Chapter 105: The Gods

The dark path was far more difficult to follow than the bright passage before, the ground was full of gravel and dirt, and after walking for a while, Shen Shi had to light the fireball again to illuminate the road ahead.

Compared to the previous relatively flat and intensely artificially constructed lighty tunnel, this dark road is full of disorganization, and in many places there are obvious and huge scratches on the stone walls and dirt, including the ground, as if a giant beast had wreaked havoc here, or as if a giant pangolin had dug here.

Shen Shi walked silently, carefully looking at everything in this passage through the dim firelight, this underground depth is a mysterious and strange world, at least it has been closed for tens of thousands of years and no one has ever been here, but I don't know why, when Shen Shi walked here, he didn't feel too depressed.

There is no wind, no moisture to moisten, but good for survival.

The dark passage was not almost straight like the previous one with light, and here it often bent corners, and it looked like the giant beast digging the cave was constantly turning directions underground. Shen Shi didn't know the reason for this, and all he could do was walk cautiously.

Walking in the darkness like this seems to make people feel that the time is extraordinarily long, and the place beyond the light of the fireball, no matter before or behind him, always feels boundless darkness, as if he is the only one left in the depths of the earth, and there is a desperate feeling of suffocation.

But fortunately, he is never alone, there is a little black by his side, countless times of companionship have made them accustomed to relying on each other, at least when they see a partner by their side, the inexplicable sense of fear will subside a lot.

And in addition to this feeling, Xiao Hei obviously has other powers.

After walking silently for a long time, a little black who was silently following Shen Shi suddenly paused, stopped, then raised his head and sniffed the air a few times with his nose.

Shen Shi noticed Xiao Hei's movements almost immediately, and he also stopped, his eyes flashed, and he said softly: "What's wrong ahead, is there a monster?"

Xiao Hei looked ahead, and after a pause, a strange light flickered in his two eyes, and then he raised his eyes to look at Shen Shi, and hummed softly twice in his mouth.

Shen Shi nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

Xiao Hei didn't make any more moves, and it seemed to be a little quiet at the moment, but in the face of the darkness and unknown danger ahead, it still followed Shen Shi's side and continued to move forward.

This time he walked, probably less than a hundred zhang away, and Shen Shi saw that at the end of the passage in front of him, there seemed to be a faint light up.

※※※

The light was somewhat familiar, and it felt similar to the light he had seen on another path before, but it was mostly soft and colorless, without a striking golden glow.

Shen Shi gently extinguished the fireball in his hand, and suddenly the whole person, including Xiao Hei beside him, fell into a dark shadow at the same time, so that the light in front of him seemed to be a little brighter, and if he looked closely, he vaguely saw that there seemed to be a big hole in the ground, and there was a large pile of gravel and dirt on the ground, but the farther away it was much cleaner.

It looked like a wall of a very large hall that had been punched out of a hole by some powerful force.

The hall in that cave is part of the legendary demon clan's underground palace?

Shen Shi was a little nervous in his heart, because in the legend, the demon clan's underground palace was one of the most dangerous and terrifying places in the world, and it was said that there were countless ghosts and monsters in the dungeon, bloodthirsty and brutal, so that even the six saints of the human race had to seal this underground palace. Today, under 10,000 years, the three hundred and sixty-five demon pillars standing above the Qinglong Mountain Range are proof of this.

But from his point of view, it seemed that the place within the entrance of the cave, at least in this hall, seemed to be empty and there was no sign of any living thing, and when he thought of the passage with the golden fetal stone he had walked before, it was also silent, and there was no sign of any living thing. Shen Shi's brows furrowed slightly, thinking to himself, could it be that those ghosts and monsters were in other places in the underground palace, and there were not many in this direction?

But no matter what, the absence of terrifying ghosts and powerful demon beasts is naturally a good thing for Shen Shi and Xiao Hei, and even for Zhong Qinglu, who is looking for the missing, it should be good news, at least Shen Shi doesn't have to worry about seeing the scene of being surrounded by a group of ghosts and monsters if he finds her.

With a little caution, Shen Shi slowly approached the broken hole, the broken place of the hole was messy and irregular, and there were dirty mud and stones everywhere, but after walking to the side of the cave and carefully looking inside, Shen Shi found that this was actually a large hall that was more than twice as large as he had expected, but as he had seen before, there was silence in the wide hall, and there was no trace of any living beings, and a bright and gentle light was projected from the top of the hall, illuminating the place.

Shen Shi glanced at it for a moment, then stepped through the hole and walked in.

It felt a little strange to walk from a dark place into the hall of light, but Shen Shi didn't pay much attention to this, and his attention was quickly attracted by the things in this hall.

Most of the square stone bricks on the floor of this hall are paved with large areas, and the material seems to be similar to that in the previous golden stone passage, but compared to the stone bricks carved with many patterns outside, everything here is smooth and square, and there are no graphic carvings. There are six large pillars in the main hall, three in each of the left and right rows, dozens of zhang away from each other, standing in the center of the main hall, supporting the dome on the head. And with the wide passage in this large pillar, the center of the main hall looks like a statue of a god is enshrined.

Other than that, there seemed to be nothing else noteworthy in this empty hall.

Xiao Hei seemed to be a little vigilant before entering this hall, but after seeing the empty scene in this hall, it obviously relaxed a little, and after looking left and right, it began to sniff everywhere. Shen Shi didn't care about it, and after looking around for a while, he was sure that there was indeed no hidden danger in this hall, and those legendary ghosts and monsters were really strangely not here, so he walked forward towards the idol.

Since this huge hall seems to be dedicated to the idol, perhaps some clues are on the idol.

The original subtle footsteps walked in this hall, because it was too quiet, but became unusually clear and loud, Shen Shi walked, and suddenly a sense of insignificance was born in his heart, as he gradually approached the statue, he gradually became smaller, and this hall looked taller and taller, including the statue in front of him, as if it was also invisibly majestic.

This is really a very strange feeling, Shen Shi looked up at the top of his head, and found that the building of the main hall is a structure with a high middle and low sides, and the highest dome is on top of the head of the statue, so when you look at it from below, you will feel that this statue really has a feeling of standing up to the sky.

I don't know if this hall, or this demon clan's underground palace, was built by the ancients, not anywhere else, but in this seemingly ordinary hall, it seems that there is a level that is not weaker than today's. It's just that if you think about it carefully, Shen Shi suddenly thought that this demon clan's underground palace was built in the era of the Heavenly Demon King's Court, and most of the workers who built the palace at that time seemed to be the lowest slaves, that is, the human race......

He shook his head slightly, walked under the idol, and looked up. I saw that the statue in front of me was extremely tall, different from any statue of a god in the world who sat down peacefully and gently, it stood impressively, with both feet on the ground, staring, with only a pair of animal skins around its waist all over its body, and its muscles were like dragons, full of a strong sense of strength. And on its face, there was a color of rage, and it seemed to have an innate unruliness, glaring at the sky.

It held a sword in its left hand and an axe in its right, the tip of the sword drooping, and the giant axe soared into the sky, and it seemed to be in a posture of roaring and roaring with all its might, and the next moment, it was about to split everything in front of it.

That momentum, even though it was a god statue, still had an overwhelming surging meaning, which made Shen Shi instantly hold his breath and subconsciously take a step back. At the same time, he recognized the origin of the idol.

The Pangu giant god who opened the world and is known as the ancestor of all things!
