Chapter 455: Strange Old Man
"I can still fight!" Shi Jinlang said strongly.
"You're going to be a wreck, fart!" Xiao Rou took a sip of Shi Jinlang, tightly held the Jiuqu Finger Wrapping Rou in her hand, and said with a firm face: "You protected me again just now, this time I will fight!" ”
Xiao Rou said this, Shi Jinlang was very moved, but moved to be moved, Shi Jinlang knew that Xiao Rou was not the opponent of the sword spirit, and staying was only a futile death.
"I appreciate your kindness, but forget it, you're not its opponent!" Shi Jinlang stood up from the ground and said.
"I know, but" Xiao Rou's eyes were unspeakable, and she stopped talking.
"Don't, if you die, the Sunset Empire will never have a chance to reappear in front of the world, and the burden you carry is heavier than mine!" Shi Jinlang looked directly at Xiao Ju and said, "Her Majesty, the future queen of the Sunset Empire!" ”
Xiao Rou's eyes were full of tears of gratitude, the reason why she tricked Shi Jinlang into coming with her was not just to send them away, she also had her own purpose.
In fact, when Xiao Rou saw Shi Jinlang for the first time, she knew that he was carrying something that belonged to the Sunset Empire, that is, the golden disc in Shi Jinlang's space wheel.
The golden disc was obtained by Shi Jinlang from Brother Tian's hand, and he always carried it with him, Xiao Rou's spiritual sense can resonate with the golden disc, but if he asked Shi Jinlang directly to ask for this golden disc, Xiao Rou was worried that Shi Jinlang would not give it, so she directed this play with Rong Mama.
Even speaking, Rong Mama's death was something they planned, because they had teleportation beads on their bodies, as long as they wanted to avoid the pursuit of the Netherworld Ghost Emperor, they could leave at any time, Rong Mama sacrificed his life in exchange for Shi Jinlang's trust, the purpose was to let Shi Jinlang help Xiaorou go to the underground imperial tomb, awaken the spirit of the sleeping Emperor of the Sunset Empire, and then let the Sunset Empire sealed in the ground see the light of day again.
Xiao Rou's purpose was to use the power of the golden disc on Shi Jinlang's body to bring out the Sunset Empire, which had been sealed for thousands of years, from under the yellow sand. She has an unshirkable responsibility to shoulder the revitalization of the Sunset Empire, and she is destined to become the empress of the Sunset Empire.
What Xiao Rou didn't expect was that Shi Jinlang had already known his purpose, but he still followed him. And at this juncture of life and death crisis, he still wants to let himself go first.
"If we succeed in escaping this fate, the Sunset Empire will always remember the favor you bestowed on their queen!" Xiao Rou said, turned around and walked into the crystal tomb, and then looked at the scene in the weapon mound through the crystal door.
Shi Jinlang didn't need the Sunset Empire to remember his name forever, because Shi Jinlang knew that he would not die.
A dazzling red light flickered, and the entire weapon mound was shrouded in a dazzling red light. Xiao Rou lost Shi Jinlang's vision, her eyes were full of tears, she had never been so worried about a person's safety as she is now, for two thousand years, there has never been, Shi Jinlang is the first, maybe the only one. Shi Jinlang may be very ordinary, ordinary to the point of being unremarkable, but there is a unique quality in his body that deeply attracts Xiao Rou's attention, Xiao Rou doesn't know what it is, and seems to know what it is!
Within the red light, the re-condensed sword spirit jumped in front of Shi Jinlang, its sword leaned forward, its short and fat legs knelt on the ground, and its slender and dexterous hands were supported on the ground, looking like it was kneeling to Shi Jinlang.
At the same time, a voice appeared in Shi Jinlang's mind: "My master, please accept the most pious bow of the sword spirit!" ”
Everything was exactly the same as Shi Jinlang expected, in fact, when the fragmented body of the sword spirit was condensed again, Shi Jinlang realized that this sword spirit was no longer the original sword spirit, because the color on its body had changed. The original color was pale red, but the fragments that re-condensed to form the body of the sword spirit were rich crimson, and it was no longer the sword spirit of the previous blood-drinking sword, but the sword spirit of the ultimate blood-drinking sword.
"Flutter"
The red light on the Ultimate Blood Drinking Sword was blazing, and the kneeling sword spirit was swallowed by the power on the Ultimate Blood Drinking Sword, and the sword spirit disappeared and disappeared into the sword body of the Ultimate Blood Drinking Sword, except for the faint flowing blood red on the sword body, the Ultimate Blood Drinking Sword hardly changed.
However, Shi Jinlang could clearly feel the existence of the sword spirit, and its voice still echoed in the depths of Shi Jinlang's mind: "The sword spirit is willing to serve the master!" ”
"Bang Dang"
The crystal door of the crystal tomb was vigorously pushed open, and Xiao Rou, whose face was full of happy tears, threw herself into Shi Jinlang's arms like a gust of wind.
"You're still alive!" Tears rolled down from the corners of Xiaorou's eyes like broken beads.
"That's nature, how could I die?" Shi Jinlang smiled and helped Xiaorou in his arms wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"I can promise you a request, no matter what you want to do, I can meet you!" Xiao Rou looked up at Shi Jinlangdao.
"Request?"
"Yes, whatever you want!"
Shi Jinlang glanced at Xiao Rou's body with a lewd expression, and after a moment he shook his head and said, "Can I keep this right to make a request for the time being?" ”
"Of course!" Xiao Rou said with both expectation and a slight loss in her eyes: "This is your power, you can bring it up whenever you want!" ”
"Alright, let's talk before we leave after we help you complete your mission!"
Shi Jinlang let go of Xiao Rou, turned around and walked towards the corner next to him, there was a door here, leading to the door of the next tomb.
"Rolling"
It was a steel door, and as the axle rolled, the thick steel door was slowly pushed open.
As the steel door opened, a fresh scent of plants and trees came from behind the door.
"Wow"
Shi Jinlang was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him, he was intoxicated, and couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that under the desert, there is such a beautiful place?" ”
Xiao Rou was also stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of her, she didn't expect that there would be such a place full of paradise flavor under the ground, in a corner where there is no sunlight all year round.
It's a beautiful garden, with all kinds of flowers blooming and the air is filled with the sweet scent of flowers.
"Rolling"
If it weren't for the steel door that closed behind them, Shi Jinlang and Xiao Rou would have almost forgotten that this was a cemetery.
Xiao Rou held Shi Jinlang's hand tightly, because she found Sen Ran's white bones under the purple and red flowers.
Shi Jinlang also noticed it, and he whispered to Xiao Ju: "Be careful, this tomb is far more terrifying than what we see!" ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Rou nodded, and pulled Shi Jinlang's hand harder.
Shi Jinlang looked over, and directly opposite was a door to the next tomb, different from the concealment design of the other two tombs, the door of this tomb was very obvious, and it seemed that it was deliberately intended for the infiltrator to see.
Shi Jinlang slowly bent down, and he saw the white bones that were hidden in the branches and wild grass, and those bewitching and beautiful flowers were able to bloom so gorgeously by relying on the nutrients in the white bones.
It wasn't until he saw this pile of white bones that Shi Jinlang figured out a question that had been bothering him for a long time. That is, the golden door of the underground imperial tomb has obviously been opened, why did Shi Jinlang not find any of the corpses left by the infiltrators in the crystal tomb and weapon mound?
It's not that the strength of the crystal scorpion and sword spirit guarding the crystal tomb and weapon mound is too poor, but because all the white bones that died in those two tombs were brought here by this strange sea of flowers.
Shi Jinlang was still looking down at the pile of white bones under the sea of flowers, and Xiao Rou's little hand suddenly grabbed himself hard.
"What's wrong?" Shi Jinlang looked up at Xiao Rou and asked.
Xiao Rou looked ahead, her eyes full of horror.
Shi Jinlang followed her gaze and looked ahead, and the gorgeous sea of flowers suddenly set off a wave, and these flowers of different shapes seemed to have grown their own legs, and they all swarmed in one direction.
In just a few seconds, the entire sea of flowers was clustered together, revealing piles of white bones on the ground.
The sea of flowers that sprung up trembled and then quickly separated, and the originally bare tomb floor was now left with only a narrow path for one person to walk with.
On one end of the path are Shi Jinlang and Xiao Rou, and on the other end is the back of a woman wrapped in fiery red petals.
He had fiery red hair and long thorns wrapped around his arms.
"Thorn Treant?"
Shi Jinlang saw the mud on the ground tumbling and rolling, she turned around, and the face of a terrifying-looking woman appeared in front of the two.
This is a kind of wild man-eating thorn cultivated into a monster, Shi Jinlang has seen it in the memory of the Immortal Emperor before, after killing a person, this kind of cannibalistic thorn will wrap the corpse with thorn strips like a snake, and then suck the blood nutrients, and slowly assimilate the flesh and bones similar to humans.
The thorn tree spirit in front of Shi Jinlang, its face had completely rotted, the blood on it had turned into a black and moldy carbon fungus, and her body had also completely rotted and deformed, revealing the human bones inside.
Judging by the way it looks, it should have been a long time since it had sucked human blood.
"Get out of here!"
Shi Jinlang put the Ultimate Blood Drinking Sword across his chest, and retreated back while protecting Xiao Rou.
"Friends from afar, I didn't mean to scare you, it's just that I've been asleep for too long, and this human corpse will become like this without nutrients, you wait for me for a while!"
The thorn tree spirit walked on top of a pile of white bones, and the thorns on her body hugged the pile of white bones to her body like flexible hands, and with a tremor of her body, the white bones on the thorns turned into bone meal without nutrients, and spilled all over the ground.
The flesh and blood on the body of the thorn tree spirit flew, and after a while, the body that had been decaying and deformed turned into flesh again, and the black and moldy carbon fungus on her face disappeared as soon as possible. If you put aside those terrifying thorn strips, the current thorn tree spirit is a bright and beautiful woman.
Shi Jinlang witnessed the whole process of her transformation, and now looking at her face, an indescribable feeling of nausea arose.
"I remember, you are an ancient plant that my father rescued from the Plaguelands!" Xiao Rou suddenly screamed loudly.
"Father?" The thorn tree spirit looked at Xiao Rou, and said with a look of surprise on her face, "Who are you Wyad?" ”
"He's my father!" Xiao Rou said loudly.
"Alright, you can pass through here!" The Thorn Tree Spirit looked at Little Judo, "Wyad is my savior, he transplanted me here and gave me a chance to survive again. Although he is dead, I am a grateful person, and since you are his daughter, I will not embarrass you! ”
"If you don't embarrass me, what about him?" Xiao Rou pointed at Shi Jinlang and asked.
The thorn tree spirit stuck out his tongue and licked his lips and said, "It's been a long time since I've tasted fresh blood."
Hearing the thorn tree spirit say this, Xiao Rou directly blocked in front of Shi Jinlang and said, "Don't you want to hurt him!" ”
"Forget it, let's go!" The thorn tree spirit waved the thorn on his arm and said, "This kid is too thin, and he probably doesn't have much oil and water, so I won't eat him!" ”
"Really?" Xiao Rou said excitedly.
"Before I change my mind, you'd better get out of my territory quickly, or I'll leave you two here!" A wicked smile flashed across the thorn dryad's face, and she used the thorn to open the door on the wall.
Although the thorn tree spirit said this, Shi Jinlang and Xiao Rou still didn't trust him, Shi Jinlang pulled out the ultimate blood-drinking sword, Xiao Rou clenched the nine curves around the fingers, and the two of them held hands and walked towards the door step by step.
"In you, I feel the breath of doom!"
When passing by the Thorn Tree Spirit, the Thorn Tree Spirit suddenly whispered to Shi Jinlang.
Shi Jinlang glanced at her, and there was still an evil smile on her weird face.
Shi Jinlang and Xiao Rou jumped into the door, which was a wooden door, and when the two stepped over, the wooden door slowly closed.
Shi Jinlang and Xiao Rou appeared in the fourth tomb, and as the wooden door behind them closed, the tomb lit up with a cold blue light, this is not a tomb, but an underground river.
In front of Shi Jinlang and Xiao Rou was a turbulent river with rolling waves, which flowed under the walls of the tomb, and seemed to be an underground river in this imperial tomb.
Shi Jinlang had a lot of distracting thoughts flashing in his mind, he wanted to catch them, but these distracting thoughts were too messy, what was the connection between the crystal door, the steel door and the wooden door just now?
"There's a door there!"
Xiao Rou pointed to the bottom of the riverbed and said loudly to Shi Jinlang.
Shi Jinlang looked down, and sure enough, in the mud on the side of the riverbed, a hollow door stood there.
"Let's go down!" Xiao Rou said excitedly.
"Wait!" Shi Jinlang grabbed Xiao Rou's arm and said, "It won't be so simple!" ”
Thinking of the scenes in the previous three tombs, Shi Jinlang didn't believe that this tomb would be so simple.
He pulled out the Ultimate Blood Drinking Sword and probed into the river.
"Blablablah"
The blood in Shi Jinlang's body surged onto the sword body again, and the wall of blood light shrouded it for the first time.
