Chapter 1922, the fourth floor of the Ancient Desolate Altar
"This, this is not a stick..."
Nan Youling's surprised voice came out cautiously: "It's like a huge vertical flag."
The tassels Hao Ran saw before were exactly the tassels hanging on the edge of this vertical flag.
Qingtian looked solemnly at the strange picture on the flag in front of him, as if he was about to sink into it, and said feebly: "I'm afraid this is not an ordinary flag, but some kind of "flag" with strange characteristics.
!”
"banner?"
The three of them were startled at the same time.
All eyes glanced at the strange patterns on the flags.
In the center is a huge ferocious blood-colored eye, with pupils as deep as an endless black abyss. Looking into it seems to suck a person's soul into it.
The eyes are surrounded by countless twisted runes, which look like some ancient curse or some evil contract. The lines of these runes are slender and sharp, shining with a strange dark gold light, and they appear in the blood.
Against the background of the eyes, it looks extremely scary and makes people shudder.
On the edge of the huge banner, there is a circle of skulls of different shapes embroidered on them. They don't look like human skulls, but more like various animal skulls, some with long horns, some oval, and some flat with fangs.
Most of them are difficult to identify specifically what kind of beast they are.
When looking directly at the circle of skulls distributed along the surface of the flag, it seems that one can see black and green flames burning in the eyes of the skulls. The flames are intertwined and converged to form a strange frame on the surface of the huge flag.
On the upper part of the flag, there is a winding bone dragon pattern. The dark lines make the entire skeleton look very textured and very heavy.
The bone dragons are arranged horizontally, with their teeth and claws bared, completing the last piece of the puzzle in the strange circle of skulls.
Directly below the flag, it is in the shape of an inverted triangle, with dark golden tassels hanging down, like tears left by a devil.
On this triangular surface, embroidered is a scene of a churning sea of blood. Between the ups and downs of the blood waves, you can vaguely see countless pale and miserable skeletons floating and sinking, just like purgatory.
As this strange flag appeared, everyone clearly realized that the aura that had been pinched by adhesions did not come from the stone wall, but from this flag.
At this moment, they seemed to have countless invisible and intangible threads on their bodies, tightly connected to the flag in front of them.
"Brother Bai~ Why can't I move!"
Nan Youling's frightened voice came out, her face was pale, and her body was trembling uncontrollably under the influence of the evil flag.
Qingtian's face was solemn, and drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "I was also suppressed."
Although it is not impossible to move at all, it is difficult to move too much. It is like an ordinary person being suddenly pressed down by a huge boulder, and it becomes extremely difficult to move.
Tang Yuan was stunned: "I'm fine~ I even seem to be more relaxed than just now."
Lu Feng also said: "I'm the same, I feel like I can break free of this adhesion at any time."
Qingtian and Nan Youling were startled at the same time. Because they could not move much, they couldn't help but glance at Lu Feng and Lu Feng from the corner of their eyes, their eyes full of puzzlement and surprise.
Under the terrifying aura of the evil flag, why were they the only ones affected?
Qingtian suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed solemnly.
Nan Youling also realized something at this time and said in surprise: "Brother Bai, could this evil flag only affect us real dragons? Could it be a certain type of equipment specially used to deal with our dragon clan?"
"Could it be that Uncle Bai and the others encountered such a terrifying existence back then?"
Qingtian looked suspicious. Thinking of his parents' posture of kneeling and praying, he vaguely felt that the danger in front of him was not enough to force them to that point.
As far as the current oppression is concerned, if he uses secret techniques and shows his full strength, he is still certain to be able to break free.
Just thinking about it.
The countless dragons that were hovering around the evil flag suddenly burrowed into the evil flag one after another, and disappeared into the bloody pupil in the center.
In an instant, the blood pupils glowed with red light, and the dark golden lines around them began to rotate. The strange skulls on the border emitted streams of ghostly fire, converging into the bone dragon pattern lying directly above.
boom!
A terrifying pressure that was more than ten times stronger than before suddenly came down.
Well!
Nan Youling groaned, and felt that even her breathing seemed to be suppressed, and it became extremely difficult to breathe.
His eyes were full of fear and help, but he couldn't utter a single word.
A shadow emerged from the body and slowly moved towards the evil banner.
That's... Nan Youling's dragon soul!
The dragon soul leaves the body, and the body dies and the Tao disappears!
Qingtian's eyes widened and he looked at this scene in shock. The words "soul-inducing flag" mentioned in ancient books suddenly came to mind.
"Quickly stop this evil flag from summoning!"
Qingtian shouted to Lu Feng and Tang Yuan almost in supplication.
Lu Feng and Tang Yuan stepped forward at the same time, ready to bombard the evil banner.
Two dragon clouds suddenly emerged from the blood pupil in the center of the evil flag, and transformed into two giant dragons directly in front of the two of them, roaring with ferocious soul sounds.
This scene made Lu Feng subconsciously think of the Immortal Invitation Formation...
Although the two dragon clouds that appeared in front of them were remnant souls, the condensed form of the real dragon was exactly the same as that of a real, ferocious real dragon that was actually alive.
The angry dragon opened its mouth, and the terrifying dragon breath spurted out instantly.
Lu Feng and Tang Yuan were unable to dodge and were blown away. Their bodies were invariably covered in a layer of sticky black smoke. The black smoke billowed and ignited, gradually growing into black flames.
'This is……'
Their pupils suddenly shrank, feeling horrified.
'Dragon Flame!'
'Dragon Soul Fire!'
Not daring to hesitate at all, the two of them quickly resisted and tried their best to offset the erosion caused by the dragon's flame adhesion.
With their strength not reaching the Heavenly Soul Realm, they don't have much ability to deal with the soul fire offensive at this level of soul.
Qingtian looked at this scene in horror, his heart filled with despair. The ferocity and terror of the soul-guiding flag far exceeded his imagination. The previous breath attack also interrupted his desperate attempt to cast the secret technique.
With a sudden movement of Qingtian's breath, he was entangled by two dragon essences. Between the twists, the dragon soul was squeezed out of the body, followed by Nan Youling's dragon soul and led towards the evil banner.
'Even if I die, I must protect Xiao Ling'er!'
A flash of determination flashed in Qingtian's eyes. The secret method had been interrupted before. In addition to being attacked by Long Yun, the bigger reason was that he was afraid that his terrifying explosive attack would hurt Nan Youling's free dragon soul.
This seemed to be something he didn't want to see.
At this moment, the dragon soul left the body. If he could use his own dragon soul as a sacrifice to cut off the adhesions on Nan Youling's body before being summoned to the banner, and allow her to return to herself in time, there would still be a chance of survival.
This was Qingtian's hasty plan at the critical moment, and the reason why he gave up resistance and was easily forced out of the dragon soul by the two dragon clouds.
Think about it.
Back then, my parents were faced with such dangers, and they should have been able to fight against them. However, they were afraid of affecting the storage of the dragon blood essence, so they just chose to be soft and pray.
At the last moment when Qingtian was preparing to make a desperate move.
The huge evil flag suddenly trembled violently, as if it sensed something terrible.
Qingtian suddenly turned around and saw that while Lu Feng calmed down Long Yan and stood up slowly, there was a small altar-like object in his palm.
"Boy!"
Qingtian's eyes lit up, and he glanced at Lu Feng resolutely, with a bit of trust, "Xiao Ling'er and I leave our lives to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he led Nan Youling's dragon soul with his own dragon soul and rushed into the blood pupil in the center of the evil banner.
Tang Yuan came back to his senses, looked at this sudden scene in shock, and looked at Lu Feng blankly, "Old Lu, what's going on? Have they been devoured by dragon souls?"
Lu Feng's face was solemn, with a bit of embarrassment. He understood that Qingtian's final look of determination was filled with trust. That trust came from the relationship between Lao Mu and the Ancient Desolate Altar in his hand.
But...he doesn't know how to resolve the current situation!
He did not take out the Ancient Desolate Altar on his own initiative, but flew out of the Qilin Ring on his own initiative.
Tang Yuan said in surprise: "This evil flag seems to be a little afraid of the ancient altar in your hand? Try to refine it quickly? Then release their dragon souls."
Lu Feng raised the Ancient Desolate Altar in embarrassment. He was about to say that he didn't know the specific refining method, but he saw the Ancient Desolate Altar suddenly transformed into a giant statue, and then sat in front of the two of them.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that whether it is the bloody war corpse, the soul corpse or the Tianyu Qijing, it is not the result of his active control of the refining of the Ancient Desolate Altar, but the spontaneous convergence of the latter.
Lu Feng's eyes were fixed on the stone plates piled up layer by layer on the ancient desert altar, with one layer of war corpses, two layers of souls, and five layers of Tianyu's strange spirits. He didn't know which layer the strange phenomenon would be caused by at this moment.
Depressed!
A low and thick sound of turning and friction came out.
Four floors!
Lu Feng watched the stone plate belonging to the fourth floor of the Ancient Desolate Altar slowly rotating, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It would be good if it can be refined and converged.
But soon.
Vision reborn.
As the evil flag trembled violently under the influence of the Ancient Desolate Altar, the blood pupil in the center of it began to blink rapidly, as if twitching, looking indescribably weird and terrifying.
In a moment of surprise.
Above the banner, a circle of skulls forming a frame flew out one after another and hung in the outer circle of the entire evil banner.
Although these skeletons have different shapes, each one is lit with a faint green fire while suspended;
As they are arranged, the green fires are connected to each other, forming a "block three and leave one" frame.
"Look~" Tang Yuan was surprised.
The dragon souls of Qingtian and Nan Youling also flew out of the evil flags at this moment, but they seemed to have lost consciousness. They were attracted by the green fire and wandered in the circle of skeletons.
What finally came out was the skeletal dragon lying horizontally on the upper half of the evil flag. It was also burning with green fire. It slowly floated to the top of the skeleton frame, blocking the gap and completely trapping the dragon souls of Qingtian and Qingtian.
within the border.
"No!" Lu Feng saw that the two dragon souls were about to be led to the bone dragon and be swallowed up. He subconsciously exclaimed, and his spiritual energy rushed towards the frame almost instinctively, trying to stop everything.
I don't know whether it was because of his call or because of his spiritual energy. The bone dragon that was tightly closed in the frame actually raised its head slightly and took the initiative to break open a corner.
Immediately, the dragon souls of Qingtian and Nan Youling slowly floated out from the gap.
After staying a certain distance away from the evil flag, the two of them suddenly trembled at the same time.
Then they all drilled back towards the main body.
Tang Yuan looked at this scene in surprise and said happily: "Old Lu, can you control this evil flag?"
Lu Feng shook his head dully, a little confused, and carefully used his spiritual energy to explore the newly enclosed skeleton frame again to see if he could really control it.
Suddenly, the moment he came into contact with a skull with a 'cow head' symbol on it.
In the frame, a black shadow instantly appeared, and in his horrified gaze, a huge bull with black flames all over its body rushed towards him.
Lu Feng retreated in panic.
But the moment he was about to retreat far enough, an obscure aura suddenly enveloped him from the Ancient Desolate Altar, hindering his escape.
The next moment, the rushing figure of the Black Flame Barbarian suddenly froze and stopped two meters away from Lu Feng.
A black light, like a long needle, fell from the sky and penetrated the head of the Black Flame Bull at a speed that was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.
Before Lu Feng could fully recover, the black flame beast suddenly dissipated and turned into ashes.
"What's going on!?"
Tang Yuan was stunned. He rushed to the rescue room and saw clearly that this scene was not Lu Feng's initiative.
Depressed!
The turning sound of the ancient desert altar slowly stopped at this time.
The blood pupil above the evil flag also stopped blinking rapidly at this time, and was frozen there.
The frame composed of floating skeletons began to collapse, and one after another, the skulls were burning with green fire and ran back to the banner.
In an instant, everything fell silent again.
It's like nothing happened.
The dark flagpole on top of the evil flag began to rotate at this time. With the regular restoration of the dark gold lines on the flag surface, the entire flag surface began to slowly gather and roll up, returning to the time when it first appeared, tightly wrapped with a long black stick.
appearance.
sieve!
After being completely retracted, the entire stick body shot like an arrow into the fourth layer of space of the Ancient Desolate Altar.
Lu Feng looked at this scene in astonishment, stepped closer, and carefully sensed the fourth layer of stone plates.
Soon, a clear picture came back to my mind.
At this moment, in the quiet and empty fourth floor space, the evil flag stood quietly in the shape of a stick. Following his induction, the evil flag instantly stretched and hung like before, hanging in the air, in the darkness.
In the middle, that bloody pupil looks extremely ancient and profound.
The dark gold lines on the flag seem to be much deeper, and the black-green light glowing on the countless skeletons framed around them is also much richer.
Just as he was sensing it, Lu Feng's soul sea suddenly felt a stinging pain like a needle.
The next moment, the evil flag in the ancient desert altar returned to its bound stick-like form, and his senses were cut off.
"Huh~"
Lu Feng took a deep breath in fear. In just this moment, he realized that his soul power was almost on the verge of being overdrawn.
Tang Yuan quickly stepped forward and supported the staggering Lu Feng. He was deeply shocked when he felt how weak the latter was at this moment.
"Are we...still alive?"
Nan Youling murmured with panic, and then came Yuyou.
