Chapter 272: The Heaven-Defying Monster
Li Hao snorted coldly, "How dare you underestimate the power of the earth? We have already gone down very deep. Even if we fight to the death and destroy this place, it will be buried in the earth and flooded. How long can you use your water-proof skills? Unless someone comes to rescue us, we will die of exhaustion sooner or later."
Chen Qingzhou thought about it and decided that it would be really frustrating to suffocate to death, so he might as well let go and have a great time. Even if he was eaten alive by that monster with incredible powers, it was better than dying with a mouth full of dirt. He might be lucky enough to get some unexpected gains.
"Okay, there's no other way. Let's hurry up while we still have most of our energy left!"
"He's a real man!" Li Hao nodded, "Let's go!"
The two men encouraged each other and sneaked quickly to the east.
Two hours passed, and for some reason, the two gradually felt the cold invading their bodies, as if they were approaching an iceberg, and their marching speed became slower and slower.
Logically speaking, both of them have achieved great success in martial arts, and Chen Qingzhou is practicing pure Yang internal energy, so it should be no problem for them to withstand the severe cold of deep water.
"It's almost there." Li Hao said in a calm tone, but his heart was surging with excitement.
Chen Qingzhou also gathered all his energy into his vital points, but the chilling feeling did not diminish at all.
Li Hao also used his strength to perform the "Golden Stone Wall Protection" of the "Nine Elephants of the Honglu", and by the way, he also put a stone barrier on Chen Qingzhou.
The two "stone balls" were just swimming in the endless deep water, feeling lonely and helpless.
"clank!"
One in front and one behind, the two men bumped into something that collided with the protective stone armor, making a sound like the clashing of golden swords.
Chen Qingzhou raised the Wanzhong Sword, which glowed slightly, but in front of him was still the cold deep water, nothing else.
"what happened?"
Li Hao carefully looked at the situation in front of him. After a moment, he condensed a fist with his right fist and punched forward tentatively.
The punch was not thrown with great force and as expected, it stopped with a "clang" sound. There was indeed something hard blocking it.
When Chen Qingzhou saw this situation, he immediately thought of the "Boundless Wind and Moon" sword. At that time in the Linggu Tower, Jin Buhuan condensed the ice energy into a wall to block the sharp ink blade of the Ximenbao master. It was estimated that the thing in front of him was similar.
Because if it was ordinary ice, it would have been broken by Li Hao's fist long ago.
Chen Qingzhou asked: "How far is that guy?"
Li Hao sensed it carefully, "Nearly two miles."
"sky!"
Chen Qingzhou was shocked, "An internal force defense that is two miles thick? What kind of heaven-defying monster is this!" He was afraid that even Dao Wuya could not deal with it.
Li Hao also began to feel uneasy. Although he had been in Nanman for many years, he had never heard of a guy with such powerful demonic powers.
"How is it?" Chen Qingzhou asked, "Now it's not a question of whether or not we dare to go over, it's that we can't even get close."
Li Hao groaned and said, "Let me think about it."
Chen Qingzhou didn't just sit there and wait, but actively thought of a solution in his mind.
……
It's night, ugly time.
The only three remaining members of the Dixiong tribe quietly left Datong City under the cover of night and headed north to Zhayun Mountain.
Li Changsheng walked in quickly with his grandmother on his back, "Grandma, does this old man Yunshan know where the Emperor Hill is?"
The old patriarch shook his head. "It's been too long since I last saw him. I don't know either. But if there is anyone in the Jiuli tribe who knows where Emperor Qiu is, it can only be him."
The two brothers nodded secretly. The old grandmother had a high level of seniority in the Jiuli tribe. Li Che was even older than her and had always held a high position in the Disha tribe, so he must be well-informed.
The three of them walked for more than an hour, and finally, under the moonlight, they saw a towering black mountain not far to the north.
Li Jiuzhan frowned his thick eyebrows that were broken by the scar, "This mountain is not small, and I don't know where that person lives."
The old patriarch looked up at Zhayun Mountain and thought for a moment, "I remember that Brother Li Che once said that he grew up at the foot of Zhayun Mountain. If the world is peaceful in the future, he will retire and live in the mountains. He must be able to see the clouds and the sunrise."
Li Changsheng guessed: "It seems that the place he lives in is not low, and it is on the east side."
The old patriarch nodded, "It's very likely. Let's go over there quickly."
Afterwards, the two brothers each used their own skills to climb up from the east side of Zhayun Mountain. The warriors of the Jiuli tribe were tall, mighty and agile, and soon they reached a height of 500 meters.
Li Changsheng looked around. The mountain was bare, with only rocks without flowers or plants growing on it, but there was still no cloud or fog.
The old patriarch looked up and saw that the top of the mountain was still far away. "Continue."
The two brothers took turns carrying their grandmother on their backs and continued to walk briskly up the mountain.
After climbing for a while, we gradually saw some traces of knife carving and axe chiseling, and then some stairs appeared.
"Slow down," the old patriarch said in a gradually heavy tone, "We should be there soon."
The two brothers agreed, slowed down their pace, and went up the stone stairs. The place was surrounded by thick clouds and fog, and they could not see the road clearly.
Sure enough, after walking about a hundred steps, Li Changsheng, who was exploring the way in the front, accidentally bumped into something hard. He was so frightened that he quickly retreated to defend himself.
"What's wrong?" Li Jiuzhan noticed something was wrong and asked in a low voice.
"Wait a moment!"
Li Changsheng did not answer immediately. He gently touched forward with his hand and found a huge rock blocking the stairs.
After he was sure there was no danger, he stepped back, "Grandma, it seems that this stone staircase has reached the end, blocked by a huge rock."
“Huge rock?” The old patriarch was surprised, but soon remembered something, “Brother Li Che is proficient in mechanical devices, it is possible that he set up this restriction, take me over to have a look.”
The two brothers did as they were told, and the three of them came to the boulder.
The old patriarch reached out her hand and gently stroked the boulder, which was uneven and mottled in a disorderly manner. She activated her internal energy, creating some light, and then she could see clearly that there were four grooves in the shape of right palms on the boulder, with the first palm print being the lowest and the fourth palm print being the highest.
Seeing this, Li Changsheng guessed, "It seems that it will take four people to open this mechanism."
Li Jiuzhan nodded and said, "They should be the four generals of 'Wind, Forest, Fire and Mountain'. This old man Yunshan has been in seclusion for many years and probably doesn't see outsiders."
Li Changsheng asked: "Grandma, do you have any solution?"
The old grandmother fell into deep thought, trying to recall her experiences with Li Che. The two brothers did not dare to disturb her and stood quietly by her side.
After a while, the old grandmother murmured to herself: "There is the word 'eagle' in your name. Although you are a girl, you are very domineering. I also like eagles. I have raised one since I was a teenager..."
Li Changsheng saw his grandmother talking to herself and thought she was in some kind of bewilderment, so he quickly asked, "Grandma, are you okay?"
The old patriarch shook his head and said, "Give me a stone."
Li Changsheng quickly bent down and groped around, picked out a stone of appropriate size and handed it over.
The old patriarch held the stone tightly, his right hand trembling slightly as he carved something on the boulder.
The two brothers didn't understand what was going on and just stood by and watched carefully.
