Volume 1 Forest of Strange Beasts Chapter 19 Strange Ruins
Lu Yunfei didn't know how deep he had fallen into the ground, and when he woke up, he was lying on top of a pile of rocks.
"How could the cave suddenly collapse?" Lu Yunfei was a little puzzled, Rao is monster's strength is amazing, the ground shook and the mountains shook, it shouldn't have directly collapsed the ground, and it was the piece he was in.
Lu Yunfei touched his arm, some blood oozed out, probably from being hit by gravel when he fell, but fortunately, he didn't seem to be injured elsewhere.
Lu Yunfei stood up and looked around, he was in a place similar to an underground river. The river was dark, and it was impossible to see the depths, but there were shining spots floating in the water. On both sides of the river bank is also a stone wall, but there are several small holes in the stone wall, and there are fire candles burning on the small holes, and the fire candles continue along the far side of the river, and it is impossible to see where the end is.
Under the light of the candlelight, the waves sparkled, as if there were countless snake shadows twisting on the stone wall.
"What kind of place is this? There's a candle flame burning. Lu Yunfei approached the nearest candle flame and poked his head over, the color of the candle was the same as normal, the candle was wrapped in something like a jar, and under the wick was a transparent grease-like thing, and the candle would release a strange fragrance when it burned.
Lu Yunfei walked towards the front of the river, no matter what, he still had to find an exit to get out of here first.
The feeling here made Lu Yunfei feel very uncomfortable, very desolate, without a trace of life, as if he was in a dark forest.
Following the direction of the flame candle, Lu Yunfei walked away for half an hour, and even the river was dead silent, except for Lu Yunfei's footsteps echoing around.
At this time, Lu Yunfei suddenly stopped, and there was a figure lying on the ground not far away, but there was no trace of life on his body, and his body was half-subdued, Lu Yunfei thought it was a stone from a distance, Lu Yunfei was quite calm at this time, and he felt that he would not be surprised if he encountered strange and strange things now. He used his sword to pick the figure apart, it was a skeleton, and the clothes on its body looked a little quaint, and it was not clear what age it was, and the clothes were covered with a thick layer of ash.
However, it is a little strange that this skeleton is not like an ordinary person, it is just an ordinary white bone, and its body seems to be covered with a layer of dark gold lacquer, which looks like a golden light flowing from a distance, and its charm is extraordinary.
Lu Yunfei had never heard of a monk's skeleton becoming so ordinary because of his cultivation.
Lu Yunfei squatted down and looked at it, there was a jade plaque in Bai Gu's hand, which looked like an ordinary jade plaque, but it was engraved with the word Wei Zhi.
Lu Yunfei lifted the jade plaque with his hand, and it seemed that his name was engraved on it.
There seems to be no other clue other than this jade plate.
"If I have the chance, I will transfer the jade plate to your family, and you can rest in peace.." The deceased was the greatest, Lu Yunfei muttered softly to the corpse, and then got up and continued to walk forward.
If someone has been here, there should be an exit. Although I don't know what happened to this person before he fell here, Lu Yunfei can't think about it so much now. Because there is a semicircular stone arch not far in front of the corpse, spanning the river, there is a gate in the center of the stone arch, which completely obscures the front, making it difficult to see the environment behind the door.
Lu Yunfei walked to the stone door, the color of the stone arch was light gray, and there were some words on the stone pillar, but the wear made Lu Yunfei unable to distinguish it, and there was a trace like a sigil in the center of the door. Lu Yunfei didn't know much about runes, most of them existed on special rune paper, otherwise the spiritual power on the runes would be easily leaked, causing the runes to lose their due effect. It can be said that the sigil is the embodiment of the law.
Lu Yunfei tried to push the door, but the door was closed, and Lu Yunfei couldn't push it open even if he pushed hard.
"Do you know what this sigil means?" Lu Yunfei asked as he flew towards the little black sword.
"How do I know, there are so many types of sigils, and some even involve some law changes. Little Black Sword replied. "But you try to put your spiritual power on the sigil. ”
So Lu Yunfei pressed his palm on the talisman and transmitted the spiritual power in his body from his palm. Then the sigil lit up because of the spiritual power, and then there was a clicking sound, and the closed stone door actually shrank from top to bottom.
At the moment when the door opened, there was a sudden palpitation for no reason, Lu Yunfei turned his head and looked in the direction he came from, he felt that something was watching him, and the feeling of palpitations was particularly strong, but when he looked back, only the fire candles seemed to be layered behind him, everything was quiet, and the Dead River still did not fluctuate.
Lu Yunfei looked back like this for about half a minute.
“... Let's hope it's nothing. Lu Yunfei could only comfort himself like this.
After the door opened, Lu Yunfei walked in, and after entering the door, it seemed to be a large piece of flat land, and the river did not pass behind the door.
There were only two candles in the middle on a large flat ground, and it was impossible to see behind in the dim vision. However, Lu Yunfei still saw that this seemed to be a big hall, because there were various lines on the walls, although they were worn to the point that they couldn't see clearly, Lu Yunfei could still vaguely see how gorgeous it was before it was worn.
Walking ahead, in the shadowed corner sat two stone statues in the shape of monks, holding giant swords in both hands, the giant swords stuck straight into the ground, and their eyes looking straight ahead. There is a feeling of not being angry and self-assured.
However, Rao is Lu Yunfei can see that it is a large hall, but the ground is full of various broken lines, and there are many broken stones not far ahead, and there are many collapsed stone pillars connected to the wall as far as the eye can see, and the stone pillars are also full of various lines and some words that are worn out to the eye.
"Could it be a ruin here?" Lu Yunfei was a little puzzled, he fell from the collapsed cave and fell to an ancient ruin?
Lu Yunfei continued to walk forward, releasing his divine sense, and sensing the movement around him, but it seemed that there were no other living creatures except for him, and after walking for a long time, the road ahead began to narrow, and it was a long tunnel.
In front of him, he was blocked by a collapsed stone pillar halfway, and what was blocked seemed to be a relatively small stone door, but there was a small stone cave broken in the upper right corner of the stone gate, but with Lu Yunfei's size, it couldn't pass through.
Lu Yunfei gritted his teeth, accumulated spiritual power, swung his fist, and swung a wave fist towards the exposed part of the stone gate, with a loud "boom", the only remaining part of the stone gate was smashed by Lu Yunfei with a punch. Through the broken hole, Lu Yunfei's gaze cast inside, it was dark, and there seemed to be no candle flame.
However, Lu Yunfei is also very simple, since he has come to this point, and there is no way back to go back, it is better to continue to move forward to find out, he wants to see what kind of place this is.
Jumping onto the stone pillar in front of him, Lu Yunfei easily got in, but less than a second after landing on the ground, he only heard a clear sound of "boom", as if something was ignited, and then saw candles suddenly lit on both sides, and then stretched to the rear.
The dark sight instantly brightened, but Lu Yunfei's brows furrowed.
Everywhere in sight, there were all kinds of bodies dressed in ancient costumes, these bodies still maintained their pre-life demeanor, some were holding giant swords, or other weapons of various kinds, there were almost no traces of blood on their bodies, the only thing in common was that almost every body had a twisted face to the extreme, with round eyes, clenched teeth, and lips wide open. Almost all of the people stained with blood stabbed their weapons into their bodies, lying on their sides on the ground, as if they couldn't bear the extreme pain, and wanted to know their lives with their own hands, but the speed of death seemed to be faster than that of the end in person. There is also a female body, which was very beautiful before she was born, but now her expression is that her eyes are dull and round, and she is holding a simple and dull knife, which cuts from the corner of her mouth to the root of her ears, which looks extremely terrifying.
Their hideous expressions seemed to be frozen at the same time.
The surrounding buildings seem to tell that this place was once like a palace, but now there are hundreds of corpses lying on the ground in front of the main hall, and the distorted faces and postures make this place like a hell.
"This is the ultimate source of the dead qi I sensed earlier. The little black sword's tone was still shy
However, Lu Yunfei was in no mood to joke with it, he said coldly, "Did you deliberately lure me here?" "Everything seems to be happening too much by coincidence.
Lu Yunfei was now sure that this was definitely an ancient relic in the legend, and he couldn't tell what era it was in at all. And this place like the Shura Field made him extremely uncomfortable, he didn't know how so many people died suddenly and violently in an instant, and it seemed that he had experienced pain deep into the bone marrow before he died.
"How dare I seduce you, host, do I? It's a complete coincidence, and if you suddenly lie dead on the road, I'll be gone. Xiao Heijian's tone was still so cheap, as if this place like the Shura Field was nothing to it at all. "I'm still trying to tempt you to make a deal with me. ”
"I believe in your wickedness. Lu Yunfei said coldly.
Looking at what they are wearing, it seems that it is earlier than the First Age of the Federation, is it the Dark Ages?
Thinking about it like this, Lu Yunfei felt even more incredible, the history of the Dark Ages seemed to be suddenly cut off, and all people knew about was the war between the alien beasts and humans, and the harem Zhiyuan and other monks exterminated the lord of the alien beasts, so there was the current federal era. But what about earlier history?
