Chapter 65: The Land of the Dead
Mei Ruoyu dragged Long Yunzhou tightly, as if she was leading a stubborn and unconvincing puppy. ← the top novel, despite Long Yunzhou's desperate struggle, he still can't escape the restraints.
Ever since he heard that Mei Ruoyu and the snake demon Murong Leng had reached that agreement, Long Yunzhou was completely desperate for this woman. He felt that he should do something, even if he really wanted to die, he couldn't die like this.
The Snake Demon and Murong Leng followed closely behind Mei Ruoyu, and they both forgot about the task of capturing Long Yunzhou for the time being. At this moment, they just looked around carefully, and the ice palace was full of crystal-carved pictures, this was a huge cave, and it was also a huge palace built in the cave.
Compared to ordinary palaces, this ice palace is simply simple to the extreme. In the white world, the floor is as smooth as a mirror, and the walls are all made of thick ice. Whether it is the cloister or the pillars overhead, they can't get rid of the aura of ice.
There are carvings everywhere on the walls, as if recording everything about this mysterious world. The snake demon and Murong Leng looked at the murals carefully, there were huge monsters, there were humans kneeling down and begging for mercy, and there was a demon king-like figure sitting high on the throne, watching the hundreds of millions of creatures trembling under their feet.
What the hell is this place? The Snake Demon and Murong Leng are both from the Demon Clan, and they know much more allusions than humans. But they couldn't figure out where they were at the moment, there was such a mysterious place on the Dragon Soul Continent.
"Don't think about it, it's impossible for you to guess what kind of place this is!" Mei Ruoyu, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around, as if she had seen through the thoughts of the two of them.
"Now, please be silent. This place is not a place where living people can come, I don't want to stay here forever, just shut up honestly for me, and then gently let go of your claws, understand?" Mei Ruoyu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and her whole body was full of murderous energy.
Although I didn't know what kind of place this was, looking at Mei Ruoyu's cautious appearance, the snake demon and Murong Leng couldn't help but nod in unison.
Mei Ruoyu looked at Long Yunzhou again, and there was a strange taste in her eyes. She suddenly said: "I promised you, I will do it, rest assured." But please be as quiet as they do. ”
Long Yunzhou's heart turned over for a while, and he no longer knew which of Mei Ruoyu's words was true and which was false. I had clearly seen her make an agreement with the snake demon before, but now she was telling herself to believe her. Is this woman still credible? Long Yunzhou chose not to believe it, he didn't want to be played with by others anymore.
However, he still nodded, looking at Mei Ruoyu's nervous appearance, he already felt that it was dangerous here.
Mei Ruoyu smiled, she smiled very sweetly, just like when she first went up the mountain. Long Yunzhou's heart throbbed, thinking how good it would be if what this woman said was true.
The road is getting darker and darker, and compared to when I first entered the Ice Palace, it was almost like I had arrived in two places. At the same time, the path became narrower. It was as if they had walked into a deep alley, and the corridor around them narrowed a little.
The depictions on the surrounding walls are also becoming more and more hideous, some depicting people kneeling on the ground, and some people wearing masks digging out their hearts alive. Or gouging out eyeballs, cutting off hands, etc., bloody and cruel. But every depiction shows the king sitting on the throne, smiling at the pain of the people, as if it were the greatest joy of his life.
The more the snake demon and Murong Leng looked at it, the more frightened they became, if the things depicted on the mural were true. Then the behavior of these people is simply much more powerful than that of the demon clan, and the things that the snake demon and Murong Leng did are nothing compared to the things recorded on the murals, and they are not worth mentioning at all.
The only constant is the cold, and the deeper you go, the colder it gets. Everyone's body seemed to be covered with a faint layer of frost, the snake demon's charred body had become snow-white, and at this moment he looked like a thousand-year-old white snake walking upright in the hole, only the two eyes still maintained their original color, which looked very weird.
Mei Ruoyu suddenly slowed down, and she raised her index finger to signal the three of them to be quiet. Looking at the nervous expression on her face, the three of them were a little surprised, what kind of place could make Mei Ruoyu so nervous?
But in the next moment, without Mei Ruoyu saying it, they also knew to shut up. Out of the narrow passage, a wide hall was revealed to everyone. The hall is five zhang high and twenty zhang wide, densely packed with coffins of various materials.
Snow white was the only single color in this world, and the cascades were placed in frame after frame until they reached the top of the hall.
It's eerie, it's like a graveyard. Long Yunzhou shuddered, what the hell is this place?
Now everyone understands the meaning of Mei Ruoyu's previous words, this is indeed not a place where the living should come, this is the home of the dead, and the country of the dead. No one knows what terrible the consequences would be if you disturbed the sleeping things in those coffins.
At the other end of the hall is a tall door. The door felt familiar to the snake demon, and suddenly he remembered that he had seen it on a mural on the way he had come before.
He had forgotten what the mural depicted, and there was only one way to the door. To pass through the layers of coffins, the eerie and terrifying aura suddenly made this road look much more terrifying, as if it was going to cross a mountain of knives and a sea of fire.
Mei Ruoyu didn't hesitate, pulled Long Yunzhou and walked towards the door. The snake demon and Murong Leng glanced at each other, although they didn't want to go, but thinking that Long Yunzhou was still in Mei Ruoyu's hands, if this woman played some tricks afterwards, then they would be busy in vain.
After a complicated battle in their hearts, the two finally followed Mei Ruoyu towards the door made of blue crystals.
Each step is quite slow, and each step is quite heavy. In order not to make a sound, the snake demon and Murong Leng had never been so focused. Even Murong Leng wanted to float over directly, but there seemed to be some prohibition here, the true qi in his body was suppressed, as long as he lightly mentioned the true qi, there would be a slight sound from the surrounding coffins.
Murong Leng and the Snake Demon decisively gave up this idea, they followed Mei Ruoyu's example, and walked forward lightly like ordinary people.
This is a mysterious place, anything strange can happen, at this moment they are already scolding Mei Ruoyu in their hearts, this vicious woman has not introduced anything before entering this place, and now the two of them are almost like blind people, afraid to do nothing.
Twenty zhang is not far away, but walking on smooth ground without a trace of true qi to maintain body balance, there is always a feeling that you are about to slide.
The ground was smooth like a mirror, and Long Yunzhou lowered his head and could clearly see his reflection. He looked around at the coffins, which were mostly made of ice. But the strange thing is that the ice can't see what's inside, and it's said that the ice is transparent, so it can't be that way.
Curiosity scratched his heart like a cat's claw, and he poked his head out to see if there was any dead person in the coffin. Mei Ruoyu said this place so evilly, he had an extremely impulsive curiosity.
The coffin was not covered, and Long Yunzhou had already seen a pair of feet. It turned out that there was really a dead person in the coffin, and he stretched his head forward again, and suddenly found that the clothes worn by the people lying here were so familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.
Just as he was about to see the dead man's face, he suddenly became a little nervous, not knowing what it looked like.
In the white coffin, a very serene face quietly closed its eyes. The smooth skin looks like he has just died, and the face that is so handsome that people will suffocate at a glance is so lifelike. Long Yunzhou felt as if he had seen this person somewhere, not long ago.
Suddenly a light flashed in his mind, yes, he had seen this person. Not long ago, when he looked down at the smooth ground, it was his own reflection.
At this moment, the man in the coffin opened his eyes suddenly, and a vicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Long Yunzhou's body seemed to explode, and countless explosions and thunders rolled and roared in his body.
Suddenly, his whole body flew up. The unclear picture in my mind also disappeared, and a warm current traveled all over my body. He stood still, gasping for air. In such a cold environment, his back was already wet with sweat. Large beads of sweat ran down his forehead, and green veins broke out on his forehead.
Mei Ruoyu was also in a cold sweat, standing beside him and shouting: "Follow me, do you know how dangerous it was just now?"
Long Yunzhou gasped, his face turned pale, and he raised his head and looked at Mei Ruoyu in confusion: "I saw myself in that coffin just now." ”
"That's not true, the coffin shows that there is a layer of mirrors. Don't underestimate that mirror, it's a dementor. The soul of a person can be sucked into the coffin, and the dead inside can be resurrected from the control of this place. Mei Ruoyu said word by word: "But the soul that has been sucked away no longer has the thoughts of the person before, he will be occupied by resentment and evil, and in the end your soul can only become a tool for other people's resurrection." ”
Long Yunzhou wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said with a snort: "This place is too weird, if you put Xiao Lengzang here, he won't become such a terrible thing, right?"
"He won't, he's safe. We're in trouble now, though. Mei Ruoyu looked around, and her eyes gradually sharpened.
Terrible sounds rang out all around, some like nails grinding things, some like the whispered roar of a demon, some like a scream in hell. In the surrounding coffins, one figure after another sat up from inside. There was a faint green fire in the hollow eye sockets, like a messenger of the soul.
And in the coffin where Long Yunzhou was almost snatched away from his soul before, a man who looked exactly like him and had green fire in his eyes had already stood up from the coffin.
