Chapter 289 The Ghost King’s Tomb Master Appears
At night, Xiao Jie followed Master Xiaoyue out of the back hall, winding up the steps behind the main hall, and soon arrived at the rooftop of the palace.
Leaning on the railing and looking at the ground hundreds of meters high below, Xiao Jie couldn't help but admire.
The scenery at the top of this giant tree is truly spectacular.
"Master, how do we get to the Abyss of Fire?"
"Of course I have to fly there, I can't just walk there." Master Xiaoyue said, and with a greeting, the Canglang guards naturally came to see him.
But I saw many huge bird's nests sitting on the rooftop. The giant birds flying in formation around the giant trees had obviously settled here.
At this moment, there were many giant birds lying in their nests, looking at the two of them curiously.
These giant birds are obviously divided into different species. Some look like giant eagles, while others look like wild geese.
"Guards, bring me two storm eagles." Master Xiaoyue gave the order and watched several wolf guards pull the two giant eagles out of the eagle's nest.
"This Storm Eagle is the exclusive mount of our Canglin Tianyu Army. It can fight in the air. With this, it is naturally convenient to fly and travel. We are going to the Abyss of Fire, so let's ride them."
Xiao Jie's eyes lit up when he saw it. Damn it, there is even a flying mount. This is awesome.
Flying mounts are absolutely unparalleled in MMORPG games. It can be said to be a treasure that can break the rules of the game.
Many dangerous maps can be easily explored with flying mounts. No matter how far away the map is, you can easily reach it.
With this thing, it is equivalent to opening up the entire map of the game, and you can go wherever you want. This is much more powerful than ordinary equipment, skill books, etc.
Xiao Jie said excitedly: "Master, I have decided what reward I want!"
Master Xiaoyue rolled his eyes at him, "If you want this Storm Eagle mount as a reward, then you can shut up."
"Uh-why is this?"
"This storm eagle is an important military weapon. The foundation of our Canglin State must not be obtained by external forces. If your eagle is taken away by others and a second Tianyu Army is reproduced, it will be a big blow to our Canglin State. Huge loss, so no decision.
This Storm Eagle is just for temporary loan to you, so don't think too much about it. ”
Xiao Jie felt regretful in his heart. It was a pity. If this could be a flying mount, it would be much more powerful than any equipment elixir.
It seems that although this game has a high degree of freedom, it will not easily break the game balance. .
"Okay, I know, then I'll think about it slowly."
"Come on, we have to hurry up and try to get it done before tonight, without giving the Yao Star Tower any time to react."
As he spoke, Master Xiaoyue jumped onto the back of a storm eagle, pulled the reins and soared into the air.
Xiao Jie right-clicked on another Storm Eagle, and his character also jumped on it.
Obviously this mount does not belong to him. There is no reins or anything like that in the backpack. It is just a temporary mount.
Even he couldn't control it directly. The Storm Eagle followed behind Master Xiao Yue and flew completely automatically.
Xiao Jie looked at the gradually rising ground below, feeling mixed for a moment.
The ability to fly in this game is extremely rare. It seems that only high-level magicians can learn the magic of turning into birds. This is a special case, and Enron cannot.
The Immortal Magician seems to be able to perform a short-lived spell, which is mentioned in the database of the Dragon Soaring Knights.
Then there is the sword master. It is said that he can fly with a sword, but it seems to be just a rumor...
Players who have mastered the ability to fly are undoubtedly the top beings in the game and are status symbols. If they can fully increase the favorability of Master Xiaoyue, I don’t know if they can get one.
The flight was indeed extremely fast. In less than an hour, a piece of pitch-black scorched earth appeared on the ground, which was particularly eye-catching in the lush forest-filled territory of Canglin State.
Under the moonlight, one can clearly see huge ravines crisscrossing the scorched earth. The largest one goes deep into the ground, like a steep canyon, and the dark abyss leads to no one knows where.
"We're here, let's go down." Master Xiaoyue pressed the eagle's head, and the two giant eagles swooped down, and a moment later, they landed at the entrance of the deep canyon.
Xiao Jie jumped off the Storm Eagle and carefully observed the surrounding environment. The surrounding area was surrounded by pitch-black scorched earth. The vegetation was all dead, and the few that were still alive showed a grayish color and grew twisted.
There were no insects or birds chirping around, and everything seemed dead silent.
There were only some green will-o'-the-wisps floating around in the night.
Several monster beasts that have turned into skeletons can also be seen in the distance.
"Master, where is this Abyss of Fire? Why does it look so ghostly?"
It stands to reason that Canglin Prefecture is the territory of monsters, but the style of painting here is obviously different.
Master Xiaoyue looked at the dark abyss in front of him and explained lightly: "Five thousand years ago, the gate of hell opened, and countless armies of the underworld poured into the world of Jiuzhou. More than a dozen gates to the underworld appeared between heaven and earth. This abyss of hell fire This is where one of the gates to the underworld is located.
Everyone thinks that the Netherworld is underground, but this is not the case. The Netherworld and our Kyushu world are in the same world, overlapping each other, but unrelated to each other. Most people may not be able to understand..."
Xiao Jie understood in his heart, isn't it a parallel world? Or something like the world within the table world?
This setting often appears in science fiction novels and horror games.
"The worlds are separated by invisible barriers, but this barrier is not always stable. Especially since the alien demon came to the world eight thousand years ago, the barrier of this Kyushu world has become more and more fragile, and many weaknesses have appeared. The invasion of the ghost world used these weak points as the entrance.
Although the army of the underworld was later destroyed and the entrance was sealed, the army of the underworld had such a profound impact on this area that the area where the Abyss of Fire was located became an environment similar to the underworld, where ordinary people would continue to be affected by Corrosion, I also rely on my cultivation to be safe and sound.
Xiao Jie clicked on the real person Xiaoyue with the mouse, and sure enough he saw an extra DEBUFF on her head.
[Netherworld Breath: This unit is affected by the Ghost Breath, and its movement speed and attack speed are slightly reduced. 】
Xiao Jie looked at his head again, but did not notice this state. He thought it was strange, why was he okay?
Yes, I have the legendary trait [Invulnerability to Cold and Heat], which makes me immune to environmental damage. This ghostly aura should also be considered environmental damage, so I am not afraid of it.
Only then did he clearly realize that the word "legend" with legendary characteristics was not given for nothing.
Even beings of the level of Master Xiaoyue are not immune and can only resist. However, the characteristics brought by Qi Refining Technique can directly exempt them, which is indeed extraordinary.
He walked around curiously, but suddenly found something different on the ground not far away.
He carefully approached and saw a huge circular platform suddenly appearing on the charred ground. This platform was slightly raised than the surrounding ground and was covered with thick stone slabs. It seemed to have some kind of special usefulness. There are many strange spell patterns carved on the stone slab, which look like some kind of magic circle.
Next to the platform, a huge stone tablet stood there, with three characters - Ghost King Tomb.
There are some small words below.
[The immortals of Guyun Prefecture defeated the Soul-devouring Ghost King here and carved a monument to remember it.
This place is where the seal of the Ghost King is located. It cannot be opened by anyone other than those with profound powers and righteousness. Otherwise, life will be ruined. Don’t say it was unforeseen. The man who erected the monument is Shen Jizi. 】
In the center of the platform, you can also see a square stone slab with several grooves on it.
Xiao Jie clicked with the mouse, and a mosaic interface suddenly appeared.
System prompt: Requires spirit stone sigil 0/5.
Xiao Jie knew clearly and probably guessed what it was, but he still asked.
"Real person, what is this?"
"The Ghost King was sealed. The immortals destroyed the Netherworld army back then, but the soul-eating Ghost King was difficult to kill and could only be sealed."
"Why is it so difficult to kill? Isn't it possible to kill a ghost king with the power of all the immortals? Is that thing so powerful?"
Master Xiaoyue smiled and said: "When a person dies, he will go to the underworld. When the Ghost King dies, where do you think he will go?"
"Netherworld?"
"Yes, so the ghost king cannot be killed. Every time you kill it, it will only weaken it. It will not take long for it to resurrect in the nether world. If you want to kill a ghost king, you can only seal it and wait until Time gradually weakened his power. After falling from the realm of the Ghost King, he opened the seal and tried to kill him
Five thousand years have passed since the invasion of the underworld. I guess the ghost king is already very weak and can be killed, but the immortals have long since ceased to exist, so no one cares about the seal. ”
Xiao Jie thought to himself, so it turns out that love is a summoning BOSS.
It sounds like this Ghost King is a BOSS on the same level as the immortals. Just to unblock it requires five spirit stone talismans.
According to common sense, the value of the drops must be far higher than the value of the five spiritual stone sigils. It will definitely drop epic equipment, and maybe even orange equipment (legendary equipment).
It's a pity that I don't have to think about this kind of thing alone. This Ghost King will definitely require the strength of an entire guild to have a chance to conquer it. It is a world-class BOSS.
And the risk must be huge. I still have a mortal Taoist to fight, so I can only wait in line.
While the two were chatting, a clear voice suddenly came from the sky.
"Master Xiaoyue is so refined that he still has the leisure to reflect on the present and remember the past. I received your secret letter and thought it was imminent."
As soon as Xiao Jie raised his head, he saw a crane falling slowly. On the back of the crane came an old Taoist with a white beard. He was dressed in a bamboo-yellow Taoist robe, wearing a sky-covering crown on his head, and mango shoes on his feet. He was holding a fly whisk in his hand, his face He looks quite kind.
Longhua Zhenren (Celestial Master Protecting the Country): A level 58 outsider. HP: 6000.
I think it was the helper that Master Xiao Yue had found.
He is indeed a master.
Master Xiaoyue said with emotion: "Fellow Taoist Longhua, it has been hundreds of years since we last met, and you are much older now."
The old Taoist smiled and said, "There are no mortals who are immortal. Even if you achieve Taoism, you are not an immortal after all, but you will still have one day. Fortunately, your muscles and bones are still strong now, but you - you still look as gorgeous as you did back then. I'm really envious." It’s evil.”
Master Xiaoyue just smiled after hearing this, "While you're still alive, let me tell you something. Your brother Long Wushang has been a little worried recently. He even sent someone to make Canglin Province surrender a few days ago. Otherwise, we will send troops to attack. It is said that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers. The Long family wants to rebuild the glory of the empire... Do you know this? "
Master Longhua shook his head and smiled, "Although Long Wushang and I are from the same clan, we have been separated for countless years. How can we still have any friendship? Now I am only guarding the portal in Longhua Prefecture. These troublesome things, you Just ask someone else.
Besides, what are you afraid of? Even if Beimingzhou's army wants to go south, they will attack Fengyinzhou first. Then others will naturally have a headache. ”
Before Xiao Yue could say anything, a cold voice suddenly came from the sky, "Master Long Hua has really been away from the world for a long time and has not been involved in the world. It is so easy to say this to avoid trouble."
Xiao Jie looked up and saw a Taoist priest in white holding a sword in the sky under the full moon. His white clothes were fluttering in the night wind. His face was like white jade, he was handsome and handsome, and he looked handsome.
Master Mingyue (host of Xuanxu Palace), level 55 sect leader, with 4600 health points.
Hey, it’s him! Xiao Jie was a little surprised, he didn't expect to see an acquaintance.
Well, it’s not really an acquaintance, at most it’s just a casual acquaintance.
Master Mingyue jumped up and landed on the ground in an instant. The flying sword circled in a circle, turned into a white light, and fell into the sheath on his back. Xiao Jie noticed that Master Mingyue was carrying three swords on his back, and he was obviously well prepared.
Master Long Hua smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Mingyue, you are here too, long time no see."
Master Mingyue said calmly: "It's a good thing I'm here, otherwise I wouldn't have known if I had been tricked. But Fellow Taoist Longhua, since you said it has nothing to do with Long Wushang, then if Long Wushang dares to raise his troops to invade, we will wait for him Don’t blame me when I kill him.”
"Uh..." Before Master Long Hua could speak, a rough voice suddenly emerged from the ground.
"Hahaha, I once heard in the past: the breeze caresses the heart and warms the heart, and the bright moon shines on the cold. - Mingyue Taoism is friendly to evil spirits, so majestic."
Just look at a person emerging from the soil.
Heng Yuan (Great Wilderness layman): Level 48 external incarnation. HP 3000.
Master Mingyue glanced at the man and couldn't help but frowned, "Master Dahuang, why did you only send a clone here?"
The man smiled and said: "There is no way. The mountains are high and the roads are far away. I am afraid that I will be delayed on the way, so I can only send a clone to help. Fellow Taoists, please take a look. Is my newly learned spell good?"
Master Long Hua said curiously: "Hey, there is something strange about this incarnation. Master Dahuang has made great progress in his magic practice."
However, Master Mingyue's eyes flashed coldly, as if he saw something.
The Dahuang layman said: "I did not create this spell. I learned it secretly from a Taoist priest."
Longhua Zhenren asked: "Who has such miraculous skills?"
"It's your brother Long Wushang's new military advisor—Wang Xie. I don't know where Wang Xie came from. He's a very good master of strange sects. He even helped Long Wushang train a divine army. ', Long Wushang wanted to dominate the world because he listened to this person's instigation. ”
