Chapter 0796 - A Scream
The screams rang out when Su Qi and the others carefully studied the murals.
The voice was poignant, full of horror, short and excited, but it stopped abruptly, and soon, a bloody breath came, which showed that the unlucky guy lost his life almost instantly, and there was not much time to react, no matter who moved his hand, it was simply neat, and he was erased in an instant.
The screams were clear and close.
The two of them were looking at a special landscape map, which painted the highest one in a landscape, and after discovering that the landscape map might have another mystery, the two of them walked along the stone road, quickly browsing all the nearby landscape maps, and barely reconstructed the true appearance of a region in their hearts.
This landscape is composed of about 700 murals, including 131 large and small peaks, 13 rivers and streams, each mountain peak, every river appears in these murals from various angles, the few only appear twice, the most appear 49 times, and the most this is the highest peak in this landscape.
And this special mural is the front view of this high mountain, it stands surrounded by more than ten low mountains, there is a stream on each side of the pass, the top of the peak is covered with snow, and there are ancient trees at the bottom, although it is not a strange handsome, but it is the most outstanding peak in this place, but what makes Su Qi most curious is not the mountain itself, but several low mountains around it.
Three are in the north, showing the trend of the arch moon, the remaining seven are in the east, the position of the town Canglong Xingdou, especially the peaks of the three positions of the room, the heart and the tail, each is depicted very clearly, you can see that the mountain peak has its own clouds and mist, there are many strange stones and trees, and there is a faint glow on the top of the mountain.
This kind of mountain is extremely special, it is called the Canglong back moon in the formation, the seven Canglong Star Mountains are the core of this array, but it is the wedding dress of others, and the aura gathered is all concentrated on the main peak, and the three Gongyue Mountains are the auxiliary of this array, it makes up for the discord of yin and yang here, supplements the lack of five elements, and makes the power of the five elements of the main peak abundant.
But this terrain is almost impossible to appear naturally, at least Su Qi has never heard of the existence of a dragon back moon in any mountain range in the world, and if it really exists, it will definitely be a must for many great sects, and the bloody storm caused by it is enough to leave a record in the books of most races, and it is impossible to be obscure.
And Su Qi learned that this kind of general trend of mountains and rivers was still in the inheritance left to him by Emperor Yun, and there used to be such a terrain in the homeland of the human race, but it was not natural, but artificial, and it was created by Emperor Yun by the means of the Great Emperor.
Just when Su Qi began to doubt the relationship between these murals and the homeland of the human race, the scream broke out, it interrupted Su Qi's thinking, and also made the two of them instantly cautious, after the initial sluggishness, the two quickly reacted, glanced at each other, and then hid their breath, and began to quietly touch the place where the scream was.
It's not that the two of them are too bold and want to find out in the face of unknown dangers, but because they have fallen into a predicament, although they know that there may be a clue or secret buried in the landscape map, but they don't know how big this labyrinth is, just where they walked, there are already nearly 10,000 murals, and it may take how much time it will take to decipher so many landscape maps.
Any change at this time may be the way out to solve the problem, so even if there is danger, the two have to rush forward.
The sound of screaming came from their northeast, although the sound could only judge an approximate range, but the smell of blood made up for this shortcoming, the two of them quickly rushed through the stone path, because of deliberate concealment, did not make a sound, and their breathing was suppressed to the extreme, each of them had a hidden spirit talisman attached to their bodies, Su Qi also urged the bead lent to him by a female cultivator, in the feeling of outsiders, when they rushed through, it was just like a very light wind.
There was silence in the stone path, and there was no sound, the person who died should be a monk of the traditional sect, Su Qi didn't know why he acted alone, but there was another thing that was also very strange, such a loud scream, how could there be no monks from other traditional sects to come to support?
With a few doubts, Su Qi and Dongfang Jiyue went around in the labyrinth, and also encountered many dead ends, and it took a whole stick of incense before they found the location of the scream. Three-two
The corpse is gone, but there are blood stains and a broken short knife on the ground, the handle has a unique pattern mark of Nanling, and a scorpion is carved at the top, and the broken blade is very neat, indicating that the other party cut the knife in half in an instant, but the tip of the knife is not here, I don't know if it was taken away by the attacker.
Su Qi bent down and picked up a black insect from the gap in the stone slab, it was only half a fingernail in size, its body was curled up, and it was already dead, "This is a spirit devouring insect, specializing in devouring spiritual energy, very good at corroding the Great Array, this person is a monk of the Worm Ridge Force." ”
"The sect that specializes in envoys poisonous insects?"
"Yes. ”
Dongfang Jiyue looked around, the candle flame on the stone wall burned quietly, without a single crackling sound, "I remember you said that the Worm Ridge Monk often commands thousands of spirit worms, but there is only one here, which means that he has no chance to resist at all, and he has not been able to summon his own spirit worms." ”
"There's a lot of blood. Su Qi lowered his head, and the remaining blood stains on the ground were splashing, staining a large piece of stone slab, which had been half-solidified, and the fishy smell was extremely strong, "It seems that someone has been chopped alive." ”
Dongfang Jiyue picked her toes, and the short knife fell into her hand, she raised it and looked at the candle flame, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then handed it to Su Qi, "Look at the fracture of this knife, it was cut from above, if you don't guess wrong, this Worm Ridge monk should be panicked and raised his knife to defend against the enemy, but he was directly cut off by the other party." ”
Su Qi nodded, put away the short knife, and his gaze suddenly fell on the mural opposite.
This is also a landscape map.
There is only a lonely mountain in the painting, and the painter probably stands at the foot of the mountain and looks up at the painting, so the mountain peak is extremely majestic, as if it is about to fall down, and the top is covered with clouds, which has the power of penetrating the nine heavens.
To Su Qi's surprise, he actually knew this mountain, which was also the only mountain peak he knew after seeing tens of thousands of landscape maps.
And this mountain means a lot to him.
His hands trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of excitement.
"What's wrong?" Dongfang Jiyue saw Su Qi's strangeness.
"This mountain..... I recognize," Su Qi stepped forward and gently stroked the mural, his face was strange, "It's Lingxu Mountain." ”
