"It seems that there was a fierce battle in this Netherworld Mountain, with countless casualties."
He murmured in a low voice, his eyes serious.
At this time, they had reached the bottom of the mountain, and they saw a huge stone platform in front of them, about ten feet high, with many bones placed on it, their flesh and blood were blurred, and it gave off a strong stench.
Next to the stone platform, there are still several thick stone pillars standing, with iron chains wrapped around them to secure them firmly.
"Huh? That's..."
Suddenly, Zhou Yan's expression changed slightly, his eyes widened, and his gaze fell on a corpse.
It was a skeleton, trapped by chains, but it was lifelike, as if it were a living person.
He was wearing a black robe, with a sword hanging from his waist, his cheeks were sunken, his temples were gray, his hands were slender, his nails were sharp, and he was filled with a cold aura.
Click...
Suddenly, the skeleton moved, and a dark bead emerged from the chest, with carved textures on the surface and a faint red glow.
boom.....
In an instant, overwhelming murderous intent surged out, distorting the space and sweeping out like a tide, filling the entire hall.
"Hiss! What a terrifying momentum!"
Zhou Yan couldn't help but take in a breath of cold air, her soul trembled, as if she was about to collapse, and she quickly closed her eyes.
call out!
At this moment, a flash of red light burst through the air and slashed towards the skeleton in an instant, as fast as lightning and extremely sharp.
boom!
The skeleton reacted very quickly and raised its hands to resist, but was still knocked back half a step, leaving two clear marks on the ground with the soles of its feet.
Wow~~~
At the same time, the surrounding iron chains shook and made a harsh sound, which spread throughout the hall, like thousands of horses roaring in unison, making people feel uneasy.
"If you dare to destroy my body, I will fight with you."
The skeleton's mouth opened and closed, and a hoarse voice came out, filled with anger and resentment, and a pair of hollow eyes burned with blazing fire.
Hurrah!
Suddenly, wisps of flames were born out of thin air, turning into ferocious wolves, dozens of them, roaring and roaring, and rushed toward Zhou Yan.
"Damn guy!"
Zhou Yan was startled and ran away, cursing: "Old monster, don't think you can still be cruel after death. I will kill you sooner or later."
"Roar!"
A ferocious wolf howled fiercely and rushed towards him, its claws and claws shrilling with cold light, tearing through the void with cold murderous intent.
"snort!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly, and the real energy in his body surged crazily, turning into a golden dragon, entrenched around him, exuding dragon power, majestic and domineering.
Poof!
As soon as these ferocious wolves got within an inch of each other, they exploded and disappeared into wisps of blue smoke.
"Hey, why is it useless?"
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, feeling that something was wrong. According to the "Baicao Canon", this kind of ghost should be very weak.
Could it be that you are not strong enough?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan couldn't help but clench his fists, and the strong power flowed through his body, and his skin glowed with a crystal color, like glass and jade, as hard as any.
"Go to hell!"
With a loud shout, Zhou Yan rushed to the skeleton frame, waved his fist, and smashed it hard.
Bang!
The skeleton reacted very quickly. He reached out and grabbed Zhou Yan's wrist, pinched it hard, and felt severe pain in Zhou Yan's arm, almost breaking his bones.
"As expected of the Saint Martial Realm, his strength is terrifying."
Zhou Yan sweated on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and ran the Nine Revolutions of Chaos Art. All his true energy was poured into his right hand, and he suddenly exerted force.
Click, click, click!
There was a crisp sound from the wrist of the skeleton frame, as if it could not withstand the pressure and gradually cracked.
boom!
Finally, the skeleton released its grip, swayed a few times, and fell to the ground.
"Haha! Is this the strength of a strong man in the Holy Martial Realm? It's nothing more than that!"
Zhou Yan looked up to the sky and smiled, his mind turned rapidly, and he quickly thought of ways to escape.
"Little guy, there is no need to struggle. Although I am dead, your wish to escape is simply wishful thinking. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you will never escape from Netherworld Mountain."
Suddenly, a misty and melodious voice echoed in Zhou Yan's mind, containing endless information that made people dizzy.
This sound can actually disturb the spirit!
"who?"
Zhou Yan looked slightly startled and looked around, but there was nothing unusual.
"Haha, you don't have to look for it, I am the guardian of this Netherworld Mountain!"
The voice came again, elusive and without a trace, coming from nowhere and elusive.
"protector?"
Zhou Yan was secretly frightened. He originally thought that the interior of Netherworld Mountain was vast and full of secrets and dangers, so he would set up layers of checkpoints to prevent foreign enemies from intruding.
Unexpectedly, it is this kind of existence guarding Netherworld Mountain.
For a moment, he became more vigilant. He looked around carefully, pondered for a long time, and asked tentatively: "Since he is the guardian of Netherworld Mountain, why did he die here?"
"well...."
The voice sighed, with sadness and sorrow, and then slowly explained.
It turns out that Netherworld Mountain is not an ordinary mountain range, but an ancient ruin, where the holy lords and princes of the past dynasties are buried.
Over the course of history, Netherworld Mountain has encountered disasters again and again, causing serious damage and resulting in the loss of seals.
Finally, three thousand years ago, a prince came to Netherworld Mountain to seek a way to break through.
As a result, another group of powerful enemies were attracted. After a hard fight, the prince was defeated and was suppressed and killed here.
When the prince fell, he hid a token in the core area of ​​Netherworld Mountain, waiting for someone destined to take it away, thereby restoring Netherworld Mountain to its former glory.
"There is such a secret hidden in this Netherworld Mountain..."
Hearing this, Zhou Yan was shocked. It was a bit unbelievable that Netherworld Mountain was actually involved in a shocking secret, even involving powerful princes.
No wonder, as soon as he stepped into Netherworld Mountain, he noticed a familiar aura.
"Since you are the guardian of Netherworld Mountain, then you should be responsible for this matter."
Zhou Yan glanced at the skeleton.
At this time, the skeleton stood up, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
"Are you afraid, afraid that I will take away your inheritance?" Zhou Yan chuckled, showing a playful look.
"Ahem...your guess is correct, I am indeed scared."
The skeleton hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and admitted.
Netherworld Mountain is its cemetery, where its ancestors are buried. It once guarded Netherworld Mountain, so it naturally understands how terrifying the strength of those ancestors is.
Therefore, it will be suppressed here, lingering, and every twenty years, it will wake up with the help of the power of the formation to maintain the operation of the seal.
However, when it was sealed, it had already reached the holy level and had extraordinary combat power. Unfortunately, as time passed, its strength became weaker and weaker, leaving only seven percent of its peak strength.
Now, this young boy entered the mountain gate and immediately activated the formation, making it unable to continue sleeping and forced it to wake up.
"You're so scared, I won't steal your inheritance!" Zhou Yan curled his lips.
After the words fell, Zhou Yan suddenly saw a shining silver token in the hand of the skeleton, which was the treasure he had dreamed of - the Xuanhuang Stone Token.
"Well, this Xuanhuang Stone Token seems a bit strange."
