The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 463: The present is called history, the past is called the future (asking for monthly tickets)
"run!"

Although he was one against two, Xu Shu's speed was extremely fast. The mermaid was stained with some of his blood and was used as a target for pursuit. He started off as fast as lightning in the story of Kuafu chasing the sun.

Relying on his memory, he rushed towards the direction of the bronze gate like a rocket.

But such a speed could not give Xu Shu any sense of security.

No one knows better than him how powerful and terrifying this "Yamata no Orochi" is.

This thing surpassed demigod in the first place and was a terrifying existence comparable to the fifth realm!
Of course, when it launched the attack just now, the destructive power it displayed seemed to remain at the fourth level. It seemed that countless years had passed and it was now extremely weak.

But Xu Shu was sure that even if all his people got together, they would not be enough to fill the gap in its teeth.

This is the absolute gap in realm and strength!

A golden light flashed in the Taichu volume, and a paragraph of text was silently added:
[After a period of observation and contact, you finally discovered through this familiar black fog that the Mask of Pain was actually transformed by someone you know.]

[Yes, it is this, the Emperor Shitian who was once one of the four guardian gods of the Root Continent together with the Yamata no Orochi! ]

[Oh, your situation is not good. Memories from countless years ago are beginning to attack you. Please note that this is not a joke.]

"???"

Xu Shu's eyes fixed.

"Why the hell are Yamata no Orochi and Emperor Shitian here?"

"Isn't this the powerful enemy who died in [Ashihara Ambush]?"

"There is a huge ruin called 'Takamagahara' in reality, so they should be there, right?" (Note: See Volume 2, Chapter 137)
"Why is it imprisoned in the Church of the God of Death under the Death Ridge?"

"This is just a ruin with a maximum entry limit of level three!"

For a moment, Xu Shu was completely overwhelmed by numerous doubts, making it difficult for him to understand it all.

But at the moment Xu Shu had no time to care about these things. Escaping was the most important thing!
Eight snake shadows were roaming in the black fog. The Mask of Pain was still laughing in the air, but it was shrouded in the black fog and no one knew where it was. It seemed to be choosing someone to devour.

Ding Ding Deng!
Boom boom boom!
Xu Shu rushed out of the black fog encirclement and looked up, and found that the other teammates were all using various methods to speed up.

As soon as they heard Xu Shu's shout, they also ran away early, and some even ran ahead of Xu Shu.

The aftermath of the snake's bite just now made everyone realize that the enemy here was completely impossible to defeat, and the only way to survive might be to leave this strange underground temple.

The first gate passed by in a flash, but Xu Shu saw that the black fog behind did not stop in the third temple, but spread to the second temple.

This time, everyone was so frightened that they almost died. They all used all their strength, fearing that they would be eaten by the snake if they were a step slower.

As soon as we entered the second hall, the sexy clothing with strange human shapes on them had weathered into ashes. At this moment, the ashes suddenly twisted and condensed into deformed black little snakes.

Some have two heads and two tails, some have three heads twisted together, hissing and roaring, spitting out their tongues, and spraying venom.

"…Is this the offspring of the Yamata no Orochi?"

"I remember it was a male snake, how come it gave birth to so many baby snakes here?"

A flash of doubt crossed Xu Shu's mind. Faced with the snakes blocking his way, he rushed forward without saying a word. Relying on his strong body, he managed to block the venom and fangs.

Several snakes pounced on Xu Shu and tried to bite him, but were directly smashed by Xu Shu, who was like a human-shaped train.

The second hall passed by in a flash, and a similar situation occurred when they entered the first hall later.

Those human-shaped corpses that were originally wrapped in the follicles and were completely motionless, at this time, seemed to be summoned by "Yamata no Orochi" and "Indra", and the swollen corpses inside came to life one after another.

They passed through the bronze gate, ran from the first hall to the second hall, and bit the fleeing people.

Fortunately, although these things were very fast, they were not strong. They were chopped into pieces on the spot by everyone and did not cause much impact.

As for the others, some used thunder talismans to clear a path and blew the snake's nest until it was charred and cooked, while others walked on the ground with swords and cut through the blood mist of the swollen corpses, showing that their methods were no weaker at all.

Many of them have faster short-range burst speed than Xu Shu, such as Lu Bingwei, Gu Pan and others.

As they ran a little further, some of them were gradually caught up by Xu Shu.

Some people were also caught up by the giant snake in the black fog!

Xu Shu saw Huang Lili.

This "Apostle of Evil" who seemed to be very shy, rode on the back of a white mastiff that he got from nowhere, holding a whip and constantly whipping the buttocks of his mount, running very fast alone.

But a huge snake head suddenly emerged from the black fog, and instead of attacking Xu Shu who was behind, it chose to attack her first.

The bloody mouth swung down and bit the two hind legs of the mastiff under Huang Lili's seat.

"I……"

Huang Lili saw Xu Shu behind her, her eyes were filled with surprise. She opened her mouth as if she was about to say something, but before she could make a sound, she was thrown backwards into the air and swallowed along with the dog.

Click, click.

In the darkness, the sound of flesh and bones being separated was heard, and the girl's screams stopped abruptly.

Xu Shu saw Shen Chongyang.

This "Warden" used his ability to sneak in the shadows to swiftly shuttle across the dark ground, even faster than the "Butcher" Ning Xin, who was supposed to be the fastest.

But amidst a series of sharp voices that were indistinguishable whether they were crying or laughing, Shen Chongyang suddenly rolled to the ground, holding his head and crying bitterly. His face was immediately replaced by a "mask of pain" and torn apart, leaving behind a broken corpse that staggered to its feet.

Xu Shu saw Ms. Xifa.

She transformed into a merman, just like a tide-calling mermaid, riding the wind and waves, as fast as the wind and as swift as lightning, but in mid-air, two snake heads suddenly appeared and grabbed her hands and feet.

At the moment when it was about to be torn into pieces, an angry shout suddenly sounded in the air, and the two snake heads mysteriously let go of the flesh and blood they had obtained and turned to look for other targets.

Ms. Xifa was still in shock and continued to run away in a trance. However, after running a few steps, she suddenly heard an evil laughter in the air, and then her whole face was torn off. At the same time, the two snake heads came back and bit her to pieces, causing the blonde to die with a shrill scream in pain, as if this was a malicious prank of theirs.

Xu Shu also saw Ning Xin and Ning Ze, brother and sister.

"The Butcher" turned into a blood-red light and ran at the edge of the black fog, carrying her brother "Dragon Elephant" who was known for his clumsiness and slowness.

At the critical moment, Xu Shu clearly saw Ning Ze, who was running in front, suddenly turn around.

“Don’t look back!” he roared, and formed seals with his hands to hold up an ochre-colored “iron wall and copper wall” to block the front, but the next second, a snake’s tongue emerged from the black fog and swept him and the barrier into the air, and a thick and heavy blood rain instantly burst out.

"Brother--!" Ning Xin's shrill cries came to an abrupt end, because the snake's tongue actually split into two, then into four, and stretched out from the side, like sticky tentacles, binding the hands and feet of the "butcher" and gradually licking towards her private parts.

"Ahhh!" Ning Xin resisted like crazy, spurting out a large amount of blood that turned into a blade to slash across, but he couldn't even cut a hole in the snake's tongue.

——At this moment, the power of life and death no longer seems to depend on how fast you run or how strong you are.

It just depends on your luck and whether you are chosen by these two extremely malicious beings.

Ning Xin's luck was very bad. At the moment when Xu Shu was about to tear Ning Xin's body apart and insult and torture her to death, Xu Shu happened to pass by.

He looked at the bronze gate that was so close to him, then looked at his teammates who were screaming, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face.

Finally, Xu Shu gritted his teeth, jumped up and kicked Ning Xin in the back.

Stab it!

Under the tremendous force, Ning Xin's hands and feet were torn off one after another, blood gushed out, and he staggered and fell into the gap of the bronze door.

At this moment, angry roars exploded in the corridor, and a teeth-grinding sound of bones breaking came from behind Xu Shu.

Amid the terrible stench, a strong sense of crisis pierced through!

The big snake, having lost its original food, stretched out its head and stared at Xu Shu, who was closest to it.

At the same time, another snake head suddenly appeared from the right rear without warning, and it pounced on him with its sights fixed on his position.

As the two snake heads were chasing him, Xu Shu cursed in his heart, clenched his teeth, and ran with his strong and powerful legs like a Hot Wheels.

At this critical moment of life and death, he burst out at the fastest speed in his life, completely breaking through his own limits, and suddenly shook forward with the posture of "Bagua Zhenyou", and managed to move forward dozens of meters.

It was just such a short distance between life and death, and with a loud bang, the huge snake's fangs missed again.

The two snake heads collided with each other, piercing the ground and going deep underground.

"Well?"

A confused growl flashed by.

Xu Shu did not delay at all and continued to run as fast as he could. Finally, when the dark fog instantly engulfed everything, he passed through the last bronze door and returned to the platform at the bottom of the spiral staircase!

laugh!
Chi Chi!

The huge eyes, which were sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and the mask with a strange smile suddenly stopped at the bronze door.

They were high above, suspended in mid-air, looking outside as if they were looking down at ants.

"..."

Xu Shu's breathing stagnated and he dared not make any sound.

However, the bronze gate seemed to isolate everything. The two terrifying monsters looked straight ahead and did not see Xu Shu and others on the ground.

Then, they suddenly showed extremely angry expressions and roared angrily, but soon disappeared.

Boom boom boom!
Amidst waves of slight vibrations, the bronze door moved back to its original position extremely slowly and minutely, inch by inch, centimeter by centimeter, and finally closed with a click.

It fits tightly together, with countless mucus hanging from it, as if it had never been opened.

The entire platform once again fell into unimaginable silence.

There was silence.

It was not until then that Xu Shu finally had time to look back at his teammates.

At first glance, the ones who seemed to be the luckiest were Lu Bingwei and Gu Pan, as they were also looking at Xu Shu with surprise.

Obviously, the two men did not encounter any attack from the two monsters during their escape, and they escaped unhindered.

The second was Xu Shu. Although he was in a miserable state, he managed to escape unscathed, and even brought two extra teammates with him, one unconscious and the other confused.

The one in the worst situation outside is Ning Xin.

She first witnessed her brother die in front of her, and then had the horrific experience of being almost mistaken for a star by the Yamata no Orochi and molested her. It can be said that she encountered the most terrifying nightmare of her life so far in a short period of time.

Now, she was lying on the ground like a pig, staring blankly at the top of her head, letting the blood flow from her hands and feet, but she seemed to have no sense of pain.

The other four people died behind the bronze gate and never came out.

Ten people went in, and in the end four died and one escaped seriously injured. The situation was really tragic!

"..."

"What it is?"

"I have no idea……"

Gu Pan and Lu Bingwei looked at each other, then looked at Xu Shu for help.

But when they saw Xu Shu's shocked expression, they all fell into a long silence.

After a long time, Gu Yueming was the first to stand up. She took out a pill and hurried over to stop Ning Xin's bleeding.

Under the faint fluorescent light, Ning Xin's wounds quickly began to heal, with granulation tissue surging, and new limbs gradually growing out of them - with a third-level "Fate-Playing Man" here, as long as he didn't die on the spot, there was a way to save him, the only difference was the amount of energy and time consumed.

After a while, Xie Xiaochan woke up a little confused.

Looking at the tragic scene, she was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What attacked us just now?"

Lu Bingwei glanced at her, seeming to want to say something but stopped herself. She opened her mouth but still said nothing.

Only Gu Pan said with an uncertain tone: "Demigod..."

"Demi god?"

Xie Xiaochan swallowed her saliva and muttered to herself in disbelief, "What the hell, isn't this a large-scale relic? Only extraordinary large-scale relic of the demigod level can be found..."

"Who knows?"

"What about the others? They..."

"Dead." Lu Bingwei finally spoke.

"Dead..." Xie Xiaochan was stunned and felt very heavy.

Even though it was normal for people to die in the ruins, everyone was no longer a rookie. To have reached the level of strength they have today, who had not experienced a tragic battle in which they had to crawl out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood?

The only difference is that today's enemies are particularly powerful and impossible to resist. So rather than being sad about the death of teammates, it is better to say that we are frightened by the enemy's strength.

But after looking around, I found that the four people on my side were alive, and I felt a little relieved.

But of course this couldn't be shown, so for a moment, the scene fell completely silent. Everyone was watching Gu Yueming treating Ning Xin, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

The only one who didn't feel solemn was Xu Shu.

In his opinion, since one has entered the ruins, one must be prepared for death. This is the price of practicing!

He just feels extremely confused now!
Logically speaking, judging from the situation outside, isn't this Death Ridge a secret place belonging to the Western Continent in [The Dead Return]?

Although we have guessed from certain factors that the "Underworld Sea" in history is today's "Sea of ​​Death", the two legends, no, three legends should be from the same world.

But the time nodes don’t match… [Awada Ambition] is from the ancient mythological era, while [The Ruins of the Dead] and [The Fall of Kyoto] belong to the end of the technological civilization era, which is close to the eve of the great catastrophe…

Well, even if we can say there are ancient ruins underneath the church, how are these two places connected?

Why would a powerful being that was once at the fifth level appear in a large ruins secret realm?
Could it be that this secret realm is connected to a super large ruins?
This... this does not seem impossible... Although this contradicts the existing "logic" of the supernatural world, it is well known that the underlying logic of the supernatural world is actually "incomplete logic". The data sources are all based on speculation and imagination, which is not comprehensive or true enough. It is easy to encounter situations "beyond common sense"!

The corner of Xu Shu's mouth twitched, as if this encounter could only be attributed to "bad luck".

But why do I always encounter such "unusual situations"?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He couldn't help but stuff all of his will into the small Taichu Scroll and angrily said, "Taichu Scroll, say something! I need more explanation!"

[Don't make any noise, Taichujuan is also thinking...]

[Thinking success! After a long period of observation, you have a sudden inspiration and amazing wisdom, and you remember where the familiarity of the symbol on this bronze door comes from! ]

"?"

Bullshit, I didn't even remember it!

...Wait...I think I remembered...

Xu Shu's eyes narrowed, and he was about to retort, but his gaze was completely attracted by the symbol on the bronze gate, and an idea finally emerged in his mind.

[Quack! That’s right, you remembered. The origin of this bronze door is an extremely powerful seal, and its name is——]

[Prison Gate! ]
