17: The cemetery of the King of Chu

The gate of heaven interrupted the opening of the Chu River, and the blue water flowed eastward to this point.

The green hills on both sides of the strait are opposite each other, and the lonely sail comes by the sun.

……

Walking into the vortex dimensional portal on the sword monument, one step into it, it is already another world.

An exotic landscape in front of you.

Although the sky is high and the sun is high, the sky gives people a very gloomy feeling for no reason.

This is the Sword Shrine Secret Realm, the first copy of the virtual game of the same name adapted from the metaverse movie of the same name by Monster Pictures.

Maybe the instructor forgot to tell one thing, although the Bronze-level Trial Secret Realm is the secret realm with the lowest difficulty and the greatest reward, it is also the secret realm with the highest mortality rate.

The biggest key to this is that most novices lack good mental quality in the face of danger. Therefore, at the beginning of the game in the previous life, the rookie mortality rate was once as high as more than 80%. And even if you make it back alive, can you guarantee that you'll earn the value of your tickets?

Maybe it would be better for military cadets, but Chen Longshi was not optimistic.

A tattoo in the shape of a sharp sword appeared on his forearm. With a slight excitation of star power, an illusory box jumps out. It wasn't floating in the air, but it was directly in his line of sight, and even as the perspective moved, the words were still, as if embedded in his retina.

The text reads as follows:

Secret Realm of Trials: Sword Shrine

Uncharted difficulty: Bronze

Trial Evaluation: 0% (Trialists will be affected by exploring or communicating with characters in the current world, or fighting)

Trialists, automatically master the language of the world.

Trial time, seven days.

The box was hidden, and Chen Longshi began to sort out the information. First, some text symbols filled his mind, which was an ancient language, and Chen Longshi suddenly learned this language that he had never learned before.

Then there are some strange scenes that keep hovering in my mind.

It is a plot introduction about the secret realm of the sword mound: Legend has it that in the deep mountains of the land of Chuzhou, there is a cemetery of the king that is still fearful after death - the tomb of the king of Chu.

The king of Chu brutally ruled the entire kingdom during his lifetime, and after being assassinated, he still included half of the kingdom into his underground dark world, continuing his brutal rule. It is rumored that he has the power of the sword that destroys the world and destroys the world, has an immortal body and countless immortal swordsmen, and after death, he is even more carefree, and dances and drinks and has fun in the royal tomb with his favorite concubine every day.

"It's dark, don't go out."

This is a warning word that almost the entire people of Chuzhou know.

Every full moon night, a sword attendant wearing a demon mask crawls out from the deepest part of the graveyard to kill living beings. Legend has it that one day, when the immortal swordsmen of the King of Chu have collected enough living blood, he will be resurrected again, allowing darkness to reign over the land of Chuzhou again.

In order to prevent the resurrection of the undead of the ancestors, it was once again a catastrophe. The descendants of the king of Chu built a city in the deep mountains, suppressed the cemetery with the spirit of the nine-headed bird, the former national bird, and fought against the undead for generations to ensure the safety of the people of Yizhou.

Recently, there was a natural vision, and a warrior from another world came here, and went to Huangquan with a single sword, wanting to completely kill the king of Chu.

……

This information is basically the same as what is known, and the warrior from the other world who wants to go to Huangquan with a sword alone is probably him.

Chen Longshi looked around him, and he didn't know when he had changed into a set of deep-robed robes from the Spring and Autumn Period in ancient China.

The characteristics of deep clothes are: first, the top and bottom are connected; Second, there is no difference between male and female styles, and they can be worn.

But it is divided into two kinds: one is the wide style of the Central Plains, the "wide Bo belt" is comfortable to wear, the length does not mop the ground, the hem does not fork, the elbow can be worn, the sleeve length and arm length are equal, and the waist is tied with a large wide width, and the nobles of the Central Plains love to wear it when they feast. The second is the slender type, the "continuation of the hook edge" is the most popular in Chudi, the slender one in the north, the collar edge is wider, the edge is made of thicker fabric, and the right side is very long.

It seems that he should be in Chudi, very good, and will not delay too much time on the way.

Climb high and look into the distance, a barren, vaguely on the other side of the mountain to see a little trace of architecture. It was not early, and he immediately turned around and went down the mountain.

As soon as we crossed the mountain, it was already dark.

The world is darkening too fast, and something is not normal.

If the time of day is fixed, it means that the night will be extraordinarily long.

Just as he was pondering whether to light a torch, a loud and loud roar suddenly sounded in the dense forest ahead.

Without him having to reach out to his spiritual sense, he had already found several heavily armed knights coming out of the forest in a panic.

The leader is dressed in a dazzling fiery red armor, from the headdress to the riding boots to the sword at the waist. The red helmet is carved with the badge of the nine-headed bird, and long black hair sticks out from under the helmet.

Several riders around her were carefully guarding her, fighting and retreating.

The horses under this group of people are huge, tall and mighty, and their appearance is even more hideous and fierce. Bone spurs appeared on the horse's forehead, and his eyes were like ghost eyes. There are also barbs on the joints of the limbs, which are clearly a fierce beast. They run at a fast speed, taking several meters with each leap.

Rao is like this, and he can't get rid of the chasing soldiers behind him.

Less than fifty meters behind them, there was a group of undead swordsmen with rusty faces and rusty helmets who walked like flying, this group of monsters were tall, their whole bodies were wrapped in heavy armor, and only two scarlet burning eye sockets remained, and fire peeked out from the cracks in the helmets.

The sound of the war horse rumbling and kicking the earth was getting closer and closer, and the female rider at the head did not expect that there was still a human standing in the middle of the road, and hurriedly turned the horse's head and shouted at the same time: "Get out of the way, danger!" ”

"I don't think so."

Chen Longshi flicked his spear and stepped on Gangdou to meet it, and the spear drew a dazzling half-moon slash like a hook. The immortal swordsman at the head raised his sword to parry, and with a crisp "clang", the swordsman was vigorously knocked out and flew out, knocking several heads behind him into a rolling gourd.

The rest of the immortal sword attendants ignored their companions and continued to raise their weapons and slash at him.

Chen Longshi tried his best, and every blow contained great strength, as long as he bumped into the monster, he would inevitably fly out, either broken or broken. It's just that these undead monsters are more stubborn than expected, and they have a lot of fighting intelligence.

Because he is not afraid of death, he is very brave in battle, and the fighting style is usually to exchange injuries for injuries, and if you are not careful, you may leave your life here.

Fortunately, they are all within the range of Chen Longshi's bearing.

He attached his telekinesis to the spear, and he was invincible.

Even if there are a large number of undead monsters, he has [Instant Step] to maneuver.

By chance, when I performed [Instantaneous Step], I changed to the direction of the stepping step, and I found that it had a miraculous effect.

The Black Iron Level Star Skill [Gangdou Step] is also a melee step, and of course it is not as sensitive as the Bronze-level [Instant Step].

But this kind of step, he found some mystery at the beginning of contact.

In ancient times, "Gang" originally referred to a star on the tail of the Big Dipper. "Dou" is the Beidou, and later expanded the scope, and now refers to the five stars in the southeast, northwest, and northwest. The mage should fake the ten-foot-sized land, lay the gang sheet that symbolizes the ninefold heaven, wear cloud shoes on his feet, and in a melodious Taoist song, think about the nine heavens, according to the image of the fighting house, the nine palaces and gossip diagrams, and agree that in this way, the gods can fly for nine days and deliver the chapter. Ban ghosts and gods, break the ground and summon thunder.

Therefore, Bugang and Doudou are all basic skills rooted in it, and they are also the most basic physical movements of the mage.

Now that the two are applied together, there is a bit more subtlety in the pace, making the originally instantaneous pace more elusive. Combined with the slashing and stabbing of the big killing move, he actually blocked more than a dozen undead monsters with the power of one person.

Several horsemen in front of them were stunned and grabbed the reins of their horses, and when they looked back, the fierce battle in the field made them can't help but show surprise.

"Princess, let's go quickly. These are only sword guard levels, and the undead generals will arrive soon, and he won't be able to hold out for long. ”

"yes, let's go, leave him alone."

The woman who was called the princess hesitated slightly, immediately turned the horse's head, raised her long sword and shouted: "Soldiers, kill with me, and fight quickly." ”

The woman was very good at riding, and the sword in her hand was also extremely sharp, and with the help of the power of the collision, she knocked an immortal sword squire into half of it. The other knights were helpless, but they couldn't let the princess fight alone, and they all returned to kill a wave of horse guns, completely breaking up the group of immortal swordsmen.

Chen Longshi took the opportunity to exert his strength, and the [Star and Moon Chain Slash] slashed out three starry slashes in a row, cutting off the head of the immortal swordsman. But the dark armored body of the immortal sword servant still continued to swing his sword at him, but the movement was extremely slow.

The princess's horse raised its front hooves high, and the iron hooves smashed a skull wearing a rusty helmet, and the soul fire in the eye socket of the undead monster was finally extinguished, and the body fell to the ground. She stretched out her hand to Chen Longshi on horseback and shouted, "Come up, these ghosts can't be killed, and they will be resurrected again after a while!" ”

"Really?"

Chen Longshi was a little unconvinced, and rushed up to mend the knife one by one. He opened his left palm and sucked it into his head, and the soul fire was quickly extinguished. I don't know when the undead swordsmen who were broken up never got up again.

+255 Soul Food

Soul Food +260

Soul Food +213

……

Compared with the red trolls in the outside world, the soul power is even more powerful, and as the reminders of the increase in "soul food" come one after another, the dry bones of those "dead" undead swordsmen quickly decayed, and when the wind blew, they suddenly turned into smoke and dust in the sky and disappeared.

The princess's eyes were full of surprise: "Thank you for helping us, but how did you do it?" This group of undead swordsmen has turned to ashes, are they really dead? Who are you? What are you doing here? ”

"Under Chen Longshi, he is just a demon exterminator. I heard about the evil cholera here, so I came to check it out. Chen Longshi said lightly: "The badge on Your Excellency's armor is a nine-headed bird, I don't know what it has to do with the old Chu?" ”

"Demon Slayer...... Sir, I'm sorry I was rude. The princess jumped off the horse, lifted her helmet to reveal her delicate face, and said, "I am Zhijiang, and the nine-headed bird is the family crest." Your Excellency just said that the old Chu, could it be the former Chu people? ”

Sure enough, it was her, the last royal bloodline of the former Chu State, and she also vowed to suppress the existence of the cemetery of the former king. According to the last words of the ancestors of the Chu royal family, if the tomb of the immortal king is not eradicated for a day, the soul of the entire royal bloodline will not be able to enter the place of reincarnation for a day.

Chen Longshi made a look of surprise: "I am a citizen of Chu State, and I have been cultivating in the deep mountains before, although the hometown of Chu has changed heaven and earth, but my heart is still tied to my hometown. Wait, the nine-headed bird is your family crest? Do you mean you are the princess of Chu? ”

"There is no princess left, and I am the only one left in the Hydra family now." Zhijiang laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Your Excellency the Demon Slayer......"

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please call me by my name directly, or simply call me Dragon."

"Mr. Chen Longshi, this is not a place to talk. Would you like to come back to the city with me to avoid the night? Zhijiang also had some doubts and wanted to ask Mr. ”

"I don't dare to ask for it."

Chen Longshi sat behind a young knight, and everyone galloped into the darkness quickly. It didn't take long to see a fortified castle deep in the mountains, with bright lights and arrow towers. Every guard's face was very nervous about the darkness, for fear that if one of them was not careful, a monster would rush out of the darkness to choose someone to devour.

"The princess is back, open the door."

With a long shout, the drawbridge was lowered, and the riders rushed in.
