Chapter 411: Desperate Survival
"What chance?" Qiu Changling didn't react for a moment, and asked stupidly.
"Actually, our goal now is nothing more than two points, first, to find the treasure that the black-robed cultivator has been looking for. Second, flee to the ruins. We are now in the middle of death, and the chances of finding the treasure are slim. However, if we can escape from the door of death and wait for the others to follow them as they leave, we should be able to escape and return to the ruins!" Ambush explained softly.
"Then how can we escape from death?" Qin Mo scratched his head and asked puzzled.
"I don't know, the three giant leaders didn't say anything, so we can only take one step at a time. Fu Chao shook his head and said in a deep voice.
Everyone knew that if they wanted to find a way out of the door of death, they would have to start with the leaders of the three Giant Clans, and the only one who could understand the language of the Giant Clan was Ambush. Therefore, everyone had to learn the movements of ambush, hiding in the main hall, checking the movements of the giant clan outside the hall, while waiting for the return of the three leaders of the giant clan.
At this time, seventy-five Giant Clans gathered outside the main hall, and seventy-two Giant Clan subordinates came down to the front of the main hall, knelt down, and bowed to the three leaders. They were respectful and genuinely afraid, as if they were afraid that their prey would not meet the requirements of the three leaders.
Looking at the mountain of fierce beast corpses at the feet of the giant hunters, the three leaders glanced at each other and nodded in satisfaction. Then, Daoa waved his hand lightly at the giants, saying something to the giants in that old language that had long been extinct.
When Dao Ah finished speaking, the group of giants hurriedly retreated to both sides, flashing a path. After that, the three hunters of the Giant Clan each carried the three beasts to Daoa's face. The beasts that the three giants carried to the front of the group were much larger than the others, as if they had been set aside for purpose.
Seeing these three fierce beasts like small mountains, the high priest had a satisfied look on his face. He waved at the three giants, who understood and returned to the group.
The High Priest stepped over to the corpses of the three beasts, took a steel knife four feet long from Daoa, and stabbed each of them into the arteries in the necks of the three beasts. With the action of the high priest, three pillars of blood rose into the sky, and when they rushed to the highest point, they slowly fell again, falling into the three copper tripods that had been placed in advance.
"What are they doing? Do you want to drain the blood from the beast's body before the giant eats?" Qiu Changling asked in a low voice as he watched the High Priest's movements.
"No, they should be doing some kind of ritual. I've heard that some of the ancient races in the mountains would sacrifice the blood or flesh of their prey to their ancestors as a sign of loyalty before eating. Looks like these giants are doing something similar. Ling Yu shook her head and explained softly.
As if to confirm Ling Yu's words, when his words fell, the high priest, Dao'a, and Qianyu walked to the back of the copper tripod and bowed solemnly three times to the copper tripod. Then, the high priest pinched the strange trick with both hands and gently tapped it towards the three giant dings. With his movements, the blood in the ding seemed to be boiled, and there were bursts of blood flowers "goo-goo-goo". The color of the blood became even more dazzling, and the blinding blood glow stained the cheeks of the three leaders, making them look solemn and sacred.
When the High Priest's movements stopped, the blood in the three mouthfuls of the giant tripod had all evaporated in an instant, leaving only a bewitching red light on the inner wall stained red by blood.
It was only after the ritual that the three leaders turned their heads and raised their arms in the void towards the seventy-two giants. Seeing the movements of the three giant leaders, the giants let out a loud cheer. Then, the three leaders who walked into the crowd grabbed the beasts around them and feasted on them.
The movements of the giants were very ferocious, they used the most primitive means to eat, and the corpses of the beasts were bitten and dismembered by them under the gaze of Ling Yu and the others, and in an instant, blood flew away, extremely bloody. Seeing this scene, Gu Caiwei's pretty face turned pale and bloodless. She gently clutched her chest, and did her best to suppress the tumbling in her stomach. Even the well-informed ambush swallowed a mouthful of saliva, don't look away, don't want to look at it again.
Although the beasts piled up in front of the giants were tens of thousands of catties, under the attack of seventy-five giants, they were devoured by them in just two quarters of an hour.
After eating and drinking, Qianyu waved his hand at the giants, and the giants retreated one after another, and the three leaders also patted their bulging stomachs and walked towards the nine-story ancient hall.
When the three leaders walked into the ancient hall, they did not stop, but walked directly to the second floor. Because Ling Yu and the others had concealed their cultivation in a timely manner, the three giants did not discover them.
Soon after the three giants reached the second floor, there was a loud snoring from the second floor. These snoring sounds were like thunder, shaking Ling Yu's scalps and their ears buzzing. If it weren't for the red sun outside the hall slanting in the west and the sky was cloudless, Ling Yu really almost thought that it was a catastrophe caused by some amazing talent.
It wasn't until the three Giant Clan leaders had been snoring for nearly half an hour, making sure that all three of them had fallen asleep, that Ling Yu nodded to everyone behind him. A group of nine crept out from behind cover and flew towards the higher floors.
Originally, Ling Yu planned to climb to the second floor, but the height of the stairs was a bit amazing, if they climbed layer by layer, they would definitely alarm the sleeping three. Therefore, after careful consideration, Ling Yu still took out the magical Wakaki leaf and flew upstairs with the green leaf.
When they flew to the second floor, they found the three chiefs lying on the ground, sleeping soundly. Ling Yu exhaled a breath of turbid air softly, and did not stop, but continued to march towards a higher floor.
Ling Yu carefully navigated the green leaves, avoiding the sound of the stairs and waking up the three giants, while looking at the layout and furnishings of each floor.
The first floor of the nine-story ancient hall is a large hall, which is empty and has no displays. On the second floor are the bedrooms of the three giants leaders, and there is nothing to see. In the center of the third floor is a large rectangular stone table, which appears to be their meeting hall. The fourth and fifth floors were the armory rooms, and these two floors were filled with all kinds of weapons, all of which had in common that they were several times larger than the weapons used by Ling Yu. The sixth floor should be the Scripture Pavilion, which has a total of three rows of bookshelves, which are filled with all kinds of giant books. However, the words written on it were all fonts that Ling Yu and the others had never seen before. On the seventh floor of the ancient hall, there are five stone walls, each of which depicts different scenes. They have a starry sky, fierce beasts, exotic flowers and plants, the development history of the giant clan, and a vague stone wall that has not yet been carved. On the eighth floor, there were nineteen spirit seats, and there were also fonts written on them that Ling Yu and the others did not recognize. And what really surprised Ling Yu was the last layer of the ancient hall.
When everyone walked all the way up to the ninth floor of the ancient hall, they found that there was only one light gate in the ninth floor. The light gate is about eight zhang in diameter and shimmers with a deep blue and black intertwined light. The most amazing thing is that there are no supporting objects around this light gate, as if it appeared out of thin air.
"I know! Desperate life, this is really desperate life!" When he saw the light gate, Fu Chao suddenly showed a look of ecstasy, he pointed at the light gate with his hand, and said incoherently.
"What kind of desperate situation? Old bandit, can you explain it clearly?" Seeing the look of the ambush that was almost out of shape, Ling Yu glanced at him and said disdainfully.
"Xiao Yu, do you remember that I once mentioned to you that there is an ancient road hidden in the ruins, and that ancient road is the node leading to the land of legends, and it is also the only way to return to Huaxia in the ruins. No wonder I couldn't find that treasure and that ancient road when I came to Guiru before, but I didn't expect it to be hidden here. Hahaha, the Gate of Death is a great evil phenomenon among the Eight Gates, and no one can guess that at the end of this dead end, which is avoided by the world, is actually the Gate of Great Fortune full of infinite vitality, what a place of creation, what a shocking handiwork!" Fu Chao rubbed his hands excitedly and said loudly.
"Old bandit, don't you put more gold on your face, okay? You only searched around the Shenxu City last time, and you didn't reach the sea eye at all, let alone enter the door of death. Ling Yu shook his head and dismantled the platform at an inopportune time.
"In any case, the vitality behind this light gate is definitely not illusory, that is, we can not only escape, but also hope to find that treasure!" Fu Chao ignored the sarcasm in Ling Yu's words and continued.
This is true, I used to hear people often say that everything in the world is mutually restrained and interdependent. Now it seems that it is true, otherwise it is extremely Tailai, and death is life. Who would have thought that there would be hope for life in this door of death, which means destruction!" Ling Yu also put away his joke and said.
Seeing Ling Yu and the chaotic expressions, the Seven Demons of Guixu were also infected by them, and their faces were filled with excitement. They have been trapped in the ruins dungeon for 70,000 years, and now they finally have a chance to get out, everything is like a dream.
"Who are you?Why did you break into the territory of the Giant Clan?I wonder if anyone who trespassed on the door of death will survive?" Perhaps Ling Yu and the others were too excited to notice that their voices had awakened the three sleeping Giant Clan leaders. Although the language used by the Giant Clan was incomprehensible to Ling Yu and the Seven Demons of the Ruins, the meaning of their divine sense fluctuations was clearly understood by Ling Yu and the others.
"Old bandit, are you sure there is no danger behind this light door?" Ling Yu stared at the three giants tightly, and asked Fu Chao without looking back.
"Of course, there is no magic circle here that confuses people's senses, so the vitality behind the Light Gate is definitely real!" Fu Chao said affirmatively.
"Well, since you're so sure, I'll believe you once. If we can't deal with these three giants for a while, we will rush into the Light Gate together and escape from here!" Ling Yu nodded and said in a deep voice.
