Reborn as an abandoned daughter, she became a stunning genius

"That's a pity." Ling Chuge looked regretful on the surface, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

After eating, the two of them went back to their rooms to rest without saying much.

After closing the door, Jiang Ning sat on the bed to practice. Recently, she felt that she had vaguely touched the threshold of the sixth level of the spiritual body. Tomorrow she would go to the sinkhole to do the task. The more strength she had, the more protection she would have. Tonight, she would break through to the sixth level of the spiritual body in one go. layer.

Early the next morning, the village chief came and knocked on the door.

"Two immortals, are you ready?"

"Okay." Jiang Ning and Ling Chuge pushed open the door.

"lets go."

The village chief took Jiang Ning and the two of them up the mountain, and they walked for two hours before they saw the sinkhole.

Visual inspection shows that the sinkhole is about half the size of the monastery.

The sinkhole is very high and surrounded by smooth rock walls. The only way down is the rope tied by the villagers.

"Is this the sinkhole where people disappeared?" Ling Chuge stood on the edge of the sinkhole and looked at it, having a clear view of the scene below.

From the outside, there is nothing weird about it.

"Many people have disappeared here. Immortal elders must be careful." the village chief warned.

"We will be careful. Thank you very much, village chief, for bringing us here. You can go back first and we will go down by ourselves." Jiang Ning said.

"Okay, then I'll go back." The village chief responded.

After the village chief left, Jiang Ning came to the rope tied by the villagers and pulled hard to make sure it was firm.

"Senior Brother Ling, I'll go ahead to explore the way. Remember to follow me." Jiang Ning said to Ling Chuge.

Ling Chuge looked at the bottom of the sinkhole and nodded, "Yeah."

After saying that, Jiang Ning grabbed the rope with both hands and slowly climbed down.

With the blessing of spiritual power, Jiang Ning climbed easily.

After a while, I climbed halfway.

Seeing that the distance was almost there, Ling Chuge also grabbed the rope and set off.

After the two of them went down to the sinkhole, Jiang Ning's expression remained as usual, but Ling Chuge had consumed almost half of his physical strength because he had no spiritual power.

Standing at the bottom of the sinkhole, you can vaguely see the scene above the sinkhole through the gaps between the branches.

"Where are we going now?" Ling Chuge wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked.

Jiang Ning looked around, and weeds as tall as a person almost blocked his entire field of vision.Leaving a branch aside and pushing aside the weeds, Jiang Ning said, "Let's first look for any traces of the missing persons."

"Then let's search separately. If we find anything, call each other." Ling Chuge said.

"Okay, but Senior Brother Ling, you have to be careful. There should be wolf-like animals living here, which is very dangerous." Jiang Ning warned.

"Yeah." Ling Chuge nodded, then picked up a branch, pushed aside the grass and started searching.

The two spent a whole day searching the bottom of the sinkhole, but found nothing.

In addition to the missing people, many disciples from Chuwu Academy have also been here. Logically speaking, they should at least leave some traces.

But this place is like a primitive jungle without any trace of human activity.

At the end of the day, the two of them had a clear grasp of the topography of the sinkhole.

The entire sinkhole is circular, and there are a lot of weeds growing on the edge, which is close to the cliff. The closer to the center, the higher the terrain, and the sparser the weeds.

The sky was getting dark and the night fog was rising. Jiang Ning and Ling Chuge lit a fire in a place with few weeds.

Sitting around the fire, the two discussed the day's harvest.

"Don't talk about animals that look like wolves. I haven't seen even a bird the whole day." Ling Chuge said.

"Me too, I didn't see any animals." Jiang Ning said.

"Could it be that the scroll was written in the wrong place?" Ling Chuge guessed.

Jiang Ning shook his head and looked around, "The place is right, there should be something weird here."

"The village chief said that this sinkhole appeared overnight, but now it looks like the bottom of the sinkhole obviously didn't form overnight, so there is only one possibility." Ling Chuge analyzed, "This sinkhole has actually always been there, it's just The villagers didn’t notice.”

"Brother, are you saying that this tiankeng was hidden by the formation barrier before? Two years ago, due to some accidents, the tiankeng's barrier disappeared, causing the villagers to discover it." Jiang Ning followed Ling Chuge. said the guess.

"As of now, this is the most likely possibility." Ling Chuge said.

"A barrier that can cover the entire sinkhole. The strength of the person who set up this barrier must be unfathomable." Jiang Ning said.

"But where did those missing people go? I searched all over and couldn't find them. They couldn't be buried. They didn't leave any traces." Ling Chuge scratched his hair.

"Shush, Senior Brother Ling, listen!" Jiang Ning suddenly put his index finger to his lips and made a shushing gesture.

Ling Chuge listened attentively.

In the silence of the night, it was as if a pin dropped could be heard clearly.

In the distance, there was a strange sound.

"Kaka..." "Kaka..."

"Crack..."

"What is that sound?" Ling Chuge asked in a low voice.

Jiang Ning shook his head. The sound was very strange. It was like the sound of people walking neatly and the sound of human bones.

"This sound seems to be getting closer and closer to us." Ling Chuge said.

Jiang Ning turned around and looked around. The night fog was thick, which reduced the visibility. But Jiang Ning was faintly hidden in the night fog and discovered a little bit of strange blue light.

Those blue lights seemed to be approaching them.

"Senior Brother Ling, please don't make a sound."

Jiang Ning immediately put out the fire and hid in a tree with Ling Chuge.

When Jiang Ning lifted him up the tree by his collar like a puppy, Ling Chuge was about to explode.

"You..." Before Ling Chuge could say anything, Jiang Ning covered his mouth.

"Shh!" Jiang Ning gave Ling Chuge a look and blocked the rest of Ling Chuge's words.

The two of them were hiding in a tree. Because the branches were too thin, they were so close that Ling Chuge could even see Jiang Ning's slender eyelashes.

Ling Chuge's thoughts couldn't help but drift away.

Why is this boy's eyelashes so long? He looks like a woman.

But this boy does look like a woman, and he had admitted it wrong before.

If you look closely, you will see that this brat is not bad looking. No wonder he is so popular in the academy, but he is still a bit inferior to me.

No, this kid actually dared to cover his mouth!And he even lifted him up a tree!This is really unreasonable!

Ling Chuge struggled slightly, and Jiang Ning immediately covered him tighter. In order to prevent Ling Chuge from moving, Jiang Ning directly clamped Ling Chuge's hands and pressed him against the tree.

This action brought the two people closer, so close that Ling Chuge could even faintly smell the fragrance of Jiang Ning's body and hear Jiang Ning's subtle breathing.

Being pinned against the tree by Jiang Ning in such an intimate position, Ling Chuge's mind couldn't control his thoughts.

Junior brother, what are you doing?He wouldn't be interested in me!

No, no, we are both men!

But I seem to have heard others say before that some men just like men.

If she really wants to do something evil to me, should I resist?But I can’t seem to beat her now.

Ling Chuge's thoughts drifted away uncontrollably, and his cheeks gradually became hot.
