Chapter 238: The Pilgrimage of Ten Thousand Beasts
The sun is thin, the red glow is like a flame, and the remnant glow renders the entire oasis with a layer of brilliant pink, making it look like a shy young girl who has been smeared with grease and powder, and is silent there.
After some thought, Xiao Cong decided to stay here for a while, to find out what made him puzzled, thinking that he was the fourth young master of the Xiao family, a descendant disciple who came out of Tiandaoxuan, he really had reason to find ways to leave some extraordinary feats, or he would be sorry for the careful cultivation of the master and his old man!
As for the Dugu family...... Even if they are faster than him, will they be able to obtain the Spirit of Fire one step ahead of him? With this divine sense that has begun to take on spiritual power, he has the confidence to let them go three thousand miles, and besides, they still have to say whether they know this matter or not.
In this way, Xiao Cong and Hongxiang actually stayed behind the sand dunes temporarily, Xiao Cong was consumed with the unknown creatures in the oasis, lying on the sand dunes every day to watch, not thinking about tea, not wanting to eat, except for practicing purple eyes as usual at dawn every day, and sleeping on the sand dunes at other times, Hongxiang felt helpless about this, so he could only send the food to Xiao Cong's mouth every time he arrived, and accompany him to lie on the sand dunes for a while, and then go to his own work. But day by day, the oasis is still as calm as ever, not to mention the immortal power in the oasis, not even the shadow of a bird!
Seven days later.
At noon that day, Xiao Cong was still lying on the sand dunes and watching carefully, Hongxiang sent dry food and water to him as usual, and watched with him boredly for a while, Yan'er turned his head and suddenly exclaimed.
"Brother!"
Xiao Cong turned his head when he heard the sound, and looked into the direction pointed by Hongxiang, good guy, I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, on that broad road, countless ancient beasts and beasts densely turned into a black torrent, and it was surging towards the oasis at a rare slow speed, this face is nothing to put in the sunset mountain range, but in this resource-scarce and difficult to survive in the near sun desert, it has to be said to be a breathtaking grand scene, Xiao Cong was also dumbfounded, but not as shocked as Hongxiang to the point of being unable to extricate himself, he came back to his senses, shook his head hard, and then opened his purple eyes, wanting to see the truthγ
It doesn't matter if you take a cursory glance, but if you take a closer look, you will scare Xiao Cong's careful liver, the black torrent is not a group of ordinary ancient beasts, what a hydra, a nine-tailed scorpion, a seven-headed lion, a long-mouthed predator... Hidden among them, the leader is a humanoid beast that is less than five feet tall and walks upright and has a circle of small horns on its head, Xiao Cong can't call his name, let alone seen him in any ancient books, but he can take the lead in a group of "princely generals", he must not be a general, anyway, in terms of Taoism, he must be a lot taller than the hydra and nine-tailed scorpion behind.
I saw him walking in the front with a respectful face, leading a group of ancient beasts to take five steps and one to bow, three steps and one kowtow, the back movements were neat and uniform, and the front was in order, this rare tacit understanding could not be practiced in two or eight days, and it should have been a long time since I thought of this spectacular event, and it has been customary.
But it is worthy of such a devout audience of these ancient beasts, what kind of unfathomable role is the Lord of the Oasis? Xiao Cong thought about it again and again, but found that he could not find such a number one person in his knowledge accumulation, and it was he who was the only one who was sparse in learning
Shallow was lucky enough to see a miracle, and he didn't know.
Time seems to have slowed down a lot because of the slow progress of the black torrent, which makes people anxious to wait, no, it should be terrifying, no one knows what will happen in the next moment, in this situation, every next moment becomes confusing and unpredictable, making people look forward to it, but also making people feel uneasy, making people itch and unbearable, and also making people feel silent, as if they are in deep water, ice and fire.
Hongxiang, who was standing on the side, didn't even dare to breathe, Xiao Cong didn't speak, he would not dare to escape alone, but if Xiao Cong didn't speak, he would have to stand like this all the time, he couldn't help but think of some bloody and violent pictures in his mind, as if at some point an ancient beast would rush out of the ground where they were standing, swallowing them before they came to their senses, plasma splashed, and he didn't even have time to scream before he died.
After another long time, Xiao Cong breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a little anger:
"Immortal, why is it so slow, tired to death, come, sit down and wait first, it's too tiring to hold your neck like this. β
As he spoke, he sat down on the sand dune with his own ass.
Hongxiang is not as heartless and nerve-free as Xiao Cong, he slowly turned his head, and after thinking about it for a long time, he cautiously asked:
"Brother, they really don't rush over suddenly...... Or is it sneaking in?"
Xiao Cong looked at Hongxiang's little face that was pale and frightened, and swore with a smile:
"Don't worry, look at their extremely pious and respectful appearance, they won't rush over in a chaotic formation, besides, the people in there are all masters who have a head and a face in the clan, even if they do the three indiscriminate and face-damaging things, they won't do it yourself, you can sit down with peace of mind, wait patiently for a while, and when they walk to the edge of the oasis, it will definitely be more exciting." β
"But what if they don't go to the edge of the oasis?" Hongxiang asked.
Xiao Cong smiled mysteriously, his gaze moved upward, and he replied as if he had a feeling:
"Believe me, they'll definitely go to the edge of the oasis. β
As Xiao Cong expected, about two hours later, when the black torrent reached the edge of the oasis, he no longer kowtowed, but unhurriedly formed a circle around the oasis, and walked into the forest one by one.
He couldn't see the scenes in other places, but he could really see the scene in the forest that he burned nine days ago, and it was contradictory, since this place was already so evil, he didn't cover everything up, and even the forest he burned before was not restored.
He lay back on his stomach on the dune, calmed down, and continued to watch carefully.
I saw that under the darkness, the ancient beast that walked to the edge of the small pool stopped and prostrate on the ground, and after bowing to the good day, he used his own weapon - or scratched with his claws, or bit with his teeth, cut his wrist, and let a thin stream of blood flow into the pool, and after the water in the small pool was stained red with blood, a large splash began to rise in the middle of the oasis, as if something was about to float out.
"It's coming, it's coming soon......"
Xiao Cong muttered in his mouth, looking at it for a moment
With the churning water in the center of the oasis, he was trying to suppress his eagerness and fear with autosuggestion.
A plate of complex buns slowly surfaced in the eyes of Xiao Cong and Hongxiang, although it looked the same as what they usually saw in the murals from a distance, but if you think about it carefully, the size is extraordinary, and it will definitely not be found in normal people anyway.
Xiao Cong finally stopped chattering, he held his breath, his expression was slightly solemn, poor Xiao Hongxiang standing on the side couldn't see anything, he could only be anxious.
In the oasis,
The bun is getting higher and higher, and at a certain moment it is about to show his forehead, and suddenly the divine light is shining, and there are thousands of colors, although it is bright, but it is not too dazzling, Xiao Cong regained his vision after a few breaths of temporary blindness, and then continued to watch.
The vague appearance of a human race woman floating out of the water, her forehead is full and wide, her eyebrows and eyes are narrow, the bridge of her nose is high, her red lips are like flames but thin as a blade, although she looks extremely beautiful, she is always a little cold from a high place, but she can not be seen from a distance and play with a sense of indifference.
Awe-inspiring and inviolable!
The woman continued to rise, her slender neck, her sunken collarbones, her choppy breasts covered by a narrow cloth, her tight belly, and ...... A large area of colorful scales on the abdomen!
"I'll go, this is a demon!"
Xiao Cong preliminarily concluded, but as for whether it was a snake demon or a fish demon or other freaks with scales, it was necessary to wait and see further to make a decision.
The anxious wait is the longest, and the tormented minutes and seconds are slowly precipitated in the endless anticipation, like salt particles under the warm sun.
The figure in the center of the oasis finally surfaced, judging from the two extraordinarily unique fins on the lower body and the fan blades on the tail, it was obviously a half-human, half-fish monster, Xiao Cong suddenly thought of a legendary legend - mermaid!
But in the records of the ancient books, this legendary legend is not to live in the desert, they should be haunted near the fairy mountain in the West Sea, where they are the messengers of the immortals, and give the immortals a lot of edicts - in their own unique way.
"But what is the reason why she is here and is worshiped as a god by a group of ancient beasts? Is it because of its unique image? No, there are more half-human, half-beast guys, she should have other unique features!"
Xiao Cong came back to his senses and continued to watch.
When Xiao Cong refocused his gaze on the small pond on the edge of the oasis, the water of the pond that had been stained red with blood had regained its clarity, and the ancient beast crawling beside the pool stretched its neck and licked it lightly in the pool, silent for a long time, and then bowed three times before turning his head and leaving, as if he was willingly performing an ancient and strange ritual from beginning to end.
The legendary legend floated motionless less than three feet above the water with the soft divine light around her, her eyes were slightly closed, her lips were slightly squirming, probably mindfulness had a word, her hands were followed by a strange seal, and her expression looked more respectful and meticulous than the ancient beast crawling beside the pool.
"Legend has it that the mermaid is the messenger of the immortals, is there really an immortal hidden in this near-sun desert who has not gone to the immortal capital?"
