"How long has this been going on? The shopkeepers haven't come back yet..."
"No, I have to go down and take a look. I keep waiting like this. If something happens, who among you and me can bear such responsibility? "
"I also feel that waiting is definitely not possible, where is Yuan Hong?"
"Senior, can you try the method you used before to confirm the safety of the boss? ”
Halfway up the cliff.
Among countless armored stone men.
The group of people walked back and forth, a gloomy atmosphere enveloped them, and the sound of arguments could be heard from time to time.
Except for a few newcomers, most of the people who came on this trip were the mainstay of the Chen family.
Generations and generations have relied on this big tree of the Chen family to survive.
If you always put your head and body to death.
The Chen family building must be destroyed in an instant.
When the time comes...
Where will they go?
It is not easy to survive in troubled times.
We can no longer find a bandit on a hilltop and make a living by robbing families and homes, or we can drag our families with them and flee everywhere.
Seeing all the eyes of the group of people falling on him.
Yuan Hong also looked helpless.
"You think I haven't tried it. This place is very evil, and the art of searching mountains and looking for dragons can't be penetrated at all."
Since the group borrowed the queen's coffin and went deep underground, it tried He used the mountain-hunting method several times, but failed to achieve anything and returned without success.
The mandrill's breath passed more than ten meters underground.
It was like touching an invisible barrier.
"How could this happen?"
"No, brothers, let me fight. If you don't find the shopkeeper, you won't be able to get through this matter today."
Listen To this point.
The faces of the group were even more ugly.
The depression accumulated in their hearts was like a huge mountain, weighing them down so much that they could hardly breathe.
No one dares to think wildly.
Suddenly, a tall but skinny man stood up, raised his arms and shouted.
Suddenly more than ten guys responded.
Everyone showed determination and no fear.
However, just as they were about to get up, Yuan Hong, who had been staring at the darkness at the foot of the mountain, seemed to notice something, and hesitation flashed in his amber eyes.
“Wait!”
“Let me try again.”
“There seems to be movement down there.”
“What?”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be shocked and gathered around him like lightning.
But Yuan Hong waved his hand to signal them to retreat. Seeing this, the group immediately stopped, leaving an open space outside it.
Yuan Hong did not delay either.
Kneeling half down, he stretched out a pair of fingers covered with snow-white hair.
Under the shadow of everyone.
A ray of black gold light flickered on the chest, and as the meridians reversed, it finally flowed into the five fingers.
Bang!
Yuan Hong pressed his big hand to the ground.
The golden light goes deep into the ground.
However, before I even had time to close my eyes, a familiar breath came.
What shocked it even more was the overwhelming sense of fire.
"It's the master, and... Luofu!"
Yuan Hong's heart trembled.
It couldn’t even remember how long it had been since it had seen it. It thought that the owner had not brought it with him on this trip, but now it seemed that it was simply overthinking.
Don’t use such a strong backhand.
Really put it in Chenjiazhuang.
With Luofu’s character, half of the sky will be overthrown when they return.
“What?”
Listen to its low murmur.
The skinny man frowned and asked subconsciously.
"Back."
"It's the master and the others."
Yuan Hong suddenly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed the shock caused by Luofu's breath, and nodded to the group of people.
This sentence seems to be a sign.
The next moment.
In the Royal Tomb Cave shrouded in darkness, several lights appeared alternately.
Looking at the leader through the firelight, he is tall and has piercing eyes. Who else could it be if he were not the leader?
“It’s true.”
“My head is back.”
“Brothers, don’t worry anymore.”
"I know that with the ability of the leader, he can't come and go freely. How can there be any fight in this world that can trap him?"
Looking at the five people, there are many.
All returned safely.
In an instant, half of the stone platform exploded with excitement. Everyone was excited and shouting.
Listen to the movement above your head.
Several people at the foot of the mountain couldn't help but smile at each other.
Aren’t they themselves the same?
Until this moment, I feel relieved, and I feel like I have escaped from life and death.
"Huh? The queen's body is missing."
It's different from before.
At this moment, in the cave, the sacred wooden coffin was still there, but all the artifacts had been cleared away, and even the queen's body was gone.
“The Kunlun Sacred Tree is used as a coffin, and being buried in it can keep the body from rotting and deteriorating, and being as fresh as life. Without the nourishment of the Sacred Coffin, how can the physical body still have any reason to exist?”
He glanced at the surprised and suspicious people.
Chen Yulou waved his hand, indicating that they did not need to worry.
If you are in a coffin, there may still be a chance that it will become frozen, but without the protection of the coffin, it is like snowflakes under the scorching sun.
"This..."
Hear this.
Yang Fang’s expression changed slightly.
As if he thought of something, he subconsciously swung the wind lantern in his hand toward the depths of the hidden compartment behind him.
Only a corner of the stone chamber below was visible.
There was a patch of color that was unusually bright, much darker than the surrounding areas.
He understood immediately.
Those are clearly the traces left after the Queen's corpse decomposed.
“Let’s go.”
“Even if a demon is really formed, it will not become a phenomenon.”
Chen Yulou smiled faintly.
Although his tone was light, it conveyed an indescribable domineering tone.
While talking.
The man has already activated the magic method, stepping on the void to break through the black mist, and heading towards the top of his head step by step.
"Also..."
Yang Fang was startled at first.
Then the scene of him slaying demons and subduing demons and suppressing ancient gods flashed through his mind.
Even the gods are like this.
So what if rigor mortis lasts for thousands of years?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh. He didn't dare to delay anymore, and activated his energy and blood, like an agile ape, walking between the stone walls.
In front of him, several people from Kunlun were also using their own methods.
The stone wall, as smooth as a mirror, seemed to them to be walking on flat ground.
"Master."
"The boss."
"Mr. Chen..."
Chen Yulou was the first to appear on the top of the cliff.
A group of people immediately came to greet him.
In addition to several familiar figures such as Yuan Hong, Zhang Yunqiao, Xiao Qian and Xu Laosan, there is also a rare female voice among them.
The names given to him are also quite different.
Chen Yulou looked subconsciously.
At a glance, he saw Oona who was a few steps behind everyone.
At this moment, she was completely different from the fierce and heroic figure in the past. There was clearly a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes.
See this.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but think of the scene he saw in the stone palace before.
The girl who saw her mother for the first time.
Crying silently, tears falling like rain.
No one is born strong.
Especially when you are born in such an environment, you can often only put on a layer of disguise for yourself.
Thinking of this, Chen Yulou shook his head calmly at her, indicating that he was fine.
Facing that handsome face.
Oona suddenly came to her senses and quickly averted her eyes.
The Ten Arrows Tribe has had rules since ancient times. They are not allowed to marry outsiders. Once discovered, they will be sent to the underworld and hell, and they will be unforgivable like those who sinned against the God.
What's more, regardless of his identity, status, appearance, and temperament, Chen Yulou is one of the best in the world.
And myself.
He is just a sinner at the lowest level.
Having just walked out of purgatory, what qualifications do you have to be tempted?
After returning to the tribe this time, there is a high probability that he will succeed his father as a wizard.
From a person who sins against God, to a person who serves God.
It seems like a word difference. But the difference is huge.
As children of gods, wizards are not allowed to have any personal feelings.
Just like his parents, they had no choice but to escape from the tribe and eventually died in the ancient city. They were not allowed to return for the rest of their lives, and even their bones were not allowed to be buried in the tribal territory.
Plus, she knows one thing very well.
People like Chen Yulou are like the eagles on the Tianshan Mountains, they can only soar on the dome, how can they stay in such a remote tribe?
So all kinds of things.
Even if there is a trace of affection.
Oona could only suppress it forcefully and make herself indifferent again.
I noticed the change in her expression.
Chen Yulou sighed secretly.
Although he has never been close to women in his life, how could he not see anything in his interactions with the girls in Zhuangzi, as well as Hong Gu and Hua Ling.
It’s just...
Just as Oona thought.
He is devoted to spiritual practice, and all he wants is eternal life.
It is indeed impossible to stop because of her.
The two of them are destined to pass by each other in parallel. Apart from this trip, they may never have any intersection in this life.
One more thing.
In the tribe that day.
The patriarch made it very clear that in this generation, there has never been anyone recognized by the gods, so Wu Na is most likely to become the next generation of wizards.
If it was because of myself that I destroyed her.
Wait until Azhiya dies.
The Turkic tribe has no shaman who can communicate with the gods.
This is something he never wants to see.
After all, if it weren’t for the clan leader’s help, how could he have crossed the Black Desert so easily.
It’s nice to meet by chance.
“What time is it now?”
Putting his thoughts away, Chen Yulou glanced at the people beside him.
From the very early morning when we set out to descend into the tomb until now, the whole process has been in the dark underground, and there are many dangers, and abnormal phenomena have occurred frequently.
So it’s him.
I don’t know how time has passed.
“It’s almost time to apply.”
Xu Laosan, that is, the tall, thin man with an evil aura, silently calculated on his fingers, and after a while he gave an uncertain answer.
"Shen Shi?"
"That's okay."
Chen Yulou was startled.
Although it has entered the Republic of China now.
But they were basically born in the Qing Dynasty and were accustomed to the timing of the heavenly stems and earthly branches.
It was almost three or five o'clock in the afternoon.
It is approaching evening.
It’s not yet night.
But when I think about what I have done, fighting and slaying demons and subduing demons all the way, it seems that ten hours is acceptable.
"Boss... you may have misunderstood, the fight happened yesterday."
Listen to him talking to himself.
The people in front of him couldn't help but look at each other.
In the end, Zhang Yunqiao stood up and reminded him helplessly.
“A day and a half?”
"How could it be possible? Didn't we just go down to the Ghost Cave?"
"No, it really took so long. Why didn't I feel the passage of time at all?"
Zhang Yunqiao finished speaking.
The people who followed up behind them couldn’t help but look weird.
Although the ghost cave is indeed bottomless.
But it’s not like going down there and walking for a whole day, right?
This is too bizarre.
"Really, how dare I hide it from you, the shopkeeper? If you don't believe me, you can ask Yuan Hong. If it hadn't been so long, we wouldn't be in such a panic."
Zhang Yunqiao explained continuously.
Hearing this, Chen Yulou’s eyes flickered, and the partridge whistle behind him also looked thoughtful.
Then the two of them spoke almost in unison.
"Transformation of the realm?"
Except for illusion, they could not think of the second possibility.
Perhaps, from the moment they stepped into the stone chamber, they fell into an illusion. Especially the trip to the ghost cave was influenced by the power of illusion.
That’s why I can’t feel the passage of time.
I thought it was a few hours.
In fact, more than a day has passed.
"General...General Manager, what is going on here?"
The changes in the expressions of the two people made Zhang Yunqiao a little confused, but subconsciously felt that things seemed not that simple, he hesitated Again and again, he asked.
“It’s okay.”
Chen Yulou waved his hand.
The fewer people who know about the existence of the ancient gods, the better.
Although the people present are all Chang Shengshan’s confidants.
But with so many people talking, it is difficult to guarantee whether it will be leaked one day in the future.
It’s not that he’s afraid of attracting other people’s prying eyes.
The Black Desert is enough to stop most people.
He is worried about the practitioners.
Once someone breaks the seal in the snake god's skull and allows the trace of soul in the 'Muchen Bead' to fuse with the illusion of movement, it is tantamount to opening the door to disaster again.
At that time, a resurrected and angry snake god will emerge.
It is not as simple as a scourge.
That is an existence that is enough to destroy the world.
Chen Yulou did not want to attract this powerful enemy for himself.
The next thing he has to do is to return to Chenjiazhuang to buy more time for himself to practice. I dare not say the Yuanshen realm, but at least step into the cave.
Just now we have a chance to protect ourselves.
After all, in addition to the snake god, there are seven other ancient gods in this world, who are snooping around in some corner.
The most important thing is.
In fact, he has always had a huge doubt.
Throughout the ages, where have those people who became immortals gone, such as the legendary Lu Zu, Peng Zu, and even Qingchi Taoist? Can they sense the existence of the ancient gods when they ascend to immortality?
Or...
This is the world.
It's just a prison.
They are all cattle and sheep raised in captivity.
The ascended one, the moment the void breaks through, is the time when the ancient gods share their food?
This guess was so crazy that even he didn’t dare to think about it.
If it were true.
It is a small thing to cultivate and become a demon, and I am afraid that the Taoist heart will be broken.
“Go back to the camp first.”
Chen Yulou waved his hand and greeted.
Hearing the lack of interest in his words, a group of people still didn't know what happened and didn't dare to ask. They stood up quickly one by one, took their harvest and left along the way they came.
Until you cross the giant underground door.
Walk across the stone bridge.
When passing the underground lake again.
Only when he noticed the rich spiritual energy on the island in the center of the lake did he suddenly come back to his senses.
"Brother Dao, I would like to ask you to look after the team for the time being."
"Chen still has some things to do."
Partridge Whistle nodded in agreement without hesitation.
We have known each other for so long.
He had actually vaguely guessed a long time ago that Chen Yulou practiced Qingmu techniques. Now, how could he miss a Kunlun sacred tree in vain.
"Brother Chen, don't worry."
"Yang will definitely deliver them safely."
"I'll be at the camp waiting for good news from Brother Chen."
Hearing this, Chen Yulou nodded.
After that, he watched the team disappear into the cliff tunnel until the surroundings were shrouded in darkness again, and except for the flow of the river, there was no other movement.
He just stepped out in one step.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared on the island in the middle of the lake.
The golden light wraps around the Kunlun Sacred Tree, and the majestic vitality almost overflows from it.
Huh——
See this situation.
Chen Yulou took a few deep breaths and suppressed his anxiety.
Even if the guess is true.
It's not something that should be considered now.
Since only ascended ones are qualified to become the prey of ancient gods, then... they must at least reach that level of cultivation before making any plans.
"The aura of green wood blends with all things."
"Real body, come out!"
Lifting the hem of his robe, Chen Yulou sat cross-legged with calm eyes.
A few words slowly came out of his mouth.
The next moment.
A green light filled the air, and the dharma image, which turned from virtual to real, slowly emerged behind him. (End of this chapter)
