Endless route

Chapter 171 10. Entering the depths to fight the giant beast

On the dark and dark stone path, as Zheng Yun stood and watched, the others immediately stopped and looked ahead.

Seeing Zheng Yun's expression solemn.

Everyone was curious and trembling.

They squatted, stood or stood on tiptoe, each looking for a position. Those who had telescopes took out their binoculars, and those who didn't had to open their eyes wide and look through the lush vegetation.

Regardless of whether they could see clearly or could only see a shadow, they all took a breath when they saw the huge black shadow lying on the shore, holding an ancient oriental building on its body.

"Master Immortal, is this the legendary Immortal Ao?"

Zhang Ergou's face turned pale and his lips trembled slightly. According to legend, there are turtles in the East that can support mountains. The most famous one is the giant turtle from the East China Sea, which supports the three fairy mountains of Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou.

Three fairy mountains can hold it up.

That Ao is probably tens of thousands of miles in size.

The turtle in front of them was incomparable to the giant turtle in the East China Sea, but it actually appeared in front of them. The blending of myths and legends with reality brought not shock, but fear.

"Master Immortal, is this beast bad or good?"

"I've never heard Master Ji say that before."

Other little Taoist priests from Tiangong also reacted the same way.

They turned to look at Zheng Yun. There was no hint of joy on their faces, only panic and shrinkage from the bottom of their hearts.

Because it was just dark at this time.

Xianhai Lake is surrounded by a layer of green ink color, and there are still some dim white fog barriers in the sky. Xianhai Lake is like a water mirror reflecting the scenery of heaven and earth, with a dark charm.

At dawn, the sea and lake are like a fairyland.

After dark, the vibe is completely opposite.

The Xianhai Lake, which was so beautiful during the day, now hangs the lonely mountain outline upside down in the lake, and the mountains and rivers merge into one. After staring at it for a long time, you can't even see the boundary.

This situation is inherently timid.

There was actually a big turtle lying in the darkness.

The turtle is actually supporting a two-story tower, with slender eaves turned up toward the sky. You can vaguely see a string of dawn wind chimes hanging under the eaves, swaying with a crisp sound as the evening breeze blows.

Only an outline can be seen.

The tower was completely dark.

It blends into the background and intertwines with each other. If you look at it carelessly, you might think that the strange tower is the pavilion of the sea and lake at night, or the waterside pavilion along the dark stone road.

It's really weird.

Coupled with this moment, the strange sounds and movements of all kinds of exotic animals and birds echoed in their ears.

No matter how they imagined it, they couldn't think of a good word, and they couldn't think of any fairy meaning. They just felt that the tower was somewhat similar to the Hades Pavilion they had seen...

"Be patient and don't be impatient."

"I'll take a look and then talk."

Zheng Yun waved his hand to tell everyone not to worry.

"This tower is strange, but Master Xian thinks it's just right."

"To the Immortal Master, this turtle and this tower are nothing more than that. They are seven or eight grades worse than the Hades Pavilion."

Everyone felt at ease.

Zheng Yun was praised one after another.

On the one hand, it relieves inner fears, and on the other hand, it comes from the heart.

Among all the famous people present, who has not visited the Hades Pavilion, which is like the underworld?

I was frightened at the time, but as I walked I became less afraid. I was no longer myself, I had become a yin soldier.

In comparison.

This situation is nothing more than this!

Zheng Yun did not dare to slack off.

The telescope in his hand has multiple adjustments, and he can easily take in the scene several kilometers away. He can see it very clearly, but the more he looks at it, the weirder his expression becomes and the more surprised he becomes.

The turtle-like creature was floating in the lake and lying on the shore, with its neck raised to the sky and its ferocious mouth opening and closing from time to time. It was obviously a living creature and definitely not a dry turtle shell for decoration.

Although the tower has two floors, it is only a little over ten feet tall. Although it takes into account both form and meaning, it cannot be considered tall.

The turtle is alive.

The tower is man-made.

If you want to fix the tower on the turtle's back, then the tower might be poured out of molten iron, otherwise it will be difficult to stabilize.

There are many lessons learned, and it is easy to come to the conclusion that this tortoise-like creature that looks like a big turtle may have been controlled by the ancient Tiangong people. It is the... mount of the ancient Tiangong people?

What a great means!

If you use this big turtle as a mount and match it with an iron tower, you can go and see it anywhere in Xianhai Lake.

Think of it this way.

There is something outside the Heavenly Palace.

There may be ancient ruins somewhere in Xianhai Lake.

That's what he said, but he had never heard Ji Dao say anything about it. Before, when Ji Dao counted the monsters controlled by the Heavenly Palace, he didn't mention the big turtle at all, as if it didn't exist.

With Ji Dao's temperament, he could not resist showing off such a majestic turtle, as this creature was probably extremely evil.

As for the ancient monuments outside the Tiangong area or in the lake, Ji Dao was even more secretive and didn't mention a word. With his fearless style, things outside the area should be extremely terrifying.

Break into the Pregnant Demon Tower.

Drill into the fairy cave.

No one saw Ji Dao being afraid.

How could this place make him dare not say a word?

From the perspective of his subordinates, Zheng Yun knew Ji Dao very well, so there should be no mistakes in this reasoning.

Thinking about it carefully, although Zheng Yun thought more carefully than others, and the angle was several levels higher, the conclusion was quite the same, and even more terrifying than just looking at its appearance.

Zheng Yun also fell silent.

Everyone else looked at Zheng Yun carefully, hoping to see Master Xian raise his hand to break the situation, but Zheng Yun's expression gradually changed and he became silent, leaving them not sure how to react.

It’s definitely not something that Immortal Master can’t handle.

But this thing is too evil.

After all, it is outside the Tiangong territory surrounded by monsters and beasts. The life and death of Master Ji, who is in charge of the Tiangong, is uncertain. Master Xian should be cautious!

"Master Immortal, what should we do next?"

Zhang Ergou spoke in a low voice, not daring to disturb the big Ao.

Zheng Yun frowned and looked around. Although this big turtle was strange, it was not completely invincible. If he wanted to fight with it, he and his group would have some means to defeat it.

Unless the hexagonal tower on its back is a demon-sealing tower, and there are some unimaginable weird things inside...

But that's not the point.

They came to find Ji Dao. Where did Ji Dao go? If he went to the center of the lake on his right, would he and others still have to rely on the big ao and ride it to the lake for rescue?

How to multiply this?

Since they had to use an Ao, they couldn't kill it. They couldn't use any means, and they didn't dare to cross it for fear of being swallowed by it, let alone find a way to ride on it.

"Go forward and try to get in touch with Ji Dao first. As long as the walkie-talkie is connected, there will be some solutions."

Zheng Yun made a decision quickly.

Ji Dao is obviously still alive. As long as he can speak a few words, it will be enough to provide clues to himself and others.

Everyone set off immediately.

They walked more slowly.

Soon after, it was completely dark.

There are groups of ghosts and fluorescent lights undulating in the mountains and forests, and the green ink on the Xianhai Lake is hazy and hazy, making it difficult to see the road clearly.

The two little Taoist priests who were holding the demon dogs took out a few folded paper lanterns from their sleeves, and then took out a few crystal-clear stones from their pockets, which shimmered when they were pinched gently.

The light of this lantern is extremely dim, a bit dimmer than the lanterns used to guide the way to the Heavenly Palace. It can barely illuminate the stone path when it is hung down to the ground, but it is safer because the light cannot be seen a few meters away.

After obtaining Zheng Yun's consent.

The two of them passed the lantern down.

There was more light in the team.

Ghost generals can see at night, so there is no need for these things. Although night vision devices are available, not everyone is equipped with them. The remaining few living people must hold lanterns and look at their feet in order to navigate the increasingly dark tree corridor and stone road. walking between.

Zheng Yun looked back from time to time.

It was completely dark, and the vegetation on the left and right could not be seen. If something suddenly appeared and snatched the person away, they would not be able to find it, and it would be difficult to take precautions.

Now it's up to the ghost general.

Zheng Yun asked the five ghost generals to be scattered around the team. If there is something, they should be the first to react.

While walking.

The intercom didn't stop either.

Zheng Yun kept the walkie-talkie on, trying to get in touch with Ji Dao, but as he walked further and further along the stone road, he saw that he was getting closer and closer to the strange big turtle, but he still couldn't communicate.

He turned the volume of the intercom to the minimum and listened carefully. Under the rustling noise, he could vaguely hear intermittent human voices, but he couldn't make it out clearly.

Look around again.

This stone road has no forks. If you want to turn, you have to leave the road and go into the primitive forest on the left to find your way...

Chirp chirp.

Suddenly a string of small voices rushed over his head.

Everyone was shocked. The demon dog in front reacted first and rushed into the forest. The little Taoist priest almost fell down while Zhang Ergou quickly took out a handful of bits and pieces.

Kedester and Zheng Yun had similar reactions. They quickly raised the rifles, night vision and thermal imaging cameras hanging on their chests, and at the same time saw a strange thing crawling over the tree trunk.

It's night.

The cries of birds and animals in the evening gradually stopped, and everything outside the Heavenly Palace became extremely quiet.

The monster beasts in the mountains and forests changed silently, and most of them were carnivorous animals that were more aggressive. The fragrant sand that Ji Dao left along this road earlier may no longer be effective.

Because it is calculated based on distance.

It should be daytime when Ji Dao walked this section of the road. One day was definitely enough for him to complete the walk, and it was impossible to delay it until night. Therefore, these fragrant sands may not be aimed at nocturnal monsters.

Fortunately, the ghost general did not react.

They didn't think there was any danger just now.

A group of eleven people continued to move forward. Under the dim light of the lantern, the stone path was reflected in a simple orange color. There were some traces of foreign objects on the road, and it was also covered with a layer of orange.

Can't tell the difference.

Night vision and thermal imaging couldn't distinguish the colors of those things, even if the feet were covered in blood.

here we go.

The five senses are gradually restricted.

In addition to vision, hearing is also gradually reduced by the rustling sound of the night wind blowing in the mountains and forests, and the suppressed breathing in the gas mask, gradually reducing the perception of the environment.

Fear of the unknown spreads in my heart.

Every tiny anomaly is magnified.

Deep in the mountain forest, there are more and more sounds of creatures preying on each other, and the screams and struggles are shocking.

Zheng Yun and Kedester held the guns with their fingers on the triggers. The muzzles of the guns kept moving with the movements. It was not a long walk, but their legs and feet were numb and covered in cold sweat.

Roar!

Suddenly a loud noise came from a distance.

The sound seemed like the roar of a giant beast from the wild, the cry was shrill and tragic, and it was accompanied by the fierce sound of water coming from the Xianhai Lake.

Zheng Yun picked up the night vision device and found a gap to look at the lake. He saw in the image of the night vision device, on a strange and green Xianhai Lake, the 'dragon' he had seen before was struggling desperately, stirring up waves on the Xianhai Lake. Hundred-meter-high water splash.

Observe carefully.

The 'dragon' was actually fighting another giant beast in the water. The giant beast was hidden in the water and could not be seen clearly, but it was more than ten feet in size. The two sides fought in an earth-shattering manner!

"Master Immortal, this..."

Zhang Ergou's liver and gallbladder trembled violently.

How could it be that on the Xianhai Lake, which had always remained peaceful, two giant monsters suddenly started fighting?

He just finished speaking.

A burst of wind sounded.

歘!

The ghost general next to Zheng Yun slashed out with his sword.

歘! Another ghost general also immediately drew his sword.

Stab! The sound of flesh being cut off sounded from Zheng Yun's side, followed by a series of tiny 'raindrop sounds' falling on each of them.

It's like rain from the sky.

And they were wearing ‘raincoats’.

But a closer look revealed that it was not raindrops at all, but a series of blood with the smell of blood.

Snap.

A snake head landed at Zheng Yun's feet.

This snake head is the size of a basin! The bloody mouth has been opened, and the snake letter that is as long as an arm is still vomiting out.

Look sideways.

An extremely terrifying huge python was wrapped around the tree next to them, blending in with the creeping plants they saw along the way. There was no clue at all!

"Didn't see it."

Kedester whispered.

He was wearing a thermal imaging device, but he didn't see it from beginning to end. There was actually a thick-waisted python coveting the tree.

"..."

Zheng Yun looked ahead with night vision goggles.

The stone road under your feet has no end at all, and the big turtle in front of you is not listening to what is going on outside the window. Even if the Xianhai Lake behind him is already in full swing, he does not move.

this road.

Is it possible to get through?

After hesitating for a moment, Zheng Yun bit the tip of his tongue and continued to move forward. Ji Dao did not return for several days, and after hearing his voice on the intercom, he never came from the front to join them.

This means that Ji Dao must be in trouble.

Zheng Yun understands Jidao and has full confidence in their relationship. Even if Jidao is not a Yin soldier, as long as he still has breath and can get him out from somewhere, he will definitely come to find him! Won't put yourself in danger!

With his character, he would die by himself.

He also had to keep the ‘supervisor of the Immortal Supervisor’ in his eyes.

But until now, he didn't suddenly run back from the end of the stone road, so he definitely couldn't get out!

That being the case.

You must continue to move forward.

You have to see people alive and dead, and you have to see corpses. If you don't have the courage to be scared away by the monsters in the lake, the giant python at your feet, and the giant turtle on the tower, then you can just go back to your home!

"Be cautious and move on."

Zheng Yun put down the rifle in his hand and pulled out the blood-patterned Emperor Sword from his side. The sword was more useful than the gun here.

Everyone moved forward immediately. Before the words on their lips were uttered, their legs and feet began to move forward involuntarily. The expressions on their faces all changed, and there was no longer any fear.

Zheng Yun didn't even notice it himself.

When he spoke when his emotions were ups and downs, he couldn't help but use Wang Xi in his mouth to convey his emotions to others.

This order can silently make Li Xiya in the Underworld Pavilion smile. Even Huzi, who was dyed by the blood monkey and fascinated by the hallucinogenic gas, could not say a word "no". The Taoist priests of Tiangong were willing to die willingly.

They are a team of eleven.

But in the final analysis, there is only Zheng Yun in the team and his ten evil soldiers and ghost generals.

This stone road is so eerie.

None of them are as weird as Zheng Yun himself.

After saying these words, everyone immediately accelerated forward. The disturbing movements along the way were all ignored by them. Anyone who dared to get close would be struck by the ghost general with his sword.

Everyone is in a calm mood.

The little Taoist priest just carried a lantern and hurried on his way. Even if the ghost general drew a knife in front of his nose, he remained indifferent and indifferent.

Even Zhang Ergou and Kedester each drew their weapons and dared to stab anything they saw.

Exploration efficiency has increased rapidly.

The emotion of fear is simply removed.

This is not a halo in the game, but Wang Xi, who leads the Yin soldiers, and has issued an ironclad order to be brave and fearless of death. Without this ability, how can the Yin soldiers not be afraid of life and death?

The Yin soldiers in the Hades Pavilion.

No one is afraid of death.

As long as Zheng Yun does not retreat, it is impossible for them to retreat. No matter what is in front of them today, they must find Jidao.

Courage is the only 'equipment' for explorers, but within a moment, everyone had reached the vicinity of the giant turtle.

As long as they take a turn along the curved stone road and walk down for a while, they can have a close look at the giant tota turtle, and it is not a problem to pass a few tricks on the shore.

Such a close distance.

The Ao was even more gigantic and terrifying, probably more than three feet long, even five feet in length, and the details of the hexagonal tower on its back could also be clearly seen with its carved windows and copper doors.

Maybe he sensed something.

The Ao turned his head and glanced this way, his dim eyes as big as a man's head scanning the forest.

Zheng Yun never glanced at it, but took out the walkie-talkie and listened again. Even though the monsters in the Xianhai Lake were fighting, and the sound was fierce and annoying, he could still hear the human voice.

It's Ji Dao.

His voice was weak.

Keep repeating a sentence:

"Master Immortal... hurry up the mountain."

"Going up the mountain is the only way to survive."

"Master Immortal, hurry up the mountain, the mountain is... the way to survive!"

Thanks to brother Taixuan Wuji for correcting me. It’s an Ao and not a turtle. It has been revised...
