Chapter 171 10 Entering the Deep and Fighting the Giant Beast

Chapter 171 10. Fighting the giant beast in the depths

On the dark stone path, Zheng Yun stood still and watched, and the others immediately stopped and looked forward.

Seeing Zheng Yun's serious expression.

Everyone was curious and trembling.

They squatted, stood or tiptoed, each looking for a position. Those with telescopes took out their telescopes, and those without telescopes could only open their eyes and look through the lush vegetation.

Whether they could see clearly or only see a shadow, they all took a breath of cold air after seeing the huge black shadow lying on the shore, holding an ancient oriental building on it.

"Master Xian, is this the legendary fairy turtle?"

Zhang Ergou's face turned pale and his lips trembled slightly. According to legend, there are turtles in the East that can hold up mountains. The most famous one is the giant turtle in the East China Sea, which holds up the three fairy mountains of Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou.

It can hold up all three fairy mountains.

That turtle is probably tens of thousands of miles in size.

The turtle in front of them could not be compared with the giant turtle in the East China Sea, but it actually appeared in front of them. The fusion of myths and legends and reality brought not shock, but fear.

"Master Xian, is this beast auspicious or ominous?"

"I have never heard Master Ji say this before."

The other young Taoist priests in the Heavenly Palace had the same reaction.

They turned their heads to look at Zheng Yun, with no joy on their faces, only panic and shrinking from the bottom of their hearts.

Because it was just night.

The Xianhai Lake was surrounded by a layer of blue ink color, and there was a little dark white fog in the sky. The Xianhai Lake was like a water mirror reflecting the scenery of the world, with a hint of dark charm.

At dawn, the sea lake was like a fairyland.

After dark, the atmosphere was completely opposite.

The Xianhai Lake, which was magnificent in the daytime, now had the quiet mountain outline upside down in the lake, and the mountains and waters were upside down and integrated. After staring at it for a long time, I couldn't even see the boundary.

This scene was timid.

There was actually a big turtle lying in the dark.

The turtle actually held up a two-story tower, with slender eaves that tilted upwards towards the sky. You could vaguely see a string of wind chimes hanging under the eaves, swaying with the evening breeze, making crisp sounds.

You could only make out an outline.

The tower was completely dark.

It blended into the background and intertwined with each other. If you looked carelessly, you would think that the strange tower was the pavilion of the sea lake at night, or the pavilion along the dark stone road.

It was really weird.

Combined with the strange cries and movements of various strange beasts and birds that echoed in their ears at this moment.

No matter how they imagined it, they couldn't see a good word, nor could they think of any fairy meaning. They just felt that the tower was somewhat similar to the Hades Pavilion they had seen...

"Please be patient."

"Let me see first."

Zheng Yun waved his hand to let everyone not rush.

"This tower is strange, but it's just right for the Immortal Master."

"To the Immortal Master, this tortoise and this tower are nothing special, and they are seven or eight levels lower than the Hades Pavilion."

Everyone felt relieved.

They also praised Zheng Yun one after another.

On the one hand, it relieved the fear in their hearts, and on the other hand, it was from the bottom of their hearts.

Everyone present, if you have a mouth, who hasn't been to the Hades Pavilion, which is like the underworld?

At that time, I was also terrified, but I was no longer afraid as I walked. I was no longer myself, I became a ghost soldier.

In comparison.

This situation and this scene are nothing special!

Zheng Yun did not dare to slack off.

The telescope in his hand was multi-fold adjustable, and he could easily take in the scene several kilometers away, and it was especially clear, but the more he looked, the more strange his expression became and the more surprised he felt.

The turtle creature floated in the lake and lay on the shore, with its neck tilted up to the sky, and its ferocious mouth opened and closed from time to time. It was obviously a living thing, not a dry turtle shell for decoration.

Although the tower has two floors, it is only a little over ten feet high. Although it has a good shape, it cannot be considered tall.

The turtle is alive.

The tower is man-made.

If you want to fix the tower on the turtle's back, then the tower may be cast out of molten iron, otherwise it will be difficult to stabilize.

With many previous examples, it is easy to draw a conclusion that this turtle-like creature that looks like a giant tortoise may have been controlled by the ancient people of the Heavenly Palace. It is the ancient people's... mount?

What a great trick!

If you use this giant tortoise as a mount and match it with an iron tower, you can go anywhere in Xianhai Lake.

Think about it this way.

There is something outside the Heavenly Palace.

There may be ancient relics somewhere in Xianhai Lake.

That's what Ji Dao said, but he has never heard of this matter. Before Ji Dao counted the monsters controlled by the Heavenly Palace, he didn't mention this giant tortoise at all, as if it didn't exist.

With Ji Dao's temperament, he couldn't help showing off such a mighty turtle. This thing must be extremely vicious.

Ji Dao was even more secretive about the ancient sites outside the Heavenly Palace or in the lake. With his fearless style, the things outside the domain must be extremely terrifying.

Breaking into the Pregnant Demon Tower.

Drilling into the Sacrifice Cave.

Ji Dao was not afraid.

How could this place make him afraid to say a word?

From the perspective of the subordinate, Zheng Yun knew Ji Dao very well, and this reasoning should not be wrong.

After thinking about it carefully, although Zheng Yun considered it more than others and his angle was several levels higher, the conclusion was almost the same, even more terrifying than just looking at its shape.

So Zheng Yun also fell silent.

Others looked at Zheng Yun carefully, and wanted to see the Immortal Master raise his hand to break the situation, but Zheng Yun's expression gradually changed and they didn't know how to react.

It's not that the Immortal Master can't handle it.

It's that this thing is too evil.

After all, it is outside the Tiangong territory surrounded by monsters and beasts. The life and death of Master Ji, who is in charge of the Tiangong, is uncertain. Master Xian should be cautious!

"Master Immortal, what should we do next?"

Zhang Ergou spoke in a low voice, not daring to disturb the big Ao.

Zheng Yun frowned and looked around. Although this big turtle was strange, it was not completely invincible. If he wanted to fight with it, he and his group also had some means to defeat it.

Unless the hexagonal tower on its back is a demon-sealing tower, and there are some unimaginable weird things inside...

But that's not the point.

They came to find Ji Dao. Where did Ji Dao go? If he went to the center of the lake on his right, would he and others still have to rely on the big ao and ride it to the lake for rescue?

How to multiply this?

Since they wanted to use an Ao, they couldn't kill it, and they couldn't use any means. They didn't dare to cross it for fear of being swallowed by it, let alone find a way to ride on it.

"Go forward and try to get in touch with Ji Dao first. As long as the walkie-talkie is connected, there will be some solutions."

Zheng Yun made a decision quickly.

Ji Dao is obviously still alive. As long as he can speak a few words, it will be enough to provide clues to himself and others.

Everyone set off immediately.

They walked more slowly.

Soon after, it was completely dark.

There are groups of ghosts and ghosts undulating in the forest, and the green ink on Xianhai Lake is hazy and hazy, making it difficult to see the road clearly.

The two little Taoist priests who were holding the demon dogs took out a few folded paper lanterns from their sleeves, and then took out a few crystal-clear stones from their pockets, which shimmered when they were pinched gently.

The light of this lantern is extremely dim, a bit dimmer than the lanterns used to guide the way to the Heavenly Palace. It can barely illuminate the stone path when it is hung to the ground, but it is safer because the light cannot be seen a few meters away.

After obtaining Zheng Yun's consent.

The two of them passed the lantern down.

There was more light in the team.

Ghost generals can see at night, so there is no need for these things. Although night vision devices are available, not everyone is equipped with them. The remaining few living people must hold lanterns and look at their feet in order to navigate the increasingly dark tree corridor and stone road. walking between.

Zheng Yun looked back from time to time.

It was completely dark, and the vegetation on the left and right could not be seen. If something suddenly came out and snatched the person away, they would not be able to find it, and it would be difficult to take precautions.

Now it's up to the ghost general.

Zheng Yun asked the five ghost generals to be scattered around the team. If there is something, they should be the first to react.

While walking.

The intercom didn't stop either.

Zheng Yun kept the walkie-talkie on, trying to get in touch with Ji Dao, but as he walked further and further along the stone road, he saw that he was getting closer and closer to the strange big turtle, but he still couldn't communicate.

He turned the volume of the intercom to the minimum and listened carefully. Under the rustling noise, he could vaguely hear intermittent human voices, but he couldn't make it out clearly.

Look around again.

This stone road has no forks. If you want to turn, you can only leave the road and go into the primitive forest on the left to find the way...

Chirp chirp.

Suddenly a string of small voices rushed over his head.

Everyone was shocked. The demon dog in front was the first to react and was about to rush into the forest. The little Taoist priest almost fell down while Zhang Ergou quickly took out a handful of bits and pieces.

Kedester and Zheng Yun had similar reactions. They quickly raised the rifles, night vision and thermal imaging cameras hanging on their chests, and at the same time saw a strange thing crawling over the tree trunk.

It's night.

The cries of birds and animals in the evening gradually stopped, and everything outside the Heavenly Palace became extremely quiet.

The monster beasts in the mountains and forests changed silently, and most of them were carnivorous animals that were more aggressive. The fragrant sand that Ji Dao left along this road earlier may no longer be effective.

Because it is calculated based on distance.

It should be daytime when Ji Dao walked this section of the road. One day was definitely enough for him to complete the walk, and it was impossible to delay it until night. Therefore, these fragrant sands may not be aimed at nocturnal monsters.

Fortunately, the ghost general did not react.

They didn't think there was any danger just now.

A group of eleven people continued to move forward. Under the dim light of the lantern, the stone path was reflected in a simple orange color. There were some traces of foreign objects on the road, and it was also covered with a layer of orange.

Can't tell the color apart.

Night vision and thermal imaging couldn't distinguish the colors of those things, even if the feet were covered in blood.

here we go.

The five senses are gradually restricted.

In addition to vision, hearing is also gradually reduced by the rustling sound of the night wind blowing in the mountains and forests, as well as the suppressed breathing in the gas mask, gradually reducing the perception of the environment.

Fear of the unknown spreads in my heart.

Every tiny anomaly is magnified.

Deep in the forest, there are more and more sounds of creatures preying on each other, and the screams and struggles are shocking.

Zheng Yun and Kedester held the guns, their fingers on the triggers, and the muzzles of the guns kept moving with the movements. It was not a long walk, but their legs and feet were numb and covered in cold sweat.

Roar!

Suddenly a loud noise came from a distance.

The sound seemed like the roar of a giant beast from the wild, the cry was shrill and tragic, and it was accompanied by the fierce sound of water coming from the Xianhai Lake.

Zheng Yun picked up the night vision device and found a gap to look at the lake. He saw in the image of the night vision device, on a strange and green Xianhai Lake, the 'dragon' he had seen before was struggling desperately, stirring up waves on the Xianhai Lake. Hundred-meter-high water splash.

Observe carefully.

The 'dragon' was actually fighting another giant beast in the water. The giant beast was hidden in the water and could not be seen clearly, but it was more than ten feet in size. The two sides fought in an earth-shattering manner!

"Master Immortal, this..."

Zhang Ergou's liver and gallbladder trembled violently.

How could it be that on the Xianhai Lake, which had always remained peaceful, two giant monsters suddenly started fighting?

He just finished speaking.

A burst of wind sounded.

歘!

The ghost general next to Zheng Yun slashed out with his sword.

歘! Another ghost general also immediately drew his sword.

Stab! The sound of flesh being cut off sounded from Zheng Yun's side, followed by a series of tiny 'raindrop sounds' falling on each of them.

It's like rain from the sky.

And they were wearing ‘raincoats’.

But a closer look revealed that it was not raindrops at all, but a series of blood with the smell of blood.

Snap.

A snake head landed at Zheng Yun's feet.

This snake head is the size of a basin! The bloody mouth has been opened, and the snake letter as long as an arm is still vomiting out.

Look sideways.

An extremely terrifying huge python was wrapped around the tree next to them, blending in with the creeping plants they saw along the way. There was no clue at all!

"Didn't see it."

Kedester whispered.

He brought a thermal imaging device with him, but he didn't see it from beginning to end. There was actually a thick-waisted python coveting the tree.

"..."

Zheng Yun looked ahead with night vision goggles.

The stone road under your feet has no end at all, and the big turtle in front of you is not listening to what is going on outside the window. Even if the Xianhai Lake behind him is already in full swing, he does not move.

this road.

Is it possible to get through?

After hesitating for a moment, Zheng Yun bit the tip of his tongue and continued to move forward. Ji Dao did not return for several days, and after hearing his voice on the intercom, he never came from the front to join them.

This means that Ji Dao must be in trouble.

Zheng Yun understands Ji Dao and has full confidence in their relationship. Even if Ji Dao is not a Yin soldier, as long as he still has breath and can get him out from somewhere, he will definitely come to find him! Won't put yourself in danger!

With his character, he would die by himself.

He also had to keep the ‘supervisor of the Immortal Division’ in his eyes.

But until now, he didn't suddenly run back from the end of the stone road, so he definitely couldn't get out!

That being the case.

You must keep moving forward.

You have to see people alive and dead, and you have to see corpses. If you don't have the courage to be scared away by the monsters in the lake, the giant python at your feet, and the giant turtle on the tower, then just go back to your own house!

"Be cautious and move on."

Zheng Yun put down the rifle in his hand and drew the blood-patterned Emperor Sword from his side. The sword was more useful than the gun here.

Everyone moved forward immediately. Before the words on their lips were uttered, their legs and feet began to move forward involuntarily. The expressions on their faces all changed, and there was no longer any fear.

Zheng Yun didn't even notice it himself.

When he spoke when his emotions were up and down, he couldn't help but use Wang Xi in his mouth to convey his emotions to others.

This order can silently make Li Xiya in the Hades Pavilion smile. Even Huzi, who was dyed by the blood monkey and fascinated by the hallucinogenic gas, could not say a word no. The Tiangong Taoist priests were willing to die on their own initiative.

They are a team of eleven.

But in the final analysis, there is actually only Zheng Yun in the team and his ten evil soldiers and ghost generals.

This stone road is so eerie.

None of them are as weird as Zheng Yun himself.

After saying these words, everyone immediately accelerated forward. The disturbing movements along the way were all ignored by them. Anyone who dared to get close would be struck by the ghost general with his sword.

Everyone is in a calm mood.

The little Taoist priest just carried a lantern and hurried on his way. Even if the ghost general drew a knife in front of his nose, he remained indifferent and indifferent.

Even Zhang Ergou and Kedester each drew their weapons and dared to stab anything they saw.

Exploration efficiency has increased rapidly.

The emotion of fear is simply removed.

This is not a halo in the game, but Wang Xi, who leads the Yin soldiers, and has issued an ironclad order to be brave and fearless of death. Without this ability, how can the Yin soldiers not be afraid of life and death?

The Yin soldiers in the Hades Pavilion.

No one is afraid of death.

As long as Zheng Yun does not retreat, it is impossible for them to retreat. No matter what is in front of them today, they must find Jidao.

Courage is the only 'equipment' for explorers. In just a moment, everyone had reached the vicinity of the giant turtle.

As long as they take a turn along the curved stone road and walk down for a while, they can have a close look at the giant tota turtle, and it is not a problem to pass a few tricks on the shore.

Such a close distance.

The Ao was even more gigantic and terrifying, probably more than three feet long, even five feet in length, and the details of the hexagonal tower on its back could also be clearly seen with its carved windows and copper doors.

Maybe he sensed something.

The Ao turned his head and glanced this way, his dim eyes as big as a man's head scanning the forest.

Zheng Yun never glanced at it, but took out the walkie-talkie and listened again. Even though the monsters in the Xianhai Lake were fighting, and the sound was fierce and annoying, he could still hear the human voice.

It's Ji Dao.

His voice was weak.

Keep repeating a sentence:

"Master Immortal... hurry up the mountain."

"Going up the mountain is the only way to survive."

"Master Immortal, hurry up the mountain, the mountain is... the way to survive!"

Thanks to brother Taixuan Wuji for correcting it. It’s an Ao and not a turtle. It has been modified...
