Chapter Seventy-Six: Succession

What is it like to be swarmed by countless ghosts and instantly drowned?

There are hideous faces all around, blood basins, big mouths, ghost fires, secluded forests, and white bones, what does it feel like?

It was as if he had seen the ghost gate, as if he was about to turn into a white bone and turn into one of the ghosts in the next moment, Shen Shi was left with a blank in his mind at that moment, he couldn't think of anything, everything was at a loss, but his whole body was cold in despair.

Until, the miserable green light in the sky suddenly shone, and the surrounding ghosts suddenly stiffened, and then the ghost cry suddenly died down, and all the fierce ghosts receded like a tide, leaving a large open space in place, leaving only Shen Shi alone, still holding the viscous drop of dragon true blood in his arms.

The clothes on his body were torn in many places, and obvious blood marks could be seen on his limbs, chest and back, which were obviously injured by those ghosts just now who didn't have time to put their hands away, but Shen Shi quietly looked at himself after a while, fortunately, most of them were skin and flesh injuries, and there were no injuries to the muscles and bones. At the same time, he also found that under the soul abyss, in the sea of bones, there were countless ghosts, which were very different from when he first arrived here before, and it seemed that with the recovery of the power of the mysterious witch ghost, these ghosts also began to rage.

It's just that although the ghosts are rampant, until now, no ghost has dared to step into that cave, and even the Yin Dragon giant claw stretched out outside the cave is almost impossible for the ghosts to come close.

Shen Shi raised his head and looked towards the height, only to see that on the tall and steep lonely peak, the skeleton had already stepped on the top of the lonely peak, looking from the bottom of the mountain, its figure was almost small and difficult to see, but after a while, its voice came from the sky, it was still as gentle and pleasant as that woman, but at this moment it was already a little more indifferent:

"Pick it up. ”

With this voice descending from the sky, the surrounding ghosts that still surrounded Shen Shi in the middle slowly gave way to a path, which was the remnant green light ladder that led to the sky. Shen Shi took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, hugged the dragon's blood, and walked forward with his feet raised.

When Shen Shi walked towards the green ladder, both sides of this path, which was only more than three feet wide, were still crowded with countless ghosts, yin spirit zombies, skeleton demons, all kinds of fierce ghosts that seemed to exist only in ghost legends, and at this moment they all gathered around him and yelled at him, grinning his teeth, as if he would pounce on him again in the next moment, and there was no flesh left for him to eat.

Shen Shi never thought that one day he would take such a terrifying path, he only felt cold all over, he thought he would be timid and afraid, in fact, he did feel like this, even his body was trembling slightly, as if the next moment, he would lose his courage and collapse to the ground.

But he didn't.

His body shook slightly, his face was pale, but he kept walking forward slowly, gritting his teeth, his eyes wide, step by step, slowly moving forward.

The roar and roar roared in his ears, sharp teeth and claws and white bones, shaking endlessly in front of his eyes, like in the netherworld, in the sea of ghosts, every sound and every moment, as if trying to destroy his sanity.

Step by step, his face became paler and paler, but his pace never stopped.

In the sea of thousands of ghosts, on the way of death where ghosts cry wolves, they came over so slowly.

Life and death seemed to be so clearly but terrifyingly entangled, until he raised his head and saw that green light, the ladder to the lonely peak, was already in front of his eyes.

This road, he finally walked hard.

Behind him, the roar of the ghosts gradually became weaker, and although a few of them roared in annoyance, most of them seemed to be a little distracted, and slowly turned away.

Shen Shi let out a sigh, and suddenly felt a chill on his body, only to find that at some point, there was cold sweat on the forehead, back and even the palm of his hand, except for his chest, it was still warm, because the sticky dragon blood was held in his arms, and there was a faint warmth transmitted from the dragon blood.

Shen Shi raised his head again and looked at the top of the lonely peak, but found that the skeleton's figure had disappeared from the peak, and he didn't know where he had gone at this moment. He was silent for a moment, then looked back at the dark cave again, and at this moment, it seemed that only there was not yet shrouded in a miserable green light, and the last remaining darkness was stuck in that cave.

He stared deeply, a hint of complexity in his eyes, but then he turned his head again, and without hesitation, stepped on this ladder of light, towards the top of the lone peak, towards the depths of the green light, towards the high skeleton, step by step.

"Roar!"

In the depths of the ghost sea, I don't know where a ghost creature roared into the sky, which immediately caused a low roar around it, like rippling waves, agitating layer by layer, and instantly turned into a sharp howl, rising into the sky.

Under the soul abyss, ten thousand ghosts roared.

※※※

Shen Shi glanced back for the last time before stepping on the green ladder, and he couldn't see through the darkness of the cave, but in the dragon cave, the old man and Xiao Hei lying on the ground saw his actions very clearly, including Shen Shi's difficult passage through the terrifying ghost sea path before, they could see it clearly.

Xiao Hei was obviously a little restless, his body moved around, his eyes kept looking out of the cave, although there were thousands of ghosts there were extremely fierce, it was also very afraid, but among the thousands of ghosts, that familiar back walked resolutely and hard, but it made this little black pig seem to have a desperate mood to rush to his side.

It twisted its body several times, and finally seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and when it jumped up and was about to rush away, it heard the old man next to it whisper: "Don't go over." ”

Xiao Hei's body paused, slowly turned his head, and suddenly roared in a low voice.

This is the first time that it has expressed an unrespectful gesture towards this old man, who has always been in awe.

The old man seemed to be a little surprised, took a look at it more, then smiled, and said: "It's actually a little tempered, I can't see that you have such a good relationship with him, hmm......" The old man raised his eyes and glanced out of the cave, just in time to see Shen Shi stepping on the ladder, and then recalled the way Shen Shi struggled to pass through the ghost sea just now, but nodded rarely, and said, "You, the master, look okay, a little bit of the look." ”

Xiao Hei's temper that had just been puffed up suddenly disappeared, and he slowly walked to the old man's side and lay down, as if he knew that even if he followed Shen Shi in the past, it would be useless, and he could only wait here for the almost hopeless future.

Its head hung down slightly, and it fell to the ground, and gradually a trace of sadness seemed to emanate from its body.

The old man stared at Xiao Hei quietly, and after a moment, he said lightly: "Life and death are fate, he chose this path by himself, and there is nothing to regret." It's you," he raised his right hand with some difficulty, and his tone seemed to be a little softer, "Are you called Xiao Hei, well, that doesn't sound very good, I don't say it's like a stupid dragon called Black Dragon...... Forget it, no matter how much it is, you come here. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei glanced at him, slowly stood up, and walked in front of him.

The old man stared at Xiao Hei for a moment, his right hand moved horizontally, but it was stretched out to the wound on the dragon body that had just been taken away by Shen Shi, the piece of flesh and blood that was originally different from the dry skin and flesh around it, and the luster was as new as new, after the dragon's true blood was separated from the body, the luster had dimmed a lot at this moment, and even the only dragon scales seemed to have lost most of their brilliance, and it seemed that it would not be long before this piece of Yin Dragon flesh and blood, which was still intact at the end, was about to lose all its vitality like the withered dragon bodies around it.

The old man's hand reached out to the scar, but his gaze was always looking at Xiao Hei, although his eyes were cloudy, but the gaze revealed was very gentle, and even faintly there was a little bit of love that had never appeared on him.

"Little Black, I'm dying too. He smiled and said to Xiao Hei.

※※※

"The primeval three dragons, I am the second, and I inherited the divine decree in the past, and I want to ...... Uh, you don't like to hear it, do you?"

Xiao Hei snorted and let out a low scream, rubbing his head against the old man's body.

A wry smile appeared on the old dragon's withered face, and he shook his head slightly, but his expression seemed to be more gentle, at this moment his right hand had already touched the scar, and he didn't see how he moved, suddenly, the scar twitched violently, and then, a blood ball only the size of an egg, except that it was dozens of times smaller, was almost exactly the same as the drop of dragon true blood that Shen Shi took before, and in the blood glow, there seemed to be a phantom of a complete Yin Dragon swimming slowly, so it slowly rolled out and dripped onto the palm of the old dragon.

"Smack!"

There was a muffled sound, and almost at the same time as this drop of dragon blood left the body, the scale armor instantly lost all its luster and fell directly from the flesh and blood, and the dragon body around the scar also withered at a speed visible to the naked eye in an instant.

The old dragon turned a blind eye to the withering of the dragon's body, his eyes were just staring at this small drop of dragon blood in his palm, and after a long time, he said softly: "I have no children and grandchildren in my life, but I saw you before I died, although it is not my intention, but it is the cause and effect of reincarnation, so you will inherit my Yin Dragon bloodline." ”

Xiao Hei looked a little dazed, took a step back, suddenly looked outside the cave again, and then called at the old man, the old dragon shook his head, and said, "No, he is just an ordinary human race, where can he bear this true dragon bloodline?"

After that, his palm suddenly flipped over, but it suddenly covered Xiao Hei's forehead, and a red light suddenly lit up, instantly enveloping Xiao Hei's whole body.

In the red light, Xiao Hei's body trembled violently, his hands and feet straightened instantly, and then his body began to struggle and shake non-stop, as if it was suffering from an unbearable pain, but no matter how it struggled, it seemed that it could not get out of the old dragon's dry hand at all.

This scene didn't last long, when the red light shrouded Xiao Hei's body for a while, the light began to fade, and then the old dragon's hand loosened, Xiao Hei's body suddenly weakened, collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, but seeing that its rough body seemed to be no different from usual, only the middle of the forehead above the eyes was an extra piece of red crystal the size of a thumb, embedded in the flesh, and occasionally the light flowed, and a faint trace of dragon shadow could be seen swaying.

After doing all this, the old dragon seemed to be a little more tired than before, but he kept looking like he was about to die of old age, so it was really not too easy to distinguish for a while. It's just that at this time, the surrounding light suddenly began to slowly go out, including the light cluster on the stone wall, and the darkness re-descended into this huge cave like a tide, in the secluded and silent cave, except for Xiao Hei's occasional slightly painful **, there was only the tired voice of the old dragon occasionally:

"Xiao Hei, I gave you the true dragon blood, and you will become a little stronger in the future. ”

"Your body is too weak now, and most of the dragon power is hidden in the dragon blood crystal on your head, which will be slowly absorbed in the future. ”

"In the dragon blood crystal, there is also a wisp of my dragon soul remnant, our dragon clan values the soul to return to the ancestor, one day you will go to find the dragon realm, put my remnant soul on the ancestral dragon altar. ”

"Hmm...... After all, you are not born with the blood of the dragon clan, and our dragon clan is all arrogant, so if you go to the dragon realm, it will be ugly for you. What should I do, or will you bear with it?"

"Alas......"

"I don't know, after so many years, what will be like in the Dragon Realm......"

In the darkness, the voice gradually fell low and low, and finally fell silent.
