Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

238 Under the Ground, Undercurrents Surging

Because Zhao Ziming was standing there “obstinately”, Lin Ran had no choice but to tie him to the side for the time being. Then, he dug a hole on the ground with Shen Rulin.

The two of them did not know what was down there, so they could only dig down slowly with their hands. Fortunately, the gravel here was not small. The two of them worked together and quickly dug a huge pit more than five feet deep.

Soon, an entire pitch-black rock was revealed at the bottom of the pit.

Shen Rulin clapped his hands and stood up with a puzzled expression. “There’s nothing down there. Are we really thinking too much?”

Lin Ran looked at the bottom of the pit and didn’t say anything.

Logically speaking, since Zhao Ziming was so obsessed with this place, there must be something strange going on down there. However, they did not find anything. This was really abnormal.

“Could it be…”

An idea suddenly struck Lin Ran. After getting Shen Rulin to move away, Lin Ran summoned the Yin-Yang Sword and stabbed at the bottom of the pit!

Clang—

The sharp blade being unsheathed sounded out of thin air. In an instant, thousands of sword energy swept out!

With a loud bang, gravel of all sizes flew everywhere like raindrops. The size of the pit instantly doubled!

“What are you doing!”

Shen Rulin exclaimed, “If there’s something hidden below, it’ll all be destroyed by your sword!”

“Without my sword, we might not have been able to find what’s underneath!”

Lin Ran sneered and held the Yin-Yang Sword, sweeping out another wave of sword energy.

However, this wave of sword energy was much gentler than before. As it flew up and down, it blew away the dust that surged up. The huge pit was revealed in front of the two of them again, and at the bottom of the pit that seemed to be one with the mountain, a black cave entrance actually appeared!

The cave entrance was about three feet wide. Other than the fact that the entrance was a little rough, the inside was obviously well-carved.

Seeing this, Shen Rulin’s expression changed slightly. He asked in confusion, “Why is this cave carved out from inside the mountain? Did someone dig it from the inside out?”

“It’s more complicated than that.”

Lin Ran replied softly with a faint smile. If not for the sake of confidentiality, he really wanted to tell Shen Rulin that the main peak of Mount Sword itself was a huge machine-like thing.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran suddenly felt his heart tighten.

Since the other party had lured them here using Zhao Ziming, the person must want them to discover this cave entrance. Then, this person must know the inside story.

However, only Lin Ran and Huo Qiyun knew that there was a mechanism in Mount Sword, but Huo Qiyun didn’t have the ability to control others.

“Could it be that Xiao Huai is already awake?”

Lin Ran had this guess because he remembered that Xiao Huai could indeed control other people’s thoughts and movements.

However, if it was really Xiao Huai, this dark cloud should be mixed with the evil aura of Xiao Huai. However, Lin Ran had been here for so long, but he didn’t sense Xiao Huai’s evil aura.

Just as Lin Ran was thinking hard about it, Shen Rulin suddenly asked, “What are you thinking about? You look like you’re in pain.”

“Nothing.”

Lin Ran forced a smile and looked at the dark cave entrance at the bottom of the pit. “If we go down from here, we’ll reach a place called Sword Grave. It’s not too dangerous, but it’s not safe either. Wait for me up there, okay?”

Shen Rulin listened expressionlessly until he heard Lin Ran ask him to stay up here. He frowned and said unhappily, “What do you mean? Do you think I’m afraid of death?”

Lin Ran waved his hand. “The situation down there is indeed a little complicated. Besides, he still needs someone to take care of him, right?”

Shen Rulin turned around and looked at Zhao Ziming. Even though he was tied up, he was still struggling stiffly, as if he wanted to crawl into the cave entrance at the bottom of the pit.

Lin Ran looked at Shen Rulin. Just as he was wondering if he should knock this guy out, he suddenly heard a rustling sound.

The sound was like something crawling on a rock. Lin Ran thought that it was an illusion, so he didn’t take it seriously, but he realized that Shen Rulin was listening carefully with his eyes closed.

“You heard it too?”

Lin Ran asked in surprise. As he spoke, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

“The sound seems to be coming from here.”

Shen Rulin pointed at the cave entrance at the bottom of the pit. “It’s getting closer and closer. Something seems to be coming out.”

Lin Ran nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly felt that this sound was a little familiar. It was as if he had heard this rustling sound before.

“Could it be that it’s not an illusion?”

In just a short while, the rustling sound had already become much louder. In the beginning, Lin Ran had to hold his breath to hear it faintly, but now, he could hear it clearly.

Lin Ran and Shen Rulin looked at each other and stood up at the same time to leave the pit. No matter if the thing inside was friend or foe, it wasn’t wrong to keep a certain distance.

“If you want to leave, you’d better leave as soon as possible.”

Lin Ran held the Yin-Yang Sword and said softly, “If a fight breaks out, I can’t guarantee that I can keep you safe.”

“Don’t worry about me.”

Shen Rulin replied in a low voice. As he spoke, he untied the rope around his waist to prevent the two of them from becoming each other’s burden.

Seeing that Shen Rulin was determined to stay, Lin Ran didn’t say anything else. He closed his eyes and sent a wisp of divine sense into the dark cave.

At this moment, the rustling suddenly stopped, as if something inside had discovered Lin Ran’s divine sense.

Shen Rulin’s expression changed slightly. Then, he saw Lin Ran suddenly open his eyes and jump into the cave without hesitation!

“Lin Ran.”

Shen Rulin shouted and hurriedly followed. Just as he jumped into the cave, he felt the surrounding light suddenly dim. At the same time, a cold light slashed at his throat!
