Through the only crack, Lin Ran looked towards the inside, but just as his eyes were pressed against the crack, suddenly there was a flash of red light within the entire crack, followed by a huge electric current instantly slashing towards his eyes.
“Holy Sh*t!”
Lin Ran was startled by this sudden movement, and was busy dodging it with a side-step.
He then saw that a lightning bolt visible to the naked eye had actually struck out from the tiny crack.
If he had not dodged quickly, I am afraid that his eyes would have been struck blind in that instant.
At this moment, Lin Ran couldn’t help but feel a pang of fear in his chest. If he had been slow to react, I am afraid that he would have become a one-eyed dragon.
Thinking of this, Lin Ran’s heart could not help but rise up with a nameless fire!
But this rock wall hadn’t been completely broken open yet, and he didn’t even know what the lightning shooting out of it or the red light he had just seen was, which undoubtedly made him extremely stifled.
“Let’s go and explore first!”
Lin Ran put his heart into it and immediately sent a wisp of his divine sense in to check it out.
The divine sense quickly seeped through the crack and followed by the situation inside surfaced in front of Lin Ran’s eyes.
The entire huge rock ball was empty, but it was a bit dark inside and Lin Ran was not sure of the exact situation, but what made him different was that.
After his own divine sense entered this space, he didn’t see anything red.
“Why is it missing? Was that red light just now a thunderbolt?”
Lin Ran was astonished in his heart.
However, he did not find any strange red light in this space.
The space was dimly lit, so Lin Ran did not dare to probe too deep, and immediately withdrew his divine sense before continuing to start opening holes in other locations.
As the size of the rock layer above his head was limited, Lin Ran was afraid that if the hole he made was too large, it would cause the structure of the spherical space to become unstable and collapse, so he only made a second crack next to the first one, which could probably fit a person.
He soon made an opening in the rock wall above his head, and without delay, Lin Ran dug in directly, while blocking the opening with his backhand to avoid being discovered by outsiders.
Only after this was done did Lin Ran turn around and take a closer look at the situation inside the spherical space.
He saw that the entire spherical space was dimly lit, with only occasional bright lights appearing around it.
Lin Ran only took a general glance and guessed that these bright lights were the beast thunder released by the lightning eels outside when they attacked the huge sphere.
After those beastly thunderbolts were absorbed by the rock wall, they formed a flickering bright light in this space.
With this faint bright light, Lin Ran kept surveying the space around him, and gradually his eyes adjusted to the dimness of the place.
He saw that the whole space wasn’t big, but it definitely wasn’t small either, the distance between the front and back alone must have been five or six metres, and it was particularly dark in here, even with the constant flashes of lightning, Lin Ran’s visual range was very limited.
Lin Ran stayed here quietly for a few moments, seeing that there was indeed no weird red light appearing, before he slowly fished out two ores for illumination from his arms.
These ores were very bright, and had been used for illumination when they were in the mine before.
Lin Ran placed the two ores on each side, following which the entire space was instantly illuminated.
However, once the space was lit up, Lin Ran was a little unsettled.
He found that not far in front of him was a raised stone platform, and on it was a figure sitting with its back to him.
The figure was very thin and his clothes had collapsed, and even his body was densely covered with dust, and in some places his clothes appeared scorched, as if he had been burned by something.
“Senior!”
Lin Ran saw this man sitting motionless on the stone platform, and was busy arching his hand and saluting while saying.
“Senior has unintentionally discovered this place, please forgive me if I have offended you!”
Saying this Lin Ran was watching the other person’s movements.
However, what puzzled him was that the man didn’t have any reaction, he didn’t even raise his head.
Lin Ran felt puzzled, so he took a closer look, and at this glance his heart was instantly shocked.
For it was discovered that the figure’s exposed palms were actually withered bones!
“Could it be that it was already dead?”
Lin Ran’s heart twitched and he immediately walked around the figure to the side.
As soon as he reached the side Lin Ran was stunned, and as expected, the figure with its back to him was actually really a corpse.
Lin Ran saw that it appeared to be a middle-aged man, his entire body had been reduced to nothing but withered bones, and if he hadn’t been wrapped in clothes he was afraid that it would have been shattered long ago.
It was just the posture of this man that really made Lin Ran’s heart later.
This man was sitting cross-legged on a stone pillar, with obvious burn marks on his clothes in many places, while his arm was raised and he was pointing ahead as if he was an old man giving directions.
Lin Ran was amazed and looked up towards the front and was struck by the fact that not far in front of the corpse was a rock wall, which had obviously reached the end of the space.
But at this moment, on the rock wall, there were many words written in a dense manner.
These words were scribbled, obviously the other party had left them in a hurry in order to record something down.
Lin Ran fixed his eyes on them and quickly understood the story.
It turned out that the owner of the corpse in this space was called the Falling Sword Mortal! He was an elder of a great power called the Sword Pavilion.
According to the information left behind by this Falling Sword Mortal, this Sword Pavilion was very extraordinary and was a prestigious sect even in the Immortal World Continent.
Unfortunately, when he was away from home, he was seriously injured by an enemy and had no choice but to disappear here.
He wanted to take revenge after his injuries had healed, but he was attacked by a ma*sive attack of lightning eels here.
Originally, these eels were no threat to him, but the fault lay in the fact that he had come to this vein.
He could have recovered quickly from his injuries in the vein, but the fault lay in the vein, and he didn’t dare to use his true qi, otherwise he would have been blown to death if the vein was detonated.
The consequences of detonating such a long stretch of veins would be unimaginable.
The lightning eel’s attack was weak after all, so he gritted his teeth and looked for a place to hide while defending himself.
He had no choice but to burn his own essence to dissolve the surrounding ore in a rock wall and then form a separate space to hide from the attack of the eels.
Who knew that a red-coloured lightning eel in the group of lightning eels would pursue him, and then rush in when he was dissolving the rock wall?
That red eel seemed to be the leader of the eels.
As a result, he was imprisoned in his own space by the Falling Sword.
And so his nightmare began.
