Chapter 15: The Dead Body
Mo Nuo fell into distress, he didn't dare to disobey Xiao Ling's orders, and he was greedy for the "Divine Yuan Fruit", but he was afraid that this would involve some high-level battles, and once he was accidentally involved, he would be equivalent to cannon fodder.
After much thought, he left the hall and entered the inner chamber where he lived.
The inner chamber where he lived belonged to the forbidden place in the headquarters of the "Black Knight", and when he entered the inner chamber, no one could approach and disturb him without his orders.
"This news should be reported anyway, and if it really involves a high-level fight, I can't get involved."
In the inner room where he lived, there was a bracket on the back wall, and when it was opened, there was a secret room inside, and Mono entered the secret room, where there was a square table, and there was an incense burner on the square platform, and Mono showed a solemn look on his face, lit a stick of sandalwood, inserted it into the incense burner, and then bowed down to this incense burner.
It's strange to say, when he knelt down, the incense burner immediately reacted, and a voice sounded.
"Mono, what are you looking for me?"
Although the voice was low, if it was absent, it was very vigorous, with a penetrating power that penetrated into the heart and lungs.
Mono had a respectful look on his face and said, "Respected God, Mono has something important to report, and two people have just come here under his subordinates, claiming to be from the upper world. ”
"Oh?" The voice immediately became clear, and the voice was very surprised: "There is such a thing? ”
"Yes." Mo Nuo then told in detail what happened after Xiao Ling and Xia Xi arrived.
"The stakes are so important that subordinates don't dare to make claims."
The voice from the incense burner fell silent, and there was no response for a long time, and Mono was not in a hurry, but just bowed his head and knelt there respectfully.
I don't know how long it took, Mono was a little impatient, and the other party would often be silent for a while, but it was the first time that he hadn't spoken for so long like today.
He was feeling a little strange when he suddenly felt a voice from behind him: "You get up." ”
The voice came suddenly, Mo Nuo trembled, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he was busy getting up, but he found that there was an old man in a black robe behind him, half-concealing his face, as if he had blended into the darkness, which made people feel a sense of dream.
"God ......" Mono was busy kneeling down again.
He didn't expect that the other party would personally rush over from the Dark Tower.
This is a god from the "Dark Tower", the "Black Knight" can become one of the four strongest forces that rule the Chaos Land, and it is inseparable from the support of this "Dark Tower" god, and similarly, behind the other three forces, there are shadows of gods, otherwise it is impossible to become a powerful force that dominates the Chaos Land.
Therefore, the "Land of Chaos" is ruled by the four major forces on the surface, and the real ruler actually belongs to the "Dark Tower".
The black-robed old man waved his hand, and an invisible force helped Mo Nuo up, and he squinted his eyes slightly: "Can't sense the aura of a strange god, this god who claims to be an upper-level envoy, hides his breath?" ”
is also a god, the other party hid his breath, and the old man in the black robe couldn't sense it.
"God, what should my subordinates do?" Mono asked cautiously.
The black-robed old man said lightly: "You just obey his orders and help him find the whereabouts of that person, of course, after finding the whereabouts of that person, you must notify me as soon as possible." ”
"Got it." Mono nodded.
"This is not a trivial matter, remember to keep your mouth shut, and never leak it out."
After a few words of advice from the black-robed old man, he disappeared, he originally came from the "Dark Tower" to see if he could see this high-level envoy, but unfortunately he pounced.
After leaving the headquarters of the "Black Knight", the old man in the black robe returned to the "Dark Tower", and he decided to report the matter.
Although he is a god and is high in the outside world, all the people living in the "Dark Tower" are gods, and ordinary gods like him can only live in the lower layer of the "Dark Tower", and the middle layer is inhabited by ten powerful gods, and there is only one master on the upper level of the "Dark Tower", which is the management and ruler of the entire world, the Black Heavenly King.
The black-robed old man was just an ordinary god, and he was not qualified to directly ask to see the Black Heavenly King, so he needed to report to his superior, one of the ten powerful gods who lived in the middle of the Dark Tower, the God of Aite.
At this moment, Xiao Ling and Xia Xi, under the guidance of the one-eyed Lute, had already met the leader of the "Iron Blood Regiment", a demigod powerhouse.
The reaction of the head of the regiment was similar to that of Mo Nuo, knowing that the person in front of him was from the upper world and had the strength of a god, he was shocked, and promised to launch the people of the "Iron and Blood Regiment" to search for Xiao Hairong in this area.
After that, Xiao Ling and Xia Ji took One-Eyed Lute to the headquarters of the "Black Iron Society", and One-Eyed Lute instructed Fang, Xiao Ling took him and rushed there as quickly as possible.
He vaguely felt that he might not be able to hide the matter of pretending to be an upper-level envoy for a long time, so he wanted to mobilize these four major forces now and try his best to search for Xiao Hairong's whereabouts, hoping to find out.
In the dark tower, the black-robed old man saw the god of Aite, one of the ten powerful gods, and reported the news he knew.
The god of Aite is one of the ten most powerful and powerful gods under the Black Heaven Throne, and lives in the middle of the "Dark Tower", only these ten powerful gods can directly ask to see the Black Heavenly King, the old man in the black robe is just an ordinary god, and he is not qualified to ask to see the Black Heavenly King.
When the god of Aite learned of the news, he immediately rushed to see the Black Heavenly King.
At the top of the "Dark Tower", there is a magnificent dark temple in which the Black King lives, and at the top of the main hall, there is a throne dotted with black stones, and the Black King is high on the throne and summons the god of Aite.
"Heavenly King, the upper world sent a messenger, but bypassed you, secretly investigated, and asked some forces below to assist them in searching for a person, it is said that he is a person who defected to the upper world, I really don't understand, if the other party really wants to hunt down a defector, directly ask to see the Heavenly King, you give an order, who else can't be hunted down? Why bother? ”
The god of Aite had an incomprehensible look on his face.
The Black Heavenly King sat in the throne, supporting his face with his slender hands, looking at the god of Aite standing in the main hall, his beautiful eyes flashed slightly.
Although the Black Heavenly King incarnated as a black iron giant looked hideous and terrifying, in fact, she was extremely beautiful, if you only looked at her true appearance, no one would have thought that she was the Black Heavenly King who shocked the entire lower world with power and terrifying means.
"Aite, what do you think?" After a while, the Black Heavenly King spoke, and her voice was unexpectedly quite gentle.
The god of Aite showed a solemn look on his face, and said slowly: "The subordinates suspect that this so-called pursuit of a defector is just a cover for the other party, and I am afraid that if they really want to investigate or the real purpose, it must be related to you, or even unfavorable to you, so they will directly bypass you." ”
"Investigate me? What to investigate me? A cold look flashed across the Black Heavenly King's face.
Aite's expression hesitated for a moment before he said, "You should have heard some folk rumors about the Heavenly King, and they all say that the Heavenly King is ......."
At this point, he stopped talking, as if he didn't know how to speak.
The Black Heavenly King smiled faintly and said, "It is said that I was banished to the lower world, and my heart is full of resentment towards the upper world, so sooner or later I will lead the gods of the Dark Tower to re-enter the upper world, is this a rumor?" ”
The god of Aite said in a deep voice: "Although we all know that these are just rumors, what we are afraid of is that after the upper world hears these rumors, they don't know the truth, will they believe it?" And then investigate these rumors? They even went further and wanted to collect some clues or news that were unfavorable to the Heavenly King, only in this way could they explain why they bypassed the Heavenly King and secretly hid their whereabouts to investigate. ”
The words of the god of Aite made the Black Heavenly King fall into deep thought, and then said slowly: "This should be what that guy meant, in this case, I would like to go and meet this messenger of the upper world for a while." ”
When she said this, she paused for a moment before continuing: "Aite, you go and contact this messenger of the upper world, bring them here, and I will meet them in person." ”
"Yes." The god of Aite saluted, then exited the Dark Temple.
When the Black Heavenly King decided to meet Xiao Ling and Xia Xi in person, under the leadership of One-Eyed Lute, they had already met the leader of the "Grim Reaper" organization, and the other party promised to go all out to help them search for Xiao Hairong's whereabouts, and then extremely kept Xiao Ling and Xia Xi to stay temporarily, and they were very enthusiastic.
Xiao Ling refused and left with Xia Xi, and after that, even the one-eyed Lut was taken away by him.
He has done everything he should do, and as for whether these four major forces can find Xiao Hairong's whereabouts, he is not the slightest sure, and he can't stay here forever and wait for Xiao Hairong to show his breath.
He decided to go in the direction of the "Dark Tower".
And at this moment, according to the various clues obtained, the god of Aite is leading several ordinary gods, including the black-robed old man who is regarded as a backer by the leader of the "Black Knights", Mono, to leave the "Dark Tower" and rush towards the "Grim Reaper" organization, which happened to intersect with Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling hid his breath, and the other party couldn't sense it, but a group of gods such as the God of Aite didn't deliberately hide their breath.
Xiao Ling sensed that several powerful gods were approaching, and immediately avoided them from afar, only observing in secret.
"The four ordinary gods, the first one, is a powerful god with at least four times the power of ordinary gods......"
Xiao Ling secretly commented, and then did not stay, but took Xia Xi to leave this chaotic place and approach the "Dark Tower".
The god of Aite pounced, Xiao Ling hid the aura of the gods, and he couldn't sense it, so he could only mobilize others to find Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling didn't know that he was pretending to be an envoy of the upper world, and as a result, even the Black Heavenly King was alarmed, and he wanted to meet him.
As he got closer and closer to the "Dark Tower", Xiao Ling began to feel frightened, he only needed to sense it slightly, and he could feel that there were streams of divine power in this "Dark Tower", and each divine power breath represented a god.
"Amazing, this dark tower is really hidden, I'm afraid that the gods of the entire lower world are concentrated in this dark tower, although they are just ordinary gods, but the number is quite amazing, at least there are more than hundreds, not including some gods like me who hide their breath."
As for the upper level of the Dark Tower, he didn't dare to peep, because the Black Heavenly King was too powerful, an existence more powerful than a powerful god, and no one knew what kind of means she had, in case she found out that she was peeping, it would be troublesome.
Xiao Ling didn't want to cause trouble, his main goal now was to enter the "burial place" and look for opportunities.
Xia Ji didn't have Xiao Ling's strength, but he wasn't as surprised as Xiao Ling, the speed of the two of them was very fast, and after half a day, after bypassing this dark tower from afar, according to the map, they would enter the ruins.
In the past half a day, Xiao Ling has not been able to sense Xiao Hairong's revealing aura, and he doesn't know if Xiao Hairong is still in the chaotic place, or if he has entered other places.
"To enter the land of the dead, you need to first pass through the ruins, and then enter the land of quicksand." Xiao Ling shook off the map in his hand and looked ahead again, the dark tower at this moment was far behind them, and they entered a desolate world full of rocks.
The Land of Chaos is where the Black Iron Clan lives, and you can see the Black Iron Clan people with brown skin everywhere, and this desolate ruin looks deserted, Xiao Ling and Xia Ji went hundreds of kilometers deep all the way, except for the occasional discovery of some dry bones, they did not see a single living being.
Xia Ji said: "Then Mo Nuo lied to us?" He said that there were a lot of desolate corpses in the ruins, but now there was nothing. ”
"Probably not, in my senses, this ruin is extremely vast, and we are only just entering the edge now, let's go."
Xiao Ling took Xia Xi's hand and sped up again, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Xiao Ling and Xia Xi did not use the power of the gods, but suppressed their speed and power at the level of demigods.
Soon they went deep into the distance of thousands of miles, and more and more huge rocks appeared, many of which were piled up, shaped like high mountains, Xiao Ling took Xia Ji to land on top of a pile of huge rocks, just now, he felt a reaction under this huge rock.
As soon as the two of them landed on the boulder, they saw a roar from below, and then a figure staggered out from below.
It was a mangled headless corpse, with no head and hands, only the body and legs remained, staggering between the boulders, Xiao Ling and Xia Xi appeared and alarmed it, and there was a sound from its body, which sounded like a roar.
Xiao Ling showed a look of surprise on his face, and said: "After death, the body is immortal, the remnant soul is immortal, this corpse is at least the realm of gods before death, this breath is ...... It is the four-headed clan, and this corpse was the god of the four-headed clan before his death. ”
Suddenly, in this desolate ruin, a headless and armless corpse was found, Xiao Ling recognized it as the god of the Sishou clan, and both of them were very surprised.
Xiao Ling understood that this corpse should have fought before his death, but as a result, his soul was destroyed, and his head and arms were cut off, but after a long period of time, his destroyed soul gradually multiplied, forming such a remnant soul.
