Chapter 20: Ancient Bloodlines

Just when everyone finished planning and took separate actions, everyone in the countermeasures room was also preparing in an orderly manner.

Isayama Huangquan's expression remained unchanged, just concentrating on communicating with his treasure sword Lion King, using spiritual power to nourish the spirit beasts in it, adjusting the state, and asking Egret Palace Yicheng for some questions by the way, and the others were also in a hurry to make various preparations to deal with the next troubles.

Sakuraba looked around in a trance, wondering if he hadn't woken up yet, and couldn't help but ask Koji Iwabata next to him, "Uncle, is there really a dragon inside?" "He doesn't have such an inhuman physical fitness, so he speaks by shouting loudly so that he won't be blown away by the storm.

Only in this way can others hear the voices of others in the midst of the raging winds.

"It doesn't look like a joke, it should be."

"Then why can they still say so naturally, if there is a dragon, they will go in and kill - is the world crazy?" Sakuraba rode with straight eyes.

"Maybe you're not in good shape lately, come, uncle, give you a little bit of my protein......"

"Hmmβ€”β€”!! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Uncle, go away for me, I'm not going to do it! ”

……

……

Mu Xiu originally thought that there might be a natural cave behind the crack, because it could blow the wind from some even greater abyss in the depths.

But after braving the wind in the dark, entering the cracks, and walking a little longer, he found that things were not so simple. Because what appeared in front of him was a black tunnel, with obvious traces of artificial carving, and the ground under his feet was divided into countless steep downward, very narrow black steps.

It's like it's going down endlessly, into the abyss of the unknown.

Although both sides were solid entities that looked like black iron rather than stone walls, and were not steep abysses, it was also because of this, the wind howling out of such a narrow space was unimaginable, and it had almost become a high-density wall of air pressure.

But since Mu Xiu was going to enter it, he naturally said so with full certainty, and he continued to advance at a rapid speed along the way. Gui Daisy and Gui Xuelu behind him didn't know what he was doing, they only knew that he always kept swinging a knife forward-

The blade slashed into the air, and the timing was extremely accurate, and the whistling wind just sounded and then disappeared abruptly.

Only the air flow that I don't know if it's an illusion is slightly flowing, and basically it can only touch the hair around the ears, which makes people feel that this should be the breeze brought by their own actions.

Only the roar of the wind that never stopped coming from a distance seemed to tell that none of this was an illusion, but I don't know why every time the powerful air pressure wall advanced in front of Mu Xiu, it was completely eliminated by him with a swing of his sword.

Although it feels magical, after accepting this setting, Gui Daisy can logically push everything to the "realm of extraordinary knowledge" with peace of mind. She cautiously followed the young man's footsteps, observed for a long time, and then relaxed.

Then, she finally had the opportunity to look at Gui Xuelu, who was grabbed by her palm and dragged all the way, looking very helpless: "Sister, I said you, obviously you can't even control your body well now, why do you want to come in with you?" ”

"Nonsense, I've been able to control ...... now," Gui Xuelu directly denied, although she was still a little staggering when she walked now, "It's you, Xiaoxiao, why do you have to follow in?" ”

"This ...... This one...... Because I'm the student council president, of course I'm responsible for this situation, so I can't let him in alone! The pink-haired girl suddenly looked a little flustered, and her eyes quickly found a fair reason for herself.

After all, it can't be said to be an excuse, because no matter if anyone else wants to come in, she really can't stand by and watch.

However, Gui Xuelu didn't break it, but just smiled and tightened her sister's palm as a matter of course, and said, "That's it, I'm also a teacher, and I'm still your sister, how could I not come in with me?" ”

That's why she insisted on doing it together.

The girl looked at her sister for a long time, her eyes seemed to think of something, and she was faintly touched, and then she turned her head away and pouted and said, "...... Then take your chances! ”

"Hmph, is Hina shy?"

"Sisterβ€”β€”!!

Maybe it's because this narrow underground passage is too treacherous, people always feel out of breath when they walk in it, and the two of them can only relieve the pressure in their hearts a little in this way, after all, in such an environment, anyone can be forced out of claustrophobia.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Mu Xiu just silently listened to the movement behind him in front, but his footsteps did not stop, he just silently calculated the time for the next wind pressure wall to advance to him, and swung the next sword.

No one but himself noticed that his current state was very wrong. - As fragments of memory continue to emerge, he perceives an inexplicable "resonance" in his body, or should it appear in his soul?

He couldn't be sure anyway.

It was as if the key "puzzle pieces" were missing before, which caused his state to be incomplete, but since Mu Xiu himself was in this mountain, he didn't feel anything about it. Because this is not a broken hand, but a deeper, essential absence of life.

Until now, with the emergence and repair of those fragments, his state has gradually become complete, and the same has also made the state of pure and empty body and mind clearer and clearer. At this time, any slight interference from the outside world could interrupt the process, so he just grabbed the distance all the way and didn't talk much.

But that's okay, he can now sense almost every force in his body in detail, and there is a feeling that even the dust in the air can be perceived and controlled concretely and slightly, and this empty realm is still deepening......

Over time, a peak was finally reached.

It is as if every flesh and blood and every cell of the body has been integrated into the soul and has spirituality. Just as when he practiced the breathing method in the past, he focused on perceiving the breath of all things, and entered into a mysterious and wonderful perception, as natural as blood and breath.

There is free energy in the atmosphere or space, and Mu Xiu only knew such a thing in the past.

But now he can clearly perceive the countless energies between heaven and earth, and further perceive the changes in the density, sparseness, and clarity of these energies.

It was an indescribable feeling, but the body was telling him that the whole world was different.

It seems that up to this point, this hidden ascension is terrifying enough, but Mu Xiu has a kind of realization - there is still a layer of paper, as long as he pierces it, then he will enter a new realm, more acute and more powerful.

However, although it seemed that he could take that step at any time and enter that new realm level as a matter of course, he had another intuition that made him dare not act rashly.

……

……

The wind pressure was still strong, and the frequency seemed to be more violent.

The passage is constantly changing in direction and slope, and the steep steps are not easy to follow and unsafe. Ordinary people can basically only go down as carefully as climbing a ladder, and it is impossible for them to run as fast as Mu Xiu.

I don't know how long it took to advance, but slowly, Gui Daisy felt that her sense of direction and up and down seemed to have been lost, and she only knew to grit her teeth and follow the figure in front of her, being careful not to let herself stumble and fall on the steep steps.

But things like sensuality are difficult to overcome by will, and gradually she can't even tell whether she is running up or down, and she doesn't know how far she has crossed.

When Guidaisy's feet felt the level ground again, time seemed to have stopped completely.

Some unknown underground phosphorescence lit up the void in front of him, and a huge and magnificent boulder passage appeared at the end of the sight, and the space around him finally opened up, and a brighter light illuminated the far end - a huge gap, and a new world glowed with strange light outside.

At this moment, the three of them finally understood what was going on with the crazy storm, which was clearly poured in from the outside!

It wasn't something incomprehensible, but at this moment, even Mu Xiu had a kind of doubt about whether he was insane, because he saw the huge mountain peak opposite, and the "sky" outside the passage......

It was as if they were walking in the belly of a huge mountain, along the dark fork of the cave. After walking for an unknown amount of time, I finally saw the opening at the other end of the cave halfway up the mountain, but I was still in the air.

"β€”is this really underground?"

"Killing" the wind continuously, Mu Xiu first walked to the fault of the "gap", looked outside, and then glimpsed a world full of life but still in the wilderness-

It was as if he was looking out from a cave in the belly of a huge mountain, seeing the peaks that could not be climbed into the clouds, the rivers pouring down from the cliffs to form waterfalls hanging in the air, the lush primitive ecological environment, and the "sky" radiating pale light.

Huge plants with teardrop-like spots swayed in the wind, strange creatures with colorful skin in the wet and slimy mud, and mist and water droplets lingered on the wetlands and swamps......

The mountains are equally rough and majestic, stretching out in a strange pattern until the end of the sky.

This was completely inconsistent with the development of the "evil dragon in the depths of the dungeon" that Mu Xiu had expected, and he was completely stunned for a while, but he was vaguely aware of something. If it were an ordinary person, he might really be confused by such a scene, such as the two of them.

They can barely take their eyes off it, and the shocking feeling is probably far better than the first time they used 3D equipment to experience "Avatar" in later generations.

But Mu Xiu was different, he happened to have some kind of ability to look directly at the absolute essence of everything, so he had also sensed the vitality of that rich and unique ecosystem for a long time, and he couldn't hide a certain heavy and cold aura in the past. It was the breath of death, and he was all too familiar with it.

Besides, the "Lord God" ball of light has not moved so far, and the cold prompt has not sounded.

"Be careful, I suspect this may really be an old tomb......"

After a moment's hesitation, the young man took a deep breath and reminded in a dry voice. The muscles and nerves of his whole body were tense, and he had entered a state of high vigilance.

Mu Xiu's eyes once again flowed like a dreamlike blue light, and the normal scenery in the field of vision had been shattered in an instant, and dead lines emerged.

The overuse of the MONOCULUS along the way had already made his brain feel a feeling of swelling and pain, but now he had to continue to use the MONOCULAR's horizon to indirectly observe the essence of the connection with cause and effect.

β€œβ€¦β€¦οΌοΌβ€

However, in an instant, even though he had already been mentally prepared, Mu Xiu's face immediately changed drastically.

In an instant, there was only a dead silence and eternal darkness in his eyes, and the grandeur of the previously life-rich underworld was instantly torn apart. The "sky" glowed with a blood-red glow, staining everything crimson, and bones everywhere as far as the eye could see.

The endless "death", the "death" of a whole grand mythological era, is a corner of history that has been slowly uncovered in his eyes.

The rugged peaks weren't terrain at all, but the bones of something ancient and unimaginably stabbed into the sky.

The next moment, it was as if the whole world trembled, and the earth cracked and roared.

With the roar of the dragon, a terrifying will came, and it was strange that Mu Xiu suddenly understood the meaning this time-

"Sure enough, it's the breath of ancient blood! Come on! Be the vehicle of my resurrection! ”

It was a crazy will, and the meaning expressed was also a little beginningless, but it didn't prevent Mu Xiu from understanding it instantly.

It turned out that it was because after he slain the dragon...... The cause of bathing in dragon's blood?

In other words, if you don't follow yourself this time, nothing will happen?
