Chapter 8: The Ancient Temple

Beneath the cliffs, gloomy and oppressive, a river runs through the canyon. No one knows where the river came from or where it is going. And the most special thing about this river is that it flows from the bottom to the top.

The river was long, but there was no life in it, and not even the river made a sound when it flowed.

Up the river, at the edge of the river, a man lay quietly, half in the water, covered in shocking wounds, and beside him was a blue halberd.

Chen Xiao didn't know how long he had been unconscious, his blood had already coagulated, leaving shallow traces under the rocks by the river.

Finally, his fingers shuddered, and then his brow furrowed, and he slowly opened his eyes and looked around, but it was so dim that there was almost no light coming in.

He looked at the light above the canyon, and he knew that it was daylight, but the darkness below the canyon had not changed.

He picked up the Sky Wolf Ancient Halberd and looked at the cave in front of him, this cave is the source of this river, and there are many bone shelves around this cave, there are demon wolves and demon tigers.

There are so many monsters, they all die here. I don't know if it's a thousand years or ten thousand years, but they are only a skeleton left.

Chen Xiao had a bad premonition, it seemed that there was something in the cave that he couldn't afford to provoke. But now there is no way back, if he doesn't enter here, then even if he stays here for a long time, he will not be able to find an exit. Besides, now he is just an ordinary person, and if there is no food and water supply, it won't be long before he dies here.

Driven by such thoughts, Chen Xiao also fought against the water, unloaded the Heavenly Wolf Ancient Halberd from his body, held it in his hand, and walked inside step by step.

The road ahead was dark, and he could only slowly see the road ahead with the faint blue light on the Heavenly Wolf Ancient Halberd.

"What the hell is this place?"

Chen Xiao muttered in a low voice, but there was no one around who could answer him, after all, he might be the only living creature here.

He continued to walk, groping in the darkness, surrounded by countless dry bones, which were particularly eerie.

Call~

An unusual sound suddenly sounded in the depths of the cavern, most prominent in the silence.

"Who! who's there. ”

Chen Xiao immediately became nervous and held the ancient halberd in his hand tightly.

But no one responded, and it seemed to disappear after that long cry.

Chen Xiao naturally didn't believe that the other party had disappeared like this, he walked towards the depths of the cave step by step, and every step was very careful.

After walking for more than ten minutes, I finally saw a huge palace, but at this moment it was a little depressed.

The cyan palace is full of landslides, and the palace in front of it is already ruined, although it looks very desolate, but you can still see the scene of the prosperous year.

"Ancient Temple. ”

Looking at the three gilded characters on the door of the palace, Chen Xiao involuntarily read them out.

Call~

Just as Chen Xiao was observing the huge cyan palace, the exhalation voice just now sounded again. Apparently, the sound came from inside the palace.

"I don't know who the seniors are, please come out and see them!"

Chen Xiao hugged his fist at the palace, very respectful.

Of course, no one answered him.

Huge palaces rise from the ground, giving people a sense of majesty and oppression, although thousands of years have passed, but the momentum is still not reduced by half.

This momentum made Chen Xiao hesitate, not knowing whether to go in or not.

At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded.

"Come in, young man. ”

Chen Xiao was startled and hurriedly looked around, but there was no one around.

He gathered his mind, looked at the huge cyan palace, took a deep breath, and strode inside.

Entering the palace, Chen Xiao found that broken floors could be seen everywhere, and countless cracks spread to all sides. This is not due to the age, it is obvious that it took an extremely tragic battle to cause such a broken scene.

"Could this be caused by those demon beasts in the Wolf King Mountain Range?"

Looking at the ruins all over the ground, Chen Xiao couldn't help but be frightened and muttered secretly.

"They're just a swarm of ants, not worthy!"

Just as Chen Xiao was observing these broken buildings, the old voice just now sounded again.

Chen Xiao immediately cheered up, and when he looked again, he saw an old man with gray hair standing more than ten meters away from him.

Chen Xiao immediately bowed respectfully to the old man, "Junior, Chen Xiao has seen seniors. ”

The old man stroked his beard, nodded, and said, "No one has been here for thousands of years, and I thought that no one would ever come here again." ”

The old man said a little lonely, after all, thousands of years of loneliness, whether it is a human or a demon beast, it will be an extremely sad wait.

The old man was slightly surprised when he saw the ancient halberd in his hand, and asked, "You have the Heavenly Wolf Ancient Halberd in your hand?"

Chen Xiao looked at the ancient halberd in his hand and nodded a little embarrassedly, "It's just that the younger generation got it by luck, and it is precisely because of this ancient halberd that it will eventually fall to this point." ”

The old man nodded, not knowing whether it was positive or negative, but just sighed, "If it weren't for this ancient halberd back then, the entire Wolf King Mountain Range would have been destroyed in one fell swoop, and it would have been a big fate after all." ”

Chen Xiao didn't understand a little, but he didn't dare to say more, but the doubt in his eyes was more and more revealed.

"It's strange why I say that. The old man smiled lightly, and the next moment he appeared on Chen Xiao's side, his speed was shockingly fast, but the old man didn't care at all, and he remembered the past.

"Thousands of years ago, this is a peaceful continent, managed by the ancient temple, until one day the void cracked, a group of extremely powerful creatures descended on this sky, since then decades of fighting have devastated the entire continent, the ancient temple is also a heavy loss, and finally the ancient temple fish died and the net was broken, driving those uninvited guests out of here, but the ancient temple has also declined since then. I remember that in the last battle, the hall lord ordered me to leave here with a group of reserves from the ancient temple to preserve the foundation, but in the end I was ambushed halfway, and although I desperately broke through the siege, it was also a heavy loss. Later, he was lonely in this mountain range, a wolf demon cultivator beast king wanted to seize the secret treasure here, and there was a fierce conflict with us, that battle, the demon clan suffered heavy losses, and the user of the Heavenly Wolf Ancient Halberd was also seriously injured in the end. In order to continue the legacy of the ancient temple, we signed a truce that continues to this day. ”

The old man reminisced about the past, and as he spoke, tears couldn't help but flow out again, as if he was ten years old again.
