The sky is vast and the wilderness is boundless.
The military vehicle was driving on the straight road. Du Yu looked at the endless grassland on both sides and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Beautiful, very beautiful indeed.
But it's a bit too beautiful, as if this road leads to heaven.
Well, when you look at the world with the intention of dying, everything seems to be bidding farewell to you.
"Langu Mountain." Du Yu spoke softly. Under the distant blue sky, there were mountains flying like dragons and phoenixes. "Master Qing, are we going into the mountain?"
"Yeah." Yang Qingqing responded softly, looking into the distance with a slightly dazed look in her eyes.
Langu Mountain has distinct layers, and can be roughly divided into three sections from top to bottom.
The upper part is covered with snow and is pure white; the middle part has strange peaks, huge rocks, and dense grass and forests; the lower part has meadows, valleys, and blooming mountain flowers.
The temperature in summer, coupled with the unique latitude and altitude, give Mount Langgu its distinct layers.
It is clearly a horizontal mountain range, but the upper and lower parts are divided into three different worlds.
Du Yu pursed his lips. It was a good place to be buried.
People say that if you run too fast you will kill your horse, and it is true.
The military vehicle sped along the road for a long time. Later, Du Yu felt sorry for Huang Yinlin, so he slowed down the vehicle and let her jump into the back seat.
Given the tyrant's stubborn temper, if Du Yu didn't let her come up, she would probably continue to hold on.
But I feel sorry for my own demon pet~
The lynx clan has great explosive power, and in a short period of time, they can even compete with the Dust Spirit Deer.
But the tyrant does not last long!
If she keeps moving at high speed for two hours, she will be exhausted like a dog.
In fact, when Huang Yinlin climbed onto the back seat of the military vehicle, its big pink tongue had already stuck out.
What a pity, Master is here.
Du Yu endured it again and again, but still controlled his hands and did not pull the tyrant's tongue.
"Hello." Yang Qingqing reached out to the lynx, as if to help her adjust her posture.
Because the lynx is too large, its crouching posture is crooked, with a small part of its body hanging behind.
When Du Yu saw his master extending his hand, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy!
His demon soul quickly floated away and approached Huang Yinlin: "This is my master, the one who takes care of me the most and the one I respect the most. Don't make any mistakes!"
Huang Yinlin raised his eyes. He had never seen Du Yu so serious.
Even on the top of Thousand Blade Mountain, when he scolded her, he mostly did so with a smile.
Huang Yinlin snorted and let the woman's hand fall on him.
Seeing this scene, Du Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
He could allow Huang Yinlin to get angry at Fu Jianzhou, but he could never let her treat Master Qing like that.
Yang Qingqing looked playful, noticing the little movements between the master and the pet.
She easily lifted the belly of the wild silver lynx with one hand, moved it into the car, and rubbed its silver fur: "Your Xiaobai has been promoted to the spiritual level."
"Ah?" Du Yu was overjoyed, "Spiritual level?"
Yang Qingqing: "You have gathered the demon spirits into shape, and Xiaochuan has been promoted to a demon-controlling general. I have benefited a lot from it.
Xiaobai was also infused with the energy between heaven and earth and broke free from his shackles."
Du Yu clenched his fists: "Great!"
"Meow!"
The sharp cry startled Du Yu.
You know, his demon soul was in contact with the Tyrant, and the uncontrollable joy in his heart was naturally exposed in front of Huang Yinlin.
"Haha." Yang Qingqing chuckled and turned to look at the big cat, "It seems like you're jealous."
Du Yu scratched his head in embarrassment.
Yang Qingqing: "Yes, it cares about you a lot. It's rare for a wild spirit-level monster to do this."
Du Yu curled his lips: "She is usually arrogant and domineering, and I guess she has a strong possessiveness."
"Meow!!!"
"Okay, okay, no need to force it." Du Yu said hurriedly, "I don't miss Xiao Bai anymore. I don't miss her anymore."
"Hmph." Huang Yinlin snorted coldly and turned his head to look aside.
"Ms. Yang, we're here." The soldier, who had been driving quietly, suddenly spoke.
Du Yu turned around and saw that the military vehicle had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The snow on the mountain peaks melted and flowed through countless places, forming a stream here. Looking up along the stream, there is a small mountain pass.
"Let's go." Yang Qingqing floated up.
In the military vehicle at the rear, Fu Jianzhou and others had just gotten off when they saw their master flying up the mountain, and the trio hurried to follow.
"Let's go, tyrant." Du Yu rose and fell lightly and sat on the back of the wild silver lynx.
Du Yu originally thought that he would only flash by in the envious eyes of the soldiers, but unexpectedly, Huang Yinlin didn't move at all.
"I was wrong." Du Yu crouched down, hugged Huang Yinlin's neck, and coaxed him softly, "Don't be angry. I'll go home and be your meat cushion to compensate you, okay?"
As he said this, Du Yu patted the emperor's head and said, "The mission is important, be obedient."
"Meow." The wild silver lynx finally moved and chased after it.
Led by the soldiers, they reached the depths of the valley.
After just over ten minutes, Du Yu saw Gu Zhong before he saw the military camp.
It was located in a deep pit, and as it was close to a stream, some water had already accumulated in the pit.
Although the ancient bell was inside a pit, it was quite large and half of its shape was still visible.
It seemed to be made of bronze, with some patterns engraved on it, which Du Yu could not quite understand.
Even under the sunlight, the ancient bell still appears dim and dull, and an ancient and vicissitudes of life atmosphere prevails.
"Senior Yang." A young man strode forward and was the first to bow before the soldiers who came to greet him.
Du Yu had read the information of his colleagues in Team 2 and knew that this young man with a side-parted hair was the only remaining colleague in Team 2—Zhang Tianxiao.
The young man looked to be about 25 or 26 years old. As his name suggests, he was an optimist and was always smiling.
However, at this moment, his expression was extremely serious and he hadn't smiled for the whole day.
Yang Qingqing nodded and looked at the ancient clock in the distance: "It's much smaller than I thought."
Zhang Tianxiao said respectfully: "Senior Yang, before the bronze bell suddenly erupted, it was very large and looked like a small mountain.
After it shrank, it became what it is now, with an estimated height of about 30 meters.
Yang Qingqing nodded and observed the ancient clock silently.
Under normal circumstances, Fu Jianzhou would step forward to negotiate with the military.
But at this time, Fu Jianzhou had no intention of speaking at all. Lin Shiwei hesitated for a moment and took on the job.
After some negotiations, Lin Shiwei could only sigh secretly.
The information that the soldiers had was also known to the entire team. As for the ancient bell, it could be said that people knew nothing at all!
"Master Qing."
"Hmm?" Yang Qingqing turned her head and looked at Lin Shiwei.
The girl just shook her head slightly, looking helpless.
Yang Qingqing understood and said, "There is no time to lose. Let's try to negotiate with it using the spirit of the weapon."
As she spoke, Yang Qingqing suddenly raised her hand and shook her wrist.
"Ring, ring, ring, ring."
The clear and melodious bell sounds echoed deep in the valley.
Yang Qingqing stepped forward. Du Yu's heart tightened and he hurriedly drove Huang Yinlin to follow.
Until the woman came to the edge of the deep pit and looked at the ancient bell at the bottom of the pit hundreds of meters away.
A red misty figure quietly emerged and enveloped Yang Qingqing's graceful figure.
A woman in red clothes and red robe, in the red mist.
This is the spirit of the bell bracelet, Nangong Ling.
He is also the main villain in the Shadow Gu Tower illusion and the leader of the mysterious organization Zhu Xin Yuan.
Of course, unlike Xixia Di Bailan, Nangong Ling’s bell bracelet broke and fell off while he was being chased.
Therefore, Nangong Ling did not have the opportunity to integrate his soul into the bell bracelet.
The bell bracelet took on the image of its previous owner just out of habit. As long as Yang Qingqing wanted, she could make the spirit of the bracelet change into any appearance.
"Master Qing!"
"Teacher Qing!" Li Mengnan and Lin Shiwei looked worried and spoke up.
Yang Qingqing suddenly flew up and continued to walk towards the center of the deep pit!
You know, the people from Team 2 were swallowed by the ancient bell!
"Go back." Yang Qingqing suddenly said.
Below, Du Yu was riding on the Wild Silver Lynx. Apart from the vertical distance, he was almost inseparable.
Du Yu looked up and said, "If something happens, we can take care of it."
Hearing this, Yang Qingqing lowered her head and looked at Du Yu.
During such a dangerous mission, she actually showed a smile on her face: "You? Take care of me?"
Du Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I helped you conquer the Shadow Gu Tower and the Jade Gourd before. Master Qing, have you forgotten?"
Yang Qingqing stood in the air, the smile on her face gradually faded.
Slowly, her voice was serious: "Go back, this is an order."
Du Yu looked up at Master Qing's face, which was covered in red mist, and said, "I also have a Shadow Gu Tower, which can also swallow people. The chances of getting in touch with Gu Zhong are even higher."
Yang Qingqing's eyes were a little complicated. Knowing that the ancient bell could swallow people, her disciple insisted on following her.
To say I wasn't touched would be a lie.
Du Yu raised his head and said, "Let's go, Master Qing.
Even if you lead the charge, if you are really swallowed, I will have to find you sooner or later."
Yang Qingqing was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the disciples behind her: "You three, stay here and guard."
Compared to Du Yu who disobeyed his master's orders, the other three disciples did not dare to raise any objection.
Yang Qingqing's figure slowly floated down and flew in front of Du Yu's left: "Let's go."
She agreed to let Du Yu come along because she actually had another reason, and that was Zhuying Lei Chi!
In the revelation of Zhuying Lei Chi, Du Yu once saved her life from the midst of thousands of troops.
And in that war, her Chixiong Forbidden City was huge in size and was definitely not the heavenly-level creature it is today.
In other words, she and Du Yu cannot die for the time being.
Of course, the premise of all this is that she hopes that Zhuying Lei Chi’s prophecy will definitely come true.
"Pah~"
Water splashed under the feet of the wild silver lynx as it approached the bottom of the pit step by step.
"Ring, ring, ring, ring."
Yang Qingqing gently shook her wrist and continued to use her spiritual weapon, trying to attract Gu Zhong's attention.
The distance of just a few hundred meters was reached in an instant.
Everyone on the edge of the deep pit was in fear, concentrating and watching the scene with bated breath.
Until the two of them and the lynx arrived in front of the ancient bell, Li Mengnan couldn't help but reach out and hug Lin Shiwei's arm, his heart in his throat.
"Hello." Yang Qingqing raised her hand slowly, as if to express goodwill.
Red mist shrouded her jade hand as she gently pressed it on the bronze bell wall.
"This is the Great Xia of 997, the grassland province, which is different from the era when you fell." The tone of the weapon spirit was infinitely close to Yang Qingqing, even making Du Yu think that the two had merged into one.
"You have probably experienced a time of war, but there is no longer any war in Daxia at this time, and humans and beastmen live in peace."
Yang Qingqing transmitted her thoughts through the spiritual contract, and Nangong Ling helped to speak.
However, the ancient bell remained silent, like a dead object.
After more than ten minutes, Yang Qingqing frowned slightly and withdrew her hand.
Obviously, Gu Zhong had no desire to communicate.
She lowered her head and looked down, and Du Yu understood what she meant.
Suddenly, a layer of black mist appeared on his body, and a woman in black mist appeared quietly.
To be honest, this picture is really ironic.
One is the red-robed woman, Nangong Ling, from Zhuxin Garden.
One is the black fog woman, Guo Yueyao, from Shenmu.
If these two sworn enemies knew that hundreds of years later, they would work together to carry out a mission in this way, they would probably die with regrets, right
Du Yu's black misty fingers pointed at the wall of the bell and slid gently, depicting the strange carved patterns on the ancient bell.
He introduced himself and directly stated that the Shadow Gu Tower also had the ability to devour living beings. He also wanted to ask some questions to find out what the specific capabilities of the ancient bell were.
However, the bronze bell standing there ignored Du Yu.
