

After swimming ashore, Yu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, and took a deep breath.

She didn't need too much air, but the oppressive feeling at the bottom of the water just now gave her the illusion that she was about to suffocate.

She had a new understanding of herself, and she never thought that she could really go all the way, which was completely unimaginable before.

She thought of Jiang Yuan again, and her heart was full of warmth and gratitude.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded:
"After Ming Snake's bloodline, a person who serves evil spirits, a body cursed with sin, why do you come here?"

The voice is dull and majestic, and the momentum is compelling.
