Chapter 318: Embark on the Lost Continent
The Lost Continent.
The glow, the dense fog, the blue blizzard, and the red flames flashed alternately from time to time, and this was the strange scene that kept flashing outside the entrance of the Lost Continent.
The old merchant in front of the top wall gently stroked the goatee he had condensed with energy, and floated around in front of Zhao Yili and Kashana to tell the glorious history of these five lost guardians, which was both funny and weird.
"The reason why you have been sent here is because we have discovered that according to the method of the Shadow Earth, this catastrophe on the earth should not come in fifty years, but because of the degree of human destruction of nature, this time has been greatly shortened, I am afraid that it will happen in ten years, when the sea level rises sharply, and two-thirds of the existing land will be covered by the ocean, and it is inevitable that life will be destroyed.
"The White Dragon, the Black Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, the Xuanwu, and the Qilin are the top guardians of the world who are now all in the Lost Continent. You two have to wake them all up before there is a way to solve this big problem.
"White Dragon, if you look at it purely from the grade, I'm afraid he should be the earliest existing guardian on the earth, and his comprehensive strength is also recognized as the top three within the guardians, but it is precisely because he has such a strong strength, and the corresponding obsession is getting deeper and deeper, so after guarding the earth for many years, he was gradually troubled by obsession and lost in the world of trials.
Of course, most of the other four people are in a similar situation, although the realm has reached a point where they are beyond the reach of ordinary people, and there is no difference between life and death, but the most uncomfortable thing is that life is better than death. ”
"What does it mean that there is no difference between life and death?" Zhao Yili said his and Kashanna's common feelings at this time.
"Hehe, you see me like this, although it looks like I'm only in my fifties, but in fact I'm over 800 years old, you don't have to be surprised, at my actual age, in front of a few guardians, I can only be regarded as a junior.
The previous generations of civilization in this era of yours, after unremitting efforts, have gradually found a way to live forever, that is, soul reincarnation, when the cultivator is strong enough to find a strong enough carrier to carry this soul, he can carry out soul fusion in a specific way, so as to achieve soul reincarnation, the purpose of immortality in disguise.
It's not a fantasy, it's the result of a cutting-edge experiment brought about by technology.
Because the soul ability is too strong, these strong people who have experienced forced soul fusion, every once in a while, they have to go into retreat to improve the body's ability to adapt to the soul, and the most ideal retreat place is the Lost Continent.
A hundred years ago, Dragon Tiger was the first to go into retreat, and he has not appeared for nearly a hundred years. Then there are Suzaku and Xuanwu, who also started retreat decades ago, only Qilin herself is careful enough, and before the retreat, she accepted two apprentices, and under some guidance, she began to practice in retreat with confidence. ”
At this time, the old merchant seemed to have experienced centuries in his heart, eased his tone, took a sip of tea, and then continued:
"Because of the attributes, I have assigned these five guardians for you, two for each of them, and when all four are awakened, you will go and awaken the last one together."
The two of them nodded in agreement, but there were still some questions, so Zhao Yili asked:
"How are we going to find them, and how are we going to wake them up?"
The old merchant smiled: "It's not difficult to find their ways and means, after you put your consciousness into the space where their trials are, you will naturally be able to find them, you don't need to ask why, you will naturally know when the time comes." The test is mainly to test your strain, good and evil obsessions, or other things. Once you've found the Guardians, you'll have to find a way to wake them up on your own, sorry because I don't know how to wake them up. ”
"You're just sending sheep into the tiger's mouth, forget it, I don't care about this. So how do we exit, after success or failure? Kashana asked a more realistic question, she didn't want to spend herself and Zhao here indefinitely because of the test.
Only then did the old merchant take out two red gems with a glow from the shadows, and said, "It's very simple, when you want to leave, you will concentrate, hold this gem tightly, and think that you can leave." ”
After speaking, he waved his sleeves and opened the door to the trial for the two of them.
