Chapter 22: The Mysterious Burial Ground
Xiao Gu and Tan Tian stared blankly at the sudden appearance of a vast desert in front of them.
The lush and verdant mountains, everywhere is forest, everywhere is grass, in the midst of continuous mountains suddenly appears a not small desert land, this is really too strange.
Undulating mountains, lush vegetation, surround the golden desert in the center, looking incredibly eerie! Obviously a thriving green forest area, how can there be a hundred-mile-wide desert?
The desert was surrounded by a layer of eerie black fog, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
All the way forward, Xiao Gu and Tian Tian cautiously advanced.
The eerie desert, no matter how you look at it, seems out of place with the distant green mountains and valleys, even if something unusual happens, it won't make people feel strange.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly and safely along the way, although there were some close calls, but no danger occurred, which made Xiao Gu let out a sigh of relief at the same time, his heart also hung up again.
Suddenly, the black fog completely disappeared, making Xiao Gu and Lao Wang Ba very unaccustomed to it, until a moment later, they came to their senses.
Before his eyes, a vast expanse of white bones stretched out, rendering him immobile. Human skulls, giant bird skeletons, ferocious beast remains, dragon-shaped fossils... all lay before him like endless snow. The skeletal remains ranged from one or two meters to fifty or sixty meters in length, and some were even over a hundred meters long! Endless white bone frameworks covered the ground.
A chill of malevolent energy permeates this sea of bones, evoking a shudder that originates from the very soul. The scene before one's eyes is so unbelievable, it fills one with deep-seated terror!
This is, Xiao Gu's hair stood on end, what kind of place is this, it's actually so terrifying, making one's heart extremely uneasy.
Even at this moment, it is high noon, but in this bone sea, it is extremely cold and gloomy. The sunlight that falls down is a bleak white, without any warmth to speak of. There is not a single sound on the bone ground, dead silence all around, this is truly a deathly bone sea!
This is a realm of the dead, and those who are still alive tremble all over when they enter.
The ancient trees behind him, although lush and dense, were equally dead silent, without a single rustle of wind, making them appear eerily abnormal. Coupled with the distant mist-shrouded mountains, this region was unspeakably terrifying!
"How can there be such a place..."
Lao Wang Ba was very uneasy and didn't know what he was muttering to himself, but he had rarely quieted down like this. Obviously, he too was shocked.
Not far from here, there is a dilapidated palace, with a musty smell wafting through the air, making Xiao Gu's whole body feel cold.
Those ruins, I don't know how long they have been left here, the beams have completely collapsed, only leaving behind broken walls and rubble. What's frightening is that among the broken walls, there are actually white bones sticking out, as if they were buried alive.
At the same time, Xiao Gu noticed that in the deepest part of the palace, there seemed to be another tall temple that had not collapsed.
That mysterious palace gave him a chill that came from his soul, as if some kind of evil power was affecting his mind.
"Let's go and take a look!" Xiao Gu made this decision, anyway they had already entered the sea of bones, there was nothing to be afraid of, they must investigate thoroughly.
And yet, after all this time, although it was a bit frightening, nothing substantial had happened to put Xiao Gu at ease.
Endless skeletons covered the ground, and with each step, they made a "creaking" sound that sent shivers down one's spine.
It's also unknown how many years have passed, and many white bones have already weathered and shattered. A thick layer of snow-white bone powder has accumulated on the ground, making the endless wreckage even more terrifying!
Perhaps the outer periphery is indeed a desert, but it has already become a Gobi Desert here!
Nor do I know how many powerful beings fell here, such a thick layer of bone powder, countless dead souls, most importantly, looking at the body shape of these beast bones, it is absolutely unimaginable existence!
Something strange has happened, causing so many powerful warriors to fall, this is a bizarre burial ground!
Here, every inch of land is white, with no vegetation to speak of. Wave after wave of eerie energy wafts through the barren earth, growing thicker as one ventures deeper, until a faint black mist emerges from the white bone ground, making this deathly bone sea eerily terrifying to the extreme.
Xiao Gu felt a little guilty, and even the usually arrogant and bold Tian was nervous, such a strange place, unheard of.
After advancing for a few li, they gradually arrived at the vicinity of the dilapidated palace. Upon reaching this place, Xiao Gu stopped in his tracks.
It's not because of fear that he stopped in his tracks, but because after arriving here, the black fog that suddenly surged up again seemed to have materialized into a tangible substance, forming whirlpools of energy among the white bones. Xiaogu threw a piece of white bone forward, and in an instant it was torn apart and pulverized!
In this eerie place, being cautious can't hurt!
A mile away from the ancient palace, a strange and eerie energy flow blocked their path! Dark clouds, like ghostly shadows, churned in front of them, occasionally emitting a mournful howl, as if evil spirits were wailing.
Qian Tian was somewhat uneasy as he hovered around Xiao Gu's shoulder, and even he didn't dare to confirm what would happen.
"A deafening howl rose, a gruesome skull over five meters high struggled in the dark fog, and then shattered in an instant."
A shrill cry made Xiao Gu's eyes widen in surprise.
"Ahhh……" A disheveled woman, her upper body over 7-8 meters long, covered in dark green scales, was struggling and wailing. Her lower body was a gigantic snake tail, over 10 meters long! Although she had a beautiful face, at this moment it looked somewhat ferocious. As she let out a shrill cry, the dark green scales on her body all stood up, oozing scarlet blood. Then her entire body exploded, leaving behind a large cloud of bloody mist in mid-air.
This is a snake man tribe, aren't they already extinct? Xiao Gu's hair stood on end.
This place is also too weird!
Then, a fifty-meter-long purple dragon, emitting a thunderous roar, was tumbling in the surging black fog, spitting out waves of terrifying light, almost tearing apart the void. It was truly earth-shattering and had an overbearing attitude as if it could swallow the sun and moon. However, in the end, it suddenly shattered with a loud crash, transforming into endless blood rain!
What's going on? Xiao Gu began to suspect, everything here is real, but it gives him a strange sense of void, making him feel like he's dreaming, and he doesn't know if it's an illusion.
"It's all an illusion!" Xiao Gu closed his eyes, his divine power circulating, and when he opened them again, those terrifying scenes had indeed disappeared.
In the rolling black fog, there is obviously an evil and strange power existing.
This is really annoying, Old Wang suddenly said.
"What? You know where this is?" Xiao Gu was shocked.
Of course I don't know, I've just seen similar places before. If you can get in, you might get some benefits, Greedy Sky said, leaning on Xiao Gu's shoulder.
What will happen? Xiao Gu is very concerned.
Go see for yourself, Old Wang obviously doesn't want to answer.
Xiao Gu pursued the question, but unfortunately, this old turtle's mouth was tightly closed, and he didn't leak a single word.
In the end, he was left with only himself.
"It's probably a repeat of history!" Xiao Gu did not dare to rush forward, after all, that terrible black vortex was real and could crush bones, his body might not be able to withstand it.
Separated by a distance of over one li, the true appearance of the palace could not be seen clearly. Strip after strip of magical cloud was swirling around it, and only a towering and majestic magic shadow could be seen.
This strange place, can be seen from a distance, but when approaching, it's invisible. After listening to Lao Wang Ba's words, Xiao Gu was eager to go and take a look, but the black fog blocked everything, making it impossible for him to pass through.
Xiao Gu stood still for a long time, then moved his feet and began to circle around the area. He found that within a radius of one mile centered on the palace, it was a life-forbidden zone, and he couldn't penetrate at all.
A giant bone several meters long, thrown in ten meters away, will quickly melt like snowflakes under the scorching sun!
Destructive power, leaving one no choice but to stand in awe!
When Xiao Gu turned to the west side of the palace, his hairs suddenly stood up and he felt danger! In an instant, he suddenly discovered a petrified figure standing in the black fog of the life forbidden zone, very close to him, definitely not an illusion!
