Chapter 335: Seven Layers Underground
In this second layer of soil space, there is also a quiet and long tunnel, and on both sides of the tunnel are also layers of holes with black and silent cave doors - it is exactly the same arrangement as the previous layer, if it is not for the impact of the body falling dozens of meters, they will simply wonder if they are still in place.
But obviously not, so Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan glanced at each other before continuing to walk forward. Moving forward, neither of them naturally noticed the pitch-black doors open side by side on both sides of the tunnel.
Zhang Liang subconsciously cast the light of the ancient book of words into the cave door along the road, and in the slight light, he saw the soft black soil on the ground inside the cave door at a glance.
"Sure enough......," Zhang Liang sighed softly. In the pitch-black cave doors along the road, there are also burial pits like the previous layer.
Hua Mulan naturally saw it, frowned, and really didn't want to stay in such an environment for a long time, so she said to the gray-haired wolf: "Er Gray, go and find the traces of that person, follow his breath, go!" ”
Being shouted by Hua Mulan like this, the gray-haired wolf, who was originally lying next to Zhang Liang and Mulan, had to stand up, hold his nose, and carefully explore the tunnel illuminated by the fireflies.
Ten minutes later, the gray-haired Kui Wolf followed the smell of the unknown person, and found another black in a hidden place This time, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan jumped in directly without too much hesitation, and the gray-haired Kui Wolf with an embarrassed face could only be forced to follow......
So they entered the third layer of earth space, the same tunnel, the same cave door, the same burial pit, and then they followed the unknown person's scent and found the dark shadow passage to the next layer.
In this way, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan searched and tracked down in the gray-haired wolf land, and found one black shadow passage after another, layer after layer of deep down, until they dived to a depth of several hundred meters below the ground, but this stratum space seemed to be endless, there was always one layer under the other, and each layer was exactly the same covered with corpse pits.
Until the seventh floor. It took almost an hour for Zhang Liang and Mulan to finally come to the seventh layer. According to the calculation of time, it should be dawn outside, but for them who are now in the stratum space, the environment is still as dark as night, or even darker than night...... In fact, the moment they entered the seventh layer, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan obviously felt that the feeling of this layer was completely different from the six layers above.
There is no earthy smell, the air is smooth, and although it is dark and invisible, you can feel a sense of silence and emptiness, and obviously, there is a lot of space on this level. When Zhang Liang opened the ancient book of Yanling again and shone the light of fireflies, he discovered the situation in this layer of space.
They were still in a stratum tunnel, but the width of the tunnel was much wider than the previous six-story tunnel, and it was a very wide tunnel with a cross-sectional diameter of ten meters. And it meanders and stretches diagonally. Seeing the extremely strange realm, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan couldn't help but be shocked, it seems that I, they have finally come to the deepest layer of the underground space, and down this huge tunnel, they will be able to see with their own eyes the secrets buried hundreds of meters deep under the ground in Afang Palace.
"It seems that this road is finally coming to an end." Mulan looked at the huge tunnel that was partially illuminated by the glow of fireflies, and said with a piercing gaze, "Let's go, all the secrets are waiting for us at the end of this tunnel." ”
"Wait a minute, Lan Lan." Zhang Liang stretched out his hand to stop Mulan, who was about to move forward, and said, "Let me use my soul perception to inspect it first." ”
After speaking, Zhang Liang closed his eyes, and the powerful soul perception immediately extended from his body, perceiving everything mysterious in the depths of this tunnel through the darkness that the glow of the fireflies could not dispel, and then, in the depths of the tunnel covered by darkness, a man wearing a dragon mask and a white robe stood quietly and silently.
"Did you find anything?" Hua Mulan saw that Zhang Liang stared at him for a long time without speaking, so she asked, "Is there any danger?" ”
"I saw the man in the dragon mask...... He's in the depths of the tunnel...... "Okay, then let's catch up and find out who he really is!" When Mulan heard this, she immediately said. Along the way, they were able to dive to the deepest part of the underground space on the seventh floor without any effort, so Hua Mulan was very curious, who was that man, who also infiltrated Afang Palace, but he could feel the terrain here so clearly.
However, just as Mulan was about to walk down the tunnel, Zhang Liang's hand was once again in front of her.
"Wait a minute...... Lan Lan, it seems that something is wrong......" Zhang Liang didn't open his eyes, but stopped Hua Mulan again and said in a low voice. - In the depths of the tunnel, he stood silently, wearing a menacing dragon mask and carrying a clean white robe. Obviously, a few steps further can pass through the end of the tunnel and get a glimpse of the hidden secrets of Afang Palace. But here he stopped.
There was a little surprise in the man's light blue pupils, and in this silent and deep tunnel, he actually heard a burst of low breathing, and it was by no means the sound of human breathing.
What's even more strange is that the man has not applied lighting tools, and has been blindly following the judgment of hearing and touch in the vast darkness, however, at this moment, he found that there were many faint stars on the rock walls around the tunnel, and it was clear that he was now in the formation hundreds of meters down, how could there be these strange points of light? Although it is only a glimmer of light, in the thick darkness beneath this layer, the slightest glimmer of light will make people feel extraordinarily bright.
Of course, at this time, the man's heart was more uneasy about these starlight classes. The man stood still, and the starlight spots on the surrounding rock wall became brighter and brighter, and gradually the light became stronger and stronger to cast light on the man's white robe.
The man stared slightly, and the light emitted by the countless starlight classes on the rock wall around him fell on him, lighting up bright spots of light on him, making him feel as if a sword shaped like light was pointing at him. The man knew he couldn't stop any longer, so he tentatively stepped forward.
But something strange happened, when the man walked forward step by step, the rock walls on both sides of the road quickly lit up countless starlight spots, although he kept moving forward, but there were always new starlight spots around him emitting light, through the thick darkness in the formation, projecting on the man. Sensing that the situation was not good, the man immediately sped up, he was already deep in the depths of the tunnel, under the light of countless starlight points, after a few steps forward, he came to the end of the tunnel.
However, there were still flecks of starlight all around, and the light cast on him was dotted with countless spots of light—and he didn't avoid it. And most bizarrely, when he reached the end of the tunnel, he was greeted by two points of light larger than a lantern and brighter than fire—and they were staring at the man.
It was also at this moment that the man realized that the starlight spots that flickered along the road were all staring at him!
Then, without warning, the entire huge tunnel was violently shaken under the action of inexplicable force, swallowed the apple chewed in his mouth, looked at this huge empty city, and sighed, "I am still thinking about how many people I have to sacrifice to capture this strong city from Xiang Yu and Liu Bang...... As a result, they actually gave us the city gate directly......"
Roaming and pausing for a moment, the soldiers around him were secretly happy while looking at him, after all, he got a city without injury or death, this kind of thing is incredibly happy...... So they all waited, waiting for their senior lieutenant to laugh next.
“…… How much the does this look down on us? As a result, Roaming paused for a while and said such a sentence, which made everyone vomit blood in their hearts......
"It's so angry...... Roaming finished chewing the last bite of the green apple, handed the pit to the white horse's mouth, let it eat, and then pulled out a white silk scarf from the armor and wiped the corner of his mouth. Never mind...... So be it...... It also saves the trouble of fighting......" Roaming soothed his brows, raised his right hand high, and shouted to the army easily: "Let's go!" Let's go into town! ”
With its vicious bright yellow eyes, the python quickly pursued the masked man who was fleeing with all his might, its massive body swinging wildly in the stratum tunnel, and the entire tunnel vibrated violently under its great force. And the more than 1,000 eyes on the giant python's body have been quietly scanning the darkness around them, with an extremely cold gaze.
Therefore, when the firefly light of the Ancient Book of Words and Spirits was cast from above the tunnel, the strong light intensity stimulated the eyes of most of the giant python's body to close suddenly, and its movements also hesitated. Taking advantage of the moment of hesitation of the giant python, the man wearing the dragon mask immediately jumped up, jumped to the top of the tunnel, and stepped on a stone protrusion along the wall of the tunnel with one foot, and froze his body.
After the giant python quickly opened the eyes of Aya Luo on its body, it slowly paused its huge body, staring coldly at all the intruders around it, as well as ...... An invading wolf...... Then, with its nearly 100-meter-long body, it blocked the path of the tunnel, blinking its cold and terrifying eyes, opening and closing its palate slightly, and whispering in a deep voice.
The man stood on one foot on the stone protrusion along the wall of the tunnel, gasping silently, his pale blue pupils looking through the eyes of the dragon mask, looking at the giant python with a thousand eyes, and at the two men and women who met in a narrow way and were both invaders, silently, quietly examining the current situation.
"There are many monsters in the strange land, it seems that this demon beast is the real night watchman of this 'Afang Palace'......" Looking at the thousand-eyed python that rushed out of the tunnel, Hua Mulan was short of surprise, and then her eyes lit up, and she said in a deep voice, while secretly clenching the giant sword in the sky.
"Thousand-pupil python." Compared to the unknown person and Hua Mulan's rapid composure at the moment, Zhang Liang's reaction was obviously shocked, his pupils condensed and looked at the thousands of eyes on the thousand-eyed python, and his mouth couldn't help but exclaim, "Thousand-pupil python, it will actually be a thousand-pupil python!" ”
"Huh? Do you know this monster? Liangliang. Seeing Zhang Liang's unusual surprise, Mulan couldn't help but look sideways at him and asked. The man with the dragon mask also unnaturally shifted his gaze to Zhang Liang.
"It's a thousand-pupil python...... Zhang Liang stared at the demon beast in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "The demon beast that cannot be bred in nature, only the most mysterious ancient demon path in the secret method of the demon path can summon a strange demon beast - it has a total of one thousand and eight eyes - those eyes are not born by itself, but are all sacrifices that need to be provided during the spell casting and summoning process - one thousand and eight human eyes!" ”
One thousand and eight human eyes! Originally, Hua Mulan and unknown people who thought that this thousand-eyed python looked ugly and terrifying, after hearing Zhang Liang's words, they felt that the thousand-eyed python in front of them was disgusting and terrifying-one thousand and eight human eyes, that is one thousand and eight human eyes! To summon such a demon beast, its methods are simply cruel.
And if they think about it carefully, they can quickly guess that the eyes used to summon this thousand-pupiled python probably came from the headless corpse in the burial pit on the sixth floor above.
However, what shocked Zhang Liang the most was that there was still someone in this world who could use the Ancient Demon Dao to summon a Thousand Pupils Python - the Ancient Demon Dao, which was a demon Dao that had long been extinct in the dusty thousand-year history!
In this world, there are still people who know the ancient demon way! - Mausoleum - On the reckless plain, the dust is flying; Between the horses and horses, the blade is cold.
