Chapter 54: Entering the Secret Realm for the First Time (1)
It is vaguely visible that the towering stone pillars of the altar are densely carved with ancient symbols that are difficult to identify. The ravages of time have made them blurry.
Next to the altar, a pale withered skeleton sat upright, with its eye sockets sunken into darkness. A faint light shone on the skeleton, and the eyes seemed to have a little red light. In this quiet atmosphere, it looked even more eerie and terrifying.
..
The strange thing is that the altar is surrounded by flowers and plants, but there is no grass around the skeleton. The other bones of the skeleton have traces of wasted time, but the skull is intact and as white as jade. Under the light, it seems to shine with a little brilliance.
.
"To this day, I don't know who the deceased is." Xiao Yao pointed to the gloomy skeleton, "We were able to enter the illusion back then because a team member obtained a key thing from him."
Before Xiao Yao finished speaking, Xiao Zhan couldn't wait to check it out. He seemed very interested. Just as he was about to reach out and touch it, Nan Erming and Xiao Yao stopped him at the same time: "Wait a minute! It's poisonous!"
Xiao Yao glanced at Nan Erming and thought that this man was quite thoughtful and appreciated him a little more.
"I haven't finished speaking yet. Although the team member obtained the item that opened the illusion, he also lost his life because of it!"
"Ah!" Xiao Zhan quickly took a few steps back, soaked in sweat and feeling frightened.
Seeing that Xiao Zhan was okay, Xiao Yan spoke: "Clan leader, do you finally know how to trigger the entrance to open it?"
Xiao Yao nodded, but with a look of helplessness: "That day, the team member saw a piece of jade hanging around the skeleton's neck. He became greedy and took it off despite everyone's objections. Unexpectedly, he was injured by the poison attached to the skeleton and was instantly transformed.
It's just a pool of corpse water, and its poison is so powerful that I'm still afraid of it now that I think about it."
"It is estimated that this person also obtained the jade pendant and died of poisoning. Now I have commissioned someone to detoxify the jade pendant, but it is better not to touch the things that were touched before."
Xiao Yao said, taking out a delicate jade pendant from his arms, thinking for a moment, bypassing the front and walking towards the corner of the altar.
"It was also a coincidence that we found a groove on the altar that was similar in shape to this jade pendant. After comparing it, the illusion started."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yao had embedded the jade pendant in the groove of the altar. The sky above the altar, which had been as calm as water just now, suddenly became distorted, as if it was violently slapped and stirred by some inexplicable force, and an illusory ancient door slowly emerged.
come out.
The door is filled with the breath of time and ancient meanings. From time to time, extremely magical and almost heavenly mysterious symbols flash on it, echoing the ancient characters on the altar. An extremely bright light group permeates the middle of the door.
The space was distorted, vaguely reflecting the shadow of ruins.
What surprised everyone even more was that as the illusion opened, the surrounding space of a hundred meters was quickly covered in a shield that looked like rippling water. Ziying curiously swiped the shield with his sword, and the shield only shook slightly.
After a look, there was no damage. This should be the safe space Xiao Yao said, and everyone praised it.
"Clan leader, please wait here while we enter the illusion to look for the spirit seal moss." Xiao Yan ordered everyone to get ready. He spread his bone wings behind him and slowly rose up, with the others following behind.
Xiao Yao sighed helplessly and warned in a deep tone: "Xiao Yan, you must protect yourself, the prosperity of the Xiao clan depends on you!"
Before Xiao Yao's voice fell, Xiao Yan and others had already passed through the space gate. The silver light disappeared in the air in a flash. Between the lightning and stone fire, the illusory entrance to the illusion also disappeared. The silence above the altar returned to the previous silence, except for the space shield.
Yi Zai seems to have a mysterious connection with the illusion. Regardless of the illusion, the shield will never go away.
The shadow flashed, and Xiao Yan and others appeared in an empty space. Although they had heard Xiao Yao's description before and were mentally prepared, when they actually entered the illusion, they were still shocked by the scene in front of them.
.
In the vast and boundless wilderness, Xiao Yan and others looked far into the distance, with no end in sight. Everywhere there was a dark wind, and the grass was luxuriant. The cold wind passed through the rocks, whistling, just like the bows and arrows that were like locusts in the past, and again.
Like the wails of thousands of undead on the battlefield.
"This place looks like the ruins of an ancient battlefield, but I have never heard of such a place." In mid-air, Le Shaolong pointed to the broken wall and bricks below. Everyone looked in the direction Le Shaolong pointed.
Go, there are many ancient castles, covered with traces of swords.
"Maybe it's the site of an ancient catastrophe." Xiao Zhan speculated.
"The ruins of an ancient catastrophe?" Everyone became interested upon hearing this. As long as it is related to the ancient catastrophe, it is very likely that a heaven-defying treasure will be born.
"Haha." Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing when he saw everyone's expressions: "Let's go down and have a look. Maybe it will be as you wish."
Everyone walked through the ruins, looking for the spirit seal moss. The cold wind blew by, seeming to bring up the fierce lamentation of ancient times. Along with the sound of iron horses and fighting, it was majestic and full of tragedy.
Hot-blooded men were supposed to fight on the battlefield, and the blood in the hearts of Xiao Yan and others seemed to be aroused. Their steps were sonorous and powerful, and their fighting spirit was high.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan shuddered. Several green monsters appeared at the corner of the ruins. Their green eyes stared at everyone. Xiao Zhan took the lead and stood in front, fully alert.
"It turns out it's just a four-star peak monster." Xiao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it clearly.
Before I finished speaking, I could only hear the constant rustling and footsteps around the ruins. Dense green monsters emerged from the broken walls. From a distance, it looked like a miserable green ocean.
Feeling the powerful strength of everyone, the beasts were commotion uneasily, dripping saliva continuously flowing down, blood-red teeth shining with sharp luster, and roars coming and going one after another, which was chilling.
This beast is called the Green Spirit Beast. It is green all over and is very ugly. It has a more powerful reproductive ability than rodents. However, their physique and intelligence are the same. They are not big in size, but they are very agile.
The Green Beast is cunning and cowardly. Unless it has an absolute advantage in numbers, it will rarely attack. Now that it saw only a few people, its sense of superiority in numbers slowly overcame its fear, and it approached Xiao Yan and others step by step.
"Where did so many of these ghosts come from?" Ziying raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming to hate the green beast.
Xiao Yan and others were very confused. It was empty just now, except for a large broken city wall.
"Look there." Le Shaolong's expression changed greatly, and he pointed at the caves covered by the city wall, from which green beasts were crawling out one after another.
Wherever everyone looked, there were countless caves all over the place, and their faces suddenly darkened. Everyone was careless and fell into the circle of green beasts without even realizing it.
"Let's retreat before the encirclement is tight." Xiao Yan immediately ordered, fluttering his bone wings and flying into the air. Everyone jumped into the air, surrounded Xiao Yan in the middle, and rushed forward.
The actions of Xiao Yan and others seemed to anger the green beasts, and they wanted to escape the food they were about to get. This was an unforgivable thing in their subconscious mind.
Following the roar of a green spirit beast, the roar in the entire sea of monsters was deafening. Green spirit beasts surged forward one after another, overwhelming the sky and covering the earth like a green cloud that enveloped Xiao Yan and others.
