178. Altar of Flames

Seeing that the stones that fell to the ground turned into a pool of water vapor in an instant, Ma Xiaoxiao was afraid for a while. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info's hands unconsciously grabbed Yuxi's arm around her waist.

"What's going on? How did the stone suddenly sublimate into water vapor? ”

Ma Xiaoxiao said with a shocked face.

"The crux of the problem should come from there."

The fox king Mei Niang floated beside Ma Xiaoxiao and Youxi, raising her hand to point to the fiery red altar not far ahead.

When he was falling rapidly in the air, Ma Xiaoxiao also thought about this fiery place. At the beginning, her body was directly above him. When he was about to get close to the ground, he was blown away from the area by a gust of wind blowing from below.

At this time, Ma Xiaoxiao regained his body and looked there again. Suddenly, I found that this bright and fiery place was actually an altar burning with flames.

The totemic shapes carved around the altar are very ancient, and Ma Xiaoxiao has never heard of or seen them. From the tiny pattern on the periphery, to the center of the altar. It covers an area almost the size of a football field.

There are many patterns on the outside of the altar, plus many ancient characters that are wrong between the patterns, and Ma Xiaoxiao does not recognize them at all. But in the center of the altar, where the light of the entire burning altar shines brightest. And the pattern carved there is also the clearest. With just a glance, Ma Xiaoxiao could instantly recognize what the pattern in the center of the altar was?

Suzaku! The totem of the ancient mythical beast Vermilion Bird, wrapped in the surrounding flames, the Vermilion Bird totem in the center of the altar is lifelike, almost wanting to spread its wings and fly high.

Floating in the air more than ten meters away from the altar, Ma Xiaoxiao clearly felt the temperature of the air around him, the closer he got to the altar, the higher the temperature. Although she was still more than ten meters away from the altar, Ma Xiaoxiao could clearly feel that the scorching air in the direction of the altar could almost roast the clothes on her body.

This is still outside the altar, but what if it is actually inside the altar? What horrible heat that would be.

Ma Xiaoxiao remembered that when he was blown away from the top of the altar by the air current, he clearly felt as if he had touched an invisible barrier. Perhaps it was precisely because of this clear barrier that the high temperature inside the altar did not leak easily.

"Who are you? Why is it here? ”

Just when Ma Xiaoxiao, Fox King Mei Niang, and Youxi were still speculating about the mysterious altar in front of them. A loud shout suddenly came from within the canyon, interrupting their train of thought.

Looking for the direction from which the voice came from, Ma Xiaoxiao and the three of them hurriedly raised their heads and looked at the cliff on one side.

I don't know when, on the cliff on one side of them, a woman dressed in white suddenly appeared, holding a red lantern in her hand, standing there.

Because of the distance and light, Ma Xiaoxiao tried his best to see clearly that the woman in white who suddenly appeared was not floating in the air like them. Instead, he was standing at the edge of the cave in the cliff wall, holding a red lantern in his hand, and was looking down at the few of them.

"What do I ask you? Who are you? Why is it here. ”

When she spoke, the voice of the woman in white was obviously full of hostility and vigilance. It seems that once Ma Xiaoxiao and the others say something wrong, she will immediately take action.

"This sister, are you from Tianshan Yaochi?"

Ma Xiaoxiao saw the clothes on the woman's body, and suddenly remembered the Ice Heart Fairy she saw when she was at home in Taihang Valley, as well as her two junior sisters Qinghe and Pure Land, and the three of them were also dressed in white long clothes, just like the woman who suddenly appeared. After thinking about it, since this place is a Tianshan mountain range, it is inaccessible. A person dressed similarly to the disciples of Tianshan Yaochi suddenly appeared here, and to a large extent, the other party may be a disciple of Tianshan Yaochi.

When the woman in white heard Ma Xiaoxia's words, she revealed her identity, not only was her eyes not happy, but her expression became even colder.

"Tell me who you are, or die!"

Ma Xiaoxiao didn't expect that he had guessed the other party's origin, and the other party's attitude not only did not improve, but suddenly became colder.

"This sister, don't be angry, we have something to say. My name is Ma Xiaoxiao, and I am a descendant of the Ma family of the Ma clan of the exorcist dragon clan, and this time I came to Tianshan Yaochi to ask for a meeting with the Snow Maiden's seniors. ”

"You said you were a descendant of the Ma family of the Exorcist Dragon Clan?"

The woman in white suddenly raised her voice when she spoke, and there was deep surprise in her tone.

"That's right, I am the only descendant of the contemporary Ma family, Ma Xiaoxiao. When I was in Taihang Mountain, I also met the Ice Heart Fairy and the other two senior sisters from your sect. ”

Hearing Ma Xiaoxiao mention the Ice Heart Fairy, the woman in white already believed a lot in Ma Xiaoxiao's identity. When he spoke again, his tone was much softer.

"Since you are a descendant of the Ma family, why don't you go to the mountain and appear here instead."

"That's a bit of a long story. This sister, can we go up first? If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to last long. ”

Ma Xiaoxiao gradually felt the gloom behind him, and his body had begun to tremble slightly. Although Youxi has reached the level of cultivation of the Demon King, floating in the air with a person like this still consumes a huge amount of his spiritual power. If this continues, once the spiritual power in Youxi's body is consumed, I'm afraid that their fate will be the same as the stone they saw earlier.

"Okay, then you can come up first."

With the consent of the woman in white, Ma Xiaoxiao and the three of them immediately flew towards the cave where she was.

Under the light of the woman in white, Ma Xiaoxiao and the three finally landed safely. Feeling the feeling of being down-to-earth again, Ma Xiaoxiao's heart that had been hanging finally landed.

"Huh~~ I finally survived~"

For the rest of Ma Xiaoxiao's life, he let out a big breath of turbidity. When his heart finally settled down, Ma Xiaoxiao hurriedly thanked the woman in white: "What do you call my sister?" My name is Ma Xiaoxiao, thank you for saving us. ”

"Tianshan Yaochi's disciple, Bing Ling. Now it's time for you to tell me how the hell you got here. ”

Ice Spirit continued with the question he had just asked.

"Speaking of this, I'm on fire in my belly, Senior Sister Bingling, the three of us caught up with the avalanche on the mountain, fled for our lives in a panic all the way, and finally ran to the edge of a cliff. With no way back, I jumped off a cliff. That's when I came here from the edge of my life. ”

When Ma Xiaoxiao spoke, he still had a scared look on his face.

"By the way, Senior Sister Bingling, what kind of place is this? I remember that more than half an hour has passed since we fell from the cliff, and this is already a few thousand meters underground in the Tianshan Mountains? (To be continued.) )
