Chapter 1341: Predicament Under the Abyss

Predicament Under the Abyss

"?"

Sun Bumian was stunned, "He just jumped like that? Isn't he afraid of falling to his death?"

Before Sun Bumian's voice fell, he saw Jian Changsheng twist his body in midair and grab toward the vertical cliff face with one hand. His five fingers dug directly into the hard rock like vajra. As bursts of faint thunder rang out from his fingertips, his falling speed instantly slowed and became controllable.

"... Fine, I worried too much."

With the physical quality of [Asura], let alone using his hand to slow down, even if he really fell straight down from here, it might not necessarily kill him.

But Sun Bumian wasn't Jian Changsheng. If he really fell from here, he'd probably turn into meat paste. Fortunately, he had a more convenient method... With a step, Sun Bumian stepped directly on the void and walked down toward the abyss.

After walking a good few steps, as if realizing something, he turned his head to look above the cliff...

Jiang Xiaohua was standing there awkwardly, at a loss for what to do.

"Don't!!" Sun Bumian hurriedly called a stop, "You're too heavy. If you really jump down, that commotion will probably startle the entire Ghost Mockery Abyss into a stress response..."

Jiang Xiaohua looked at Sun Bumian eagerly.

"... Sigh, fine."

Sun Bumian took off the Awakened Lion pendant on his wrist. With a light shake, it turned back into that lifelike Awakened Lion Head-dress. With a point of his finger, a miniature Awakened Lion burned with colorful flames and carried Jiang Xiaohua on its back.

One person and one lion all stepped on Cloud Steps, rapidly descending deep toward the bottom of the abyss.

Rustle rustle——

As Jian Changsheng supported his body with one hand and slid down the inner wall of the abyss, his figure was gradually swallowed by the darkness. He had completely lost the concept of distance and time.

The trio didn't know how deep they had descended. The abyss before their eyes was like a bottomless pit, so dead silent that only the rustling sound of falling gravel remained...

At the same time,

Geckos perching on the cliffs quietly opened their eyes one by one.

They were pitch-black all over, crawling on the already dark abyss cliffs, fundamentally invisible to the naked eye. They turned their heads in unison and looked down along the cliff where the rustling sound came from, pairs of eyes in the dark filled with vigilance.

These geckos immediately moved. A portion followed those rustling sounds and moved down the abyss, while a portion directly turned their heads and crawled toward the bottom, as if going to report the news.

"We've been discovered."

Jian Changsheng swept a keen glance into the darkness and spoke in a deep voice.

"With this infiltration method of ours, it would be weird if we weren't discovered, right?" Sun Bumian looked at the Awakened Lion burning with colorful flames in the darkness and shrugged, "But there's no helping it. Without using some methods, we really couldn't come down this Ghost Mockery Abyss..."

Logically speaking, with Jiang Xiaohua's Aura shielding, the trio could actually come and go freely in the Gray World, provided that the three of them didn't actively leak their Aura. However, the Ghost Mockery Abyss was different from other Calamity territories. Perhaps Jian Changsheng could rely on his terrifying physical quality to climb down barehanded, but Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua couldn't do it. Being targeted by the Calamities of the Ghost Mockery Abyss was also something that couldn't be helped.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, this is Hearts' territory, nothing much should happen."

Jian Changsheng was incomparably calm instead.

The trio didn't know how long they had descended in the darkness before some faint light finally appeared around them. Those firefly-like spots of light intertwined into an underground dim kingdom, presenting itself bit by bit before the trio's eyes.

"It's quite spectacular." Sun Bumian looked at the dim bug den stretching to the end of his vision and couldn't help but speak.

The paws of the Awakened Lion landed on the ground at the bottom of the abyss. Jiang Xiaohua and Sun Bumian came down one after another. Jian Changsheng leaped down lightly directly from the cliff on the side, then violently shook his flushed and swollen five fingers, grinning in pain:

"This is too deep... My fingers were almost ground away."

Sun Bumian was about to say something when a sudden thunderclap rang out from the distant dim bug den!

Boom——!!

Immediately after, a mountain-like gigantic shadow soared into the sky, carrying suffocating terrifying Oppressive Aura, and plummeted straight toward the trio!

"Careful!!" Jian Changsheng shouted loudly, and the trio scattered in different directions without hesitation!

Boom——!!!

The gigantic shadow smashed onto the earth, the terrifying impact force directly shaking out cobweb-like cracks on the ground. The sweeping shockwaves rolled like ocean waves, shaking Jian Changsheng's trio until their figures swayed, crashing heavily against the surrounding cliffs.

It wasn't until this moment that Jian Changsheng's trio clearly saw that towering massive outline...

That was a toad.

"Eighth-Tier Calamity??" Sun Bumian sensed the other party's Aura, his face incomparably ugly.

They had just come down the Ghost Mockery Abyss and bumped into an Eighth-Tier Calamity. This luck was truly terrible to the extreme!

With the movement of the firefly-like light spots, the trio finally saw clearly that besides the Toad Poison Chief before their eyes, a massive dense swarm of Poisonous Insects had already surrounded this place. Venomous snakes, centipedes, scorpions, toads... like a pitch-black tide.

Jiang Xiaohua subconsciously took half a step back and bumped into the hard cliff. He looked up and found countless gecko eyes emitting a faint glow in the darkness.

They had already been surrounded.

These Calamities of the Ghost Mockery Abyss seemed to have not seen humans for a long time. Their eyes, fully revealing fierce glints, revealed excitement. At the same time, the chin of that mountain-like Toad Poison Chief abruptly bulged. In the next moment, an ear-splitting loud noise exploded beside the trio's ears!

"Croak——!!"

"We are here to find Chen Ling!! We want to see your Great King!" Seeing the situation was bad, Sun Bumian shouted immediately.

"Croak——!!!"

"What did it say?!" Sun Bumian turned his head and asked Jian Changsheng.

Jian Changsheng's eyes widened, "What's the fucking use of asking me! I'm not a toad! I don't understand either!!"

"Croak——!!!!"

With an order from the toad, the surrounding Poisonous Insects swarmed and charged toward the trio!

Seeing this, Jian Changsheng's trio truly had no other way. They immediately gathered toward the center back to back, resisting the Poisonous Insect attacks coming from all directions.

But there were truly too many Calamities in the Ghost Mockery Abyss, and each one was lean and powerful. If they really let them consume them like this, things would be really troublesome... Jian Changsheng's peripheral vision kept staring at the depths of the Ghost Mockery Abyss, unable to resist roaring directly:

"Hearts!!! It's us!!! Quickly tell this bunch of Poisonous Insects to stop!!!"

Jian Changsheng's voice echoed within the abyss.

The Underground Palace remained dead silent.

Jian Changsheng's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley!

"This is bad, could that guy Hearts really be in trouble?!" Jian Changsheng muttered to himself.

"Could it be that he's not in the Ghost Mockery Abyss?" Jiang Xiaohua suddenly asked.

"Isn't he the king of the Ghost Mockery Abyss? If he doesn't stay in the Ghost Mockery Abyss, where else can he go?"

"I don't know where else he can go... I only know that if we don't think of a way soon, we'll all be going to the western heaven!" Sun Bumian kicked away a shadow venomous snake, his face incomparably ugly.
