It was impossible to calculate the exact distance, but Ning Tao estimated that he ran about seventy or eighty kilometers while looking in the direction of the golden star. After that, he finally saw a different scene.
It was a large blood-colored mountain, tens of thousands of meters high. The top of the mountain could not be seen, but it was judged to be a ring-shaped mountain. The mountain peak was shrouded in a blood-colored thick fog from halfway up, giving it a mysterious and terrifying aura.
But this is still not the end, and there is no holy palace in sight.
"Climb up and have a look." Ning Tao made up his mind and ran towards the ringed mountain after a short rest.
It would be nice if there was a map, but unfortunately there isn't.
After about ten kilometers, Ning Tao arrived at the area near the foot of the mountain.
A trench blocked in front of Ning Tao. The trench was more than twenty meters wide. He couldn't jump over it like he had come all the way over those trenches.
He came to the edge of the trench and looked down. There was blood-colored water in the trench, flowing slowly like a river. The blood-colored water is opaque, so you can't clearly see how deep it is.
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Ning Tao's mouth. In the past, let alone such a river that was more than 20 wide, he could fly across the entire Milky Way in a swish. When we got here, we still had to worry about how to cross a river that was more than 20 meters wide.
"This water is poisonous. You can't swim across it, right? You finally got here. If you get poisoned and drown in the river, it would be very embarrassing." Ning Tao said to himself.
The co-lord of the three realms, the god who was destined to send his son, left the universe he dominated and drowned in a small river. This story will probably be laughed at by all the creatures in the universe for 100 million years, right
Suddenly there was a rustling sound behind him.
Ning Tao's heart suddenly became alert, but after all, he was a grassroots god king who had fought all the way from the mortal world to the sacred mountain. He had gone through countless battles, large and small, and had killed countless enemies of various levels. , has long since developed the ability to remain calm and remain calm the more dangerous the situation is.
Looking back
Most people would do this, but Ning Tao didn't. He still kept facing the bloody river, looking down at the river, as if he didn't hear the sound behind him.
The sound of sneaking barefoot on the grass was actually not obvious, but this magical and mysterious space was so quiet that even the slightest sound would be obvious.
In fact, Ning Tao not only heard the footsteps of the person sneaking toward him, he even heard the person's breathing.
The other person's breathing was a little short, and it was obvious that he was nervous.
"Oh, the river is so wide and I don't know how deep it is. How can I get across?" Ning Tao said to himself.
The person behind him suddenly exerted force and rushed toward Ning Tao.
Ning Tao still didn't move. When the man's palm was about to push his back, he suddenly took a step sideways. After getting out of the way, he grabbed the man's wrist, used his strength, and pushed forward violently. .
A white-haired old man flew out from behind Ning Tao and fell into the river with a bang.
The river was actually not deep. The old man struggled in the water and got up. The water only covered his waist.
Ning Tao jumped up, flew over the old man's head, then stepped hard on his head with his right foot, jumped up again, flew over the kneading surface of more than ten meters, and landed on the slope of the trench. He grabbed the bloody weeds on the slope and climbed up the trench in a few clicks using his hands and feet.
The old man had just gotten up, but Ning Tao stepped into the river again. When Ning Tao climbed up the slope and turned around, he got up from the bloody water again.
This gray-haired old man still looks a lot like Bai Xuzi, but his white hair has been dyed red by blood and is spread over his shoulders and face, making him look particularly ferocious.
"You are so bold and arrogant!" the old man roared angrily. In his golden eyes, the look was like a knife or a fire. He wanted to chop Ning Tao into pieces and burn him to ashes!
Ning Tao smiled: "Senior, why were you so careless and fell into the river? Do you want me to pull you up?"
The old man walked towards Ning Tao and waded into the water. As he walked, he said angrily: "Do you know who I am? How dare you cheat on me!"
As expected, this old man is of course also the Lord of the Three Realms, and a self-centered and ill-tempered Lord of the Three Realms. It was clear that he was the one who launched the sneak attack just now, but now he is accusing Ning Tao of plotting against him. Judging from his current emotional state, if this was the universe he dominated, Ning Tao would probably have been killed by the nine tribes.
Ning Tao was still not angry, and while observing the old man's reaction, he said: "Old sir, what you said is wrong. If you hadn't wanted to push me into the river from behind, how could you have fallen into the river again? "
The old man became angry and shouted: "Shut up!"
Ning Tao smiled: "Okay, I pushed you into the river, so what? You wanted to push me into the river, so I just let you cross the river, and by the way, I checked whether the water in the river was poisonous, by the way. , how do you feel now?"
"I am the Lord of the Three Realms!"
"What a coincidence, I am also the Lord of the Three Realms."
"You... Poof!" Before the old man could finish his sentence, a mouthful of golden blood spurted out from his mouth.
This is not because of anger, but because of poisoning.
This blood is indeed poisonous!
Ning Tao was secretly lucky that he didn't risk crossing the river.
Although there is a little blood-colored water on the grass, it only touches the soles of the feet, and the soles of the feet are calloused and are not easily poisoned. Coupled with constant running, the blood on the soles of the feet will be rubbed away by the grass, making it even less likely to be poisoned. But soaking half of your body in this blood is another matter. For men, some areas are not protected by skin. If they are immersed in toxic water, it is equivalent to direct contact with toxins.
"This water... is indeed poisonous... Poof!" Before he could finish his sentence, the old man spat out another mouthful of blood. His blood was no longer so golden, but had a very obvious color.
This is already an obvious reaction to poisoning.
The toxin spread so quickly that Ning Tao never expected.
"You...come on...pull me up...I'll give you a big blessing..." The old man's voice was trembling. In this moment, the arrogant and domineering momentum just now was gone.
Ning Tao stood on the slope, stretched out a hand seriously, and said loudly: "Hurry, grab my hand, and I will pull you up."
The old man actually extended his hand, but his and Ning Tao's hands were at least twenty meters away. He was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something, and his hand dropped weakly. He looked at the young man standing on the slope, his eyes wanting to eat the young man alive.
"If you don't want me to pull you away, forget it. By the way, did you stay here because of the river? Did you see anyone climbing up that mountain?" Ning
Thao asked.
Although I pushed you into the river, even though I stepped on your head to cross the river, I still want to use the waste to find the last bit of value in you.
The old man was swaying in the water, and he might fall down at any time, but he still managed to hold on: "You... pull me up, and I will tell you..."
Ning Tao said: "You tell me first, and then I will pull you up."
"Pull me up first... Hurry!" The old man could no longer hold on.
Ning Tao smiled: "I insisted on asking you to speak before I pulled you up. I have plenty of time to wait for you to think clearly before I talk, but do you have time?"
The old man hesitated for two seconds, couldn't hold it anymore, and said in a trembling voice: "Someone passed by, several people..."
Gudong!
Before he finished his sentence, the old man fell into the river and floated down the river.
He probably knew that Ning Tao wouldn't pull him up even if he told her, but he didn't want to give up even if it was a ten thousandth chance.
An ant can still survive, let alone the Lord of the Three Realms who dominates a universe
The old man's body didn't float very far in the river before it reached the shore and stopped.
In just such a short time, the old man's body had begun to decompose. The first thing to be decomposed was the skin. The pale skin melted into the blood, then the flesh and blood, and finally the internal organs and bones. In the blink of an eye, it was completely gone, not even a grain of flesh was left.
Ning Tao watched the whole process and was horrified.
If he had rashly crossed the river as soon as he arrived, it would be him, not the old man, who would sink to the bottom of the river at this moment.
This old man's divine blood was wasted, otherwise he would definitely drink the old man's divine blood and become stronger. If he becomes stronger, then the river in front of him will not be an obstacle.
But he is not in a hurry. He will definitely encounter a lot of seeds along the way, and there are still many opportunities.
Ning Tao's eyes moved to the ring-shaped mountain, and he secretly said in his heart: "A few people together, don't they know that only one person can get that chance of rebirth? If they knew, then they might form an alliance, Join forces to kill the competitors on the road, and then kill each other. I have to be careful to avoid those people, otherwise it will be very dangerous for them to find me.”
He continued walking towards the ringed mountain.
He didn't go far before he found footprints. Some blood grass was trampled and faint footprints were left on the ground. Judging from the footprints on the ground, there were five people in the group, and one of them was very tall. The footprints left on the ground were particularly obvious and much larger than the other footprints.
However, after seeing the figure of "Hulk" Al Luo, he felt that it was nothing.
Unexpectedly, Aluluo was now running hundreds of miles in the opposite direction. Suddenly thinking of him, Ning Tao felt somewhat guilty. Compared to the two bad old men he met along the way, the Hulk Al Luo can be considered a good person. They asked for directions and nodded to him to thank him, but these two guys were thinking about how to kill him, and they were all doing it behind the scenes.
Ning Tao followed the footsteps to the foot of the ring-shaped mountain. He looked up and saw that the hillside was sloping upwards. Halfway up the mountain, there was blood mist and no one could be seen. The footprints of those people extended up the hillside, and they must have climbed halfway up the mountain, or even to the top of the mountain.
Ning Tao thought for a moment, avoided the footprints, and walked sideways for a while before climbing up the hillside.
