Chapter 153: Exploration
There are many statues in the holy city, and when it comes to the real heartland, statues of gods can be seen everywhere. However, most of them were damaged, some with broken hands and feet, some with no heads, and many were pushed to the ground, drowning in mud and grass.
Studying these idols, you will definitely get a lot of clues about the civilization of the Holy City.
However, these are not in Zhao Lingtai's consideration. He is not a historian, nor is he a lover of demon culture.
When he arrived here, Zhao Lingtai slowed down, like an ordinary person, strolling among them, walking slowly, looking here, looking there, there was no specific purpose, where to go.
The central area of the Holy City was full of dangers and dangers, and the idle cultivators did not dare to enter at all, so as far as to see, it was desolate and there were no people in sight.
Along the way, halfway through, in fact, Zhao Lingtai encountered a lot of cultivators. However, most of the time he ignored it and floated by, without any intersection with the other party. The time when the giant python was killed, it was relatively close to each other, but there was still no conversation.
Killing the giant python, I just felt that the other party was coiled in the middle of the canyon, blocking the way forward.
The whole body of the demon beast is a treasure, and when it is cut open, it can be sold for a lot of money, but what does it have to do with Zhao Lingtai?
It has to be said that people are hierarchical, and different levels determine their vision and needs. In the eyes of hunters, those demon beasts are rare treasures, but in Zhao Lingtai's eyes, they are just a pair of flesh and skin, and they can't be looked at.
He walked as if he were walking in the back garden, which seemed freehand.
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Lingtai traveled all over the area. But in terms of area, compared to the entire holy city, it may only be regarded as a small corner.
I don't know if it's lucky, he didn't encounter a powerful monster during this period, and it's very peaceful.
When night fell, Zhao Lingtai chose a place to spend the night in advance, which was a huge statue of the demon god.
This idol is more than ten zhang high, with wings on its back and horns on its head.
However, the style of the god statue of the demon clan has always been exaggerated, and it is very artistically handled, and it is difficult to distinguish.
Because the shape of many gods is actually equivalent to a totem, not a real reference, and there is no specific prototype.
The idol is tall, even if it is mutilated, but it is quite wide on the top, and there are many suitable places for sheltering, which can be lived on the shoulder, on the top of the head, and in the nose...... Condescending, elegant.
Roasted a sheep last night, tonight Zhao Lingtai has no interest in cooking meat, and he doesn't feel hungry, meditates cross-legged, and can spend the night casually.
The place he had chosen was above the nose of the statue, where a large piece was missing, forming a platform that was several square meters enough for one person. Although there is nothing to cover the roof, it is better to have a wide view and an unobstructed view.
Look at this night sky, the moon is bright, the stars are shining, there should be no rain.
After sitting on it, Zhao Lingtai took out the map, unfolded it, and looked at it slowly according to the light of the stars and moon.
Previously, the focus was mainly on the direction of the path leading to the ruins of the Holy City, but now when we reach the destination, what we pay attention to is the distribution of the entire ruins of the Holy City.
For thousands of years, as the cultivators continued to explore the ruins of the holy city, they had to explore the basic outline of the city for six or seven points, and when it was depicted, it was a map.
Of course, the more detailed the map, the better, and the same is true for business. The gold content of the map is good to sell, and it can be sold at a high price.
The one that Zhao Lingtai bought was originally the best, not only did it draw the various paths leading to the ruins in great detail, as well as the best routes, but also made a lot of detailed introductions to the pattern of the holy city.
On the map, the holy city is divided into more than a dozen areas, ranging in size, and half of them are marked with written information, mainly about the dangers contained in them.
For example, there is a core area, which says that there is a four-legged toad entrenched in this place, covered with poison, and between swallowing and spitting, the poisonous mist sprays thin, covering the area, forming an extremely powerful forbidden area, even if the monks of the Yang God Realm enter, it is quite dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will not be able to enter or exit......
Another example is an area in the southwest corner, where a large swarm of black-hearted bees is marked, and there are thousands of them, so many that they are frightening to death. Once someone approaches and alarms the bee colony, a large number of black-hearted bees will swarm out, covering the sky and the sun, and the surrounding can surround people to death, not to mention that the tail needles of each black-hearted bee are extremely vicious, comparable to a five-step snake......
Obviously, in order to explore this information, there must have been many cultivators who paid the price with their lives.
There are also many areas that are blank, painted only with cinnabar, and the color is bright red, indicating that this is an unknown area and there is a great danger.
Unknown place, what kind of fierce things will exist in it is unknown, but from the four-legged toad and the black-hearted bee swarm, their strength is already comparable to the human immortal level of a cultivator, no wonder for so many years, many places inside have not dared to enter.
Asking himself, Zhao Lingtai felt that he had practiced his swordsmanship well, but if he faced tens of thousands of black-hearted bees, he also felt that his scalp was numb, and he would never provoke them unless he had to.
Soon, Zhao Lingtai's gaze fell on the area in the northeast corner.
On the map, it was painted black. Marked with four big words: Netherlands!
It is not difficult to understand that the meaning of the underworld is where the dead are.
So, that's where the ghosts of the dead gather......
These things, for ordinary people, are quite terrifying, but for Zhao Lingtai - to be precise, for Zhao Lingtai's demon body, it is a place that cannot be sought.
Along the way, at night, the demon body went out to forage for food, and indeed swept away some ghosts. However, most of them are thin in energy, fragmentary, and in layman's terms, they are stuffed between the teeth, not to mention filling the stomach, and it is not enough to make a tooth sacrifice.
If there is such a place, full of ghosts, undead wandering, let the demon body in, how happy and joyful will the puppy be?
After a full meal, the strength of the demon body will definitely be improved.
"Well, next, let's go to this netherworld!"
In an instant, Zhao Lingtai made a decision.
Walking aimlessly in the ruins of the Holy City is inefficient, really useless, and time-consuming.
Speaking of time, it has been a while since he went down the mountain, and Zhao Lingtai is still worried about the mountain gate, worried that he will leave for too long, and when the news leaks, there will be forces ready to move, which is not good for Lingtai.
Therefore, Zhao Lingtai hoped to finish exploring the ruins of the Holy City as soon as possible, and whether he had any gains or not, he had to return to the mountain gate.
While he was thinking about it, in the distance to the southeast, there was a strange howl sound, like a frog chirping, and its sound was fierce and clear.
At such a distance, the sound can be transmitted here, and the strength of this fang can be imagined.
Could it be the poisonous four-legged toad?
Zhao Lingtai thought, closed his eyes, and gradually settled down.
