Chapter 524

Seeing the captain's eyes shining, Xu Qing was about to nod, but at this moment, a cold snort came from the two of them.

"What's the fun? And when did I become an old man?"

Xu Qing took a breath, and the captain's expression also changed, and the two instinctively looked towards the place where the familiar voice came from.

The nothingness distorted there, and the figure of the master was revealed.

"This is the second lesson for you. Sometimes, what you see with your eyes may not be true. You have to leave a certain range in the future to discuss things."

Seventh Master opened his mouth lightly.

Xu Qing bowed his head and didn't speak, the captain was crying. He didn't expect the master to leave, but ended up hiding aside.

"Okay, I just remembered that the fourth brother's cultivation base is about to break through, so I came back and reminded me."

"Fourth, it's not difficult for you to break through the golden core to the Nascent Soul realm, but in the process of cultivating the realm of Destiny Nascent Soul, it will attract five times of Destiny Tribulation, and each time you experience it, you will be much stronger."

Xu Qing nodded, he knew this before.

"However, in the realm of Yuanying, the increase in combat power is only incidental. The key point is to rely on the Heavenly Tribulation to accumulate enough destiny, which will be related to the future spiritual treasure."

"Based on my experience as a teacher, if multiple Nascent Souls are deployed together during each catastrophe, although the catastrophe will be extremely powerful, once it succeeds, you will get a lot of destiny."

"So in this forbidden place of immortals, if you have good fortune, don't rush to attract the catastrophe. Specifically, I will talk to you later."

Qi Ye gave some instructions, glared at the captain, turned around and disappeared.

Xu Qing was thoughtful, these contents were something he didn't know before.

At this moment when he was deep in thought, the team leader blinked, and pulled Xu Qing away at a high speed, and he was relieved only after walking a long way.

"Master is very kind to us, little Ah Qing, I feel that I have gained more enlightenment in this class."

"I feel the same way."

Xu Qing glanced at the captain, deeply convinced.

"Master's love, we cannot repay in this life."

"So we have to work harder to protect Master in the future!" Xu Qing said solemnly.

"That's right, Junior Brother, we should aim for this!" The captain said with a bright face as he walked with Xu Qing.

Until several hours passed, they looked at each other.

"Shouldn't you be here?"

"Almost..." Xu Qing looked around.

"This old man is elusive!" The captain smiled wryly, then spoke in a low voice.

"Let's go, let's go to the place I said before, there must be something good there!"

After speaking, the two left quickly.

In this way, time slowly passed.

Three days have passed since the Immortal Forbidden Land opened.

During these three days, the first batch of monks of tens of thousands of people who arrived had already opened up a safe area with a radius of thousands of miles.

Compared with the entire Immortal Forbidden Land, this area is like a drop in the ocean, inconspicuous, even in the Eastern District, it occupies less than one out of a hundred.

It is really too big for this Immortal Forbidden Land, which was formerly known as the Xuanyou Ancient Emperor's 36 Palaces.

This is also understandable, after all, each palace of Xuanyou Ancient Emperor is actually a small world.

And because the gods are sleeping, this place has not been fully developed since ancient times. There are countless rare treasures, as well as many ancient books, and even part of the human race's heritage may exist.

Even if it is invaded by heterogeneity, it is not without usable things.

Especially in today's Wanggu Continent, the research on heterogeneity has been very deep, and it also has some methods to dispel heterogeneity, such as various methods of expelling heterogeneity from taboo magic weapons, that's it.

Therefore, the imperial capital naturally attaches great importance to this forbidden land, and it cannot be fully developed in a short time.

According to the plan, the Immortal Forbidden Land will continue to be excavated for several months, until it finally eats up the surrounding area and pushes it step by step into the imperial palace in the center.

Of course, the premise of all this is that there are no gods here.

At this moment, the captain and Xu Qing were resting on the top of a tall palace, a hundred miles away from the safe area.

In three days, they searched many places in the outside world and gained some results. At the same time, they saw many palaces in the process of dissipating. It seems that the reason is that the closed environment here was broken.

As for the danger, there are many encounters.

For example, the good thing the captain said before is actually a huge statue that was invaded by the heterogeneity of this place and dissipated, leaving only the head.

The statue came to life when the two approached.

Extremely dangerous, close to death.

Fortunately, the concealment given by Qi Ye had a good effect, and the two avoided it in a panic.

After this incident, the captain sighed again and again, the feeling of seeing the fat but not being able to get it, made the captain's eyes more and more red.

Then along the way, they tossed and turned several times, advancing and retreating, until finally, they saw a special palace, but they couldn't enter it.

So after many failed attempts, the two of them rested on the relatively safe roof ten miles away from that palace.

The captain was still gritting his teeth, various thoughts turning in his mind.

"Little Aqing, this place is too big, and we have too little information, but I think there must be treasures in that palace, otherwise it would be impossible for there to be four statues parasitized by flesh and blood guarding them."

When the captain's words came out, Xu Qing was looking at the area opened up by the human army in the distance.

The heterogeneity in that area has been driven away, and it is isolated by a hood composed of formations. Looking around, in the dark world, the only bright light here shines in the distance.

Although the surrounding edges are covered with heterogeneity, and it is difficult to keep the cover for a long time, but it is still possible for a short time.

Through the mask, you can see that there are a lot of buildings built in it, which look a little strange, triangular in shape, and the whole body is made of spirit stones, like towers, emitting bursts of shocking waves, and there is an invisible relationship between each other. connect.

It looks like a huge magic circle.

I could see small teams going in and out from time to time, and those were teams like Xu Qing and the captain who went out to take over the investigation mission.

In addition, the items in the palace within a thousand miles have been removed, and the shape has also been transformed, turning it into a part of the formation.

Compared with these, the most astonishing thing is that there are nine mountain-like white crystals floating in the sky.

These nine crystals were brought by the Blood Nightmare Marshal. They were not so big in the first place, but they became more and more amazing in the past three days.

It floats in mid-air, like nine black holes, absorbing foreign matter.

To be precise, it is not absorption, but filtration.

The heterogeneity is sucked in, integrated into it, and then dissipated.

As this process repeated itself, some golden threads were faintly formed inside the white spar.

"Absorbing the gods that are dissociated in the heterogeneity?"

Xu Qing was thoughtful.

He didn't know the final use direction of these nine mountain-like spars, but judging from the expanded cognition given to him by his master, this object might also be prepared for the frontline war.

"Don't look at that, it has nothing to do with us, little Ah Qing, I have an idea!" The captain suddenly sat up, pulled Xu Qing, and said in a low voice.

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze from the distance, and turned to look at the captain.

"Are you still thinking about that hall?"

"Of course, in the few palaces we have seen these days, the ones without guards are all rubbish. The one statue is okay, but the one guarded by four statues is only one!"

"Although it's nothing compared to the sleeping gods, since we're here, why don't we get some good things ourselves?"

The captain licked his lips, madness appeared in his eyes.

Xu Qing's mind came to the special palace that the captain missed. In each of the four corners, there was a statue parasitized by flesh and blood. They were all alive, and only a small part of them disappeared.

The fluctuations emanating from it are astonishing.

As for the palace guarded by them, the shape is also different, not the appearance of a normal palace, but square.

Xu Qing remembered that there were countless finger-thick ventilation holes on the roof.

Those small holes are very strange, not wrapped in flesh and blood, obviously avoided.

As for what's inside the square hall, Xu Qing didn't know, and the shadow couldn't get close to it. Xu Qing tried, but the hall blocked all investigations.

"Actually, when Hongyue wakes up and the sleeping gods here are devoured, it will be much easier to get in there. Must it be now?" Xu Qing looked at the captain.

"At that time, there were more people looking for it. Even if we got it, we couldn't keep it, and most of the palaces here began to decay and dissipate. I'm afraid we won't be able to wait. In addition, Xiao Qing, according to my intuition, the treasure there is amazing!"

The captain licked his lips.

"Little Aqing, my plan is very simple. Let's go again later. Like last time, you absorb the surrounding heterogeneity there and attract the attention of the statues. After the four statues leave, I'll go in and get things! "

"Didn't you not open the door last time?"

Xu Qing asked, in fact, they have used this method before, Xu Qing is taking a huge risk here, but the captain is not strong enough to open the door.

"It's different this time, I have a way, at worst I'll fight it once!"

The captain's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth.

Xu Qing pondered, seeing that the captain was extremely persistent, so he nodded.

"Up to thirty breaths."

"No problem!" The captain cheered up and pulled Xu Qing to rush over. Xu Qing took a deep breath and simply stopped resting. He was also very curious about the things in that special palace.

Just like that, the two quickly left the roof and galloped into the distance.

Hidden all the way, after a stick of incense, a black square palace appeared in their eyes.

Looking at the statues of flesh and blood standing at the four corners of the palace, feeling the terrifying fluctuations from them, Xu Qing and the captain breathed a lot less. After looking at each other, they split up and acted.

Xu Qing rushed out quickly, part of the suppressed absorption force in his body dispersed, and immediately the foreign matter around him came straight to him, pouring into his body along the pores of his body.

The feeling of extreme comfort makes people obsessed, as if the soul is about to float, and the continuous strength from the body makes people instinctively not want to reject it.

Those who are not determined can easily immerse themselves in it for a moment and ignore everything.

Xu Qing also used a lot of perseverance to maintain his calm.

At this moment, with the absorption, the golden thread in his body was trembling, exuding a strong desire, stretching continuously, even Xu Qing felt that his body seemed to have grown a little bit bigger.

At the same time, the statues outside the black square palace raised their heads one after another, their facial features were distorted on their faces covered in blood and flesh, and their eyes were ignited with red lights.

The next moment, they moved at the same time.

Xu Qing noticed something, his heart trembled, he took out the mask given by the master and held it in his hand, while galloping to absorb it, while counting the time silently, it was more than ten breaths, a sense of imminent disaster fell from the sky.

When the crisis of life and death broke out violently at this moment, Xu Qing did not hesitate, and immediately put the mask given by the master on his face, burrowed into the ground paved with flesh and blood, and remained motionless.

As soon as his face tightened, all traces of him were covered.

In the next moment, the roar reverberated, and four terrifying fluctuations spread here, as if searching instinctively.

However, after Xu Qing puts on the mask, as long as he does not move, he can maintain a high-intensity concealment state, so in the perception of the four statues that only have instinct, Xu Qing does not exist.

In fact, he and the captain had also tried it before, and found that if they were wearing a mask to move, it was fine at a long distance, but if they were at a close distance, the four statues could still be vaguely sensed.

This point is quite different from the statues they encountered in the few palaces they visited before, which also shows the specialness of this black square palace.

"I hope the captain can succeed."

While Xu Qing was muttering in his heart, the captain was galloping crazily. Taking advantage of the statue being attracted away, he headed straight for the black hall at an astonishing speed.

This time, the captain didn't try to open the door, but approached and went straight to the top of the hall filled with countless small holes. When he arrived, he didn't hesitate at all, with madness in his eyes, his body shook violently.

Its body disintegrates incomparably strangely, turning into thousands of finger-sized strips of meat, which are drilled in along those small ventilation holes.

These small ventilation holes are obviously impossible to be so simple. There is a terrifying restraining power in them. In an instant, a large number of meat strips collapse directly.

The remaining ones, as the front end squirmed, turned into the captain's face, like worms with human faces, opening their mouths and biting continuously, trying to break through the restriction.

But the restriction here is too strong, and soon the captain's meat strips collapsed by as much as [-]%. When there were less than thirty pieces left, every worm spit out a piece of incomplete order filled with ancient breath. Card.

It is the order of Daogu Fengzheng.

A faint yellow glow emanated from it, causing the body structure of these more than 30 human-faced worms to change, showing the luster of crystals. When they were shining brightly, although more than half of them collapsed, four of them managed to get in after all.

After falling down through the small hole in the main hall, they saw everything here.

There is only one thing in the entire hall, which is placed in the middle.

It was empty all around.

This thing is a severed hand that was cut off from the lower arm.

It is a hundred feet in size.

As for the severed place, a huge sarcoid piled up as if flesh and blood proliferated there, surrounded by countless tentacles, swaying.

As for the five fingers of the palm, they are stretched at the moment, and one can see a big ferocious mouth in the palm, with countless sharp thorns intertwined.

"What is this stuff!"

In the main hall, the captain's exclamation came from the mouths of the four crystal worms, and then the four crystal worms quickly fused together and turned into a crystal villain.

It is the figure of the captain.

But the face is not the captain, but a human skin mask that reveals ferocity and greed.

Without the slightest hesitation, he opened his mouth suddenly and unfolded the Tengu Immortal Art.

In the next moment, a huge dog's head appeared in the hall, with endless greed, it suddenly swallowed the severed hand, and directly swallowed the severed hand into its mouth.

Then the crystal villain separated again, turned into four worms, went straight to the small hole above, and crazily drilled out from the inside, but at this moment, thirty breaths had passed.

The four statues that Xu Qing failed to find have been rushed back.

Under the coercion, the restriction of the black palace seemed to be strengthened a bit.

The more the captain drilled and climbed, the more difficult it was, and finally he was stuck in the restraint in the small hole, unable to go up and down, and with the outbreak of the restraint, the destructive force shrouded him, and he suddenly became anxious.

But at this moment, there was another wave of absorbing heterogeneity in the distance, and the four statues shook violently, turning back quickly, and the captain took the opportunity to rush forward while the roar reverberated.

The four crystal worms finally got out, gathered into a villain, and galloped forward to escape.

After a stick of incense, everything returned to normal here, and the four statues returned and stood in the distance again, motionless.

And at the place agreed by Xu Qing and the team leader, Xu Qing squatted there in a mess, spitting blood and feeling lingering fear.

Seeing that the captain hadn't returned before, he knew something was wrong, so he gritted his teeth and attracted the statues again. Although he hid in time, he could attract the statues one after another, making them go berserk and bombard all directions.

Although Xu Qing avoided it, it was still affected.

At this moment when his heart was palpitating, Xu Qing turned his head suddenly, saw a small crystal figure approaching quickly, and noticed the captain's face on it.

Without waiting for Xu Qing to inquire, the captain's body swayed, and he grew up rapidly, and soon turned into an ordinary person, but his face was pale and his whole body was extremely weak, and he lay on the ground directly, panting, but his eyes were full of excitement.

"It's a good thing I have a seal, otherwise this time it would be over, but... it's worth it!"

Seeing that the captain was fine, Xu Qing also heaved a sigh of relief.

"what is inside?"

"I don't know what it is, but I think it's a big baby." Panting heavily, the captain proudly took out the human skin mask, put it on his face and transformed into a greedy tengu, and spat out.

While Tengu's throat was wriggling, a large amount of saliva spilled out, and a broken hand was spit out and fell to the ground.

Before Xu Qing could take a closer look, the big mouth in the severed palm suddenly opened, and he swallowed directly towards the nearest captain.

The figure of the captain was swallowed up in an instant.

All this was too fast, Xu Qing's complexion changed, and the dagger in his right hand appeared, and he threw it at the severed hand in an instant.

But his omnipotent dagger had no effect this time. Not only could it not cut the palm, but the counter-shock force from it made Xu Qing's body tremble and he had to back up.

His eyes were gloomy, and he immediately launched the poisonous path in his body, and was about to attack the palm, but at this moment, the five fingers of the palm suddenly shone with light of different colors, and there was a crackling sound as they flowed among each other. .

And these multicolored lights flowed from the fingers to the arms, until they gathered on the proliferated fleshy ball, making it full of brilliance, and then returned to the five fingers.

Immediately afterwards, five bands of light emanated from the five fingers, floating in mid-air and circling each other rapidly, outlining a heart shape.

Xu Qing's eyes froze.

It didn't end, the five bands of light seemed to be weaving, under Xu Qing's dumbfounded, that is, within three to five breaths, a colorful peach actually appeared in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, the light from the fingers dissipated and turned back to normal. The palm opened its mouth wide and spat out, and the captain's body was spat out.

"Treasure! Little Aqing, come and eat!"

After the captain climbed up, he looked at the peach floating in mid-air, his expression extremely excited, and after he let out an exclamation, he rushed forward and bit the peach.

Xu Qing hesitated, but did not move.

And the peach was shaken at this moment, the brilliance on it was dim, under the captain's bite, it collapsed and turned into a black water on the ground, emitting a rancid smell, which fell into the captain's mouth.

The captain's complexion changed, and he retched immediately, with disbelief and bewilderment on his face.

"How did this happen? Damn it, this thing is a lie. Ask me what I want, and I say I want a peach that will revive the spirit after eating it."

Xu Qing looked strange, looked at the black water all over the floor, then at the palm, and finally his eyes fell on the captain who was in a state of despair.

"Captain, what's going on?"

"Little Aqing, I was cheated!" The captain gritted his teeth.

"After this thing swallowed me, there was a voice inside, asking me what I wanted to make, saying that it could use life force to create all things. After I said it, it made such a piece of garbage."

The captain became more and more annoyed as he talked, he went up and kicked the severed hand, but he was still not relieved, so he simply opened his mouth and bit it hard.

Under this bite, he screamed, Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, he saw the scene of the captain's teeth collapsing, and took a deep breath.

"How hard!!"

The captain also opened his eyes wide and looked at the severed hand. There was only a tooth mark on it, and the skin was not broken.

"It can make my teeth crack. This thing is not easy. Could it be that I used it wrongly. Little Aqing, go and try it."

Xu Qing thoughtfully, walked up to have a look, raised his hand and pressed on the big mouth in the palm of the severed hand, the next moment the big mouth opened, a huge suction came out, Xu Qing didn't dodge, let the suction cover, was swallowed down.

After a while, the light from the five fingers of the palm shone again, and colorful light belts flew out and began to weave. Soon a mirror appeared in midair.

It is a taboo magic weapon with seven blood pupils.

Whether it is appearance or breath, it is extremely real.

The captain saw this scene with anticipation in his eyes, and at this moment the palm of the severed hand opened wide, and Xu Qing's body was spit out. The moment he appeared, he immediately looked up at the mirror in mid-air.

After he was swallowed before, he appeared in a bloody space, and a calm voice came from his ear, telling him that he could use his vitality to create all things.

So Xu Qing created this mirror, and at the same time found that his life had not been sucked away, as if the severed hand had been damaged and lost the ability to absorb it.

Looking at the mirror at this moment, Xu Qing raised his hand to grab it, and the mirror came to him, and the moment he touched it, it turned into black water and spilled all over the ground.

Xu Qing frowned, and the captain sighed.

"Liar, this time I lost money!"

"Eldest brother, you said that this severed hand can be placed in that great hall. Could it be... really able to create all things in the era of the Xuanyou Ancient Emperor?"

The captain thought for a while, then nodded.

"It should have been too long, it was severely attacked, so it was broken, but if this is the case, this thing is indeed a treasure, no, I have to try again."

As the captain said, he immediately approached the severed hand, was swallowed many times, and tried again and again. There were all kinds of items made, even mundane items, but none of them could be really used, and they all turned into black water.

Xu Qing also tried a few times, and it was the same.

However, the two of them have figured out another way to use the palm after many experiments, that is, after parasitizing it, if they don't create objects, they can use it as a shelter.

Its sturdiness is astonishing. The two explored it and finally came to a judgment.

"This solidity has reached the level of returning to the void!"

The captain took another bite, very sure.

Xu Qing nodded and spoke in a low voice.

"The material of this thing is not like flesh and blood, but more like a specially made utensil. It is very suitable as a shield."

The captain's eyes brightened again, and he finally regained some balance in his heart, feeling that this time he didn't lose.

"Haha, this thing serves as our senior brother's shield, and Ning Yan serves as a meteor hammer, perfect!"

"Let's go, little brother, let's hold this hand and go to other places."

Xu Qing also felt that using this thing as a shield, coupled with the concealment of the two, was very suitable for this place.

So soon, in the mist of this Immortal Forbidden Land, one could see a hundred-foot severed hand, speeding forward on the ground.

The five fingers of the severed hand had already been pushed and bent by Xu Qing and the captain with all their strength, and they even lifted them to the ground to smash them, and finally bent them into fists.

In this way, wearing the cover on the body gave Xu Qing and the captain a sufficient sense of security.

In this way, time passed, and in the follow-up exploration of the two, the fourth day came.

The human race legion here has opened the evacuation channel, not mandatory, everything is voluntary.

Some left, some chose to stay and continue to explore, and on the night of the fourth day, the second batch of people from the Human Race Legion came here.

The second batch of people who descended were mainly the army of the imperial capital, and there were more people in black robes among them. After they arrived, they quickly dispersed and penetrated into the unknown area of ​​the Immortal Forbidden City.

Xu Qing, who was almost five hundred miles away from the safe zone of the human race, did not see all of this.

But they are not too far away after all. Although invisible to the naked eye, the signal tower built in the safe area can still transmit some announcements to the command sword within a certain range.

At this moment, with the shaking of the sword, Xu Qing and the captain knew about the arrival of the second batch of descendants, and also knew that three days later, there would be a third batch of descendants.

At the same time, that night, the sky in the Immortal Forbidden Land had a strange light red color.

is slowly spreading.

A strong palpitation kept rising in Xu Qing's mind.

There is also a warning from heaven, which is strongly conveyed in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Eldest brother, we have to hurry up. I have a feeling that Hongyue... is about to wake up. It should be the time when the third batch of descendants will arrive in three days." Xu Qing squatted in the severed hand and spoke solemnly.

The captain squatted aside, nodded when he heard the words, then pointed to the front, and whispered the words.

"Little brother, look there. I didn't pay much attention to it before, but I just found out that there is such a place here."

Xu Qing turned his head and looked, it was a group of palaces surrounded by walls of flesh and blood.

"You can see that they are still intact. They are different from what we have encountered before, and they have not begun to dissipate and decay. Although covered with flesh and blood, it looks like the palace is in the shape of a phoenix bird. Could it be that a certain harem empress of Xuanyou ancient emperor once The palace where it is."

"Female nuns generally like to be clean and like to take a bath. If this is really a harem, do you think there will be a place similar to the Immortal Pond there? Will there be some clothes like those in Youjing? Jewelry or something..."

"There are also some decorations. Generally, where female cultivators live, there must be a lot of these gadgets. Don't you think you are a ghost, they are all treasures."

The captain was breathing heavily and his eyes were glistening.

"Besides, this is the East District. I don't read much, so I don't know it very well, but I think it's not easy for an old girl who lives in the East Palace!"

Xu Qing's eyes were fixed when he heard the words, but at this moment, the dry cough of the ancestor of the Vajra Sect came from his mind.

"Master, that... According to the Gongdou storybook I read, it seems that most of the people who live in the East Palace are empress dowagers, princes, and princesses..."
