Chapter 56: The Tomb of the Soul
The light rain has been pouring for three days, and the Loess Plateau is full of mud. The deep ditches that can be seen everywhere are pitch black, and I don't know how many years and the past have been buried.
In such weather, even local residents are reluctant to travel in the rain. Although it is only a light rain, a life-devouring trap can appear at any time under the dirt road.
A gust of wind blew, and three figures walked through the rain with difficulty. The rain made their figures seem a little crooked, and the muddy road made every step of the way extremely difficult.
But the three of them didn't mean to retreat, and walked towards the Loess Plateau farther step by step. These three people are Long Yunzhou and Linglong Yutong.
After hiding in the ruins of Princess Yangping's Mansion for three months, Long Yunzhou thought that the search outside should not be so strict. After all, no one has been found for three months, and the Li family's search should be expanded to a farther range.
Long Yunzhou took his second daughter out of the cave mansion and disguised himself as an ordinary person and went out of the city. After going around in several circles along the way, it was a real relief to make sure that no one was following them.
Their destination was not the Thousand Wood Spirit Mountain, but to the place where Yutong said her father had left the spirit of the beast soul.
According to Yutong, it was a very mysterious place, few people would go there, and the place where the beast soul was hidden was very secret, and only her father and daughter had a way to open it.
Long Yunzhou was very eager to get the spirit of the beast soul in his heart, if there was a powerful beast soul that could surpass the same level to help, it would be tantamount to a tiger with wings. Even if his cultivation is insufficient, he no longer has to be afraid of those old monsters who are much higher than him.
From their feet to the end of the sky, the boundless expanse was shrouded in a faint curtain of rain. The sky seemed to leak a hole, and it started to rain and it didn't stop.
They do not dare to fly against the wind, which will undoubtedly increase the danger of revealing their identities. Only dare to walk step by step towards the place where the soul beast spirit is buried, and only in this way can he avoid the pursuit of the Li family.
Another three days passed, and they had penetrated deep into the heart of the Loess Plateau.
As far as the eye can see, there is not a single house in sight. I remember the last time I saw a place inhabited was three days ago, it was like an abandoned place, and at a glance, except for the rain, it was full of yellow.
This Loess Plateau is an unclaimed area on the Dragon Soul Continent, and this place is too desolate to have any possession value. Even those countries with very weak national power have no interest in occupying this Loess Plateau to expand their national power.
There is no grass here all year round, and the creatures are basically extinct. The humans who live here are hunters who catch falcons in the sky.
Although it may seem like a dead land now, many years ago, it was full of life.
From the deep ravines that appear from time to time, you can see that the white bones of the animals are almost piled up into a mountain. It's just that why these animals ended up dying here, no one can give an answer.
With a soft snort, almost half of Long Yunzhou fell into the yellow mud. He smiled bitterly, his true qi was running, and suddenly the whole person slowly rose from the dirt. The yellow mud under his feet seemed to have turned into hard earth, supporting him all the way to the top.
"Did your father have time to send the soul beast spirit to this ghost place before he died? I remember, you seem to have said that your father died on the battlefield. Long Yunzhou looked at Yutong with some suspicion.
Yutong nodded and said, "Yes, my father was killed in battle." However, before he died, he released the soul beast spirit sealed in his body. Once there is no restraint, the spirit of the soul beast will return here, because this is the soul tomb. ”
"Soul Tomb?" Long Yunzhou looked at Yutong.
"Yes, this is the Soul Tomb. Yutong turned his head to look around, pointed to the huge loess plateau around him, and said, "This used to be a paradise, but one day after the soul beast appeared, this place became a place of death. ”
"All the animals are very suitable for the human soul and they are concentrated here after death, and for some unknown reason, they will not be able to get out of this place for the rest of their lives. They can only leave this place until someone comes and takes them away. ”
Long Yunzhou looked at the white bones in the deep ditch not far away in astonishment and said, "Are you saying that as long as it is the soul of animals and people after death, they will come here?"
Yutong nodded: "That's what my father said in his last words, and I don't know why it's happening." He only said that as long as it was all the souls on the Dragon Soul Continent, even the souls of the demon beasts after their deaths would all be gathered here. ”
"The souls of demon beasts are relatively strong, and they will continue to devour the souls that are weaker than them, so that the main soul will become stronger. This is a cycle, the strong eat the weak, and when the main soul of the strong meets the requirements of our Soul Eater clan, someone will come here to collect those powerful main souls!"
"This is the sacred place of our Soul Eaters, and every adult child must come here to obtain his own beast soul. If you die in the mission, there will be no sympathy, and in the Soul Eater, the weak are not worthy of sympathy. ”
After Yutong finished speaking, Long Yunzhou nodded and said: "No wonder there is no one living around here, even the family I saw three days ago is a little weird, it seems to be ......"
Suddenly, he frowned and said loudly: "It's not good, since this is a soul tomb, there shouldn't be a living person at all." But we've seen people living here at least three times, which only means that our whereabouts are known to the Soul Eaters. ”
As soon as Long Yunzhou said this, Yutong and Linglong were a little nervous. They had all seen the methods of the Soul Eaters in the Medicine King Divine Valley, and the ability to drive the soul of a terrifying beast was still unforgettable.
"What should we do then, Yunzhou, are we going to get out of here first?" asked Linglong anxiously.
Long Yunzhou's brows furrowed, but his face was flat: "No need, if my guess is correct, at this moment, all sides of this soul tomb have been surrounded by people from the Soul Devouring Clan." We will encounter them when we move forward, and we will inevitably encounter them when we retreat. ”
He snorted coldly and said, "When I was in the Medicine King Divine Valley, I was not afraid of them even as a cultivator of the Illusory Heaven Realm. Now that I've entered the Illusion God Realm, am I still afraid of them? Since they won't let us go, then we will stride forward and take the soul beast spirit. I'll see who else can stand in our way. ”
He suddenly reached out and grabbed Yutong and Linglong's arms, and chuckled: "Let's hurry up, since there is no threat from the Li family's people here, let's fly against the wind." ”
A blue light flashed under his feet, and then he took the second daughter and flew into the sky. In the direction that Yutong is pointing, it flies through the rain.
Outside the house where Long Yunzhou and the others left two days ago, a thin old man stood in the light rain. Let the rain wet his body, and he is motionless at the moment.
After a moment, the earth suddenly trembled. The muddy ground suddenly sunk into the ground, and the sound of beast roars seemed to come from the depths of the ground, and the fishy wind came to the face.
The thin old man was still unmoved, as if he had long been accustomed to such a scene, and he didn't even move the corners of his eyes.
With a loud roar, a huge figure burst out of the ground. Then another ....... burst out twenty huge figures in a row, and then there was no sound.
In front of the thin old man, nineteen tiger-type soul beasts with a length of more than ten zhang roared and stood on the loess. On their foreheads stood a man, shirtless, looking burly and hideous.
In the middle of the nineteen tiger-type soul beasts, there stood an even more huge soul beast. This soul beast looked like a unicorn, but it looked like a tiger, but it still had scales on its body, and the roar quickly overwhelmed all the soul beasts around it.
There is also a person standing on his forehead, with a beast dress and leather skirt, a bewitching figure, and charming eyes, and he is actually a peerless beauty. It's just a fly in the ointment, her right arm was actually broken at the root, and it looked like a little bad scenery, which made her overall beauty suddenly drop a lot.
This woman is the Five Spirit Messenger of the Soul Devouring Clan who was cut off by Long Yunzhou in the Medicine King Divine Valley some time ago, and I saw her appear again here, but when she saw her eyebrows, there was a look of anger in her flattering posture.
The Five Spirit Messenger lightly fell from the soul beast's eyebrows and landed in front of the thin old man.
The thin old man hurriedly bent down and saluted, and said respectfully: "My subordinates have seen the envoy." ”
The Five Spirit Envoy didn't talk nonsense, and snorted lightly: "Are you sure that the appearance of the three people you passed on is not mistaken?"
The thin old man raised his head, although he was very humble, but his tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "My subordinates have been guarding this soul tomb for nearly two hundred years, and I can only see strangers once every ten years. Therefore, I remember that I am very familiar with the appearance of each newcomer, and it is never wrong for my subordinates to dare to guarantee with their lives. ”
"Good. The Five Spirit Messenger said with a smile, but there was an indescribable resentment in that smile.
She spun around sharply and jumped up to the center of the soul beast's eyebrows.
The thin old man hurriedly shouted, "Lord Emissary, the order passed down by the patriarch is to wait for everyone to gather before attacking. The patriarch said that this time he could only succeed and not fail. ”
The Five Spirit Messenger, who had already flown up to the center of the soul beast's eyebrows, turned his head lightly and sneered, "Do you think that I can't help that kid at all?"
"The subordinates don't dare!" the thin old man was sincerely afraid.
The Five Spirit Messenger's face flashed with anger: "Don't worry, this time, that kid's life is not only mine, but even the spirit of the soul beast is mine." ”
A beast roar sounded, and twenty soul beasts rushed towards the depths of the Loess Plateau, and disappeared into the rain curtain in a blink of an eye.
The thin old man waited until the twenty people were far away before raising his head, and he did not hesitate, and immediately took out a long bamboo pole from his arms. With a light slap on the bottom, a cloud of fireworks exploded in the sky, and then a bewitching dragon shape was conjured, as if swallowing clouds and spitting fog in the air.
The old man's shriveled mouth smiled lightly, and he slowly walked into the wooden house.
