Chapter 172: Xiao Sheng and the Tomb of the Gods
Su Yunqing pricked up her ears and eavesdropped on the conversation between Xie Yuanyu and the Crimson Demon Queen, and suddenly said, "These two must have had a leg before." β
"How so?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Bet if you don't believe me." Su Yunqing stared ahead and said with a smile, "Look at the demeanor of the two of them, they must have slept before, and more than once." β
"It's better not to talk nonsense."
"I'll bet you a cucumber! I have seen a lot of this kind of shameless woman in the Star Courtyard, circling between many men, left and right, and playing those pretentious stinky men around...... Now she seems to have her eyes on you, so you have to be on guard later at night! β
"I'm too worried."
At this time, there was a sudden ethereal sound of flute, and it was impossible to distinguish where it came from, as if it sounded directly in the depths of the soul, lingering in the heart, ethereal and distant.
Jiang Chen's heart trembled suddenly, and the blood in his body stirred with it.
"What's wrong?" Su Yunqing noticed the change in his face.
"Didn't you hear? Someone is giving a. β
"? Why didn't I hear that? β
Su Yunqing looked around, and when she looked into the distance, the sound of the flute in Jiang Chen's heart became softer and thinner, and it curled away like light smoke. Only a wisp of afterglow remains, like an auditory hallucination, still lingering in the ears.
Jiang Chen frowned and said coldly, "When I was with Xining just now, I heard this kind of flute sound. β
Su Yunqing's face also became solemn.
She knew that with the realm of a seventh-order Xuangang martial artist, all perceptions were not groundless, and she would not easily misjudge such as dazzled and misheard. Since Jiang Chen heard the sound of the flute, there must be a reason.
Su Yunqing relied on the Su family's secret technique "Listening to Thunder", and her perception ability was slightly stronger than Jiang Chen's, if the enemy could bypass her and quietly launch a sneak attack on Jiang Chen under her nose, then this person's strength must have reached a rather terrifying level!
Aside from special supernatural powers, I'm afraid that only a tenth-order peerless powerhouse can do this!
Could it be that the ghost of the Venerable Jizo is still lingering?
As soon as she thought of this possibility, Su Yunqing felt a chill on her back.
"Do you think someone is spying on us?" Jiang Chen suddenly asked again.
"Yes, a lot of people." Su Yunqing glanced at the camel team in front of him and said, "It's just that they are all small roles, and they are not worth mentioning." Well, there is a fifth-order guy who is okay, look at his two-colored Mimi's small eyes, which are carved out of the same mold as Lin Qi. But it's not you who he's spying on, it's me......"
"No other clues?"
"It's not that there are no clues, but there are so many clues, like a mess, we don't know where to start! The easiest way to do that is to kill everyone......"
When Su Yunqing said this, thinking of Jiang Chen's recent performance, it was really possible to do such a thing, she hurriedly changed her words, "I'm kidding, don't take it seriously!" β
Jiang Chen's eyes searched the crowd for a moment, and he had to admit that Su Yunqing was right-there were too many characters with suspicious behaviors, and the people living in this chaotic place, every one of them was not good at stubble, even the caravan owner with a smile on his face pinned two boning knives behind his waist. If you want to find out who is behind this, I'm afraid you have to kill everyone.
He gave up the futile gesture and exhaled a cloudy breath.
The enemy is dark and I am clear, and I am rewarded with high prices, and I am killed on all sides. It feels terrible!
Su Yunqing comforted: "Don't worry, that guy is sneaky and doesn't dare to show up, which means that he doesn't have any hard skills." As long as I cover it, I guarantee that he can't touch you. β
"Do you want to sleep at night, with you?" Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "I haven't fallen to the point of relying on women for protection!" β
"That's right, with you by your side, Xiao Ning will definitely not be able to sleep."
Speaking of this, Su Yunqing's face changed suddenly, and Jiang Chen also seemed to think of something, and the two of them turned their heads at the same time to look at Xining, who was silently following behind them.
Xining felt the gaze of the two, raised her head in surprise, her eyes flickered, and slowly lowered her head.
Is that her? β
Jiang Chen was suspicious.
As the jade girl of the Futu Sect, Xining should also have some ability to pretend to be a ghost, right?
Su Yunqing looked at Xining for a long time, shook her head and said, "It's not her." β
Jiang Chen also agreed with this conclusion.
When he first heard the sound of the flute, Xining waited for the verdict in front of him, and there was no chance to make a ghost.
It's just that her expression, why does it look a little weird......
After following the caravan for a while, when he set up camp, Jiang Chen initially established the suspects as three.
One is a tall and thin man nicknamed "Wujia Python", he is the right-hand man of the crimson demon queen, and his snake-like gaze often swirls on Jiang Chen and Su Yunqing, and his hostility is very obvious.
The second person is a sneaky black thin dwarf nicknamed "Ghost Swallow". It is said that this person was born as a killer, and he had just joined the Changhe Hunting Group for less than half a year, and his methods were ferocious and weird.
The last person was a middle-aged scribe surnamed Song, with a weak physique and frivolous steps, not like a person who practiced martial arts. Jiang Chen's reason for suspecting him was very simple, because this person happened to have a pipe pinned to the back of his waist!
Jiang Chen planned to meet these three guys if he was free tonight.
The day's running had exhausted the people's strength, and when the tents were set up, everyone went into the tents, and the sound of conversation was inaudible, except for the snoring that rose and fell in the camp.
Eternal winds blew overhead, and a blood moon hung high in the sky, turning the desert red.
Under the inspiration of the demonic moonlight, the blood in Jiang Chen's body began to become restless.
He was lying on the mat with his clothes, suppressing the restlessness of his body, when he suddenly heard a melodious sound of the flute and a faint pipa music.
This time it's two musicians. One, one playing the lute.
Although the pipa music was graceful and subtle, and perfectly integrated into the sound of the flute, it was almost impossible to feel the difference, but Jiang Chen was still sensitive to the fact that this was a different performance belonging to the two people.
Between the sounds of music, the blood and qi in Jiang Chen's body seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and it quickly moved among the hundreds of limbs.
He looked up and saw the red moon in the vault.
Through the gap in the tent, you can see dark red bands of light pulling in the sky, and the night sky seems to be filled with countless gray whirlpools, making people dizzy and exuding infinite magic.
A blood moon in the sky is the most bewitching and gorgeous moonlight that Jiang Chen has ever seen in his life, without the slightest silver-white whiteness, dyeing the sky red, but revealing a charming temptation, as if it is pulling the three souls and seven spirits, floating leisurely into the distance, returning to the embrace of the depths of the stars.
Jiang Chen seemed to have a hallucination in front of him, and suddenly forgot where he was, only to see a cracked earth spread out in front of him, full of ravines, without a single grass or tree.
And he stood on this barren ground, the loose soil under his feet creaking under his feet.
After walking a distance, climbing a dirt slope, looking at the undulating mountains in the distance, and looking at the surrounding terrain, Jiang Chen suddenly came to his senses-
What he stepped on was not real ground, but an incomparably huge body lying on his side!
The cracks in the ravines are the texture of the skin on the giant's body!
The towering mountains in the distance are the arms of giants!
The complete body of the giant, if it stands up, I am afraid that it will not be thousands of feet tall!
What a majestic existence! Could it be the creation giant of ancient mythology?
Jiang Chen's heart suddenly gave rise to a sense of awe, only to feel that his behavior of stepping on the giant was really disrespectful.
But when he looked closely, he found that the giant seemed to have been dead for a long time, and although it was not rotting, it was completely deprived.
Why did such a great being die?
Jiang Chen's consciousness flew upward, and as his field of vision rose, he gradually saw the scene in the distance-
This is an endless sea of blood, tens of thousands of miles wide, as far as the eye can see.
The giant, hundreds of feet high, lying in this sea of blood, is only like a drop in the ocean.
In the distance, countless huge corpses floated, densely packed, like stars in the night sky, dotted on the sea of blood...... What a magnificent and magnificent, but tragic and terrifying picture!
Jiang Chen's little sea of consciousness aura floated over cautiously, carefully identifying those huge corpses, and a kind of realization surged in his heartβthese corpses were the gods who fell in the primeval war of the last era thousands of years ago, and their bones still exuded a strong and majestic aura even after ten thousand years of time, luring many small consciousnesses to come and worship in the sea of blood......
So, this wasteland of the Sea of Blood is the burial ground of the ancient gods in the epic mythology of the last century?
After Jiang Chen was startled, the world in his eyes became clearer.
All kinds of divine servants, like monsters more than humans, and even some are just vague spirits, constitute this peaceful, solemn, solemn, and dreary cemetery.
On the corpses of the gods, the laws of the Great Dao that they controlled during their lifetime escaped from the body, floating in the void, intertwined into mysterious and complex lines and patterns, flowing and changing, as if interpreting the truth of the Great Dao.
The mysteries of the power contained in those laws attracted Jiang Chen to get closer, wanting to observe deeply.
But once Jiang Chen's mind penetrated into those changing lines, he suddenly felt dizzy, and almost instantly exhausted all his divine thoughts, and the world was spinning in front of him, and his consciousness seemed to be attracted by a huge whirlpool, and he sank into darkness with a bang......
Jiang Chen let out a low sigh, sat up suddenly, and found that he was back in the present world, the surrounding wind and sand were whistling on the top of the tent, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back.
