Chapter 194 [Surprise, unexpected gunshot]

After listening to Shirley Yang's comfort.

Ah Xiang seemed much calmer and nodded to show that she understood.

But Yang An felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

Asher took away the eyes of the first ghost mother of the Demon Kingdom, and A Xiang became blind soon after. It seems that these two events are related.

Could it be that Ah Xiang is really the reincarnation of the ghost mother?

So if she accepts the memories of the Demonic Kingdom's Ghost Mother, is she still the same Ah Xiang?
Are the whispers that Ah Xiang said true? Has the Demon Country’s Ghost Mother been misunderstood all along? She is not an evil ruler, but a being that fights against the Snake God?

These doubts cannot be answered yet.

We can only take one step at a time.

"Let's go down and have a look."

Yang An called everyone over and prepared to climb down from the top of the tower.

The entire Nine-Layered Demon Tower was frozen in the glacier, and they were right at the top of the Nine-Layered Demon Tower.

The Demon Kingdom is a nation that worships the abyss and caves. According to the description in the book, the glacier crystal corpse should be at the bottom of the demon tower.

"Also, be careful, there may be ghost bugs here."

Yang An supported Shirley Yang.

He let her go down into the passage carved out of the ice and explained the Dap ghost bug.

Hu Bayi had experienced an attack by the Dapu ghost insect. When Yang Anyi reminded him, he immediately remembered the past, nodded, and told Fatty and Chuyi about the danger.

Everyone's physical fitness has been greatly improved and they are now very flexible in their movements.

Soon they passed through the dug passage and went down to the top room of the demon tower.

“This place looks pretty ordinary.”

Inside the narrow top floor.

The fat man jumped down carefully, standing guard with a shotgun in his hand.

No danger was detected.

look around.

As the top of the tower, the space here is naturally narrow and very low.

There was only a strange oval-shaped ice plate in the center, which looked like a crystal stone, emitting a faint halo. There was also a statue of a god carved on the surface, which looked very mysterious.

Shirley Yang was squatting nearby studying.

This is similar to a spirit cover used for blocking. After all, there are no stairs around to go down, but the spirit cover is used to seal the entrance to the next level.

"Wow, this thing looks good. If we can take it back, we will probably get rich." The fat man stared at the exquisite round plate with shining eyes and planned to go up to take a closer look.

"Ahem Fatty, please be careful."

Hu Bayi, who climbed down later, glanced at Shirley Yang who was silent, and said with a frown.

The fat guy is a dog that can't change its eating habits. They are now an archaeological team, but the fat guy is still acting like a tomb robber.

What does it look like.

The fat man followed Hu Bayi's gaze and looked at Shirley Yang. Suddenly he realized something and gave Hu Bayi a look that said "I got it" in an attempt to smooth things over for himself.

"That's what I said. This thing must have great artistic value. Look at my awareness. This thing should be donated to the country, right, Chief of Staff Yang? Don't mind what I said just now. Just treat it as my fart."

The fat man scratched his head embarrassedly. He was now a regular soldier and could no longer act like a bandit.

At this time.

"Don't move the disc."

Yang An, who was the last one to jump in, saw everyone gathered around the ice plate and quickly reminded everyone.

"what happened?"

Hu Bayi was just about to stretch out his gloved hand to touch the silver plate to see whether it was a crystal stone or an ice cube, but he retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted when he heard the words.

It seems that once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years.

“Look at the ripples here.”

Yang An jumped lightly, stood firmly on the ground, and then walked forward.

Pointed to the inside of the huge silver plate.

There is a layer of ripples flowing in the ice tray, which is very beautiful.

"Is this the curse of the demon wolf?"

Shirley Yang reacted, she took out the scripture, read it carefully and said, "It says that there is a demon wolf god guarding the Nine-Layer Demon Tower, named Crystal Free Mountain. Once there is an intruder, it will emit endless disasters and curses."

"curse?"

Hu Bayi and Fatty were now worried about the curse, so they took a few steps back like frightened birds.

I almost hit the first day of the new year.

Chuyi put on his hunting rifle and went forward to observe.

"Yes, this is the terrifying Demon Wolf King. It is the monster guarding this evil demon tower. Anyone who gets close to the Demon Wolf will be devoured in one gulp."

Everyone became cautious now.

Instead, Yang An smiled and comforted everyone.

"Actually, there's no need to worry so much."

"Mr. Yang, what do you mean?" Hu Bayi asked in confusion.

"Remember the White Wolf King? He let out a scream before he died, which triggered a series of chain reactions."

Everyone nodded in unison.

That's easy to say.

The roar of the demon wolf king, the White Wolf, directly caused an earthquake and destroyed half of the Shenluo Glacier.

It also released countless demons and evil spirits from underground.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be a deadly situation with no chance of survival. Everyone is still frightened.

“Sound waves are also sealed in this ice plate,” Yang An went on to explain.

"We are located in the center of the Sea of ​​Disaster, and there are four snow-capped mountains surrounding the glacier. If we accidentally break the ice disk, the surrounding snow-capped mountains will inevitably collapse."

"The thick layer of snow accumulated over thousands of years will eventually turn into a massive avalanche."

"I understand."

Hu Bayi tried to figure out the key points at once, and his face turned pale.

"By then, we will be buried in this nine-layer demon tower, with no way up to the sky or down to the earth. The demon country people are really cruel."

"No wonder there's a hole next to it." The fat man pointed to another big hole dug next door, "I thought those people were stupid at first, but now it seems that they still have some brains."

"Well, just leave it alone."

Yang An concluded with one sentence.

Hu Bayi and the others nodded, and after digging two more layers down, they still did not find anything dangerous or strange.

A large number of funerary objects were placed on these two layers.

It was not gold, silver or jewellery in the true sense, but piles of bull heads piled up into small hills and shaped like Mani piles.

The bull's head had already decayed into bones, and it was pointed at Yang An and the others. There were shadows in its empty eye sockets, which made people feel a little scared.

These are all yak heads. Yaks are absolute treasures on the snowfield. From ancient times to the present, this thing has never changed despite the vicissitudes of life.

"Keep going down, we don't have time to rest, hurry up." After Yang An finished reading, he calmly ordered everyone to continue digging down.

However, Hu Bayi seemed to be a little worried that these yaks would emit those dark green ghost lights again and attack everyone.

After thinking about it, he summoned ice from the top of the tower and froze all the white cow skulls.

Everyone had a good rest in the previous few days, so no one felt tired or exhausted at this moment, and they continued to move forward with full enthusiasm.

The fat man muttered that this was the first time he enjoyed the good fortune of 'those who planted trees will enjoy the shade'.

You don't even need to dig, just go down through the already dug passage.

Yang An paid special attention to Ah Xiang's expression.

There was nothing unusual about Ah Xiang. Her perception of everything around her now came from her senses other than vision and the descriptions of others.

"A Xiang, if you feel uncomfortable or hear any noise, tell me immediately."

"Yeah, I understand Brother Yang."

"Don't worry, Xiang. Your eyesight will recover soon."

Listen to Yang An's comforting words.

Ah Xiang then forced a smile and nodded, but her expression looked somewhat lonely.

Yang An told the story of Asher.

But I skipped the strange Uncle Ming and his group who were among the living dead. I was worried that Ah Xiang would be frightened after hearing this.

But Ah Xiang was smart and seemed to understand something from the lines.

Poor child, he was used as a test subject by his parents since he was young. When he grew up, his parents died, and he became an orphan. He was then spotted and used by tomb robbers like Uncle Ming.

I hope this matter can be resolved perfectly, so that this poor girl Ah Xiang can have a happy second half of her life.

Yang An was thinking to himself that everyone had already gone down to the fourth floor.

The place is filled with large ghost flags with complex patterns and different colors, which look quite creepy.

As soon as everyone got down, they felt a little nervous.

"This ghost thing reminds me of the human skin ghosts hanging in the side hall when we were in the Heavenly Palace of King Xian's Tomb."

Hu Bayi felt a palpitation in his heart, frowned and said to Yang An, "Little Master Yang, what do you think?"

Yang An looked closely at the five-colored banners in front of him.

There are five colors in total: black, white, red, green and blue, among which black is the most common and blue is the least.

Shirley Yang explained softly, "The colors of these banners have different meanings. The Samsara Sect has mentioned this in its records of the Demon Kingdom. The black one represents the abyss, which is the ghost cave we saw in Mount Zagrama."

"The power of the Demonic Kingdom's Ghost Mother comes from the Ghost Cave, so she naturally worships the Ghost Cave."

"They must have been to Mount Zagrama, but I don't know why they made the long journey to here."

"Maybe he ran away and came here like a lost dog." The fat man continued.

Yang An thought about it and thought, let alone, it is possible that the fat guy said it by accident.

According to the description in the book, the ancestors of the Demon Kingdom climbed down the ghost cave and used some method to obtain the remains of the snake god, which is the Zhuchen Pearl.

To put it simply, this thing is the tumor growing on the heads of those black snakes.

Thinking this way, the snake god might look similar to the black snake encountered in the ancient city of Jingjue.

Secretly destroying someone's body and taking away their eyeballs.

Not to mention gods, even humans would be furious.

Perhaps the Guidong people fled the Zaglama Mountain in panic and finally settled down in the Kunlun Mountains.

But how did the ancestors of the Demon Kingdom obtain the power of gods?
Seeing that everyone was upset because of these ghost flags.

Yang An simply used the holy flame to burn these ghost flags directly, and sure enough, billowing black fog emerged from them. Unlike the burning black smoke, this black fog was mixed with weirdness and evil.

Wait until all the ghost flags around are swept away.

Everyone's mood suddenly became brighter and calmer. The fat man gave a thumbs up and praised Young Master Yang for doing a great job.

Then everyone continued to go down.

Next level.

Filled with pebbles with different markings carved on them.

Shirley Yang thinks these are scripture stones, that is, stones engraved with scriptures, which are of great archaeological significance and research value.

Yang An put away all his troops.

Save them and donate them to the University of Tokyo Museum in the future. After all, they are here to do archaeology, so just leave these useless stones to the archaeological community.

Perhaps after further research, the archaeological community will be able to discover traces of an ancient civilization, just like Sanxingdui.

This is how it goes all the way.

Most of them are antiques and cultural relics, all in tatters and piled up around.

Everyone's tense nerves relaxed a lot.

Until the eighth floor, when there was still one floor away from the bottom of the Demon Tower.

"Wait a moment." Yang An called out to Wang Kaixuan.

"What's wrong, Master Yang?"

The fat guy volunteered to be the first to go down. He was looking down with his big butt sticking out, which was quite funny.

"There are some corpses down there, Fatty, please be careful." Yang An instructed.

"Oh, just some dead bodies."

The fat man was very brave and was not afraid of the corpses at all. "As long as they are not big dumplings, it's fine."

"It shouldn't be a big dumpling."

"That's fine. I'll go down and take a look first."

After the fat man quickly went down the rope to the eighth floor, he scanned the area with the searchlight on his head.

There are many people around.

"Damn, there really is a pile of corpses." The fat man saw male corpses wearing the costumes of the Demon Country standing around. They were sitting around the tower with their eyes closed.

He was much taller than an ordinary person, and when he sat he was as tall as a person standing. Just like the ox-headed skeleton he had encountered before, he stared at the center.

It looks very scary.

At the same time, the fat man saw the Snow Eagle standing on a crystal stone plate on the iceberg in the center.

The two looked at each other.

"Young Master Yang?" the fat man asked tentatively.

"Well, it's me."

As he said that, Yang An jumped down from behind the fat man.

The Snow Eagle also disappeared in an instant.

The next level is the ninth level.

There are Dap ghost bugs.

Yang An was afraid of alarming the ghost insects, so he didn't go any further.

It seems safe here.

Hu Bayi and others came down one after another.

When it came to Ah Xiang at the end.

However, her expression changed slightly, her body swayed, and she groaned.

"what happened?"

Feeling something strange all of a sudden, Yang An flashed over to Ah Xiang’s side and reached out to hold her phantom wrist.

By granting abilities to others, Yang An can also control these abilities at any time.

Ah Xiang's spirit became a physical body again. Her face was pale, and the white cloth covering her eyes suddenly turned red, with blood dripping from it.
"I saw so many things. They were urging me to hurry up."

Ah Xiang was trembling all over and hid in Yang An's arms, as if this could give her some sense of security.

"Don't be anxious, speak slowly."

Yang An frowned and patted Ah Xiang's shoulder.

Some of the power of will was passed on, and this pure energy nourished Ah Xiang's weak body.

"I saw a lot of women without eyeballs. They were down there. They called me and asked me to go find them," Ah Xiang said intermittently.

At the same time, her body trembled and she was about to faint.

At the same time, the nineteen male corpses around also moved.

Yang An’s incarnation had just checked and found out that these were just corpses, but now, they were slowly moving their stiff bodies.

He stood up to be more than three meters tall, pressing against the ceiling, and stretched out his palm-sized hands, ready to grab the people around him.

times of crisis.

Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi and Fatty reacted quickly.

Fighting with these male corpses that suddenly moved.

Holy flame, ice spikes, water binding!

These male corpses wearing masks with pitch-black fangs look tall and brave, but they are surprisingly easy to deal with.

at this time.

"Oh!"

A gunshot echoed in the narrow space.

Everyone was stunned. Yang An had told them not to use guns before they came down to avoid triggering an avalanche.

who is it?

When everyone looked back, it was Ah Xiang. She took a few steps back and faced everyone alone.

Yang An stood there, with blood faintly flowing from his waist.

"A Xiang?! What are you doing!?"
