It’s snowing heavily!
Outside the Sichuan Pass, on a hill, three sharp-edged figures appeared one by one, looking towards the city wall.
The strong wind, carrying heavy snow, whistled like a raging tide at this border pass that was chopped by swords and axes. The lights on the city walls were severely bent by the wind and snow, but they never went out.
Suddenly, a dull roar came from far away, like thunder rolling in from the sky, rumbling.
Immediately afterwards, the heavy city gate opened with a creaky sound.
The next second, thunder burst out at the city gate, and tens of thousands of cavalrymen rushed out of the city like a black torrent. The iron hooves of the war horses stepped on the snow, quickly rushing out of a muddy field. On the horses' backs, the iron armor shone coldly, and behind them, small black flags with gold edges fluttered in the wind, like black wings.
Under the iron helmets, pairs of cold eyes shot out cold light, cutting through the long snowy night and whistling out of the city!
The Ninth Mountain then led its troops south!
On the hills in the distance, Wudao Mountain's peak Musashi Yangshan watched the black steel torrent roaring southward, his eyes brightened, "It's time for us to leave too!"
As he spoke, he turned into a ray of cold star and soared up, then rushed into the wind and snow. Ling Yunzi and Zhao Quanzhen behind him stepped together at the same time and followed him quickly and neatly.
At this time, in the torrent of armored troops, at the front of the team, an old general with a goatee and wearing green armor disappeared in the torrent. He held the reins of his horse in one hand, his body slightly bent, and his other hand turned into a sword finger. He used his finger as a pen and chanted a spell. In the howling wind and snow, his pen moved like a dragon, and small golden characters lit up with each stroke, and then disappeared into the air.
It was like a character key was pressed in the void and then went out!
However, these extinguished characters did not actually disappear, but instead entered into another realm of nothingness. These words, composed of the power of incense, turned into golden lights, and at an unimaginable speed, crossed the mountains and rivers of this void to go to another realm.
The next second, thousands of miles away, there was a huge volcano with a diameter of more than ten miles in the Xianti Mountain. Under the boiling magma, a pair of terrifying blue triangular snake eyes suddenly opened.
I saw this ten-foot-long green hook snake spitting out a golden flame from its mouth, which turned into a raging fire and wrapped around a huge object. The surrounding magma turned a terrifying dark purple, and the purple was mixed with a hint of light golden fire.
The temperature here has reached a very terrifying level, and the deep purple magma can burn Musashi's body.
But this ten-foot-long green hook snake stayed inside as if nothing happened. At this moment, it was spitting out golden flames from its mouth and devouring something.
This thing was actually the corpse of a ferocious beast. Its bones were as crystal clear as white jade and only fifty or sixty feet long, but it had two horns on its head and two hooks on its tail. The surface of the crystal clear bones, which were as white as jade, was covered with traces of gold threads. These gold threads carried powerful vitality and pressure, like flowing beast blood. It was just unknown what kind of monster's blood could have such a powerful pressure even after death.
Outside this animal bone, in the purple fire area, there are flashing restrictions that surround this white jade animal bone.
But this green hook snake broke through these many restrictions!
"The front line has sent out troops, faster than I expected. I have to speed up too!"
At this moment, as the green triangular snake's pupils opened, a string of small golden characters flashed by like a flash of light, and then the snake spoke in human language.
It was Chen Yuan who sneaked into Xianti Mountain last night!
Things went more smoothly than he had imagined. He first used the magical power of Marrying Dreams to capture several awakened demon snakes and extract some basic information about this clan. After basically understanding the situation, he killed a hook snake in the Profound Body Realm in a volcanic cave, refined its essence and blood, and took over its nest. Then he used the magical power of Fetal Transformation to replace it.
Then he just had to wait, because he had learned that the Hook Snake Clan would send troops to Yinshan every once in a while.
As a result, within a day, the Xiantishan tribe rang the bell to summon the tribesmen. Thousands of hook snakes emerged from the various holes in the volcanic group, followed the lava river, went upstream, and gathered at the huge volcano called the tribe's land.
Chen Yuan transformed himself into one of them and came to the volcano. He saw hundreds of huge and ferocious hook snakes causing trouble in the volcano, which was a spectacular sight.
However, many of them were demon snakes whose ancestral blood had not yet awakened, or whose cultivation was low and whose spiritual intelligence had not yet been awakened. He mixed in with them, and was still thinking about how to sneak into this clan’s land. As a result, streaks of light flew out from the huge crater.
Those were pieces of golden snake scales, each as big as a millstone. These golden snake scales flew down rapidly along the lava rivers that gushed out of this huge volcano, and shuttled through the lava rivers.
When these snake scales pass by some slightly stronger hook snakes, they will drill into the body of the snake, and then a faint golden light will be emitted from the surface of the hook snake.
It seems like I was chosen by some kind of choice!
As for those who are obviously not intelligent or have low demonic energy, these snake scales will skip over them!
At that time, the dog snake that Chen Yuan transformed into was shot towards by a piece of golden snake scale. His heart tightened slightly at that time, but he did not use his Qi to repel the thing. Instead, he let the snake scale turn into a light golden light and penetrate into his body.
As soon as this piece of snake scale entered his body, it was suppressed by his three divine treasures, golden elixir and Dao fruit. Mysterious light emanated from it, which excited a small drop of hook snake blood essence that was refined in an acupoint in his body. Then his "snake body" also emitted golden light!
As a result, he was chosen and brought into the so-called clan territory of Hook Snake, which was the huge volcano!
There is a different world inside, and the buildings are not much different from the carved beams and painted buildings in the human world. Soon after, the transformed Tianguan demon general of the tribe told the selected hook snakes that they would follow the Lord Tengu to the expedition outside the mountain. The hundreds of hook snakes selected by the snake scales therefore let out excited and ferocious roars.
Before leaving, those guys who were practicing outside had to enter the "Dragon Transformation Pool" to awaken the ancestral blood in their bodies faster and wash away the traces of the curse.
So, Chen Yuan now appeared here, in the so-called forbidden area of the Hook Snake Clan, the Dragon Pool!
This was also the first time that Chen Yuan truly witnessed the unique hierarchy and social methods of the demon race!
The lower-level tribesmen roamed the mountains like wild animals, fighting and hunting, while the higher-level demons followed the same social ways as humans, except that their behavior was simple and crude.
At this moment, Chen Yuan suddenly appeared at the deepest part of the Dragon Transformation Pool!
Before entering, he was careful about the blood mark left by the hook snake clan in there, so as not to expose himself. As a result, he found that after entering this magma pool, the hook snake blood in his body did riot, but it was soon suppressed by another majestic cry.
In the fire god's storehouse in his body, the fire phoenix let out a joyful roar, and the fiery red paulownia leaves growing on the coffin board trembled, sweeping out a suction force.
Then, Chen Yuan's body began to frantically absorb the fire essence in the magma pool!
He sensed the change and immediately cut off the suction. If he noticed something unusual here, wouldn't it be a sign of guilt? He sensed that there were eyes watching him in secret!
Although he did not sense any threatening energy, he was an important part of the plan and he had to be cautious.
However, sensing his Fire God's desire for this essence, he also became curious. After all, the coffin board was made of the sacred Wutong wood. If it could make this thing show a little bit of abnormality, there must be something.
So Chen Yuan looked at his "companions" who were stimulating their ancestral blood in the "Dragon Transformation Pool", screaming in intense pain, and sneaked in silently!
As he dived deeper into the magma pool, Chen Yuan was somewhat surprised to find that the situation inside was very similar. As he dived deeper, the color of the magma changed and the temperature became more and more terrifying.
However, with the Fire Phoenix Divine Fire in his body, he was like a fish in water, and he kept diving to the deepest part. When he first saw this scene, he was a little excited, and then he saw a beast bone here!
The strange phenomenon of this "Dragon Pond" was created because of this animal bone.
This made Chen Yuan, who was expecting to find a surprise here, a little disappointed. The surprise he was talking about was of course the luck spiritual root!
Obviously, he was greedy!
Although this fire zone is terrifying, it is not as terrible as the one in Jiangjun Mountain. The deepest part of the fire zone, where the coffin is placed, is full of golden fire zones that even the great masters of Musashi would avoid like snakes and scorpions. Chen Yuan used it once in the Tianxiong Pass mutiny and once in the Qingshan County battle, and the effect was surprisingly good.
However, the tomb in Jiangjun Mountain is related to "Bai Yujing" and the sacred Wutong tree, and it is not easy to take out either one of them.
It is truly miraculous that this animal bone can have such an effect!
Looking at the appearance of the animal bones and the pressure he felt, Chen Yuan guessed that it should be the remains of an ancestor of the Hook Snake Clan who had passed away.
He didn't know how many years this corpse had been here, but it still retained such an aura, but it must be a dragon-tiger level demon!
Or maybe even more powerful!
A corpse of this level is naturally a treasure!
Since he had come across it, and it was the demon's ancestral tomb, Chen Yuan would be sorry for himself if he hesitated for a second, so he decided to dig it up!
Facing the numerous restrictions set by this tribe outside, he, who was well versed in formations, did not spend much effort to break them. It was not that the restrictions set by the hook snake tribe were not strong enough, but that these restrictions were all based on the fire region here. Chen Yuan had the formation ability, the forbidden light of the Dharma Eye, and the Fire Phoenix Divine Fire. With these three methods, he opened a hole in the restriction without causing any noise and slipped in.
Now, he was initially refining the demon bone and urging the divine fire to wrap the demon bone. As the golden thread was refined, it was slowly refined into Chen Yuan's body by the divine fire. After wandering around, it entered the Fire God's Treasure House and was sucked into the incarnation of the Fire Phoenix hovering in it. The divine phoenix leaf in it turned red and trembled, and new branches slowly grew out from the coffin board.
At the same time, during this process, the small drop of hook snake blood in his body kept boiling, and impurities turned into wisps of black gas and dissipated. The bright red blood drop became bright red and dripping. There was a faint power awakening inside, the power was not strong enough, but it was pure and amazing. He could sense fragmented information flows inside.
Chen Yuan did not stop it, but just sealed the acupoints, not daring to let the breath leak out, and he became very interested in it.
Is this the so-called "ancestral blood" awakening that the demons talk about?
You know, the power of these demons mostly comes from the power passed down in their blood by their ancestors. Some are innate, and some are acquired. These demons have engraved the heritage in their blood, passing it down from generation to generation, and it will last forever.
However, as they reproduced from generation to generation, the blood in these monsters became more and more mixed and impure, and the power they obtained became less and less. They were unable to awaken instinctively on their own, or they had to reach a certain stage of practice to awaken part of their inheritance.
This is the so-called Ancestral Blood Awakening, and it is also the main way for the demons to gain power!
Chen Yuan had previously learned the magical power of the Nine Transformations of Demons, and later evolved it into the Tiangang magical power of fetal transformation. His body could accommodate hundreds of rivers and change in thousands of ways, so he dared to take the risk of walking on the tightrope deep into the hinterland of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
At this moment, I actually experienced the true awakening of the demon's inheritance. It was really mysterious.
However, he received news from Gongsun Yang that troops had been dispatched from Chuanzhong Pass, so he did not waste any more time on this issue. He calmed down, increased his firepower, and sped up the refining of the white jade demon bone, unraveling the golden silk threads on it and sucking them all into his mouth.
At the same time, his perception was constantly released, sensing any movement outside. Fortunately, it was still calm. He had several levels of magical powers to conceal his energy, and the numerous restrictions outside also helped to cover it up in disguise.
After all, the monsters here could never have imagined that someone would dig up their ancestral graves at the foot of the Yinshan Mountain, where the human race has become extinct and monsters are everywhere!
In this "calm" state, the demon bone that was refined by the divine fire continued to shrink, and the golden threads on it also gradually became less.
About an hour later, the demon bone had been melted into a white jade slurry, and the gold threads on it had almost been pulled out.
However, Chen Yuan did not have so much time to practice in silence, so he simply opened his mouth wide and swallowed the divine fire along with the object.
Then, his pupils flashed and he spit out another spit of golden magma, which replenished the golden color that had been diluted by the magma after the magic bone was taken away. He stirred it and then a golden light suddenly shot out from the snake's pupils.
The golden light changed and took on the appearance of the demon bone!
After doing all this, Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, and then he came to the edge of the heavy restrictions, and followed the same method, opening a hole in the restrictions for himself to escape, and then left the restrictions and rushed straight to the magma above.
After half a cup of tea,
"crash"
A beam of green light burst out from the magma pool and landed on the volcanic rock beside it with a thud. A pair of green snake eyes, glowing with a cold light, looked around!
And all around, dense demonic shadows appeared, and the demonic aura had obviously become much stronger!
More and more hook snakes came out.
Chen Yuan was the one who came out in the middle of this batch of hook snakes, neither early nor late.
Wait for all the hook snakes to come out.
The Tianguan demon general who had led them before spoke expressionlessly,
"Let's go, it's time to set off!" (End of this chapter)
