I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2116 Stone Tablet
Chen Lin and the other two ran wildly along the passage.

The ground shook more and more violently, and the cracks above grew larger and larger.

The three of them disregarded the dangers within the passage and had no time to examine the remains of other ancient witches; they simply kept accelerating.

This causes the speed to increase dramatically.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it had flown over a hundred miles.

However, the pursuers had already arrived.

A snow-white flying sword shot through the gap and entered.

As if it had eyes, it chased after the creature in the passage, only to be slashed away by Chen Lin with a single strike.

But he also suffered a significant setback.

"This won't do. I'll lead the way. We must reach Mount Damo before those gods descend!"

Chen Lin spoke in a low voice.

He only took one sword strike before giving up all hope.

There were at least ten or more Crimson-Striped Celestials pursuing them outside. The three of them were not capable of fighting them, and could only place their hopes on the God of Mount Damo.

It inspires an indomitable spirit.

Transforming into a giant ape, Chen Lin used the Ghost King Blade to protect his head, and like a giant golden arrow, he charged wildly through the passage.

Some bends were not avoided at all, and they crashed straight into them.

Hu Sanniang and Long Xingzhou each grabbed one of the feet, so they didn't have to fly themselves and could focus their attention on any possible attacks.

"Hmph, you can't escape!"

After rushing for another hundred miles, a cold, eerie voice suddenly appeared.

Followed by.

The view ahead brightened as sunlight streamed in.

The upper part of the passageway was completely lifted up!

A massive sword, as wide as a door panel, crashed down, emitting a scarlet light that enveloped Chen Lin completely.

Chen Lin suddenly felt as if he were surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

It was as if what attacked him was not a sword, but a rain of swords, each sword light carrying a twisted and tormented ghost.

Master!

His heart sank.

In the past, the gods I faced, aside from divine suppression, were basically just simple flying sword attacks, and the flying swords I used were all standard white ones.

This one is completely different.

Neither the form of the flying sword nor the pressure it exudes are on the same level.

"open!"

Chen Lin roared.

With a twist of his body, the long sword in his hand emitted a piercing buzz as he slashed out!

Swords clash.

The entire passage was completely overturned, and Chen Lin was slammed to the ground, his body covered in blood.

However, it also blocked the greatsword's attack.

"The Ghost King Blade?"

The cold voice rang out again, tinged with surprise and doubt.

He then gave a faint smile.

"The Ghost King Blade has actually fallen into your hands. It's a pity that you have a divine weapon but no matching power, so it can't change your fate."

The words fell.

A beam of white light descended from the sky, carrying unparalleled pressure, and struck Chen Lin directly.

Hu San Niang immediately stepped in to help.

But it didn't work.

The black feathers were knocked away, causing Hu San Niang to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Long Xingzhou took out a silver sphere and kept injecting his essence blood into it, but it was difficult to activate for a while.

"boom!"

The white light, with its overwhelming force, struck Chen Lin's heart.

Chen Lin was smashed into the ground, his entire body disappeared, and his fate is unknown.

Hu Sanniang and Long Xingzhou's expressions changed simultaneously.

"Buy time for me!"

Long Xingzhou shouted in a low voice.

Then its body transformed into a silver dragon, bursting open its chest and forcefully stuffing the sphere inside.

Hu San Niang's figure swayed.

It also transformed into the shape of a white fox, and with a forceful press on its forehead, a dazzling arrow pattern appeared.

However, the arrow's energy had only been used recently and was still dormant. The arrow flickered a few times but could not be successfully retrieved.

She hesitated.

at this time.

A terrifying wave emanated from above once more. Hu Sanniang dared not hesitate any longer, let out a scream, and a ninth tail sprouted from her back.

The aura intensified rapidly.

His body shrank rapidly, becoming as dry and withered as a dead tree.

"Go to hell!"

Hu Sanniang roared and tore a bloody hole in her forehead with her sharp claws.

The arrows were finally removed.

Give it a good shake.

A dazzling light shot upwards.

"hehe."

With a faint laugh, a giant, blood-red hand descended from the sky and caught the arrow directly. No matter how much the arrow struggled, it could not break free.

"Little tricks."

A chilling voice rang out.

With a gentle clench of its giant hand, the arrows scattered.

Hu Sanniang, suffering from the backlash, let out a muffled groan and collapsed to the ground, her fate unknown.

"Go to hell!"

The crimson giant hand opened again, covering an area of ​​a hundred feet in radius, and slammed down viciously.

"late."

At the critical moment, Long Xingzhou pulled his claws out of his chest, and the silver sphere exploded with a bang, turning into a silver light that enveloped the entire space before the giant hand fell.

A giant hand slammed down.

But there was no trace of them.

Swish!
A young man appeared.

He wore white robes with red stripes and had a sinister face.

He looked around but saw no corpses or flesh in the ruins, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

With a flick of his sleeves.

The shattered ground was overturned in large areas, revealing the spot where Chen Lin had been knocked into, forming a huge crater.

But there were no bodies inside.

"Damn it!"

His face turned extremely ugly, and he vanished from the spot in a flash.

In a dimly lit space.

There was a flash of light.

Three figures appeared on the ground.

They were all completely still.

After a full incense stick's time had passed, the silver dragon slightly lifted its eyelids and moved its eyes.

Only when he saw the huge stone tablet in the distance did he show a relaxed expression, but there was still a hint of worry.

She slowly closed her eyelids again.

Several days passed.

Chen Lin, now transformed into a giant ape, began to have his heart beat, his life gradually returned, and then he opened his eyes.

He quickly glanced around.

Then his gaze fell on Long Xingzhou and Hu Sanniang's bodies.

His expression was one of surprise and uncertainty.

Both of them transformed into their original forms. Hu Sanniang was withered and thin, as if something had ripped out her brow. Long Xingzhou was also skin and bones, with a bloody hole in his chest.

All of them had extremely weak signs of life.

Chen Lin looked at himself again.

Their condition is also terrible.

His body was a bloody mess, his internal organs were all shattered, and his meridians were broken.

However, the heart, which was the target of the attack, remained unharmed.

Chen Lin struggled for a moment, then touched the square scale on his chest, took it out, and held it in front of his eyes.

It was smooth and flat, without any marks. The terrifying white light couldn't even leave a single dot on it.

His eyes showed a strange light.

The object was harder than he had imagined.

Even when struck by the white light, this thing did not generate any energy fluctuations; it relied entirely on its own hardness to block the fatal blow.

That's why.

That's why his body was shaken to this extent.

"Could it really not be some kind of witchcraft artifact, and have nothing to do with the disintegration of the ancient witch's remains?"

Chen Lin muttered to himself.

Regardless, it saved his life.

We also need to thank Hu Sanniang.

Now is not the time to examine the treasure. Chen Lin put the scale back into his heart, opened his storage ring, and took out three bottles of spiritual liquid.

I drank one bottle myself.

The remaining two bottles were poured into the mouths of Hu Sanniang and Long Xingzhou.

Then they began treating the wounds.

An hour later, Long Xingzhou was the first to recover.

It grunted twice and transformed into human form.

Seeing Chen Lin's weakness, he said, "Brother Yuan, do you have any clothes for me? My dragon robe has been ruined."

Chen Lin was speechless.

The first thing this guy noticed was actually the clothes.

It's still a dragon with a sense of shame.

However, he had prepared a lot of clothes, including a demon skin treasure robe that could stretch in size, and he took one out and threw it to the other party.

Then he took out another garment and draped it over Hu San Niang.

Although it is a demon, it has gained sentience and learned the knowledge passed down by ancient shamans, making it no different from humans. However, it is still important to be mindful of the differences between men and women.

Once the dragon boat is properly loaded.

Chen Lin looked at the other person and asked, "Where is this place? Why are we here?"

“It was I who used the old patriarch’s life-bound bead to bring you all here. The last trace of the patriarch in this world also vanished in my hands.”

Long Xingzhou sounded wistful.

"Thank you."

Chen Lin understood what had happened and immediately expressed his gratitude.

Then he said solemnly, "If one day we destroy the Heavenly God Palace, I will definitely help you restore the glory of the Silver Dragon Clan!"

Long Xingzhou shook his head.

"No need to thank me. I'm just trying to save my own life. Besides, I've figured it out. Staying in this realm will only make me a lower-class being. Hu San Niang is right. If you want to have great ambitions, you have to leave and go outside to find a way to break free from the bloodline restrictions left by the ancient witch."

Done.

He struggled to his feet and gazed at the stone tablet in the distance.

Took a breath.

He said in a deep voice, "This is the center of the underground ruins of Mount Damo, and that stone tablet is a sacred object created by the ancient shaman based on the shape of the original tablet."

"It is said that this stele also possesses some of the mysteries of the original stele, but no one has been able to decipher them."

Chen Lin looked into the distance.

The stone tablet is very tall and large, giving people a sense of antiquity and grandeur. Moreover, its shape is very unique; it is not long, but a huge cube.

He immediately thought of the primordial stone tablet of the demon man.

The two have basically the same design.

suddenly.

Chen Lin's expression shifted.

He took out the square scales from his chest.

I compared them.

He was astonished to find that the shape of the scale was also similar to that of the stone tablet.

Could this object also be a replica of the Primordial Monument?
"Don't look at it."

Hu San Niang's voice rang out.

He looked at the scales on Chen Lin's hand, and then at the huge stone tablet.

He said weakly, "What I gave you was the scale of some kind of creature. When it was in my hands, it still contained the breath of life, but it dissipated later. It couldn't be a replica of the Primordial Monument."

"Oh."

Chen Lin was somewhat disappointed.

He put the scale back on his chest and said, "Although it's not a replica of the Primordial Monument, it truly saved my life. I must thank Third Sister for this treasure."

"As long as you can use it, that's fine."

Hu Sanniang struggled to get up.

He took out a pill from his storage ring, swallowed it, and immediately felt much better.

She transformed back into human form.

He straightened his clothes and bowed deeply to Long Xingzhou.

"I underestimated you before. This time, thanks to you, we would have really died at the hands of that Hong Yi. He has the strength of a Golden-Patterned God. It's a miracle that we survived."

"Is it?"

Chen Lin's expression shifted upon hearing this.

Although the opponent's attack methods are strong, they have not yet reached the point where they cannot resist. If the Golden-Patterned Celestial God is at this level, as long as we can overcome the divine defense and join forces with some other strong individuals, it is not impossible to kill him.

The mission then saw a glimmer of hope.

Is it possible to return to the ground from here?

Chen Lin looked at Long Xingzhou.

The Heavenly God Palace has already purged other resistance forces, and they are estimated to be gathering here. We need to find out the situation as soon as possible.

Long Xingzhou immediately said, "The passage to the top is inside the Mountain God Temple, but without the Old Mountain God's permission, it is impossible to get out, and outsiders cannot get in either."

There was a pause.

He added, "I was able to teleport here because the clan leader left a location-tracking artifact here when he brought me here back then."

"besides."

His expression turned serious.

"Don't blame me for not warning you, this place may look like nothing special, but it is actually fraught with danger. There are many evil things made by ancient witches, and you could lose your life if you come across them."

Chen Lin nodded.

He then asked, "How can we contact the Old Mountain God?"

"Offering sacrifices."

Long Xingzhou immediately replied.

"As long as you worship the mountain god within the Damo Mountain area, the other party can sense it. However, whether they are willing to meet depends on their mood."

Chen Lin frowned.

He said in a deep voice, "If they don't want to see us, won't we be trapped here and die?"

"That's it."

Long Xingzhou sighed.

"This is the core of the ruins. All the passages are blocked. We have no chance of forcing our way in unless there is external intervention."

"But."

He spread his hands.

"There aren't many beings that can command respect from the old mountain god, and now they're either dead or living in seclusion. If anyone were to force their way in, it would probably be those guys from the Heavenly God Palace."

"I'll try."

Hu Sanniang took two steps forward.

She bowed respectfully towards the direction of the stone tablet and said, "Hu Qingyao, the Holy Maiden of the Fox Clan, requests an audience with the Mountain God!"

He shouted it three times in a row.

But there was no response.

Hu San Niang shook her head, deciding not to waste any more effort.

Chen Lin looked at Long Xingzhou.

Long Xingzhou waved his hand.

"Don't look at me, I'm absolutely no good. Our clan chief and the old mountain god don't get along. It's already merciful that they haven't attacked us."

"Then I'll give it a try."

Chen Lin followed Hu San Niang's example, took a few steps forward, and bowed to the stone tablet from afar.

"Yuan Shanyue, a descendant of the Red Ape Clan, requests an audience with the Mountain God!"

"not see!"

An old voice rang out, its tone quite unfriendly.

Chen Lin didn't dare to continue speaking, but instead looked at Long Xingzhou again.

Long Xingzhou rubbed his forehead.

"It's the voice of the old mountain god. It seems that he doesn't like our three races very much. But it's okay. He didn't drive us out, which means he tacitly allows us to stay in the Da Mo Mountain area. For the time being, we don't have to worry about our lives."

"That's not wrong."

Chen Lin gave a wry smile.

Turning to look at the stone tablet, he said, "Even so, we can't just sit here and wait to die. Let's explore this place."

After saying that, he walked forward.

"Brother Yuan, be careful!"

They had barely walked ten paces when Long Xingzhou spoke up to remind them.

The voice was urgent.

Chen Lin immediately stopped in his tracks.

Then he saw a mound in the distance suddenly crack open, and a flock of black crows flew out and swooped down on him.

These crows are not purely living beings; apart from their heads and wings, their bodies are completely transparent, with countless tiny gears spinning inside, flashing and glowing.

But the aura was extremely strange.

With dozens of scarlet eyes staring at him, Chen Lin felt mentally scattered and unable to concentrate.

"kill!"

he yelled.

Inspire an indomitable will to dispel negative states.

Then, he extended his left palm, activating the ancient witch's eyeballs, and a beam of eerie light shot out.

Using witchcraft to control witchcraft should be effective.

really.

After being struck by the eerie light, the crows became confused, as if unable to determine their target, and began to fly around erratically.

Chen Lin was delighted to see this.

With his Ghost King Blade flashing, he instantly sliced ​​all the crows in half.

"Brother Yuan is mighty!"

Long Xingzhou flew forward, looked at the gears scattered on the ground, and then at the black knife in Chen Lin's hand, and exclaimed in admiration.

Chen Lin ignored the other party's flattery.

Pick up a crow carcass and examine its body structure.

The gears inside were incredibly precise, seemingly carrying a peculiar aura and possessing extraordinary properties.

Try to activate it with witchcraft.

Didn't make it.

So he threw it on the ground, no longer wasting his energy, and continued walking towards the stone tablet.
