Chapter 528: Chapter 576 Drastic Changes in the Valley
Chapter Five Hundred Seventy-Six
In a corner of Death God Valley, an expedition team from the Malay Country was walking through an underground passage.
The Malay Country reveres the Martial Dao.
This ti, the strongest Martial Dao noble family from the Malay Country, the Hong Family, was leading the team.
Although the Hong Family was a first-rate power in the Southern Ocean region, they still fell short compared to the White Dragon Temple and the Serpent Witch Sect. Every ti Death God Valley opened, their gains were the least.
The strongest martial artist of the Hong Family, Hong Xuanji, was speaking with an ordinary-looking middle-aged man: “Kabu, how much longer until we arrive?”
...
“We are close, just ahead. The entrance to the hidden treasure is up there, passed down from our ancestors,” Kabu said respectfully.
Hong Xuanji said, “Good, if you can truly help our Hong Family find the hidden treasure, we will definitely not mistreat you.”
As Hong Xuanji spoke, a sharp gleam flashed deep in his eyes.
If it weren’t for Kabu’s claim of a hidden treasure, he would never have brought an ordinary person into Death God Valley.
“We’re here, this is the place,” Kabu suddenly ran forward. The Hong Family martial artists hurriedly followed, and soon they passed through an opening and a huge underground space appeared before them.
A ritual altar stood within it.
Hong Xuanji looked around, but other than the altar, he saw nothing else. He frowned and said, “Kabu, where is the hidden treasure you spoke of? There’s nothing here.”
“It’s above, just co up and you’ll see,” Kabu replied.
Kabu walked up to the altar. Hong Xuanji and the others followed with skepticism. The altar was massive, with a totem of an ancient six-legged, four-winged beast drawn on the ground.
“Where is the hidden treasure? Kabu, you aren’t deceiving us, are you?” Hong Xuanji asked coldly.
“Of course not.” Kabu, with his back to the Hong Family mbers, suddenly showed a sinister smile on his face: “The hidden treasure will appear soon, but opening it requires a key.”
“What key?”
“Your blood.”
“How dare you!”
“You’re seeking death!”
The Hong Family martial artists were enraged. Even though Kabu was behaving strangely, they were seasoned martial artists, naturally unafraid of such deception.
A group of Hong Family martial artists rushed forward.
The sound of tal clashing rang out as swords and knives struck Kabu’s body.
Kabu turned around, his face covered with scales, and his hands had turned into claws, transforming into a half-demon monster.
The Hong Family mbers were shocked.
Whoosh!
Kabu disappeared, and then, with a grueso sound, the heads of two Hong Family martial artists were torn off, their blood spraying forth, staining
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Lan Wan’er had an indifferent expression as if dying right then wouldn’t matter to her at all.
“Don’t you feel that our master isn’t dead?” Hua Die said.
Lan Wan’er quickly turned her head and said, “How do you know that?”
“Did you forget that my Life-bound Gu Worm absorbed a strand of his blood essence? I can feel him. If he had died, my Life-bound Gu Worm would definitely have reacted.”
Lan Wan’er’s eyes lit up, she urgently attuned herself to the emotions. After a mont, her face showed ecstasy, and she danced with joy, “That’s right, our master… That bastard definitely isn’t dead. I can feel it. If he were dead, my Love Gu Worm would surely backlash. I need to find him, I’m going to find him right now.”
Lan Wan’er dashed forward.
Hua Die grabbed hold of her, “Do you know where our master is?”
“I know, my Love Gu Worm will sense it, but the feeling is very weak at the mont. He must be far away from us. We have to be quick,” Lan Wan’er said as she increased her pace.
Hua Die also hurriedly followed, and the two of them ran swiftly.
As the two of them ran, they soon heard the ground continuously shaking. The dense forest began to tremble, and suddenly a multitude of insects, snakes, and wild beasts rushed out of the forest. The two won turned pale. These creatures were extraordinarily fierce, and their numbers were dense.
Seeing these beasts surging towards them, the two felt utter despair. Facing such a tidal wave of wild beasts, they had no hope of survival.
In an instant, these insects, snakes, and wild beasts reached them. Subconsciously, they grabbed each other’s hands, closed their eyes, and awaited death.
For a long while, neither felt the pain of death’s arrival and opened their eyes.
To their surprise, the creatures hadn’t touched them at all; they ran past them.
Lan Wan’er, being a Gu Master, knew a lot about the habits of these creatures.
She frowned and said, “It seems sothing’s wrong?”
“Yes, sothing must have happened to cause them to flee,” Hua Die said, just as the ground shook even more violently.
The two won could barely stand as they watched nurous trees in the forest fall.
“An earthquake!”
Finally, the two understood what was happening. A huge earthquake was occurring; the earth cracked open, swallowing the forest as if the entire Death God Valley was going to be destroyed.
The ground beneath their feet also split apart.
Lan Wan’er and Hua Die frantically scrambled to safety. It took a full half-hour before the ground stopped shaking. Covered in dust and dirt, they stared dumbfounded at the ground before them.
The high mountains, forests, rivers, and canyons had all disappeared.
In their place, a vast ancient city had appeared. It seed like the entire city had been buried underground and the earthquake had unearthed it.
“This… Where is this?” Lan Wan’er muttered to herself.
Hua Die shook her head, “I don’t know. Let’s go take a look.”
Lan Wan’er had no objections.
Although she wanted to find Long Xiaoshan, all the paths in front of them were cut off. The earthquake had created countless fissures in the earth, so re ters across, others over a hundred ters wide, forming vast canyons.
It was impossible for them to cross these fissures.
The only option was to head towards the ancient city. After several hours, they climbed down from a canyon and arrived at the edge of the ancient city. The city was pitch dark, and the buildings were impressively large; while an average human house was about three to four ters tall, these buildings were over ten ters high, exuding grandeur.
On the city walls were many strange totems, and as a person entered, they felt a chilling sensation as if a current of dark energy was flowing.
Just as Lan Wan’er and Hua Die arrived at the ancient city.
The forces that had entered Death God Valley had also started arriving there.
