Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 953 – The Dragon Gate that Can’t be leapt over

“What’s going on?”

Du Shoushou still did not find anything special about the place, to the point that he suspected that he had only seen the wondrous scene before. He pointed at the clouds floating in the sky. “Doesn’t that look like …”

His words came to an abrupt end before they could finish, because the incomparably huge fish in the sky had already disappeared.

An Zheng: “Wait for me, I’ll look around. I feel that there’s something wrong here.”

Du Shoushou asked: “What are you looking for?”

An Zheng shook his head: “I don’t know what to look for, I just want to look.”

Du Shoushou: “Then don’t bother looking for something, we’ll help you find it.”

Chen Shaobai squatted at the side, using a small wooden stick to dig out a corner of a cloth bag from within the soil, he reached out and pulled out the cloth bag: “Are you looking for this?”

He opened the cloth bag. Inside were some women’s clothes that were not yet rotten. He took ouiece of cloth and put it on. Chen Shaobai’s face turned green, and he sensed that something bad was about to say.

“Oh, your sense of smell is quite sensitive.”

“Scram …”

Du Shoushou moved closer to take a look: “That means that this secret realm we are in was created by a female cultivator. Then, that room full of books from before … My God, this is amazing. ”

An Zheng did not care about the two guys, and looked around the two hills. He was facing the lowest point and could not see anything. Suddenly, An Zheng realized something. Previously, when he saw that strange scene, he wasn’t facing it directly, but was leaning on it. Therefore, he immediately ran away and looked at them from the side. He discovered that the uneven surface on the two hills had become astonishingly flat at a certain angle.

From this angle, the other mountain was also flat. In other words, this was the angle An Zheng was looking at the door. Right at this moment, the last ray of golden light shone from afar and landed right in the middle of the two mountains. The angle was different, so the center was not the center, but the center, from where An Zheng was standing right now. No wonder he couldn’t find anything after searching for a long time, he was actually in the wrong place.

An Zheng rushed there, Du Shoushou and Chen Shaobai following him. An hour before that golden hour, An Zheng had rushed over to the place he was standing, and then discovered that there was a very strange pattern beneath his feet. An Zheng reached out to touch the pattern. The tentacles were ice-cold, as if they were made of some kind of metal. When An Zheng touched it, he discovered that the pattern was protruding and there was a small circle ring beneath it.

It was a ghost-mask design, witideous face and bared fangs, just like the legendary Yaksha. An Zheng grabbed the ring and pulled it out, and with a kacha sound, the two sides of the hill started moving. The uneven surface began to contract, and two beams of light shot out from both sides. Finally, they met in midair and formed the shape of a door.

“Go in?”

Du Shoushou was stunned for a moment. “What if there’s some sort of danger and you can’t get out?”

Chen Shaobai summoned out his Scythe of Death and carried it on his shoulder: “I’m not afraid, I’m not worried at all. I still have two good girls to accompany me.”

Du Shoushou gritted his teeth: “Stop messing around, I … And sometimes there are two nice girls with you. ”

An Zheng waved his hand: “I’ll go in first. If there’s no danger, I’ll call you guys over.”

Du Shoushou: “Cut the crap.”

He and Chen Shaobai suddenly reached out their hands together, and the two of them held onto one of An Zheng’s arms, and lifted him up as they walked forward.

“Then let’s die together. It’s no big deal.”

Just like that, the three of them walked through the golden door. Then, it was followed by a blazing white light, making it so that no one could see anything. Only a vast expanse of white was left behind, causing them to even suspect that they had lost their sight. This kind of white gave people an intense uneasiness, only then would they realize that the absolute white and the absolute black were the same, causing people to be terrified.

After a long time, the white light disappeared, and the three of them sat there rubbing their eyes. At this time, if there was a sneak attack from any powerful expert, all three of them would be at a disadvantage. However, after the white light disappeared, there was only a bone-piercing chill, and no danger at all.

Only when their eyes got used to it did they realize that the surrounding white was covered with snow. They were not people who had never seen snow before. State of Yan was located in the northern border and had been snowing for a long time during the winter. However, he had never seen such white snow before. It was so white that it made people feel like there was no other color in the world.

The snow was too thick and too cold, so it had turned into something like a stone. But if you looked down, you would be able to distinguish the appearance of the snowflakes. They had six crystals, and were so beautiful.

“It looks likiver.”

An Zheng looked around him. The two sides were very high, around ten meters, and the slope was very complete. Even though it was covered withick layer of snow, one could tell that both sides were artificially constructed things. They were in the middle of a river that had once been thousands of meters wide. It was unknown how such a large river had dried up in the first place. Moreover, it had been covered by snow.

“River?”

Du Shoushou suddenly became sad: “I miss Ying Yu.”

“Why?”

“There are fish in the river.”

“You are so loving, I suddenly want to castrate you.”

Chen Shaobai glared at him and looked forward. Suddenly, he saw a large protrusion, which was oval in shape, like the back of a big fish. An Zheng and the others ran over to take a look. The exposed part was at least a few hundred meters long, and this part was merely a part of the fish’s dorsal fin.

“An Zheng... Is this your fish? ”

“No …” “I know.”

An Zheng was panicking in his heart, he kept thinking that this situation was a little strange. From the parts that were revealed, he guessed that this fish was around the same size as the one he met in Mount Cang Man. If this was the Holy Fish, it would have died here … What did it portend?

Du Shoushou used his hands and feet to climb onto the back of the huge fish to take a look. Then, his expression changed: “An Zheng, you better come up and take a look.”

An Zheng also climbed onto the fish’s back and looked into the distance, then his heart skipped a beat. On the river, large fish with their dorsal fins exposed were being frozen, one by one, and their ends could not be seen.

“What’s going on?”

An Zheng took out his Broken Army Sword s and carefully hacked them down, wanting to cut off the ice on the back that was wrapped around the fin. However, the ice had become one with the frozen fish, and there was no way to separate it. However, after the layer of ice thinned, he discovered that the scales were indeed the same as the big fish he met in Mount Cang Man. An Zheng was very sensitive to scales, because the first Holy Fish Scale was obtained from the Mount Cang Man.

“It looks like there are at least a few hundred of them.”

The three of them left the back of the fish and continued walking. As they got further away, they realized that the age of the frozen big fish was also getting further and further away. The color of the layer of ice was completely different. An Zheng guessed that it was at leashousand years apart. In the endless years, this kind of big fish came from the unknown lands one after another, but eventually froze to death in these rivers.

“Ah, the Spring Dragon’s Gate. It doesn’t turn into a dragon just by jumping, but into a dead fish.”

Chen Shaobai said: “Now, I am sure that the one you saw is not here. All these may be the failures of the Spring Dragon Gate, and the one you saw was either not here or had already succeeded. ”

These large fish all had a huge amount of energy, but unfortunately, they were unable to obtain it. The river was too long. After walking for a long time, he still could not see the end of the river. The back fin of the big fish was also extended all the way down, seemingly endless. An Zheng and the others did not want to continue looking, so they all felt a little depressed. They climbed up the river bank and looked into the distance.

“What is this place?”

Du Shoushou pointed: “Did you see that, there seems to be light flashing within the castle.”

An Zheng nodded his head: “Be careful, even the Holy Fish level beasts are frozen, let’s not be as good as them here. In a moment, if you encounter any danger, turn around and run. ”

Du Shoushou: “This doesn’t seem to be your style.”

An Zheng: “Who cares what style he has, life is more important.”

The three of them walked towards the direction of the castle. Just as they left the river, the frozen fishes at the bottom of the river suddenly opened their eyes … Fish eyes do not close, but they are different. Those eyes were glowing with a deep blue light. It was incredibly strange.

“Why are there footprints?”

An Zheng squatted down and looked, although the footprints were shallow, if one did not look carefully, it would be impossible to find. However, with his many years of experience investigating cases in the Ming Fa Si, he naturally paid more attention to the details than others.

“There are quite a few of them, around a dozen or so. They have not been there for long. Judging from the size of the footprints, they should be men, with only one being smaller. Maybe it’s a woman. ”

An Zheng stood up and looked towards the castle: “Don’t split up.”

To their left, they saw a frozen forest that looked like an ice sculpture. If there was anyone in the castle, the three of them would see them at once from the plain. However, the forest extended all the way tlace not far from the castle, and the three of them immediately entered the forest. The frozen tree was in a bizarre shape, like a demon beast baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. Walking through the forest, there was an indescribable feeling of oppression.

“An Zheng, why do I feel like we will encounter an especially bad thing?”

Du Shoushou suddenly remembered that when he was young, he once again entered the forest and saw a strange person. Actually, ever since then, he had been somewhat conflicted with entering the forest by himself. That person would always appear in his dreams, once, without saying a word, only looking at him with a calm gaze. Who knew how many nights Du Shoushou would be so scared that he wouldn’t dare to sleep because of this dream that he wasn’t afraid of.

“Let’s go to the edge of the forest and check it out. If there’s any danger, let’s head back immediately.”

An Zheng was at the front of the group, and quickly reached the edge of the forest. Standing on top of a large, frozen tree, he looked towards the castle. On the highest point of the tower, there was a blue light flickering, as if carrying magic, which gave him an uncontrollable urge to go over and take a look. Right at this moment, An Zheng and the others saw a few people in white robes walking up the spiral staircase outside the Bell Tower, holding onto something.

“He doesn’t seem to be from the Central Plains.”

An Zheng frowned.

“Now that I think about it, aren’t these the people you just stuck a piece of Kobold Grass into that woman’s sword hilt? How did they manage to enter the Secret Realm? Without a map and a method to open the Secret Realm, how could a group of foreign clansmen be so familiar with the Immortal palace ruins? ”

“It would bity if the treasures of the Central Plains were taken by them.”

Du Shoushou said: “They can go, but why can’t we go?”

After saying that, he jumped down from the tree and rushed towards the castle likuman tank.

Chen Shaobai scolded this idiot and followed closely. Then, he saw that An Zheng was already in front. On the other side of the clock tower, the white robed men were spiraling upwards with something in their hands. Each of their expressions were solemn, as if they were preparing for some mysterious and solemn ceremony.

That old archmage was chanting something, like a song or a spell.
