Chapter 52: The Portal
Let's say that there was an abnormal celestial phenomenon of a pillar of fire on the island in the middle of the lake, Yu Ying was secretly frightened, he seemed to have inadvertently caused a lot of things, this pillar of fire in the sky, could it be related to him in the fantasy volcano? Could it be that because the green diamond fruit was eaten, the illusion collapsed, and he inadvertently destroyed an eight-laurel tree, causing the Bagua Array to collapse? If this is the case, will Fu Jing and the others wake up from the illusion?
Yu Ying was frightened, hurriedly got off the tree, and quickly used his divine sense to communicate with Jianmu Xiaoshu, but he didn't expect the direction it was pointing to, it was still the wooden hut, so he had to bite the bullet and walked over, but found that the wooden hut dissipated with the wind, it seemed that because the chess pieces were destroyed, it collapsed, just behind the hut, but a pitch-black portal appeared, Jianmu Xiaoshu pointed to the portal, but he looked at the portal, it was dark inside, as if there was some kind of power surging, very weird.
He was busy communicating with Jianmu Xiaoshu with his quasi-divine sense, hoping that it could protect himself, this feeling really made him strange and uncomfortable, he felt so aggrieved, he actually needed a tree to protect himself, but for the sake of his life, he had no skin and no face, how could he care so much, he saw two branches and leaves wrapped around his arm, and he took a deep breath and walked towards the dark and surging portal.
Hopefully, when you walk in, you'll really be able to get out of this damn place? But he was still a little worried in his heart, he could only feel some simple life fluctuations of Jianmu Xiaoshu, joy or anger, etc., what it meant, but he couldn't figure it out, naturally he was very careful, but he had no choice, the pillar of fire caused abnormal celestial phenomena, he didn't know if Fu Jing and the others woke up, he didn't dare to go back to adventure, and he didn't understand the gossip formation, when the formation was not completely broken, he would fall into it again.
Yu Ying stiffened his head, came to the dark portal, took a deep breath, resolutely raised his feet, stepped in, did not expect a strange space dizziness, he fell into a darkness in front of his eyes, but soon he seemed to appear somewhere again, and a dim illusion appeared around him.
He has not weak night vision, so he can see that he seems to be in a cave, and at his feet, there is actually a circular pattern stone, blue and crystalline, could it be the legendary space spirit mine? In the computer materials in the basement of Rongsheng, it is mentioned that a space spirit mine is being developed by scientists and has already achieved something.
If this is really a spatial spirit mine, then the pitch-black portal will not be connected to a spatial channel, and the ultimate goal is the abyss that Fu Jing has been longing for.
Yu Ying walked down the space stone formation, and saw that this cave, at least more than ten meters high, five or six meters wide, on both sides of him actually leaned against two stone statues, three meters tall, wearing brute armor, wearing a helmet, holding a war spear, pestle on the ground, like two guard warriors. He found that the faces of the two guard warriors under their helmets were extremely similar to him, and they were indeed stone statues of human warriors.
Yu Ying was frightened, and slowly walked to the front of the cave, this tall cave, leading to the distance, because there was no light, it was very dim, he could only see within ten meters, but he didn't expect to walk less than fifty meters, and two more guard soldiers appeared in front of him, also armored and spears, fully armed, as if guarding this something.
However, when he walked in, he saw that one of the guard warriors had his head off and was covered in strange scratches, as was the other guard warriors. But in such a legendary place, with the Eight-Laurel Tree Giant Array, it must also be guided by a sacred tree similar to a small tree to guide here, and it will be invaded? It is really impossible to imagine the strength of the enemy, and of course, there may be other reasons.
Yu Ying nervously walked through the cave passage of more than two hundred meters, and saw several pairs of guard soldiers, more or less scratched, after leaving the cave, it seemed to be an empty big cave, his eyesight was limited, he could only see the dark and dull space, however, less than ten meters on the ground, there were stone steps, he walked over carefully, and found that the stone steps had nine steps, above the nine steps, there was a stone square, there seemed to be something on both sides of the square, dark and dull, very similar to those human stone statues seen in the cave, It's a pity that it's a little far away.
Yu Ying didn't dare to step on the stone steps, and scolded Jianmu Xiaoshu in his heart, looking at this situation, Jianmu Xiaoshu didn't understand his words at all, but according to his own wishes, it seemed to bring him into the abyss, where there are so many traces of human architecture, eighty percent of this is probably the tomb of the emperor that Fu Jing is looking for, the legendary emperor burial palace.
It's a pity that there is no way to retreat now, Jianmu Xiaoshu pointed to this underground palace deadly, completely ignoring his feelings, fortunately, this Jianmu Xiaoshu is a sacred tree, it seems to be a little dependent on him, it should be able to protect his life, so he carefully stepped on the first stone step.
Unexpectedly, after just stepping on this stone step, suddenly seemed to touch something, in an instant, on the stone statues on both sides of the square close at hand, suddenly exhaled, there was no fire to ignite a flame, blazing, this stone statue is not a human warrior, but a dragon stone pillar, with a hollow position on it, it seems to contain ten thousand years of ointment, it burned from the inside, and more dragon stone pillars continued to ignite, and finally, it illuminated the entire imperial burial palace.
Yu Ying was so frightened that he almost retreated from the stone steps, but after waiting for a few minutes, there seemed to be no other movement except for the ignited Panlong Stone Pillar, not even a sound, but it was such a dead silence that made him feel terrible, fortunately, there was a small tree in Jianmu, a little relaxed, and he looked carefully at this underground palace, and found that it was very wide, and when he looked up at the top of the cave, it was thousands of meters high.
In front of the underground palace, there seem to be a lot of ancient buildings, carved beams and paintings, full of ancient atmosphere, there seems to be a two-story square, above the nine steps, it is a large square, but there is a more than ten steps above, about five or six meters high, you can't see the scene of the square above, but on this big square, he actually saw countless stone statues of human warriors, some holding spears, swords, knives, and some driving chariots, it seems to be a military camp, however, many of these warrior stone statues have been destroyed, Only a small number of people are still intact in human form, but all of them are holding weapons in their hands, as if they are like their own lives, even if they die, they will not lose their weapons?
The main square has some ruined scenes, and on the left and right sides, there are several buildings, two are a bit similar to the feeling of a beacon tower, and the rest are ancient buildings, as if they are residential palaces, large and small, the tall ones are three or four stories high, and the low ones are only one floor palace.
However, what shocked Yu Ying the most was that among those broken human stone statues, there were other strange stone statues, he frowned, slowly walked up the stone steps, stepped on this large square, fortunately did not find anything abnormal, so he walked over carefully, and saw those strange stone statues, some of them looked like werewolves, with a wolf head and a human body, with substantial hair all over their bodies, holding a mace in their hands, extremely fierce, half-squatting on the ground, facing the human warriors opposite, hoarsely grinning, roaring and howling, but they were pierced through the body by several war spears of human warriors. He also saw a minotaur, clutching a battle axe, slashing at a human warrior.
In the scene, whether it is a broken stone statue or an intact one, Yu Ying actually saw thirty-four such humanoid monsters, the heads are all beast-like, minotaurs, werewolves, half-horse people, and even bear people, it seems that they are fighting with human warriors, the scene is very tragic, he saw that there are at least more than two hundred human warriors, but there are only fifty or sixty humanoid monsters, but the situation on the battlefield seems to be unfavorable to human warriors, although this is the picture presented by the broken stone statues, but the battlefield that comes out of the brain is so terrible?
What Yu Ying cared about the most was that when he saw these humanoid monsters that looked like humans and beasts, he didn't have the feeling of seeing the demon planter at all, but there was an indescribable hostility, just like the hostility of the beast clan to human beings, which could not be extinguished, but it was so distressing that he wanted to kill these humanoid monsters immediately, even if these were stone statues?
Fortunately, his will was firm and suppressed this impulse, but such a strange hostility made him a little overwhelmed, and in the end, it was a little cool life vitality from Jianmu Xiaoshu that made him restrain his mind and not chop these stone statues.
In this big square, he turned around, it was very huge, at least ten kilometers wide, it was simply a small underground palace city, but he didn't find any abnormal signs, except for the fierce battle scene of humanoid monsters and human warriors, there was nothing else, even among those large and small palaces, there was also a battle between the two, mainly those big palaces, he didn't know what this meant? Isn't this what the legend says? Is it a different story?
Yu Ying was puzzled in his heart, and hurriedly stepped on the eighteen steps again, sure enough, it was another square, but it was smaller than the following, but it was also seven or eight kilometers huge, and there was also a battle scene between human warriors and humanoid monsters, the battle situation seemed to be even more tragic, and the humanoid monsters seen were even more huge, at least four meters tall, not more than two meters below, and many human warriors also turned into demonic beasts, fighting with them, the battle situation seemed to be in a state of stalemate, and both sides could not get benefits, but there were stone fragments of both on the ground, He didn't know the stone statue of the battle situation in this underground palace, what did he want to express?
He looked around again, and found that there were also many palace-like buildings here, but there were nine tall palaces on the edge of the square, which were invaded by humanoid monsters, and pounced on them, because these were stone statues, so he carefully walked into one of the large palaces, but found that in this palace, there was a human stone statue of a golden armor, which seemed to be a powerful human general, and there was a minotaur, at least six meters tall, pounced in, however, the minotaur did not seem to be the opponent of the golden warrior, Split in half by the sword of the golden warrior, the stone statue of the minotaur lay on the ground, broken in two.
In addition to these, he couldn't see anything else, around the nine palaces, he found that there were stone statues of such powerful human generals, some wearing gold armor, some wearing bronze armor, anyway, all of them were extremely strong, however, there were also a few human generals who were smashed by humanoid monsters and smashed the stone statues, I don't know what the situation is? Will it affect this emperor's burial palace?
Yu Ying's heart became more and more uneasy, everything shown in this emperor's burial palace was a life-and-death war between the enemy and us, and in the center of the nine palaces, there was a taller black tower, about nine floors, because he felt that this black tower was very weird, so he searched the other nine palaces first, and it took more than an hour, but there was no other discovery, so he had to walk towards the nine-story black tower.
And Jianmu Xiaoshu actually pointed a branch to the nine-story Black Tower, which made him feel an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if he was eager and afraid, but in the end, he still walked into the gate of the Black Tower.
