Chapter 803: Shadow in the Mountain
Finally, the old man took a deep breath and said:
"Staying here is just waiting to die."
"Now that the curse has been lifted, we should start a new life again."
The other villagers also nodded in agreement.
They have been here for too long.
So long that they don't need to bring anything with them to get going.
Li Yang and his companions also left the long-destroyed village before these villagers.
After leaving the village, they found that the surrounding environment became even more weird.
Strange lights flashed in the sky from time to time, and inexplicable cracks appeared on the ground from time to time.
"Next...where should we go?"
Li Yang asked in a low voice.
Yunyouzi pointed to a looming mountain in the distance:
"That mountain gives me a strange feeling."
"And according to the information shown in the mirror just now, there are many green plants around Zhang Hui."
"Within a radius of 100 miles, only over there can you see a little life."
"Maybe, we can find a way to leave here there."
Just then, a deafening roar suddenly sounded in the sky.
The two looked up and saw a huge dragon-shaped creature hovering in the air.
The flying dragon was pitch black, and its eyes emitted a strange red light.
Its body was constantly twisting and deforming, as if it would collapse at any time.
"Is this a... dragon eroded by the power of chaos?"
Li Yang raised his head in surprise and asked in confusion.
Yunyouzi nodded:
"The creatures here cannot escape the influence of the power of chaos."
"We have to be careful, this kind of eroded creature is extremely dangerous."
As soon as the voice fell, the flying dragon seemed to notice the movement on the ground.
It swooped down with a sharp hiss.
"Get out of the way!"
Yunyouzi snorted.
Li Yang dodged slightly to the side, and the dragon crashed into the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
When the dust cleared, everyone found that the dragon did not chase them, but twisted in pain on the spot.
Its body began to dissolve and turned into a pool of black mucus.
"This is..."
Li Yang's pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't believe what he saw.
Yunyouzi said in a deep voice:
"The power of chaos not only erodes its body, but also constantly consumes its vitality."
"And this is the end of being completely eroded by chaos..."
"All things in the world are created by the way of heaven, and they will also follow the guidance of the way of heaven and continue to develop backwards."
"Survival or destruction is determined by the thought of the way of heaven."
"Since the creator who constitutes everything has fallen into madness..."
"As His creation, life will also fall into madness."
Li Yang looked at the once majestic flying dragon turning into a pool of black water, and a chill rose in his heart.
This is the truth of the land of chaos...
A terrible world that constantly devours life.
At this moment, Li Yang suddenly noticed that something seemed to be flashing in the pool of black water.
He slowly approached and found that it was a crystal the size of a scale.
"This is..."
Li Yang was about to reach out to take it, but was stopped by Yunyouzi.
"If it still retains its most basic form, then this thing is very likely to be a dragon ball..."
"That is, the essence of this dragon."
Yun Youzi warned,
"However, things that have been corroded by the power of chaos cannot be easily touched."
As he said, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and carefully put the crystal in it.
"This thing may be helpful to you and me."
"Keep it for now."
Yun Youzi handed the thing to Li Yang casually,
"When we find a safe place, we will study it carefully."
In this way, the two continued to move towards the mysterious mountain.
Along the way, the scene corroded by chaos was in full view in front of the two.
Twisted and deformed trees, flowers emitting strange light, schools of fish floating in the air...
Every scene was creepy, as if the whole world was trapped in an eternal nightmare.
However, just as they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, an unexpected discovery stunned the two.
There is a huge palace on the mountainside!
The palace is magnificent and magnificent, forming a sharp contrast with the desolate and strange scene around it.
"Is that... the palace of Daxia Kingdom?"
Li Yang seemed to have seen similar buildings in the mirror just now.
Yunyouzi nodded:
"It seems to be right... but why is it here?"
Even if we put aside the picture we just saw in the mirror.
The scene in front of us is also a bit strange.
From a realistic point of view, such a large building complex is generally built on the plain.
It is impossible to place it in a staggered manner among the mountains like this.
The two looked at each other, full of doubts in their hearts.
The appearance of this palace seems to indicate something.
However, what is waiting for them, no one knows.
"Go up and take a look?"
Li Yang asked in a low voice.
Yunyouzi pondered for a moment and nodded:
"Since we are here, we have to find out."
"But we have to be careful, everything here cannot be trusted."
The two began to climb up along the mountain road. As the distance got closer, the outline of the palace became clearer.
The magnificent palaces and the eaves with carved beams and painted rafters all show the glory of the former empire.
However, in this chaotic land, this splendor seems particularly abrupt and weird.
Just as they were about to reach the palace gate, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew.
Li Yang felt a flash in front of his eyes, and when he regained his consciousness, the scene in front of him had changed drastically.
In front of the palace gate, which was originally empty, there were two rows of guards standing at this moment.
These guards were wearing ancient armor, holding long halberds, and standing straight ahead.
What was even more surprising was that their bodies were translucent, like ghosts.
"Is this... an illusion?" Li Yang rubbed his eyes subconsciously.
Yunyouzi shook his head: "I'm afraid not... The time and space here have been distorted, and the boundary between the past and the present has become blurred.
What we see is probably the scene when the Great Xia Kingdom was destroyed."
At this moment, the guards suddenly shouted in unison:
"Who trespassed into the palace?"
Li Yang and Yunyouzi looked at each other, Yunyouzi stepped forward and bowed:
"I am Yunyouzi, and this Li Yang, are visiting monks from other places. I wonder if you can inform them and allow us to meet the king of your country?"
The guards didn't seem to hear Yunyouzi's words, but repeated the question just now:
"Who trespassed into the palace?"
Li Yang frowned and said:
"These people are either blind or stupid."
Yunyouzi also nodded, as if he had seen the problem:
"These are just images of the past... Let's go in directly, anyway, they can't stop us."
As they said, the two walked straight through the "guards" and walked into the palace gate.
The scene inside the palace was even more shocking.
