Volume 2 Ancient Sword Chapter 23 Strange Tomb
For the newly founded Sky Wolf Valley, after a new round of adjustments and changes, it was actually divided into nine forces. For the hall master Yue Chen, who has no experience, the most important thing is to control which eight people, and the key to controlling which eight people is to need people like Xiao Yao and Mu Hao. Yue Chen must not let Shen Shao and Xiao Yao disappear in front of his eyes at the same time.
Because if he relied on the Tao to cultivate, Yue Chen could at least suppress the normal Xiao Yao and Shen Shao. But there are too many variables other than Taoism. What's more, Yue Chen has always been convinced that the most powerful thing in this world is not the Dao magic power and cultivation realm that people have, but the wisdom of people.
It is said that after Yue Chen and the others rested peacefully for the night, they set off at the end of the next day under the leadership of Huang Xu. In this vast area, the aura is extremely abundant, and there are really a lot of first-grade and second-grade spiritual materials. The people of the Heavenly Wolf Valley gradually divided into nine detachments and spread out into a fan shape. It is equivalent to carrying out another "cleaning" within a distance of walking out of the Blood Mangling.
Mu Hao saw that Xiao Yao was a little farther away from Yue Chen, so he quietly approached Yue Chen and said in a low voice: "Hall Master, do you really believe that the ancient tomb is thousands of miles away?"
Yue Chen was shocked, his eyes were full of doubts, and he just shook his head slightly, but Mu Hao's words obviously reminded Yue Chen, and Yue Chen reacted immediately. "Why didn't I think of this section?"
"I've only met the man named Yellowbeard once, and he doesn't seem to have much reputation. However, a person like him who came from a family of tomb robbers has always had strange skills, and he is the target of many forces. Therefore, it is still strange that he can blend in with these people. When Mu Hao spoke, he always liked to look around, and when he saw that no one was approaching, he said: "Now, Huang Xu belongs to Shen Shao's side, and I always feel that the 'land of a thousand miles' he said is unreliable. You have to know this matter, the hall master. ”
Yue Chen asked sincerely, "Brother Pastor, what do you think I should do to control the situation quietly?"
"At the moment, no one is going to make a difference. What we need to watch out for is the great changes that may occur after the tomb. After a pause, Mu Hao said, "Hall Master, I think you should gather Ban and Du together at your side first, just in case." In this way, it will be enough to deal with any mutations by the end of this hunt. After returning to the outer gate region, the forces of Shen and Ju can be put on the bright side, so that they can check and balance each other. At the same time, he secretly supported the forces of Ban and Du, secretly controlled the forces of Xu and Fei, and left the remaining two forces to develop. ”
"Brother Priest is really brilliant and incomparable! With you, my affairs will be much easier!" Yue Chen said with a smile, "Everything will be done according to what you say." At the moment, it is up to you and Xiaolang to deal with it. ”
Mu Hao said "oh", and when he looked up, he found that Nangong Lang was on his side, his body shook slightly, and he smiled reluctantly.
"Brother Pastor, you have to believe me, and you have to believe the three people who are with me. I believe that as long as I live, the three of them will never hurt you. ”
Mu Hao nodded heavily, relieved, and said in a low voice: "Let's go first!"
"Hmm!" Yue Chen nodded, and after seeing the two of them leaving, he walked towards Xiao Yao, and said in his heart: "Blood Devouring Demon! What Brother Priest saw must be another side of Senior Brother Xiao. Judging by his determination to get rid of Zuo Tai, I am afraid that his deeds are far above mine. This senior brother is not easy to deal with! Can that deal be easily realized?"
Xiao Yao saw Yue Chen coming over, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Yue, you are becoming more and more shrewd! Yesterday's arrangement was quite methodical, but it was still a little immature. But in time, you will definitely become a new force of the Divine Fox Sect. ”
"Senior Brother, don't laugh at me like that!" Yue Chen said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother, you said that with this speed, how many days will it take to reach the area that Senior Brother Huang said?"
"Haha......!" Xiao Yao laughed loudly without any scruples, ignoring the rain and snow next to him, and said, "Don't worry, within three days, you will definitely be able to reach that ancient tomb area." Hall Master, with all due respect, it is not enough for you to rely on a pair of eyes now. If you want to control the overall situation, you must be able to 'see six ways and listen to all directions'. Of course, this kind of ability has grown up in countless tempering, and it will not be able to learn it for a while. However, you have a very good start, and then, the fate of Sirius Valley is completely determined by your growth. It's not easy!"
In this way, hundreds of people walked and stopped, talking and laughing, and before they knew it, two days had passed. On the third day, everyone cheered up, no longer looking for spiritual materials, and began to gradually gather towards Yue Chen. This kind of inexplicable opportunity made Yue Chen really cry and laugh. It can be seen that none of these hundreds of people are "stupid". Secretly thought to himself: "Until now, I have only traveled less than five hundred miles. Huang Xu's theory of a thousand miles seems to be a bit exaggerated. ”
Yue Chen knew in his heart that in such a place where there was abundant spiritual energy and there was no trace of life, there might be a mysterious area at any time. This once again reminds me of the great trial of the sect, and its various legends are similar to the hunting of the Three Fox Sect. It's all about the unknown time, and the unknown opportunity suddenly appears. Life and death can only be determined by heaven.
Like the Blood Mangling Ridge that gave birth to the spiritual materials of heaven and earth, there was not a single demon beast to be seen, what kind of mysterious and weird area should this be? Speaking of demon beasts, Yue Chen and the others only saw a Nine Hidden Raccoon, and it was also a high-level demon beast that had been hit hard. For this reason, Yue Chen thought of the fat fish and the giant elephant, and said in his heart: "Could it be because of them?"
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Xu hurriedly came to Yue Chen's side and said, "Hall Master, my previous investigation may have been wrong, and now I need to re-determine." In order to avoid accidents, please ask the hall master to give an order for everyone to stand behind the hall master. ”
Yue Chen nodded, looked around at everyone, and waved his hand. In a moment, the forces of the eight directions stood behind them in an orderly manner.
Seeing this, Huang Xu was relieved, took out a special-shaped shovel from the coarse cloth bag on his waist, took three steps forward, slowly squatted down, and began to dig along a curve that seemed to be visible only to him. How dare Yue Chen relax in the slightest, quietly take out the Seven Evil Mysterious Wood, and wait and see what happens.
Suddenly, after Huang Xu made a shovel, a gust of wind whistled in front of him, and a huge gray shadow rose out of thin air, like a protruding tornado, sweeping the sky full of dust and sand. Huang Xu's body shrank strangely, and he didn't care about the special-shaped shovel, and flashed directly to Yue Chen's side. sighed and said: "Hall Master, I didn't do a good job! I accidentally touched the prohibition and released a ghost thing! However, according to my judgment, this ghost thing can't escape the nameless prohibition for the time being. ”
Yue Chen said, "Senior Brother Huang, what should we do next?"
Huang Xu replied directly: "This ghost creature can escape the ban so quickly, which shows that it may be one of the most powerful ghost things. If you can kill this ghost, you may have unexpected gains!"
"Okay! That's it!" Yue Chen replied even more neatly. After saying that, he took two steps forward alone, and Huang Xu suddenly reached out and grabbed Yue Chen, and said, "Hall Master, if you are not sure, forget it." I believe that we will have enough time to escape before the demons break all the prohibitions. ”
Yue Chen patted Huang Xu on the shoulder and said, "It's okay! I'll be careful!" But he also knew that Huang Xu must have other unspeakable secrets. After a moment's thought, Yue Chen took out the Blue Dragon Broken Sword, held the Seven Evil Xuanmu in his hand, and rushed towards the gradually solidifying gray shadow.
Everyone saw that in an instant, Yue Chen disappeared into the gray shadow, and there was no other movement. Until an hour later, a red light rose from the gray shadow, gradually engulfing the gray shadow. Just as the gray shadow was about to fade, everyone began to collapse along a curve of the alien shovel in front of them. That curve seems to have extremely powerful mana, and the mountain collapses on one side, and the other side is as calm as a lake.
In the collapsed area, the wind howled rapidly, and there were tens of thousands of gray, white, and black shadows rising. Suddenly, the big shadow swallowed the small shadow and continued to grow, the shadows of similar size collided and squeezed each other, and some of the shadows that fled in all directions disappeared without a trace when they touched an invisible line. Then the sound of ghosts crying more and more, louder and louder, wave after wave spread far away.
The earth cracked and the mountains collapsed, and the ghosts were heavy, like a demonic hell. But everyone's eyes were always focused on that red light. The red light always gradually becomes stronger after the initial faintness, and endlessly devours the shadow that touches it. It's just that the red light gradually accelerated from the initial pause, chasing those shadows that seemed to have "intelligence".
In an instant, there were only three shadows left, one gray, one white, and one black. For these three shadows, the red light also seemed to be a little powerless, and the four forces began to be in a state of confrontation.
The cracked earth, after a moment of silence, suddenly made a loud noise. The sound came from all over the abyssal walls, and the walls cracked into the endless darkness of the earth. Suddenly, a powerful force rushed out of the darkness, scattering the four opposing forces. The three shadows, except for the red light, seemed to have been amnestied, and they all attacked an abyss wall due south. After several attacks, it seemed that a door was opened, and three shadows disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in an instant.
After a while, the red light also disappeared, and Yue Chen's imperial sword returned to everyone, smiling. Everyone suddenly felt that Yue Chen had a certain change, but no one could say clearly.
Dongmen Yu asked cautiously, "Big brother, are you okay?"
Yue Chen laughed and said, "It's not a big deal! It's just that in the fierce battle just now, my cultivation realm has been slightly improved!" "That's right, when the power emitted by the Seven Evil Xuanmu eliminated those ghost things in the shadows, due to the excess of spiritual power in the Xuanmu, some of it was transmitted into Yue Chen's body as before. As a result, Yue Chen's realm was re-elevated from the Divine Derivation Realm to the third major consummation.
At this moment, the originally extremely dark Collapsed Region suddenly became brighter, no different from the time and space where Yue Chen and the others lived.
The area that has just collapsed is only seven feet deep. The walls are crisscrossed with countless stone steps that can accommodate one person. On the north side, where each stone step is connected, there is a hole' opening, faintly glowing with a different light. The center of the territory is an open field, and there is nothing but a feeling of extreme calm.
"Hehe, I'm afraid I'm going to work in vain!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "This should be a well-dressed mound of the demon clan." And the mound of the demon clan is mainly used to suppress the fierce ghosts. Judging from the three ghosts that fled just now, it seems that there are no powerful ghosts that have been suppressed. Could it be that the demon clan is deliberately playing tricks?"
Yue Chen didn't answer, but glanced at Huang Xu. Huang Xu nodded and said, "Senior brother said about the same. But now that we're here, why don't we go in and have a look?"
Dongmen Yu walked up to Huang Xu and asked coldly, "Didn't you say that there are a lot of metal things in the tomb?"
"Little junior brother, I'm definitely not wrong about this! There are indeed a large number of metal utensils in here, but I'm afraid it's not a useful immortal magic weapon, it may be a pile of broken things!"
There was also a rumbling in the crowd.
Mu Hao couldn't help it, approached Yue Chen, and said, "Senior Brother Yue, this is no longer the Bloody Mangling Region. Such a big movement may alarm other people nearby. We need to move fast!"
In an instant, all eyes looked at Mu Hao, who seemed to shrink in habit, standing beside Yue Chen and no longer speaking.
Yue Chen said loudly: "In that case, senior brothers and sisters, go and find your own opportunities. I only want to emphasize that after three hours, everyone is still gathered here, but if I lose a person, I will live to see people, and I will die to see corpses. Hello everyone!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a soft sigh from the crowd.
The first person to rush to the entrance of the cave was, of course, Dongmen Yu. Rain, Snow, and Waves flew and entered the three caves in the most central area first. The others also walked quickly to the staircase, only Yue Chen stood on the edge, watching everyone enter this mysterious clothed mound. Suddenly, there was a flower in front of me, but when I looked at it again, there was nothing abnormal, so I didn't pay attention to it.
The most unexpected thing for Yue Chen still happened. After these people entered the stone staircase, one by one they disappeared in front of their eyes. Yue Chen was taken aback, and hurriedly called a few times, but there was no response. In desperation, Edgeworth chased after the stone staircase where everyone had disappeared, but there was still no one in sight.
Yue Chen tried to walk a distance, but he couldn't find anyone, and said curiously: "Can they go so fast?" Thinking of this, Edgeworth flew towards the entrance of the nearest cave to everyone, and after a little hesitation, he still got in. It didn't go far before it came to an end. Obviously, this is a dead hole, presumably a temporary place to sleep.
If this is the case again and again, Yue Chen has encountered all the dead holes. The most important thing is that no one can touch it. Yue Chen's heart began to chill, if these people disappeared here inexplicably, they were killed by themselves. Yue Chen tried his best to calm himself down, better observe the situation here, and kept searching his memory for knowledge related to this mysterious ancient tomb. Often at this time, Yue Chen felt that he knew too little, too little.
In the endless waiting, night had already fallen, not to mention that Yue Chen's agreed meeting time had already passed. Yue Chen also gradually calmed down from the initial extreme uneasiness, and simply found a secluded place to watch the changes. As for the great opportunity in this ancient tomb, I can't take care of it. Because around this mysterious ancient tomb, if there are really some powerful opponents, the situation will really be unimaginable.
It wasn't until seven days later that there was a loud noise in the ancient tomb, and Yue Chen's nerves, which had been slightly relaxed, were tensed again. It was like the sound of a bell coming from the ground, like the sound of a heavy gate being shut, and it seemed to be a kind of ringing of gold and iron.
A loud bang rang out irregularly. With this sound, Yue Chen suddenly heard a person behind him shouting, "Big brother, what treasure have you found?"
Yue Chen heard a "buzz" sound in his mind, and after calming down a little, he turned around to see that the three of rain, snow, and waves came out of nowhere, and appeared behind him silently. What surprised Yue Chen even more was that Mu Hao was with them.
Dongmen Yu roared angrily: "Skinny boy, how did you find us?"
Mu Hao just laughed, spread his hands, didn't say anything, walked up to Yue Chen cautiously, and said, "Hall Master, this ancient tomb is not that simple!" As he was speaking, Xiao Yao and the others actually came out of thin air under the ground, just like normal walking.
