Chapter 319: The Grotto
After entering the core area of the Daredevil Stone Forest, it was indeed much more dangerous, and there were obviously more corpses among the rocks.
In some places, there is even a layer of bones on the ground, and for thousands of years, I don't know how many people have died here. Some of them died from various traps or forbidden circles, and even if the corpses were separated, the bones were relatively intact, while others were clearly killed by the Night Demon, and the corpses were scattered and broken.
Hong Yuan rode on the shoulders of a night demon and walked cautiously surrounded by many night demon warriors.
After approaching the Night Demon Mountain, Hong Yuan also sensed a strong danger, and like the Ghost Five and the others, he was also apprehensive, although there were three hundred strong Night Demon warriors around him, he also did not dare to be careless. Fortunately, when they arrived near Daredevil Mountain, the Daredevil warriors seemed to have returned to their hometown, avoiding many traps and magic circles and resolving invisible dangers. There are more and more Daredevil haunting the rocks, but there is obviously no suspicion, and many Daredevil warriors are regarded as the same kind, and they pass by without incident.
The two huge dangers in the Night Demon Stone Forest were all inadvertently cracked by Hong Yuan.
At the beginning, Hong Yuan was also quite nervous and apprehensive, slowly, passing by the night demon cruising in the dark again and again, and after being in danger again and again, he finally slowly relaxed and boldly continued to move forward. When he had the opportunity, he even boldly charged more Daredevils, picking on the ones who were left behind, and the Daredevil clan grew in size even further, and the speed of growth was faster than ever, from three hundred to four hundred, then four hundred and fifty, four hundred and seventy, and five hundred. The murderous aura and coercion exuded by the gathering of five hundred Daredevil warriors made many of their kind also feel the danger and take refuge from afar.
The night was dark, and it was still some time before dawn.
The moon hanging high in the sky was still covered with a layer of blood, and under the light of this blood moon, the night demons were particularly manic. The closer you get to Daredevil Mountain, the more obvious the Daredevils' mania becomes, and the roars of anger come and go.
Hong Yuan continued to move forward, to climb the Daredevil Mountain to see what was going on. If you want to complete Ge Hong's quest to capture the Cloud Mist Lingzhi and bring it back to Night Dragon City, you must take risks.
When fifteen or sixteen miles away from Daredevil Mountain, there were the most corpses on the ground;
After the distance was reduced to ten kilometers, the situation was different, and the corpses scattered on the ground were significantly fewer;
Continue on, and after five kilometers, there are fewer corpses. It seems that there are not many people in history who really have the ability to break under Daredevil Mountain. With Daredevil Mountain as the center, there are obviously three lines of defense, and the further you go inside, the more dangerous it becomes, and those who can die in the third line of defense are definitely masters.
Hong Yuan, who was moving all the way, suddenly stopped.
In the front left, about 20 meters or so, there is a small hidden grotto. The grotto was next to another rock, and was seventeen meters above the ground, allowing only one person to enter it. The grotto is very secret, people can't notice it when they walk on the ground, Hong Yuan is also riding on the shoulder of the night demon, and happened to look up at the blood moon in the sky before he accidentally saw it, and vaguely saw a glimmer of light in the grotto.
"There's a treasure in there?"
Hong Yuan thought about it, and with a slight groan, he jumped from the night demon's shoulders and flew high in the air, then stepped on the steep stone wall and flew upward, rushing into the hidden grotto in one breath. After opening the treasure of the four directions, he has not yet comprehended any powerful supernatural powers, but his skills are obviously much deeper, and he can absorb the aura of heaven and earth anytime and anywhere to replenish his consumption.
After standing at the entrance of the cave to rest for a while and catch his breath, Hong Yuan walked into the grotto, and after seeing the scene inside, his heart jumped.
There are no treasures in the grotto, only a human wall, a human wall made up of many people's heads! In front of the human wall, there is a long-haired old man sitting cross-legged, whose hair is longer than a woman and almost dragged to the ground, his eyes are blazing and breathtaking, and his face seems to be smiling and giving people a dangerous aura, as if he has already calculated the arrival of Hong Yuan.
Hong Yuan's scalp was numb, and he subconsciously took a half step back and pulled out the Qiushui knife, and said respectfully on his chest: "Hong Yuan passed by, I don't know that my predecessors are practicing here and take the liberty to disturb me, and I also invite my predecessors Haihan!"
The stronger the cultivation and the more turmoil he experienced, the more careful Hong Yuan became. In case of emergencies, salute first and then maintain a sense of awe.
No one answered, the grotto was quiet, and even the eyes and expressions of the long-haired old man did not change in the slightest. In particular, the eyes look very intimidating, but if you look closely, you can find that the unchanged lacks energy, and it is obviously dead. There is also a layer of dust deposited on the clothes, but I am afraid that it has been dead for more than a hundred years. The human heads piled up on the wall are not ordinary human heads, but the heads of the night demons, who have killed no less than 3,000 night demons!
"Who killed three thousand night demons?"
"What kind of supernatural power is it, even after a hundred years of death, and the body is still not rotten?"
Hong Yuan was surprised, knowing that the long-haired old man was dead, his heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after seeing the situation in the grotto clearly, he couldn't help but wonder.
Those who can break into the nearby area must be masters, breaking through the heavy interception of the night demons, not only breaking here, but also killing three thousand night demons in turn, cutting off their heads and piling them up into walls, this is definitely a super master, so that the white camel old fairy and Wen Hongniang and the like are beyond the reach of the dust, and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the three alliance giants of the half-step Heavenly God Realm master!
Hong Yuan gasped, and drops of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
If the long-haired old man hadn't died, with his cultivation, he would definitely be sent to death if he rushed up like this, and no matter how many Daredevil warriors there were under the grotto, he was afraid that he wouldn't have time to rescue him!
Hong Yuan secretly called it a fluke, knowing that he was still careless, the danger in the Night Demon Stone Forest was far more than the Forbidden Circle and the Night Demon. After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly calmed down and stepped forward to take a closer look.
The wound on the night demon's head was very smooth, and it looked like it had been cut off with some sharp blade, but Hong Yuan searched for a while, but he didn't find any murder weapon next to the long-haired old man;
The long-haired old man sat cross-legged as if he was meditating and cultivating, with his hands flat on his knees, holding a book. Hong Yuan opened a few pages and looked at it, it turned out to be a diary, signed by Liu Pingchuan.
"In the 837th year of the Dragon Blood Era, on the 7th day of August, it rained heavily, Brother Shuhua came to visit, although he was about to ascend, he was still worried about the danger of the Dragon Blood Sanctuary, which is ridiculous! After drinking a thousand cups, he made a bet, and the one who drank three cups of Falling God Wine without getting drunk won, and if he lost, he would enter the Night Demon Stone Forest to collect three thousand drops of Night Demon Essence Blood. ”
"August 8th, cloudy, has reached the Night Demon Stone Forest, boring. There are a lot of night demons, a drop of essence and blood is hard to find, there is no body and no connotation, and the night demon people exist in name only. ”
"On August 9th, Xiaoyu broke the Demon Refining Array into the Night Demon Mountain, and finally fought with the Night Demon Commander, and returned with three drops of the Night Demon Essence Blood. ”
"August 10th, rain, fight again. ”
"August 11th, battle. ”
"Eight hundred and thirty-eight years of the Dragon's Blood Era, war!"
"Nine hundred and twenty-one years of the Dragon Blood Era, Brother Shuhua, I am going to be killed by you. The night demon commander is not terrible, but the demon refining array kills people invisibly, and the heavenly god ban is really powerful, and it is not something that my generation can force through. The Falling God Wine Bottle is almost full, and the last five drops of the blood of the three thousand Night Demon Spirits are missing, but it's a pity, it's a pity ......"
Hong Yuan casually flipped through a few pages, and the more he read, the more frightened he became.
It can be inferred from the diary that this long-haired old man who calls himself Liupingchuan has been fighting with the Night Demon Grand Commander for hundreds of years, almost every day, harvesting the Night Demon essence blood from the Night Demon Grand Commander. In the end, the old man finally couldn't survive and died, but looking at his message in his diary, he did not die at the hands of the Night Demon Grand Commander, but from the so-called Demon Refining Array.
"Ascension is imminent, what does this mean? Brother Shuhua mentioned in the diary has opened the treasure of the Heavenly Gods and is about to ascend to the Heavenly Realm to become a Heavenly God?"
"Who is this long-haired old man?"
Hong Yuan's heart was shocked, and he noticed something amazing through the ancient diary. Especially Brother Shuhua in the diary, it seems that he still has something to do with the Dragon Blood Sanctuary of the Hualong Empire. If this is the case, then the power of the Dragon Blood Sanctuary will be too terrifying, and the three alliance giants will not be able to compete with it!
A cold sweat oozed from Hong Yuan's forehead, he thought there was some treasure in the grotto, but he didn't expect to find such a diary. As a result, as soon as the diary was picked up, the long-haired old man Liu Pingchuan's body shrank, and the battle robe and his long hair turned into dust and dissipated with the wind, and the muscles on his face disappeared, turning into a skeleton in a blink of an eye. At this time, Hong Yuan found that the ribs of the skeleton were all broken, and it seemed that he had been fatally injured before he died.
A cold wind poured in, and the neatly piled up wall of human heads behind the old man fell to the ground with a bang, and the terrifying Daredevil's head rolled to the ground. In a recess in the stone wall where the many Daredevil heads had been hidden, a small flask was placed.
Hong Yuan was startled, and walked over to take out the small wine jug, and as soon as he opened the lid, a large smell of blood came to his face. The smell was strong and carried with a strange power, as if it was about to roll Hong Yuan's body into the jug and melt into blood.
"Could it be that this is the blood of the night demon spirit, the Falling God Wine Bottle?"
Hong Yuan's heart moved, and he hurriedly closed the lid. This flask does not look like a treasure, but rather an extremely dangerous hoodoo, giving people an instinctive danger. After hesitating for a while, Hong Yuan stubbornly put away the Falling God Wine Flask, hid it in the Buddha's ring along with the diary, and then turned around and left, jumping directly from the grotto more than ten meters high and landing on the shoulder of a night demon.
"Let's go!"
Hong Yuan gave an order, and led many night demon warriors to leave in a hurry, quickly away from the grotto behind him. racking his brains, he can't remember that there is a character like Liu Pingchuan in the rivers and lakes, but he has a hunch that this is definitely a super master, so strong that the three alliance giants may tremble!
