Chapter 1630 The Devil's Cave
"Wait!"
Xu Chun suddenly shouted.
Following Xu Chun's gaze, Zhang Jian saw Chen Xuan covered in sweat, veins bulging on his forehead.
He was greatly surprised, "What's going on?"
As Zhang Jian was about to ask, Xu Chun said, "Don't disturb him. He must have seen something with his divine sense."
"How is that possible? Didn't you sense anything?"
"Although my strength is greater than his, the power of one's divine sense is related to soul power, not cultivation. Perhaps his divine sense is stronger and he can perceive things further away."
"Then what did he see to have such an expression?"
Zhang Jian looked at Chen Xuan, his voice a little hoarse.
A moment later, Chen Xuan recovered, his face filled with lingering fear. He couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Recalling what he had just seen, Chen Xuan's expression changed again.
Zhang Jian leaned closer and said, "Chen Xuan, what did you see just now?"
Xu Chun also showed a curious look.
Chen Xuan said, "I... I saw a giant heart! And countless blood vessels, those thick blood vessels, connected to the earth, providing nutrients to the plants on the earth, and all the dead monsters and humans turned into influences, transmitted through the blood vessels to that giant heart..."
After listening, Zhang Jian touched Chen Xuan's forehead, "Chen Xuan, do you have a fever? Are you talking nonsense?"
Chen Xuan slapped Zhang Jian's hand away, "I don't have a fever..."
Although he also doubted what he saw, he had to admit that what he saw was not wrong.
"Tch, how can there be such a big heart?"
Zhang Jian shook his head, "Are you telling me a fairy tale?"
Chen Xuan said seriously, "Don't you think cultivators are something that should only appear in fairy tales?"
Zhang Jian was immediately speechless.
The existence of people like them already went beyond ordinary people's understanding.
"Chen Xuan, did you really see a giant heart?" Xu Chun asked seriously.
Chen Xuan nodded, "Yes, I did."
Xu Chun hesitated for a moment and said, "I once read in an ancient book that Cannibal Island is actually a monster from mythology. If that's the case, it's probably as the myths said."
"Holy cow, no way?"
Zhang Jian exclaimed, "Such a huge monster, what kind of cultivation would that take?"
Xu Chun asked, "Chen Xuan, do you know where the Devil's Cave is?"
Chen Xuan shook his head, "No."
Xu Chun and Zhang Jian rolled their eyes.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a rumbling sound echoed, followed by the ground shaking.
Zhang Jian shouted, "Run!"
With that, Zhang Jian turned and ran.
Chen Xuan looked back and saw countless giant black spiders rushing towards them with their fangs bared.
The number of these black spiders was terrifying, a vast expanse of black.
Their legs were sharper than spears. A rhinoceros with thick skin was directly pierced by the leg of a black spider. If that were to stab a person's stomach...
With that thought, Chen Xuan also turned and fled. His speed was so fast that he quickly caught up with Zhang Jian and Xu Chun!
"Damn it, why are you running so fast?"
Zhang Jian shouted.
Xu Chun was also surprised by the speed, but he didn't think much of it, assuming Chen Xuan was just scared.
"What do we do? They're almost upon us!"
Chen Xuan glanced back. The spiders were too fast. They were outmatched with two legs against eight.
"I don't know!"
Zhang Jian and Xu Chun were helpless!
Chen Xuan could only run with his head down. Seeing the spiders catching up, Chen Xuan suddenly felt his feet go empty, and he plummeted downwards. It was then that he realized they had fallen into a huge pit.
"Ah—"
Chen Xuan couldn't help but scream.
Zhang Jian and Xu Chun also screamed.
The pit was enormous, hundreds of meters high. Falling into it would surely break their limbs. Fortunately, many trees grew from the walls, slowing their descent.
Bang!
Chen Xuan and the others landed heavily on the ground, the impact creating several large craters.
Fortunately, they were all experts and strong.
Chen Xuan rubbed his neck and stood up with a grimace, "Are you guys okay?"
He turned his head and saw Zhang Jian and Xu Chun staggering to their feet, their condition not much different from his.
"We're fine."
Seeing that they were unharmed, Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Jian suddenly shouted, "Let's go quickly! Don't let those spiders follow us."
Xu Chun, however, said, "Those spiders probably won't dare to come."
"What do you mean?"
"Look for yourself?"
Even Chen Xuan looked up and saw that the spiders were all gathered at the edge of the cave entrance, but not a single one dared to come in.
"These spiders seem very scared," Zhang Jian frowned.
"Of course they're scared. If I'm not mistaken, this is the Devil's Cave." Xu Chun smiled slightly.
Chen Xuan asked, "How can you tell?"
"Look over there!"
Xu Chun pointed in one direction.
Chen Xuan turned his head and saw that on the nearby stone wall, there were countless caves, exuding a sinister aura. Eerie wails could be heard from within, making one tremble.
"It really is the Devil's Cave. We stumbled upon it by accident. We're so lucky." Zhang Jian was full of excitement.
"Let's go, let's hurry to the Devil's Cave."
Xu Chun walked towards the Devil's Cave.
Chen Xuan and Zhang Jian followed closely.
Upon reaching the Devil's Cave, Chen Xuan realized that there was actually a small path leading to it. They had taken a high-altitude tunnel. In front of the Devil's Cave, there were traces of people fighting, suggesting that a battle had taken place here.
"Quick, look, there's a corpse!"
Suddenly, Zhang Jian shouted.
Chen Xuan and Xu Chun rushed over and saw a middle-aged man, his breath completely gone, his body in tatters, and covered in blood.
"This is someone from the Imperial Observatory. It seems they had an accident here."
Xu Chun found an ID from the man's pocket. The man's name was Li Heng, and he was from the Imperial Observatory.
"Let's go in quickly. If my father-in-law has any accidents, I won't have the face to go back."
Chen Xuan eagerly rushed in.
Zhang Jian and Xu Chun followed closely.
As soon as they stepped into the cave, Chen Xuan heard a wailing sound and stopped.
"Did you hear something? It sounds like a ghost wailing?" Zhang Jian trembled slightly.
Chen Xuan was not afraid at all. He had even seen Yama, so why would he be afraid of ghosts?
Moreover, he was sure that these were not ghosts, but people.
He said, "It's not ghosts, it's people making those sounds, screams it seems. Let's go see!"
With that, Chen Xuan charged in one direction.
Zhang Jian and Xu Chun exchanged a glance and followed closely.
Inside the cave, Chen Xuan walked for over two hundred meters when he suddenly saw a figure ahead. From Chen Xuan's angle, he could see half of the person's face. That person was Qi Chunyu from the Soul Sect!
"Qi Chunyu?"
Xu Chun also recognized him and called out.
Qi Chunyu seemed to have heard their voices. He turned his head and discovered that Qi Chunyu was only half a body...
