Chapter 18 Remains
Inside the bronze door is a huge natural cave.
The pitch black coffin was parked in the center of the cave.
Its specifications and style are the same as those in dreams, but there are many holes around the coffin, and countless worm threads spread out from them.
There were no funerary objects around the coffin, only transparent insect eggs the size of a human head, which were firmly adhered by insect silk.
Phew!
Li Yannian picked open an insect egg.
A palm-sized skeleton insect flowed out along with the light green liquid.
It seemed a little stunted and panting slightly.
"What is this stuff?"
Everyone was surprised.
"It's incredible that they're still alive."
This body shape and appearance are somewhat similar to the strange insect that attacked him.
Li Yannian crushed the skeleton insect with his toes. Poof, its belly burst open and soon it lost its breath.
"Your Majesty, look!"
"The eggs are bright!"
As the skeleton insect died, the remaining eggs seemed to be stimulated. They bloomed with faint green light one after another, and the strange insects inside began to swim slowly.
Click, click!
The surface of the eggs gradually cracked.
"Capture a batch of eggs and live insects and take them back as experimental subjects. The rest will be killed directly. I will collect their flesh and blood for great use." Li Yannian ordered
"promise!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
The strange insects broke open the eggs one after another and launched attacks on the nearby living people.
Wu Xingyun slashed vertically with his palm, splitting the skeleton insect that was poking at her face in half.
"What a hard shell!"
I am afraid that only the Martial Saint can completely break through this level of defense.
She turned around suddenly, and three thousand black hairs flew like spears and drove into the bodies of two skeleton insects.
"Thank you, Lord Chief!"
The martial arts master who was rescued by her was grateful.
If Wu Xingyun hadn't taken action, he might have been pierced by the skeleton insect.
These skeleton bugs are not only fast and flexible, but their shriveled flesh also contains powerful jumping and biting power, and even the hardness of their shells is unusual.
"Everyone disperses, with the Martial Saint as the main one and the Grand Master as the assistant, and we will fight in groups of five."
Wu Xingyun ordered.
Click, click!
At this moment,
Circles of holes were opened on the surrounding rock walls, and dense arrows flew out from them.
Everyone was in a hurry again.
Only Li Yannian remained motionless in the venue.
The arrow fell on his body and shattered without even leaving a mark.
His huge body was obviously very conspicuous, but no skeleton insect dared to approach him. The burning energy and blood made him like a furnace, and even the surrounding air was vaguely distorted.
The spirit, energy and spirit reached their peak at the same time.
The powerful aura of standing at the top of the human race and the top of the food chain made this group of weird bugs who only follow their instincts subconsciously avoid them.
"Open it for me!"
Li Yannian pushed with one hand.
The coffin lid flew out, but the accident he expected did not happen.
Li Yannian took a closer look and saw that there was nothing in the coffin except worm silk.
How can this be?
Where are the remains of Emperor Yuan?
After careful observation, Li Yannian discovered that the depth of the coffin was wrong, and there was an interlayer inside!
He opened the mezzanine, and there were two remains at the bottom of the coffin. The huge insect corpse was curled up, and it was holding a giant corpse about three meters tall in its arms.
The internal organs of the skeletons have been hollowed out, and dense worm threads extend from their abdominal cavities.
"Is this the mother body that keeps the eggs alive?"
Li Yannian made a guess in his mind.
The insect skeleton is shaped like a sword ant, so the giant skeleton in his arms is most likely that of Miao Jiang Chi Emperor.
How pitiful.
There is no peace even after death.
Li Yannian threw the corpse out, and sure enough, there was a big hole in the bottom of the coffin and the ground.
"The Emperor Yuan should have disappeared through this secret passage."
"What is he going to do?"
"You actually need to fake your own death to escape."
Li Yannian jumped directly into the secret passage in the coffin without any hesitation.
As he continued deeper, the temperature in the dark tunnel became higher and higher.
I do not know how long it has been,
There was a pop.
He finally landed in a cave that was spacious and extended in all directions, and a large amount of ash and dust floated up due to his movements.
Li Yannian reached out and grabbed it, and the ash and dust all swirled and converged, turning into a huge gray-black ball. Li Yannian pressed it into a pothole.
Suddenly everything was clean.
His eyes glanced,
The black cave wall is inlaid with dense red gems, each of them releasing a slight amount of heat.
"Molten spar." Li Yannian was very surprised, "There used to be a lot of magma here!"
Only special crystals that have been soaked in lava for a long time will form molten spar, which is an extremely high-grade fire attribute material.
Li Yannian had more and more doubts in his heart.
Emperor Yuan had an extreme fear of fire in his heart. If lava really existed here, he should not go here.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
Li Yannian's heart instantly surged with uncontrollable excitement and joy.
"The Heavenly Demonic Furnace must be the Heavenly Demonic Furnace!"
The only thing that can suppress fear is desire!
There must be something here that allows Emperor Yuan to break through his original body and evolve perfectly. Only in this way can we explain the choice made by Emperor Tong Yuan.
Li Yannian followed the worm silk fossils on the ground to explore.
There were fewer and fewer branches in the tunnel, and suddenly his footsteps stopped. There had been a fierce battle here.
The rock wall is covered with traces of the battle between the two sides, and even thousands of years later, the scene at that time can still be vaguely restored.
Li Yannian picked up the fragments on the ground.
This is half a ghost face mask.
With a little force on his palm, the mask turned into powder and fell from his fingertips.
Li Yannian involuntarily slowed down his pace.
He found a scepter and a huge broken palm in front of him, both of which were familiar to him.
The weapon of the Grand Master of the Yuan Dynasty and the palm of the Moth Monster.
A battle broke out here, and traces of the battle spread toward the cave ahead, and Li Yannian walked in.
In the dark cave, only the molten crystals shone with a faint red light. The cave was completely closed, with only a small opening in the left corner, the height and width of which were about the same as a dog hole.
Li Yannian's heart gradually cooled down.
He saw the body of the monster moth broken into two parts, but there was no trace of the Great Yuan Master around the body.
He inspected carefully and still found nothing.
Disappointment, anger and fear came over me.
The suffocating feeling was like a python wrapping around Li Yannian's body, constantly shrinking and tightening.
"Damn it!"
He punched the dog hole hard.
Boom!
Large chunks of gravel fell down.
One punch, two punches, three punches... After more than ten punches, the dog hole was completely opened by him.
At the end of the path lies a tiny monster.
That was both half human and half insect in the dream, and also the first martial saint in the world - Emperor Yuan.
