Chapter Twenty-Three: The Soul of the Lord
After the desert legion entered the crater, it never went smoothly. Almost eighty percent of its living forces die on the long staircase. The magic flower on the staircase seemed to have terrifying magical powers, and many members of the Desert Legion couldn't resist the temptation to eat it, and it didn't take long for them to fall into madness and die in the infighting. Only a few hundred poisoned sandmen, the so-called Green Poison Warriors, did not suffer losses.
"My lord, the role of the horn is getting weaker and weaker, and I don't know if it will work down there." The man in the black visor said.
Adjutant Jiang rest assured that this horn originally came from the ground and had mysterious and powerful power. As long as it's there, we'll be safe all the way. The reason why the warrior who was poisoned by eating the magic flower by mistake was not controlled by the horn was because he had not had time to adapt to its strength. ”
The leader of the Desert Legion has been unusually calm since entering the crater. Even the legions, having suffered huge losses, did not show their irritability on the ground.
Although his face was concealed by black visor, he could still see the deep worry in Adjutant Jiang's eyes. The soldiers who died in the chaos were originally his direct subordinates. From the very beginning, the reason why Adjutant Chiang was willing to give up all his power was actually to make some kind of deal. At the moment, his power is almost exhausted, and he worries about whether he still has a significant say in the transaction.
"I know the worries in your heart. However, I, the Dark Devil, assure you that even if you and I are the only ones left, our deal will still work. "The leader of the Desert Legion, the leader of the 'evil ghost' who calls himself a black devil, put down his posture for the first time and nodded to Adjutant Jiang to give assurance.
After receiving the black devil's assurance, Adjutant Jiang's worries did not diminish at all, but he did not dare to show it again on his face. Because he knew the true identity of the Dark Devil, the fear that came from the bottom of his heart had been with him since he started trading.
"Jiang shouldn't be suspicious of adults." Adjutant Jiang bowed his head towards the black devil and said apologetically.
"You don't know how terrible this underground world is, we must work together." Despite the Dark Devil's best efforts to maintain a gentle attitude, the corpse-like face always had a demonic smile that made people shudder.
"We're at the end." At this time, suddenly a forward fighter reported.
"What the hell?" The 'smile' on the black devil's face suddenly disappeared, and it was replaced by a thoughtful expression.
Also in the crater.
The five of them have been diving down in a floating state, and although they have not encountered any danger along the way, no one dares to let down their vigilance. Trained warriors understand that the unknown itself is a mortal threat.
"Unbelievable, why haven't we seen those diggers along the way?" Golden-eye's left eye glittered with gold, but she didn't see any useful information.
"I've been searching for life, but I haven't found any traces of life. Don't...... Are they all dead? The steel ghost's eyes were also full of doubt.
"It's not that simple. However, this is not a good sign. Since we didn't find them, they were naturally even less likely to find us. In this way, conflicts can be avoided and our strength can be preserved before the last moment. "It is not for nothing that the Great Serpent was able to become the leader of the martyrs and stand out in battle after battle. The leader always thinks from a different perspective than his subordinates, and is always one step ahead.
Everyone was silent when they heard this, and they were all on guard, only the steel ghost's eyes flashed with an incomprehensible light.
Comparatively speaking, the progress of the Men in Black team was much smoother, and they seemed to know the Great Pit better than the other two forces. Under the guidance of the Sky Hunters, the team of the Men in Black used some kind of secret elixir, which could not only resist the temptation of the magic flower, but also suppress the invasion of the illusion. So far, there have been no casualties.
"Stan, from now on, you are to recite the mantra given by the elders at all times." The Sky Hunter commanded a masked man behind him.
"Yes." The masked man carried out the order without hesitation, and then a melodious song echoed in the ranks of the men in black, as if exuding mysterious power, protecting the procession.
Underground Ice World.
The beaver sat cross-legged in the snow, the bare part of his body in total darkness, and his mouth kept reciting obscure scriptures. The golden light around him changed into a black mask. This black light mask was more powerful than the previous golden light, and those constant ice beasts were like ice cubes that had fallen into a pot of oil, melting in an instant.
Lu Qing's situation is not optimistic, after entering the dry poplar forest, it is like a ghost hitting a wall, and he completely loses his direction. Although he did not encounter any danger, the sense of urgency in his heart was extremely suppressive.
What Lu Qing didn't expect was that since he entered the poplar forest, above the dark clouds in the sky above his head, there were a pair of huge eyes like the sun, staring at his every move at all times.
The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. After wandering around the poplar forest for a long time, Lu Qing finally found a way. Following this road, he came to a village. Surrounded by snow and poplar forests, the village is like a paradise. The village is oval-shaped, with buildings scattered and brightly colored, and the villagers live in it leisurely.
The architecture of the village and the dress of the villagers reveal a strong Tibetan style in China. Lu Qing secretly thought in his heart, is this really a Tibetan village? How is this possible, though?
Lu Qing cautiously patrolled the village, and the villagers realized that the invasion of outsiders had avoided it, and they seemed to be very afraid of Lu Qing.
"How did you get here?" Just when Lu Qing was at a loss, a calm woman's voice suddenly came from behind him.
Lu Qing turned around and saw a middle-aged woman dressed in Tibetan costumes, the woman's face was dark, but she showed the beauty of health. At the same time, its bright eyes can be seen to be capable and strong.
Lu Qing recalled the mantra that the woman had just recited, which seemed to be a heart mantra. If the memory is correct, it is the mantra of Vajrapani, and reciting this mantra will subdue demons and remove obstacles and avoid danger. This proves that this is probably really a Tibetan village.
Vajrapani is widely believed in the snowy plateau and is regarded as one of the three lords in the hearts of the Tibetan people. The three main lords of the plateau are Vajrapani Bodhisattva (with the sacred mountain of Xiano Dorjee as the dojo), Guanyin Bodhisattva representing compassion (with the sacred mountain of Xiannai Ri as the dojo), and Manjushri Bodhisattva representing wisdom (with the sacred mountain of Yangmaiyong as the dojo).
Why did you come to such a place when you traveled through the earth by yourself? What does all this have to do with the Pisces Jade Pendant and the secret behind the door? The doubts in Lu Qing's heart were like a dark cloud overhead, thick and blurry.
At this time, the eyes above the dark clouds left a line of tears, and suddenly the snow fell between the sky and the earth, as if mixed with endless sadness.
