Volume 2 Ancient Sword Chapter 39 Ancient Mantra
The mountains are stacked on top of each other, and the emerald green is vast. The rich natural atmosphere reoccupied this mountain forest, and gradually faded the bloody atmosphere. Hundreds of people stayed at the foot of the lonely mountain, like a handful of fine sand scattered in the realm of the Middle Palace, which would be blown away by the wind at any time.
After a short time, one person walked to the top of the mountain, while the rest of the people divided into eight teams and walked in eight different directions. About two hours later, the eight detachments met again at the foot of the same mountain for no apparent reason.
At this moment, everyone's face is full of gloom. After a while, they also walked towards the top of the mountain.
When Ban Meng and the others came to the top of the mountain, they saw Yue Chen meditating and recuperating, so they didn't bother, but dispersed. Some were alone, gazing at the sky, while others were sitting together and talking in low voices. Nowadays, no one has a good idea to speak of, and the argument of resignation to fate has become the mainstream again.
Time faded little by little in the helpless and anxious waiting, and the evening glow was like a flash in the pan, and the fourth night was about to fall. Things also tend to happen inadvertently.
At the end of the unitary hour, a ghost-like howl sounded, and one person from the Heavenly Wolf Valley was speechless in a hurry, just roaring and pointing nonsense. Everyone followed his point, and saw that another person was growing infinitely, with sharp claws on his hands and feet. The body of a normal person also began to twist sharply, turning into a broad and powerful wolf back. The body is covered with thick, shiny wolf hair. A pair of pupils are also changing strangely, but they are slightly different from wolf eyes.
Yue Chen clenched the Qinglong Sword in his hand, and after scanning the crowd, he found that Ban Meng was gone, and the hairs on his body stood up. After calming down a little, he asked in a deep voice, "Did anyone see what Senior Brother Ban had picked up?"
One person stepped forward quickly and said, "Hall Master, I saw Senior Brother Ban picking up a wolf tooth at a mountain pass. At that time, I also wanted to find out if it would be a kind of chance, but in the direction we were walking, there was only that one. ”
"Other senior brothers, has anyone picked it up too?"
Everyone did not answer Yue Chen's question, but suddenly shouted in unison: "Greedy wolf blood curse!" The more than 800 people shouted so neatly that Yue Chen, who was on the side, was shocked in his heart, and looked at everyone with some uneasiness.
Sima Liang said: "Hall Master, all the squeaky children in Qingqiu Continent know that there is a legend in the Middle Palace Realm, that is, the 'Greedy Wolf Blood Curse'. Although no one knows what the specific situation of this ancient curse has been passed down to this day, and even the accounts of each family are different, one thing is certain, once any creature who falls under this blood curse will become a fierce necromantic wolf. ”
"How do you break it?"
Sima Liang replied: "Dog blood!"
Zhuge Yi also said: "From generation to generation, the creatures who have been hit by this blood curse can retain the remaining spiritual wisdom as long as they can feed them and drink dog blood before they completely lose their spiritual wisdom. It will never be able to leave the region where the Blood Curse appears. Because it will be the patron saint of the place. Anyone who trespasses into its forbidden place will be its supper for it. ”
"I'm sure everyone should know how to do it,......"
"Can you go there and look for dog blood? in a day or two, Senior Brother Ban will completely lose his mind!"
Everyone started talking, but Yue Chen hurriedly stopped him and said, "Everyone be quiet, I'll go over and take a look! If Senior Brother Ban has lost his mind, I will do my best to kill it." If they can't be killed, everyone will run for their lives. ”
Sima Liang grabbed Yue Chen and said, "Where are you going to let us run? If we are not sure, forget it, don't do useless struggles!"
Yue Chen didn't speak, patted Sima Liang's shoulder heavily, and walked quickly to Ban Meng's eyes. The strange changes in Ban Meng's body were still continuing, and when he saw Yue Chen coming, he suddenly turned around and ran. Its line is like a gale, and its phantom is like the shadow of a mountain, running in one direction. After Yue Chen distinguished, he found that the place where he went was the same place where he found the wolf cub. I didn't have time to think about it for a while, so I chased after Edgeworth.
It was an extremely hidden cone-shaped col, more than ten zhang in size. When the mutated Ban Meng came here, he suddenly stopped, and slowly turned his head thoughtfully to look at Yue Chen.
"Senior Brother Ban?" Yue Chen asked, Ban Meng's pupils shrank, staring at the weak human in front of him, a little blank. Yue Chen noticed that his spiritual intelligence had indeed not completely disappeared, but his normal memory no longer existed.
After a moment, Ban Meng nodded slowly.
"Senior Brother Ban, do you remember this?" Yue Chen shook a gourd in his hand and looked at Ban Meng. After a moment's hesitation, he stepped forward and handed the gourd to the giant wolf's claws.
"Senior brother, this was originally given to me by you. At this moment, I will give it back to you. If you believe me, drink it. Trust me, I'll find a way to take you away. ”
Ban Meng looked at the gourd in his hand, and suddenly let out a wolf howl, which shocked Yue Chen's ears. After a while, Ban Meng directly put the whole gourd in his mouth and chewed it. Fresh dog blood oozed down his fangs. As soon as the dog's blood was down, Ban suddenly fell to the ground, and after curling up for a while, he didn't know where he felt a wolf tooth about nine inches long, and stuck it into his heart.
Yue Chen couldn't do anything, and the others who came from behind could only do it in a hurry. Under the stupid gaze of everyone, after the wolf tooth completely submerged into Ban Meng's body, Ban Meng suddenly stood up again and let out a mournful wail. He swung his fist and smashed it into the mountain, and suddenly, the earth trembled and the mountain peaks shook.
After Ban Meng vented like a normal person, his eyes looked at Yue Chen again, as if he was trying to remember something. After a while, he turned around again and ran towards a hill. And that hill is the hill where the leader of the Flame Leopard has been standing.
After seeing Ban Meng leaving, Sima Liang and the others stepped forward quickly. Sima Liang said: "Hall Master, in my observation, Senior Brother Ban still has one percent of his spiritual wisdom left. Therefore, it still remembers you, the master of the hall. I think it's up to us to get out of here. ”
"What about Senior Brother Ban?"
Zhuge Yi said: "Hall Master, even if you can take it out, can you protect it? The sect will definitely not let it go in and out. Therefore, at present, this is the safest place for it. ”
Yue Chen sighed, thinking of the words of the Snake Ancestor and Guiguzi, he also gave up some of his childish ideas. At this moment, Yue Chen finally understood that in this kind of survival, the words of the Snake Ancestor and Guiguzi were the real golden and jade words.
"Okay, let's go over together and see what Senior Brother Ban has to say!"
One said: "Hall Master, Senior Brother Ban is no longer Senior Brother Ban, it can no longer speak like a human." It is now a true necromantic wolf with memories of a past life. ”
Yue Chen nodded and said, "I understand what the senior brothers mean!" With that, he walked towards the mountain first.
Everyone saw that on the top of the mountain, the dust was rising, and a pair of sharp claws of Ban Meng were constantly digging there. When everyone approached, Ban Meng also stopped and looked at Yue Chen and the others. For a long time, he pointed with his claws and let out a howl. When Yue Chen looked closer, he found that the pit dug by Ban Meng was unfathomable, and the bottom of the pit seemed to lead to endless darkness.
After pondering for a while, Yue Chen had already figured out some things, and said to everyone: "Do you dare to jump?"
Sima Liang laughed a few times and said, "If it's all dead, what's there to be afraid of, I'll be the first to jump down." Before jumping, he touched Yue Chen lightly and said, "Hall Master, praise me twice!"
"Hmm, what's that?"
"Am I brave?"
"Very brave!"
"Roar ......!" Sima Liang said with a smile, "You all listen well, the hall master praises me for being brave." I'll go down first, we'll see you over there!" Immediately after, Zhuge Yi and the others also jumped down one after another.
Yue Chen sighed in his heart: "In this situation, any hesitation is self-defeating. These outer disciples of the Divine Fox Sect who have been tempered obviously understand the truth better than themselves. He looked back at Ban Meng, who was looking at him.
At this moment, maybe it really shouldn't be called Ban Meng or Senior Brother Ban anymore. But when I thought of the more than 300 people, there was only one person who followed him in the most dangerous experience. Yue Chen really felt very lucky, seeing his current situation, sadness rose in his heart, and anger grew. He blamed himself: "If I hadn't been ignorant and didn't pay close attention to the progress of the situation, how could I have lost such a good friend!
"Senior Brother Ban, I'm leaving! you have to take care!" As he spoke, Yue Chen walked up to Ban Meng and hugged his bright and majestic wolf waist tightly. Ban Meng suddenly howled again, as if urging Yue Chen to leave quickly. Yue Chen slowly let go of this mutated senior brother, took out the fifth-order demon pill of lapis lazuli, Shenluo bead, and flame leopard from the Ruyi bag, and even the bottle of extremely precious Zhu Liu, and put it on Ban Meng's giant claw.
Any of these curiosities were enough to make the Terran cultivators of the Jindan Realm go crazy. If Ban Meng was still a normal person with spiritual intelligence, and he knew what kind of spiritual materials these were, maybe it would really make him crazy. And when Yue Chen gave all these things to Ban Meng, it also meant that the treasures that Yue Chen carried with him had bottomed out. At this time, Yue Chen would no longer think about his future cultivation path, after all, he still had a chance to get out alive, but what about Ban Meng?
Yue Chen looked at the spiritual material in Ban Meng's claw, and after thinking for a while, he took out a strange stone from the Sumeru sac and put it into Ban Meng's giant claw. Ban Meng stared at the things in his claws, sometimes looking at Yue Chen. Yue Chen smiled slightly, pointed to the thing in its claws, and after gesturing for a while, he stepped back.
At the moment when he jumped down, Yue Chen saw Ban Meng feed the things in his claws directly to his mouth. Suddenly, he shouted with a solid heart: "Senior brother, take care! I will come back again and take you out of here!"
Looking at the deep tunnel that went straight down, Yue Chen didn't know how Ban Meng dug it, but he obviously saw that Ban Meng was just digging with his claws, and his whole body was still exposed. Just as Yue Chen was thinking wildly, several black shadows burst out of the tunnel and quickly floated towards it.
Yue Chen was shocked in his heart, and he was busy chasing after him. Who knows, at this moment, a resounding wolf howl came from the sky, followed by a loud sound of shattering mountains and rivers. Yue Chen was also hit by a wave of air that came down from above, and fell directly into the deep tunnel. In the darkest moments, everything suddenly became quiet. Yue Chen found that it was the same whether he was a sword or not. In this place, people are like a fallen leaf, and the aura of spiritual power emitted by any living being is integrated into the endless black hole.
In this darkness, Yue Chen didn't even feel his own existence, he couldn't feel that he was thinking.
With a "bang", Yue Chen was suddenly slammed to the ground by a force, and bursts of sand and dust splashed around him. A group of people shouted, "Hall Master, what's wrong with you?"
Yue Chen got up and hurriedly asked, "Are there any young people?"
Zhuge Yi said with a smile: "Hall Master, there are a total of eight hundred and seven people here, and there are not many of them!"
"Hey, hall master, isn't there a ladder in the dark place above?Why did your old man fall directly, is it the reason why the Dao line is too high?" Sima Liang teased, "Sometimes the Dao line is too high, and it's not a good thing." ”
The other said, "Look, since the hall master came down, there is still a passage there?"
"Hey...... what's going on?" Sima Liang shouted, "Why is that mountain missing?"
The person who spoke before said: "This must be the only exit from the labyrinth, and at this moment, it is just closed again." I thought about it carefully, Zheng Hongxuan and the others were able to enter and exit the labyrinth freely, not because they knew how to crack the labyrinth, but because of the immortal boat. ”
Sima Liang said disdainfully: "Sang Geng, if you have something to say, let it go." Don't talk about useless things, I haven't seen you talk about anything before. If you want to talk about the labyrinth, at least in those mountains and forests, we still have grass to eat, and now in this endless desert, the maze is gone, but can we eat sand?"
"Sima Pifu, I don't want to talk to you, you don't mess with me!" Sang Geng roared with a gloomy face, "I mean it to the hall master!"
Sima Liang still said with a hippie smile: "Ouch! ”
Yue Chen waved his hand and said, "Now is the darkest time of the day, everyone take a break, we will set off before dawn." Oh, by the way, which Senior Brother Sang doesn't have any lofty opinions, you might as well come and hear it!"
Sang Geng drew on the ground and said, "Hall Master, we are now in the direction of due west, and according to my judgment, the labyrinth mountain forest is due east." So, that's where the problem comes in. And the sect's artifact immortal boat can ignore that labyrinth, hall master, do you think there is something wrong with that place?"
"What Senior Brother Sang means is that the immortal boat of the sect came in from the west of the Middle Palace Realm, and when Senior Brother Zheng asked us to jump, he didn't know the mountain forest in the east, but we mysteriously entered the labyrinth forest. ......”
Sima Liang exclaimed, "Air?"
Zhuge Yi shook his head and said, "It should be a cloud?"
Yue Chen and Sang Geng said at the same time: "It's fog!"
Sang Geng glanced at the bewildered fellow disciples and explained: "Let's think about it, why is it that only January to March every year is the best time to enter the Middle Palace Realm?
One said: "It's raining!"
"That's not right, this January, half of the time has passed, and I haven't seen a drop of rain!" Sima Liang muttered, "Could it be that the sect noticed that the weather was abnormal this year, so it was ready to carry out this experience?"
Sang Geng's reasoning made everyone fall into an endless discussion.
Yue Chen stared at the night sky, thinking of the labyrinthine mountains and forests that were swallowed by endless darkness, and only Ban Meng was left there alone. It is inevitable that my heart will be melancholy and sad. Thinking of the black shadows and the angry howl of Ban Meng, my heart became more and more uneasy.
"Greedy Wolf Blood Curse, why did this ancient blood curse appear at this time?"
