Chapter 1214: Chapter 1214: Falling to the Bottom of the Cave

Lin Hao saw Chen Tianlong frowning and asked with a bit of confusion, "Chen Tianlong, what’s wrong? Did you discover something amiss?"

"Hmm, I don’t know, my intuition just tells me something’s not right." Chen Tianlong couldn’t pinpoint the issue, but he felt a persistent unease.

"Qiukui, please be careful later. I always feel something’s about to happen." Chen Tianlong worriedly spoke to Wu Mengting beside him.

Upon hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, Wu Mengting was overjoyed, her cheeks flushed like blossoming flowers. She nodded obediently and said, "Okay, I understand."

Even though when they leave the cave, Chen Tianlong might belong to Lin Wushuang, Wu Mengting was touched by this fleeting tenderness, feeling happy.

Chen Tianlong was very vigilant, although the surroundings were empty. But the emptier it seemed, the more he felt something was wrong. It couldn’t just end here.

What about the coffin? Where’s Hao Shuai?

Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong became even more cautious, as his premonition grew stronger.

As everyone’s breathing quickened, suddenly from all directions on the cave walls, countless holes appeared, and sharp spikes protruded from them.

Being already highly vigilant, Chen Tianlong immediately reacted upon the phenomenon and urgently shouted, "Everyone be careful, there are traps!"

Scarcely had he spoken when the spikes shot out continuously from the holes, causing everyone great alarm, and they immediately leapt into the air, narrowly escaping the initial assault.

Yet before they could catch their breath, a wall extended its own set of spikes, similarly shooting out "swish swish swish!"

The six of them quickly landed, but as soon as they touched ground, another mechanism was activated beneath them. They had to leap again, like jumping rope, the spikes seemed to sense them, shooting automatically.

Chen Tianlong realized this jumping around was not a solution; they’d soon tire themselves out. Frantically evading while shouting, he called, "Everyone, think of a way, or we’ll die here!"

Everyone was trying hard to think, but there were few able to focus given the circumstances. Among them, only Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting managed to concentrate.

Wu Mengting could manage, because with Chen Tianlong beside her, she wouldn’t be afraid even if she died, plus she was a Celestial Dao expert, jumping for hours was no problem.

Another descent, but this time, as Chen Tianlong landed, he noticed a faint echo from beneath, as though it came from the other side.

Chen Tianlong thought his instincts were right, believing the ground beneath was hollow. To confirm this idea, he decided on the next landing to stomp down with full strength.

"Boom... buzz...."

Though the sound was faint, Chen Tianlong’s hearing was extremely acute; as he stomped down and activated the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, his sensory abilities became quite formidable.

Now Chen Tianlong was certain of the hollow beneath, his lips curled into a smile, and he shouted, "Everyone, listen to me. On the next descent, stomp down powerfully, because underneath there’s a hollow."

Despite their half-belief upon hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, in this moment they could only comply, so everyone nodded, signaling agreement.

Then, the six of them leapt into the air, and while airborne, each executed their Heart Method, gathering Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around them. Evidently, everyone was inhaling deeply, readying for the strike.

"Execute!"

Chen Tianlong shouted with force, and the six descended together. Instantly, a deafening rumble resonated as the ground gave way, a large hole appeared before them as the earth collapsed swiftly.

"Ah!"

Pure Yang Feifei was the first to fall into the hole, followed by everyone else, as escaping such a collapse was impossible.

Wu Mengting was startled, seeing the pitch-black darkness below, fearing there might be rats, she shivered uncontrollably.

While descending alongside her, Chen Tianlong saw her move and was stunned, thinking something was wrong.

Chen Tianlong quickly embraced Wu Mengting with concern and asked, "Qiukui, Qiukui, what’s wrong, why are you trembling?"

While they sped towards the ground, Wu Mengting seemed not to hear Chen Tianlong, continuing to shiver, "Qiukui, it’s Chen Tianlong, don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Just then, a large stone fell down at great speed, Chen Tianlong swiftly hugged Wu Mengting, dodging to the side, then extended his palm, smashing the stone, reducing it to rubble scattered through the descending passage.

The depth of the pit was immense, and even after falling for a long time, they hadn’t reached the bottom. Chen Tianlong realized a direct fall would surely mean death, so he contemplated alerting Wu Mengting.

"Qiukui, Qiukui, wake up quickly, we’re in grave danger, you cannot zone out," Chen Tianlong worriedly called.

"Huh?"

Wu Mengting finally came to, her fear initially due to the pitch-black, imagining it teeming with rats. But realizing Chen Tianlong was holding her, she immediately felt immensely safe.

"Qiukui, quickly activate your Heart Method, when landing, use Powerful Qi to protect your Heart Meridian, I’ll see if we can slow down." Chen Tianlong explained to Wu Mengting while watching the cave walls.

Regrettably, the surrounding walls were sleek rock, making grip impossible. Suddenly Chen Tianlong thought of the Dragon Slayer Sword, "Right, isn’t the Dragon Slayer Sword indestructible? Maybe it can help reduce our speed."

Thinking this, one arm hugging Wu Mengting, Chen Tianlong plunged the Dragon Slayer Sword into the stone wall. Indeed, the sword caused bright sparks while grinding against the wall, lighting the way downward.

Yet they fell too quickly, and despite the friction between the sword and wall, they couldn’t halt their descent. Soon, light appeared from the hole’s mouth, signaling they were near the bottom.

Urgently, Chen Tianlong shouted, "Qiukui, it’s time, use Powerful Qi for protection."

"Mm!"

Wu Mengting blinked peacefully, then activated Powerful Qi, and after the frictional slowdown, their speed significantly decreased.

Closer, even closer!

Approximately ten meters remained to the hole’s bottom when suddenly, their speed slowed dramatically.

While descending, they nearly lost acceleration, experiencing freefall, minimizing impact and damage. Protected by Powerful Qi, upon reaching the bottom, they only created a small indentation.
