Chapter 213: Lion Field Part 2
Lin Xinping was lying on his body, flying forward at high speed in a dark tunnel, and an inexplicable traction force kept him moving forward.
The tunnel is like the intestinal tract of some dark creature, with layers of folds on the inner wall, constantly vibrating and squeezing with a rhythmic frequency.
After flying zigzagging for a while, turning many times, a faint red light finally appeared in front of it.
Lin Xin opened his eyes wide, trying to see what was at the exit. But what entered the field of vision was only a light red haze. He also smelled a faint scent of sulfur in his nose.
He quickly raised his spiritual energy, and slowly a layer of invisible spiritual field permeated his precious clothes, turning it into a defense. Be ready for anything.
***************
The sky was pitch black.
There are scarlet magma rivers all over the land, and black smoke and poisonous gas are constantly emitting from the rivers. Some places spew out waves of red magma water from time to time, like waves hitting the shore.
The ground is as black as ink, except for the red magma river, there are clusters of gray vines without leaves. Each of these vines is as tall as a person, covered with spikes, and their teeth and claws are like the minions of monsters and beasts.
A giant volcano in the distance is erupting slowly, and the red flames at the top shoot up into the sky from time to time, and a large amount of golden-red magma overflows along the mountain to the surroundings, forming golden lines.
Here is a dark and scorching plain, with a large number of gray spiky vines on the undulating hills, and occasionally there are scorching hot boiling magma lakes in some places.
On the edge of one of the oval red magma lakes, between several large gray stones, there is a yellow flower more than three meters high.
The yellow flower grows alone on the ground, there are no other plants around it, and there is no visible water source. Its green rhizome is only as thick as an arm, and the stamens and petals on the top are open. But it is as big as a bathtub, and the whole rhizome is bent down under the pressure.
Cough...cough cough...!
Suddenly, the sunflower-like yellow flower began to cough and move violently like a human being. It coughed a few times, then tilted its head back suddenly, and then sneezed fiercely forward.
Ah Choo!
puff!
A lump of black matter was sprayed out from the stamen by it.
The black thing is a person wearing black clothes, and the whole body is covered with yellow pollen. Sitting on the ground for a while. Only slowly got up.
Illuminated by the red light of the magma, this man looked about forty years old, with gray temples, stood up and straightened his clothes, revealing a calm and calm look.
His body was shaken, and all the pollen was scattered immediately, and he was clean again.
"Is this the Lion Field?" Lin Xin looked around. He found himself standing on the edge of an oval-shaped magma lake, scorching poisonous gas continuously invaded, and was blocked by Baoyi's spiritual field. It's just that he still inevitably inhaled a lot of sulfur breath in his nose.
Frowning and scanning the surroundings, there are short empty flowers around, and the stamens are already empty. A dark tunnel opening was revealed.
He was standing on a black hilly area. In the distance, a huge volcano was constantly erupting. From time to time, rumbling sounds were transmitted along with the ground shaking.
"That weird woman said that as long as I find Shiziyuan, I can find a way to escape from the Nether Mansion. Now that I'm here, where should I find the way?" He frowned and raised his spiritual energy. His eyesight suddenly increased, and he looked into the distance in the darkness.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a raised thing on the hills in the distance.
Lin Xin carefully noted down the location of the short empty flower here, and took out a few pieces of spiritual jade. And a pre-prepared array plate.
Bury the array on the ground and sprinkle some medicinal powder to hide the smell.
"Environment."
Say the syllable of Fajue softly.
Immediately, around Lin Xin, including short empty flowers, a circle of silver formations appeared on the ground. Strips of dim silver light broke through the ground, like silver cables. With a bang, all the silver cables exploded and turned into silver spots, which evenly fell on Lin Xin and Duan Konghua in the circle.
Gradually, both he and Duan Konghua began to blur their figures, and their outlines became lighter and weaker. In the end, it disappeared completely, as if there was nothing here, only a piece of dark land.
laugh!
With a soft sound, Lin Xin suddenly walked out of nothingness as if out of thin air. He looked back at the formation, but there was no trace of Duan Konghua at all.
"Jin Yuzong's invisible formation really lives up to its reputation." He sighed.
He strolled toward the ledge at the top of the distant hill.
Without using lightness skills, the territory here is unfamiliar, and it is not clear if there is any hidden danger.
Slowly advancing, it took more than ten minutes, and Lin Xin finally arrived in front of the hill.
The hill is not high, only four or five meters in shape, and there seems to be a gray-white stone tablet inserted on it. The stone tablet is tilted crookedly, and most of it is not buried in the soil.
Looking around, Lin Xin cautiously walked up the hill and came to the stone tablet.
‘The Land of Lions, the Land of Ultimate Bliss. '
There seemed to be characters buried under the stele, so he dug with his sword to reveal half of the characters underneath.
'Eternal life and immortality, eternal bliss. '
A line of indistinct inscriptions on ghosts and creatures is indistinctly engraved on the lower half of the stele.
"Immortal...?" Lin Xin frowned.
ah... ah...
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of * * from the front.
He raised his eyes and saw a person sitting vaguely in front of a big rock.
"who!"
he whispered.
No one responded.
With the distance and the darkness, without stars and moonlight, he had no way of seeing who was in front of the stone.
Carefully placing his hand on the red flower sword, Lin Xin approached slowly, keeping vigilance at all times.
Soon, he got closer to see clearly.
In front of the stone was a human figure who was skinny like a mummy. He had no clothes, and the muscles and skin on his body were all withered, leaving a layer of black skin attached to the bones. There was no hair, just a bald skeleton head.
The man's eyes were lifeless, and he kept making painful and desperate moaning noises, one after another, he hugged the big stone and bumped into it.
His forehead had just hit him, and then he lifted it up immediately, and the hole on his head that was knocked open had already healed, and when he hit it again, a new wound was opened, and when he was lifted up again, the wound healed. It goes on and on like this, like self-mutilation.
Lin Xin could only vaguely see the dry black-gray muscle and bones exposed inside before the wound healed completely.
"Hello."
He yelled at the other party.
The man didn't react in the slightest, and continued to bump the stone up and down. It seemed that he didn't hear Lin Xin calling him at all.
Lin Xin walked not far behind the other person, his aura was released, and he immediately ingested a piece of lava rock and threw it at the person.
With a bang, a fist-sized stone hit the opponent's back, and there was no reaction at all. The person was still doing his own thing, constantly hurting himself, and ignored it.
Lin Xin tried to call the other party several times, but there was no response.
There was no other way, so I had no choice but to stop looking at him and continue walking forward. Because he could vaguely hear more voices coming from a distance ahead.
Walking forward not far, a small dilapidated town appeared in front of his eyes, and there seemed to be flames emanating from the town. There is more than enough to see people inside.
After crossing a small bridge on a dry river bed, a group of crows flew up in shock and fled in all directions.
Lin Xin raised his head and glanced at the crow, as if he did not expect that there could be birds in the volcanic area.
After crossing the bridge, following the vague remaining stone steps, and going down a small slope full of black honeycomb stones, the whole town appeared before Lin Xin's eyes.
The magma is distributed everywhere in the middle of the town like a flame, reflecting a large area of red light.
The houses in the town are all made of gray-black stones. They are neat and square, and they look complete from a distance. Only when you get closer can you see that there are many dense scratches on the walls, as if they were dug out by people with their fingernails. generally.
Lin Xin raised his posture, jumped lightly, and in the blink of an eye, he covered a distance of tens of meters and landed directly in the brightest place inside the town.
In the center of the town, a huge bonfire several meters high was burning, surrounded by five mummy-like people who were constantly kneeling and bowing their heads.
They formed a circle, continuously raised their arms as thin as dry sticks, and kowtowed towards the huge yellow flame.
Lin Xin walked around them, but these people didn't pay attention to them at all, but they kowtowed again and again, and their skull-like faces could barely see their extremely devout expressions.
Lin Xin looked at the bonfire, and there were thick logs inside. The strange thing was that these logs seemed to be added just now, and they would not turn black with being burned at all.
He walked behind a person and watched him kowtow towards the huge bonfire non-stop, chanting words, which seemed to be some kind of ancient language, which he couldn't understand, but it was more like some meaningless screams.
Frowning, he vaguely felt a little depressed here.
Across the bonfires lay a dark street that seemed to be smoky.
On both sides of the street, there are mummies constantly doing strange behaviors. Some of them pushed hard against walls that could not be moved. Some squatted in the corner and seemed to be giggling. Some raised their heads and looked at the sky, as if they were looking at something, but he obviously didn't even have eyes, only two blood holes...
Lin Xin walked slowly in the middle of the street, looking at these mummies here from time to time, they kept repeating their actions again and again, and did not respond to any changes in the outside world. Some of them are still wearing clothes, while others have already rotted a lot of skin, hanging on their bodies like torn rags, blowing in the wind.
Passing through the town, Lin Xin walked directly towards the volcano, which was the only bright spot here. It seemed that the volcano had been erupting for too long and seemed unusually stable.
Walking from the town to the volcano, along the barren stone steps starting from the foot of the mountain, Lin Xin can see many mummies who are constantly repeating movements in a daze along the way. (to be continued ~^~)
