Volume 3: The Source of Honkai Chapter 18: The Chain of Heaven (I)

The earthen walls in front of him kept moving down, and although they all looked the same, Liu Dongchen knew that they were going down.

Just like when they came up, it took less than a stick of incense to make the three of them come to the inner city wall in one go.

Looking at the mountains of white bones piled up all over the ground, Lin Shuang's frightened body trembled, and there was a smell of blood on it, but there was no flesh and blood below, the ground was full of white bones, piled up like a mountain, and there was a little creaking sound when stepping on it, which was very terrifying.

"Be careful, broken bones hurt people, don't step on them."

Bai Qiulian reminded.

This looks not normal, except for the bones, there is nothing left, the inside and outside of the two walls are separated by 800 meters, the inner wall is only more than two zhang high, mainly to prevent torrents, there are traces of artificial excavation clearly visible under the bones, but I don't know how deep.

Liu Dongchen originally planned to turn over, because the opposite side was the inner city, but the two of them didn't seem to agree, it was too dangerous to do so, and the inside could be seen from the outer city wall, indicating that the scope of the barrier roughly covered the entire city lord's mansion, and the three of them had never touched these things, and the ghost knew if there was a second barrier inside.

"It's really strange, the wall in front is less than a zhang high, why has the back become a city wall structure and it is still more than ten zhang? The short ones are more than two feet, and you can't see this side in front of you. ”

Lin Shuang really couldn't figure it out.

The more the three of them walked, the more frightened they became, because they found that there was no shortage of bones of beasts and animals in the pit of the inner wall, which was obviously there before the demons were summoned, and the gap between the two ends was amazing, and they didn't know if this was the palace, guarded so tightly, in fact, the city wall behind it was a dead end, surrounding half of the city lord's mansion.

"I'm afraid there's some big secret here, I don't know if you remember, when we were on top just now, we couldn't see this inner wall at all."

Liu Dongchen was not in a hurry to go in now, but leaned against the wall, groping for something carefully with both hands.

"It's weird."

Bai Qiulian also learned from Liu Dongchen, just came into contact with the wall, and his mind was instantly full of doubts, this is an incredible thing, he found that there was actually a temperature on this wall.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Shuang looked at the strange movements of the two and was frightened, could it be that they were evil?

"Shhhh This city lord's mansion is not simple! More than that treasure trove, I think this is the key! ”

Liu Dongchen made a gesture of silence, he was feeling the special aftertaste.

"Brother Xing, that treasure house is in the study of the inner courtyard where we were hiding at the time, there is a secret passage behind the black bookcase, I am going to challenge that monster now!"

Bai Qiulian found that he couldn't help at all, so he simply said goodbye to Liu Dongchen directly, and he didn't have much time now.

"Go ahead, take this guy away by the way, and leave the rope to me."

Liu Dongchen now mainly wants to think alone for a while, just do their own things, he always feels that there is something on this wall, and it is very uncomfortable not to study it.

"It's okay, I can go and crack the mechanism over there first, if you finish it, come over quickly, so as not to be discovered by those people in the Xu family!"

Lin Shuang also agrees with this point of view, each performing its own duties, and cracking the mechanism is also a brain-consuming thing, and it is a waste of time for her to stay here.

"Well, stay safe!"

"Hmm."

"You too!"

Seeing the two leave, Liu Dongchen moved his gaze to the wall again, and the place where his palm had been pressed slowly loosened, and a small hole appeared in the back, just as thick as his index finger.

"Madam, open it, they're all gone!"

Looking at the small dark hole, Liu Dongchen spoke indifferently.

"Boom!"

A miracle happened, the wall where Liu Dongchen was standing slowly opened a small door outward, the stone door rubbed the bones on the ground, crushing it, Liu Dongchen took a few steps back and gave way to the door.

Inside the door was a passage leading to the underground, and at the entrance of the passage stood a woman with a haggard face and tear stains on her face, as if she had just cried.

"How do you know?"

The woman stared at Liu Dongchen, just now she was really observing the situation outside through the hole, but she didn't expect to be discovered.

"Don't get me wrong, madam, the fragrance on your body is too unique, and in this ghostly place, it's really a little inappropriate!"

Liu Dongchen hugged his fists and saluted, he didn't mean to be light on the other party, he just happened to smell it, his natural perception of the five senses was beyond ordinary people, and he found that there was a hole here after following the taste, so he pressed his hand up to block it, which looked strange.

"Oh? You've got a pretty smart nose, come on, please. ”

The woman looked Liu Dongchen up and down, this little guy was quite good, and deliberately separated the others.

"Dare to ask who your identity is..."

Liu Dongchen didn't rush over, this may be the only living person in the city except for the little girl, if he can survive, there must be some tricks, he thinks it's better to be careful.

"I used to be a member of the Demon Emperor's guards, and I have been wandering around since I left the Spirit Bird Empire and came here."

The woman didn't hide it, she didn't bother to hide it, she hated the person who brought her all this, and if it weren't for her, she wouldn't be trapped in this kind of ghost place waiting to die.

"So far?"

Liu Dongchen really didn't expect this to happen, the place where they are now is on the east side of the Immortal Domain, and the Spirit Bird Empire is on the west side, and the distance between them is difficult to calculate, unless it can be done with a teleportation array, it is impossible for a normal person to come here for a lifetime.

"It seems that you are not an ordinary person, you still know the location of the Spirit Bird Empire, ordinary people I told them, they don't necessarily know."

The woman looked at Liu Dongchen again with interest, this little guy gave her too many surprises.

"My name is Xing Dongchen, you should know about the Xing family, right?"

Liu Dongchen reported his name, if this woman has any bad intentions, she still has to weigh the family behind him.

"Oh, hehe, or is it a little boy? It's no wonder, but it's a pity that the Demon Emperor guards can't have names, and I hope you forgive me. ”

The woman covered her neckline, bowed slightly, and invited Liu Dongchen to follow her in again.

"Isn't your empress beautiful? I've heard that there is a kind of Demon Emperor Coin in this world that is hard to find. ”

Liu Dongchen didn't excuse himself this time, and followed the woman into the downward secret passage, just entered, a large stream of heat rushed to his face, and the whole passage was full of torches, feeling a little bored, and blowing a loose cow with the woman.

"Then you have to see which generation it is, each generation of the Demon Emperor is different from ordinary people, detached from ordinary people, and once a close-fitting ordinary ornament can make the men outside snatch their heads and bleed."

Women know these very well, the demon emperor is not to say that it is in their Spirit Bird Empire, even if it is placed in the entire immortal capital, they are all peerless beauties, and every generation is the object of worship of these ordinary women, if they have that kind of beauty, what do they want and can't get? Even those big names in the fairy realm are moved by it and pursue it hard.

"So outrageous? Who is the one engraved on the Demon Emperor Coin? ”

Liu Dongchen was amazed, he wanted to go and see it, what a beautiful woman this must be?

"That's the Spirit Bird Demon Emperor, legend has it that she was the first empress who founded the Spirit Bird Empire, she is the first beauty in the fairy capital for thousands of years, and her strength is also unparalleled, it is said that she has just stepped into the ranks of the nine lines when she founded the empire, and she is one of the few people in this fairy capital who can step into the fairy road."

The woman likes this kind of topic very much, at least in her opinion, this is a topic that can show the majesty of the empress, although she is no longer a demon emperor guard, but this sense of glory is something that every person in the Spirit Bird Empire must have, and the status of the empress will always be pure and sacred in her heart.

"That's pretty remarkable."

Liu Dongchen looked at the woman's yearning expression, and was very envious in his heart, this is cohesion, the other party is indeed a person worthy of respect, but respect is respect, which does not affect his curiosity about her, he also wants to continue to dig into the topic of the other party, but he did not expect that the secret passage has come to an end.

Below was a large and spacious space, the size of seven or eight football fields, and in the center of the flat rocky ground there was a large red crater with a radius of more than two meters, in which hot magma flowed, and a black chain went straight into the sky, straight into the magma, and above it was darkness, and I didn't know where it led.

"This is the chain of heaven, it is something that has been handed down from ancient times, the legend has the power to penetrate the sky, and there is the power of the dark sun, but the legend is a legend after all, someone came to challenge not long ago, but he only took down a small box from it, but he seems to have found something, causing a tragedy in this city."

The woman shook her head, this legend is harmful, millions of lives in the city have evaporated overnight, and now she has to be careful not to be found when she goes out to find food, how could there be such a thing before, and there is not much food to eat in the city, if it goes on like this, she will have to leave here.

"Little box? Isn't it this? ”

Liu Dongchen took out the thing he found from the dung heap from his arms, and the person she said should be Xu Li, and this thing happened to be found from the City Lord's Mansion.

"yes, hey, I remember this thing wasn't eaten by that bull monster? Where did you find it? ”

The woman took the small box and looked at it carefully, it was indeed this thing, when she watched the other party feed the cow demon beast to summon the demons, how could it appear here?

"Uh... This is what I got from my friend, and he said it was useless and gave it to me. ”

The corners of Liu Dongchen's mouth twitched, he could only lie, and he couldn't tell her that he found it from the.

"I see, you take it, this may be the real power of piercing the sky, although I don't know what the power of piercing the sky is, but since it has chosen you, I hope you can challenge it, I will catch you below and not let you fall, before that guy was opportunistic and used other things to go up."

The woman handed the small box to Liu Dongchen, it should be different from the way to climb up by taking advantage of loopholes, maybe going up again can solve this mystery.
