Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Ancient Battlefield
Compared to the behemoth in front of him.
Yan Jing's size can be called small.
It's just that Yan Jing, who had already encountered Leviathan in the Divine World, had long been immune to the sense of deterrence brought by this physical disparity.
At this time, he realized that the "antelope" herd he saw just now was simply the offspring of this fierce beast!
This guy is like a poisonous scorpion in the mountains, carrying his own offspring around, and because it is so large that it makes people look like "antelopes" running in a swarm.
Yan Jing's attack with the Shuofeng Sword seemed to be easy to succeed, but in fact, it was impossible to intercept the monster's footsteps.
Detached from the monster's back, Yan Jing's observation of it was no longer limited to a narrow part, and he knew very well what his goal was.
With the lucky compass, he soon discovers the existence of the remnant soul of Xiangliu.
There was no doubt that the giant beast in front of him was one of the remaining beasts in the Hanging Garden, and Yan Jing was keenly aware that something was wrong with its head after a brief acceleration.
Previously, on the back of the giant beast, Yan Jing had seen the same appearance of the offspring, their heads were like a combination of beasts and sheep, but the sides of the head of this giant beast had inexplicably grown a large number of scales, and there were several more ribs in front of the forehead.
If you look closer, you can see that its eyes have long been shrouded in a thick black and purple mist.
This giant beast is constantly distorted due to the invasion of the remnant soul of Xiangliu.
No wonder the lucky compass gives a hint.
The remnant soul of Sang-ryu is in its body at all!
Look at its desperate behavior towards the southeast.
Needless to say, I also know that the area where the main body of Xiangliu is sealed must be in that direction.
Yan Jing's gaze fell on the long spiral horns that surrounded the neck of the giant beast, and it was obvious that the remnant soul of Xiangliu had also chosen the target, and it was likely that he was preparing to use its ability to break through the seal.
Gotta find a way to stop it!
Quickly realizing what the problem was, Yan Jing didn't plan to just do it and wait.
Miao Yingshi and the others are in the rear, as long as they can hold off this giant beast for a while, even if they can't eliminate the remnant soul of Xiangliu on the spot, they can let others follow and act together.
As soon as he thought of this, Yan Jing immediately sank, and the Shuofeng Sword in his hand was wrapped in black and white dragon and tiger qi, and shot out again.
Only this time, the target is no longer the back of the beast in front of you, but its forelimbs.
The wild ground in the hanging garden seemed to be similar to the swimming pool in the living community in front of it, and no matter how hard the mountain rocks were, it would easily break through them, so much so that nearly half of its limbs stayed in the ground during its running.
Puff~
The blade of the sword penetrated into the flesh, easily slicing open a long, narrow wound.
The crimson glaive condensed, and Yan Jing approached as he swept through the air, intending to expand the wound and forcibly stop the beast.
But as he got closer, he found that the wound was healing at an alarming rate.
Not only that, but the earthy yellow aura suddenly erupted, and the scattered smoke and dust condensed into a dust tornado in the blink of an eye, sweeping towards Yan Jing.
Yan Jing, who possessed the [Wind] characteristic, naturally didn't care about this level of attack, and waved his hand to forcibly disperse the wind, flashed several temporarily condensed rock spikes, and raised the Glaive Knife to attack again.
However, this fierce beast seemed to have sensed it in advance, and had no intention of entanglement with Yan Jing at all, and before the attack was imminent, it lunged forward, and its entire body plunged into the ground.
The soil layer that should be hard does not hinder it in the slightest, and even contains it in turn.
"Is it a talent unique to beasts?"
With the surface vegetation and soil layer blocking it, Yan Jing's attack was forced to fail, and it became difficult for the naked eye to locate it.
Looking back at the few figures in the woodland behind him, Yan Jing could only take advantage of the sky to follow.
If you have a lucky compass, you won't lose it.
Just as Yan Jing was thinking about how to force the beast out of the ground, before he knew it, the chase between the two sides had left the dense jungle, and the area ahead suddenly opened up.
Skimming through the outermost branches of the giant wood, what appeared in front of Yan Jing's eyes was an extremely strange open field.
The pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill ran down my spine.
Previously, at high altitude, Yan Jing had glimpsed this area, but at that time he only skimmed by, thinking that it was a special landform in the hanging garden.
But now that he was here, he realized that this was a huge ancient battlefield at all!
Only half a round of blood-colored remnants remained.
The beast walked through the ground, shaking up earthy yellow smoke and dust, and spreading over one skeleton after another.
Not just beasts, but also nearly ten-meter-tall giant skeletons and some indescribably twisted corpses.
They are entangled, and the weapons they hold have collapsed over the years, but their bones have survived to this day.
It wasn't because of how powerful these giants or monsters were when they were alive, but because they were all stone carvings, no different from what Yan Jing had seen when he first fell.
What worries Yan Jing more is the number and distribution of these bones.
They can be found all over the vast wilderness outside of the dense forest!
Traces of battle can be seen everywhere in the wasteland.
Gullies tens of meters long, deep pits caused by spell bombardment, and terrifying swamps with no grass.
It shows how tragic the war that broke out here was.
Yan Jing's guess was correct, the Hanging Garden had been broken through by the Otherworld a long time ago, and the immortals stationed here at that time had obviously suffered heavy casualties.
Holding the lucky compass in his hand and shuttling through the battlefield, Yan Jing seemed to hear the furious battle cry that remained in the wind to this day.
But now is not the time for "archaeology" after all.
Without the cover of the dense jungle, Yan Jing's extraordinary eyesight was able to give full play, and following the direction of the underground beast's advance, he noticed at a glance the extremely strange valley in the distance.
It stands in the middle of the wilderness, in the middle of the battlefield.
It's as if all the battles on the outside revolve around it.
Several towering peaks are surrounded by a circle, and although the appearance is different, the overall appearance is like a cage.
To be able to survive such a fierce war, to say that it has no special features, Yan Jing absolutely does not believe it.
Judging by the direction in which the beast is heading underground.
Nine times out of ten, it's the area where Xiangliu is sealed!
Since most of the fierce beasts in the hanging garden have long since perished, the heroic moves and even the immortals who were once stationed here may also have fallen in the previous war, so that although this road is moving forward in the battlefield, it is actually very stable.
Not to mention the threat of blocking the way, Yan Jing didn't even see other fierce beasts.
I don't know if it's because of the fierce beast in the ground and the remnant soul of Xiangliu, or if there are really not many remaining beasts in the hanging garden.
In addition, Yan Jing couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart.
If the immortals evacuated because the Hanging Garden was invaded, where did the otherworldly monsters that once invaded the Hanging Garden go?
As the valley in front of him got closer and closer, Yan Jing looked back to check the current location of Yu Zhen and the others, paying attention to the movements of the fierce beast underground, thinking about how to deal with this monster in the future.
At this moment, the fierce beast that was originally deep in the ground suddenly rushed out of the ground.
The speed soared again and again, and it rushed straight into the valley like crazy.
Before Yan Jing could figure out why it had made such an abnormal move, he saw a beam of green light suddenly rise from the top of a mountain peak in the southern part of the valley in front of him!
In an instant, several phantoms flashed between the clouds high in the valley.
One of them was a heroic move that Yan Jing had seen not long ago!
After many years, even though the main body has disappeared, its power is still influencing this world.
Intruders detected.
The counterattack from the Valley Seal broke out.
Later, I went to the dental hospital for a re-examination.
