Chapter 193: Endless Stone Stairs
The wind ahead was strong, and it was stronger than ever, making every step of the way feel extremely difficult. However, it is absolutely impossible to go backwards, and there is only one way in front of you, even if it is in crisis, it is much better than becoming the belly of the fire qilin. Suo Fortunately, he has pure Yang Gang Qi to protect his body, although Lu Chengfeng is injured, he will not be injured by it in the face of the oncoming rocks. Lu Chengfeng only felt anxious in the face of this desperate situation, and he couldn't help but speed up the speed of the imperial sword at the moment.
Because the wind in front was more fierce, Lu Chengfeng quickly caught up with Jiang Wuhan in front. I don't know how long it took, but the three of them finally stopped at the end of the stone path with mutual support. At this time, the previous strong wind disappeared inexplicably, and what appeared in front of me was a stone staircase, which was almost vertically downward, extremely steep. This stone staircase is paved with a large piece of natural white jade, which contrasts sharply with the surrounding rocks, and looks majestic, but it is deliberately made by someone.
The two looked at each other, could it be that there was still some master living in this leyline?
But the current situation really doesn't allow them to think too much. Soon, at Lu Chengfeng's signal, Jiang Wuhan first walked down the stone steps with Di Qianjun. Lu Chengfeng glanced behind him, but saw that the fire qilin was rushing towards this place violently, so he hurriedly followed him.
After stepping into the stone steps, several people suddenly felt extremely cold, which made people shudder, and every time they took the next step, they only felt that the cold was even worse. However, this cold air is not just cold, but eerie and terrifying, as if it has come to a netherworld, and it looks ghostly. The stone steps were very long, about hundreds of steps, and the three of them walked carefully for nearly half an hour before reaching the end.
At the end of the staircase is a wide and huge stone.
Not far ahead, a huge stone sculpture stands proudly. The stone carving is simply a monster, with a cow's head and a human body, and two wings on its back. Although it is carved in stone, it is holding a treasure sword, and the appearance of horizontal eyebrows is full of heroic spirit. This stone carving is about a few feet high, looks majestic, and gives people a sense of not being angry and self-imposing. The whole carving of the stone carving is exquisite, and each knife is ingenious and lifelike.
At the moment when Lu Chengfeng looked at the stone carving eyes, his whole person suddenly felt an inexplicable frenzy in his heart, and in a trance, he felt that he was only in the field, thousands of troops and horses rushed in front of him, and the war drums and thunder in his ears were deafening. Jiang Wuhan, who was standing beside him, felt an extremely strong murderous aura in his eyes, so he gently patted him on the shoulder. After Lu Chengfeng was patted, he came back to his senses.
And the moment he looked at the stone sculpture again, a surprising scene occurred.
The stone sculpture shook and then let out a chilling laugh, which echoed through the empty cavern.
For some reason, when Lu Chengfeng heard this laughter, he only felt his blood boiling, and he couldn't wait to lift his sword to kill. Fortunately, his consciousness was still quite clear, and after Lu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, he immediately asked, "Do you know the person carved by this statue?"
"This person is the head of the Jiuli tribe in ancient times, known as the Chiyou of the Jiuli Demon King!"
"Chiyou?" Lu Chengfeng muttered the name of this thunderous sun, and then looked at the stone sculpture but felt familiar. But at this time, even he couldn't figure out why he had an inexplicable hatred for this man of the ages in ancient times, and when he saw this person's face, he inexplicably moved to kill, which was indeed too unbelievable.
Just as he was thinking about it, a roar suddenly came from behind him.
Surprised by the arrival of the fire qilin, Lu Chengfeng thought of leaving this place quickly. Looking up, the huge stone sculpture shook and then quickly moved forward. Ahead was a wide, straight stone path, and the two of them hurried forward without hesitation. On both sides of the stone path, they saw a very terrifying scene. On both sides of it are bottomless ravines, but a few ever-bright lights on the cliff still allow people to see the scene under the ravines in a timely manner. Under the ravine, the white bones are forested, piled up like a mountain, stretching for dozens of miles. Moreover, many of the bones have apparently been deposited for many years, and some have even been embedded in the stone walls and merged with the stone. Above the white bone, a thin black gas was rising.
There are also a number of murals carved on the stone walls along the road, although they are old, but it is not difficult to see that the paintings painted are the scenes of thousands of troops and horses in the great battle. Due to the rush of running, the rest of the painted objects were not clearly visible.
Soon, the fire unicorn was here. Seeing that Lu Chengfeng and his party were close at hand, the fire qilin chased even tighter, and when it was halfway there, it suddenly left the ground with four hooves and galloped up.
Passing through the stone road, there is also an upward white jade stone staircase in front of you. The stone stairs stretch upwards as far as the eye can see. Unlike before, this stone staircase seems to be suspended in the void, not attached to anything, giving people a sense of etherealism.
But seeing that the fire unicorn was close at hand, Lu Chengfeng couldn't care so much, so he immediately prepared to go up with the sword. But at this moment, she suddenly found that she couldn't condense her true qi, and every time she pinched the trick, she couldn't feel that there was true qi in her body, and Jiang Wuhan was the same as him at this time.
Just when the two of them didn't know why, Jiang Wuhan suddenly thought of something, "The yin and evil qi in the leylines are gathered here, and we can't cast spells!"
The inability to use spells means that at this time, like ordinary people, they can only respond to the immediate crisis with mortal bodies. It was impossible to retreat, and the two of them looked at the Chiyou stone sculpture that was constantly floating in the sky at the same time, and they understood it for a while.
Since there is only one way left, it is death and can only try.
As soon as they thought of this, the two of them walked up the stone stairs in unison.
However, the moment they stepped on the stone steps, the fire unicorn behind them stopped chasing, and then sat on the ground very reverently, looking straight at the Chiyou stone sculpture in the sky with red eyes.
This fire unicorn is really strange, it has worked hard to chase them here, and now that its prey is about to arrive, it has chosen to give up. For such an unbelievable move by the fire qilin, the two of them suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, and a sense of foreboding suddenly arose.
This ancient beast has always been unruly, and now it is as quiet as a virgin, and it seems that there must be something it fears on it. As Chiyou's divine beast mount, I'm afraid that the things it fears will never be good. The worst thing is that neither of them can cast spells here, and if they encounter any crisis at that time, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable.
Halfway through the journey, their fears were finally fulfilled. With each step they took up, the stone steps beneath their feet disappeared. Seeing that the body of the fire qilin was gradually shrinking, both of them realized at the same time that they had embarked on a path of no return, and if they accidentally fell, they would be doomed, but at this time they had no choice.
Until the body of the fire qilin gradually shrank into a black dot, the upward stone steps still had no end in sight, and it seemed that they would never be finished.
Lu Chengfeng sensed the abnormality, so he took out his sword and carved a mark on the stone steps, and then continued to walk up.
