"Dear King of Persia, my master, the tomb of the gods is down there, but if you go down there, you will definitely offend the gods. I'm worried..." It was the short, thin, red-eyed old man who spoke.
Xerxes withdrew his gaze from the abyss. He looked at the red-eyed old man and said in a low and hoarse voice: "I am the king of destiny, blessed by the gods. If the immortal torch is in the tomb of the gods, even if it offends a god, it will There are many gods to protect me, and I am willing to pay this price. Abushan, there is no need to remind me of the consequences, I can come here in person, I just want the results.”
"Then let's get started." The red-eyed old man known as Abu Shan said, and then waved his hand.
A group of exaggeratedly strong black warriors carried several boxes towards the edge of the cliff, and the guards of Xerxes' undead army moved out of the way.
Several boxes were opened.
Ning Tao carefully adjusted the angle of his eyes and moved his gaze to the boxes. He saw loops of ropes.
On the broken waterfall, the boxes he overlooked were the boxes he saw now. At that time, he thought they contained treasures, but he did not expect them to be ropes.
However, considering the situation at hand, if these boxes contain gold and silver vessels, emerald agate or other treasures, it would be abnormal, and the ropes would be normal.
Several strong men connected the ropes inside the box, fixed one end to a rock, and then threw the other end into the abyss.
One after another, the guards of the undead army grabbed the rope and slid down the abyss, but Ning Tao did not dare to change his position and look. He has tried to move in the past time and space more than once, but even a single movement of raising his feet will shatter the past time and space. The secret hidden in the past time and space in front of him was so important that he didn't dare to try it at all.
In the future, the complete Xunzu Dan may change this situation, but not now.
A strongman pushed a girl in black to the edge of the cliff. There were tears in her eyes and she looked very nervous and scared.
Xerxes came to the girl in black, reached out from his waist and pulled out a Persian dagger studded with precious stones.
"Don't... don't..." the girl in black begged.
Xerxes waved his hand and slit the girl's throat with the Persian dagger in his hand. Then he pushed the girl into the abyss and said expressionlessly: "Go down, Abshan, and bring me the immortal torch and the black fire oil."
Abu Shan nodded, came to the edge of the cliff, and prepared to descend from the rope.
But at this moment, a terrifying roar suddenly came from under the abyss, and then there was the sound of someone screaming. The rope tied to the rock trembled violently and broke in an instant.
There were at least dozens of undead army guards on that rope, and they just disappeared inexplicably. Even if they are not buried in the monster's mouth, they will fall to their death in the abyss.
Rumble…
A deafening sound suddenly came from the abyss. The sound was like thousands of troops running and charging in the abyss canyon.
"Kill-" Suddenly someone roared, and the voice had the momentum to penetrate the sky.
There was a rumbling sound and the whole cliff suddenly shook!
Xerxes suddenly became nervous: "Abshan, what is coming?"
"Yes... let's go!" Abshan suddenly grabbed Xerxes' hand and ran into the passage. He didn't say what was coming. But judging from his reaction, he probably didn't know either.
Xerxes and Abshan disappeared from sight in a flash, never to be seen again.
Ning Tao could feel the cliff under his butt shaking. Although he knew clearly that this happened in the past, he still couldn't help but feel nervous.
The strong men also ran into the passage and were out of sight.
The cliff was originally crowded with people, but now Ning Tao was the only one left. He maintained a posture with his back to the cliff. The reason why he used this posture to enter the past time and space was to observe Xerxes and the people around him. If his back is to the passage and he cannot turn back, he can only hear sounds but not see people. He sat like this out of careful consideration, but now because of this posture with his back to the abyss, he couldn't see the situation under the cliff, so he could only worry in a hurry.
"Kill -" the voice shouting kill came again, this time very close.
Boom!
Amidst the terrifying sound of thousands of troops galloping, the ground on the cliff shook even more violently, giving people the terrifying feeling that they were experiencing an eight-magnitude earthquake and would collapse at any time.
Ning Tao felt very nervous and secretly said in his heart: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, no matter what it is, it will not hurt me. I am in another time and space..."
But at this moment, the rumbling sound of terror disappeared, and the voice calling for death stopped shouting.
Ning Tao's eyes fell on the ground in front of him, and he saw huge shadows. It was obviously the reflection of something on the ground, but the shape was very blurry and it was just huge, so it was impossible to tell what the reflection was.
That thing was right behind Ning Tao, but it didn't chase into the passage, nor did it move around.
Ning Tao was filled with surprise and confusion: "The noise just now was like thousands of troops charging, and some people were shouting to kill, but this figure was not the shadow of an army at all, not even a human being..."
He could hear voices and it was because of the Whisperers. In the real world, he has a language barrier, so he only understands Chinese and English, and his English level is very average. But in the past time and space, through the Whisperer, he has never encountered language barriers until now. He can even understand the language of the Yinyue people, and just now he understood Persian. Just now, the voice calling for death was also in a strange language that he had never heard before, but through the reception and "translation" of the whisperer, he understood it.
But this was what confused him. The voice was obviously a person, but the guy covering his body and leaving a large shadow on the ground was obviously not a human being.
If it's not a human being, what is it
But before Ning Tao could sort out a reliable judgment, the most stable and longest past time and space constructed this time suddenly started to tremble. Based on previous experience, he knew that even if he didn't move, the past time and space would collapse. Just when the signs of collapse began to appear, he suddenly turned his head and looked back.
Wow!
The past time and space collapsed instantly, like a mirror that was suddenly smashed, scattered all over the ground, but nothing was left on the ground.
Ning Tao kept turning his head and looking back, motionless, with a strange expression on his face.
Just now, he was sure that he looked back at the cliff before time and space completely collapsed in the past, but...
He saw nothing. After a long while, Ning Tao got up from the ground and collected the tools for the "dojo", including the time tower, the tree board, a large piece of cloud ore, and the small porcelain bottle containing the fourth version of the ancestor-seeking pill. He came to the edge of the cliff, looked down, and used the refined tactical flashlight in his hand to shine on the rock wall, looking for a path down.
In his mind, he replayed everything he had just seen and heard, and he was also thinking: "Xerxes died in a palace coup in history. It was his prime minister who killed him. He did not die here. That Abushan should have successfully taken him out of here..."
The refined tactical flashlight suddenly stopped at a place under the cliff, which was a rock protruding from the cliff. There was a broken rope and a skeleton on it. The bones of the skeleton's legs and one arm were broken, apparently after falling.
The skeleton was not that of a man. The bones were slender, and the structure of the pelvic bone was also characteristic of a woman.
The girl in black whose throat was cut by Xerxes suddenly appeared in Ning Tao's mind. She did not fall into the abyss, but fell on the protruding rock.
Xerxes obviously sacrificed her to some god as a sacrifice, but today, more than two thousand years later, her death is meaningless. The monster or something guarding this place obviously had no interest in her as a sacrifice, otherwise it would not have allowed her body to rot on that rock and turn into white bones.
Ning Tao picked up a stone weighing hundreds of kilograms and threw it off the cliff, then used a tactical flashlight to shine in the direction of the stone's fall. But the stone disappeared in a blink of an eye, and there was no sound from the stone falling to the ground. The place where the tactical flashlight's beam reached was pitch black, as if it was swallowing not only the stone, but also the light.
"Is there anyone there?" Ning Tao yelled at the top of his lungs.
No one—
Someone is—
People—
ah…
The abyss was full of echoes, but there was no other movement except the layers of echoes.
Ning Tao threw rocks down and roared like a maniac, in order to attract the potential opponents guarding this place. If it was some undead army from the underworld or a ferocious beast, he would open the door and run away.
In that past time and space, Xerxes sent the soldiers of the Undead Army, cut the throat of the girl in black, and pushed her down as a sacrifice. Then there was the sound of thousands of troops and horses below, and There were sounds of killing. It stands to reason that if he made such a big noise, if there really was an army of undead from the underworld that could charge upwards on a 90-degree vertical cliff, or some ferocious beast that could make a human voice, it would be time to come out, right
But, it just didn’t happen.
Ning Tao roared a few more times, but there was still no movement in the abyss. He pondered for a few minutes, opened the small medicine box, took out the Tianci Tiansheng Bed, enlarged it and placed it on the ground, then sat cross-legged on the bed and put a strong holding talisman on his forehead.
There is no one to protect the Dharma, and there is a certain danger in the Nascent Soul leaving the body, but the God-given bed is the best Dharma protector. Invulnerable to water and fire, his magic power is indestructible. When it is activated, who else can climb into his bed except his woman
As he entered, the Nascent Soul came out, and the powerful holding talisman on his forehead turned into energy spots and merged into his Nascent Soul.
The next second, Nascent Soul dived towards the abyss. He wanted to see what was under the abyss!
