Chapter 2 The Temple of Terror(1/2)

Chen Nan climbed the nine steps and walked resolutely towards the main entrance of the hall. The tiger king was pulled by his ears and followed him a few steps forward, but when it came to the dark and lightless devil's mouth, it refused to move forward anymore.

Four tiger claws scraped the ground hard.

Chen Nan whispered: "Selhu, hurry up."

Tiger King Xiaoyu shook his head desperately. He raised a tiger paw and gestured for a while, with a look of horror in his eyes.

Seeing that it refused to move, Chen Nan used the Xuan Gong to lift it up from the ground by its neck, and then walked towards the main hall. Although Xiaoyu kept struggling, it was difficult to escape Chen Nan's strong palm.

The moment Chen Nan stepped into the main hall, a cold air rushed towards him. In this hot summer, the palace was as cold as an ice cellar. He placed the tiger king on the ground. The tiger king trembled and its body shrank rapidly.

, and then a "swish" sound came to his shoulders, and two small tiger claws grabbed a strand of his hair.

"Sexy tiger releases its claws!" Chen Nan shouted in a low voice.

Xiaoyu grabbed it hard and refused to let go despite his scolding. At the same time, she showed a look of panic. Chen Nan had no choice but to let it stay on his shoulder and walked forward slowly.

"Ta", "Ta", "Ta"...

In the empty, dark hall, there was only the echo of monotonous footsteps. Other than that, there was dead silence. In this darkness where he could not see his fingers, Chen Nan groped forward with his keen sense of spirituality.

After walking forward for nearly ten feet, several steps appeared at his feet. A stone door blocked the way on the stone platform. When he pushed towards the stone door, Xiaoyu let out an uneasy growl, and then lifted up his clothes.

The leader got into his arms with a "swish" sound.

"I'm XXXX, Sehu, you want to scare me to death? You actually got into my arms..." Chen Nan pulled it out and threw it on the ground. But Xiaoyu immediately jumped onto his shoulder and held it firmly

grabbed his hair.

"As timid as a mouse, he must be the reincarnation of a mouse, not like a tiger at all."

Chen Nan pushed open the stone door, and inside was a very open hall. The four walls were inlaid with pearls emitting a faint green light. The faint green light made the hall look particularly strange, like a gloomy underworld.

When he saw the scene inside clearly, he took in a breath of cold air and his scalp was numb with shock. There were two rows of mummies standing on both sides of the hall. The dried skin and flesh were tightly wrapped on the thin bones. The twisted facial features were extremely ferocious. Chen

Nan's heart was beating wildly, and he almost suspected that he had stepped into the netherworld.

"Cough..." An old cough suddenly sounded in the hall. Chen Nan jumped up in shock. Xiaoyu who was hiding on his shoulder fell down, but it immediately came back. Chen Nan grabbed it.

He grabbed it and unconsciously exerted force with his hands, pinching Xiaoyu until he rolled his eyes. He didn't let go hurriedly until Xiaoyu gave him a claw.

He quickly stepped back, but found that the stone door had been closed long ago and could not be pushed open. Xiaoyu growled uneasily on his shoulder, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

Chen Nan stabilized his mind and shouted loudly: "Who is it? Those who are hiding in the dark, come out quickly."

The old voice echoed in the hall: "Young man, don't speak so rudely. I've been staying here forever, how could I have escaped? Now that you barged in for no reason, why are you blaming me?"

Chen Nan used his keen spiritual sense to search the hall over and over again, but found nothing. Apart from him and Xiaoyu, there was no sign of life at all in the hall, which made him feel frightened.

After a while, the old voice sounded again: "Meeting is fate. I didn't expect someone to set foot here. Young people, let's talk."

Chen Nan said: "You don't even want me to see you. Isn't it too insincere?"

"I'm really not hiding. Since you insist on seeing me, just keep moving forward."

Chen Nan walked forward step by step. Xiaoyu looked around nervously over his shoulder. When he stepped between the two rows of mummies, it swooped into Chen Nan's arms again, leaving only a little tiger behind.

With his head exposed outside, he watched vigilantly what was going on nearby.

"Come out, you perverted tiger." But this time, no matter how Chen Nan pulled it, Xiaoyu's little tiger claws were firmly holding on to his clothes and refused to come out.

"Haha, kitten, didn't you come here a hundred years ago? Did you miss me and come back to see me again?"

After hearing this, Xiaoyu couldn't hold back any longer, and got out of Chen Nan's arms with a "swish" sound, stepped on Chen Nan's face and climbed onto his head, grabbing his hair and looking around.

"I'm XXXX, Sehu. You dare to sit on my nose and put your head on my head. I'm so angry." Chen Nan grabbed it off and threw it at the feet of a mummy.

"Roar"

Tiger King Xiaoyu let out a low growl in fright, and then quickly ran back to Chen Nan's feet, a small tiger claw nervously grabbing his trouser leg.

"Haha, kitten, you are still as timid as you were a hundred years ago. I won't eat you, so what's so scary?" The old voice echoed throughout the hall, and it was unclear where it came from.

Chen Nan walked forward a few feet, and a mummy next to him suddenly turned his head and grinned at him, his white teeth shining with a strange light.

"Roar" Xiaoyu roared and quickly ran a few feet away. At this time, it was standing upside down with all its hair, looking at the mummy in horror from a distance.

"Ah" Chen Nan also screamed in surprise and stepped back seven or eight steps in a row. He felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart, and it was freezing from head to toe. He pulled out the long knife from behind and shouted: "

Are you a human or a ghost?"

The "mummy" walked out of the corpse column. His whole body was skinny and bones, and he walked stiffly, just like a zombie.

He smiled and said: "We are still alive now, but we are not far from death." Then he waved to Xiaoyu in the distance and said: "Little cat, you accidentally broke into the Demon Palace a hundred years ago and didn't find me until you left. Now,

Now that you have seen my old man’s true face in Lushan, are you still as scared as before?”

Looking at the zombie-like, ghost-like living skeleton, Xiaoyu was filled with fear. It had already enlarged its body and was ready to fight.

Chen Nan looked at the "mummy" in front of him with disbelief and said: "Are you...really alive? How could it be like this?"

"Yes, I am indeed still alive. Don't be afraid, let's have a good chat. I haven't seen a living person for many years."

This time, Chen Nan finally sensed the weak pulse of life in the body of the "mummy" when he was running the Xuan Gong, but it was intermittent, and there was almost no sign of life. Chen Nan was sure that this was indeed an old man with a trace of life. He must have used it just now

He has developed a sound technique that makes it difficult for people to identify his location.

Chen Nan put the long sword on his back, walked a few steps forward, came to a distance of less than ten feet from the old man, and stood opposite him. Xiaoyu, however, refused to come over, and looked at this place in horror from a distance.

The old man said: "I think you must be full of doubts at this moment, right?"

Chen Nan said: "Yes, it is simply unimaginable that there is such a terrifying hall in the vast mountains. Can I ask you some questions?"

"Yes, you can ask questions. I'm not going to die for long. If I don't tell the secrets in my heart now, I'm afraid I won't have another chance in the future."

"What kind of place is this?"

"Demon Palace."

"The Demon Palace, could it be that a demon created this palace?"

"It was created by an ancient god."

"Since it was created by God, why is it called the Demon Temple?"

"Because that ancient god felt that he had fallen and was no longer worthy of being called a god."

"How did he fall?"

"He and another fallen ancient god fought over a sacred treasure. In the end, although he was lucky enough to win, he was seriously injured and dying, and he has remained in the human world ever since."

Chen Nan's heart moved. The owner of this demon temple was most likely one of the ancient gods recorded in the ancient sheepskin scroll unearthed in Sin City. However, the content recorded in the ancient sheepskin scroll was somewhat different from what the old man said.

The old man said: "Young man, have you heard about the two ancient gods before? Otherwise, why wouldn't you be shocked at all?"

"Yes." Chen Nan told the rumors about the ancient gods of Sin City.

The old man sighed: "I didn't expect that the battle between gods thousands of years ago was recorded, but it was different from the facts."

"What are the facts?"

"The master of this hall was so superior that he killed another ancient god until he was seriously injured and dying. When that ancient god was about to die, he suddenly self-destructed his divine body. Although the master of the demon temple was protected by treasure armor, he was still seriously injured and dying. His

His divine power had reached its lowest point, and he was unable to sense the divine treasure lost in the mountains. He hurriedly put away the bones of the ancient god who had self-destructed his divine body, and fled back here in embarrassment to recuperate."

"What happened next?"

"The master of the Demon Palace has been cultivating here for a period of time. He was horrified to find that it was difficult to condense his divine power and could only maintain it at a very low level. He went to the place where the battle was fought several times to look for the lost divine treasure, but every time

Returned disappointed."

Hearing this, Chen Nan was a little nervous and said: "That... where did the ancient god go?"

The old man sighed and said: "He has been cultivating here for hundreds of years, but his supernatural power has never been restored. Once he went out and never came back."

"Ah" Chen Nan was shocked and said, "So the ancient god never came back... and just disappeared?"

"Yes, I really don't know if he is going to be bad or good with limited divine power."

It took Chen Nan a long time to come back to his senses after hearing these words, and murmured: "It's unbelievable. A god is wandering in the world..." Then he asked again: "Those giants living outside and

What does this devil’s palace have to do with it, and why do they have to worship this palace?”

"The ancestors of those giants were once tamed as slaves by the ancient gods. They worked hard when building this hall. They carried the black diamonds needed for the hall from distant mountains. The ancient gods are in their hearts.

Although he has disappeared for a long time, his divine power has been passed down from generation to generation among the giants. They have lived here for generations and guarded this demon temple."

"But...why did they pile up so many bones under the Demon Palace?"

"This is one of the secrets of the Demon Palace." The old man pointed to the ground and said: "Under this hall is an extremely powerful beast. The reason why the giant piled those bones outside the stone mountain is completely to carry out the execution of the ancient gods.

The order left behind. The ancient god has set up a great formation of nine ghost bones here, condensing the power of heaven and earth, gathering the souls of all souls, and frightening the savage beast underground so that it cannot come up to do evil."

Chen Nan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and was horrified in his heart. The beast that was restrained by the gods must be extremely frightening. Thinking that it was tens or hundreds of feet away from his feet, he felt chills.

"What kind of evil beast is this?"

"I don't know. No one has seen it except the owner of the Demon Palace. I can only hear its roar occasionally."

At this moment, a dull roar suddenly came from the ground. However, the sound was not very clear across the layers of the hall, but it was frightening to hear. Xiaoyu was shocked and quickly shrank to the size of a kitten, and then suddenly ran away

When it reached Chen Nan's shoulder, it stared vigilantly at the mummified old man opposite, while shaking its ears to listen to the whistling sound like a magical sound.

When Chen Nan was watching outside the main hall during the day, he heard a strange whistling sound. At this moment, he suddenly understood. When the whistling stopped, he asked: "Why did the ancient god trap it here? Why didn't he just direct it in the first place?"
