Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 586: The Three Kunlun Demons
The red sun sets in the west and the sky is filled with rosy clouds.

The desert, which had been scorched by the sun all day, gradually became colder.

After the SUV that saw Li Changshou off slowly drove out of the oil field, in an office filled with various monitoring equipment, two middle-aged men in plain clothes stood in front of the window, looking at the vehicles gradually disappearing at the end of the road.

"You're just sending people away like this. Aren't you afraid of something going wrong?"

"You have to let out a long line to catch a big fish. After Zhou Tong disappeared, he was the only witness to the battle. If he had been detained by us all the time, there was no way those rats hiding in the dark would have torn off their disguises and revealed their true appearance."

"Aren't you afraid of getting out of hand? Then, that Li Changshou will realize that you are secretly monitoring his every move."

"It is inevitable that we will be discovered, but what can we do about it?"

"I finally understand that you guys are crazy. The privacy protection regulations are probably bullshit in your eyes. Can you tell me, after collecting and analyzing big data, have you identified those rats?"

"You want to go to jail." The man looked at the man next to him with a smile.

"If you don't want to tell me, forget it. I don't like your life of living on the edge of a knife. It's safer to tinker with my machine." The man shrugged and said.

"With this opportunity, even if we cannot uproot all the alien forces hiding in the dark, we must eradicate the largest ones. These aliens pose too great a threat to ordinary people."

"As long as ordinary people like us don't get hurt, you can do whatever you want."

The rays of light came through the windows and shone upon them, as if they were covered with a layer of scarlet blood and their slightly dark cheeks looked as if they were coated with a layer of beeswax.

A period of great change is about to come. Not only are the dormant alien forces thinking of moving, but even the ambitions of people within some powerful departments are beginning to collide, and they intend to take this opportunity to expand their deterrent power.

At the same time, Li Changshou, who was sitting in the back seat of the SUV, couldn't help but open his backpack, as if he was carefully checking whether his personal belongings were damaged.

In fact, he was observing the extra pendant on the keychain.

The pendant is divided into two parts, one is something similar to a disc, and the other looks like a miniature rockery.

If you look closely, you will find that the disc-like object is actually made up of three layers of discs of different sizes, but its volume is too small to make its layered structure clear.

The whole thing is only as big as an adult's fingernail and looks like an ordinary work of art. It is engraved with tiny patterns that seem to have been caused by wear and tear, with no regular pattern at all.

The more he observed it, the more familiar it seemed to Li Changshou, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Soon, the scene that he saw in the starry sky when he was absent-minded flashed through his mind.

Above the galaxy, the mysterious altar surrounded by the yellow divine bull, the golden holy ape, and the red true dragon, isn’t it an enlarged version of the disc hanging on the keychain?

Instantly, Li Changshou's mind was shaken. Could it be that those scenes were not just hallucinations that appeared to him, but that there really were three god-like creatures who were performing sacrifices on the galaxy thousands of years ago?

After thousands of years, the scene of the sacrifice finally passed through the barrier of the universe and was reflected on the earth, and was captured by him.

Those three strange men who were fighting with blood on their backs were not out of boredom and came to the desert to fight, but they calculated the destiny and were waiting for some kind of divine object to descend from the sky?
But this couldn't explain the sudden appearance of an extra accessory on his keychain.

After temporarily putting aside all the doubts in his mind, Li Changshou began to observe the rockery ornament next to him.

The turquoise rockery is about the size of a little finger, and the material seems to be made of bronze. In fact, because of the long time, the bronze that should have been golden has oxidized into copper green.

There is nothing unusual about the appearance.

However, four simplified Chinese characters are engraved on the mountain.

“Eternally green!”

At first glance, it is a modern imitation and has no ancient charm at all.

"Eternal green, eternal immortality!" This sentence subconsciously emerged in Li Changshou's mind, as if this green mountain contained the ultimate secret of immortality.

Since there are words on the green hills, there should be some on the altar as well.

Li Changshou secretly calculated in his heart, and observed the dark altar over and over again.

Finally, I saw four blurry characters at the bottom: "Respect Heaven and Follow Ancestors."

"Could it be related to offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors?"

Li Changshou stroked the altar of Jingtian Fazu with one hand and the Wan Gu Changqing Mountain with the other, his thoughts unconsciously drifting away.

How did they end up on your keychain?

Is it related to the battle with the aliens?
Did the official investigators find anything abnormal about them?

Where is Zhou Tong now?

What exactly does he mean by "seeking immortality"?
For a moment, Li Changshou felt that the three views he had formed for more than twenty years were about to be overturned.

Suddenly, the world seemed to change, becoming something he no longer recognized.

But after taking a look at the sand-fixing green belts on both sides of the desert highway, Li Changshou felt that the world was still the same, but he was lucky enough to see a corner of the real world.

"What do you feel when you realize one day that not all the people you see are human?"

The day before departure, when Zhou Tong invited him to drink in order to help him get rid of the trouble of broken love, a sentence from Zhou Tong's sister Zhou Ying suddenly appeared in Li Changshou's mind.

"Do they know something?"

Li Changshou suddenly felt that his life was a failure.

I've lived for almost thirty years, but I don't even know what the real world is like.

If you think about it carefully, what is the difference between living in a bustling metropolis from childhood to adulthood and being a bird locked in a cage all your life?
Outside the city, in the vast nature, there may be stories hidden that are much more exciting than he could imagine.

"Moo moo..."

Just as Li Changshou was wandering in his mind, the cry of a yak suddenly brought him back to reality.

Under the cover of night, a large group of yaks were crossing the road ahead, blocking the way forward.

He looked at the time and realized that it had darkened before he knew it. The vehicle he was riding in had left the desert and entered the Gobi Desert.

“Yo-yo-yo-yo!”

At this moment, behind the herd of yaks, a man on horseback suddenly shouted an incomprehensible slogan.

The herd of yaks seemed to be frightened and suddenly became chaotic.

Even most of the yaks rushed directly along the road towards the off-road vehicles that had stopped to give way.

The driver Xiao Xu's face suddenly changed. He pulled out the pistol hanging on his chest and told Li Zhi, "Mr. Li, lie down first. Don't expose yourself to the herdsman's sight."

"Comrade Xu, what happened? Is there any danger?" Li Changshou hurriedly did as he was told, even lying on the floor on his own initiative to hide his body as much as possible.

"You hide first. Maybe I'm worrying too much." Xiao Xu had no intention of getting out of the car to see if the yaks were really frightened. Instead, he loaded his pistol, as if he was ready to fight at any time.

"Hush!" At this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded among the yak herd.

Then, seven or eight figures suddenly jumped out from under the yak's belly and straddled its back, and all of them held longbows in their hands and shot at the off-road vehicle without hesitation.

"Swish, swish, swish..." Sharp arrows flew towards the vehicle like the god of death in the dark night.

Fortunately, the vehicle they were riding in was not an ordinary civilian off-road vehicle, but a modified military off-road vehicle with certain bulletproof capabilities.

The arrows shot from the longbows did not penetrate the steel plates of the vehicle.

"Headquarters, headquarters, this is 217, calling for support, we are under attack." Xiao Xu did not shoot at those people immediately. Instead, he picked up the walkie-talkie in the car and called for support.

Unfortunately, there was only a crackling sound in the walkie-talkie, as if the signal was interfered with.

At the same time, the group of yaks had crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and surrounded the off-road vehicle. Xiao Xu couldn't even take the opportunity to drive the vehicle away.

It seemed as if the car had been destroyed in the previous round of archery.

Just as Xiao Xu was about to restart the car, a loud crash was suddenly heard outside the car.

"Boom!" The sturdy off-road vehicle was suddenly knocked over by a group of yaks and landed on the Gobi Desert nearby.

What was even more surprising was that after overturning the off-road vehicle, the yaks did not leave, but instead formed an orderly line to surround the off-road vehicle.

"The treasure bestowed by the saint is really useful."

A sturdy man with his face covered with a black scarf riding on the back of a yak laughed after seeing the vehicle overturned.

"Don't waste time, let's get rid of the people in the car first. The thing the saint asked us to find must be with them." The man on horseback said, holding a fluorescent bull horn in his hand.

The entire piece of ox horn was topaz in color, as if it was carved from divine jade, or like a divine horn that had fallen off from some powerful and ferocious beast.

Holding it in your hand, it feels like you have the power to command a herd of cattle.

Inside the SUV, Xiao Xu was not injured. Instead, he unbuckled his seat belt very calmly, glanced at Li Zhi again, and made a gesture to him.

It seems to be saying, run away immediately when the battle starts.

"run!"

Xiao Xu suddenly kicked open the car door, unlocked the trunk, and then shot at the masked men riding yaks.

However, a golden light suddenly appeared in front of the masked men and formed a golden barrier that blocked all the bullets.

Seeing this, Xiao Xu's face changed drastically and he shouted, "You are aliens."

As if to remind Li Changshou, or to call for support, he fired a flare at the same time.

"court death."

Seeing the flare rising into the sky, one of the masked men suddenly waved a golden feather in his hand, and thousands of golden lights immediately turned into sharp blades, flying directly towards Xiao Xu.

Not surprisingly, Xiao Xu was killed by the indestructible blade.

That golden feather looked like a feather that fell from the golden-winged Roc. It possessed a powerful spirituality, and the golden light it emitted was indestructible.

Li Changshou, who had already turned over and climbed into the trunk, originally wanted to wait for them to fight and then escape in the chaos.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xu was killed by the rare treasure in the other party's hand after just one encounter.

Li Changshou quickly lifted the floor of the trunk, then took the jack's crank and wrench in his hands, just in case.

"Stupid, put the holy object away quickly."

At this moment, Li Changshou in the car heard the shouts of the masked men outside.

……

At the same time, hundreds of miles away in Kunlun Mountain, a giant black bull over ten feet tall seemed to sense what was happening here.

"What a waste." Big Black Bull spoke in human language, seeming to be angry at the masked men for using the sacred objects.

"Bull Demon King, didn't you get the thing?" A pair of golden eyes suddenly appeared in the void, as if asking the big black bull through a layer of barrier.

"Those bastards used the holy objects we bestowed upon them when dealing with mortals." Big Black Bull said bluntly.

"Old Cow, is this the person you chose?" At this moment, a mocking voice came from the valley behind the big black cow.

"King Mastiff, stop being sarcastic here. I still have believers at my disposal, but your believers have long been slaughtered by those mortals. Even if you want to find someone to work for you, you won't find one." said Big Black Bull.

"Do you want to fight?" The voice in the valley became sharp.

"You two shut up, now is not the time to be quarreling. Bull Demon King, your followers have messed up things, I think you have to do it yourself next." There seemed to be a flickering will that could not be disobeyed in those golden pupils.

"Sister Jin, the human evolvers haven't set off yet. You want me to go there now, are you asking me to die? My incarnation can't withstand the bombing of human bombs." said Big Black Bull.

"Then why don't you go to the remains of the Queen Mother of the West to find pollen catalysts and quickly elevate your incarnation to the Free and Easy Realm."

"Sister Jin, are you confused? The Kunlun Ruins no longer exist. The Copper Mountain has been mined by mortals who use it as a mine. Even if I bring spiritual fluid to irrigate that sacred place now, the alien soil will not revive."

"These mortals deserve to die." A flash of anger suddenly appeared in the golden pupils.

Although the earth is a place without spiritual energy, it is not a place without the Way. In fact, the Way is so complete that it can give birth to some special terrains.

As long as you pour something rich in spiritual energy into those places, they will temporarily glow with extraordinary vitality and even give birth to some extraordinary things.

As long as those extraordinary things are brought into a blessed place rich in spiritual energy for nurturing before they are covered in dust again, their quality can be guaranteed not to decline.

This is also the reason why the creatures living in the paradise are spying on the earth.

The three creatures that appeared on Kunlun Mountain this time were not extraordinary beings of human origin, but demons.

They are the Mastiff King (Dragon Mastiff), the Bull Demon King (Big Black Bull), and the most powerful Golden Eagle King, who has the blood of the golden-winged Roc flowing in his body.

The holy object fell from the sky, and not only did the three aliens of human origin calculate the secret in advance.

As the three great demon saints in the Kunlun Secret Realm, they also sensed the changes in the destiny.

He even bestowed upon him a spiritual horn that could sense the aura of holy objects, and a golden feather to guard against other strange people.

But now, before they even got the holy object, those believers activated the spiritual horn and golden feather.

This is undoubtedly sending a signal to those extraordinary people who are proficient in the art of sensing Qi.

It's like lighting a candle in a dark room, making their presence immediately visible.

At the same time, on the desert highway, several vehicles that were already traveling at speeds exceeding 200 kilometers per hour accelerated again, heading towards the place where Li Changshou was attacked at a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour.

Li Changshou, who was trapped in the car, also faced the most difficult decision in his life.

Should I fight those masked men, or just hand over all my belongings?
