Chapter 140: Prelude

The pitch-black boat slowly moved forward on the turquoise water, dragging a dozen white wakes on the mirror-like water. /.0M\\

The lake where the Hidden Witch Temple is located is the center of Yunmeng Daze, and is naturally called Yunmeng Lake. However, in the mouths of the Great Witches of the Hidden Witch Temple, it has a unique name, 'Falling Star Lake'. In the hearts of the hidden witches, this lake is the cemetery where the stars in the sky fall on earth, and it is the place where the stars shine their last rays on the ground. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain that the tens of thousands of large and small islands in this lake are changing their positions with the movement of the stars in the sky.

At the same time, the name of 'Falling Star Lake' also represents the fate of these hidden witches. The witches of the Star Sect of the Great Xia Witch Sect are known as Hidden Stars in the Witch Sect. Many people have never left this place since they came to the Hidden Witch Temple. They survive here, die quietly here, and then become the witch puppets of the Hidden Witch Temple. Their lives flashed through the sky like meteors, leaving a faint trace, and no one ever spoke of them again. Even if they were the great witches at the peak of Jiuding in their lifetimes, they were unknown after death, just like those stars that fell to the ground, leaving nothing but a hard corpse. Even their names will not be mentioned again.

Bringing together the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of generations of hidden witches since the founding of Great Xia, this 'Falling Star Lake' has become a bit strange.

There is a sticky white mist floating on the surface of the lake, and the wisps of white mist are like spider webs, which are very uncomfortable to hang on people's skin. The islands were hidden behind a thick fog, and strange sounds were constantly coming from everywhere. Occasionally, a few strange ghost fires flickered on a few small islands, and in an instant, huge magic power fluctuations spread violently from those places, and the incomparably powerful magic power made the faces of Xia Jie and Xingtian Gale standing on the bow of the ship pale for a while.

Gradually, the color of the water surface where the boat sailed changed from turquoise to light blue, from light blue to light purple, and from light purple to jet black. When the lake turned inky black, when Xia Jie's divine sense could not find out how deep the lake was, some extremely terrifying scenes appeared on the lake.

Pitch-black planks float on the surface of the lake, carried by the undercurrents below the surface of the water, slowly following a wonderful trajectory. In the middle of those wooden planks of length and width were erected wooden poles of a height of several feet, and the wooden poles carved with countless hideous talismans were inserted one by one, and gusts of yin wind blew from those wooden boards, bringing a chill that made people's internal organs almost freeze.

Those skeletons, both human and all kinds of strange beasts, according to the ratio of a human skeleton to nine monster skeletons and eighty-one common beast skeletons, formed a terrifying scene on the surface of the lake that ordinary timid people would be scared to death. The indescribable number of planks drifted slowly, and the giant boat passed lightly through their gaps, and everyone felt a few large cold hands caress lightly around their necks.

Brad Red, who was standing behind Xia Jie, suddenly screamed: "Mom, what the hell is this place, I want to go home, I want to go home... ~”

Brad Ryder was so frightened by this mysterious scene that he was scurrying across the deck in tears, and was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. These wooden planks are not only used to intimidate people, but they are arranged into a very strange witch array, which is unrecognizable by Xia Jie, who inherited most of the knowledge of the previous Heavenly Witch, and belongs to the unique witch array of the Hidden Witch Palace. This witch array has not been activated, and it already has the terrifying power of breathtaking souls, and Brad-Red's blood is slightly weaker, and he has already been invisibly robbed of his sanity by that formation.

A Hidden Witch who had stood quietly sneered in disdain, and a little yellow light from his finger shot above Brad Red's head. Brad Red, who was scurrying around like crazy, suddenly stiffened, rolled his dull eyes a few times, and fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Han Xin took a few steps closer to Xia Jie, and his fingers held Xia Jie's hand a little tremblingly. Xia Jie was slightly stunned, shook her little hand hard, and said strangely in her heart: "As Li Wu, could it be that she is still afraid of ghosts?

The faces of the five sea priests were also extremely ugly, and their eyes did not turn at all to stare at those large arrays of skeletons that were too numerous to count, and their bodies trembled slightly. Mutu, who was also responsible for their protection, also turned blue for a while, and muttered: "Barbaric, ferocious, uncivilized primitives! God, how many people have they killed?" Mutu and a few werewolf generals held the weapons of mass destruction on their waists with their hands, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The giant boat continued to drive forward, and a white mountain appeared in front of it, and the giant boat suddenly changed its formation, lined up in a straight line, aimed at a gap in the middle of the mountain, and cautiously leaned over. The mountain was nearly a thousand feet high, and a large number of them were on the surface of the lake. The distance was far away, and Xia Jie's eyesight still couldn't see clearly through the thick white mist, and when the wooden boat gradually got closer, and saw the appearance and shape of the mountain clearly, Xia Jie gasped violently.

Sandwiched between the two large islands in the middle of the waterway, Bai Shengsheng is like a snow-white mountain, just the upper half of a skull. The giant boat was now aimed at the nostrils of the skull. Xia Jie stiffened as he watched the huge black nose hole engulf the fleet, and he didn't react until the fleet entered the skull.

He clutched his little hands stiffly, and raised his head stiffly, looking inside the skull with a little phosphorescent glitter. The turquoise phosphorescence made the large space inside the skull very bright, and it could be seen that this skull was very different from the skeleton of ordinary people, and the few giant horns on the top of the pier were not something that humans could have. And the internal structure of the skull is very different from the human head that is commonly seen. The lake in this skull is exceptionally clear and clear, and everyone can clearly see that a huge skeleton is stuck in this cliff between the two large islands, which can be stuck in this waterway.

With his hands behind his back, and the black wooden staff in his hand lightly tapping the deck, Taiyi walked to Xia Jie's side and sighed faintly: "This is the bones of the gods." What is left of the ancient gods after death? Hey, compared to the Chiyou bone you made that stick, this pile of bones is still a little worse, especially when stacked at the gate to watch the door, it is also quite majestic, so no one has touched it. Tsk, look at it. ”

Taiyi's hand pointed to the back of the huge skull, where there was a huge wound. With Xia Jie's eyesight and experience, it should be a wound unique to being pierced by a sharp sword.

"Killed by the sword?" Xia Jie muttered a little. Han Xin also looked at the wound blankly, his pale cyan eyebrows frowned tightly, and he seemed to be racking his brains to imagine who could kill such a strong god with a sword. As Li Wu, she naturally understands how far the Great Witch of the peak of Jiuding is from the Heavenly God Dao, a real Heavenly God, and that strength is a powerful existence that cannot be matched by a hundred Jiuding Great Witches.

"Yes, when this skeleton fell from the sky, the hidden witches of that generation examined the wounds on his body. A sword breaks the brain, and no one is spared. Taiyi grabbed his messy and dirty beard and said with a little sadness: "However, no one among the gods is famous for carrying swords, especially if killing a god with just one sword is not something that ordinary gods can do." ”

Xia Jie raised his eyebrows, he thought of the four-colored light floating behind someone's head. If there are still people in the world whose swords can have such power, perhaps, only him, right?

Thinking of this, Xia Jie glanced back. Sure enough, Guang Chengzi, Red Sperm, and Yun Zhongzi looked at the wound with strange faces. Duobao Daoren, Our Lady of Jin Ling, Our Lady of Turtle Spirit, Zhao Gongming, Jinguang Daoren, and Wuyun Dao people put on a posture of mouth, nose, and heart meditation, and didn't even look at the wound. Xia Jie has a score in his heart, and his feelings are really inseparable from the master he recognizes. It's just that when did the Qi Refiner ever have a conflict with these ancient gods?

Could it be that it was also to snatch the freedom of missionary work? Or to put it bluntly, the two sides fought fiercely in order to grab territory?

Xia Jie turned his head and watched as the fleet cautiously passed through the gap in the back of the skull's head with the sword mark and continued to move forward. Duobao Daoren raised his head, he took out four short swords from his sleeve for a while, and gestured towards the wound for a long time, and finally threw the four small swords into his sleeve in discouragement, as if he had lost faith in them. The Jinguang Dao people on the side giggled a few times, pointed to the wound and teased the Duobao Dao people.

Several of the sea priests who had been in a daze since they saw this huge skeleton suddenly screamed at the same time, and the sea priest who called himself Wolfs-Alexander screamed: "O god of the sea, is there such a big humanoid creature in this world? Is it possible? Oh, stop the boat, stop the boat! Let me collect some of his genetic specimens! Please, stop the ship!"

The five sea priests cried and shouted for the giant boat to turn around, but where would the hidden witches who controlled the giant boat pay attention to them? The giant boat still drove forward firmly, and more than a dozen hidden witches surrounded the five sea priests, strictly forbidding them to cast spells to get close to the bones of the gods.

Tai Yi glanced back at these sea priests, and a sneer appeared on his face: "When I am stupid, you can use toothed wolves and humans to make these monsters that can change, God knows what you can make with the bones of the gods? If you really create the gods, how can we fight with you in Great Xia?" Tai Yi spewed out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and there was suddenly a thick yellow stain on the surface of the lake, which was originally clean and without any impurities, and it didn't look dazzling.

Xia Jie was also secretly vigilant in his heart. The sea people can mix the genes of toothed wolves and humans to make werewolves, and if they get the genes of the gods, they really can't copy the gods. Not to mention the original goods, even if it is an imitation that has shrunk a hundred times in strength, it is a matter of human life!

At that moment, he glanced at the red starling, and the red starling nodded knowingly, and walked to the side of the five sea priests with his mount rain worker Shi Shiran in his arms, he had made up his mind to entangle this group of people.

The giant boat continued to move forward, and finally, Bai, who was squatting on top of Xia Jie's head, let out a sharp cry and jumped up excitedly.

In front of the fleet, something dark suddenly appeared, and the 'Hidden Star Island' where the Hidden Witch Temple was located had arrived.

The shape of this island is round, the diameter is hundreds of miles, and a pen peak in the center of the island pierces the sky, and the height is nearly 10,000 zhang. The diameter of the pen peak, which is almost the same thickness up and down, is ten miles, and the top is as flat as a stone, and a strangely shaped palace is like a wild goose with open wings, standing majestically in the high air where the wind is whistling. Coiling around the peak, there was a narrow path that only allowed two people to cross each other without railings, and several people in black witch robes were walking on the path at the moment. The trail connects the entrances to hundreds of caves on the mountain, each of which is glowing with ghostly phosphorescent light, and in broad daylight it is ghostly.

The island is full of forests, and the black leaves and branches give people an extremely oppressive and gloomy feeling. Some snake-shaped poison was wrapped around the trunk of the tree that was nearly a hundred feet high, and the cold shuttle-shaped pupils without any temperature looked at the direction of the fleet, Rao is Xia Jie was bold, seeing these terrifying snake-shaped poisons, the cold hairs on his body still stood up one by one.

The fleet docked at a rudimentary dock, and hundreds of hidden witches had ghostly emerged from the black forest, standing quietly on the beach, watching the giggling Taiyi lead the group out of the boat. Thinking that Taiyi had already greeted his subordinates, a hidden witch quietly floated out of the team, waved his hand lightly, and said lightly: "Everyone, please come with me... This black witch forest is extremely dangerous, please don't walk around. ”

Brad Red, who had just woken up from his sleep, was about to start laughing at the danger of a forest, when a strange 'sizzle' sound came from the dense forest near the dock, and a dozen strange snakes as thin as a baby's arm, dozens of feet long, flat like a piece of paper, and with a single horn all over the body, had rushed out quickly. These dozen or so strange snakes were suspended in the air about three feet above the ground, a burst of twisted and jumping, hideous faces and twisted bodies, and the long barbed fangs in their mouths, giving people a feeling of horror in addition to being terrifying, it was like a nightmare scene.

Brad Ryder'ah... ~', he didn't pounce on Mu Tu this time, but instinctively rushed to Xia Jie's side, curled up between Xia Jie's legs, and let out a terrifying scream from his mouth: "God, I am the messenger of Atlantis, you have the obligation to ensure the safety of my life! God, what kind of monster is this? God, woo, I want to find my mother!"

A drop of cold sweat dripped from Xia Jie's eyebrows, Han Xin and Bai on the side rolled their eyes, Mu Tu lowered his head with a red face, everyone looked at Brad Rhett stupidly, and no one said anything for a long time. After a long time, Xia Jie squatted down helplessly, and said to Brad Rhett who was curled up between his legs and reassured him: "Don't worry, it's safe, there are all the great witches of the Hidden Witch Hall here, and these monsters don't dare to get close." Don't worry!"

Brad Ryder had just crawled out of Xia Jie's legs tremblingly, and the hidden witch had already said coldly: "Follow us closely, don't go astray." The toxicity of these 'soul snakes', unless there is a unique solution from the Li Wu Palace, even if one of the nine great witches will die. The hidden witch sneered maliciously, "Unfortunately, we don't have a solution here. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!"

At the same time, the Hidden Witch let out an inexplicable sneer, and Brad Red, who had just returned to normal, almost crouched on the ground again with four hooves.

The face on the side became three points faster than Brad Red's, and she instinctively grasped her sleeve with one hand, glaring at the hidden witches with extreme vigilance. She muttered softly, "Hmph, these people are dead, don't think I will take out a danzhu." Where is it so easy to get the antidote to the venom of the 'Soul Hooking Snake'?"

Only Xia Jie and Bai, who were close to Han Xin, heard Han Xin's self-talk, Bai cracked his big mouth and laughed 'quack', Xia Jie shook his head helplessly, Han Xin is really a little girl's temper, this little family has reached the extreme. However, Xia Jie is sure that if Brad Rhett and these people were bitten by the 'Soul Hooking Snake', Han Xin would never take out the witch to treat them. Don't ask Xia Jie why, it's his intuition. It's like in his previous life, when he was lying in the hospital, he clearly knew that Xiaohua would deliberately make him suffer if he gave him an injection... Intuition, man's intuition!

With more than a dozen 'soul hooking snakes' there to advertise, and some strange poisons that made Xia Jie's heart tremble, they kept coming out of the dense forest and spraying poisonous gas and poisonous flames towards everyone, and the speed of the team on the dirt road in the Black Witch Forest that was only three zhang wide was amazingly fast. Brad Red flicked four short hooves and fluttered desperately, and all five of the Sea Priests were about to run three points faster than Mutu.

The team traveled through the dense forest for two hours, and the long road ended when Brad Red and the five sea priests were nearly driven mad by the poison. Everyone's eyes were bright for a while, and a palace complex built of black boulders, which was extremely simple to the extreme, with a very heavy barbaric atmosphere, appeared in front of everyone.

These palaces have the unique characteristics of Bactrian architecture, that is, they are tall, heavy, and durable. These palaces also did not consider any aesthetic issues, that is, large and small rectangles and cubes towered over a large flat land. The black boulders weren't even polished much, and the exterior of the palace was rough and the shape wasn't very regular.

However, when these huge palaces, which were at least ten zhang high and a hundred zhang long and wide, really appeared in front of them, and not one, but nearly a thousand such palaces appeared in front of them at the same time, this shock made everyone stunned there. All the people who saw these palaces for the first time were shocked by the wild and old aura that was invisibly exuded from the palaces, and they couldn't say a word for a long time, and they couldn't even move their fingers.

After a long time, the silence was broken by a subconscious mutter: "It's really... It's boring... These palaces... They were all trained into witchcraft... It's really... It's boring!"

There was a soft sound of 'pop', and Han Xin, who had woken up from the shock, stood on tiptoe and gently slapped Xia Jie's face. Xia Jie took a sharp breath, and suddenly woke up from the powerful aura of almost living creatures emanating from those palaces. He moved his neck and pinched Bai fiercely, Bai let out a scream, and danced in horror on the top of Xia Jie's head, pointing at those palaces and constantly letting out a low roar.

Xuanwu, who had been doing nothing, opened his big mouth and bit Mizumotoko's ass fiercely.

Shui Yuanzi screamed, hugged her ass and jumped up. He viciously sacrificed the Aoi Water God Thunder on his hands, wanting to teach a hard lesson to the arrogant people who dared to break ground on the ass of his water sacrifice wine. However, when he found out that the person who bit his ass was Xuanwu, Shui Yuanzi's face immediately bloomed with an incomparably bright smile, and he took out a few fresh fruits from his sleeve very attentively and fed them to this Xuanwu Divine Turtle that could trap him at any time.

Guangchengzi and they also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and the Duobao Dao people praised there: "Wonderful, what a big stroke." These palaces are all made of the stars falling from the sky as materials, and all the palaces have been sacrificed into magic weapons, many palaces are integrated, faintly communicating the power of Zhou Tianxingchen, and echoing the inside and outside of the large array naturally formed by many small islands on the lake... Once launched, it has the power to break through Hongmeng and reopen the flood. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

As the first person to refine magic weapons under the three sects, the evaluation of the Duobao Daoist is enough to prove the strength of the Hidden Witch Palace. Breaking the Hongmeng and reopening the flood wilderness, this kind of thing is not something that everyone can say, and not every force has the strength to do it.

Guang Chengzi chuckled indifferently, he shook his head and said, "It's just, Senior Brother Duobao, do you think that with the power of the Witch Sect now, you can still launch this great array?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, nodded thoughtfully, and then stood three feet behind Xia Jie together, never saying a word again.

Taiyi stood beside Xia Jie, waving his black wooden staff and sighing bitterly with a bitter face: "Little girl, are you bored? If you can only stay on this island for the rest of your life, there is nothing else to do, and even when no one asks you to kill someone, you will be so bored... Is it just that these palaces have been trained into witchcraft? Let me tell you honestly, this 'Hidden Star Island' has also been trained into witchcraft... How many great witches have taken over the refining from generation to generation... Gee. ”

Taiyi was a little nervous, but he quickly jumped up and smashed a wooden staff on Mutu's instep. Taiyi laughed and said, "You dolls, why are you dumbfounded?"

'Whew... ~'With a scream, Mutu's footboard was almost smashed to pieces by Taiyi, and the black wooden cane hit people with extra pain, and with a light blow, it was as if the whole body was torn apart. Mutu hugged the foot and throbbed violently a few times, tears flowing uncontrollably.

Brad Red and the others were all awakened, and these sea people took a breath of cool air at the same time, and carefully looked at these inconspicuous palaces with a little horror and a little reverence. Just now, it was as if they had suddenly faced a terrifying ancient beast, and they didn't have the slightest resistance at all, and they were shocked by the powerful aura emanating from these palaces. At this moment, they came to their senses, so that they could really take a closer look at the specific appearance of these palaces.

At the same time, the ears of the five sea priests heard the voice of Andorra in the Doomsday Bastion overhead: "Ahem, dear Your Excellency the 'Sea Priests', please note that according to our scannings, there are 1,375 humans and 379,872 non-human beasts on this island. Eight men are coming to you right now, so please pay attention. ”

After a while, Andorra's lazy voice continued to sound: "It seems that the Xia people are more sincere in wanting to sacrifice the primordial witch wand this time. There aren't many people on this island, and we have the strength at hand to control this island at any time. He joked: "If there is any danger, please five noble Excellencies immediately shout for help, and I will drop ten thousand killers down." Bless you! Poseidon is bless you!"

As the faces of the five 'sea priests' were turning ugly, Andorra's angry voice came out again: "Oh, by the way, I sincerely tell you Excellencies, if you are unfortunate enough to die this time, I will take good care of your wives and your daughters. Don't be grateful, it's your duty as a citizen of Atlantis!"

Thor's wild laughter came from the headphones: "Oh, Andorra, you're going to be mad at them! They are impostors, but they are also sacrifices of the temple after all!"

This was the end of the communication, and the faces of the five sea priests turned pale, and even when Xia Jie introduced them to the eight old men who came in front of them, they didn't hear what Xia Jie said.

Heavenly Witch, Earth Witch, Spirit Witch, Phantom Witch, Force Witch, Turning Witch, Phantom Witch, Ling Witch, plus Li Witch standing beside Xia Jie, the nine hall masters of the Great Xia Witch Sect were all present.
