Chapter 24: The Monument Stranger

It's okay to continue the pursuit, but the Demon Tribulation Pass has just been lost and regained, and there must be no more mistakes, and the powerful people must be left here to guard. Chu Xiong thought to himself: his demon soul is still sleeping, and participating in the pursuit will not play a role. But the beast demons don't know this truth, as long as they keep their hands on the Demon Tribulation Pass, it will definitely greatly deter the beast demons, so that they don't dare to risk turning back and attacking the Demon Tribulation Pass.

So, Chu Xiong decided to take a group of people to stay behind in the Demon Tribulation Pass, including Yuqi, Ji Yu, Liu Feng, Feng and others, and of course, there are some good sect protectors. These protectors are also great demons, and like Youda, they are reluctant to participate in the attack on the beast gathering place.

However, Enchanter had to go. She and Chu Xiong are the main and deputy commanders of this campaign, and if they stay together, it is really unreasonable. Moreover, it will give people the illusion of self-respect and passive sabotage.

"Da, be careful all the way. If you encounter major resistance, don't be foolish and insist. Chu Xiong said, straightening the sword on Youda's waist, and helping the very majestic helmet above her head.

"Got it, take care. As she spoke, she turned around and shouted, "Enter!"

There is a clear distinction between public and private, and he is a qualified commander.

Before the Demon Tribulation, Chu Xiong had been watching Youda and the others until the figures of the hundreds of people disappeared on the horizon. And when he turned around, he saw an old man tapping something in front of the stone tablet.

This stele records the glory of the Demon Tribulation Pass for thousands of years. The dense handwriting on it all represents a generation of powerful demons. In particular, the blue handwriting representing the realm of the Eight Rings Great Demon, as well as the red and dazzling words "Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix", make people feel admiration and fear.

At this time, the old man was holding a steel chisel and knocking on the stele respectfully. Chu Xiong walked over to take a look, but saw that the blue word "Zhu Yan" had been engraved. Subsequently, he scribbled several names with a black pen, such as "Zhu Qian", etc., all of which were the seven-ring demons who fell this time.

The handwriting is vigorous and meticulous. Chu Xiong looked at it with a feeling of relaxation and joy. At the same time, there is an inexplicable sense of pride.

However, Chu Xiong found that this old man was not wearing the uniform costume of the Youyue Sect. A simple linen outfit with a pair of straw sandals made of small rushes. Who is he?

"Yuqi, who is he?" Chu Xiong turned around and asked.

Yuqi shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, and said: "I've only heard before, every time after the Demon Tribulation Pass battle, the name of the dead demon will appear on this stone tablet inexplicably. Than tonight, I just killed a big demon, and it will appear early tomorrow morning. The sect has also investigated, and even secretly watched, but no one has been seen. But this time this time this person suddenly appeared, it is really strange. ”

Chu Xiong found it interesting, very interesting. He strode forward, only to see that the old man had put away the steel chisel, and his tall body stood up straight, and sighed.

"I don't know what to call this senior?" Chu Xiong hugged his fists and laughed.

The old man didn't speak, but wiped the stone chips on the stele with his sleeve, and without even looking back, he said hoarsely, "I forgot." This chisel is for you, good life and safekeeping, the bitter cold domain, its own usefulness. ”

After saying that, the mysterious person who carved the monument rose straight into the air. The speed was so fast that it was terrifying, and it disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Chu Xiong and Yu Qi were shocked, and they couldn't see that this old man had such terrifying strength. The breath did not let out at all, and he looked like an ordinary old man. But once the sky flies, the speed is far faster than that of Youda and Zhu Yan!

Chu Xiongmu looked at his hand, and there was an extra black steel chisel. This steel chisel is only more than a foot long, and the thickness of an adult's thumb is as thin as an adult's, so I can't see the slightest speciality. But when you hold it in your hand, it feels warm. It's a little strange that a steel thing should radiate warmth in this icy weather.

Chu Xiong looked at the "Zhu Yan" that had just been engraved, as well as the more than twenty names, and suddenly thought of something!

So, he quickly passed through the Demon Tribulation Pass and returned to the cave with a diameter of more than a foot on the mountain wall of the pass.

"Xiong, what's wrong with you?" asked Yuqi puzzled.

"Don't ask so much, take me to the hole above!"

Entering the cave and crossing the bottom of the lake, Chu Xiong and Yuqi came to the huge cave at the bottom of the wide lake again. It's the first time for Yuqi to come here, and everything feels fresh and surprising to see. As for Chu Xiong, he gasped-

On a high platform on the left, Zhu Yan's huge corpse was bound by three steel cables, and his head hung weakly. On the huge skull was a bloody hole left by the removal of the demon crystal, and the lower abdomen was also dissected, revealing that its blood essence had also been removed. And all of this was done by Chu Xiong. However, the two huge wounds were no longer bleeding, as if they had coagulated.

"By all means...... It must have been done by the mysterious old man who carved the stele!" Chu Xiong exclaimed, "Oh my God, how did he do it! Zhu Yan's huge body was actually transported in from that small hole with a diameter of more than a foot?"

This was the first time that Chu Xiong was shocked by the Xuanqi of the Soul Martial Realm. Previously, Chu Xiong always felt that with the memory of the third life, he could turn over the rivers and seas, the rain and the clouds in this soul martial world. Although his strength is not very strong, it is progressing very quickly. He even thought that in a few years, he would be able to stand at the top of the world.

However, the appearance of this mysterious old man completely subverted his understanding. Many extremely strange things have now appeared in front of him, and they can't be explained.

Yuqi listened to Chu Xiong's doubts, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, why don't we look for it and see if there are other entrances and exits hidden in this cave?"

"Don't look for it, look at the smooth four walls. Chu Xiong said, "Actually, being able to transport Zhu Yan's huge body in is only one of them. There's another one that you didn't pay attention to. ”

"What?" Yuqi was both curious and surprised. If this is just one of many mysteries, then what else is even more incredible?

So, Chu Xiong pulled Yuqi again, returned to the stone tablet in front of the Demon Tribulation Pass, pointed to the dense small characters on it and said, "Have you paid attention, these handwritings on the stone tablet?"

"What's wrong?"

"This newly engraved 'Zhu Yan' is completely the same person's handwriting as the previous eight-ring demon names 'Qiqi', 'Qingluan', etc. In other words, they were all engraved by the mysterious old man. Chu Xiong's eyes were a little cold. In my heart, there was a lot of shock and incomprehension.

"What's that...... Yes...... No!" Yuqi suddenly covered her mouth and said in shock: "The eight-ring demon who died under the Demon Tribulation Pass 1,500 years ago! Qingluan died 1,700 years ago?! Oh my God, you said that the old man who carved the monument actually lived for at least 1,700 years?!"

"You see, the handwriting on the stele for 2,000 years is entirely from the same person, that is, this mysterious old man. Chu Xiong nodded heavily, and said, "It's ridiculous! At the beginning, I really underestimated this mysterious soul martial world! In the dark, I don't know how many guys who defy the sky are lurking. ”

Yu Qi was completely shocked at this time, looking at the stone tablet stupidly.

Chu Xiong shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, let's step up your cultivation." You never know the edge of the next realm until you reach the peak of one realm. In the past few days, you have cultivated hard and tried to recover to the realm of the Seven Rings Great Demon as soon as possible. And I have other important things to do. ”

With that, Chu Xiong hurriedly returned to the castle tower of the Demon Tribulation Pass. Walk along the castle tower to a small room next to it, where Yu and Liu Feng lived.

At this time, two women, one big and one small, were simply sorting out some things, and their faces were flat. Chu Xiong noticed that in this small room, there were two small beds - the two of them were finally "separated"?

"It's been a long time since you've been here, why did you suddenly think of me?" Yu teased.

Chu Xiong walked over with a smile and said, "If you have nothing to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Palace, and you have something to ask for." ”

"You don't have a conscience!" Yu muttered, slamming the thing in his hand onto the bed. It seemed that it was not the pillow that was hit, but Chu Xiong, which made Chu Xiong a little surprised. 's understanding of women made him realize that he seemed to have some weight in Yu Meiren's heart.

And Liu Feng on the side saw this scene, and walked out with his head down without saying anything. is very calm, leaving Chu Xiong and Yu a separate space. But before leaving, Chu Xiong always felt that the little beauty was a little angry.

"What's the matter, the little girl still can't adjust her mentality?" Chu Xiong asked with a smile.

"It's much better, but it's still a little grumpy. Yu also seemed to be much calmer. After all, after so many days of adaptation, Liu Feng must have begun to get used to it. Yu said again: "Say, what's the matter, it won't be refining pills." ”

"Bing Xue is smart!" Chu Xiong snorted, but he was actually a little reluctant in his heart. Indeed, apart from finding someone else to alchemy, he has almost nothing else to do. "I'm wondering if I can refine some more Bone Nourishing Muscle Pills, preferably even the Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Pill!

"You...... You don't have a fever, right?" Yu even took the initiative to reach out and touch Chu Xiong's head. That hand was as warm as jade, but there was no mess, it was nothing more than Yu sighing at Chu Xiong's madness. "The best elixir, you said that you will refine it? What else do you say about ten or eight pills?! Even if the medicinal materials are ready, it is thank God that you can refine them! However, what is the use of asking for so many top-grade pills?"

"It's so useful!" Chu Xiong said with a smile, "Say, do you have any confidence?!" Don't worry, I can always help you massage and stick to the end." ”

"Virtue!" Yu glanced at him, thinking of the scene of Chu Xiong touching his body during the alchemy, and couldn't help blushing slightly. However, the allure of refining the best elixir is always extremely powerful for a Dan Sect. She calmed down and said, "The most important bone condensing jade for refining the Bone Nourishing Muscle Pill, after I used it up last time, I got some more from the sect, which is easy to say." However, refining the Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Pill lacked the most important two medicinal herbs, Meteor Tears and Soul Renewal Grass. Without these two things, don't think about refining the Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Pill. ”
