After the fog, I became a birdman

In the bright altar, under the illumination of the central torch, the pile of bones was covered with a layer of warm light, but this warm light could not dispel the weirdness brought by the pile of bones. This pile of bones still looked so creepy.

"Get up." Qi Jiang nervously helped Su Qing up from the pile of bones.

Su Qing took a deep breath, he had never fallen so badly before, the bad thing was that he couldn't move his body at all after opening the door, as if he was thrown directly by someone, it hit him with a bang...

and many more!

"How come there are so many bones here?" Su Qing lowered her voice subconsciously, holding Qi Jiang's arm tightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed some very strange voices nearby. He looked up and saw a pair of orange eyes flashing by, scaring him to grab Qi Jiang's hand even harder.

There is danger outside!

Realizing this, he quickly calmed down, took a deep breath and stood up, the pile of bones under his feet made another crackling sound.

When a ho ho sound came, Su Qing frowned: "What is this sound?"

"The sound of breathing." Qi Jiang's eyes flashed, and he explained to Su Qing in a low voice what he had encountered when he first arrived, "The sound of breathing just now is different from the sound of breathing now, and the sound of breathing is more clearly heard now."

While speaking, the sound of iron chains outside was getting closer, and there was a sound of rubbing against the ground when listening carefully.

Qi Jiang said quickly: "I suspect that those things haven't reached the altar yet."

Su Qing was quickly scanning the surrounding situation, his night vision ability also failed, but he could vaguely see a light jumping in the darkness.

"what is that?"

Qi Jiang looked up, eyes narrowed: "Not just now."

Didn't you just now?Was it the moment Su Qing came in, or when did it appear?

"When you came in it was..."

Before Qi Jiang finished asking, the torch on the altar flickered, as if blown by some strong wind, the light suddenly dimmed a lot. Qi Jiang scanned the surroundings and found that the area illuminated by the torch had shrunk by half.

The dark and scary voice in the dark suddenly became much clearer, as if it was wandering around, giving people a feeling that they would be torn apart once they left the light range.

Su Qing realized that time was running out, knew what Qi Jiang wanted to ask, and quickly said without waiting for him to ask again: "Death Gate, what about you?"

"I don't know, I don't know those words, I pushed it casually, why did you choose the door of death?" Before he came in, he didn't know there was such a thing as the door of life and death, but he just didn't regret it. If he didn't come in, Su Qing would more dangerous.

"Intuition tells me to choose this." Su Qing stared at the bright light in the distance, maybe because the altar they were on was darkened or other reasons, the light in the darkness became brighter, like a torch jumping Same.

"Then do you have an intuition that you want to leave this altar?" When Qi Jiang asked, his intuition had already told him the answer.

"I don't want to become a pile of bones and stay here." Su Qing's tone was disgusted, and the light hunting bow had already appeared in his hand.

Qi Jiang let go of his hand, and held the dragon-horned swords in his hands: "Those things should not be there, go to the torch first."

Su Qing hummed, and filled the quiver with a spiritual arrow.

The battle is coming, although the spiritual power condensing arrow is powerful, it also consumes a lot, before you know the enemy's strength, it's better to use consumables to top it.

A lantern appeared in Qi Jiang's hand and threw it out of the altar. The dense darkness directly swallowed the light of the lantern without any buffer time.

The two looked at each other, Su Qing understood what Qi Jiang meant, and the ice and snow crystal ball appeared in front of him, emitting a faint light, and flew out of the altar according to his instructions.

This time, the light stayed in the darkness smoothly, and the two quickly ran out of the altar and entered the light range of the crystal ball, back to back, and entered the darkness one after the other.

Although the light from the crystal ball was weak, it could still illuminate a place five meters away. Their feet were filled with white bones, and they couldn't see what the real ground looked like. There was a crackling sound coming from their feet. Walk on the road of bones with one foot.

Just like in the ruins before, you can't fly or use supernatural powers here, only spiritual power can be used, and I don't know if it's for the monster race or all the creatures that come in.

call!

An evil wind blew, and Qi Jiang at the back of the hall found that the torches of the altar that they had left for less than 5 minutes suddenly went out, and there was a bang, as if the altar had been hit by something, and the sound of breathing As they got closer, the sound of iron chains was no longer rubbing against the ground, but more like rubbing against a pile of bones.

There is really something around!

The two subconsciously quickened their pace, and within 2 minutes of walking, there was another bang from behind, and then it was like glass breaking, something shattered in the dark, and the sound was still where the altar was.

The weird eyes shining in the darkness before also disappeared without a trace, but soon appeared again, this time no longer appearing around them.

woohoo~

jie jie jie~

There were many strange sounds, and pairs of eyes suddenly appeared in the direction of the altar, and the pile of bones over there made crackling and crashing sounds, as if a group of things were running back and forth on it.

After more than ten seconds, it seemed that they didn't find what they wanted, and those strange voices were full of anger, and disappeared suddenly after a few calls.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, but it gave people a feeling that those things had discovered them.

The two knew that their feelings were right, and they didn't dare to stop. Even if they took a step, they would make a sound. Even if they knew how conspicuous the light from the crystal ball was in the dark, they didn't stop. Instead, they started trotting.

Kacha~

Behind the left, there was an unusually slight sound from the direction of five o'clock that could easily be ignored.

Su Qing's eyes sharpened, he quickly took the arrow and drew the bow and shot it out, and continued running without looking at it.

He and Qi Jiang were back to back, and Qi Jiang in the back of the hall clearly saw the spirit arrow cut through the darkness and shot into a strange creature with carrion and skin hanging on the bone. The face of that creature just flashed past, and then He was shot by the spirit arrow and fell to the ground with a slap.

squeak~

A mouse's cry came, the sound was full of pain, and then a strong wind hit, Qi Jiang stretched out his hand, and the dragon's horn knife chopped off a thing that looked like a cat's claw, a half-boned, half-rotten cat The claws twitched a few times on the ground, and then, as if they were afraid of light, they ran out of the light range of the crystal ball while emitting rotten water.

It was like a signal, and there were continuous clicking sounds around them, as if many things were running after them, and some things kept approaching the light range, jumping in when they saw an opportunity to hurt people.

Su Qing's spiritual arrows shot out non-stop, sometimes they could hit the rotten corpses in the dark and fly them away, sometimes they just passed by some extremely agile rotten corpses, and a second arrow was needed to make up for it. Shooting them flying, Qi Jiang's dragon-horned double knives kept waving, always able to cut off some claws or carrion, but before attacking, he couldn't see what was attacking them.

These things are afraid of light, most of the rotting corpses don't dare to enter the light range, they just run around them, and those who dare to hurt others are the most agile rotting corpses, even Su Qing's arrows may not be able to hit them, Qi Jiang It's not surprising that I can't see clearly.

The position of the torch ahead was about ten minutes away from them, Qi Jiang's eyes flashed, and he asked Su Qing how far away, and heaved a sigh of relief after getting the answer.

That's okay, you should be able to safely reach the location where the torch is.

As he thought, although the rotting corpses in the dark are very annoying, fortunately, their strength is not too high, and they have photophobia. They arrived at another altar after ten minutes.

As soon as they stepped into the altar, those things gathered around the altar unwillingly, and a few tentatively stretched their claws in. As soon as they touched the light of the torch, they were corroded, screaming and turning into a puddle of rotten water, chopping It was too late to break the claws.

ho jie~

The surrounding rotting corpses took a step back in fright.

Qi Jiang and Su Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and began to observe the altar where they were.

This altar does not have as many bones as the previous altar, and you can vaguely see the surface of the altar, which is full of black marks, as if it has been poured with blood, layer after layer, and the original appearance of the altar cannot be seen at all. .

The torches here are similar to the previous torches, but with stronger light.

Ten seconds later, with more than a dozen carrion corpses dead, these things finally retreated unwillingly. The sound of ho ho ho jie je chi chi chi chi chi was the carrion corpses chasing them just now. After these things left , this type of sound also disappears.

But what is strange is that the sound of the iron chain still did not stop, it was still the sound of rubbing against the pile of bones. The panting sounds that seemed human but not beast should come from the owner of the iron chain. These sounds were getting closer and closer to them, which meant that they crisis has not been resolved.

"When we ran over just now, the sound of the iron chain didn't stop." Su Qing said while adding arrows.

"Well, it's even closer." If they were far away before leaving the altar, they are now close. Although they don't know how big the pile of bones is and where it radiates, since they entered the pile of bones, That should be really not far from them.

"These things are all demon clan." Su Qing frowned, looked down at the bones under his feet, and finally knew what the test site of the Holy Deer Mountain mentioned in the inheritance was, "it should be the genius of the demon clan who entered the ruins back then, those outside The rotten corpse should be the pride of heaven who failed the trial but survived."

After speaking, both of them were silent.

They all knew that the previous trials in the cultivation world were cruel, but after seeing it with their own eyes, they realized that the cruelty they had imagined was far from reality.

The blood on the altar was layer after layer, and there were so many bones, how many demon clan geniuses were buried here back then?

The Holy Deer Mountain is a sacred place for the monster clan, and it is impossible to have a detailed introduction in the inheritance of the Su family. However, it is also said in the inheritance that all Tianjiao who walk out of the death gate of the Holy Deer Mountain will be famous all over the world. Can fly.

But Tianjiao, who didn't die but couldn't get out, became a test tool for the new generation of Tianjiao.

This may be a screening mechanism.

The surroundings fell into darkness again, and the eyes in that darkness disappeared, and this space seemed much safer.

Yes, it looks.

At least for now the altar is safe.

Now witnessing those Yaozu Tianjiao who were forced to stay and turned into irrational rotting corpses, they all guessed that there is a time limit here, and they must find a way to get out if they want to go out.

They were in a hurry before, and they didn't have time to observe the reliefs on the torch pillars on the altar. Now that they have time, the two of them didn't talk much about other things. They walked around the reliefs to see if there was any way to get out, and at the same time, they didn't forget to pay attention to the outside of the altar. , in case there was another torch in the darkness that they didn't notice.

On the relief is the worship of all beasts on the Holy Deer Mountain. This should be the scene where the monsters in the practice world worshiped the Holy Deer Mountain in the past. The man in the front is a man in a golden robe and a crown, like an emperor. Except for him, the rest are all Beast body, this should be the former Demon Emperor.

Qi Jiang glanced at the relief on the altar above a few times before, and felt very familiar: "This relief should be the same as the relief on the previous altar."

"The key to getting out is Sacred Deer Mountain?"

"I still don't know if I can get out after passing a certain level, or if I have to find the location hinted on the relief." Qi Jiang sighed slightly and shook his head, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "The Holy Deer Mountain was not transformed by a demon deer saint. How could there be such a relief sculpture worshiping the holy deer mountain?"

The saints are all dead, how can there be worship reliefs?

It looks like it was made by hand, but to be honest, the relief on the pillar seems to be natural, without any artificial traces.

"Sacred Deer Mountain was formed in the ancient era of the end of the law. After the war, all ethnic groups recuperated and recuperated, and the Holy Deer Mountain disappeared. It is unclear when it became a holy place for the monster race." Su Qing explained to Qi Jiang in a low voice, "In short, there was a holy place first. There is a holy place behind the deer mountain, and there used to be saints here with remnant souls, although the saints saved the common people, but they also came from the monster clan, so it is normal for the monster clan to set up a place of trial and inheritance."

There are two kinds of remnant souls, one is the broken soul, and the other is obsession, and Su Qing is talking about the latter.

Generally, places of inheritance have the obsession of the ancestors, and if the obsession is not eliminated, it means that the most suitable inheritor cannot be found.

Of course, the obsessions of the ancestors have a certain time of existence and will not exist forever. If there is really no inheritor, it will only be a pity.

A place of inheritance like the Holy Deer Mountain is different. In the past, the Holy Deer Mountain was owned by the monster race, and the remnant soul of the saint set up this inheritance and trial place for the monster race. To make it not restricted by time, you only need to Just set the rules.

In other words, the modern saying is that students are admitted according to the score line. In this way, whether the saint's obsession exists is secondary.

Such a holy place dedicated to one race actually exists in every race, but I just don't know if it will still exist in the world like the Holy Deer Mountain.

Just like the Holy Deer Mountain, although it has always existed in the past, the gate of the relic is opened every 500 years, and it still needs a specific time to open. Now that there is no limit, it is a big variable.

The ruins need to be maintained by energy, and they also need to recuperate. If the door is kept open, it will not be far from extinction.

There is nothing special about the relief except that the beasts worship the holy deer mountain, and there is no difference in touch, and there is nothing to press or move.

The two wrote down the various parts of the relief, and then leaned on the relief to look at the darkness outside.

"Before the great expansion of the world, Hei Wu should have come here too. He should have been directly inherited from above, but how did the half-immortal get out?" Qi Jiang felt a little puzzled.

The half-undead only gave them the map and method to enter the ruins, but that was a matter for later, if they couldn't get out of the trial ground, they couldn't go to the inheritance ground, let alone get the Chaotic Origin Ball.

It should be noted that if Tianjiao who is not selected wants to enter the inheritance land corresponding to the first nine stone bridges, he can only pass through the trial land of the next two stone bridges first.

Although the two stone bridges have several choices of life and death and life, old age, sickness and death, they only correspond to different difficulties. Since it is a place of trial, it will not be too ordinary.

Not to mention how to pass the trial ground behind each door, after passing the trial of each difficulty level, the corresponding selection range is also different.

The greater the difficulty, the greater the range of choices, and the dead door must be able to go to places that other doors cannot reach.

"Since my intuition told me to go through the door of death, it means that only in this way can I get the Chaotic Origin Ball, half immortal is not a monster race, she can only enter from the two stone bridges below, no matter which inheritance she chooses later Since she knows where the Chaotic Source Ball is, she must go to the same dead end as us." Su Qing frowned, "She is a lightning strike wood, and the means she uses are thunder, fire and wood. The strength of the rotting corpse is average, she should not use supernatural powers and laws to kill chickens, but we didn't find any traces of her along the way."

The premise of this assumption is that the intuition is correct, and the half-undead did not lie to them.

According to experience, their intuition has never been wrong, semi-immortal has a contract with them, and there is no possibility of deceiving them.

In other words, there is a [-]% probability that half-undead really walked through the door of death.

It is impossible for her not to be illiterate after living countless years. She said that she is here to heal her injuries. If she is injured, she dares to choose death. If she knows the map of the ruins, then she must know Sacred Deer Mountain very well.

"So, as long as we find the traces left by the half-immortal and walk out along her path, then we have a great chance of passing the test." Qi Jiang concluded.

However, how to find traces of semi-immortality?

"Do you still remember how to write the word door you chose?" Su Qing wanted to continue to speculate.

Qi Jiang wrote the word on the palm of Su Qing: "Is it the word for death?"

"Well, that is to say, the altar we just entered is the starting point of the gate of death, and the starting point of the half-undead is the same as us." Su Qing nodded, and then looked in the direction of the already extinguished altar, "We follow the light If the half-undead are coming in our direction, that kind of carrion is photophobic and evil, lightning strikes and burning is the best way, there are so many bones on the ground, it is easy to leave traces."

Su Qing had a bad premonition in his heart, maybe they were going in a different direction from Half Immortal.

Qi Jiang also had this premonition, but now that he was in a safe place, he couldn't immediately confirm what he was thinking. What if the traces of half-immortality were covered up?

Moreover, Half Immortal said that she came here to heal her wounds after she woke up, but who knows when she woke up?

There is no safe zone in the whole world. Now that they are in a safe zone, it is not a good choice to leave easily. At least for now, he has not found a reason to convince himself.

"Those rotting corpses will attack when they find living things. The altar is a safe area. They don't have a death circle altar, which means that they are restricted. Before we heard the sound of breathing and chains that looked like humans but not beasts, we thought That thing was nearby, but when we left the altar, those rotting corpses started to smash the altar." Qi Jiang thought carefully, "The sound of their footsteps was actually very obvious when we walked all the way, but when we were smashed on the altar In other words, they didn’t find us until the protective cover of the altar was smashed, but before that, we didn’t hear any footsteps outside.”

All they heard was the voice of the owner of the chain and the sound of the rotting corpse, not the sound of footsteps.

"You mean, they didn't come from the outside, but came out of the altar?" Su Qing frowned, "But this is not right, since they came out of the altar, why did we hear them coming out after the sound of the protective cover breaking?" The sound of running on the pile of bones? Why would they want to enter the altar? And we were in the altar before, and we didn’t see those carrion corpses.”

"Then we can only come out from the third dimension." Qi Jiang shook his head, "Anyway, it's impossible to come from outside the altar, otherwise we would have encountered it long ago."

If it's not inside or outside the altar, then it can only be in the middle of the altar.

Su Qing's eyes flashed, and he pointed nervously at the top: "Is it possible that it is above the altar? The shattering sound we heard was not the sound of the protective cover of the altar, but the sound of the cage that imprisoned them being broken?"

Before Qi Jiang could answer, the crystal ball quickly flew over the torch, and sure enough, he found densely packed transparent cages, each cage was full of sleeping carrion corpses, and there were hundreds of them in each cage. If they were broken, the number would be about the same as the rotting corpses that chased them just now.

Now that the second lit torch has not been found in the darkness, Qi Jiang frowned. When he first entered the gate of death, the brightness of the torch over there was not as bright as here, but he was quickly spotted by the existence outside.

Since then, a rotting corpse in one of the cages has found him.

In other words, the brightness of the torch has something to do with the cage of the rotting corpses. Perhaps after the brightness decreases, the torch will not be able to hide their aura.

The rotting corpses that chased them just now might have retreated because they couldn't find their aura, otherwise, those rotting corpses were all near the altar, and they could clearly see them, so why did they retreat?Normally, the siege should continue.

But the sound of the iron chain was getting closer and closer to them. In other words, the owner of the iron chain was not restricted by the torch, and its level must be much higher than that of the rotting corpse.

They came to the second altar now, 10 minutes had passed, the brightness of the torch hadn't changed, the surrounding was quiet, and there were no carrion corpses, it seemed safe, but the owner of the chain was approaching step by step.

Could it be that the brightness of the torch remains the same, and if the third altar does not appear, they will do nothing?

"Susu, we haven't found the third altar yet, so we can't sit still." Qi Jiang looked anxious, "At least we have to find a way for the half-undead to leave."

"You mean, go back to the first altar?" Su Qing's face changed slightly.

"Yes!" Qi Jiang nodded affirmatively, "Think about it, we don't know how many cages there are on the first altar, if there is only one, does that mean that if the torch goes out, the cages on the second altar Will these rotting corpses come out in droves? If there are many cages over there, that would be fine, at least according to the law, our current altar will not have too many cages broken by then."

Su Qing nodded: "You continue."

"If we don't go back, we will never know which clues we missed. According to the current clues, we don't know if this second altar is a trap, and we don't know how to leave. And don't forget, we left It's the gate of death, if you just sit and wait for death, you may really die."

Su Qing hesitated to speak, and really wanted to ask what if they went out, and the rotting corpses in the cages above smelled them and came out in droves?

But after thinking about it, he still didn't ask.

Qi Jiang is right, they can't sit still.

How many demon clan arrogances are there?Why do some become bones after death, and some become rotting corpses?Why can't they go out?This is the Holy Land of the Monster Race. Before they came in, the elders would definitely tell them how to get out. Why didn't they have time to get out?

This may be because there is a time limit for escaping from the trial ground, or it may be that the owner of the iron chain cannot be defeated.

In fact, the traces left by the half-undead are not the point. The point is that they left too hastily before, and they know very little about this place of trial.

They stayed here, even if the first altar they left in a hurry had any clues, they didn't know, they might as well go back to the first altar to have a look, the left and right rotting corpses are not difficult to deal with.

"Then let's go!" Su Qing no longer hesitated.

The two returned the same way again, and after leaving the altar, they ran as fast as they could in the darkness. Fortunately, the carrion corpses they left before never appeared.

This time they came back without fighting, their speed was faster than before, and they arrived at the first altar in about 10 minutes.

The torches here have been extinguished, and the pile of bones has been messed up, and some pieces of meat left on it are disgusting to look at.

The crystal ball flew upwards, and a cage appeared in front of them. There were also hundreds of rotting corpses inside, which was about the same number as the number of rotting corpses in a single cage on the second altar.

In addition, there are some white bones attached around the cage. If you look carefully, they are some claws and arms, not complete white bones.

"It's the rotting corpses that hunted us down." Qi Jiang pointed to some of the rotting corpses with broken arms and legs, "Those were chopped up by me, and there are traces left by your spirit arrow. These bones should be used for restoration. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the noses of one or two carrion corpses moved.

Qi Jiang and Su Qing were startled, they didn't bother to observe the cage, and hurriedly separated. Su Qing went around to check if there were any traps, or if he found any traces left by the half-undead, and Qi Jiang went to see if the relief was consistent with the first one. The two altars are the same.

"Here!" Su Qing found the traces of the fire, and his face showed joy.

Qi Jiang came over: "The reliefs are the same."

Su Qing didn't find any other organs or magic circles either, so he could only follow Half Immortal first.

Not long after the two left, the cry of the rotting corpse sounded again, and some blinking eyes appeared in the surrounding darkness.

It wasn't until this time that they discovered that the eyes were warning lights, not the rays of light from the eyes of real rotten corpses, but if the rotten corpses broke out of their cages, these warning eyes would disappear, and the eyes they saw afterwards were real rotten corpses. dead eyes.

So after the cage was broken before, the eyes that had been blinking in the surrounding darkness would disappear, and the next time they appeared would be in the direction of the altar.

Bang!

Bang!

As before, after the two slams, the sound of the cage breaking came, and the blinking eyes around disappeared, and the eyes of the rotting corpse appeared in the direction of the altar.

"Run!"

The carrion was still some way away from them, and they could run a little further.

There are some traces of fire and lightning strikes on the white bones on the ground, and some sawdust can be seen faintly. This must be the path that the semi-immortal walked before.

This direction is opposite to the direction of the second altar. The two suspect that the second altar may be a trap. The reason why there are not many bones on it is because the former Yaozu Tianjiao had elders to guide them, so naturally they would not be the first choice. that way.

Only when you are forced to have no choice will you choose a temporarily safe place.

This is the reason why there are not many bones on the second altar, and it is also the reason why Qi Jiang and the others are fleeing in a higher and higher terrain. There are more bones here than there, because there are more dead monsters here.

They chose the right path!

But after they ran for a while, they noticed that the owner of the iron chain was getting closer and closer to them, and the voice was right in front of them.
