At the other end of the "Sleep of the Beast", the strong men from the empire are also climbing down one by one. In the farthest corner, Xu Lang was dressed in battle attire, and checked his equipment for the last time. This was the second time he went down, and he seemed much calmer than the others. Then he took a piece of paper from his coat pocket and slowly opened it.
It was a one-page list. The first one was Zhao Jundu, followed by Qianye, and most of the latter were young talents from the Feisheng Empire. These were the elites of the empire who had entered the "Sleep of Giant Beasts" so far. Xu Lang glanced from bottom to top, scanning each name, his eyes gradually ignited with a fighting spirit.
He crushed the paper in his palm, walked to the edge of the cliff, jumped, and disappeared into the vast mist.
In Qin Lu, the imperial capital, the bedroom of Jiaofang Palace, it was just the time when the lights were first lit.
A number of maids filed in, lighting candles as thick as a child's arm one after another. The jumping candlelight reflects the light and shadow of the magnificent palace beyond imagination, just like a dream.
A brocade couch was placed behind the glazed bead curtain, and a woman was sitting recliningly, with crow hair like a cloud, without a bun, winding down from her left shoulder like silk satin, barely touching the ground.
She just sat there, she was a landscape, no amount of luxurious decoration around her could take away her brilliance. It's just that there seems to be a faint cloud of mist on the beautiful and unearthly face, and there seems to be a hint of unconcealable sadness in the ripples in the depths of the eyes.
There was a big snow-white cat lying on her lap, and a pair of golden eyes followed the busy maids and servants around.
The big cat's fur is as white as snow, but the woman's hands seem to be a little whiter. Her ten fingers are breathtakingly long. When caressing the cat's body, it seems to be caressing in the heart of a person. Dig out and scratch a few.
She lowered her eyes and only looked at the big cat on her hands and knees, as if there was nothing else in the world that could distract her a little.
The big cat stretched, arched her hand with its head, and closed its eyes comfortably.
In every corner of the dormitory, there are candlesticks made of various decorations. All the maids in the palace were busy for a long time before lighting them up one by one. The whole process was silent, so quiet that the big cat meowed, which made people feel very loud.
Because everyone knows that the person who seems to be only in the painting likes quiet the most and fears noise the most. No one raised any objection to the luxury and many complicated rules of Jiaofang Palace, just because she is Empress Li, the harem lord of the Great Qin Empire.
The sky was getting darker, and the palace was shining brightly, as bright as daytime. With this kind of ancient lighting tool, there was no shadow in the hall, which shows the exquisite design and arrangement of those lamps.
This is also one of her heart problems: she can't see the dark.
At this time, very slight footsteps sounded outside the hall. An elderly servant took small steps, as if floating on water, without stopping all the way, until he came to the curtain, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Ma'am, Mr. Yan, please see me."
Empress Li finally raised her head, glanced at the servant through the curtain, and said, "Mr. Yan is the only one?"
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on the servant's forehead, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "Also, and... Mr. Kuanglan is also here. The old servant didn't mean to deceive the empress, but Mr. Kuanglan said that if If the old slave dares to utter a single word, he will have his head chopped off!"
Li Hou chuckled lightly and said, "Then you are not afraid that I will chop your head off?"
The servant immediately kowtowed desperately, and said anxiously: "This old slave is loyal, and the empress is kind-hearted, so I will not be willing to cut off this old slave's head."
Empress Li laughed, "You are the only one who is still loyal? Get out of here and remember to call them all up."
After a while, Mr. Yan and a young man walked into the hall. But this time, Mr. Yan, who had always been calm and calm even before the tsunami and landslide, also had helplessness and embarrassment on his face, and lowered his head, not daring to meet Queen Li's gaze.
But Empress Li didn't look at the young man next to him, just looked at Mr. Yan, and asked softly, "Mr. Yan, it's late at night, and you're still in a hurry to find me, what's the matter?"
When asked this question, Mr. Yan faltered and hesitated, unable to speak.
At this time, the young man next to him chuckled and said, "I forced him to bring me here. It's not his fault. How dare he not listen to my words?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately captured all the light in the hall to himself. He is tall and tall, half a head taller than Mr. Yan, with long hands and feet, and even more slender fingers.
He has a luxurious and gorgeous face that is almost seductive, especially a pair of soul-stirring eyes, almost exactly the same as Queen Li. It's just that Empress Li's eyes were full of smoky hallucinations, but his eyes were full of sharp sword intent.
If only talking about appearance, this young man can compete with Zhao Jundu. However, Zhao Jundu is beautiful and dignified, with a dragon and a phoenix appearance, as magnificent as the heavens, earth, mountains and rivers, but he is a monster that makes thousands of living beings shake their hearts.
Empress Li frowned slightly, and said in displeasure, "Alan, you're threatening people with your life again, aren't you? Mr. Yan is a very important person around me. Didn't I tell you earlier that this kind of person will never allow you?" Are you fooling around? Why, now you don't even listen to my words? "
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Yan's face was both grateful and ashamed.
However, Li Kuanglan didn't take it seriously, and showed a smile that made the candles in the hall pale, "What's the big deal? It's just to scare him, and I won't do it. Sis, I still know how to measure this. It's just that If he really doesn't know how to be funny, then he can't blame me for what he did."
Empress Li sighed, feeling a little helpless, and said, "Now that you've seen me, tell me, what do you want to do again? Put the words of this palace first, and if it's related to the Evernight Continent, don't mention it."
The young man smiled and said, "Sister is amazing, I'm going to go to the Sleep of the Beast once."
Empress Li seemed to have some headaches. She rubbed her forehead with her hand and sighed, "What are you doing there? It's a place of warfare and a place of great murder. After Lin Xitang's deduction, he was so backlashed that he was bedridden. His Majesty even ordered the emperor to be fired." A dedicated medicine storehouse to dispense medicines for him. Do you think that with your little ability, you can do whatever you want in it?"
"Hehe, the art of natural evolution is after all a way of taking chances. The words good and bad can also be turned by force. Marshal Boqian once said that the road is only for me, and we only need to go straight. I, Li Kuanglan, prefer these eight words. What's more, at this time of turmoil, I respect Tang Li and I should also make a move, otherwise the people in the world will think that in the great empire, only Zhao Jundu and Song Zining are outstanding people."
Empress Li remained silent, and asked after a long time, "What do you think, Mr. Yan?"
Mr. Yan smiled wryly, and said: "I think that even if the empress doesn't allow it, Mr. Kuanglan will definitely go. It's better to give the sword to Mr. Kuanglan, and it will be more profitable."
Empress Li sighed, and said, "This ancient essence, no matter what I say, I can get a share of it. Ah Lan, why are you doing this?"
Li Kuanglan's charming eyes were as sharp as a sword's edge, "I only get one share, so I can grab more and have more taste."
Eternal Night Continent, deep in the sleep of giant beasts.
Under Qianye's extraordinary vision, the stone forest and Juefeng in the distance showed their true colors. The spine of that unknown giant beast was so huge that its joints stretched into the sky, higher than the giant pillars of the stone forest, and it was mistaken for peaks.
Qianye sucked in a breath of cold air. Even a section of joint is so big, how huge should this giant beast be when it was alive
With a body of this size, he can only swim in the void. If it sets foot on the mainland, it will probably immediately crack the ground and crush the void, thus allowing the force of the void to leak to the land mass, forming a large-scale natural disaster.
Looking at the stone forest from a distance, Qianye suddenly saw a flash of light, which was exactly the ancient essence fragments he had seen before!
At this moment, perhaps due to being close enough, Qianye could already feel a little bit of the ancient essence's breath. Just this little aura made Qianye's original force float, and he seemed to realize something in his heart. The whole world seems to lift a corner of the veil, revealing a little bit of the mystery of the origin.
Qianye took a deep breath to suppress the shock in his heart. A little breath has such a miraculous effect, what if you really get the fragments? No wonder even the sky ghosts wanted to snatch the complete ancient essence.
At this time, a fire suddenly flickered in the distant sky, and a meteor fell from the sky and fell to the ground. At the same time as falling to the ground, a tyrannical aura burst out suddenly, and then quickly became weak, disappearing from Qianye's perception in the blink of an eye. Far away in the field of vision, a pillar of fire shot up into the sky and then went out.
This should be a strong man from Yongye's side who also entered this world, but his luck and strength are not very good, and he can't resist the oppression of the giant beast's will and the impact of falling to the ground. After burning out the last force, Just fell away.
Looking at the Burning Gold Blood that erupted at the end, this is a strong man at least at the Marquis level, who can also occupy the land in the vast and endless dark country, but now he has fallen here, and he has not even been close to the ancient essence.
Qianye has a new understanding of the dangers of this world.
Thinking of this world, Qianye was startled again, and looked up to the sky. There was actually a deep starry sky above his head, and at the end of his line of sight, he could see several huge shadows moving slowly.
This is not an independent space, but like the twenty-seven continents, floating in the void, it is a complete land. Could it be that his leap, that is, through the entire sleep of the giant beast, directly came to the world behind him? !
Qianye recalled his journey in the mist, but found nothing, so he calmed down his shock and slowly observed the surrounding environment. From here on, the information obtained by the two camps is no longer applicable, and you need to slowly explore on your own.
He opened the pupil of true seeing, took a little effort to scan around, and confirmed that the sky above his head was not a distorted illusion, and this place was really a landmass in the void. Looking at the shape of the asteroid belt in the field of view, it can be speculated that its size is far below the standard of a continent, and can only be called a larger island.
In the void between the lands, there are countless broken land masses like this, and there are simply too many to count. Most broken land masses are too small to survive on them.
And this landmass may be due to the existence of the will of giant beasts, at least where it can be seen, there are plants and beasts. It's just that the giant beast's will is everywhere, attacking every intelligent life on this land mass indiscriminately, and wanting to survive here for a long time is really beyond the reach of ordinary geniuses.
The Marquis of Darkness, who just fell before Qianye's eyes, used his own life to prove that in front of this giant void beast, the so-called powerhouses of the two camps are just a joke. Even if it had fallen for a long time, the remaining bit of will could easily kill the Marquis.
Since the Marquis of Darkness came in, there would be other people coming in, maybe someone was already exploring in the stone forest. Qianye didn't delay any longer, quickened his pace, and ran forward.
