Chapter 327: I've Been Waiting for a Long Time [Ninth Update]
What's beneath the abyss?
Xiao Hei knew, and Su Wen knew it, but they weren't the only visitors in this abyss for a hundred years.
As early as when Su Wen and his party were still lingering at the mouth of the valley, there were already six figures one step ahead of them, jumping down the abyss and coming to the legendary thunder pool.
Of course, it was Qianxia and Shen Mu and their party.
I still remember that when the Yellow Crane Tower had not yet collapsed, Su Wen stayed in the grassland world on the first floor for five days, which almost became a joke of the Ten Kingdoms of the Human Race.
But in fact, at that time, in addition to Su Wen, there were five people who were staying on the first floor of the Yellow Crane Tower with him, and who had not yet ascended the building.
Among them, the reason why Zixi stayed was completely out of the righteousness of the "brother", and he accompanied Su Wen almost all over the grassland, and also accompanied Su Wen to the last moment.
And there is another person who is Chai Ping of Yan Kingdom, the reason why he failed to climb the tower was because Zixi's Tianzi Thirteen Kills cut off his courage and hope, so it was difficult to advance an inch on the way to Wendao.
The last three people are Qianxia, Xiaosi, and Shen Mu.
Of course, at that time, the shallow summer was still called a stunning.
Some of the reasons why Shen Mu stayed were the same as Su Wen, all of them saw through the secrets of this grassland and discovered the connection between the black stone and the stars.
However, he was able to discover this for another reason.
It was a person, a woman who made Shen Mu fall in love at first sight, her name was Qianxia, and she was a demon saintess.
The Yellow Crane Tower was originally a treasure in the hands of the Demon Lord Tu Sheng, in other words. This is a treasure that once belonged to the demon clan, so it is not surprising that Assuma can learn the secret.
Yes. She and Shen Mu and her group of six people obviously set off later than Su Wen and the others, but they arrived at the last floor of the Yellow Crane Tower a few days earlier than Su Wen, which is also a matter of course.
Because among the five of them, there is the Demon Holy Maiden, the last bloodline of the current Demon Royal Family, and two Demon Holy Beasts!
With such a lineup, just ask. Whether it's the scorpion-tailed python in the lava world, the black beetle in the grotto labyrinth, or the succubus in the weird valley. The snow devils in the snowfield, and even the two-headed giant turtle at the end, which one dares to stop them?
Therefore, Qianxia and the others have never encountered the slightest danger at all along the way. He easily came to the front of the thunder pool.
The so-called Thunder Pool. As the name suggests, of course, it is a world of lightning and thunder, where there is no day, only night, and there are always heart-palpitating sparks in the air, which is enough to make the vast majority of strong people fearful.
But the most shocking thing is in the middle of the thunder pool, under the thousands of impermeable thunder nets. There was a black shadow as large as a mountain.
It was a dragon corpse.
It is not a simple dragon bone or dragon remains, but a very complete dragon corpse. Flesh and blood!
Perhaps it was because of this special thundering space that the dragon corpse was perfectly preserved, even after a hundred and ten years, it was still as if it was alive, as if it would open its eyes in the next moment.
This used to be the guardian of the last floor of the Yellow Crane Tower, but it was destroyed a hundred years ago, leaving only an empty shell.
Even as the only orthodox royal heir of the demon clan today, the young man couldn't help but feel a sigh when he saw this thunder dragon for the first time.
"If this dragon is still alive and can be used by me, will it not be as good as a tiger to restore the great cause of our people?"
The young man's voice revealed a strong regret, however, in the next moment, a glimmer of hope was ignited.
"Your Highness's wish will come true. ”
It was Asa Xia who spoke, and she said this very firmly, as if what she said never fell into place.
What I say is true!
Hearing Qianxia's words, the young man suddenly had joy in his eyes, bowed slightly to Qianxia, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord Saintess, for solving my doubts!"
After a pause, the young man asked again: "My lord once said that in this thunder pool, there is a key to control the entire Yellow Crane Tower, but I don't know, where is the key?"
Asa Xia raised her head slightly, looked in the direction they came, and said indifferently: "When it's time to come, it will come." ”
Compared with the previous answer, this time Qianxia's answer was much more vague, but the young man did not express his dissatisfaction, but nodded and said, "This day, I have been waiting for nearly a hundred years, why wait a few more days?"
Of course, maybe this was not the true voice of the young man, but at this time, he did not dare to offend this holy woman at all.
Although, theoretically, his status is not inferior to that of the Holy Maiden.
But if they want to recapture the Yellow Crane Tower this time, young people need to rely on the light summer.
At this time, among the six people in the Lei Chi, only the woman with a beautiful face was really loyal to the young man, and the others, including Xiao Si, Shen Mu, and the short strange old man, were completely obedient to Qianxia!
Not to mention, the Holy Maiden Asa Xia still has such a mysterious and unpredictable prophecy technique, and the young man will not doubt at all that even if he only has the slightest disrespect for him in his heart, he will be immediately discovered by the other party!
Of course, for Shen Mu, the word obedience is not accurate, because he is not a subordinate of Qianxia, but his concern for Qianxia now is something that others can't catch up with.
It's like a little boy who has just fallen in love.
From the very beginning, he sued Asa Natsu that he liked her.
It doesn't matter if she likes him or not.
Because he is a playboy, he loves flowers, but he doesn't expect flowers to love him.
The most commendable thing is that Shen Mu did not question his heart because Qianxia was a demon clan, nor did he retreat because the other party was a high-ranking saintess.
If she asks him to quit, he will quit.
For Shen Mu, the most humble party in love will always love each other more than himself.
At this time, he had not yet reached such a state, but there was no doubt that he was willing to make any sacrifice for the sake of Asatsu, so before the young man appeared, when Asa Xia asked him if he would regret it, even after he had learned Asanatsu's true identity, he never wavered in his choice.
Choice determines fate, but also position.
When he stood beside her and accepted the worship of the three demons, he had already made a sacrifice.
But Shen Mu didn't care about this, and sure enough, as his teacher, Huasheng Wang Hao said, he can be abusive, but he must not be sincere, once he is sincere, he will die.
From a certain point of view, Wang Hao's words have become a prophecy, because the original Shen Mu is dead.
Now he is still called Shen Mu, and he is still a lover of flowers, but he will never go back to Qingguo, and he will never see his teacher again.
There are some roads that you can't turn back on.
At this time, Shen Mu would not know that it was precisely because of his choice that the fuse of the civil strife of the Terran was ignited, but even if he knew, he might not care, because from the moment he stood side by side by the side of Qianxia, he had nothing to do with the Terran.
Whether the territory of the Terran is peace or war, it will no longer have any intersection with him.
Many years later, when people mention his name, they will not remember that he was once called Shen Mu Gongzi, but will call him a traitor to mankind, a sinner who has betrayed his faith.
In the dark, Shen Mu seemed to have stepped into the old path of a senior, but as he himself said, he was a pitiful dude, and that person was not.
Therefore, he firmly believes that his ending will not end in the same way as that senior.
"I always thought that you girls like to look at flowers and plants, and look at snow scenes, for example, the burning snowfield is very good, but I didn't expect that you like to watch thunder?"
Shen Mu's words made Qianxia couldn't help laughing, and said in a low voice: "In my life, I have seen a lot of scenery, even if it is a beautiful scenery, it is inevitable that there will be times when I get tired of seeing it, so for me, I don't like it or not, I just don't want to see it." ”
After a pause, Asa Xia asked with some curiosity, "Do you hate thunder?"
Hearing this, Shen Mu couldn't help but shrink his neck, looking like he was related, and said frankly: "My parents died early, so when I was a child, what I was most afraid of was the time of thunder, and I always didn't dare to sleep alone, and there was no one at home, so I had to hide under the bed board and stay up until dawn, so until now, I don't like thunder." ”
Shen Mu's answer was a little unexpected for Qianxia, so he continued: "So, we have been together for so long, you already know who I am, but I don't know who you are except for a name, why don't you tell me?"
Speaking of this, Asa Xia suddenly showed a faint smile and added, "But since you don't like it here, why don't we go out first, and then you can tell me your story?"
Shen Mu shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's okay, aren't you going to wait for someone here, what if we miss it after we go out, I'll tell you here, well, you already know that my name is Shen Mu, and then you know that I'm from Qingguo, so why don't I tell you about my childhood......"
However, before Shen Mu's story began, it was forced to end, because Asa Xia suddenly smiled apologetically at him and interrupted: "Although it is a bit rude, the person we are waiting for has already arrived." ”
Shen Mu's face did not show the slightest regret and loss, but smiled: "Okay, then I'll tell you about it next time." ”
Asa Xia bowed slightly, then turned to everyone and said, "They're here." ”
Before he could finish speaking, a figure had suddenly appeared in the midst of lightning and thunder, his eyes covered with a green cloth, and his hand holding a cane sharpened from a tree branch, which seemed to be no different from a blind man.
But even so, Qianxia still recognized that the person who came was the person she was waiting for, so she bowed to the invisible young man Qianqian, and then said: "Su Shengcai, you are finally here, we have been waiting for a long time." (To be continued......)
