The trunk of the tree shook even more violently. Even this incredibly towering tree seemed to be trembling under the huge body of the Black Water Black Snake.
Seemingly like an evil beast from eternity, the Blackwater Black Snake wraps its huge snake body around the tree trunk. Wherever it passes, the branches and leaves are in a mess, and the vines and flowers are withered and broken. It moves forward with its head and tail swaying.
, the humans in front of it are like ants at this moment, not worth mentioning.
Lu Xueqi's face looked slightly pale. She took a step forward, her eyes still staring at the ancient giant beast that was getting closer and closer. She whispered to Zeng beside her: "What's going on?"
Zeng saw sweat on his forehead and said: "When we were down there just now, we suddenly encountered this terrible beast. Of course, with our little skills, we could only run away. But at that time, it didn't seem to care about us and was just looking for us.
What, he left quickly, but I didn’t expect it to actually climb up."
Everyone looked at each other in shock. Although everyone present was an accomplished cultivator, far from being comparable to ordinary people in the world, human power would eventually run out, especially in front of this terrifying giant beast. Any resistance would be ridiculous.
When the black water black snake was getting closer and closer, Jin Ping'er suddenly said: "Oh no, this beast is probably here for the things in the Emperor's treasure house."
Everyone suddenly changed their colors.
Gui Li frowned slightly, his face expressionless, but he suddenly thought that when he first entered the wall of miasma in Nei Ze, he suddenly encountered an incredible giant beast in the miasma. He didn't look at it because of the miasma.
It was clear that since then, I had been vaguely familiar with the unique fishy smell around me. Now it seemed that the person I met that day was actually this black water snake.
Watching the Black Water Black Snake continue to advance, its huge black body pressed the tree trunk so hard that it almost made people worry that the tree trunk would be crushed by it. And in mid-air, the huge snake head, with its fangs,
Underneath, the bright red forked tongue kept stretching and contracting in the air, roaring softly in the direction of the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house in the distance, as if he was very excited.
At this moment, everyone could see that the purpose of this giant beast was indeed what was in the Emperor's treasure house behind them.
Gui Li turned around and looked towards the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure House, only to see that the thick stone door was still motionless. The sunlight that originally only shone in the sea of flowers in front of the stone door had now moved to the door. The four ancient seal characters of "The Heavenly Emperor's Treasure House" were shining in the sunlight.
sparkling with light.
Seeing the huge snake body getting closer and closer like a hill, Fa Xiang sighed softly, quickly turned around and said to the others: "This black water black snake is an ancient magical beast. It can't be defeated by human beings. We are definitely not its prey."
Opponent, it’s better not to hold on and leave quickly.”
In fact, everyone knows this truth. Zeng Lin Jingyu and others nodded. Jin Ping'er snorted over there. It was obviously the boss's reluctance, but judging from her expression, she was still ready to leave.
Everyone in the field picked up the magic weapons and prepared to disperse. Gui Li's hand slowly lit up with a dark blue light. He turned around and was about to greet Xiao Hui who was still hiding near the stone gate. At this moment, suddenly, the Emperor of Heaven's Treasure House
Above the stone gate, there was a dull roar.
At this moment, it was the sunshine from the sky that shone on the top horizontal line of the word "天" in the four-character ancient seal script of "Treasure House of the Emperor of Heaven".
"Roar!"
Almost at the same time, the Black Water Black Snake suddenly accelerated its speed and quickly climbed up with a roar. Everyone was shocked for a moment. Jin Ping'er, Zeng, Lin Jingyu, Fa Xiang and others flew up first.
There was a fishy smell in the air, and a strong wind blew from nowhere, blowing on the face like a knife.
Gui Li suddenly jumped back and flew towards the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house. Fa Xiang and others who were already in mid-air were shocked. Looking back, they saw the Black Water Black Snake seemed to be furious, its huge eyes widened, and its mouth was like
There were traces of black air spurting out, and the huge snake body kept twisting. In the blink of an eye, it was in front of the Emperor's treasure house.
The huge stone gate of the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house in front of humans, at this moment, is only about the size of the black water black snake's head.
Gui Liren was in mid-air when he felt that darkness suddenly dimmed behind him. The mountainous darkness rushed toward him like an overwhelming sea. He didn't need to look back, but he knew that the huge snake body of the Black Water Black Snake was behind him.
He transformed into a green light, flying like lightning in front of the giant beast, towards the stone door.
Ahead, monkey Xiao Hui suddenly screamed!
A black shadow crashed down, and the huge wind sound was so fierce that it actually blew Gui Li's body sideways before it even touched him.
Gui Li was shocked, but now he was no longer the young man he was under the Dead Soul Abyss. He moved with his thoughts in an instant, as if there were eyes on his back, and he was using the Soul Eater to escape from the body of the Black Water Black Snake that he smashed down.
, dodged away without a moment's notice.
At this moment, the sound on the stone door of the Emperor's Treasury gradually became louder, and along with a roar, under the sunlight, the huge stone door, which was originally a complete piece, suddenly cracked a gap in the middle, and then slowly moved to the side.
Golden, dazzling light burst out from the gap. Even in the day, it was so brilliant that it was impossible to look at it. Even the rising sun in the sky seemed to be dim at this moment.
There seemed to be something roaring in the treasure house of the Emperor of Heaven, roaring in the golden light!
The entire huge body of the Black Water Black Snake suddenly tensed upright and let out an earth-shattering roar. Not paying attention to anything else, the huge snake head rushed directly towards the stone door of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.
But the cyan light flying between it and the stone door seemed to be one step ahead of it, and was about to enter the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house...
If there wasn't that Tianya Divine Sword that was as bright as autumn water.
A blue light curtain arrived at Gui Li's head at some unknown time, condensed into a huge lightsaber, and struck down at him. Gui Li's eyes were filled with red light, and he saw that the stone gate was right in front of him, but if he did not resist the bright sword light,
, I was afraid that I would be cut into two pieces on the spot. As a last resort, the green light reversed and faced the sky. The blue light struck violently in the black shadows coming with claws and teeth from behind. In an instant, invisible air waves flew out in all directions.
, even Jin Ping'er and others who were flying in the air at this moment couldn't help but change their colors.
Although the power was huge, it was not affected at all by the Black Water Black Snake and the strange golden light in the Heavenly Emperor's treasury. The golden light was still dazzling, getting stronger and stronger, and the Black Water Black Snake also rushed over, and this man
The woman, in the dangerous realm of drastic changes and turbulence on both sides, still struggled to hold on, and no one was willing to give in.
Until the light of their respective magic weapons overshadowed them, and their faces became increasingly pale. But the most important thing was that in this flash of lightning, a huge black shadow rushed forward.
The magic weapon of human cultivation, inspired by its own power, disappeared into thin air under the excited collision of the Black Water Black Snake.
Lu Xueqi and Gui Li flew forward at the same time. Gui Li only felt the energy and blood in his chest turbulent, and his mind was buzzing. The meridians in his body were almost turned over completely by the powerful force of the Black Water Black Snake, and a mouthful of blood was stuck in his body.
On the chest, if it were not for the "Great Brahma Prajna" of Tianyin Temple in the body protecting the heart veins and running rapidly at the same time to block the external force layer by layer, blood would probably spurt out on the spot.
But despite this, he still felt severe pain all over his body, and he had no idea how many bones in his body were broken. He was in the air, and he suddenly turned his head forcibly and looked at Lu Xueqi.
That cold woman seemed to be in even worse condition at the moment. She was dressed in snow-white clothes, with blood stains on her chest. Her pale cheeks and lips were covered with blood. She seemed to have vomited blood on the spot.
Although the Qingyun Sect's Taoism is wonderful and wonderful, in terms of firming up the heart and protecting oneself, the Buddhist Brahma Prajna is even better.
The Zhengdao people who were staying in mid-air were just stunned. This happened in just a moment. Before they could react, Lu Xueqi had already stopped Gui Li. A moment later, the two of them were knocked away by the Black Water Black Snake at the same time.
Judging from their figures, it seems that they have all been severely injured.
Lu Xueqi is a disciple of Qingyun. Needless to say, Gui Li is the original Zhang Xiaofan, and has a very deep connection with everyone present. After this drastic change, everyone in the righteous way reacted and immediately flew down one after another, although they could not stop the Black Water Black Snake.
This ancient monster always hopes to help the two of them.
At the same time, Jin Ping'er also quietly flew down from the other side, but under the shadow of the black water snake, her wonderful eyes were just staring at the brilliant golden light in the stone door of the Emperor's Treasury, her bright eyes sparkling.
In the distance, the nascent sun is a little higher.
Under the sunlight, the word "天" in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury moved up a little horizontally.
Suddenly, the stone door that was about three feet wide when it was half open suddenly stopped and continued to move. After a while, it actually began to close, and the golden light inside gradually dimmed.
Gui Li's whole body was about to burst, but he and Lu Xueqi were still conscious. However, the force of the collision with the Black Water Black Snake was too great. In a hurry, he couldn't control his body and was about to hit the hard and thick body.
On top of the stone gate, at this speed, even if he is protected by the true methods of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism, he is afraid that he will still be smashed to pieces.
What's even more terrifying is that the stone door is gradually closing with a low muffled sound...
In the distance, as if in mid-air, the exclamations of Lin Jingyu and others were heard!
Gui Li felt a trance in his heart at that moment: vaguely, it seemed as if there was a woman in aqua clothes, smiling at him under the blue sky. However, her smile, somehow, was a little strange.
Vague.
Time, at this moment, seemed to suddenly slow down.
His body turned in the air, and he saw the ferocious black water snake coming from behind, the hard stone door that was gradually closing in front of him, and the man next to him who was floating out of control just like himself.
The woman in white in the sky.
He suddenly wanted to ask Lu Xueqi: Why did she stop herself even at the risk of losing her life?
"Squeak, squeak!" As if a scream suddenly rang in his ears, the voice of the monkey Xiao Hui woke him up. Xiao Hui ran to the gap in the stone door at some point, jumped up and down, and screamed loudly, and
At this moment, the distance between the gaps in the stone gates is less than two feet.
Just before he saw it, he was about to hit the stone door.
I am about to finish this life before my eyes.
Before his eyes, the blue sky and white clouds were all pressing down on him.
If, give up...
He gritted his teeth and used his last strength to twist his body a few minutes. In a moment, he saw the gap ahead from the corner of his eye, facing him.
Maybe, you can escape the gate of hell?
He breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body felt like he was about to die, without a trace of strength.
The wind was howling, but he suddenly felt that someone was watching him.
He raised his eyes.
Lu Xueqi didn't know when she woke up, and she was right next to him. Looking at the direction in which she was flying, she must have hit the hard stone door. However, for some reason, on the face of this pretty woman,
Not even the slightest fear.
In this spinning moment, at this moment of life and death, she flew towards death involuntarily, but there was no trace of sadness or fear on her face.
As if like an epiphyllum at night, her figure was dotted with bright red blood, amidst the horrified exclamations in the distance, in front of Gui Li, no, in front of Zhang Xiaofan back then, she suddenly smiled.
There was a tenderness that had never appeared in her pale smile. Amidst such a biting wind, her lips opened and closed gently, gazing at the people around her.
There were four words that passed through the wind, passed through the blood, and more like passed through the years and time, lingering gently in the past ten years, and then lingered in his ears and echoed in his heart.
"You, come back..."
※※※
She closed her eyes, and her body seemed to sink suddenly. She was about to leave him, as if her last strength disappeared as she finished speaking those four words.
The black hair floated up, slightly covering one side of her fair face in the wind. The woman floated in the wind, but there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
But what is it that echoes so fiercely in my heart? Like the raging flood that has washed away all obstacles, even though everything in the world can disappear, at this moment, that white figure,
How can you give up?
How can you give it up?
There was a low and hoarse roar in his throat. He struggled in the inexplicable tears. He struggled in the fierce and biting wind. He stretched out his hand, stretched out his hand, stretched out his hand...
hold onto!
Just like ten years ago, beside the abyss of death, amid countless rocks and rain, the woman in white came to him desperately and grabbed his hand.
hold onto……
Before his final consciousness disappeared, he used all his strength to pull the woman towards him.
Ahead, there was only a one-foot gap left in the stone door, and the golden light in the stone door had completely disappeared at this moment, leaving only darkness.
There was a touch of warmth in the palm of his hand.
He closed his eyes, and the boundless darkness, just like ten years ago, flooded over and engulfed them.
※※※
The stone door slammed shut, and at the last moment, the monkey Xiao Hui followed his master and ran in.
And then, the huge stone door closed again with a loud noise, and the gap in the middle unexpectedly disappeared suddenly.
"Boom!" The huge head of the black water black snake hit the stone door. The force was like an overwhelming force, and the trunk of the giant tree dozens of feet thick also trembled violently, as if it was about to break.
The Black Water Black Snake seemed to have seen the delicious food in its mouth and flew away again. It fell into an uncontrollable rage. The huge snake head began to hit the stone door crazily. This force was so powerful that it even connected people in the distance in the air.
, also changes color.
Jin Ping'er flew up bitterly and stayed far away from the black water snake, cursing secretly in her heart. Just now, she took advantage of the fact that the people in Zhengdao were not paying attention and secretly followed the black water snake on the other side to approach the Emperor of Heaven in the shadow.
I wanted to watch the opportunity to enter the treasure house, but unexpectedly the scene took a turn for the worse. The emperor's treasure house was suddenly closed again for some unknown reason.
Jin Ping'er was a step late and was very angry, but there was nothing he could do. Moreover, under the fury of the Black Water Black Snake, his attention had begun to turn to the people in the sky. When Jin Ping'er saw this beast raising its head and seemed to be moving,
He quickly stepped back several dozen feet.
Sure enough, the black water black snake suddenly opened its mouth wide and sprayed out a stream of black venom into the sky. The fishy smell hit the nostrils and made people want to vomit. Everyone in the righteous way fled one after another, feeling a little embarrassed for a while. Jin Ping'er hid faster, but also
Calmly. But seeing the Black Water Black Snake roaring furiously under his feet, and then banging his head against the stone door of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, he expected that he would not be able to get any more advantage today. If he waited any longer, the righteous people over there would treat him badly.
If there is some hostility, it is better to take action.
Thinking of this, Jin Ping'er quietly left here and flew towards the way she came, but before she could fly very far, her body suddenly shook. She saw that on the way she came, where the Black Water Black Snake passed just now, there was a mess, but
I don’t know why, but there is a flowerbed of vines that is intact. In this flowerbed, under the sunlight, there seems to be a faint dark red light flashing quietly, and the arrangement is messy, but upon closer inspection, it seems that there are
There is mystery.
Jin Ping'er frowned slightly and looked carefully for a moment. Suddenly a light flashed in his eyes, as if he saw some secret. Then he quickly glanced around, sneered at the same time, and whispered: "Even they are here!
"
She pondered slightly in mid-air for a moment, then finally shook her head and flew away without looking back.
In front of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure House, the Black Water Black Snake was still furious, hitting the stone door with all its strength. The righteous people in the sky originally wanted to secretly go down to see if they could rescue Lu Xueqi, but as soon as they got close, they would be attacked by the Black Water Black Snake.
He attacked and almost got injured in the hands of this giant beast several times.
After several more dangers, Fa Xiang signaled to the others to retreat further, gathered together, and then whispered: "There is no way to continue like this. I don't know what is in this treasure house that makes this beast so obsessed with it."
.With it guarding here, there is no way we can enter the treasure house anyway."
Lin Jingyu's face was stern, and he stared at the black water black snake below. He once had an anxious look on his face, but even though he was clever and clever, there was nothing he could do at this moment.
Just when everyone was extremely anxious, it seemed that only the crazy roar of the black water black snake was left in the world. At this time, suddenly, the sky became dark.
Zeng and others were all shocked. Just a moment ago, the sky was clear and clear here. How could the sky change in an instant? They couldn't help but look up.
At this sight, they were dumbfounded. They saw a large orange-yellow color slowly appearing above the nine heavens, with a radius of tens of feet, covering their heads, and even blocking the sunlight.
Then, a clear whistling sound like the cry of a phoenix seemed to come from the sky.
The Black Water Black Snake, which had just fallen into madness, suddenly stopped moving. The huge snake head raised its head and looked up. Then it seemed to be angry, opened its mouth, exposed its fangs, and roared at the clouds.
The cloud fell down like it covered the sky and the sun. Although it didn't look as big as the Black Water Black Snake, it was still almost the same.
Everyone in the distance could clearly see that this was actually a huge bird with orange and yellow feathers. It flew with wings and hovered in the air. Instead of being afraid of the black water snake entrenched on the tree trunk, it seemed to be afraid of it.
The intention of attacking.
Facing this strange bird, the Black Water Black Snake actually put away its arrogant attitude, coiled up its body, hissed the snake's head, and prepared for it.
"This is the legendary Nine Heavens Spirit Bird - Yellow Bird!" (Note 1)
Fa Xiang looked at the two giant beasts confronting each other in the distance and murmured.
※※※
Note 1: This allusion is taken from "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Dahuang Nan Jing, Wushan Yellow Bird": There is Wushan, and there is a yellow bird in the west. Emperor Yao, Bazhai. The yellow bird is in Wushan, and it is the mysterious snake.
Another note: the emperor refers to the emperor of heaven, the medicine refers to the magical medicine, the elixir of immortality. The black snake refers to the black water black snake.
