Chapter 103: Secret
Dugu Sword Demon was speechless for a while.
And Keke, who was looking around on Xiao Chen's shoulder, suddenly stared at the big smart eyes when he heard the word Zulong, and waved the little beast claw vigorously, which meant that he was not convinced at all.
"Why is the village so deserted?" Xiao Chen noticed that although there were seventy or eighty households, only three or five people were seen after entering the village.
"Although there are a lot of houses, the population is getting smaller and smaller, and now there are less than 30 people in the whole village. The old woman let out a long sigh.
At this time, an old man with white beard and white hair floated into the courtyard like a ghost, this is an old spiritual priest.
"Fourth grandfather...... "The little fat man shouted innocently.
The old man responded, frowned, and said, "Oh no, that evil ghost was born again, and I found his traces." ”
"What kind of ghost?" asked the Dugu Sword Demon.
"An ancient demon who has lived for an endless time, is the only terrible ghost who escaped from the dead city. ”
The old man's words suddenly made Xiao Chen's heart cold, and he thought of the old ghost in the snowy mountain who had undergone several transformations, and it seemed that he had followed here......
The evil spirits have existed for an endless number of years, they escaped from the dead city, and they originated in ancient times, and this news is really terrifying and terrifying.
At that time, the village was not located here, but in a more beautiful valley, and they moved here only because dozens of sarcophagi were found while digging the earth to build the foundation.
Less than three months later. An evil spirit has appeared. The nightmare of the village began, and they were like animals in captivity, and every now and then one or two people would go missing, and everyone in the village knew that it was the evil spirits who took the lives of those people.
The old woman's ancestors also resisted, and tried their best to kill the murderer, but all ended in failure. And it led to even more horrific revenge, and it was an unforgettable dark time for them.
As the old woman said slowly, Xiao Chen and Dugu Sword Demon's faces became solemn. The reappearance of that terrifying spirit on Dragon Island would pose a major threat to their lives. The old woman sighed, as if she had woken up from a nightmare, and there seemed to be a few more wrinkles on her old cheeks.
During those dark years, the ancestors of the old woman discovered the remains of several more ancient villages on Dragon Island. There are some records left in those ruined ancient villages. Only then did they know that the Evil Spirit was an ancient necromancer. They are the only demons who have escaped from the Dead City, not a place they can fight against.
It is conceivable that there were people on Dragon Island who were trapped at different times. And the final demise of these people is related to the evil spirits, so they all leave some clues to a greater or lesser extent.
In ancient legends, some fierce spirits that make the gods uneasy can rob the life of the world, and let their ghosts constantly transform and return to the yang again, such fierce spirits are called devils. Some of the records left in the ruined, deserted old villages confirm this legend, and it is clear that the evil spirits on the island are the devils.
Fortunately, the ghost has not been raging for a long time, only a year. As soon as time passed, he would find a place where no one was and fall into a deep sleep, so that it would take hundreds of years to undergo a transformation, and then break out of the coffin again to absorb yang energy.
The ancestors of the old woman have already experienced two ghost tribulations, and now they can be said to be depleted, if they experience another ghost tribulation. Then the death of the remaining twenty or thirty people is not enough for the devil's needs. Total extinction is obvious.
"Aren't we going to die in this way?" Dugu Sword Demon asked, but he didn't have the slightest hint of fear. He is a cold-hearted and hard-hearted person, a veritable cruel and hard-hearted person.
"According to some of the accounts that were later discovered, we only have one chance now. The old woman took a sip of tea, moistened her dry lips, and said: "The three months after his molting and rebirth are his weak period, and only during this period can we fight him, otherwise he will be invincible after this period, and he will not be able to compete with him at all, and he is a veritable devil." ”
The devil has undergone dozens of transformations, and it stands to reason that he has already reached the state of perfection and has become an existence that makes the gods tremble. It's just that Dragon Island was sealed by the Divine Monument, and the devil couldn't break through the shackles at all, and was suppressed in the demigod realm, and he himself didn't dare to forcibly risk breaking through, otherwise the consequences would be terrible, and god-level power was not allowed to exist on Dragon Island.
The Imperial Sky Realm among the five realms of Metamorphosis, Knowledge, Heaven, Nirvana, and Immortality can be called the Demigod Realm, and the gap between the strength of the cultivators on the island and the strength of the devil is obvious.
"Three months? I'm afraid it won't be that long......" Xiao Chen said what he had seen and heard in the snowy mountains.
The old woman and the old man were shocked, and they both showed a look of fear, and the old woman said, "He...... It's been a month or two since then, and we seem to be ...... Not even a month left. ”
The old man also went to collect snow lotus near the snow mountain, and only then did he find the breath left by the evil ghost, but he did not find the three ice coffins.
Xiao Chen lowered his voice and said, "Is there a birthmark on his left wrist?"
"Legends...... Yes!"
"Oh no, when I came here, it seemed ...... That guy had followed him all the way here. ”
Xiao Chen's news was like a comet crashing into a calm sea, and a thousand waves stirred up in the hearts of several people at the scene, their expressions changed miserably, and several people felt a chill running down their spines, and quickly glanced around.
There was silence, deathly silence.
Only Keke turned a pair of big smart eyes and looked around nonchalantly.
Xiao Chen lowered his voice to the extreme low and said, "He's so powerful, can't we use other forces to deal with him?"
This is a suggestion, but also an inquiry, why the dragons suddenly regained their former strength in those days, and he is still confused, and he knows nothing about the mysterious dead city.
"Dead City...... Dead City!" the old man sighed lightly and said, "Everything is because of the dead city, think about it, the devil has escaped from it." ”
The old man didn't say much, in fact, they didn't know, and the information they got was handed down by their ancestors. Every few hundred years, after the Dragon Island is briefly unsealed, the dragons will briefly recover their supernatural powers on Halloween Day, and then attack the dead city, wanting to destroy the Divine Monument, as for the ultimate secret, outsiders cannot know.
As for the ancient legendary holy artifacts such as brass gossip, jet-black iron seals, and golden halberds, they also did not know which area of Dragon Island they were hidden in. There are many secrets hidden in the mysterious Dragon Island, and even if you try to dig hard, it is difficult to find out thoroughly, and it seems that there are big secrets hidden here.
"The Divine Monument of Dragon Island should be the key clue......" Dugu Sword Demon muttered to himself.
"The plague was so sudden, and disaster struck again. The old woman's old face became even older, and she said, "There is a strange power on the Dragon Island that suppresses the power of the god level, although it is mainly aimed at the dragon race, but other races have also been greatly affected. From the beginning of our ancestors' generation to the present, no matter how talented a person is, it will be difficult for them to cultivate to the Triple Heaven of the Realm of Knowing Tibet. "It's clear that the people on Dragon Island don't have enough strength to fight the devil.
At this moment, there was a sound of breaking the sky at the entrance of the village, and everyone clearly saw several brilliant sword qi rushing into the sky, and at the same time there were bursts of angry scolding, as well as the loud sound of buildings crumbling, and then the screams came, and then there was a deafening dragon roar.
The old woman, the old man, Xiao Chen, the Dugu Sword Demon, and the little fat man quickly rushed out of the courtyard and rushed towards the entrance of the village.
I saw several torn corpses at the entrance of the village, blood gurgling and scattering among the collapsed houses, and a woman was in the colorful mist, her body was trembling slightly, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out, apparently she was injured. The Purple Dragon King was by her side, and it also had scars on its body, and there were some scales and dragon blood on the ground.
With a sad look on their faces, the old woman pieced together the corpses on the ground, and then looked at the woman in the colorful mist and the Purple Dragon King.
"Is this a dragon king?"
"Yes. ”
"What just happened?"
I have to say that the woman in the colorful mist is very mysterious, Xiao Chen has met her several times but has not been able to see her true face, her body has always been surrounded by mist, which looks unearthly and mysterious.
"Just now, a person with a very strong yin qi came here......"
With the narration of the woman in the colorful mist, everyone quickly guessed that it was the evil ghost! Although he was still in the weak period, he was still powerful and terrifying, and the three people at the entrance of the village were torn apart by him almost instantly, and the woman who controlled the time god was also seriously injured, if it wasn't for the blood of the Purple Dragon King who was injured at the critical moment and accidentally pierced through the evil ghost, she would also be torn apart in a moment.
"The blood of the dragon king can actually restrain him, this is really good news. The old woman's cheeks, which were as wrinkled as orange peels, trembled, and she could see that she was so excited, but it looked a little terrifying, and her wrinkled cheeks were almost spasmodic, and she giggled and laughed: "This is great news, and this may be the only way we can defeat him." We only knew that the blood of the Hydra Dragon King could lift our curse, but we didn't expect that it could also restrain the evil spirits, quack......"
