Chapter 268: Nine Shades
Suddenly, Ye Qingcheng suddenly woke up.
When he woke up, he was sweating profusely, and his veins were so hot that he felt like he had been scorched by flames. However, his demeanor gradually became clearer, the poisonous Gu on his body had been burned clean, and only the scar on his shoulder was still faintly painful.
It was a small, claustrophobic space, and the lighting stone emitted a cold white glow. Xiao Wu sat beside Ye Qingcheng's face, staring at him distressed with big crystal eyes. However, when he woke up, he immediately danced excitedly.
At this time, Liu Beishui leaned on the inner wall of the Earth Spirit Ball decadently, looked at Ye Qingcheng exhausted, and smiled weakly: "I finally rescued you, the little poisonous Gu actually led me astray and almost buried your life, I am really a stupid genius." β
"What kind of logic are you? Ye Qingcheng was also very weak, he struggled to sit up, remembering the previous dream, and his heart palpitated. That door is the ghost gate, once you enter, you will be reincarnated, fortunately, at the most critical moment, Liu Beishui saved him.
"Boss. Liu Beishui threw the golden wine jug in his hand to Ye Qingcheng, and said with a decadent smile: "We brothers, although we haven't been in contact for a long time. But what was born at about the same time, and now they are going to die together, which is also fate. β
"Didn't you seeβ" As he spoke, Liu Beishui once again resurfaced that terrifying scene in his mind, he grabbed his hair with both hands, showing a crazy expression, and said: "It's so fucking 'spectacular'! Have you ever seen a snake stream that erupts like a volcano? Even if I can get out alive, it will be a nightmare for my life!"
"Volcano?!" Ye Qingcheng was unconscious before the Snake Flow erupted, and he didn't see the devastating scene, "Where are we now?"
"Buried in the sea of snakes. Liu Beishui said pessimistically: "This earth spirit guard can last for three days, and after three days, we will commit suicide." I don't want to be devoured by those monster snakes. β
"Don't worry, Master said that no matter what kind of desperate situation, there will be a way out. As he spoke, he took it, and found that there were still some unabsorbed blood stains on the blank pages of the book.
"Say hello to our old man and ask him to allow me to enter the eye of my dreams at this critical juncture. Liu Beishui said: "Just now, I tried it, but I didn't go in, and I almost lost your life." β
"Good. Ye Qingcheng nodded.
In the dream:
In front of a simple wooden house, under the bright sunshine, Gu Shimu's peaceful, emaciated figure, wearing a gray robe, was sitting on a rattan chair, peacefully flipping through ancient books. Xiao Bian's figure also appeared in his dream, under a tree vine, picking vine leaves.
"Master. Ye Qingcheng hurriedly walked over, still holding a fantasy strange snake in his hand.
"Nine Phantom Snakes?" Before Ye Qingcheng could speak, the Gu Mu clan closed the ancient book and stared at the strange snake with raised eyebrows, revealing a look of surprise.
"This is called the Nine Ghost Snake?!" Ye Qingcheng was shocked.
Nine ghost snakes, Ye Qingcheng has never seen them, nor has he heard Gu Mu's explanation, and he has never seen them in any beast taming books. However, he had heard about the Nine Shades.
Jiuyou is an underground deep sea under the Yuntian Continent, 10,000 li deep, with an area of one-fifth the size of the continent. The deep sea, which had been hidden for countless years, was the first to be discovered by Yuntian.
In the old ancient times, Yun Tian was still a young genius who showed his edge, and it was because he discovered the Nine Hidden Seas and formed an alliance with the first alliance beast - the Dark Cloud Jiao, that he became famous, and was later accepted as a closed disciple by the greatest soothsayer at that time - Qing Yuzi.
Qing Yuzi is not an animal tamer, but a soothsayer. He once adopted a little crane, which was later the mad demon - the Green Fire Crane, which was barely Yuntian's senior brother. Later, when Qing Yuzi was dying, the Green Fire Crane followed his will to form an alliance with Yun Tian and became the strongest core of the Yun Clan.
However, at that time, there were two people in the Yun clan who were as famous as the Green Fire Crane, one was the Barbarian King - Tianmu Tiger, and the other was the Water Yama - Dark Cloud Turning Jiao. They are the three pillars of the Yun Clan, and a thousand years ago, their cultivation approached the threshold of immortals, and they were stuck in the intermediate stage of Shura and immortals.
After the Battle of Beihai broke out, the three of them were the strongest shields in the Yuntian Continent, and it was difficult to count the strong people who died in their hands. It's just that since that battle, in addition to the Green Fire Crane, the other two Yun Clan giants, the Dark Cloud Turning Jiao and the Tianmu Tiger, have never shown up again.
The Dark Cloud Turning Jiao is the later ruler of the Nine Shadows.
"Aren't you in the Forest of No Return?" asked the Gumu clan, puzzled.
"Yes, this thing appeared in the White Lotus Swamp. Ye Qingcheng said, "How did they run out of the Nine Shadows Sea?"
"It's not running out. The Gu Mu clan pondered for a moment and said, "During the Battle of the North Sea a thousand years ago, the Water Yama (Dark Cloud Turning Jiao) led an army of snake kings to participate in the battle, all of them were snake emperors above the sixth order, almost more than a hundred people. However, none of them survived, and all of them died in the North Sea. After the death of those snake emperors, the corpses will turn into nests, which can derive countless small snakes, so the Nine Ghost Snakes are also called nest snakes. If my guess is correct, it should be the one who buried the body of the Snake Emperor in the White Lotus Swamp. β
"It's horrible. Ye Qingcheng's scalp tingled when he thought about it.
"Terrible?" Gu Mu smiled indifferently and said: "This kind of little snake is just a hatched young snake, those real nest snake emperors under the command of Yama Luo, their body is more than 10,000 zhang long and 1,000 zhang thick, which is several times larger than the largest dragon in the world. What you see is just a small scene. β
"For me, it's been a nightmare. Ye Qingcheng said: "There are more than hundreds or even tens of millions of them, and Beishui and I are completely surrounded by them, what should we do now?"
"This little snake is not a threat to you, is it?"
"Thousands!"
"Then kill them all. Gumu said directly.
"You're always joking, aren't you? I can't kill you all when you're tired?" Ye Qingcheng said angrily: "There is no other solution?"
Gu Mu shook his head and said, "For little guys like you, the best solution is to kill. β
Ye Qingcheng was silent for a while, and said discouragedly: "You can't do it in vain, and you can't do it if you're tired." β
However, Gu Mu showed a rare, stern expression, and said, "The potential of life is unlimited, and the more oppressive you are subjected to, the stronger the ability you can release. Some desperate situations cannot be solved by stratagem, and perseverance is often the key to success or failure! You are the future heir of this continent, and in the future, the Yun Clan may have a more severe test before accepting you. β
"What if I can't get through this difficult time and I'm tired to death?" Ye Qingcheng said.
"Huh. Gu Mu retracted his sΓΉ, showed a thin smile, picked up the ancient book, and said leisurely: "Then I will accept another disciple." β
"It's really my misfortune to meet a heartless master like you. Ye Qingcheng said in disappointment.
"If you can become my disciple, your ancestral grave will be smoking. Gu Mu smiled: "Remember to leave a live nest snake, it will devour all the snake corpses, and it is possible to grow into the new emperor of the nest snake." β
