Chapter 282: The Bronze Pillar Fire Palace
In the darkness, the narrow single-plank bridge became the only one in front of him, and there was darkness on the left and right that was beyond the reach of light, even if Ling Qingyun took out the strong light crystals to shine, it would be useless, and there seemed to be a black mist under the single-plank bridge, swallowing up all the light.
"Woo......" A gust of wind struck, and the chill that slapped on the skin was even more than ever, like the cold that froze the bone marrow and blood.
Ling Qingyun frowned, even if he couldn't see it, he faintly felt the danger of the single-plank bridge, and there was a faint gaze in the black mist, hostile and cold.
After patrolling left and right, Ling Qingyun was sure that there was no other way, so he had to take a deep breath and step on the single-plank bridge, the single-plank bridge was not particularly narrow, and it was reasonable to be able to pass easily with Ling Qingyun's sense of balance, but since he boarded the single-plank bridge, there was a chill erosion, and the gusts of yin wind were like a cry, which made people's scalp numb.
Even if he drew his sword and looked around, Ling Qingyun walked steadily, the gusts of yin wind blowing around him only made him frown but couldn't shake his pace, until a click sounded, and he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good.
How could he step on a single-plank bridge with a way of stepping on snow without a trace? It was clearly a problem of the single-plank bridge itself, and he immediately exerted his body method to the extreme, trying to pass before the bridge broke, but to no avail, and it was the entire bridge deck that collapsed in an instant!
True Qi condensed into a cyclone under his feet, Ling Qingyun stepped into the air as if he had a substantial volley, and even took out the flying claw from the space bracelet and shot towards the opposite shore, a suction force was suddenly generated, even if he stood on the flat ground, it was difficult to resist, not to mention that he was in mid-air? Ling Qingyun fell in an instant, all he could do was to slash out in an instant the moment he sensed the danger was coming!
It was the sound of flesh and bones being torn, and the attacker was torn alive before he even had time to scream, and he saw the figure of the attacker through Jin Mang Ling Qingyun, which was a strange crocodile with a body length of more than a zhang, whose eye sockets were almost gone, and his body was full of pimples like a toad, full of sharp teeth and unusually sharp, and when he looked closely, he found that the forefeet of this strange crocodile were double fins, which was even more strange.
"Swamp?" The viscosity of the soles of his feet made Ling Qingyun understand the situation, this was really very unexpected, there were swamps in the underground ruins, and there were crocodile-like monsters inhabiting the underground ruins? The reality didn't give him time to think about it, there was a sound in the distance, thinking that the enemy was approaching, Ling Qingyun gritted his teeth, and approached in the direction of the opposite bank before.
The swamp exploded, and an even larger purple-black giant crocodile opened its bloody mouth, Ling Qingyun turned around and cut off the huge crocodile's head with a sword, and used his footwork to avoid the pounce of the other giant crocodile, but was bitten by the calf of the other giant crocodile that lurked deeper, and dragged it towards the depths of the swamp.
"Die!" His eyes were cold, a beam of golden light penetrated the giant crocodile's skull, and there was a cyclone around his feet, and the sword intent exploded like a whirlpool of tightly closed mouths, and the sharp toothed Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers and splashed out, in fact, if it weren't for Ling Qingyun's cultivation of the Xuanyuan Swinging Qi Method to the fourth realm, the true qi could be emitted from the whole body and highly condensed, and it was really not easy to break free from the crocodile's mouth.
Even so, Ling Qingyun, who had a golden body and jade body, also left two rows of tooth marks on his legs, which didn't look like a crocodile bite, but more like a snake tooth bite marks.
"Strange and poisonous?" Ling Qingyun didn't dare to stay for a long time, and used his body technique to the extreme, passing through the swamp, swinging his sword and killing countless giant crocodiles along the way, but he didn't even have time to pick up the demon coreโit seemed that this creature didn't have a demon core, and it felt like that.
At the end of the swamp, the long-lost land was exciting, and the reed grass swaying in the wind also had a sense of intimacy, but Ling Qingyun was vigilant for a while, and the sword qi swept away the reeds, as he expected, when he tasted the reeds, the reeds around him squirmed, and approached with teeth and claws, but fortunately, Ling Qingyun blocked it with his sword qi, and there was no danger to pass through the reeds that were more than a zhang wide.
"What kind of demon is this tenacity no worse than rattan?" Ling Qingyun glanced back at the reeds and the group of monster crocodiles in the tail tu, and even when he landed on land, he was thinking deeply.
What exactly are these crocodiles and reeds, how can they grow underground, is there a large array of sufficient nutrients or is there another channel? When I escaped earlier, I seemed to see the crocodile fighting for a corpse, which seemed to be humanoid but not clothed, and was too short to look like a monkey.
"The monsters have also come to explore the ruins, and these crocodiles seem to be somewhat similar to the strange fish in the snowy mountains and ice lakes. The more he thought about it, the more chaotic it became, Ling Qingyun walked into the cave in front of him, and the originally pleasant sound of gurgling water fell into his ears, which made him feel frightened again, could it be that there are some monsters hiding here?
He saw the glowing stalactites, saw the craggy stalagmites, there was a dripping sound of water, and the cave seemed to be a dream world, which made him trance, could this ghostly terrain also be built by the Khan Long Kingdom?
An exquisite wooden box floated down the flowing water, and Ling Qingyun, who picked it up, suddenly showed a shocked face, the material and carving of the wooden box were not surprising, what was terrible was the thing in it: a strange shape, like a round fruit climbing a python's blue and blue fruit, a fruit not much bigger than a red date released an appetizing breath of life, even if he didn't know this kind of strange fruit, Ling Qingyun also believed that it was worth no less than ten thousand gold.
It's completely worthy of this danger, but the question is where does this fruit come from? Spirit stones, bamboo slips, puppets, etc., may last for thousands of years if carefully stored, but how can a fruit that has been separated from the trunk of a tree be immortal for thousands of years and still be so fresh?
Unless, this is just off!
"Is there still a spiritual fruit tree in the underground palace? Even if there is, who will pick the fruit and put it in a wooden box and go down the river?Open the spiritual array spirit, or is it something else?" Ling Qingyun became more and more shocked, since he entered the Khan Long Ruins, he had been constantly in contact with doubts and secrets, and he was overwhelmed, the puppets that could slash the Golden Body Realm, and the strange crocodiles that could eat the Gold Body Realm were not really dangerous, the terrible thing was that everything in the Khan Long Ruins was like an invisible net, so that he could not figure it out, and he could only struggle in vain.
Is this really so simple to inherit? What is the purpose of the Lord of the Khan Long Kingdom, and what are the secrets of this underground world with a ghostly and magical scene? Question after question, put away the strange fruits, and through the cave, Ling Qingyun was eager for answers.
The stone staircase breaks the nature of the cave, and as you climb the stairs, the dusk glow replaces the dreamy colors, and the chill fades away in favor of a kind of dry heat, which moves from ice to fire.
The copper pillar reaches the sky, the flames are blazing, this is the most intuitive feeling of Ling Qingyun at the top of the steps, the fire starts from nowhere, it may be the underground below the giant copper pillar, this scorching flame similar to magma is clearly the legendary earth fire, even so, is the copper pillar suppressing lava?
This was another unbelievable thing, and the moment he stepped into the main hall, eyes also focused on Ling Qingyun's body.
A heroic man in light armor, a strong man with dragon and tiger arm prints, a young and beautiful fair woman, and a sloppy old man in ragged clothes...... Some were in groups of three or two, and some stood on one side, forming a total of more than a dozen circles, but they were all looking at Ling Qingyun, a newcomer.
"It's a new direction. The younger one muttered, which made Ling Qingyun's heart flutter, new direction? Does it mean that none of them came from the Great Cave? There seemed to be many other directions? So how huge is this Khan Long Ruins?
"Hehe, I thought it was someone, it turned out to be a little doll. The child should go home and feed, this is not a place for you to play at home. A gray-robed man sneered hoarsely under the hat, and Ling Qingyun's makeup obviously couldn't hide it from him.
"The senior's words are wrong, what does it have to do with the age of those who are able to live in the world?" Ling Qingyun smiled indifferently, he saw that the strength of the gray-robed man was profound, not the Linghua Realm but also the peak of the Golden Body, and there was no one in this place whose cultivation was under the Golden Body Realm, it was conceivable how fierce the competition for the fate of the Khan Long Ruins would be, and his disfigurement technique that was not a good skill would inevitably be recognized.
But so what? Before coming to the Khanlong Ruins, he was ready to reveal his identity, and he was not afraid to fight fiercely with a large number of golden-bodied powerhouses and even the Linghua Realm, for him, this was even another opportunity in addition to the relics and treasures.
"Hehe, don't pay attention to the words of the old monster, brother, I'm all young and handsome, why don't you come over and talk about it?" Some people smiled and extended an olive branch to Ling Qingyun, a small group composed of young people, led by black hair and purple eyes, releasing a powerful aura that pointed directly at the late stage of the golden body.
"Brother Tai's good intentions are in his heart, but he is used to acting alone. Ling Qingyun smiled and bowed his hand, and the other party also smiled and nodded in return: "In this case, I won't force it, but this Khan Long Ruins is mysterious, and it is better for everyone to support each other if they have the opportunity." โ
Saying that, the young man explained the current situation to Ling Qingyun, it turned out that the people here had all stepped into the Golden Gate, but everyone had taken different paths, and had also experienced different tests-as for the harvest? In order to avoid being blushed by people, naturally no one mentioned it, all in all, the ruins of Khan Long were ridiculously large, and everyone had different experiences and finally gathered here.
It is worth noting that the monks here obviously do not include all the entrants, maybe only half or even less, which means that the ruins, there is still a space of the same level in the Golden Gate today, which is really amazing.
Of course, it is also an amazing thing to enter so many golden body powerhouses in the short time that the ruins are opened, which shows how many people are attracted to the ruins.
"Then what does it mean to stay here?" Ling Qingyun was puzzled, and the young man patiently explained to him: "There is no way forward, it seems that it will not be opened until a certain time, everyone is waiting for the bell to ring and compete for the treasures that will appear at that time." โ
Ling Qingyun looked around and saw a golden body with a simple and powerful combat sword, which must be one of the treasures, as for the others, they must have been in the bag, how could they take it out and be blushed?
There are also people who try to force their way through the level and destroy the main hall and even the copper pillars, but their fate is ...... The young man was silent, as if he was quite afraid of it.
Ling Qingyun, who understood the situation, nodded, and chose to stand alone and pay attention to his surroundings. The atmosphere here is relatively quiet, and the occasional opponent is mostly a sworn enemy, and most of them are silent, from time to time sweeping their vigilant gaze to others and being wary of their opponents.
Not everyone is hostile and regards others as competitors, the previous youth explained the current situation to Ling Qingyun, and some called on everyone to tide over the difficulties together, and even suspected that the ruins of Khan Long were a conspiracy, and the lord of Khan Long had ulterior motives......
Among the many powerhouses, Ling Qingyun also saw two eye-catching figures, they were actually two demon beasts that were not big in size but exuded terrifying might, and the strength could be seen from the blood stains around them, otherwise the two demon beasts would definitely be attacked by a group of people who killed people in front of everyone.
"I'm afraid they're all fifth-order demon beasts!" Ling Qingyun was secretly vigilant, he hadn't seen a single fourth-order demon beast when he was exploring this area before, where did these two come from? The water here is indeed too deep.
After Ling Qingyun, there were also strong people with golden bodies who walked into the hall one after another, and when they learned of the current situation, they behaved differently, and finally they all chose one place to stand and distance themselves from the others.
Until, the bell rings!
