Vol 3 Chapter 104: Underground Palace 8

Chapter 104 The Underground Palace 8
There are tigers in Shimen, which are ferocious and fierce. Although the reliefs are not huge, the head of a tiger is carved in life, revealing its awe-inspiring power. Shen Shi looked at the stone inscription of the tiger head for a moment, and suddenly felt a little familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that this pattern seemed to be somewhat similar to the totem of a Scarlet Tiger Demon Race he had seen when he was still in the Demon Realm.
The Scarlet Tiger Demon Tribe was finally destroyed by the fierce attack of the Azure Snake Demon Tribe led by Yulin. Except for a few escaped fish, all the adult warriors and the older ones Almost all of the tribal youths were killed by the Azure Snake Monster clan.
The tribal wars within the Yaozu have always been so cruel, which may be incomprehensible to the majority of the human races that now occupy the dominant position in the Hongmeng realms. ｀｀｀｀｀｀ novels. To be honest, Shen Shi actually felt a little confused about this, so when he returned from the Demon Realm and his life stabilized, whenever he had the opportunity to read in the book sea in the High Heaven Sect, Shen Shi would pay attention to this aspect of the record.
But what surprised him was that according to the records in the ancient scrolls from the days of the Heavenly Demon King's Court in the Book Sea of ​​Ling Xiaozong, when the demon clan was strong, except for the demon emperor's line of lofty status, it was usually high on the day Although the vast majority of low-level monster races also have disputes and conflicts on weekdays, they have never had any such tragic and cruel internal fighting, let alone the situation of frequent annihilation.
It seems that in these ten thousand years, not only the human race has undergone earth-shaking changes, but also the remnant monsters who are autistic in the demon world. It seems that some unknown and strange changes have taken place, and they have become many tribes in the demon world today. This look of fighting each other endlessly.
Thinking a little far away, Shen Shi shook his head and retracted his thoughts, his gaze returned to the tiger head stone carving before him, and saw that most of the lifelike tiger head was made of the same stone as the surrounding stone gates, except for the two eyes. It is inlaid with two gems of dark brown color.
The brilliance of the gem gleamed gently, and it looked like it was alive, like two real eyes, gazing at the world outside Shimen.
Shen Shi looked at the tiger's head for a long while, and tried to reach out and touch the jewel in the tiger's eye, but neither Shimen nor the tiger's head had any reaction. Think about it, too, such a heavy and thick stone door locks the passage, of course, it is impossible to put the opening mechanism naked on the door, otherwise anyone can open the door by pressing the tiger's head. What is the significance of this door?
Shen Shi took a step back gently, frowned slightly, and the color of thinking passed by in his eyes. With his current Taoism, if he can't find a way to open the door or some kind of key, I'm afraid he can't open this extremely heavy stone door, and at this moment, there is another thought in his mind:
He walked all the way through this passage, clearly there was only one path, and this stone gate blocked all the gaps in the road ahead, and no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like it had been opened before. In other words, the biggest reason that Shen Shi traced all the way to here, Zhong Qinglu, was probably not on this road at the moment, not in the passageway inside and outside the stone gate.
Maybe behind the door is the real Monster Race Labyrinth, maybe behind the door is the treasures and spiritual materials hidden by the Monster Race in the past, but obviously, in addition to these most beautiful things, there is a great possibility, it should be Behind the door may be standing a vast expanse of fierce ghosts and monsters, just waiting for the opening of the Shimen, and then they swarmed up, swallowing Chen Shi and Xiao Hei together.
The two results are too far apart, there is really a world of difference, and from Chen Shi's point of view, it seems that in any case, the latter is much more likely. Over the years, he still remembered what his father, Shen Tai, said on the day he was separated from him. There may be some differences in words, but the truth is the same:
There are hundreds of millions of people in this world, all living beings, luck can't fall on you so exactly, even if you take the luck once or twice in your life, but who can guarantee that it will be the same every time?
Luck is always good for others! The best choice is to do everything without worrying about victory first.
Shen Shi has been doing this for so many years, and at this moment, his mind has not changed in any way.
So he quickly turned around, greeted Xiao Hei, and walked back straight from the source.
The stone gate is closed and no one passes through, so Zhong Qinglu is almost impossible to disappear from here. The first important thing for sinking stone is to find Zhong Qinglu as soon as possible. This is also the most important thing for him to take Xiao Hei into this underground maze. the reason. Since there is no one here, he certainly has no intention of racking his brains to open this door.
As his departed figure gradually moved away, silence was restored in this passage. The stone gate stood quietly here, as if a stubborn guard, guarding the secrets of this underground palace for thousands of years. . Only on the stone gate, in the eyes with the tiger head pattern, two gleaming gems gleamed. It seems that no matter where the sinking stone goes or which corner he passes, he can faintly see his back in the eyes of the tiger. Like real eyes.
※※※
On the way, Shen Shi once passed a fork in the road. In addition to the first road, there were two fork roads, one leading to this stone gate, and the other a strange and completely dark road.
Although I didn't like the smell very much, but in the current situation, Zhong Qinglu, who was obviously missing, was very likely to be taken to that fork road. Shen Shi walked back in strides, the choice this time seemed to be completely wrong, it was a long time delay, even Shen Shi felt a little anxious in his heart.
Qinglu... don't have an accident.
With the sound of footsteps, it didn't take long for Shen Shi to see the golden brilliance again, and once again walked to the side of the strange golden fetal stone.
His footsteps slowed down subconsciously, but then he seemed to wake up, and soon he took a deep breath, stopped looking at the stone, and strode past the golden baby stone.
Xiao Hei followed behind Shen Shi, and she looked a little reluctant. He seemed to be very, very interested in this golden baby stone, but there was no way. Shen Shi walked too fast and he tried secretly before. Passed, so in the end, this little greedy little black still reluctantly followed Shen Shi's pace and went all the way.
After walking like this for a while, Shen Shi took Xiao Hei back to the intersection of the three forks. This time Shen Shi walked straight out of the dark passage, but then he made a new discovery, this darkness. It seems that the passageway is different from the bright road. There are no floor tiles or patterns. There are gravel and mud everywhere. The unevenness of the road has been restored, and it was actually the same as when the sinking stone came over. The road is somewhat similar.
Shen Shi watched this road carefully. After a while, his heart jumped suddenly, but he found that at the beginning of this passage, it looked like a hole, and it was obvious that it was from here. The original intact underground passage, that is, on the stone wall of the passage leading to the stone gate, somehow was punched out of a big hole, creating a fork in the road.
Darkness wafted in this mysterious passage, full of mystery and unpredictable danger. Shen Shi looked at the size of the cave that was many times higher than himself, and the muscles in the corner of his eyes twitched slightly. After all, he took a breath and walked over.
Xiao Hei snorted and followed.
This road looks dark and extremely long. I don’t know where it will eventually lead, but in the heart of Shen Shi who is walking in the dark while slowly igniting the flames, he suddenly has an inexplicable hunch that this road , Maybe it also leads to the mysterious Demon Clan underground palace, and...Since a tunnel stone wall of the labyrinth can be broken at the beginning of the road, then maybe at the end of the road, this dark road is also possible to lead directly into the underground palace?
Zhong Qinglu, would she just wait for herself there?
