Chapter 220: The bones of the snake are revealed
The sound of the fierce battle behind us became smaller and smaller, and we had gradually moved away from the Ice Cave of the Nine Turns of Chilling Cicada, and at the same time, we were also far away from the Heavenly Ice Gu King who suddenly and mysteriously appeared to help us.
I followed the team and went to see Ma Xiong. He still looked calm and unremarkable. But I think he should still be a little worried and unwilling in his heart, after all, that is his direct ancestor and a legendary figure in the clan. It's hard to see him, but there is no chance to help him fight side by side......
The purple mark in the palm of his left hand flickered again, hot and hot. I looked down and saw that the purple dragon-shaped light mist was rising around it, changing into a purple dragon shape more than a foot long, and flew towards the end of the passage with a bang.
When everyone saw this, they were all excited, knowing that they might be close to our goal!
I have also basically figured out the pattern, and the purple mark on the palm of my left hand is indeed closely related to the existence of this demon. It's just that it seems to appear every once in a while, and then launch an attack on the demonic existence hidden in the depths of this sinkhole. That is, with the help of each attack, we are able to determine its location.
This time, almost a few seconds later, a human-like roar of pain was heard!
It's close!
Ma Xiong told everyone: "It's coming soon, get ready for it." In addition to the demonic existence itself, there must be many demons of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect here. ”
I took a deep breath and felt a little nervous. Unexpectedly, we actually arrived at this place called the "Cave of Flying Immortals" among the physiognomy masters of the mountain lineage! It's just that in the face of the demonic existence that makes the remnants of Emperor Donghua's soul a little jealous, can we hold it back and wait for my father-in-law Hong Tianjun to come here to destroy it together?
As we got closer, the straight passage in front of us had become very open, and the space stretched out in all directions, and a huge and shocking cavern began to gradually reveal itself before our eyes......
Ma Xiong made a gesture for us to disperse into two groups, and groped our way forward against the walls of the cave on both sides. For we had seen the fire flickering in the huge cavern ahead. Obviously, someone burned in this cave, and those demons of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect should have already reached their destination.
Finally, we reached the end of this passage, and a huge cavern appeared in front of us in this dark and gloomy underground world!
The whole cave is very irregular, and it is a huge cavity in the underground rock formation. The height of the cave is at least more than 100 meters, as high as dozens of floors, and it is surrounded by rough and primitive rock cave walls, with a rugged shape, exuding an ancient and primitive wilderness atmosphere......
And what really kept our whole being in a state of stupor, was the thing in the very center of this huge rock cavern, that behemoth!
That's what the legend says...... Beast Ba Snake !!
It was a huge unimaginable python, with its body coiled, and I don't know how much it coiled around and around. It is more than 20 meters high. At the top is a giant snake head that looks like a big truck in the east wind, with four hard horns on it, which is extremely shocking. The eyes are actually closed, which is obviously different from ordinary snakes.
A snake head is like a big truck! This...... Such a huge existence, to describe it as a behemoth, may be a bit of a word.
According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the Sea": "In the southwest, there is the country of Ba and the country of Zhujuan, with black snakes, green heads, and elephants. ”
The corpse of the snake we see now is indeed a whole body of black scale armor, flashing with bursts of metal-like luster, and more than seven inches showing a strange cyan color, which is consistent with the record of the "Shanghai Classic"! While thoroughly confirming the authenticity of the bones of the snake, it also shows that in the ancient times of China, there was really such a terrifying giant beast on the earth!
Countless Chinese tribal leaders and sages led the Chinese ancestors who came out of the flood to fight against them! Just thinking about it makes me feel a little passionate and incredible. Such a terrifying beast also has many magical abilities, even with modern technology, it is extremely difficult to fight. In that era when technology was not at all and the magic of Xuanmen had not yet been perfected, how did the Chinese ancestors fight against these terrifying beasts?
The snake has a huge head on top of it...... Something seems to be there!
As soon as we entered the place, we were struck by the sheer size of the snake and attracted all our attention, but after the initial surprise had passed, we hid in the shadow of the entrance and observed, and I immediately noticed that there seemed to be something on top of the snake's huge head.
It seems to be a figure!
The figure stood straight in the center of the snake's head, looking a little unusual. Because he seems to be much shorter than the average person, but he is much more lenient, as if he were obese. At the same time, some strange gray-white nets extended from his body, covering the four sharp horns of the snake, which was very weird.
It is impossible for there to be a person on the head of the snake for no reason, and it does not seem to be a living person......
So there is only one possibility, and that is the goal of our trip! In the past few hundred years, the corpses in Xiangxi have been eroded by some strange means and want to control them, and the demons exist!
I felt like I could hear my own heart beating, and my mouth was a little dry and nervous. Not only was I nervous, but I also felt that the golden snake next to me was trembling slightly, I don't know if I was scared or excited, I think the latter is more likely.
In addition to the fact that we have already issued what is likely to be the target of this trip, there are also a large number of strange arrangements in other places in this cave, which at first glance are the means of Xuanmen magic.
For example, with the huge body of the Ba snake as the center of the circle, the ground surrounding it is engraved with the shape of a strange Bagua Taiji diagram. The reason why it is strange is that the "yin and yang fish" in these Bagua Taiji graphics have become two hideous long-horned snakes in a ring shape that bite each other's tails!!
It looks a bit like a snake, which is obviously a deliberate tampering with the important symbols of Taoism in some way, but I don't know what kind of effect this will have, so far I can only see that these marks are also exuding bursts of ghostly light, a little eerie and infiltrating.
And from the position we are here, we can see that on the steep rock wall of this huge cave, there are skeletons and white bones, distributed according to a certain pattern. They were all leaning down slightly, facing the snake, their waists down in the rocks, their hands clasped together in their chests, and a lamp made of rusty bronze in their hands. The lamps were still burning, and I could already smell the thick smell of corpses that did not look like a human, and it was clearly the grease made from the corpse of something strange.
I think that these skeletons and white bones should be the entourage who followed the prince of the Yuan Dynasty into this place at the beginning, but they were all brutally pitted by the evil earth master who was the staff of the strategist, and all of them were used as burials, becoming materials for some kind of evil formation.
This earth master is indeed very skillful, and he actually arranged his own formation into the entire huge cave, and after such a few hundred years, it may have a subversive impact on the entire China! He must be stopped as soon as possible, and what the predecessors of the Donghua Emperor are worried about must not be allowed to happen.
I was just about to walk towards Ma Xiong, who was on the other side of the passage, when I saw a strange sound, as if something was crawling on a rock.
Ma Xiong immediately made a silent gesture, and at the same time used gestures to make us be more careful, not to be impulsive, and to wait and see.
As the object crawled and rubbed louder, there was a hissing sound, like the hissing of a snake.
Could it be that there are a lot of snakes again?!
My heart jumped, and I saw by the firelight around me the pythons crawling down the rocky cliffs, and at the seven inches of these huge pythons was a ring-like thing made of bronze metal. A soft rope protrudes from the collar, and it is held in the hands of a strangely dressed man sitting on the back of the python!
Some of the men who sat on the back of the python were dressed in black robes with wide hoods on their heads, and their faces were hidden under the black robes, while others were dressed in white robes, which were the same as the other black-robed men except for the color. They seem to be members of the Cult of All Souls.
And in addition to this strange dress of black and white, there are also some people wearing onmyoji costumes, who are obviously the Japanese onmyoji in the alliance of these evil forces. The person who was wearing nothing on his body, shirtless, and tattooed with all kinds of strange graphics was a sorcerer from the South Seas.
Sure enough, it's a tripartite alliance! And they have sent so many people from Beijing to come over, obviously they also attach great importance to this place.
It can be said that the victory or defeat here also determines the victory of the dragon vein competition in Beijing to a large extent, and determines the overall trend of the Chinese nation in the future!
This is a battle of national fortunes and national fortunes!!
Thinking about this, my heart is even heavier. This feeling does not come from nervousness and panic, but from the excitement and wonder of being involved in such a grand historical process......
These members of the Ten Thousand Souls Cult, the Japanese Onmyoji, and the Nanyang Evil Magicians all sat on the huge python and slid down from the high cave wall, all of them silent, only the sound of the great snake crawling and spitting letters under them echoed in this huge dead silence.
Not only did we hold our breath, but we also tried to keep the power in our bodies as dormant as possible, so as not to arouse the vigilance of these guys. But looking at their appearance, almost all their attention was focused on the huge snake in the center of the cave, and they didn't care about the situation around them at all.
I don't know if they don't believe that we can turn things around, or if they believe that the people they sent here are strong enough to be afraid of any attack.
All in all, these pythons slid to the ground with the evil combined forces, and the people riding on the back of the pythons put down the locks in their hands and jumped from the snakes to the ground to stand up. These pythons lowered their eyebrows and lowered their huge snake heads, curled up on the ground, as if they were docile pets.
But if you look closely, you can see a terrifying glint in their eyes. Obviously not a kind thing, I'm afraid that such a big snake the size of a bucket alone is enough for us to do a lot of work.
With so many huge pythons, and they have all changed into zombies, it is very difficult for ordinary people to gather them all, and it is even more difficult to control them directly. Unless it has accumulated for hundreds of years like Jinjiazhai, and it is mainly stained with the light of the mysterious first generation of ancestors, it is all sunk in the deep pond in front of the cottage for protection.
The Humpty Dumpty demon on the skull of this snake was able to control these zombie pythons, and even the strange Gu worms that only existed in the legend of the Nine Turns Chilling Cicada were used by it, plus the corpses that had been eroding the entire Xiangxi region for hundreds of years......
The title of Xiangxi Corpse King should be very suitable for it! Moreover, it is the only one that can afford to be called.
Xiangxi Corpse King! The king of all the dead. It was created through the bones of the snake and this strange so-called "Flying Immortal's Cave......
The demons who had slid down the cave walls on snakes slowly walked towards the bones of the snakes, as if they were going to gather together for some strange sacrifice.
Seeing this, I have to admire that ginger is still old and spicy!
When Ma Xiong was faced with such a scene, he didn't have a hot mind, so we rushed forward to attack the bones of the snake and the demon on top of his head. Otherwise, wouldn't it just hit someone's gun? As far as we are concerned, not to mention the difference in individual strength, we are much inferior in terms of quantity alone.
After all, we all belong to the "advance force" and rushed here as soon as possible. As the saying goes, just run fast to see if you can pick up the leaks. Of course, if the demon really woke up completely, he would immediately gather all his zombie army and remotely control the powerful ancient corpses at the bottom of the Ten Thousand Corpses Tomb in Jinjiazhai......
Then even if we all risk our lives, we must first kill and fight hard!
The zombie army is not the biggest threat, and even if there really is an existence of the level of the Nine Turning Chilling Cicada, it will not make people feel that there is no chance of victory. The only thing I am most worried about is those old ancestors in the depths of the Jin family's ten thousand corpse graves, once the corpses are completely transformed, we will have to finish the game.
The supernatural power and power of the Quanzhen Sect Patriarch Wang Xuanfu and the Heavenly Master Dao Patriarch Zhang Daoling made me shudder just by imagining it......
But fortunately, on the night that Wang Xuanfu was inspired to enter the Ten Thousand Corpses Tomb, this True Patriarch not only entered the scene he saw about this place in my mind, but also injected a very small part of his own true soul into my body!!
In other words, as long as I am alive, in fact, Wang Xuanfu cannot be regarded as truly dead! At the same time, as long as his soul has not been completely consumed by the new consciousness born from his own corpse, I will be able to have a wonderful and indescribable sense, which means that this demonic thing that can continuously erode and manipulate corpses on a large scale has not completely awakened......
In fact, it stands to reason that my current strength is simply not able to carry a wisp of remnant soul of a peak figure like Wang Xuanfu. Because their Dao Law is all over the sky, it is extremely powerful, even an extremely small wisp of soul is mixed with extremely powerful power, and ordinary people can't afford it at all!
But perhaps because when Wang Xuanfu and Zhang Daoling faced the yin demon on Qingcheng Mountain together, he seemed to have some inexplicable mysterious connections with the yin demon by chance, and even had a similarity in strength.
Therefore, my body was originally "transformed" by my stepfather, Hong Tianjun, Brother Long, and my master, to be able to seal the effect of the Dark Spirit King, and it also happened to be able to contain Wang Xuanfu's current wisp of crippled soul and strength!!
I have to say, this is really the will of heaven in the dark! No one could have imagined that a "cause" planted by chance would produce a great "effect". Everything in the world is entangled with each other, which is the will of God.
If it weren't for the battle entanglement between Wang Xuanfu and the Yin Demon Demon and the Evil Spirit, if it weren't for my stepfather and others who connected me with the Dark Spirit King...... At this moment, we have no way to figure out the current state of the existence of the demon on the bones and skulls of the snake, and we will also be in a very passive situation.
At least I can feel that Wang Xuanfu's true soul still exists, and he should continue to fight against the consciousness that his body was infected and born. This shows that the situation has not yet reached the worst step, and we don't have to go out and fight hard for the time being, we can first respond to all changes with the same to see what the hell they are doing, and at the same time wait for our reinforcements to arrive......
I saw that the demons in front of me from the three forces of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, the Japanese Onmyoji, and the Nanyang Evil Magician had all walked to the vicinity of the bones of the Naba snake at this moment, and stood up according to a strange law.
If you look closely, you can see that the way they are standing is the same as the strange Bagua Tai Chi pattern that we just found surrounding the bones of the snake.
Each of them happened to be standing in the very center of the Tai Chi pattern formed by the intersection of the heads and tails of two hideous pythons, and they just stood there silently, as if waiting for something.
What are they waiting for?
I had some doubts in my heart, but I quickly realized that I was waiting......
Before this thought in my heart could fully emerge, a change occurred in the huge cave in front of me. I saw that from the bones of the Naba snake, there were suddenly bursts of black and blue light mixed with each other, this light was not dazzling, but it was very solid and powerful. As soon as the light appeared, it actually stirred, and the surrounding air spread out in all directions like water waves!
This light appeared, causing the air to condense like water waves, which is really a bit terrifying!
We all watched this scene, holding our breath and not daring to make a move.
As soon as the black-cyan light spread to the surrounding rock walls, a slight sound was heard from the rock walls, as if something was digging with its claws inside the stone walls of this huge cavern, trying to come out of it immediately!!
This...... Are they all corpses?!!!
My heart struck me and I thought of a possibility. The rock walls around here may have been hollowed out, all of them are a large number of corpses attracted by this demonic existence, they are all corpses, and they are all about to turn into zombies!
And as the blue-black light spread, the body of the snake in the center seemed to move slightly, and then, the short and fat man on the snake's head also began to move violently, and then, he slowly opened his eyes.
Although it was far away, it was not clear to see, but at this moment, I didn't know what was going on. I actually saw clearly, and I could see clearly the eyes of the Humpty Dumpty man on the head of the snake.
What a pair of eyes they were! The whole body is dark gold, not like a snake or like a human eye, very weird. In the center of the dark gold, there was a vertical black crack, like a portal to the boundless depths of hell. One glance can be intimidating.
I shook my head desperately, and the palm of my left hand became hot again, and the purple mark began to glow again!
Obviously, I finally confirmed it at this point. This mysterious Dao inheritance mark from the Netherworld has a great relationship with the Humpty Dumpty man on this snake's head!!
They should be attracted and tempted by each other, ready to destroy each other. But now, this mark in my left hand should not have such strength, and it is separated by such a close distance......
The demonic existence on the bones of this snake skull, which can be called the "Xiangxi Corpse King", should be briefly awakened every once in a while, spreading out an evil aura, and continuing to infect and gather the surrounding corpses. They've probably gathered here through the rock formations of this cavern by now! The strange sound that now sounded from inside the rock formation was made by the eroded zombies......
And this strange mark in the palm of my left hand, whenever this Xiangxi Corpse King wakes up, it will awaken by itself to induce it and launch an attack! The two must have a deep connection with each other.
Although judging from the previous two situations, the attack of this purple ring mark on the Xiangxi Corpse King could not make it lock into my position, but this time it was so close that once it launched an attack on the Xiangxi Corpse King on top of the bones of the Ba Snake, it was difficult to guarantee that it would not be discovered!
What to do?!
I was suddenly a little overwhelmed, and my left hand was clenched tightly into a fist and I didn't dare to let go. Because I'm worried that as soon as I let go of my hand, that dazzling purple light will appear, and even if there is no attack on the Xiangxi Corpse King, the demons of those evil forces will also find the flash here. (To be continued.) )
