Chapter 63: Into the City!
The night is like ink.
Under the extremely dark sky, Ulan Lake is like a giant diamond embedded in the ground, blooming with brilliant brilliance.
Bagua City is the most dazzling light source inside this diamond.
"Where's Sister Ning?"
Su Meng, who was on the edge of the island, saw Pang Jian walking alone from the darkness, and hurriedly looked behind him.
But she didn't see the familiar shadow.
Su Meng had never experienced such a dark night before, and she didn't know if there was terror hidden in the secret, which made her secretly worry about her "Sister Ning".
"It was too dark on the hill and she fell down on the way."
Pang Jian replied indifferently, and his gaze fell on the head of the turtle carved by dark green light and strange power.
Zhou Qingchen was stunned: "You didn't help her up?" ”
"She has hands and feet, why should I help her?" Pang Jian asked curiously.
"Uh......"
Zhou Qingchen was speechless.
"Zhou boy, you and Brother Pang study hard. This woman, you can't be too nice to her, you can't take care of her feelings so much! If you have half of Pang Jian's ability, the senior sister Jiang Li you admire in Hongshan will not be ......" Han Duping exposed his shortcomings.
Zhou Qingchen's old face turned red and said angrily: "Shut up!" ”
Looking at the turtle head revealed on the ice, condensed by dark green lines and strange forces, Pang Jian was surprised: "This is the entrance to the mirror tunnel?" ”
"Well, that's what Ning Yao said."
Han Duping nodded first before expressing his opinion: "Judging from my shallow opinion of the formation, it should really be the entrance to the mirror tunnel. ”
Pang Jianqi said: "After entering, where should we come back from?" ”
Han Duping smiled bitterly: "You can only know when you go in." ”
"Okay."
Pang Jian no longer asked for details, but looked at the other three people beside him: "Do you want to go down?" ”
"Of course I'll go down!"
Zhou Qingchen immediately shouted.
"If he has to go, what can I do? I had to accompany Zhou Xiaozi. Han Duping drooped his head, a look of reluctance.
"Hmm."
Pang Jian clenched the dragon spear, and planned to be the first to jump to the lake where the turtle head was, and play a pathfinder role for everyone.
"Why don't you wait for Sister Ning?" Su Meng exclaimed angrily.
Pang Jian, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, did not respond to her at all, and jumped with the dragon spear and fell directly towards the turtle's head.
Above the crystal lake, the turtle's head, condensed by dark green light and strange force, changed suddenly when he fell.
The head of the turtle is like a head held high, but there are mysterious ripples on the neck, spreading outward in a circle.
At a glance, the head of this turtle is like a lot of collars around its neck.
"Whew!"
Pang Jian landed on the glans head on his head, and suddenly disappeared in the center of the ripple aperture.
"Let's hurry over, lest we fail to keep up with him and be forced to disperse after entering!"
Zhou Qingchen immediately made a decision, and as soon as he confirmed that it was a passage that could be entered, he jumped into it immediately behind.
Han Duping followed him without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, in front of the rippling turtle head, only Su Meng was left.
The pitch-black island was quiet, Su Meng's heart trembled slightly, and she shouted timidly to the darkness: "Sister Ning, they all went in, you ...... Is it still there? ”
"Yes."
Luo Hongyan's lazy voice with resentment sounded unhurriedly from the darkness, making Su Meng quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
After a while, I saw Luo Hongyan appear from the darkness and slowly came to Su Meng's side.
Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes flashing with surprise, and she suddenly stared at the north of Ulan Lake, and the other side was engulfed in darkness.
That's where the thick "treacherous fog" first appeared.
"Sister Ning, what are you looking at?"
Su Meng said softly.
She thought it was very strange that Luo Hongyan didn't look at the turtle representing the passage after coming over, and didn't look at the rippling ripples, but actually looked at the other end of the lake.
"It's not what I watch, I feel...... There is something watching us in the mist. ”
Luo Hongyan, who was a little inexplicably flustered in his heart, always felt that in the depths of the "strange fog" that penetrated into the lake with extremely cold powers, there was some unknown creature standing.
It made her feel creepy.
Originally, she was still hesitant to enter Bagua City, but suddenly there was no longer any hesitation, she grabbed Su Meng's little hand, and the two jumped towards the turtle head together.
The two of them also disappeared in an instant.
When there was no living creature on the island, from the darkness where Luo Hongyan had been staring before, a thing slowly emerged in the place where the rich "strange mist" was filled.
It was a large gray ape, cold and fierce, with a pair of ice-blue eyes.
If Pang Jian and Zhou Qingchen were still there, they would recognize this gray ape at a glance, it was the one who had been captured by Shangguan Qin, imprisoned in an iron cage, and finally released at Pang Jian's begging.
At this moment, compared with when Pang Jian said goodbye, its size has skyrocketed several times.
It is like a small gray hill, stepping slowly out from the depths of the "treacherous mist", stepping on the thick crystal rock ice, slowly pacing on the surface of the lake.
"Click! Click! ”
It walked towards the turtle's head, the thick rock ice beneath its broad paws, cracking in large chunks as it walked.
The rock ice, which was overflowing with the power of extreme cold, could not bear the terrifying force of every time it landed, and it continued to crack fragily.
However, as soon as it left the cracks, the cold returned, repairing the shattered rock and ice, allowing it to quickly return to its original state.
In the dark depths of the "treacherous mist", it seems to have been waiting for a long time, until everyone is gone.
Its dense gray fur was now silver-gray, and as it shook its body slightly, the silver-gray ape hair glowed with a strange glow like a steel needle.
All the way to the front of the turtle's head, standing on the surface of the ice-like translucent lake, it finally stopped.
With a pair of ice-blue evil beast eyes, it looked indifferently at the entrance and exit, and also at the brightly lit Bagua City below.
A moment later, it slowly squatted down there
……
Remote.
"Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang! ”
Five figures in succession fell heavily to the ground one after another, dizzy one by one.
Zhou Qingchen touched his hot buttocks and scolded angrily: "Why did it fall from the sky?" ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was stunned.
He stood in front of a huge city gate, which was more than ten zhang high, all made of bluestones, and looked magnificent and magnificent.
"Bagua City, we really arrived in Bagua City!"
When Zhou Qingchen exclaimed, he saw Pang Jian, who came one step ahead of him, also in front of the huge city gate.
Following Pang Jian's line of sight, he saw that above the city gate, there were two eye-catching characters like knives and axes.
- North Gate.
"Pang Jian, can't you wait for me to come along?"
Luo Hongyan, who fell in the last step, was angry and wanted to ask the teacher for his guilt as soon as he came over.
Pang Jian turned a deaf ear.
He looked at the two words of the north gate in a daze, silently ran the "Hutian Qi Cultivation Technique", and said: "The aura of heaven and earth here is pure and rich, and the aura is many times stronger than that island in the middle of Wulan Lake. ”
"Bagua City was located in the Second Realm back then, and naturally it was richer than the aura of an island in the middle of a lake in the barren extreme north of the Fourth Realm." Han Duping said as a matter of course.
"Can ...... behind us"
Pang Jian, who came first, turned around and turned his back to the north gate of Bagua City, looking at the extreme darkness like the island in the middle of the lake.
Everyone turned around one after another, all in astonishment.
Ahead, there is boundless darkness, such as enveloping all the space outside the Bagua City!
In the brightly lit Bagua City, the brilliant light from the walls seemed to be desperately infiltrating the darkness of the outside world, as if to spread the light into the depths of darkness.
It's just that the range that these dazzling rays can spread is only about three zhang.
Three feet away, there is endless darkness, and there is no light to be seen.
Pang Jian said in a deep voice: "In the depths of darkness, the aura that exists is completely different from Bagua City!" ”
He had already tried it before the few people landed, and as soon as he entered the darkness, he hurried back.
In the dark, the air he could smell was filled with sour, rancid and other strange smells.
After those breaths fell into his internal organs, they seemed to be quietly eroding his flesh and blood, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
When he cultivated with the "Pot Heaven Qi Nourishing Technique", he found that the "Spirit Pot" he visualized was no longer blue-black, but a pure black.
Black shiny!
The power he incorporated in the darkness was full of filth and all kinds of impurities, and the spiritual power was so small that it was almost imperceptible.
At that moment, in the depths of his dantian spiritual sea, there were a lot of filth.
The operation of his spiritual power suddenly became sluggish, and the funnel-shaped vortex connecting his dantian and the spiritual sea gradually condensed.
- He hastily exited the darkness when he felt something was terribly wrong.
"Colorless, cyan, blue-black, black."
He frowned, and based on the color of the "spirit pot" he was imagining, he came to a conclusion.
When he was cultivating, if he was guiding the aura between heaven and earth, even if it was the extremely thin aura of the Fourth Realm, and it still contained some impurities, his "spirit pot" did not have a specific color.
When he cultivated with pure and immaculate spirit stones and spirit jade to incorporate the spiritual power into it, his "spirit pot" was cyan.
If it is a spirit stone in the fourth realm that contains the power of pollution, there are also some special stones such as stones that contain the "power of Xuanyin", or the dark power in the black water pool.
Then his "spirit pot" will appear blue-black, and the more filthy things in it, the more intense the black part will be.
On the contrary, if the absorbed power is obviously more spiritual power than the filthy things, the color of the blue-black "spirit pot" will be greener.
He had previously tried it in the dark with the "Pot Heaven Qi Cultivation Technique", and the "Spirit Pot" unexpectedly revealed a rare pitch-black color, just like the endless darkness.
It was a weirdness he had never encountered.
"In the depths of the darkness, there is a very strong power, but there is a strong sour, rancid smell. There seems to be spiritual power in it, but it is only a little bit of it, and it is not worth mentioning compared to the power of filth. ”
Pang Jian said how he felt before.
Zhou Qingchen and Su Meng looked dazed, but after Han Duping and Luo Hongyan listened, their faces quietly changed.
"Pang Jian, never go into the darkness again. Listen to me, don't leave Bagua City, don't try to explore the outside world! ”
After a while, Luo Hongyan suddenly reminded him in surprise, and motioned for everyone to step back and retreat to Bagua City as soon as possible.
"Listen to her!"
Han Duping was also yelling.
Pang Jian looked at the two of them and wondered, "What is the origin of the darkness outside Bagua City?" ”
Han Duping licked the corners of his mouth, and said in a difficult tone: "Maybe, I mean maybe, outside the gossip city...... It could be the Fifth Level. ”
"The Fifth Realm?!"
Zhou Qingchen and Su Meng screamed.
