Chapter 38: The Secret Realm
"Second uncle!"
Di Tian shouted, interrupting Di Chonghai, then turned his head to look at Dongfang Dexterity, and said: "Dexterity, don't listen to my second uncle, he has always been like this, he has no words." Those in there are not necessarily people from your family. β
Hearing this, Dongfang Dexterity's face changed slightly, looked at Di Tian, and then asked: "So, what this old man said is true? In that room, there is really someone who died inside? How do you know?"
In this regard, Di Tian didn't know how to answer.
Whether it is in his previous life or in this life, he has experienced a lot of life and death situations, and he has always had a keen sense of smell for that strong smell of blood. As for his second uncle, Emperor Chonghai, although he didn't have the same keen sense as him, after all, he also had a wealth of experience and experience, so it was not surprising that he would see the situation.
It's Dongfang Dexterity, a girl who is from a famous family, but after all, her experience is still shallow, and she has not yet exercised this sense of crisis.
After thinking about it, Di Tian still said: "Dexterity, there are indeed a few dead people in that room, and they have just died not long ago. Are you going to check it out?"
"Go. Isn't it just a dead man, and this girl hasn't seen it before. Saying that, he didn't even care about the two emperors behind him, and walked forward resolutely.
I saw that she angrily pushed open the door of the bamboo house, rushed in, and then heard a loud sound, and then soon saw her running out of the house. His face turned pale, obviously frightened by something.
Di Tian and Di Chonghai beside him glanced at each other, and just smiled bitterly, they naturally knew the situation inside, although they didn't see it with their own eyes, but the strong smell of blood clearly explained what a terrible scene was inside that room.
"Dead ...... Die...... There are a lot of dead people...... "Dongfang dexterous didn't look at it, and immediately pounced on the two of Di Tian, and squeezed directly into Di Chonghai's arms.
Di Chonghai looked at her like a frightened deer, his face showed a rare trace of pity, and he reached out and gently patted Dongfang's dexterous back, constantly comforting her.
Then Di Tian also followed into the small bamboo house, and as soon as he entered the door, he suddenly felt a thick bloody breath coming to his nose, which made people can't help but churn in his stomach.
Especially when he saw the scene in that room, Di Tian's face couldn't help but change.
I saw that in a small bamboo hut that was not very large, dozens of corpses were placed horizontally and vertically. Those people looked like they had just died, and the blood that was flowing on the ground hadn't even fully clotted. It's just that among these dozens of corpses, it seems that there are two groups of people, except for five or six unknown ones, the others seem to be the guards of the Dongfang family. Looking at their appearance, each of them died in an extremely miserable state. Cut throats, severed arms, and various wounds are clearly visible.
Moreover, Emperor Tian also noticed that there were many corpses among them, with only an extremely small wound on their bodies, or even no external injuries at all. But now they're all lying here the same, what does that mean?
It shows that the enemies faced by these people are likely to be far beyond their strength, which makes these elites of the Eastern Family die here without the slightest strength to fight back.
Di Tian couldn't help but sigh, his brows furrowed.
The current situation couldn't help but make him more and more worried about the situation in that secret realm.
Then Di Tian hurriedly went out, came to Di Chonghai and Dongfang Lingqiao, and said, "Without further ado, we have to set off as soon as possible." Dexterity, are you alright?"
At this time, Dongfang Dexterity had already broken free from Di Chonghai's arms, her pretty face was flushed, she looked at Di Tian, and seemed to be a little embarrassed and said: "It's okay, this girl is not scared, what can happen." It's just that as soon as I entered the room, I saw so many ...... at once people, that's why I didn't get used to it. It's completely fine now. Di Tian, I saw it just now, it seems that the person in there is really from our Dongfang family, it seems that something is really wrong. What now?"
Di Tian said, "Let's go to the secret realm first." Well...... Dexterity, there is one thing. Well, thank you for bringing us both here, but there are many dangers in that secret realm, and I don't want you to risk your life by going in with us. So ......"
"You're starting to ramble again. Dongfang Dexterous suddenly interrupted: "Didn't you know me on the first day, and if you didn't let me go, I wouldn't go?" And I'm not afraid to tell you that when our Dongfang family began to explore that secret realm, this girl was still the farthest to go in. With me by your side, you just have to steal the fun, and you're still picking and choosing there, trying to break me up. β
However, Emperor Tian was attracted by a sentence in Dongfang Dexterity, and asked, "Dexterity, what did you just say? You are the one who has gone the farthest, so in other words, you are very familiar with the situation in that secret realm?"
Dongfang Dexterous straightened his chest slightly and said, "Of course." But if you want to know, I'll tell you later. As for this place, it will not be long before the shift will be changed, and sooner or later the people in the lodge will find out what is going on here. The entrance to the secret realm is not far ahead, so let's hurry over. This girl wants to see what kind of person dares to do something to the people of our Dongfang family. Hmph!"
Dongfang dexterously took the emperor and the two of them to the end of the small bamboo forest, only to see a boulder appear horizontally in front of them, and several people stood at the foot of the boulder, feeling that there was a high wall in front of them. At this time, I saw a pool of blood left near the boulder, which seemed to be sticking to some unknown parts of broken bones, minced meat, and the like. Maybe this was a place where the intruders fought the guards?
At this time, Dongfang Dexterous stepped forward and said, "You two follow me and pay attention to my steps." There are several prohibitions placed here by the elders of our clan, and if someone walks around and attracts them, then I can't save you. β
Hearing this, the two emperors suddenly tightened their hearts, and they had to follow Dongfang's dexterous appearance, and slowly walked north under the boulder step by step.
Looking at the dexterous appearance of the East, it seems to be a leisurely stroll, and it seems to have some kind of inexplicable law in secret. However, Emperor Tian has never studied prohibitions or formations deeply, so he didn't see anything why. It's just that right now, they have Dongfang dexterity in front of them, and the way is also very smooth, without any accidents, and they soon arrived at the entrance of the secret realm.
The entrance to the so-called secret realm turned out to be behind this boulder, in a messy pile of stones.
It seemed that the stones were arranged in a haphazard manner, but Di Tian only glanced at them, and immediately felt that the situation was not so simple. These seemingly haphazard stones actually contain some indescribable mystery. This is a bit like the formations laid out by those famous and decent people he had seen in his previous life. It's just a pity that Emperor Tian has never known much about this way.
In the middle of the pile of rocks, there was a purple cloud suspended out of thin air, as if some kind of inexplicable light was revealed from it, and it appeared in front of the eyes of several people.
"That's the entrance to the secret realm, right?" Di Chonghai couldn't help but laugh when he saw the purple cloud, and wanted to walk forward.
"Wait!" Dongfang Dexterity suddenly shouted.
I saw that she hurriedly pulled Di Chonghai back, and knocked a chestnut on Di Chonghai's head a little angrily, and scolded: "I want to die, you old man." Don't you see that there is a formation here? Just rush in with such a big grin, I really don't know how your pig's head grows. β
"Formation? Just this pile of broken stones?" Di Chonghai scratched his head in embarrassment, it wasn't that he hadn't heard of the formation, but that thing was something that only people would hear in legends after all. In reality, he really had never seen it before. And with just a few broken stones in front of him, what kind of ghost formation can he come up with?
At this time, I only heard Di Tian say: "Second uncle, don't underestimate these stones. On the surface, they seem to be just a few broken stones placed haphazardly, but in fact, there are hidden murderous motives inside. Each of these stones should be engraved with special formation runes. If we don't understand the Tao and break in like this without permission, it is likely to trigger this formation, which will lead us into a killing formation. I'm not afraid to say it more ugly, I'm afraid that even according to the second uncle's current strength, once he is trapped in this formation. Most of them will never come out again. β
"Is it really so powerful?" Di Chonghai's face couldn't help but turn pale, obviously a little incredulous.
On the other hand, the oriental dexterity on the side, when he looked at Di Tian's eyes again, it seemed to be full of curious colors. He couldn't help but ask, "Emperor Tian, how can you be so clear? It stands to reason that not many people know about these formations or something, except for a few forces in the world. Even I, because I've been in and out a few times, have mastered some ways about formations. Have you been exposed to it before?"
In his previous life, Emperor Tian could be described as a person in the Demon Dao who "everyone was punished for what he gained", and he had almost died several times under the various powerful formations of those famous and righteous paths. is also fortunate that his life is great, otherwise, I don't know how many times he would have died.
But of course he couldn't say this in front of the two, he just smiled and said, "Hehe, I couldn't cultivate before, I like to read some messy books when I'm idle, and I once read information about formations in an ancient book." But this kind of formation, after all, has been gradually lost in ancient times, and even if some of the ones that survive now, most of them are not very complete. So although it still looks like it looks like it on the surface, I'm afraid it's hard to compare with the ancient times in terms of power. β
Dongfang Lingdexterity on the side couldn't help but nod her head again and again, as far as she knew, the situation was indeed not much different from what Di Tian said.
As far as the formation they encountered in front of them was indeed incomplete, a formation like this might be extremely dangerous in the eyes of ordinary people, and people would not dare to break into it easily. However, for some truly strong people, this formation is actually a virtual reality, and the maze and illusion in it are simply difficult to confuse the minds of those who are truly strong. As long as they break it with force, this formation can't trap them at all.
Of course, this is just for those peerless powerhouses, at this time, in front of the Emperor Tian and several people, this formation is undoubtedly still an extremely troublesome existence.
"Follow me carefully, but you can't make a wrong step, or you'll be in danger. Dongfang Dexterity admonished again in front.
The two of them hurriedly agreed, for Di Chonghai, who was in contact with the formation for the first time, his heart was still full of nervousness at this time, and he felt like the little daughter-in-law who was waiting to be married at this time, trembling, but it was difficult to hide the excitement in his heart. However, on the other hand, Di Tian's expression was much more indifferent. In the Tianyan Continent, the formation may have gradually fallen because of the war in ancient times. But in the place where he came from, it was not a rare thing. Almost all the cultivators there have one or two large and small formations.
Even if you don't know the formation like Di Tian, you can arrange one or two at will. When he couldn't cultivate before, he didn't have that ability, but now that he saw this formation in front of him, he couldn't help but remember. Although the few formations he knows now were not a big deal in his previous life, if they were put here. If you use any of them, I'm afraid it's enough to shock the world.
The two Emperor Tian followed Dongfang's dexterous steps and walked forward cautiously. This stone henge, which originally didn't seem to be very big, once a few people entered, it seemed to be magnified countless times for no reason, and it felt like they had walked for a long time, but they couldn't get far. Gradually, Di Chonghai, who didn't really believe how powerful this formation could be, couldn't help but sweat in his heart at this time.
"Xiaotian, how long do we have to walk here? This broken stone henge is obviously not that big, why did it walk for so long a day, as if it was still spinning in place?" Di Chonghai couldn't help but ask.
Di Tian smiled and said, "We are indeed spinning in place, it is estimated that Lingqiao was also led in by people at the beginning, and she didn't really know the trapdoor in this formation, so she could only take us in according to the route she had taken before." But second uncle, you can rest assured, this is just a very simple small formation, and it lacks some of the killing formations, at most it can only make people lose their lives in it, and they will not die for a while. β
Di Chonghai couldn't help but laugh dryly when he heard this: "You kid, you look pretty good." β
At this time, I saw Dongfang Dexterous in front of me suddenly stop, and at the same time heard a mutter from her mouth. The two of them couldn't help but wonder, so they asked, "What's wrong?"
Dongfang Lingdexterity glanced back at the two of them and said, "This formation seems to have been broken by someone?"
"Has anyone broken it?" Di Tian and the others were shocked.
"Did you attack the guards in your house?" said Di Chonghai.
Dongfang Dexterous shook his head: "I don't know, but the inside of this stone formation has obviously become a little different from before, obviously because it was broken by someone's strong formation." That person probably didn't understand this formation, but thinking about his strength, he was extremely strong, and directly relied on his own strength to break through this stone formation. β
Hearing this, Di Tian couldn't help frowning, although this stone formation is not a mysterious array, if you don't understand the trick, it will not be easy to get out of it. Especially if you want to break the formation by force, it will also trigger a strong countermeasure of this formation, and Di Tian thinks that his strength is several times stronger, and I am afraid that he will not dare to break the formation strongly. From this, it can be seen how powerful the people who entered this formation before them were.
"Dexterity, how long will it take to be able to come out of the formation?" Di Tian suddenly asked.
Dongfang dexterous replied: "Come on, you follow me, and I will be out of battle not far ahead." β
At that moment, Di Tian didn't say much, just followed silently.
The three of them marched in the formation for about a quarter of an hour, only to see Dongfang dexterous exclaim, and then saw her quickly rush into a cloud of light not far ahead, and then disappeared. When Di Chonghai saw this scene, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Di Tian, his expression was full of incredulity.
Di Tian couldn't help but smile and said, "Follow up, that's the exit." β
Hearing this, Di Chonghai also hurriedly rushed over, and Di Tian followed closely.
As soon as the two of them entered the light, they suddenly felt that the surrounding environment had changed instantly, and the stone formations that were originally arranged around and could be seen everywhere were now gone. Instead, there was a purple mist. When you are three feet away, it is difficult to see things clearly.
"What the hell is this place, what about the little girl?" Di Chonghai couldn't help but exclaim.
Di Tian secretly observed the surrounding situation and said, "If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid we've already arrived in that secret realm by now." β
"Thisβis this really in the secret realm?" Di Chonghai was obviously a little incredulous.
Everything I saw in front of me was covered with purple mist, and I couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly at all, and I couldn't see the figure of Dongfang Ling's clever girl. Could this be the so-called Ancient Secret Realm, an empty and broken place with nothing but mist?
Just when Di Chonghai was secretly puzzled, he suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting not far away: "Di Tian, old man, I'm here, come here." β
Immediately afterward, the two saw a figure looming in the mist a few feet away, it was Dongfang Dexterity.
When Di Chonghai saw her, he hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "You little girl, where did you run just now, and I didn't see your figure for a long time when I came in." β
Dongfang Lingdex grimaced at him, and didn't bother to pay attention to him, just ran to Di Tian, pulled Di Tian, and said, "Hurry up, we have now reached the periphery of the secret realm, and when we get out of this layer of fog, we will be able to go to the secret realm." β
With that, the three of them continued to walk forward.
During this period, I only heard Dongfang Lingqiao say that this ancient secret realm was a little different from the existing one of their Dongfang family. On the periphery of this secret realm, there is always such a layer of fog surrounding, and once a person enters it, it is difficult to find the right direction. So every time they came in before, after entering this secret realm, they appeared in a different place almost every time.
