Chapter two hundred and forty fifth: a deadly corpse
Qin Hao's silver gun nailed the black shadow to an inconspicuous corner. Everyone looked at it, only to find that the black shadow was not a wolf, but a particularly weird-looking creature.
Gray-brown, with very thin limbs that look out of place with the huge body. The five claws are curved like crescents, shining with cold metal.
She has a small head, small round eyes, glowing red like two rubies, a pointed nose, and a mouth full of densely packed fangs like steel needles. It looks ferocious and terrifying, and its abdomen is nailed with a silver gun.
, light cyan liquid flowed out from the wound, exuding a disgusting stench, and after two struggles, it lost its life.
"Hey... isn't this the scavenger rat?" The big man surnamed Zhu made a sound, and he didn't know if he was choked by the disgusting smell. He frowned and said, "No, why is this thing so special?
The scavenger rat will grow several times bigger!"
Scavenger rats are said to live exclusively on rotten meat, and are not interested in fresh flesh and blood. They are generally the size of kittens and hamsters. They live in groups and have little fighting power. However, this one appears to be extremely large, comparable to the mountains.
The group of wolves in the depths are comparable.
"Why are there scavenging rats here?" Xue Jiajia frowned, a little confused. Under normal circumstances, these scavenging rats like to gather in dark and humid places. They will appear wherever there is rotten meat. The environment here is also different.
It is suitable for scavenger rats to grow. It is a bit surprising that scavenger rats appear here, and they are so huge.
"Since there are scavenging rats here, it means there should be a lot of rotting corpses nearby, and there are a lot of rotting corpses!" said the white-haired old man.
"Jiji..."
As soon as the white-haired old man finished speaking, a series of sharp sounds suddenly erupted from the originally quiet passage. These sharp sounds came from inside the deep valley. As this sound sounded, countless voices of scavenging rats suddenly sounded inside.
The sound seemed to have a chain reaction, and soon, bursts of piercing screams filled the entire valley.
"This...listening to this voice, there must be at least hundreds or even thousands of scavenger rats. How could there be so many scavenger rats in there! Could it be..." The female disciple of the Qingyang Sect was a little shocked.
So everyone realized that there were a large number of scavenging rats stationed deep in the valley, which meant that there must be a large number of rotting corpses for these scavenging rats to eat.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Xue Jiajia frowned slightly. She didn't know whether she was disgusted with the scavenging rats or whether the series of sharp screams made her feel upset, so she stepped inside.
The group of people walked about a few hundred meters inside, and the environment inside gradually became more spacious. It was not until they reached an area the size of a football field that the scavenging rats' sharp screams gradually disappeared, and then they saw the dim inside.
, shining with a pair of densely packed eyes as bright as rubies. These scarlet eyes looked extremely strange in this dark and silent valley, giving people a chilling feeling in their hearts.
There were too many... Thousands of scavenger rats as big as wolves gathered in one place, their strange scarlet eyes staring at a group of them. The scene was indescribably weird.
"Hmph!" The white-haired old man snorted heavily, and his voice was mixed with a surging Yuan Power, which echoed in the valley. In an instant, the group of scavenger rats ran around in shock, and disappeared without a trace in a few breaths.
trace.
After the scavenger rats disappeared, what they saw were pieces of white corpses. What shocked them was that these were all human bones, and there were at least hundreds of them by visual inspection.
"Why are there so many human bones here! Where did these bones come from?" Xue Jiajia frowned, confusion appearing in her eyes.
Everyone looked around and found that the area was very spacious, and there seemed to be passages inside, but they didn't know where they were.
Fang Yun knelt down, reached out and touched the bones, feeling silently. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, "These bones are at least hundreds of years old!"
After listening to Fang Yun's words, everyone started to examine it one after another. Everyone had strange looks on their faces. After some exploration, they finally discovered some amazing phenomena.
"The ages of these bones vary, some are around five hundred years old, some are eight hundred years old, or even a thousand years old!" The white-haired old man frowned and said, "Have you noticed that these bones were basically spiritual beings with the lowest level of cultivation during their lifetime?
The realm of consciousness, and the highest level of cultivation during life has indeed reached the realm of Nascent Soul!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. The white-haired old man pointed to the skeletons at his feet, "These skeletons were at least as high as the Nascent Soul realm during their lifetime, and they are also the oldest among all the skeletons.
.”
"How is this possible? What could make these Nascent Soul masters fall to this point? Could it be that there were creatures here that were stronger than the Nascent Soul masters back then? Otherwise, it would be impossible to suppress these Nascent Soul masters here at the same time!" Qing
The Yang Sect female disciple said in disbelief.
"It's strange to say, isn't there a level restriction in the Zishan Secret Realm? How did these Nascent Soul masters get in? And why did these people die here? Is it possible that there really is some terrifying existence sleeping here?" Zhu surnamed
The big man frowned and stared at the dark passage inside, as if there really was something terrifying inside.
"The appearance of the Zishan Secret Realm in the world is a mystery. Maybe it's hard to say that these people grew up here, or there may be other reasons. In short, there are too many puzzling problems in the Zishan Secret Realm." Middle-aged
The man shook his head slightly and said calmly.
At this time, Fang Yun, who had been observing the bones everywhere, suddenly spoke.
"Have you noticed that these skeletons seemed to have been killed by someone before they were alive? In addition to other parts that have been bitten by scavenging rats, all the skeletons have cracks on their chests and spines."
As soon as Fang Yun said this, everyone's eyes swept over the skeletons. Sure enough, as Fang Yun said, except for the chest and spine, the other parts of these skeletons were almost intact, as if they had been hit by something in the chest.
It affected the spine and was instantly killed.
"This...how is it possible! Even the bones of these powerful Nascent Soul warriors are not spared!" The white-haired old man was extremely shocked. "What on earth could kill the powerful Nascent Soul warriors instantly, and they seemed to have no clue at that time?"
The ability to fight back, judging from the fatal position of these skeletons, it is impossible that they were attacked by a sneak attack, and even if they were attacked by a sneak attack, it is impossible that they would not even have a chance to fight back!"
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed. The phenomena in front of them were really shocking to them. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe that a strong man in the Nascent Soul realm would act like someone else.
Killed directly by the blow.
You must know that the existence of the Nascent Soul Realm is already a powerful existence in their minds. With the changes of the times, the changes of laws, and the thinness of the vitality of heaven and earth, it has made it difficult for them as cultivators to step into the realm of cultivation.
People in the Nascent Soul realm are all gifted cultivation geniuses, or people with great opportunities.
The innate meridians are divided into three stages: the condensation stage, the gathering stage, and the creation stage.
The realm of Yukong is also divided into three stages: the ethereal stage, the Yuling stage, and the spiritual awareness stage, followed by the half-step Nascent Soul and Nascent Soul!
According to legend, in ancient times, half-step Nascent Soul was a state that no longer existed. As the times changed and the laws changed, it became more and more difficult for practitioners to break through the barriers. When breaking through the Nascent Soul realm, there were certain legal restrictions.
Being forcibly suppressed between the peak of spiritual consciousness and the realm of Yuanying, commonly known as: half-step Yuanying
If the innate meridians are the foundation of a cultivator, then the Yukong Stage is the entry-level stage of a cultivator. Only by breaking through the Nascent Soul realm can one be considered a true strong man. His lifespan can be increased by thousands of years, and he can achieve the following realms at the snap of his fingers.
It can be said that for all monks, the Nascent Soul realm is a watershed in their cultivation.
But the scene in front of them made everyone present feel terrified, and at the same time they also realized the seriousness of the matter. There was definitely a terrifying existence hidden in this valley that made people palpitate.
"If there is really a terrifying existence hidden here, then where did the traces of destruction outside come from? Moreover, there are no traces of skeletons found outside, but it is just the opposite here." The big man was confused.
"Maybe there was something here that attracted them and made them fight with each other here, but it was very short-lived. As for why there are no traces of fighting here, maybe they have reached some kind of consensus outside, but in the end they were attacked by a force here.
The terrifying power killed him with one blow." Qin Hao said, his calm eyes flashing with strange light, and continued: "And their fight outside just alarmed the beings inside, leading them to the abyss of despair."
After listening to Qin Hao's speculation, everyone felt that it was reasonable, but what gave them a headache immediately was where they should go next. If there is really a terror inside, this road will not work. Instead of facing it,
Facing the unknown and terrifying existence, it is better to face the half-step Nascent Soul werewolf.
"What should we do? If it's really what we suspected, we can't go on." said the male disciple of the Qingyang Sect.
Everyone was silent for a while. In this situation, they were in a dilemma. They were heading toward a suspected unknown existence, and behind them was the real half-step Nascent Soul. If they wanted to follow the planned route, they would have to return to the mountains again. In this way, they would inevitably encounter the werewolf.
The collision, the first time they tied up the werewolf without any defense, can be said to be a fluke, but if it happens again, I'm afraid they won't be so lucky.
However, just when everyone was undecided about where to go, Fang Yun spoke.
"I think we can give it a try, maybe it won't be what we imagined!"
