Volume 3: The Storm Rises Chapter 580: Xiao Hei Reappears
The conversation between the Holy Master and Lan Tianye did not intend to hide anything, causing a burst of exclamations, and everyone began to guess the true identity of the Holy Master.
"Yun Ran?"
"Haven't you heard that there is a healer named Yun Ran in the Medicine King Valley?"
"Isn't Yun Ran his real name?"
"Probably not, Lan Lao calls him Yun Ran, shouldn't it be wrong?"
“……”
All of a sudden, all kinds of questions came and went, although Lu Yao had been controlling the Blood Cry Tree, but he had also heard the conversation here, he had always just regarded the Holy Master as a puppet of the Heavenly Tower, but he never thought that he would have such an amazing identity.
What kind of place the Medicine King Valley was, Lu Yao didn't know, but he could feel from the reactions of Lan Tianye and Shui Changdong after the Holy Master mentioned this matter, it was definitely not a simple place.
At the same time, this also just explains why the Holy Master knows so much about the Blood Cry Tree, compared to the Medicine King Valley, there is a top study of the Blood Cry Tree.
However, surprise is surprise, at this time, Lu Yao's mind is more focused on how to use the Blood Cry Tree to open the door of the Hades Tower and go in to hunt for treasures.
The flaming arm didn't hurt Lu Yao, but only lightly touched the Blood Cry Tree a few times, which made Lu Yao brave enough to hold the Blood Cry Tree and take a few steps forward, until he was about to approach the door in the middle of the first floor of the Hades Tower.
Along the way, the arm that was burning with flames kept retracting as Lu Yao advanced, and the speed was almost the same as the speed of Lu Yao's advance, and when Lu Yao stopped walking, it also stopped contracting.
Lu Yao savored what Huo Tingting had just told him, he was considering, he was making up his mind, and at the same time he was hesitating, he didn't know whether he should believe Huo Tingting this time, although she had always seemed to be on his side.
But it was a matter of life, so he had to be cautious, and after thinking about it for a long time, Lu Yao finally chose to believe Huo Tingting once, he took out a sharp dagger from the space of the golden ring, and gently slashed at his wrist. After the stab, blood continued to flow out from the scratches, down his arms, down his fingertips, and onto the leaves of the Bloody Tree.
One drop, two drops, until Lu Yao's blood soaked all the leaves of the Blood Cry Tree, he quickly stopped his wounds and prevented even an extra drop of blood from flowing out.
Everyone held their breath and watched Lu Yao's every move, and they watched Lu Yao's burning arm not make a move while he was doing all this, as if they had seen the door of the Hades Tower open to them.
"Look, what's that!"
With an exclamation, everyone looked up at the sky, and Lu Yao also looked up to the sky, looking at a face similar to an ape that suddenly appeared in the sky.
That face was almost the size of two Hades Towers, almost like a cloud enveloping the entire world above the Hades Tower, and the facial features were clearly visible, even the blood-colored mist coming out of the nostrils was clearly visible.
"Tiny human, do you want to enter the Hades Tower?"
Just as everyone was speculating whether that face would be the owner of the flaming arm, suddenly, a huge voice like rolling thunder resounded throughout the space, with disdain in the voice, but also with supreme majesty, sacrosanct.
"Is it really the Tower of Hades?" Lu Yao muttered silently in his heart.
"Tiny human, where did you get the Bloodcry Tree, and what else do you want to give me besides the Bloodcry Tree?" The voice continued to sound, asking indifferently.
What else?
This made Lu Yao a little confused, Huo Tingting obviously told himself that the Blood Cry Tree was the only token to open the Hades Tower, and he himself had always guessed so, why did this majestic voice say that there was something else that should be handed over to it at this time?
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend, but I can't think of anything else I've forgotten!" Lu Yao thought about it for a while, but he couldn't remember it, and replied loudly.
"Haha, if you can't hand it over, then you will all die!" There seemed to be an inexplicable hint of excitement in that voice, and he roared loudly.
As its mood changed and its voice fell, the temperature in the entire space rose sharply, making people feel hot and unbearable, especially Lu Yao, who was closest to him, he felt that the moisture in his body was disappearing rapidly, and his lips and skin began to become chapped.
Lu Yao had even felt the approach of death, and he really couldn't think of any way to resist this kind of heat that made him unable to resist at all. But the next moment, the gold ring that Lu Yao wore on his finger began to emit a faint light when Lu Yao was not summoned.
This ray of light may not be clear to others, but Lu Yao is the clearest, every time he takes out or puts something into the golden ring space, there will be such a flash of light, but there has never been a time when the light is as obvious as this time, with the continuous flickering of light, it seems that something is going to break through the golden ring space and come out of it.
Suddenly, Lu Yao remembered one thing, that is, when Lu Jingyun should have told the scene he had experienced back then, the thatched house shrouded in white mist, a looming white-bearded and white-haired old man, at that time he just felt that all this was a little familiar, but then he didn't delve into it, and then he thought about it, and then he suddenly understood something.
At the beginning of Panlong Mountain, he was driven by a black monster into a strange dammed lake, and at the bottom of the lake he entered a fantasy world, where he saw a thatched hut shrouded in white mist, an old man with white beard and white hair, and it was also there that his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. Later, when his realm reached a certain level, he returned to the shore and subdued the black monster.
He clearly remembered the promise he had made to the white-bearded and white-haired old fairy that he would take the black monster to the next place and let it go back to where it belonged.
Thinking about this at this time, Lu Yao didn't dare to hesitate, and suddenly activated the magic circle of the golden ring space, and summoned Xiao Hei, who was folded like a piece of paper and stored in the golden ring space.
"Whew!"
With a roar, a black shadow, as soon as he broke free from the shackles of the golden ring space, Xiao Hei's body instantly swelled up, landed on all fours, and stood in front of Lu Yao.
It was still exactly the same as when one person and one beast first saw each other, Xiao Hei restored his appearance as a four-horned beast, his eyes were full of domineering spirit that looked down on the world, looked at the environment here, and glanced at Lu Yao with a complicated expression.
Such a sudden change made everyone hold their breath, even if they were as strong as Lan Tianye and Shui Changdong, they didn't dare to get close to Xiao Hei and Lu Yao easily, and could only wait and see how things would develop.
Lu Yao summoned Xiao Hei and took out something from the golden ring space, it was an ancient map drawn from animal skins, and a large part of the map was missing, but this did not affect the location of a relatively large black dot marked in it and the outline of the surrounding terrain.
This thing was given to him by the Immortal Venerable when he first saw Xiao Hei and was driven into the dammed lake to meet the owner of the thatched house, the Five Extremes Immortal Venerable, and it can be regarded as a task that Lu Yao accepted after absorbing the immortal qi contained in the Five Elements Tongtian Futon.
Xiao Hei is a species that was randomly made out when the Five Extremes Immortal Venerable was bored with cultivation, just because he was contaminated with the immortal energy on the Immortal Venerable's body and opened his spiritual sense, and had his own thoughts, and later stayed to guard the dojo when the Immortal Venerable ascended to the Tao and traveled to the universe, and then met Lu Yao, recognized Lu Yao, and helped him enter the small world to cultivate.
Lu Yao's cultivation was diligent, and when the small world was on the verge of collapse, a wisp of divine consciousness left by the Five Extremes Immortal Venerable reappeared, telling Lu Yao all the reasons, and asking him to take Xiao Hei to the location marked on the map. Lu Yao has always kept this matter in mind, but the map is really incomprehensible, so it has been delayed, at this time, Lu Yao turned out the map again, and only after a glance did he completely wake up, it turned out that the place marked on the map was the place where the Tianmen Pass, the Five Elements Bridge and the Hades Tower were located.
Lu Yao couldn't wait to slap himself twice at this time, if he could have realized the secret earlier, he would not have taken so many unjust paths and let so many people die because of this.
Lu Yao was annoyed at this time, but it was obvious that since Xiao Hei appeared, the protagonist here was no longer him for the time being, and after Xiao Hei appeared, the door in the middle of the first floor of the Hades Tower was finally completely opened.
The moment the door was opened, a monster with a monkey face and a human body walked out of the door, and the appearance of this monster brought an indescribable shock to everyone. I saw that it was about three meters tall, about the same as Xiao Hei, with endless flames burning above its head, and the same was true for its right arm, but the rest of its left arm and body were a completely different scene.
If you want to find a suitable word to describe it, the first thing that comes to Lu Yao's mind is the word "ice and fire". It's extremely asympathetic, but it's also very shocking. The flaming skull, the flaming right arm, the cold body and the left arm are incomprehensible.
After this monkey-faced monster appeared in everyone's sight, it didn't look at anyone, including Lu Yao, its gaze was locked on Xiao Hei's body all the time.
The two monsters that had subverted human perception stared at each other without much movement, but there was always a feeling that a great war was about to break out, and some of the more timid people retreated back to what they thought was safe. Only Lu Yao, Huo Tingting, Youlan, Tan Tao, Lan Tianye, Shui Changdong, Shengshi and Lan Jing always stood in place and never took half a step back.
