Chapter 9: Adult Flame Demon?
The huge black dragon that stood at the end of the field of vision opened its bloody mouth, and the darkness was incomparably black, as if it was leading to the netherworld. And the pieces of scale armor on the dragon's head flashed with a shocking cold light, which was in response to the sentence that the dragon was dead, even if it looked at its eyes that had already lost their lustre, everyone present would have a moment of trance, and their minds would be slightly fragile, and they would even lose their fighting spirit directly.
But fortunately, all the mercenaries present are the elites of this line of mercenaries, and the most unfortunate is also the realm of Gangqi, although they are suppressed by the residual power of this dragon head, but fortunately, they are not too out of shape.
Yi Caixing recovered from a brief loss of consciousness, his face became more and more ugly, and he made a few gestures extremely quickly, silently instructing everyone around him to act carefully.
The members of the Fengyun Mercenary Regiment almost stepped into action, staring at the huge dragon head.
"Sure enough, as I expected, the madmen of the Senluo Temple actually killed an adult black dragon to serve as the entrance to their palace. Tsk, this kind of handwriting, I think this place should be one of the Senluo ruins thousands of years ago, yes, it's a pity that the essence of this dragon head has been lost, otherwise it will be a good tonic for you. ”
When he saw this black dragon's head, the Lord recognized the identity of this terrifying demon beast before it was alive. An adult black dragon, its strength is infinitely close to that of Wuzun, even the powerhouse of the peak of the tenth stage of Tianyuan does not dare to say that it can defeat this creature, the people of the Senluo Temple can actually use the corpse of such a strong existence as the entrance to the gate of the underground palace, Bai Yang couldn't help but be a little amazed in his heart, and then said: "But looking at the traces in front of this entrance, it is obvious that someone has already arrived before us." ”
"The Senluo Holy Sect has always been cautious about the arrangement of entrances, and if those people can find the holy platform and open the entrance, it means that they have at least one dragon artifact in their hands. Hey, yes, that's right!" The Juggernaut was speculating, but there was a flash of inspiration in his mind, and there was a trace of imperceptible excitement suppressed in his voice: "Boy, if you are lucky this time, your chance to break through the Dingyuan Realm will come!"
"Oh?" Bai Yang suddenly became interested.
After his cultivation progress reached the ninth stage of Gangqi, he did not go any further, not because the threshold of the ninth to tenth stages stumped him, but because Bai Yang now had the idea of accumulating thick and thin, and constantly compressed his strength, and the accumulation of strength broke through two stages in one fell swoop, reaching the realm of Dingyuan.
However, although this idea is very beautiful, it will take a lot of effort to complete it, and what he lacks now is also a suitable opportunity.
The master smiled in a low voice and pretended to be mysterious: "If this trip is successful, at least your next cultivation path will not be so painful." I didn't expect you to have such a great opportunity at the moment, but how much you can get depends on your kid's luck. ”
Bai Yang had long been accustomed to the half-spoken behavior of the master, and after pursing his lips, he did not answer, and followed Yi Caixing and the others to the front of the dragon's head, staring at this bloody mouth that could accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.
Walking here, Yi Caixing didn't dare to move forward again, and after probing in a special way before the dragon head, he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This dragon head can isolate runes, and conventional methods can't detect the situation inside." ”
Hearing this, Dian Qianshan glanced at Mu Xibai and Xu Ruyi, who were following behind, and lowered his voice and said dissatisfiedly: "Regiment Leader, why do we have to work for this kind of person? It's better to quit now, it's a big deal not to have those task rewards!"
He had a very bad premonition in his heart, so that he was a little afraid.
However, Yi Caixing refused: "Since we have come to this point, there is absolutely no reason to quit." Qianshan, isn't it the dignity of the Fengyun Mercenary Group that we have always insisted on? Those brothers who died for this, they also thought about quitting, but there were so many dangerous missions, and no one retreated until the last moment, and now we can't retreat, and we have no way out!"
With a flicker in her eyes, Yi Caixing clenched her fists and stepped onto the stairs hidden in the dragon's head, and the sound of her footsteps seemed to be stepping on the hearts of everyone in the Fengyun Mercenary Group, which swept away the trace of fear in their hearts, and followed her steps.
Dian Qianshan also gritted his teeth, scolded himself secretly, and said loudly: "Captain wait for me!" As he spoke, he bumped Bai Yang with his shoulder, "Boy, follow closely!"
"These people have some backbone that belongs to cultivators. Bai Yang looked at the backs of those who entered the dragon head without hesitation, and he also had some feelings in his heart, so he took a deep breath and walked in.
And behind them, Mu Xibai stopped Xu Ruyi, who was about to enter it, and in the latter's surprised gaze, his voice trembled a little and said, "Don't go, wait a little longer......"
Xu Ruyi looked at him, blinked, and although he was a little puzzled, he still retreated.
It's just that she has some bad premonitions in her heart, because she has never seen such a Mu Xibai before. Whether it was insisting on asking those mercenaries to go ahead to explore the way, or retreating at a critical moment, these extremely normal things for other people seemed so strange when they were done by Mu Xibai.
"Could it be that Senior Brother is afraid of something?" Stealing a glance at Mu Xibai's side face, Xu Ruyi forcibly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and didn't dare to guess any more.
"This mission must not fail, absolutely!"
She didn't know that Mu Xibai had already gritted her teeth, the smell of blood spread between her lips and teeth, and her eyes were like a strange red light, revealing her fierceness.
And the dragon's eyes, which had already lost their lustre, also flashed with the same red light.
Entering the underground palace corridor where the dragon's head is connected, Yi Caixing and the others are full of vigilance in their steps, looking at the walls on all sides and the meaningless murals on them, they feel that everything here is full of an extremely depressing atmosphere.
"These murals are supposed to be the origin of the Sen Luo Holy Cult, you look at the eight-faced giant, that is the holy demon god they worship, Yan Darsa, the rumored demon god who has the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth. In fact, in the legends of many sects, it still existed, but because it was an era when there were many gods, a mere demon god, no matter how strong he was, he would not escape the fate of being sealed. The Senluo Holy Sect has always wanted to resurrect Yamadarsa, so each of these ruins has a part of its body, as long as these bodies are pieced together, and then find the Yamadarsa Demon Yuan that was sealed in the [Endless Earth] back then, this guy can be resurrected. The Juggernaut recalled for a while, remembering the origin of these murals, but he couldn't help but sneer: "It's a pity that the [Endless Earth's Heart] is definitely not a place that someone can reach in this era. And there is definitely more than one strong person sealed there, even if they have the opportunity to enter it, it is difficult to guarantee that those monsters with older qualifications and more powerful will not treat them as food. A group of fanatical believers who blindly follow lies, but they don't know the way, and the beliefs they follow do not exist at all. ”
For this kind of thing, Bai Yang didn't have any research, so naturally he couldn't interject. But by the time the Juggernaut explained the origin of the murals, they had already crossed the corridor and came to the front of a circular staircase.
Looking at this circular staircase that led to the ground without knowing how deep it was, Dian Qianshan's face turned pale, and he cowered and said, "Why don't you go down, I'll give you a lookout here?"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!" Yi Caixing grabbed him and walked directly towards the stairs.
And the moment Dian Qianshan stepped on the stairs with his feet in the air, his face was almost frightened, and he screamed miserably.
"He's afraid of heights, so don't pay attention. ”
When a mercenary passed by Bai Yang's side, he explained helplessly.
Bai Yang was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing, afraid of heights? This is really a strange problem for a mercenary.
Because when mercenaries are going to perform some dangerous missions, it is almost common to lurk in high places. If you are afraid of heights, then wouldn't Qianshan be able to complete these tasks?
This little episode passed quickly, and the most embarrassed Qianshan couldn't help himself, and was forced to step on this circular staircase by Yi Caixing. However, he was extremely worried that the steps under his feet would suddenly collapse, and he took every step carefully, which would ease the oppressive atmosphere a little.
"Look!"
Suddenly, a mercenary walked up to the window in the wall next to the circular staircase, pointed outside, and said in a trembling voice, "That's ...... What's that?"
Crash!
Yi Caixing and the others immediately gathered around and looked out through the small window angle.
Directly opposite them, there was a coiling dragon pillar that pierced straight into the ground, and looking at the size of the pillar and the many windows above, it was not difficult to see that it was also a circular staircase, and there were about two pillars like this in the vicinity, and the one they walked on, which stood on all sides. But this was not really surprising, what really shocked them was that in the center of these four dragon pillars, there was a light yellow stone slab about a hundred zhang long and wide, and four iron chains as thick as an adult's thigh firmly tied this stone slab to the center of the four stone pillars, and on that stone slab, it seemed to be the real entrance to the underground palace.
Merely......
Everyone in the Fengyun Mercenary Group suppressed their breathing at the same time, and looked at the strange-looking creature in shock, their eyes full of shock.
The huge creature that crunched in front of the entrance and snoring made their faces extremely pale.
"It's the Flame Demon, an adult Flame Demon!" Yi Caixing looked at the Flame Demon's four hooves and two horns burning with blue fire, and there was a tremor in his voice.
"Oh my God, how can there be such a thing here? This Flame Demon is probably as strong as the peak of the tenth stage of Dingyuan!"
A mercenary in the crowd who was extremely familiar with demon beasts guessed the strength of this fire demon, and it was like a judgment, which made everyone's faces sink.
"What should I do? If I want to retreat now, it's still too late. Dian Qianshan covered his mouth and made a muffled sound, and then at the moment when his words fell, a huge black stone door suddenly descended behind them, and the retreat was closed!
