Chapter 70: Yin Dragon
Under the dark abyss, on the shore of the endless sea of bones, it is really a little creepy that there is such a huge claw. Looking at this claw as huge as a hill standing in front of his eyes, Shen Shi really couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying creature the owner of this claw would be.
Xiao Hei moved in his arms, Shen Shi glanced at it, let go of his arm, and Xiao Hei immediately jumped to the ground. Before Shen Shi found it, this little black pig seemed to be near this paw, although I don't know how it came over, but it was obvious that Xiao Hei was also a little afraid of this paw, but in addition, it seemed to be a little different from usual, although a little scared, but still kept staring at this giant claw.
It's just that he almost died from the countless ghosts and creatures, and then fell into this eerie black abyss of the sea of bones, no matter who is afraid that he can't maintain the same mentality as he is in peace.
Shen Shi didn't pay much attention to Xiao Hei's appearance, and after his mind calmed down a little, with the faint glow of phosphorus fire here, he gradually found that there seemed to be something unusual about this giant claw beyond its huge size.
The most obvious thing is that this giant claw seems to be very, very old. The claw is divided into three toes, and there is scale armor on it, but under the faint light, you can vaguely see many places on the giant claw, and the scale armor has been peeled off, revealing gray-brown skin and flesh that looks very dry, and there is almost no luster to be seen, as if it has reached the point of running out of oil and withering the lamp.
Among the three toes of the giant claw, the hardest and most terrifying sword nail is no longer complete, the left nail has even completely fallen off, leaving only a bare piece of flesh, and the right nail is still there, but it is only half amputated, and there are several obvious broken cracks on it. In contrast, of the three toes on the giant claw, only the middle toe of the xiphoid nail looked to be more or less complete, and the nails that were four or five people tall were wide and pointed, and they were placed on the ground smoothly with the giant claws, and the sharp part at the front of the claw was slightly inserted directly into the ground, as if the incomparably hard rocky surface was nothing more than fragile tofu to the claw.
Shen Shi stood in place for a long time, staring at this giant claw, but the claw in the darkness remained motionless, as if it had merged with this darkness.
Perhaps, the owner of this giant claw, some unknown but terrifying beast in the depths of the darkness, has died?
Shen Shi couldn't help but think like this in his heart, or maybe he looked forward to it with a little expectation, but it was not a way to stand like this all the time, after he gritted his teeth, he greeted Xiao Hei softly, and then boldly walked towards the giant claw.
The tall shadow of the mountain was right in front of him, and the closer he got, the more clearly Shen Shi felt the enormity of this giant claw and the silent strong pressure, in front of this unknown terrifying creature, it really made people feel like an ant. But maybe this giant beast is really dead, and as Shen Shi walked in, even if he slowly walked to the side of the giant claw, this giant claw did not have any abnormalities or reactions.
Finally, Shen Shi stood next to the giant claw, looking at the gray-brown dry flesh in front of him, he paused for a moment, then hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently groped around the edge of the giant claw.
At the tentacle, a rough touch came back from the palm of his fingers, Shen Shi turned his eyes to look to the side, and found that somewhere not far away, there was still a piece of scale armor on the skin and flesh, so he walked over and touched it gently.
A single piece of scale armor looked the size of Shen Shi's body, and after touching the palm of his hand, Shen Shi obviously felt that this place seemed to be relatively smooth, but at the same time, that hardness also followed, Shen Shi's heart tightened, thinking that if this giant beast was in its heyday, there was such an indestructible scale armor all over his body, plus it must be unparalleled strength, what would be his opponent in this world.
Shen Shi carefully recalled in his mind the miscellaneous records of the strange beasts he had read in the past, and finally found that there didn't seem to be any known ferocious demon beasts that could be compared with the giant beasts he saw at the moment, and those who had this qualification seemed to be all those divine beasts in the primeval era in myths and legends and even the era when the Pangu giant god opened the world and the desolation.
And in those legends, the dragon is also an important branch of divine beasts.
"Is it a dragon?" Shen Shi's heart moved slightly, and he whispered to himself, at this moment, he suddenly remembered the Yin Dragon statue he had seen twice on the way here.
At this time, Xiao Hei who was not far from him suddenly snorted, Shen Shi turned his head to look at it, only to see Xiao Hei start to walk towards the back of this giant claw, Shen Shi frowned slightly, hesitated, and glanced at this terrible but silent giant claw again, and finally followed, and Xiao Hei walked into the deeper darkness one after the other.
Not long after he walked over, at the edge of the sea of bones, which was not too far away from this giant claw, a strange light suddenly shone brightly, and it looked like a ghost fire in the darkness, and then, little after another similar ghost fire suddenly lit up from nowhere, or up and down the sea of bones, or at the edge of the bone pile, and some even directly in the depths of the bone pile.
In all directions, countless ghost fires, which had not shown the slightest sign in the previous silence, suddenly appeared like this, slowly gathering and surrounding in the darkness.
It's just that at this strange time, when the countless ghost fires were silently but as if they were approaching with great ferocity, the silent giant claw suddenly seemed to move slightly.
It was only a very slight moment, and the middle toe of the three toes of the giant claw was still intact, and it was slightly raised, and the nails that had pierced the ground were exposed and lifted out of the ground.
In an instant, there was a sudden explosion in the darkness like a silent place, and countless ghost fires suddenly froze at that moment, and in a moment, all the ghost fires turned around and fled, and even a little crazy, desperately turned around and ran, and the little light was all constantly extinguished, as if they were desperately trying to hide their traces.
In just a moment, the countless ghost fires that were originally fierce and fierce disappeared in an instant like ants fleeing in a hurry, leaving only endless darkness and a dead silence that seemed to have remained unchanged for eternity.
The giant claw regained its composure, its middle toe falling silently, the ground like tofu, stuck with its fingernails, and then there was no movement.
※※※
Perhaps it was because the huge size of the giant claw blocked the glimmer of phosphorus fire, and when he walked to the place behind the giant claw, Shen Shi only felt that his eyes seemed to be even darker than just now. After walking like this for a while, he suddenly stopped Xiao Hei, hesitated for a moment, stretched out the palm of his right hand, and a stream of spiritual power slowly turned the qi veins from the sea of qi that was close to drying, and after a while, a ball of fire lit up from his palm.
When he fell from the cliff, because he kept casting fire barrier techniques to block ghosts in the passage of the Zhenlong Ancient Palace, he had almost exhausted his spiritual power, so he had to grope his way forward. But after this period of time, although there is no special meditation recovery, the spiritual power in the body has recovered a little, barely enough to release a fireball technique, and if it is only maintained in the palm of the palm alone and not cast, the duration should be a little longer.
The light of the fire lit up, and suddenly forced back the darkness around his body, and it also made him see the scene under the dark abyss for the first time, which was actually similar to the environment he had expected before, on one side of his body was the giant claw, and the hard rocky ground under his feet, and not far away, it was a skeleton composed of countless white bones, which looked terrifying.
It's just that the front has been crawling and rolling in this sea of bones for a while, and this fear is much weaker, Shen Shi glanced at the sea of bones, then withdrew his gaze and looked ahead.
The giant claw was beside him, and behind it was the limb connected to the giant claw, which looked equally huge and incomparably like a tall mountain, but under the light of the fire, Shen Shi could only see a tiny part of this "mountain", and then found that he had unknowingly walked under a cliff.
In front of his eyes, a huge hole appeared extremely tall, and Shen Shi, who was blinded by darkness at a glance, could not see where the roof of the cave was, and the giant claws and limbs were protruding from this huge hole.
The corners of Shen Shi's eyes twitched slightly, and he subconsciously took a step back, thinking to himself could this cave be the lair of this giant beast?
For a moment, he even had the heart to turn away, and it was hard to have the courage to stand in front of this terrifying creature that was almost completely beyond human resistance. It's just that Shen Shi quickly controlled himself, after all, under this dark and dead abyss, he almost had no way out.
In front of him, Xiao Hei called out in a low voice twice, and then took another step forward, but walked towards the giant hole.
Shen Shi silently stared at Xiao Hei, and then slowly followed.
The cave was so large that Shen Shi almost felt that it was not a cave at all, and there was no air flow similar to the yin wind around it, but for some reason, Shen Shi still felt a little cold feeling on his body.
The footsteps echoed quietly in the darkness, and the little firelight in the palm illuminated a little place, forming a bright but faint ball of light, slowly moving forward in this boundless darkness.
After walking a distance of about thirty or forty zhang like this, Shen Shi felt that his heartbeat seemed to start beating faster and faster, when the firelight suddenly jumped, and a strange shadow seemed to suddenly sway in front of him.
Then, he saw a mouth.
A huge, fanged, terrifying mouth.
Shen Shi was startled, took a step back, the firelight trembled, and raised a few points, although the light was a little weaker, but the illuminated place was suddenly much larger. It was also as the firelight swept by, in the darkness in front of Shen Shi, that he saw a person, to be exact, a human face.
He has all the facial features, and it seems to be the appearance of an old man, wrinkled and extremely old, but this face is so huge, it looks twice as tall as the giant claw outside the hole, the only difference is that this human face does not seem to be angry at all, the skin and flesh are dry, and there are two huge horns that resemble dragon horns on the forehead.
In the end, Shen Shi's gaze fell on the eyes on this person's face.
There, there were two black holes, empty.
