The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 124
Chapter 124 Underground Space
In such a strange place, without spiritual energy, their voices were weakened, pitch-black, and boundless dark space, could they really walk out alive?
Moreover, there was a living Heavenly Devil Ape that was hiding somewhere, and it was unknown when it would suddenly jump out.
If he encountered the Heavenly Devil Ape, he would undoubtedly die.
Although there was calm in front of him, Li Qing could see the unknown dangers and the difficult situation in the future.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He comforted, “Don’t be afraid, we still have a spatial ring. There are plenty of food and spirit stones in it, enough to replenish our livelihood. At the very least, it won’t be a problem for us to survive for a short period of time.”
“En!” Liu Ke’er nodded heavily. As long as she could follow Li Qing, she would feel at ease. Moreover, even if they were to die, the two of them would still die together. There was nothing to be regretful about.
“It’s so dark here. Why don’t we light a fire?” She suddenly said.
The fear of the unknown darkness was the most terrifying thing. Whenever there was a glimmer of light, it would always calm the hearts of the people.
Li Qing shook his head and said, “Don’t be anxious. We’ll talk about the situation first. There might be some danger. If we ignite the fire, we’ll expose ourselves and the danger may descend instantly.”
He raised his head to look into the depths of the darkness, his heart slightly uneasy.
In this desperate and deathly silent place, would there really be other creatures?
I hope not.
“Then what should we do now?” Liu Ke’er had no opinion at all. Everything depended on Li Qing’s idea.
Li Qing said, “I’ll check the surroundings and familiarize myself with the surroundings before making a decision.”
After saying that, he squatted down and stretched out his hand to stroke it. He found that the ground was covered in rubble and nothing else, not even weeds. It was desolate and deathly silent.
This made him frown. He didn’t even have any weeds? For countless years, could it be that no plant seed had drifted into the abyss?
Following that, he began to explore a radius of several hundred meters without discovering any living creatures at all. Not even an ant.
It was as if all life was forbidden here, just like a desert.
There was no sunlight, no spiritual energy, no aura of life.
“Sigh, I can’t find anything.” Li Qing couldn’t help but stand up and shook his head with a bitter smile, “Since we can’t find out, then let’s light a fire. Perhaps I’m being too thoughtful.”
He took out the item that ignited the fire from his interspatial ring and lit the fire, instantly illuminating the darkness.
However, they were stunned to discover that the light of the fire was extremely dim.
“How is that possible? Why is it like this?” Li Qing and Liu Ke’er were extremely shocked. The flames from so many fuels were actually only as bright as the original candles.
The two of them exchanged glances and saw astonishment in each other’s eyes. The world was so big that even light could be weakened. It was truly worthy of being called the Eternal Demon Abyss, the place where the two great demons were suppressed.
“The sound and light have been weakened, and there is no spiritual energy in the slightest. I wonder if the loss of energy in our bodies has increased as well.” Li Qing couldn’t help but say.
Liu Ke’er reacted, “That’s right, it’s just energy loss! If you don’t tell me, I don’t even realize that my stomach is already so hungry!”
Li Qing couldn’t help but smile bitterly. This living environment was too harsh. The chances of surviving were very slim.
However, being able to live for a while was considered temporary. Being able to live was already very satisfying. At the very least, he could spend more time with Liu Ke’er.
“Then fill your stomach first. Regardless of whether the energy loss is fast or slow, at least the food in the interspatial ring is still very plentiful. There is no need to worry for a short period of time.” As Li Qing spoke, he took out a piece of beast meat from his interspatial ring and roasted it in the fire.
The temperature of the fire had dropped drastically, and it was not easy to roast the beast meat. It took Li Qing twice as long as before to successfully roast the meat.
Moreover, the temperature was not high, and the roasted meat was not fragrant. The taste was much worse than before, which made Li Qing very unsatisfied.
However, they were at least familiar with it. In such an environment, they could not ask for anything higher.
They were already hungry, and when the barbecue was cooked, they immediately began to eat, ignoring their image.
A moment later, they were full, recovering their strength, lying on the ground, hiccupping, so lazy that they didn’t even want to move.
In this boundless darkness, there was only this weak fire and the indescribable loneliness and desolation of the two people lying on the ground.
“I’m covered in blood. It’s so uncomfortable. I really want to find a place to take a bath.” Liu Ke’er lay down for a while and complained.
Li Qing thought for a moment, then sat up and said, “Let me see how much water is stored in the spatial ring.”
“I’m afraid there isn’t enough water,” he sighed. “Originally, I wanted to get some water to bathe you, but now I’m afraid it won’t work. We need to save some for drinking.”
Liu Ke’er rolled her eyes and calculated. She took out the lunar sword and said proudly, “Have you forgotten? There is still this sword.”
Li Qing’s eyes lit up. He nodded and said, “That’s right, the Lunar Sword is extremely cold. It can condense water from the air. Now, there is no need to worry about drinking water.”
He took out a wooden basin and put the divine sword into it. Everything was settled. He smiled and said, “If other people knew that the divine sword of the Great Sword Sect was actually used to do this, they would probably die of anger.”
Liu Ke’er covered her mouth and chuckled. She was in a good mood, and the atmosphere immediately became lively. In this boundless cold darkness, it turned into a single wisp of warmth.
I wonder if this Devil Abyss is too strange, or what, the speed at which the divine sword condensed water has actually slowed down by a lot.
Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick.
This was the sound of droplets of water dripping into the wooden basin.
After an unknown amount of time, half a basin of water condensed inside. Liu Ke’er said, “In this kind of place, it’s impossible to really take a bath. It’s better to just wipe off the blood stains on your body with a wet cloth.”
Li Qing glanced at it and said, “There’s already half a basin of this water. You should use it first.”
“Yes.” Liu Ke’er nodded and blushed, “You have to turn around. Don’t peek.”
Li Qing immediately turned around and didn’t dare to look again.
He only heard rustling sounds, knowing that it was the sound of stripping, and then he heard the sound of water, and the sound of wiping.
Hearing these voices, he couldn’t help but imagine Liu Ke’er wiping her body. He couldn’t help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.
The atmosphere was somewhat charming, and Li Qing’s mouth was somewhat dry.
At this moment, perhaps she was stripping naked and standing behind him naked… If she turned around, wouldn’t she be able…
Thinking of this, his blood boiled and his bloodline opened.
“Now that I’m naked, don’t turn around. Otherwise, you’ll be a beast!” Liu Ke’er’s voice sounded behind her, soft and full of charm.
Li Qing’s entire body trembled as he took a deep breath. The hot blood in his heart gradually calmed down.
Liu Ke’er trusted him so much, how could he do something like a beast? No, you must endure it.
Thus, he forcefully suppressed the desire in his heart and forced himself not to think about that matter. He couldn’t let down Liu Ke’er’s trust!
After an unknown amount of time, Liu Ke’er finally finished cleaning. Li Qing couldn’t help but feel relieved and let out a sigh of relief.
Finally, he endured it.
“Alright, it’s your turn. You can wash up.” Liu Ke’er pushed the wooden basin to Li Qing, and for some reason, her tone carried a trace of resentment.
“Alright, you can also turn around. Don’t peek.” Li Qing said.
“Who wants to peek at you, a grown man, taking a bath?” Liu Ke’er muttered softly before turning her head away.
Li Qing was very relieved. As a grown man, there was indeed nothing worth peeping at. Without any hesitation, he took off his clothes and put the wet cloth into the water. After screwing it dry, he began to clean up the blood stains and filth on his body.
Not long after, Liu Ke’er turned her head and asked, “Are you ready?”
Li Qing was shocked and almost knocked over the wooden basin. He stammered, “You … why did you turn around? You saw everything!”
Liu Ke’er curled her lips and said, “So what if we see all of them? There’s nothing to see. Besides, we’re already husband and wife. What’s there to be embarrassed about?”
She said this nonchalantly, but her eyes were fixed on a certain part of Li Qing, her eyes filled with curiosity.
“Look!” Li Qing hurriedly covered the important parts, “How dare you? If I had known I was peeking at you just now, I would have suffered a huge loss.”
Liu Ke’er’s face flushed red as she spat, “Who told you to be so timid? I told you not to look, but you really didn’t? Now that you’ve lost, you can’t blame me.”
For some reason, when Li Qing heard her words, a certain part of her body was shamelessly… hard.
