Chapter 69: Heavenly Punishment (I)
The High Priest, Ji Hou, and the other guards were all stunned at this moment, looking at the huge figure looming behind the wind and sand, all of them were stunned and speechless.
Under that huge figure, everyone looked like tiny ants, and no one would have thought that there would be such a terrifying and huge creature in this world.
At the foot of Mount Kinabalu is indeed the most dangerous place in the world.
The wind blew, and above the drumming wind and sand, two huge eyes slowly emerged, looking at them condescendingly and coldly.
Under that gaze, everyone only felt that there seemed to be an unstoppable cold air pouring from their heads to the soles of their feet, and their whole bodies were instantly cold, and they all stood in place and didn't dare to react, and they didn't dare to move.
In front of this mysterious beast, no one seems to have the heart to resist.
After a few moments, the beast did not roar and roar at them to start a slaughter, but after staring at them coldly for a moment, its head retracted, its eyes receding from the wind and sand and gradually disappearing, followed by the huge paws of its feet.
The sound of heavy footsteps faded away, as if the terrifying beast had left the place and disappeared into the wind and sand.
After a long while, the High Priest and the others were relieved to be sure that the huge monster that had never been heard of had indeed left, and at the same time everyone looked at each other, all looking frightened.
Among the crowd, the high priest and Ji Hou were the two who were still relatively calm, and they were the first to regain their composure, and after the two of them glanced at each other, Ji Hou whispered to the high priest: "Do you know what this is?"
The high priest hesitated, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, I've never heard of it." ”
Ji Hou nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Could it be that the desolate alien species left over from ancient times still exist here?"
The high priest was silent for a moment and said, "It's hard to say, there is indeed such a possibility. ”
Ji Hou glanced in the direction of the Divine Mountain in front of him, his face became a little ugly, and said, "High Priest, the closer you get to the Divine Mountain, the more strange things like this may be, do you still plan to continue walking?"
The high priest did not hesitate or hesitate, and nodded directly: "Keep going." ”
Anyway, he didn't care about the others, and was the first to turn around and walk forward.
Ji Hou took a deep look at the back of the High Priest behind him, and then waved his hand, and the remaining Terran guards picked up their blades one after another, and continued to walk forward behind the High Priest.
※※※
After crossing the large sand pit without any danger, leaving behind the yellow sand where the huge bones were buried, the group continued to walk forward again.
Ji Hou could feel that although the surrounding land still looked green and green, no different from the outside world, the strange and invisible aura of the power of the sacred mountain was suddenly much stronger.
He also noticed another inconspicuous change as he walked, and that was that the road under his feet seemed to be a little different from the place he had walked before.
Ji Hou remembers very well that when he first walked into the inner ring from the outside world, the road to heaven built on this ground has always been very good, square, flat and strong, except for some places where it is necessary to turn or detour, the road to heaven is almost straight forward, and there will be no potholes on the road, which is quite rare in this primitive and barbaric inner ring land.
However, the situation began to change after crossing the huge sand pit, and as he continued to walk deeper towards Mount Kinabalu, Ji Hou noticed that the road under his feet gradually became a little irregular, and the road began to have some hollows of different sizes, and the edges of the road were uneven. Moreover, these phenomena do not just occur in one place, but occur more frequently as they walk deeper and deeper.
In the end, those hollow and jagged defects have become almost everywhere, and Ji Hou is puzzled and angry in his heart, thinking that this must be strictly investigated and dealt with to set an example!
Who are to be investigated and dealt with?
Ji Hou spent a whole day thinking about this question, and then at a certain moment, his body suddenly shook violently, and something or something in his mind seemed to be torn apart, and he regained a little consciousness in that moment.
Then he saw what seemed to be a black light passing before his eyes, and when he looked closely, he saw the old face of the high priest.
The first thought that came to his mind, a little strange, a little inexplicable, that he had not thought of anything more important, or that he had been thinking about something as if he had been dreaming so hard before, and he only suddenly felt a little surprised at that moment: the high priest seemed to be much older.
The High Priest was indeed much older, his hair had fallen out completely, and only a bald head remained, wrinkled on his face, as deep as a knife cut into the flesh of his face, and in one of his eyes, except for the black pupils, the entire socket seemed to be a strange dark red, which seemed to be very congested. On top of that, he clung to the black staff.
Staffs!
Ji Hou's body shook slightly, and then he thought of the black shadow he had felt before, and now that he thought about it, it was probably the strange effect of this black staff.
Then, his gaze suddenly stopped on the high priest's palms holding the black scepter, which seemed to have lost all their luster, and the once full flesh and blood had all dried up, and only a layer of withered skin was left attached to the bones, and the green tendons on them were exposed, like skeleton zombies, which looked extremely terrifying.
Ji Hou swallowed his saliva and wanted to ask, but suddenly found that his tongue had become extremely stiff, and he seemed to be unable to speak for a long time, as if he had lost the ability to speak, and finally only made a few low voices that made people feel chills.
What's going on?
What's going on?
Ji Hou felt like he was in a nightmare, and then, as if he heard a sound of footsteps behind him, the sound was not loud, very thin, and very slow.
Ji Hou hesitated for a moment, then turned around with some difficulty.
As far as he could, he saw one of the guards who had followed him into the Inner Ring, a man walking, but unusually slowly, not looking like a young man at all, but rather an old man dying of old age.
At the same time, the guard's face was indifferent, the pupils in his eyes were dilated several times, and his eyes were hollow, dull, emotionless, and looked like a living dead.
Ji Hou was shocked in his heart, but there was still no expression on his face, it was not that he was unusually calm, but that he found that his emotions seemed to have been suppressed by some force, and it was meaningless to look at anything.
Beside the guard, who looked like the living dead, he saw another guard, and it was the same. Then one after another, and one after another, as Ji Hou's gaze turned, he saw more of the escort warriors, all of them walking slowly and aimlessly on the path behind him, each with empty eyes and no emotion, everyone like a walking corpse, losing all sanity.
"Over...... Come ......"
