Chapter 36: The Tower of Babel
Long Yunzhou was shocked, after living for so long, it is estimated that what he saw today shocked him the most. Even if he suddenly knew that Emperor Long Qing had entered his body, he was not so panicked now, and now Long Yunzhou's mood can be described as frightened.
The invincible pupil power almost exhausted all of his true qi, and it only made the tiger attendants tremble under the Black Tide Moon Sword. It was the threat of death that made the tiger attendants feel unprecedented fear, but if it weren't for the fact that the pupil of the dark night slowed down time and sucked up the speed of the tiger attendants, Long Yunzhou was sure that those monsters would pounce on him and tear Lin Rufeng apart.
But now the scene in front of them is real, the tiger attendants are all bowing to the ground, and their entire bodies are almost parallel to the ground. Their pale yellow eyes reveal not just fear, but more ...... Despair.
If a tiger servant with no soul and only a sense of killing can feel hopeless, then what a terrible person they will be facing. Or rather, something more terrifying than them......... Monster.
Leng Rou slowly raised one hand in front of her, with an innocent smile on her face. But there was a majestic aura forming in the palm of her hand, and Long Yunzhou could feel that a faint light curtain was enveloping the tiger attendants who were trembling on the ground.
It was as if there was a thousand catties of pressure on the tiger attendants, and where the light curtain shrouded, the tiger attendants' bodies were almost sunk into the dirt. That is the majesty of a king, that is the power that can conquer everything.
"Young Master Long, I'll take you somewhere. Maybe you'll find it very intimate. Leng Rou blinked her eyes like a naughty girl, tilted her head and stuck out her tongue. If it weren't for the peerless power that she had burst out at this moment, she would definitely fall for this beauty's face.
Just as Leng Rou finished speaking, everything in the light curtain was rapidly distorting. The incredible speed of the tiger attendants compressed, and the sturdy bodies of the tiger attendants were mixed together like dirt. Soon their original form was no longer visible, and the black blood and white fangs were compressed by the terrifying force, and finally turned into an object the size of a bubble, disappearing into thin air.
Long Yunzhou swallowed hard, what kind of power is this, even more powerful than his own pupil power. Is this something that a human being can do? Even he, a descendant of a dragon with dragon blood, can't do such a terrible thing.
Think about how you look half dead after using your pupil power once, and compare it with the cold and soft face that is still smiling like a flower in front of you, gentle and watery. His heart instantly cooled, and the difference was too great.
Long Yunzhou was a little trembling, and he could feel how fast the teeth collided together: "You, you, you, who are you?" He could barely hear what he was saying, his trembling teeth and tongue almost glued together.
Leng Rou's hand that stretched out to instantly destroy countless tiger attendants suddenly grabbed Long Yunzhou gently, and there was a kind of sweetness and tenderness in her heart at the tentacles. Long Yunzhou was stunned, such a warm hand, could it be that a female monster could have?
"Let's go, don't ask so much. Long Gongzi, in fact, we are still very fateful, just for that red bead, we must also be friends. A cold smile can melt ice and snow, and at the same time, it also melts Long Yunzhou's heart.
He was dragged by Leng Rou in such a daze, walking in the space of the black hole. After walking for a long time, he began to know that he was in a hole. He probably fell from the rock wall into this hollow mountain, but he still didn't understand why Leng Rou was here, and what was going on with her terrifying abilities.
Long Yunzhou wanted to ask Leng Rou, but whenever he wanted to speak, under the shaking wind lamp, Leng Rou would answer him with the gentlest smile. If Lin Ruhuo saw that the woman who was trying hard to get a smile was constantly smiling at Long Yunzhou, a fool, it is estimated that she would vomit blood and die on the spot.
There are also many tiger attendants along the way, and the wind lantern can only illuminate the distance of less than an arm's length around them, but those yellow, orange and orange eyes in the dark can be seen from a long distance.
It seems that this is really the tiger servant's lair, or a tiger servant's hatchery, if it weren't for Leng Rou's escort all the way, Long Yunzhou thought that he would probably have died hundreds of times.
The tiger attendants along the way all bowed their heads when they saw the two of them, and Leng Rou also stretched out her hand casually, and then a curtain of light enveloped those monsters that were still terrifying in the dark, and finally turned them into a speck of dust. This terrifying power works very well, they don't need to stay, they just need to stretch out their hands from a distance, and naturally there will be a force to destroy the tiger servant.
Long Yunzhou is now admiring the five-body throwing to the ground, such an awesome technique is really invincible in the world. What kind of Zixiao fire is still looking for, just kneel in front of Leng Rou and worship her as a teacher.
The place illuminated by the wind lantern became wider and wider, and in the darkness it seemed like a bright yellow flower blooming. Long Yunzhou didn't understand why this was happening, and the scene in front of him was unexpectedly widened. Is it because the cold and refreshing beauty makes the darkness light up?
There was a cul-de-sac ahead, and a tall rock wall blocked the way. Leng Rou waved her snow-white palm, and the rocks immediately parted to the sides. For this mysterious moment, Long Yunzhou no longer had the strength to make a fuss, she was able to destroy countless tiger servants without moving a single hand, and separating a rock wall didn't seem to be a big deal at all.
"Don't be surprised, this is a secret passage set up in the dungeon, and this is originally a door to activity. As if he had guessed what Long Yunzhou was thinking, a pure smile spread on his cold face again.
In fact, she doesn't need to explain anything to Long Yunzhou, with the IQ of Long Yunzhou compressed by the smile of a beautiful woman now, it is not as good as a three-year-old child. As long as he can hold a cold and warm hand, he is very satisfied, and he doesn't care if there are any demons or monsters in front of him or the Black Valley Abyss.
Leng Rou was like a queen who had returned to the palace after many years, but her tactful eyes had a cold glow of scrutiny, and she glanced around at the dark cave mansion. A bright golden light bloomed under her eyes, even more brilliant than the golden light released by Xuanyuan Yu's Nine Swords.
"This, what kind of place is this?" Long Yunzhou opened his mouth wide, and the scene in front of him shocked him again. Behind the parting rocks, a wide avenue stretched straight forward, and tall bronze pillars stood on either side of the road, and beating purple flames crackled and burned at the tops of the bronze pillars.
At the end of the avenue is a towering tower of Babel, the hard, shiny body of the tower refracted a dull gray light under the glow of purple fire. The top of the tower was completely dark, and a low chime seemed to blow in the wind. The bells rang in every corner of the abandoned city, chanting songs that had been sung for thousands of years.
"This is the Lost City, our city that used to be. Leng Rou pulled the dragon cloud boat and walked on the royal road that could accommodate ten carriages at the same time, and with this road alone, one could imagine the glory of this lost city at its peak. The streets were filled with crowds, and traders were selling under the majestic bronze pillars on both sides of the road. And the king of this city must have stood at the top of the Babel Tower in the center of the city, overlooking the people who were subservient at their feet.
When I entered this city, Long Yunzhou realized how limited it was that he had just seen. The city is surprisingly large, and most of the towering buildings have not withstood the years and are gradually crumbling. But the wreckage that still stands can only be looked at, they are so tall that many of the buildings really can't tell what they were used for when they existed.
The avenue they were on was just a very ordinary road in the city, and along the way, Long Yunzhou saw several avenues crisscrossing him, and even one road was much wider than the one he was walking on now.
Bronze is the city's most common ornament, and the tall bronze pillars light up the world with fish oil that will not burn for thousands of years. The ubiquitous bronze head symbolizes an ancient totem, a totem that everyone worships.
Leng Rou quietly pulled Long Yunzhou and walked on the wide avenue, and the city that had been silent for many years finally ushered in two living people. But one of them had a complicated mind, and the other was looking around curiously.
"Miss Leng, do you say this is the Lost City? Is it the ancient city of Yue Kingdom?" Long Yunzhou looked left and right curiously, and suddenly a city appeared in the dark, and even if his brain hole was opened, it was not enough.
"Yueguo? Hehe, tens of thousands of years ago, in ancient times, there was no such place as Yueguo. He said softly: "This was once a beautiful country, bordering the sea in the east, and when the flowers bloomed in summer, the whole city was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers. The sea breeze blows through the city, and the bells on the Tower of Babel ring at the same time, and the pleasant sound that even passers-by will stop to take a good rest, it is a sound that can relieve all tiredness. ”
Long Yunzhou seemed to have such a picture in his mind, the blue waves of the sea gently lapping against the silvery white sand. People in the city sit in the white moonlight and listen to the melodious ringtones, bustling like brocade, and the water droplets slowly slide down the palms of their hands.
But that beauty is now swallowed up by the darkness of the day, the dust accumulates on the bronze pillars, and the mermaid oil burns alone for an unknown number of years. The city has been lonely for a long time, and even the former owners of this place may have forgotten their home.
After walking a long way, beside a pile of toppled rubble, it was clear that this was once a glorious building, and the collapsed foundation was twenty feet.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the rock wall was opened again. There is a narrow passage ahead, and darkness is still the main theme here, even if the mermaid oil can burn for 10,000 years, it will not shine into the darkness here.
"Young Master Long, go back along this road. Don't tell anyone you've seen me here, it's a secret from me and you. Leng Rou blinked slightly, and without waiting for Long Yunzhou to answer, pushed him into the darkness.
The rock wall slowly closed behind Long Yunzhou, and he could still see that the purple firelight was beating violently, and the cold and soft figure was in a trance like a phantom in the wind.
