Chapter 336 The Legendary Taotie
The darkness deep within the crack is like a bottomless abyss.
The three of them fell in, and the feeling of weightlessness and the cold air currents rushing past them made them feel a little uneasy.
Fortunately, when landing, Chen Yile was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and used his body skills to cleverly relieve the force and landed safely.
He then grabbed Lin Qingyao and Lin Feihong who were about to fall.
"This place is really weird." Lin Feihong supported his aching wrist, his tone filled with suppressed irritation.
"Was the crack just now man-made?" Lin Qingyao frowned. She looked around and found that the space in front was gradually narrowing.
It seemed as if it was leading them into an ominous situation.
Chen Yile pondered for a moment and shook his head.
"This underground world is far more complicated than we imagined. Don't act rashly, just keep moving forward."
The three of them followed Chen Yile's footsteps closely and walked in the passage ahead.
As we moved forward, the surrounding environment changed - the passage became narrower and narrower, and moisture continued to seep out of the walls.
The air was filled with a strong smell of decay.
The oppressive feeling of the stone wall gradually enveloped the three of them, making it impossible for them to move forward side by side.
Only one person following closely behind can squeeze through this passage.
"Why is the road ahead so narrow?" Lin Feihong nudged Chen Yile's back with his shoulder and couldn't help muttering.
"Quiet and stay alert." Chen Yile's eyes were sharp, and he was always aware of the movements around him.
The breeze echoed in the passage with an uneasy sound.
The three of them had to slow down and walked along the passage for about ten minutes.
Finally, the narrow passage gradually opened up in front, revealing a relatively spacious cave.
There are vaguely a few huge stone pillars standing in the cave, like some kind of ancient relics.
The ground is covered with gravel and irregular potholes, exuding a desolate and eerie atmosphere.
"This seems to be an...altar?" Lin Qingyao's voice was filled with a hint of doubt, and she pointed to a depression in the center of the cave.
It seemed that some important item had been placed there, but now it was empty.
Chen Yile frowned, he looked around and felt vaguely that this place was full of danger.
"Everyone be careful, something is wrong here."
Suddenly, the ground shook violently.
It was as if something huge was awakening deep underground.
Immediately, a strong fishy smell came to my face and the ground cracked.
A huge monster slowly emerged from the crack!
The monster was huge, its body covered with blue-black scales, its limbs were strong and powerful, and its belly was swollen.
It seems to be filled with countless things to devour.
Its head is flat and its mouth is exaggeratedly open, almost enough to swallow a person in one bite, with disgusting saliva dripping from the corners of its mouth.
Its eyes were narrow and full of bloodthirsty madness. It roared, grabbed a huge rock, stuffed it directly into its mouth, and started chewing it, making a "crunching" sound.
"This... could this thing be a Taotie?!" Lin Feihong's face suddenly changed, and his voice was filled with a hint of fear.
Chen Yile was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect to encounter the legendary Taotie in this underground ruins.
Taotie is a legendary ancient monster known for its endless greed and gluttony, devouring everything in sight.
According to rumors, even living people can be swallowed up by it in one gulp, without mercy.
"We can't let it devour at will!" Chen Yile took a deep breath and tried to use his psychic eyes to lock onto the Taotie's soul.
I want to use this to freeze its movements.
However, Taotie's soul is extremely vague and is not even within the boundary of yin and yang.
The power of the psychic eye has no effect on this!
"There's nothing we can do. It seems this thing is physical and cannot be controlled by spiritual magic." Chen Yile said in a deep voice.
He quickly drew out the Tianshi Sword, and a faint golden light emanated from the blade, foreshadowing the power to exorcise evil spirits.
He concentrated and said, "Qingyao, Feihong, we have no choice but to fight hard! Each of us use our Taoism to try our best to trap it!"
Lin Qingyao nodded, and she immediately took out a few talismans from her arms, quickly formed seals, and threw the talismans out one by one.
The talisman transformed into several golden halos in the air, spinning rapidly, trying to trap Taotie in place.
However, Taotie roared violently and its strong limbs shook violently.
The golden light emitted by the talisman was instantly broken!
"This thing is too powerful, ordinary talismans can't trap it!" Lin Qingyao gritted her teeth, obviously a little anxious.
At the same time, Lin Feihong had already pulled out the black iron dagger, and the runes on the dagger were flashing with a dark red light.
He quickly drew a circular magic circle on the ground, muttering something, and a faint red light rose from the magic circle.
The Taotie's steps were slightly restricted for a moment.
"Keep attacking! We have to work together to deal with it!" Seeing that the magic circle had some effect, Chen Yile immediately rushed forward with his sword.
He moved extremely fast, and the Tianshi Sword drew a dazzling sword light in the air, slashing fiercely at the scales of the Taotie.
However, the scales of Taotie were extremely hard, and when the Tianshi Sword cut down on them, a sharp metallic collision sound was heard.
Only a shallow mark was left on the scales.
"This guy's defense is too strong!" Lin Feihong saw this and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.
The Taotie was enraged and let out a deafening roar. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced directly at Chen Yile.
Its speed was astonishing, and its huge figure stirred up a fishy wind in the air.
It seemed that the huge mouth was about to swallow Chen Yile.
"Be careful!" Lin Qingyao shouted hurriedly. She quickly threw out an explosive talisman, which ignited a raging flame in the air and exploded violently.
Hit Taotie right in the face.
Flames shot out everywhere, Taotie roared angrily, and was temporarily forced back a step by the flames.
Chen Yile took this opportunity and quickly jumped away. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was secretly frightened.
"This Taotie not only has amazing defense, but also extremely fast attack speed. We must find its weakness."
"Its movements were slow for a moment when it was eating!" Lin Feihong suddenly remembered the scene when Taotie was swallowing the stone just now.
"Maybe we can attack it while it's eating!"
"Let's give it a try!" Chen Yile nodded, and he swung his sword again, while signaling Lin Qingyao and Lin Feihong to look for opportunities to cooperate in the attack.
Taotie roared again and rushed towards the three people, its huge figure rampaging in the cave.
Each blow was carried with incredible force, easily breaking the surrounding stone pillars and sending debris flying.
Chen Yile fought with Taotie for several rounds. His body was agile and he dodged the Taotie's deadly mouth several times.
However, the attack effect was not significant.
At this moment, Taotie grabbed a huge stone, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to chew it.
At this moment, its movements were indeed a little slow.
"Now!" Lin Feihong and Lin Qingyao launched an attack at the same time.
Lin Feihong threw the dagger in his hand at high speed, piercing Taotie's eyes.
The dagger flashed with dark red runic light and pierced Taotie's left eye accurately.
Taotie let out a shrill roar and shook his head in pain.
