Chapter Thirteen, Mingshan's Speculation
Bang!
Su Chen fell heavily to the ground, and the national teacher who was pitted by him fell lightly to the ground.
He stood up with difficulty, rubbed his chest softly, glad that he had worn armor, otherwise he would have to be broken.
“Where is this place?”
The world in front of them was pitch black, but the echo of their speech made them realize that there should be an empty space ahead.
The only light was the big hole above their heads, where they slid down.
The national master reached out and gestured above his head, and suddenly a series of ice cubes appeared in an orderly manner. The earliest piece was suspended directly under the big hole, like a mirror refracting the faint light to one side. The second ice cube appeared, carrying the refracted light, and then refracted continuously, and the originally faint light became brighter.
At this time, they finally saw the true face of the cave.
This is not a cave, but an interior of a magnificent building. Various strange reliefs are engraved on the walls around it, and some ancient lampstands are also present.
The ground is paved with flat rocks, and the space is very vast, like a square.
In the center of the square, a circular countertop is raised. The texture of the countertop is different from that of the ground, not like rocks, but more like metal.
Su Chen and the others looked around curiously, and unknowingly leaned near the round platform.
When they got closer, they discovered that a pattern of flame was printed in the center of the round table.
“Where is this?”
Su Chen couldn't help speaking again. He just wanted to express his doubts in his heart, and did not hope that the national master could answer, because he was confused when he saw the national master's expression.
"It seems that what is recorded in ancient books is true."
The national teacher stroked the round platform and said to himself.
Su Chen was even more curious now. Xue Yao, the ancient book she mentioned, had also said that Xue Yao only said the beginning at that time. As soon as he aroused his curiosity, he was interrupted later.
"You said the same thing, what exactly is recorded in ancient books?"
The national teacher continued to observe around him, and was also answering Su Chen's questions.
"In ancient books, Mingshan was once the territory of the ancient Fire Kingdom. Later, a war broke out. It turned into a sea of fire and burned for hundreds of years, so a charred scene appeared. The ancient books did not record what Mingshan was, but when I saw this, I now understand that the so-called black mountain was the appearance of the palace of the Fire Kingdom after being burned. After thousands of years of sea changes, the palace was covered with a layer of rock coat, so it became what it is today."
Su Chen suddenly realized and speculated: "The vault that the villagers found at the foot of the mountain was the vault of the Fire Country back then, and we entered this palace in different directions."
The national teacher nodded.
"Then why do the four major countries say that this is an ominous place? If they come in and mine, they will definitely gain a lot."
"You don't know all this. The ancestors of the four major countries once speculated that there was a barrier under the black soil, and various powerful monsters were imprisoned. They were suppressed by the Kingdom of Fire. After the Kingdom of Fire was destroyed, the barrier was loosened, and the monsters began to fight each other. Every few hundred years, a new beast king would be born in the fight. The beast king would rush out when the barrier was most vulnerable and began to massacre. This is the reason for every riot in Mingshan. There was a riot in history, and a very terrifying beast king was born. At that time, it was the Jin Dynasty's preservation period. The Jin Dynasty was greatly injured and almost destroyed the country. Thanks to the sword sect's action, it killed the beast king, and the sword sect became the most powerful force on the continent."
Su Chen was frightened when he heard this. There was a battlefield of monsters under his feet. There might be a fight at this moment. Imagine the bloody scenes of countless monsters like giant lizards fighting together.
Thinking of this, Su Chen was suddenly shocked and asked: "You said that only one beast king will be born every few hundred years, but we met two this time!"
However, the national master had already discovered this point. She looked solemn and continued to say: "When the black dragon appeared, I realized that according to the ancestors, the bloodline of the monsters underground became weaker and weaker. Even if a new king was born, it would be much weaker than the one in the Jin Kingdom at that time. The giant lizard was in line with the strength of the new beast king, but the black dragon was very terrifying. I think its strength is not weaker than the one in the Jin Kingdom."
Su Chen recalled the scenes of the previous battle. Although the giant lizard was terrifying, the national guru could still resist it. However, he was chased by the black dragon and was completely defeated and could only escape. The difference in strength was indeed huge.
"Then why are there two beast kings? The black dragon is so terrible, will the Frost Kingdom suffer!"
The national master sneered and said, "You should take good care of yourself. Someone will worry about the safety of the Shuang Kingdom. Just stop causing trouble for me. After I hand you over to Xueyao, we will never have any intersection in the future."
After saying that, the national master turned around and was about to leave. At this moment, the round platform suddenly opened from the middle, and a fire dragon hovered out and attacked the national master.
Su Chen was close to him and saw it clearly. He found that the national master could not notice it immediately, so he rushed over and pushed her away.
"careful!"
Waiting for the national master to react, he only saw the fire dragon entangled Su Chen and pulled it into the round platform.
The round platform quickly reunited, everything returned to peace, as if nothing had happened.
It took a long time before Su Chen opened his eyes again.
I found myself embedded in a human-shaped stone tablet and could not move all over.
The stone tablet is flat. Just above the stone tablet, a cherry-sized fiery red bead is suspended. The beads look smooth and round on the outside, but inside it is like a volcano erupting and sparks are splashing everywhere.
Su Chen found that the strange bead was slowly landing, and the direction of landing was his mouth!
He realized that something was wrong and struggled wildly, but it was useless and could only close his mouth.
The beads were getting closer and closer to him, and with a burning breath, Su Chen was so nervous that he could not breathe.
He thought he could not open his mouth stubbornly, but found that the scorching breath forced him to breathe, otherwise he would feel that he was about to burn.
After the red beads entered the mouth, it was a little different from what he imagined. He thought his mouth would immediately burn and melt, but on the contrary, the scorching breath just now began to weaken.
After the red beads entered his body smoothly along his throat, he felt his whole body smooth.
At the same time, I found that I could move, so I immediately sat up.
At this time, a thick fiery red vine lingered in his arms and his whole body. The vine shimmered and did not look like a real object. He reached out to touch it, but since it appeared, Su Chen felt that blood flowing in his body was more comfortable.
After a while, the fiery red vine began to shrink into the body and disappeared on the surface in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Su Chen felt that the blood circulation was not so smooth, as if a rope had strangled the tendons and veins.
After adapting for a while, the feeling completely disappeared and he returned to normal.
At this time, he stood up and observed the surroundings and found that Zizi was lying on another round platform. The surrounding decorations looked like the altar depicted in a book. Various sacrificial instruments were placed around the round platform, and various strange patterns were also engraved on the stone tablet.
He hurriedly got up, walked down the round platform, and found a long narrow staircase walkway ahead, and it was the only walkway.
Since there was no choice, he had to walk in.
