Chapter 9: The Altar in the Cave of Mystery
This cave is frighteningly large.
After Chen Anshi lit the fire talisman, the firelight illuminated for a moment, about dozens of meters high, and the space was about a thousand square meters, which was only a corner of the cave.
Counting the area of the entire Huashan Mystery Cave, it is estimated that no one has measured it yet, and Chen Anshi feels that they are going all the way down.
According to the layout of the mountain, Huashan is the main peak of this mountain range, so the space at its bottom is larger, that is, under the entire mountain range, is the scope of the mystery cave.
After passing through another fork, Chen Anshi suddenly saw three corpse cups roaring at another fork in the cave, and behind that fork, a huge long tail just swam away.
It looks like a giant python, but the tip of the tail is not pointed, but similar to the tail fin of a fish.
What is strange is that the corpse cup has been closely chasing after Jiao, but there seems to be some prohibition at that fork, they don't dare to cross the thunder pool half a step, just roar.
"Young master, why don't they chase after you?" An Qinian's flashlight also shone just right.
The corpse cup pursued Jiao hopelessly, and was illuminated by the bright light, and immediately turned around, without the slightest hesitation, as if he had seen something amazing, and pounced.
"Lao An, Xiao Qinglong, speed past that fork." Chen An kicked away a corpse cup in the center and reminded him loudly.
The two of them were reminded, but the speed was not slow, and they quickly interspersed through the passage opened by Chen Anshi.
An Qinian immediately untied the sword on his back and said loudly: "Young master, take the sword!" ”
The flesh of the corpse cup is very strong, ordinary swords can't break it at all, and they don't know the pain, because the cup is controlled.
I have to say that the cup technique is indeed a mysterious secret technique, but after thinking about it, it must be related to the descendants of Queen Si, that is, the tomb keeper outside the mystery cave.
If it didn't have anything to do with them, how did these corpse cups survive until now?
Could it be that like blood lice, if they don't breathe raw, they will go into a dormant state?
The Xuanyang sword came out of its sheath, and a violent murderous aura leaked out, and the three-headed corpse cup was obviously stunned for a moment, but that's all.
Especially the corpse cup that was kicked by Chen Anshi and lay on the ground, it seemed that it had emotions, and there was anger in the roar.
"Hehe, the cup will also have emotions? Unusual! Chen Anshi Xuanyang Sword was in his hand, and he was not afraid of the roar of the three-headed corpse cup.
A sword in one hand, a seal in the other.
When the corpse cup rushed forward, the hand holding the sword stabbed directly, and the position was tricky, and the head of the corpse cup was directly cut off.
Chen Anshi judged well, after the head of the corpse cup was cut off, a small maroon worm with the thickness of a little thumb crawled out of it.
The hand of the seal quickly went straight to the small insect, and a ball of fireball burst out from Chen Anshi's hand, accurately pointing at the small insect.
"Boom!"
With a soft shout, the fireball exploded, and the insects were blown to pieces.
With the same technique, he killed the other two corpse cups and extinguished the insects, Chen Anshi shook his grip on the Xuanyang sword, and the unknown liquid on the sword body was shaken clean.
An Qinian saw that Chen Anshi had killed the corpse cup, so he ran over from the side of the fork and took Xuanyang and put it on his back again.
Chen Anshi said: "Go!" ”
He had a feeling that he was getting closer and closer to the real tomb of King Si, needless to say, the big long worm must have felt the same way, so he spared no effort to rush to the depths of the mystery cave.
When passing through the fork, Chen Anshi indensed his senses, he did sense the breath of the formation, but he didn't know what kind of formation the first generation of Siwang had arranged, and he could actually isolate the tomb guards under his own cloth in sections.
It seems that this Si Wang has a lot of materials, and if he leaves a legacy, presumably his descendants will have a certain status in the cultivation world.
"It's a pity!" Chen Anshi sighed, and then took the lead, "Lao An, Xiao Qinglong, follow closely." ”
As soon as the two of them were snakes, they stopped talking, but headed deeper into the mystery cave.
After passing through three forks in a row, the two of them and the snake were on a platform, and surprisingly, in the center of this vast platform space, it seemed to be an altar.
And on the other side of the altar is the big long worm that Chen Anshi and they have been pursuing, Jiao.
The Jiao raised his head, and the small half of his body stood upright, and he also looked at Chen Anshi and them in a daze.
Not to mention the Jiao body under it, only half an upright body is smaller, there are more than ten meters, about the estimate of this Jiao, this Jiao should be dozens of meters long, four or five meters in diameter Jiao body, which makes people shudder.
On the top of the Jiao's head, a horn has already stretched out, and when the other horn stretches out, after another tribulation, it can turn into a dragon and travel the sky.
It's a pity that it did something it deserved.
It is also a living being, but it tortured and killed the primates of all things and slaughtered a village.
Chen Anshi found that the eyes of the Jiao, which was as big as a water tank, did a red dark light flash, and its body exuded the breath of a spiritual object that did not belong to it, which was loved by heaven and earth, and this breath was actually similar to the faint aura emanating from the altar.
Immediately, he focused his gaze on the center of the altar, and to his astonishment, he found that on the top of the altar, a pitch-black scepter stood on it.
And the breath of the scepter is strikingly similar to the aura emitted by Jiao.
Chen Anshi understood that it was the scepter on the altar that affected Jiao, and in the words that are now popular on the Internet, Jiao was blackened by the scepter.
Maybe it's the breath on the scepter that makes Jiao feel something, it doesn't hesitate to be blackened, but it also wants to get, or protect it.
But it didn't think that if it committed murder after being blackened, it would be tantamount to cutting off its path to becoming a dragon.
"Don't you understand?" Chen Anshi asked proudly.
He was asking Jiao, Jiao, who had survived a catastrophe, had opened his wisdom and could speak.
"Understand what? What all things pursue is the illusion of great power and immortality, aren't you? A dull voice came from Jiao's side.
Xiao Qinglong, the snake king on the side, couldn't help but shudder, this was the pressure from the bloodline level.
Chen Anshi waved his hand at it, "Don't panic, given time, you can do it." ”
I don't know if Chen Anshi did something to it, Xiao Qinglong quieted down.
"Yes, I pursue the illusion of great power and immortality, but I never create innocent killings, and that is not good for my pursuit."
"Humph!" Jiao spewed out two breaths from his nose, "If I tell you that the things on this altar can make you stronger, will you be tempted?" ”
"That's not a reason for you to commit murder." Chen Anshi hit the nail on the head and said.
"Aren't you here to hunt me down? You also want to get the things in the tomb of King Si, right? No, that altar is the tomb of King Si, and the scepter on it is the biggest treasure of King Si's tomb! Jiao said indifferently.
Chen Anshi frowned, and suddenly took a step towards the altar, only to see a black curtain suddenly rise.
The scepter on the altar glowed.
Black light, weird black light, the light shone on the black curtain, blocking Chen Anshi's footsteps.
And from the breath on the black screen, he clearly felt the breath of power.
An Qinian and Xiao Qinglong soon had a look of infatuation, and they couldn't help but start absorbing it.
"Wake up!"
Chen Anshi shouted loudly and forcibly woke up An Qinian and Xiao Qinglong.
"Stand back!"
An Qinian and Xiao Qinglong, who were awakened by the roar, glanced at each other, and each found the doubt and horror in each other's eyes, and immediately retreated until they were no longer affected by the black breath.
Fortunately, the black aura of this altar can only affect the area around the altar.
"This is the power of the king, I want to become strong, I want to inherit the power of the king." Jiao's voice continued to sound.
"You're in a spell!" Chen Anshi said: "However, you can't break this barrier and can't get the scepter, right?" ”
"Humph!" Jiao said coldly: "If you hadn't suddenly appeared, I only need to give me more than a month, and I would have been able to absorb enough power to break this barrier and get the Siwang Scepter, but right now, I can't wait." ”
Chen Anshi's face changed, and he quickly retreated back!
