The ink smoke that obscured the view disappeared, and nothing changed in the small ruined temple. Not long ago, Xingjun's body lay quietly behind the Sansheng Cauldron, exuding a faint golden glow.
Ning Tao walked quickly to the door, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the small ruined temple.
Outside the door is a mountain forest shrouded in thick fog. In the distance is a stretch of rolling mountain peaks, and I don’t know where they will extend.
The small ruined temple is located in a cave on a hillside. It cannot be seen from the stone walls on the left and right sides.
This was a completely unfamiliar place. Ning Tao didn’t even know if he had arrived at the Great Stele Valley. He stepped back and said, “Chong Er, is this the Great Stele Valley?”
Chong Er said: "No."
Ning Tao: "..."
Chong Er said: "But it's not far from the Great Stele Valley. I can't lock the Great Stele Valley and can only move to its vicinity. Ning Aiqing, if you go due south, you can see it about ten miles away. Big Monument Valley.”
Ning Tao said: "Then you move back to Immortal Burial City first, and then I will open the door and come back."
"It's accurate." Chong Er's response was simple.
Nanmen Xunxian, Tang Zixian, Immortal Fire Phoenix and Song Qingyin followed Ning Tao out of the small ruined temple, and the door of the small ruined temple was closed.
Up north and down south, due south is the direction down the hillside. It was not far away for more than ten miles, not even out of the area shrouded in thick fog. If what Chong Er said is correct, then it actually moved to a hillside next to the Big Monument Valley.
Ning Tao jumped up onto a tree and opened his eyes to look down at the dense fog-shrouded area in the valley.
A strange situation occurred. His sight was unable to penetrate the thick fog and see the image in the valley. There seemed to be an energy barrier deep in the valley more than ten miles away, blocking his sight. In his celestial eye state, he could see innate aerospace fields of various sizes and shapes in the surrounding forests of inexplicable animals and insects, but no innate aerospace fields appeared deep in the valley.
This situation is not normal at all. You must know that it is dark night, and the innate weather field of animals and insects is as bright as a lantern, and it will be very obvious for more than ten miles.
"Husband, did you find anything?" Tang Zixian's voice.
Ning Tao jumped down from the tree crown and returned to the four women: "Chong Er is right. We are now on the north slope of Dashi Valley. We can reach Dashi Valley by walking more than ten miles south. . Chong Er said that there is a magic circle guarding that place, which is true. I can’t even see what’s inside.”
Song Qingyin said: "Such a place is not suitable for building a military camp at all. Arisias really has a conspiracy."
"Qingyin, tell me what conspiracy Arisias has?" Tang Zixian asked.
"I..." Song Qingyin couldn't say it, but she said cleverly: "Please ask Mrs. Tang to clear up the confusion. Mrs. Tang is the military advisor beside the master."
Tang Zixian smiled: "I don't know now, husband, let's go and take a look."
"Well, let's go, be careful on the road." Ning Tao walked at the front of the team.
Going down the hillside, the forest was extremely humid, and the ground was covered with dead branches and leaves. It looked like a flat ground, but you could sink your feet when you stepped on it. After walking for a while, the forest was filled with bubbling swamps, and there was a rotting smell in the mist.
"Forget it, let's fly there." Ning Tao gave up walking. He chose to walk because he wanted to see more carefully, but now it seems that this road is impossible to walk at all.
But before he and the four women could take action, a ball of mud suddenly emerged from the quagmire in front of him, and then a large crocodile, weighing at least several thousand kilograms, jumped out of the mud, opened its mouth and bit Song, who was the weakest. Light tone.
Song Qingyin was so frightened that she couldn't move her legs to dodge.
Ning Tao pushed with his right palm, and the gun shot out of the flesh of his palm, plunged into the crocodile's mouth with a pop, and then came out from the back of its head. He shook his head and the crocodile's head exploded, sending brains and skull fragments flying everywhere.
The crocodile's body fell into the quagmire and slowly sank. What kind of crocodile was it? It was just a cow covered in crocodile skin, so hideous and terrifying. In fact, if the crocodile hadn't grown too ferocious and suddenly appeared to attack, Song Qingyin wouldn't have been frightened. With her strength, it would have been very easy to kill the crocodile.
"Qingyin, are you okay?" Ning Tao asked with concern.
Song Qingyin finally came back to her senses: "Master, I'm fine."
Wow!
Another big crocodile emerged from the mud next to it.
In the blink of an eye, one crocodile after another emerged from the swamp and surrounded them. A pair of crocodile eyes glowed with blood, which was very scary.
These crocodiles are not ordinary crocodiles, they are spiritual crocodiles that evolved by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They are much larger than the crocodiles on the earth, and some are even dozens of times larger.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of dull footsteps came, and giant crocodiles that were as big as whales appeared, with two eyes like blood-colored lanterns, and a mouth full of sharp teeth flashing with cold light. I'm afraid it could eat even a tank!
The king of spiritual crocodiles appears.
Thousands of spiritual crocodiles lowered their heads and made a sound: "Snoring, snoring..."
The roaring sound mixed with the fishy smell rushed over, and this scene made people's scalp numb.
Ning Tao was about to say something, but the Immortal Fire Phoenix had already said it before him: "Feng Lang, leave it to me."
Ning Tao nodded. Although it was unnecessary, he still said: "Be careful, my dear wife."
"Snort!" The Spirit Crocodile King roared angrily, and rushed towards Ning Tao and his group. As he ran, mud was splashed, trees were broken, and the entire ground was shaking.
The immortal fire phoenix walked towards him.
boom!
Flames burst out from her body, the quagmire under her feet dried up instantly, and the poisonous miasma was dispersed.
"Qiang!" The Immortal Fire Phoenix also roared.
Huang Ming!
The flames on her body also gathered into the shape of a phoenix, igniting the surrounding trees as if they were about to flap their wings and fly.
The Spirit Crocodile King hurriedly stopped and roared: "Hulu... Hulu..."
Thousands of spiritual crocodiles seemed to have received instructions from the king of spiritual crocodiles, and they rushed back.
The Immortal Fire Phoenix walked towards the Spirit Crocodile King.
The King of Spirit Crocodiles prostrated.
The Immortal Fire Phoenix walked to the side of the Spirit Crocodile King and put his hand on the Spirit Crocodile King's forehead.
A puff of green smoke rose from the forehead of the Spirit Crocodile King, and a smell of burnt flesh filled the air.
The Immortal Fire Phoenix raised his hand, and there was a rune mark on the forehead of the Spirit Crocodile King. The rune mark looked like a flame.
The immortal fire phoenix screamed at the king of spiritual crocodiles, but it was a clanging sound over and over again, and no one on Ning Tao's side could understand it. However, it seemed that the Immortal Fire Phoenix had already suppressed the King of Spirit Crocodiles, otherwise the huge creature would not have been able to lie down in front of her like a dog and allow her to carve a rune mark on its forehead.
"Husband, what is she doing?" Nanmen Xunxian asked.
Ning Tao shook his head slightly: "I don't know either, but it seems we don't have to worry about being harassed by these crocodiles anymore."
"She is so amazing." Nanmen Xunxian's eyes revealed a hint of envy.
Ning Tao smiled and said: "You are also very powerful."
Nanmen Xunxian smiled.
At this time, the Immortal Fire Phoenix turned back and said: "Husband, I told it that we are going to the Great Stele Valley, and it is willing to take us there. Come here, we stand on its back, and it will carry us there."
Ning Tao said in surprise: "Can you still understand its words?"
The Immortal Fire Phoenix pointed at the flame rune mark on the forehead of the Spirit Crocodile King: "I couldn't understand it originally, but I can understand it through it."
Ning Tao led Nanmen Xunxian, Tang Zixian and Song Qingyin towards the Immortal Fire Phoenix and the Spirit Crocodile King. The ground was originally a quagmire, but where the Immortal Fire Phoenix walked, a path was burned out, and the surface was like a brick made of clay.
The Immortal Fire Phoenix jumped on the back of the Spirit Crocodile King, and then extended its hand to Ning Tao.
Ning Tao thought he could jump up, but he still stretched out his hand and let her pull him up onto the back of the Spirit Crocodile King. He didn't want her to think he had a change of heart just because he refused her pull, otherwise it would be bad for the couple to fight.
After getting on the Spirit Crocodile's back, Ning Tao reached out and pulled Nanmen Xunxian and Tang Zixian up, and the Immortal Fire Phoenix pulled Song Qingyin up again. A family of four and a serious female disciple stood on the back of the Spirit Crocodile King, but the back was so wide that it could accommodate at least a hundred people.
The Immortal Fire Phoenix said: "Let's go."
"Snoring." The Spirit Crocodile King turned his huge body and walked towards the south. Mud was splashed and trees were broken wherever he passed.
Behind the king of spiritual crocodiles, thousands of spiritual crocodiles followed, and the scene was spectacular.
No wonder those who explore and hunt for treasure never come back. There are so many spiritual crocodiles. Even if ordinary immortals can kill a few, they can't resist a group attack and are buried in the belly of the crocodile.
"Sister Huohuang, how did you make her become so obedient?" Tang Zixian asked curiously.
The Immortal Fire Phoenix said: "General spiritual beasts will listen to me. In their eyes, I am their natural queen. I originally planned to kill it, but it begged for mercy. I think we also need a guide to lead the way. So I left it alive.”
Tang Zixian sincerely praised: "My sister is really amazing."
This is actually quite normal.
Birds pay homage to the phoenix, and the phoenix is the king of birds. Although the crocodile is an oviparous animal, not a bird, how can it dare to go against the phoenix? In the world of spiritual beasts, the dragon is the king, and the phoenix is also the king. This is a kind of worship of strength and identity, regardless of whether it is a bird or not.
Ning Tao said: "My dear wife, ask it about the Great Bei Valley and see what it knows."
The Immortal Fire Phoenix nodded, and then said: "How long have you been here, and what is there in the Great Monument Valley?"
A series of purring sounds came out of the Spirit Crocodile King's mouth.
The Immortal Fire Phoenix then said: "It said it has been here for more than three thousand years, but it has never entered the Great Monument Valley and does not know the situation inside."
Ning Tao said in surprise: "It has lived here for more than three thousand years, but it has never entered the Dashi Valley. Ask it why."
The Immortal Fire Phoenix then asked again: "Why didn't you go in?"
Another series of purring sounds came from the mouth of the Spirit Crocodile King.
The grunting crocodile language could be understood by the Immortal Fire Phoenix through the flame mark, but Ning Tao, Nanmen Xunxian, Tang Zixian and Song Qingyin were just listening to heavenly scriptures.
