Fairy cage

The golden bone fragments appeared in Yu Lie's eyes and immediately attracted all his attention.

Looking at it from a distance, Yu Lie exhaled and said to himself: "It's really a treasure, and it looks pretty good!"

Just as Yu Lie was observing the golden bone fragments, a voice suddenly appeared in his ears. It was the indigenous language of this place:

"It's beautiful, isn't it? What a beautiful treasure!"

The dry words immediately aroused Yu Lie's alertness, but he calmed down and just looked up in the direction of the sound, but there was no movement.

I saw a person wearing a blood-red cloak slowly walking out of the shadows nearby. Before this person spoke, Yu Lie didn't notice any movement in that direction, as if the person appeared out of thin air. As if coming.

The other person's face was covered under a cloak, with plump lips. The small half of his face revealed showed that he was a woman, and most likely an undead person, so his outline was good and quite charming.

But this person's voice was dry and hoarse, like that of an old woman.

The other party looked up at Yu Lie, turned the face under the cloak to the skull palace in front, and said again:

"Even though the great king has fallen, his remaining glory remains eternal, and even the gods cannot erase it.

Young people in a foreign land, do you want to hear me tell a story? "

While the female undead was speaking, Yu Lie had already glanced around again and again to confirm that she was the only one on the scene and that there were no other enemies hiding in the dark. Moreover, after this female undead appeared, she recognized Yu Lie's identity at a glance and did not yell at Yu Lie. Her attitude was somewhat intriguing.

So after thinking for a moment, Yu Lie nodded towards the other party: "Your Excellency, please speak!"

"Come with me, come closer."

Hoarse words sounded from the mouth of the "old woman", who walked towards the skeleton palace on her own.

Yu Lie also took steps forward, following behind the other party not too close but not too far away. As for the soul-binding girl under his command, she walked in front, putting her body between the two.

Arriving in front of the Skeleton Palace, the old woman said: "The king's coffin is inviolable, you and I will stop here!"

I saw just at the feet of the old woman, extinguished lampposts one after another, standing in front of me in an orderly manner. They were taller and thicker, and there were dozens of them. The heads of different creatures were engraved on them, as if they were directly Insert it on top.

"At the beginning of modern times, there was a king who pacified the four directions and suppressed chaos and chaos. His achievements were comparable to the sun in the sky."

Slow words came from the mouth of the old woman with her back to Yu Lie:

"Then the sun dimmed, and the king gathered the feathers of the phoenix, melted the wax, and woven them into wings. He inserted them on his back, flew into the sun, and burned alone, maintaining the sun's light.

This is the beginning of modern times in our world, the beginning of the twilight era. This king is the ascended First King, and he is also the one whose remains are resting here. "

Listening to what the old woman said, Yu Lie nodded slightly and said:

"I also know about this."

The Taoist disciples have been in the world of Ferocious Dragon Court for more than half a year, and they already have a good understanding of the background of this world. The story the other party just explained is a commonplace story in this world.

"Jie Jie!" Perhaps she guessed what Yu Lie was thinking, the old woman suddenly turned her head, stared at Yu Lie, and said in a conspiratorial tone:

"But, is this legend true?"

These words made Yu Lie raise his eyebrows slightly, and he asked tentatively: "Your Excellency, please explain clearly."

The old woman was quite happy, and she continued hoarsely:

"The first king indeed used wax to form the legendary Phoenix feathers and flew into the sun. But the purpose of the king was not to burn himself and light up the sun.

On the contrary, the king wants to take advantage of the sun's weakness to rule the sun, kill the poisonous insects in it, complete the great deeds that all previous kings have failed to accomplish, become the Sun King, and be promoted to the number one in our world since dusk. The first and last god! "

The word "becoming a god" immediately popped into Yu Lie's mind, shocking him.

It should be noted that the gods spoken by creatures from other worlds are different from the ghosts and gods spoken by Taoists.

For the latter, a seventh-grade Taoist official can serve as a Taoist official after his death, with his Yinshen intact and with considerable merit. The former is similar to the ancient gods and earth creatures in the world of mountains and seas. They are different from the immortals in the world of Longting. These gods are truly immortal.

In terms of rank, the gods among people from other worlds are equivalent to fourth-rank immortals in the world of mountains and seas!

"Good guy, this first-generation king is really powerful. He is about to become an immortal and a god." Yu Lie exclaimed in his heart, but he quickly realized that based on the current situation in the Dragon Court world and the rumors circulating in the world, Yu Lie exclaimed in his heart. Look at the legends in the world.

The first king of this world in the twilight era obviously failed completely. Even his skull was cut into seventy-two pieces and he died without a complete body!

Sure enough, the old woman stood in front of Yu Lie and continued to chant: "The king's blood, the king's bones, ascended to sacrifice, all turned into ashes..."

She looked at the golden bone fragments in the skull palace crazily and shouted: "The murderer who burned the king of our world pretended to be the king, made ridiculous last words, issued deceptive ambitions, and attracted seventy-two loyal lords. , cut up the bones of my king, and divide the bones of my king into seventy-two directions in the name of sacrifice.

This is not a sacrifice, but a prison, splitting the corpse and sealing the spirit, so that my king will never be able to escape forever! "

Something completely different from the legend of the Dragon Court world came out of the old woman's mouth, and Yu Lie's eyes showed a look of understanding and surprise.

According to what the other party said, the ascension sacrifice set by the first kings of this world was not actually the kings sacrificing their lives to be benevolent, burning themselves to delay the decline of the world. It was completely plotted against me.

The other party killed the kings time and time again, seizing the power that the kings obtained by slaughtering all living beings.

"Is that so..." Yu Lie thought about it carefully and realized that what this strange old woman said did make some sense.

After all, from the first day he came to the world of Dragon Court, he had doubts about the methods in this world to delay the decline of the world. In particular, the information left in the Dragon Qi from the Dao Palace also directly mentioned that monsters had landed in this world.

Although the old woman didn't point it out clearly just now, Yu Lie guessed that the murderer of the king in this world was the monster that came to the world of Dragon Court.

Only monsters from other worlds can have the strength to devour the top experts in the Dragon Court world like lambs!

After some words came out of the old woman's mouth, the other party suddenly turned around, faced Yu Lie, and shouted excitedly:

"Foreigners, I am the bloodline of the First King's Soul-Keeping Girl, the immortal sacrifice of Hongyan City, listen to the king's voice, and obey the king's orders. You are from a foreign land, not from this world, and will not be disturbed by the flames of evil spirits. We should inherit the legacy of the first king, rule this world, and conquer the sun!"

The other party chanted, turned around again, and knelt down towards the golden bone fragment, chanting: "You step forward and take over the power of the First King.

From now on, you can let the earth use weapons, use blood to make wine, use bones as stairs, and use skulls as jewelry...devour the souls of the dead, search for the truth, touch the seventy-two skulls one by one, until you lift the throne and soar into the sun! "

Amidst the strange chanting sounds, the seventy-two lamp posts surrounding the skull palace suddenly burned, emitting golden flames that were dazzling.

The golden skull in the palace suddenly shone like the sun, making it difficult for people to look directly at it, and Yu Lie had to squint his eyes.

I have to say that the scene in front of me is quite shocking.

Especially when the lampposts were lit one by one, Yu Lie's eyes immediately saw the illusion that he had slowly stepped forward, while thousands of creatures knelt aside to welcome him to the Sun Throne.

However, this illusion only lasted for a moment, and the Taoist altar in Yu Lie's spiritual platform rippled, causing his mind to shake, and he immediately regained his clarity.

At this time, Yu Lie opened his eyes wide and looked at the brightly lit scene around him with interest, thinking to himself:

"I didn't expect these natives to really know how to play. I found that I couldn't deal with the monster in the sun, so I thought about letting the Taoists become kings."

He thought about it and found that it was very possible that the thing about the strangers mentioned by the old woman had already started before the Taoists came. It was just that the Taoist Palace discovered this world in the end, sent Taoists, and happened to respond to this opportunity. .

In this way, it can be explained why Fangmen has a map of this place in his hand.

As a descendant of the family, the other party has a foothold. He should have known about this matter before participating in this assessment, and it is possible that he came here specifically for this matter. It's just that people like Yu Lie don't know it yet.

The old woman kneeling on the ground saw that Yu Lie did not move, so she continued to chant:

"Confused foreigner, quickly offer the dead soul in your hand, and I can guide the power of the First King, use flesh and blood and bones as firewood, burn the soul, and turn it into the power you need most in your growth!"

When these words came out of the old woman's mouth, Yu Lie's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yu Lie finally understood it completely: "It turns out that this bone fragment has such a powerful effect. It can burn the soul and transform power. In other words, it can turn the soul into spiritual energy or even fire energy. All kinds of things?!”

No wonder that Fangmen didn't do much to collect the materials for the fire-preventing beads. He was just busy hunting. With this thing, the other party only needed to collect the souls.

However, judging from the fact that the other party also needs to trade the water-avoiding beads, even if the Chuwang skull can really transform spiritual energy and increase mana, it should be quite limited. Yu Lie even doubted whether this thing could be converted into vitality for breakthrough.

He took a few steps forward with great interest, getting closer to the skull of King Chu, and looked at it carefully.

The kneeling old woman saw Yu Lie's movements and urged her again and again: "Dear stranger, please take the first step to ascend to the throne!"

But Yu Lie looked at the skull fragment carefully, and after hearing the old woman's urging, he couldn't help but say:

"Noisy!"

There was a cold snort, and the green steel wooden sword in Yu Lie's hand flew out and landed directly on the old woman's neck. It circled the other woman's neck without moving.

The sudden change caused the old woman's expression to freeze, and the other party looked at Yu Lie in disbelief.

Her eyes moved back and forth between the golden bone fragment and Yu Lie's eyes, and then she said carefully:

"Stranger, the power of the First King is ahead, please take the first step towards the throne!"

Yu Lie heard this but turned a deaf ear. He just nodded to the soul-holding girl beside him to signal her guardian. Then he took out a few charms, summoned the flying knives, and struck around the Skull Palace.

Clang!

The sound of the flying knives hitting each other appeared. When the flying knives wanted to fly into the palace, the golden light on the skull fragments emerged and condensed into something like water waves, blocking the flying knives from the outside.

"Hey!" The strange old woman kneeling on the ground came back from her daze. She realized that Yu Lie was not tempted and did not believe what she said.

So the old woman sneered and said:

"The king's tomb has a golden will left. Without the order of the first king, you would not even be able to enter this place. Foreigners, if you want to see the king's skull, you must enter on your own!"

But Yu Lie just didn't listen to the old woman. Seeing that he had tested it out, but there was still no one around, he simply took out the gunpowder pills he got from the weapon disciple named Liu, and boldly moved his skull forward. The palace was bombarded hard.

The skull palace, or coffin, which was about ten feet wide, was immediately submerged in gunpowder and burned.

But when the smoke of the gunpowder dissipated and the flames gradually extinguished, the skull palace still stood motionless in front, without any damage.

This situation made Yu Lie's eyes look disappointed, but he was not discouraged. After all, whether based on judgment or what the old woman said, King Chu's skull is so important at this time, so naturally not anyone can take it away if they want.

Before the assessment, none of the people who gave Fangmen the map could take it away, let alone Yu Lie, a mere low-level Taoist disciple. Even if it could, it wouldn't be easy.

Immediately, Yu Lie half-listened to what the old woman said, and he called out to the soul-holding girl beside him:

"You, enter and give it a try."

The soul-holding girl nodded silently without hesitation, and then walked steadily towards the golden skull fragment.

But at this time, the old woman's sarcastic voice sounded again.

"Hahaha!" She laughed sharply: "For strangers, only those with unpolluted souls and bodies can step into it and touch the king's skull!

Give up trying, the future of our world will depend on you, the strangers, and you, too, will be crowned kings! "

While laughing, the old woman shouted excitedly. She raised her hands, as if she were holding the golden skull fragments in her arms in the air.

However, when Yu Lie heard the other party's urging again, he finally couldn't help but reply in this world's language:

"That's ridiculous. What does the future of your world and your safety have to do with me?" His words were cold and rather scornful.

It should be noted that he came to this ferocious dragon world just to take part in an assessment.

Even if this world is special, it is just an examination room under the Taoist Palace.

Only when Yu Lie lost his mind would he listen to the old woman's deception and pursue being crowned king in this world, or even kill the monster in the sun.

Such things are not something that a young Taoist like him can consider.

For Yu Lie now, the only important thing for him is to take advantage of his chance to come here and try his best to loot this place, especially the golden skull, which must be obtained!
