Chapter 697 Exploring the East 2
Dora nodded, "Those townsfolk are amazing. More powerful than you. ”
A cloud of doubt rose in my heart: Dora was right. Putting aside the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, the fact that Dora alone could easily freeze the Holy Flame Knights was enough to prove that Dora had the power to sweep away thousands of troops. But they were almost forced to the point of extermination by the townspeople, and those townspeople had all reached the level of perfection?
When I looked at Dora, the latter said solemnly, "I know that this answer is hard for you to accept. I used to believe that every human being is as strong as they are. It wasn't until later, when someone inadvertently broke into the island, that I learned that not everyone is as powerful as the townspeople. ”
I muttered, "What about the people who went to the island?
"Yes!" Dora nodded, "they are all dead, sealed in ice by us, hidden underground, and sent into the ice cave by us like the first knights to follow you to the island." ”
Dora didn't wait for me to ask any more questions before continuing: "This is also Wang Zhan's order, he said that no one is allowed to leave the island except his heirs. ”
I couldn't help but frown. Dora turned forward again: "I've always wondered why Wang Zhan left such an order. I have also relented and wanted to let those innocent people go. But they came back quietly and came back to kill me. ”
Dora sneered, "Since then, I haven't relented. ”
As Dora spoke, she led us to a frozen glacier: "Going up this glacier is the forbidden place of demon corpses. ”
Dora paused slightly and said, "I only know that going up from here is your destination, as for how to go, I don't know, no one has approached the forbidden place since Wang Zhan left." Including me. ”
Dora looked back at me and said, "Go up on yourselves! Hope you all come back. ”
I raised an eyebrow and said, "I don't understand what you mean." ”
That's what it means literally. Dora said, "Someone has ever walked on this glacier, but no one has ever been able to walk down. Good luck to you!"
Dora said to go, without stopping to say another word, and disappeared into the snow in the blink of an eye.
I looked up at the glacier that meandered down from the top of the mountain, and from the width of the glacier alone, I could imagine the grandeur of its roar before it was frozen.
I looked at Ye Xun: "Does the Dao Sect use ice to suppress demons?"
Ye Xun shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know either...... It's hard to explain this kind of thing with Taoism......"
Ye Xun was groaning, and Ren Tianqing suddenly said, "Look at the ice under your feet...... There are people in the ice. ”
I scratched the snow with my foot, and sure enough, I saw a group of Westerners in ancient costumes sealed under the ice.
The corpses under the ice, dressed in uniform and holding candles, marched up the mountain in an orderly manner, the leader of whom was shrouded in sacrificial robes and held a broken wooden stick in his hand.
A layer of pebbles could be faintly seen at the feet of the crowd. It seems that they must have been frozen in the river during some kind of ritual.
I tentatively walked a few steps forward, and boulders began to appear on both sides of the river that were as flat as stone monuments.
Ren Tianqing said in a trembling voice: "Wang Huan, you see...... Look at the stones on both sides, it doesn't look like a tomb that has been split. ”
Ren Tianqing was right, the boulders on both sides of the river were like tombs that had been split through the middle with a sharp sword.
My eyes swept over the rocks like lightning, and suddenly I heard a piercing scream in the distance. Like the sound of a wolf howling, like a ghost flying around the river, the boulders by the river exploded, and the stone skin like snowflakes fell in the wind, dyeing the snow with a layer of dark yellow in a moment, and strange pictures also appeared on the stone tablet.
"Wordless Heavenly Book?" Ye Xun took two steps closer to the stone tablet: "Huanzi, look at what is painted on it?
"Don't look at that painting!" I suddenly grabbed Ye Xun by the shoulder and forcibly pulled him aside: "Don't look at anything, that painting can be charming." ”
The pictures on the stele have only simple lines, which look like stick figures in the shape of a person, but once they fall into the eyes of others, those lines seem to be ever-changing, and people can no longer take their eyes off them at a glance.
When Ye Xun and I turned around at the same time, Ren Tianqing also stood with us with a pale face, and said in a trembling voice with his back to the river: "No, I don't dare to turn around, as soon as I turn around, I want to look at the stone tablet." ”
Before I could speak, I felt a chill rise behind me, and a cold snap swept through the air, and in a short moment, a layer of frost condensed on the soles of our feet.
"Let's go!" I roared, grabbed a man in one hand, jumped up, and rushed fifty meters away in one breath before stopping.
When I looked back, the glacier behind me was already in a vast fog, but the fog, which was tumbling and swimming like a sea of clouds, seemed to be stuck on the edge of the river by two rocks, and I didn't dare to cross the line even half a step.
I picked up a stone and threw it into the white mist, and as soon as the fist-sized stone swept through the air, it was frozen into a lump of ice and fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
"Go back!" I took Ye Xun out more than ten meters before I stopped on the snow, lit a cigarette, and took two puffs.
Ye Xun said in a low voice: "The temperature on the edge of the cold wave is so terrifying, if you continue to go deeper...... People who are not cultivating pure yang internal strength and do not have innate upper strength, don't want to walk in. ”
Ye Xun cultivated pure yang internal strength, but his skill had just reached the innate level, and even if he could walk in, he wouldn't be able to go far.
If I calculate according to the internal force, it should also be in the innate realm. However, my internal force is not practiced, but the internal force obtained by chance again and again, the internal force is not pure enough has always been a fatal drawback, in the same level of the situation, only look at the internal force, I am not the opponent of the same level of martial arts.
The secrets of the island are close at hand, but we dare not take half a step beyond the thunder pool.
"There must be a way to get in...... Let me think...... Let me think...... "I was spinning around when I suddenly heard the sound of heavy objects scraping against the ice from the lower reaches of the glacier.
As I followed the sound, I saw that the vanished coffin was sliding forward at a constant speed along the glacier.
The coffin was originally a dead thing, but it looked like it was quietly accumulating strength, ready to hit the cold fog of the upper reaches of the glacier.
I narrowed my eyes and said, "Ye Xun, help me press the formation!"
"What do you want to do?" Ye Xun immediately reacted: "No, I'll go to this matter, my light skills are better than yours." ”
"Do you have my eyesight, don't talk nonsense, give me the wine!" I couldn't help but snatch the wine jug from Ye Xun's body, drank all the spirits in it in one gulp, and began to fight for fate and internal strength.
At the same time, the coffin that slid up from the bottom of the mountain suddenly accelerated in an instant, and rushed towards the depths of the cold fog.
I watched as the coffin accelerated twice, and a trace of blood mist appeared on all sides of the lid of the coffin, and at first glance it looked like something had been boiled in the coffin, turning into a crimson mist spilling out of the coffin.
"Wait for me!" I didn't wait for Ye Xun to open his mouth before he jumped up, and his feet fell to the lid of the coffin.
What I didn't expect was that as soon as my feet came into contact with the sarcophagus, a high temperature like a pedal iron plate burst out from the soles of my feet. I only felt that the soles of my shoes melted a little in an instant, and the smell of burnt rubber welled up from under my feet, but I tied the lid of the coffin with my feet tightly, squatted on the coffin, and the coffin that rushed into it frantically also sank into the cold fog of the ice in the blink of an eye.
As soon as the coffin was ten meters into the cold fog, I heard a crisp sound like glass bursting under my feet.
Oops! The coffin exploded!
Under the alternation of sudden heat and cold, even steel can easily explode, not to mention the coffin under my feet. The coffin must not have been able to withstand the drastic change in temperature, and collapsed completely under the sharp friction with the ground.
The moment this thought crossed my mind, my first reaction was to jump with all my strength, jumping a few meters straight in the direction of the entrance of the cold fog before turning around.
At this time, the coffin three or four meters away rushed out, and it was torn apart between the explosions, and the surging smoke gushed out of the coffin.
Just a moment later, the smoke pouring out of the coffin seemed to be completely frozen by an unimaginably low temperature, turning into pieces of ice and falling to the ground.
The inner coffin, hidden in the coffin, was pressed against the sarcophagus fragments at this time, and rushed forward here.
It was too late for me to chase the coffin now, and my eyes quickly scanned both sides of the river for a few times before I turned and rushed towards the opening of the river.
I was less than ten meters away from the edge of the cold mist, but the blink of an eye almost left me in the glacier, and I only ran a few steps before my legs stiffened and I fell to the ground like a stake.
I just stretched out a hand and wanted to climb forward two steps, Ye Xun had already broken through the cold fog and pulled me out stiffly: "Ren Tianqing, come over and take the snow to wipe his body, I will give him luck and blood." ”
Ren Tianqing pulled open my clothes, grabbed the snow on the ground and rubbed it vigorously on me, and then I slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "Did you rub out the mud balls? I haven't taken a shower for several days." ”
"You go die!" Ren Tianqing slapped the snowball on my face before standing aside angrily.
Ye Xun turned over his body for a while before he took out a box of cigarettes: "You take a breath first, let's slowly figure out a way." ”
I said in a deep voice, "It's not like I didn't gain anything from going in this time. At least I can see a few pictures. Something makes me think about it......"
I finished smoking a cigarette and threw it on the ground, raising my head and shouting into the distance, "Friends of the No Ghost Sect, don't you come out to meet?"
Ren Tianqing was suddenly stunned on the spot: "You said that there is no ghost sect?"
