Chapter 360 Are we really going down?
Su Chenyin glanced at Jiu Lan'er, who was full of fear, and said calmly, "If you want to know what's inside, you'll find out when you go down."
At this time, Yan Ling had already transformed into a human form.
When it heard that its master was going to go down to investigate, it quickly grabbed the corner of Su Chenyin's clothes and said worriedly:
"Master, are we really going down?"
"I feel a strong resentment coming from the crack continuously, and it's pitch black below. I can't see what's there at all. It's too dangerous!"
Jiu Lan'er also nodded repeatedly, indicating that she agreed with Yan Ling's concerns, and said anxiously:
"Yes, human, I feel that the resentment emanating from this crack is heavier than that on the ground. It must be very dangerous in here. Are we sure we want to go down?"
Faced with Yan Ling and Jiu Lan'er's worries, Su Chenyin did not show the slightest bit of nervousness or fear.
On the contrary, she looked calm and composed, with a determined light shining deep in her eyes.
She slowly moved her gaze away from the deep crack, turned her head, and looked at Yan Ling and Jiu Lan'er calmly, saying:
"It is precisely because the resentment below is more intense than that above that we need to go down, because I guess the source of the resentment may be below."
"Besides, isn't the purpose of our coming to the Valley of Wrathful Souls this time to find the source of the resentment and break the curse of the blood-cursed land? And this might be it, why not go down?"
Hearing this, Jiu Lan'er was stunned, but soon showed a surprised expression on her face and asked in disbelief:
"Human, are you serious? Is the area below really the source of the resentment? Can we really find a way to break the curse down there?"
Su Chen nodded slightly to express his affirmation: "Well, this is just my guess, but based on the current situation, this possibility is the greatest."
When Jiu Lan'er heard this, her eyes were immediately filled with excitement and anticipation, and she hurriedly urged, "In that case, what are we waiting for? Let's go down quickly."
Su Chenyin couldn't help but laugh out loud as she watched Jiu Lan'er's worry turn into excitement and her urging her so anxiously.
Yan Ling, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Jiu Lan'er like this, and his original worries were alleviated a little.
It loosened its grip on the corner of Su Chenyin's clothes, straightened its sleeves, and waved its fists:
"In that case, Master, let's go down, break the curse, and leave this damn place."
"Okay." Su Chenyin nodded with a smile and quickly calmed his mind.
Then she stretched out her right hand and gently turned her palm.
As her mind moved, purple golden flame suddenly appeared in her palm.
Seeing this, Jiu Lan'er also flipped her palm, and the Vermillion Bird Divine Fire jumped out from the center of her palm.
Jiu Lan'er is now a fox, but he still needs to walk, so he can only condense the blue flame on top of his head.
Su Chenyin turned his head to glance at Jiulan'er and Yanling, and seeing that they were ready, he smiled and nodded to show his satisfaction.
However, she still reminded him with some concern: "Let's go down, but be careful."
After saying that, Su Chenyin took a deep breath and took the lead in stepping onto the stairs.
She stepped carefully on the first step, feeling the solidity under her feet, and then walked down slowly.
Yan Ling and Jiu Lan'er followed closely behind.
In this way, the man and two beasts walked down the stairs carefully, while being alert to any movements around them.
The stairs were winding and getting darker as they went down. Only the fire from the three of them illuminated the way ahead and also dispelled some of the resentment.
As they continued to go deeper, some strange carvings began to appear on the rock walls on both sides of the stairs.
Those carvings are full of an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, as if telling an unknown and long-standing story.
The resentment that permeated the surroundings became increasingly strong, and even the air became sticky, making people feel depressed and fearful.
It feels like countless pairs of eyes are secretly watching you, and every pore is filled with uneasiness, which makes people shudder.
But Su Chenyin seemed unusually calm and fearless. She held the sword tightly in her hand and continued to move forward with a firm look in her eyes.
Yan Ling'er was not afraid at all. She followed Su Chenyin closely and looked around vigilantly.
Jiulan'er looked around for a while, then stared nervously at the front, with his tail tucked tightly between his legs.
The three of them walked step by step, and it was so quiet around them that they seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeats.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally reached the end of the stairs.
A huge stone gate appeared in front of them.
The stone gate was engraved with ancient and mysterious runes, each rune flickering with a faint light.
In the center of the stone gate, there is a groove, which is also engraved with complex runes.
Yan Ling and Jiu Lan'er looked at the stone gate nervously, while a hint of excitement flashed in Su Chenyin's eyes.
She walked quickly to the stone gate and observed it carefully for a while.
She discovered that the runes on the stone gate had similarities with the patterns on the Blood Soul Pendant.
The shape of the groove is exactly the same as that of the Blood Soul Pendant.
Seeing this, Su Chenyin's heart moved, and he immediately took out the Blood Soul Pendant from the space.
"Master, isn't this groove exactly the same as the Blood Soul Pendant? It seems that the Blood Soul Pendant is the key to opening the stone door." Yan Ling shouted excitedly.
"Well, it is indeed."
Su Chenyin nodded in agreement, then placed the Blood Soul Pendant into the groove in the center of the stone gate.
In an instant, the Blood Soul Pendant resonated with the runes on the stone gate, emitting a faint red light.
Those ancient runes seemed to be activated and began to flow as if they had life.
Su Chenyin stared at the runes on the stone gate. The light became brighter and brighter, and the Blood Soul Pendant also emitted a dazzling light.
Yan Ling and Jiu Lan'er stood aside, too nervous to even breathe.
Suddenly, a red light flashed.
There was a low roar, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to somewhere unknown.
The passage was pitch black, without a trace of light, and seemed bottomless, as if it was an endless abyss.
Su Chenyin stood at the edge of the stone gate. She could feel the cold breath coming from the passage, with an even stronger sense of resentment.
This resentment was stronger than any resentment I had encountered before, as if the source of the resentment was at the end of the passage.
Su Chenyin nodded slightly, thinking to himself: "It seems that they are not far from the source of resentment."
Yan Ling and Jiu Lan'er also felt the resentment coming towards them, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.
"Human, do you think the source of resentment will be at the end of this passage? It seems that the resentment in this passage is even stronger." Yan Ling asked in a trembling voice.
Su Chenyin took the Blood Soul Pendant out of the groove, put it back into the space, and then replied: "Well, it should be."
