Volume 3: Thunderland Chapter 11: Looking Down into a Coffin
After Jiang Xiaoyu stepped up the illusory steps, after feeling it carefully, he found that he was not affected by anything, and was about to tell Gong Shouyou and the others below that he could climb normally, only to realize that he didn't know when, there was already a fog below, and there was nothing at all.
Not only below, but at this time, everything except the stone steps was shrouded in a thick mist, Jiang Xiaoyu opened his mouth and shouted.
"Gong Shouyou, can you hear Xuchang?"
The voice disappeared into the thick fog and disappeared, and Jiang Xiaoyu did not wait for the expected reply.
Looking at the dense fog that suddenly appeared around him, Jiang Xiaoyu understood that this was a formation, although he didn't know what other special abilities he had, but it didn't seem to have any lethality for the time being.
Thinking that even if Xu Chang's personality was a little reckless in the latter three, but with Gong Shouyou and Shen Qianqiu here, there would never be any major problems, Jiang Xiaoyu chose to step up and see what kind of abnormalities would appear first.
With Jiang Xiaoyu's movements, the fog gradually changed.
The ethereal mist gradually gathered into a human form, and a big man composed of mist appeared out of thin air, except for the face of these big men who were still illusory, other parts including clothes were vivid, and the strong man was naked on his upper body, and his body was painted with a special pattern, which looked extremely strong.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoyu stopped, carefully observed the strong man composed of mist, and found that there was no breath, just the specific shape of the mist, which did not have any aggressiveness.
However, the eight strong men made of mist did not make any movement at this time, but knelt on one knee, as if waiting for something.
Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a while, and then took a few steps up.
Sure enough, the fog changed again, a huge coffin appeared on the shoulders of the strong man, and the eight strong men stood up at the same time with the giant coffin on their shoulders, and at the same time, stone steps also appeared under the feet of the strong man.
The strong men carried the huge coffin, stepped on the stone steps and began to climb upward, and behind the strong men, the mist formed a new human form.
Two women holding high flags followed closely behind the strong man, although Jiang Xiaoyu did not recognize the words on the flag, but thought that it was roughly the same as the meaning of the funeral in the outside world, the woman was dressed in simple clothes, but the ornaments on the top of her head looked extremely luxurious, even if it was composed of fog, it was very beautiful to look at.
Behind the two women, people with various strange musical instruments began to appear, and with the appearance of these people, there was only a mist of images, and at this time there began to be a sound coming out, and the sound of different instruments formed a wonderful leap, the tone was extremely high-pitched, but there was no sad atmosphere of mourning at all, but it was more like a celebration of this ceremony.
The fog is condensing faster and faster, and the funeral procession has reached an unknown distance, among which there are people dressed in various clothes, and there are even people on both sides who are formed by the fog and scattered petals composed of mist.
These people, like the strong men, except for the lack of facial expressions, other details are extremely delicate, at this time there is not only the sound of musical instruments composed of music, but also countless people singing loudly, the whole procession is simply a pleasant procession if you don't look at the giant coffin in the front.
Looking at this scene, Jiang Xiaoyu stopped, the content that appeared in this fog was the funeral of the woman in red, was the purpose of this formation to let people understand the scene at that time?
When Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the team in the mist, he found that the faces of those people were facing him at this time, although they had no facial features, Jiang Xiaoyu seemed to be able to feel the gaze, as if he was puzzled by his stopping.
Jiang Xiaoyu began to walk upwards slowly, seeing that Jiang Xiaoyu had begun to continue climbing, the funeral procession composed of mist turned its head and began to play again, but as soon as the performance started, and even before the song sounded, Jiang Xiaoyu stopped again.
The team's actions came to an abrupt halt, and in Jiang Xiaoyu's sight, their heads turned to Jiang Xiaoyu again, this time it was not just a simple doubt, but every fog person revealed an angry emotion.
But Jiang Xiaoyu didn't care, the situation in front of him made Jiang Xiaoyu have a guess in his heart, this formation seems to be using people to push the team in the fog forward, but in fact, it is used to use the team in the fog to move to affect the people who are climbing the stone steps, so that the climbers want to understand the follow-up psychology as soon as possible and speed up the pace of up.
Including the gaze of everyone in the fog now, and the ethereal and dangerous aura, it is just to make people walk up as soon as possible, if they really keep walking, they may end up in the giant coffin in the fog.
The people inside the mist became more and more angry because of Jiang Xiaoyu's stopped movements, but they couldn't do anything at all.
Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the actions of these people in the mist, and always felt extremely weird, even if it was a resurrection ceremony, but the person who was supposed to be buried was still dead, how could the music have such a cheerful mood, and the method of breaking the game seemed to appear in this music.
After having a conjecture, Jiang Xiaoyu began to take steps, not moving at a uniform speed on the stairs, but fast and slow.
The people in the mist didn't care how Jiang Xiaoyu acted, as long as Jiang Xiaoyu moved, they wouldn't stare at Jiang Xiaoyu, but indulged in the ritual.
However, the fast and slow pace could not affect these people in the mist, and what came to Jiang Xiaoyu's ears was still a high-pitched and cheerful tune, and these people were not disturbed in any way because of Jiang Xiaoyu's movements.
Jiang Xiaoyu stopped and frowned, he must not be able to afford to waste time now, after being dragged by these fog people for a while, in case Xuchang discovers the name of the female ghost, let the female ghost come back to life, it will be over.
When Jiang Xiaoyu was entangled, he suddenly found that there was a flash of golden light in the mist, and the people formed by the mist began to dissipate quickly, at this time, Jiang Xiaoyu did not make any movement under his feet, and several strong men who resisted the coffin suddenly carried the giant coffin at this time, walked towards the depths of the mist, and disappeared into the thick fog.
As the giant coffin disappeared, the fog began to fade rapidly, and the dense fog had completely dissipated in more than ten seconds, Jiang Xiaoyu could already see the surrounding situation clearly, and Gong Shouyou and the other three were only a few steps away from him.
Seeing the long sword in Shen Qianqiu's hand, Jiang Xiaoyu understood why the mist dissipated, it seemed that when Shen Qianqiu unintentionally waved the long sword, the first mang's sword intent cut off a certain node, which led to the collapse of the formation.
The three of them obviously encountered the mist just now, but compared to Jiang Xiaoyu, the combat ability of the three of them was much stronger at this time, but they didn't expect that they could crack this formation with just a few swords, and Jiang Xiaoyu, who was still thinking about how to crack the formation, didn't expect that this formation was solved by Shen Qianqiu by mistake.
After the four of them met, they exchanged about the situation they had just encountered, and Jiang Xiaoyu learned that although it was also foggy, the situation encountered by the three of them was different.
In the mist, there was no team carrying the coffin, but a group of faceless ones, who attacked the three of them, and after the three of them finished killing the faceless, the fog dissipated.
Listening to Gong Shouyou's story, Jiang Xiaoyu always felt that he had missed an extremely important event just now, and if he followed those people all the way, it might not be as expected in the end.
Now that the mist around the stone steps has dissipated, Jiang Xiaoyu took this matter to the bottom of his heart, and after entering the Thunder Domain, he saw if there was any information about it.
After gathering, the four of them went all the way up the stone steps and came to the highest place, the end point was a semicircular platform, the position was not large, Jiang Xiaoyu stood on the edge of the platform, looking down.
Looking up at the entrance below, he felt that it was a mountain composed of several hills, but when he came to the top, Jiang Xiaoyu realized that this was actually a huge coffin.
The space below is oval in shape, at least a few dozen meters wide and more than 100 meters long, and the hollow interior is filled with three colors.
The white bones completely filled all the space below, and although it was dark below, the black air flow above the white bones was extremely obvious, and a red coffin was placed in the middle of the white bones.
The red coffin in the middle of the white bones does not have a coffin lid, although it is not clear from a distance, but you can vaguely see that the person in the coffin is dressed in red, and the decoration of the head is obviously a luxurious material, even if there is no light shining in, it still shines beautifully.
The most unbelievable thing is that the skin and flesh of the person in the coffin do not seem to have any signs of decay, thinking of the red-clothed female ghost encountered in front of the soul locking tree, Jiang Xiaoyu knows that the one lying in the red coffin below is the main owner of the tomb, and the strange scene below is the final ritual of the Thunder Spirit Sacrifice.
