Chapter 15: Ruins
He was a little frightened in his heart, and he didn't dare to stay by the Netherworld for a long time. Quickly left, and returned to the vermilion fruit forest, which seemed to be much safer in comparison.
As it got dark, he used his bronze sword to once again hold the heavenly object, hollowed out the trunk of a vermilion fruit, and then hid inside. He believed that the spiritual power of the Zhu Guoshu would definitely be able to cover his aura, so that he would not be afraid of a giant beast discovering it.
As the night grew darker, the sky darkened again. The rain began again, and with the darkness came. The storm was coming in the blink of an eye, the wind was howling in the mountains and forests, the torrential rain was tilting, and wild beasts roared angrily in the rain in the distance. The nights here are more terrifying than the day.
Qiu Zhishui hid in the trunk of the tree, sat cross-legged and meditated, and ran the exercises. There were no less than a hundred vermilion fruits beside him, which were constantly absorbed by his refining spiritual power. Gradually, a trace of spiritual power began to condense in the sea of divine consciousness, and then he refined the Zhu Guo faster, sometimes refining two or three pieces together.
The best way to take the elixir is not to eat, but to take the spiritual power and get rid of the sundries. This is the most effective way to take elixir. Of course, if you can use a combination of specific Dan furnaces and secret methods, and place different elixirs in the furnace in proportion to refine them into elixirs, the effect will be doubled.
The current conditions of Qiu Zhishui are limited, and there is no Dan furnace to refine the pills, so they can only refine them one by one. Although it is a bit wasteful, fortunately, there are many vermilion fruits here, and the effect should not be underestimated.
After refining the hundred vermilion fruits, his cultivation had recovered about thirty percent.
"As long as I stay here for three days, I can resume my cultivation. "Autumn stopped water and made up its mind.
late at night
The rain stopped.
In the depths of the jungle, the roars of unknown beasts came and went, the sky was like ink, and the forest was filled with gloomy air. The whole jungle seems to be extremely unpeaceful.
"Moo....!"
Suddenly, a roar came as if it shattered the heavens and the earth. Conglin fell into a deathly silence after this roar.
'Boom''''...!
After a while, the sound of huge footsteps was heard, and the earth trembled. A one-legged giant bull rushed out of the mountains in the distance and walked towards Zhu Guolin step by step. I don't know how many giant trees and ancient trees have been broken along the road, and a road has been faintly opened up in the mountains and forests.
The giant bull was more than 20 meters tall, red all over, its eyes shining like lanterns, and one hoof jumped up and down, leaving a footprint on the bluestone everywhere it passed.
Qiu Zhishui immediately stopped practicing without hesitation, suppressing his breath to the minimum, his body was almost silent, and he didn't dare to move.
Needless to say, this 'one-legged' cow should be the owner of this orchard. Qiu Zhishui didn't expect to encounter such a terrifying desolate alien species. Don't talk about yourself, even if it's a Yuan Infant Dacheng, it's probably not the opponent of this cow.
He hid in the trunk of the tree and did not dare to move, for fear that one of them would accidentally be discovered by the giant bull and bury himself under the one foot of the bull.
Bang!
The sound of huge cow hooves stomping on the ground stopped. The giant bull came to this orchard and stopped, opened its mouth and chewed on the crown of a vermilion tree, not only the fruit, but also the branches and leaves, as if the elixir were weeds.
Qiu Zhishui peeked out, and saw the giant bull uprooting a fruit tree, and secretly scolded and regretted the heavenly thing. At the same time, I wondered in my heart, "Looking at the eating posture of this cow, it seems that he has never seen the world, and he does not look like the owner of this place at all." ”。
He was thinking nonsense, but the giant bull suddenly stopped, a pair of big eyes looked into the distance, and his nose kept spewing out white gas, as if he was facing a great enemy. Then he roared and rushed towards the Netherworld.
Qiu Zhishui followed and looked there, and was suddenly shocked, and his heart almost stopped beating.
I saw that the thick fog swept over not far away, and the evil qi was rolling and agitating, where the demonic spirit was soaring, and a pair of blood-colored eyes in the dense fog looked down on the earth coldly, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Qiu Zhishui couldn't see what the body of the pair of bloody eyes was, just because the black fog there was too weird.
Moo!
The giant bull roared, and the whole jungle trembled with a 'boom' sound as it stepped over the earth. The horns shimmered brightly, and without hesitation, they rushed towards the eyes in the thick fog, and the momentum was shocking and intimidating.
When the bull rushed into the thick fog, for a moment everything was strangely calm, and there was silence all around, no beast roaring, no insects chirping, not even the sound of the wind. It was as if the giant bull had disappeared into the plane in an instant. Everything is terrifying.
The pair of bloody eyes in the sky were still cold, without any emotion, and after a while, they slowly disappeared downward, until they disappeared completely.
Crash....!
At the moment when the pair of bloody eyes disappeared, there was a sudden sound of falling water in the distance. As it vanished, the black fog and aura slowly dissipated.
"What is living in the Netherworld?" Qiu Zhishui didn't dare to breathe, the giant bull was so strong that in the end, it didn't even bubble up in the end, how could he not be afraid.
Fortunately, the thing seemed to completely ignore his existence, which made Qiu Zhishui feel a lot more relieved. After this change, Qiu Zhishui did not dare to heal again. Hiding in the center of the tree trunk, he spent a difficult night in fear.
The next day, when it was just dawn, he cautiously approached the direction of the Netherworld, and smelled a strong smell of blood from a distance, and he saw the corpse of the giant bull lying on the shore of the Netherworld Lake. The blood continued overnight, staining a large area red.
Qiu Zhishui didn't dare to stay by the pond for a long time, and returned to the fruit forest, thinking for a moment but still didn't dare to risk staying, wrapped it with a coat, and picked some vermilion fruits to put it on. Then he picked up the bronze sword and walked towards the deep mountains and old forests.
He swayed quickly through the jungle, and by noon he was far from the orchard. Looking around, he stopped to rest in an area with a relatively good line of sight, lay on the grass and looked at the sky, thinking about how to get out of here. This cave of ten thousand demons is a small world of its own, and it doesn't seem as easy to leave as imagined.
Autumn stopped and fell into deep thought.
A black dot in the distance approached quickly, and at first he thought it was a bird, until later he realized that it was an ink unicorn that had gone and returned. Thinking of everything yesterday, Qiu Zhishui was angry, grabbed the head of the ink unicorn and shook it constantly, and scolded in his mouth, "You brute has no conscience, I was kind enough to heal you and disappeared without even letting go of a fart." Now you're willing to come back?huh, look at how I clean up your ......"
He even pulled, and the ink unicorn was not annoyed, allowing him to pull the ink fur, and from time to time he opened his big mouth as if he was laughing.
After tossing for a while, Qiu Zhishui finally stopped. The ink unicorn shook its head as if flattering, and walked over, rubbing Qiu Zhishui's body to show friendship. Qiu Zhishui laughed angrily, thinking that this beast was too human.
Seeing that he was no longer angry, the ink unicorn grinned and seemed to be smiling again, and then bit Qiu Zhishui's clothes and gently tugged.
Qiu Zhishui understood what it meant, picked up the bronze sword, and then stepped on the ink unicorn and flew into the distance.
The speed of the ink unicorn was not unfast, like a bolt of lightning across the vast mountains, leaving the entire primeval jungle behind. It took about three sticks of incense to fly thousands of miles, and finally came to the edge of the jungle. This is a grassland, and the green grassland covers a very large area, and the endless sea is like the sea. But the most surprising thing is not these, but the fact that there is a ruin in the depths of the steppe.
The ink unicorn fell to the edge of the ruins, making a faint sad whimper, as if there was a special emotional fluctuation. But Qiu Zhishui didn't notice the anomaly of the ink unicorn.
Because, he has already been shocked by everything in front of him. Fang couldn't see anything in the air just now, but when he looked at the ground, he was immediately shocked by the vastness of the ruins.
The ruins of the wall, the rubble of a place, and the bluestone buildings that have not collapsed have also been seriously weathered, standing in this heaven and earth, stubbornly refusing to fall, as if telling an unknown past.
"Here...... What the hell is this place?" was completely shocked by the ruins in front of him.
The vicissitudes of the sea, the primeval wilderness. How long this ruin has existed has long been unverifiable, and it has never been wiped out as the years have passed, and it has never been wiped out.
Autumn water and ink unicorns walked silently among the ruins, and it was so silent that they seemed to be the only visitors here for thousands of years.
A man and a beast stepped on the rubble and walked in the ruins, Qiu Zhishui felt as if he was walking in the long river of history, and a desolate and long-standing aura shrouded the surroundings.
"Roar!".
Suddenly, the ink unicorn roared, and suddenly accelerated its pace and ran forward. Qiu Zhishui followed, and found that it was actually a castle that had not completely collapsed. Although it has not collapsed, the walls have been weathered so badly that they are in danger of falling apart at any time.
A bronze plaque fell under the gate of the castle, the plaque seemed to have a lot of weight, and the crushed rock was inlaid in it, but there was not a trace of dust on Zhou's body, and there was even a trace of spiritual power fluctuations.
Autumn stopped the water shock, this plaque should be a rare treasure in the year, but the years are ruthless, even if the treasure in the long river of history has ended up so bleak.
The text on the card is from the same civilization as the ancient monument of the Netherworld, and it is impossible to recognize it in Qiuzhishui. But after spiritual discovery, the name of this castle was found - Zhuxian Palace!
