Gao Wu: Starting from Awakening the Bloodline of the Demon King
Chapter 163 Entering the Ruins
The team rested for a while in the middle of the night and resumed their journey early the next morning.
As Jiang Bai said, the team was indeed not stopped next.
It's not that there were no interceptions, but that all the enemies who intercepted were defeated.
Su An didn't know the specific level of Jiang Bai's cultivation. When he asked him, he had an incomprehensible and smug smile on his face, but no one of the enemy generals in front of him could match him.
One day, the team broke through the Kuroshio defense area.
During this period, the team encountered many extraordinary beings of its own and also absorbed some small teams. When their number became large enough, Jiang Bai was not the only warrior who came to provide protection.
When Su An and others arrived at the area near the ruins at dusk, the team already had three generals and more than 200 soldiers.
By any standard, this is a strong presence.
Such a team cannot easily be blocked, even if the person standing in front of them is a demon monk.
After a night of fierce fighting, the team broke through three blockades composed of demon monks and marched straight in.
At dawn the next day, as the sun rose in the east, the ruins were already in sight.
Stepping onto a hill, Su An looked far into the distance and saw a series of collapsed mountains with no end as far as the eye could see. There were no remnants of steel buildings and no traces of man-made creations.
It is quietly bathed in the brilliant golden light of the morning sun, deep and quiet, like a mysterious fairyland.
The mountains have lush vegetation, no different from the surrounding mountains, but the specious basin formed by a large area still has obvious characteristics, and one can tell at a glance that it was once a ruins. .
Because of that incongruity, Su An felt that the ruins were like a scar on the Changling Mountains.
This scar has long since faded away and is no longer hideous. However, even after thousands of years, the traces left by the old injuries cannot be completely erased and are incompatible with the intact skin around the scar.
The collapsing mountains did not collapse randomly. They fell quite regularly. The mountains on the periphery were shorter, and the mountains toward the center were higher.
Like a haystack falling towards the center, the stars support the core position like the moon.
Su An can now finally understand why the extraordinary people from the Yan Kingdom who came here in the first place thought that this was an unusual place and would risk exploring it even at the expense of a divine general.
The features are so obvious that it would be difficult for the mountains to naturally collapse like this.
The scope of the ruins is very vast. From Su An's position, the highest peaks are not in the center, but in the distance at the end of the field of vision.
There was no doubt that there were many demon cultivators active inside, but Su An couldn't see a single figure. He turned his head and glanced at Jiang Bai beside him, asking if he could find the demon cultivators.
"The ruins are a monster city. Everything must be in the room. There is no reason for the monks looking for objects to run around on the streets and rooftops. Of course, they have to go deep into the house to explore. It's normal that we can't see it."
Jiang Bai answered very seriously.
It was difficult for Su An to connect the mountains in front of him with the word "city". When Jiang Bai talked about "room", "street" and "rooftop", he felt particularly inconsistent.
"I heard that the demon clan respects nature and pursues the principle of unity between nature and man. Whether they live or practice in the natural environment, I couldn't imagine it before. Now that I see the mountain city of the ancient demon clan, I have some understanding." Zheng Nanzhi sighed quietly.
Fang Ming nodded: "After so much effort and so much price, we are finally entering the ruins. I really want to see what kind of rare treasures are inside!"
Zhu Feng chuckled and said: "The trees in this ruins have grown freely for too long. Look at those trees, how tall and dense they are. Comparing us with them is like ants compared with elephants.
"It's just like sand entering the sea. If you accidentally die, there won't be any waves at all."
Everyone was silent for a while after hearing this.
Seen from a high place, the ruins are just dense and lush with vegetation, but actually entering the trees that are nourished by the Force and grow exceptionally majestic is indeed full of dangers, and it makes people shudder just thinking about it.
Even if a warrior-level transcendent is fighting inside, it will be difficult for people outside to notice it, unless, like Jiang Bai said, he runs to the roof and jumps up and down in the tree canopy.
Su An now feels that there is nothing wrong with calling the ruins a city. A big tree may be equivalent to a building.
Before anyone could say anything else, danger suddenly approached, and murderous intent enveloped everyone, and everyone felt it!
The danger comes from the hill opposite, where a group of people climbed up!
There were not many people, only a dozen or so. Compared to the team of about [-] people, they seemed weak.
But the aura exuding from the opponent's body is very different. The danger is so strong and the coercion is so deep that people with lower realms can't help but tremble.
"Sword of Dawn." Jiang Bai slowly spit out four words, and his bright and cheerful thick eyebrows locked together in an instant.
Along the way, he had never shown such a solemn look.
"Are these dozen of people all generals?"
Su An noticed a hint of fear in Jiang Bai's expression. He could not accurately judge the cultivation level of those opposite him. He only knew that the other person's realm was much higher than his own.
There are experts guarding the entrance to the ruins. This is expected, and Su An is not surprised.
In fact, the circumference of the ruins is very long, and it is impossible for the opponent to cover everything, so if it is only a small team, it is likely that they will not encounter strong interception.
The strength of sporadic extraordinary beings is limited, so even if they are put in, it won't be a big problem. They won't attract so many experts, but their team has more than two hundred people.
There are too many people, and there is a lot of movement coming. It is impossible for the other party not to notice it, and it is impossible to let them in.
What Su An wants to know now is how powerful these masters in front of him are, and whether there is any possibility for them to fight for it.
If Jiang Bai and other three generals cannot defeat each other, then they will have no choice but to retreat first.
Jiang Bai nodded slightly slowly, then turned his neck stiffly and smiled unnaturally at Su An: "I advise you to run faster."
Su An's pupils shrank.
Just looking at Jiang Bai's expression, you can tell that what he said was not to run in quickly, but to escape quickly!
Then the reality is very clear. The dozen or so people on the opposite side are all generals! Otherwise, with Jiang Bai's strength, it would be impossible to say such words directly.
Su An had no intention of hesitating. The distance between the two parties was not far. A slight hesitation could lead to death on the spot. Just when he turned around decisively and was about to call out to Zheng Nanzhi and Fang Ming, apply oil on the soles of his feet and run away quickly, he saw two people. The individual walked slowly from behind the line.
The moment she saw the other party, Su An stopped.
They were a man and a woman. The man was majestic, wearing jeans and a white shirt, with a free and uninhibited smile on his lips. The woman was beautiful and quiet, with long fiery red hair and holding a simple long sword in her hand.
Su An met these two people a few months ago.
Once in the wilderness and once in Guandu City.
"Oops, what did I hear just now? Where did the coward come from? He just saw a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals and shouted to run away. Could it be that he was so scared that he peed his pants?"
A long way away, Nangong Buqi shouted loudly at Jiang Bai, with a face full of joking.
Seeing Nangong Buqi, Jiang Bai's expression immediately became complicated.
He moved the corners of his mouth, but said nothing. He looked left and right for a while, pretending not to see the other person, then turned back and continued to face the hill opposite, facing Nangong Buqi with the back of his head.
"Hey, that muscular man in front of you wearing scantily clad clothes, I'm talking to you, why don't you respond? Could it be that you not only have no courage, but also no ears?"
Nangong Buqi did not let Jiang Bai go, but raised his voice, "Didn't you just say you were going to run? You run, I will never stop you, why don't you run? You really have no integrity at all!"
Jiang Bai had folded his arms and stared straight ahead, as if he had turned into a stone sculpture. No matter how Nangong Buqi called, he would not respond at all and made up his mind to ignore the other party.
Su An could see it clearly. Since Nangong Buqi and Song Jiao appeared, Jiang Bai's fear of the Sword of Dawn disappeared.
The opponent now pretends to be deaf and blind, but in fact he is as stable as a rock.
Obviously, Jiang Bai and Nangong Buqi know each other.
"Su An, long time no see. How are you doing?"
Walking closer, Nangong Buqi finally stopped pushing Jiang Bai, greeted Su An with a bright smile, and opened his arms to give him a warm hug, "Hey, why are you only at level five? The progress of your cultivation is a bit slow. I and I, young people, don’t slack off!”
This was the first time that Su An was told that his cultivation progress was slow. He smiled politely but enthusiastically, and the next sentence made Nangong Buqi stagger:
"When I recaptured Wumeng Town, you were the one who fought against the demon masters outside the town, right?"
Song Jiao was nodding to Su An, and was slightly startled when she heard this.
Nangong Buqi, who almost fell over, stabilized his figure in time. The arms that were supposed to give Su An a friendly hug crossed him without leaving a trace, and naturally patted Jiang Bai on the shoulder:
"I haven't seen you for a long time, my old friend. Things are going well lately, right? I'm really happy to meet you here. Oh, what did you say? You want to fight side by side with me. No problem. Let's do it now.
"I can kill a dozen low-level generals with just one punch.
"What, you want to compete with me? Okay, no problem. When did I, Nangong Buqi, ever get scared? Let's do it now. Whoever is afraid is the dog!"
After finishing a long speech, Nangong Buqi completed the seamless connection between the conversation partner and the action target. As soon as he finished speaking, the man rose into the sky and shot towards the opposite hill like a cannonball, as if he stayed in place for one more second. It will be like being eaten by a ghost.
Song Jiao unsheathed her sword and followed closely behind her without saying a single extra word.
Looking at Nangong Buqi who suddenly ran out, Jiang Bai, who didn't say anything to him, was stunned for a long time. Finally, he scratched his head and turned around to tell Su An and others: "You can enter the ruins."
As Jiang Bai said, the team was indeed not stopped next.
It's not that there were no interceptions, but that all the enemies who intercepted were defeated.
