Acting for the gods

Chapter 42 Lingyun Tiangong
Seeing the red mist coming, everyone ran desperately, but fortunately, they were all elite, orderly in chaos.

When most people passed through the cave, Huo's undead insects had just emerged from the water, and it seemed that the toad's toxin was still somewhat effective.

It could be that the toads were too small, or too few, so it didn't drag on for too long.

Huo's undead worm, also known as the long worm, is a strange creature with reticular nerves, between invertebrates and semi-vertebrates, and has a protective shell similar to "Sun Goddess Conch". The hard shell is its internal secretion. In nature, there are no natural enemies.

Unless it can be eaten whole and completely digested with gastric juices, it can still survive as long as a part of the neural network is left.

In the real world, the reason why Huo's undead worms became extinct is due to the sudden change in the oxygen content in the atmosphere, which makes them unable to adapt to environmental changes.

Of course, there may also be Huo's undead worms in a certain area on the earth, but they have not been discovered.

The Huo's Undead Worm in the Gourd Cave is extremely large. Jiang Fan took the time to look back. There is indeed a huge golden mask on the head of the Huo's Undead Worm, which corresponds to the saying that gold always shines.

Even after thousands of years, the golden mask on the head of Huo's Undead Worm is still golden. It is roughly the same as the golden mask of the high priest offering the king that Jiang Fan saw in the blood jade coffin. Mouth, fishtail-shaped earrings.

It's just that the golden mask on the head of Huo's Undead Worm is even bigger.

Trapped in this burrow, Hoo's undead usually feed on deaddrifts and intruding creatures.

Finally seeing a living person, I wanted to eat it, but Huo's undead worm was poisoned by the toad. Although it couldn't die, its movements slowed down a lot. When it climbed ashore, Jiang Fan and his party had already come from another cave to leave.

Jiang Fan heard a rushing sound from far away, and knew that he was very close to the tomb of King Xian.

The old foreigner carried a big pannier on his back, and stopped after running for a certain distance: "What was that just now? It looks like a giant python."

Hua Ling shook her head: "I ran in a hurry, I didn't see clearly."

"Shouldn't have chased it, it's too big to pass through the narrow cave."

The red girl looked back to make sure that the huge creature was not chasing her, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Fan ran all the way, still breathing steadily, heard a few people talking, and said: "That is a big worm that has lived for thousands of years, don't worry about it for the time being, when I meet it when I go back, I will bomb it with a mortar."

Chen Yulou wiped off the sweat from his forehead and said, "I glanced at it just now. It has a golden mask on it. It is probably the so-called mountain god. It is absurd that a long worm is regarded as a mountain god."

"I'm afraid that the long worm is not that simple. The red mist it spews looks more domineering than the white poisonous miasma in the valley. It may be the source of the miasma in the valley. And those dead drifts seem to have some kind of symbiotic cycle with the long worm relationship, it is better to be careful."

Partridge Whistle's observation skills are good. Although he is not as familiar with the plot direction as Jiang Fan, he can guess the truth based on his own judgment.

However, the red mist is actually non-toxic, and its function is to stabilize people.

It's not that Jiang Fan has nothing to do with Huo's Undead Worm, it's just that it's not the time to do it now, and it won't be too late to deal with it after finding Muchen Bead.

Several people walked and chatted.

At this time, the old foreigner on the side also heard the sound of water: "Brother, there seems to be a waterfall ahead."

"Well, go take a look."

Everyone walked through the narrow stone path and over the steep high slope, only to see a group of large waterfalls in front of them.

In this large basin with three parallel rivers and towering peaks, all the rivers and canals flowing out of the insect valley have turned into large and small waterfalls, rushing into the big pool below, splashing in all directions, and the sound is loud and emerald. Valley.

The huge water flow of the waterfalls arouses endless water vapor. Because of the terrain, the water vapor condenses at the high altitude of the pool, and when it is illuminated by the sun, countless gorgeous rainbows are born.

Jiang Fan looked around and soon discovered where Minglou was.

Partridge Whistle, Chen Yulou and others followed Jiang Fan's gaze and found the palace held in mid-air by countless rainbows.

In the palace, there are towers, halls of sacrifice, stele pavilions, turrets, god walls, and altars all available. Qionglouyuge, resplendent and resplendent, is completely in the style of the Qin and Han Dynasties. The towering and majestic Qin bricks and Han tiles stand in the rainbow water vapor In it, it is like a hallucinatory palace in the sky.

"This King Xian really built the tomb to the sky!"

Chen Yulou sighed slightly, but he also knew that it was only because of the visual effect brought by the water vapor.

The palace in the sky is not built in the sky, but a large-scale Xieshan-style building, built on the vertical surface of the cliff, because it is surrounded by green plants, which makes the palace colorful and makes people suddenly have a feeling of seeing the city in the sky. dreamy feeling.

"Let's go, go and have a look first."

Jiang Fan knew that the real King Xian's Tomb was actually built in the pool below, but people came all the time, so it wouldn't make sense not to take a look.

And unlike Partridge Whistle, Old Foreigner, Hua Ling, and Jiang Fan who were looking for Muchen Beads, Chen Yulou and Luo Xiaoliu came here for artifacts, and they were looking for wealth.

There are many treasures in the palace in the sky, so naturally you won't miss them.

On the opposite side of the canyon is a man-made suspended ancient plank road, which can accommodate several people in parallel.

However, there is a distance of five or six meters from here to the opposite side, and there is no bridge in between.

Jiang Fan can jump over it, but others can't jump that far.

There are a lot of ancient vines around, and it should be possible to swing by grabbing them and borrowing strength, but there are certain risks, not to mention that Xiling Lishi and soldiers are still carrying equipment and ammunition.

Chen Yulou was going to let people take a centipede hanging mountain ladder. To save trouble, Jiang Fan launched the "earth river cart" to connect a stone bridge between the canyons.

That is to say, there are so many people that it is difficult to deal with, otherwise Jiang Fan really doesn't want to go on the same road with Xiling and Luo Laowai, and he has spent a lot of time and effort in taking care of these people along the way.

"The Daoist is a good method!"

Looking at the stone bridge generated out of thin air, Chen Yulou and others couldn't help admiring it, and sighed in their hearts how good it is to know magic.

Everyone crossed the bridge in batches and came to the hanging ancient plank road opposite.

This road leads directly to the Temple of Heaven.

After all, if you want to build a palace on a cliff, you have to dig a tunnel and move up the materials used in the building one by one.

The hardships and dangers are self-evident. It can be said that every section of the road here is carved by the blood, sweat and life of the predecessors!

The power of the whole country is only for self-improvement, which shows how cruel and innocent King Xian is. If such a person can become a fairy, it is really unreasonable.

Following the ancient plank road, at noon, everyone climbed to the top of the mountain.

When they walked closer, everyone found that there were long jade steps under the main hall, with the number of upper and lower stars, a total of 99 steps. Due to the terrain, although the jade steps were wide, they were extremely steep. It extends upwards and leads directly to the gate of the palace.
