Zhao Yi's face turned pale with fright, and he retreated sharply backwards, tripped over the steps and fell to the ground.

"You!you!you!", he pointed to the skeleton in front of him, his mouth trembling.

"What's wrong with the old man?"

The skeleton put down the sword box in his hand, stood up, and walked towards Zhao Yi step by step, "Don't point your finger at me, it's very disrespectful! I'll be angry!"

Listening to the clicking sound of the bones as they walked, his hair tingled for a while, and he exclaimed, "What the hell are you? Don't come!

Zhao Yi fumbled behind him for a while, his eyes looked around in a panic, wanting to take something in hand.

"The old man is now left with only this bone. ”

The skull's jawbone kept swinging up and down, and the old voice sounded, "What's the matter?

Seeing through his thoughts, Zhao Yi's face changed for a while, and he shouted, "What do you want?"

"You junior trespassed into my territory without permission, and you didn't even call 'senior', calling me a 'ghost', shouting so much, and asking me what I wanted?"

The skull's upper and lower jaw teeth kept colliding together in a crisp sound, "I want to ask what you want to do?"

Hearing the other party's somewhat annoyed words, Zhao Yi stood up stiffly, bowed down and said, "Junior Zhao Yi mistakenly entered your place, and I hope that the seniors will not blame the juniors for their previous disrespectful behavior." ”

"Hmm~ That's just like words!", the skeleton nodded slowly, stretched out its fleshless arm, and brushed the long white whiskers it once had.

Only now, with only one white skeleton left, he was very stiff in this movement, and sensing this, he coughed and put his hands behind his back.

Zhao Yi looked at the hollow outline of his eyes, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and asked, "I don't know what the seniors call them?"

"Junior, you can just call me 'Huo Lao', as for the name, don't mention it! You don't need to know. If you have any questions, just say them, and I will answer them for you one by one. ”

"Thank you, Huo Lao!"

Zhao Yi bowed again and glanced around the Golden Palace, "What is this place?Why did I come here?What was the golden liquid I saw before?It seemed to burrow into my left eye and disappeared?What is going on with this giant city?Why are you only a skeleton?Where is your flesh and blood?And ......?"

"Stop!", two clusters of small dark red flames rose from the Huo Lao's hollow eyes, swaying among them, and his jaws and teeth collided, "Where did you have so many cumbersome questions?"

"You asked me to ask...", Zhao Yi whispered.

"What are you muttering?"

"I didn't mutter, you must have misheard. ”

"Old man, let's use some of the things that have happened to guide you, junior!"

He sighed secretly, took Zhao Yi to sit down on the steps on the side, and said carefully: "One day 10,000 years ago, there was an unprecedented battle in this big world, the battle was extremely fierce, and the ending was ~ extremely tragic..."

From the beginning of sitting on pins and needles, to the gradual adaptation in the middle, and then to the final quiet listening, Zhao Yi was sure that the other party had no intention of harming him.

Huo Lao gave him the feeling that he was as amiable as his grandfather, but this special feeling was when he saw the other party's hideous face. Oh no! When it was a hideous bone, it disappeared for the most part, and when I glanced at the Sen Sen ghost fire in my eye socket, it was basically gone.

To his surprise, the content of the battlefield described by the other party was not much different from the earth-shattering battle he had seen in his dreams! He held back the doubts in his heart and continued to listen.

"The fighting lasted two days and two nights until our righteous side achieved a final victory, but it also paid an extremely heavy price. The dark forces have not been completely wiped out, and the remaining enemies are hiding in all corners of the world, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack!"

Huo Lao avoided some sensitive words, and Zhao Yi even noticed that the other party had omitted a lot of important content, which made him hear it in a fog.

"And our Huoyun clan has always served an adult, but we were seriously injured in that tragic battle, and later died in vain!"

"Is that the owner of the chair?"

"Hmm!"

"And then?"

"Later, our clan moved to the ancestral land, guarding the things left behind by the adults, waiting for the arrival of key people!"

Huo Lao sighed and lamented: "I don't know that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and the evil forces hiding in the dark corners accidentally discovered the hiding place of our clan, so they opened the city protection barrier by despicable means. ”

"My clan swore to resist to the death, and subdued the two demons with the strength of the whole clan! But my clan was also destroyed, and now I only have a trace of the imprint of the divine soul bound to my body, waiting for the arrival of the person in the mouth of the adult. ”

Huo Lao looked at Zhao Yi, the flames in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said in a deep voice: "That person is you, the bloodline descendant of the Great Emperor. ”

"How is that possible!"

Zhao Yi subconsciously stood up and broke out: "I'm just a little general in the Mortal Kingdom, and I was almost killed by a traitor not long ago. I have never even set foot on the so-called 'path of cultivation', and I can't be a descendant of the Great Emperor as you speak. ”

"From the moment your feet stepped into this city, you have already penetrated into the path of cultivation, and it is not up to you to decide whether you are a descendant of the Great Emperor's bloodline. ”

Huo Lao raised his hand, and the dense qi rose and fell in front of Zhao Yi, and an ancient mirror appeared, reflecting Zhao Yi's resolute face. said lightly: "It's that it has the final say!"

He walked over to the mirror and stared blankly at himself in the mirror.

There is a golden glow in the left eye, which should be related to the previous golden liquid.

And a golden seal appeared in the center of his eyebrows, and this dragon-like mark shone brightly, flickering on his forehead.

"After 10,000 years of time, you have passed down from generation to generation, and the blood in your body has become so thin that it cannot be revealed, let alone use its power!", Huo Lao said as he approached.

"What is this golden seal called?"

"It's called Zhenlong, but adults have always called it 'Chu Mang', and he once said that this kind of person is born with his own mission!"

"The first mang... Is it the meaning of bringing hope and hope to others?"

Zhao Yi muttered, thought of his country, and tilted his head to the side, "I, Zhao Yi, don't have this ability. ”

"What? You still don't believe me?"

Huo Lao looked at Zhao Yi, who was silent on the side, and he called out to the other party's left eye: "Old friend, I know that you are seriously injured, but you should also come out to meet your master, don't hide in his body all the time." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yi's left eye felt uncomfortable, and suddenly the golden light shone, and the black pupils turned golden, and a golden mist floated out of it.

The mist filled the entire golden hall, and a behemoth emerged from it, and one after another the mist burned, turning into a mass of flames that lingered around it.

"Flame Jinlin! the Emperor's mount. At the same time, he is also his partner, with the emperor lost his body after the first battle, and then he followed us to protect the emperor's relics, and the last battle god soul suffered a heavy blow, becoming the immortal remnant soul in this form. ”

Zhao Yi looked at the fairy spirit in front of him, and did not show fear, on the contrary, he longed to be close to it in his heart, which felt very wonderful, indescribably weird!

Suddenly, its massive body shuddered, and its size rapidly shrank, transforming into the size of half an adult's head, and all the flames surrounding it were extinguished.

"What's wrong with it?", Zhao Yi asked.

"Not long ago, it was wounded again, and now it has not much remaining soul power to maintain such a large body. ”

Zhao Yi looked at the little beast the size of a kitten in front of him, and he suddenly thought of the little beast bathed in flames, the two were exactly the same.

"It turns out that those broken images are its memories!"

I saw that the other party flew onto Zhao Yi's shoulder and rubbed him affectionately, with a happy smile on his little face.

Huo Lao smiled and said: "You have to be kind to it, it has lost all its memories, and now it only has some deep spiritual intelligence, and one day it will regain its original memory, momentum, and everything it has lost!"

"Old friend, go back and rest!"

The little beast seemed to understand what Huo Lao meant, and turned into a golden light and flew back into Zhao Yi's left eye, and the golden pupils returned to their original state.

"Fire old this... This!", Zhao Yi was a little frightened, there was actually a big monster full of flames living in his eyes, how could he not be afraid!

"It's nothing!, this is the talent of the Jin Lin clan, it grafts its own holy pupil into your eyes, the pupil is its own space, it will not hinder you, and it can also help you see things that ordinary eyes can't see, all shadows are hidden under its holy pupil!"

Hearing Huo Lao say this, he suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

"Believe me now! Flame Jinlin's willingness to recognize you as Lord means that you are the key person. ”

"What if I believe it, I'm just a small grain of sand in this vast crowd of beings, how can I bring the first rays to others!"

"You junior, you're so angry with the old man, you!"

The two small clusters of flames in the skeleton's eyes swayed for a while, and he suddenly came behind Zhao Yi, holding Zhao Yi's head with both hands, and let him face the ancient mirror in front of him.

The self in the mirror changed for a while, and the gray fog obscured everything in the mirror, until the thick fog dispersed.

Several voices came one after another, "General, should we pass through this Yin Wind Valley, if we pass through here, we can travel half a day less." ”

"Forget it, sixth brother. I see that this Yin Wind Valley is full of ghosts, so don't take this shortcut. ”

"I've heard that there are often people who disappear here for no apparent reason, and it is rumored that there are man-eating monsters in the valley. Third brother, are you scared?"

"Second brother, you are belittling my brother, where am I afraid, I am worried that there is an ambush of the enemy in the valley!"

"Haha! Look at your cowardice, I'm afraid you believe in this excuse. ”

This is exactly the memory picture of Zhao Yi and others marching through here a year ago.

At that time, he saw the extremely dimly lit Yin Wind Valley, and after thinking about the words of Third Brother Hao, he spared it from here.

But at this moment, the picture is frozen in the Yin Wind Valley, and a black gas is filled with can't see anything clearly, what is Huo Lao asking him to see?

"Don't get distracted, look ahead. Huo Lao's words rang in his ears.

Zhao Yi did what he said, but he still couldn't see anything.

"Focus your mental power on your left eye!"

A faint golden glow covered his pupils little by little, and the black aura in the mirror gradually faded.

"Wait, what do I see?"

"Don't talk, keep looking!"

The black qi disappeared completely, and he saw a black creature covered in hematomas gnawing on something.

At this time, the golden light in his left eye covered the entire pupil, and as soon as Jin Lin's divine power opened, he clearly saw everything in the valley.

Suddenly made him stunned, no matter how strong Zhao Yi's concentration was, he couldn't withstand the scene in front of him.

The black beast, covered in flesh globules and hematomas, rolled up a living person in its hand and ate half of it, and the remaining half was constantly shedding hot human blood, and the beast's mouth was full of blood.

The huge body has eight tentacles, each of which has a human body rolled up, or a head is missing, or an arm is missing, or a leg is missing, and even two legs are eaten away.

The last tentacle also contained a living person, about ten years old, but the eyes were dull, and it was obvious that she had been frightened and did not react.

And she seemed to be the last dish of the ugly black beast.

Behind it, I don't know how many people's bones were piled up, and the white expanse was more than the number of people in Zhao Guo today.

Zhao Yi trembled; How many people has this beast eaten!"

He jerked his head down, and he vomited.

The fire veteran pulled his head back, and said in a cold voice: "Junior, show it to the old man!"

Zhao Yi's eyes were red, tears overflowed around his eyes, from beginning to end, watching how it ate people, where to start biting, and a piece of human flesh had to be chewed several times before it was eaten.

From the person on the first tentacle to the person on the last tentacle, he clearly remembered every detail. It wasn't until everyone had been eaten that the black beast stretched out its thick red tongue covered with flesh and licked the blood left on its tentacles.
