A vague shadow of an ancient road appeared under Bai Ze's feet, with extinguished torches dotted on both sides of the road.
The Tengu shadow was gradually swallowed up by the darkness emanating from the shadow. The four people in the stone house discovered that they were no longer in the city.
"The ancient road of the human race."
Kuitian looked around and saw that it was dark ahead, with gray mist on both sides of the road, and footprints on the ground, as if countless people had walked on this road.
Several twisted shadows behind him did not dare to get close to Bai Ze, who looked like a human-shaped torch, and roared from time to time.
"Bai Ze, isn't it a little early to go to the initial section of the ancient human race road? I heard that it only opens at midnight."
Niu Ba was trembling a little. It was the first time he set foot on the legendary ancient road of the human race. It was impossible not to be afraid.
I found that the fire covenant in my body radiated bursts of warmth, traveling throughout my body according to a certain route.
[Fire bearer, follow the guidance of the fire! 】
Bai Ze heard a soft voice in his mind and a vague figure appeared behind him. Kui Tianshi glanced at it and felt as if he had seen it somewhere.
The foundation of firewood appeared above the head, and the five kinds of firewood turned into a firefly and flew forward, and the weak firelight illuminated the dim road ahead.
Bai Ze walked in the front. This was his true journey on the ancient human race road. He had seen this road in the dark before due to the inheritance of the Fire Bearer and Xinhuo.
At that time, it was Tomb Sixteen and they also explained some settings of related roads.
The four of them were walking on the deserted road and did not notice that there were more and more shadows behind them. Affected by the dark night, the shadows were converging into a giant black beast.
Bai Ze saw a suspension bridge appearing in front of him, and his reason told him not to look under the bridge.
"Keep walking, keep your eyes on me!"
Bai Ze stopped and spoke slowly. For some reason, he felt as if he had been on this road before.
In front of the suspension bridge, on a broken stone tablet, you can vaguely see the word "Xia" written in oracle bones on it.
"What the Xia people left behind..."
Bai Ze asked about the voice in his head, and the fire on his body suddenly gathered on the stone tablet. Countless figures wearing stone armor and holding various weapons appeared on the suspension bridge.
They fought countless strange things on the bridge, and finally placed stone tablets at both ends of the bridge.
[Fire Bearer, continue along the path traveled by your predecessors. The traces left by the Xia people will guide you! 】
Bai Ze followed countless Xia clan figures. Suddenly, a figure looked back.
"He is looking at me, or looking at Xinhuo..."
The soft voice did not answer, and a vague route gradually appeared on the inheritance stone tablet.
The three members of the Kuitian clan did not dare to take their eyes away from Bai Ze, recalling the human heritage they had seen in the clan before, which recorded that the ancient human road was extremely dangerous.
The Xia people once paid a heavy price to clean up the pollution on the initial road section and build a trial place.
At that time, the initial road section was called a polluted road section, and no creature in the world dared to set foot on it.
Even the mountain gods retreated until the Xia people appeared and reopened the initial section of the road.
Bai Ze sensed the thoughts of the three people behind him through the resonance of all things and the whispers of the dead, and couldn't help but sigh. The weirdness of the world of mountains and seas was unfolding before him step by step.
"Bai...Bai Ze, something seems wrong. The torches on both sides of the road are going out."
Wanying made a trembling voice. Through the firelight reflected by the torch, she saw that there seemed to be a terrifying existence following behind her.
"run!"
Bai Ze looked back and found a twisted and strange giant beast at the edge of the fire, roaring silently at them.
The torches on both sides of the road were extinguished by the giant beasts. As they moved forward, the giant beasts continued to grow larger.
Kuitian transformed into a giant Kui Niu beast covered with black fur and ran quickly carrying the three people on his back.
Bai Ze used the fire to suppress the pollution in his body, and looked back at the giant beast from time to time.
"Faster!"
Niu Ba roared, not daring to look back at all, and the Kui Niu totem in his body fell into silence.
Wanying gritted her teeth and took out a bone flute, and the strange and distorted sound of the flute echoed on the road.
Bai Ze saw the phantom of a severely mutated Kui Niu slowly emerging in the air, roaring at the giant beast behind him.
Niu Ba felt that Kuitian was reaching his limit, so he turned into a smaller Kui Niu with long gray hair and opened the way ahead.
The sound of chains being dragged appeared behind him, along with the sound of heavy footsteps. Bai Ze's hair stood on end, and the fire in his body burned crazily.
[Don’t look back, keep running! 】
A soft voice sounded in his mind, and Bai Ze knew that if he continued to run away like this, he would be dead.
The Kuitian clan can't last long, so they can only rely on his military inheritance.
Bai Ze jumped forward, pressed one hand on the ground, and activated his weapon.
A stone house exuding a strange aura appeared in front of everyone.
"Come in!"
Bai Ze pushed open the two stone doors and signaled the three people behind to come in quickly.
Two tracks appeared on the foundation of the stone house, and hot flames burst out from the fire jet pipe at the rear.
A few minutes later, the three Kuitians were breathing heavily and looking pale, looking at Bai Ze sitting cross-legged in front of the stone door.
"Bai Ze...if you can't escape in the end, you can leave on your own, and we will delay time for you."
Niu Ba made a hoarse voice and smiled bitterly, while Bai burned five kinds of fire all the way, and the consumption was definitely greater than them.
Not long ago, they had not eliminated the pollution in their bodies, and now the fire bearers are likely to use themselves as fuel to burn firewood.
Bai Ze looked back at the three of them, a little surprised.
"Flower, the human race can burn everything for you, and as allies, we can too. Our Kui Niu lineage has been on the side of the human race since ancient times."
Kuitian struggled to get up, the Kui Niu totem in his body was forcibly moving, and wisps of red tadpole patterns appeared on his arms.
"I need Yuan Stone and firewood!"
Bai Ze spoke slowly, looking down at the gray tadpole lines on his calves, which were the pollution left by that thing.
The three people at the back took out all the things they carried that could be used as firewood.
[Fire Carrier, there is a post station left by the Xia people five hundred miles ahead! 】
The soft voice echoed in his mind, and Bai felt that the Binghua inheritance was being forcibly broken by some unknown force.
"Damn it, I'm catching up!"
When Niu Ba heard Bai Ze's scolding, he cut his finger and drew the Kui Niu totem on the wall.
He wants to use the stone house as the medium and himself as the fuel to carve the totem pole.
"Niu Ba, you don't need to do this kind of thing, get out of here."
Kuitian stood up tremblingly and kicked Niu Ba away. If he hadn't been in a weak state due to the pollution he had just expelled from his body in the afternoon, he wouldn't have been forced into a desperate situation now.
As the elders, the one with the highest cultivation level should protect the younger ones, rather than hide behind and survive.
White light flashed on Wanying's wrist, and dozens of blank totem poles appeared in front of her.
"Fire Bearer, don't worry about me!"
Wanying made a hoarse voice. The pollution had spread to her calves. She was probably going to die on the ancient road of the human race today.
[Firebringer, things outside are getting stronger! 】
A soft voice gave a hint, and Bai found a large number of gray tadpole patterns on the walls of the stone house.
