The young man waved his feather fan and saw that the mountains in front of him had changed their position. The originally towering mountain suddenly rose up and turned into a huge city.
"so amazing!"
"yes……"
Everyone was talking about it.
"I wonder what treasures there are here?"
The young man smiled and said nothing. He raised his hand and pointed, and saw a tall tower appearing in the distance, with several large characters engraved on the tower:
"Heavenly Palace"!
The moment they saw the Heavenly Palace clearly, everyone looked longingly. The Heavenly Palace is like the residence of the immortal family, so majestic and majestic that people can’t help but want to go in and take a closer look.
"Is that the legendary Heavenly Palace?"
"I heard there are countless precious treasures inside..."
"If you can get the treasure in the heavenly palace"
But when the subordinates took a closer look, they couldn't help but be horrified.
I saw that these so-called mountain palaces were actually composed of billions of Gu insects! Each "Heavenly Palace" is ten feet high, densely packed and countless. They were flying and circling in the sky, creating a terrifying sense of pressure.
At this time, the young man waved his feather fan again.
In an instant, the Gu insect turned into a stream of light and disappeared, returning to its lair again.
"How...how could this happen?"
"Isn't it amazing? Who else would dare to break into the Heavenly Palace?"
"Young Master is so powerful, he can actually control Gu insects..."
"I wonder what the young master's move is called?"
The young man shook his head slightly. He put away his feather fan, turned his head and winked at the attendant beside him. The entourage nodded and immediately led everyone to retreat.
After everyone left, a cold smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth. He looked at the Heavenly Palace and murmured in a low voice: "You will never find the 'Nine Heavens Chalcedony'!"
"This is the Gu Insect King that I spent a year and all my efforts cultivating!"
The young man's face was twisted and his eyes were deep, as if he had demonic nature. His pupils gradually turned pitch black, flashing with a faint blue light.
"In order to feed them, I gave my body to them. I fed them with blood every day and watered them with blood every day." The young man stroked his right arm, showing a look of pain: "Finally, I succeeded. Only It will take three days and three nights for me to completely refine these Gu insects and fulfill my greatest wish in life!"
The young man's eyes were firm and he walked slowly towards the Heavenly Palace.
…
the other side.
After a long journey, Hu Yanxin's team finally stopped.
Hu Yanxin and the other two people were sitting on the ground, resting. Hu Yanxin breathed heavily and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"I'm so exhausted. This damn place is more dangerous than I imagined!"
They had just experienced a crisis. Fortunately, the three of them worked together to kill a beast and save their lives.
But the beast they killed was extremely poisonous. If the three of them hadn't joined forces, they would have died long ago. Even so, Hu Yanxin, Li Zhong and Zhang De were still seriously injured.
"Huh, this damn place, I got hurt before I even walked out. How can we do this?" Hu Yanxin frowned and looked at the desolate environment around him.
"It's okay. As long as you can survive this journey, you should be able to get out of this jungle soon!" Li Zhong gritted his teeth.
While the three of them were talking, suddenly, a poisonous snake emerged from the grass and quickly attacked their necks!
"careful!"
Hu Yanxin reacted very quickly and immediately threw the two of them down, blocking the poisonous snake's attack for them. Although the poisonous snake is vicious, the venom cannot corrode him due to his advanced cultivation.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that they had recovered their lives.
Li Zhong asked: "Why does this beast run so fast?"
Hu Yanxin said: "I guess he went crazy during the battle just now."
"Hiss~"
The poisonous snake spit out the red letter and roared angrily. But under Hu Yanxin's intimidation, it did not rush out again.
Hu Yanxin said: "Let's continue on our way. I hope we can get out of this forest as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will all have to explain here."
They didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly got up and prepared to continue on the road.
Sudden--
"Roar!"
I saw a demon wolf covered with scales and bone spurs on its back suddenly jumped out and ran straight towards the three of them!
"Monster!"
"careful!"
The demon wolf was so cruel that it bit off half of Li Zhong's shoulder!
"ah!"
The severe pain made Li Zhong scream. After the demon wolf bit him, it started tearing him apart. In the blink of an eye, Li Zhong's left arm was torn off, blood dripping, and the bones exposed.
"ah!!!"
Li Zhong was in unbearable pain. He held his broken arm and knelt on the ground, screaming repeatedly.
"You beast, how dare you bite someone!" Hu Yanxin was furious and stabbed the demon wolf with his iron spear.
But the speed of the demon wolf was too fast. His eyes blurred and the demon wolf disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, the demon wolf sneaked up from the side and scratched Li Zhong's chest with its sharp claws, digging out four ferocious bloody holes.
"Save me..." Li Zhong howled miserably, watching helplessly as the demon wolf tore his heart apart and blood spurted out.
"Li Zhong!" Hu Yanxin was filled with grief and anger. He raised his iron spear and stabbed the demon wolf in the abdomen.
The demon wolf couldn't avoid it, and was suddenly stabbed to the core. But the demon wolf has rough skin and thick flesh, so it is not fatal. Its violent emotions inspired its ferocious killing intent, and it slapped Hu Yanxin on the chest.
Hu Yanxin fell to the ground like a cloud, his internal organs were shaking, and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.
The demon wolf rushed over again, opening its fangs and trying to devour Hu Yanxin's head. At this time, Li Zhong struggled to get up and pushed the demon wolf away.
"Li Zhong, you are crazy! Get out of here!"
"Get out of here!"
"If you don't leave, we will all die today!"
Li Zhong pushed Hu Yanxin hard and refused to give up. He has decided to give up his own life rather than drag down his companions.
Hu Yanxin struggled to break free from his restraints and grabbed Li Zhong beside him.
"You guys run away!"
The two fought hard and entangled each other.
But the demon wolf became more and more angry. It roared to the sky, its body expanded in a circle, and its tail swept over Hu Yanxin.
Li Zhong was thrown a few meters away and fell heavily to the ground. The demon wolf pounced on him again and bit his head.
Li Zhong's eyes widened and he refused to close his eyes!
"Beast, beast!" Hu Yanxin roared angrily and kicked the demon wolf in the belly. But the demon wolf's defense is like an iron wall, and it can't be kicked away at all.
"Ouch~"
The demon wolf opened its mouth and bit Hu Yanxin's leg.
Hu Yanxin endured the severe pain and hit the demon wolf's head with his fist.
Bang bang!
Two heavy punches hit the demon wolf's eye sockets. The demon wolf whined and its eyeballs almost exploded. But it still clung to Hu Yanxin's leg.
"Damn, damn, you beast, you piece of shit, let me go!"
Rumble…
The sound of the earth shaking was heard.
Hu Yanxin looked up and saw the branches in front of him shaking like an earthquake.
The demon wolf was so frightened that he clamped his tail and ran away into the forest.
"This guy runs fast enough!"
Hu Yanxin sighed, stood up, took Li Zhong's body and ran away: "Bury him first, and then get on your way!"
The two men carried the body and fled here quickly.
At this time, an army appeared in front of them.
There are more than a hundred people in this team, dressed in strange costumes. Their clothes were embroidered with a lotus pattern, and they wore scimitars on their waists. Their expressions were solemn and well-trained.
"Who are you?" shouted one of the leading commanders.
Hu Yanxin quickly explained: "We are merchants from the Dasheng Empire. We strayed into the precious land because we were lost. Please be noble and let me go!"
"Da Sheng?" All the sergeants looked at each other, seeming to be discussing something.
The leading commander pondered for a long time and said: "You follow me. This is General Helian Tieshu of the Dongyuan Empire."
Helian Tieshu, the famous general of Dongyuan Empire!
"Thank you." Hu Yanxin thanked him quickly.
"Let's go."
The group walked through the forest and entered a huge city.
This city is called 'Helian City'.
There is a stone tablet erected at the gate of the city, with three words written on it: "King Helian City".
Hu Yanxin looked confused.
"Have we reached the royal city now? Why is it different from what we imagined?"
He originally thought that Helian City would be a building like an ancient castle, or a majestic palace. But the reality is completely different. There is no sign of luxury at all, and it can even be said to be extremely simple.
There were only a dozen guards at the city gate, and the rest of the city was empty and silent.
"You can't be a liar, right? This is not a royal city, it's obviously an ordinary village!" Hu Yanxin said in surprise.
"What do you know?" Li Zhong snorted coldly: "How can we enter the royal city casually? General Helian Tieshu is a tiger general and is always cautious. Since he sent someone to bring us here, he must have his reasons."
Hu Yanxin curled his lips and muttered disdainfully: "Tch, isn't it just because of his surname Helian!"
The two men carried Li Zhong's body and followed the soldiers into Helian City. The city was very quiet, with no one around, making it look particularly desolate and gloomy.
"Where have the residents of Helian City moved to?" Hu Yanxin asked doubtfully.
An older soldier whispered: "I heard... this royal city is haunted, so the people have moved to other places. General Helian was worried that something would happen to the people in the city, so he sent troops to garrison the royal city. , to avoid being killed by wild ghosts.”
"General Helian really loves the people like a son." Hu Yanxin praised.
"Of course!"
The two were chatting when suddenly a gust of cold wind blew through and the surroundings became even colder.
"It seems to be getting colder..." Hu Yanxin trembled.
"Not only is it cold, it's also evil!"
The soldier shuddered, pointed to the street ahead and said, "Look."
Following the soldier's pointing, Hu Yanxin and the two saw a dark building at the end of the street ahead.
The building seemed to be blackened with ink, and it was pitch black. But if you look closely, you will find that it is not ink, but a pile of countless skeletons.
"What is that?" Li Zhong asked in horror.
Hu Yanxin frowned and said, "That should be a cemetery, maybe the tomb of a certain general."
Li Zhong swallowed, "Then we still go in?"
"What are you doing if you don't go in?" Hu Yanxin glared at Li Zhong and cursed, "Do you want to freeze to death outside?"
"I..." Li Zhong was speechless.
He knew that now was not the time to hesitate.
"Then let's go in!" Li Zhong gritted his teeth and said.
So, the two of them moved on.
After getting closer, they finally saw the bones clearly. These skeletons are of men, women, and children, with weird shapes and creepy looks.
"Those are... corpses?" Hu Yanxin asked in surprise.
"Yes." The soldier nodded with a stern expression and said, "It seems that the rumors are true. Helian City is indeed a strange place in Beiling. These bones are enough to explain everything.
"
"Are these the bones of soldiers?" Hu Yanxin was shocked.
"No!"
The soldier shook his head, remained silent for a moment and said, "These bones do not belong to the soldiers, but to the enemy."
"enemy?"
The soldier nodded and said seriously: "These bones are the bones of enemy soldiers defeated by General Helian."
