Chapter 6: The Great Discovery
Fang Lei picked out a horse chopping knife of appropriate length and width from the pile of weapons. From a distance, the knife body is full of turquoise, and it seems to be full of spring. But as soon as you get close to this knife, you will find that the jade-colored blade is shallow, and a stream of jet-black blood flows. Without looking too much, the history of this knife must have been full of killing and pride, and it shook in Fang Lei's hand for a long time before it stopped.
Although the sword lost most of its spirituality due to the war, it is still an extremely rare treasure.
"Senior Jun Yan, what do you think of this knife?" Fang Lei was in a happy mood after harvesting a treasure, and he decided to take this knife to the depths of the cave to have a look.
Jun Yan said with emotion, "It's good for you." ”
"What do you mean by being very good for me, don't you still look down on it?" Fang Lei himself felt that his vision was not good, in Fang Lei's previous life, such a treasure was almost impossible to see, but the things of the two worlds could not be the same. After all, Jun Yan is an ancient immortal, and he looks at things far more than Fang Lei.
"In our world, weapons are also divided into grades, and the first three grades are the king level, the emperor level, and the fairy level. My body is a fairy-level treasure, and yours is a top-grade commander sword, ranking outside the fifth grade. If I'm not mistaken, if you look at the interface between the handle and the blade, it should have its name. ”
"So this knife is called innocence! nice name - forgive you innocence. ”
Fang Lei no longer spoke, in fact, he also knew that the quality of this knife itself was excellent, and the key was who was using it. Compared with the humans of the era in which Jun Yan lived, after not evolving into a blue fire skeleton, he didn't mention that he knew martial arts at all, so as not to be laughed at.
Fang Lei raised his innocence in his hand, and was about to enter the cave, when a pheromone came from the small flower on the side, "Master, please let me go in with you, I heard a roar inside just now, there should be danger." ”
Fang Lei's heart moved, in his eyes, Xiaohua was a bug, but as she continued to grow up, she actually had a feeling of blood connection. This relationship is indescribable, but only he can experience a faint warmth in his own heart.
Shaking his head, Fang Lei's voice carried a sense of relief, and he commanded, "Xiaohua, you guys are guarding outside." This cave is not very spacious and not suitable for flying. If it's dangerous, you can't help. Just keep the hole open and don't let anything in. ”
Fang Lei's will has been decided, and it is not something that Xiaohua can change at all.
"This ...... Yes, master!"
In the battlefield of gods and demons, the entire world was dry, but when Fang Lei walked towards the entrance of the cave, he could actually feel a moist breath, convection outward. The green fire in his eyes kept jumping, which also showed that he was getting closer and closer to the things inside.
"Senior, you see that Xiaohua knows that Lu Dao cares about me, but you don't show a little bit, this is disappointing me too much. ”
The skeleton sells cuteness to Jun Yan while walking, in fact, for so long, this skeleton and Jun Yan's soul have communicated a lot, in the eyes of outsiders, Fang Lei is silent, but in fact, he always maintains a quick communication with Jun Yan.
Jun Yan thought for a moment and said, "Can I be silent?"
"No, you can't. You and I are grasshoppers on a rope, and if you are really in danger, you will only have a dead end. ”
"You are a very assertive person. So not at a critical time, it won't disrupt your arrangement. It's just that this time it's really necessary for you to come here. ”
"Uh, what do you mean by that?"
"Later, when you see it, you won't ask me anything. ”
Fang Lei saw that Jun Yan's tone was serious, so he gave up boringly. After walking hundreds of steps forward like this, he found that the interior of this cave was getting wider and wider, and it was hundreds of zhang wide at the very end, and it was completely like an underground palace.
More weapons and corpses began to appear on the ground, and even some stone tablets, cheats, and even a lot of jewelry.
The appearance of these things hinted at a problem, and Fang Lei gradually realized, "This place used to be a place for human habitation, but it has gradually become abandoned. ”
"That's right. ”
When you reach the end of the crypt, the road is cut off, and there is a large pit about a few dozen meters deep, and there are spiral steps on one side to reach the bottom below. All kinds of sounds came from here, but he didn't know what to do, Fang Lei didn't dare to look down until now, because he vaguely felt that this was definitely not a quiet and peaceful place.
"Why don't you go forward, you only need to take one more step to see them. Jun Yan's voice sounded again, and his tone seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, not only the taste of despair but also the strong sense of remorse.
Fang Lei stood next to the stairs and looked down, and suddenly felt numb, he had never seen such a spectacular but bleak and desperate scene.
Underneath this basin, there are thousands of skeletons that are alive like themselves!
That's right, the dense skeletons are indeed alive, but the bone fire in their eyes is very dim, and the bone is also very loose, in this dark and damp cave, the bone fire of the skeletons is like thousands of candles that have run out of oil, and it seems that as long as it is blown by the wind, it will be extinguished. At this moment, these skeletons were silent, and the moment Fang Lei stretched out his head, the skeletons also raised their heads and silently watched the visitors.
"They. What the hell are they?"
Fang Lei was completely shocked, but Jun Yan remained silent and did not respond.
"What the hell happened to them, what the hell happened?"
Fang Lei asked almost in a broken heart, he seemed to understand a little, but he didn't dare to think about it anymore, the skeletons that existed in front of him had already explained everything—they were the survivors of that divine war.
However, the price of this kind of survival is so great that it has completely surpassed the worst outcome that Fang Lei can think of.
"Fang Lei, you should ask me, ask me where I'm from!"
"Ah, senior—did you come out of this cave? is that the secret you've been guarding?"
Jun Yan remained silent, making Fang Lei's communication a little difficult, he finally understood the origin of Jun Yan, what was this cloak for, the moment he entered the cave, the tone of the whole person became heavy.
"If you wish, I'd like to let you meet the owner of your knife. The blade of innocence is actually guilty!"
The dark shadow of the monarch was peeled away from Fang Lei's cloak, and once the humanoid shadow appeared above the basin valley, countless standing skeletons knelt down at almost the same time.
Bow down devotionally!
Among them, there was a rickety skeleton that remained standing, and his old voice was full of deep self-reproach, "Tell Lord Xianzong, during the time you left, the 505th Battalion of the Forward Army, the lieutenant officer, Xu Rong, had already exhausted his life not long ago, and he himself walked out of the cave and chose to cut himself. Along with Xu Rong, there are eighteen people including the gun god Sima Feiyun and Wei Chi Dianguang. I'm sorry for them. ”
There was silence all around, and the words echoed empty throughout the crypt for a long time.
Without experiencing that war firsthand, Fang Lei couldn't imagine how tragic it was.
Although the body of the monarch is an immortal weapon, in the ancient decisive battle era, he has long become an immortal lord of his own, and the top masters who followed him to this peerless domain are millions of them. These skeletons were his followers, and in that era, at the peak of their strength, no matter which one of them had enough strength to look down on the world!
However, the intensity of the decisive battle is so vast that no racial civilization can describe this shocking battle in its entirety. At the end of the battle, the entire battlefield of gods and demons was in a state of extinction and collapse, and the withering of life seemed insignificant.
At the beginning of the decisive battle, only a very small number of people, mortally wounded, were allowed to settle down.
Right now, these skeletons are under the command of the commander of the vanguard army, Jun Yan, after being mortally wounded, although there is this hiding place, but there is no end to the years, their skills are gradually lost, their bodies are gradually weakened and dried up, and people are constantly dying in this process, and today, these martial arts giants have all become fragile skeletons, even if a low-level insect like Big Silly Brother breaks in, they can all be killed.
Silent communication, silent telling!
The communication between Fang Lei and Jun Yan overwhelmed him. In contrast, the poor self-esteem made Fang Lei feel very bad, and he even wished that he was one of them, instead of the energetic appearance he was now!
"Originally, we could have survived. After most people become skeletons, I can teach them the skill of losing heaven - to keep their bodies strong and full by devouring and sucking bone fire. But—my proposal was rejected, and only those who lived through that war know how proud the people of the Lu Dao war are!"
"I understand, the predecessors chose to wither, and they were not willing to devour the bones and fire of the clan to sustain their lives - this is where our human race is greater than the demon race!" And in the countless skull eye sockets beneath the cliff, that bleak bone fire was dying, and it could be extinguished at any moment.
Jun Yan gave Fang Lei a difficult answer, "If you were one of them, what would you choose?"
"I ...... I have only one ending, and I'd rather be like the owner of this innocent blade and choose to judge myself. ”
"Self-judgment is guilty!" Jun Yan's mocking tone was full of disdain, "If death can solve the problem, we are all willing to die!!"
At this moment, a thin skeleton walked out of the group of skeletons, its steps were very light, it walked up the stairs very hard, it took half a column of incense to walk to it, and then turned around and bowed to the shadow of the monarch, and said in a tone full of relief, "Lord Xianzong has returned, we have seen hope, millions of years of waiting, and finally changed back to the present dynasty...... Everything is worth it!"
It was a woman's voice, her head looked at Fang Lei silently, she didn't speak, she bowed respectfully, turned around and walked outside.
Looking at the skeleton that was fading away, Fang Lei thought for a while, and then suddenly roared, "No, no, I will never allow you to die! From now on, I swear that no one will die again!"
Fang Lei rushed out uncontrollably to grab the skeleton and convey his bone fire to the other party to keep his life alive.
But the moment he touched the other party's arm, there was a "bang", and the other party's bones all disintegrated.
This unknown female powerhouse rejected Fang Lei's kindness, the subtle changes in the bone pieces on her cheeks were the most normal smiles, and the echo was forever imprinted in Fang Lei's heart, "Compared with those dead clansmen, I can see today, it's worth it, Xie Lu Xie!"
Still holding a piece of her white bone in his hand, Fang Lei knelt on the ground weakly, his body trembling inexplicably, unable to say even a word.
He could finally understand what it meant to be guilty of self-judgment. Yes, witnessing the death of each and every one of them will bring great disappointment to these skeletons, a person can live without caring about himself, but he can't care about the departure of his clan, especially after such a long time, whether it is their bones or hearts, they are already fragile to the point of collapse!
"Don't be frustrated, you're not too late, my biggest problem is that I don't know how to keep them alive - now's the time for you to do something. If you can do it, from now on, you are my brother and the savior of my people, and I will definitely assist you to go to the outer worldly realm, even at the cost of fighting against the Mourning God Monarch. From now on, my destiny will always be tied to you!"
As the head of a sect of the Immortal Sect, the powerful monarch who commanded more than one million Immortal Sects actually had a strong begging in his tone, what dignity he needed to let go.
When he returned, only a small half of the clan remained, most of them died silently in the passing time, seeing that they were still waiting for him, Jun Yan cried out in pain, "Save them, save them." ”
It is still the communication between souls, the dense group of skeletons, and they don't know the experience between the Dao Monarch and Fang Lei, who have survived here for millions of years, and witnessing Fang Lei's arrival is like seeing a ray of light in the eternal darkness, and the desire to survive is ignited again.
Fang Lei stood up, squeaked, and just nodded at the shadow of Jun Yan.
He chose to leave this cave, and the tacit understanding between them no longer needed to make any promises, but to fulfill them with practical actions.
Not for anything else, just for one belief.
"You must live, no one is missing!"
Fang Lei thought to himself, Jun Yan had been away from the skeletons for millions of years, and there must be a lot of things to say between them, and he would definitely mention the process of his friendship with Jun Di's predecessors, these would be a picture full of warmth for the skeletons. What I have to do now is actually very simple, protect them, and there can be no more even a slight difference.
