Chapter 64: Return to the Underground Palace

"Roar—"

"Roar-roar-roar-"

......

Another wave of beasts struck, and Allah ordered once again to reunite the scattered team...... Ah Tu and Feng Bo gathered, Ah Sang and Changsheng took cover, and the rest of the clan treated the wounded.

The herd was forced by the hunters to stop the outside of the trap, but in the face of the fierce beasts like a tide, how long could they hold on?

The ferocity of the beasts is far beyond the imagination of all people! They have no reason, no emotion, no mercy, only the most instinctive tearing! This is the supreme rule of nature...... Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

As the beasts attacked regardless of life and death, the surrounding cover and traps were finally leveled, and the whole scene gradually became chaotic!

The scope of activities of the tomb guards is getting smaller and smaller, and if it continues like this, the consequences will be unimaginable!

At this moment, the Mulberry Tooth Patriarch's mind condensed, and he infiltrated the beast flute with a huge spiritual power, emitting bursts of sharp sound waves, which greatly weakened the strength of the beast herd.

On the other side, Yue Fan and Chenxiang are not idle, a handful of "fish intestines" and a handful of "Chengying" are invincible, which can be described as blood-stained without a trace!

In just a few days of getting along, the simplicity and strength of the Shouling family have deeply moved Yue Fan and the others. At this moment, they naturally can't sit idly by.

......

The battle continues.

It's just that due to the participation of Yue Fan and other masters, the balance of victory has already tilted in favor of the Shouling clan, especially Xiaohuo's crazy killing, which has extinguished the arrogance of the beast herd!

After a few moments, the menacing battle between man and beast ended...... Hundreds of water chestnut beasts did not survive, and the tomb guards also paid the price of dozens of heavy injuries. The only thing to be thankful for is that no one died.

Blood mixed with the dirt and gave off a pungent and unpleasant smell!

Looking at the mutilated corpses, the warriors of the tomb guarding clan did not have the slightest joy of victory. They didn't dare to imagine the danger just now, if it weren't for the help of Yue Fan and the others, maybe among the corpses that fell in the dirt today, there would be one of them.

"Whew-"

Not far away, Xiaohuo stood on the pile of beasts' corpses, letting out an excited roar, as if showing off the fruits of his victory. It was covered in blood, and its crimson fur had a terrifying aura!

The Shouling people looked at the red figure, and their eyes were full of incredulity. None of them thought that the seemingly harmless little beast that had been following them and others would have such a hideous side.

Looking at Xiaohuo again, people's eyes were filled with awe and gratitude, but no one had the idea of approaching again, it was an absolutely dangerous existence!

As if sensing everyone's gaze, Xiaohuo proudly scratched his claws. It does not understand the complex emotions of human beings, it simply believes that to live is to cheer, and to live is to win.

......

After everyone regained their minds, Allah hurriedly led two teams of hunters to clean up the battlefield.

Peeling, cutting meat, salting, loading and sealing......

Watching a group of people deal with their prey, Yue Fan's heart rippled slightly. He misses the time when he hunted with his father, it was an unforgettable time, jerky with fond memories.

Thinking in his heart, Yue Fan unconsciously joined in it, completely ignoring the surprised eyes of others.

......

――――――――――――

It was another rugged forest road, and the further you went, the denser the fog became, and within ten zhang, the naked eye could not see the surrounding environment clearly.

Under the leadership of Yue Fan, everyone went all the way, except for the fog, they didn't find anything wrong.

"Trap...... Yes, it's a trap, everyone be careful!"

A sense of danger touched his body, and Allah immediately sounded the alarm.

The tomb guards were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly prepared......

"It's here!"

Yue Fan stopped, turned to the Sang Ya Patriarch and said, "Don't be nervous, this is the periphery of the formation, there is no danger." ”

"This is it?"

The Mulberry Tooth Patriarch looked around, but he didn't notice anything.

Yue Fan nodded and said, "This is the 'Seven Star Transformation Array', covering an area of about hundreds of zhang, although it is a little smaller, it should be no problem to live temporarily." ”

"A little smaller?!"

Everyone was stunned, the formation with a range of hundreds of zhang is still called small, so what kind of formation is considered big?

Allah and Atu looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly. I think that day, several people were ordered to explore the way here, but in the end they found nothing, it turned out to be such a big formation!

The Sang Ya Patriarch smiled and said nothing, in fact, he knew that Yue Fan was not modest, such a formation was indeed not big. At least the formations of the Imperial Tomb Underground Palace and the Phantom Bolin are not comparable to ordinary strange formations, not to mention, those large formations that can contain heaven and earth in ancient legends.

"It's a pity that Phantom Bolin is a place of cultivation, and it is not suitable for ordinary people to live, otherwise it would not have taken such a big effort. ”

Thinking of this, the Mulberry Patriarch secretly sighed: "It's the little brother who can lay down such a big formation with the strength of one person, it's really incomprehensible! No wonder the Sage will let everyone come over, with the protection of this formation, there must be no problem with safety." ”

"Come with me, everyone!"

Yue Fan explained a little and walked side by side with Chenxiang.

"Until the clan land is rebuilt, this will be a temporary home!"

The Sangya patriarch sighed heavily, and then led the Shouling clan into the "fog forest".

......

――――――――――――

The sky gradually darkened, and a faint light appeared in the "fog forest", which looked ethereal from a distance.

On the snow peak, Ming You stood quietly, without much expression on his face. Out of trust in Yue Fan, he was not worried about the safety of his clansmen, but he couldn't rest assured about the seal.

I don't know if it's a delusion, Ming You has never been able to grasp the future, even if he has the power of the inheritance of the Shouling clan, this feeling makes him very uncomfortable.

Behind Ming's right, the twelve gods will each sit cross-legged, their expressions are very difficult, as if they are suffering a lot.

The reason why "forbidden arts" are forbidden is obviously not something that ordinary people can bear, and the pain in it can only be experienced by the person concerned.

Ming You's action in this way is also a last resort. If there is time, if there is another way, how can he bear to do this? It's a pity that the time is not for people!

After tomorrow, it's all about to begin.

......

――――――――――――

There was no wind in the early morning, and white fog enveloped the entire island.

Under the snow-capped mountains, the blue water lake...... Yue Fan, Chenxiang, Ming You, Sangya Patriarch, and the Twelve Gods will gather here.

Two days have passed in a blink of an eye, and today is the key.

This is the holy lake in the mouth of the Shouling clan, and the passage of the underground palace collapsed on that day, and the Sangya patriarch came out of here.

"Big brother, have you really decided to go down with us?"

On the side, Ming looked at Yue Fan with a hesitant expression, and the latter said indifferently: "Chenxiang and I want to go and have a look, and we also have a look for each other." ”

"Big brother doesn't worry about me!"

Ming Yu smiled bitterly, but he felt warm in his heart, and then collected his thoughts and said, "Patriarch, let's start." ”

"Good!"

The patriarch of Sangya didn't say much, and directly took out an object from his arms, like a stone instead of a stone, like a pearl but not a pearl, and then threw it into the lake......

"Gollum—"

After a while, there were waves on the surface of the water, and a behemoth rose from the water, it was the ancient beast - the snake!

......

――――――――――――

Chapter 65: Twelve Forbidden Techniques

With the behemoth of turning into a snake to open the way, the Sangya patriarch and his party easily crossed the barrier of the lake and came to the entrance of another underground palace. Then, the snake left alone.

In front of it was a dark and narrow passage, with no light refraction or breath flow, only darkness and dampness, as if no one had walked in thousands of years.

At the end of the passage, a huge stone monument was erected, which was quaint and decaying, and it was not known how much time had been eroded.

......

"Hum—"

The mechanism was triggered, and the stele sank into the ground, and the scene of the imperial tomb was presented in front of everyone.

Returning here again, Yue Fan and Chenxiang couldn't help but sigh! The tens of thousands of terracotta warriors that were once luxurious and grand had long since turned into dust and desolation, and the scene of the wolf in front of them seemed to remind people of what had happened to this imperial mausoleum buried deep underground?

Thinking of this, everyone sighed again.

The underground palace is worthy of being the imperial tomb carefully cast in bronze by the "Tianji Gate", and even the violent shaking of the ground cannot bury it. It's just that at this time, the palace was filled with a white evil aura, and a master like Chenxiang also felt a chill!

"It's so cold!"

Yue Fan and the others looked awe-inspiring, but the Sangya Patriarch had already prepared. I saw that his mental power was released, forming a transparent protective shield to block the cold from the outside.

The cold dissipated, and everyone's mood gradually calmed down.

At this time, Ming You's eyes looked around and said, "Patriarch, is this the place of sealing?"

In the center of the palace, the original coiling dragon pillar has long been turned into powder, and the exposed crystal coffin is even more abrupt, and it has already been seen to the right.

Patriarch Sangya nodded and said, "Originally, this place was originally intended to be the resting place of Emperor Qin's heroic spirits, but in order to suppress the overflow of evil qi, Tianjimen specially found "Ten Thousand Years of Ice Crystals" from the deep sea to make this pair of Qiqiao coffins, and placed Emperor Qin's body separately. ”

After a pause, the old man said: "It's a pity that with the passage of time, the effect of this coffin has begun to weaken, and every once in a while there will be a cold eruption, which has greatly changed the environment on the island, and even made our tomb guards face a desperate situation. Later, in order to continue the bloodline of our clan, the ancestors of the past dynasties sacrificed their lives and used the power of ancient treasures to suppress the seal...... Now, it should have been my turn to dedicate myself to this old bone, but the hateful treasure was robbed, and seeing that the tomb guards were about to be extinct in this land, I was powerless!"

Speaking of this, the Sangya patriarch choked up a little! The vicissitudes of life on his face seemed to tell the despair of the past.

The Twelve Gods were similarly gloomy, but they didn't show any signs of despair. The death of the clansmen is sad, but for them, living is also a responsibility, heavy and firm!

The old man's voice hovered in his ears, and a ripple rippled in Mingyou's heart, which could not be calmed down for a long time. Although Ming You knew that he had no blood relationship with the Shouling clan, he still couldn't keep himself out of the matter. After all, he bears the hopes and beliefs of his people.

"Don't worry, we will succeed, we will succeed. ”

Ming You's words were sonorous and powerful, making people completely ignore his age and give birth to an inexplicable trust.

Looking at the small figure in front of him, Yue Fan nodded secretly, very pleased. Sometimes, it takes competence, but also courage and determination. He believes that Ming You has done it, and it has done it very well.

......

Collecting his mood, the Sang Ya Patriarch continued: "Sage, the Nine Shadows Seal is just under the Qiqiao coffin, and the coffin needs to be removed before the forbidden technique can be cast. It's just that when this black coffin moves, a chill will erupt, and we have to be careful. ”

Ming You said clearly: "The outbreak of cold is not trivial, you and I have to work together to lift the coffin within a safe range." Then, Ming turned to the twelve gods to give an explanation.

Yue Fan and Chenxiang stood quietly beside them, and had no intention of interfering. In fact, at this critical juncture, the two really don't know how to intervene. They believe that Ming Right will take care of everything here.

......

"Time is running out, so let's get started!"

The Mulberry Tooth Patriarch first urged the telekinesis to cover the entire coffin......

Immediately, Ming You raised the bone battle in his hand, and a soft light stretched, slowly holding up the coffin.

Such a seemingly simple process actually took a lot of effort from the two of them. How could it be a simple thought to control something of essence with the power of nothingness? What's more, this seven-clever coffin was used to suppress the seal.

"Boom-"

As soon as the Qiqiao coffin was raised a few feet, a cold breath suddenly erupted from below, spreading rapidly in all directions.

Before everyone could react, there was a violent pulsation on the ground, and for a moment, the whole palace was in chaos, and if it weren't for the bronze walls around it, I am afraid that everyone would have been buried alive here.

"The Heavenly Stems and the Earthly Branch, the Twelve Forbidden Techniques Begin!"

The twelve gods will comprehend each other, each standing in a delicate balance.

Everything was ready, Ming You divided his mind and threw the "Tai'a" ancient sword that had been prepared long ago into the seal......

The "Tai'a" ancient sword is also an ancient killing divine weapon, and it is not inferior to the "Ten Thousand Slashes". With this as an eye, it will definitely be able to make up for the lack of sealing power. At the beginning, Ming You valued this point and was so confident in repairing the seal.

......

"Zheng-"

As soon as the ancient sword came out, the cold snap suddenly subsided.

Seeing this, the gods hurriedly ran the forbidden spell and poured their vitality into the ancient sword.

There are ten changes in the heavenly stem: A, B, C, D, E, G, G, XIN, NON, and DEC.

The twelve bases of the earthly branches: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai.

"The Great Array of the Twelve Trunk Branches" is based on the ten changes of the heavenly stem and the twelve seasons of the earthly branch, integrating yin and yang, and all-encompassing.

It is precisely because the power of the "Twelve Trunk Branches Great Array" is so great that the caster needs to pay the price of vitality to activate the power of the formation...... The Twelve Forbidden Techniques were born for this purpose.

The dust fragrance was in his eyes, and he felt it in his heart. I have to say that the ancestors of the tomb guarding clan are indeed wise, perhaps, they have long expected such a day, so they will create such a set of combination methods against the sky!

......

"Buzz!"

Feeling the vigorous vitality, the ancient sword of "Taia" emitted a dull light, radiating the entire palace!

sacred, majestic, immense, and heavy......

This is the power of life, this is the power of faith, this is the power of indestructible!

The cold surged, as if it were alive, struggling and retreating under the shroud of light...... Finally, he succumbed to the seal.

"It's almost a success!"

Everything went smoothly as deduced.

The leader of the Sangya team is happy, and the twelve gods will be happy, although they are exhausted, but it does not affect their excitement in the slightest! Years of hope, years of pain, years of perseverance...... Today, right now, it's all coming to an end.

This time, even if they died, they were willing.

"It's just one last step away. ”

Ming Right pressed to resist the excitement in his heart, bit his fingers, and sent a pulse of blood into the coffin in the sky......

Restarting the seal is the last and most important step, as long as the ancient seal is repaired, the Tomb Keeper will be able to live a peaceful life.

However, just as everyone was concentrating on their strength, a black shadow appeared strangely above the coffin.

......

――――――――――――

The black shadow suddenly appeared, and suddenly changed and protruded!

A powerful momentum swept through the entire hall, almost causing Sangya and the others to lose their minds.

"Poof—"

There was a faint thud, as if something was disconnecting.

Ming You and the Mulberry Patriarch's faces changed greatly, because they were shocked to find that the spiritual power they were pulling the coffin was actually cut off, and there was no longer any connection between the two.

"Who!?"

"Who dares to trespass on our forbidden land?!"

Seeing that the success of their efforts was imminent, they did not expect this unprovoked variable, but they had no time to clone now, so they had to shout angrily!

The tired face of the Mulberry Patriarch was also mixed with anger, while Yue Fan and Chenxiang had a solemn face, only Mingyou's expression remained unchanged, and his calm eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

"Bang!"

While everyone was stunned, the black shadow pushed the coffin without warning, and came straight to the right side of the light......

"Not good!"

"Sage beware—"

The crisis came so suddenly, it was too late for Sang Ya and the others to wake up suddenly, and they could only watch the coffin smash towards Ming You!

In the eyes of everyone, Ming You is just a half-grown child, although he has been inherited by the ancestors and has become a great existence of the Shouling clan, but his body is still weak and his strength is always limited. If you really get hit by a coffin, how can you die?

At the moment of life and death, there is no room for hesitation!

Ming You's eyes opened violently, and all his spiritual power burst out, forming an invisible barrier.

"Zizi-"

The coffin was blocked, only at a slower pace, but the crisis was not over.

The black shadow pushed the coffin to attack again, and the spiritual barrier collapsed in an instant!

At this critical moment, Yue Fan appeared in front of Ming You. The strong back blocked the view behind and the danger ahead.

"Peng—"

With a straight punch, the two collided, making a muffled sound.

Yue Fan took half a step back, his arms were numb, and the coffin struck the ground, stirring up dust!

Pure power is often more powerful than momentum.

Sang Ya and the others were slightly stunned, and then looked at Ming You...... Seeing that the latter was fine, they breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and their gratitude to Yue Fan in their hearts was even greater than before.

Compared with Sangya and others, Ming You is much calmer. At least his face didn't show any hint of panic, as if the life and death just now had nothing to do with him.

"Are you alright?"

Chenxiang came to Yue Fan's side, and her words unconsciously revealed concern.

Yue Fan shook his head lightly, indicating that he was fine. It's just that looking at the black shadow floating in the sky, Yue Fan's eyebrows became even heavier, and countless thoughts turned in his mind.

Who is the other side? upstairs, upstairs, or from the Demon Gate, or is it some other force?

If it was any other force, what was the purpose of his coming here? After all, how could he be a good person to appear here at this special time?

......

"Quack—"

A cold laugh stung his ears, mixed with blood and horror!

Everyone gathered their eyes, and saw the outline of the black shadow in the sky gradually becoming clear...... However, when they saw the true face of the black shadow, everyone was stunned! Immediately after, a strong feeling of nausea permeated the whole body.

It was a hunchbacked monster with an ugly face, with half-falling hair, bulging eyes, crushed lips and teeth, and hairy ears and a hooked nose...... Under the black robe, a bone-like body was covered with maggots......

Disgusting, horrified, terrifying!

A chill poured down the backs of Yue Fan and the others, they had never seen such a disgusting person, not so much a "person" as a decomposing corpse...... That's right, it's like a corpse that has just crawled out of a grave.

"Is this still human?"

Chenxiang and Mingyou felt a convulsion in their abdomen, and the Sangya Patriarch and the Ranwu and the others may not be afraid of life and death, but in the face of the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Among the people present, only Yue Fan was normal. After sleeping on the mountain of corpses and drinking the sea of blood, he will naturally not be frightened by the appearance of the other party.

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

Yue Fan stared at each other coldly, and the strong killing intent swept away.

"Whew!"

The two momentum collided, and no one could suppress the other.

The dry bone man was slightly moved, and then smiled strangely: "You can be on par with the old man's momentum, your little doll is really good." Quack-"

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

Listening to the other party's praise, Yue Fan was unmoved, and his keen perception had already made him aware of the crisis.

The dry bone man said gloomily: "Old man, you are both a human and a ghost. ”

"Humph!"

The patriarch of Sangya endured the cold and said coldly: "Your Excellency, don't pretend to be a ghost here, if you don't leave, the old man will have to do it." ”

"Do it?" the Dry Bone Man said disdainfully, "You guys aren't qualified to do anything with me yet." ”

"Presumptuous!"

The Sang Ya patriarch was about to make a move, but Ming You stopped him, his eyes full of vigilance.

"The inheritor of the Tomb Keeper Clan...... Good!good!very good!"

The dry bone man looked at Ming You and said with a calm face: "Little guy, do you know who I am? Those damn old guys won't fail to tell you about me, right?"

"You?"

Ming You said calmly: "I don't want to know who you are, I just know that you shouldn't exist in this world in the first place...... Because, you are not human. ”

"Not human?"

Hearing Ming You's words, Sang Ya and the others were a little dazed, and even Yue Fan and Chenxiang were puzzled. They know that Ming Right is not a person who has no arrow, is it true that the other party is not a person?

"Little one, survival of the fittest, natural selection...... When I exist, I prove that I am right, and there is nothing that should or should not be. On the contrary, those old hometown fires have now become a loess ...... Do you think what the old man said is true or not?"

In the face of Ming You's questioning, the dry bone man was very calm, although his appearance and the word "calm" are difficult to coincide, but he did restrain his arrogant momentum.

Ming You didn't refute, and asked rhetorically, "You're here for this Nine Shadows Seal, right? ”

"The little guy is right, the old man has been forbearant for so many years, just for today's ......" The dry bone man paused: "However, how do you know that the old man will come?"

Ming You said in a deep voice: "I have been feeling uneasy for the past two days, at first I thought that the people of the Demon Gate had another conspiracy, but when those people left, the uneasy emotions not only did not decrease, but became more and more intense. At that time, I wondered if there was another pair of eyes peeking out of the shadows on this island. I didn't know you would show up, but it wouldn't surprise me either. The only thing that makes me curious is, how did you get to where you are now?"

"Quack—"

The Dry Bone Man sneered, "You little guy is really impressive...... No, it's supposed to be the legacy of those old guys, which surprised me!"

"The rumors of the treasure, you spread them?"

Ming You asked, but the dry bone man happily admitted: "Since you have already guessed, there is no need for the old man to deny it, the old man planned a small step at the beginning." ”

"The secret passage of the dungeon was also told to the Demon Gate?"

"Naturally. ”

"How do you know the secrets of the dungeon?"

"When the old guy from Tianjimen built this place, the old man was in the dark. ”

"Why are you breaking the seal, and what's in it for you?"

"Hmph! There are some things that you won't understand. ”

......

The conversation between the two gave Yue Fan and the others the illusion that they were outside.

At least so far, they don't know who it is.

......
