Chapter 121 Exploring the Mysteries of Northern Tibet (64)

“Awoo—Awoo—”

Wei Xun ignored the worried cries of the White Wolf King outside, and jumped in with his soft little paws on the cracks on the edge of the stone.

This passage was not actually for people to enter, but a sacrificial path left when the altar was built. The altar was built with seven floors to connect to the sky, and the sacrificial path was left inside, which meant connecting to the earth. Only when the sky and the earth are connected, it is a real altar.

The sacrificial path is very narrow, and even the snow leopard cubs have a hard time getting through it. At the same time, it is almost straight down, and there is a constant flow of heavy rain water pouring in. Getting inside gives people a feeling of claustrophobia and being drowned.

The magic fire illuminated the sacrificial path. The rain was also full of magic energy. It formed a small waterless space between the collision with the magic fire, which only allowed the little snow leopard to take a breath and then continue to hold his breath and go down.

Wei Xun was wet all over, and roughly calculated the distance he had to go down.

The water of Selincuo Lake outside is overflowing, submerging the wasteland around the lake, and will soon flood the altar. This is the lake water that seals the big devil. If Wei Xun wades from the outside to the lakeside and then finds the lama of Cuocha, it will be too dangerous to find the devil seal. And this seal is likely to be below the lake surface.

After all, Wei Xun just took someone's sacrifice, so it's better to be a little low-key.

It's much safer to walk along the sacrificial road. The descendants of the Eagle Flute had already made some tricks when building this altar, and built an inner altar underground, like an inverted pyramid. The altar that originally connected the sky above and the earth below has added the meaning of "connecting the devil below".

Wei Xun secretly asked Xiao Cui to summon the insect swarm. The insect swarm that can eat soil and rocks in this underground and is good at digging evil ghosts is the most useful explorer.

The further down he went, the less water seeped in. He didn't know where the rainwater that had flowed down before had gone. The inside of the sacrificial path was getting colder and colder. The temperature dropped abnormally, and a layer of frost condensed on the tips of Wei Xun's fur.

This frost was extremely thin, but very heavy, like a layer of heavy armor. No, it wasn't that the frost was heavy, but the demonic energy contained in it was resisting Wei Xun. The demonic fire burned away the small layer of ice around the leopard cub's body. As if bewitched by the aura of the great demon on the demonic fire, the frost no longer attached to Wei Xun's fur, but the temperature around him continued to drop.

"A-choo!"

The little snow leopard sneezed, and Wei Xun became more alert. The demon seal was centered on Selincuo, and the surrounding land and mountains were all part of the seal. The place where the altar was built was above the seal, and it might even be a gap in the seal.

He should have reached the ground now. If he continued down, he would reach the inner altar. The place where Yin Baitao and the witches were taken was just the junction of the inner and outer altars. Although it was also inside the altar, it was not deep, and it was not even closer to the devil than the sacrificial path that Wei Xun was walking on at the moment.

Threads of demonic energy wrapped around Wei Xun's body, like a little snake, probing into the demonic fire and drilling into Wei Xun's hair. The sacrificial path here was no longer narrow, but gradually widened. Wei Xun shook his hair gently and shook out all the demonic energy. He endured not to eat the demonic energy, and his own breath became weaker and more hidden, bringing the characteristics of "natural hidden person" to the extreme.

Wei Xun knew very well that he came down to take advantage of it.

The great demon Chabalaren has many Xiangxiong relics. The crown is in the demon's human skin, and the bone flute and the golden bell are in the great demon's body. The former is at least just a demon phantom, and it has been sealed in the nine-layer swastika crystal tower and weakened for thousands of years. The bone flute was given to the descendant of the eagle flute by the great demon, and it is easy to take it away.

Only this last golden bell, which is still embedded in the body of the great demon, is definitely the most difficult to obtain. And it is this bell that makes the great demon's right arm not afraid of the seal. If this problem is not solved, even if the Lama of Cuocha uses his life to reinforce the seal, it will definitely break the seal in the future.

If this news is told to Lama of Cuocha, let alone how difficult it is to meet them, just according to the Lama's temperament, he will definitely destroy the golden bell and cut off the way for the great demon to break the seal again. It will be difficult for Wei Xun to take the golden bell by himself.

It is better to act separately.

The little snow leopard rolled twice and completely got rid of the evil spirit. Because the upper and lower spaces here are still too narrow, it may have to crawl forward when it becomes a human. Wei Xun still maintains the state of a snow leopard. The snow leopard he transformed into is too young, and the fluff between his fingers that increases friction has not grown yet, so it slips a little on the ice.

That's right, the ground under his feet has formed an unusually smooth thin ice, and there are ice layers in front, behind, left and right. The cold temperature has an explanation, as if this is not a sacrificial road, but an ice cave. Under the reflection of the magic fire, the ice surface glowed with a faint blue light. It seemed that a dark shadow inside the ice layer sensed the magic energy and gradually approached Wei Xun. The shadow that was revealed became larger and larger, like a drop of ink falling on the ice.

Wei Xun extinguished the magic fire, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.

‘Did you find anything? ’

Wei Xun asked Fox Cub and Xiao Cui.

‘The yin energy is heavier over there’

Fox Cub was referring to the north. According to the geographical location, if they went further north, they would reach the Selin Co Lake.

‘The magic energy is heavier here’

Xiao Cui was referring to the ground under their feet. They had just reached the top of the inner altar, and they had to go down to reach the core area of ​​the inner altar.

Yin energy could be some corpses, such as various mummies and demonized corpses driven by demons. The demon energy should refer to the demon itself.

But time was precious, and Wei Xun did not make a hasty decision. He simply took out the crown with golden wings and roc horns. As soon as the crown was taken out, everything around him lit up, like turning on a spotlight. Especially a touch of gold, like the brilliance of the noon sun shining on the Garuda at the front of the crown. The bird's eyes are two rubies, shining like flames, as if they will fly down from the crown at any time.

Even the cold ice was glowing with warm and lustrous light, and all the dark shadows hidden in the ice disappeared, and no one knew where they were hiding.

After he was convinced that * * * would not compete with him for his bloodline, Wei Xun moved the bloodline of the golden-winged roc back to the crown. After all, he had an opponent in the east-west district confrontation mission, the Devil Merchant, and he might be exposed if he always took out the pendant.

It's better to get the crown. After all, after he becomes the king, the audience outside the crown should also know about it.

"Haw?"

The snow leopard cub was puzzled. The golden bird shadow on the crown actually pointed to the north, which is where the fox cub said the yin energy was heavier, not at the feet where the evil energy was strong.

Wei Xun actually gave it a try. After all, when he was looking for the pendant before, it was Wang Guan who had a reaction when he was in the Buddhist Scripture Cave. It can be seen that these Garuda-related items are connected to each other.

After adding the blood of the golden-winged roc, the 'guidance' becomes clearer.

‘The evil ghost insects separated into thousands and continued to explore downwards’

Wei Xun ordered that there were still about 6,000 worms in the evil ghost insect swarm, which were mainly injured after entering this area contaminated by demons. Sending a thousand insects to explore downwards also takes into account losses.

'good! ’

Xiao Cui responded simply and neatly. Anyway, this is just an ordinary bug, and it is difficult to leave the environment of the Tibetan Plateau. He selected one or two hundred male insect soldier insects with some potential. With magic honey and Wei Xun's blood, it was not difficult to expand the insect swarm. His insect swarm in the future would definitely be dominated by magic insects.

These bugs are now put to good use.

Xiaocui said: 'Master, be careful, I think it's very dangerous there'

‘Then bite me first’

Wei Xun put away the crown and summoned Xiao Cui's body when the surroundings returned to darkness.

'Attack with all your strength'

The emerald-green mother insect, like an enlarged version of a lacewing, appeared on the little snow leopard's neck. It bent its forelimbs and licked something. It brewed for a while, and then without hesitation, it took a bite at Wei Xun's fatal throat.

【love peace! 】

[You have been hit by a peace-loving person. In the next half hour, you will not be afraid of poison, radiation, hallucinations, or evil contamination! (Xiao Cui level down)】

But Wei Xun had done some research on King Xiangxiong's curse before and found that the curse was not simple.

King Xiangxiong’s original words before were, ‘Any attack you make will make the opponent healthier, and any curse you cast will make the opponent luckier…’ In other words, this is a compound BUFF!

As long as Xiaocui's attack brings more negative states, Wei Xun will receive more positive blessings.

However, apart from the radiation that comes from swallowing radioactive ores all the year round, the mother worm originally did not have much offensive power. At most, it would cause some hallucinations.

In order for him to play a greater role, Wei Xun thought of a way. He asked Xiaocui to drink the venom before biting him!

——Anyway, there are plenty of poisons obtained from Dingo. Xiaocui is not afraid of this level of poison, and it will be fine if she drinks it.

I just had the attitude of giving it a try before, but I didn’t expect it to work!

In this way, there were more things to try on Xiao Cui. Thinking of this, Wei Xun began to think about how to maintain the curse effect for a long time - at least Xiao Cui could not meet the devil merchant.

Although the current conditions are limited and he can only try out a poison resistance, it is also very important to Wei Xun. After all, he can only wear five titles, including Traveler, Wild Mind, Archaeological Expert, Adventurer, Demonic Insect Ruler, etc. After the important titles, Wei Xun rarely uses the two titles of Poison Resistance and Strong Resentment Resistance, mainly because he really has no time to wear them.

On the contrary, the pollution caused by demonic energy should be a new trick that Xiao Cui has learned. The previous sacrifices were made at the Holy Lake of the Snow Mountain, under the watchful eyes of various Bon gods, and all the sacrifices were sacrificed to the 'Great Demon Wei Xun'. It can be said that Wei Xun's identity as the Great Demon was recognized by many gods.

Although he is not yet strong enough and is a hypocritical demon, with this identity, Xiao Cui, Xiao Golden Blood Ladybug, and the others have also benefited a lot, and each has experienced changes and improvements. However, time is too tight at the moment, and Wei Xun has no time to detail it. look.

Taking Xiao Cui back to the Demonic Insect Ball, Wei Xun headed north in the direction pointed by the golden bird's shadow. The tunnel was sloping downwards, and originally it could be seen that the black stone was wrapped in ice, but gradually the ice became so thick that it was difficult to see what was underneath, and it was completely impermeable to light.

The upper and lower space is still very narrow, only allowing the little snow leopard to walk normally, but the left and right spaces are a little wider. This ice was condensed by demonic energy, and was a deep and pure dark blue. Wei Xun let the fox cub out to bite a few pieces of broken ice filled with demonic energy, and continued to move forward.

There may be corpses or ghosts in places with heavy Yin energy. Demons are not necessarily feminine, just like magic fire. Chabalaren can control the Demonic Fire. He should not be a purely feminine demon. As he previously separated the Rainstorm Demon General as his 'daughter', it can be seen that there may be attribute conflicts between Heavy Rain and Demonic Fire.

But now the Demonic Fire has been sealed in Xiaolin Temple for a long time, and Chabalaren has been sealed at the bottom of the lake for so many years. This time, the Rainstorm Demon General is mainly used. Maybe he is more negative now?

Wei Xun pondered the attributes of the great demon Chabalaren as he walked. Are demon attributes predetermined by heaven, or can they gradually change according to one's own talents and means? What kind of demon attribute is he?

Besides being particularly good at eating and being particularly hungry, Wei Xun has not seen any talent in himself so far. Maybe devouring is his talent? He had previously drawn the demon alienation he dreamed of in his nightmare, and searched online, but could not find a similar demon.

According to Xiao Jin, demons all have magic patterns. Maybe the demons do not speak the same language, and most inferior demons cannot even speak, but the magic patterns contain a lot of information about the tribe, just like an ID card.

For example, Xiao Jin looks like a demon bee, but in fact, the black and yellow patterns on its body imitate the patterns of that kind of demon bee, so it can deceive the guard Xiongfeng to steal honey.

The magic patterns on Wei Xun's body are unclear. When he was alienated, he was still young as a demon, and the magic patterns were not fully grown, and the characteristics of the demon tribe were not complete. Many demon races have a protection mechanism when they are young. The magic patterns are in a mess, and it is difficult to tell which race it is, so as to avoid being recognized and eaten by hostile species.

Will the great demon Chabararen have magic patterns?

Wei Xun has been thinking about a question. Is this great demon Chabararen, his demon army, and the demon kingdom the same thing as the abyss that Xiao Jin and Xiao Cui talked about?

According to what they said, the demon insects can't be completely regarded as demons. To be precise, they are 'abyss species'. In addition to demons, there are ghosts, modified species, giants, fairies, etc., which is a very complete world.

But Xiao Jin doesn't remember how it came to the journey and how its companions came.

"Slurp--"

The leopard cub's claws slipped on the ice. Its claws were too immature and had not grown well. When the passage tilted downward more and more, the ice surface was too slippery and it couldn't keep its balance.

Wei Xun responded by simply lying down and sliding down the slope like a penguin sliding on the ice. Now the whole passage is like a very thick cylindrical water pipe with an inclination angle of more than 45 degrees. The friction of the furry belly prevented him from spinning. Wei Xun controlled his speed of sliding down, and watched the front vigilantly, with his leopard ears leaning forward.

When he found an obstacle in front of the smooth road, he calmly grabbed the ice surface. With a harsh crackling sound, the little snow leopard slid forward a few meters and finally stopped in front of the obstacle.

What is this?

Wei Xun took out the magic fire, and in the dim light, there was a ridge like an ice ridge in front of him. It occupied most of the passage and was not very wide. At first glance, it looked like an ice layer, but if you look closely, the material is different from solid ice. It is bone white, and it glows cold white when the firelight shines on it.

Bone? Corpse? Jade? Ice plate?

Wei Xun tried to climb up and walked a few meters inside, and then he found that this bone-white jade-like thing was a whole piece. It became wider and taller as he went back, and the ice cave passage also expanded and widened with it. When Wei Xun walked about ten meters, the height and width of the ice cave were enough for people to stand up and walk.

"Crystal? Gradient color?"

Fifteen meters, Wei Xun walked to the end of this 'crystal'. From the bone white at the tip to now, the color gradually deepened and finally turned into scarlet. When it came to the scarlet, it was four or five meters wide and still cylindrical. Walking on it and looking down, it was a certain height, almost as high as a floor.

The scarlet giant cylinder was much wider than the 'crystal', with many folds, and the folds were filled with ice and snow.

Wei Xun took out the crown, and the golden roc light and shadow still flew forward. But Wei Xun did not continue to move forward. He put away the crown and returned to the connection between the scarlet and the 'crystal'. He changed back to human form, put on his clothes, took a knife, and tried to dig out a piece.

It was too hard to dig it out, even the fox cub couldn't bite it. Wei Xun tried all kinds of ways, and finally found that if he burned it with magic fire, a small layer of the surface of the 'crystal' that could be burned would crack and roll up, rolling out an A4-sized, parchment-like crystal plate.

That's enough.

The title of archaeologist didn't work, maybe this is not a relic. After all, it's just a green title, so it's normal that it has limited functions.

But Wei Xun is also an adventurer! You have to know that if you take risks on things, you will definitely know what it is from the feedback!

[Adventure! ]

[Adventure successful! You get the middle finger nail of the great demon Chabalaren, which is baked to perfection and crispy! ]

This rolled white 'crystal plate' immediately became brown and crispy, with a caramel color on the surface, which is the unique roasted aroma. But Wei Xun's focus is rarely here.

This is the nail of the great demon Chabalaren!

Wei Xun's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he instantly turned into a snow leopard, running towards the tip of the nail like a silver whirlwind. But after running a few steps, Wei Xun stopped and looked back, his silver-white beard shaking very fast.

Many people have a fear of giants. When they know that the 'large crystal' they are standing on, exploring and studying, and even roasting with magic fire, is just a demon's nail, many people will be scared and sweat, and their hearts will be shocked by the great fear.

But Wei Xun was not afraid. He turned into a snow leopard almost instantly because the fastest way to undress from a snow leopard to a human was the one he could control at the moment, which could attract the whispers and even stares of the devil at any time. The snow leopard took two steps as if escaping to test whether this was a trap set by the devil to seduce people.

If the devil still didn't move at all...

Wei Xun was calm and walked back to the junction of bone white and scarlet, where there were the clothes he had dropped when he turned into a snow leopard, and the "crispy devil nail" that looked like a large slice of bread.

The snow leopard cub squatted in front of the nail, as if making a difficult decision. Finally, it resolutely lowered its head-and took a bite.

!

Hot!

It's literally baked to crispy perfection, like the crust on the best puff pastry cream of mushroom soup, nice and crispy. But Wei Xun only nibbled a little bit, and after confirming it, he put it into the fox cub's belly.

He nibbled on this not because he was hungry, but for comparison, to try.

Just one piece doesn't explain the problem.

Wei Xun repeated his old trick, using magic fire to 'roast' a small amount of scarlet flesh, and then took the risk.

【Adventure successful! You get grilled and extremely poor quality Chabalan Devil Middle Finger Meat! 】

Wei Xun ate a little without changing his expression, then tore the piece of meat in half and fed half to the blood ladybug and half to Xiaocui.

Xiaocui was very happy and thanked her master softly. Her face was covered with burnt charcoal but she was eating with relish. But the blood ladybug was in pain. After taking two bites, she started pretending to be dead and refused to eat.

Looking at their performance, Wei Xun had an idea.

These fifteen-meter-long 'crystal plates' ranging from narrow to wide are just the nails of the big devil, the giant scarlet cylinders are its fingers, and maybe even further down, it is his complete, sealed body.

But there is no soul in this body.

This demon tastes different from what Wei Xun has eaten before. It is an absorption problem. When he ate Devil's Shadow and all kinds of demonic energy before, he absorbed it immediately after eating it. Even if there was too much demonic energy, he would be restless and feel overly full, but he would absorb it very quickly.

But when eating these, although there is demonic energy in them, this demonic energy gradually overflows with the 'digestion' and is absorbed by Wei Xun.

This is a true demonic body.

It was completely different from the demon remnants, demonic energy, demonic shadows, demonic energy condensed alienated bodies, etc. that Wei Xun had seen before.

It is a solid body... It can be said that it is the first time Wei Xun has seen a complete demon body.

The reason why it is said to be a body, not a corpse, is that firstly, the bloody ladybug does not like to eat, and secondly, although the demonic energy in its body is silent, it is not weakening and dying, but more like being sealed.

So that’s it!

Wei Xun felt like he had opened the door to a new world.

He has encountered so few complete demons (not counting Dingo) that Wei Xun has always thought that even if there is demonic energy, he is a complete demon. Even the 'Demon Army' he encountered in the assessment mission is just a demon. Wisps of residual demonic energy were condensed, but they were not real entities. Wei Xun's eating of them was just biting the demonic energy on their bodies.

The same is true for the burning ghosts in Xiaolin Temple and the mutated demonic energy attached to the lama's soul.

So much so that he realized for the first time the difference between a demon's body and a demon's soul!

I don’t know where the soul of this big demon went, leaving behind such a big body - maybe its soul was fighting with Lama Tsocha and the others in Serincuo?

Wei Xun excitedly walked forward and walked more than sixty meters before reaching the end of the finger. It suddenly became clear to him that the joints on the back of the demon's hand were bulging like hills. Its five fingers stretched out in different directions and inserted into the ice and snow, like five caves. Wei Xun walked out of one of the 'caves'.

"Huh?"

Wei Xun tried to pose the devil, and found that if he looked at it from the perspective of the big devil, it should straighten its arms diagonally upwards, with the fingers of its palms spread out, trying to reach upwards and forward. Wei Xun saw a large piece of ice and snow falling down. The ice and snow in the folds of its scarlet skin were loose and newly accumulated, rather than frozen inside forever.

There are also new traces of friction on the surrounding ice walls.

It is reaching out, toward the altar, and toward the world.

The descendant of the Eagle Flute is right, one of the demon's arms has been 'unsealed'. If the sacrifice continues completely, I'm afraid the entire demon's body will be completely unsealed!

But perhaps because the sacrifices suddenly stopped and there were no sacrifices, or because Lama Cuocao and High Priest Yangjin strengthened the seal, the body no longer struggled outwards. The soul also leaves the body and fights with the lama and others.

In other words, what was placed in front of Wei Xun was a pure and powerful body of a great demon.

good chance!

But Wei Xun's face showed expressions of heartache, regret, and reluctance.

He didn't give up and said in a very sweet and soft voice: "Zai Zai, can you--"

'cannot! ’

The fox cub was so frightened that he burst into tears: ‘I can’t eat, I really can’t eat! ’

‘You are allowed to use up all your yang energy to expand your abdominal capacity’

Wei Xun spent a lot of money: "You can eat the magic honey if you want, and there are ghost hair fragments, and by the way, the bee eggs should taste good too."

‘I can’t eat it, I really can’t eat it’

The fox cub sobbed and said sadly: 'I'm just a little fox! ’

The fingernails are fifteen meters long and the middle finger is sixty meters long. How big must this whole demon be?

The fox cub can’t even think about it!

Wei Xun did some ideological work for the fox cub for a long time and devoted himself to exploring its limits. Finally, the fox cub became strong and said that it could only eat one finger at most.

Really can’t be any more!

‘Then eat your middle finger’

Wei Xun murmured, his middle finger was longer.

Eat as much as you can, there is no time to choose now, the devil may come back at any time. Although he knew that its eyes, heart, or other places were more precious, judging from its length, it was difficult for Wei Xun to explore there. After all, his target was the golden bell on the devil's arm.

Dig up the golden bell and the devil will definitely find it.

It is the right way to bite off more than you can chew and stop when you see the opportunity.

Without any further delay, Wei Xun left the fox cub and the magic fire at the base of the demon's finger, allowing it to freely use the items in its belly. Then Wei Xun continued to move forward - the one who could break through the seal was the demon's right arm inlaid with a golden bell.

In other words, the last main item of the journey, the Golden Bell is right ahead!

The demon's arms were as wide as a runway, but it was too long. Wei Xun was still reaching its elbows as he ran. Maybe the big demon didn't have elbows? Every once in a while, he took out the crown and confirmed the location of the golden bell. Finally, fifteen minutes later, the golden bird-shaped light and shadow no longer flew forward, but hovered in place.

This is it!

Wei Xun's sharp eyes saw a trench-like crack on the side of the arm, and there seemed to be a bit of golden light shining inside. The little snow leopard ran over there and found that it was not as hard as other scarlet skins, but bloody, and the skin and flesh were trembling and beating, as if the wounds had not yet healed. And the temperature gets higher as you go inside, and there are black burn marks.

The heart of Garuda can burn evil dragons into ashes.

The golden bell is embedded here!

The little snow leopard jumped into the flesh wound with the golden-winged roc's crown in its mouth. The wound was burned and corroded to the point of being close to the bone. It looked extremely deep. To the little snow leopard, it was like a cliff. Wei Xun ignored that he was covered in blood, he jumped accurately and landed directly near Jin Ling.

This golden bell was several times larger than the one hanging around the demon sheep's neck. It was like an apricot, with half of it exposed and the other half covered and devoured by the demon's flesh and blood. Wei Xun found that the snow leopard's claws were easier to deal with demon flesh and blood, so he immediately dug open the flesh and took out the golden bell.

But at this moment, the 'earth' shook violently and suddenly rose upwards. Wei Xun rolled directly into a pool of blood, with the tips of his claws tightly hooked on the golden bell. He tried his best to control the aura all over his body and became completely invisible.

The devil's arms are moving!
