68 corpses too old 2

  At this time, Liao Dongfeng's corpse aura was greatly released, and he looked like a malevolent spirit. The Corpse General also caught his breath immediately, and seven or eight white flower-like tentacles supported the ground and moved towards him.

  As soon as Liao Dongfeng saw the corpse, he immediately jumped into the passage. As soon as he entered the passage, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards him, and his whole body was instantly drenched in sweat.

  "How come it's so hot here? Is there really something like molten lava underground? No, this isn't an earthquake zone! Even if it was before, it's not now! If it's this hot on the surface, who knows how hot it'll be underground. In other words, if there really is molten lava, wouldn't it have erupted already and we wouldn't still be standing here today? Could it be that there's a fire underground? Isn't fire just molten lava?"

  Liao Dongfeng's nonsense increased, and his inner fear weakened a lot. As he watched the corpse slowly crawl into the dark passage, Liao Dongfeng quickly turned on his flashlight to search for the mechanism to close the entrance of the passage.

  The passage extends at an angle of about 45 degrees to unknown depths, and the distance from the top of the wall to the head is only more than two meters. As it goes deeper, the light around becomes darker and darker. Liao Dongfeng carefully observes the walls and the space above his head as he passes by, but after walking for nearly 20 minutes, he doesn't see any mechanisms or anything. Thinking back to what he saw and heard before, Liao Dongfeng is certain that this thousand-year-old underground palace is a place full of mechanisms. He remembers that when he was in the Dou Shi Xian, it said that all the mechanisms inside the palace are connected to him. Since that's the case, why not flip through the memories of the corpse immortal now and see if there's any major discovery.

  At this point, Liao Dongfeng completely abandoned his spiritual defense line. He also knew that once a person's spiritual defense line collapsed, those dirty things would take advantage of the situation and enter, which is what we often say "ghost possession". Now, he was facing the corpse poison of the thousand-year-old corpse fairy. If he allowed the corpse poison to release freely, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, if he didn't do so, the memory of the corpse fairy couldn't be awakened, and simply possessing its power wouldn't be enough to subdue the Corpse Emperor. At this time, Liao Dongfeng made up his mind. He tightly grasped the ghost face lantern in his hand, then tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and firmly tied the ghost face lantern and his hand together. His purpose was simple: the ghost face lantern could gather and purify the corpse poison. If the corpse poison were to explode later, the ghost face lantern might still be able to save his life.

  He abandoned all his thoughts, and his mind was empty. At the same time, the black mark on his right arm rapidly spread throughout his body. It seemed as if he saw the blood in his body quickly turning black, and the blood rushed towards his heart. Just as the black blood entered his heart, a strange chill came, spreading from inside to outside, freezing all functions of his body, finally rushing into his brain.

  "Ji Guan Wang, we meet again." This was the voice of Shi Xian, and Liao Dongfeng found it particularly familiar.

  "You are indeed very strong, and yet you can still be as resilient as a small grass."

  Corpse Immortal let out a cold laugh, but his laughter had always been like this.

  "I thought you'd seal me in that coffin again, but I didn't expect you to dare seal me within your own body. Don't you fear that I'll turn the tables on you?"

  Liao Dongfeng smiled slightly and replied, "If you wanted to take over my body, you would have done it long ago. Why wait until now? So I think you're still a man of your word. And I know you're not afraid of the darkness and loneliness here, but rather that once you gain freedom, what awaits is another crazy killing spree, your killing spree."

  "You're clever, so you can't die. If you died, I'd still have to stay in this godforsaken place for who knows how many more years. It's really not easy running into someone like you! Alright, alright, I know you've got something on your mind, spit it out already!"

  "Help me find a place to lock up the corpse for a few years, and if possible, it would be best to take me out of here too."

  "It's simple, just flip through my memories and you'll find a way out. By the way, I have another request."

  "It doesn't matter if I say it."

  "Before I find my own body, let me share this one with you. On the one hand, I can provide protection for you; on the other hand, you can also guarantee my safety."

  "Do you still have your own body? Can you be more specific? What kind of person are you?"

  The corpse fairy was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I come from the Snow Devil Country thousands of miles away. I am the last king of the Magic Country. The destruction of the Magic Country is because of that thing in your hand. That thing was originally created by a very clever countryman like you. And I also controlled many people and drove them to bring me here, because I want to find that clever person, the murderer who destroyed the Magic Country, whom you call the Ancestor of Mechanical Arts. Maybe you can help me with this."

  When he heard these words, Liao Dongfeng's whole body trembled, and it was at this moment that his consciousness suddenly recovered. He saw Shi Taishan not far behind him, and he also saw that his eyes had penetrated the wall, revealing a dense network of mechanisms like spider webs, all of which existed vividly in his mind. Moreover, after hearing Shi Xian's words, he seemed to have understood what had happened on Pamir, only he didn't know who his arch-nemesis was, or perhaps everyone was!

  With the help of Corpse Fairy's memory, Liao Dongfeng quickly ran towards the depths of the passage. Although the light had already disappeared and it was pitch black all around, he could clearly sense where danger existed.

  The long corridor finally came to an end, and another vast space appeared before my eyes. There was nothing here, not even a Long Life Lantern on the wall that could be used for lighting. All around, there were only empty walls.

  "I feel like this is a great place to imprison the corpse of an evil person, I guess the ancient tomb builders thought so too."

  As he thought of this, the rustling sound like insects moving from behind grew louder and closer, Liao Dongfeng knew that Shi Taishou had arrived, so he quickly walked towards the central area of the space.

  In the central area of the space, a 1.5-meter-long stone pillar stands out as particularly lonely. According to Liao Dongfeng's words, it is purely redundant. Shining his flashlight to examine the pillar carefully, he found that it was engraved with strange and peculiar texts. The information conveyed by these texts was about an unprecedented large-scale massacre: tens of thousands of craftsmen were driven here, the entrance was sealed off, causing all the craftsmen to suffocate to death. Their bodies slowly rotted and decomposed, eventually turning into a mountain of white bones. After an unknown period, a giant python grew on the White Bone Mountain, devouring all the skeletons clean. Without food sources, the python fell into hibernation, sleeping for thousands of years. No external interference was found in the information; everything was a natural creation.

  "A thousand years is too long, I feel it's not that simple! Hopefully there won't be any unexpected twists, I don't want to sleep here for eternity."

  Liao Dongfeng thought at the same time, Shi Taishou had slowly approached, smelled the stench, Liao Dongfeng hurriedly covered his nose, slowly retreated, and waited for Shi Taishou to fall asleep again. Think about it, with the fierce corpse ancestor in front of him, how could Shi Taishou easily give up? It slowly became frantic, and its grasping speed also became faster and faster. The extended tentacles frequently collided with the wall, making the originally flat stone wall full of holes, every time it hit, the entire space would shake, if this continued, the space would eventually collapse.

  In the distance, the entrance was slowly closing with the automatic movement of the underground palace mechanism. A loud noise was heard, and Liao Dongfeng became even more tense. However, he couldn't rush out, because that would also cause Shi Taishan to follow him out. If he could use the power of the closing mechanism to crush Shi Taishan to pieces, it wouldn't be a bad idea.
