Chapter 23: The Legend of the Bone Soul King
After Zhao Hao and his party entered the passage, the entire passage was unusually long, and the passage was engraved with murals and some extremely complex texts, which looked very ancient.
"Brother Zhao, do you know the contents of this mural?" Lone Wolf asked.
"Hmm...... What's this...... I did research on these strange texts, and I can really see something in combination with this mural. Zhao Hao said.
In fact, Zhao Hao didn't know what these murals were drawing at all, so the story and design here were all made up by himself, and this mystery could not be solved until the later stage, but Zhao Hao didn't mind spoiling these things here.
"This mural tells the legend of the legendary super powerhouse, the founder of the Temple of the God of War, and the legend of the Bone Soul King, the head of the four kings in ancient times. Zhao Hao said.
"Bone Soul King?" Zhuo Yue became interested, "This Bone Soul King is from a storybook, and there are still many controversies about whether it really exists!"
Lone Wolf said, "This Bone Soul King has very few admirers in our Page City, but I have been to other places, and some cities can be said to worship the Bone Soul King to the point of madness. Everywhere is the rumored statue of the Bone Soul King, as well as his mount, the legendary Divine Beast Chaos Ancient Dragon. ”
"That's right, the murals here are just about some legends of the Bone Soul King. Zhao Hao said.
The Bone Soul King is the king of the ancient era.
This continent can be said to be extremely barren in ancient times, and various civilizations are still in their infancy. Just like the current lord occupies one side of the city, the strong people at that time had their own tribes, and this Bone Soul King was also one of the chieftains of many tribes at the beginning.
The people of the Flood Era did not have a formed cultivation system, and the spiritual root was still in an unstable period, and the Bone Soul King successfully cracked the difficulty of cultivation at this time, and his ability soared all the way, and began to gradually annex the surrounding tribes, slowly occupying the entire continent, and once became an invincible myth.
After ruling the entire continent for several years, the Bone Soul King's body began to gradually age, and the path to immortality that he had painstakingly studied seemed to have begun to make a breakthrough.
To carry out the immortal formation, you must also need other strong people who can match the Bone Soul King to launch, so the Bone Soul King established the War God Temple and began to cultivate new strong people.
Since the Bone Soul King knew that his lifespan was short, he couldn't afford to wait and needed to do his best to cultivate newcomers.
So he developed the professional system, the spiritual root cultivation rules, these methods have been slowly developed in later generations, and they have become today's cultivation methods, it can be said that in this worldview, the Bone Soul King is the originator of cultivators.
However, the Bone Soul King devoted himself to cultivating his juniors and leaked his cultivation methods to the people, and the people also launched a cultivator frenzy.
More than ten years later, the Bone Soul King's physical illness suddenly deteriorated, so he hurriedly gathered the descendants and priests he had cultivated to begin the ritual of becoming a god Dafa.
As a result, due to the haste of preparation and eagerness, the formation failed, and all the priests and strong men who participated in this sacrifice died. And the Bone Soul King was also counterattacked.
At the same time, a wave of rebellions broke out in various places, and the other three kings of the ancient era rose up to kill the Bone Soul King, and the Temple of the God of War became a place where the powerful of the past dynasties left their names. Out of respect, the name of the Bone Soul King was also engraved in the Temple of the God of War.
"This mural is the same as our legend, could it be that this is the burial ground of the Bone Soul King?" Zhuo Yue asked.
"Impossible, how could the Bone Soul King's graveyard be so shabby. Zhao Hao said, "At that time, the three kings overthrew the Bone Soul King, but the Bone Soul King was once a faith, so he was buried by the three kings. It can't be so rudimentary. ”
"Then this place is not the burial ground of the Bone Soul King, so here it is?" Lone Wolf asked.
"This is a priest under the Bone Soul King, who went into hiding in this place, and then died, so he went to this place to build a secret realm, and hid his treasures here. Zhao Hao said.
"Ah, it's not the burial ground of the Bone Soul King?" said Zhuo Yue with some disappointment.
"The Bone Soul King's graveyard is extremely luxurious and complicated, if it were the Bone Soul King's graveyard, then we would have died a long time ago, let alone looking for treasures. Zhao Hao said.
"Uh-uh, too. Zhuo Yue shrank her head.
"This place is enough for us to eat. Zhao Hao smiled, "We've arrived." ”
After passing through the mural passage, a golden hall appeared in front of the three of them, and the center of the hall was a blood-red six-pointed star array. It looks no different from the simplicity on the outside.
The lone wolf said, "This is the treasure field, isn't it?"
Zhao Hao said, "Yes, this is the treasure land. Our next step is to crack this formation. ”
Zhuo Yue sent out a light dart that turned into ashes the moment he entered the formation.
"Can't do it. Zhuo Yue said, "I'm afraid this formation can't be passed by a strong attack." ”
Zhao Hao said, "This is the Ancient Alchemy Array, a formation created by a professional alchemist who is almost extinct. It's very different from the formation that can be passed by attacking now. ”
"The wisdom of the ancients is truly wonderful. Lone Wolf praised.
"The wisdom of the ancients is wonderful, and it's not that I made it up. Zhao Hao thought secretly.
"Brother Zhao Hao, how should this formation be broken?" Zhuo Yue asked.
"This kind of formation, you can't attack by force, you can only outwit. Zhao Hao said, "If you attack, it will be like a knife just now, which will turn into powder in the corrosion of the formation." ”
"Hmm. Zhuo Yue agreed, "How to outwit it?"
"The old way, using blood as a medium. Zhao Hao said, "The ancient magic circle is not so bells and whistles, in fact, it can be cracked by only using blood sacrifices. ”
"This ...... There are only three of us, how much blood do we have to let's go?" Zhuo Yue asked.
"I don't know, anyway, before we run out of blood, we can probably open it. Zhao Hao said.
In fact, in the original work, when Ling Yun and his party used the blood sacrifice, they accidentally triggered the divine blood on Ling Yun's body, and they defeated this magic circle in one fell swoop.
Now the three of them don't have divine blood on their bodies, but the spiritual root of the lone wolf in the three of them is blood attribute, maybe his blood can break the formation, which is also a move by Zhao Hao. If it works, it only takes a little blood to open the formation, and if it doesn't, I'm afraid that the three of them will bleed heavily.
"I'll do it first. Zhuo Yue said, and then cut the palm of his hand with a dagger, and a few drops of blood dripped on the magic circle.
Zhao Hao's author's perspective is automatically triggered, showing 1%.
"It's not enough. Zhao Hao said.
"I'll try. The lone wolf said, and then cut the skin with a knife, and a few drops of blood dripped onto the circle.
“3%。 Author's point of view shows.
"I'll go, isn't this over?" Zhao Hao sighed, "It seems that I have encountered the worst situation, I can only come once by myself, and there will be more blood." ”
"Looks like there were a few more bloodies. Zhao Hao said, "Zhuo Yue is a girl, so let's have less blood, you have nothing wrong with the lone wolf, right?"
Lone Wolf said, "My cultivation is also based on blood, and I hope that the treasure I obtain can be worthy of the blood I left. ”
"You can rest assured, this secret realm is so designed, the status of the priest is definitely not low, and the treasures here can also suit your taste. Zhao Hao promised.
"Brother Lone Wolf, you can rest for a while, let me come. Zhao Hao said, and then he also cut the palm of his hand, and a drop of blood dripped on the ground.
“4%。 ”
"Sure enough, you still have to come little by little!" Zhao Hao sighed.
Just as Zhao Hao was about to continue dripping blood, the magic circle suddenly shook.
“5%......”
“10%......”
“25%......”
There has been a crazy rise in numbers. Although Zhuo Yue and the lone wolf couldn't see the data, they also felt that something was wrong in the face of the violent vibration of the formation.
"What's going on?" Zhuo Yue asked, "Brother Zhao Hao, is your blood poisonous?"
Zhao Hao shook his head, "Maybe it's the reaction of the blood of the three of us......" In fact, Zhao Hao was also very strange in his heart, the blood was actually used by himself to produce this effect. Is there any hidden buff in your body that you don't know about?
However, these are all put on hold for the time being, and the first thing to solve is the matter in the circle.
After the circle shattered, the broken red fragments were scattered all over the ground, and then gradually coalesced on the ground.
"Prepare for battle!" said Lone Wolf.
"Not necessarily. Zhao Hao waved his hand, "This is the image left by the priest before his death." ”
The red shards gradually coalesced into a human figure in a robe.
"This is the master of the secret realm, the priest. Zhao Hao said.
"Unexpectedly, my secret realm was still discovered. The priest said. "When I created this secret realm, I didn't overstate its difficulty. so that future generations may inherit my treasure. But I also set a ban that each person can only come in once in their life, and each person can only take one item with them. When you leave, the mechanism will be reactivated. ”
"I am a priest under the Lord Bone Soul King, Lord Bone Soul King died with hatred, I hope that future generations can take up the banner of Lord Bone Soul King and let the beacon fire ignite this land of rebels again!"
After speaking.
"He is still a faithful protector of the Lord. Zhuo Yue sighed.
"One person can only take one?" Lone Wolf shook his head, "Then it looks like we need to pick a good thing." ”
The ground gradually changed again, and dozens of open boxes slowly appeared, and the boxes were all filled with gold and various secret exercises and magic weapons.
