Chapter 466: The Road to Death
The period of 100 days is fleeting, and during this time, Xiao Gu has finally seen everything in the library and benefited a lot.
On this day, the old man came to look for it in person.
"Little friend doesn't know if it's ready," the old man chuckled.
"Of course, the kid is ready, please take the kid there, rest assured, the juniors will definitely break the great array and restore the peace of the soul realm with all their might," Xiao Gu said solemnly.
"Then the old man will be relieved," the old man sighed.
"By the way, senior, you haven't told me how to break that big array, and the junior doesn't know much about the formation, so what should I do," Xiao Gu frowned and looked at the old man, his face full of distress.
"Well, it's no wonder the old man didn't make it clear," the old man chuckled.
He pulled out a silver bead from his bosom, the size of a goose egg, which was quite miraculous.
"What is this," Xiao Gu said curiously, he sensed the breath of the real thing from the silver bead, it was obvious that this was not a thing from the soul world, but something from the outside world.
"Hehe, that's the case, the treasure that suppressed the big array and this silver bead are one and attract each other, as long as you take this silver bead into the center of the big array, the big array will be shattered, making the soul realm completely open," the old man said excitedly.
"Okay, senior, don't worry," Xiao Gu bowed with the silver beads.
"Okay, well, the old man didn't see the wrong person in the end," the old man was relieved.
......
The road to the end is also called the road of death, and no one has actually walked it for countless years, and everything here is constantly changing, not even by means of pathfinding.
Throughout the ages, I don't know how many ancient emperors and powerhouses have entered this place, but in the end, they all fell into the sand without news.
The Emperor can't enter this place, so the weakest cultivators who can enter here are all in the Quasi-Emperor realm, and the strongest is the Quasi-Emperor Invincible Supreme Realm.
Xiao Gu came here through a pitch-black spatial gate, and no one followed him during the period, because he was the only existence that opened the arena, and he had four demi-immortals and imprints on his body, so he could enter this place.
There is a dark fog that drifts around, thick in some places and faint in places, but there is no doubt that this is not a peaceful place.
The place where Xiao Gu is located is a platform, the whole is made of black stone, in front of it is a bottomless abyss, on both sides are cliffs that are high without top, deep without bottom, and the steep cliffs are 90 degrees, so it is not scary.
In other words, at this time, Xiao Gu was floating in mid-air, not up or down.
There are cliffs above, and there are cliffs below, and the danger is extreme!
He looked around and saw that there was only one path leading to the black round platform where he was, and that path was narrow and steep, making it extremely difficult to walk.
This kind of road reminds him of the Shu Dao in the human world, which is on par with here!
But even so, Xiao Gu didn't believe that it would be so simple here, although the road was difficult, it was easy for a cultivator like him to walk on the ground, and it could be regarded as the road of death.
He tried to take a step, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't dare to fly directly into the air, if it was so simple, then this place would have been attacked a long time ago.
Airplanes!
At the moment when he stepped out of the round platform and walked up the first step, an unimaginable suction force suddenly came from below the abyss, even with Xiao Gu's cultivation, it would take ninety percent of his strength to barely stabilize his body.
I see, Xiao Gu's cold sweat came out all of a sudden!
If it weren't for the fact that he was careful not to fly through the sky just now, then his current fate would definitely be shattered, and he didn't think that this abyss would be the ordinary abyss that would allow him to fly into the sky.
There is no turning back if you take one step, because the round platform is gone!
Woo, woo......
The terrifying suction under the abyss brought a trace of terrifying sound like a roaring ghost, Xiao Gu used the strength of more than nine layers around him to barely resist, and if he wanted to really move forward, he almost had to use all his strength.
Even a light jump is impossible!
At this moment, the seemingly ordinary path has almost become a road of life and death, and every step must be taken carefully, this path is really steep and miserable, it is difficult to walk at all, and ordinary people will probably be scared and faint at a glance.
Step by step, Xiao Gu cautiously moved forward.
Before every step, I tried and tried before I fell, and I didn't dare to be careless at all, and if I wasn't careful, there were no bones.
Crash!
A stone that Xiao Gu stepped on suddenly rolled down, and his whole body almost fell, but fortunately, one of his hands was lucky enough to catch a protruding rock at the last moment, otherwise, I am afraid that he would have fallen into the bottomless abyss like that stone now.
Whew, whew, whew......
At this moment, Xiao Gu really tasted the taste of fear, and this feeling had not been felt since he became a cultivator.
It was a feeling of sheer fear and vertigo, a heart beating faster, a body limp, like a mortal.
This is a feeling that a cultivator will never be able to experience, especially a cultivator like him!
Because when he encounters this situation, no matter how dangerous he is, he can't beat his heart faster, he will only be calmer and more sober.
The cliff is bottomless, the horror is boundless, and the howling wind is continuous.
Xiao Gu retracted his mind and moved forward again, this time he really pushed his mind to the extreme, and each step took a lot of time, but he had to do this, because a wrong step was an abyss.
It took Xiao Gu to advance less than twenty miles in three days, and this speed was outrageously slow.
Whoa!
Just as Xiao Gu was engrossed in preparing to take another step, the road in front of him suddenly collapsed, and a distance of more than ten meters was missing.
If it is ordinary, this is a blink of an eye away from Xiao Gu, but this is the moat!
But now is not the time to think about this, the road will not collapse inexplicably, there is something else that has caused this result, and the result is caused by an ant, a huge ant three feet in size.
Click, click......
The giant ants are extremely hideous, and the protruding claws are incomparably sharp and terrifying.
An ant that has reached the peak of the sainthood, this is a real mole ant, but at that time in the outside world, if it is here, it is a killer.
Xiao Gu cautiously retreated, not wanting to anger the ant, although he was not afraid, but he also did not want to fight with the ant senselessly, it was tantamount to wasting energy.
However, he wanted to leave, but the ants didn't want to let him go.
The three-zhang giant ant is condescending, and its sharp legs and feet can be easily inserted into the hard bluestone, as easy and simple as inserting it into tofu, without the slightest effort, as simple as instinct.
As a last resort, Xiao Gu could only make a move.
He stepped into a trembling form, and the terrifying force of his fist tore through the void.
Burst!
The whole body of the big ant exploded, and Xiao Gu was also pressed to the bottom of the abyss by the terrifying suction in the abyss, but at the same time, he firmly grasped the leg of an ant stuck in the cliff with one hand.
He used two ant legs to advance alternately, and although the distance of more than ten meters was difficult, he finally got through it.
Whew, whew, whew......
He gasped for air, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat, as if he had been fished out of water.
This is a test of life and death, and one wrong step is death, but in the end, he successfully passed this place with the help of the strength of the ant's legs, and was not pulled into the abyss by the terrible suction.
A small ant that entered the Holy Realm, according to his cultivation, he could easily erase thousands of them, but here, this ant forced him to death.
"Speaking of which, boy, why are you so useless, you can't beat such a weak thing," Cut, at this time, the sleeping old Wang Ba, who had devoured a treasure, suddenly woke up.
Xiao Gu didn't even have the strength to speak at this time, so he could only give Lao Wang Ba a big white eye.
"Hey, it's such a familiar place, it looks like I've seen it somewhere," Old Wang Ba was no longer bored with himself, he looked around carefully and then muttered to himself.
"What, Lao Wang Ba, you said you know here, quick, tell me if there is any way to get out of here," Xiao Gu was suddenly pleasantly surprised when he heard Lao Wang Ba's words.
"Hey, wait for your turtle grandfather to think about it, where is it, where is it?" said to himself.
"By the way, I remember," suddenly Lao Wang Ba shouted.
"I thought of it, great, hurry, tell me how to get out of here quickly," Xiao Gu grabbed Lao Wang Badao.
It's so weird and terrifying, it's the road, it's hell, and the rest is just that, the kind of mental torture is so desperate that the slightest slack is the bones.
Although Xiao Gu was not afraid, if there was really a way to leave, then he would not want to suffer this kind of sin.
"This, uh, this ......" Lao Wang was hesitant.
"What's this, say it quickly," Xiao Gu was anxious to throw him down from here.
"Oh, forget it, tell you kid, there is no shortcut here, the only way to leave is to walk straight over," Lao Wang Ba simply arrived.
"What?" Xiao Gu was completely speechless.
In desperation, Xiao Gu took Lao Wang Ba and started the difficult journey again.
But it's not without benefits, at least with Lao Wang Ba's presence, the kind of inexplicable stumbling or being attacked by big ants has decreased a lot, and his walking speed has also accelerated a lot invisibly.
After three months of sleeplessness, Xiao Gu and Lao Wang Ba finally saw the dawn, which was the end of this road.
The trail winds and spirals to the top of the mountain, and it can be said that victory is already in sight, but Xiao Gu and Lao Wang Ba did not have the slightest happy expression, but instead looked helpless.
The reason is the huge ant that sits on the top of the mountain, the real ant king!
This ant king has his head down and his tail up, and his whole body is two or three hundred zhang in size, and it is high on the top of the mountain, and it has the potential of a tiger standing on a dragon plate, Xiao Gu and Lao Wang Ba are stuck here and cannot pass at all.
The Ant King is also a fierce beast in the realm of the Ancient Emperor, comparable to the Five or Six Heavens of the Ancient Emperor, in this extreme case, he can't spare the strength to fight against the big ants at all.
I don't know if it's because the creatures here have adapted to the abyssal suction or because they were avoided when they were designed, anyway, these big guys don't seem to care about the abyssal suction at all, which makes Xiao Gu helpless.
"Old Wangba, it's time for you to show your skills, you can do it yourself, how to get over," Xiao Gu couldn't but turn to Lao Wangba for help.
Of course, it is not accurate to say that it is not accurate to ask for help, in fact, Xiao Gu threatened Lao Wang Ba to throw it down from here if he didn't help, and succumbed to Xiao Gu's obscenity, but Lao Wang Ba still agreed.
"Hurry up, I don't want to stay here for a second anyway," Xiao Gu urged.
"Rub, boy, you Grandpa Turtle and I have lost a lot, if you don't have enough compensation, you will never be able to invite your Grandpa Turtle to do it again, believe me," Old Wang Ba muttered as he took out a bottle of pitch-black liquid from his large collection.
"What is this, sensing the rich aura emanating from the liquid," Xiao Gu frowned.
This aura is weird, it seems to be some kind of female creature... Well...... Urine, maybe.
Old Wang Ba didn't answer him, but just took out a drop of pitch-black liquid from the bottle and threw it down the abyss.
The next moment, in Xiao Gu's stunned gaze, the huge ant was as vigorous as a leopard rushing straight to the bottom of the abyss, and the speed was beyond imagination.
"This, this won't be that ......"
"That's right, this is what your turtle grandfather finally got his hands on, the essence of the black dragon's estrus," Lao Wang Ba said triumphantly.
Well, Xiao Gu is completely speechless, this guy is really undisciplined!
That's right, dragons are inextricably, otherwise there wouldn't be so many wurm races, and among the many dragon races, the black dragon race is undoubtedly the best of them, and the black dragon in heat has a fatal attraction for any creature.
It's just that it's definitely not a simple matter to get the black dragon, as for what to do, okay, Xiao Gu is not ready to think about it.
Easily solving the ant king, Xiao Gu and Lao Wang Ba rushed to the top of the mountain at the fastest speed.
It took three months to finally finish here, this is definitely an ordeal or test, the oppression of the spiritual will has reached the limit, so after making sure that there is no danger, the first thing Xiao Gu did was to sleep!
That's right, it's sleep!
Although with his current cultivation, sleeping is completely unnecessary, but after all, sleeping is the best way to restore his spirit.
No matter what time it is, even the effects of many miracle medicines can't be compared, there is no doubt about it.
So after overconsumption, Xiao Gu had to fall into a deep sleep to recover himself, otherwise, in the face of the next unknown, even if there was Lao Wang Ba, he was not completely sure.
According to Lao Wang Ba, this is an extremely ancient and terrifying formation, not a formation, but a formation!
This kind of formation is composed of things sealed in the realm of the real world, constantly changing, there is no definite way out at all, and the only way to get out of it is to go through a fixed path.
And the only thing Lao Wang Ba can do now is to help Xiao Gu reduce the danger according to different roads, that's all!
When Xiao Gu woke up, it was already three days later, and this mountain top was safe, at least until the terrifying ant king returned, and it was really unknown whether the ant king would come back.
However, when he saw everything in front of him, he was stunned, not because of anything else, but because of the huge contrast!
What did he see? a great river, yes, a raging river!
From the top of the mountain, the river is almost flush with the top of the mountain, and the waves that are tens of meters high rise and then fall heavily with a loud rumbling sound.
But probably because of some special force, there was not the slightest sound on the top of the mountain.
This huge contrast is enough to make people vomit blood!
"Old Wang Ba, here, what kind of place is this," Xiao Gu was amazed.
"This is Wudinghe, it's up to you," Lao Wang Ba pulled his collection a few times and said helplessly.
"Wuding River, what is Wuding River?" He still doesn't know enough about the things of the mythological era.
"The Wuding River, the so-called Wuding River has no origin and no end, wandering at will," Lao Wang Ba explained in the simplest way possible.
"Then you mean, I want to depend on luck, Wudinghe will take me wherever it is," Xiao Gu hated so much that he really wanted to strangle this guy to death.
"Of course...... No," said the old man.
"You mean there's a way?" Xiao Gu was overjoyed, no matter who faced such a strange thing, I am afraid that they would not be willing to leave their fate to the luck of the underworld.
"Of course, I don't want to think about who your turtle grandfather is, the supreme existence of the Three Thousand Realms, what is the little Wuding River," Lao Wang Ba boasted.
"Well, well, let's talk about what's the best way," Xiao Gu was already hopeless!
According to his understanding of this guy, the more he boasts, the less reliable he is, which seems to be a stereotype.
"You just need to take away the whole Wuding River or drink it dry, it's really stupid, how did a person like you survive until now, I'm really curious," Lao Wang Ba said with a big grin.
"It's a good idea," Xiao Gu nodded.
At this time, there is no terrifying suction on the top of the mountain, with his cultivation, it is just a big river, and it is not impossible to dry it up or take it away, even if this river is thousands of miles wide, after all, his cultivation is a quasi-emperor great consummation!
"Well, boy, I'm optimistic about you, this Wuding River is nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine miles wide and eight hundred miles deep, and the length is unknown," Lao Wang Ba encouraged.
I ......&%&...... , the only thing Xiao Gu wants to say now is your sister!
This guy is really unreliable as always, eight hundred miles deep, ten thousand miles wide, and it is also an uncertain long river with mysterious power and a mysterious amount of unknown length, even the emperor may not be able to shake it, this guy really dares to say!
"Is there any other way, you'd better think clearly, otherwise I'll throw you into the river, anyway, you Wang Bayi are not afraid of water," Xiao Gu threatened viciously.
"Boy without conscience," Old Wang Ba muttered in a low voice.
However, he probably also knew how unreliable his suggestion was, so although he was threatened by Xiao Gu, he didn't say much.
"Okay, boy, all you have to do now is wait," said the old man after a long time, a little tired.
"Okay then, just wait," Xiao Gu, who believed in Lao Wang Ba very much, immediately agreed!
Although this guy is sometimes unreliable, if you are serious, it is still very credible!
