Chapter 439: The King in Yellow
Su Luo's stand-in "Golden Compass" is the highest level of causal law interference even in the stand-in ability system, as long as Su Luo wants to know the location of something, it can be directly displayed for her. Although it does not have direct combat power, it works wonders in terms of support.
Guided by the golden compass, the two travel through the intricate corridors of the temple, Kalksa, the Lost City. The terrain descended, and at first there were traces of humanoid survival, but as the siblings progressed deeper, the candlelight used for lighting became sparse and dimmed, and finally went dark. If it weren't for the two of them who were able to use the phosphorescent vision on the wall, they would probably be completely lost here.
Even the yellow-robed priests who lived here did not dare to descend into the deepest part of the ruins, and even if they worshipped the mysterious and ancient yellow-robed king, these deformed servants would never dare to trespass into the king's abode.
"Air ...... Why is it still flowing? ”
Su Jing originally thought that as he went deeper, the air should become more and more dull. But the deeper you go down into the temple, the fresher the air becomes, and a faint cool breeze blows in the dark corridors.
"The temperature is stable at around minus 60 degrees Celsius." Su Luo held Su Jing's hand tightly, and both of them had the same cold and soft hands. Through the cycle of guò true qi, the two locked up the residual stimulant and released it little by little, so that the body was in a high-performance state for a long time.
The speed of the air suddenly increased, and they saw the King in Yellow.
Yellow silk flutters in the air. It's like some kind of creature, a flying ribbon, or something that looks like a ribbon, is propelled by the air. Stretched out from the obsidian throne, it swirled through the air like hundreds of tendrils that were extremely agile. And the humanoids on the throne. The whole body is wrapped in a yellow robe, and there is only a white expressionless mask on his face. I can't see my body, I can only see the ubiquitous yellow streamers and strips of cloth...... Or something like that......
"These things are alive." Su Jing's eyes swept over these yellow streamers, and a piece of silk more than ten meters long flew in front of the two, and then coiled over. Su Jing pressed it with his palm without care, and the slippery and cold ribbon wrapped around his palm.
"I'll just take it as a handshake."
Su Jing's fingertips were full of energy, and the authentic Taoist Gang Qi bloomed thunderously, tearing open the package of the ribbon. The silks seemed to be extremely restorative, and they quickly shrank back.
[On the ground.] 】
Su Luo reminded with a sense of thought. Su Jing glanced at it, and there was a huge emblem on the ground in this small underground square. This emblem had been seen many times above, and the evil emblem of the King in Yellow was like a three-tentacle that stretched out radioactively, twisted and disturbing.
【…… Is he asleep? 】
【…… Not so sure. 】
The streamers seemed to float in the air spontaneously, and the humanoid wrapped in a yellow robe supported its face with its arms on it, sat motionless on the throne, as if sleeping in eternal dormancy. Two sculpture-like objects hovered in front of him, the fragments of the artifact that the two had been searching for for a long time.
One is a thumb-sized red polyhedral gemstone. The other is a gold-colored skull sculpture. But the size of a tennis ball, it seems to have the face of a unicorn. Su Jing rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not mistaken, the unicorn's face seemed familiar. It gave him a ridiculous sense of familiarity.
After watching it for a long time, he suddenly laughed silently, and his shoulders trembled wildly with laughter. It's as if you've seen the most ridiculous thing in the world. But suddenly, he pressed his sister's slender shoulder. In the exchange of thoughts and feelings, he said firmly:
We're going to get it. 】
"Of course. 】
The next second, the two of them walked out of the corridor with unison and jumping steps. Yellow ribbons dance unconsciously in the space. It is impossible for an adult to travel through the past without touching any ribbon, but it is difficult to say that a teenager and girl who is twelve years old and has not yet begun to develop rapidly.
The two have the same mind, and the angle of sight makes up for each other, like two shadows shuttling through the silk dance. The soft body is keenly contracted and bent through gaps that seem impossible to cross, acrobatics softer than silk, spinning, jumping, shuttling, handstands, one-legged spinning and borrowing...... didn't use any martial arts, just relied on his superior physical qualities and quick reflexes to come to the king of yellow clothes.
In an instant, Su Jing held the unicorn sculpture, Su Luo held the ruby, and the two turned around at the same time, but the yellow silk had already formed an airtight wall behind them.
“…… Steal. ”
A hoarse and low voice came from under the mask, and the man under the yellow satin stretched out his palm, or what looked like a palm. Pale yellow silk flew out from the fingertips, and flew towards Su Jing and Su Luo in two bundles, both of them turned over and kicked at the same time, and the black and blue qi exploded at the same time, colliding with the soft silk. The Heavenly Demon True Qi and the Tai Chi True Qi were connected to the silk, the former corroded the silk, and the latter used a soft force to break it.
The King of the Yellow Coat, the embodiment of the evil god, straightened up from his throne. The movements are soothing, like the embodiment of something unspeakable coming out of a nightmare. The moment they saw it, Su Jing and Su Luo didn't feel fear, but their hearts were filled with awe.
In just a moment, the feeling quickly receded. This is the reverence of the mortal nature of the remnants of the two zài against the divinity that resides in the human body. In front of him, there is an ancient dark wisdom that has been preserved for hundreds of millions of years, which is a shadow of some higher order of existence, a higher dimension descending on this world. A shadow may be able to drive mortals crazy, but it can't panic Su Jing and Su Luo, who were once equally great. What made their minds fluctuate slightly was their overly sensitive senses, and from this shadow, they could glimpse the evil god at the bottom of Lake Harry, and even higher above, the concept of the origin of Hasta, which was entrenched in the higher dimensions.
Su Jing and Su Luo knew that they might be able to defeat this avatar. Even after retrieving some of your strength, you can try to fight against the evil god in the lake. But even if the two of them tore the sleeping evil in the lake to shreds, the Hasta Origin in the higher dimensions would only lose a small trace of power.
"To completely destroy it, you need at least gold-level strength." Su Luo whispered.
"Before you turn around and run, you might as well talk to it." Su Jing put the golden statue in the pocket of his jacket.
"Are you a thief, an assassin of an enemy country? Or the Astral Wanderer? Without waiting for the two to answer, the yellow-robed king sighed hoarsely and replied to himself: "A hundred years of life, chasing things outside the body, is not much different from the earth gray puppet. However, there are many unscrupulous people competing for the Astral Beacon, which is really ridiculous......"
Yellow silk curled and wrapped around the two.
"It is inevitable that those who invade the Outer Heaven Divine Palace will be guilty of death. And the widow shall punish you with all your flesh and bones to ashes, and there will be no bones left......"
"Interesting." Su Jing stepped forward and reached out to the mask of the King in Yellow, "Forget about the capital crime, but I'm very interested in the true face under your mask." You don't mind letting us grass people meet Tianyan, right? ”
The Heavenly Demon True Qi in Su Luo's whole body has begun to agitate like a tide, rebuilding his revised Heavenly Demon Skill, although the skill is still shallow, but it has been able to absorb the enemy's flesh and bones, which can be described as the world's first-class fast-growing superior divine skill. With just a circle of hands, the Heavenly Demon Golden Sword was ready to fly, and it could fly within a hundred steps at any time.
"Presumptuous!" Hundreds of yellow silks suddenly erupted on the body of the king in yellow clothes, and they quickly rolled towards Su Jing's body. In a breath, the dense yellow ribbon had already tightly bound the young man's limbs, and the strong force burst out from the ribbon, tightening it a little bit, and it was going to strangle the young man with these ribbons alone.
"It's just a mortal body parasitized by the consciousness of the evil god, pretending!" Su Jing shouted violently, and the bracelets on his wrists and ankles burst out at the same time, instantly burning the silk that was constantly wrapping, and with a flying kick, he hit the silver mask of the king in yellow. The mask seemed to be made of metal, and it flew out with a thud, revealing its true face beneath the mask.
"Tut-tut." The boy smiled with a winn, and under that mask was the deformed face of a half-human and half-god. Like the legendary god of the sea, Cthulhu, the wrinkled head and small, vicious eyes can vaguely discern the human features that have degenerated without a trace, and the mouth has completely turned into a dense and tangled tentacle.
"Whew, I kind of understand how these guys manipulate the world."
Su Jing reflexively kicked the king of yellow who was still sitting on the chair, and his feet after the electric strength were strengthened, using the light footwork in the Seven Strategies of the Three-point Demon Swing, breaking through the barrier of seventeen or eighteen heavy silks, and kicking the soft and tangled tentacles from it, sending the entire fluttering body into the sky.
"Hasta, bring your consciousness down on your own believers. Like this guy, maybe he was the head of the priesthood seven hundred years ago, or maybe he had to change every once in a while...... It absorbs the memories, personalities, desires, ambitions, and wisdom of these magicians...... Well, it doesn't seem to be very intelligent. That's why we have to look like human beings, and this is the 'human mimicry' of the evil gods. In this way, the magician community is able to influence the incarnation's style through their own personality. ”
For 700 years, the true evil gods have been asleep, and only these incarnations of the gods who have been skillfully personified have walked in the world. In the end, it was the priests who summoned evil gods who took the power of the world in their hands.
"Damn...... It's a bit strong. Su Luo tore the yellow silk like a mowing grass, but these snake-like and cunning silks fluttered lightly and forcelessly, and quickly and entangled with sharp edges, twisted with strange force, and killed endlessly. With Su Luo's ability, I also feel a little tricky.
"I have an idea!" Su Jing attacked the body of the King of Yellow Clothes, the latter's body was unexpectedly tough, and the counterattack with the ribbon was extremely fast, gradually forcing Su Jing out of the three meters. Without hesitation, the boy flew back, his lips squirming rapidly, and began to recite a mantra that had already been memorized:
Summon Nyara Totip. (To be continued......)
