Chapter 101: Strange Blood River
This long river radiated a bloody light, and from time to time lightning slashed down from the sky, blowing up a large splash of water. And it was so wide that it lay in front of it, as if it had split the world in half, and only through this long river could it reach the other side.
The two of them flew rapidly on the ground, gradually approaching the river, only to find that there were some skeletons in the river that were sinking and floating, although they had been dead for many years, there was still a faint spiritual light flashing on the surface of the skeletons, obviously these people were extremely powerful monks in their lives.
"Although in the past, if you want to enter the second layer of the Realm King Divine Temple, you have to pass through a moat, but I didn't expect it to appear this time!" Xu Yang's face was a little ugly.
"What is the origin of this river?" Xia Mu asked, the jade slip provided to him by Feng Qingyun did not record the origin of this river.
"This river is very weird, some people say that all the strong people of this holy dynasty were unwilling to die after their deaths, and they were not extinguished, and finally turned into this blood river, and some people say that the entire thirteenth layer of heaven is the body of the emperor of the holy dynasty, and this blood river is a vein in his body, and the blood has never dried up for so many years, and it is still flowing. ”
"Where does it go?" Xia Mu's heart jumped, feeling that although the second statement was very mysterious, it was not necessarily unreliable.
"I don't know, there were people who walked along this river of blood for three months, but they didn't reach the end of this river until the Tower of Ten Thousand Realms closed and was teleported. Xu Yang shook his head and said.
According to Xu Yang, not only does this river of blood have no end, but there are many mysterious horrors hidden in the river, just knowing that there is the power of that strange curse, and some people have also seen the floating skeletons in the river crawl ashore.
"Those skeletons can still move?" Xia Mu felt a little numb in his scalp, because there were not one or two skeletons floating in the blood river, and in just a while, dozens of skeletons flowed in front of the two of them, drifting into the distance with the blood river.
"It's not just energy, I've heard that many of them have given birth to spiritual intelligence, but these are all rumors, and I don't know if it's true. Xu Yang said irresponsibly.
It is said that these bones are also a kind of treasure, almost a little of the material is a strong spiritual weapon, and the powerful is comparable to the spiritual treasure, it is the best material for refining the spiritual treasure, if you can fish out of it, the value is incalculable.
Of course, the most likely outcome is that you will die with a curse, or you will be resurrected and dragged into the depths of the river of blood.
"Is there a bridge on this blood river?, otherwise how can we get there?" Xia Mu asked.
"Naturally, I flew over, but there was a ban on the river surface, and I could only get three feet above the ground at most, and no matter how high it was, it would trigger those thunderbolts. Xu Yang explained.
Xia Mu frowned, did not speak, but took out a lower grade spirit sword from the Qiankun bag and threw it directly into the river, but a terrible thing happened, the lower grade spirit sword was submerged in the river water, almost in the blink of an eye, it was corroded and melted into a pool of silver liquid, mixed with blood and sank to the bottom of the river.
This result surprised the two of them, not to mention the other dangers hidden in the river, but the strong corrosive ability of the river itself is not something that ordinary people can bear.
As time passed, more and more sect disciples appeared on the banks of the Blood River, gathering together in twos and threes.
"The Realm King Temple must be on the other side of the Blood River, let's fly over first. "A core disciple of a certain Great Sect was wearing flying spirit boots at his feet, and he instantly rose into the air and rushed into the void above the Blood River.
A terrifying scene happened, the void was like the abyss of death, and before the Great Sect disciples who entered it could let out a scream, their whole bodies began to tremble violently, and then their skin began to turn yellow and black, as if they had encountered the most terrible thing.
Soon, the flesh and blood of this Great Sect disciple began to melt, turning into blood and flowing into the blood river, leaving only a white skeleton floating on the surface of the river, following the blood river into the distance.
Curse!
Xia Mu was sure that this was a curse within the Blood River, but he didn't expect that even the void above the Blood River had been affected by the power of the curse and became no longer safe.
"Unexpectedly, the power of the curse has drifted into the air, and it seems that the colorful soul-destroying lamp we grabbed earlier can come in handy. Seeing that the Great Sect disciple was instantly turned into a pool of blood by the power of the curse, Xu Yang also had a somewhat ugly face.
"Colorful Soul Destroying Lamp?" Xia Mu was stunned at first, and then reacted, and with a flip of his palm, he took out a palm-sized bronze ancient lamp from the Qiankun bag, which was one of the ten treasures he had won in the bronze hall before.
Seeing Xia Mu take out the bronze ancient lamp, Xu Yang explained: "This colorful soul extinguishing lamp is not at the grade, it belongs to one of the strange things of heaven and earth, and one of the effects is to block the erosion of the power of the curse, so in the bronze hall before, even if I was surrounded and killed by the three of Han Xiaotian, I didn't choose to escape, I just wanted to fight, in case this blood river appeared on the second layer, it could be regarded as a little dependent, but I didn't expect it to be really guessed by me." ”
While the two were talking, the number of people on the banks of the Blood River had exceeded a hundred, and they were still growing rapidly.
"Xu Yang, Xia Mu!"
Two figures swept over, it was Tang Lei of the Tang State and Qin Yu of the Qin State.
Xia Mu asked, "Two, have you ever met Bo Ya from our Qiankun Holy Academy?"
Hearing this, Tang Lei shook his head: "How complicated is the passage of the first layer of the Emperor's Tomb, the two of us are lucky, we encountered it not long after I teleported in, as for the others, it is estimated that they are not as lucky as us, maybe Bo Ya has also come out, but this blood river meanders for countless miles, it is estimated that the direction in which he appeared is not on our side." ”
Qin Yu nodded in agreement.
"Xue Lingyun also came out!" Xu Yang on the side suddenly spoke in a deep voice, and everyone looked at him in line of sight, only to see a woman wearing a purple palace dress and a veil floating in the air, and around him, no one dared to approach, this is the powerful deterrent power of the five hundred and seventeenth ranking on the list, and no one dares to underestimate such a woman.
Immediately afterwards, after Xue Lingyun, as if an appointment had been made, Yu Zongzhe, who was ranked 555 on the person list, Li Yan, who was ranked 561 on the person list, and Jun Haochen, who was ranked 693 on the person list, appeared in this area one after another.
As soon as several people were the Tianjiao of the sects of various domains, the top masters on the list, as soon as they appeared, the disciples of the sects of various domains and states spontaneously gathered around them. And those state disciples who didn't even have a single list master were more embarrassed, so they could only hug each other, and in the end they became the group with the largest number of people here.
When Jun Haochen first appeared, he first glanced at Xia Mu with resentment in his eyes, and then he was surrounded by monks from Tianzhou and occupied a high ground on the shore.
"What did you do to him?" Qin Yu, who noticed Jun Haochen's gaze, glanced at Xia Mu strangely.
Hearing this, Xia Mu was also puzzled: "Maybe I had a little fight with him when I first entered the first layer of the tomb, but I don't think this person is the kind of person with a small amount of energy!"
How did he know the misery that Jun Haochen encountered along the way after fighting and separating from him, almost all the tomb passages he teleported into along the way had been patronized by his predecessors, and he didn't gain much until the second layer of the Realm King Temple was opened, and the beginning of all this happened after parting ways with Xia Mu, so Jun Haochen automatically put the blame on Xia Mu.
If Xia Mu knew what Jun Haochen was thinking at this time, he could only smile bitterly.
Another half an hour had passed, and the number of people on the banks of the Blood River had reached more than a thousand, except for the occasional one or two people who came, basically all the people nearby had already arrived.
"It seems that except for our side and those disciples of the sect who have fallen, the rest of the people should gather in other parts of this river. Tang Lei glanced at everyone present and found that more than half of the masters who entered the Ten Thousand Realms Tower were not here.
Qin Yu said: "The first layer of this emperor's tomb is too big, no one knows where it will be teleported, our side is not bad, at least thousands of people have gathered, and it is estimated that there will be a few hundred people in other places." ”
"I hope they are all safe!" Xia Mu said silently in his heart.
Another half an hour passed, and no one came, and then there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, it turned out that Xue Lingyun and the disciples of the various sects of the Great Desert Region were the first to step into the void range of the Blood River.
Above the heads of these people, a golden bead emitted a golden Buddha light, enveloping more than a dozen sect disciples in the Great Desert Domain, forming a golden air cover.
It can be seen that at the edge of this golden air cover, a trace of black evil qi hovers on the surface of the golden air shield like a maggot on the tarsal bone. Obviously, the golden bead also has the power to block the curse of the blood river, but I don't know if this bead was obtained by Xue Lingyun in the emperor's tomb or a talisman treasure given by his sect.
And seeing that the people in the Great Desert Region had begun to cross the river, the leaders of other states and regions also sacrificed their own talisman treasures, or spirit runes, or pills, or Buddha beads, etc., and rose into the air one by one, rushing into the sky above the Blood River.
In the blink of an eye, there were only a few hundred people left on the banks of the River of Blood.
"Let's go too!" Xia Mu held the colorful soul extinguishing lamp, urging the spiritual power in his body to infuse it. Suddenly, the flame on the wick of the seven-colored soul-destroying lamp burned more and more violently, and the flames changed into colorful colors in an instant, and spread outward like water waves, faintly enveloping the four of them in it.
Whew!
The four of them rose into the air and began to fly across the Blood River with the remnants of the Dao Dao in mid-air.
"What a cold breath. ”
As soon as they entered the void above the river of blood, everyone felt a chill all over their bodies, and their scalps were cold.
Xia Mu urged the spiritual power in his body and continuously injected it into the colorful soul-destroying lamp to ensure that the lamp was not extinguished. It can be seen that at the feet of the four people, about two or three feet away, the scarlet water in the blood river is constantly rolling, and there are wisps of black evil qi emerging from it, floating in the void, sometimes condensing into human faces with sad faces, and wandering in the sky above the blood river with a rudimentary laughter.
"Be careful, the curse on the surface of this river is getting stronger. Xia Mu reminded the three of them loudly.
As the distance between the few people and the center of the blood river continued to close, the evil qi floating above the river surface became more and more, almost forming a thin layer of black mist.
It was at this moment that a terrible scream came from the team in front of him, and he saw that a black bone claw suddenly stretched out from the blood river, and grabbed a disciple of the sect in Canghai Prefecture, not afraid of the Buddha light on his body, and pulled it into the blood river between breaths, drowning in the boiling river.
"Be careful!" Almost not long after the disciple's screams came, under the feet of Xia Mu and the four of them, the blood rolled violently, and a pitch-black shadow suddenly appeared.
