Chapter 397: The Immortal City
"These are precious relics!"
Professor Li visited several palaces in a row, and he was very excited as if he had discovered a new world.
Fortunately, there was no danger here, and Xia Jiu let them go to archaeology.
It used to be a city, and there should have been a market and walls outside this palace, but now they are all buried by wind and sand.
Night was gradually falling, but Professor Li and the others did not look tired at all, and kept recording everything here on the notepad.
Xia Jiu stood outside the palace, guarding his surroundings while cultivating.
There is also a sea of stars in the sky, and it is hard to imagine what it is like to see stars in the underworld.
Although these stars are not real, but imbued with a magical power, they are also beautiful at this time.
But Xia Jiu always felt that after the stars appeared, this place became a little different.
Suddenly, Xia Jiu saw that far away, there was a place where the sand moved.
Xia Jiu fixed his eyes and frowned, only to see a black head coming out of the sand, and then a huge body crawling out.
It was a disgusting creature, resembling a lizard, but covered in armor, with a hideous face, an evil gaze, and sharp barbs on its limbs and tail.
This is the black monster on the mural!
Xia Jiu was taken aback, he didn't expect this creature to still exist, this should be a low-level demonic beast that lived in groups.
In some ancient continents, people and monsters coexist, and there are often incidents of monster attacks.
But the matter is not over yet, with the appearance of this magical beast, countless sands in the distance began to churn, and one by one the pitch-black monsters crawled out of the sand, black and endless.
"Wocao!" Xia Jiu burst into a foul mouth, feeling that things were a little wrong.
"Professor Li, quickly take the students to a safe basement, no, the basement is not safe, go to a high place!" Xia Jiu shouted.
Professor Li was startled, and hurriedly ran over to ask what was going on, he took out the binoculars and looked at it, and the whole person was suddenly not good.
"This, so many monsters, they won't come to us, right?"
"What do you say?"
As soon as Xia Jiu's words fell, the black and overwhelming monsters all rushed towards the palace.
Suddenly, dust flew and the earth shook, as if to destroy everything in sight.
Xia Jiu and Denise had solemn faces, and Professor Li, a crow's mouth, hurriedly beckoned the students to hide in the palace.
But the palace gates were open, and there was nowhere to hide.
Just when the group of monsters ran a certain distance.
The desert was tumbling again, and countless corpse-like soldiers crawled out of the ground, armed with swords and guns, standing in formation, numbering in the thousands.
A terrible war broke out.
The mummified soldiers frantically slashed at those black monsters, and those black monsters also desperately tried to bite and break through this wall of death.
"Oh my God, oh my God, is this, is this a myth, am I dreaming?" Professor Li was dumbfounded, trembling and took out his camera to shoot.
The scene in front of me is simply a movie of the mummy series.
But at this moment, it really appeared in front of him.
"They seem to be guarding something. Xia Jiu frowned: "Could it be that there are secrets in this city that we haven't discovered? What is here?
Xia Jiu knew at a glance that these mummies were probably dead for tens of thousands of years.
Even, in this part of the world, there may be such a tragic battle every night.
Day after day, year after year. These mummies died and came back to life, and the next day they got up again, this is the undead legion.
Legend has it that Hitler was interested in Shambhala because of the secret of immortality.
It is said that there is an existence that has lived for tens of thousands of years, with an immortal body, and there is a magical vitality field here, and if you get it, you can grasp the mystery of immortality.
Even Hitler planned to drop thousands of paratroopers here, so that those people would become immortal and return to the European battlefield to reverse the defeat!
But unfortunately, in the end, it did not work out.
"Oh no, these guards can't stand it!" Professor Li cried out nervously.
If these guards can't withstand it, the monsters will definitely attack!
Xia Jiu looked forward, the defense line of these guards had been torn apart, there were too many lizard monsters, maybe tens of thousands, all of them rushed towards this side like stimulants.
At this time, hundreds of taller mummy guards crawled out from under the palace.
Inside the palace, the statues of the guards that used to stand around have also come to life.
When they opened their eyes, they saw Xia Jiu and them for the first time, and one of the guards roared, and the axe knife in his hand slashed at Xia Jiu.
Xia Jiu swung out the suspended spear and directly knocked the guard away.
But then more guards rushed over.
"Denise, take them inside, I'll stop them. ”
Denise pulled Xiaoxue and ran to the depths of the palace with Professor Li, and Xia Jiu did not fight with these guards, but fought freely.
Not long after, a lizard monster rushed in, and these guards obviously hated the lizard monster very much, and immediately abandoned Xia Jiu and fought with the lizard monster.
There are a lot of lizard monsters, but these palace guards are actually very powerful, with a random blow of dozens of tons of power, and even some strong ones have reached hundreds of tons!
"That's amazing, but you're fighting here, I'd like to see what you're looking for?"
Xia Jiu's body flashed, and he rushed directly into the depths of the palace.
It's very different here than it is during the day.
The gossip map in the palace actually began to run, and the power of the formation appeared.
The power of this formation is extremely mysterious, and it seems that it is also to protect something.
But Xia Jiu has the memory of Xiao Shen, and with Yuan Tiangang, an old bull-nosed man, it is very simple to pass this kind of gossip array.
Soon he rushed into a huge basement that was hidden deeply.
There are countless floating stone steps in this basement, and in the center of the stone steps is a very delicate jade bowl.
This jade bowl is exquisitely clear, with fluorescent fluorescent light and a clear stream rippling slowly.
Xia Jiu's pupils shrank, and he shouted in a lost voice: "Yaochi Holy Water!"
Yuan Tiangang jumped out of the hell map with a sigh, and laughed greedily: "Haha, there is still such an opportunity for the poor Dao to come across the holy water of Yaochi!
"you!" Xia Jiu kicked Yuan Tiangang away, and the whole person turned into a streamer and rushed towards the holy water of Yaochi.
This is the best treasure, it is said that a drop can live and die human flesh and bones, and cure all diseases!
Yaochi is the residence of the Queen Mother of the West, so the Queen Mother of the West is also known as the Holy Mother of Yaochi! It is the mother of Taoist yin energy, and it is definitely one of the supreme gods of the heavenly court.
She rules Kunlun, gives birth to all things, and is the god of immortality and immortality.
It is said that the holy water in the Yao Pond is the Lingyun stalactites absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and it can only condense a drop in a hundred years! The holy water has been filtered for a hundred years, pure and flawless, clean into clouds, widely spread between heaven and earth, and has become the boundary of heaven and earth.
In other words, Yaochi is the heavenly realm.
How could the holy water in Yao Pond be ordinary holy water? This is the elixir and jade liquid that immortals dream of!
Take a sip and maybe Brother Jiu will become an immortal!
Ha ha!
Xia Jiu got carried away, and his mouth was about to burst with laughter.
But just as his hand was about to grab the jade bowl, out of nowhere, a big hand suddenly appeared and smashed him away!
"Grass!who!?" Xia Jiu jumped up from the ground and saw a large stone-like hand appear next to the jade bowl in the center, and then a man in a rotten robe crawled out of the ground.
The man's eyes were hollow, but there was a powerful aura exuding from his body.
Xia Jiu seems to have seen this person on the mural, this is the national teacher of this city, it seems to be very powerful.
The country has a king, a princess, a general and a national teacher.
The king and princess don't know where they died, and the general should be the strongest stone man outside, fighting the lizard monsters hand-to-hand. This national teacher appeared here.
"Boy, the situation is not right, how can there be dead things to protect the holy water of Yaochi? Don't you think it's weird?" Yuan Tiangang floated over, his eyes rolling slightly.
Indeed, the holy water of Yaochi is extremely sacred, and it is reasonable that it cannot be guarded by a group of dark and lifeless zombies, and even if it is possible, the people in this city should also have a great increase in mana after drinking the water of Yaochi, and they should defend the city.
"Look, there's still a mural here!" Professor Li said suddenly.
They had just rushed in, and they were in a bit of a mess, probably outside had fallen.
The flashlight shone away, and Professor Li interpreted it again like a university scholar.
"The people here seem to be guarding the holy water, they worship the gods, they are the people of the gods. One day, because of the merit of the gods, a supreme goddess with leopards and tigers came down from the sky, and the goddess gave the god a bowl of holy water, and the gods put the holy water here and gave it to their people to guard and care for. The gods left for unknown reasons and never returned. ”
"But it was precisely because of the appearance of holy water that they were attacked by evil monsters. It was most likely a monster created by a powerful dark wizard, and so the millennia of fighting began. ”
"Leopard tail and tiger teeth, is it the Queen Mother of the West?" Xia Jiu laughed and said: "If that's the case, it can be explained, Lao Yuan, they are guarding this holy water, even if they die, they don't dare to disobey the orders of the gods, the gods don't know what kind of god they are, and if they don't come back for so many years, they are afraid that they will fall." Haha, it's cheaper for the ninth master!"
Yuan Tiangang said in a deep voice: "This national teacher, who has the power of death in his body, is also a very strong figure in his life, it is likely that he borrowed some kind of secret method and the power of holy water, so that the entire city fell into a curse, creating an undead army, even if it is death, they have to protect what the gods left behind, maybe they believe that the gods will come back and resurrect them, right?"
"No matter what, this holy water, I'm going to decide!" Xia Jiu laughed, the hanging gun flashed, and rushed towards the holy water again.
And the resurrected national teacher, as if he had a sense, was full of rage, and rushed towards Xia Jiu.
His whole body was shriveled, his eyes were green, his hands were like steel, and his ten fingers were like sharp nails, like sharp swords.
What's even more terrifying is that this national teacher's whole body actually exudes a dense black qi, and as soon as his arm is raised, dozens of suspended black stones fly towards Xia Jiu.
