Chapter 11: Ruins
Zhang Hu stretched his head out of the water waves, and saw that there were stone pillars collapsing a few meters away, and there were some stone walls next to them, which also collapsed, and there were some vines coiled on these stone pillars and stone walls, all of which were blue thread vines at a closer look, but they were already dead and old, and the color was yellow and dry, and there were weeds everywhere in these stone walls and stone pillars.
He raised his head again, looked into the distance, and saw the houses full of collapsed ruins and broken walls, tall and magnificent, but unfortunately, they were all coiled and intertwined with blue thread vines, but he could still see that this place seemed to be very majestic and majestic back then, his heart beat a little faster, there were so many blue thread vines here, some were dead, and some were alive, could this be the ruins of Shenwu City back then?
He didn't know, and he didn't know what Shenwu City was like back then? However, when he came to this ruined place, he decided to search carefully, first slowly walked out of this water wave wall, and cautiously looked into the distance, the team of people and horses of the Corpse Yin Sect had quickly disappeared into this ruin, he walked to the top of a stone pillar, stood on a high place and looked, this ruin could not see the end, there seemed to be a very thick fog in the sky, however, it was not dim, it seemed that there was sunlight shining down from the fog, but seeing the water wave wall just now, it must be a huge array, a giant array that shrouded this ruin-like giant city, the light was bright, it might be related to this giant array, but he didn't need to know so much, just to make sure if this is Shenwu City?
He still quietly followed the team, the Green Wolf King had already let it go, and it was no longer suitable to stay in this ruin.
The disciples of this corpse yin sect and the corpse ghost seem to have a very strong purpose, walking through the ruins, Zhang Hu followed behind, and saw tall and towering buildings, but unfortunately most of them were coiled by the blue line vine, and some of them seemed to be the ruins left after the war, so I knew that this place had experienced the battlefield, and then, it was frantically invaded by the blue line vine, and it was estimated that this was the reason why this city became a ruin.
The blue thread vine, as Chen Qian said in her mouth, is extremely sensitive to blood spells and spiritual power, perhaps it is precisely because of the large-scale war in this city, which led to the flow of blood and the explosion of spiritual power, and the blue thread vine frantically devoured blood and corpse evolution, and as a result, the blue thread vine finally evolved out of control, causing the entire city to be destroyed, although this is just speculation, but he feels that it is very likely that this is how it became the current ruins.
Zhang Hu has been following them, and then, he found that in this ruins, it is not that the living souls are extinct, there are many fierce beasts and brute beasts entrenched in it, however, it seems that they are fighting each other very ferociously, sometimes he is a little numb when he hears it, and the people of the Corpse Yin Sect who walked in front are also very nervous, trying not to attract the attention of those brute beasts, with his divine sense, he also noticed that these brute beasts and fierce beasts are extremely strong, no wonder these foundation building powerhouses are so jealous, but, cautiously, they do not seem to have been attacked by any brute beasts, and Zhang Hu also frowned and followed behind their butts for several days, almost advancing hundreds of miles into the depthThis ruined land is not over yet, and I am secretly worried about how big is this ruined city? Is it really a super giant city?
It's a pity that he didn't see any records of writing in the collapsed ruins along the way, maybe the years have decayed, maybe the writing language here is different from what they are now, anyway, Zhang Hu has no way to confirm whether this is Shenwu City or not.
On this day, the sixteen people in front suddenly stopped, he hurriedly hid behind the broken wall next to him, blended into the rocky earth, and secretly looked at them, only to find that they looked up in a direction on the left, and hurriedly looked along, and was shocked to see that thousands of meters away on the left, there was a towering tower-shaped building, and suddenly a brilliant white pillar of light shot out from the spire of the tower, and landed on a ground not far away, but there was no rumbling sound on the ground, obviously, not destructive energy.
What made him feel strange was that after this white pillar of light shot down, his divine sense did not detect any energy fluctuations, that is to say, the energy of this white pillar of light was extremely restrained, like a very pure power, at this time, he saw that the disciples of the Corpse Yin Sect suddenly exclaimed, and the three corpse ghosts also ran towards the place of the pillar of light at great speed.
Zhang Hu frowned slightly, did not follow closely, but found the tallest ruined building, climbed to the top, looked towards the towering stone tower, luckily, just saw the white pillar of light shining in a pool in the distance, not a very large pool, there was a beast roar in the distance, he immediately saw a black ape beast pounced, however, it looked limping.
His eyesight was strong, and he saw that there was a huge wound on the left arm of the big black ape, as if it had been bitten off by some kind of fierce beast, and one of its retreats was the same, almost running to the edge of the pool of the white pillar of light with one hand and one foot, and saw some small beasts pounce and roared directly, scaring them away, and then, the big black ape stretched his feet into the pool, and the light of the white pillar of light shone on its wound, Zhang Hu was shocked to find that the wound that was bitten almost white bones was actually restored at a visible speed。
The three corpse ghosts also found the figure of the big black ape, and seemed to feel its fierce and terrifying, and immediately slowed down their pace, and the thirteen disciples of the Corpse Yin Sect cautiously hid in a ruined house next to them, looking at the big black ape from a distance, for more than half an hour, the wounds on the arms, feet and body of the big black ape were completely healed by this white pillar of light, and they couldn't help waving their hands in place, patting their chests, as if showing their domineering and ferocious roar a few times, and then, they began to leave, and did not mean to occupy this healing pillar of light one after another.
After the big black ape left, the thirteen cultivators of the Corpse Yin Sect hurriedly ran over, but as a result, the pillar of light that healed the wound disappeared, and many people seemed to be disappointed, Zhang Hu also frowned at the back, and the time to see this light seemed to last less than an hour, however, the people of the Corpse Yin Sect seemed to be very unwilling, and camped nearby, but they didn't expect that at this time the next day, a white pillar of light shot from the top of the towering stone tower, and those people were happily bathed in the white pillar of light, and after they came out, they were all excited, obviously, the body that was injured by the blue thread vine and the green pill recovered with the help of this light。
Then, Zhang Hu saw that they didn't stay around this tower for long, and then, continue to set off, he really wanted to study what this towering stone tower was, it could shoot out a pillar of light energy to heal injuries, but he didn't want to lose the goal of these people in this corpse Yin Sect, he felt that their purpose might have something to do with his own purpose, he didn't want to miss any opportunity to remove the strange poison on his body, so he was in a dilemma to follow behind these people, at this moment, he suddenly heard some squeaky sounds, in this ruins, some mice ran out, seemed to be running in the direction of the towering stone tower, and immediately felt great joy in his heart。
Zhang Hu immediately used psychic techniques to subdue one of them first, and after learning about the rat king, he subdued it in one fell swoop, and then let the rat king take the rat group and quietly follow behind these people, of course, every other way, some mice must be left to convey the news.
Because of the psychic, the wisdom of the rats, it is said, is the closest animal to their humans, the wisdom is unparalleled, sure enough, the rat king quickly understood what he meant, and immediately took a group of rats and quietly followed behind those people.
Although he is still a little uneasy, but there is no need to be so hands-on, to believe in these rat kings, wait until the corpse Yin Sect and others leave thousands of meters, he is on a high building, no longer see the figure of those people, before coming to the side of this towering stone tower, this stone tower, estimated to be more than two hundred meters high, the tower is shaped into an octagonal eight sides, however, this stone tower seems to have suffered from the war and the attack and destruction of the blue line vine, there are a lot of decayed blue line vines coiled on it, many places of the stone tower have also collapsed, and can still stand on the ground, it is estimated that they are all very lucky existence, there are almost no intact or non-collapsed buildings around, but it is thought that the foundation of this stone tower is quite good, and maybe because of the problem of the healing light pillar, it was not completely destroyed.
He came to the side of the stone tower, touched the wall, and used his divine sense to perceive it, and did not find any strange power, and took a look around the stone tower, it seemed that there was a stone door, but unfortunately it was piled up with stones, he took the cyan flying sword and slashed these stones blocked at the stone entrance a few times, the flying sword actually sparked, and these stones did not crack as he imagined, only some sword marks, not deep, I knew that these stones were very hard, at least the same level as some materials for refining flying swords, I don't know what the intention of piling up here isObstructing others from entering, or is it a scene left over from the Great War?
He had no choice but to take the flying sword again, and cut the wall of the stone tower, sure enough, it was the same material as the stones piled up at the door, and he faintly felt that someone deliberately piled these stones at the door, not letting people in, thinking about it, and grabbed these stones with his hands, and wanted to move them out, but unfortunately, he grabbed and dragged it, but it seemed to pull out a stone born in the earth, which could not be shaken, so he had to give up the idea of wanting to enter the stone tower, but frowned and looked up at the stone tower.
In the end, he still grabbed some stone bulges outside the stone tower, and slowly climbed towards it, fortunately, the outside of the stone tower suffered a strong attack because of war or other reasons, and there were many uneven places on it, which could be grabbed or lowered, so he climbed to a height of more than 100 meters in less than ten minutes, but suddenly felt that above the body, as if there was gradually a pressure on the body, as he continued to climb up, the pressure became more and more intense, and he gradually felt that his body began to carry a stone of hundreds of catties.
Although this hundred catties is nothing to him, a cultivator with ten layers of condensation, he looked up at the spire, it was at least more than forty meters high, according to the increase in the strength pressed on his body, when he reached the spire, his body could not withstand the power of thousands of catties at all, and when the time came, he would be pressed to explode, so wouldn't it be a burp?
However, he was very unwilling, in the end, he gritted his teeth and insisted on climbing up, until there was a force suppression of five hundred catties on his body, he knew that such a brute force to climb up, the final result must be very bad, he tried to find a way, and also used spiritism, the power of divine consciousness constantly perceived and touched, it was a little difficult to assimilate, but it was not absolute, it should be because of the material of this stone tower, however, a few hours later, exploring and running-in, when he opened his eyes, he noticed that the weight on his body had suddenly decreased a lot, and he was busy climbing up, and finally, he carried seven or eight hundred catties of weight on his body and came to the spire。
He gasped a few times, and saw a huge white stone ball on top of the spire, about the size of a washbasin, and he didn't know if it was an ornament or a strange treasure that emitted the healing light.
He carefully touched the big stone ball, feeling that there was nothing strange on the surface, nor did there be any lines, it was a stone ball polished out of the stone, he wanted to wait until the next day when the stone tower broke out again to heal the pillar of light, and then observe the mystery, but unfortunately, he was here, it was the result of using the light of divine consciousness to withstand the pressure of the stone tower, and also using spiritism and the result of the fossil tower, his cultivation was too low after all, and he couldn't resist the power of the stone tower for a long time, so he had to frown and study it carefully.
This stone ball was not found, he looked at the eaves, corners and eaves of the spire, there are some lines on it, but it is the decorative texture of the tiles, touch it with his hands, there is nothing strange at all, and also divide a part of the divine sense, check the patterns of these tiles, still nothing, could it be that this stone tower gathers healing power through this stone ball?
He had no choice but to turn his gaze to this inconspicuous stone ball again, and to take a closer look at the divine consciousness, at a cursory glance, it was indeed unremarkable, but his divine consciousness was transformed through the mystery of the path of the beginning realm, and it was the power of divine consciousness close to the origin, and it also spied on the mystery of the power of life, and the divine was extraordinary, so he quickly noticed that this stone ball was absolutely extraordinary, and his divine consciousness gradually seemed to run out of this stone ball, but he felt as if he had entered a starry sky full of stars.
He continued to explore deeply in this star space, and he didn't know how long, he actually felt a little lost in this vast star, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, and at the moment of retreat, in this star space-time, there seemed to be a ray of light shooting out, shooting directly at him, so frightened that he hurriedly retreated to the side, and almost fell from the spire, and then, he stared at the plain stone ball, which gradually lit up, turned into a white ball of light, and a white pillar of light shot directly to the bottom of the stone tower.
Zhang Hu's eyes widened, and he didn't know what was going on? Why did he stimulate this stone ball? However, he didn't understand what was going on? His eyes stared at the glowing stone ball, and the more he looked at it, the more frowning he became, but his heart was beating a little fluttering.
