The Road to Heaven

"The water level is dropping!"

Even without Li Zao's reminder beside him, Yan Long's eyes were not blind, and he could naturally see that the water level in the canal in the embankment surrounding the ruins was slowly decreasing.

"Young Master, do you want someone to explore underwater?"

The butler's proposal was not accepted by Yan Long, his eyes fixed on the water level, thoughtful. Then he waved his hand and said, "Wait." ”

Although the head of the goshawk tribe, Tsusa, said that the ruins have a limited time to open and close. Perhaps there is a way to extend it, and that is the Blood Sacrifice. To put it bluntly, it is to use human life to fill the lack of time.

But Yanlong didn't have this plan, after all, the people of the Barbarian Bull tribe were not easy to kill, and their own people couldn't be killed. In terms of Lytton's attitude, this is a hardliner who would rather burn everything than compromise. As for their own people? Yan Long believed that as long as the evil example of killing his subordinates was opened, his men would probably defect.

When the time comes, the team that has deviated from morality may not even be able to control the noble Yanlong.

Soon, three or four tiny horn cavities appeared in the water, and anyone who lived near the water knew that it was supposed to be a whirlpool. I am afraid that there will be a pipe gushing channel under the water to form such a whirlpool.

Time passes little by little.

Just when Yan Long's heart was as anxious as a fire, the hole under the water that Li Zao had just described appeared against the embankment. Not just a cavern, it appears to be a row, appearing regularly on the side of the embankment near the ruins. Each hole seemed to be the same distance, and when you poked your head out of the embankment, you could see a line of black dots that stretched into the distance.

Yan Long's gaze stretched into the distance, but in his heart was the mode of the battle between heaven and man. Underground caverns, passages, may hide great dangers. Even...... After going down, can you still come up?

He didn't even approve of the way Lytton got into the water.

How could jade possibly be displayed with wadang? Yanlong is a nobleman, and his life is precious, more precious than ordinary people who look up to nobles imagine. In the eyes of the aristocracy, taking risks is evasion, profligacy, and it is definitely not a choice that a qualified nobleman should make. But in the ruins, he simply had no better choice. On the ground, he had sent people to search all the suspicious areas, but found nothing. Not to mention the real entrance to the ruins, he didn't even find the exit of the ruins.

Trapped in the ruins, once the food is exhausted, the dragon and his guards will have no choice but to die.

Gritting his teeth, he made up his mind, and Yan Long spoke: "Everyone prepare, wait for the water level at the entrance of the cave to drop enough to pass, and then go into the water." I'm taking the lead. ”

"Young Master!" The housekeeper wants to stop.

But he was rudely interrupted by Yan Long: "Don't say more, my strength is the strongest here, and only my head formation can have the opportunity to enter the center of the ruins at the fastest speed." Whether it's to get the treasure of the ruins. Or looking for an exit, it is the best choice. Some of you have been following me for a long time, and you should know that the exit of many ruins is in the center. ”

Yan Long's unquestionable decision would most likely buy him and his guards a little time.

Deep underground, Lytton and the warriors of the Bull Tribe laboriously pushed away a boulder that was blocking their path.

"One, two, three, work hard!"

"One, two, three, work hard!"

Bang......

When the boulder was pushed away, a dark hole was revealed, and the tunnel seemed to be unknown how deep. This is already one of the more than ten boulders that Lytton and they pushed away, from the courage at the beginning to the hesitation and helplessness now.

No one knows if the path behind the boulder will be a suffocating and hopeless repetition.

Bang la blah

It was the gurgling sound of running water, which seemed to have been repeated seven or eight times before. Lei Hu sat on the ground with his butt and wailed: "It's still a waterway, Lao Tzu can't bear it, don't go, don't go!" ”

It's not just Lei Hu who wants to vent in his heart, in fact, everyone in the team is full of violent emotions. Like a beast that has been teased many times, the howl of anger cannot be avoided. But as the leader, Lytton can't show such emotions, because once he chooses to give up, they will completely loosen the nerve in their hearts and completely lose hope of leaving here.

Lei Ju also understood this truth, and roared and yelled at Lei Hu: "Stand up for Lao Tzu, a little useless waste." If you dare to shake the army's heart again, Lao Tzu will beat you to death. ”

The threat worked, at least Lei Hu stood up with a grunt, and muttered with a smirk: "You will bully me, you have been bullying me since I was a child......"

Facing his younger brother's chattering fullness, Lei Ju's eyebrows jumped, but there was nothing he could do. Who made him such a brother?

There were only a few torches prepared, and Litton thought for a while, but then said, "Light another torch." ”

It is very dangerous to walk in discoloration, let alone in an unknown underground cavern?

The role of the torch will be infinitely magnified, and it will even become the starting point of the source of people's confidence. Perhaps only a small flame can bring some comfort and security. Once the torch is gone, the speed of movement is greatly impaired, and unnecessary damage can be caused.

Lytton was the first to step into the hole, and soon followed closely behind him.

Everyone already has a deep tacit understanding and follows the people in front.

Unlike the previous path, this time Lytton actually felt the wind on his cheeks, and the deeper he went down the hole, the stronger the wind seemed to be. After walking for about ten minutes, a huge cavern appeared in front of him. Even at the edge of the cave, there is no other side to be seen. And in the cavern, a dark red river emits an eerie red light.

The thick smell of blood that accompanies it.

It's like being in an area where predators have hunted animals, getting heavier and heavier. Until the moment they reached the edge of the crimson river, Lyton's face was defeated.

The river is not wide, it can even be said to be narrow.

It's about ten meters wide. The water of the river is like fresh blood, with a bright red color. This is the first feeling that comes to mind when you get closer. Coupled with the strong smell of blood and the stench of decay, people standing by the river feel dizzy and uncomfortable.

Lytton turned around and reminded, "Be careful, don't fall into the river." ”

In fact, there was no need for him to remind everyone to stay away from the river. Anyone can spot something strange in a river, and no one would think that a rancid river of blood is safe. What's more, a sticky bubble often pops up on the surface of the river.

Look!

Suddenly, Aoki pointed to a black protrusion on the surface of the river, and everyone fixed their eyes and fell silent.

"It's human!" Silly and bold Thunder Tiger discernmented.

To be precise, it should have been a dead man, a man in armor who lay on his back in the river of blood. If you get closer, you can even see that the flesh on the faces of the dead soldiers has rotted, and some only have a few holes, but they don't look like normal decay, and the whole human skull shows a black color.

Lei Ju asked cautiously: "Won't it be the team of Yin soldiers we followed?" ”

"Quite possibly." Lytton swallowed hard. Thinking of how he followed a group of 'things' that are not human or ghost, his heart is full of hair, and goosebumps on his body are raised.

On the contrary, Wu was very calm, and even unexpectedly relaxed, and after carefully examining the condition of the river, Wu firmly said: "It's the River of Pain." Forged with fresh blood, coupled with ancient spells, the soul of the most powerful warrior can be imprisoned in the body, and even if the body is rotten, it can have great combat power. ”

"But...... They don't seem to look like ...... at all."

Wu smiled, "That's because the things they are guarding have not been plundered. Otherwise, all the pain warriors will awaken at the moment of awakening, and there is only one thing in their eyes - that is, killing. ”

Pain Warriors?

If it was an immortal undead, perhaps Lei Ju would be afraid of its strange abilities, but if it was an ordinary warrior, even if he maintained a strong combat power, he would not be afraid. Disdainfully: "It's just a group of lifeless dry bones, not much to say." ”

Wu disagreed: "Immortality and immortality do not exist, but it is said that the condition for the sacrifice of a painful warrior is an awakened warrior." ”

Awakened Warriors?

Were the ancient ancestors crazy?

It's no wonder that Lei Ju was surprised, you can imagine how rare awakened warriors are nowadays. It seems that he is so far from the Awakened Warrior in terms of strength.

An old sigh came from the witch's mouth, and he looked up at the high ground ahead, but there was nothing. But Wu knew that at the end of the river of blood was the altar of the Djinn King. There may be crises above the altar, but more of an opportunity. Once you get the treasure of the Djinn King, even an ordinary person will gain unimaginable power.

Wu Jianyi's eyes swept in front of everyone, and then fell on Lyton's face, and said in an unquestionable voice: "Follow me!" ”

"The others followed the leader."

After speaking, Wu seemed to be chattering, but as the amplitude of Wu's lips became larger and larger, his body seemed to be covered with a layer of light, shining around him. Lei Ju and the others were ignorant, but they didn't dare to refute Wu's decision. Only Lytton knew that Wu was reciting a spell, but he didn't know what Wu was doing.

It is estimated that there is a meal time, Wu firmly took the first step, and the scene around him seemed to have changed.

The boiling river of blood was gone, turning into a stone staircase that towered in front of them. The stone steps are as if they were newly built, without a trace of wear, but have a polished luster throughout.

Howl –

Howls of pain came and went, but Wu didn't know it. And Litton followed Wu step by step towards the high platform, with so much eyesight that even he seemed to see the strength of the steps, as if there was a square altar.

And there seemed to be a faint light on the altar.

Suddenly, Lei Hu shouted: "Aoki, Aoki is gone." ”

Wu didn't speak, and Lytton didn't dare to look back. Because Wu warned him when he took the first step, don't look back, and once he turns back, the soul of pain will entangle him.

One step, one step.

I don't know how long I walked, even Lytton felt numb, and the footsteps behind him disappeared. At this moment, Lytton's heart was terrified, and he wanted to look back, even if it was just a glance.

But the altar didn't seem far away, and Litton could even see that there was a throne on the altar, and there was a certain crown on the throne, floating in the void above the throne. Just as the last stone staircase was about to end, Wu Yi stumbled, and then fell on top of the stone steps. Litton hurriedly helped him, but found that Wu's body didn't seem to have any weight worth it at all, and the moment he turned Wu over, he was surprised: "Wu, what happened, you will be so old?" ”

"It's just a sacrifice to the soul."

Wu's expression was unusually relaxed, as if he was not talking about him. Then he tried to push Litton and said intermittently, "Quick...... Get on it...... Take the crown and find a way to get out, and the Barbarian Bull Tribe will have to rely on you in the future. ”

"No!"

Lytton roared helplessly, but the witch's appearance became fainter and fainter, and finally turned into a ball of starlight and dissipated.

There seems to be only one option left for Lytton.

Ascend to the altar.

Take the crown.

Find a way to get out of the ruins.

……

His hands and feet were heavy as if they had been filled with lead, but he could only overcome his body, which was already on the verge of collapse, and when Lytton ascended the altar, he was surprised to find a man, only one man, who was as weak as he was.

"It's you!"

"You're finally here."

Lytton and Yanlong didn't see each other for a long time, and their goal seemed to be the floating crown on the altar.

Lytton tried to reach for the crown, but was surprised to find that he had passed through the inside of the crown with nothing in his hand.

"Don't bother, it's useless." Yanlong seemed to want to laugh, but he didn't know whether to laugh at himself or at Lyton's futility.

Litton gritted his teeth and said, "It's useless, I'll give it a try." But in the end, Lytton sat on the throne in discouragement, and said angrily: "I don't believe it...... Can't catch you......"

Lytton, who was originally going to rest for a while and continue, but the moment he sat on the throne, a dazzling golden light burst out from the throne, like meteors, shooting out.

And the next moment, the body seemed to be under control, unable to move. And a torrent is like a beast that tears everything through his body, is it energy?

Or is it from an ancient tradition?

The impact became more and more intense, and even if Litton gritted his teeth, he could not bear the strength that became stronger and stronger each time. Like a hundred thousand volts of electricity, it hit his soul and body. Knowing that he was confused, completely slumped on top of the throne.

In the electrotherapy room of Yunhua Psychiatric Hospital, a young man was tied to an electric chair and collapsed into a mess of mud. With a dull look in his eyes, he was picked up by a poor male nurse and sent to a wheelchair and sent to a special confinement ward.

In the electrotherapy room, the doctor looked at the last patient to receive electrotherapy, Yanlong.

The corners of Yan Long's mouth trembled, but he still had a kind of noble aura from above, and he angrily rebuked: "I am the royal family of the Fire King City, you humble slaves, you shouldn't do this to me!" ”

The doctor had long been surprised, and said with a smile: "Okay, my highness, your nemesis, the leader of the Barbarian Bull tribe, Lidun, has tried with the greatest courage, but in the end failed. Are you also holding back? ”

Three big characters are written on the hospital gown on the chest of the mentally ill Yan Long, 2018. He was silent for a while, then raised his head and said slowly: "As a descendant of the royal family, I have the pride of a king, well, I accept your provocations. ”

"As you wish." The doctor is used to talking nonsense with his group of patients, anyway, after a long time in a psychiatric hospital, normal people will be abnormal.

Yan Long, who was sitting in the electric chair, suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the doctor's white coat, and pleaded: "I want to accept a stronger challenge than Lytton, you will give me the maximum." ”

The doctor didn't pay attention, but after breaking free from Yanlong, he pressed his hand on the button, and the moment the current was turned on, the screams exploded like thunder, which was deafening. In less than five seconds, the screaming came to an abrupt end...... And the corners of Yan Long's mouth were the same as those of his patient Lyton, with a smile that meant from heaven.
