At the foot of the majestic and tall Death Mountain, all the cultivators gathered together.
When they first entered the abyss, the team was integrated and numbered a hundred people. When they reunited, the number of people dropped sharply to less than sixty people. This pair of cultivators from various sects who were well prepared and ambitious to explore the ancient ruins was quite a group.
blow.
The dead mountain is nearly 10,000 feet high. The mountain is changeable, sometimes steep and sometimes gentle, steep and majestic. There are countless strange rocks and cliffs. There are waterfalls falling from the mountainside, rumbling to the sky, hitting the earth, forming a wild wave that shakes in all directions.
Powerful and shocking.
This mountain peak is also a special place on the entire Dead Island. For some reason, the intelligent indigenous creatures on the island rarely visit this mountain. Only the extremely ferocious abyss insect beasts choose to build their nests on the mountain.
When everyone first climbed Mount Death, they were attacked by a four-winged abyssal insect that looked like a centipede, was several meters long, and was as fast as lightning.
At this time, the battle was coming to an end. The ground was covered with corpses of insects and beasts. Dark green blood was dripping with it, full of pungent smell. It was scattered on the ground, making a hissing sound. The solid mountain was corroded into a honeycomb shape.
There was a cultivator who died in battle on the ground. He was contaminated by the poisonous blood and turned into nothingness in the blink of an eye.
I wish the nine-finger Duanmu system to fluctuate and sparkle, with a wisp of light golden magic light, full of agility, turning into a golden vine with bright lines, and the ability to restrain and absorb.
At this moment, the golden vine had just pierced through and sucked out the essence of a flying centipede, causing it to dry up and shrink, as if it had been burned by flames. The corpse was scattered into dry powder, and a gust of mountain wind blew in, leaving nothing behind.
After the battle, the cultivators continued their journey, going through many thorns along the way. The battles continued.
The several-foot-long horn-toothed insect has a body as if it were made of iron. Its limbs are like knives and are shining with light. Moths as big as eagles swarm in groups, and when they fly, they drop powdery poisonous venom, overwhelming the sky and the earth.
The hair on people's hair stands on end.
There are so many kinds of things that are common, and there are hundreds of insects and beasts of all kinds. Almost every few miles you go up, you will be attacked by different evil things.
Fortunately, the entire team was together at this time and was strong. Although fierce battles broke out frequently, there were few casualties.
A few hours later, everyone finally reached the top of the mountain.
By this time, there were nearly fifty cultivators in the team.
The top of the mountain is hundreds of feet wide. It is as quiet as death, without any sound, and the terrain is relatively flat. Only in the center of the top of the mountain is a dead gray stone, mottled and ancient.
According to the legend passed down by the natives of Dead Island, this stone rose up from the darkness further down the abyss countless years ago. It seems to contain some great secret in the endless depths of the abyss.
According to legend, it was forbidden by heaven. When it was born, a Taoist palace appeared on the top of the sky. Seven-color divine thunder fell from the sky, striking the stone like a heavy rain.
Finally, a giant lightning bolt nearly a hundred miles long streaked across the sky and lit up the mountains, rivers and land, shocking the whole world.
This thunder did not attack the stone directly, but struck straight into the darkness under the abyss.
Very strange.
The stone was not damaged by the seven-color divine thunder, but when the thunder struck into the dark abyss, it suddenly exploded, and only a small part remained, sitting on the top of the dead mountain for hundreds of millions of years.
After Zhu Jiu climbed to the top of the mountain, he looked at the stone that was less than a foot in size from a distance.
It is oval in shape, like an egg, and looks very primitive. The most unusual thing is that there is a gap in the center, which has been leaking dark red liquid for many years, as if it is bleeding.
This dark red liquid gathered under the stone to form a pool of blood, which was about ten feet large and never dried up. It had no smell of blood, but had a strange fragrance, which was very strange.
Zhu Jiuyin was wary of this stone and had no intention of getting close to it. In fact, there were many secret objects in the abyss, containing many evil powers, so he should be careful.
Standing on the top of Death Mountain, looking down, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Death Island. There are remains of abyssal beasts everywhere, and the aura of black death pervades the entire island.
There are places where the aura is overwhelming, and they are the places where seventh-level abyssal beasts are silent. The aura on a single corpse can destroy all things. With the current level of mana, when passing by such a location, you must go around and there is no way to get ahead.
Zhu Jiu looked in the direction of the old turtle carrying the stele. There was black air billowing there, blocking out the sky and the sun. There were shrill screams that could not be heard repeatedly. They were far away but could still be heard faintly.
According to the prior agreement, at this time, the matter of opening the ruins has nothing to do with the Abyss Cultivators and needs to be merged with other sects.
At this time, people from multiple sects gathered together, and a few leading people offered sacrifices to a palm-sized bone artifact, which looked like the remains of some kind of creature, carrying the weight of time.
Several bones joined together, roar! A beast shadow appeared in the void, shaped like an ox, but with majestic horns all over its body, burning with red flames.
As soon as the beast's shadow emerged, the broken stones in the center of the mountain suddenly began to vibrate. Below it was a pool of blood, and the dark red water turned into a surging river, all of which were swallowed up by the phantom of the alien beast in mid-air.
In an instant, the beast became real, seemed to come to life, and began to run in the air.
Its hooves, stepping on the void, are like stepping on the solid ground, making a crisp sound, and the sound reaches the ears, like a drum, beating the heart of the listener.
This kind of sound forms a secret rhyme, and when connected together, there is a faint mist that appears along with the sound.
Gradually, the mountain top became filled with mist, as if it had turned into an ancient place, with ancient destiny wafting in the air.
Suddenly, a black beast running in the void opened its mouth and howled like thunder.
This howl seemed to have triggered some kind of secret current.
Boom! The whole dead mountain rumbled, and the stone on the top of the mountain sank silently and disappeared, while the ground was splitting to both sides. The sound shook the heaven and earth, and the entire dead island trembled with it.
Everyone was stunned and retreated to avoid it.
In the end, there were repeated explosions, and the Death Mountain was completely divided into two halves, forming a bottomless canyon, like a devil's mouth, from which a torrent of death energy surged out and rushed up to the sky.
The strange beast running in the void flashed, turned around and threw itself into the bottom of the valley, disappearing.
Zhu Jiu held his body like a mountain, standing on one side of the cliff, his eyes turned into lightning, splitting the darkness, and looked towards the bottom of the canyon crack.
Zhu Jiu was slightly stunned by what he saw. When the gap opened, the air of death surged into the sky. However, when he looked down from above, he saw that the bottom of the cracked valley was filled with colorful treasure aura, and there was an auspicious glow, which was beyond his expectation.
.
On the dead island filled with boundless death energy, the mountain cracked, revealing a place filled with auspicious energy, which became more and more unusual and full of mystery.
Everyone on the side was also looking under the probe, looking at each other, and they were all surprised. Someone used the detection technique and fell into the gap. There was no obstruction all the way, and they reached the bottom smoothly.
The practitioners looked at each other and then began to fall, full of caution and caution.
During the fall, the air of death lingered at first, but as it gradually sank, the surrounding light colors changed and the colors were hazy, as if entering the paradise of cave heaven, steaming and steaming, and never encountered any danger.
The real scene at the bottom of the valley gradually emerged before everyone's eyes, causing many people to whisper.
The valley bottom covers an area of about 1,000 feet, and there is a mysterious charm lingering there. The ground is paved with a metal similar to bronze, which has existed for an unknown period of time. Even the aura emanating from it is full of simplicity.
There are countless patterns engraved on the formations on the valley floor, most of which are various rare birds and animals.
The most amazing thing is that the patterns carved out of these sacrifices actually manifest real animal shapes, just like living creatures. Their bodies are built with light, and the lines flash around the body. They are almost indistinguishable from real beasts, which is very magical.
Based on this judgment, after endless years, everything in this valley wrapped in the belly of the dead mountain seems to be running as normal without any damage, which is incredible.
After seeing the whereabouts of everyone, these strange beasts transformed from formations were still watching with vigilance, just like living creatures, which was really strange.
In the center of the valley, colorful lights soared into the sky, forming rings of light. There was a faint buzz, and the space fluctuated significantly.
Everyone knew immediately upon seeing it that the place where the colorful halo was located must be an ancient teleportation array that had been built a long time ago and was still operating as usual.
At this time, Zhu Jiu's Sea of Knowledge Heavenly List was weaved in layers of black and yellow, and line after line of writing quickly appeared:
"The layout of this valley, according to this list, seems to be vaguely related to an ancient period called the cave world. Judging from the auspiciousness of the valley wrapped in the heart of the mountain,
The original face of the entire Dead Island should be a treasure land filled with vitality and full of vitality. I don’t know what kind of changes have happened in the long passage of time, but now it is lifeless and full of weirdness."
Everyone was more than ten feet away from the valley, standing in the air. No one fell to the ground below. Huangzi was the first to speak:
"Now it seems that the colorful light in the center of the valley is undoubtedly the space transmission entrance to the ancient ruins. Which of us will go in first?"
Everyone was silent, no one would strive to be the first to face possible unknown dangers at this time.
Only Zhu Jiu's eyes flickered and he whispered to several abyss cultivators and Luo Yan. Then he suddenly walked out of the crowd, walked forward in the air, and was the first to walk towards the hazy teleportation formation eye.
‘Tsk~~~’
The strange beasts carved out by the array patterns jumped up one after another, making sounds that broke through the air, and attacked Zhu Jiu, not allowing anyone to get closer to the central teleportation array.
The attacks of these array pattern beasts seem to be a test. Only by defeating the array pattern beasts can one be qualified to enter the teleportation array.
Zhu Jiu's body shape and speed did not change at all as he was walking in the air, but suddenly there was a flash of green light beside him. A big roc appeared, fierce and fierce, its claws were extremely sharp, and in the flash of sharp light, there was a rain of swords across the sky, sealing one side.
Heaven and earth formed a sword net, and countless array beasts that attacked were strangled, disintegrated into light, and fell into the bronze array on the ground.
After a moment, the array patterns shone brightly, and these strange beasts reappeared, but they no longer attacked Zhu Jiu and allowed him to move towards the space teleportation array in the center of the valley.
When Zhu Jiu's figure was truly submerged in the layers of colorful halo, he stood in the center of the teleportation array.
This small valley was instantly filled with light, fluctuations appeared in the void, runes were like rain, colored lights cascaded, and secret rhymes continued to communicate.
As the colorful glow bloomed, Zhu Jiu's figure slowly faded and finally disappeared.
