Chapter 148: No Branch
"Cave" is a very intuitive name, the cave of the earth.
Above the floating land is the blue sky, and below the floating land is the dark sky.
The blue sky hangs high above and can be seen everywhere. The dark sky was dark, blocked by the thick and boundless earth, and it was almost impossible to see.
The Crypt is an exception.
No one can tell how the cave came to be, only that it is connected to the heavens. The entire floating land, the danger that all the tribes need to face, comes from the dark sky.
However, there is a saying in the legend of the floating land that there were many stars above the blue sky, and they fell from the blue sky to the dark sky, and in the process pierced the earth, thus forming a cave. And above the blue sky, because of the fall of the stars, there is only one Tianshu star left.
Return to the cave. The danger from the Netherworld is a very concrete existence, not nothing.
There is a slang saying in Fulu, "The fall of the blue sky is the star general, and the rise of the dark sky is the star beast." ”
By extension, it means that people are born to be good or bad. But in the extended sense, it is an objective description in itself.
The Star Beast is the greatest scourge in the floating land world.
The people on the floating land believe that the stars will be the products of the blue sky, and the star beasts are the crystallization of the dark sky.
I don't say whether this is right or wrong, but it has indeed become a consensus.
Along the way, he had a preliminary understanding of the cave from Qinghuo Qiming's mouth, and Jiang Wang probably understood why Qinghuo Qiming was very resistant to coming to the cave - his adoptive father, the last Wu Zhu of the Qinghuo Ministry, died in the cave.
Jiang Wang also deliberately inquired about the belonging of those "blue sky comers" before him, whose names may not be known, but their characteristics are easy to judge.
Lei Zhanqian is the chess master of the first red thunder department of the Lei Ministry, Li Fengyao is in the first water purification department of the water department, and Fang Chong is in the original soil department of the first soil department.
Jiang Wuxian is in the fire department, which is the first in the fire department.
In addition, the chess master of the first iron and wood department of the wood department is a man with a very ordinary appearance. From Qinghuo Qiming's description alone, Jiang Wang couldn't correspond it to the monk in his memory.
But Jiang Wang's focus is only on the first four.
He also deliberately asked about the location of the Water Purification Department, and intended to contact Li Fengyao first, mainly to see if he could ask for a suitable method of military formation to train the Qinghuo tribesmen, so that the Qinghuo soldiers who banned the power of the totem could also exert extraordinary combat power in the game of life and death. The famous generals of the Shimen Li family will definitely not lack soldiers. He didn't know anything about it.
The others had arrived in the floating land a few days earlier, and they must have tried their best to improve the combat power of those tribal warriors in the game of life and death. Jiang Wang has only started to select people now, and he has fallen behind a lot.
However, Qinghuo Qiming stopped him very seriously.
Due to the constraints of the royal contract, the tribes were not allowed to fight each other during the life and death period.
But Jiang Wang, as the chess master of the Qinghuo Clan, if he entered the territory of other tribes, he would definitely be killed to death at the first time.
Qinghuo Qiming repeatedly emphasized that this kind of thing will definitely happen.
Jiang Wang is not a person who can't listen to persuasion, so he can only give up.
In the area under the Qinghuo Department, the largest cave is called the Wuzhi Cave. The most elite fighters of the Qinghuo Department are here.
The location of the Wuzhi Cave is about twenty miles away from the Fire Temple.
"The clan needs a strong man to sit in charge, and the patriarch can't get out, so I can only bring you over. Qinghuo Qiming explained with a slightly pale face.
This is a nonsense, and the nonsense speaks to the fluctuations in his heart. He needed something to divert his emotions.
"Looks reliable. Jiang Wang said.
In front of him was a fortress made of black boulders, fixed there, like a silent beast. There is no doubt that it has a considerable degree of defensive capabilities.
"yes, it's reliable. But not because of this fortress. Qinghuo Qiming said, calmed down, and walked forward.
Outside the fortress was guarding a group of Qinghuo soldiers, Qinghuo Qiming stepped forward to communicate with them slightly, and the two strong warriors stepped aside, turned the winch, and the heavy stone gate of the fortress slowly pulled up.
Yes, the opening and closing of the fortress gate is on the outside. It's more like a prison than a fortress. The warriors inside don't look like they're protected, they're "trapped".
Behind the stone gate, there is a shadowy road. Even every few steps along the road, there is a brazier. But at its end, it still feels distant and vague.
Qinghuo Qiming swallowed his saliva: "Go in." ”
He stood still, apparently intending to let Jiang Wang hit his head. It's not in line with hospitality at all.
"Haven't you been here?" Jiang Wang asked.
"Before...... It's all waiting outside. ”
"The previous Wuzhu protected you very well. Jiang Wang said, stepping into the deep corridor.
The lifespan of the people of the floating land is about the same as that of the human race in the present world.
In fact, Jiang Wang's age is still younger than Qinghuo Qiming. But Jiang Wang has experienced too many things.
"Don't close the door yet. We'll be out soon. Before entering, Qinghuo Qiming specially said to the soldiers guarding the door.
But the gatekeeper just shook his head, and didn't give Lord Wu Zhu any affection.
"Are you still in?" Jiang Wang asked in the Yongdao, "Otherwise, you will leave a token for me, and I will go down by myself?"
Qinghuo Qiming glared at the soldier angrily for a long time, but thinking of Qinghuo's blazing temper, he could only grit his teeth in the end and walked into the corridor.
Thundered~
As soon as he walked in, the huge stone door fell again.
The long corridor is also even darker.
Qinghuo Qiming was shocked, but Jiang Wang's figure was still far away, and even the footsteps were not disturbed in the slightest. It was impossible to turn back, so I hurried a few steps under my feet and caught up with him.
"You don't know what's in the cave, that's why you're so calm. Qinghuo Qiming found the topic and said: "The ignorant are fearless. ”
"Perhaps. Jiang Wang said.
He didn't defend it, because he knew very well that Qing Huo Qiming's words were just comforting himself.
And the ignorant are not afraid of this is also very true, if Jiang Wang knew that there was any danger in it that he couldn't deal with, then he wouldn't choose to move forward at all.
The footsteps were a little abrupt in the corridor, and the firelight shone on Qinghuo Qiming's face.
The road is long, and there will be an end.
At the end stood a door made of unknown metal, pitch black. Only in the crack of the gate, there is a flame pattern.
Jiang Wang stepped aside and remained silent.
Qinghuo Qiming stepped forward and pressed his hand against the metal door, and the flame mark in the center of his eyebrows lit up.
He let go of his hand and said in a tired tone, "Wait a while." Presumably the battle is not over yet. ”
"There will be battles every day inside?" Jiang Wang asked.
"Not necessarily. But the appearance of star beasts has a sparse period and a very dense period. Generally speaking, the closer to the start of life and death chess, the more often the star beast comes up. After the end of the life and death chess, the density will drop sharply for a period of time, which is the recuperation period for most fighters. ”
"What kind of existence is a Star Beast?"
Qinghuo Qiming opened his mouth, closed it again, and was silent for a while before saying: "I don't know how to describe it to you, but when you see it with your own eyes, you will know." ”
Nearly an hour has passed.
Jiang Wang could still wait, but Qinghuo Qiming's face was getting more and more ugly.
"I don't know what's going on inside. He began to talk to himself incessantly.
The massive metal door was pulled open in the middle amid the noise.
A one-armed young man stood inside the door, leaning over the celebratory inscription, but not speaking.
Behind him—
The sporadic firelight, like a long dragon, entrenched in the long night.
