Chapter 386 'The Game of the Ancestral Gods' The Reincarnation of Misfortune
Jiang Qian and his party continued to move forward.
The content displayed in the next group of murals seems to be a continuation of the previous group, and is larger in scale:
The evil ghosts were raging and were suppressed by humans. The ghost king led his followers to fight, and tore apart, devoured, and corrupted most of the suppressors.
This time, before Jiang Qian could speak, Sha Jin couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Isn't that right? These guys...really mean the Holy Mountain Organization? They look like evil ghosts coming out of hell!"
"Does the great ghost king here refer to the ancestral god of the sacred mountain?"
Elegy couldn't help but join in the discussion, and showed obvious confusion: "If these incidents are related to the Holy Mountain Organization, why have I never heard of it..."
Jiang Qian was not in a hurry to find the answer. A series of new information was unfolding before his eyes. What he needed to do was to integrate the contents of one group of murals and try to deduce the causal connection among them.
Several people stepped forward and came to the third group of murals.
This set of murals is very long, and its beginning contrasts with the end of the previous set of murals:
The group of ghosts defeated most of the human suppressors, leaving only two people standing; to be precise, two men.
The two men and the ghosts started a war again. Not only did they have to face the powerful ghost king and his supporters, but even their corrupted human compatriots turned into ghosts and fought against each other!
However, the plot of the mural gradually became more exciting: the disparity in combat power forced the two to fight more and more bravely, causing turmoil in the world, mountains collapsing, thunderclouds rolling, and dangers everywhere...
Even if Jiang Qian and others looked at the pictures in the murals, they could already imagine the difficulties and dangers involved.
But when the battle reached its peak, one of them released four snake beasts to surround the Ghost King, and the other split open the peak and built a cage. The two of them worked together to lure the Ghost King into it and suppress it at the bottom of the mountain.
Only then did this cruel battle end.
This group of murals also ends here.
Jiang Qian looked at the two people who fought to the end, trying to identify the effective features through those simple lines, but he could only roughly judge that one was wearing ethnic minority clothing, and the other was wearing regular mountaineering clothing.
Who are these two people, and what is their relationship with the sacred mountain?
Does the ghost king suppressed at the bottom of the mountain refer to the "ancestral god"...
Jiang Qian stared at the familiar domed building at the end of the mural, and some of his questions had been answered.
"What on earth...are you showing us?" Sha Jin frowned and sweat appeared on his forehead.
Elegy's breathing became more rapid, reminding: "Look, there are more behind!"
With that said, Sha Jin and Sha Jin quickly walked to the next group of murals!
They seemed eager to verify something.
Only Ayiguli followed Jiang Qian all the time, and she was strangely silent the whole time.
"Aren't you in a hurry to see it?" Jiang Qian noticed something unusual about Ayiguli.
However, Ayiguli seemed not to hear Jiang Qian's voice. After a while, she raised her hand tremblingly, held Jiang Qian's arm with a slightly stiff movement, and whispered -
"The reincarnation of misfortune will soon wake up..."
"?"
Jiang Qian's eyes were focused. Although this experience was very subtle, he could still read a restrained "fear" from Aiguli's expression and body movements:
"What are you afraid of?"
However, at this time, an elegy and Sha Jin's exclamation came from the front:
"How could this happen?!"
"Sure enough, it seems that those evil spirits are referring to..."
"What is it?" Jiang Qian pulled up Ayiguli, and the two quickly came to Sha Jin and Elegy, looking at the mural intently.
The stunned Sha Jin swallowed, pointed to the end of the mural, and said in a deep voice: "Holy Mother, Lord Protector..."
The murals continue the content of the previous group:
The Ghost King was sealed, and the four snakes turned into cards, fixed on the walls of the dome cage, and together with them, they were sealed at the bottom of the mountain! After everything returned to calm, the vision returned to the cruel battlefield after the fierce battle.
The group of ghosts has fallen to the ground, but there are still a few supporters of the Ghost King surviving. Their images are magnified and displayed, including the faces of children; the other part are the corrupted "human suppressors", they are still alive, but they have already
Losing human characteristics, he extended a helping hand to the two "heroes" who had just left the battlefield...
The entire mural ends abruptly here.
Where Sha Jin pointed was the last messy battlefield.
"Sha Jin, what did you see?" Jiang Qian asked repeatedly at the critical moment.
The elegiac singer clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "Although I'm not completely sure, that woman and the old man... I think they are the Virgin and the Python old woman!"
As soon as this statement came out, even Elegy showed a surprised look, and it seemed that his judgment was confirmed by Sha Jin's words!
She subconsciously approached the mural, climbed up the scroll with her fingers, and pointed at one of the "Suppressors of Humanity". He was a tall, thin man with a stooped back, and he was also stretching his hands towards the two returnees from the victory.
"So, that's what happened, right? The ghost king is the ancestral god... Those remaining ghosts are us..." There was a bit of self-mockery on Sha Jin's lips.
Combining all the currently known information, Jiang Qian's thoughts swirled in his mind:
The four snake cards are not an extension of the power of the ancestral gods. The four snakes are tools used to seal the ancestral gods! Therefore, the battle for the crown prince and the integration of cards may not be intended to pass on the "power of the ancestral gods", but to pass on the power of sealing the ancestral gods?
!
That’s why the ancestors intervened in the competition during the process.
If this idea is correct, then many of the previous doubts can be explained:
The cage-like dome building where they are now is actually the "prison" of the ancestral gods. The illusion of the sacred mountain itself can also be extended to be understood as a regular space used to restrain the power of the ancestral gods.
In this space, the power of the ancestral gods will be limited. It is like a huge chessboard. The game can only continue if certain rules are followed.
As for who shaped this space?
According to the rules of the super species world: in the evolutionary copy, card holders who have won two MVPs will have the authority to create a private copy once; and all six-state·concept body priest card holders have the right to build their own
Permissions and abilities for private copies!
Thinking of this, Jiang Qian once again looked at the two victorious returnees in the painting.
Judging from the power these two people have shown in the mural content, their identity as six-state priests is almost certain.
So the question returns: What are the identities of these two people wearing different clothes?
Assuming that as Sha Jin and Elegy said, among the corrupted "human suppressors" there are figures similar to the current Holy Mountain Virgin and the two guardians, does that mean that something unexpected has happened to the two returnees from the victory?
Judging from the abnormal events experienced by Sha Jin, Elegy, and Ayiguli, the power of the ancestral gods is still lingering in this world, which shows that the seal is not completely complete.
If someone wants to take the opportunity to release the power of the ancestral gods and make a breakthrough from the four sealed beasts, it is indeed a good idea.
…
"I know, that's what it is!"
Sha Jin's voice was excited, and sweat was dripping down his temples:
"The prince who survives the competition will not get the power of the so-called ancestor gods. What the prince will get is the combined power of the four snake beasts, which is equivalent to the key to unlocking the seal of the ancestor gods!"
"And this key is also subject to the control of the Key Gu and the Lock Gu. The Key Gu and the Lock Gu are controlled by the Mother King Gu. The Mother King Gu is in the hands of the Holy Mother. It can be seen that the crown prince who wins in the end will only become the Holy Mother.
A tool to control and release the power of the ancestral gods... We have all been tricked. This battle for the crown prince was originally a scam..."
Sha Jin's words were like thunder, striking his already shaken heart.
At this point, everyone's breathing became extremely heavy.
Including Jiang Qian:
"Sha Jin, how high a temperature can your Beastmaster withstand?"
These words finally woke up the three of them. All their attention had previously been focused on the murals. The space they were in was heating up rapidly, reaching an unbearable level.
Elegy frowned: "This space is still heating up. I've run out of defense items. It's not good..."
"My mimic hourglass has the function of carrying people. Entering the hourglass can block the invasion of high temperature!" Sha Jin said, taking out the mimic hourglass that was used to deal with Jiang Qian.
"coming!"
Before it was too late, at the end of the long corridor where the three of them were walking, fire suddenly reached the top!
The dark red lava visible to the naked eye spurted out from the end and quickly rushed towards Jiang Qian and the others.
Jiang Qian made a quick decision: "Enter the mimicry hourglass!"
As the words fell, Sha Jin activated the props, and the magma sprayed on the four people froze in the air. The environment around the four people quickly changed, and they fell into a soft and dry sand.
"What a close call." Elegy said with lingering fear.
Sha Jin was also secretly shocked and looked at Jiang Qian silently.
The speed at which the temperature was rising just now, coupled with the torrent of hot magma, could make them pay the price in an instant if they reacted a little slower.
However, Jiang Qian always seemed to be highly alert to the overall situation, as if he could see what was happening dozens of meters away.
Is that the strength that comes from fusing three mythical beast cards? If the fusion of the "Snake Transformation" card is successfully completed, this person will be the ultimate weapon to unlock the power of the ancestral gods... Sha Jin couldn't help but think.
At this time, the dust had settled and Jiang Qian was paying attention to Aiguli who was in an abnormal state.
This sacred mountain saint, known for her cruelty, was clinging to Jiang Qian's side like a bird, holding his arm tightly with both hands. Although she didn't say a word, she showed extreme uneasiness.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Qian looked down at her.
"I feel the cycle of misfortune..." Ayiguli whispered slowly, raised her cheek, and stared at Jiang Qian with her purple starry eyes, "It will end here with us."
"?"
Before they finished speaking, the sand where the four of them were was suddenly shook violently!
The mimetic hourglass seems to be being collided by an external force.
"Shajin?"
"Don't worry! This mimicry hourglass is an improved prop of Our Lady. No matter how high the temperature is, it cannot be destroyed. Just stay in it with peace of mind."
Sha Jin said this with confidence.
The reason why the Shenshan Organization has been able to retreat repeatedly from all its dealings with all parties is closely related to its powerful and strange prop resources.
However, the turmoil did not end.
While the four of them worked hard to maintain their balance, they also avoided getting too far away from the other three, and always stayed within each other's sight.
Until Jiang Qian spoke again: "Although it is strange, there is no doubt that we are moving towards the center of the dome palace."
"Do you know we are moving?" Sha Jin couldn't help but ask this time.
Jiang Qian did not sell the lawsuit: "I left the surveillance equipment outside."
Just like the first time he faced the mimetic hourglass, Jiang Qian had already placed the Beidou button camera outside to determine his situation.
There was another round of turmoil, and everyone was forced to leave their original positions. Ayiguli even ran into Jiang Qian's arms.
"What's going on outside now?" Elegy spread its wings and soared into the sky.
Jiang Qian also spread his wings, held Aiguli away from the continuously shaking ground, and said to the three of them: "It's not good, there is an ambush, and the mimic hourglass will not be able to hold on."
"How is that possible?" Sha Jin found it hard to believe.
The next second, three colors of light and shadow flashed, and the upgraded version of the Snake Beast King suddenly appeared!
…
The hot flow of lava continued to roll toward the center, and the simulated hourglass drifted with the extremely high-temperature magma. The magma repeatedly washed away the outside of the hourglass, and the temperature rose higher and higher. The hourglass carrying four people infinitely approached the critical state.
As the temperature continued to rise rapidly, the Beidou button camera that had been following the flow of the hourglass finally burst and melted under the high temperature - the extreme high temperature was enough to destroy everything, even part of the props of the powerful!
But that's not the worst.
Until the temperature on the surface of the simulated hourglass reaches its peak, and it is also pushed to the center of the domed palace... In an instant, the temperature drops sharply!
It only took a moment to go from extremely high temperature to like falling into an ice cave.
…
"Don't use Qianlong, come out quickly~"
The young voice of a child came from the depths of the cold cave, accompanied by faint laughter.
Then, cracks quickly appeared on the surface of the extremely solid mimic hourglass, and the cracks radiated rapidly like a spider web... Finally, it exploded!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A dazzling brilliance bloomed from the crack, and the snake beast king appeared at the junction of the two heavens of ice and fire like a roc with its wings spread out.
Keep this extreme situation of ice and fire in mind.
"Ice coffin! Close!"
Deep in the dark cold cave, a young child's voice recited cruel formulas.
The "giant transparent box" that had been laid out quickly closed, like a giant coffin, completely sealing the Snake Beast King inside!
As the coffin door closed, frost quickly formed on the body of the snake king trapped inside, spreading and thickening until the lively beast king was completely frozen.
"Hahaha... beautiful, beautiful!"
The childish voice keeps laughing:
"This ice coffin is indeed Our Lady's most proud work! Even such a majestic beast can't escape disaster. Hahaha, it's a pity but also wonderful!"
The laughter gradually subsided, and a figure emerged from the darkness. It was the holder of the Snake Card wearing silver armor—Gui Tong!
On both sides of the strange boy, the other two Holy Mountain Envoys wearing the same type of armor also walked out silently, looking up at the huge ice coffin that firmly fixed the Snake Beast King, and sighed in their hearts.
It was the first time for An Yelangjun and Water Ghost to see a mythical beast of such size.
The three cards are combined into one. The current body shape and domineering power of the snake has already surpassed that of the ordinary beast king, so the extreme high temperature and cold will not pose a threat to it.
"Can this ice coffin work?" The water ghost looked up at the mandible of the snake, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
"Is it possible? Hey, the ice coffin you see is no longer a simple sealing prop. After the improvement of the Holy Mother, it also has the property of devouring life force! Any living body is trapped by this ice coffin, except for extremely cold ones.
Torture will also cause a loss of life energy."
The weird boy smiled innocently:
"The stronger the vitality, the faster it is lost. Look, everyone is reaching their limit~ But even if they come out, they will not get any benefits. In this hell of ice and fire, except for the Virgin Mother's specially made dragon scale armor, no one can use it.
I want to hold on for three minutes."
Saying that, he retreated lightly!
Water Ghost and An Yelangjun also retreated...
The severe cold swept from the sides of the three of them, but it could not take away their body temperature. The dragon scale armor isolated the severe cold and heat here.
The ice surface on which the snake was frozen inside the ice coffin began to tremble and crack.
Then, the inside exploded!
The giant snake beast struggled fiercely and violently, accompanied by continuous sounds. The sound of rocking rock stirred up the intertwined lava and cold currents, pushing everything further!
"What kind of terrifying power is this?!" The water ghost was shocked.
Until the ice coffin, which had just been highly praised by the weird boy, completely cracked, collapsed, and collapsed!
The frostbitten Snake King escaped from the lava bathing in the lava. His sharp claws suddenly hit the ground with the help of his huge body, causing a tremor and cracks that had never been seen before on the entire ground.
The three of them looked at the crazy beast king in horror. Even the weird boy who had absolute resource advantage gradually changed his expression:
"Qianlong, don't use this bastard, does he want to destroy this place?!"
…
Jiang Qian, who was inside the cavity, raised the corners of his mouth:
"Everyone, are you ready?"
At this moment, the sound wave released vertically by the Snake Beast King successfully penetrated the bottom of the dome palace, tearing a huge gap in the "Hell of Ice and Fire".
