Chapter 203 Stockholm Syndrome

Chapter 203 (Rewritten) Stockholm Syndrome
I wasn’t very satisfied with what I wrote yesterday, as I wasn’t able to interact with the popular characters.

So I rewrote about three thousand words.
-
"woo woo woo woo."

Bi Yao looked at the man in front of her angrily. This damn man, in order to stop her from talking, actually tore off a piece of his clothes and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Puff~puff~puff~"

Finally, Su Dingan tore the cloth out of her mouth, where Bi Yao kept spitting and retching.

"what on earth do you want!"

After taking a few breaths, Biyao stood up. She was not stupid. When they were at the giant beast, this man chose to take her with him, which meant that he did not intend to take her life, at least for the time being. However, not taking her life was not necessarily a good thing in many cases.
"not so good."

Su Dingan shook his head and waved his hand gently. The blood and energy beads floated under his feet, lifting the two of them up and floating upwards.

He didn't know where the Bleeding Cave was. After all, the Undead Abyss was too big and there was no light, as if his eyes were blinded by the fog of war. However, the original book described that the entrance of the Bleeding Cave was sealed by a black-hearted old man and a tree was planted outside.

So the scene brought here is to look for an ancient tree on the four walls under the Dead Abyss. There is a high possibility that there is the entrance to the Bleeding Cave.

Of course, things won't be that simple.

You said that there is only one dead tree in the entire Dead Abyss. You are not hiding it, you are just trying to cover up the truth.
So, in fact, under the cliff where he is now, he can see these trees growing in the dark from time to time, and he doesn't know how they survive. If you get closer, you can even see the leaves glowing slightly.

In the darkness, Su Dingan was like a typewriter, patrolling from bottom to top, layer by layer along this wide wall that seemed to have no end.

In the original novel, Zhang Xiaofan was in the underground dark sea, and was whipped out by a tail like a golf ball. He flew in the air for a long time, hit the wall, and then fell down, breaking a big tree, which made the bleeding cave leak out.

In other words, the Bleeding Cave should be facing the underground dark sea, which is the seemingly endless wall he is searching for at the moment. In addition, the height of this tree must not be very high, because if it is too high, the cave will not be able to be knocked down by the Black Water Mystic Snake.
"Oh, you want to find the Bleeding Cave!"

Looking at Su Dingan flying along the cliff, Bi Yao suddenly spoke.

"Hehe, I think you are just dreaming. We in the Holy Church have been searching for so many years and have never found the Bleeding Cave. Don't dream about it as an outsider."

"Also, don't even think about using me as a bargaining chip. I'd rather die than let you succeed!"

"Also, what did you do to me? Why am I so weak and unable to use my true energy?"

"If you keep talking, I'll put this thing in your mouth again."

"Hmm."

Bi Yao closed her mouth in disappointment. It was obvious that her plan to get more information from the man had failed completely as the man refused to respond at all.

However, what Bi Yao didn't know was that Su Dingan was actually considering exchanging her for the second volume of the Heavenly Book.

After all, he has not forgotten brother Li Elden's wish, and he will do his best to help him collect all the heavenly books. As he said, he will repay a favor.

The Heavenly Book has a total of five volumes, which is confirmed in the original novel. Outside the original novel, some people have analyzed that the great witch Linglong in Southern Xinjiang also has a volume in her hand. This is just a guess, but it makes sense when you think about it carefully. After all, all the spells in this world come from the Heavenly Book. Why should you, Linglong, be an exception?

at the moment.

The first volume is right before our eyes and can be easily obtained.

The second volume is in the hands of thousands of people.

The third volume will not be published for another ten years.

Volume 4, in Tianyin Temple, there is no chance for this for the time being.

The fifth volume is the Zhu Xian Sword. Maybe one day when he becomes the head of Qingyun Sect, he will be able to obtain it naturally.

Therefore, in the short term, the only volumes he had a chance to get were the first and second volumes.

The key to getting the second volume lies in Bi Yao.
The Ghost King was plotting against Lin Jingyu, but wasn't he also plotting against the Ghost King?
-
"I've met the sect leader."

Mr. Ghost bowed to the tens of thousands of people. The Azure Dragon Protector used a secret technique to bring himself here at the fastest speed. Now he was so tired that he fell into a deep sleep to recover.

"Mr. Gui, the Qingyun Sect has issued the Qingyun Order. Hundreds of righteous people have gathered on the South Mountain side, and more people should come in succession."

Wanren picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

"So, what do you think, Master?"

"Mr. Ghost, you are good at the secret arts of the ghost way, and the millions of vengeful spirits in the Dead Abyss are the best materials. I hope you can set up a ghost way formation to trap these righteous people in this Kongsang Mountain!"

"This"

Hearing this, Mr. Gui was stunned. After thinking about it for a while, he guessed what Wanrenwang was thinking, which was to repair the plank road in the open while secretly attacking Chencang.

"Of course you can, but Sect Master, I heard from the Azure Dragon Guardian that your daughter is most likely still in the Dead Abyss."

"Ah."

Everyone nodded.

"Indeed, he is still down there. As for going up, Nian Qi's barrier of resentment blocks the way up. With his cultivation, if he had the ability to break through the barrier of resentment of millions of resentful spirits, he would not stay down there. As for going down, there is no need to worry about the Merciless Sea. Anyone who goes in there will surely die. Only the dark river can lead one to leave the Dead Abyss, but this dark river is guarded by Suzaku."

"Then you will open this ghost formation."

"It doesn't matter."

Everyone shook their heads.

"That young man should have a rare treasure in his hand."

"Exotic treasure?"

"Based on the descriptions of Youruo and Qinglong, as well as the reactions of those resentful souls, I infer that he may have the legendary Nine Nether Mysterious Iron in his hand, which can capture souls."

"Doesn't that thing exist only in legends?"

"Isn't it the same with the Black Water Snake?"

Thousands of people smiled.

"Before today, I didn't dare to conclude whether this Black Water Mystical Snake really existed, right?"

"Then this young man is indeed extraordinary."

"So, if such a person doesn't kill Bi Yao, he must have some ulterior motive. Being trapped in this ghost array, he won't be in danger of death because of the soul-stealing device. However, there is no food in the ghost array. It's no problem for a cultivator to fast for three to five days, but he can't stand it for a long time. By then, he will be surrounded on three sides and one person will be missing. Through the guidance of the ghost array, he will be led out of the dark river. This is not to bet on his cowardice, but such a calculating person will definitely not be willing to starve to death in the Dead Abyss."

"Besides, this black water snake." "This ancient beast is very difficult to wake up when it is asleep, but once it wakes up, it will not fall asleep for a short time, and it is very sensitive to the smell of blood and flesh. With this ghost formation, at least Yao'er's risk can be reduced. After all, this kind of beast is definitely not something that can be matched by personal strength."

"Subordinates, I obey your orders."

Mr. Gui pondered for a moment and nodded. He knew that the plan of the father in front of him seemed to kill three birds with one stone. It not only trapped the righteous people, but also trapped the enemies who captured his daughter, and ensured that his daughter would not be killed by the Black Water Serpent. However, in the final analysis, he was gambling.

I bet that the young man has the soul-capturing black iron in his hand.

If not, after the formation was deployed, there would be absolutely no chance of survival in this dead soul abyss where the resentment was the most concentrated.
Of course, if it really wasn't true, then I guess those righteous people would have to stay and be buried with his daughter.
"Report!!"

Suddenly, the elder brother came running over in a hurry.

"Ghost King, our people in the Dead Abyss sent news that the Black Water Mystic Snake seems to have gone mad."

"what?"

Tens of thousands of people couldn't help but stand up.

"what reason?"

"I don't know. My Blood Refining Hall's worshiper, the vampire Jiang Lao San, is a disciple of the vampire demon. He has a pair of ears that are far superior to ordinary people. He heard that the black water snake somehow crawled under the wall of the Dead Abyss. It seems that it has discovered something and is attacking there frantically."

"and"

"And what?"

"He also heard Miss Biyao's screams. Although he couldn't hear them clearly, she seemed to be cursing."

"That means it's all right."

The Ghost King looked at Mr. Ghost.

"Subordinates, set up the formation now!"

Mr. Ghost cupped his hands, and his body turned into a ball of black mist, flying along the dark river towards the Abyss of the Dead. Obviously, the worst result had occurred. In such a large place, only exotic beasts like the Black Water Mystic Snake could find two living people as small as ants.

Of course, this is also because of the people who practice Taoism. After all, the essence and blood of a successful practitioner is equivalent to that of thousands or even more ordinary people.
"Ah!! You stinky bug!!"

"Ah, don't come over here!!"

In the Dead Abyss, Biyao's voice echoed with the sound of the black water snake's collision.
The wall of the Undead Abyss opposite the Black Water Serpent was riddled with holes from its impact.

At some point, Bi Yao had hugged Su Dingan tightly, not even daring to open her eyes, so she didn't notice that every movement of Su Dingan seemed to be tempting the Black Water Snake to crash into the trees.

Obviously, he was actually using the Black Water Snake as a shield machine.
In fact, the Black Water Snake was attracted by him. He secretly spread his energy and blood. In such an environment, in the eyes of the Black Water Snake, his behavior was like a fire in the darkness, clearly telling the Black Water Snake, I am here, come and eat me!
Then, he used the Taiji Boluo's dynamic character formula to transform himself and Bi Yao into willow catkins, and used the clumsy, single-minded method of the Black Water Mystic Snake, with the wall behind to support it and prevent it from being outflanked. Even if it fought for a whole day, it would never be able to hit Su Dingan.
Finally, after one attack, Su Dingan heard a crashing sound behind him, and he floated in holding Bi Yao.

That's right, behind it is the Bleeding Cave. In fact, he had already discovered this place through the Tai Chi Boruo's Jing character technique. However, if he opened it directly, wouldn't it be telling Bi Yao that I know everything? Therefore, this is one of the two reasons why he summoned the Black Water Serpent.

As for another reason?
"Boom, boom, boom."

Seeing its prey drilled into the tiny cave, the Black Water Snake became even more crazy and kept hitting the rock wall. Finally, the rock wall collapsed with a loud bang, completely covering the cave.

At the same time, in this dark cave, a thin layer of mist started to float up from nowhere. Soon, the mist became thicker and thicker, so thick that it seemed to cover up all light, smell, and even sound.
"Not really?"

Mr. Ghost stood in the air, holding a magic weapon that looked like a skull in his hand. There was a strong smell of blood in the magic weapon, and it was filled with bubbling blood. When he used the resentful souls in the Dead Abyss to perform the Ghost Formation, he could almost sense whether there was life in every place under the entire formation.

However, the fact is that he only sensed the Black Water Mystic Snake and the cultivator named Jiang Lao San.
It seems that the Ghost King's guess was correct. Only the Nine Nether Mysterious Iron like the Soul-Capturer can block the resentment around it, so that he cannot sense the other party's existence with the help of the resentment.

Then, the Black Water Snake also stopped attacking and slowly coiled under the rock wall. Its huge body was like a mountain...
Soon, a slow but long breathing sound came from the bottom of the dead soul abyss.
Mr. Ghost nodded slightly. This strong resentment was poison to humans, but to a prehistoric beast like the Black Water Mystic Snake, it was like spiritual energy. Under such strong resentment, the most likely thing it would do was to give up looking for living people, and then find a comfortable place to sleep.
“You can let go now.”

Deep in the Bleeding Cave, in order to avoid landslides, Su Dingan brought Bi Yao all the way to the end of the first mechanism of the Bleeding Cave. Behind him, a small waterfall was flowing. The water fell into the pool below, and then seeped into the deeper underground through certain cracks.

With the help of the fluorite glowing faintly all around, it does look pretty.

So he patted Biyao on the back.

"what!!"

Bi Yao then opened her eyes and suddenly let go of Su Dingan, her face red as if it was a monkey's butt.
"Ahem... this... this... is this still the Dead Abyss?"

"Where have you taken me?"

"do not know."

Su Dingan shrugged.

"The black water snake knocked open a cave, and I got in."

"Bleeding Cave?"

Perhaps it was to change the subject, or perhaps she had really discovered the bleeding cave that the members of the Demon Cult had been looking for for a long time but had never found. A hint of excitement flashed across Bi Yao's face. She looked at the water curtain behind Su Ding'an and even groped for the smooth wall without caring about getting her body wet.

"That's right. This wall was made by the secret technique of my Holy Church. Unless you find the mechanism, few people in this world can break through this wall. Even if you can break it, the entire Bleeding Cave will collapse! This black-hearted old ghost actually hid the Bleeding Cave under the Dead Abyss and buried it in the wall. No wonder it can't be found."

"Hehe, now your wish has come true."

As she spoke, Bi Yao turned around and looked at Su Dingan, only to discover that this man had actually found a seat and sat down.

"Why are you unhappy?"

"Do you want to go check out the entrance?"

“What are you looking at?”

“It’s blocked.”

After a moment, Bi Yao came back with a conflicted look on her face.

The entrance of the cave collapsed directly, and the huge rock blocked all the exits. Although the Black Water Mystic Snake could easily break the rock, it was a prehistoric beast, and the rocks of the Dead Abyss were notoriously hard.
Then, taking a step back, even if they opened the cave, what would happen?

If the snake is still outside, after digging this place up, they will probably be half dead, and will become the snake's meal.
"Plop.."

So Biyao also sat down.

For a moment, the whole cave was silent.
And this is exactly what Su Dingan wanted.
It comes from a psychological bug in the previous life, Stockholm syndrome.
