Chapter 020 - Crocodile Ancestor
A chilling roar came from the direction of the Great Thunder Sound Temple, like an ancient flood beast cracking the earth and breaking free from its seal, roaring the mountains and rivers, shaking the stars and the moon, and giving people a shiver from their souls.
But then it was completely calm again, that terrifying roar returned to peace, and only the rumbling of a sandstorm remained outside the five-colored altar.
"What was that?"
"Are there other creatures on Mars?"
"Legend has it that the Buddha suppressed a lot of demons and devils, so perhaps the sealed place is near the Great Thunder Sound Temple."
After only a few sentences of discussion, the crowd had the feeling that their hearts were pounding, as a modern urbanite who had ever believed in these legends. Today experienced all sorts of unbelievable things, and at this moment associated with even more terrifying legends, everyone's heart surged heavenly horrifying waves.
If the conjecture comes true, then their situation will be extremely worrisome, the Great Thunder Sound Temple has been ashes and smoke, there is no longer Buddha, no longer there are deities, if they alone will face the kind of myths and legends of the demon, the end can be imagined.
"Today for us, the mind is constantly being shocked and overwhelmed ......"
"The demons and devils of myths and legends of the past may come alive in front of us!"
The thought of the possibilities of what was to come gave rise to a chill in everyone's heart, and their bodies went ice cold.
The endless possibilities, the unknown destiny, made people fearful and worried!
And at this moment in front of everyone's eyes there was still a cold corpse lying, blood staining the ground red, the faint smell of blood lingering. Reminding the crowd that the situation at hand was already very bad, something unknown had reappeared, taking away a fresh life right in front of their eyes.
"Tsk."
An inexplicable sound emanated from the corpse's head, instantly causing many people present to tense up.
"Barf."
Like the sound of eating and chewing, it sounded very unpleasant, after all, it was a human head ah, unknown creatures seemed to be feeding in it, causing the chills of many people present to stand up.
"Cackle cackle cackle!"
The sound of bones grinding resounded, as if there were sharp teeth cutting through the skull, and the atmosphere of the scene was suddenly tense and depressing.
No one spoke anymore, the five-colored altar was quiet all of a sudden, many people didn't dare to utter a single breath, it was so quiet that a frightening aura permeated the scene.
This was a kind of torment, the sound of eating, the sound of biting the skull, the two together, like a hellish fright song, torturing people's minds and hearts.
Many girls covered their mouths, wanting to cry but not daring to make a sound, this kind of battle made them near collapse.
Of course not everyone was fearful, those who held relics of gods had more or less some bottom in their hearts. Pang Bo had always been very raw, at the moment he felt very depressed, dragging the Great Thunder Sound Temple copper plaque he was about to go forward and smash open the head.
Ye Fan stopped him and said, "Don't act rashly."
"Pfft!"
Right at this moment, a stream of blood came out from the bloody hole on the forehead of the corpse that fell in a pool of blood, and there was also a stream of white liquid, and many people felt a wave of nausea, it was actually the brain plasma that flowed out.
Then, a black head like an awl poked out from that bloody hole on the head, tiny and sharp, covered in scale armor.
"What is that thing?"
The crowd all involuntarily fell back, even Ye Fan and Pang Bo retreated a few steps.
It was a strange creature shaped like a crocodile, drilling out from the bloody hole on the corpse, its body was not only stained with blood, but also white brain matter, making one's scalp numb when looking at it.
It was not more than ten centimeters long, only as thick as a finger, like a snake but not a snake, shaped like a crocodile, but no legs, bare under the belly, covered with black scales, ousen, like an evil creature from the netherworld.
Blood and brain matter stained its black scale armor, shocking to the eyes, making many people's hearts extremely uncomfortable, giving rise to a cold fear.
After this unidentified creature drilled out of the blood hole, it crawled on the corpse's head, a pair of very small eyes emitting an extremely cold and chilling aura, quietly staring at the crowd, like a high-level intelligent lifeform in general, rather than like a low-level lifeform.
Seven classmates, four years of schoolmates, several vivid lives, gone forever, actually devoured by such an incomparably ugly creature.
Its eyes were incomparably vicious, like a spiteful spirit coldly scanning the crowd, not as if it was looking at an equal being, but as if it was surveying its food.
"You mother of a three-inch ding, not even as long as a rat, how dare you get seven of my classmates killed, old me I'll smash you to death!" Pang Bo picked up the Great Thunder Sound Temple copper plaque and swung it violently, slapping that cold-blooded unspecified creature straight.
Thunder sound burst, light rushed to the sky, the copper plaque glowed with light, and the electric awns surged forward, flying horizontally and horizontally, intertwining into a heavenly net.
"Whoosh!"
However, this unknown creature was very swift, it seemed to know the power, and turned into a dark light rushing up, dodging through the brilliant light.
Ye Fan stepped forward with the bronze ancient lamp, he blew vigorously at the wick, a blazing divine flame spewed out and surged forward.
The hideous creature that was no more than a finger thick and ten centimeters long let out a mournful cry, the loudness of the sound was shocking, it was almost like a severe ghost hissing, causing people's ear drums to buzz and cool air to rise up their spine.
It was hard to imagine how such a tiny scaled body could make such a huge and terrifying sound.
The wick flame that Ye Fan blew out swooped out to a distance of three meters, but it didn't really engulf the unidentified creature, but it just slightly grazed its tail, causing its scales to fall off on the spot, and half of its charred tail severed and cut off.
It stared viciously at Ye Fan, having an expression like a human, hideous and incomparable, opening its mouth to reveal Sen Sen's sharp teeth, snow-white cold light flashing, hissing at Ye Fan in a low voice continuously.
"What the hell is this?" Many of the students in the back were in awe, not daring to go forward even though they had a deity artifact in their grasp.
"You three inch man, with such evil eyes, I will smash you." Pang Bo was fearless and very raw, swinging the Great Thunder Sound Temple copper plaque and charging forward, saying, "Getting seven of my classmates killed, and now I've only broken just one of your lousy tails, so you go to hell!"
Pang Bo's body was enveloped by the blinding light emitted by the copper plaque, like a furious god of war in general imposing, the copper plaque vibrated, the Buddha's voice moved to the sky, emitting a rumbling sound.
Ye Fan, on the other hand, was on the other side to surround this terrifying creature that only had half of its body left, the flames in the divine lamp rushed out like a furious dragon, the scorching temperature made the air seem to scorch.
At this time, Zhou Yi, Prince Wen and the others at the back also rushed over, simultaneously raising the relics of the gods they had obtained, slashing and smashing at the hideous creature shaped like a crocodile.
Although they were surrounded, the organism was too fast, like a black lightning bolt, constantly traversing the five-colored altar, making it difficult for the crowd to touch it.
Miserable cries came out, this hideous and terrifying creature was being chased and beaten by the crowd, it seemed to be incomparably resentful and furious, its cries were unceasing, like the nine ghosts of the Nine Hells were wailing.
"Chop!"
The sound of piercing through the light curtain came, several ugly creatures shaped like crocodiles managed to pierce through the light shield outside the five-colored altar and drilled in, all of them were no more than ten centimeters long, not different from the first one, and their gazes were as chilling as evil ghosts, as if they had an undying grudge, and they were incomparably grudgingly staring at everyone.
"Why are there so many of them?"
"What kind of creatures are these, is Mars their lair?"
A sense of powerlessness arose in the crowd, they weren't deities, they didn't know how to utilize the artifacts in their hands, they could only rely on the light autonomously emitted by the Buddha artifacts to block the killing machines, and now that so many hideous creatures had appeared, it was simply impossible to destroy all of them.
At this time, the sound of "rustle" came out, outside the light shield, densely packed, hundreds of crocodile-like ferocious creatures appeared.
Behind Ye Fan and the others, those who had not made a move and were weak had already trembled, if so many ferocious creatures rushed in together, even if there were relics of gods, they might not be able to defend themselves!
"Pang Bo don't chase, let's gather together." Ye Fan shouted to Pang Bo.
Now that so many hideous ferocious creatures had appeared, it was simply impossible to kill them all, defense was the best strategy at the moment, as long as we waited until the five-colored altar had accumulated enough energy to open the Starry Sky Ancient Path.
"Ow roar ......"
Suddenly, a huge roar that made people's souls tremble once again came from the direction of the Great Thunder Sound Temple!
With this heart-stopping hiss, the sandstorms outside all seemed to instantly stand still, as there was no other sound in this heaven and earth, only that rolling and stirring beast roar.
The earth shook continuously, and the five-colored altar all shook for a while, and the storm outside was completely suppressed.
"The Great Thunder Sound Temple ...... is the lair of a ferocious creature!" Someone trembled.
The crowd looked outside the light shield, more and more terrifying creatures gathered, looking at the orientation it was from the direction of the Great Thunder Sound Temple, all over the place were ebony black scales, densely packed, there were thousands of them.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the crowd felt a violent shaking of the earth, followed by an extremely tragic aura suddenly coming from a thousand meters away, reaching up to the heavens and down to the Yellow Springs, drumming the heavens and earth!
Even though there was a sandstorm separating the outside, the crowd still saw two lantern-like terrifying eyes that appeared at the ruins of the Great Thunder Sound Temple, piercing through the dark space.
It was like a volcano erupting there, with rocks piercing through the air, and quite a few house-sized boulders, falling heavily near the five-colored altar, with a shocking sound.
"It is the foundation of the Great Thunder Sound Temple ...... crumbling, there is something terrifying coming out of the ground!"
If this is the case, even if the crowd holds a few holy relics left behind by the gods in their hands, I'm afraid that they won't be of any use at all.
"I seem to know what this ferocious thing shaped like a crocodile is ......" said a female student with a trembling voice.
The Tibetan area of Buddhism is the most respected, almost everyone believes in, this female students have been to Tibet, visited the Da Zhao Temple and the small Zhao Temple and other important places of Buddhism, have heard a local old Tibetans said some legends.
It is said that the Buddha's residence under the Great Thunder Sound Temple, is not what the pure land and good land, but suppressed a lot of the world's demons, which the first layer of suppression is the crocodile ancestor, for an ancient god crocodile, boundless power, but ultimately suppressed by the Buddha.
"Are you saying that there are quite a few Gai Shi demons suppressed under the Great Thunder Sound Temple, the holy land of the Buddhist sect?"
"That old Tibetan who believes in Buddhism did say that."
Upon hearing all of this, the crowd felt a chill run through their bodies, if this was really the case, the Great Thunder Sound Temple there must be the Crocodile Ancestor about to come out of the world, and all of these ugly ferocious creatures were its offspring and grandchildren.
Ye Fan furrowed his brows and said, "I once saw some records in an ancient miscellany ......"
In that miscellany, there was a kind of limbless and clawless "crocodile" with a body as strong as a diamond, which could fly through the sky and escape from the ground, and could easily pierce through flesh and blood, and was known as the Divine Crocodile.
Zhou Yi nodded his head and said, "I have also seen a similar ancient book ......."
According to legend, there are records in the Buddhist heritage that the ancestor of the Divine Crocodile was suppressed by the Buddha, and since then none of its descendants have ever appeared in the world again.
The crowd had the feeling of unreality, some legends used to be listened to as stories, but now they actually have to witness it in person, making people both shocked and terrified.
"That old Tibetan said that the crocodile ancestor was suppressed in the first layer under the Great Thunder Sound Temple, does that mean there is a second layer, a third layer ...... " a female student asked with trembling.
No one answered, right now if there is really a Crocodile Ancestor coming out, then it is already enough to destroy them all.
Rustling noises came from the thousands of small crocodiles that appeared outside the five-colored altar and were drilling into it with force.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the five-colored altar shook, and ancient runes of five colors appeared in the sky, like a star shining, and the Taiji Bagua Diagram was about to emerge, a sign of opening the Ancient Path of Starry Sky.
However, a terrifying vibration came from the ruins of the Great Thunder Sound Temple more than a thousand meters away at the same time, the lantern-like blood-colored eye rose several meters, it was obvious that it was escaping from the boundaries of the underground palace, and was rushing out of the ground.
Escape from here, escape from Mars! This was everyone's thought, and many people were praying for the Starry Sky Ancient Road to be opened as soon as possible, even if it was to float forever in the withering universe, it was still more peaceful than being here.
