Chapter 223: The Land of Sealed Demons
A huge peak appeared at the end of the horizon, high into the sky, and its astonishing height was probably not much higher than that of Qingliang Mountain, the first peak in the Eastern Continent.
Bai Su galloped as hard as he could, such a place would definitely be able to block the sunlight and produce a shade, allowing Yun Xuan to temporarily avoid the blazing sun, and allowing the boiling strange blood to gain temporary peace.
At the foot of the mountain, a crystal clear stream surrounded the periphery of the peak, the stream was not spacious, Bai Su jumped over the horse, found a relatively shady place, gently helped Yun Xuan off the horse, let him sit against a relatively smooth stone, and noticed that Yun Xuan's state had begun to improve, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
Bai Su took out a silk handkerchief and took it to the stream to wash it, but found that the stream water was unusually cold and piercing, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why could the stream water ooze such a cold chill under the bright sun? Bai Su turned around to help Yun Xuan wash his face, and found that his expression was much better, his eyes had been opened, and there was still a smile in his eyes, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Su Su!"
Bai Su smiled and said with trepidation: "Yun Xuan, you were so scary before, I almost thought you couldn't do it......"
The curvature of the corners of Yun Xuan's mouth was much larger, and he patted his forehead, remembering that his situation just now was really dangerous, Bai Su washed the silk handkerchief again, folded it into a square and put it on Yun Xuan's forehead, Yun Xuan pursed his lips, the cold to the bone made him regain a lot of vitality, and said with a smile: "But, Su Su, have you noticed that the water here is a little too cold! It's like snow water dissolved from the ice cubes that have just thawed......"
"Just bring your damn heat down!" Having said that, Bai Su took out a map and spread it out on the gravel pile to observe.
Yun Xuan slanted his eyes and glanced at the map, it was the map of the iceberg and snow field of the Cold Continent, but compared to the map in Ge Zhichuan and the Demon Realm military camp, this map was obviously much rougher, but the specific location of the mountains and rivers was not bad at all, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Su Su, you are really good! I have never seen that map a few times in total, and I can actually copy a copy from memory." ”
Bai Su smiled faintly and said, "It's not just me, Meng Hao must also have a copy, but he is more blatant, and many people have seen it." ”
Then she frowned again, gestured on the map, and said, "It's really strange, if we started to flee from this location last night, we can only come to this location at most, but there are no such high peaks around here!"
Yun Xuan also frowned, as if he remembered something, his whole person suddenly became solemn, he supported the ground with his hands, straightened his weak body, looked at the map head-on, and said in a deep voice: "According to my memories, whether it is the map of Ge Zhichuan or the map in the Demon Realm military camp, there is no mountain peak more than one thousand meters above sea level on the Cold Continent at all, but now this giant peak ......"
Yun Xuan looked up, the cliff was precipitous, and the end of his line of sight was connected with the white clouds, and he couldn't see the top of it at all, he continued: "I'm afraid the height is more than four or five thousand meters, even compared to Qingliang Mountain, which can be called the highest height in the Eastern Continent, it is not much better. ”
Bai Su looked at the map again in confusion, and said in a deep voice: Could it be that there is some major omission in the Demon Realm's investigation of this iceberg and snow field?" But her bright big eyes were full of confusion, and it was obviously difficult for even her to believe such a statement.
Yun Xuan also said in a deep voice: "Su Su, in my opinion, this possibility is very small, we ...... Could it be that you have seen something you shouldn't have seen and come to a place where you shouldn't be?"
Bai Su thought silently, in addition to doubts in her eyes, a trace of horror flashed, she took out some dry food and handed it to Yun Xuan, and then drove the horse to the grass by the stream, let it move freely and eat, and then walked back, in a slightly flustered tone, and whispered: "Yun Xuan, you mean, we may have hit the legendary Demon Sealing Land?"
Yun Xuan nodded, his expression was a little helpless and a little mysterious, and at the same time, there was a hint of panic that was extremely rare for Yun Xuan, but the answer given was yes.
Why is the cold continent called the cursed earth, this is as early as the ancient period, there is an ancient legend: according to legend, the gods sealed the supreme of the demon world in the 10,000-year-old giant peak, this place of sealing the devil is called Gouyi Mountain, only because the mountain peak is covered with snow all year round, and the silver light shines when the clouds open and the fog disperses, and it is also called the "Moon Mountain Range".
The sealed Demon Realm Supreme vented his hatred and anger on this land where his soul was sealed, and the iceberg snow fields of the Cold Continent bore the brunt of the curse, bearing most of the cursed power, and also became a famous land abandoned by the sky and cursed by the Demon Venerable.
In the ancient years, Gouyi Mountain has appeared countless times on the cold continent, but its location is erratic, never appearing in the same location twice, and all witnesses cannot get close to the location of this mysterious legend.
Before the war between the Kyushu human race and the Eastern Emperor Demon Realm thousands of years ago, there were a large number of adventurers and bounty teams lurking in the cold continent, trying to unearth the secrets of Gouyi Mountain, but no one could succeed, according to the account of an adventurer who was fortunate enough to see Gouyi Mountain: "Even if you have clearly seen its location, no matter how far you go, you can't reach the foot of its mountain!"
In the past few hundred years, since the Demon World War, the footprints of the Kyushu human race in the cold continent have become less and less, and this legend has almost been submerged in the dust of history.
But Yun Xuan and Bai Su are both people with a wide range of knowledge, and now that they have encountered such a strange place, they naturally think of this legend of Gouyi Mountain.
Bai Su shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Yun Xuan, how is this possible? We live in the real world, and it is really unbelievable that we can encounter the myths and legends of the ancient era. Bai Su poured a sip of water, picked up a piece of dry food and slowly gnawed it.
Yun Xuan chewed the food in his mouth and asked in a low voice, "So, Su Su, how do you explain this magical place? You have also seen the high-ranking generals of the demon realm, the demon cultivator is not necessarily as stupid as a legend, how could he miss such an important geographical location? Moreover, Gouyi Mountain may not be a myth, but a relic of ancient times. ”
Bai Su still shook her head and said softly: "Even if it is Gouyi Mountain, it will never be able to get close to it in legends, how can we get to the foot of its mountain?" Although she was full of disbelief, her voice became lower and lower, as if she was afraid of alarming an ancient demon god who should not exist in the legend.
Yun Xuan's eyes flashed with worry, and he said in a deep voice: "Maybe it's because of the dark sky of the dead last night, or maybe it's that huge tornado, or maybe it's ......"
He paused, stared into Bai Su's eyes, and continued: "Maybe it's because of the Haotian Demon Realm bloodline in our body, which is regarded as the same kind by the other party...... Yun Xuan swallowed the food in his mouth and said slowly: "Anyway, whether we are lucky or unlucky, we are likely to have come to a place that has been chased by countless adventurers, Gouyi Mountain. ”
Bai Su felt a little uneasy about the current unknown situation, she raised her voice a little, and said: "Yun Xuan, no matter what the hell place is here, let's take a break and leave immediately, whether it is a god or a demon, it has nothing to do with us." ”
Yun Xuan nodded slowly, he took a few sips of water, and anyone would be afraid of unknown things, whether it was him or Bai Su, it was no exception.
The cliffs behind him and the cold stream in front of him were all stained with a gloomy aura at this time.
Everyone wants to be written into the legend of light, and no one wants to be in the dark legend of others.
After Bai Su finished eating the dry food in his hand, he probed Yun Xuan's body temperature, and his eyes couldn't help but flash with surprise, Yun Xuan, who was still having a high fever a moment ago, now has returned to normal, it seems that this strange disease is not only coming quickly, but also going quickly.
She gently shook Yun Xuan's hand and asked softly, "Yun Xuan, how are you feeling now?"
Yun Xuan slowly took off the silk handkerchief on his forehead, smiled heartily, and said, "After avoiding the scorching sun, everything has returned to normal, and now I am afraid that I have completely transformed into a low-level necromantic monk." Bai Su smiled bitterly and said softly: "Yun Xuan, this is not a pleasant joke......
In fact, they could recover so quickly, Yun Xuan knew in his heart that Bai Su could also vaguely guess the reason, the mountains and water of this strange peak, and its cold temperature, could quickly rejuvenate the strange blood in their bodies, but no one said the reason.
If Qin Xiaotian was also here, he would definitely be able to discover one more factor, and a powerful natural barrier would naturally form around the giant peak, which could keep the heat out.
"Since you're fine, let's continue to go......" Bai Su lifted Yun Xuan's hand vigorously, smiled kindly, and expressed another sentence with his eyes: We want to get out of here quickly.
Just as the two of them were about to get back on their way, a thick dark cloud rolled in from afar, approaching the area at an alarming speed, and in the blink of an eye, it had taken over the entire sky overhead. Thick clouds obscured the scorching sun in cascading tones, and the clear sky quickly gave way to a deep pitch black.
This is the unique dark sky and dark curtain of the Necromantic Clan of the Demon Realm, shrouding the world in darkness, allowing the Necromantic to walk unhindered on the land that is originally shining with the sun.
"What the hell!" Bai Su couldn't help but scold: "These annoying guys are actually chasing after them, there are so many people to choose from, but they chose us to chase ......" and then scolded a string of foul words.
The cart of the undead was surging in all directions, and the rumbling hooves of horses sounded without warning, as if they appeared out of thin air, from far and near, apparently completely targeting their location.
"It's glad that we were able to lure the enemy away and give our companions plenty of time to escape......" Having said that, Yun Xuan's face had a completely different expression. He jumped onto a rock that protruded slightly from the cliff, and when he looked up, there was a completely black pressure as far as the eye could see, and it was all the heavy cavalry of the Demon Realm Necromantic Clan.
Yun Xuan said in a deep voice, "No, it's possible that they are not targeting us, but are coming towards this giant peak...... Let's take a look at the other side of the mountain. ”
Bai Su whistled lightly, and the horse immediately ran over, and the two of them did not need the horse to stop, they had already flown on the horse, and the horse let go of its four hooves, circled the foot of the mountain, and galloped towards the other side of the peak.
