Chapter 68: Lone Peak
Shen Shi gasped for breath, struggling to run up the seemingly unattainable and seemingly never-ending stone steps, and the ghosts behind him who were temporarily blocked by the wall of fire were now in a violent roar, after many repetitions, Shen Shi didn't need to look back to know that the fire barrier technique he had just cast had begun to weaken, and in a few moments, these countless ghosts would chase after him again.
However, the spiritual power in his body no longer seems to be able to support the fire barrier technique a few more times.
Perhaps, he will die in this mysterious labyrinth of Zhenlong Ancient Palace?
I don't know why, Shen Shi didn't have too much fear in his heart at the moment, of course, there was still a little nervousness, but maybe it was because he ran away for a long time, which made his mind a little numb, and even in his mind between escaping, he occasionally passed some fragments of his life in the demon world, and in the days when he was struggling to survive, he also faced the situation of life and death many times, but in the end, he finally survived.
At that time, the people who came and went beside him were all demon clans that the human race now despised and hated, although Shen Shiben also did not have a good impression of most demon clans in his heart, but the old white monkey and the stone pig were obviously different, and later, there was a little black pig.
It's just that to this day, the old white monkey and the stone pig have been buried in the gray lizard forest of the Guiyuan Realm, and only the little black pig is still by his side, maybe today...... He looked up, and suddenly found that Xiao Hei on the stone steps in front of him actually stopped, looking like he was waiting for him, but for some reason, his head never turned back, just looked ahead in a daze.
Shen Shi was suddenly a little embarrassed, thinking that he had just scolded Xiao Hei for being unrighteous, and it was really a bit excessive, although this pig was greedy and lazy, and had a lot of bad problems, it seemed that his nature was still good.
Thinking of this, Shen Shi's heart suddenly warmed up, and it seemed that his strength had recovered a little, and he rushed up the stone steps with a big gasp of strength under his feet, while shouting loudly in his mouth:
"Stupid pig, run, stay there and die!"
The little black pig remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard Shen Shi's shouts at all.
Shen Shi cursed in his mouth, rushed up in three steps and two steps, ran to Xiao Hei's side, and was about to roar angrily to wake up the stupid pig to run, when suddenly his body shook, his face showed a somewhat incredible and slightly desperate look, and he stood in place in a daze, motionless.
In front of him, there was no way out.
The stone stairs had come to an end, and there was only a small flat ground about five feet in front of them, and beyond that was a cliff, and at the foot was a deep, black and unfathomable abyss. Standing on the entrance of this cliff and looking out, you can see that there is a huge underground cave in front of you, the cliff is high and steep, as if a bottomless hole has been dug out in a huge mountain, and the bottom is dark, as if leading to the legendary netherworld.
But it was not completely dark, and in the middle of this great crypt stood a lonely and steep mountain, and a bright and dazzling white pillar of gold, falling from the dome above the crypt from nowhere, and shining on the top of the mountain, you could see that the peak was as smooth as if it had been cut with a knife, and there was a blood-red altar on it, and that brilliant pillar of light hung down on this altar.
In the depths of the light, there seemed to be something floating in the light, but the light was too dazzling, and Shen Shi couldn't see what it was for a while.
And under this strange peak, what emerges from the dark depths and tightly surrounds this mountain peak is an endless white bone, which looks like a white ocean, surrounding or surrounding this lone peak that stands proudly on the sea of bones.
The white bones are vast, like the sea and mountains, the highest in the place close to the lone peak, only more than ten zhang from the peak, and then gradually descend, to the place half of the surrounding towering cliffs, it has sunk into the bottomless darkness.
There was a dead silence, as if it had shrouded this mysterious place since time immemorial.
Then, it was broken by a terrible and shrill howl.
The ghost behind him was already approaching again, showing its teeth and claws, hideous and terrifying.
There is no way ahead, there are ghosts behind, there is no door to the sky, and there is an abyss below.
This road has finally come to an end.
※※※
Shen Shi Huo Ran turned around, his face was extremely pale, looking at the countless ghost creatures rushing from the stone steps behind, looking at those terrifying and hideous faces and hysterical howls, countless ghost fires were burning wildly, countless blood basins opened their mouths, and countless ghost claws were waving, as if they were about to rush in front of them in the next moment, drowning themselves, tearing themselves apart, drinking all the blood, and eating up the flesh and blood.
He roared, and with a wave of his hands, a flaming wall of fire fell again, but then his body shook violently, almost falling to the ground.
The ghosts in the cave passage roared again, and the sound of rage was endless, and I don't know how many times they were blocked by this abominable wall of fire, these ghosts had already been enraged beyond measure, and they all let out a crazy roar at Shen Shi, who was in a desperate situation behind the wall of fire.
But how long will this last wall of fire stop these ghosts?
Shen Shi only felt extremely tired, holding on to the stone wall, and slowly walked to the entrance of the cave next to the cliff, looking at the unfathomable darkness below, his eyes were blank and desperate. Beside him, Xiao Hei quietly leaned over, looked at Shen Shi, and snorted in a low voice, as if asking something.
Shen Shi shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "There's no way out, Xiao Hei." ”
Xiao Hei's head lowered slightly, and he was silent for a while, then gently rubbed Shen Shi's leg with his head, and quietly lay down at his feet.
Suddenly, behind the wall of fire that was still burning behind him, there was a commotion in the ghost group, Shen Shi turned his head with some difficulty, and through the firelight, he saw that a thin ghoul actually squeezed to the front from the ghost group, looked left and right, and suddenly opened his mouth to Shen Shi, and let out a sharp roar.
It was actually the first Master Wen who had become a ghost.
At this moment, it seems that after this period of chasing, the ghost thing that Master Wen has turned into has gradually become familiar with his body, plus his Taoism before his death is quite high, and his physical strength is also strong, and these ordinary ghost things around him do not seem to be his opponents, but he was squeezed away one by one, and came to the front of the ghost group again.
And it is obvious that the ghoul that Master Wen has turned into seems to have a particularly great hatred for Shen Shi, looking at it and gritting his teeth and being indignant, roaring and even beating his chest, which made Shen Shi a little surprised, but then he felt bored, he was going to die anyway, who cares about such a ghoul who has no intelligence?
Seeing Shen Shi turn his head with a little contempt, this thin ghoul looked like thunder, roared angrily, suddenly grabbed his hand to the side, and actually directly picked up a tall skeleton, and in the roar, he actually threw over the wall of fire and smashed it towards Shen Shi at once.
Although when crossing the wall of fire, the flame dance instantly turned the skeleton into a fireball, and the skeleton also let out a sharp howl, but its momentum was still fierce and abnormal towards Shen Shi, Shen Shi was also startled, and hurriedly hugged Xiao Hei to the side, narrowly avoiding it, and this unlucky skeleton flew out of the hole directly in the scream, falling into the endless dark abyss below.
After a while, a low voice echoed from below, like a stone falling into the sea, and like a faint insect chirping in the endless night.
The deep and seemingly eternal dark abyss seemed to have a slight commotion, and suddenly, a strange cry came from not far away from the cliff, as if something had been alarmed.
Then, like a terrifying ripple in the darkness, rippling in a circle, the terrifying roar from near to far, a little bit like a drop of water gradually turned into a river and then turned into a flood wave, booming.
Rao is deep desperate situation, Shen Shi was also startled, and took a look out of the cliff with the little black probe, but this glance shocked him again.
Before, his eyes and attention were attracted by the lonely peak in the center of the huge crypt, coupled with the urgency of the ghost chasing behind him, and he didn't notice the cliff around him, until this moment, he saw that on the cliff of this underground giant cave, in the looming and endless dark shadows, countless holes similar to the place he was in at the moment had been excavated, from top to bottom, all over the cliffs, at a glance, there were at least thousands of cliff caves.
And at this moment, the sound of ghost howls is like a huge wave rolling in, and in every hole above the cliff, there are ghost fires slowly lit up, in the darkness, in the shadows, making a crazy roar.
Everything in heaven and earth, endless darkness, everything, seems to have been reduced to a sea of ghosts.
※※※
Like the Huangquan Underworld, like a ghostly ghost, Shen Shi has never imagined such a terrible place in this world in his life, let alone imagined how there can be such an incredible number of ghosts like an ocean, at this moment, the blood in his whole body seemed to be cold to the bone, and even his breathing subconsciously stagnated.
Behind him, the whistling sound of the wall of fire gradually became quieter, the light of the fire gradually weakened, and the smug roar of the ghosts became louder and louder, one by one, restless, looking at the flesh and blood creature just a few feet away.
Xiao Hei snuggled in Shen Shi's arms, and his body seemed to tremble slightly.
Shen Shi hugged it tightly, and the warmth of flesh and blood between each other may be the last trace of warmth they have at this moment.
Until, the wall of fire is extinguished.
The fire is dark!
In the passage, countless ghosts howled
Beyond the cliff, countless ghosts roared in the sky.
In the darkness, in the abyss, under the lonely peak, on the mountain of bones, countless souls seem to be dancing, that is the roar of the wraith, that is the cry of the dead, that is the hatred of the living, that is the rebellion against heaven and earth.
Darkness came over the face.
Death struck.
Countless ghost claws fell in the darkness, desperately tearing forward and struggling, white bones flashing phosphorescent in the shadows, fangs frantically trying to bite, and countless eye sockets, only cruel and cold ghost fire shone and burned.
Then, in the darkness, under the cliff, in the roar of countless ghosts, a figure jumped out of the hole.
He hugged the little pig in his arms tightly, and under the faint light, they leaned close to each other, and behind them were countless white bone arms stretched out in an instant, and there were even many ghosts howling and unable to stop or being pushed by the ghosts behind them, staggering and screaming and being pushed off the cliff and falling into the dark and bottomless abyss.
Shen Shi's body turned in the air, if he was to be bitten and eaten by countless ghosts, he would rather jump out of the cliff like this, but the moment his body fell, for a moment, the corner of his eye seemed to suddenly see, and there seemed to be a few more figures suddenly on the altar above the lonely peak.
But then, he felt that his eyes were suddenly dark, and he and the little pig had fallen into the boundless darkness.
Sink down, and there is no light.
