Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 789 - 787: Falling into the Trap

Yang Yinhou naturally knew Ge Dongxu was formidable, but he still hesitated upon hearing his words.

"Senior brother, rest assured, I have now broken through to the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer." Seeing that Yang Yinhou still hesitated and felt uneasy, Ge Dongxu had no choice but to lean into his ear and whisper.

"You..." Yang Yinhou's eyes bulged in surprise at the words, followed immediately by a burst of ecstatic joy. He said, "Haha, then go, go."

Ge Dongxu smiled, then gestured to Gan Lei with a wave of his hand.

"Master Ge!" Gan Lei hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Follow my senior brother's instructions in everything!" Ge Dongxu ordered.

"Yes!" Gan Lei responded, standing at attention.

Ge Dongxu nodded, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "I am clear about rewards and punishments. You did well this time, if I gain anything from this trip, I won't treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, Master Ge!" Gan Lei's face showed surprise and appreciation at the words.

Ge Dongxu nodded again, bid farewell to Yang Yinhou with a few words, then with an empty bag on his back, leaped up and was gone, disappearing into the vast jungle in a few bounds.

He made his way down from the mountainside to the valley.

Plentiful rainfall gave rise to a dense forest.

Looking down from the mountain, the valley seemed just beneath the eyelid, like a long narrow green belt, but once descending into the valley, one could only see the patchy blue sky obscured by tall trees, the thick trunks that stretched continuously ahead, sprawling green vines, and the damp rotting leaves underfoot. In the thick of it, one felt exceedingly small.

Only with a wealth of experience living in the jungle could one avoid getting lost.

Ge Dongxu's Divine Sense spread through the jungle like vines on the ground and tree trunks, extending continuously.

As he explored with his Divine Sense, Ge Dongxu moved through the jungle like a specter among the dense foliage.

As he weaved through, he couldn't help recalling the glorious achievements his senior brother had made in the jungle years ago, gradually realizing why his senior brother had been able to annihilate two fully armed Japanese squads with only the power of the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer.

For magicians proficient in Wood System Techniques, such a terrain was their perfect battlefield.

Soon, a massive pit appeared suddenly before Ge Dongxu's eyes.

Standing on the edge of the pit, he looked down to see that it was shrouded in fog, with very low visibility. Without special tools, it was impossible to ascertain the true depth of the pit.

Obviously, without tools like ropes, it was impossible for average people to reach the bottom.

Even with ropes, there was a high probability that ordinary people could not reach the bottom.

Because in known pits that have been discovered and explored by people, they are far more than just holes; they are more than just rock caves. Inside them are various unknown underground creatures, some of which are quite dangerous.

This pit had never been explored by humans before, and it was located in a valley rainforest where few people ventured. The dangers hidden within were undoubtedly significant, not least among these potential threats would be poisonous snakes and scorpions and the like.

These venomous creatures lurking in the deep pits, hiding in the darkness – the thought was enough to send shivers down the spine.

Ge Dongxu, though highly skilled and immensely brave, now faced the smoke-filled, bottomless Sky Pit, his face etched with an unprecedented gravity, as his hand reached to his neck to draw the Life and Death Dual Aspects Peach Wood Sword.

Quietly clenching the Life and Death Dual Aspects Sword in his palm, Ge Dongxu took a deep breath and with a light tap of his toes, he drifted into the Sky Pit like a piece of dandelion fluff.

As soon as he jumped into the Sky Pit, the scene inside became much clearer.

A chilly airstream flowed upward from the depths of the Sky Pit, carrying with it strands of pure Five Element Spiritual Energy, which left Ge Dongxu both astonished and secretly delighted.

A place with drifting spiritual energy was always better than one that was merely gloomy and dark.

Controlling the flow of his True Qi, Ge Dongxu's body continued to float down like dandelion fluff.

As he descended, Ge Dongxu noticed that the diameter of the hole inside was increasing, and not only that, the walls were not smooth but were laid out in layers. If there were a geologist present, they would probably be able to deduce the history of the Earth's crust movements from these geological layers.

Water seeped out from layer upon layer of rock walls, slowly streaming down, covered with green vines and creepers. Amongst those climbing plants, there was abundant life, mostly insects and various snakes.

Although Ge Dongxu descended from the air, these creatures seemed to detect this uninvited guest, rustling and scuttling about. Some snakes even "sissed" at Ge Dongxu, flickering their tongues, their eerie green eyes lighting up in the dark, which was enough to send shivers down anyone's spine.

Seeing this scene, Ge Dongxu sneered to himself. In such an environment, those Japanese with their level of Cultivation would likely become prey to these creatures before even reaching the bottom, not to mention his senior brother would also be in great danger were he to descend.

Because his senior brother was far from reaching the level where he could descend by Controlling Qi directly, without needing to use the rock walls.

He continued to float downward.

The further down he went, the more powerful the aura emitted by the poisonous creatures crawling on the rock walls, and Ge Dongxu even intuitively felt that some of the creatures seemed to have developed a hint of Spiritual Intelligence.

Furthermore, the deeper he went, the more concentrated the Five Element Spiritual Energy became.

When the diameter of the space below reached seven to eight hundred meters, not only could Ge Dongxu hear the sound of the underground water more clearly, but he could also see the bottom of the pit through the mist.

"I'm almost there!" In the darkness, a look of unprecedented solemnity swept across Ge Dongxu's face, as he cast his Divine Sense downward like a net.

However, his Divine Sense was greatly limited here.

With Ge Dongxu's powerful Divine Sense, he should be able to investigate thousands of meters, but here he could barely make out six or seven meters.

When Ge Dongxu tried to strengthen the intensity, his Divine Sense went out of his control and was swept away by a force.

Luckily, a range of six or seven meters was enough for Ge Dongxu to sense any dangerous creatures approaching and react in time.

In the end, his feet touched the ground.

This was an underground world as vast as nearly a hundred football fields.

Standing below and looking up, the mouth of the Sky Pit now looked like a small well, with light shining down from above, illuminating many dust and mist particles floating in the beam of light.

There were two stone caves, each about five or six meters tall, on either side of the underground world, pitch-black and impossible to see to the end.

An underground river divided the underground plaza in two, also connecting the two stone caves on either side.
