Chapter 617: The Hero's Fall

Although the Thunder Ancient City is relatively independent, and no country can interfere in its internal affairs, after all, it is on the ground of the Longyuan Empire, and the identity of the Longyuan Empire is much better here than the identity of other countries.

But Tian Xian chose to change his appearance and quietly entered, and Xiao Gray, a giant beast that had no way to hide his identity, just let it go to the wilderness around the ancient city to play, and grab some delicious food by the way.

When he entered the ancient city, it was already ten years of the night, Ling took off his robe, and together with Xue and Gu Li, he was changed by Tian Xian.

Xue and Gu Li were already accustomed to Tian Xian's technique, and Ling was surprised for a while when he found that Tian Xian touched left and right on Xue's face, and then pushed and kneaded it, Xue's face changed greatly.

"You...... Who the hell are you?I've never even heard of such a thing......" Ling suddenly became nervous when he saw Tian Xian smiling evilly towards him.

Tian Xian grabbed Ling, pinched the bones in her face and stabbed a few silver needles appropriately, and replied: "You don't know much about me, don't move honestly, otherwise you won't be able to get it back if you become ugly." ”

Ling really didn't move obediently.

Tianxian suddenly realized that when it seemed that they were changing their faces, the three of them were obedient, and they didn't dare to say much, and their appearance was really the lifeblood of women......

The four people, including himself, were "pinched" a lot uglier, and after changing their clothes, they entered the city with peace of mind.

The Thunder Ancient City seemed to be isolated from the Dragon Yuan Empire, and no matter how stormy it was outside, this place would never change in any way.

Although it was night, there were still a lot of people entering the city, the huge wall, the towering outer wall sentry post was exactly the same as it was at the beginning, the power struggle in the Longyuan Imperial Capital had reached the point of life and death, and the soldiers at the sentry point here were drowsy......

The role of the sentry is minimal. It's just a matter of checking whether there will be very special characters, and the huge oppressive force in the ancient city is the best defensive measure.

The four of them passed through the checkpoint without attracting any attention, and did not enter the outer city, and directly chose the nearest road to the Divine Domain according to the map.

"Look at those few, they don't know whether they are dead or alive, and if they don't enter the outer city, they will go deep into the inner city. I'm afraid I'm going to die on the way again. ”

"Young people now......"

The fact that the four of them did not enter the outer city attracted a lot of discussion from the Stigmata Inheritors.

In this regard, Tian Xian smiled secretly, "Ling, do you feel anything?"

This ancient city exuded a huge oppressive power from its core position, making it impossible for people to get close, but Xue was completely unaffected when she first came, and Tian Xian felt that if she guessed correctly, it was directly related to her identity as the Chosen One, and this oppressive force was for Ling now. It should be completely ineffective.

"Feel?" Ling was a little puzzled, "What does it feel?"

Sure enough, Tianxian turned to Gu Li, "What about you?"

A happy look appeared on Gu Li's face, "It's much better than the last time I came, it should be no problem to walk to the Divine Domain." ”

Those who have entered the Divine Domain at the beginning, when they come here again, they should have no problem entering the Divine Domain. Tianxian believes this, and Gu Li is the most ordinary one. But she is no longer what she used to be, and she is no longer the Guli who fled here in embarrassment to take refuge.

The black earth of the Thunder Ancient City slept in the heavy air, and in this vast land, except for the noise of the city fixed in the four directions, there was only a solemn silence, and the sound of the four people stepping on the sand was almost the only sound at night.

On the way, I met a few people who were doing penance and stigmata outside the city. They turned a blind eye to the few people in Tianxian, but Tianxian observed them with interest when they passed by, looking at these people who persistently pursued the power of the stigma, Tianxian always felt a kind of inexplicable amusement.

This stigma...... After all, it is just the leftovers of the power of the gods, and mankind has not broken through this power for thousands of years. In the end, what will you use to fight against the gods who are about to return?

The four eventually stopped on a small slope.

Here is empty all around, see not the city, the slope is full of beautiful small flowers, it is a rare place in the ancient city to have a view, the flowers move with the wind, gently fluttering on the tomb, a year has passed, Zhuoya's tomb is full of flowers.

Gu Li knelt down on one knee and looked affectionately at this tombstone, a thousand words surging in her heart, but there seemed to be no words to express her feelings.

Ling looked at Tian Xian with a puzzled gaze.

Tian Xian approached her and whispered, "This is the place where Guli's sisters are buried. ”

"Sister...... Ling's eyes moved slightly, "Her sister?"

Taking advantage of the time when Gu Li visited Zhuoya, Tian Xian simply told Ling about Zhuo Ya, Ling seemed to listen very carefully, and she had never cared much about anything, but she actually asked a few questions about Tian Xian's narration.

At the end of Tianxian's narration, Ling's eyes when he looked at Gu Li became much more complicated.

"Sorry for the delay. Guli stood up and looked back at everyone with some apologies.

"No, I have to have you come, in fact, I just want to come and see Zhuoya together. ”

Tianxian also walked up, hung his head and closed his mouth, clasped his hands in front of his chest, his lips squirmed slightly, and said silently: "Zhuoya, rest in peace, I am fulfilling my promise to take good care of your sisters." ”

Looking at the muttering in front of the tomb, Gu Li's heart suddenly swelled with irrepressible feelings.

It's this boy! It's him! Silently doing everything for himself, worrying, guarding himself, cunning scoundrel, clumsy and stubborn......

"Zoya, did you see that...... He is like the star you said, and he has been silently guarding me. ”

Tianxian raised his head, and suddenly saw Gu Li's eyes were red, and tears were rolling in his eyes, and he immediately thought that she was touching the scene, remembering what happened to Zhuo Ya in the past, and was about to comfort him, Gu Li had already pounced.

hugged Tianxian violently, and Gu Li silently shed tears.

Sadness, happiness, and perhaps more gratitude, Gu Li didn't know what she was, but she wanted to hug the teenager in front of her, and even wanted to never let go.

After a while, Gu Li finally stopped crying.

Crying and crying, after the catharsis of her feelings, Gu Li suddenly blushed a little, and quickly let go of Tianxian and took two steps back, at this time she was surprised to find that Xue and Ling were also standing in front of the tomb. Clasped his hands together, lowered his head and closed his eyes and whispered something.

Xue raised her head first, Ling whispered for a while, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Li looking at her in surprise.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Ling whispered, "Sacrifice your soul." May she rest in peace. ”

Gu Li's heart trembled.

Tian Xian was actually very afraid that Ling would say something inappropriate at this time, but obviously his worries were unnecessary.

The four of them said goodbye to Zoya and continued deep into the hinterland of the Divine Domain, and soon a thin mist began to appear around.

"Ah~~ It's still the air of my hometown!"

Triangle finally couldn't help but fly out of Tianxian's sleeve, waving three arcs of light excitedly, and it could be seen that he was happy to return to the Thunder Ancient City.

Gollum also jumped out and turned into a small flying beast and flew around, "I don't know how Master Norma is doing." ”

"Be of good cheer, Lord Norma is immortal. It will be the same even if it is another ten years and a hundred years. ”

The two creatures chatted about the rare nature of life, and it seemed that everything always had a sense of belonging to somewhere, even if it was not a living being.

Soon, the surrounding fog thickened, and the tall mountains in the center of the Thunder Ancient City had been completely obscured.

"Triangle, don't lead us into strange formations. Tian Xian reminded him that the last time he came, he suffered a big loss in this, and almost everyone died here.

"Rest assured, my master. In fact, you have already learned all the guardian formations here at present, as long as you go a little deeper. If you find the right position, you can completely control the operation of the formation here, and you are the other master of this Thunder Ancient City. ”

Tian Xian suddenly felt amused, "Really? I can control the formation of the core of the Thunder Ancient City, wouldn't that be able to increase the oppressive force in the air tenfold, and let those annoying guys leave." ”

"Of course my master!" Triangle seemed to approve of the proposal, "those guys are building cities outside. The activities that threaten Norma's master should have been eliminated a long time ago!"

"Norma...... Who is it?" Ling tried to talk to Gu Li while chatting and farting with the two creation beings.

This is the first head-to-head collusion between the two after the-for-tat confrontation in the desert oasis.

Gu Li looked at her and was a little surprised, but she quickly smiled. Pointing ahead, he whispered, "I'll see you soon, don't be scared by his appearance when the time comes." ”

The core formation of the entire Thunder Ancient City was almost arranged by the triangle, and with him here, a few people passed through the misty area smoothly, and the vast world was once again displayed in front of them.

This is already the core area of the Divine Domain of the Thunder Ancient City, the flat and wide ground is completely dominated by various formations, and even the scene of the sky changes with the formation in an instant, only the towering mountain range that appears again in the distance is majestic and motionless.

"It's still the same! nothing is the same as when we left!" Triangle quickly waved its arc tentacles, and blue light was thrown out of the tentacles, disappearing into the air or hitting the ground.

The ground where several people were located changed rapidly with the control of the triangle, sometimes turning into a grassland, sometimes a desert, sometimes in a forest stream, sometimes in the desert Gobi, in just a few minutes, the four of them did not move, and they had already stood at the foot of the towering mountain range.

"Master Norma has become lazy without our care, this formation should be changed once every three months, so as not to be suspected by people outside. "Although Gollum is not as proficient in the formation as the triangle, he has been messing with the triangle for a long time, so he naturally knows a lot about it.

Triangle is like a wild child returning home, drifting up the mountain road, and shouting: "My dear master of Norma, your loveliest servant Triangle has come back to see you, where are you!?"

Tianxian swore that if he had such a servant, he would be strangled to death immediately, so as to be quiet.

The road to the top of the mountain is extremely silent, everything here seems to be frozen by time, the grass and trees do not shake in the slightest, there are no living creatures, this area is almost a forbidden area for living beings, Tianxian is actually very sympathetic to Norma, he really doesn't know how to stay in such a place for so many years, and not only did he not go crazy, but he was also bent on saving the world for the sake of mankind.

Tianxian thinks Norma is a real hero!

Norma doesn't seem to be at home, and despite the fact that the mountain trembles as Triangle shouts in a broken gong voice, Norma doesn't get a response.

"Maybe Master Norma has already changed his formation outside and will be back soon. The triangle circled around the black trunk of the tree, and every plant and tree here was very dear to him.

Gollum suddenly said, "As soon as we approach the Divine Domain, Master Norma should know. Isn't it...... He thinks you're too annoying and doesn't want to see you. ”

"What! I'm annoying? How can I be annoying? I'm the most useful servant created by Master Norma, who is in charge of the formation of the Thunder Ancient City, how can you, a guy with a brain and limbs in his belly, understand my greatness?"

For Triangle's persistence and boasting, Gollum is no longer surprised and doesn't bother to pay attention to him.

Turn the hill again. It is said to be Norma's residence, and Tianxian has never been to Norma's residence for the first time, but he also feels fresh, and he doesn't know what Norma's life is like.

Triangle and Gollum both couldn't wait to fly up, and the four of them followed closely behind.

Suddenly, the triangular and grunting sounds disappeared.

Tian Xian suddenly wondered, why did these two noisy guys suddenly stop moving, could it be that Norma really thought they were too noisy and shut their mouths......

At the end of the mountain trail is a corner. Further up is a flat field, where Norma is.

As soon as Tian Xian walked up, he saw Norma at first sight. Still tall, with a human upper body and a four-hoofed giant horse.

He stood upright in the open ground with a large spear in his hand, the broken half of the spear in his hand and the other half in his chest. Piercing through his back, the bright blue lines on his body had completely dimmed. It's like a pitch-black statue.

Norma died.

Seeing this scene was like a thunderbolt on the top of his head, and the three of them were shocked when they saw Norma's appearance.

Triangle and Gollum were completely stunned, floating in the air in a daze, as if they had lost all consciousness in an instant.

Tian Xian rushed forward quickly, but quickly stopped.

Tianxian looked at Norma in disbelief, looking at this human being. And he is not a human hero, looking at him closely, Tianxian is sure that he is indeed dead, and he has been dead for a long time.

His body was covered in shocking scars. It was as if he had been killed in a terrible fight, and the trees around the ground were full of traces of fierce fighting.

"Master Norma!"

Triangle and Gollum screamed and rushed up together, they had no hands or feet, no eyes or nose, no movement, no expression, and the great sorrow of the life of the creation turned into a cry of pain that resounded throughout the mountain.

"Black, this ...... What's going on?" Snow asked, uneasy.

Tianxian's face was solemn, and he gestured to Gu Li with his eyes, and Gu Li immediately nodded and stepped forward to check Norma's body with Tian Xian.

Sadly, Norma is no longer human, his body is not ordinary flesh, his corpse is like a stone, and if it weren't for the fact that Norma was once a living being, Tianxian could hardly believe that this stone was once able to move.

The time of the injuries on his body cannot be verified at all, and the date of Norma's death is unknown, only judging from the new and old traces of the fighting around him, he has been dead for a long time, at least a few months.

Looking around, Tian Xian saw that there was a simple small house on this flat land, but now it has been destroyed by some great force, judging from the jagged wood stubble, it seems as if it was trampled by some giant beast, and there are many thick and scratches on the ground, not like the marks left by the sword, nor like the marks of the body rubbing.

Then there is the slight deformation of Norma's body, which seems to have been hit by some kind of huge force.

Norma is no longer human, although Tian Xian does not know what he should be, but at least he is a kind of existence beyond humans, perhaps to put it bluntly, he is a demigod, he has traveled through the various worlds from the portals left by the gods, and has obtained magical powers, which can create creatures like Triangle and Gollum.

He may be the only demigod on the human continent who can create life.

Someone could kill him?

Tianxian never thought that there was such a possibility, the holy land that human beings yearn for, the ancient city of Thunder, which is known for its rare stigmata and outstanding cultivation effect, and the inner city is an area that only the top elites of human beings are qualified to set foot in, and Norma is the one who single-handedly created this holy place that human beings are fascinated by.

His existence is above all others, he is a character who looks down on living beings from the perspective of a god, and he has no weaknesses other than that he cannot leave the ancient city of thunder.

Such Norma was actually killed, and judging from the limited traces at the scene, the other party was likely to kill Norma single-handedly.

Sanjia and Gollum are still wailing. Tian Xian motioned to the other three not to disturb them, Norma was the father of life for the two of them, so let them cry enough at this time......

Guli took the initiative to start searching for all traces around her, Ling pulled the snow and looked around, Tian Xian stood beside Norma, and fell into deep thought.

It's absolutely unbelievable that someone could kill Norma. And what is even more incomprehensible is why he killed Norma, and how did the other party come to this place, how did he know about Norma's existence?

The person who can get here through the Thunder Stock should not exist.

However, this thought only came to mind, and a name popped up in the back of my mind.

A bone-chilling chill soaked Tianxian's body.

Looking back at Gu Li and the three of them, Tian Xian clearly understood that it was not that there were no people who could come here, but now there were four people here, and it could only be said that there were only a handful of people who could come here, and there were only a handful of people. I actually know it myself......

The three of them quickly completed the search around, but unfortunately there were no valuable clues, except for some traces of suspected human blood on the ground.

"No need to look for it, let's go to the mountains!"

Tian Xian quickly led the three of them up the mountain and came to the door where Norma had entered and exited this world.

"Don't come close, you'll be sucked in. ”

Tian Xian stopped the three of them from a distance, "Take a look around." Are there any suspicious traces. ”

Soon, Guli found a clue. "Come and see!"

A few people ran over quickly, and suddenly gasped.

On the front of the huge portal, there were a series of clear traces on the ground frozen by time, and the dead branches and leaves on the ground had obviously been dragged by something, and the closer they got to the portal, the more messy it became, as if something had been dragged in by the huge suction force of the portal.

But the most shocking thing is. Right next to this trace, there is a clear series of footprints.

These are human footprints.

The direction of the footprints was from inside the door and disappeared all the way to the mountain road, and the footprints on the ground were deep and heavy. It seems that this is a person weighing thousands of pounds stepping on, but according to Tianxian and Gu Li's judgment of the size of the footprints, this should be a footprint that only a hardcover and not tall person has.

"Someone has been dragged in......" Snow looked worriedly at the traces on the ground.

Gu Li looked much more uneasy, "What's more important...... Someone came out of it. ”

Tian Xian felt a little numb in his scalp.

Someone came out of the door! Someone came out of the door!

Who are they? How can people come out of it? Only those guys will come out of it! These portals are for this day!

Everything was too sudden.

Norma's death, there is a returnee in the portal!

"Let's go back!"

Feeling uneasy, Tian Xian and the three of them returned to the flat ground below the mountain, Triangle and Gollum still wailing in front of Norma's corpse.

Tian Xian calmed down for a while, silently ran the reverse heart trick, and let his hot mind become able to think again.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine......" Seeing that the three female companions were all looking at him with worried eyes, Tian Xian smiled, "It's just a little sudden......"

"Triangle, Gollum, you two come here!"

Triangle and Gollum heard Tianxian's call, and flew over crying, "Master, please avenge Master Norma!

Tianxian looked at the two of them like this, and sighed slightly in his heart, even if it is not a real life, but the relationship between Triangle and Gollum is real, today is the day they lost their loved ones......

"I will, if I catch that guy, I won't let him go, but now I need the help of both of you, don't cry. ”

Crying without tears may be even more sorrowful, Sanjia and Gollum seem to have been crushed by this heavy blow, and the words of Tianxian have somewhat reinvigorated them.

"Master, please command, as long as you can avenge Master Norma, you can do anything!"

Tian Xian asked directly: "Do you know that there is something extremely important in Norma, or something of great value?

Triangle and Gollum were silent for a moment, both thinking for a while, and both said they didn't know about it.

Tian Xian actually knew that the probability of this possibility was very small, Norma returned from another world, and even her body could not be autonomous. The possibility of bringing back the treasure is almost equal to none.

Combined with Norma's strength and the traces near the portal, it is most likely that the man who came out of the portal attacked Norma and managed to kill him.

The footprints are human, the blood on the ground also looks human, and only the power that kills Norma is inhuman......

Barbalot?

Tian Xian once again doubted the name, and the evil young man had disappeared since he left the Divine Domain. Now a series of things have made him the focus of suspicion, and this time is it related to him?

Tian Xian can't be sure, the only thing that can be sure now is that in the portal left by the gods, there is finally an existence with inhuman power that has come out, this guy is now hiding on the human continent, and a bloody storm will soon envelop the entire human head.

It's too fast, it's all happening too fast!

"Let's bury Norma, bury him like a hero. ”

Tianxian dug a large pit and planned to bury Norma. The hero was laid to rest, but when Norma's body was moved, it was found that his body was as if it had taken root.

"Wait, wait! Norma's master's side...... There is a formation to guard!" Triangle suddenly found something and shouted.

Tian Xian was stunned for a moment, "There is a formation to guard?"

He was upset and nervous just now, and Tian Xian didn't pay attention to this, but as soon as Triangle reminded him, he immediately found that there was indeed an inconspicuous formation around Norma's corpse guarding him.

It's not a great formation. It's just that Norma's body doesn't fall still, and the reason why Norma is still standing here after being dead for months. The reason is that this small formation will not be discovered at all if you don't look closely.

Could it be that this is some message left by Norma, and Tianxian's heart suddenly warmed up.

Carefully lifted this guardian array, and the four of Tianxian stood in four directions to place Norma's tall body and fell, but as soon as this formation was lifted, Norma's body immediately cracked.

"Click" sound. Numerous cracks appeared in Norma's body, shattering rapidly.

The four of them were taken aback, and were about to restart the formation, when a halo suddenly floated up from Norma's shattered body.

This halo landed gently like a spark and stretched out. The result is a shiny, transparent form.

"Norma!" exclaimed.

"Master Norma!" Triangle and Gollum rushed forward in surprise, but they passed through Norma's body without hindrance, and couldn't help but froze.

Norma, as she had been before, just looked like a spirit.

Gently stepping on the ground, Norma moved her body, as if she was a little unfamiliar with her current state, "We meet again, human, and I hope you have a new companion, because when you hear these words, it means that I am dead." ”

Tianxian's heart was half cold, and this was just Norma's last words left in some way.

"This is the message that I left in my body, if my body collapses naturally, it will be shown to those present, I believe that no one will treat my body well, so the person who hears this must be you. ”

Tianxian smiled bitterly, and he couldn't really be happy at all when he heard such words.

"Human, if I died, then the situation that proved my fears had happened, I didn't want to leave these things to you so early, but I have no choice, and in the same way, you have no choice. ”

Norma looked a little uneasy, "Before giving you these things, you must understand that everything I do is for the sake of human beings to survive independently, and even you can't interfere with this existence. ”

Tianxian couldn't help but be surprised.

"I have traveled through various worlds, learned a lot of secret arts, learned a lot of powers that do not belong to this world, these powers are actually the unpredictable powers of those gods, I will leave this power to you, this is the only thing I can do, I only hope to ...... Hello for yourself. ”

Norma moved her hooves uneasily, "In the east, I feel a strong call, a portal is opening, go there and check it, you will definitely gain something." ”

After a moment of silence, Norma warned: "Remember, you can't do anything on your own, you must unite everyone's strength to fight it, otherwise...... Can only be like me. ”

"Also, compared to the power I left you, Triangle and Gollum are the biggest help I have left you, please ...... Be kind to them. ”

In the end, Norma seemed a little melancholy.

Triangle and Gollum wept when they heard this.

"This is my memory, my knowledge, and a part of my power, and Triangle and Gollum will help you inherit them completely. ”

With a silent sigh at the end, Norma's illusory body turned into a halo of light again, and divided into three balls of light, one red, one green and one blue, the red ball of light was slightly larger, and the blue-green ball of light was slightly smaller.

The red ball of light fell towards Tianxian, the green fell towards Gollum, and the blue fell towards the triangle.

Triangle and Gollum stiffened like stone the moment the ball of light melted into his body, and Tian Xian felt an inexplicable thing explode in his body!

It was a strong feeling of something gushing out from the depths of the body, a huge amount of memories poured into the brain, and an inexplicable and wonderful power filled the body.

The impact was more violent than being washed by energy in the marrow eating forest, and the strong physique fainted all of a sudden.

......

When Tianxian woke up again, he felt that his body was slightly jolting up and down, and the flowing clouds flew in front of him, and he was already on Xiao Ash's back.

"Wake up, wake up, he's awake!" was Gu Li's surprised voice.

Xue and Ling's faces also came into view quickly, and they looked at themselves anxiously with Gu Li, and smiled dryly, "What are you doing...... I, I'm fine. ”

Gu Li touched the corners of her eyes, "Little bastard, you want to scare us to death!"

Tian Xian smiled, "I'm sorry...... I suddenly felt very sleepy, so I slept for a while. ”

Xue silently lay on Tian Xian, although she didn't say anything, but judging from the slight trembling of her body, she was extremely scared in this short time.

"How long have I been unconscious?" asked Tian Xian, patting Xue lightly on the shoulder.

"Three days. Ling replied.

"So long?"

"After you passed out, the Great Sword of the Wasteland was too heavy, and it was too difficult for us to carry it, so it took three days to leave. ”

Tian Xian smiled bitterly, the desolate dust sword should be held in his hand when he was awake as light as a feather, and he sank into the mountains when he left his hand, but fortunately he still carried it on his back when he fainted, otherwise the three of them would not be able to move the sword.

"Are we going back to the desert border?"

"Hmm. Ling nodded.

Tianxian breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good...... Now, we're busy. (To be continued.) )
