Volume 1: Forsaken Lands Chapter 42: The Black and Red Skull
Kong Laosan's face became quite ugly, holding Dumb and running forward for half a pillar of incense, at this moment he had come to the extreme depths of the forbidden land, at a certain moment, Kong Laosan suddenly noticed a strange feeling, as if there was a layer of bubbles in the air in front of him, and he was broken by himself in an instant, this feeling is extremely subtle, if it were not for the sensitivity and abnormality of Kong Laosan's divine thoughts, I am afraid that if you don't pay attention to it, you will ignore the past.
This strange feeling disappeared in just an instant, and even Kong Laosan couldn't tell if it was his illusion, but at this moment, Kong Laosan obviously didn't have the energy to think about this, and after a while, after finding that there was no longer a single demonic qi mass around, he found a clean place to put Dumb down, and the healing pill in the cloth bag on his waist was taken out and stuffed into Dumb's mouth, and at the same time, the residual spiritual power in his body ran to the palm of his hand, and slowly attached it to Dumb's body to help him refine it.
After a full meal, Dumb slowly woke up, and at this moment Dumb looked very tired, flapped his wings, and shouted twice at Kong Laosan.
"Huh? You're going to ......."
Kong Laosan was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, took out a bunch of spirit stones from his waist and put them in front of Dumb, his heart was a little speechless, Dumb was not greedy, his long beak pecked lightly, and three spirit stones were swallowed into his abdomen, and then swaggered to the surroundings.
Seeing that Dumb's condition was obviously much better, Kong Laosan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, in Kong Laosan's heart, Dumb had already become a friend and companion in the true sense.
As Dumb came to his senses, Kong Laosan also began to explore his own situation, after half a cup of tea, Kong Laosan slowly opened his eyes, revealing a wry smile, the spiritual power in his body is less than one-tenth of the heyday, it has reached a precarious point, and even under the impact of the demonic flames just now, the soul has been damaged to a certain extent, although it is not a big problem, and it can recover by going back to meditate for a few days, but at this moment, it is obvious that it cannot be ignored.
"The bundle of immortal ropes was seriously damaged, and I made it look like this, and this time the loss was great. ”
Kong Laosan pursed his lips, thinking in his heart whether to leave first, wait until the future strength is improved, and then come to investigate when he is fully prepared, just about to call Dumb to discuss, but he felt that something was wrong, the surrounding environment seemed to be a lot empty, Kong Laosan subconsciously looked around.
"Huh, this is ......."
It was only at this moment that Kong Laosan noticed the surrounding scene, and as far as his eyes could see, it was a skeleton that seemed to be made of black and red crystals, and Dumb was looking around this skeleton with interest, not far from the skeleton, a pool of faint black water embedded in the ground, without waves, exuding a trace of silence.
The skeleton sat cross-legged on the stone, and the magic robe on its body still maintained its original appearance, which seemed to be an extremely ancient Taoist robe, but now it looked dull, as if it was about to turn into ashes when the wind blew.
Kong Laosan came to the skeleton and took a closer look, after a while, his pupils shrank slightly, and his face revealed a look of surprise, the skeleton in front of him was no different from an ordinary white bone skeleton, but the bones all over his body were actually blood-colored, and it was more appropriate to call it a blood bone skeleton.
Perhaps because of the age, the blood and bones on the body absorbed too much black demonic energy, revealing the appearance of the black and red skeleton now, and there was nothing else to be found.
At this moment, the dumb next to him seemed to be a little impatient, and with a flap of his wings, his long beak pecked at the black and red skeleton, looking like he was going to tear apart the skeleton in front of him.
Seeing this, Kong Laosan was just about to open his mouth to block it, but before he could open his mouth, a layer of blood light suddenly appeared around the skeleton's body, wrapping the body tightly, which was somewhat similar to the Vajra talisman, but the color was different.
This scene happened too suddenly, and when Kong Laosan reacted, he was shocked, picked up Dumb, and quickly retreated to the rear, and at the same time, the spiritual power in his body that was close to drying up was running wildly, ready to shoot at any time.
After a while, after discovering that this layer of blood light was just a layer of protective power, Kong Laosan breathed a long sigh of relief, and even the dumb in his arms also patted his chest, looking frightened, but then he became angry, and was about to rush over to dismantle the black bones, but was caught by Kong Laosan, and finally could only chirp helplessly twice.
Kong Laosan looked around, sighed softly, looked at the dumb in his arms, shook his head and said, "Go back, with our current strength, it is indeed a little difficult to explore this place, and after our strength is improved in the future, we will still have a chance!"
As if he understood Kong Laosan's words, Dumb stretched his neck and swept around, and suddenly flaped his wings and broke free from Kong Laosan's arms, and gently fanned two times and fell to the side of Yu Tan near the skeleton, and his eyes suddenly became blood-red.
Seeing this scene, Kong Laosan frowned, but found that Dumb didn't want to break through the secret tan, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and also took two steps forward, wanting to see what Dumb was going to do.
As soon as he arrived, two red lights suddenly shot out of Dumb's eyes, like a flashlight, extending to the Yu Tan in front of him, showing two red areas the size of a skull on the surface of the Yu Tan, as the two red areas slowly merged, the pitch-black Yu Tan that was originally covered suddenly became transparent, and through the red area, Kong Laosan could clearly see the scene below the Yu Tan.
It's just that the scene that Kong Laosan saw at this moment was quite weird, below the secluded Tan, there was actually an independent space, one of which was a shriveled old man with sparse white hair was driving a three-legged monster tripod more than half a person high, with the pinching of the handprint, the tripod spewed out black gas from time to time, and these black gases turned into all kinds of demons, and swooped towards a sword and a Buddha not far away.
The sword and Buddha in front of him were not illusory shadows, but real spiritual objects, covered in a layer of blue and gold two-color light, trying their best to resist the invasion of these demons.
Below the two spiritual objects, there is a wheel-sized wellhead, all kinds of walnut-sized rune ancient seals are almost carved around the wellhead, and the two spiritual objects are constantly wandering in the three points above the wellhead, which seems to be guarding the things in the well, and the shriveled old man, I don't know whether he has taken a fancy to the two spiritual objects or the things in the well, constantly controlling the monster Ding to impact, not far from the wellhead, there is a dilapidated and ancient but huge altar, which looks like it has long been deserted.
Just when Kong Laosan was stunned, the old man below seemed to have discovered something, and he seemed to curse in his mouth, and his hands suddenly pinched out a strange trick, and his palm suddenly poked back, and a claw wrapped in rich demonic qi actually grabbed in the direction of Kong Laosan through layers of black mist.
At this moment, the scene in front of Kong Laosan suddenly shattered like a mirror, and at the same time, a dumb anxious voice sounded in Kong Laosan's ears, but everything came too fast, although Kong Laosan also found that it was not good, but before he could move, the originally silent like stagnant water under his feet suddenly burst out with a strong breath of dead silence, and a claw the size of a head actually broke through the blockade of Youtan and came directly to Kong Laosan.
"Click!"
A crisp bone cracking sound sounded quietly, and Kong Laosan's whole person was thrown up directly, a mouthful of blood sprayed, and his body was like a sack, which happened to hit the blood bone skeleton next to him.
The skeleton, which was originally able to have a certain defensive power against the bombardment of spiritual power, directly fell apart in the face of this pure force impact, like rotten wood, turning into black and red broken bones, and the clothes around the skeleton directly decayed into flying ash at the same time as the entire skeleton fell apart.
Kong Laosan was shocked, he couldn't care about anything else, he endured the pain of the injury to his internal organs, and while stabilizing his body, he directly beckoned Dumb to leave quickly, but Kong Laosan just turned around, and a golden iron sound sounded, and when he looked down, between the pitch-black bones of the skeleton under his feet, a token the size of a palm and black lines all over his body that could not be seen was lying quietly on the ground.
At this moment, Kong Laosan didn't have time to think a lot, rolled it with one hand, put the token directly into his arms, and then his figure flashed, and a person and a crane quickly retreated towards the rear.
The two figures just tried their best to escape, and Kong Laosan, who was slapped by the palm, did not notice that at the moment when he smashed the skeleton just now, as the blood spurted out and stained the red and black bones, a trace of extremely pure dark red light escaped from the bone marrow of the black bone spine, silently invading Kong Laosan's body.
After the blow, there was no movement in the black water pool, which made Kong Laosan, who was running wildly, quietly relieved, but at this moment Kong Laosan was still a little worried, and it took a lot of effort when he came, and he didn't know if these prohibitions also had terrifying defensive power from the inside out, if so, I am afraid that he and Dumb would have to spend a lot of energy.
However, just as Kong Laosan had just come to the halfway point, his whole body suddenly stopped, and just ten zhang in front of him, countless dense demonic qi masses wandered away, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of him, and he couldn't take a step no matter what.
