Long Night Country

Ancient Deserted Palace

Ancient Deserted Palace

Aug 24, 2024

The sun rose in the early morning, shining brightly all over the world, but it could not shine through the vast Fanshan Mountain.

Jiang Yao ran thousands of miles overnight, and finally ran out of energy. Along the way, he did not encounter any attacks from ferocious beasts. He was really lucky.

What Jiang Yao did not know was that the night fog in Fanshan Mountain had varying degrees of influence on the spiritual perception of martial artists and ferocious beasts, and ferocious beasts almost always came out during the day and hid at night.

But in the daytime, it was different.

At this time, he was already in front of a huge waterfall, with towering peaks on both sides, and rocks and smoke under the peaks. It turned out to be a canyon.

The source of this waterfall could not be seen at a glance, and it seemed out of reach. The water was also huge, like the water in the sky, the Milky Way rolled back, and it looked magnificent, majestic, and full of a terrifying shock.

The golden sunlight shone on the rolling river, with colorful lights, clouds and mist, and a myriad of scenes, which were difficult to describe in words. The original meaning of the so-called magnificent view is probably just like this.

Jiang Yao stopped and looked, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a huge waterfall!"

Even the largest Niagara Falls and Victoria Falls on earth are like streams to rivers, which are incomparable to the waterfall in front of him.

But Jiang Yao felt something was wrong before he had time to appreciate it.

Why can't I hear the sound of the waterfall? Such a spectacular waterfall should have a thunderous sound.

Jiang Yao stepped on the pebbles in the canyon and slowly walked towards this strange waterfall, holding the long knife that Jiang Cai left for him tightly in his hand.

Soon, a huge crack in the ground suddenly appeared in front of him, and the waterfall flowed straight down into the crack, which seemed to be really three thousand miles long.

The crack in the ground was confused in the mist, and no cattle or horses were seen, and the bottom was not visible at all, and it was completely unknown how deep it was.

The waterfall torrent like the sky water poured down, but it couldn't even splash a trace of water. It just flowed silently, as if it would never end.

Jiang Yao only took a glance and felt a sense of insignificance he had never felt before. What unknown things are hidden under this mysterious ground crack that seems to be bottomless?

Because of his profession, he has always been very curious. But now he has no time to think about it. The most urgent thing is to find a safe place to restore his true energy. Only when his true energy is restored can he continue to escape.

Jiang Yao looked left and right and could only go to a forest of rocks. Only there seemed to be a place to stay.

What Jiang Yao didn't know was that he left the place for only two or three breaths, and a strange black hole suddenly appeared out of thin air. The black hole flashed and seemed to swallow up that space.

Jiang Yao came to the forest of rocks exhausted and immediately felt a gloomy death. When he released his consciousness, he found that there were many bones in the stone forest.

There were human bones and beast bones, and the bones were so numerous that it was shocking. If Jiang Yao had not been born bold, this alone would have been enough to deter him.

Stalagmites, like giant canine teeth, were densely and chaotically distributed over an area of ​​dozens of miles. On the stalagmites, there were vines like giant pythons. The vines seemed to be dead, but they were blooming red flowers wantonly.

A corpse appeared under his feet. The corpse was wearing armor, and there was a black seal in his hands that had turned into bones.

The armor of the martial artist was a real weapon, so of course it was a good thing. Although Jiang Yao didn't know the level of this armor, he saw that it was very gorgeous, and it was still intact after so long, so he knew that it was higher than the armor of those cavalry warriors.

Jiang Yao bent down, and at the moment he bent down, he heard a "swish" sound, and a strand of his hair was suddenly cut off by some invisible sharp blade.

It was not until this time that Jiang Yao's consciousness caught the fleeting murderous intent.

Jiang Yao stared blankly at a strand of hair that was slowly falling. He felt the invisible blade that was whirling and extinguishing, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

What would have happened if he hadn't bent down just now? His head would have been moved, right?

Is this the space wind blade that Deng Jiu mentioned? Deng Jiu said that the deeper into Fanshan Mountain, the more dangers there are, such as space black holes, space wind blades, and natural killing arrays, which are simply impossible to guard against. Compared with fierce beasts, these dangers are even more terrifying.

How could Jiang Yao dare to hesitate? He quickly stripped off the armor on the skeleton and couldn't wait to put it on, even the helmet.

This armor looks very majestic, with a black bird emblem painted on the chest and an unknown gorgeous bird feather on the helmet. But when he picked it up, he realized that it was very light, weighing at most seven or eight pounds. Judging from its material, it doesn't look like metal, but a material that Jiang Yao didn't know.

Jiang Yao had just finished putting on his armor when he heard a click. An invisible wind blade that was difficult to detect with his spiritual sense slashed at his waist, leaving a faint scratch on this high-level armor.

So powerful!

Jiang Yao couldn't help but tremble in his legs, and he suddenly felt the urge to urinate.

If he had put on the armor a little slower, he would have been cut in half.

Fortunately, this armor is very effective, but it's a pity that there is no face guard. If he was slashed on the face again... And how did the owner of this armor die?

Jiang Yao immediately squatted down and checked the bones of the owner of the armor.

Jiang Yao was not curious this time, but wanted to guard against the same threat by checking the cause of death of the owner of the armor.

The new and old owners of the armor couldn't die from the same danger, right?

However, what puzzled Jiang Yao was that there was no damage on the bones, so he couldn't know the cause of death. It can only be confirmed that he didn't die from the space wind blade.

Jiang Yao was about to stand up when he saw the black seal in the skeleton's hand. He unceremoniously opened the bone finger and scanned it with his spiritual sense. He picked up the black seal when he didn't notice any danger.

The black seal was very heavy to hold, and no one knew what material it was made of. It was about three inches cubic, with a black bird engraved on the side of the seal, and four large seal characters on the bottom: Xuanfeng Army Lord.

Xuanfeng Army Lord?

Which army general is this? The title sounds very powerful, and his cultivation cannot be low. How could he die here? This is not the depths of Fanshan.

Even such a strong man died here, so what about himself?

Jiang Yao dug a pit on the spot with a long knife, buried the skeleton under a stalagmite, and carved a few words: Tomb of Xuanfeng Army Lord.

Jiang Yao walked carefully for several miles in the strange stone forest, and finally guessed the cause of death of Xuanfeng Army Lord.

Because he saw a corpse more than two feet tall. This corpse was definitely not a baby's corpse, but an adult who had shrunk several times.

It was the kind of weird little man that was unique to Fanshan!

On the small corpse, there was a gorgeous long sword. Jiang Yao pulled out the long sword and saw that there were four words engraved on the gem handle: Xuanfeng Army Master.

Next to the corpse, there was also a gorgeous ring covered with moss. Jiang Yao picked up the ring and wiped off the moss on it. Sure enough, there were four small words: Xuanfeng Army Master.

This ring looked only one inch in size, but it was very heavy, probably weighing half a pound.

This ring was really weird. Could it be the storage ring written in the novel? Don't martial artists in this world use storage bags?

In the hand of the small corpse, there was also a small flute, which seemed to be made of some kind of bone, covered with strange patterns, and Jiang Yao felt uncomfortable at a glance.

His spiritual sense scanned the bone flute, and he felt dizzy. He quickly retracted his spiritual sense and dared not look at it again.

This strange bone flute should be the weapon of the villain. I don’t know what it is, but it must be a very powerful evil weapon.

Jiang Yao’s spiritual sense scanned the skeleton of the villain again and found that its bones were at least a thousand years old. This is a villain who has lived for more than a thousand years, and his cultivation must be extraordinary.

It is not difficult to infer what happened. The leader of the Xuanfeng Army was killed by the villain with a strange bone flute, and the ring was also taken away by the villain. But the villain was also stabbed by the leader of the Xuanfeng Army and died here.

Died together.

Jiang Yao unceremoniously picked up the gorgeous saber and took the ring and bone flute.

Don’t waste it.

Jiang Yao had just finished collecting things when his spiritual sense captured a huge tiger.

The tiger was as big as an elephant, standing on a stone mountain not far away, squinting at him. Its tiger hair is like a yak, dragging on the ground, its frosty teeth are like swords, and its eyes are like lightning.

The giant tiger's bloodthirsty killing intent is revealed wantonly, and a wild and violent breath is released.

Jiang Yao's heart stopped beating instantly as if it was frozen. The next moment, he rushed down to a dense stone forest desperately.

There, the giant tiger's huge body might be blocked.

A gust of wind swept over, and the giant tiger had already taken off into the air. Just as Jiang Yao rushed into the dense stone forest, a huge tiger claw slapped on the stalagmite outside.

With a "bang", the stalagmite turned into powder.

But the next moment the giant tiger slapped the stalagmite, a white light was stimulated. Then, Jiang Yao in the dense stone forest suddenly disappeared.

"Awoo--" The giant tiger saw Jiang Yao suddenly disappear on the spot, and immediately roared to the sky.

...

After Jiang Yao woke up, he found himself in a huge and dark hall. As far as the eye can see, the hall has collapsed for the most part, and there are dense ancient trees everywhere, as well as vines running between the ancient trees and the hall.

The grand and desolate decline, with a breath of extremely long history, makes people shudder.

Where is this? How did I suddenly get here?

Jiang Yao thought about it and guessed that there should be a natural teleportation array in the dense stone forest at that time. The power of the giant tiger stimulated the natural teleportation array, and he was teleported here.

According to Deng Jiu, the space of Fanshan is disordered, and there are many natural arrays, especially killing arrays and trapping arrays. I didn't expect there is a natural teleportation array.

But after being teleported here, Jiang Yao felt relieved. At least, he was away from Deng Jiu's gang and escaped from the clutches temporarily.

Although this place is desolate and ancient, Jiang Yao has never been afraid, but he likes it very much. He is an "archaeology expert".

Jiang Yao took out the spirit stone that Jiang Cai had given him, and after using two of them, he recovered his true essence. Only then did he feel relieved to look around the ancient abandoned hall.

His spiritual sense carefully swept out, and soon he showed a look of surprise.

In a stone hall somewhere inside, there was a naked baby on the ground, covered only with a small piece of clothing, crawling on the ground.

Is this a villain?

It's not a villain. It's actually a normal human baby.

Huh? How could there be a human baby here? Could it be that someone had abandoned it?

Jiang Yao walked in carefully with a knife, and found that this stone hall seemed to have been destroyed by someone just now, with broken stones and rubble all over the ground, a mess.

A beautiful lotus-colored long skirt quietly fell nearby. Next to the long skirt, there was a pair of women's boots decorated with pearls, and snow-white and dust-free socks. Looking more closely, there was even a colorful hairpin.

Why is there a set of women's clothes here?

Could it be that the owner of the clothes had changed clothes here? Or, was her body eaten by some evil creature?

Jiang Yao turned to look at the baby and found that the baby was looking at him with horror.

The baby was about one year old, and looked very beautiful. Jiang Yao was sure that this was a real human baby. Although it was a bit strange to have a baby here, Jiang Yao still felt pity.

The mother of the baby was probably dead.
