Chapter 120: Crisis in the Underworld

An unknown wilderness, there is not too much human settlement, but the scope of this wilderness is extremely vast, almost fifty or sixty square kilometers, most of the whole wilderness is wasteland and swamps, only the lower right part of the wilderness is regarded as a gathering area of residents.

The rest of the wilderness is untouched, as it is full of strange legends......

Legend has it that there are some never-before-seen ogres in these swamps and wilderness, who will drag people away whenever they encounter them, and all these rumors come from the inhabitants of the area.

The inhabitants have been in the area since birth, and no one has ever left the village.

Because they have been educated by their families since they were young...... As long as you set foot outside the village, it's okay not to see these ogres, but if you see them, there is basically no chance of survival.

And there are a few people in this village who have seen ogres and escaped by luck, and never dare to go out again, they only dare to huddle in their own homes to survive.

When most of the old people in these villages have passed away, not many people can remember what these people have experienced, and these people who usually huddle in their own houses and dare not go out or go to work are like a parasite in this world, living by begging and helping other people's villagers.

Of course, in this world where you can only get food by working hard with your own hands, these people will undoubtedly be despised by these young and frivolous and not very sensible young people, who simply do not understand why these people are not very old, not disabled, and have no physical disabilities, so they hide at home and wait for death to come?

Even these young people, who are not very old, don't quite understand why there is a taboo in this village not to go out when it gets dark.

After all, for those of them who have begun to have mobile phones, have begun to have the Internet, and have begun to learn the mantras of young people in the city, when is it dark when the nightlife begins......

So they didn't understand why there were such rumors, and they had never even been out of the village, nor had they seen anyone from the outside come to their village.

Of course, they are not stupid, they are not stupid enough to listen to their elders completely, so some of them have secretly left the village, but they have either died, or they have a strange disease, or they hide in the house like those old people they despise and never dare to go out again.

The rest of the more well-behaved children, under the influence of their own parents, even if they are very dissatisfied, have to listen to their elders, work in the village during the day, and stay at home honestly at night, until the whole village is shrouded in darkness.

And this village is naturally not an ordinary village, but a tribe located in the underground world waiting for the gap between the underground world and the upper world.

The people of this tribe had to stay in this wilderness all their lives, and under the leadership of the priests, they strengthened this gap until they died......

Death is not the focus of the people of this tribe, because they will be reincarnated in this village again, and so on......

There is a very old woman in this village, who doesn't go out much on weekdays, only at night when she holds a very shabby and heavy wooden fish and knocks it......

From the moment the sun was covered in a cloud, she would knock on her wooden fish until the village was covered in darkness, and she would not stop her movements, as if once she stopped her movements, she would let the darkness completely engulf the village.

Because...... She is the sacrifice of this tribe.

The young people here are very dissatisfied with the old woman's actions, after all, this old woman has been constantly knocking on the wooden fish every night since they were born, and this wooden fish seems to have a very strong penetrating force, directly acting on their eardrums, if they have any troubles one day, they can't sleep at all.

But there was nothing they could do, because they were speechless when they saw this old woman, as if they were very afraid of this old woman in their own bones.

So...... No matter how dissatisfied they were, they could only hide and draw circles inside the house, because they were ordered by their parents not to go out at night, and they could not watch the scene outside through the window, so they could only lie on the bed and sleep, and they did not know what was happening outside.

And when they were obediently lying on the bed in their own house according to the words of their parents, the people they usually despised who did not rely on their own hands and only survived at home were wearing robes similar to those of shamans, hanging a long string of Buddhist beads, and followed the old grandmother to pick up the wooden fish and sit cross-legged at home, constantly tapping the wooden fish in their hands.

However, there seems to be something wrong with the wooden fish in their hands, because even through the sweaty condition of these people's continuous tapping, it can be seen that they are knocking on the wooden fish very hard, but these wooden fish do not make any sound, and the picture of this scene is extremely strange.

In this way, the whole village was safe and sound, surrounded by wooden fish, until the dragon head statue hanging above the four dilapidated gates of their village emitted a fiery red glow from its eyes......

Those of them who were ping-pong and knocking on the wooden fish, as if they felt that danger was far away from them, stopped tapping on the wooden fish.

And just as they breathed a sigh of relief, rarely walked out of the door that they would basically not open, and greedily sucked the air from the outside world, a very heavy breathing sound appeared in their ears.

What's going on?

The old woman, who had been knocking on the wooden fish for so many years, was shocked when she heard the sound of heavy breathing.

Because after night, it is impossible for this village to have any abnormal noises, if there is any abnormal noise, it means that the village is not completely safe, but now the dragon head statues guarding the village have emitted red light, which means that they have been protected by the Dragon Emperor Palace.

They are the natives of this village who are in the rift of the underground world of the Dragon Emperor Palace, and their location is also in the underground world of the Dragon Emperor Palace, close to the spatial rift between the underground world and the above-earth world.

Because of their own bloodline, they must always guard this spatial rift, and use their own bloodline to protect this spatial rift from foreign enemies.

As soon as all the people who had struck the wooden fish before heard the sound of heavy breathing, their whole hearts were terrified, as if the heavy breathing had sucked away their minds, making them feel as if they were constantly trembling in the house like ants on a hot pot.

According to the usual situation, as long as they knocked on the wooden fish until a red light appeared in the eyes of the dragon head statue hanging on the village gate, even if they had completed their task of reinforcing the crack, they could sleep peacefully until the next time the crack in the underground world of the Dragon Emperor Hall was abnormal.

Although they had to knock this wooden fish every night, because the flow speed of the underground world of the Dragon Emperor Hall was different from that of the above-earth world, their daily hours were extremely long, and when converted into the time that passed in the above-earth world, it would take them about a week or two to reinforce it.

So an hour or two can be exchanged for about a week or two, which is not a burden for them, but I don't know why they have to reinforce almost every twenty-four hours during this time, which makes them feel very strange.

Because if they want to strengthen this spatial crack, it means that the origin aura of the above-earth world and the underworld has been damaged, according to the normal process, it is considered normal maintenance to reinforce once a week or two, but during this time, they are basically maintaining every day.

They had to give birth to an unbelievable feeling...... There shouldn't be any crisis in the underground world of the Dragon Emperor Palace, right?

But as soon as this feeling appeared in their minds, they slapped themselves in the ear, after all, they had been surviving in the underground world for so many years, until Zhang Xu appeared, leading the aborigines of their dragon mound to defeat heaven and occupy this dimensional space, so that they had such a stable life now.

Heaven is an unshakable giant for the dragon mound before them, just like the difference between ants and elephants, Zhang Xu can lead them to defeat Heaven, what other problems can bother Zhang Xu?

Zhang Xu can be described as a god-like existence for them, the aborigines of the dragon mound.

Under normal circumstances, as long as there is the protection of the dragon head statue of the Dragon Emperor Palace, even if the sky falls, they will not have any worries, but now that the sound of this thick breath is constantly approaching them, it is obvious that there is a problem.

Whether to check it out or just ignore it, everyone has such a confusion in their hearts.

"Let's do it, let's take down the dragon head statue to check the situation, with the protection of the dragon head statue, we will definitely not have any problems."

After the old woman at the head said this, all the people who did not fall asleep in the dark had a cold look in their eyes.

After all, the dragon head statue of the Dragon Emperor Hall is the key to protecting this village, if this dragon head statue is taken down, a hole will be broken in the scope of the protection of the dragon emperor hall, which will lead to a certain crisis in the village.

But in this case, she only does what this old woman says, and this old woman is a god-like existence in this village, and her words can basically be regarded as the authority of this village.

Although the rest of the old men did not agree with the old woman's words, as soon as the old woman's words came out, these people could only acquiesce, after all, they had no way, and now that there was a crisis in the village, they could only do so.

Seeing that her words were not rejected by everyone, the old woman nodded, and then took down the statue of the dragon's head hanging from one of the gates of the village.

As soon as the statue of the dragon's head was taken down by the old woman, a strange light suddenly flashed in the old woman's eyes.

The next second.

The dragon head statue in her hand was crumpled into powder by it.

"What are you doing, old woman?"

The old woman's actions immediately caused the horror of all the old people present.

However, before they could react, the dragon head statues in the rest of the places were torn off, and they were crumpled into powder almost at the same time.

When the dragon head statue was pinched into powder, the heavy breathing sound around the ears of all the old men became extremely loud, as if it was ringing in their ears.

The next second.

A huge black shadow loomed over the village.

The huge black shadow appeared very quickly, and it didn't give these old men time to breathe at all, so they took a big mouth.

A huge suction force abruptly arises......

The next second.

The whole village was swallowed into its mouth.
