Chapter 1213: Chapter 1213: The Floating Stone Path

"Senior Brother Lin Hao, what’s that sound up ahead? It’s so frightening!" Pure Yang Feifei, who hadn’t really fallen asleep, was the quickest to react to the noise.

Lin Hao rubbed his eyes, chuckled wryly, and said, "I’m not sure either, probably something that’s been there for too long falling down. So when we pass through later, we need to be extra careful not to get hit, that would be troublesome."

"Alright, everyone should be well-rested now, let’s get ready to set off." Pure Yang Feifei said.

Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting nodded, and the two junior disciples naturally didn’t have any objections, so the six of them began their journey again. They headed towards the depths of the tunnel.

Soon, they reached the end of the tunnel, and what appeared before them was a suspended stone road.

To put it simply, the suspended stone road was maintained by an anti-gravity effect from the Earth’s core, presumably because the stones here contained some substance that made them immune to gravity, allowing them to float mid-air.

There was only one road to the opposite side, which was this suspended stone road, and it was about fifty meters away. The roof of the cave was low, one could almost touch it by stretching out a hand.

Beneath their feet was an unfathomable abyss, and occasionally, stones would fall from the cave ceiling or the suspended stone road into the abyss, echoing loudly.

At this moment, everyone realized that the earlier sound had originated from here.

Chen Tianlong looked at the pitch-black abyss and the suspended stone road, frowning. Although they were all skilled, the danger was clearly present.

Chen Tianlong took the lead and stepped forward first.

The path was smooth, but just as he reached the center of the abyss, Chen Tianlong suddenly felt something was wrong, as his body was being pulled downward by a powerful force.

Chen Tianlong felt alarmed, quickly turned back, but it was too late. The Dragon Slayer Sword was being pulled down, and it looked like it was about to fall.

Chen Tianlong quickly strapped the Dragon Slayer Sword to his back, gripped the rock with both hands, and leaped up.

Wu Mengting was startled when she saw this and rushed to the edge of the abyss, shouting, "Chen Tianlong, what’s wrong with you, don’t scare me!"

But just as Wu Mengting was about to cry in fear, she suddenly saw a figure flash up—it was Chen Tianlong, gasping for breath with lingering fear.

"Phew."

Chen Tianlong exhaled deeply and said, "Anyone with weapons, give them to me. Later we’ll have to rely on stepping on those floating rocks to get across."

The others nodded, not quite sure how Chen Tianlong would manage, but they all trusted him.

After a moment of surprise, they returned to the edge of the stone road once more.

But this raised another issue; the suspended stone road could only support one or two people at a time. What if it fell mid-way? That would be extremely dangerous.

After some consideration, they decided to have someone test it out first. Since Chen Tianlong had already expended much energy previously, this time Senior Brother Lin Hao took the lead.

Lin Hao cautiously stepped onto the first suspended stone slab, his body swaying a bit, possibly due to not being used to it.

"Senior Brother, be careful." Pure Yang Feifei was quite frightened watching him wobble, her palms sweaty.

Lin Hao stabilized himself, smiled back, indicating he understood.

He then stepped onto the second stone, more stable this time due to his gained experience, and by the third stone, he was as relaxed as walking on a normal path.

A few minutes later, Lin Hao had reached the other side. freewebnσvel.cøm

"Everyone, come over, just keep your balance," Lin Hao shouted, waving.

On hearing this, the two junior disciples followed first, safely crossing over by following the senior brother’s steps. Pure Yang Feifei looked back at the other two, said nothing, and directly stepped onto the suspended stone road, quickly crossing over.

Finally, only Qiukui and Chen Tianlong were left. The two began almost simultaneously, with Chen Tianlong following closely behind Qiukui to prevent any unexpected accidents.

The two of them reached the middle of the suspended stone road, one after the other.

At this moment, due to the issue with Chen Tianlong’s weapon, he encountered the same situation again; his entire body was being pulled downward, bringing the stone he stood on with him.

Seeing this, Wu Mengting unhesitatingly leaped down, with Chen Tianlong plummeting swiftly.

Suddenly, a gentle hand grabbed Chen Tianlong’s wrist, and the two of them floated in mid-air, their clasped hands perpendicular to the vertical direction.

"Qiukui, what are you doing? Don’t you know this is dangerous?"

Chen Tianlong was a bit speechless; this move could be fatal, yet Qiukui foolishly came to rescue him, which made him deeply moved.

"Chen Tianlong, I’m sorry, I didn’t think much, I just worried about you. When I saw you falling, I just..." At this crucial moment, Wu Mengting’s feelings were laid bare, and Chen Tianlong finally understood Qiukui’s feelings for him.

At that moment, Chen Tianlong felt he couldn’t die, and neither could this girl. A powerful desire to survive triggered an extraordinary instinct, which had emerged once before during a great battle; he never understood why.

Was this the legendary berserk mode?

But why could he not skillfully control this power? Chen Tianlong pondered.

Actually, this was an advanced ability, a passive skill that activated under extreme danger, which emerged after reaching the fourth level of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique.

"Rise!" Chen Tianlong grasped Wu Mengting’s hand tightly, not relaxing for a moment. In an instant, the two became one, speeding towards the opposite side.

Under normal circumstances, given their falling speed and weight, even Chen Tianlong’s current strength couldn’t have sent both of them up. Moreover, only those who practiced the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique possessed this ability.

But why could Wu Mengting fuse with him?

Chen Tianlong couldn’t figure it out.

In fact, it was simple: if Chen Tianlong knew that Wu Mengting’s body contained much of his Powerful Qi, even a part of his essence, the question would be easily answered.

At this point, the two finally reached the top of the cliff. Wu Mengting, a bit frightened, clung to Chen Tianlong, and their hands remained tightly held.

"Ahem... you two can stop now!"

Pure Yang Feifei watched them with a jealous heart, thinking to herself, why is Qiukui always so lucky? Why don’t I get such an opportunity? Why?

At this, Wu Mengting realized something was off, hesitantly released her hand, and stood aside, not daring to look at Chen Tianlong. Chen Tianlong, on the other hand, smiled wryly without saying a word.

"Hehe, is everyone okay? Let’s continue our search." Senior Brother Lin Hao noticed the awkwardness and spoke loudly.

Chen Tianlong nodded, and the six of them continued inward.

The road ahead seemed devoid of danger, and after about half an hour, they suddenly arrived at a small cave.

This place was akin to an ordinary room, with a cave top low enough to seem ordinary. The cave floor shaped like an ellipse, resembling a large manhole cover.

For some reason, as soon as Chen Tianlong stepped inside, his heart began pounding, filled with a sense of foreboding.
