Chapter 54: The Tribulation Begins
A day later, the people, led by Li De and the Rakshasas, came to a deep valley.
At the entrance to this valley, there is a black sandy area that stretches towards the inner valley, and on either side are two straight peaks, like two giant pillars of optimus inserting into the sky, blocking the wind and clouds.
The ground at the entrance of the valley is extremely weird, and wisps of black gas continue to emerge outward, rising towards the sky, and when it reaches a certain height, the black gas dissipates and merges into the air.
Li De glanced towards the valley, his pupils contracted slightly, and said: "Everyone be careful, there are a large number of black pythons living in this valley, and there is a heavenly realm among them, if you are bitten by them, you need a special antidote to detoxify, which is very troublesome." ”
"There are some special sachets here, which are specially configured, please wear them on your body, if you encounter a black snake, they will not attack. ”
As he spoke, Li De took out a small pile of pink sachets the size of eggs from the storage ring, handed one to each person, and said, "Now, we can go in." ”
Li Yan took the sachet, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, smelling a unique medicinal fragrance in it, so he tied the sachet around his waist and walked along the sand.
After taking four or five steps, they heard the rapid sound of "hiss, hiss, hiss!" from the peaks on both sides.
I saw that the mountain wall was densely packed, with countless holes like beehives.
A black snake python with a thick or thin head, sticking out its head and spitting snake letters in its mouth, came in their direction, and the scene was terrifying.
Li Yan's pupils dilated instantly, and after a rough calculation, he found that there were tens of thousands of black snakes in his sight alone, and more pythons were still in the hole.
What's more, with the breadth of this mountain, the black pythons that live in it are probably innumerable and endless.
Thinking of so many python demon beasts inside the mountain peak, Li Yan's entire body tensed, and his mental state suddenly became much more sober.
It was seen that in the holes as thick as a few water tanks, more than a dozen black pythons snaking out, pressing out heavy marks on the black sand, came to them.
The tip of Li De's nose was also oozing beads of sweat, his eyes were quite calm, and he said loudly: "Don't be afraid, we have sachets on our bodies, and these snake demons will not attack us." ”
Seeing these giant snakes approaching, Li Yan's heart beat faster, his eyes throbbed, and he silently activated his true qi to prevent these giant snakes from suddenly erupting.
The others were also cautious, secretly preparing.
Fortunately, these giant snakes only stayed in front of Li De, as well as Rakshasa and others for a moment, stretched out their letters and licked them in the air a few times, and then turned around and crawled into the cave.
Seeing this, Li De secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, let's continue to walk inside." ”
Seeing the giant snake returning to its lair, Li Yan's secret condensed true qi also fell silent, and said in his heart: "These giant pythons are really scary, looking at their breath, they are all in the heavenly realm." This valley is so huge, and there are so many black pythons living in it. ”
Thinking of this, he felt that it was extremely wise for the family to use this place as a place to cross the catastrophe, and just the black python group in the valley mouth was not something that ordinary people could break through.
Entering the valley, the black sand gradually disappeared, the ground was replaced by black rocks, and in front of them, an ancient stone forest appeared.
The stone pillars that make up the stone forest are each three or four zhang high, and their waists and legs are as thick.
The stone pillars are not naturally formed, but each one is carved into the shape of a python, which is very similar to the python encountered in Taniguchi.
These pythons carved from black stone are almost similar to the pythons encountered outside, and even the cold light radiating from their eyes seems to be carved out of a Mozi.
For some reason, when Li Yan saw those statues, he felt that his scalp was numb, as if he felt that in the next moment, they would come to life.
Li De walked in the front and reminded loudly: "These stone pillars are the totem poles made by my Li family for the dead black python for hundreds of years. Everyone must be careful not to wake up the souls of the dead who live in the stone pillars, because after waking them up, they will need a lot of blood food to put them to sleep. ”
There were more than 300 black stone pillars, which were closely distributed, and Li Yan and the others walked slowly and nervously through the stone forest before they dared to take a big breath.
Even Li De, who had been here a few times, looked soothing, and said: "Walking here, even if it is safe, the front is my father's place of tribulation, Rakshasa senior, please arrange the Dark Star's manpower here, and let the four four-star killers of the late Heavenly Realm come over." ”
Immediately afterwards, Li De also called Li Xiong, arranged most of the Li family's offerings and clansmen here, and asked Li Xiong to stay and command these people.
Then, he took the strongest group of people and continued to rush inside.
However, behind this stone forest, there were originally more than ten core members of the Li family, guarding here, and when they saw Li Yan and their group appear, they did not move, but watched silently.
Li De took a few dozen people, walked half a mile further, and they came to the center of the valley.
They saw a huge skeleton like a hill, separated in front of them, blocking the way.
This skeleton is sixty or seventy zhang long, and the surface of the black bone is filled with wisps of evil qi, even if it is dead, there is a strong and mighty coercion, radiating out.
The appearance of the skeleton, not surprisingly, was exactly the same as the black python seen outside the valley, but that aura was a hundred times stronger.
"Could this be the bones of the snake demon in the foundation building realm? Moreover, looking at this coercion, I am afraid that in the foundation building realm, it is also a strong existence. ”
Li Yan looked at the snake bone and was speechless.
This huge giant snake skeleton gives him a sense of oppression that is even more dangerous than that of Rakshasas, and it is obvious that his strength before his death must be much stronger than that of Rakshasas.
The others saw the bones of the giant snake, and their expressions were not much different from his, and their expressions were shocked and inexplicable.
Among all of them, only Li De, who has seen the bones of the giant snake many times, and Rakshasa who is himself in the foundation building realm, is quite calm and has a peaceful posture.
The others' eyes flickered, and they seemed uneasy and touched.
Behind the serpent's skeleton is the center of the valley.
It can be seen that on the black rock ground, there is a black stone altar ten zhang high, and around the altar, more than ten meters away, there are four black stone pillars that are also tall.
At the top of each stone pillar, a strange beast is carved out of some kind of peculiar stone.
They are the firebird entwined in flames, the turtle stepping on the waves, the dragon stepping on the clouds, and the tiger about to pounce.
On top of the altar, there was a white figure with closed eyes and motionless, it was Li Xinren.
At this moment, Li Xinren, the whole person was shrouded in some kind of peculiar understanding, with a faint white light on his face, as if he was integrated with heaven and earth, even Li Yan and the others arrived, they didn't raise their eyelids, and continued to understand.
When Li Yan saw his grandfather, his eyes moved, and he was about to step forward, but he immediately remembered his identity at the moment, gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but not move forward.
"When you get here, it's the last layer of protection, Lao Liang, you and everyone stay here, and you will be in command, Rakshasa senior, you come with me." ”
Li De left Li Yan, the powerhouses of the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, all in front of the bones of the giant snake, and walked towards the high platform with the rakshasa with him.
The two of them stood on the altar and waited for half an hour before Li Xin opened his eyes, glanced at Rakshasa, and said meaningfully, "You're here?"
"If you want to cross the catastrophe, of course I have to be there to shelter, you are the head of my Li family, if you die, it will not be good news for the Li family. ”
Rakshasa opened his mouth lightly, and he seemed to be quite familiar with Li Xinren, and the language of the two also revealed a lot of news.
After Li De heard what they said, his face was surprised, and he said, "Father, do you know the Rakshasa seniors?"
"What a senior, he was originally a member of the Li family. ”
Li Xinren stood up, put his hands in his sleeves, raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and said: "Rakshasa's real name is not called Rakshasa, but Li Hongye, according to his seniority, you should call him uncle, he joined the Dark Star Organization thirty years ago, according to the order of the previous generation of the Li family's family head." In this flash, thirty years have passed, and he has become the boss of Dark Star. Otherwise, do you think I, the patriarch, are really so stupid to provide Dark Star with a huge amount of resources, just to let its killer organization grow and grow?"
Li De lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and said: "I see, I'll just say, the relationship between my Li family and the Dark Star Organization is too close, and even they have to provide you with protection, I think this is the relationship between uncles." In this way, I get it all. Li De has seen his uncle. ”
"You're welcome, I'm not exactly a member of the Li family now, I still have half an identity, and I'm the leader of the Dark Star. ”
After listening to Li De's father and son's chatter, Rakshasa waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't talk nonsense, patriarch, how do you feel now, can you start the tribulation?"
"I'm in better shape than ever, I can start the tribulation at any time, as long as I release my breath, the thunder tribulation will come soon. ”
Li Xinren's eyes flashed, and his voice was vaguely excited.
His body, at this moment, became extremely tall, as if it had become the center of this world, and no one could ignore it.
