Chapter 1016 Blood Altar
Although Leng Baihu is a mortal, he is also aware of all the strange forces and chaos in this world, and he naturally knows a thing or two about formations. He is especially aware that if he accidentally breaks into a vicious formation, he will most likely end up with both body and soul destroyed. .
"Brother Wuchen, what should we... do now?"
After knowing that this was a shocking door, Leng Baihu didn't dare to proceed rashly anymore. In the fierce formation, he might suffer thousands of thunder disasters and be wiped out in the fierce thunder because of one wrong step.
Xiao Chen looked at the depths of the mountains shrouded in smoke. The smoke was formed by miasma, and there must be a dangerous swamp underneath.
Seeing him attentive and silent at this moment, while Xiao Ling'er was calculating something beside him, Leng Baihu looked at Xiao Ling'er again and asked in a low voice, "Sister Ling'er, have you figured out where you were born?"
Obviously, only by breaking through this strange gate armor formation can the entrance to Wuyou Valley be revealed, but breaking through this strange formation is not an easy task.
If you don't pay attention and break into the evil door, it would be fine if all three of them had strong cultivation. But among the three of them, Xiao Chen's cultivation has been completely sealed, Xiao Ling'er himself has no cultivation, except Leng Baihu. Being able to sense changes in the surrounding aura, there is no cultivation at all.
"To the northwest." After thinking for a moment, Xiao Chen said attentively.
"Northwest..." ✷
Xiao Ling'er looked towards the northwest, pinched her fingers and counted a few things, and whispered, "Northwest, the Gate of Purity, Jugenyue, past Duize..." At this point, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen with a smile. He smiled, "Then let's go northwest."
It wasn't until the next day that the three of them passed through the dangerous marshland of "Jingmen". In the evening of that day, they came to a large mountain. They saw the surrounding forests and strange peaks towering. In the dusk, There is an indescribable feeling of splendor.
For some reason, the further they go, the more eerie the feeling surrounding the three people is. Leng Baihu is holding a long sword in his hand, and the sword has an extraordinary light. It can still suppress some of the sinister energy, but it is only strong. courage.
Xiao Ling'er was walking beside Xiao Chen, looking at the dense jungle around her, but she seemed a little scared. As the sky got darker and darker, the surrounding trees became darker and darker, and this sense of forest became heavier and heavier. Any slightest disturbance will make people nervous.
Gradually, the sky got dark, Xiao Ling'er moved closer to Xiao Chen, and unknowingly slowly grabbed his arm, and looked around again, as if she was wary of something, or like a The timid cat clung to his arm tightly.
At this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly stopped. When Xiao Ling'er saw him stopping, she also stopped immediately. She looked around and saw no sign of any trouble. She let go of his hand with some embarrassment, but just then When she was about to walk forward, Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to hold her, and made a silent gesture at the same time.
The wind blew gently, but at this moment, there was an indescribable feeling of silence. Leng Baihu also held his breath, and slowly lowered his raised feet, then squatted down, careful and vigilant. Looking outside the grass.
Xiao Chen pressed Xiao Ling'er's shoulder and motioned for her to squat down too. Just like that, the three of them hid in the grass. Only the evening wind slowly blew past the three of them, bringing with it a slight chill. .
Sure enough, not long after, a gust of wind was heard outside the woods, and then two people seemed to fall from the sky.
Xiao Ling'er's body trembled slightly. It was obvious that at this moment, she had felt the extremely murderous aura of the two people outside.
Leng Baihu could naturally feel the murderous aura getting closer and closer outside, and the two footsteps were getting closer and closer to the grass here.
"There was...the aura of mortals around here just now?"
A slightly cold man's voice was heard outside, followed closely by a cold breath. The two cultivators outside were getting closer and closer to the grass where Xiao Chen and the others were hiding, but now It was dark and the two people couldn't see clearly what was inside.
Leng Baihu had already held his breath, and Xiao Chen already had two more blood-transforming needles in his hand. As long as the two people got closer, he would shoot out the blood-transforming needles without hesitation.
The cultivation level of these two people was not very high, far inferior to the two people on the day they met Xiao Ling'er. They were probably just ordinary disciples of a certain sect, and he was sure to kill one of them with one strike.
"Are you mistaken? How can there be mortals in these deep mountains and wild forests? Unless they ran out of it, but there are a few elders guarding it, and some mere mortals can't escape even with wings..."
At this time, another person's voice was heard in the darkness, but that person was a short, middle-aged man who looked slightly fatter.
The tall and thin man who spoke before looked into the grass for a while, with a look of confusion on his face. "No, you still have to go in and take a look. I just felt that there was a mortal around here. How could his breath disappear so suddenly?" Well, if something unexpected happens, who can afford it..."
"Okay, okay..."
Just as the tall and thin man was about to walk into the grass, the short and fat man behind reached out and caught him. "I think you are suspicious. Go away quickly. Don't delay the business. If you turn around and delay the business, that's you." I can’t bear it.”
After the short and fat man dissuaded him, the tall and thin man finally agreed to leave. After the two of them disappeared without a trace, Xiao Chen and the other two stood up and walked out from the grass.
"Those two just now, who are they..."
Leng Baihu looked at the direction in which the two people left just now, thought for a moment, and murmured to himself, "What did they mean just now when they said that there are several elders guarding them, and those mortals cannot escape with wings..."
"It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's leave here first."
Xiao Chen stared at the direction where the two suspicious people left. As he spoke, he put away the blood-transforming needle. From the words of the two people just now, he obviously heard something. This time, the Worry-Free Valley is probably not as simple as it seems outside, otherwise it would not attract so many cultivators.
At that time, the night had completely covered the surroundings, and it was pitch black. Only the mountains in the distance showed a faint outline.
At this moment, an eagle cry suddenly sounded in the sky. Leng Baihu looked up and saw several hawks hovering above his head. He said, "It seems that they have discovered something again, Brother Wuchen, otherwise... let's go and take a look?"
"Yes."
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. The three of them left the woods and followed the falcon in the sky, moving forward. There were many poisonous insects and ants in the mountains, but Xiao Chen found some herbs that emitted a smell that disgusted those poisonous insects and ants. At night, those poisonous insects and ants dared not approach.
About an hour later, a bright moon slowly rose from the hillside, making the deep mountains finally brighter, not so dark that even the road under his feet could not be seen clearly.
But the further he went, the more Xiao Chen could feel a cold breath. Even in the deep mountains, there should not be such a heavy yin energy. There must be something ahead.
The three of them passed through several dense forests and mountain peaks. At midnight, the moon rose in the sky, illuminating the surrounding area for thousands of miles, making it brighter and clearer.
"I always feel that there is something gloomy ahead..."
After they came to a hillside, the gloomy feeling became even stronger. Leng Baihu shuddered all over. When he was about to move forward, Xiao Chen pulled him back.
"Brother Wuchen...what's wrong?"
Leng Baihu turned around and saw Xiao Chen making a silent gesture, as if he had discovered something here.
Xiao Ling'er also followed, holding Xiao Chen's arm tightly, looking at the other side of the hillside, only to see the smoke below, and whispered, "There is a very strange spiritual power ahead, brother, have you discovered it..."
"Be careful."
Xiao Chen pressed her hand and walked forward carefully. The three of them passed through a patch of grass and came behind a big rock. They could vaguely feel the spiritual power of the formation coming from the bottom of the hillside, but there was a thick fog under the hillside, so the three of them couldn't see what was underneath.
After about half an incense stick, suddenly, a layer of blood light enveloped it. The bright moonlight, at this moment, slowly turned into blood light. Leng Baihu was suddenly startled and looked up. He saw that the bright moon in the sky had gradually turned into a blood moon!
"This..."
Leng Baihu was shocked. He was a mortal. How could he have seen such a blood moon night? How much murderous aura, how much yin energy, and how much hostility would it take to form a blood moon night?
However, looking closely at this time, it was not the bright moon in the sky that turned into a blood moon, but a strange blood light filled the air above the mountain peak.
Even so, the evil spirit around here also increased a lot, especially Xiao Linger, who could feel it more.
At this time, she held Xiao Chen's arm tightly and stared at the bottom of the hill. As the blood light around her became heavier, her heart beat more and more violently. Xiao Chen pressed her shoulder and shook his head, indicating that she didn't need to be afraid.
Xiao Linger turned her head and saw his bright and clear eyes at this time. She couldn't help but be stunned. She recalled the first time she met him in Huangquan Valley. At that time, he looked so cold that no one could get close to him.
Just like the moonlight as cold as ice, it makes people feel cold, but now he has lost his cultivation, but it seems that even the cold moonlight has become gentle. If he is really her brother, it would be great. She doesn't like the brother named Wu Yue in the clan.
Just as she was thinking about it, the layers of strange fog under the hillside began to dissipate. When Leng Baihu saw the situation below, he was stunned and looked incredulous. "That, that is..."
There were strange blood altars under the hillside. The altars were connected by ditches, and the blood flowing in the ditches was actually blood.
There were seven or eight people standing on each altar, and no one knew what they were doing. On the largest altar in the east, there were three old men kneeling on it, as if they were praying devoutly.
"This..."
Seeing such a strange and terrifying scene, Xiao Ling'er felt a chill in her heart. Could it be that those under the altar were all the blood of living people?
Suddenly, she remembered the two cultivators in the woods in the evening, saying that mortals could not escape even if they had wings. Could it be that here... they were actually sacrificing living people!
