Chapter 5: The Beast - Manticore!
Ancient, desolate, savage!
At this moment, an ancient altar that seemed to be dry was like an ancient sealing circle, carved with mysterious patterns, just like the concrete manifestation of the supreme principle of heaven and earth.
The altar has existed for I don't know how many years, but the altar is still immortal and does not grind a trace.
Kong Xuan and Jiang Xiaofeng stood on the side of the altar, carefully observing all the patterns on the altar, trying to obtain useful information from it.
Looking at the two of them in rags and gray faces, and then thinking of the skills of the two, I knew that Lu Dao must have encountered a lot of dangers along the way.
Things went back to two months ago, on that day, Kong Xuan agreed to Jiang Xiaofeng's request, and the next day the two set off, running all the way, and finally came to a hidden valley in Shangri-La, Yunnan Province.
Surrounded by mountains, the pale white clouds and mist make this place reveal a mysterious charm, and the terrain is majestic, even the concentration of heaven and earth aura is also richer than other places.
It is already part of the deep river and Daze, and it is full of miasma, and there are often wild beasts and poisonous insects.
There is no scorching heat in summer, less severe cold in winter, abundant rain, humidity, the mountain is often shrouded in clouds and mist, the mountain is full of verdant trees, verdant in all seasons, so the mountain is full of melons and fruits, plants, countless, and there are many wild medicinal materials among them.
It stands to reason that such a place should be very popular, but there are no people here, there are two reasons: one is that this place is too remote and difficult for ordinary people to reach, and the other is that poisonous insects and beasts make up for it, to the extent that people like Kong Xuan and Jiang Xiaofeng practice martial arts, they have suffered a lot of injuries, and it took nearly two months to find their destination, not to mention that ordinary people come to send "dinner" to the beasts.
In fact, if it was just Kong Xuan who came here alone, it would not be so embarrassing even if it was dangerous, and it was strange that Jiang Xiaofeng's cultivation was too low, during which Kong Xuan had to spend energy to take care of Jiang Xiaofeng, and with this oil bottle, Kong Xuan also became a little constrained.
The predation of wild beasts and the sudden attack of poisonous insects made the two of them tired of coping, so that now their clothes are almost strips of cloth, Kong Xuan has no problem, but Jiang Xiaofeng is not very good, ** leakage, although Kong Xuan did not have any bad behavior, but Jiang Xiaofeng still blushed.
"Is it really here? It's just an altar, although it looks quite quaint, maybe some secrets, but it can't explain anything!" Kong Xuan had to say helplessly after careful observation.
"It won't be wrong, it's here, I've been investigating for so long, and the inheritance information that our Jiang family got also records this place" Jiang Xiaofeng said with an extremely unwilling expression, she didn't know how much time she had prepared for this day, and how much heart she had paid, so naturally she wouldn't just give up.
"Okay, let's take a closer look, maybe there will be any clues?" Kong Xuan saw Jiang Xiaofeng's serious look, and somehow he was also infected by his breath, and chose to believe him.
The two of them did not say a word, and then carefully observed around the altar, trying to find the mystery in it.
The sun is slanting to the west, the stars are flashing in the sky, a crescent moon hangs above the sky, and the power of the moon is sprinkled on the earth, and the cool and comfortable feeling makes Kong Xuan feel comfortable.
"Wait, get out of the way!" "Wait, get out of the way!" At the moment when the power of the moon was sprinkled on the altar, suddenly, the altar changed, and a faint silver light lit up from the altar.
"Boom!~~"
At the moment when Kong Xuan pulled Jiang Xiaofeng back quickly, the altar frantically absorbed the power of the moonlight, and for a moment, the ground shook, the birds boiled, and the beasts roared.
Heaven and earth seemed to lose their original color in an instant, full of the breath of destruction, the altar shook, and the patterns on it, under the filling of the power of the moon, the patterns changed, transforming into runes that looked like tadpoles, and kept crawling.
Not only the power of the moon, but also several forces under the earth were absorbed, and they were frantically pulled into the altar.
Colorful light shot out from the gaps between the patterns of the altar, and the earth cracked, countless huge cracks formed, and a bottomless pit appeared in front of him.
"Roar!~~~"
Suddenly, a vast lion's roar came from the ground, the roar shook the sky, the breath of destruction permeated every inch of space, the mountains collapsed, the giant stone turned into dust, and the originally vibrant world realm immediately turned into a purgatory.
The immense pressure of the sea descended, making all the beasts crawl for it, and the earth was silent, but this force was bound in this small space and did not overflow.
It was at this moment that Kong Xuan and Jiang Xiaofeng were shocked to death by this roar in an instant, their bodies cracked, blood spurted wildly, and the immortal lock and mysterious ancient map that had been kept in Kong Xuan's arms were all soaked in Kong Xuan's blood at this moment, and the streamer was a little bit.
Perhaps it was Kong Xuan's blood that played a role, a lock and a picture flashed with divine brilliance, as if it contained the charm of the Great Dao, the Dao rhyme flowed, and two soft breaths stretched out, protecting Kong Xuan and Jiang Xiaofeng, who were already unconscious.
These two breaths don't seem to be powerful, but they are as tough as kraft candy, no matter how strong the breath outside is, it can't hurt the two of them in the slightest, but the two of them didn't wake up in a coma.
The altar rises into the air, thousands of Ruicai, and many Ruilian bloom in the air, the rainbow is endless, and it looks peaceful and quiet.
Then, a ferocious and domineering breath, as if the aura of slaughtering all souls crashed out from below, and the entire space was filled with a violent aura.
The auspicious qi and the violent qi were constantly entangled in the air, and every corner and every inch of space was filled with the aura of destroying everything, and the surrounding heaven and earth essence and the endless power of the stars were swallowed up in the blink of an eye.
In all corners of the air, endless runes flashed, as if imprinted in the void, eternal and immortal, these runes quickly flickered, with mysterious power, and the endless essence was quickly drawn in, and then it was injected into the altar.
The monstrous killing aura surged, and then a scorpion-tailed monster broke free from the ground and crashed out, the breath of this beast was mysterious and ancient, every inch of flesh and blood flowed with monstrous brute force, and a majestic qi and blood shook the heavens and the earth.
"Whoa!~~"
It has four shackles on its body, wrapped around its limbs, rattling and heavy, made of a special material,
"Click!~~"
The moment this beast appeared, the space seemed to be unbearable, and it made a cracking sound, and the vicissitudes of life, ancient, as if it had existed for thousands of years, but the violent aura was not reduced at all, just like ignoring the lives of thousands of living beings, even if they were killed, they would not blink their brows.
The only thing that is puzzling is this monster, one-third of the whole body is petrified, including one eye and two front paws, as well as the scorpion-like tail, and there is a gray aura on this beast's body, as if the longevity is approaching, the life essence is about to be exhausted, and the traces of time permeate every inch of the body.
This is the beast - the manticore!
"I use secret methods to extend my life, Shouyuan is still about to run out, the essence of life is exhausted, and I live up to the courage of the past, but I don't want to die yet, I want to borrow the qi of all living beings, condense the true blood, and prolong my Shouyuan" The scorpion-tailed lion's skull is emitting a rushing light, penetrating the heavens, and the scene of life and death disillusionment appears in his eyes, and the indifferent voice makes the earth almost collapse.
At this moment, the ghost cried and howled, the heavens and the earth trembled, the blood-colored raindrops fell, and in the blood rain, there were crystal petals flying, which was extremely weird.
