The Eternal Life Island is quite large, with dense green forests covering the coast. In the forest are messy bushes, weeds, mushrooms, mosses and the like. There are also poisonous insects and snakes climbing on the trees, which is a restricted area for ordinary humans.
Of course, for this team from the secret martial arts world, it was obviously no big problem. The fighters' spirits diffused slightly from their body pores into the surrounding air, which had a strong early warning effect. Once there was danger or an attack was imminent, they would react with inhuman speed and counterattack. The poisonous snakes wrapped around the trees, whose skin and moss colors were exactly the same, had their heads blown up or crushed by fists.
Some people with great spirit didn't make any moves. They just strode forward with their heads down, as if they ignored the danger. However, wherever they passed, large groups of poisonous insects and snakes climbing on trees and lurking in the bushes were killed by their spirit. Some in the mud and under the rocks were not spared, and all turned into stiff corpses.
According to the humidity and temperature on the island, it is estimated that within two or three days, these poisonous insects and snakes will be completely decomposed by bacteria.
Tick-tick-tick… Tick-tick-tick…
The sound of receding footsteps could be heard in the woods. The people in the Secret Martial Arts Realm were unusually quiet as they hurried on their way, with only a few people occasionally whispering to each other.
After all, they are all the leaders and elders of various major sects. They have seen all the ups and downs in their youth and would not be as jumpy as young people.
Setting foot on the main island of immortality was only the first step. Finding the location of the ancient ruins was worth celebrating. Only after completely surviving the dangers and traps in the ancient ruins and obtaining the secret martial arts in the boxing arsenal could it be considered a complete success and celebration could begin. Before that, they had the same goal.
At the front, Kaxiu led his four men and the evil mother hiding in the dark, heading towards the interior of the Eternal Life Island. The location of the ancient ruins was exactly in the center of the Eternal Life Island.
Kaxiu had consulted the Book of the Devil and learned about the specific situation of the Eternal Life Island. The entire island is divided into the South Island and the North Island, which are separated by the sea, but there are some narrow places that can be passed through. In addition, there is an inner island on the Eternal Life Island, which is surrounded by rivers.
The ancient ruins are located on the inner island.
Thinking of this, Kaxiu touched the bronze key in his arms, which still exuded a cool and cold air. Whether he could avoid some dangers when entering the ancient ruins this time depended on this key. There was a secret passage inside the ancient ruins, which Kaxiu could open with the key. Then he went all the way down and directly arrived at an area very close to Nandou Shuiniaoquan. In this way, he could save time and skip traps.
Unfortunately, although the bronze key was obtained, the ancient bone tree was not in Kaxiu's place for the time being. Inside the ancient ruins, there was a danger that only the ancient bone tree could be completely immune to, and it could pass through that area safely. And Nandou Water Bird Fist was deep in that area, so it could be said that it was unavoidable.
"Black Rain Villa... hehe... you guys should be arriving soon..."
When Kaxiu thought of this, he suddenly smiled coldly with a deep look in his eyes.
Ta-ta-ta…
As time passed, the Secret Martial Arts team quickly entered the depths of the woods, and after an hour, they arrived at an open area.
This is a hill surrounded by water. The ups and downs are not big, only about ten meters. There are green grass and wild flowers on the hill, swaying slightly in the wind. It seems to be no different from normal terrain, but the sticky and rolling fog adds a touch of mystery to this place.
The hills were shrouded in white fog. I could see the outline of the lake, but I couldn't see anything further. There was a sense of emptiness and unknown.
"There is also such thick fog in the Aoyin ruins. Maybe there is some connection between the two?" Kaxiu thought to himself without stopping.
He stepped on the edge of the stream with his black boots and took a leap. He glided through a long arc in the air, his windbreaker fluttering like the wings of a flying bird. He crossed the stream and appeared directly on the top of the highest hillside, looking quietly into the distance.
Many fighters from the secret martial arts world also rushed over.
"That is..."
In the mist, at the bottom of the hill, huge stone statues were neatly arranged in the distance, with the lower half of their bodies standing quietly in the mud, and the upper half of their bodies severely weathered. The edges and corners were worn away, and the surface was extremely rough.
The stone statues were arranged in a row on the left and a row on the right, with a wide aisle in the middle, as if they were guarded by tall guards on both sides, waiting for the king's carriage to slowly pass through the middle of the road and be worshipped by his subjects.
"Is it something left behind by an ancient civilization?"
"Let's go and have a look..."
Soon, a group of fighters from the secret martial arts world walked towards the group of stone statues.
When they got closer, they realized how huge the stone statues were. They had to look up to see the top. Each stone was about seven or eight meters high, with rough outlines carved on it, showing the warriors' sturdiness. The heads of the stone statues were wearing something like helmets, making their heads look particularly large. At a glance, they were covered with moss.
Some are even used by birds to build nests and are covered with white bird droppings.
Kaxiu stood at the entrance of the wide road formed by stone statues, looking over quietly. For some reason, he felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, Kaxiu readjusted his mood.
One foot on the road.
Card…
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the stone statues on both sides of the road seemed to tremble and make a slight sound. But after paying close attention, I didn't feel any fluctuations in the breath. Kaxiu slowly approached one of the stone statues.
With a pinch of the fingers, the weathered rock shattered and turned into a pool of black powder.
I don’t know how long these stone statues have been here.
He lowered his head slightly and watched the dust in his hands fall like sand.
I vaguely sensed a strange sense of familiarity.
It was very strange. I had never seen it before, but it seemed like the body's instinct. Kaxiu slowly raised his head. The thin sunlight that penetrated the mist fell on the shoulders of the giant, making it look majestic and solemn.
After squinting his eyes and looking for a while, Kaxiu turned around and followed the main force.
Together with everyone from the Secret Martial Arts Realm, they passed through this stone statue road.
Silence returned here again, and the mist flowed slowly.
Kakakaka…
There were a series of cracking sounds on the stone surface. The colossi had broken stones falling off and mosses peeling off their backs. The pale roots underneath were exposed, like dense totemic tattoos, growing densely into the stone statues. They were squirming and bouncing, as if they had just issued some orders. But these controlled stone statues resisted silently.
It is not known whether they sensed Kaxiu's true aura and were too frightened to take action, or whether Kaxiu's presence made them reluctant to take action.
Kakakaka…
There was another sound of gravel breaking.
Two rows of tall colossi turned their heads to look in the direction Kashu had left. Under their severely weathered helmets and armor, pairs of scarlet eyes lit up. They stared at the thick fog with the gaze of ancient times.
It seems that one can see Kaxiu's back through the white mist.
"Devil..."
In the wind, a voice like a whisper gradually faded away.
An hour passed, on the other side of the hill.
The group of people from Black Rain Villa appeared here. They had obviously broken through the obstruction of the Ripple Master and entered the interior of the Eternal Island. Led by the Black Dragon of Khorne and the Ripple Master, they had no obstacles along the way and were moving very fast.
The main reason was Master Wave, who had lived on the Eternal Islands before and was very familiar with the terrain. So now he was a professional guide for the intruders, and he was faster than the sect.
At the front of the team, Master Ripple was wearing a slim-fitting black tuxedo, with wavy hair and an extremely delicately trimmed beard. He also wore a wide-brimmed tall hat that covered his eyebrows, revealing only his blue eyes.
It looks extremely showy, with a hint of elegance.
"We left the woods, and now there are two roads. If you go to the right of the hill, you will see a dangerous sea of flowers full of strange species, and the journey is a little longer. If you go to the left, the journey is much shorter, and there is a group of stone statues. There is no danger, just pass it quickly..."
Master Ripple looked at the thick fog rolling in the distance and spoke slowly.
Everyone believed what he said, after all, Master Ripple was a professional.
He was originally a ripple master from the Eternal Life Island and was said to have lived on the island for more than ten years. Later, he defected and was hunted down, and joined the Black Rain Villa.
"Let's go."
The Khorne Black Dragon took the lead and walked over. The rough metal armor on his body rubbed against each other, making a series of low sounds. The tattered black cloak hung on the ground, making him look like an ancient knight or general.
The team of Black Rain Villa this time is composed of top knights, each of whom is extraordinary and has various abilities. But the one who leads the way and takes the lead in facing the danger is the Black Dragon of Khorne. As he said before, he is good at fighting on land. He has solid feet, great strength, and the power of a mad dragon. His physique is the strongest in Black Rain Villa.
Tick-tick-tick… Tick-tick-tick…
A series of figures of the Night Evils crossed the hills and appeared at the intersection of the boulder passage. The whole team stepped in one after another, moving extremely quickly.
In less than a minute, half the distance had been covered.
"I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy..."
"It's a bit cold. Maybe there's too much moisture in this thick fog."
"Hurry up and go over there."
The group of Hellraiser monsters discussed in low voices, and their pace became faster and faster.
"Why do I feel like something is wrong?"
The Khorne Black Dragon, who was leading the way, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Master Ripple next to him: "Are you sure it's okay to take this road?"
"Of course. I always use this passage when I go from the inner island to the outer island and back. I have done this hundreds of times, and there has never been a problem..."
Master Ripple replied seriously.
"Let's go, don't be suspicious..."
“Bang!” “Pah!”
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud noise behind him, and the sticky sound of flesh and blood breaking. The two turned their heads and saw that the team of Black Rain Villa was in a commotion. At the back, a Night Evil was smashed into the ground by a huge rock fist! The pit was two meters in diameter and probably three to four meters deep, with blood and flesh splattered on the edge.
It looked like the Nightmare inside had been smashed into pulp by the huge force. The murderer was the huge stone statue next to it.
Kakakaka…
The stone statue slowly turned around, its huge head looking towards the ground. Its fist was slightly dripping with blood, and there were rags of clothes stuck on it, making it look extremely ferocious. At the same time, the surrounding stone statues turned their heads one after another.
Everyone looked towards the group of people from Black Rain Villa who were standing in the middle of the road.
"Is this what you call safe?"
The Black Dragon of Khorne stared at Master Ripple, his cloak rising slightly behind him.
"It's an accident, it's an accident!" Master Ripple frowned: "I have never had any accidents before. Damn it, these stone statues obviously won't move..." He cursed in a low voice, but the attacks of the stone statues would not stop.
“Kakakaka…” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
The giants were extremely powerful. Although they moved slowly, they could punch very quickly and with great force after locking onto their targets. Moreover, the giants' fists had a large coverage area and could hit the Black Rain Villa team directly, forcing many people to dodge. Some unlucky people were hit directly without being able to dodge.
After a break, the whole person flew out like a cannonball.
It was like skipping stones on water, rising and falling several times in a row, leaving a pool of blood every time it landed, until it finally lay on the ground.
It looks like even if he is not dying, he is seriously injured.
"Ah!" "Get out of the way!" "Don't take the punches of these statues!"
The Night Evils shouted and showed their magical powers, but in front of the powerful fists, some people couldn't hold on or were hit accidentally.
In just a short while, three or four people had died.
“Get lost!
!”
At the front of the team, the Black Dragon of Khorne's sturdy feet dug into the ground like a pile driver. His burly figure suddenly swelled, especially his shoulders and upper arms, where the muscles bulged to nearly twice their original size.
The armor was creaking and the steel seemed to be wailing.
The tightly clenched fist swung out suddenly, as if catching a hurricane. Between the gaps between the fingers, thin white air currents were pulled out.
Peng!
The Black Dragon of Khorne fiercely punched the oncoming stone statue.
The forward momentum of the seven-meter-tall giant was interrupted, and it staggered backwards, leaving deep pits one after another.
Peng!
With another punch, a stone statue running towards him from the left was also knocked back.
The Khorne Black Dragon took the lead and knocked away eight or nine stone statues that were running towards him. It was extremely powerful. However, more stone statues surrounded them. It seemed that they realized how powerful the Khorne Black Dragon was, so they took the siege. The densely packed tall and majestic statues made the Khorne Black Dragon's eyelids twitch. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Master Ripple.
"Where's the ancient bone tree? There's no need to wait until later!"
Master Wave narrowed his eyes, helplessly, and could only take out the ancient tree in his arms. He poured power into it, and the ancient tree suddenly became transparent, like a glass lamp. An inexplicable wave swept in all directions.
In an instant, all the stone statues around them stagnated, as if time had stopped. The pale plant roots that controlled the inside of them also became transparent, flickering slightly, and stopped moving.
Not only that, the waves emitted by this ancient bone tree moved through the air, penetrated the sea water, and went underground, reaching somewhere in the Eternal Life Islands. There was a huge dark cavity, and inside the cavity, half of a towering tree stump and roots spread densely.
It's like a spider web, leading to every corner of the Island of Eternal Life.
This tall tree stump, like a pillar of heaven, seemed to be in a strange state. It seemed to be alive but not alive, and dead but not dead. It was both illusory and real. It was as if two worlds overlapped and merged into one.
