Chapter 128: Temptation
More than a month has passed.
In a dense forest on a certain level of the Heavenly Demon Tower, there were all kinds of trees that were about five or six zhang high, and the two of them could be enclosed by various trees that were difficult to name, but between these trees were open spaces of three or four zhang in size, covered with fallen leaves and moss.
Just above a clearing, there seemed to be nothing, but suddenly a small whirlwind appeared inadvertently, swept the surrounding leaves into the air, and then there was no movement.
Just a moment after the abnormal movement occurred here, there was a faint sound of mosquitoes on another clearing two feet away, and two small whirlwinds were seen.
It was as if there was something abnormal about the air pressure in this place, which formed this natural imagination.
This strange natural scene is like a straight line, and in two breaths, it passes through the woods of more than ten zhang, and continues to go in the northwest direction.
To the east of this forest, however, is a vast blue lake, and on top of the lake are all kinds of strange monsters that have never been seen before.
Some monsters are the size of a foot, like a sparrow, but a bird and beast with a cat's head, while others are the size of a water tank, like a goat with four fish tails, three wings, and two pairs of eyes, and some are flat like kites, with muscles full of feathers on both sides, constantly flapping, and eyes, mouths, and noses growing on the side of the sky
Not to mention, there were dozens of birds and beasts of all kinds flying in groups in the sky, and all kinds of chirping sounds were heard.
Just more than ten miles northwest of this giant lake, but gradually appeared a small mountain range, these mountains to the northwest, the higher and taller they become, and under the blue sky and white clouds, the mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist, and fairy birds are singing.
This is also the rumored southeast of the "Taiyao Mountain" mountain range.
After a stick of incense, on a valley clearing connected to the dense forest at the foot of a small mountain in the huge "Taiyao Mountain" mountain range, two small whirlwinds rolled up, and there was a strange writhing in the void, but two people staggered out of it.
One is an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy in a white robe, while the other is a stunning woman wearing a long blue dress and a double-ring bun, it is Dugu Bo and Xue Zhiyao.
Looking at the small canyons of the size of acres and low bushes around them, and the verdant mountains that gradually became higher in the northwest, the two of them were happy.
"Senior Sister Xue, I waited for the two of us to travel for more than a month, and finally bypassed the huge 'Heavenly Bird Lake' and came to the foot of this 'Taiyao Mountain'.
It seems that the ruins are still somewhere in the northeast of this 'Taiyao Mountain', and if the two of us hurry up again, we will be able to arrive in another seven or eight days. ”
"Well, what Senior Brother Dugu said is very true, I'll wait for this to leave. ”
After that, Xue Zhiyao's body twisted strangely for a while, and then disappeared into the void; Dugu Bo put his divine sense away, but it was difficult to find half of the other party's body at all, and he couldn't help but sigh that this "stealth bead" was wonderful, if he had this "stealth bead" when facing the enemy in the future, then he would often get twice the result with half the effort.
It's a pity that I learned from Xue Zhiyao's mouth that this "stealth bead" only has the effect of being used for a period of time, and in another month, it will lose the forbidden effect of stealth, which makes Dugu Bo feel a little regretful.
Thinking of it for a moment, Dugu Bo's heart moved, and the "invisibility bead" in his hand suddenly flashed white, and his figure gradually disappeared in front of people.
Then, with a small whirlwind on the ground, he was no longer here.
After seven or eight days of walking, several mountains were bypassed, and only then did they reach a canyon plain the size of a few miles surrounded by mountains.
When the two of them reached the center of this wide and flat canyon, they found that there was a dense white mist miasma within a radius of more than 100 zhang, enveloping the plain overgrown with shrubs.
But the earth on the plain was strange, snow-white, like fine sand on the beach.
Dugu Bo and Xue Zhiyao stepped on these fine sands, and looked at the foot-tall white-skinned vegetation growing from the fine sand, but their faces showed a strange look.
"Senior Sister Xue, there is something strange here. ”
Dugu Bo looked at the circular canyon plain and the white fine sand soil and these white shrubs that contrasted strongly with the green vegetation on the surrounding mountains, and muttered to Xue Zhiyao, who was also observing the surrounding scene on the left.
"The soil and the white shrubs here are not originally here, but they are artificially arranged here, and they are arranged according to a certain shape, so that the green vegetation cannot grow in the white sand.
Brother Dugu, please look at the sky. ”
Xue Zhiyao said lightly to Dugu Bo, but her brain was thinking about something quickly.
When Dugu Bo heard this, he immediately raised his head and looked at the sky, only to find that above the blue sky, there were several dazzling stars.
There were eight of them, shimmering in the sky in an irregular funnel shape, and it was strange that there should be such a starlight in a sky so full of sunshine.
Moreover, when Dugu Bo was outside this canyon, he didn't find these eight dazzling stars, is it because there are some prohibitions in this place that let them be here to see those stars?
Dugu Bo showed a dumb look on his face, obviously the impenetrable clouds in the center of this place, the white canyon plain and the eight stars above were by no means as simple as they seemed on the surface, it should be a magical array that touched the heavens and the earth.
Presumably, Xue Zhiyao already has some plans in her heart at the moment, and Dugu Bo, who has no understanding of the formation at all, also knows that even if she thinks about it more, it will be useless, so she will no longer worry too much in her heart.
Sure enough, after Xue Zhiyao explained a few words to Dugu Bo, she flipped it over with one hand, but there was an extra piece of white jade array plate, and there were words in her mouth, and sometimes she entered a few methods and never entered it, and began to walk around the entire canyon plain.
Dugu Bo, who had nothing to do, sat cross-legged and simply began to meditate, resting and recuperating.
After nearly two months of traveling, his mind was also quite tired.
This sitting is a day and a night, and when Dugu Bo opened his eyes again, he found that there was an extra person beside him, it was Xue Zhiyao's daughter.
I saw that this woman's eyes were closed, and her expression was indifferent on her fair cheeks, obviously she was also tired these days.
After two months of getting along, Dugu Bo also felt that this woman was not a very scheming person, so he gradually trusted her.
Dugu Bo stood up, not wanting to disturb the other party, so he walked towards the thick cloud more than ten zhang away, listening to what Xue Zhiyao said before, this should be the entrance to the ancient ruins, but this entrance is a set of ancient mystical formations.
In this formation, the Xue family has inquired and tried various methods to crack this formation in many ways in the outside world.
Now this Xue Zhiyao also rushed here with some of the results of some attempts by the upper echelons of the Xue family, hoping to finally unlock the formation eye of this formation, as long as a small opening can be opened and let the two of them enter, then this trip can be regarded as achieving the ultimate goal.
Looking at the clouds and mist that were more than 100 zhang in size, Dugu Bo's divine sense was released, and when his divine sense touched the cloud, Dugu Boton felt as if his divine consciousness had touched the marshmallow, and the next moment, the soft marshmallow flicked his divine consciousness away.
Dugu Bo hurriedly took back his divine sense.
So he began to walk around the clouds of more than 100 zhang, walking seventy or eighty zhang, and after thinking that he would not disturb Xue Zhiyao, Dugu Bo raised his right hand slightly, and with a flick of his fingertips, several five-foot golden sword lights suddenly popped out of his hand and submerged into the white clouds in front of him.
But what happened in the next moment made Dugu Bo's heart condense, only to see that these sword lights had just touched those white clouds, and under the surge of these white clouds, a white light shield of a certain size suddenly appeared.
The moment this barrier appeared, several white lightning bolts as thick as chopsticks shot out, and in a low crackling sound, several sword fingers issued by Dugu Bo were also extinguished by these white lightning.
Dugu Bo's right ear jumped slightly, and he immediately stood up and walked away, and with a light drink, his right palm pushed forward, and immediately in a burst of dragon roar, a three-zhang long golden dragon phantom shot towards the opposite cloud.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sound immediately came from the surging clouds, only to see a huge white lightning like an electric dragon slashed on the golden dragon phantom, and suddenly a majestic spiritual pressure went in all directions, Dugu Bo's figure was unstable, but he staggered backwards for more than ten steps before stopping.
And when he looked ahead, the chaotic golden light gradually faded, and the clouds and mist became motionless in a stirring of clouds.
Lian Lian used his own natal ** to attack this cloud and mist, which also made Dugu Bo die, it seems that even if he summons the Binding Immortal Suo, it should have no effect on the prohibition of this magic circle.
With his ability, even if he and Xue Zhiyao joined forces to attack this formation, it would be impossible to break it at all.
After trying to no avail, Dugu Bo walked back slowly, and after more than two hours, Xue Zhiyao opened her eyes, and the first thing she did when she got up was to take her jade and calculate something.
And Dugu Bo would sometimes ask Xue Zhiyao some questions about the formation, and Xue Zhiyao would also answer them in detail, so that Dugu Bo also began to slowly have some preliminary understanding of the formation in front of him.
Four or five days have passed.
Xue Zhiyao was always walking around with a jade plate, and from time to time she took out an ordinary small flag and planted it all over the plain, as if she was arranging a formation, and as if she was observing.
