Chapter 181: Flames

The warm mountain breeze blows through this forest meadow, the green weeds rise and fall with the wind, although the surrounding ruins reveal a desolate atmosphere, but standing here, watching a few white clouds drift by in the blue sky, and then thinking about the huge labyrinth that was deep under the bottom of the foot not long ago, it really makes people feel like they have a sense of the rest of their lives.

It's like really going to the ghost gate and walking around, and crawling back from the Huangquan Difu with difficulty.

The pit in front of it lay quietly and silently in the grass, and perhaps after a while the weeds would spread and grow beneath the pit, and then cover all traces as if no one had ever been here.

Shen Shi looked at the dirt pit silently, and after a while, he turned his head and smiled at Zhong Qinglu, with a gentle smile, and said, "Let's go back." ”

Zhong Qinglu let out a long breath, nodded heavily, and smiled, "Okay, let's go back." ”

The two men left side by side, stepping on the weeds that had grown here for an unknown number of years, walking past the ruins of palaces that might have been once magnificent years ago, but now only a remnant remains, and walked forward.

The Qinglong Mountain Range was one of the holy places of the demon clan in the Heavenly Demon King Court era in the past, it stretched for a long time and covered a vast area, Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu were not sure where they were at the moment, they just looked at the surrounding terrain and mountains, which was obviously completely different from the place when they had just gone up the mountain.

Tianhong City is the largest city in Hongmeng, and the scope of the city is incredible, and it can even contain huge mountain ranges, such as the Qinglong Mountain Range. Therefore, although Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu did not immediately find their way back, they were not panicked in their hearts, because as long as they left this mountain peak and walked down, they would naturally be able to see the prosperous Tianhong City as soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Shen Shi even thought of another excuse in his heart at this time, that is, he and Zhong Qinglu went to the ruins of the ancient demon clan emperor palace in Qinglong Mountain because they were bored, and then unknowingly went away and got lost. Although this excuse is a little embarrassing, as long as it doesn't take long, it seems that it can be perfunctory, after all, a cultivator like Ling Xiao Sect is not too strict with the disciples who have Taoism under the sect. It is also common for ordinary disciples to go out on a trip or something, and they don't come back for a few days without news for a while.

And the place they are walking in now looks like the depths of the Qinglong Mountain Range, and there are a few ruins and stone pillars left around, but in general, the architectural remains they see are not much, and the scene of the layered pavilions and palaces they saw when they went up the mountain in front of the Qinglong Mountain Range still seems much cleaner, of course, after these ten thousand years, this place will seem even more barren and cold.

After walking like this, Shen Shi found that this place looked a little like a secluded garden in the palace of the Demon Emperor back then, with two pavilions that looked like dilapidated stone pillars, and even farther away on top of a deep ditch, and a stone bridge that was half broken.

Maybe the deep ditch used to flow with clear and abundant water, maybe it was a small river, but now it has dried up. All the good things have been eroded by the rain and wind, leaving only a melancholy trace of loneliness. Shen Shi frowned slightly and didn't speak, and Zhong Qinglu, who was beside him, seemed to have a little feeling, his eyes swept over the ruins of the courtyard in front of him, his expression was slightly regretful, and he turned to Shen Shi and said:

"Stone, this may have been a very beautiful garden, right?"

Shen Shi nodded and said, "It should be, after all, it was also the imperial palace where the Demon Emperor lived back then, known as the place where tens of thousands of years of elite of the Hongmeng Realm were gathered, even if it was an inconspicuous garden, it was extraordinary." ”

Zhong Qinglu looked a little distracted, as if he was imagining the magnificent and beautiful scene ten thousand years ago, and couldn't help but say: "If just one garden is so beautiful, how magnificent the entire Demon Clan Emperor Palace will be, I really want to go back to ten thousand years ago to take a look." ”

Shen Shi smiled dumbly, and said: "Fool, if we really go back to 10,000 years ago, our human race is a slave and weak race that has been trampled under the feet of the demon race and other powerful alien races, not to mention killing at every turn, a beautiful girl like you may have been snatched home by others a long time ago...... Uh,"

Shen Shi's words suddenly paused, obviously realizing that what he said was a little wrong, a little light, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and Zhong Qinglu looked a little surprised, but it didn't mean to be angry, although his cheeks were slightly red, but he couldn't tell whether it was anger or joy, he glanced at Shen Shi sideways, and said in a low voice: "Nonsense." ”

Shen Shi laughed dryly, touched his head, felt that something was not right in this atmosphere, and hurriedly walked forward, and at the same time said, "Eh, I said the wrong thing, don't care." Hmm, I'll see how I'm going to get down the mountain, it looks like I'm in the mountains......"

Before the words fell, Zhong Qinglu behind him suddenly let out an exclamation, as if he had been frightened by something.

Shen Shi was a spirit, his body turned almost instantly, and Xiao Hei, who had been silently following him, and from time to time burrowed into the grass next to him to make a fuss, also jumped out suddenly, grinning beside Shen Shi, and let out a low and threatening roar.

Zhong Qinglu walked a few steps quickly, and suddenly approached Shen Shi's side, Shen Shi is brows furrowed, his face gradually sank, and his eyes were staring at a corner in the depths of the ruined garden, which was farther in the direction of the broken bridge that the two of them had walked just now.

There was a barren and grassy flat land, where a few large trees were born, and the green branches and leaves were hanging down, as if there was still water in the river in the past, but in this desolate atmosphere, it seemed a little strange. And in this strange atmosphere, Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu's eyes both saw that behind the broken bridge, a claw covered with scale armor slowly poked out, a lizard-like hideous beast head, spit out a long tongue like a snake letter, with a greedy and vicious gaze, stretched out from behind the stone bridge.

Shen Shi stared at the monster behind the stone bridge, and soon his gaze fell on the beast's head and jaw with a few miserable green streaks, and then his pupils shrank slightly, and he said in a low voice:

"Green bud lizard. ”

Zhong Qinglu was stunned for a moment and said, "What?"

Shen Shi glanced at her, stopped talking, and then said in a deep voice: "Fourth-order demon beasts, they are poisonous alone, their skin is thick and difficult to hurt, they are afraid of fire, especially the fire system technique in the Five Elements Technique......"

His words suddenly fell, as if he was stunned, his eyes flashed, at this moment in his heart, but suddenly a little strange feeling floated, this demon beast that suddenly appeared in the desolate ruins, actually made him have a sense of familiarity in his heart for no reason.

It seems that not long ago, in that dark dungeon, I had heard of similar but more powerful monsters.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the demon beast in front of him that was slowly revealing its hideous and ferocious intent, the sky was blue and bright, even if it was far away, the slightest trace of the demon beast could be seen clearly.

With a "boom", between the palms and fingers of his hand, a fireball burned and slowly rose in front of him, the blazing fire burned, reflected in his eyes.
