People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Chapter 425 Evil Luohai City
Just as Chen Ziyan was thinking about this, a new change appeared in the battle in the lake below.

The white-bearded old fish successfully used more experience to suppress the spotted jacquard to the bottom of the lake, and the hard fish head and strong tail kept falling on the spotted jellyfish.

Although there is still no obvious external injury, it is like a heavy hammer falling on the body, and the internal injury is more serious. The continuous blood foam overflowing from the striped dragon's mouth is the best proof.

Seeing such a change, Chen Ziyan immediately overturned his previous opinion, knowing that the balance of victory and defeat had begun to tilt.

If the striped dragon can't respond, it will most likely be consumed to death by the old white bearded fish.

But at the moment when this thought just came up, Chen Ziyan suddenly caught a figure in his peripheral vision, and when he looked over, he realized that there was another spotted dragon in the lake at some point.

Moreover, this striped dragon is bigger in size, although it is still not as good as that old fish with white beard, but it surpasses the previous striped dragon by a lot.

What's more, from the silent appearance of this spotted dragon, one can tell that it is also an experienced master.

The white-bearded old fish, who was chasing after the victory, was totally unprepared for this. He didn't react until he was attacked from the side by the later striped dragon and bit the fish's gills, but it was too late.

The new spotted dragon is not only bigger, but also more powerful. It bites the gills of the white-bearded old fish and drags it to a cave below. It seems that it is also planning to use the terrain to create an advantage. .

At this time, the striped dragon also recovered, and hurried up to help suppress the old fish with white beard.

Looking at the two spotted dragons that restrained the white-bearded old fish, Wang Kaixuan couldn't help thinking of what the blue-robed Tibetan said just now, and said with emotion:

"There are really two!"

"Not necessarily, I think there may be a family of spotted dragons here." Hu Bayi said after comparing the sizes of the two spotted dragons.

He felt that the obvious difference in body size was probably not the difference between male and female. A more likely explanation was that the striped dragon in front was underage.

"It's okay to talk about the whole family, but what I'm most afraid of is that there will be a litter here, and that will be troublesome." Black Glasses continued.

He was dubious about what the blue-robed Tibetan said, not because he didn't believe what he said, but because he felt that everything should not be too absolute.

You can tell from the other person's appearance that he has never been to this place, so it is unknown how many spotted dragons there are here. It is not impossible to apply the experience of other places mechanically, but it is best not to be rigidly convinced.

Those previous experiences told him that it is best to always remain skeptical.

Probably won't work, but it's a life saver in a pinch!
"Old Hei, you old man must have opened his mouth!" Chen Ziyan said speechlessly.

Because just after the black glasses finished saying this, he saw tens of thousands of white bearded fish rushing from the lake in the distance, and in the front were several white bearded fish that were not inferior to the old white bearded fish just below. Fish whitebeard.

These white-bearded fish rushed over aggressively, as if they wanted to rescue the old white-bearded fish that was in trouble.

But before the school of white bearded fish arrived here, seven or eight spotted dragons suddenly sprang out on their only way. in front of the group.

The appearance of this scene not only confirmed Hu Bayi's conjecture, but also proved that there really was a nest of spotted dragons in the black glasses.

"Do you think there will be bigger guys in this water?" Wang Kaixuan asked suddenly.

He had heard a saying that it is as big a pond as you can raise fish. The area of ​​this wind-eroded lake is not small. If it exists for a long time, there may not be no bigger white bearded fish.

As for the striped dragon, he doesn't think there will be a bigger one, after all, this thing is already very fierce in its current size, and if it gets any bigger, it will become a monster.

"Who can say for sure." Chen Ziyan said.

Even if he knew the direction of the plot, at this moment he didn't dare to say whether there were any bigger creatures here.

"Let's go, take advantage of this opportunity, let's leave here first." Chen Ziyan said after watching the battle in the wind-eroded lake again.

Although he is very greedy for the bodies of the white bearded old fish and the striped dragon, but now he will never take the initiative to provoke each other. Evil Luo Haicheng is their main goal.

In order to get a better view, Chen Ziyan did not leave the huge rock blindly, but climbed up again, wanting to stand on a high place to see the specific situation around him.

When he climbed to the highest point of the giant rock, the first thing he saw was the wind-eroded lake like a mirror, and then the woods distributed around the wind-eroded lake like a barrier.

Behind the forest, however, is a completely different scene.

Behind the green barrier is a depression with a lower level. There are no plants in this depression, and almost no grass grows. Except for the dense weathered caves, there is only an ancient city of wind-eroded rock that looks like a honeycomb.

This wind-eroded rock ancient city has more than ten floors, and its shape is very weird. At the highest point of the ancient city is an eyeball mark made of huge stones.

"This should be the place." Chen Ziyan murmured to himself after carefully examining it.

Although there are some discrepancies with the Xianwang murals, the general outline is correct. This is undoubtedly the legendary Eluohai City.

It's just that he is a little uncertain now, whether this is the E Luo Haicheng that disappeared in the legend, or the shadow E Luo Haicheng that was shaped by the residual consciousness of the first generation ghost mother.

Chen Ziyan did not forget that after they left the nine-story demon building, they once saw the outline of an ancient city full of lights.

While Chen Ziyan was thinking, other people also climbed up one after another.

When they saw Chen Ziyan standing there in a daze, they knew they must have seen something. In order to satisfy their curiosity, they also climbed to the top of the giant rock.

"This... This is the place we are looking for!" Shirley Yang couldn't move her eyes away the moment she saw the ancient city in the distance.

Especially the eyeball mark at the top, as if telling her that she didn't look in the wrong place.

Others were also amazed. After all, in such a city, not to mention anything else, the visual effects alone are enough to surprise.

Chen Ziyan recovered first. After estimating the distance between them and the ancient city, he said, "If we set off now, we should be able to reach the place before night falls."

Although looking from here, the ancient city was not far away from them, but he knew what it means to look at the mountain and run a dead horse. In fact, the giant rock is not close to the ancient city at all.

Looking back at the wind-eroded lake behind him, he found that just at this moment, the situation in the lake changed again.

The fish array that I had seen before reappeared, directly covering the area below them, and it was no longer possible to see the specific situation inside, but judging from the fish corpses and blood stains constantly surfacing, the battle in the lake did not The pause, on the contrary, became more intense because of the addition of backup from both sides.

But they don't bother to pay attention to these now, the most urgent thing right now is to rush to the ancient city first.

After a brief discussion, they decided to set off immediately, trying to reach the ancient city before nightfall as Chen Ziyan said.

Immediately, everyone started to go down, and then headed towards the mountain forest not far away.

After entering the forest, they encountered familiar creatures within a short walk. They didn't know what was going on here, but there were many shrimp balls living here.

Fortunately, the shrimp balls were not aggressive and had no effect on their itinerary.

Just like this, the group of people finally reached the edge of the depression when the sky was dark.

And the moment they walked out of the forest, everyone froze in place, that is, Chen Ziyan, who had been prepared for a long time, was better.

Under the dim night, the originally lifeless ancient city in the center of the depression was lit up with lights at this time.

The lights of the ancient city flickered, but it was surprisingly quiet. This strange phenomenon made people feel fearful.

The countless dotted lights are clear and hazy, as if the residents who are still living inside have lit candles and are preparing to welcome the night.

Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but shudder: "Could it be a ghost town?"

Such a city that expresses both life and death at the same time made him immediately think of 'ghost town'.

"It is said that the ancient city of Pompeii in the Roman era was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. According to later archaeological excavations, it is inferred that the residents in the city were not prepared for the volcanic eruption, so they all kept their normal life during their lifetime. The posture of Pompeii was destroyed there. It froze forever in an instant, is this the same situation in the ancient city in front of us?"

Shirley Yang thought about it, found a similar example, and wanted to use it to explain.

She felt that the lights in the ancient city might have been on all the time, but she couldn't see it because it was dawn.

"Master Chen, should we go in tonight, or wait until dawn?" The black glasses were more pragmatic, and they didn't want to speculate about what happened to these lights, but directly asked if they were going to the city.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyan said, "How can you catch a tiger cub if you don't enter the tiger's lair? Since we've already arrived here, there's no need to wait another night."

After thinking about it, he felt that this should still be the Shadow Evil Luohai City, and it made no difference whether to go in early or late.

But after he finished speaking, he did not forget to add: "By the way, there is an evil spirit in and out of this city, everyone be careful."

Chen Ziyan didn't forget what the blue-robed Tibetans said. The place they were going now was in various senses the lair of the first generation of ghost mothers. They might encounter something, so they couldn't be too careful.

After speaking, Chen Ziyan glanced at the blue-robed Tibetan, wanting to see his attitude.

His own team knew it himself, and he knew that other people would have no objections, and the only one who would raise objections was this one.

But he didn't bother with this, because the blue-robed Tibetans would not be aimless, as long as they opened their mouths, it would be a favorable suggestion for the trip.

Seeing Chen Ziyan looking at him, the Tibetan man in blue understood what he meant, but he just nodded slightly.

In fact, he really has nothing to say, because Eluohai City is too far away from now, even in the eyes of the Kangbalo people, it is full of mystery.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyan led the way into the depression, and the group headed towards the ancient city in the distance.

The process was extremely smooth, and there was no danger except to be careful of the caves everywhere.

When they arrived in front of the ancient city, they discovered that a large part of the hive-like ancient city was sunken underground, and only a part was exposed, which made the barrel-like white city wall a decoration.

But even so, the huge scale of the city wall made it difficult for them to get in.

Standing on the streets of the ancient city, Chen Ziyan immediately noticed that there was a strange mist floating in the ancient city.

This mist looks very light and won't affect the sight much, but it will give people a hazy feeling.

The style of the houses in the city is also very strange, like the holes on the hive, but the streets extend in all directions and are extremely regular.

But they all know that the more such a road is, the easier it is for strangers to get lost, because you will find that wherever you go, the surroundings look the same, and you will soon be confused where you are.

This made everyone dare not act recklessly, and slowly explored together in the city. After searching a few rooms, the sense of surprise in everyone's hearts became more intense, and they even felt terrified.

Because although there is no one in the city, at least one of the ten houses has lights on.

This kind of lamp is not a special candle that can last forever, but an ancient fuel made of oil, which needs to be filled frequently.

What's even more strange is that in the houses they entered, all the lights seemed to have just been lit, and no matter the houses and other buildings, as well as the utensils and animal skins inside, they were all as new.

They even saw a half-milled skull goblet in a house.

This ancient city is really like Shirley Yang said, time is completely frozen at a certain moment.

After walking around for a while, Chen Ziyan stopped and said, "The terrain here is too complicated. The safest way right now is to find a high place to see the specific structure clearly. It is best to find a landmark building."

He felt that he couldn't go on like this any longer. If he continued wandering around the city, it would be a waste of energy, and it would be difficult to have a beneficial effect.

"Altar!" said the blue-robed Tibetan.

"Altar?" Chen Ziyan looked at him with questions in his eyes.

The blue-robed Tibetan nodded: "That's right, the altar. The most important building of the Eluohai people is the altar. This is the place where they hold rituals to gain power."

He told Chen Ziyan that because of the accidental demise of the first ghost mother, the Eluohai people did not leave any blood. Therefore, if future generations want to gain the power of the first ghost mother, they must hold a unique sacrifice.

So if we say which place in this ancient city is the most important, it is undoubtedly the altar where the sacrificial ceremony is held.

"It makes sense." The blue-robed Tibetan's words reminded Chen Ziyan, he nodded, and then said: "Then find this altar first."

While speaking, Chen Ziyan subconsciously looked at his feet.

If it is about other buildings, he really doesn't know where they are, but this altar will only be in the deepest part of the ancient city!
