Chapter 61, Hotaru Xiaoyu
Chapter 61, Hotaru Xiaoyu
After everyone rested for a while, Xiao took the lead and climbed to the tenth floor of the tower again. The tenth floor was really like the scene in Xiao's mind, the ground, the walls of the tower, and the top of the tower were all crawling with green centipedes, and these centipedes were motionless and seemed to be asleep. And above the head is an iron door. Xiao told Lin Luxian about the situation in the tower. Zhu Xinyan said, "This is not difficult! there are no insects who are not afraid of fire, I use pyrotechnics to open the way, and then we can easily climb the steps!"
After Zhu Xinyan climbed to the tenth floor, he used the pyrotechnic technique to scorch the green centipedes on the ground, and these green centipedes were scorched by Zhu Xinyan before they had time to dodge. Zhu Xinyan thought that this layer was quite simple, so he shouted to everyone, "Everyone come up!" After the rest of the people climbed up to the tenth floor, everyone had just followed Zhu Xinyan a few steps away, and they smelled a pungent smell!
Lan Bingyun hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, retreat to the ninth floor!
Afterwards, everyone quickly descended to the ninth floor of the tower, and after a few moments, they felt much better.
Lan Bingyun said: "I remember, these green centipedes should be the poisonous centipedes recorded in the "Mystery of Things", poisonous centipedes are highly poisonous all over their bodies, if the toxins in their bodies come into contact with the air, they will be emitted in the air and become poisonous gas, if people inhale this poisonous gas, they will be poisoned and unconscious! What is even more terrible is that if the toxins in the body of the poisonous centipede react with the flame, it will produce poisonous smoke with high poison! People will die of respiratory failure after inhaling this poisonous smoke excessively, so these centipedes cannot be trampled to death, let alone burned with fire! ”
Ao Yi asked, "What can we do about this, this tower is full of hairy centipedes, how do we get to the eleventh floor?"
Xiao said, "It seems that we can only carefully bypass these centipedes, if we accidentally step on or kill a poisonous centipede, so that the poisonous gas in their bodies is emitted, then we will be miserable." ”
Everyone waited for more than ten hours on the ninth floor before all the poisonous gas on the tenth floor was dissipated. Early the next morning, the six of them climbed to the tenth floor again, with Xiao at the forefront, the lightest of steps, followed by the rest. Everyone was looking for a gap to settle in the poisonous centipedes all over the ground, and they didn't even dare to make a breathing sound, for fear of disturbing the centipedes all over the ground. When they finally climbed to the top of the stairs, everyone's clothes were soaked with sweat. If you look closely, you can see that the iron door above your head still has a keyhole. Everyone was surprised, if the key was among the centipedes all over the ground, then even if they had great ability, it would be impossible for them to get the key without disturbing the centipedes!
Dianpu was even more anxious and angry, but he didn't dare to move or make a sound, he could only clench his fists and try to calm himself down. Lan Bingyun looked around and saw the key, which hung on a nail on the wall of the tower, nearly twenty meters above the ground. Lan Bingyun whispered to everyone where the key was, and then said to everyone, "Fortunately, I can fly, I'll go and take the key off." ”
Lan Bingyun flew to the wall of the tower, and as soon as she took off the hanging key, the wind fanned by the wings on her back woke up a large number of centipedes on the wall! The disturbed centipedes seemed to make low-frequency calls that could not be heard by human ears, and then more and more centipedes woke up. On the ground, on the wall of the tower, all the centipedes on the top of the tower wriggled and crawled towards Lin Luxian and the others on the steps. And the centipedes under Lin Luxian's feet also squirmed, and Lin Luxian and the others panicked, and trampled on a lot of centipedes in a panic!
Lan Bingyun thought badly, and hurriedly flew back to the steps, handed the key to Lin Luxian, and said, "Quick! Open the door!" Lin Luxian covered his nose with one hand and opened the iron door above his head with the key with the other. Xiao is now a spirit and will not be attacked by poisonous gas, and the rest of the people must not only cover their mouths and noses tightly, but also beware of centipedes that keep crawling towards them.
When the iron gate above their heads was opened, everyone couldn't wait to climb to the eleventh floor of the tower, lay on the ground to rest, and didn't care what happened on the eleventh floor, they inhaled poisonous gas, and their chests were uncomfortable, and they had to rest for a while to relieve.
Wait until everyone is lying on the ground to rest. Xiao clenched the double-edged spear in his hand and stared nervously at the center of the tower, because he saw a blue-skinned man sitting in the center of the tower, a man, but he didn't have wings on his back. The blue-skinned man motioned for Xiao to relax, "Don't be nervous, I won't hurt you, this poisonous gas will not spread to the eleventh layer, you can rest assured, and when you are rested, we will talk about it." ”
Lin Luxian and the others also heard what the blue-skinned man said, but they didn't care about him. And Xiao has been holding a double-edged gun to protect them. About half an hour later, Lin Luxian and the five of them eased up one after another. At this time, the blue-skinned man sitting in the center of the tower said to them, "You have proven your strength to climb this floor, and we don't need to test you again." ”
Everyone showed their weapons and surrounded the blue-skinned man, for fear that he would cheat. Lin Luxian asked, "What kind of test? What do you want to do? You are also blue-skinned, why don't you have wings on your back?"
The blue-skinned man replied, "My name is Hotaru Xiaoyu, and I am an authentic Blue Shura clan, as for why I don't have wings on my back, this is a long story." ”
Lan Bingyun said to Hotaru Xiaoyu, "I remember that you told me in your dream that if I find the other four, I can wake up a sleeping god, and now we are all here. This sleeping god is Yun Tianhyun, right?
Hotaru Xiaoyu pointed to the top of her head and said, "He's on the top floor, but don't be in a hurry to go up to the top floor, listen to me first!"
"Not long after the Desolate Ancient Underworld Clan was first born in the Liaozhou Continent, we also came to the Liaozhou Continent through the Blue Shura Realm. It can be said that in addition to the desolate ancient underworld race underground, we are the first otherworldly race to set foot on the Liaozhou continent! We found that the Liaozhou continent exudes aura everywhere, and the creatures on the Liaozhou continent also grow and reproduce rapidly with the help of the aura, and divide into many races. The most populous of them are the Terrans!"
Then, we found another suspended land in the sky, although it was much smaller than the Liaozhou Continent, but the aura on this land was more abundant than the Liaozhou Continent below. It's a pity that we don't belong to the Liaozhou Continent and can't absorb the aura of the Liaozhou Continent. So we thought of the Terrans, and we spent hundreds of years building a tall column on the ground that led to the continent suspended in the sky, which was the Hanging Pillar. We hope that one day the Terrans will be able to climb the Hanging Pillar to reach the suspended continent and absorb the abundant aura there. ”
Coincidentally, not long after, the Hades fought with the underground core rock python, which caused the ground of the Liaozhou Continent to collapse and subside in many places, and the Terrans were forced to climb the Hanging Heavenly God Pillar. Later, the human race that climbed the Hanging Heavenly Pillar transformed into a powerful god because of the absorption of abundant aura, and this suspended continent was also turned into a god realm by the god race. When we saw that the time was ripe, we flew to the Divine Realm to negotiate with the Protoss. Because thanks to us, they were able to save their lives and become Protoss! So we asked the Protoss to give half of the land on the Liaozhou Continent to our Blue Shura Clan. But the arrogant Protoss did not agree, and they were only allowed to give us a part of the line. Our negotiations with the Protoss ended up being unpleasant. But we didn't plan to stop there, and soon after, we secretly incited the demons to attack the God Realm. It wasn't until the powerful Protoss defeated the demon army that we realized that the Protoss was too powerful, strong enough to despise us... Fortunately, we found the sleeping Yun Tianhyun at sea and hid Yun Tianhyun in the Sky Touching Tower in this desolate place. Yun Tianhyun is the son and son of Yun Taifeng, the lord of the Protoss, and is the only bargaining chip in the future negotiation with Yun Taiding. And the height of this Heavenly Touching Tower of a few hundred meters can also slow down the dissipation speed of the soul in Yun Tianhyun's body. Now the few of you are the key to unlocking Yun Tianhyun and waking him up!"
After Lin Luxian and the others heard this, they also had mixed feelings, they couldn't imagine that the Protoss and the Blue Shura Clan had such a relationship, and back then, the Demon Clan's attack on the God Realm was actually instigated by the Blue Shura Clan!
Hotaru Xiaoyu continued, "Okay, since you're here, I've finished what I want to say, you can go to the twelfth floor above to rest, and there is plenty of food and water prepared for you. Tomorrow when you are back to your best, it will also be the time for you to return your inner court to Yun Tianhyun. When the time comes, I will take you to see Yun Tianhyun, and after that, your mission will be completed, and you can leave the Sky Touching Tower, and I can complete my mission... ”
Lan Bingyun asked Hotaru Xiaoyu, "But I still don't understand, how did you know that we would come here, or did you already know that we would come?"
I can't be sure if you'll come, and I don't know where the five wisps of court spirit that Yun Tianhyun scattered back then were, but I do know that the wisp of human court spirit that remains in Yun Tianhyun's body can sense the remaining six wisps of court spirit in his body. Unexpectedly, the remaining five wisps of court spirit in his body happened to be in your body, and you were able to come all the way here because of the summoning of the human court spirit in Yun Tianhyun's body. As long as you return the court spirit in your body to Yun Tianhyun tomorrow, the soul in Yun Tianhyun's body will stop dissipating, I have to say, you came in time!"
Lin Luxian also asked Hotaru Xiaoyu, "That's right! When Yun Tianhyun was struck by an axe from the Secret Mixed Heavens, didn't he scatter six wisps of court spirit? Where is the other wisp of court spirit? It won't be on you, right?"
"Back then, Yun Tianhyun was indeed scattered with six wisps of court spirit, and five of them had already entered the bodies of the five of you. As for this last ray of spirit, it is not in my body. But then we found that the last wisp of the court spirit floated out of a man who had just died! We used a secret method to stop this court spirit for a short time, and then quickly flew back to the Sky Touching Tower with this court spirit. And the wisp of the court we found is kept in a sealed treasure box, once this treasure box is closed, it can be isolated from the outside air, forming a vacuum in the box, and the court spirit is stored inside and will not dissipate due to the passage of time. And this treasure box is stored in the Blue Shura Realm, and it is guarded by our people. ”
"Why didn't you put this last wisp of court spirit back into Yun Tianhyun's body directly?" Zhu Xinyan asked puzzled
"Of course we can't put this wisp of court spirit back into Yun Tianhyun's body, what we keep is Yun Tianhyun's most important Heavenly Court Spirit! Dominate Yun Tianhyun's consciousness, if we put the Heavenly Court Spirit back into Yun Tianhyun's body, he will wake up, and we won't be able to control him after he wakes up! When the time comes, how can we negotiate with the Protoss?"
"Hmph, so, you're just waiting for us here, so why do you have to place so many beasts and traps in the tower? If something really happens to us, isn't it difficult for the court spirit in our body to return to Yun Tianhyun's body?" Ao Yi said angrily
Hotaru Xiaoyu looked at Lan Bingyun and said, "To be honest, it's very difficult to find this Heavenly Touching Tower! So, we even thought that you wouldn't come at all! But I talked to this little girl in green in my dream, and it wasn't until she actually appeared in front of my eyes today that I realized that my communication with her was not just a dream! It was something that would really happen in the future! Now that you have really arrived, this is great! After you return the inner court to Yun Tianhyun, it will make Yun Tianhyun's body more complete, and we will have a greater bargaining chip in the future with the Protoss! These poisonous insects and beasts in the tower are not there to stop you, but to stop others. Besides, we didn't kill you all, did we! When you were hung on the sixth floor, we discovered that you might have the spirit of Yun Tianhyun in your body, but we couldn't be completely sure yet. Therefore we did not take away your weapons, but continued to watch you in secret. If you can really see me, I can also be sure that you are the people we want to welcome! I am really fortunate to have climbed up and gone through hardships and dangers along the way! I also apologize for this. ”
Xiao suddenly thought, "By the way, we found a dungeon in the Devil's Triangle of Xingyi before, and the murals in it depict your Blue Shura tribe and the corpses of grasshoppers, and there is a green pond in the middle, what is going on?"
This is the dungeon we use to execute criminals, and if you Terrans have criminals, so do we. The green pool water in the dungeon is made by my clan, it is strongly acidic, corrosive, and highly dyed. We will push the criminals of our clan into this green pond. Before pushing them into the pond, they are given a special potion to ensure that they will not be corroded in the highly acidic pond, but will change their bodies! And in order to guard these grasshopper corpses, we also placed a digging toad in the dungeon. By the way, how do you know about the Grasshopper Corps?"
Xiao returned" There is a record of the corpse of the grasshopper in our ancient books of the underworld. By the way, we have read a book called "Mystery of Things", which records a lot of strange people and things, as well as many races in the Liaozhou Continent, but this book is the only one that does not record your Blue Shura clan. Does this book have anything to do with your family?"
Oh, this book is written by our ancestors, and it records the strange things he saw and heard in the Liaozhou continent in this life. The book was lost shortly after the patriarch finished writing. We've been looking for a while, but we haven't found it, and we can't imagine that this book is in the hands of your Terrans!"
After Hotaru Xiaoyu finished speaking, Lin Luxian and the six of them were all stunned, they didn't expect that this "Mystery of Things" was actually written by the Blue Shura clan, and it was no wonder that the author was not marked on this book.
Dian Pu nodded and said, "Wow, it turns out that you wrote this "Mystery of Things"! ”
Yes, this blue giant did appear in the past, but we have other purposes for respecting him as a god, Gonglian belongs to the Liaoxi Water Tribe, and we can learn about the Liaoxi Water Tribe, which is also conducive to our future takeover of the Liaozhou Continent. Later, we also built an underground palace for him in Daxianganling, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous for him, right!"
Hearing Hotaru Xiaoyu say this, everyone pointed their weapons at Hotaru Xiaoyu and surrounded him. Lin Luxian even shouted at him, "I can't imagine that you have always wanted to fight our Liaozhou Continent, you don't want to succeed!"
If you think you can stop this by killing me, then come on! I don't resist, I don't dodge. After Hotaru Xiaoyu finished speaking, there was no trace of fear on his face, but the corners of his mouth raised a smug smile, and after Lin Luxian and the others heard this, they could only put down the weapons they raised, and then went to the twentieth floor of the tower.
After climbing to the twelfth floor of the tower in disbelief, everyone noticed that the steps in the eleventh floor were much wider than before, allowing four or five people to go up side by side at a time, and the iron door at the end of the steps was much larger, and the door was not locked.
On the twelfth floor, there are six beds, desks, cabinets, washbasins, bathtubs, and the like. Except for the lack of electrical appliances, almost all daily necessities are available. The fruit bowl on the table was also piled with fruit. The stairs and iron gates leading to the top floor are also much wider than before. It is important to note that the steps are not disconnected from the iron gate, but are connected, and if the iron door is opened, you can walk up the steps directly. Lin Luxian and the others walked up the steps to observe, and found that the iron door leading to the top floor could not be opened, and it seemed that this last door could only be opened by the people on the top floor of the tower.
After everyone came down from the steps, Lan Bingyun hurriedly closed the iron door on the ground, and then looked out the window, and after confirming that there was no one outside the window, she said to everyone, "Now I am very hesitant, the Blue Shura Clan has taken care of the Heavenly Court Spirit that can make Yun Tianxun wake up, if we return all the court spirit in our body to Yun Tianhyun tomorrow, then the Blue Shura Clan will use Yun Tianxun to negotiate with the Protoss, then I am afraid that half of the land in the Liaozhou Continent will be owned by the Blue Shura Clan in the future!"
Xiao said, "Not necessarily, now in addition to the Blue Shura Clan, our Hades Clan, and the Demon Clan are all eyeing the rich Liaozhou Continent. Even if the Blue Shura Clan succeeds in negotiating with the Protoss, it will have to pass the barrier between our Hades and Demons first. ”
Lin Luxian said, "Maybe there is a worse situation, the Lan Shura people have dealt with the demon people before, it is not ruled out that they will form an alliance with the demon race in the future, and the underworld may also join this alliance, when the time comes, I am afraid that our human race will be attacked on the back, and the Liaozhou continent will be divided into several pieces... ”
Lan Bingyun said, "Yes, we will definitely not be able to follow Ying Xiaoyu to the top floor of the tower tomorrow, if we are controlled by these Lan Shura people, they will definitely forcibly extract the court spirit in our body, and when the time comes, they will really negotiate with the Protoss successfully, plus the Demon Race and the Hades Race, then the Human Race will have no place to stand!"
Dian Pu said: "Not necessarily, now the weapons of the Terrans are quite advanced, and they are already the overlords of the entire Liaozhou Continent! Even if the Divine Blue Demon Netherworld Alliance forces attack together, they may not be able to defeat the Terrans! I don't think there's anything to worry about." Let's eat first, then sleep peacefully, and when we return the court to Yun Tianhyun tomorrow, let's go around the world!"
Zhu Xinyan said: "Then we still have to be just in case, since we are here, we must make the right choice, and we can't let all the efforts along the way be in vain! I think we still have to return the court spirit in our body to Yun Tianhyun, but quietly, we must not let these Blue Shura people know! We have to steal the sleeping Yun Tianxun, and after returning the court spirit in our body to him, he will definitely leave after waking up, and then the bargaining chips between the Blue Shura Clan and the Protoss will not exist!"
Lan Bingyun shook his head, "No, Yun Tianhyun's most important Heavenly Soul is still in the hands of the Lan Shura Clan, without this Heavenly Spirit, even if the other five wisps of Heavenly Soul are all returned to his body, he will not wake up! We will not only steal Yun Tianxun out tomorrow, but also steal Yun Tianhyun's Heavenly Court Spirit! If all the court spirits can be returned to Yun Tianhyun's body, Yun Tianhyun will wake up completely and recover all his consciousness, and then the Lan Shura clan will not be able to control him." That's the best way to do it right now. ”
Xiao volunteered and said, "I'm not an entity now, although I can't touch Yun Tianhyun and the treasure box containing his heavenly court, but the weapon in my hand can hurt the Blue Shura people, but these Blue Shura people can't hurt me! ”
But I always feel that this method is too risky, what if there are too many Blue Shura people at the top of this level? Tomorrow, they will definitely send a lot of people to watch over us, if you act rashly, these Blue Shura people are afraid that they will attack us in groups, and we will definitely be more dangerous at that time!" Lan Bingyun said
What do we do? We're going to have to face them tomorrow. Now we are afraid that we can't run even if we want to, the top layer is the Blue Shura clan, even if Hotaru Xiaoyu is not guarding the eleventh layer, and the tenth layer is full of poisonous centipedes, we can't go up now, and it's difficult to go down!" Ao Yi said anxiously
Lin Luxian suddenly thought, "That's right! This Ying Xiaoyu! Isn't he guarding the eleventh layer? If he can stay on the eleventh layer alone, he must also be a figure in the Blue Shura Clan, maybe he is the patriarch of the Blue Shura Clan! We must control him and exchange him for Yun Tianhyun and the treasure chest containing his Heavenly Spirit!"
Hearing Lin Luxian say this, the rest of the people couldn't think of a better way for a while, so they had to agree. They are pressed for time, if they don't make a decision as soon as possible, then tomorrow, the Blue Shura people will make a choice for them!
Lin Luxian and the others slowly opened the iron door on the ground and quietly went down to the eleventh floor! Seeing that Hotaru Xiaoyu was already lying on the ground and asleep, Xiao hurriedly and quietly touched him and put the spear on his chest, and the rest of the people immediately pounced, one covered his mouth, two held his hand, and the other two pressed his foot! And Hotaru Xiaoyu, who was awakened, struggled hard, as if he was killing a pig! Then, Lin Luxian and the others put Hotaru Xiaoyu up to the twelfth floor of the tower. Hotaru Xiaoyu was tied to a standing cabinet, and her mouth was stuffed with a towel. Lan Bingyun hung a sheet in front of the window to prevent the Lan Shura people from peeping on them outside the window.
Lin Luxian said proudly, "It's okay now, I don't believe it, when the time comes, these Blue Shura people will not care about Hotaru Xiaoyu's life or death!" and the tied Hotaru Xiaoyu shook his head helplessly after hearing this...
In the early morning of the next day, the door to the top of the twelfth floor of the tower was opened, and a group of Blue Shura people with spears came down the steps. Lin Luxian and the others hurriedly showed their weapons and resisted Hotaru Xiaoyu, who was tied up by five flowers in front of them. Among these Blue Shura people, there was a man who wore armor and seemed to be the captain, and he said to Lin Luxian and the others, "Welcome envoys, don't be nervous, envoys, we will lead you up to the top of this tower. Oh, by the way, since the envoys have tied up the death row prisoner Hotaru Xiaoyu, let's take him with you. ”
Lin Luxian and the others were shocked in their hearts: "What!
