Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Sacrificial Pit
Zhou Tao fell into deep thought and began to recall the whole process, "The earth is the beginning, the fire is the end, leaving the fire, the back of the earth, and the earth is born with fire, so that all things can be transformed and endless, I understand." A gleam flashed in Zhou Tao's eyes.
"Tang Can, Brother Tang, you turn the fourth layer of dragon claws twice, one on the left and two on the right, I turn the dragon's belly, I will count one, two, three, and we will turn together." Zhou Tao quickly arranged.
"Good. Tang Ming and Tang Can nodded in response.
"One, two, three, turn" Under Zhou Tao's shout, the three of them used all their strength to turn the coiling dragon pillar.
The familiar sound of the machine was heard with a "click", followed by a series of sound of the machine opening and closing.
"It's on!"
Tang Can's face was full of excitement, and Tang Ming and Zhou Tao also smiled.
However, at this moment, the light suddenly dimmed, and the three of them turned their heads together, seeing that the last piece of fire had also completed its last bit of mission and was extinguished.
The buzzing sound of flapping wings was heard again, and the joy on the faces of the three disappeared.
"Damn, why are you so unlucky, it doesn't go out soon, it doesn't go out late, but it goes out at this time, doesn't it kill people?" Tang Can said indignantly.
Tang Ming Zhengse said: "Right now, we can only rely on our own strength to resist. ”
Zhou Tao's body lit up with a pale gray light, Tang Ming and Tang Can awakened the "wind blade" inherited from the Tang family, and their bodies lit up with pale cyan light.
In the blink of an eye, the buzzing sound was already in front of me.
Dense blood-colored flies crawled all over Zhou Tao's aura shield, and the situation on Tang Can and Tang Ming's side was similar to Zhou Tao's side.
Seeing that the blood-colored flies and insects were all blocked out of the aura shield, Zhou Tao's complexion eased a little, but in the next second, Zhou Tao's newly eased complexion became serious again.
Although those flies and insects were not as strong as the soul devouring ability of those spirit devouring rats outside the main hall, they also had some weak devouring ability, and coupled with the huge number, the aura shield was also weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Feeling the rapid depletion of spiritual power in his body, in another three or five minutes, the chaotic qi in his body will be consumed and replaced by evil qi.
Zhou Tao looked at the Panlong Pillar, which was rotating rapidly at this time and slowly sinking.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Tao's face sank, with this descending speed of the Panlong Pillar, when the palace opened, the aura of his whole body would be replaced by evil qi, and Tang Ming and Tang Can would definitely die.
At this time, Tang Ming opened his mouth and said, "Young shopkeeper, Tang Can, with your spiritual power, how long can you support it?" ”
Tang Can said: "I can hold on for about three and a half minutes. ”
Zhou Tao: "I'm pretty much the same. ”
Tang Ming took out a bowl: "Then we hold on for three minutes, and after three minutes, whether we can survive or not depends on it." ”
"What is this?" Tang Can felt a little familiar when he saw this purple-gold bowl.
"It's the one you think, the heirloom of our Tang family, the Purple Gold Demon Bowl."
Tang Can looked surprised: "Grandpa actually gave you all the purple gold demon bowl that is regarded as life, and you are really willing to do it." ”
"That's not for me to protect your safety, in the eyes of Grandpa Tai, you are much more important than this purple gold demon bowl." Tang Ming played with the purple gold demon bowl in his hand.
Tang Can shook his head and smiled bitterly, this is indeed the case, his grandfather is too spoiled himself.
The aura on the three of them became weaker and weaker, and when it was three and a half points, the aura in Tang Can's body was consumed first.
Tang Ming hurriedly sacrificed the purple gold demon bowl, and the purple-gold bowl gradually became larger, enveloping the bodies of the three of them.
The bowl became transparent, and Zhou Tao and the three of them could clearly see everything outside, countless blood-colored flies and insects continued to hit the bowl, but they were shocked and fell by the bowl, although they soon flew again.
But this scene, in the eyes of the three of them, felt a lot more relieved.
At this moment, the Panlong Pillar had completely submerged into the ground, and at the same time, the floor under the feet of Zhou Tao and the three of them suddenly cracked, and they were caught off guard, and the three of them had already fallen before they could scream.
The floor slowly closed again, the space under the floor was not very deep, and it had already fallen on the ground after falling for a while, Zhou Tao stepped heavily on the ground, and under the illumination of the flashlight, Tang Can and Tang Ming both turned their heads and climbed up.
"Are you two alright?" Zhou Tao walked over to the two of them.
"It's fine." Tang Ming and Tang Can shook their heads together.
Tang Can spit out the dirty saliva in his mouth, and then said: "This is also my spiritual power exhausted, otherwise I don't care about this depth." ”
Tang Ming patted the dust on his body and quipped, "You should be glad that it's not deep down here, otherwise you would be the first monk to be killed." ”
"Okay, don't make trouble, look at the location we are in now, if my guess is correct, we should now be regarded as officially stepping into the underground palace of King Fu." Zhou Tao saw the joy of the two arguing, so he could only interrupt.
After listening to Zhou Tao's words, the two Tang brothers shut up, picked up a flashlight and shone it around.
I saw that the position they were in was a relatively narrow path, and on both sides of the road, there were ravines about three meters deep.
In the ravine, there were countless white bones, which were scattered everywhere in the ravine in no order.
Tang Can looked at those white bones with a surprised expression: "Why are there so many bones here?"
Zhou Tao said in a disgusted tone: "This is a burial pit. ”
"Burial pits? Isn't there an infinite number of people who have died here?" Tang Can continued to ask.
Zhou Tao shook his head: "Most of the bones of cattle and sheep and other livestock here, not a living sacrifice pit." ”
"It's not just livestock here, you see." Tang Ming hit the beam of the flashlight on a white skull in the distance.
Zhou Tao looked over there, his eyes narrowed, and then he used a flashlight to shine around the burial pit, and soon found several identical skulls among the countless bones.
Zhou Tao's face became ugly.
Tang Can saw the change in Zhou Tao's face, so he asked worriedly: "Young shopkeeper, what kind of bones are they?" ”
Zhou Tao clenched his teeth, and word by word popped out of his mouth: "These are human bones." ”
"Human bones?" Tang Can was taken aback, and also flashlight shone on the places that Zhou Tao had seen before.
Under this look, Tang Can also found out the difference.
When he saw these bones for the first time, Tang Can didn't think about human bones at all, in King Fu's dynasty, it was strictly forbidden to use living people.
Judging from the density just now, the number of human bones here is estimated to have reached a terrifying level, and there are also many people who have been sacrificed alive.
"This blessed king is really a ruthless person, he used such a person to bury him alive and kill such a person."
