Immortal quest system

Chapter 96 The Ancient War
"This restriction is not set up to prevent outsiders from entering, but to prevent the things inside from coming out!"

Fat Immortal's words awakened the dreamer, and Chen Yao finally realized that, if understood from this perspective, everything would make sense.

When passing through the ancient guard before, the other party once said that his task is not to prevent outsiders or monsters from entering, but to prevent living things from coming out.At that time, Chen Yao didn't think about it carefully, thinking that it was just a kind of rhetoric he said casually in order to let them pass.

But now the nature of the restriction in front of him made him understand that his previous understanding was completely wrong.This place is probably not the cemetery of some great person, or the treasure house of some ancient sect, but an ancient prison where something terrible was sealed up!

"What kind of terrible thing is it that makes people spend so much time digging up an entire mountain range and sealing it underground?"

Chen Yao began to think while observing the restriction.

"Break up the mountain and set up many checkpoints. In order to prevent outsiders from entering by mistake, multiple passages are specially separated to confuse the audience. From the outside of the cave to the inside, the difficulty of the checkpoints gradually increases, and the strength of the monsters also rises. They even set up ancient guards like this." The existence of BUG is only as a gatekeeper, this is simply a net set up in ancient times!"

Beads of sweat had already appeared on Chen Yao's forehead, and he couldn't help shivering all over his body.In this ghostly place, there are many difficulties along the way, and each place has a completely different way to solve it. If you are not careful, you will be trapped in a place of eternal doom.Whether it is the so-called treasures or magic words, they are just appendages of this ancient prison, and the real secret is still in the deepest cage.

Chen Yao looked up, and everything in front of him seemed to be no longer natural, and traces of artificial excavation could be seen everywhere.How much manpower and material resources will it take to open up such a channel, and how many years will it take?No matter what is imprisoned here, one thing is certain, that is:
"If this thing is released, the world will be devastated."

The fiercest of dangers, the dangers of dangers, under the evil aura, the real difficulty is far from coming!
"Be careful, kid." Fat Immortal was not idle either, squinting his eyes and frowning, looking around, he was studying the mystery of this restriction, and reminded Chen Yao: "This restriction is very strange, it's not just such a low level of sending people out, if I If there is no mistake, I am afraid that every step here must be extremely careful. If you make a wrong step, you may lose your soul!"

"It's really painstaking." Chen Yao also looked stern, and asked Fat Immortal with a glimmer of hope: "How should we judge the route? How can we go so as not to be killed in seconds?"

The fat fairy rolled his eyes and said angrily, "I don't know!"

Chen Yao sighed, at the critical moment, this fat man who knew everything and everything suddenly became dumb.Even this fat man doesn't know how to move forward. The person who set up this restriction is probably very powerful, at least he can sit on an equal footing with this idle fairy.

"Since it's a prison, there must be a way to get in." Chen Yao said seriously: "If time passes and the situation is changed and forgotten for a long time, wouldn't it be bad if the newcomers don't know how to enter the restricted area? So there will definitely be clues here , wait for me to find it!"

Carefully avoiding the restriction, Chen Yao began to search around the passage.Outside the location of the restriction, there is a space slightly larger than the previous passage, which is close to the size of a stone room. The inner wall is pitch black, but if you wipe it with your hands, you can wipe off the thick dust.

"On the dark underground rock wall, there is such a thick layer of dust. If you go further in, there must be other exits!"

This discovery cheered Chen Yao up a little. Just as he wanted to look elsewhere, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some uneven marks on the stone wall that had just been wiped.

"Is this a mural?"

Using the celestial energy to light up the light ball, Chen Yao quickly swung his arm and wiped the stone wall all over.Following his movements, pieces of dust on the stone wall fell, and an ancient mural appeared in front of Chen Yao.

"There really is a mystery!"

Chen Yao was excited for a while, and took a closer look with the light of immortal energy.This mural is written like a god, with concise and powerful strokes, strong and free and easy, even if it is thousands of years apart, you can still feel the detachment of the painter.

The murals are divided into upper and lower parts in chronological order. The first part can't help but be said to be an ancient war.

There is no cause and effect, only a vast and magnificent war picture can be seen:

In the ancient Cangyue Mountains, there were many monsters, and for some reason they suddenly rebelled together and harmed the world.

Countless monks came to fight at the foot of the Cangyue Mountains. The densely packed crowd fought with countless monsters. The scene was very grand, like the opening scene of a mythological movie.

Among the monsters, there are four big monsters that are particularly conspicuous, with strange and strange images, and their names are engraved on the top of their heads.

"Qiong Qi, Zhu Yan, Fei Lian, Heng Gong Yu..." Chen Yao silently recited these names, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly said: "Aren't these all monsters that appeared in classics such as Shan Hai Jing?"

Although the names are very similar to the legendary monsters in the original world, the appearance of these four monsters is slightly different from the monsters in Chen Yao's memory, but the difference is not too big.

Afterwards, several murals were grand and magnificent, and the scrolls of war unfolded slowly. The battle between monks and demons seemed to be quite fierce. Chen Yao even felt that he could vaguely smell a bloody gunpowder.

"The four big monsters, do they correspond to the four cave entrances?"

Chen Yao didn't know whether his judgment was right or wrong, so he continued to read without thinking deeply.

After a fierce battle, the human monks gained the upper hand, beheading the four big monsters one after another, their heads hung high, and they were nailed to the mountain range. After countless years, they finally died after being beaten by wind and rain.

The picture scroll after that made Chen Yao feel a little dazed again. The four great monsters are obviously not the real underground kings. People pick it off, leaving only a small piece of white space.

On the top of the final demon king's head, a word "Ruo" stood alone on it, and I don't know what it refers to.

"If... would it be the name of the demon king?"

As of this picture, the murals on the left side of the cave chamber are all over.Chen Yao couldn't wait to turn around, wiped the stone wall on the right side clean, and began to look at the lower part of the scroll.

The strength of the demon king "Ruo" seems to be far superior to other demons. The human monks retreated steadily after fighting hard, with countless casualties and corpses strewn all over the field. It seems that this unborn demon king is about to come out of the mountain.At a critical moment, an old monk stood up and used his body as a bait to absorb the endless immortal energy of human monks, turning himself into an immortal energy bomb and attacking the demon king Ruo in a suicidal manner.

This battle ended with the tragic victory of the human cultivator. The old cultivator sacrificed himself and smashed Ruo into the bottom of the Cangyue Mountains, making him temporarily lose the strength to make a comeback.The human monks took advantage of the victory and pursued, using the Cangyue Mountains as the main body, built a huge cage that had never been seen before, and locked Ruo deeply in this prison.

"This is the origin of the underground prison in the Cangyue Mountains."

Chen Yao nodded slowly and continued to look down.

After the cage was established, in order to prevent Ruo, who was not yet dead, from re-exiting the prison someday in the future, the human monks tried their best to set up many checkpoints in this cage.A cross-shaped passage was dug out, one horizontal and one vertical, which coincided with the two routes that the outside world could enter.

Among the two passages, the human monk left two ancient beasts as gatekeepers, who were in charge of the entry and exit of the two passages respectively.Chen Yao had already seen one of these two strange beasts, and it was the formidable ancient guard.

After arriving here, there was only the last picture left in the scroll. Chen Yao turned his head slowly, and before he could see the picture on the mural carefully, he felt a bone-chilling chill. Shrouded in it, made it shudder.

In the last picture, a huge blurry figure was sealed in the prison at the bottom of the Cangyue Mountains. On its body, countless thick chains bound it, firmly trapping it.

Above the demon king's head, countless sword rains and sharp blades hang high. If the demon king has a slight movement, it will come at any time and deal a heavy blow to the demon king.

Ruo, the ancient demon king, was trapped under this ancient mountain range without life or death. He suffered from the heat of the earth every day, without life or death.

"It's such a terrifying monster...!"

Chen Yao trembled all over, most of the image of the demon king Ruo had been picked off, leaving only a vague outline.In the middle of the outline, a huge monster eye remains, with only a few strokes, the ghostly aura is so high that people dare not look directly at it.

"It's just the image on the mural, and there is such a terrifying demonic aura. Could it be that this is the supreme terror of the ancient demon king?"

Chen Yao stretched out his hand involuntarily, and gently stroked the demon king's eyes. A fierce murderous aura permeated him, knocking him away and waking him up instantly.

"Boy, have you finished reading yet?!"

Fat Immortal's greasy and anxious voice came, as if he was quite dissatisfied with Chen Yao's behavior of "not doing business properly".

"Come and help me after reading it, I seem to understand the principle of this ban!"

"Don't worry, fat man."

Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and took a few steps back, allowing the lower half of the entire painting to come into view, and thoughtfully said:

"I know how to get in."
