Chapter 1977 Black Mist Canyon
Xuancheng, north gate.
Dozens of tamed giant scaly beasts lined up and stood behind the city gate, none of them dared to move or scream.
"Very good, it seems that you all are people of strong minds, and you will surely gain a lot from this trip.
Before we set off, I have one more thing to remind you. Although Puppet City has temporarily joined forces with us, we must be on guard. I hope you can unite and work together to find the secret treasure."
A forced melon is not sweet. After gathering all the selected people together, Erkui revealed the plan to explore Daxu with Kuicheng, and let everyone decide for themselves whether to stay or leave.
But it is obvious that among the people present, none of them are timid or cowardly, as they are the best among the many Xuanists in Xuancheng.
With a great opportunity ahead of them, they must give it a try no matter what!
"I will follow the city lord's orders!"
Everyone accepted the order in unison.
Seeing this, Erqi nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and the city gate opened with a rumble.
As the sound of "dong dong dong" footsteps sounded, the team of giant beasts began to pass through the gate and walk out of the city.
Everyone immediately jumped onto the mounts assigned to them.
The scaly beast in the lead was over a hundred feet tall, with a head like a green lion and a body like a giant crocodile. On its back was a black stone palace with carved doorposts and dotted with star bones. It looked quite gorgeous. It was exactly the palace of Erqi.
Although the dozen or so black-scaled elephants behind them also carried black stone palaces, their shapes were simple and plain, and could not be compared with Erqi's at all.
As one of the four subordinate city lords, Zhu Yan alone owns a stone palace. Luo Hong naturally brings Fang Chan to ride on a beast with him.
It was almost the same for Han Lao Mo. He brought Zi Ling, Chen Yang and Gu Qianxun into the same black stone hall.
Half an hour later, the team passed a pass in the mountains and the view immediately became open.
It was also at this time that Luo Hong saw the team from Puppet City for the first time.
The other side also used black-scaled elephants as their main beasts of burden, but each of those black-scaled elephants exuded the aura of death, with animal cores embedded in their chests and two sharp spears protruding from their mouths. They were actually puppets.
Suddenly, a figure flew out from the Puppet City team, and in less than three breaths, arrived in front of the Xuan City team, hovering in the air.
It is impossible to use escape techniques in the Jilin Sky Realm, and naturally one cannot fly, so the abnormal behavior of the visitor immediately caused some commotion among the people in Xuancheng.
However, Luo Hong's spiritual awareness was strong enough that he discovered the other party's reliance early on.
He looked up and saw a dark cloud in the sky. He knew there was a scaly-winged bird hidden in the cloud.
Thin threads invisible to the naked eye hung down from the clouds and connected to the human figure, allowing it to fly in the air.
Looking at that person, it turned out to be a very charming and beautiful woman. Her graceful body was wrapped in a black skirt, and her two snow-white thighs were exposed, which looked extremely attractive.
"My fellow city lords and fellow Taoists of Xuan City, Lord Sha Xin asked me to come and inform you that in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts, it would be best for our two city teams to keep a certain distance from each other before reaching their destination, traveling one after the other."
The woman in the black dress spoke in a seductive voice.
Hearing this, Xuancheng was silent for a moment, and then a white-armored guard beside Erqi, Zhu Ziyuan, who was also one of the top ten in the martial arts competition, passed on the message:
"Please go back and inform them that our Lord Erqi has the same intention."
The woman in the black dress nodded slightly and ordered the winged bird above her head to fly her back to the Puppet City team.
Soon, a loud horn sounded from the Puppet City team, and the scaly beast puppets lying on the hillside began to stand up one by one and move slowly forward.
The Xuancheng team followed closely about five or six hundred feet behind them, and the atmosphere between the two sides seemed to be quite harmonious.
Several years passed in a flash, and one day the black stone hall stopped shaking again. Luo Hong, who had long been accustomed to it, did not even open his eyes, and was still thinking about his Xuan Dao killing move.
After all, the further they went away from Xuancheng, the harsher the environment became, and they were often attacked by powerful scaly beasts.
So, it is common to stop suddenly like this.
However, the situation this time is different.
"Brother Luo, we seem to be almost there, you'd better come out and take a look."
Zhu Yan's call came, and Luo Hong had just reached a bottleneck, so he thought of relaxing before continuing.
Standing up and walking outside the stone hall, Luo Hong stood on top of the black-scaled elephant and looked around.
The surrounding terrain was clearly visible, and both the Xuan Kui and the other two teams were calm, with no signs of an attack by scaled beasts.
However, on the land a hundred miles away, the space was obviously distorted. A chaotic space rift raged there like a storm, clearly splitting the void.
And below that area full of space cracks, there is a terrifying bottomless rift, which stretches out in both directions with no end in sight!
The rift was pitch black, with wisps of black fog rising up. Every few meters, one could see a huge black vortex, stirring the fog and spinning non-stop, like the eyes of a demon.
"What a violent force of space! Even though we are so far apart, I can still feel the tearing force. It seems that this is the natural chasm that Erqi mentioned!"
Seeing this scene, Luo Hong couldn't help but frown. Part of the reason was because those black mist whirlpools contained terrifying spatial power, but more because these black mist whirlpools gave him a familiar feeling.
"Strange, why is the aura of these black fog vortexes similar to the bottomless vortexes I saw in the outer world before? Is there any connection between the two?"
After a brief recollection, Luo Hong grasped the source of this familiar feeling, and couldn't help feeling very confused.
The trip to the bottomless vortex did not leave Luo Hong with any good memories. Even if his cultivation level broke through to the Daluo level in the future, he had no interest in exploring it again.
"Brother Luo, I have already asked around. The Great Ruins we are going to is just behind that great rift valley, so we must cross it."
At this time, Zhu Yan jumped to Luo Hong and told him the news he had heard.
"What method have the two city lords prepared for the crossing?"
Luo Hong asked calmly.
This natural barrier is the main culprit that prevents the two cities of Xuankui from exploring the Great Ruins. It will take a million years for it to enter a period of decline.
Because of this, Erqi and Shaxin must have been prepared for this.
"We don't know yet, but Lord Erqi has already gone to meet with Sha Xin. I believe that news will come back soon."
Zhu Yan shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure rose up from the Puppet City team, flew over a hundred feet in the sky, and fell towards this side.
I saw that he was of medium build and ordinary appearance, but he had an extremely powerful aura. It was none other than Erkui!
When he was about to land, he spread out the five fingers of both hands and pressed lightly in the air. The downward momentum of his body suddenly slowed down, and finally he landed on the head of the lion-headed scaly beast as light as a feather.
"Everyone in Xuancheng, listen up. Follow the direction of the rift valley and continue to move eastward. Pay attention to the changes in the space rifts along the way. Don't get lost in them, and don't leave the team!"
A not-so-loud voice sounded, but it seemed to have a soul-shaking power that penetrated everyone's heart.
"I see. They don't have any other solution?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Hong knew that the method of crossing the river discussed by the two city lords was nothing special. It just relied on choosing the safest route.
Soon, the two teams set out again, moving slowly towards the east, one after the other.
Along the way, Luo Hong occasionally saw some scaly beasts that mistakenly entered the range of the space cracks and were directly cut into pieces, dying a very miserable death.
There were also some scaly beasts that were good at flying. When they were being hunted by their natural enemies, they passed over the rift valley and could not resist the powerful attraction of the black fog vortexes, and were swallowed up whole!
After traveling eastward for about half a year, the two teams followed the rift valley and arrived at a massive mountain range.
This mountain range is very strange. Half of it appears golden red under the setting sun, while the other half is dim and appears a strange blue color.
The place where the two teams entered the mountain was in the latter. Even though it was still at the edge of the mountain, Luo Hong could already clearly feel a slight chill.
You know, he is a Xuanist in the middle stage of Daluo, and his physique is so strong that few people in the fairy world can compare with him!
He felt a slight chill at this moment, and those Taiyi Xuanists must be feeling even worse.
Although the mountain range is large, when viewed from a high vantage point, it is still divided into two halves by the black fog rift!
"Brother Luo, we are going to go into the mountains next.
According to the Lord of Erqi City, half of this mountain range is extremely cold, and the other half is extremely hot, and a very terrifying phenomenon will form at the junction of the two sides.
It just so happens that this mountain range is penetrated by a black fog rift, so there will be a place where the two visions collide.
By offsetting each other, a relatively safe area is formed.
As long as we pass through that area, we can enter Daxu!"
Zhu Yan came to Luo Hong again to report the information he had found out.
"Well, has Brother Zhu's blood cloud of sulfur flame been completely refined?"
Luo Hong nodded when he heard this, but then abruptly changed the subject.
"I just refined it a year ago. This sulfur flame blood cloud is worthy of being a treasure for my kind of Xuan Xiu. Not only did it help me recover from my orifice injuries, it also helped me open three Xuan orifices in one fell swoop!"
Although Zhu Yan was somewhat confused at the moment, he still spoke with excitement on his face.
After all, although three mysterious orifices are not many, it is a lot when he has reached the peak of Taiyi.
Zhu Yan is now a Xuanist in the early stage of Daluo!
"There are many dangers in this mountain. I will rely on Brother Zhu's protection from now on."
After saying that, Luo Hong stood up and walked out of the black stone hall.
He didn't mean to give Zhu Yan something to do, but the closer he got to the mountains, the stronger the inexplicable feeling of palpitations became.
This was by no means a trivial matter that could be ignored, so Luo Hong decided to temporarily postpone his comprehending the Xuan Dao's killing move. After entering the mountain, he concentrated on observing the situation in the mountain until he found out the cause!
As soon as I walked out of the stone hall, the sounds of horns and bells rang out at the same time.
The two teams immediately came together, and the men from both sides gathered around their respective city lords.
Now the two sides were less than a hundred feet apart. Luo Hong glanced around and saw two people who were worthy of attention.
One of them was a burly man about two meters tall, half bald, with a high braid, looking quite funny.
But the muscles exposed on his upper body, which looked like they were carved from fine steel, made people dare not underestimate him.
Next to the big man stood a dwarf man who was less than four feet tall. He had a handsome appearance and was wearing a suit of snow-white bone armor. He stood straight and had an inexplicable aura.
The dozen or so people behind these two people were mostly women with curvaceous figures. Most of them were wearing black dresses and gauze clothes, and their faces were covered with a layer of gauze.
The woman in black dress who had driven the winged bird to communicate with Xuancheng was among them.
At this moment, a woman in a white gauze skirt, with a veil covering her face, a graceful figure and an exquisite figure walked out from the crowd.
Wherever he passed, everyone in Puppet City bowed their heads respectfully and made way for him.
Although she only moves with light lotus steps, every subtle movement can make people's hearts flutter.
Not to mention the male cultivators in Xuancheng, even the female cultivators like Gu Qianxun and Zhu Ziyuan were staring with their eyes wide open at this moment, wishing they could glue their eyes to the woman in the white dress.
"What a powerful charm! This woman must be Sha Xin, the Lord of Puppet City!"
Luo Hong calmed himself down and praised sincerely.
The pinnacle of puppetry is to use humans as puppets, and the art of charm fits perfectly with it.
Sha Xin's appearance this time was certainly not to turn the people of Xuancheng into her puppets, so she quickly restrained her flattery and began to explain her purpose.
What she wanted to say was very simple, that is, the Ice and Fire Mountains were too dangerous. Their two teams could no longer enter the mountains one after the other as before, but had to merge into one team.
"No matter how deep your hatred is, I just hope that you can let it go temporarily in the Ice and Fire Extreme Vein."
Sha Xin also knew that the deep hatred between the two cities could not be resolved by just a few words from her, so after she finished speaking, she looked at Erqi.
"The dangers of the Ice and Fire Extreme Vein are indeed far beyond your imagination. I also agree to put aside the grudges between our two cities and support each other for the time being."
Erqi nodded and agreed on behalf of Xuancheng.
Upon hearing this, everyone in Xuancheng was silent for a while, and then, led by Qin Yuan, they received the order.
Then, under the arrangement of the two city lords, the scaled beasts of both sides began to line up one after another.
In this way, if either party is in danger, only the monks from other cities can rescue them immediately.
In this way, no one would dare not to cooperate.
After all, if you fail to help someone once, you will definitely not get help the next time you are in danger.
Soon after, the herd, led by the scaled beasts of Erqi and Shaxin, began to go deep into the Ice and Fire Extreme Veins.
Luo Hong didn't care much about these. As he went deeper into the mountains, he became more and more certain that there must be some big secrets hidden in these mountains.
It was because he had discovered that the feeling of palpitations was actually caused by the little black ball!
To be precise, it was his Primordial Law that sensed something.
Listening to the sound of the mountain wind that sounded like a woman's sobbing, Luo Hong's face was as gloomy as water.
If he didn't know that Han Lao Mo and his companions had successfully entered Daxu in the original time and space, he would even have the urge to make long-term plans at this moment.
