Chapter 36: The Boulder Barrier
The fire burned so beautifully, it was like the end of the darkness was lit.
When the flames were gradually extinguished and cooled, the five of them could finally go downhill without any worries, just when they were about to reach the bottom of the slope, the giant stonehenge in front of them actually moved, and the small boulders of different shapes around the array were suspended, and there was an enchantment in front of the slope that instantly lit up like a net to block their way.
"It seems that he deliberately didn't let us pass, and the Evil Devourer went to break that array." Thunder Tiger said domineeringly.
"Haha, it's been a long time since I've had such a fun day." The Evil Devourer pinched his fingertips, whether it was breaking the enchantment or breaking the formation, it was as simple as eating for him, "That's not right. "The Evil Devourer pinched his hand again and counted it, it seems that this barrier is not so simple, if it is so easy to break, how to resist the many demons hidden in the desert.
However, the Evil Devourer, who was obsessed with all kinds of spells, confidently drew a spell and pasted it towards the enchantment, and the spells on the enchantment turned slowly, and the white light like silk threads turned red, but unfortunately the spell was burned to ashes in an instant, and the giant stone henge in front of it actually emitted a dark red light towards this side, which looked a little infiltrating.
The Evil Devourer was unwilling, and drew a more powerful spell again, with other spells and muttering spells, I didn't expect this enchantment to fight back, an unknown force attacked the Evil Devourer and fell to the ground, vomiting blood, the Evil Devouring Lord was not convinced, and wanted to cast a spell again, but was stopped by Xiao Qingqian, "You don't want to die, I think this must not be that simple, the man-eating insects on this slope must also be to prevent the people on this side of the wasteland from passing, and it will definitely not work hard like this." ”
Xiao Qingqian stood up and stared at this enchantment, she lightly touched her fingertips to the enchantment, and when she was about to touch it, her hand suddenly stopped, she noticed the Stonehenge in front of her, those boulders were exuding red energy, and it was still daytime on the side of Stonehenge, she looked back and saw that it was completely dark on the slope, this enchantment not only blocked people or other creatures from passing, but also blocked the night, "Look at the Stonehenge over there, it seems to be in the same vein as this enchantment, Could it be that Stonehenge is powering the barrier? ”
"Just try it." The Evil Devourer urged the spell again, this time he did not attack the enchantment but attacked straight through the enchantment towards Stonehenge, a stronger force instantly counterattacked back, and the Evil Devourer was heavily injured again, "It's the ghost ...... that Stonehenge" The Evil Devourer struggled, he didn't believe that there was a formation that could stump him, and if it didn't break it, what face would it have.
"If you can't do it, don't force it, it's more important to keep your life." Xiao Qingqian saw him fighting so hard and hurriedly dissuaded, "Wipe the blood from your chin." ”
Unexpectedly, the Thunder Roaring Tiger added again: "The devouring evil can't break this formation, but what should I do?" ”
"Who said I couldn't break it!" The Evil Devourer immediately stood up, nothing else can be said, but it can't be impossible to break the formation.
Xiao Qingqian hurriedly stopped again: "Hey! You rest! Let's take a break and think of something else. "I didn't expect to fall into trouble again, and I thought I could leave easily.
Just when everyone was silent, the dark night began to invade the slope, the kind of screaming and roaring sound rattling over their heads, not only that, but the night also frantically hit the enchantment, rubbing out "squeak" lightning, and the giant stonehenge in front of it did not move except for the eight boulders in the middle, and the rest of the stones of different shapes were suspended, jointly resisting the invasion of this night.
In this case, Xiao Qingqian and the others had to temporarily retreat to the side, such a huge and dark night could not fight against the enchantment and Stonehenge, and the five of them could only think of another way. Xiao Qingqian unconsciously took out the astrolabe from her pocket again, and now as soon as there is something that cannot be solved, she subconsciously takes the astrolabe out to take a look, hoping that the path indicated by the astrolabe is not wrong, it can be said that her only hope is this astrolabe.
The Evil Devourer's eyes lit up when he saw the astrolabe, "There is a way to break this barrier. Everyone's eyes were once again focused on the Evil Eater.
"What's the solution, say it quickly!" Thunder Tiger urged.
The Evil Devourer pretended to be deep, "That has to be used by Miss Xiao's astrolabe." ”
Xiao Qingqian was puzzled: "What are you going to do?" ”
"Just lend me it, and I'll want you to see how this barrier is shattered." The Evil Eater seems to have regained his spirits. Although he didn't know what the Evil Devourer wanted the astrolabe to do, Xiao Qingqian still gave him the astrolabe, and now he couldn't think of a better way, so it was better to let him try it.
After getting the astrolabe, the Evil Devourer regrouped his momentum, and recited a spell that no one could understand at the astrolabe, but he didn't expect the astrolabe to make him move, and flew outside the enchantment and blocked the energy emitted by Stonehenge, and the Evil Devourer took the opportunity to redraw the spell and broke the enchantment in one fell swoop, only to hear a "clang" The enchantment was really broken, and the boulder suspended in Stonehenge instantly fell to the ground.
Just as everyone was excited, the night was like thick ink quickly rendering the broken enchantment, and the day over there was occupied by the rolling night in an instant, gradually losing time, Xiao Qingqian stared at the darkening sky and didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, and his heart was faintly uneasy again.
The Evil Devourer returned the astrolabe to Xiao Qingqian, and after breaking the barrier, he felt that he had finally saved his reputation, and strode everyone across the barrier to Stonehenge to find out. The road at the bottom of the slope was not easy to walk, Xiao Qingqian helped the blind man to walk over, looking at the slightly joyful backs of the three of them, hoping that everything would be good and smooth.
Although the boulders in Stonehenge have different shapes, it is not difficult to see the traces of human carving, could it be that there are really other people in this wasteland? Xiao Qing looked at the rough carving marks of these boulders, and really couldn't figure out how the boulders, which weighed not thousands of catties but also weighed hundreds of catties, were placed in a formation, if this array and the enchantment were to block the night, and now that the enchantment was broken, how would the people who built this enchantment respond? The night is still surging towards the mountains ahead, and it seems that the night will not disperse so quickly for a while, Xiao Qingqian suggested resting in place, sleeping and recuperating before continuing to hurry, it is time to take a breath after running for so long.
General Guo jumped down from a boulder, he still wanted to stand on a high point to explore the road and continue to hurry, after all, out of the enchantment, everything felt different, it was like escaping from the endless desert cage, and even felt that even the air was moist, there must be more interesting things ahead, and he couldn't suppress the mood of wanting to continue walking, but when he considered that Xiao Qingqian was not adapted to such an environment and ran all the way without resting, and the Evil Devourer was seriously injured due to breaking the formation, he did not say the idea of continuing to move forward in his heart but came down to rest.
After a while, in the sound of snoring one after another, Xiao Qingqian slept the deepest, she fell asleep next to the blind man, and she didn't worry about the other three running away, the blind man was the person she was looking for by the astrolabe, and she and the blind man had a cooperation agreement, and the blind man would not abandon her if something happened.
Just as they were asleep, the blind man, who could hear the slightest sound thousands of miles away, suddenly woke up Xiao Qingqian next to him, "There are a lot of people coming here!" ”
Xiao Qingqian hated that she was woken up when she was asleep, and replied impatiently in a trance: "Hmm......?" Who else can be ...... in this desert?"
"I won't hear you wrong, there are about twenty or thirty people, tall and strong, who can lift boulders, and we'd better get out of here at once." Again, the blind man confirmed.
Although Xiao Qingqian did not doubt that the blind man's hearing was beyond the ordinary people's good, but there were twenty or thirty people who were not too exaggerated, and the old monk would not have accepted so many people into the astrolabe, but could it be that they were still reproducing in it, and suddenly a stirring in her mind made Xiao Qingqian wake up, she stood up, and suddenly gasped, it was really hard to believe that the fire on the mountain in front of her was shining, it was the bright light of the torches, and it was moving towards Stonehenge.
"Hey! Wake up, wake up. Xiao Qingqian immediately woke up General Guo and Lei Roaring Tiger, "A lot of people are coming here with torches, what should I do?" Xiao Qingqian couldn't pay attention for a while, but now that the enchantment has broken through the night and flocked to this side, these people shouldn't be looking for them to settle accounts, right?
"What else, run first!" Seeing the black head on the top of the mountain opposite, the Thunder Tiger couldn't help but be a little afraid, it was simply fright that so many people suddenly appeared, and several of them were not the opponents of a group of people at all, and they could only wait to be caught if they didn't run. They ran in the opposite direction of the torches, but they didn't know that they were already being stared at, and the people on the hill ran towards them with torches and shouted "Whew!" Call! Call! There was a sonorous and powerful chase, and after a while, Xiao Qingqian's front road was intercepted, and they could only run back, but they didn't expect that the way back was also blocked, and they were forced to retreat into Stonehenge.
The people holding the torches were tall and strong, with dark skin, and their whole bodies only covered their crotch, just like primitive people, but they looked powerful, and they approached step by step, and finally surrounded Xiao Qingqian in Stonehenge, and did not continue to force into the formation. Under a stalemate, a rhythmic sound of "bell bell" came, only to see an old woman walking slowly over with a serpentine staff, majestic and sacred, those people holding torches made way for the old woman, in the firelight, Xiao Qingqian saw the old woman's face clearly, isn't this the same Granny Ji who treated her back pain before?
Xiao Qingqian was puzzled, Granny Ji had told her that she would stay in the desert forever, how could she be here at this moment, she shouted to the old woman: "Granny Ji, is it you?" ”
The old woman paused for a pause, and said majestically: "Outsiders invade, the barrier is broken, the night is full of sky, and the stone henge is sacrificed!" After saying that, he raised his hands towards the center of Stonehenge, as if calling for something, and those with torches also raised their hands, making a regular "whew, whew, whew" sound.
Xiao Qingqian was completely blinded, and she didn't know what they were doing, but she just felt that although the person in front of her looked similar to the Granny Ji she had seen before, it didn't seem to be the same person......
