Chapter 96, Gumo Demon King
Chapter 96, Gumo Demon King
Opportunities are often in the blink of an eye, and Shi Yunyang felt that there were signs of loosening in this door. With a loud shout and a violent push, a gap wide for one person suddenly opened open. Shi Yunyang was overjoyed when he saw the door open. Suddenly, his whole body was caught in the crack, holding on to prevent the stone door from closing again, Shi Yunyang shouted at Ran Tianluo with all his might.
"Quick!
Hearing the sound, a feather tone struck, and a shrill voice echoed in the cave, knocking down several ironclad soldiers in front. After those iron armors fell, they were instantly overwhelmed. Ran Tianluo took the opportunity to flash into the door with a spirit transfer technique. Shi Yunyang was about to enter the door, when the huge ironclad soldier grabbed a collapsed ironclad soldier on the ground and slammed it into Shi Yunyang. At the same time, the ironclad soldiers on the ground who did not fall all raised their long knives above their heads and threw them out of their hands, and for a while, in the firelight, the sword light was chaotic, and only the whirring sound of the blade cutting through the air indicated the approaching danger.
Shi Yunyang kicked suddenly, and the door bounced back a little distance, and Shi Yunyang took advantage of this opportunity to turn his body and flash into the door. A knife followed, and after Shi Yunyang landed, it quickly slashed over his eyelids, and Shi Yunyang shouted in his heart that it was dangerous. I only heard a bang, and the stone door had already closed, and there were several long knives between the gaps in the stone door.
The two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief, but in an instant, they heard a loud crash from outside the stone gate. Shimen also trembled for a while.
Shi Yun raised his eyebrows and frowned, "This stone gate shouldn't last long. Let's hurry inside, it's too dangerous. ”
Ran Qianluo nodded, and the two turned around and walked inside. The space inside is also very huge, Shi Yunyang lit a flame and burned the cobwebs in the temple. The furnishings can be seen by the light of the fire, which is a large cavern with nine pillars supporting the dome above. The pillars are painted with many images of the Buddha. The cave is flanked by a long, narrow platform, and at the end of this chamber is a throne carved of jade. It looks very atmospheric. The furnishings in this hall were much more exquisite than what Shi Yunyang and the others had seen in that side hall not long ago.
The flames lit the torches and oil lamps of the four coats, and for a time they became very bright. The hall had just been burned by flames, leaving only a little ash on the ground. The whole hall looks dignified and calm, quite a king's style.
"Looks like this is our destination. Ran Tianluo said.
Shi Yunyang said: "It should be good, I think it is very likely that the sand blood is hidden somewhere here." ”
Ran Tianluo said: "Why don't we look for it separately, it's more efficient." ”
Shi Yunyang shook his head and said: "No, this palace is really a bit unusual, it is too dangerous to act separately, let's be together, and we can take care of each other." ”
Ran Tianluo smiled sweetly and said, "Okay." We're not short of time anyway. ”
The two of them walked slowly down the stairs at their feet towards the center of the temple. This Gumo Ancient King City has been sleeping underground for a hundred years. There was already a thick layer of ash on the ground, and the two of them stepped on it, and they both felt their bodies sink slightly. When I walked into the temple, I was already leaving a long trail of footprints behind me.
Ran Qianluo's eyes habitually looked around, but Shi Yunyang locked his gaze tightly on the throne.
"Look there. Shi Yunyang pointed to the throne, and Ran Qianluo looked at it, only to see a skeleton sitting on the throne. The skeleton also wears a crown on its head, but because of the lack of flesh, the crown appears larger. The silk robe on his body was rotten. The skeleton was holding its hands on one end of the throne, its body was erect, even if it was no longer flesh and blood, it could still feel the strong imperial aura emanating from the skeleton. Presumably, he must have been a mighty king during his lifetime.
"Strange!" said Ran Tianluo, staring at the skeleton on the throne.
Shi Yunyang was puzzled and asked, "What's strange?"
Ran Tianluo said: "Since this is the council hall, why is there only the skeleton of this king." What about the bones of other people? If these people have rotted into ashes. So why does the bones of this king still exist?"
Ran Tianluo said his thoughts in one breath, and Shi Yunyang also felt extremely reasonable when he heard it, but he couldn't say why for a while.
Ran Tianluo said: "I'm afraid that this Gumo Ancient King City sank into the ground because of an unknown past, or some shocking secret." The reason for the disappearance of this ancient city is probably not just as simple as the earth moving. ”
Shi Yunyang said: "You have a point, but the top priority is to find the sand blood and then find a way to get out of here." ”
Ran Tianluo nodded, she naturally knew, but she faintly felt a little panicked in her heart. This hall always makes her feel in danger.
"I have a bad premonition, Yunyang, be careful. ”
Shi Yunyang nodded and began to walk towards the skeleton, wanting to investigate. The skeleton's eyes suddenly flashed red. Shi Yunyang retreated in surprise. The skeleton suddenly rose from its throne.
"Who dares to trespass into my Gumo Palace, and say, are you a spy of Qiuzi!"
The two of them only heard a loud sound swinging through the hall, Shi Yunyang and Ran Tianluo looked at the source of this voice, it didn't seem like it came from the skeleton's mouth. In an instant, the two of them flipped out their weapons and stood sideways in front of them, staring at Skeletron's every move.
"How can this Gumo King speak the Central Plains?" Ran Tianluo said in a strange whisper.
Shi Yunyang also felt quite incomprehensible, it was not uncommon for countries and nationalities in the desert to speak Chinese, as early as the Han Dynasty, the Han family in the Central Plains had already made friends with the countries of the Western Regions. National integration is sufficient. Moreover, trade along the Silk Road has never been interrupted for hundreds of years, and Chinese is also the most widely spoken lingua franca. But every nation has its own mother tongue, which is brought with it by blood in the place of birth. In front of people you don't know, or in front of danger, you must speak your native language. Gumo is a relatively remote country, and the Three Kingdoms Wei and Jin dynasties were once dependent on Qiuzi, so the sinicization is relatively thorough, but it is definitely not as popular as the native language of Chinese.
Shi Yunyang said: "Be careful. The two attacked and defended each other back to back, guarding the small battle circle under their feet with a piano and a sword.
The Skeleton King, ripping off the crown on his head, glanced at it slightly, threw it aside, picked up a staff of power from the side of the throne, and walked slowly towards Shi Yunyang and the others. Along the way, you can hear the gurgling sound of the bones rubbing against each other, which is terrifying.
"This king asks you, from the Central Plains. The jaws of the white bones closed one by one, and a sound like a phantom sound came out of them.
"How do you know that we are from the Central Plains?" Shi Yunyang asked with a clenched grip on the Burning Sky.
The Skeletron looked up and laughed, "From the moment you entered this hall, the king knows everything you do. I didn't think you would be able to survive the attack of the Ironclad Corps. ”
Shi Yunyang said hatefully: "In this way, that stone demon and that pile of iron shells are all your ghosts!"
The red light in Skeletron's eyes lit up, and he said, "What's the matter, anyway, since you have entered this hall, you are already doomed to die." ”
As soon as the Skeletron finished speaking, the few remaining silks on his body had suddenly turned to ashes. Bursts of black gas suddenly emanated from Sen Ran's white bones. In a short time, it had turned into a black cloak and draped over the white bones. The black aura filled the village, as if it was about to swallow the light in this temple inch by inch.
The black gas was no longer strangers to the two, and when they saw this pervasive black gas, the two of them screamed and shouted almost at the same time.
"Demonic energy!"
The two of them have been in contact with the demonic qi many times, and every time the demonic qi appears, it will bring huge killings and deaths. Shi Yunyang and Ran Tianluo have also clashed with the demons many times, and almost every time they are seriously injured, their lives hanging by a thread. Seeing this demonic aura again, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little worried in their hearts. I don't know how strong this Skeleton King is compared to the previous demon generals.
"Gumo's demise is really not simple, it turns out that it was done by the demon clan. Ran said.
Shi Yunyang nodded, he didn't expect that Gumo's king turned out to be a monster. At that moment, he strode forward and shouted, "Which of the Venerable One's minions are you?"
The Skeletron had only a dry skeleton left in his body, and he was shrouded in a black cloak and demonic energy, so naturally he couldn't see his face, but he could still see his shock. The Skeleton King said, "How do you know about your Venerables?"
Shi Yunyang actually didn't know, but when he was in the Lost Valley, that demon general once said that he was a subordinate of Venerable Qiqi, and the man at the top of Kunlun made it clear that he was a subordinate of Venerable Zhu Yan. If you think that the various clans in the Demon Realm should be able to organize the Demon Race through these Venerables. Shi Yunyang made a bold guess, and he couldn't think of a guess.
Shi Yunyang said: "What we know about you is almost unimaginable. We are all aware of your demons' plans. ”
A flash of red light shot out from Skeletron's eyes, making people feel extremely chilled. The Skeleton King said in a dark voice: "If this is the case, then I will leave you alone, since you already know, I will let you die a happy death, I am the subordinate of the Venerable Corpse God, and today I want the two of you to die without a place to be buried!"
Shi Yunyang said: "Come on, just a minion shrimp soldier, see me beat you to pieces!"
When the Skeletron heard this, he sneered disdainfully.
"I don't think I can do it, I'm arrogant!"
Suddenly, the demonic qi around the demon general surged, and only a loud noise was heard, and the stone gate that Shi Yunyang had just entered suddenly opened. The ironclad soldiers outside the door poured in like a tide, and instantly surrounded Shi Yunyang and the others.
The sword light flickered, and the clanging sound between the clashes of iron armor was very harsh, like a horn of death, which was blowing.
