Chapter 361: A Divine Beast from Home
Mo Ming opened his mouth wide, couldn't close it for a long time, and the picture that came back from his consciousness made it shocked beyond measure, only to see the foot of the vast mountain, a black claw stretched out from the mountain rock, each of the eight claw toes has a diameter of nearly 100 meters, thick and powerful, pressed on the stone ground and even deeply trapped in it, while the rest of the place seems to be pressed under the mountain, but just from the claw toes that stretch out of the mountain, the body of this huge monster that is pressed under the mountain is at least thousands of meters away, and what makes him even more shocked is that in the middle of the claw toes like a small mountain range, there is a row of corpses of spirit beasts neatly placedγ
"What kind of monster is pressed under this mountain peak!" Mo Ming sighed in his heart, and then his pupils contracted suddenly, and he clearly saw a new black smoke body peeling off from above the black claw toe exposed outside the mountain, burrowing into the head of a spirit beast below, and this spirit beast that was obviously dead seemed to be resurrected, and suddenly opened its eyes, stood up, and left the Claw Toe Mountain Range, and disappeared into the mountain forest.
"These black smoke bodies are actually detached from this monster's body!" Mo Ming's heart was shocked, the small black smoke body was like a pinch of dust falling from the ivory body compared to this huge monster, such a huge monster body, how many black smoke bodies could be separated, Mo Ming couldn't imagine it.
From Mo Ming's divine consciousness sharing, Yan Rui also saw this terrifying scene, and was speechless in shock, it even found the partner it once knew and the missing powerhouse in the spirit beast forest among the rows of spirit beast corpses placed below.
"The voice. It shouldn't have been a deliberate attempt to lure us here, and then kill us for those smoky parasites. Yan Rui said in a deep voice.
Mo Ming's face was slightly gloomy, but he shook his head, and said in a condensed voice: "No, the person who spoke before should not be this monster, if it could have sensed our location before, there are so many spirit beasts here that are parasitized, it can completely dispatch these spirit beasts that have been successfully parasitized to besiege us, and then kill us, and then drag the corpse back here." And why bother. Deliberately lure us over. β
Mo Ming's eyes looked at the monster that was suppressed at the bottom of the mountain, his heart moved, and he suddenly said: "I suspect that the person who spoke to us before is the person who guards this mountain, and the thing it wants to guard is this monster that is crushed under the mountain. Have you forgotten? It had previously said that it was the owner of the island. And it said it was a prison, and I think it was this giant monster crushed under the mountain. β
"Hahahaha! The young man has a good analysis," Mo Ming's words fell. The protagonist of their discussion, the voice from before, sounded again, and there was a lot of appreciation in his words, "My duty is to guard this monster below, I don't know how many years, if you want to get out of here, then go to the top of the mountain, I will show you a way up the mountain, and I still want to ask you for help, young man." β
As soon as the words fell, Mo Ming noticed that the mountain beside them, which was originally covered by mist, suddenly parted, and a winding mountain path stretched all the way to the top of the mountain.
"What are we going to do, do we really have to believe it?" Yan Rui asked with some concern.
Mo Ming spread his hands helplessly, and said, "Do you think we have any other way to get out of here than to believe in it? And that is where the source of the black smoke is, if it discovers our existence, do you think we can get out alive?"
Yan Rui helplessly glanced at the terrifying claw toe at the foot of the mountain on the other side, her eyelids jumped, and she lowered her head stupidly.
As soon as he got into the abruptly separated mountain road, Mo Ming suddenly felt as if he was in a cloud and fog, except for a mountain road that led directly to the top of the mountain, the surrounding environment was all shrouded in a white mist.
Yan Rui opened a bird's beak and peeked curiously into the thick mist beside him.
"I advise you not to touch these fogs, the fog on the mountain is a hundred times more poisonous than the poisonous fog outside. Just as Yan Rui's beak was about to touch the mist, the voice from before sounded again.
Yan Rui looked startled, as if he was caught by the door, and the bird's beak quickly retracted, with a panicked expression.
"The reason why the spirit beasts below who are parasitized by the black smoke body can't go up the mountain is precisely because of the existence of these poisonous mists, and what these mists contain is the poison emitted from my body, little bird, don't say it's you, it's the old Yama thing of your clan, if I don't open the way for it, it won't be able to come up either. The old voice said triumphantly.
"Do you know my grandfather?" Yan Rui's eyes suddenly shocked, and he asked suspiciously.
"Hmph, eight thousand years ago, it was this old thing who brought the spirit beasts outside to try to attack my poisonous mist forest, but unfortunately the old man's poison is not what they can imagine, if it weren't for the old man's mercy, I'm afraid it and the people it brought would have died here. The voice said angrily, paused, and suddenly asked, "How is that old guy now?
Yan Rui was secretly horrified in his heart, it was not born eight thousand years ago, but he had also heard the old people in the clan mention this action, and the spirit beast forest at that time had also encountered a crisis similar to the lack of spiritual energy today, in order to find a new way out and the possibility of survival, the strongest person at that time, that is, the patriarch of the immortal bird clan at that time, Yama Luo, led all the powerful spirit beasts in the forest to explore the only place in the forest that had not been explored, that is, the poisonous fog space that had existed since before they were transferred into this space, However, the poisonous mist that permeated the forest caused this powerful team to suffer heavy losses before they could see the true face of Lushan in the forbidden area.
Yan Rui whispered this past to Mo Ming and Xiaozhi, and her voice was tragic.
"And after that?" asked Childish curiously.
Yan Rui's eyes swelled with a layer of sadness, and he said heavily: "For the survival of the entire Spirit Beast Forest, although many companions were killed and injured, Grandpa, they still insisted on rushing inside. However, the abominable poisonous fog always looms around them, depriving them of their lives, and finally they come up with a way to blow away the poisonous fog with a strong air current, creating a safe space for everyone. β
Mo Ming's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he asked with the same doubt: "I'm afraid the poisonous fog there is not easy to blow away, it's as sticky as glue stuck in the air, and the range is very large." β
Yan Rui nodded, and sighed helplessly: "That's right, it is said that Grandpa and they thought of a lot of ways to blow away these poisonous fogs at that time. But in the end, it didn't work out. Even if a method that can be used occasionally is found, it is denied because there is no way to use it for a long time, or the effect is not ideal, until finally an action when a powerhouse of the True God Realm is facing death because he is too deeply poisoned. That's when they found a way to get in. β
Listening to Yan Rui's somewhat heavy voice. Mo Ming's heart couldn't help but sink. I also have a vague guess about this method.
"That strong man decided to explode himself before he died, and the powerful momentum generated by the powerhouse of the True God Realm when he blew himself up immediately blew up a large crater in the poisonous mist area. In that space, the powerful air currents generated by the explosion blew away all the poisonous fog that filled the air, and squeezed them to the side, creating a safe space for the others. β
Mo Ming's expression was silent, no matter what plane the True God Realm powerhouse was in, it was definitely a super powerful existence, and it was a peerless powerhouse that shocked the side, and he chose to blow himself up just because he opened the way for his companions.
"But what they didn't expect was that the poisonous mist was very restorative, and the space that the True God Realm powerhouse used the method of self-explosion to break away was quickly filled by the concentrated poisonous fog, and in desperation, Grandpa made a decision, that is, to use the method of self-explosion to move on, every time he walked a distance, a strong man would explode himself, rushing away the poisonous fog in front of him, and Grandpa They walked in step by step. Yan Rui said in a deep voice.
Mo Ming's heart was shocked, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, the powerhouses in the spirit beast forest actually made such a sacrifice in order for the spirit beasts of the entire forest to continue to survive.
"What about later, did they succeed?" asked the little childish with a nervous expression, and a pair of big eyes also swelled with heaviness, and it seemed to be infected by the tragedy that Yan Rui said.
Yan Rui shook her head and sighed helplessly: " No more, I don't know what happened next, and no one even knows what happened after that, I only know that in the end, only Grandpa came back alone, and his strength soared, and all the other strong people who followed Grandpa into the poisonous fog area all disappeared, and then Grandpa suddenly retreated, but he didn't say a word about what happened after that, until it successfully broke through the Venerable Realm and was led out of this space by the laws of heaven and earth, and it was precisely because of this that the crisis of the forest was resolved. β
"That's right, the courage of that old guy in Yama also made the old man admire him very much. At this time, the previous voice suddenly sounded again, and when Yan Rui's grandfather was mentioned, he was also full of appreciation, "I didn't expect it to really succeed in breaking through to the Venerable Realm in the end, it seems that the old man's efforts were not in vain." β
Mo Ming's heart moved, and he suddenly asked, "Isn't the predecessor the colorful centipede that is rumored outside?"
The voice seemed to be stunned for a moment when it heard this, and then it scolded and scolded.
"Damn old fellow, I am a centipede everywhere outside! Let me tell you, the old man's body is a heavenly centipede that is one of the ancient divine beasts, and is specially responsible for guarding the divine beasts of the Yellow Spring. The voice shouted angrily.
Belch!
Mo Ming was stunned when he heard this, he had heard of the name of Huangquan, but he had never heard of the guardian of Huangquan, but he didn't say it.
"Oh, it turned out to be the predecessor of the Divine Beast Tianxuan, I wonder how the two big brothers of Niu Tou and Ma Mian are now?" Mo Ming's heart moved, and he suddenly smiled, and asked loudly.
"Oh......" The voice suddenly whispered in surprise, as if surprised by Mo Ming's question, and then asked with interest: "You kid still knows the two of them, but I don't know them well, but they are just two little ghosts, and they are not worthy of befriending the old man, but the two brothers of black and white impermanence are dealing with the old man." β
Hearing this, Mo Ming's heart suddenly shook, his pupils tightened unconsciously, and he was speechless in shock, he was originally just a joke, but he really provoked a great god, and he couldn't help but be in awe.
"I didn't expect to meet people over there in this world, no wonder I always feel a sense of intimacy in your kid. Tell me, boy, how did you get here?" asked the Celestial Centipede with interest.
Mo Ming's body was straight, and he quickly replied respectfully: "I don't know, I just remember that when I was waiting for reincarnation, the relationship was suddenly chaotic, I only felt that the world was turned upside down, and I felt that the underworld was about to collapse. β
"No, the people who can come here are the most powerful people in the world. How could you ...... an ordinary mortal," the voice muttered under its breath. Immediately, as if he had said something wrong, he hurriedly closed his voice and changed the topic: "No matter what, since you are here." Naturally, there is a reason for you to come. You just need to keep in mind where your soul comes from. β
"Yes. The younger generation remembered. Mo Ming bowed respectfully and replied, but he secretly doubted in his heart. What Tian Xuan said just now made him even more confused, and he faintly felt in his heart that there must be a big secret hidden in it.
"If what the celestial centipede said is true, then the wooden tablet standing on the second floor of the Tower of Babel is engraved with Chinese characters from his hometown. Mo Ming thought secretly in his heart.
"Can you please tell the seniors what happened here, and what happened to Yan Rui and his grandfather eight thousand years ago?" Mo Ming glanced at Yan Rui, who was staring at him on the side, and suddenly raised his head and said loudly in the direction of the top of the mountain.
The voice suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Well, since you have come here, the old man will simply tell you what he can tell you, anyway, the old man has not talked to anyone for thousands of years." So the old man will help you again, you close your eyes, no matter what happens, don't open them, the old man will move you directly to my stone room. β
"Yes!" Mo Ming quickly closed his eyes, and the immortal birds and unicorns on the side also obediently closed their eyes.
Boom Boom!
Mo Ming only felt that the mountain road under his feet suddenly vibrated violently, and a huge roar sounded in his ears, as if the mountain was split, and the sound quickly disappeared, and the ground stabilized.
"Alright, you can open your eyes. The voice of the centipede sounded again, only this time it became much clearer.
Mo Ming opened his eyes violently, and what greeted him was a slightly old face, with no expression on the loose skin, but what surprised Mo Ming the most was the eyes that were looking at them, hidden in the cracks of wrinkles, although they were small but bright, and their eyes were sharp, and they could not be looked at.
"Are you the predecessor of the Celestial Centipede?" Mo Ming looked at the old man in front of him in surprise, no matter what, he couldn't associate this person with the legendary giant body and thousand-legged Celestial Centipede.
"Why? Am I not like it? Does the centipede have to be a centipede?" the old man smiled.
Mo Ming's face showed a hint of embarrassment, his heart moved, and he suddenly looked at the old man in shock, and said, "Could it be that you have reached the Venerable Realm and can transform your human body?"
The old man shook his head and said with a smile: "You guessed right, but it's not exactly, what you see is not my body, but a wisp of my primordial spirit reincarnated here. β
"Reincarnation?" Mo Ming's heart moved, but he didn't dwell on this issue, there must be many secrets in this, but the old man was reluctant to say it before, probably because its strength was not qualified enough to know.
The old man seemed to understand what Mo Ming was thinking, smiled at it lightly, then turned his gaze to Yan Rui, and said, "Well, as for your grandfather, using the method of self-detonation, it did carry the remaining spirit beasts through the previous poisonous mist, but it lost some when it passed through the Sea of Corrosion, and when they arrived at this prison, there were only thirty people left, and most of them were some weak guys, and most of them were small guys in the Heavenly God Realm. β
"Impossible! The people in the clan said that all the people who followed Grandpa at that time were the top combat forces in the forest, and the spirit beasts of the Heavenly God Realm were only a few. Yan Rui exclaimed in shock.
"Hmph, in the poisonous mist forest outside, it is a special prohibition to prevent someone from breaking by mistake, the viscosity of the fog is so high, I am afraid that only the spirit beasts of the True God Realm can be temporarily dispersed by self-explosion, and the reason why those spirit beasts of the Heavenly God Realm can survive is also thanks to their low strength, even if they explode, there is no way to disperse the fog. The old man explained, paused, and continued: "But in the end, most of these guys also turned into corpses, that is, you saw some of the corpses at the foot of the mountain before, and all this was done by the big guy who pressed down the mountain peak, speaking of which, I am still your grandfather's savior, if it were not for my help, I am afraid it would have become one of those corpses below." β
"What the hell is that huge thing? And that claw-toe-like thing that secretes a black smoke like a parasite, capable of controlling the corpses of spirit beasts, and I've found that they seem to have a great hatred for us humans. Mo Ming frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice.
"Hmph, these hateful aliens!" the old man's eyes sank, and he scolded hatefully, then sighed heavily, and said, "Well, anyway, I want to borrow your power, and you will also come into contact with those aliens, so I will let you know." β
"Alien?" Mo Ming's heart moved, but he suddenly remembered the 'heaven' that had been said on the wooden tablet before. (To be continued......)
