#1259 - Chapter 1259 No One Believes
No, to be precise, it was a desiccated corpse wearing Bai Rong's face. Its entire body had been completely drained, leaving only an empty shell behind.
Ye Kong sighed deeply, took a step forward, sat down next to Bai Rong, and pointed his finger, "What, weren't you going to die with me? Isn't it just you who died?"
The one who laughs last laughs best.
Clearly, Ye Kong couldn't laugh right now.
His situation wasn't much better than Bai Rong's; turning into a desiccated corpse was only a matter of time.
Falling into an endless black hole, no matter how much spiritual power he exerted, it would be completely absorbed.
Ye Kong immediately turned and ran, but where to run to? He didn't know.
God knows how he fell into this place. Why hadn't he checked the almanac before going out lately?
Bad luck.
There are always problems every year, but this year is especially bad.
If he got out, he would definitely pay his respects properly. But how to get out now?
Suddenly, Ye Kong saw a golden staircase appear in front of him.
The staircase appeared out of nowhere, one step clearly defined after another, emitting a faint yellow light, attracting people to explore it.
Ye Kong walked towards it step by step.
Almost without hesitation, Ye Kong stepped onto the first step.
This foot felt like stepping on cotton, light and unsteady, almost falling. The steps were bare and had no handrail. Fortunately, Ye Kong braced his abdomen to avoid falling.
When he stepped onto the second step, Ye Kong had gained experience. He stepped in the middle, making sure it was solid before taking the second step, and this time he landed firmly.
Ye Kong became more skilled, climbing upwards step by step. The staircase seemed endless, but with his previous experience climbing Zhongnan Mountain, Ye Kong didn't feel too tired.
Halfway up, a sign suddenly appeared on the staircase, which read:
"Hurry, don't look back!"
Putting aside the question of how to hurry, what was the meaning of not looking back?
Originally, Ye Kong didn't think much of it, but now that he was warned not to look back, Ye Kong became even more curious.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out in front of Ye Kong, its bone-white color startling Ye Kong. Just from this moment of distraction, Ye Kong was pulled down.
Countless hands were covered in raging flames, blazing fiercely. As soon as they touched him, the ten-mile thunderfire easily tore off a layer of Ye Kong's skin. Ye Kong quickly flipped his body, using the force of his palms to swing back onto the staircase.
The staircase was now slowly dissipating.
Ye Kong used both his hands and feet to climb upwards. With each step he took, a step disappeared.
Finally, he saw the full view of the staircase.
He originally thought he was seeing light at the end of the tunnel, but unexpectedly, at the top of the staircase, lay a hideous beast, eight feet tall.
As soon as Ye Kong stepped on it, there was a 'ding-dong' sound, and the sleeping beast immediately opened its eyes, glaring fiercely at Ye Kong.
"No intention to disturb, no intention to disturb, you continue to sleep, continue to sleep."
Ye Kong said as he retreated backwards.
His foot slipped, and Ye Kong cried "Ah" as he fell backwards.
Just then, a long trunk suddenly hung down from above, quickly wrapping around Ye Kong's body several times and pulling him up.
"Many thanks!" Ye Kong cupped his hands in gratitude.
The beast stood up and walked towards Ye Kong step by step.
Each step shook the earth and mountains, and boulders fell, making loud thuds. Then, it lowered its head and howled at Ye Kong, its breath carrying the stale odor of an ancient pond, making Ye Kong dizzy.
Then, the beast turned around and went back to lying down.
Huh?
Seeing that the beast ignored him, Ye Kong continued to wander around. The place where the beast was sleeping was next to an ancient tree ten thousand years old, with countless yellow leaves growing on it, and only a brightly colored flower blooming at the very top of the tree.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
Ye Kong walked towards the tree. As soon as he got close, he smelled a strange fragrance. Smelling this scent, the spiritual energy in Ye Kong's entire body flowed smoothly, making him feel very comfortable. Smelling this fragrance, Ye Kong stared unblinkingly at the brightly colored flower and couldn't help but reach out his hand.
Just as Ye Kong's hand was about to touch the flower, the sleeping beast suddenly woke up and attacked Ye Kong like crazy. The beast's long trunk constantly lashed at Ye Kong. Ye Kong dodged nimbly, and the beast knocked off some of the leaves on the tree.
This angered the beast. The beast opened its big mouth and attacked with its breath, directly knocking Ye Kong to the ground. The beast spread its legs, panting heavily, and kept stomping towards Ye Kong.
Ye Kong rolled his body to dodge, and cracks were whipped into the ground, with scorching lava bubbling up from the cracks.
Ye Kong got up and reached out his hand to block forward.
Boom.
Smack.
The spiritual energy in Ye Kong's body was blasted apart and released instantly.
A huge shockwave spread throughout the area.
Instantly, the entire place shook like an earthquake. Immediately, the beast jumped up, turned around, and protected the ancient tree.
Ye Kong also stopped, deciding not to entangle with it any further.
However, when Ye Kong looked down, the staircase had completely disappeared. He could go up but couldn't go down, and could only resign himself to spending his days in this place.
Ye Kong sat down with a thud.
Seeing that Ye Kong didn't move, the beast continued to sit down as well.
The man and the beast faced each other, sitting in silence.
Maintaining a strange harmony.
Meanwhile, Yuan Yang carried the Lion Camel Ridge disciples to the ice chamber. The Great Elder of Lion Camel Ridge then discovered that there was such a place under this cliff.
Excellent feng shui, surrounded by spiritual power, protected by true energy, undisturbed, it was a good place for secluded cultivation.
After that, the group walked forward and saw the huge barrier surrounded by light.
Getting inside was still a problem.
At this time, the Great Elder of Lion Camel Ridge heard a faint whimper.
The sound was emanating from the ice chamber, but it didn't sound like Ye Kong's voice.
Could it be Siqin!
This discovery excited everyone, and everyone cheered and applauded.
The Great Elder of Lion Camel Ridge was knowledgeable and had some understanding of this barrier before. The easiest way was to guide the person inside the ice chamber out.
"Now, as long as we can guide Siqin out, with the help of Siqin's power, we can break this barrier and rescue Siqin and Ye Kong!" The Great Elder of Lion Camel Ridge arranged.
"But Siqin, no one has ever seen it, how can we lure it out?"
"I know." A young disciple beside him took out a roast chicken.
Under this dark and damp cliff, after a day and a night of trials, the disciples of Lion Camel Ridge saw the roast chicken as if they were seeing a miraculous elixir, and they all reached out to grab it.
"This is for Siqin." The young disciple emphasized.
"No way, Siqin is an ancient divine beast. How can this little roast chicken easily lure it out?"
No one believed it.
