Chapter 0277: The Betrayer
Ban Ming said in a deep voice: "There are also myths on this planet, but unlike the immortal cultivators in the myths of our solar system, the gods in the myths of this planet are all gods who can control the huge steel monsters to fly to the sky...... It seems that in the last era, the humans on this planet already had a fairly high technological civilization. β
It's a pity that it was destroyed by the Adventure King.
Ban Ming took a light breath and continued: "And on this planet, there is a forbidden area recognized by the three major kingdoms, called the Demon Forest, once any human person enters it, after going deep into a certain area, it will never be able to get out again, and every three months, there will be strange sounds from the depths of the Demon Forest, which can make the people and beasts nearby lose themselves and involuntarily walk into the forest...... Over time, the people of this planet have turned away from the Demon Forest. β
Yang Yaren frowned slightly, and said, "It does sound a little weird, do you want to take a look?"
Ban Ming looked in the direction of the Demon Forest recorded in the classics and said, "There must be a demon when things go wrong, I have a feeling that there may be some shocking secrets hidden in the Demon Forest." β
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi gathered surgingly, and a spatial teleportation array with radiance appeared under their feet.
With Ban Ming's current formation attainments, he can forcibly condense the surrounding heaven and earth vitality as an energy source to urge the formation to operate, but the space teleportation array formed in this way can only be teleported for short distances, and if it is across planets, it will be far from enough.
With a flash of light, Ban Ming and Yang Yaren disappeared in place.
Seconds later, the two of them appeared more than 3,000 kilometers away.
Ahead, a lush jungle was shrouded in a hazy black mist, and there seemed to be an unknown beast hidden in the darkness, which made people feel cold.
Here, it's the edge of the Magic Forest.
Ban Ming stared at the black mist in front of him, his eyes were a little strange: "It seems that we have come to the right place." The spatial distortion formed by the spatial formation, this demon forest has not been stripped from this world, and it can still be entered by walking, but there is no way to enter it through spatial teleportation...... This is not something that people in this civilization can have. β
"The first possibility is that the last civilization that was destroyed was also proficient in formations in addition to technology. Yang Yaren looked at it with interest, and said, "The second possibility is that this bureau was left by the Adventure King who destroyed the previous civilization. β
Ban Ming's brows moved slightly, and his eyes were a little solemn.
Ban Ming felt that the possibility of such a thing was very small, and he knew from looking at the civilization of the solar system that if it wasn't for the fact that he had obtained the Taiji Diagram, such a thing as a formation would never have appeared.
Unless, in the last civilization of this planet, there are also people who have obtained a similar inheritance and are proficient in formations.
As for the latter possibility that Yang Yaren said, Ban Ming felt that it was up for discussion, because he couldn't think of a reason for the Adventure King to do this, and it was impossible that the latter was still on this planet now?
"Either way, we'll know the answer soon. β
Ban Ming said, walking towards the Demon Forest.
Yang Yaren pursed his lips and smiled, and followed.
Soon, Ban Ming felt that he had passed through an invisible barrier.
This layer of barrier is formed after the distortion of space, if it is an ordinary person passing through here, it will not have any special feeling, only at the level of Ban Ming, whether it is physical or spiritual perception, it is a thousand times stronger than ordinary people, can it be perceived.
From the outside, the Demon Forest was shrouded in a layer of hazy black fog, but after passing through this barrier, Ban Ming found that there was actually no fog here.
The so-called black fog is nothing more than the distortion of light caused by the spatial distortion that prevents normal reflection.
There was silence in the treacherous jungle, except for the trees, there seemed to be no living creatures, and no birds, beasts and insects could be heard.
Ban Ming's expression was calm and indifferent, his feet stepped on the soft ground paved by stale fallen leaves, silently feeling the operation of the spatial formation under his feet, and he was slightly surprised in his heart.
This is different from the small world of the gods, there is no doubt that being able to arrange the space formation in this era must be an extremely deep understanding of the space law, and the formation attainments are also very extraordinary.
In the classic records of the Nanyue Dynasty, the Demon Forest has existed since a long time ago, and it has been at least 800 years old.
Eight hundred years ago, people were able to arrange such a formation, and now, eight hundred years later, to what extent will their formation attainments be improved?
Ban Ming didn't dare to imagine.
However, what made him puzzled was that he didn't feel the superimposed formation of the Confusing Divine Mind from this formation, so where did the strange sounds recorded in the classics that could make people lose themselves came from?
Just thinking this, Ban Ming suddenly heard a strange gurgling sound coming from the depths of the jungle.
Ban Ming and Yang Yaren's eyes were very sober, and they glanced at each other.
Cultivation is as strong as them, they all feel it, this gurgling sound contains a trace of spiritual power, this level of spiritual power is enough to hypnotize people below the realm in an instant, even if it is a realm martial artist, it can't last for a few seconds.
Since you have spiritual power, in other words...... In the depths of this demon forest, there is a Heavenly Realm powerhouse?
It seemed to realize that the spiritual power contained in the sound he made did not have an effect, and the gurgling sound gradually disappeared after a few sounds.
The figure slowly floated up, and Ban Ming and Yang Yaren flew towards the depths of the Demon Forest unhappily and slowly.
Nearly half an hour later, suddenly, the depths of the jungle, which had been very dense and dimly lit, suddenly appeared.
Ban Ming and the others flew over, pierced through the forest, and as far as the eye could see, it was a lake.
The lake is round like a mirror, and in the middle of the lake, there is a small island, and in the middle of the island, there is a rusty copper pillar standing.
Beneath the bronze pillar, a man with unkempt hair and ragged clothes sat cross-legged, covered in a thick layer of ash, his hands and feet were shackled, long chains were scattered all over the ground, and the end was attached to the bronze pillar.
And on the edge of this lake, scattered a large number of bones, both animal and human, in addition to fragments of clothes and weapons.
Seeing this scene, Ban Ming suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Because he noticed that not only around the lake, but also on the small island, there were many bones scattered around the ragged man's body, some of which were obviously bones that only exist in human bodies, such as ...... Skull!
Ban Ming suddenly understood where the people and beasts who had been hypnotized into the magic forest by strange sounds had goneβthey had all entered the ragged man's belly!
On the small island in the middle of the lake, the breath on the man's body seemed to be nothing, however, when Ban Ming and Yang Yaren walked out of the jungle and came to the lake, the aura on his body became as strong as a rising tide.
The dust on his body fell, and the man's slightly lowered head was raised, and then his eyes opened, revealing a pair of vicissitudes and cold eyes from the hair covering.
Whoa......
The chains rubbed against each other, and the man slowly stood up.
When he stood up, there was a momentum that belonged to a peerless powerhouse, like a mountain, even if the sky fell, he could use his backbone to support this side of the world.
A powerful coercion erupted like a volcano, crushing towards Ban Ming and the others.
However, this level of coercion, whether it is for Ban Ming or Yang Yaren, is actually not very much in their eyes, their breath is calm, as if they are unconscious.
"Finally...... Someone...... OK...... Walk to the ...... on your own Here......" The man made a hoarse, staccato voice in his throat, seemingly agitated, speaking the language of the planet.
Ban Ming stared at him coldly, and said slowly, "Who are you? are you a person from this planet, or the one who was left here by the existence that destroyed the last civilization?"
Obviously, this man trapped on an island in the lake by chains and copper pillars could not be the Adventure King.
Hearing this, the man's body suddenly shook violently, and his eyes became even more excited: "You guys...... Not from this planet?"
"We're not. Ban Ming said: "You haven't answered my question yet. β
The man looked at Ban Ming and the others for a long time, and finally spoke again: "I am a person from this planet, and I am also the person who was deliberately left here by that person. β
When Ban Ming heard this, his heart was cold: "You betrayed your race?"
"Betrayal?hahahaha......" The man laughed desolately, full of pathos and uncontrollable anger, and finally, a murderous intent rose into the sky, making him look like a madman.
Ban Ming was calm, because he sensed that this man's killing intent was not aimed at him and Yang Yaren.
After laughing wildly for a while, the man sat down cross-legged again, and said calmly, "Since you are outsiders and have come here, it will be easier for me to explain some things to you......
"Speak. Ban Ming nodded.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should have the same purpose as that man, you are all here for the treasure of our planet, right?" the man asked rhetorically.
Ban Ming was noncommittal, looking at him without speaking.
A deep hatred suddenly appeared in the man's eyes.
This time, Ban Ming felt that this hatred was directed at himself and Yang Yaren.
"That person carried out a devastating blow to our planet in order to obtain the supreme treasure of our planet, countless people died under the attack of his magic weapon, it was a complete massacre, we couldn't stop him at all, even if I was the most powerful martial cultivator in that civilization, I had no ability to resist in front of him......"
In the end, he got what he wanted. In my agony of pleading, he agreed to show mercy to the less than a million people left on our planet, on the condition that I do as he pleads. β
"I had no choice, and in the end, I was trapped by him in this jungle that saw no day, imprisoned on this small island. And the task he gave me was to wait, to wait for people like him to enter this jungle, to reach me, and then tell him a word-"
Ban Ming's expression became solemn and asked, "What words?"
"I'm on the other side of the teleportation array, waiting for you!" the man stared at Ban Ming deadly, exhaled deeply, and said, "That's what he said. And the teleportation array he was referring to was just below this lake!"
Ban Ming's body was shocked, and many questions in his heart were solved at once.
This man, as expected, is the back hand of the Adventure King on this planet, and his only purpose is to guide the other Adventure Kings to meet him!
The so-called king does not see the king, it is conceivable that after the two sides meet, there will inevitably be a battle of life and death to seize the supreme magic weapon in each other's hands.
There is no doubt that the adventure king who laid down such a backhand has strong confidence in himself and regards other adventure kings as fish and meat!
After being silent for a moment, Ban Ming glanced at the bones around him and said, "These birds, beasts and humans are all eaten by you?"
"I don't have a choice...... the man's voice was hoarse, and it even sounded like he was wailing in a low voice, like a beast facing a desperate situation: "He already said before leaving, if I die, it will be equivalent to a mission failure, then the civilization of our planet will have no value to continue to exist, so I must live, even if it is cannibalism, I must live!"
Ban Ming and Yang Yaren were silent.
Ban Ming's fists clenched slowly unconsciously, and there was a hot and cold fire burning in his chest, and he couldn't wait to immediately knock the Adventure King to the ground and kill him into slag.
"Scum. Yang Yaren whispered in the language of the earth, with a faint coldness.
These two words are indeed very apt.
Ban Ming has also seen many hateful people, such as Xi Ying, such as Fang Yufan, such as Cross Caesar, such as Zhuang Han...... However, the evil of these people can be said to be nothing compared to this adventure king.
"What's your name?" asked Ban Ming.
"Veroch. β
Ban Ming asked again, "What about that person's name?"
Verocchi's body trembled slightly, as if the mere thought of that name would bring him unspeakable fear, and after a while, his voice trembled slightly: "His name is ...... Sand Slash. β
Ban Ming silently kept this name in his heart, and then said: "Then, Veroqi, from now on, you are free, and I will bring it to you to pay tribute to your people." β
Verozchi looked up, his bearded face moving, "You decided to go over?"
"I came for him. β
Ban Ming said, with a flick of his fingers, a force crossed the surface of the lake and landed on the shackles on Veroqi's body, which contained the power of the sharp artistic conception belonging to Hisoka.
His artistic conception of "one thought of life and death" has no effect on dead things, but it is not as good as using the power of Taiji diagram to deduce and simulate the artistic conception z of Siso.
With a few clicks, the shackles on Veroch's hands and feet broke off and fell to the ground.
Veroche looked at his free hands and feet in disbelief, for countless years, even if he tried his best, he couldn't break the shackles on his hands and feet, but he didn't expect to be easily broken today.
Immediately, a look of mixed joy and sorrow appeared on his face.
Ban Ming sighed softly, his body shook, and he landed on the island.
"Thank you, thank you!" Veroche reacted, and was about to kneel down suddenly, but was held up by an invisible force, and couldn't kneel down anyway.
