Chapter 186: Entering the Tomb
The passage of this black hole looks dark, in fact, it is only the part that has just gone down, Qi Zhen silently calculated, and walked about twenty steps in the dark, and the passage was illuminated by the night pearls on the walls on both sides.
The people walking behind were naturally extremely cautious, for fear that there would be some deadly traps and traps on this road.
is the only Xiao Ao in front, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a dragon and a tiger, and he doesn't seem to be worried.
However, with Xiao Ao opening the road in front, everyone was forced to move forward much faster on this road, otherwise they really don't know how long it would take.
Because the passage is just too long.
Probably because Xiao Ao's eyesight is so good, although his speed is fast, he is not rushing forward with a brisk pace, but maintains a very appropriate rhythm.
This makes his figure look very calm.
"Let's slow down a little, Xiao Ao, I have something I want to ask you." Qi Zhen's voice suddenly remembered in the passage, breaking the silence of the room.
Xiao Ao slowed down, didn't look back, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"What the hell is that skeleton just now?" Qi Zhen asked.
Just like Yu Liang was puzzled, the appearance of this thing was actually extremely unreasonable according to the team's consistent perception of ghosts.
After Qi Zhen's words were asked, there was a brief silence in the air for a few seconds before Xiao Ao's voice rang out.
"Gods, demons, fairies, beasts, and ghosts, except for gods and demons, the other categories are all made of humans and beasts, but only the ghost is the most peculiar." Xiao Ao said.
"There are extremely harsh conditions for becoming a ghost and still wandering in the world to enter reincarnation, such as being very resentful about things in life, or dying before the end of his life, resulting in the inability to enter reincarnation."
"The normal appearance of becoming a ghost is basically the state of a soul body existing in the world, and Zhang Zongchang is a powerful ghost immortal." Xiao Ao said.
Everyone nodded.
"But it is not a very simple thing to become a powerful ghost after all, and the vast majority of ordinary people and beasts are dead in their lives." Xiao Ao continued.
That's right, if you become a ghost at every turn, then the world will inevitably be in chaos.
"There are some powerful ghost creatures in order to avenge their previous grudges, or just to strengthen their own bodies and occupy the mountain as kings, they will practice some extremely powerful ghost spells, in addition to making themselves strong ghosts, they can also drive the bones of the dead, and this practice is undoubtedly against the way of heaven, that is, the origin of those skeletons outside the valley. These corpses have low intelligence and are not very strong, but their combat power is still much stronger than that of ordinary Terran soldiers. ”
After listening to Xiao Ao's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that the sea of skeletons outside actually came like this.
"People have spirits, ghosts naturally have them, and the soul of ghosts is called the primordial god, if the ghost thing has no primordial spirit, it will be like a human being who has lost his soul, muddy, and has no intelligence, and can only rely on instinct to wander in the world, and these bones driven by the magic of ghosts and spirits are in the same state."
"As for the thing you just faced, it's not one of the two."
Finally getting to the point, everyone in the team pricked up their ears.
"If ordinary corpses are corpses driven by simple ghost spells, then it would cost a lot to refine them into such a state."
"Sacrifice?" Qi Zhen wondered.
Xiao Ao nodded, and then said: "Continuously roast the living on the fire, and use the ghost spirit technique to maintain the vitality of the other party, continue to refine the grievances in the process of roasting, and finally seal their souls into their bones and continue to refine until the dry bones turn to ashes, and it becomes what you see." ”
Qi Zhen thought about that scene and felt a little shuddered.
In fact, not only Qi Zhen, but other people also felt a chill down their necks when they thought of that terrifying scene.
"This will make the person who is sacrificed have a very violent resentment, and coupled with the blessing effect of the ghost spirit's technique, it will often become a powerful evil spirit that only knows how to kill."
Xiao Ao took out the skeleton general's two eyes with his backhand, which still emitted a faint red light.
"This is the essence of his resentment and soul, but unfortunately it is not of great use to you."
"But when we saw him, he was still wearing a tightly wrapped armor, how can this be explained?" Qi Zhen then asked.
Since Xiao Ao was already in the second stage of the team fighting the boss when he appeared, he didn't see the behemoth that was more than three meters tall, and when he heard Qi Zhen say this, his heart was slightly cold.
"The sacrificial refining of the armor worn by the ghost is much more difficult than the sacrificial refining of the ghost, even I don't know much about this matter, but there is no doubt that this person who sacrifices must have a very strong strength."
Qi Zhen told Xiao Ao everything that had happened since the team entered Shucheng until Dabie Mountain, and naturally did not let go of Wu Tian's judgment on the origin of Zhang Zongchang's incident.
Xiao Ao suddenly stopped and said lightly: "If things are really as you said, I suggest that we leave here, we can't beat the things inside." ”
Xiao Ao actually retreated, which was undoubtedly completely unexpected by everyone.
From Xiao Ao's appearance to the present, Qi Zhen has generally made some judgments about his character.
One is that he is full of curiosity about the unknown, and the other is that he is unruly to the point of almost nothingness.
It was because of these two points that he would accompany the team into this tomb.
So he retreated at this time, and the shock of Qi Zhen was far greater than that of his other teammates.
But it proves that the strength of the other party can be judged just by what he has seen and heard along the way, and the other party is indeed so strong that it is difficult for everyone in the team to defeat.
"You forgot, we have the Celestial Master Talisman." Qi Zhen took out the purple talisman seal on his body and shook it in front of Xiao Ao's eyes.
"Oh, let's go."
Xiao Ao saw the Heavenly Master Talisman in Qi Zhen's hand, nodded, didn't talk nonsense, turned around and continued to walk forward.
I don't know if it's the blind worship of Wu Tian or some other reason.
The passage to the tomb was extremely long, but to everyone's surprise, there were no dangerous traps, and there were no unusual ghosts or enemies until the underground palace.
Yes, the team came to a palace built underground.
The familiar bronze crane appeared in front of everyone again, and a misty light emanated from the top of their heads.
At the same time, there was a huge door nearly five meters high, and there were two bronze beasts guarding the door standing on both sides outside the door.
It's a bit like a unicorn, and it's a bit like a lion, but it doesn't seem to be.
And the most eye-catching thing was that the eyes of the two bronze beasts were shining with a faint blue light, like burning ghost fires.
As soon as he saw these two bronze beasts, Xiao Ao's brows instantly tightened.
Seeing Xiao Ao's expression, everyone was also shocked, and they had to cheer up their spirits.
"What's wrong?" Yu Liang asked.
Xiao Ao stepped forward and gently tapped the belly of the bronze beast statue, making a thumping echo.
"Sure enough." Xiao Ao muttered softly, turned his head and said to the team, "This should be an everlasting lamp lit by human oil." ”
"Human Oil...... It won't be ......" Meng Ran's face was extremely ugly.
"It is to refine the oil in the human body, and then put it into the sole of this copper beast, leaving only the wick in the eyes, and the legend says that the human oil can be burned for 10,000 years." Xiao Ao said.
"Damn! This is also too brutal, how much oil does such a large bronze statue have to be inside? Yu Liang cursed.
In other words, how many people do you need to kill to fill the entire Bronze Beast?
"According to the style of this door and the specifications of this bronze beast, the owner of this tomb should have been at least a human prince during his lifetime." Xiao Ao continued.
This coincides with Qi Zhen's speculation.
"Welcome to all guests, the slave family is polite."
A beautiful woman's voice resounded in the vast space in front of the door, making everyone's hearts tighten.
"Please come out and see you." Xiao Ao said lightly.
"The slave family can't go out to greet each other, please come in." With a faint chuckle, the huge door slowly rose upward, matching the woman's voice, as if to welcome everyone.
"I'm sorry." Xiao Ao said a word and walked into the door first.
The remaining few people glanced at each other, didn't say anything more, and followed Xiao Ao into the door of this tomb.
This tomb is not so much a tomb as it is a palace complex built underground.
The top of the tomb is extremely high, making the whole space extremely wide, and most of the buildings in it are square palaces, giving people the feeling of a miniature version of the Forbidden City.
Although it is not as breathtaking as the palace under Chaohu Lake, thinking that this is just a place to bury the dead, everyone's hearts are still a little shocked.
The Forbidden City is a super large courtyard house.
It's the same here.
After entering the main gate, the team came to the first courtyard of this tomb, in front of which was the first main hall, and there were some houses on the left and right sides, but they didn't know what they were used for.
"I don't know if the guests are here, why are they here?" The woman's voice echoed in the courtyard again, and no emotion could be heard.
"We are here to ask to see the prince and inquire about something." Qi Zhen's heart moved, and she spoke before Xiao Ao.
With Xiao Ao's temper, if he directly said that we are here to kill the ghost king, I am afraid that the road behind the team will be much more difficult.
It's originally in someone's home, even if it's a bad guest, it's always right to be polite and polite when you enter the door, and it's better to have more than one thing.
"Oh? I don't know what the guest is looking for my husband? The woman chuckled again, her voice indescribably flattering.
"It turned out to be the princess, and I was offended." Qi Zhen clenched his fists and said.
As soon as these words came out, the woman suddenly laughed loudly, looking very happy.
