Chapter 2: The Catacombs
"My lord, what about that kid?" asked one of the envoys, gasping for breath.
A pair of eyes were full of resentment, and the eyes were bloodshot. But he didn't speak, just looked at Litian coldly.
He needs time to recover.
Resisting the attack of the Howling Moon Wolf just now lost ninety percent of his Yuan Force, and this was still due to the injection of Yuan Force by the five people behind him, leaving one percent of Yuan Force.
He didn't want to let go of Litian, he wanted to be cannon fodder at the beginning, and he still thinks like this. It's just that he didn't expect that there would be such a loss before he entered the tomb of the Heaven Devouring Ancestor.
At the same time, the envoy also understands the truth that the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry. The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, let alone a teenager. He looked at Litian's appearance and knew that Litian was still surprised, and he wanted to recover quickly when he took this opportunity.
Neither side spoke, and the wind was calm. It's just that they didn't notice that the blood belonging to the dead Howling Moon Wolf was slowly being absorbed by the earth.
Suddenly, the ground shook. A hole cracked in the ground between the two people, like a fierce beast opening its bloody mouth. All eyes were drawn to the past.
Litian also reacted at this time, and he found that the attention of the group of people who supported the envoy was on the crack that would not break, and the thought of leaving arose in his heart.
"Hmph, boy, I advise you not to act rashly. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!" the envoy lost his initial smile at this time, his face was full of fierceness, and he said viciously to Litian.
It's really uncertain about the sky, and what happened today is completely beyond his imagination. He was confused about these things.
Therefore, he chose to stay put, but lost the best chance to escape.
But later in life, he may be happy with the choice he made today.
Moments later, a large hole cracked open in the ground, revealing a staircase leading to the ground.
"Boy, go down, do you want me to ask you to fail?" The Yuan Force has recovered ninety percent, and he will no longer stay, and immediately let Litian take the lead.
Looking at the mysterious steps in front of me, I felt like I was about to walk into the belly of a beast.
There are wolves in front and tigers in the back. Litian gritted his teeth, holding the idea that there would be a blessing in the future if he didn't die, and followed the steps step by step. The support envoys also lined up to follow.
The underground is not as dark as the sky thinks, and every time you walk, there is a night pearl embedded in the wall. With the glimmer of these night pearls, you can still see the road under your feet.
"Is this all true?" The sight on both sides of the path of the tomb was a splendor that had never been seen before.
The underground tombs are as dazzling as the imperial palace, and if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have believed that there would be such a majestic structure underground.
The palaces are towering, and they are not at all rigid because they exist underground. Shining like gold, it gives people an air of supremacy. Quietly arranged, as if combined into one incredible thing.
In front of each palace, a faint glow can occasionally be seen. It was the energy shield in front of the palace.
"Hmph, this is it. Boy, go in. The envoy found the tomb with a smug smile and urged him to leave the sky to explore the way.
As if he knew something, the envoy was not attracted by the palaces on both sides, but urged him to continue down the road to the tomb.
Entering the tomb, they did not encounter the obstacles they imagined, but went smoothly.
I don't know what material the passage inside the dungeon is made of, and it emits a faint fluorescence.
Walking in the forefront, he did not encounter any danger, and his previous fear was gone.
Anyway, there is no danger, let it go.
Thinking so in his heart, Litian couldn't help but speed up his pace.
This made the envoys and others in the back frown. However, the stable environment made them not take this matter to heart, and they also accelerated their pace and followed the sky.
"Boy, don't try to play tricks. Somehow, the envoy who was walking in the rear said this for no reason.
Litian glanced back at the envoy, as if he was looking at an idiot, and said, "I have no power to restrain the chicken, what other tricks can I use in front of you?"
The envoy snorted and didn't say anything more.
Walking away from the sky, he looked at the surrounding stone walls. At some point, a golden bead broke through the clouds and landed on the ground. I don't know how long it took to conceive, but the bead seemed to come to life, growing limbs and a head.
In the end, the golden beads turned into an old man with gray hair. That old man may be the so-called powerful monk, because he is in the picture and can do anything.
At the end of the picture, the old man lands on a mountain peak with a palace at the top of the mountain.
The old man did not enter the palace, but stood quietly in front of the palace.
But a beautiful woman flew out of the palace, stepping on a pool of water and moon, with beautiful eyes.
The two didn't know what to say, and they didn't seem to have reached a deal, and they began to move.
As soon as the two fought, the situation suddenly changed, and the sky fell apart. One ray after another collided together, and the scattered afterglow created huge craters in the earth.
"Crunch. ”
The picture is gone, and Litian is still immersed in the content of the picture, and he is moving forward completely by feeling, but he unexpectedly stepped on the mechanism.
The envoy and the others shrank their eyes, and hurriedly said, "Don't move, kid." ”
Even if they don't open their mouths, they won't dare to move from heaven.
"What should I do next?" asked Litian, tilting his head with a bitter expression.
"Envoy, let's retreat, we'll be dead when this guy touches the mechanism. ”
"That's right, envoy, only these brothers are left, let's retreat. ”
The few surviving people hurriedly suggested to the envoy at this time, they didn't want to give their lives here.
The envoy stared at the mechanism at his feet, as if trying to see something.
"Boy, have you ever been in here, why haven't you noticed such an obvious mechanism?" Suddenly, the envoy who seemed to have discovered something yelled at Litian.
"Are you an idiot? I don't even know what's going on here, how you could have come in. I can't even beat the three wolves outside. Litian couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Since you think I did it on purpose, then I'll touch this mechanism and take a look, anyway, my life is almost here. Eighteen years later, Lao Tzu is a good man again. ”
Tired of the feeling of not being up or down, he raised the leg that was stepping on the mechanism in the roar of the envoy and the others.
Suddenly, the surrounding walls emitted a dazzling bright light, making people unable to open their eyes.
Litian was in the bright light at this time, and he tried to open his eyes, but the light stung his eyes, and his eyes couldn't help but close again.
"Is it really going to be here?"
Litian felt the ground under his feet suddenly collapse, and a second before he fell, he unconsciously had such an idea in his heart.
"Retreat!"
The envoy shouted at the moment when he lifted his leg from the sky, and his figure exploded, as if he had exceeded his limit.
The glare came and went as fast as it came, and in just a moment, it was gone.
When the envoy's eyes recovered and they were no longer in a trance, the envoy stared at the Yuan Force Cover in front of him with wide eyes. Behind the Yuan Force Cover, a big hole appeared in the position where Tianyuan was, and the person was no longer there.
"Boom. As if it was over, the entire dungeon began to shake after the strong light, and the sound of collapse continued to be heard.
"Quick, break the Yuan Force Cover. The experienced envoy reacted instantly.
On the other side, Litian, who fell into the hole, clasped his hands at this time, which was very unhappy.
If you want to fall to death, I'll fall to death, why do you have to spend so much time, is it really fun to hang people's appetites, is it possible that cultivators have problems with their heads.
Li Tian thought he would fall to his death, but he didn't reach the bottom of the cave for a quarter of an hour. It was pitch black again, and I couldn't see it at all.
Perhaps it was because he felt the mind of leaving the sky, and a bright light suddenly appeared below.
"Poof. ”
Litian fell directly into the underground river. Fortunately, he went up the mountain and down the river with his grandfather, and this bit of water killed him.
Spotting the nearest riverbank, I started to swim past it.
The water is still good from the sky, and after a while, I swam to the shore.
He sat on the shore with a curse, but found a stone tablet engraved with words. But he was lucky to find that he couldn't read the words.
Although he couldn't read the words, he recognized the beads on the stone platform behind the stele.
It was the golden bead he had seen in the stone wall drawings before.
The beads float above the stone platform, and around the stone platform there is a curtain of light that envelops the entire stone platform.
There are nine steps under the stone platform, and it seems that in order to get the beads, you must climb these nine steps.
"Boy, stop me!"
Litian got up and was about to try the nine steps, when a human voice suddenly came from behind him, and he turned his head. It turned out that the envoy and others also came here, but the number of people behind him changed from five to two.
Litian sneered, and hurriedly ran to the steps while the envoy and others had not yet gone ashore.
As long as you get that bead, you are qualified to negotiate with them.
However, he seems to have thought things too simply.
Litian ran to the bottom of the stairs with a happy face and was ready to take the stage. The next second he took the stage, Litian's face changed suddenly!
It's so heavy!
At this time, Litian seemed to be carrying a mountain on his back, and his legs kept trembling, like a baby who had just stood up.
The envoy finally came to the shore, and his senses were much sharper than those from the sky. As soon as he approached the stone platform, his face was no better than that of Litian on the stone platform.
He found that his Yuan Power was gone, and he was emptied in an instant!
"Boy, stand down, Devouring Beads is not something you can have ideas for!" shouted the envoy, gasping for air.
Litian turned his head and said with difficulty: "There is death before and after, it is better to let me die on this stone platform if it falls into your hands!"
"You!" was speechless for a while. At this time, I won't believe anything I said.
Suddenly, a fist-sized stone from behind the envoy was thrown towards the altar.
"Don't!" the envoy shouted, turning around, his eyes as if they were about to burst into flames.
Litian didn't have time to dodge at this time, so he could only cover his head with his hands. But the stone did not hit him as expected, but stopped strangely in front of him and landed outside the stone platform.
Litian frowned and looked at the stone, thoughtful.
The envoy slapped the man who threw the stone, and did not speak, staring at the sky.
Litian suddenly retreated from the stone platform, and he picked up the stone that was blocked by the stone platform in his hand and checked it. Immediately, as if it was the smile of the young man of the Lin family, it appeared on Litian's face. He moved his fingers and looked up at the emissary.
"Doesn't seem like you're that good anymore!"
