Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 723 - 711: Down the Well!

Chapter 723: Chapter 711: Down the Well!

Trees, wild grass, even forests teeming with demon beasts—all of these made the ancient well that suddenly appeared ahead give off an odd feeling.

Murong Kang, seeing the ancient well in front of him, excitedly increased his pace to a sprint, charging straight towards the well.

"Senior brother, wait up a moment!" At that moment, Tiant Qingqing, who had been left behind, hurriedly called out to Murong Kang.

Hearing Tiant Qingqing’s call, Murong Kang halted in his steps and turned around. However, his brow furrowed with impatience as he said to Tiant Qingqing, "Junior sister, what is it now? I’ve noticed you’ve been acting strange recently, always so jittery. You weren’t like this before. What’s going on with you?"

"Senior.. Senior brother, haven’t you noticed? It’s too quiet here—unnaturally so," said Tiant Qingqing.

"Quiet, unnaturally?" Upon hearing Tiant Qingqing’s words, Murong Kang’s brow furrowed even more deeply, and gradually, he too noticed the peculiar silence in this area.

They had previously heard the roars of demon beasts from afar and the chirping of insects, but here, they could no longer hear anything. It was as if they were in a small world of its own, eerily silent, the quietude itself somewhat sinister!

Then, Murong Kang turned back around, gazing once more at the ancient well ahead.

At this time, Tiant Qingqing walked up beside Murong Kang and said, "Senior brother, I just have this weird feeling, and I can’t shake off this unease. Maybe, maybe we shouldn’t approach that well. I’m afraid it could be dangerous."

"No, junior sister!" Murong Kang once again began to speak, his face lighting up with excitement as he faced the well, "Junior sister, oh junior sister, if this area is indeed unusual, that only makes the ancient well all the more extraordinary! We should definitely investigate it; who knows, perhaps a heaven-defying opportunity awaits us at this very well!"

"But, senior brother..."

Tiant Qingqing wanted to continue, but Murong Kang cut her off, "Junior sister, you’ve really changed! I understand your concern about the danger, but if we cower at every turn, how will we ever find opportunities? How can we grow stronger?

In this world, which man doesn’t want to achieve greatness, which man doesn’t want to stand tall above all, admired by all?

If we become powerful, then if we have children in the future, we can ensure that they are born into an extraordinary life!"

"My child!" Tiant Qingqing murmured after hearing Murong Kang’s words. This time, she did not object further, but inadvertently, she glanced down at her belly.

The child—little did the senior brother know, I already carry our child. Lately, ever since I fell pregnant, I have indeed become different from before, and he keeps saying I’m being neurotic.

But... but isn’t it just because I hope for us to be safe and sound?

Murong Kang said no more. At that moment, his expression turned exceptionally resolute, and he steadfastly made his way towards the ancient well!

"Opportunity! A great opportunity! I will grow stronger; I will make the world look up to Murong Kang!" Murong Kang clenched his fists, his body beginning to tremble slightly as he whispered to himself.

..

In another part of the dense jungle, Shi Feng, Yue Shaochong, and Dark Evil were also standing before an ancient well. Although they were in a different area, if Murong Kang and Tiant Qingqing had been there, they would have realized, astonishingly, that this well was identical in style to the one they had seen!

Dark Evil had discovered this well while previously searching through the jungle, subsequently informing Shi Feng, who hurried over as soon as he received the message.

At this moment, the two men and the Corpse Emperor looked down into the well. The world inside was pitch-black. Even Shi Feng couldn’t see anything in the well with his vision, and his Soul Power couldn’t penetrate it either.

"Below this, something extraordinary must surely lie, perhaps a heaven-defying opportunity awaits us down there!" Yue Shaochong excitedly said as he gazed at the well.

In his mind’s eye, Supreme Techniques! Supreme Divine Artifacts! Supreme Secret Treasures! had already surfaced.

He pictured himself emerging from the well, standing proudly in the Void, looking down upon all the mighty beings of the world!

"Let’s go, everyone be careful," Shi Feng said. With a leap, he dove into the dark depths of the ancient well.

Following him, Dark Evil and Yue Shaochong also quickly jumped in. Unlike the other group, there were no pregnant women among them, so their actions were more direct and straightforward!

As Shi Feng entered the well, he found himself in total darkness. With a "boom," he manipulated his right hand, igniting the Nine Nether Fire.

Yet, the Nine Nether Fire, which should have been a pale white flame in the palm of his hand, was invisible to Shi Feng. Everything remained pitch-black, as if he had gone blind.

Suddenly, with another "boom," the Sacred Flame was ignited in Shi Feng’s right hand. But, like the Nine Nether Fire, the Sacred Flame was also unseen in this dark space, as if Shi Feng’s vision had been completely blocked.

Without dwelling too much on it, Shi Feng extinguished both flames and continued to feel his body steadily descending, remaining alert, prepared to face any imminent dangers.

With a "splash," it sounded as though a water surface was broken; Shi Feng’s feet landed on what appeared to be a body of water, causing water to splash everywhere.

However, at this moment, the scene before Shi Feng was no longer pitch-black. Even though it was still dim without any light, using Shi Feng’s sight, he could make out the environment around him.

It looked like an underground passage. The water channel underfoot, like a shallow stream, reached only up to the back of Shi Feng’s feet and flowed slowly.

"Splash! Splash!" Right behind him, two more watery sounds followed as Yue Shaochong and Dark Evil also arrived in quick succession, kicking up more splashes.

Shi Feng began to carefully survey this environment. Not far ahead of where he stood was a rock wall, which already blocked their path. Turning around, he saw a passage with no end in sight, and the water beneath their feet was slowly moving in that direction.

Then, without needing to say anything, Shi Feng naturally started walking towards the seemingly endless way ahead, with Dark Evil and Yue Shaochong following behind in succession.

As the three of them walked, they continued to scrutinize their surroundings. However, just as they had taken only a dozen steps, a pained scream suddenly erupted from Yue Shaochong’s mouth: "Ah! My foot! My foot! Ah!"

The pain was so intense that Yue Shaochong even jumped up.

"Huh? What’s going on?" Hearing Yue Shaochong’s cry of pain, Shi Feng immediately turned around, and at that moment, he saw a black creature the size of a fingertip attached to the sole of Yue Shaochong’s right foot!
