Chapter 965 Taking the Sun From the Ancient River of Sacrificial Yin (1)

The entire Moon Worship Region, except for the northwestern edge where a mountain range bordered another region, was surrounded by the Sacrificial Yin River.

This river surrounded all living beings in the region like a seal, forming a circle.

At that moment, the location Xu Qing arrived at belonged to the southwestern part of the Moon Worship Region. There were many mountains here and very little vegetation. Moreover, because he was close to the riverside, the wind that blew from the Sacrificial Yin River exuded the aura of death and decay.

However, in this gloomy atmosphere, the words carried by the wind, resembling the howls of wolves and tigers, seemed to break the eerie silence of the place, altering the ambiance in the blink of an eye.

Xu Qing’s expression was a little strange. Ling’er also revealed her head and looked ahead shyly as she whispered.

“Brother Xu Qing, what are they doing?”

After saying that, she even used Xu Qing’s collar to cover her face.

Li Youfei, who was at the side, had no idea where Xu Qing was bringing him. At that moment, on the shore of the Sacrificial Yin, he heard the voices coming from afar. His expression was a little strange and he instinctively took a few steps back, feeling a little uneasy.

Although he felt that it was unlikely, he couldn’t help but think of Xu Qing’s true motive for giving him so many curse-resolving pills and the other party’s decisiveness in rejecting the clay fox.

‘It shouldn’t be…’ Li Youfei’s heart trembled as he comforted himself.

Xu Qing didn’t understand his nervousness. At that moment, he looked into the distance and observed his surroundings.

There were restrictions in this area.

Other than concealment, the effect of this restriction was also to isolate. Not only did it isolate sound, but it also isolated vision.

Previously, when Xu Qing got close, he had already sensed it and could tell that it was set up with the captain’s blood. Moreover, it had marked his aura, allowing him to enter unhindered.

Xu Qing revealed a contemplative expression. After taking a few steps, he squatted down and touched the ground.

According to his senses, this place was the eye of the restriction.

Almost at the instant Xu Qing’s hand touched it, an eye suddenly crawled out of the sand on the ground and blinked at Xu Qing. After that, similar eyes appeared in all directions.

There were also some blue worms that crawled out.

The range was so large that it covered a total of 500 kilometers. This scene caused Li Youfei’s heart to tremble as though he was facing a great enemy. He really felt that the strangeness of this place was the same as the white wind in the desert, giving him a terrifying feeling.

Similarly, all of this also moved Xu Qing. He couldn’t help but mutter inwardly.

‘Before Eldest Senior Brother left, he said that he wanted to do a small matter… What small matter requires him to seal 500 kilometers?’

While Xu Qing was pondering, those eyes and the blue worms all swayed, emitting cheering emotions. There was also the captain’s voice echoing from them.

“Haha, Little Qing, you’re here. Hurry up and help us pluck it!”

Xu Qing’s expression was strange but he didn’t hesitate. With a sway of his body, he walked forward. As he moved forward, the eyes and worms on the shore quickly spread out, clearing a path.

Following the path, Xu Qing sped along, the whispers and panting sounds growing louder in his ears. After nearly eight minutes, he felt himself passing through a hidden membrane that seemed as fluid as the water’s surface. At that moment, the scene concealed in this place came into view for Xu Qing.

The first thing that caught Xu Qing’s attention was a colossus standing on the distant shore.

This was a huge door frame-shaped building made of bronze-colored boulders. It was 30,000 feet tall and 10,000 feet wide.

It was erected on the riverbank like an ancient giant, emitting an astonishing pressure and majestic aura.

Upon closer inspection, one could even see countless ancient runes engraved on the bronze-colored boulders. They were densely packed and gave off an incomparably complicated feeling.

What caused Xu Qing’s heart to tremble the most was that what existed in the door frame wasn’t a door but rather a peculiar object formed by concentric rings of black metal within the frame.

The circular rings at the top and bottom were the smallest, and the central section was the largest, resembling a conical spring.

It was covered in rust and even had some drops of red river water in places, as if it had been recently pulled out from the river.

Looking at this item, Xu Qing couldn’t guess what it was. Hence, his gaze landed on the river at the side. The captain, Wu Jianwu, and Ning Yan were there.

The three stood in a row, with the captain at the front, holding onto a vine, panting heavily, their bodies forming an arch as they continuously pulled.

Behind him was Wu Jianwu and his strange descendants. All of them were pulling the vine forcefully.

As for Ning Yan, he was positioned at the back, sitting on the ground with his legs spread wide, his heels buried in the sand. He grasped the vine with both hands on his abdomen, wailing and exerting force at the same time.

“No, it’s really about to break…”

That vine was connected to his navel and extended very long, directly reaching the long river of Sacrificial Yin in front of him.

At that moment, as they pulled, the river churned. There seemed to be a huge circular object being pulled up bit by bit from the bottom of the river.

“Little Qing, come and help.”

The captain flicked his hair and wiped the sweat off his forehead as he shouted at Xu Qing.

Wu Jianwu also lifted his head and panted as he looked at Xu Qing.

As for Ning Yan, he had nothing to live for and wailed.

“Boss, save me…”

Almost as he began to speak, a streak of mixed light shot out from Xu Qing, it was the parrot. It had grown some scruffy feathers, but it looked even uglier now.

It flew onto Wu Jianwu in an instant, crying like a child who had escaped from a demon’s clutches and found its family.
