Chapter Twenty-Four: The Talking Skull

Zhao Yi took the crystal elixir as he said and swallowed it in one gulp. The elixir instantly turned into a stream of warmth, flowing through his limbs and bones, shuttling between his twelve meridians. The whole body is warm and very comfortable.

The dumb servant suddenly made a hand and gently patted his chest, and the hot spiritual power came from the palm of the other party's palm, making him feel uncomfortable.

For a moment, Zhao Yi was sweating profusely, and his cheeks were even redder. I just felt like I was in a desert place, and the spicy sun hanging high roasted me uncomfortably, as if I was on fire.

The legs, which had been whitened by black water and were slightly swollen, gradually became slender and straight, and the well-proportioned and slender calf column also returned to its original round and full.

The blood marks left by the whip healed quickly, and the epidermis automatically scabbed over and peeled off, revealing new skin. All wounds heal at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

After a long time, the hot feeling faded like a tide, Zhao Yi touched his body for a while, and was surprised to find that not a single wound was gone!

This reminded him of the time when he fell off the cliff, when he was also scarred, but when he woke up, he found that countless wounds on his body, large and small, were inexplicably gone!

"It turned out that she saved me and healed all my injuries, so that woman is real, it is not a dream!"

"Good thing I remember what she looks like!"

He whispered a few times, and suddenly felt a little dizzy, and his body shook for a while.

Seeing this, the dumb servant hurriedly helped him with a hand, and a feminine voice sounded in Zhao Yi's heart, "This elixir can only treat your physical injuries, but it can't replenish the energy you have wasted." Now that you are extremely lacking in spirit, you should take a good rest. ”

"No!", Zhao Yi stabilized his figure, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's go quickly!"

Sensing the perseverance and stubbornness in the other party's eyes, the dumb servant nodded, "I understand, let's get up!"

After speaking, he waved his sleeves, and a flying sword with a fiery red body swam out of it, hovering at the feet of the two of them.

grabbed Zhao Yi's body and jumped onto the fiery red flying sword, and the flying sword carried them to the front of Gao Yan Hall in an instant, stopping in front of the palace gate.

The dumb servant reached out and made a false grasping motion, and the flying sword quickly lifted up and flew back into his hand.

Lifting the sword and pointing forward, the sword body suddenly glowed with a strange red light, and a fire Jiao phantom flew out of it, slamming into the temple door alone.

Boom~

After Wan Qing's enchantment was destroyed and the prohibition was broken, the two came to the entrance of the swarthy cave that was opened by the Absolute Light.

"Here?", Zhao Yi pointed to the ghostly hole.

"Well, that's the entrance!"

"But... How is this going to go down!"

"Jump down!", the dumb servant pushed the unprepared Zhao Yi down with one hand, and jumped down himself.

Zhao Yi, whose body was falling wildly, couldn't resist the fear in his heart for a while, and shouted loudly in this bottomless pit, even with a trace of trembling in his shouting.

At this moment, the dumb servant came to him, stretched out his hand and took one of his arms, and the two of them continued to fall steadily, faster and faster.

After calming down, Zhao Yi lowered his head in shame and secretly reproached himself in his heart, "What are you afraid of? What kind of wind and waves have you never seen? Now that you have to be afraid of this, how will you embark on the 'path of cultivation' that they call in the future? Zhao Yi! Take out your courage as the generalissimo of Zhao Guo, these illusory feelings of fear will only weaken your sharpness!"

Then he removed the hand that the dumb servant had held him on, and said in a deep voice, "I can overcome these fears!"

The dumb servant smiled and nodded, his eyes full of appreciation.

Time passed, and after a quarter of an hour or so, a dark red fire shone into their falling black hole.

"We're here!"

The sword in the dumb servant's hand flew at the feet of the two men again, supporting them to descend slowly until they were out of the hole.

When Zhao Yi was shocked by the vast underground world when he first came out of the cave, he suddenly felt a chill hit him.

"Be careful!"

A ball of fire flew from behind, hitting his body, and the dumb servant quickly pulled Zhao Yi behind him.

Raising his hand, one by one shot over. When the two met, the ball of fire exploded, revealing the creature behind it.

I saw a dark red salamander clinging to the rock wall, and the slender tongue with a deep fork at the tip was swallowing in its mouth!

Zhao Yi had seen a ground spiny lizard with similar physical characteristics, but it was not as huge as it. The salamander in front of him was more than twice the size of the ground thorn lizard he knew!

Coo-goo~Goo-goo~

A rapid hissing sound came from his mouth, and the next moment, the same cry sounded from the depths of the earth, and the figures of a large group of salamanders could be faintly seen rushing towards this place!

Zhao Yi exclaimed, "It's calling for its companions!"

"Hmph! Uncivilized evil animal, it's looking for death!"

The dumb servant put his fingers together and threw out a red sword aura, shooting through the head of the salamander in front of him in the blink of an eye.

The corpse fell limply from the rock wall and fell into the lava, emitting a flash of fire.

"Let's go into the giant city under our feet first, ignore them!"

The giant city floating on the magma was within reach, and the ban on its surface had already been forcibly broken by Zhao Qian and others. As a result, the two of them can easily land on the edge of the roulette wheel-shaped giant city.

Afterwards, the two of them flew all the way above the barren forest, looking for the traces of Zhao Qian and the others.

Zhao Yi looked around, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to a ruined forest, and shouted, "Dumb father-in-law, look over there!"

Hearing this, the dumb servant controlled the sword under his feet and flew towards the place where Zhao Yi was pointing.

As far as the eye can see, it is full of devastation.

Hundreds of ancient trees as thick as buckets were cut off by some kind of huge force, and the stubble at the fracture was uneven, leaving only a small stake deep into the ground.

Many ancient trees were burst and turned into debris.

There was a half-foot deep trench on the ground not far away, and I don't know what left traces.

"These marks are very new, and they look like they were caused not long ago. ”

Zhao Yi touched these traces and analyzed: "Estimating the time, it should have happened during the period when I was pressed onto the high platform and was about to be executed!"

"They've already done it! We have to hurry to Brother Zhao Qian!"

The dumb servant nodded, and they followed the traces of the fight. When they passed a mountain range, they stopped, and next to a piece of bluestone, they found Zhao Qian's xylophone.

The horns were cracked, the strings were gone, and the whole thing was broken. Zhao Yi picked it up, and a crack appeared in the middle of the piano body.

Click~

The xylophone was split in two by the sudden crack, and the other radius fell straight to the ground.

A pool of blood was also found around the body of the piano, which should have been left by Zhao Qian's heavy injuries during the fight.

The entire mountain range was shattered by the sword qi, leaving one brand new ravine after another on the surface of the mountain, extending hundreds of meters away. It can be seen that the scene of the fight between the two sides at that time was extremely fierce!

The dumb servant said, "Hurry up! I'm afraid that my master is already in trouble!"

The two of them jumped on the flying swords again, accelerated abruptly, and shot towards the center of the city.

On the way, they found a corpse, but it was not Zhao Qian's. Zhao Yi remembered that face was one of the four guards who protected the country!

As we approached the ruins of the city, all traces of the fight were gone, and not even a trace of them remained.

"Where did they go?"

Just when the two of them were puzzled by this, there was a violent fluctuation in the sky, and suddenly the earth shook, and the sound of phoenix chirping faintly came from above!

Zhao Yi raised his head and shouted, "On it!"

"My master is in danger! I have to help him get out!"

The dumb servant threw Zhao Yi in the ruins, and the divine thought said: "It's extremely dangerous above, you can't go up with me anymore!"

"Let me go with me, I won't make trouble for you!"

"No, if something happens to you, I can't explain it to my master! you just stay here, don't run around, otherwise you will encounter danger, and I won't be able to help you!"

Without waiting for Zhao Yi to reply, the dumb servant had already flown out hundreds of meters away with his sword, and continued to fly towards the floating platform at the height. And Zhao Yi can only stop and watch, and there is nothing else he can do.

The roulette wheel-shaped platform hung two thousand meters above him.

He was sure that the previous fluctuations were coming from there, and how could he go up!

At least a hundred chains hung down from the edge of the original platform, but I don't know what force destroyed them, and they were disconnected from the middle.

Now there are only a few three iron chains hanging down, and the tail end of the longest iron chain is also at a height that Zhao Yi can't reach.

"No matter what, I'm going to go up, even if it's with my hands, little by little!"

He found a ruin closest to the chain and climbed up.

Settle down, take a few steps to run, leap up, sway a few steps in the air, and when approaching, he hugged the thick iron chain.

Immediately along this chain, little by little upward, 100 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters, 500 meters...

High in the air, he kept panting and slowly climbing upwards with difficulty, and his speed became slower and slower.

Halfway up the hill, there was a sudden wave from above, and the wind shook and shook the chains.

Zhao Yi climbed so far, there was not much strength left, and after such a moment, his arms were weak for a while, and his hands let go of the iron rope uncontrollably!

His body fell down quickly, you must know that the dumb servant is not by his side, if he falls directly, he will definitely fall into flesh, and he will die!

But he was very calm, stabilized his falling body like in a black hole, saw the right time, grabbed the iron chain beside him, and a huge force was transmitted to his arm, making him cry out in pain, and finally stopped at 200 meters.

looked at the shaking ground below, broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice, "It's so dangerous!"

Immediately, continue to climb upwards.

"Do you want to go up!", a voice different from that of a dumb servant sounded in his heart.

Zhao Yi's heart sank, and he immediately looked around, he was the only one in the air at a height of two hundred meters, and several chains as thick as three people hugging.

He yelled, "Who are you? Come out! Don't pretend to be a fool!"

"I'm below you. ”

Zhao Yi looked down when he heard this, and a tear-like golden droplet slowly rose from the ruins under his feet until Zhao Yi's eyes stopped.

"It's you!", Zhao Yi stared at the golden liquid, and exclaimed, "What the hell are you?"

The strange voice in his heart sounded again: "You want to go up, right?"

He looked at the floating platform above that was more than a thousand meters away from him, smiled wryly, looked at the golden liquid, and nodded.

The golden liquid suddenly glowed with a golden blinding light, and slammed into his left eye, and the pain in his entire left eye was unbearable.

He let go of the chains in his arms again, and his hands clutched his left eye.

His body glowed with a golden glow, and he floated in the air, not falling.

His left eye flickered with broken images.

The little beast bathed in flames, the majestic Emperor of Heaven, the weird shape of the hundred tribes, the fairyland of a hundred flowers in full bloom, the millions of male horsemen who slash the evil and promote the righteousness, as well as the dark space full of thunder and the red earth that shouts and kills the sky!

It hit Zhao Yi's mind like the earth-shattering battle in that dream!

After that, the golden light on his body enveloped him and disappeared above the ruins.

When his feet touched the ground, he opened his eyes and found himself in a golden hall.

Even after 10,000 years, it is still spotless.

There was nothing around, except for a chair made of gold and inlaid with white jade on the steps in front of him!

Kneeling in front of the chair was a dry skeleton in a dark red robe, its hands raised upward, holding a sword case, and bowing its head humbly to the chair.

Zhao Yi walked up curiously, wanting to take a closer look.

Who knew that the skeleton suddenly raised its head towards Zhao Yi, its empty eyes seemed to have two eyes staring at him, and a faint voice sounded, "Descendant of the Great Emperor, you are finally here!"
