Chapter 157: A Chance Encounter
A day later.
Guo Xiaoshi finally walked out of the cave, and his body and spirit were all restored to their best state.
Stretching his waist, Guo Xiaoshi quickly opened his senses, investigated the surrounding movements, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual, he chose the direction leading to the deeper part of the Burning Ember Mountain and walked slowly.
The Ember Mountains were originally a mountainous landform, but after being burned by the heavenly fire, they became low hills, but the shape of the mountain surface is peculiar and changeable, and all kinds of mountain terrain are intertwined and overlapped with each other, but it seems to be gloomy and strange everywhere.
Guo Xiaoshi walked on a path deep in the mountains, and there was a dead silence around him, and the rocks on both sides blocked out the little light he had, so that he could not see his fingers.
Guo Xiaoshi has been in the Ember Mountains for five days, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of environment, and he even feels very safe in such an environment, because the role that his perception can play is more prominent, making him like a fish in water.
When he walked about half of Dayu, he gradually came to the end of the trail, and the light could already be vaguely seen in front of him, Guo Xiaoshi stopped, exhaled lightly, took out the evil slash and lifted it in his hand, and then walked towards the exit.
"This is where the first flame fell......
Walking to the end, what he saw in front of him was a huge circular pit, Guo Xiaoshi stood on the top of the mountain rock and looked down, and the whole pit in front of him was as if it had been hit by a meteorite, roughly in a circle. It's just that this circle is really a bit big, at least hundreds of kilometers in diameter, and he stands on the rocky mountain, like invisible dust, incomparably small.
Around the pit, there are all craggy rocks, full of ashes, you can imagine what kind of scene when the "meteorite" fell, it was a scene of the sky collapsing, the sun falling and the stars sinking, and then the fire burned, and it did not go out for thousands of years.
What's even more amazing is that there are as many as three such huge pits in the Burning Ember Mountain, and this one in front of me is the first and smallest one, and there are two more places in the Burning Ember Mountain, which are "the place where the second fire fell" and "the place where the third fire fell".
According to the records, the stumps of the ancient gods were found in these three pits, as well as the remains of several relics of the ancient gods. Therefore, some people deduce that it was not a "meteorite" that fell in the three pits that fell back then, but an ancient god.
Since it was the ancient gods themselves who fell into the Burning Ember Mountain, there may be other "gods" in the pit, which is why the Burning Ember Mountain is marked with a key mark on the data.
Of course, the Burning Ember Mountain is attractive to them, the people from the Dayu Empire, and it is also attractive to the other four alien races, and this may be regarded as a very important main battlefield in the Dusk Battlefield, and the danger level in the data is also extremely high.
Guo Xiaoshi looked at the large and small rock crevices in the pit, frowned, and secretly wondered how many alien enemies he would encounter when he entered it...... After a moment's hesitation, he leaped down and burrowed into one of the rock crevices.
Guo Xiaoshi walked unhurriedly, these rock crevices are large and small, the big ones are wider than the highways of the earth, and the small ones are only as narrow as the sheep intestine path, but they are not straight, they are interconnected with each other, and there are many forks.
Guo Xiaoshi identified the direction of the bottom of the pit and kept walking through these large and small rock crevices...... Half a day later, he encounters his first enemy in the pit, a Twilight Devourer......
Half a month later.
Ember Mountain, the place where the second flame fell.
Guo Xiaoshi cut out a round crystal bead the size of a ping-pong ball from the corpse of an eight-legged thousand-throated head and put it into the space bracelet, and then left extremely quickly.
During this period of time, he has been wandering in the Burning Ember Mountain, from the place where the first flame fell to the place where the second fire fell, he didn't have enough good luck to meet any "god body", but he encountered no less than twenty battles large and small, and the only benefit of the fight of nine deaths and a lifetime is to let him grow up quickly, not to mention the analysis of the rules, and the temperament of the whole person has also changed.
If he was an unsheathed blade when he first advanced to transcendence, now he has managed to rein in his sharpness.
He ran forward, his steps light, each step as if he were stepping on a peculiar rhythm, and anyone who saw him from the side would be amazed at how much he was able to blend in with his surroundings in such a way that it was difficult to notice.
After running away for a long distance, Guo Xiaoshi finally found a slightly safe place to stop, and then took out the round crystal bead that he got from the eight-legged Qianhu and checked it.
The reason why the eight-legged thousand throats have the two abilities of "war cry" and "magic language" is because they are born with a "soul crystal" in their body, and this "soul crystal" will continue to increase as their cultivation improves, so the higher the cultivation level of the eight-legged thousand throats, the bigger the "soul crystal".
"Soul crystal" is extremely valuable in the Dayu Empire, and it is a very important raw material for making weapons, and many inscription arrays related to the soul can be used in it, such as the inscription equipment used to protect the soul, or the inscription equipment used to attack the soul.
When he met the thousand-throated admiral before, Guo Xiaoshi had the idea of taking the "soul crystal" in his heart, you must know that the "soul crystal" of the thousand-throated admiral is more valuable than the ordinary eight-legged thousand-throat, but unfortunately because of the arrival of the other eight-legged thousand-throat, he could only give up and leave.
It wasn't until today that he finally met an eight-legged thousand-throat head and got a "soul crystal" as he wished.
Guo Xiaoshi stretched out his perceptual tentacles slightly to touch the "soul crystal", but it was only a slight touch, and he stopped, because he found that the "soul crystal" contained a lot of negative emotions, which could actually infect his mind in turn, and it seemed that this "soul crystal" could only be used to make weapons.
Throwing the round crystal beads back into the space bracelet, Guo Xiaoshi stood up again and continued to move towards the bottom of the pit.
Although I couldn't find any "god body" along the way, at the bottom of the pit body, there was a large amount of killing aura full of the power of rules, which should be something left over from the ancient gods, and it was very beneficial to improve cultivation in it, so Guo Xiaoshi's goal was the bottom of the pit body.
As he was walking, he was about to turn from a small path into a larger fork in the road, when suddenly—
Guo Xiaoshi's heart moved, his body reacted very quickly, and he wanted to shrink to the side, but his body only moved slightly, so he forcibly held it back, and then just kept his original posture, standing motionless.
Although Guo Xiaoshi was standing in the middle of the path, the surrounding environment was dim and difficult to discern, and his whole person and the surrounding night were completely integrated at this moment, if he hadn't walked in front of him and looked carefully, it seemed that he didn't exist at all.
After a while, at the fork in the road ahead, I saw a group of people walking very quickly. They all walked silently, and very quickly, like ghosts, and in the blink of an eye, the procession of dozens of people had all passed.
Guo Xiaoshi squinted his face slightly, not letting the light in his eyes leak in the slightest. He waited quietly for a long time, and when the group had passed for a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.
"How did they end up here? All the priests are gathered together, this is not easy......" Guo Xiaoshi thought secretly in his heart.
The group of people who passed by just now were all the priests of the Three Temples, as well as a dozen or so people from the Temple Legion. He felt a little strange when he was in the Broken God Pool before, why didn't a single priest see it, but he didn't expect them all to gather together and appear here.
Such a mysterious gathering was obviously arranged in advance, so it is not difficult to guess that their group seems to be doing something secret.
The thought turned so quickly, and the curiosity in my heart suddenly came out uncontrollably, just like a weed growing wildly, and I couldn't hold it down. Guo Xiaoshi turned his gaze and swept in the direction where the priests had left, and then after a little groaning, he finally turned around and followed over there.
