The human world, the southeast of Nanjun, Yunling

Since the last farewell in Peach Blossom Dock, the group of the Neutral Alliance led by Ilya has not been in contact with the leader Odin Lufas for a long time, they have not participated in the war between the Terrans and the Black Stone Demon Clan like Lupas and the Holy Phoenix, they have been wandering in the cloud ridge in the Gayana realm of the human world, in the primeval forest that is hot and humid all year round. According to what Ilya said before, when he was in the Black Stone Demon Clan, when he visited the Demon Mourning, he occasionally saw a parchment map, on which a place was marked, and there was a detailed map of the location, and the ancient text written in human blood on it was "Yunling, Nine Lands." ”

Yunling Mountain Range, belongs to a residual vein of the infinite mountain range that extends from the north, the average altitude is very high, and is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, the air is humid, there are a large number of vast primeval forests between the valleys, most of the trees are tropical towering giant trees, the environment in the valley is closed, the air is difficult to circulate, and few winds can blow in, so there are often miasma dyed by the plant itself, and it accumulates in the air, forming a miasma poisonous mist with high toxicity, and, according to the farmers and hunters near Yunling, There are countless fierce beasts and poisonous weeds and poisonous insects in the Yunling Valley, once they are poisoned or encounter big insects and beasts, they will definitely die, so the average person here does not dare to enter easily, and even the hunters only dare to wander near the mouth of the valley to find hunting opportunities, and do not dare to go deep into the valley.

Since going deep into the depths of the Cloud Mountains, Ilya's group of people have felt very uncomfortable, but fortunately, Soulless has a gas mask, which is a translucent ice silkworm mask, this rare mask can protect the eyes and respiratory tract and prevent poisoning, Loki, Sicily and Ilya have all worn this kind of mask, so they have not been eroded by the miasma poisonous mist to erode their respiratory tract, but there are too many bugs here, especially a nobleman like Sicily, who has been pampered since childhood, where has he ever been to such a ghost place, and he muttered non-stop along the way.

Ruth Sicily, as one of the two evil gods of the former Failu Protoss, there are many things about him that are not known, for example, before the actual controller of the Failu Protoss Divine Punishment Division was only him, and Loki was only the nominal administrator, never paying attention to the affairs of the Divine Punishment Division; Another example is that he is the head of the royal family of the Failu Divine Clan, these are all ulterior secrets, but the secret that he cares about the most is unknown to no one except his partner Loki: that is his true character.

Like Loki, Ji and others, as an "old man" who is nearly 100 years old, he also has a young face and a young and strong body, but he is different from Loki and others...... His true character is really only in his twenties, and he likes what young people do and doesn't like the rigidity of older people. During the previous period, because there was an Odysseus who was just as noisy as him, it wasn't a big problem, but since Sicily and Odysseus were divided into two different groups, he had to face the three cold faces of Elijah, Loki and Soulless every day, and he sometimes felt that it was a little out of place to stay in this group.

Walking in the dense rainforest valley, each plant looks twice as big as the outside, four people line up in a small column, as if in this primeval forest is constantly struggling, looking up can not see the sky, a few sunlight shines into the valley, sprinkled on the dense plant stems and leaves, is almost completely absorbed by the heavy green, and only a small part of the light that can shine on the bottom of the forest.

"Soulless, can your compass still work? I remember every watershed enforcer carrying a compass with them. Ilya, who was at the front, asked as she walked.

After hearing this, Soulless, who was following behind Ilya, reached into the card wallet on his belt with his right hand and groped, and he took out a silver-plated compass, and immediately said, "Yes, but it doesn't seem to work." As he spoke, he shook the compass, but the needle only pointed diagonally to the right front, and the soulless turned around, but the pointer changed with his body.

"Magnetization, magnetization here." Loki immediately realized.

"But what does this have to do with the compass, and we haven't lost our way?" Sicily touched the back of his head and asked confusedly.

"Stupid, this means we're not far from 'it'." Ilya smiled and said, and then continued to walk, looking around as he walked, "'Nine Lands' is the power of the earth in his hands, whether it is all the elements in the stones, most of the places like forests are negative, and there are generally no masculine magnetite mines underground, but the compass has a magnetization reaction, there is only one reason, the 'Nine Lands' is around here, and the magnetic wave on its body makes the compass fail, we are about to find it!" ”

Soulless and Loki both nodded, they both understood, but Sicily still didn't understand, so he simply didn't ask, and directly didn't participate in their topic.

As Sicily's old partner for many years, in fact, he didn't understand why Odin Lufas would put a fun-loving person like Sicily into their group, and the two groups of Lufas and Shenghuang were more suitable for him, but he couldn't say most of the things in his heart, so he just glanced back at Sicily, his eyes were almost helpless, like looking at a child who hated iron but not steel.

They walked for a long time in the dense jungle, and suddenly, the hand of the compass was stuck to the inner dial of the compass, as if it was glued, and it did not move, and the soulless shook vigorously, still undisturbed.

"What's wrong?" Ilya asked, looking back.

I saw Soulless holding the compass, and I could clearly feel that the body was shaking violently, as if something was hidden inside to be drilled out. Then, with a crisp cracking sound, the black hand snapped off against the silver dial under the great magnetization force.

The four of them looked at each other and were about to say something, but before they could speak, they saw Sicily, who had been idle, pointing to the left front of the four people and shouting, "What is that?!" ”

The other three immediately looked in the direction Sicily pointed, and saw a few ancient trees entwined with large dark green tropical vines, and an object covered with carved carvings appeared in everyone's sight, like a stone tablet or a corner of a stone pillar, but the light was too dim for any of them to see clearly.

"Let's go, go over and have a look." Ilya looked in that direction and slowly leaned over with the three of them.

But the way to that was filled with thorns and vines and other plant roots, these vines and rhizomes of some plants were mixed together, and it was too messy to move an inch, and Sicily was just about to use the shock wave to destroy the thorns blocking the way, but was stopped by Loki.

"Don't, the high spirit will make the Nine Lands aware of our existence, even if it can't find it, I don't know if your loud voice will wake up the Nine Lands, just use a knife to cut it." Loki said back to him.

"Yes." Sicily had no choice but to give up.

Before the words fell, I saw that Soulless had already pulled out the Imperial Divine Sword and cut a big gap in the thorns in front of him, Ilya also waved the silver dragon arm armor in his right hand, and the four sharp Peerless Silkworm King Silk swept away the remaining thorny vines that blocked the way, and even a few giant trees in the distance were swept by the Peerless Silkworm King Silk, and there were a few deep scratches on the trunk.

It didn't matter if the two of them didn't do anything, they not only swept away the thorns and vines, but also woke up the insects and beasts that inhabited them, some of them died under the chaotic blades of the Peerless Silkworm King Silk and the Imperial Sword, and some scattered and fled, or climbed trees, or flapped their wings and flew away, or burrowed into the mud.

Most of the roads have been cleared, but they have not been able to get rid of them, because these thorny vines have survived here for at least four hundred years, and their roots are so deeply rooted that even if they are removed, they can only destroy their stems and leaves, and cannot damage their roots.

The four people didn't pay too much attention, and walked over on the stump and stem, when they gradually approached the object that resembled the corner of the stone tablet, a black shadow suddenly flashed behind the four people, Ilya was the fastest to react, the black shadow flashed quickly from behind At the same time, the silver dragon arm armor in Ilya's hand had already swung out a silver peerless silkworm silk, so fast that people like Soulless could see it very blurry with their eyes, and everyone only heard the muffled sound of the peerless silkworm king silk nailed to the trunk, but it did not hit the black shadow, let the black shadow flash by, enter the deep forest on the right, and disappear.

Everyone looked at each other and did not speak for a moment.

Yunling, located in the east of the Gayana domain, to the southeast sea area is only more than 300 miles, the Gayana domain originally belonged to the fief of the Zuo Feng family, a family with a foreign surname of the Terran race, but since the Shadow Miklos controlled the Senate and implemented the dictatorship, Zuo Feng and other families betrayed the Terran and became the home of the traitor, after the outbreak of the alliance holy war, the Zuo Feng family became the "Protector Army" under the command of the Shadow Mikrolos, and was finally defeated by the alliance army led by Aurora in the Spendak area of the Miranda domain, and the head of the Zuo Feng family, Zuo Feng Rui, was defeated and died, Most of the members of his family were also killed in battle, and only a small part escaped from the battle and fled to his base in the Gayana domain, but the Gayana region has been controlled by the Great Sage Master Sereant Dish Dragon, and the defeated Zuo Feng family was pursued and killed by the Great Sage Division's army, and then forced to flee into the mountains and forests and deep valleys of Yunling, and now, more than seven years have passed, and those people have never appeared again.

None of the four of them had participated in the Terran Alliance's Holy War, but Ilya had heard about it when he was in the Black Stone Demon Clan, and after the black shadow flashed just now, he had already thought that it might be the remnants of the Zuo Feng family who were making trouble, and it was very likely that they knew the secret of this place where the Eight Deception Gods were located, and even they might have mastered the embryo of the Eight Deception Gods' "Nine Lands".

A quarter of an hour later, the four men caught two men not far away, dressed in shabby clothes, with long hair and beards, but not dirty, and they did not say a word after being ambushed, and finally spoke under the forced questioning of the soulless many times.

These two people are indeed from the Zuo Feng family, according to one of them, they still have more than twenty people living in a cave not far away, they have been living here since the alliance holy war, living like savages, but they have not lost their reason, and they still vainly hope to see the light of day again and return to civilized society, but they have lived here for too long, they have forgotten the time time, and they have forgotten that they have been in this no-man's land for seven years. The two men also said that there was indeed an ancient ruin in this valley, and Ilya asked them, and the two men said that they had never seen a mysterious beast appear, and after that, Ilya wanted to tie them up and throw them aside, but Loki couldn't bear to let them be eaten by the beast like this, so he let them go.

After that, the four of them followed the direction of the two just now, and it didn't take long for them to find that the low-lying terrain suddenly became flat, as if something was about to appear in front of them, and sure enough, after passing through a huge louvered forest, a place full of carved pillars and stone tablets appeared, like an ancient ruin.

"This is it." Ilya said silently, the scene in front of him was exactly the same as the ruins of the Nine Lands and Eight Deceitful Gods that he had seen in his mind, and the map of the ruins of the Nine Lands that he had accidentally seen in the Demon Mourning.

The four of them walked over, Loki touched the stone pillar, wanted to feel the carvings on it, but found that the cold pillar was not carved from stone at all, but poured with black iron, because of the accumulated rust, the surface of the black iron was covered by a layer of gray-white rust spots, which gave people the illusion that it was a stone texture, in addition to these pillars, the stone platform and the stele are also like this, this broken wall seems to have been built by black iron and silver of the gorgeous palace.

"That's right, this is the remnants of the Nine Lands, legend, in the middle of the Hongmeng Era, the Nine Lands turned into human form and established an empire somewhere in the human world, became the emperor of a group of slaves, and built a palace, but within a few years, they were tracked down by the sensible ancient Li Nan people, and reprimanded the Nine Lands for being derelict in their duties as the Eight Deceitful Gods, so the Nine Lands disbanded the empire, but the location of the Nine Lands every time they were reborn and turned into cocoons was here." Ilya touched an iron tablet and said with a sigh.

On the iron stele, a line of engraved ancient mantras can be seen vaguely: Nine Lands, and the time is also clearly written.

"According to the rebirth cycle of the Eight Deceitful Gods, now the rebirth of the Nine Lands has been completed." Loki said as he counted his fingers.

Ilya opened his mouth and said, "No, I carefully calculated before I came, the last recorded rebirth time of the Nine Lands was in the spring of the Nirgen Empire era, and this year is exactly the second hundred years, according to this time, its rebirth time has indeed passed a few days, but don't forget that this year is the year of Jiazi, four hours slower than in previous years, we came just right!" ”
