081. Master of the Colossus, leader of the human race
"We want to know the whereabouts of the Colossus Order."
"I see." Xuanji asked, "Do you know what the Colossus is?" ”
"Changed by the immortals."
"Then do you know what an immortal is?"
Zhang Ming shook his head, in his impression, immortals are immortals.
Xuanji struggled to stand up, Zhang Ming wanted to help him, but he was stopped by his hand. "Ahem, there are no immortals in this world, but when there are more people who believe, immortals are born. The essence of the immortal is the combination of the thoughts, feelings and spirit of life, and the immortal cannot take the initiative to absorb the will and feelings of life, but the colossus can. ”
Xuanji slowly walked towards the statue of the Sage, "The average lifespan of humans living in the light of the Colossus is only thirty years, and before the black fog covered the earth, the average lifespan of people was sixty years. ”
The bland narrative exploded in Zhang Ming's mind, and even if his strongest will was to find out the truth about the black fog covering the earth, he felt his heart crunch at the fact that the Colossus was absorbing human life energy.
The light that shone in the darkness, the hope of all mankind, turned out to be another form of black fog.
"It is rumored that the Colossus is the creation of the gods, and the country of the Colossus is the abode of the gods, but when you know the true meaning of the Colossus, do you want to open the country of the Colossus?" Xuanji asked, he pressed a mechanism somewhere, a secret door opened, he walked down the steps, and Yuling and the others followed.
Zhang Ming was speechless, at this moment he was unprecedentedly confused, and even felt that indescribable fear had come to his side, if the purpose of creating the Colossus was to absorb the energy of life, then how could the god who manipulated the Colossus be the savior of mankind, the country of the Colossus was undoubtedly a trap.
Below the stairs is a wide, circular square, like an ancient Roman gladiatorial arena, with a long sword stuck in the middle of the square and an inscription carved on the ground.
The sword was supposed to be the holy sword of the Colossus Cult, and Yu Ling finally understood why the red moon light in the Fengdu was so dim.
Xuanji walked to the middle of the field and pulled out his long sword, at this moment, he seemed to have regained his strength, and his tone was no longer weak, "This sword is my life's work, it can suppress the power of filth, I have been corrupted by filth for a long time, and only by holding the holy sword can I use the power in my body." ”
He looked at the long sword, and his slender fingertips slashed across the cold blade, "Let's go, bury the truth in your heart, humanity can't lose faith." ”
Yuling patted Zhang Ming on the shoulder, took two steps forward, she couldn't agree with the concept of mystery, why do people have to have faith, can't they rely on themselves. "Even if the truth is hidden, it is just a boiled frog in warm water, and sooner or later human beings will perish, rather than die slowly, it is better to put it in the place of death and live again, lead human beings to see the truth of the world, and then rebuild their faith. The human will may not be as fragile as you think. ”
Yuling's words woke up Zhang Ming, and when Zhang Ming raised his head, there was only determination in his eyes, "I want to uncover the truth." ”
Xuanji sighed, "Then let me carry all this alone." ”
When he turned around, his body was no longer rickety, although he was still skinny, he was more than two and a half meters tall, a head taller than everyone present, and the cloth robe that was originally held on the ground turned into a cloak, and at this moment he was like a bone king returning from hell.
Yuling said to Ye Zezhen: "You go out first, and by the way, guard the outside, and don't let people in." ”
Ye Zezhen also understood that the next battle was not something they could participate in, and left with the only two remaining members of the exploration team.
Xuanji raised his left hand, the red starlight condensed above his head, and the palm of his hand swung forward, and the energy arrows drilled out of the starlight, shooting towards Yuling, Li Ge, and Zhang Ming.
The three of them immediately dodged, and clusters of energy arrows hit the ground they ran on, and they dodged while rushing around and towards Xuanji.
Xuanji ignored them, and the red ball of energy condensed in his palm, and then flew above his head like a balloon.
When Yuling, Li Ge, and Zhang Ming entered the attack range, the red energy light ball suddenly exploded, and the frantic air flow mixed with the wind blade surged around.
The three of them were forced to stop and scatter the wind blade, but they were blown away by the air current.
The next blow of the mystery came, and he held the light mirror of energy condensation, and shot out a crimson ray.
The fish bell, which had just landed, hurriedly jumped up, dodging the sweeping rays, and a mark was plowed out of the wall.
When they first met in the Ancient Ape Temple, Yuling faintly felt that the mystery was very tricky, and he didn't provoke him, but now he still experiences it.
But she didn't sit still, and tried to close the distance again.
This time, Xuanji did not hinder, let the fish bell approach, and then swung his sword against the enemy, with one third.
"I have witnessed the sacrifice of countless people, the Colossus Cult has carried too much, as the sect leader, I can't lead humanity out of the black fog in life, but at least death can't make humanity lose faith."
After all, he was a little worse in martial arts, and slowly fell into disadvantage.
Xuanji roared and plunged the holy sword into the ground, and the blade composed of red energy, like a fish fin rising to the surface, scattered around him as the center.
The three of them were forced back again.
He swung his holy sword to attack, and the crimson crescent sword qi shot away.
Fish bells either dodge or block.
The battle lasted for twenty minutes, and everyone was more or less hung up, and finally ended in a mysterious show of decline, he was really old.
Yu Ling and Li Ge opened the way for Zhang Ming and created a great opportunity.
Zhang Ming jumped out from behind Yuling and Li Ge, and stabbed Xuanji's heart with a sword.
The person who pierced himself in front of him had no means of defense, Xuanji raised the holy sword, Zhang Ming's resolute and painful expression came into his eyes, he showed relief, and gently put down the holy sword.
He watched each generation of Colossus warriors grow up and watched them enter the black mist, "Son, if that's what you're expecting, go ahead." ”
He pulled out a colossus from his bosom.
At this time, there was movement on the steps, and an old woman ran down, and Ye Zezhen chased behind.
Ye Zezhen saw that the battle was over, so he stopped chasing the old woman. "The Colossus Order is in your hands?"
Yuling nodded, after witnessing Xuanji's death, she was a little excited, "What's the matter with her?" ”
"She is a servant who takes care of the living conditions of the leader of the Colossus, although she is a servant, but she is very skilled, and she took advantage of our carelessness and ran down."
The old woman ran to the front of Xuanji who fell to the ground for the first time, she was desperate to find that Xuanji had died, the old woman wanted to look at the murderer angrily, but when she turned around, she saw Zhang Ming, "Captain Zhang......" She asked in disbelief: "Have you betrayed the Colossus Sect?" ”
Facing this woman who took care of him a lot, Zhang Ming bowed his head and said nothing.
How much the old woman wanted Zhang Ming to be able to refute her, but seeing that he didn't dare to look at her, and the sword in his hand was stained with blood, she suddenly burst into tears and whimpered, "You killed him, how can you bear to kill him?" Do you see his scrawny body, he has lived all his life under the torture of filth for the sake of mankind, and he has no sleep and food all day long. ”
