Chapter 36: Bloody Stele
The fog is thick, like Suoshan Pass.
Zhou Heng's gaze pierced through the mist, pointing directly at the depths of the valley, striding forward without any hesitation.
Only ten minutes later, the front suddenly opened up, the fog disappeared in vain, and the clear starry sky appeared again.
Still mountains, still water, dark and deep.
This is...the second half of the valley! Han Yulian's beautiful eyes sparkled. This is obviously not an exit, the terrain is different, and Lu Qing and the two were not seen.
Zhou Heng nodded, full of curiosity in his heart, what secrets are hidden in this misty mountain!
Could it be that there are treasures? But why didn't Heijian respond!
Zhou Heng frowned. The situation in this valley is not easy at all. If there is no natural treasure, how can we get through it!
Then go forward, how can you be reconciled if you don't come to the end?
He started to move forward, and after only two steps, he heard Han Yulian's footsteps, walking side by side with him.
What smell? After walking for another seven or eight minutes, Zhou Heng and the two of them smelled a strange smell at the same time.
The two looked at each other and continued to walk forward. As the distance got closer, the smell became more and more intense, and it became extremely stinky.
Corpse stinks! Han Yulian suddenly stopped in her tracks, a strange color flashed in her beautiful eyes, not so much disgust and fear as excitement.
Why are you excited?
Zhou Heng thought about it one by one, and suddenly he understood a little bit.
This valley is like a magic cave that eats people without spitting out their bones. I don't know how many people died in it, and the corpses are naturally impossible to come out. There was always something about the man who died inside, and some of it was even extremely valuable!
Finding the bodies of these people is equivalent to finding a treasure!
No wonder she insisted on following in. Indeed, with Zhou Heng's supernatural power, she was not afraid of getting caught in it. But just after climbing back from the death line, she can think of things so far away. I have to say, this woman is very scheming!
Zhou Heng was terrified in his heart, and secretly became vigilant. Although the other party had to rely on himself to get out, it was hard to guarantee the future. If she really finds the so-called treasure, if she wants to become greedy, she can kill other people and eat it for herself. When she goes back, she only needs to say that she encounters a monster in the blood refinement level, and she can only escape alone.
It's better to worry about it yourself!
Thinking this way in his heart, he strode forward, he was really curious about what secrets were hidden in this valley.
After walking for a while, the valley became very narrow, like a narrow path with nine twists and eighteen bends. After walking straight for nearly half an hour, the front suddenly opened up, and a large platform appeared.
And this is also the bottom of the valley.
The two of Zhou Heng appeared on the westernmost side of the platform, facing a steep wall, and they had to turn around to see the entire platform. But when they turned around, they saw an extremely terrifying scene.
In the middle of the platform is a blood-red stone tablet, with strange patterns painted on the stone pillars, like calligraphy and paintings, about ten meters high and about two feet wide. Around the stele, there are circles of corpses, neatly arranged, with a total of four layers.
The corpses closest to the stele have decayed to the point where only bones remain, while the outermost circle of corpses is relatively fresh and no bones can be seen yet.
Seeing such a weird scene made Zhou Heng and Han Yulian feel terrified.
Dead people are nothing. Which martial artist has never seen a dead person, but who would be in the mood to arrange a pattern when he died? Could it be that there are still living people in the valley, and the corpses of these people are placed like this?
If there is such a person, what is his intention?
After Zhou Heng just paused, he immediately walked towards the stele. Maybe...the answer lies on the stele.
The platform was only 100 meters in radius, and Zhou Heng quickly walked to the outermost corpses. There were four circles of corpses in this array, and there were about 300 corpses in total. Putting them together was extremely powerful, and it made people feel so shocked. Hairy.
Zhou Heng held his breath and walked towards the center.
hum!
At this moment, the blood-red stele suddenly trembled, releasing a blood-red light wave, which spread to every corner of the platform.
A strong sense of decadence surged in Zhou Heng's heart, and he wanted to die, but the black broken sword in his dantian shook at the right time, and he suddenly came back to his senses, shocked in his heart!
The outermost fog has the effect of confusing the mind, and this light wave is also the same! Moreover, the power is even greater. He could wake up with his own will before, but this time if the black broken sword didn't show his power, he really didn't know if he would wake up!
Speaking of waking up, Zhou Heng glanced quickly, and saw Han Yulian walking over like a walking corpse, her eyes were dark and without a trace of light, she came to the vacancy of the outermost corpse, and lay down straight, motionless!
hiss!
Is this the secret of the circle of corpses? It was not moved by outsiders after death at all, but the mind was confused, and they walked on this road by themselves!
So Easy!
Zhou Heng walked to Han Yulian's side, and saw that the woman's eyes were wide open, but the pupils were not focused at all, it was terribly gloomy.
Those who strayed into the valley before just lay there until they died?
Zhou Heng couldn't help feeling a strong chill in his heart, who could accept such a death!
What is the power to make people die without resistance?
Senior Sister Han! Senior Sister Han! Zhou Heng yelled loudly, but Han Yulian didn't respond, as if she had lost her soul. If it wasn't for the aura of blood refining realm exuding from her body, she would really be dead.
It's so weird, just a wave makes the warriors in the blood refinement realm die without any resistance!
Don't blame me later, this is all to save you! Zhou Heng muttered to himself, and he slapped Han Yulian on the face.
No response.
Clap, clap, Zhou Heng slapped him seven or eight times, but it was still the same. Han Yulian was like a living dead, or in other words, there was only a shell left.
Zhou Heng exhausted all his moves, hitting, slapping and pinching, but none of them worked.
Clearly, conventional methods are useless.
Zhou Heng's heart moved. He woke up because of the black broken sword. At least this treasure has the ability to resist the mysterious power. If it can be called, can Han Yulian be rescued?
The key is how to mobilize the power of the black sword to save Han Yulian.
Let's give it a try, everything depends on man's effort, and success or failure is determined by God.
He communicated with the dantian black sword with his heart, again and again, hum, this strange treasure finally reacted, releasing a supreme wave.
This fluctuation was transmitted to the opponent's body along Zhou Heng's hand holding Han Yulian.
Uh—— Han Yulian let out an exclamation as if waking up from a nightmare, her upper body stood upright suddenly, her face was as pale as paper, but her winking eyes finally regained their luster.
Zhou Heng breathed a sigh of relief, it really worked!
I...I... Han Yulian looked at Zhou Heng fixedly, then hugged him suddenly, and said in a trembling voice, I seem to be locked in a cage, no matter how hard I struggle, I can't get out until there is a light , broke through everything!
This beautiful woman was already fully cooked. Being hugged by her like this, Zhou Heng only felt two lumps of soft meat on his chest, which was indescribably comfortable.
It's okay! Zhou Heng hurriedly pushed her away. Now this beautiful woman doesn't look like someone who is seven or eight years older than him, but more like a frightened little girl. He was not one to take advantage of others' danger, he stood upright, staring at the blood-red stele.
Don't go any further! Han Yulian quickly grabbed Zhou Heng, her hands were shaking.
She was really scared, she didn't dare to think about those corpses on the ground, she had to get out alive!
It's okay! Zhou Heng shook his head and looked ahead firmly. Once he made up his mind, he couldn't stop it.
The black broken sword is enough to suppress the evil of the blood-red stele!
He strode forward, hum, and the blood-red stele emitted another wave of light, striking in all directions.
However, this time, not only Zhou Heng was not affected in the slightest, but Han Yulian was also the same, as if they were all immune.
hum! hum! hum!
Bloody waves gushed out one after another, like shocking waves, and the two of Zhou Heng were the most solid dams, standing still.
Zhou Heng continued to move forward, passing through the circle of corpses on the first floor, and then the second floor.
But at this moment, the blood-colored stone tablet sent another wave, but this time, the wave was not directed at Zhou Heng and Han Yulian, but at the corpses on the ground.
An even weirder scene appeared, those corpses got up one by one!
Martial arts people only practice to become the strongest, and they don't believe in ghosts and gods!
But the corpse that has already turned into a skeleton can stand up, which completely subverts Zhou Heng's concept!
boom! boom! boom!
Green flames flickered in the eye holes of each skeleton, and a layer of red hair grew on its body, which was extremely strange.
This, this is... what is it! Han Yulian's voice was trembling, and anyone who saw this scene couldn't stand the chills.
Zhou Heng's hair stood on end, and his corpse was resurrected, which was beyond his imagination!
Uh...uh... These corpses let out a dry low growl, and the green fire in their eye holes was jumping, making it even more terrifying.
Han Yulian was so frightened that it had nothing to do with her cultivation, but that it was far beyond what she could bear!
These corpses turned slowly and surrounded Zhou Heng.
The second floor inside and the second floor outside surrounded him impenetrably!
With a long roar, Zhou Heng unsheathed the long sword around his waist, Ling Tian's nine-style sword intent swung, and he swung the long sword repeatedly.
Ding ding ding!
The long sword slashed on the bones of the corpse, a series of sparks flashed, and several bones were cut off immediately, turning into powder—even the bones of a master in the blood refinement realm cannot match the power of time, unless they reach the spirit gathering realm.
Once Zhou Heng succeeded in the sword, his confidence naturally increased, but the sword intent of Lingtian Nine Styles seemed to be ineffective against these skeletons, and their movements did not show any stagnation at all.
That's right, he is already a dead person, so how can he have any fear anymore.
Flying cloud steps unfolded, Zhou Heng slid across the sky, stepped on the heads of skeletons, and instantly escaped from the siege of dead bodies, Han Yulian's heart was about to jump out.
These corpses moved very slowly, but Zhou Heng didn't dare to let them touch them at all, because he saw that these corpses all had long nails, which were extremely black!
Clearly poisonous!
