Chapter 8: Elysium (1)
An Lan and the others went to walk around A, B, C and D, only to find that there was nothing on the screen.
It turns out that the task here is not the same as picking radish and cabbage, you can choose whichever you want, but you need to draw lots to decide. And according to the different tasks drawn, the secret realm you enter is also different.
"That is, on the Nine-Tailed Fox Star, there are many different secret realms, not just one?" An Lan was really surprised in his heart.
In fact, it wasn't just her, and the other four didn't expect that there would be more than one secret realm. If they hadn't had this opportunity, they might never have known that there were so many mysterious regions in the interstellar world.
Ye Ming said: "If we draw lots to decide where to go, our uncertainty will increase, and it is a safer way to start with the D level, and we can also explore the depth by taking this opportunity." ”
What Ye Ming said makes sense, they didn't take over this kind of secret realm task, no one knew where the secret realm was and what was in the secret realm, what would happen to them when they entered?
For them, everything is unknown.
And the unknown is often the most terrifying.
They walked over to the distribution of the D-Class mission.
So the question is, who is going to smoke?
Five people, you look at me, I look at you, they all feel the heavy responsibility on their shoulders, the pressure is huge, An Lan sighed, showing a heroic expression: "We are one person at a time, I will go first!" ”
But when she saw the results of her lottery, she felt very strange. The heads of the four came over at this moment to look at An Lan's aura, which read:
Elysium.
Then I heard a prompt, and several rows of big characters appeared on the D-level giant screen in front of me at the same time:
"Congratulations to the 520 Demon Hunting Squad
Coming to Elysium
Have a great trip! ”
The five men looked at each other.
Jia Shasha said: "This name is auspicious, it doesn't look like a dangerous place, it seems that this T-shaped secret realm mission should not be very dangerous." ”
Rhino also nodded and said, "Look at the name, the scenery there should be good, we should go on a tour, and we will have the money when we come back." ”
Rhino's words reminded everyone, by the way, what about money? Why isn't there any money shown on this?
An Lan found that there was a small button behind the task page, An Lan clicked the "Click me to see the reward" button, and many zeros appeared on the halo in an instant, and the five heads counted together for a long time before they understood: 100 million!
An Lan thought to herself, after this task is completed, won't she take a big step closer to the goal of buying a house!
Bai Juyi once said that the flowers are gradually becoming charming. What's more, it's silver for nothing? The five of them set off in high spirits.
It was still the staff member in white uniform from before, who took them to the secret realm transmission array.
The five people stood in the array, and the staff opened the aura and pressed the confirmation transmission button, and they heard a cheerful mechanical female voice say: The Elysium transmission array is open.
Then they saw a circle of purple light rise around them, and almost instantaneously, when they opened their eyes again, they were already standing on a wasteland.
Looking around, not only is it deserted, but there is also a faint layer of black gas on the surface. An Lan looked at the black qi breeding on the surface, and suddenly felt furious in his heart, his hair stood on end, and a sense of foreboding suddenly appeared.
"The soil is red." Tianming reminded them.
"Yes, the color of this soil is as red as blood." Jiashasha muttered.
"Red clay and black mist," Huo Yan said, grabbing a handful of hair, "this combination is really frightening." ”
The rhino's nose moved, then looked ahead: "There's something ahead." ”
An Lan asked, "What is it?" ”
The rhino said, "Yes...... Dead air. ”
Dead air? Saying this, the strange feeling in everyone's hearts went up to a new level, so they decided to go and find out.
The more mysterious the situation, the more uneasy the hearts of the people became.
However, when everyone climbed up the slope and looked down, they couldn't help but gasp.
I saw that under the hillside was a cemetery, at a glance, this cemetery had no boundary, it spread endlessly, the soil on the grave was redder than the soil under their feet now, the color was darker, and the blessing of black qi made people shudder.
Jia Shasha: What about the good fortune?
Rhino: What about the scenery?
Two of them: ......
Huo Yan frowned: "Just this place? Elysium? ”
An Lan only then understood the meaning of the name: "Do you remember the words that appeared on the screen after we drew lots?" ”
"Congratulations to the 520 Demon Hunting Squad
Coming to Elysium
Have a great trip! ”
"This is," An Lan said through gritted teeth, "what does Xiden mean by bliss." ”
"!" Huo Yan couldn't help it, "Isn't this just a pile of dead people!" ”
"The so-called Elysium turned out to be a grave pit." An Lan pointed to a vertical plaque with red letters on a black background at the bottom of the hillside, on which were written "Elysium, the Tomb of Ten Thousand Demons".
Could this be the burial place of the yokai after death? But as far as An Lan knows, after the monster dies, the body is completely destroyed and returns to nothingness, whether it is reincarnated or the soul is scattered, there will be no physical body, so how did this tomb of ten thousand demons come about?
Tianming mentioned that there is a situation where the monster will return to the body after death, and the body will not be transformed, that is, the monster has regrets before death, the concern is too heavy, and the resentment is too deep, so the soul is unwilling to leave the body, but in fact, it is no different from death.
If the body does not melt, it will follow the laws of nature, slowly decay, be devoured by insects and ants, and finally turn into a white bone like a human, so there needs to be a place to bury.
Therefore, these monsters were buried in one place by the demon world, and with the passage of thousands of years, they gradually accumulated into a lot, and eventually became the tomb of ten thousand demons.
An Lan looked down and saw that among the ruins, the spirit of resentment was rampant. After thousands of years of accumulation, these resentments have formed a powerful snobbery.
She looked at this endless cemetery, and always felt that there was something dangerous in this black air.
At this time, the bracelets of five people rang at the same time, and a line of simple and clear words appeared on it:
Mission: Bring back the beak of the Rakshasa Bird King.
The beak of the Rakshasa Bird King?
After reading it, the five of them were all thoughtful, they seemed to have overlooked something important?
An Lan retracted his gaze and said: "We all ignored one point before, only the name of this place appeared on the screen, but we were not told what the specific mission was, it stands to reason that this information should not be told in detail before we set off, how could we wait until we arrived here." ”
Tianming showed a rare look of annoyance: "We were all carried away by that 100 million, and we came in so inexplicably." ”
It's easy to say that these four who are short of money are okay, but even Jia Sasha?
The four of them immediately looked at the huge rich Jia Sasha.
Jia Shasha looked at them with a pair of big snowy eyes: "What do you think I do?" ”
The four turned their heads: nothing! It seems that this thing has a similar IQ as theirs!
If they can't figure it out for a while, they won't want to.
Since you want to take the beak of the Rakshasa Bird King, you have to have a bird, the terrain here is like an endless plain, at a glance, not to mention the Rakshasa bird, they haven't seen a single feather.
However, just when the five of them were wondering, several dark clouds suddenly floated from all directions, and suddenly covered the sky and the sun.
It's dark.
"It's getting dark?" Rhino said, "It's too strange to say that the sky here is dark...... Blame...... It's right. ”
The rhino seemed to be frightened by something. The other four people followed the rhino's gaze to the Ten Thousand Graves, only to see a pair of red eyes appear in the layers of black gas, and then, a group of black strange birds gradually appeared in the black gas.
These birds are densely distributed on the grave, gray-black feathers, white claws, and beaks as sharp as sharp hooks, and if they are pecked, they will not stop without plucking off a layer of their flesh.
Being stared at by thousands of pairs of glowing red eyes, the five of them suddenly felt their scalps tingle.
Jia Shasha said in a trembling voice: "It seems that this is the Rakshasa Bird." ”
Huo Yan sneered and said, "Isn't Miss A not afraid of heaven and earth, how can she be afraid now?" ”
Jia Shasha pretended to be calm and said: "Who said that Miss Ben is afraid, Miss Ben is not afraid of danger!" ”
Huo Yan sneered, and was about to say something, but Tianming interrupted him: "When is it, you still have to quarrel." ”
The rhino's nose moved, and he said, "As soon as the rhino nose moved, I knew that this bird smelled quite unusual, and it was not easy to mess with." ”
"The Rakshasa Bird is transformed by the resentment of the tombs, and of course it doesn't smell good," An Lan reminded them with a solemn face, "Everyone should be careful, this bird likes to eat people's eyes, and only eats eyes." ”
"What?" Rhinoceros suddenly felt his eyelids hurt.
Tianming looked at An Lan and asked, "This is also written in your ancestral "Monster Hunting"?" ”
Jia Shasha didn't hear about it, and asked, "What is "Monster Hunting"?" ”
An Lan was about to answer, but was interrupted by Huoyan: "Why are they all staring at us, but none of them move?" ”
Tianming observed for a moment and said in a deep voice, "They seem to be waiting for orders." ”
"Orders?" Jiashasha asked, "Do they still have heads?" ”
An Lan rolled his eyes and reminded her, "Have you forgotten what the mission said just now?" Bring back the beak of the Rakshasa Bird King. These birds have a king. ”
After thinking about it for a while, he said: "These birds are not ordinary demon beasts, looking at their organized and disciplined appearance, they are either controlled or have human consciousness, this kind of demon beast is the most difficult to deal with." Sasha, take your flying machine out, let's get into the flying machine. ”
The surroundings are deserted, and there is not even a sheltered place, so entering the aircraft is undoubtedly the best choice.
As soon as Jia Shasha took out the flying machine, the rakshasa birds flew towards them without warning, as if they knew they were going to escape.
The gray-black wings in the sky instantly darkened the already dim sky.
"Get on the plane!" Tianming roared. Fortunately, several people reacted quickly, and they all went in and closed the door before the rakshasa birds pounced.
An Lan was the last to fly in, and before he could stand up straight, he shouted, "Hurry up!" ”
Jia Shasha was already starting the aircraft, and the usual time of one or two seconds seemed unusually long at this time.
Jia Shasha once said that this flying machine was a defensive flying machine that her father personally selected for her, and it was said to be used to save her life in a critical moment.
I don't know what kind of mineral material is coated on the shell of this flying machine, and it is integrated with the demonic aura of her father Wuzhi Qi big demon, on the nine-tailed fox star, the famous big demon will be afraid of three points when he sees it, which can be regarded as giving Wuzhi Qi face.
Now, after only a moment's effort, An Lan heard the sound of the metal shell cracking, and some places had been pecked in, which shows how powerful the Rakshasa bird's beak is!
Looking at these densely recessed metal shells, everyone couldn't imagine how many Rakshasa birds surrounded them outside.
The aircraft finally took off and sprang out, presumably leaving the group of strange birds behind.
An Lan thought about the previous situation and said, "I feel that I guessed correctly, these birds have a king. ”
Tianming also said: "Yes, their actions just now were too neat, like a group of soldiers who will die at the first order. But where is the Rakshasa Bird King? ”
As soon as Tianming's words fell, they felt the aircraft vibrate.
Huo Yan asked Jia Shasha, "Your aircraft is about to fall apart?" ”
Jia Shasha: "...... Are you stupid? ”
An Lan made a gesture to signal them to be quiet, then pointed upwards and said, "There's something up there." ”
The five people looked up, but at this time the aircraft returned to normal, and there was no trace of anything abnormal.
"Could it be the wind?" Rhino said.
Tianming said: "What kind of wind can blow the aircraft around?" ”
Huoyan: "Maybe it's a tornado,"
An Lan couldn't cry or laugh when she saw that Huo Yan was still in the mood to joke, but she still felt uneasy in her heart, she looked at the console of the aircraft, and suddenly thought of something and asked, "Sasha, what autopilot you drive?" ”
Jia Shasha nodded: "Yes, is there anything wrong?" ”
An Lan glanced at Tianming, and the two of them walked towards the console at the same time, looking out through the glass front window.
An Lan turned to look at the three behind him and said, "We are returning to the direction of the Ten Thousand Graves." ”
"What?!" The three spoke in unison.
Tianming looked up: "It seems that the thing on the flying machine is the Rakshasa Bird King." ”
Jia Shasha said: "You mean, a bird changed the course of my aircraft?!" What a strange bird this is! ”
Demon weapons are attached to demonic power to enhance their comprehensive ability, so the weight and mass are different from simple mechanical aircraft, so they are used by monsters as a means of transportation and defensive weapons.
In addition, the demonic power attached to Jia Shasha's flying machine is not hers, but her father's, and the comprehensive strength in all aspects is higher. However, the Rakshasa Bird King was not afraid of the breath left on the flying machine by the Great Demon of Wuzhi Qi, and easily took them away with the flying machine, which means that it was not afraid of Wuzhi Qi!
Huo Yan walked to the window and glanced at it, and said anxiously, "It should want to take us back to the Ten Thousand Demon Graveyard now, and then attack." ”
As soon as everyone thought of going back, they would see the flock of strange birds that had just covered the sky, and their hearts were extremely uncomfortable. And those rakshasa birds are so numerous, it's really tricky.
"We can't sit still," said the trident as he appeared in Rhino's hand, "and the Rhino goes up and plugs this beast down!" ”
Tianming stopped him, and Huo Yan advised him not to be overpowered, and any of us here who went out alone would not be its opponent, but would only be torn to pieces by it.
The rhino's trident slammed into the ground and said indignantly: "Then what do you say? ”
Jia Shasha said distressedly: "Don't pestle, this flying machine is the only life saver we have now." ”
"It's too late." Tianming had been observing the movement ahead, and as soon as he said this, several people gathered around, and the group of strange birds were already waiting in front of them, as if they were confident that the Rakshasa Bird King would bring their prey back.
An Lan immediately decided: "Sasha collects the aircraft, let's go out!" ”
Everyone understood what An Lan meant, if they continued to stay in the aircraft, they would definitely be surrounded by the bird tide, and in the end, they would be unable to fly with wings and be divided by the flock of birds!
But if at this moment, while the Rakshasa Bird King has not yet joined the bird tide, they will still have a chance to rush out!
After saying that it was too late, the aircraft disappeared suddenly, and after the five people came out, they rushed forward from five different places according to the agreed plan.
I didn't want the bird king to react very quickly, and he chased after him after a turn in the air, and at the same time, the bird tide not far away also began to swarm in the same direction.
The sound of the birds flapping their wings was heavy and muffled, as if even the air had become a little thinner, making people feel breathless.
