Chapter Twenty-Three: The Fire Jiao

Regardless of whether the phoenix egg could hatch in the future, Liu Chenhan put the phoenix egg away and put it in his backpack, and the two walked towards a hidden passage behind the giant nest.

As soon as they entered the passage, they heard a loud noise, and the two looked back, only to see the giant nest in the center of the cave collapsing, and after the giant nest collapsed, a cloud of dust was raised, which blocked their vision. When the dust gradually cleared, I saw that the original crystal clear agate red on the surface of the body was rapidly decaying, turning into a decaying gray-brown color.

There was still a ring of dust left near the surface, like a ring of stars guarding the planet.

"Bang!"

The crack under the giant nest before was like a roaring beast at this moment, roaring angrily.

The two of them saw that the dust in the shape of the underground star ring was roared through the crack under the giant nest, revealing a crack that was covered like a spider's web, and the crack at this moment gradually melted to form a pool of magma, constantly spitting out magma.

As soon as Xue Ergou saw the situation at this time, he understood why the phoenix in the nest was nesting here. Whether it is the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty or now, even the phoenix and the phoenix cannot find such natural treasures as Jianmu and Fusang trees, not to mention ordinary people, who may have become extinct in this world. Therefore, the phoenix can only condescend to the noble, not the plane tree, not the place where there is no treasure. This crack leads to the center of the earth, which is presumably the reason why the phoenix nests here.

The corpse of the phoenix in the magma pool was soaked in it, and it looked like it was taking a bath.

"Moo Moo ......"

A roar like a dragon roaring like a snake was deafening.

I saw a long figure rushing out from under the magma pool, and its body seemed to have flowing fiery red magma.

Xue Ergou looked intently and saw the fiery red figure, with a horse's head and a snake's body, four claws under the fish's tail, and a single horn above the forehead.

"Jiaolong. Xue Ergou calmly looked at the fiery red figure.

Liu Chenhan: "Jiaolong?"

Xue Ergou: "Yes, but this is different from the record in the third volume of "The Ink Waves the Rhino", which records: Jiao's shape is like a snake, its head is like a tiger, the elders are several zhang, and most of them live under the stone caves in Xitan, and the sound is like a cow's roar. This does not match the appearance of the dragon in front of him, and it seems that this dragon is also divided into types. ”

Liu Chenhan: "I see. ”

Xue Ergou looked at the fire Jiao coiled his body after coming out of the magma pool, covering the phoenix corpse in the magma pool, and glared angrily.

"Moo......" Suddenly, the dragon roared angrily and rushed out of the magma pool.

......Xue Ergou found that the tail of the dragon was pierced by a dark iron chain, and the other end of the chain went deep under the magma.

"Moo......" Jiaolong roared and tried again to no avail.

Xue Ergou thought that he was trapped, and Liu Chenhan on the side was shocked, and he didn't know which cow did it in ancient times.

"The image of the dragon is described in ancient books, and its image is varied. One of them is said to be slender and four-legged, with a horse's head and a snake's tail. One said that he was dressed in scale armor, with a head with horns and five claws. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that "dragons have nine similarities", which is an outlier that has the strengths of various animals. Its names are numerous, the scaly one is called Jiaolong, the winged one is called Yinglong, the horned one is called the dragon, and the hornless one is called Qiu. The small one is called Jiao, and the big one is called the dragon. Legend has it that it can be visible and hidden, small and huge, short and long. The spring equinox ascends to the sky, the autumn equinox dives into the abyss, calling for wind and rain, omnipotent. Xue Ergou looked at Jiaolong and told Liu Chenhan what he knew.

Liu Chenhan: "Then which breed do you think this dragon is?"

"Hmm...... I can't tell this either, how about calling it Huojiao for the time being?" Xue Ergou thought for a moment.

Liu Chenhan: "Okay, let's get out of here quickly, so as not to be discovered." ”

Xue Ergou: "Okay." ”

The farther away from the cave became, the temperature became colder, and the two of them couldn't help but quicken their pace and walk towards the passage.

The traces of artificial casting in the passage are very obvious, and there is an ever-bright lamp at intervals along the way, and the two of them pass by, but the flame in the lamp does not change at all, which is really strange.

A bright light appeared in the passage ahead, and the two of them walked in to see that it was the exit.

The two walked out of the passage only to see that there was a tomb outside the passage, with a coffin in the center, Xue Ergou took out the dragon hunting plate, looked at the direction of the tomb for a while, and then took Liu Chenhan and walked to other tombs......

It's just that what Xue Ergou didn't expect was that there were still twenty-four tombs waiting for him.

"Hey, I'm exhausted. After Xue Ergou calculated the location of the twenty-five nameless tombs, he took Liu Chenhan to find a random tomb and sit on the ground, and the two of them ate compressed biscuits, bread, and mineral water back to back.

After resting for a while, my strength recovered slightly.

Before Xue Ergou could speak, Liu Chenhan asked, "Why do you want to calculate the direction in the twenty-five nameless tombs, is there any problem here?"

Xue Ergou: "As soon as I entered this tomb, I felt strange, and there were three things that were wrong, one was not a stone tablet, no epitaphs were engraved, two were no murals depicting his deeds, and three were no burial goods, which was the most basic furnishing of the ancient tomb. ”

Liu Chenhan: "So what's the problem?"

"These twenty-five burial chambers and their locations are the biggest problem!" Xue Ergou squinted his eyes and said his guess.

Liu Chenhan asked, "What do you say?"

Xue Ergou thought for a moment: "When I first started, I thought that this tomb was arranged according to the Nine Palaces Technique, but when I was halfway through the calculation of the direction, I found that it was not completely correct. In addition to placing the direction of the tomb according to the Nine Palaces, there are also two rituals, four elephants, and eight trigrams. ”

Xue Ergou said this, and his words slowed down.

"Aren't there still two burial chambers?" Liu Chenhan asked coldly.

Xue Ergou: "Yes, there are two left." The remaining two are not in the above Feng Shui pattern, nor are they in any direction on the hexagram, as if they were deliberately abandoned. ”

"Bang ......"

The shock caused by the impact of an extremely strong force made Xue Ergou, who was caught off guard, soften under his feet, and he fell directly to the ground with a gray face.

Liu Chenhan sat on the ground before, but it was nothing, and he looked at Xue Ergou's embarrassed appearance and laughed.

"Moo......" The cry of the fire Jiao sounded again, and it seemed to be approaching the two of them.

"Laughing fart, I'm still laughing when my eyebrows are burning, hurry up and find a place to hide first. Xue Ergou said angrily and immediately got up, and led Liu Chenhan towards the farthest node in the tomb pattern from Huojiao.

"Bang...... Boom...... Bang ......"

In this closed and dark underground cavern, the fire Jiao hit the wall like this. I saw that more and more stones fell from the place where I hit the wall, and the stones along the way were crushed into powder by myself when I hit it. A look of joy flashed in the fire Jiao's eyes, but when it turned to see its tail, it seemed to remember something again, and anger replaced the joy in its eyes.

I saw that the chain that pierced his tail fell to the side with a half-bloody severed tail.
