All the bones in front of him were piled up in a mountain, as if they had suffered tremendous pain when they died, and their eyes were open ferociously like copper bells.
On the white sea of bones, humanoid skeletons, giant bird bones, and the remains of ferocious beasts were laid flat on the spot. A sinister aura permeated the bones, making people tremble from the soul. .
Even though it is bright today and the sun is blazing and dazzling, the bones beside the spring are still extremely cold and there is no warmth at all.
There was deathly silence, along with the ancient trees crushed by their fall. The branches and leaves penetrated through the gaps in the bones, greedily absorbing the gifts left by the bones on their bodies.
——It’s just that I don’t know why.
Su Bei felt no discomfort at all against this unbearable evil spirit. He could even feel that the sea of qi was more intimate with it than the surrounding spiritual energy.
There was a wry smile on Su Bei's lips. What was he doing? How was he any different from those evil spirits?
There was a trace of confusion in his eyes. Is this himself still himself? Has his other self also walked this road before?
The young boy who slays dragons eventually becomes an evil dragon?
Su Bei took a breath, bowed to the circle of blood-stained soil around him, and said:
"This can be regarded as your own fault."
He turned around and searched the area carefully, hoping to find any clues here.
After all, that mysterious voice told him that all this was related to the Zangtian Palace, so he would definitely not let himself bump into each other like a headless fly.
Sure enough, at the foot of the statue, Su Bei found a depression in the soil. He tentatively stretched out his hand to dig out the soil, and a piece of stone tablet leaked out.
Su Bei carefully dug out the stone tablet and found that there was a bottomless tunnel underneath. Even the sunlight could not penetrate the shadows inside. Su Bei hesitated for a moment before he stood up and stepped in.
"No wonder even the Return to the Void Hedao is extremely easy to fall in Xuanxuan Tian."
Whether it was the indescribable giant beasts last night, or the skeletons and strange phenomena seen today, they all confirmed the chaotic secret realm in Su Bei's heart.
"Since that voice calls me the Sky Mender, there is no need to plot to kill me anymore..."
Su Bei murmured to himself, both as a question and as a encouragement to himself. Anyway, he had already walked into these bones, and he must find out what was going on.
The three swords had already flown out of the sword case and surrounded Su Bei. Su Bei reached out and lit a torch, then rushed into the depths of the tunnel.
The darkness continued to swallow up the weak flames. Through the light of the fire, Su Bei saw that the walls of the tunnel were covered with murals.
It was a 'man' who walked at the front holding a flame, and behind him were his followers who surrounded him towards the highest altar.
Then he ignited the sacrificial bowl in front of him with the flame in his hand. The flames rose up, and a ray of light shone down from the sky.
Mountains are emerging, rivers and seas are rushing... Su Bei looked at the mural in front of him solemnly: "Is this telling the origin of the twenty-one states?"
The air here has a rotten smell, and the hazy black mist is constantly eroding Su Bei's body, but it is soon swallowed up by the evil energy in the body and transformed into part of the sea of qi.
"What does he mean when he calls me the one who mends the sky? Mend the sky? Which sky should I mend? What role does that Lord play in it?"
"And what is this mysterious ancient ring?"
Su Bei looked at the murals in front of him with confusion, trying to find answers in them. He kept making guesses in his mind, trying to decipher the mysteries.
Walking forward again, suddenly a harsh roar sounded. The next moment, the skeletons who were huddled next to the stone wall suddenly stood up, with two dark lights shining in their empty eyes. , holding a giant bone in hand, tremblingly walked towards the direction of Subei.
Su Bei frowned, grabbed the long sword hovering next to him, and slashed hard at the skeletons.
"Ding--"
The sound of metal and stone colliding instantly resounded in the tunnel. Su Bei's muscles tightened, his hands were numb from the shock, and he looked solemnly at the many skeleton soldiers in front of him.
Although it was just a mediocre blow, the power contained in it was probably enough to kill a Void-Returning cultivator at will.
Not only did the skeleton in front of him look normal, there was only a slight sword mark left on the skeleton.
Su Bei did not move forward recklessly, but subconsciously took a step back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he retreated from a certain area, the skeletons in front of him instantly collapsed and turned back into skeletons huddled in the corner.
"What are they guarding?" Su Bei then looked deeper into the microscopic realm.
It was a towering altar. There was a seal placed in the center of the altar, and under the seal were countless skeletons. Maybe the next moment Su Bei took a step forward, he would become invulnerable. The Skeleton Guardian.
Su Bei calmed down. If he was the chosen Sky Mender, why would these skeletons stop in front of him?
Thinking like this, Su Bei closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes were shining with the light of fire, streams of blue and dark Qi floated out of his body, and a green light radiated from his whole body.
Just as this breath filled the air, the bones on the ground actually condensed again, but this time they did not attack Su Bei, but were arranged neatly on both sides of the altar, kneeling on one knee.
On the lampstands around the altar, a blue light suddenly appeared, and then one after another, the candlesticks were constantly lit by blue fire, illuminating the dark tunnel.
The skeletons looked respectfully, as if they were welcoming their king.
Su Bei took a deep breath and walked forward. After arriving under the altar, the guardian skeletons came forward again and knelt in front of Su Bei one by one. They built a skeleton with the body of a skeleton. Stairs leading to the sacrificial altar.
Without any hesitation, Su Bei climbed up and picked up the seal.
After wiping off the dirt on it, Su Bei looked at the familiar pattern on it. It was a simple ring, exactly the same as the ones carved on the heads of the men in black that he had seen before.
On the back of the seal was engraved a line of small words: 'Initiation and Recovery.' Subei Mosuo looked at the pattern of the seal and said to himself:
"So what does this pattern represent? What is the connection between swallowing the sky and patching the sky?"
Just after Su Bei picked up the seal, the entire altar shook instantly, and the dust accumulated over thousands of years spread down like a waterfall. The next moment, a stone tablet appeared in front of Su Bei's eyes.
Through the light, Su Bei could see the pattern carved on it. The lower right corner seemed to be where he was. In addition to this marked place, there were six other places that were also marked.
And in its center, there is a temple that seems to be buried deep under a snow-capped mountain.
Su Bei didn't even think about it, and directly copied the map in front of him. If he guessed correctly, it must be the Zangtian Palace.
It seems that the purpose of my trip has a goal, which at least gives me a glimmer of hope.
After putting the seal into the storage ring, Su Bei turned around, only to find that the skeleton guardians in front of him gradually became transparent, and then turned into countless powders that also flew towards his storage ring. Come in.
Su Bei stared blankly at the scene in front of him. Could these skeleton soldiers still be summoned?
However, there was no time to test anything. Su Bei hurriedly left the tunnel and walked towards the mountain stream not far away.
——I almost forgot the purpose of this trip, which was to find the Amaevine for Yu Hongxiu. In the extremely silent mountain forest, you can occasionally hear the roars of animals.
Soon, Su Bei discovered something was wrong. He actually saw a normal spider.
Walking forward again, Su Bei discovered that it was not that he had found a normal spider, but that everything in front of him had returned to its original state.
There are no longer mountain-like beasts, dragonflies several feet in size...
Why did the creatures that I saw last night that had been enlarged countless times return to their original state one by one? It was like the bear that I killed in the cave last night.
And he's not as irritable as last night, everything is much more normal. "Is there any explanation for all this?"
Su Bei thought about it, and then found a crystal green vine hovering on the ground like a soaring snake in a low-lying area.
"Anmaivine!!"
Surprised, he slowly took out the sword box on his back and watched everything around him nervously.
There must be a guardian monster for such treasures, but I don't know what level this one is.
Just when one of Su Bei's feet stepped within ten feet of the Anmai Vine, a violent impact sounded suddenly, and the next moment a black shadow fell from the sky, raising dust all over the sky.
Through the shadows of the whirling trees, Su Bei watched with a solemn expression. He saw a green snake that was dozens of feet tall, rushing out from the bamboo forest. Its blue-red scales shone with a penetrating light, and each scale had a cattail leaf fan. That size.
The gigantic snake head looked down at him, its blood-red snake eyes emitting a fierce and cold light. The white fangs in its wide mouth opened and closed ferociously, like sharp swords.
The scarlet snake was several feet long. It was hesitating and its body was lying directly in front of Su Bei, like a blue-red embankment, blocking the way to Su Bei.
In the sky, the sound of wild geese sounded, which was the cry of countless birds that were frightened and rushed towards the sky.
Su Bei held his breath, took hold of the Qingping Sword, and with one strike brought the surging spiritual energy, he slashed towards the giant python.
boom--
The giant green shadow flipped, and the long sword that was strong enough to cut through solid iron was unable to cut through the snake scales.
The green snake revealed the snake letter and also stared at the human in front of it. The instinct of the monster told it that the human in front of it would definitely bring it a lot of danger.
Su Bei looked at the giant python in front of him, suddenly thought of something, and then took out the seal from the storage ring.
A green chaotic energy flowed into it.
The next moment, powder flew out continuously from the seal, and then condensed into skeletons, blocking Su Bei's face.
Su Bei's eyes instantly lit up. This seal really has this effect. Can these skeleton guardians be used by him?
Tentatively, he fired a stream of chaotic energy at the giant python.
The next moment, dozens of skeletons held bone clubs and waved towards the giant python.
No matter how attacked the green snake was, it remained motionless, and its body's hardness even exceeded Su Bei's imagination.
boom--
The angry giant python struggled, trying to break up the skeletons that suddenly appeared in front of it, but it was completely ineffective.
The thick scales on the body continued to withstand heavy blows again and again. "Hiss——"
The scarlet red letter spat out streaks of corrosive venom and sprinkled it on the skeleton's body, but the corrosion rate was far less than the blows from the skeletons.
Only the one-sided neighing of the green snake was left.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the two parties were entangled, Su Bei bypassed the giant python, grabbed the Anmai Vine, and then ran quickly towards the way he came.
Then he took back the seal in his hand again, and the skeletons disappeared again, leaving only the green snake roaring angrily on the spot.
Su Bei patted his chest and looked at the forest in front of him with some palpitations. This giant python is definitely at the peak of Hedao!
This place is really shocking. Monsters like this can only appear in Xuanxuan Tian. Otherwise, if one goes out at will, it may cause chaos in the entire twenty-one states.
Finally, when he returned to the cave that he had blocked with stones, Su Bei hurriedly smashed the stones into pieces and walked inside:
"Sect Master Yu, I found the Andmai Vine!" However, there was no response to the voice.
Su Bei stared blankly at the woman lying on the spot, her cheeks were pale, her breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and her face, which should have been stunning, looked haggard to the naked eye.
He suddenly panicked, and then he ran towards Yu Hongxiu as fast as he could, hugged her in his arms, supported her cheek, and said anxiously:
"Master Yu, are you okay!? Master Yu?"
The body of the woman in his arms was cold, and the blanket on her body did not give her a warm feeling. Su Bei felt as if he was holding a piece of ice.
Why did the cold wind come so suddenly?
That's right, there was no way for her to recover her spiritual energy here, and she was gone for a whole night...
While Su Bei was anxiously looking for the elixir in the storage ring, he shook the woman in his arms and pinched her chin, trying to wake her up.
Just when Su Bei's brows were furrowed and his expression became more and more solemn, a thin smile suddenly came from his ears.
As charming and enchanting as ever, she smiled so much that her branches trembled: "Giggles - I didn't expect my brother to care about my sister so much?"
"..."
Yu Hongxiu slowly opened her eyes, gently stroking Su Bei's cheek with one hand, her fox-like eyes full of tenderness.
Just stared at him carefully.
The sunlight slowly filtered in and shone in Su Bei's astonished eyes.
