Chapter 120: Under Siege
The gravel road stretched forward, Lu Chaoran and Kong Zhao walked on the gravel road one after the other, as if walking in the deepest and deepest night, only the torch in Lu Chaoran's hand emitted an orange light, illuminating the area around them for tens of meters, in addition to the eternal eternal night. How many pairs of eyes were watching them in the dark night?
Although Lu Chaoran and Kong Zhao were cautious all the way, they were fearless, and they walked with pride. Gradually, they found that the gravel road under their feet had turned into a bluestone road, and each bluestone was cut smooth and neat. This means that they should have begun to approach the core of the Basilisk Sanctuary.
The bluestone path is slowly sloping downward, which means that along this bluestone path, they are walking deeper underground.
Kong Zhao said: "Brother Lu, have you heard of it? Whether it is a human or a demon, the deepest part of the underground that can be reached is the Yellow Spring. ”
Lu Chaoran said: "I have heard of it, but now we should still be very, very far away from Huangquan. I don't think the snake demons of this level should have the ability to reach Huangquan either. They couldn't even touch the edge of the Yellow Spring. The distance from here to Huangquan is only more than the distance to the Xingchen Mountains. It's impossible to dig all the way down that deep. ”
Kong Zhao continued: "But I heard that there is an abyss under the Yellow Spring, in fact, there is a passage to the Yellow Spring in the world, and at the end of that passage, there is a gate of reincarnation, and on the other side of the door is that abyss. There is no reincarnation in all beings in the world, all because the door of reincarnation is closed. ”
Lu Chaoran smiled and asked, "I haven't heard of this, who did you listen to?"
Kong Zhao said: "It was when I was very young that my mother told me. ”
Kong Zhao rarely talked about his own affairs, and Lu Chaoran was about to ask again, but he was suddenly stunned. It turned out that a bright light suddenly appeared in front of me, and if a stage full of lanterns appeared in the sea of night.
This piece of light was still very far away from them, but Lu Chaoran could see it more clearly, it was a stone lamp lit on both sides of the bluestone road. He could also see that there were statues lined up along the bluestone road. Lu Chaoran thought, maybe it was because of these statues that the snake demons had built some stone lamps here, right? Otherwise, the statues would not be visible in this pitch-black underground.
Kong Zhao was also stunned by this scene, and he asked in disbelief, "Could it be... That's the temple built by the basilismen?"
Behind the rows of stone lamps, there was a huge palace, crawling in the darkness like a giant beast. The distance was too far, and Lu Chaoran couldn't see it really.
"Let's go and see, let's go!"
When approaching those stone lamps and statues, Lu Chaoran and Kong Zhao found that even the bluestone road under their feet began to have reliefs and patterns. Each bluestone floor tile is carved with a pattern of snakes intertwined with flowers and plants, and in the center of the pattern, a sword is engraved.
They walked to the place where the stone lamps and statues were, and saw that the two rows of statues were basilishes dressed in rich costumes. Their upper body is humanoid, and the lower body is snake, either bent into an S shape or coiled into a hollow shape. And in their hands, they all have a sword in their hands.
The sword in the hands of these statues appears to be the same sword as the one carved on the bluestone floor tiles.
After Lu Chaoran and Kong Zhao looked at these statues one by one, Lu Chaoran said, "These snake demons may be the ancestors of the snake demons in this Ten Thousand Snake Valley, right? Did they use the sword as a totem?"
Kong Zhao also said strangely: "But I haven't seen a snake demon with a sword, this snake demon in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes doesn't seem to have a blade." ”
Lu Chaoran had an idea that suddenly popped into his mind, he thought that one of the three tasks that Yun Ruyi gave him was to assist him in finding a Fallen Divine Sword, could it be that what these snake demons worshipped would be a Fallen Divine Sword?
The two of them continued to walk forward, the stone lamp and the statue getting farther and farther behind them. The bluestone road enters an underground forest, there are such dense towering ancient trees underground, through this forest, the front suddenly opens up, a huge square appears in front of them, this square is also paved with hard bluestone bricks, beyond the square, is a towering palace. The palace almost blends into the night, with the edges looming. The gate of the black hole in the palace is thirty meters wide. All the way from the bluestone road, it is slowly inclined downward, and this bluestone square is no exception, standing on the bluestone square, it seems that the huge palace will press the huge square to its side.
In general, the buildings of the human world and the palace are located on a high place. Lu Chaoran looked at the palace gate opposite the square and felt the strong fishy smell and demonic aura behind the gate. He judged that behind this gate was not the end, but a deeper subterranean world.
Not only is the demonic aura behind the gate getting stronger and stronger, but in the underground forest behind them, there are also more and more demonic and murderous aura. And there was a dense sizzling sound in the darkness.
"Is it time to come?" Lu Chaoran looked around, under the light of the torches, he could faintly see the reflection of countless scales, it seemed that they were surrounded by snake demons here. Lu Chaoran turned his head to look at Kong Zhao, Kong Zhao also found the snake demon gradually surrounding from all directions, he Chaolu Chaoran nodded and said, "I'll solve the problem of light." With that, Kong Zhao turned around and threw an egg at the underground forest. The egg hit an old tree at a very fast speed, and burst into a dazzling fire in an instant, and the tongue of fire quickly spread on the old tree, and ignited the nearby branches, so that the beating light flickered on the bluestone square, and the palace in the distance, under the reflection of this firelight, showed a dark red.
On the square, the snake demons surrounded Lu Chaoran and Kong Zhao, densely packed in a large circle, crowded and impassable. Lu Chaoran glanced at it quickly, estimating that the number of these snake demons was around three thousand!
Knowing that there were woods and rivers on the ground, it would be difficult to contain them, these snake demons deliberately led them to the mouth of the snake cave, and then created a miasma to force them into the snake cave. The snake demons had thought that the venom raid of the Quetzalcoatl would be able to solve the two humans. But they didn't expect them to kill the Quetzalcoatl. So the snake demons simply let them go deep into the heart of their holy land, and gather here to annihilate these two invaders in one fell swoop!
Kong Zhao saw the number of snake demons clearly, and even his lips were bloodless for a while! Kong Zhao thought to himself that this battle would definitely die, he looked at Lu Chaoran, and saw that Lu Chaoran also had a solemn face. It's just that, in addition to the dignified, it also reveals perseverance. Lu Chaoran's eyes were full of essence, and an inexplicable aura emanated from Lu Chaoran's body as if it were substance. Kong Zhao can't tell whether this is called murderous spirit or fighting intent, in short, this is a kind of unflinching, fearless atmosphere, a strong belief that tens of millions of people will go to me!
This aura also infected Kong Zhao in an instant, making Kong Zhao bold!
Lu Chaoran said to Kong Zhao in a deep voice: "Kong Zhao, I'm going to kill, you must follow me!"
Kong Zhao licked his lips and replied, "Okay, wherever you kill, I will definitely kill too!"
