Chapter 230 The Ancient Lineage

Just when everyone finished planning and split up to act, everyone in the countermeasure room was also preparing in an orderly manner.

Isayama Koizumi's expression remained unchanged, but he was only concentrating on communicating with his precious sword, the Lion King, using spiritual power to nourish the spirit beasts in it, adjusting the state, and asking some questions from Saronomiya Isumi by the way, and the others were also doing it in a hurry All kinds of preparations to deal with the troubles that follow.

Kazuki Sakuraba looked around in a trance, wondering if he hadn't woken up yet, and couldn't help asking Koji Iwatata beside him, "Uncle, is there really a dragon inside?" He wasn't that inhuman. Physical fitness, so those who speak must shout loudly so as not to be blown away by the storm.

Only in this way can other people hear other people's voices amidst the raging wind.

"It doesn't look like a joke, it should be."

"Then why are they still able to say it so naturally, go in and kill a dragon if there is one - is this world crazy?" Yingting Yiqi's eyes straightened.

"It may be that you are not in a good state recently. Come on, uncle will give you some of my protein..."

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Uncle, go away, I'm not gay!"

……

……

Mu Xiu originally thought that there might be a natural cave behind that crack, because it could blow the gust of wind just now from a larger abyss in the depths.

But after entering the crack and walking for a while against the strong wind in the darkness, he found that things were not that simple.Because what appeared in front of his eyes was a black tunnel, with obvious traces of man-made carvings, and the ground under his feet was divided into countless steep, very narrow, pitch-black steps.

It seems to be extending endlessly downwards, leading to an unknown abyss.

Although the two sides are so solid that they are not like stone walls but more like black iron blocks, and they are not tall cliffs and steep abysses, but because of this, the gust of wind howling from such a narrow space is simply unimaginable, and it has almost changed. Become a high-density air pressure wall.

But since Mu Xiu wanted to enter it, he naturally said so with full confidence. He kept advancing at a fast speed along the way.Gui Daiju and Gui Xuelu behind him didn't know what he was doing, they only knew that he kept swinging forward with a knife——

The blade of the sword slashed into the air sharply, the timing was extremely precise, and the whistling wind just rang out before disappearing abruptly.

There is only a slight flow of airflow that I don't know if it is an illusion, basically it can only brush the hair next to the ear, which makes people feel that this should be the breeze that I brought when I acted.

Only the uninterrupted howling of the wind from far away seems to tell that all this is not an illusion, but I don’t know why every time the strong air pressure wall pushes towards Mu Xiu, all of them are blown away by him with a swing of the sword. eliminated.

Although it feels miraculous, after accepting this setting, Gui Daiju was able to push all things to the "field of non-knowledge" with peace of mind.She carefully followed the boy's footsteps, and after observing for a long time, she felt relieved.

Then, she finally had a chance to look at Gui Xuelu who was being dragged along by her grasping palms, looking very helpless: "Sister, let me tell you, you can't even control your body well now, why? Want to come in with me?"

"Nonsense, I can control it now..." Guixuelu directly denied, even though she was still a little shaky when she walked, "It's you, Xiao Chi, why did you have to follow in?"

"This... this... because I am the president of the student council, of course I have to take responsibility for this situation. I can't let him in alone!" Quickly found an aboveboard reason for himself.

After all, it can't be said to be an excuse, because no matter if anyone else wants to come in, she really can't stand by and watch.

But Gui Xuelu didn't point it out, just smiled and tightened his sister's palm, saying: "That's it, I'm also a teacher, and I'm still your sister, how could I not come in with you?"

This is also the reason why she insisted on acting together.

The girl looked at her sister for a long time, her eyes seemed to think of something, and she was slightly touched, then she turned her head away and pouted her lips and said, "...then do whatever you want!"

"Hmph, is Xiao Chi shy?"

"elder sister--!!"

Maybe it's because this narrow underground passage is too sinister, people always feel out of breath when walking in it, the two of them can only use this method to relieve the pressure in their hearts, after all, in such an environment , anyone can be driven out of claustrophobia.

"..."

Mu Xiu just listened to the movement behind him silently in front, but kept walking, just silently counting the time when the next wind pressure wall will push forward to him, and swung his next sword.

Except for himself, no one has noticed that his current state is very wrong. ——With the continuous emergence of memory fragments, he noticed an inexplicable "resonance" appearing in his body, or should it appear in the soul?
He couldn't be sure anyway.

It was as if a key "puzzle piece" was missing before, causing his state to be incomplete, but since Mu Xiu himself was in this mountain, he didn't feel much about it.Because this is not a broken limb, but a deeper loss that belongs to the essence of life.

Until now, with the emergence and repair of those fragments, his state has gradually become complete, and the state of pure and clear mind and body has also become clearer and clearer.At this time, any disturbance from the outside world could interrupt the process, so he just kept his head on the road to grab the distance, and didn't say much.

But that's good too, now he can feel the existence of almost every strength in his body in detail, there is a feeling that even the dust in the air can be perceived and manipulated in a specific and subtle way, and this state of emptiness is still there. Constantly deepening...

Over time, it finally reached a peak.

It seems that every trace of flesh and blood and every cell of the body has been integrated into the soul and possesses spirituality.Just like when he practiced breathing method in the past, he focused on perceiving the breathing of all things, and entered into a mysterious and wonderful perception, which is as natural as blood and breathing.

There is free energy in the atmosphere or space, and Mu Xiu only knew about such a thing in the past.

But now he can clearly perceive the countless energies between the heaven and the earth, and further understand the changes in the density, sparseness, and clarity of these energies.

It was an indescribable feeling, but his body was indeed telling him that the whole world was different.

It seems that so far, this hidden improvement is scary enough, but Mu Xiu has a kind of understanding - there is still a layer of paper, as long as it is pierced, then he will enter a new realm, more sensitive, Also more powerful.

However, although it seems that he can take that step at any time and enter that brand-new realm level as a matter of course, he has another intuition that makes him dare not act rashly.

……

……

The wind pressure is still strong, and the frequency seems to be even more violent.

The passage is constantly changing in direction and slope, and the steep steps are not easy to walk and are not safe.Ordinary people can basically only climb down carefully like climbing a ladder, and it is absolutely impossible to run as fast as Mu Xiu and the others.

I don’t know how long I’ve been moving forward. Gradually, Gui Daiju felt that her sense of direction and sense of up and down seemed to be lost. She just gritted her teeth and followed the figure in front of her, being careful not to let herself stumble on the steep steps. fall.

But things like sensibility are difficult to overcome by relying on will. Gradually, she can't even tell whether she and others are running up or down, and she doesn't know how far she has traveled.

When Gui Daiju's feet felt the level ground again, time seemed to have stopped completely.

Some kind of unknown underground phosphorescence lit up the void in front of me, a huge and majestic boulder passage appeared at the end of the line of sight, the space around me finally suddenly opened up, and a brighter light illuminated the far end—that was a huge The gap, outside is a brand new world shining with strange light.

Now, the three of them finally understood what was going on with the crazy storm, it was clearly pouring in from outside!
It's not something difficult to understand, but at this moment, even Mu Xiu had a doubt about whether he was insane, because he saw the huge mountain opposite and the "sky" outside the passage...

It was as if they were walking along the dark fork of a cave in the belly of a huge mountain.After walking for an unknown amount of time, I finally saw the opening at the other end of the cave halfway up the mountain, but I was still in the sky.

"—Is this really underground?"

After constantly "killing" the violent wind, Mu Xiu first walked to the "gap" fault, looked outside, and then glimpsed a world full of vitality but still in a barbaric period——

It was as if he was looking out from a cave in the belly of a huge mountain, and saw the surrounding peaks soaring into the clouds, the river pouring down from the cliffs to form a waterfall hanging in the air, and the lush and primitive ecological environment , saw the "sky" exuding pale light.

Huge plants with teardrop-like spots fluttered with the wind, there were strange creatures with colorful skin in the wet and sticky mud, fog and water droplets lingered above the wetlands and swamps...

The mountains are equally simple and majestic, stretching out in a strange pattern until the end of the sky.

This is completely inconsistent with the development of "the dragon in the depths of the dungeon" that Mu Xiu had expected before. He was completely stunned for a while, but he faintly realized something.If it is an ordinary person, it may be really confused by such a scene, just like the two of Gui Daiju.

They could hardly move their eyes, and the feeling of shock was probably the same as that of the first time later generations used 3D equipment to experience "Avatar", and it was probably far superior.

But Mu Xiu is different. He happens to have the ability to see the absolute essence of all things directly, so he has also noticed the vitality of the rich and unique ecological system long ago, and he is completely unable to conceal the heavy and cold atmosphere of the past.It was the breath of death, and he was too familiar with it.

What's more-the "Lord God" light ball has not moved yet, and the cold reminder has not sounded.

"Be careful, I suspect this may really be an ancient tomb..."

After hesitating for a moment, the boy took a deep breath and reminded in a dry voice.The muscles and nerves of his whole body were tense, and he had already entered a state of high vigilance.

In Mu Xiu's eyes, a dreamlike azure blue light once again flowed, and the normal scenery in the field of vision was broken in an instant, and dead lines emerged one after another.

The excessive use of the magic eye along the way has already made his brain feel a pain, but now he must continue to use the vision of the magic eye to indirectly observe the essence of the connection between cause and effect.

"...!!"

However, in the blink of an eye, even though he had already made psychological preparations, Mu Xiu's complexion changed drastically.

In an instant, there was only a dead silence and eternal darkness left in his eyes, and the magnificence and magnificence of the previously lush underground world was instantly torn away from the surface camouflage. The "sky" emitted a blood-like dark red light, dyeing everything a deep red, and there were bones everywhere as far as the eye could see.

The endless "deaths", the "deaths" of an entire grand mythological era, in his eyes, are slowly uncovering a corner of dusty history.

Those rough and majestic peaks are not terrain at all, but the bones of an ancient creature beyond imagination piercing the sky one by one.

The next moment, it was as if the whole world was trembling, and the earth cracked and roared.

Along with the roar of the dragon resounding, a terrifying will descended, and the strange thing is that this time, Mu Xiu suddenly understood the meaning contained in it——

"It really is the breath of the ancient blood! Come on! Be the carrier of my resurrection!"

It was a frenzied will, and the meaning expressed was somewhat endless, but it did not prevent Mu Xiu from understanding it in an instant.

So it was because after he slayed the dragon... he bathed in dragon blood?

In other words, if I didn't follow him this time, nothing would actually happen?
