Chapter Seventy-Two: The Temple
At this time, although Zongtian was in a deeply buried temple, the light still sprinkled overhead. Looking up, about forty or fifty meters high, a not-so-small hole was providing a light source for the place. Although there was only a faint light, it was still enough for him to see everything around him.
Although it is somewhat damaged, the building in front of you is still intact. The huge stone pillars and tall dome have a solemn style, but compared to the real world, it seems to be somewhat nondescript. However, there was one thing in the building that made Zongtian confirm that this was a temple, because a huge statue was located in it.
"You're awake." Just when Zongtian wanted to step forward to take a serious look, the words came suddenly at this time, and the voice was so close that it was almost close to Zongtian's side.
"Who!" In fright, Zong Tian couldn't care about the scars on his body, but the hand he touched his short knife was empty. Cold sweat couldn't help but slip down from the corners of Zong Tian's forehead, and in the face of the darkness, Zong Tian didn't dare to move.
"You're looking for this." The scabbard with the short knife was handed out from the darkness, although it was a little dirty, but it was obviously a blessing to be able to find his weapon at this time, and the somewhat weak words seemed to be somewhat familiar after listening carefully.
"Black Tiger... Teacher? "Zongtian carefully took his weapon,
"Well...... and Black Tiger's answer was also a short word.
With the weapon in hand, Zong Tian also had the courage to get closer to the darkness, although he was ready to face all the possibilities, but the black tiger that greeted him made Zong Tian's expression ugly. Although the knife wound on his chest was not too deep, the black tiger at this time not only lost his right hand, but the burns everywhere also told how close he was to the explosion.
"Teacher......" Although he wanted to ask or comfort him, Zongtian's words did not continue. What if he asked? Can he take care of those wounds? Can he take the Black Tiger out of the soul plane? It was only then that he understood the powerlessness of language.
"Don't worry too much, I can't die yet." The black tiger moved with difficulty, and a somewhat awkward posture made him a little more comfortable.
"Forget the light of the charm, the fire at least helped me stop the bleeding." Under such circumstances, the black tiger could still laugh.
"So what do we do now?" Zongtian finally asked the most realistic question.
"Let me rest for a while." The black tiger is naturally the one who knows the most about his physical state, "Tilting has already gone to find a way, but so far nothing has been found." ”
"Are you alright? What about the others? "Can you still explore the way? That's great news, but what about those who haven't been found yet? Was it blown somewhere else by the explosion or ...... And thinking of the charm of the center of the explosion, the pessimistic mood of the sky was aggravated.
"She's luckier than you, and she barely hurts, but I don't know about the others." The black tiger moved with difficulty again,
"Sit down, you don't look like you're in good shape." The Black Tiger patted the vacated spot to his left.
With some effort, Zongtian slowly sat down beside the black tiger, and when he was about to say something, the gaze he looked at the black tiger made him froze for a moment.
"If you look at it from this side, it doesn't seem like your injuries are too important." Zongtian seemed to understand the reason why the black tiger let him sit here.
Although there was some ridicule in his words, the black tiger only smiled tolerantly. Seeing such a smile, I couldn't help but regret a little, maybe someone could calmly face such a hideous wound, but he definitely couldn't relax, but the black tiger thought about himself in exchange for such an answer.
"I'm sorry."
"Huh?" The black tiger didn't react for a while, but then his big hand was on Zongtian's head.
"Let's talk, I'm idle anyway." After a short silence, the black tiger opened his mouth again, "I still have the strength to speak. ”
"Teacher, why are you ......" Hearing Heihu's words, Zongtian immediately remembered his biggest doubt, but as soon as he came up, he was questioned, and for this teacher who was desperately trying to save himself, it was a little ......
"You're trying to say why you attacked that person." The Black Tiger sighed, and Zongtian just acquiesced.
"That's not a human, it's a soul beast."
For such words, Zong Tian was startled at first, but then he remembered the soul beast he had seen. The soul beast that is reversing seems to be a six-winged angel, although it is not the same, but it is almost the appearance of a human being, and the soul beast of Bai Yu is completely like an ordinary to ordinary human.
"How do you know for sure?" But now that I think about it carefully, if I don't know their details, it will be difficult to distinguish their identities whether it is the soul beast of the White Emperor or the black-clothed figure in the sky just now.
"Then tell me, did he look like a human being just now?"
Facing the black tiger's rhetorical question, although Zongtian knew the answer, he didn't want to answer. Although it looks like a human being, but that kind of strength is beyond the reach of people, even if it is a powerful soul martial art, in fact, that strength is also because of the soul beast.
"There's nothing to doubt about it, it's a soul beast." It seems that Zongtian's doubts are completely absent here in Black Tiger, but in the face of the puzzled students, he can only continue to explain.
"You must remember the appearance of the White Mountain base, the people who came to the soul plane have all been recorded."
It seems to be a good reason to refute it, but the black tiger didn't give Zongtian a chance to speak.
"Yes, there may be many exceptions, there will always be missing people who have not returned, and people with special abilities like Hua Fei, such a base really can't stop them." It's like slapping himself in the face, but Black Tiger's words are not over yet, "There are very few people like that, and I have never heard of people who can live in the soul plane for a long time." Our journey should not be too dangerous, but you have seen the incident just now, even if it is safe enough to bring you new students here, there is still a possibility of danger, let alone the danger zone further afield. ”
"Let me ask you a question, how big is the soul plane?" Seeing Zongtian's doubts, the black tiger instead threw out a question.
"How old? I do not know. After thinking about it for a moment, Zongtian realized that he didn't know the right answer, and more than that, he hadn't even heard anything about it at all.
"I don't know, I don't know." The corners of the black tiger's mouth seemed to be too high, and the pulling wound made him frown, "Don't make trouble, it's not just that I don't know, everyone doesn't know." ”
"What?" originally thought it was just a general knowledge point of common sense, but this answer really surprised Zongtian.
"The soul plane is far more dangerous than ordinary people think, and it is almost impossible for humans to communicate with soul beasts, and the humanoid soul beasts that may be conscious like just now are still unknown."
"Why didn't anyone try? Also, I still don't understand why you're so sure it must be a soul beast. ”
"Because he didn't speak."
"That's it?" For the answer that the black tiger suddenly gave directly, Zong Tian was a little stunned.
"That's it, and that's enough." Although Zongtian was surprised by such a sloppiness, the black tiger's eyes only had a determined look.
"That won't ......"
"Nothing won't! You've seen the results of the rebellion, and if I hadn't made the first move, we'd have died. ”
For such a battle for survival, Zongtian finally had some realization, in this forest full of primitive laws, hesitation may be the reason for death.
"Newcomers generally don't have too much awe for the soul plane, but you don't have to be too afraid of it at this time, our situation today can only be said to be too unlucky, and why don't I try to conquer such a soul beast that you just asked. You also saw the strength of that soul beast just now, do you think it is possible for humans to defeat such an opponent on their own? ”
"What about Principal Bai?"
"I don't know much about Bai Yu's situation, but you've also seen his shield pawn, and Mu Ne's movements don't look like what you've seen today, right?"
