In such a tense situation, Zhou Sheng rarely showed a smile.
There was something indescribable about this smile, and it looked like the expression a racing driver would show when pushing his car to the ultimate speed.
It seems to be excitement due to stimulation, fear due to possible danger, and victory after conquering and restraining fear.
Human nature has always been to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Whether it is pain-sensing nerves or synapses that convey fear, genes help humans avoid disasters.
But similarly, humans are also contradictory. In extremely dangerous situations, the adrenaline secreted by the body behaves exactly the same as when excited.
Zhou Sheng could feel his heart beating wildly, and the veins on his hands were beating convexly.
He was holding the Soul-Slaying Sword, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether the slight sound of the sword conveyed his nervousness or his desire to fight.
Under Zhulong's order, a large number of strange beasts quickly blocked the path forward of Zhou Sheng and the tombkeeper.
The first group has eight legs, a body like a horse, and moves very fast.
Zhou Sheng seemed to have seen an introduction to this kind of strange beast in an ancient illustrated book, but he couldn't remember the name of the other party for a while. So based on the number of its hooves, he hastily called them eight-legged beasts in his mind.
.
Eight-legged beasts obviously do not conform to the current aesthetics. Their eight legs are all very strong. Compared with their legs, their bodies appear slightly smaller and their body proportions are very uneven.
But it is precisely these eight well-developed limbs that allow them to move so fast and serve as vanguards in front of the Zhou Saint and the tombkeepers.
The eight-legged beast opened its mouth as if to spit out something, but the tombkeeper on the side performed a show in front of the eight-legged beast. What is speed!
Before anything could come out of its open mouth, a flash of silver light suddenly penetrated its throat!
Immediately afterwards, thick purple-black liquid spurted out from the eight-legged beast's throat. Obviously, this was its blood.
This eight-legged beast didn't even let out its final scream, but opened its mouth wide and slowly fell down.
Its heavy body hit the ground, raising a layer of dust.
The sudden death of the leader of the eight-legged beast obviously shocked all its kin. The eight-legged beast, which is famous for its speed, did not see the speed of the opponent's attack for the first time.
Not to mention the eight-legged beast, at that moment, even Zhou Sheng didn't see clearly the actions of the tombkeeper!
Zhou Sheng only saw the flash of the sword, and rushed towards the eight-legged beast with a fierce momentum.
When Zhou Sheng took a closer look, he already had the tombkeeper's dagger in his hand. He was not even sure whether the weapon that killed the eight-legged beast just now was this dagger.
The blade of the dagger was still as clean as ever, not stained by the disgusting blood at all.
The light of the sword is not dazzling, and the style of the short sword is also very restrained and low-key, but just from its power, it is enough to know that it is not simple.
The skin of the eight-legged beast is actually very hard, and when you cut it it feels like it is hitting a rock.
But no matter how hard the shell is, the meat inside the mouth is still soft. The gravekeeper targeted the weak point of this strange beast and was able to succeed with one blow.
While the eight-legged beasts hesitated, Zhou Sheng did not stop his movements.
He just snapped his fingers, and the land around the two people suddenly collapsed, and the terrain changed, forming a road that only two people could pass.
On both sides of the narrow road, there are two ravines.
The ravine is not very deep, but the small ingredients added at the bottom of the ravine are very abundant.
There are strong adhesives, barbed spines, and a large number of crossbows stained with poison.
If an ordinary living person fell down, he would definitely die. Even if these strange beasts have strong defenses, they would probably shed a layer of skin if they were rolled inside.
When Zhou Sheng changed the terrain, the tombkeeper had already understood his intention.
At the moment, the two of them seemed to be standing on a narrow platform. As they ran forward along the narrow platform, they knocked down the eight-legged beast that tried to pounce on them to the bottom of the pit.
This time, they finally heard the eight-legged beast's scream.
Previously, the tombkeeper acted too quickly and directly cut the eight-legged beast's throat. Now the two of them realized that the eight-legged beast's cry sounded a bit like a sheep, but it was much higher in decibels than a sheep's voice.
When the terrain changed, the eight-legged beasts reacted very quickly, either staying on the standing high platform or jumping to both ends of the ravine.
Immediately afterwards, they launched an attack on the position where Zhou Sheng and the tombkeeper were standing.
Some of the eight-legged beasts opened their big mouths and sprayed several light waves at the two of them.
If the light wave touches the ground even slightly, it can eat up most of the soil on the ground.
Once this attack falls on the foothold of Zhou Sheng and the tombkeeper, this "single-plank bridge" will definitely be destroyed!
However, Zhou Sheng successfully blocked these light waves, not only preventing the attack from landing on the ground, but also preventing it from falling on the tombkeeper.
At the same time, some other eight-legged beasts jumped up high and crossed the ravine with their strong muscles, seeming to want to pounce on Saint Zhou and the tombkeepers.
And these eight-legged beasts were stopped by the tombkeepers with their swords, or kicked down the ravine!
The two of them defended and attacked, and they cooperated very well. Before long, there were dozens of eight-legged beasts under the ravine, which were kicked down by the tomb guards.
The screams of these eight-legged beasts, superimposed together, sound very sad and slightly creepy.
However, these strange beasts could not stop Zhou Sheng and the tomb guardians.
After breaking through the encirclement of the eight-legged beasts, they encountered many different kinds of strange beasts.
Both of them resolved their problems one after another, and their speed towards the core of the mountains and seas was not even slowed down by these obstacles.
And along the way, most of what Zhou Sheng used were tricks he used when guarding the tomb.
Of course Zhou Sheng knew that these tricks were very scary for the humans who robbed the tombs, but for the powerful beasts from the mountain and sea world, their power was very bleak.
Most of the strange beasts attacked by Zhou Sheng and the tomb guardians did not lose their lives directly, but only suffered temporary damage and were unable to continue to hinder them.
If this momentum continues, once the alien beasts recuperate and come back again, Zhou Sheng and the gravekeepers will still face attacks from the entire mountain and sea world.
But for Zhou Sheng, although these methods he usually used were not very powerful against strange beasts, they were very labor-saving for him to use.
This is a protracted battle. Of course Zhou Sheng has a more powerful ultimate move, but if he uses up all his energy at the beginning, when he faces a higher-level alien beast, he will probably be able to just stare!
The gravekeeper naturally understands this truth. His attacks are always fast and accurate, and he can defeat the enemy with one move.
This also allowed him to preserve his physical strength to the maximum extent.
Right now, the two of them are getting closer and closer to the core of the mountains and seas.
With the current strength of Zhou Sheng and the tombkeeper, the ordinary evil is no match for them.
Zhulong seemed to be aware of this and directly sent the Beast Ancestor to intercept the two of them on their way.
When Zhou Sheng saw a huge nostril blowing at them from afar, he made a prompt decision and pulled the tombkeeper to change their route.
With a startling glance, Zhou Sheng could not see the whole picture of that behemoth at all, but he could already feel the terrifying aura of the other party.
His body is as stocky as an elephant, but several times larger than an elephant. There are red mesh-like threads in the folds of his skin, as if his body will fester as long as he comes into contact with that skin.
When the behemoth saw Zhou Sheng and the tomb-keepers changing their paths, they did not pursue them. They just snorted through their huge nostrils, seemingly dissatisfied.
"Too bad, they won't pursue you." Faced with this situation, Zhou Sheng's expression became more solemn.
"It seems that this battle is inevitable." The tombkeeper felt a little eager to try.
Zhou Sheng had already discovered that the tombkeeper looked indifferent and indifferent, but in fact he was a full-fledged militant in his heart.
Indulging in a battle on the verge of life and death will not only not make him feel afraid, but will stimulate his potential and make him more excited.
Of course, there was no excitement on the tombkeeper's face.
Now, walking towards the core, the two of them can reach Buzhou Mountain. And the legendary Xi soil is located in Buzhou Mountain.
Originally, Zhou Sheng wanted to lure away the beast ancestors guarding the passage and find a way to sneak into it.
But I didn't expect that with these two human prey right in front of me, the beast ancestor was actually indifferent.
He did not come to pursue them, which just means that there are other beast ancestors guarding the other roads leading to Buzhou Mountain.
It is impossible for Zhou Sheng and the tombkeeper to easily enter the core of the world of mountains and seas, so the tombkeeper will say that this battle is inevitable.
The only thing that made Zhou Sheng feel lucky was that these beast ancestors were guarded separately, so that they would not face several powerful enemies at the same time.
But Zhou Sheng didn't know that as beast ancestors, they also had their own pride.
If it weren't for Zhulong's order, it would have been impossible for the beast ancestors to take action against these humans, who they considered to be very insignificant.
Now, under the pressure of the order, although he reluctantly went out, he was unwilling to cooperate with other beast ancestors to target two tiny humans.
Scattered around the core circle, each guarding an area, this is their silent struggle.
After Zhou Sheng and the tombkeeper circled nearly ninety degrees around the core circle, the ground beneath their feet suddenly moved.
I saw that the originally intertwined ground of soil and bluestone was dyed pure black as if ink had been splashed on it.
At the same time, the ground seemed to have increased its suction force several times. It only caught the footsteps of Zhou Sheng and the tombkeeper, making it extremely difficult for the two of them to move forward.
Zhou Sheng felt like he was stepping on invisible 502 rubber, and it was so difficult to even lift his feet.
The weird black color on the ground was like countless pairs of ghost hands from hell, constantly tugging at Zhou Sheng's trousers, making him unable to walk.
Zhou Sheng simply stopped, frowned and said: "You hide under the ground and pull me, do you have any weird quirks?"
Following Zhou Sheng's mocking words, the attraction coming from the land became even greater, and the actual ground beneath their feet had a faint tendency to liquefy.
At this time, the tomb guard suddenly attacked the ground, and with the help of the reverse thrust, his body jumped up to a slightly higher stone platform nearby.
However, the strange black ink soon reached the tombkeeper's feet.
Zhou Sheng's operation was more violent. He directly cut off the ground he was standing on, whether it was sand or stones, he would chop it all in front of him.
After seeing Zhou Sheng's actions, the tombkeeper seemed to be inspired by something and began to peel the ground.
He saw the short knife flying dizzyingly in his hand, and could not see its movement at all. He could only see a few remaining blade lights and the surface of the ground that had been sliced away.
There are more and more black shavings flying in the sky. If onlookers saw this scene, they would probably think that some kind of black petals were being sprinkled in the air, forming an overwhelming scene.
The waving movements of the two men just brought up a few airflows, making the shavings fly all the time, making it difficult to lie down quietly again on the ground.
The ink color on the ground also became lighter and lighter with the movements of the two people.
"Hululu, lulu..." At this moment, a strange sound caused the two people to pause for a moment.
It sounds like a snoring sound. And it's not like a human purring sound. If you distinguish it carefully, it's more like the "purring" vibration you feel when you put a cat on your body, which is amplified several times.
Of course, they not only heard such sounds, but also felt the textured rhythm under their feet.
It was as if the black earth that Zhou Sheng and the tombkeeper were stepping on at this moment was the belly of a big cat.
Studies have shown that cats’ special vibration frequency can speed up wound healing and relax muscles.
For a moment, even Zhou Sheng was not sure whether this was his illusion. Under this shock, his whole body seemed to be greatly relaxed.
The fatigue from running all the way just now was swept away, and even the nervous mood was somewhat relaxed.
After the short "Lulu" treatment, Zhou Sheng's current condition is probably better than when he first entered the world of mountains and seas.
Not only did he look at the tombkeeper in confusion, he didn't expect that the tombkeeper actually sat cross-legged on the stone platform, quietly feeling the healing waves of this special frequency.
"Hululu... I need to sleep, please, don't disturb me..." A lazy and slow voice came from underground.
The sound was extremely low, as if it was thicker than the lowest bass on the piano. Likewise, the steady momentum in the words was also revealed.
An indescribable pressure filled the hearts of Zhou Sheng and the gravekeepers.
At the same time as the voice sounded, the black on the surrounding ground slowly faded away.
Only then did Zhou Sheng observe that the black color did not look like ink impregnation, but more like iron sand covering and penetrating evenly.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of snoring became smaller and smaller, as if it was going deeper underground again.
The shock caused by the snoring gradually dissipated, and the pressure on the hearts of Saint Zhou and the tombkeeper was completely gone.
Zhou Sheng and the tombkeeper looked at each other and took a few steps forward in disbelief.
Not only did they not encounter any further obstruction, but they could also see that the road ahead was very smooth, and there were no other guards on the road leading to the core of the mountain and sea.
"Is it a trap?" Zhou Sheng frowned, not daring to act rashly.
