The ghoul makes two different proposals.
Or leave the abyss from salkomander, the abandoned city in the valley below the cold plain. There are steps made of black saltpeter in the city, connecting the upper and lower abysses of dreamland, guarded by winged diorite lions.
Either leave the dreamland through the cemetery, and then walk down the 70 steps leading to shallow sleep to the flame cave, and then walk down the 700 steps leading to the door of deep sleep and enchanting forest.
"How long does it take?" Zhang asked The ghoul said, "it takes ten days to get to Oz city from here and eight days to get to the cemetery."
All of a sudden, they rejected. They had to go to dillas within seven days.
Obviously, neither plan is suitable for everyone.
"In that case, let me take you through the country of the ancient giants surrounded by high walls."
Everyone turned to protect Nasi Kam, only she probably knew the way.
Nasi Kam, the guardian, nodded and thought the road was feasible.
"Why do you want to help us?" Zhang asked
The ghoul said with a smile, "although we don't see the battle at the bottom of the abyss, for you, if you want to destroy a tribe like us, you should turn over your hands and destroy it?"
There was no denial.
Zhang lie sneered: "so, if we succeed, we can send away a group of plague gods and promise not to hurt the tribe. If we fail, we will be buried in the land of the ancient colossus."
"In fact, we don't have to be so troublesome. Let's just kill it," Yang said
The ghost said, "but don't you want to be in a hurry?"
"It makes sense."
It's a waste of time to fight a giant whose strength is unknown to a country.
Although a lot of time has been wasted along the way, no one is willing to start a meaningless battle.
"Within an hour after the giants eat and drink, and stay in the room to sleep, they have a chance to sneak through the dark country with round stone pagodas and arrive at the central tower engraved with the seal of Coase. There is an upward ladder on the tower, which leads to the movable stone gate in the enchanting forest. "
In addition, the ghoul specially reminded: "be careful of a huge cave next to the cemetery, because it is the entrance of Xin Zhi's tomb. Demons and ghosts full of hatred are waiting there at any time, waiting for the residents from the upper part of the abyss, because the latter hunts them for food."
Yang Ze asked curiously, "who is Xin?"
The ghoul said, "the emperor who once ruled the underworld, the master of the dark kingdom. When he ruled, there were terrible demons and ghosts, which could hardly be killed. "
"It's like ghouls are said to be transformed by dead people. After ghouls die, some people say they will be transformed into demons," guard Nasi Kam said
The ghoul said: "Xin sealed a large number of demons and ghosts in his own tomb and suppressed countless demons and ghosts with his own soul. But after many years, his weak soul could not be suppressed. After the ancient leather giant fell asleep, the demons and ghosts would try to come out."
"I've heard about them attacking both the Gremlin and the ghoul, because they don't have the ability to tell the difference," guard Nasi Kam said. Demons and ghosts are very primitive creatures that feed on their compatriots. "
The ghoul said: "the ancient colossus had a sentry in the narrow part of Xin Zhi's tomb, but he often dozed off and sometimes was suddenly attacked by a large group of demons. Demons can't survive in real light, but in the dark light of the abyss, they can endure for hours
After discussion, he set out immediately, climbed through the endless tunnel, and entered the dim light again, surrounded by a forest of mossy boulders.
These huge stones are so high that you can't see the end at a glance. They are the tombstones commonly used by the ancient leather giants.
They turned to drill out of the cave and looked to the right. It was a corridor made of huge stones. At the end of the corridor, there was an amazing landscape beyond imagination: a huge circular stone tower stood in the gray air of the earth's center, as if it was extending upward infinitely.
This is the grand city of the ancient colossus. All the doors are thirty feet high.
Ghouls often visit here, because finding a giant's body buried in the earth is enough for the villagers to eat for a whole year. Even if it's extremely dangerous, digging the giant's body is more cost-effective than digging the grave.
Right in front of it is the exit of the cemetery. A vertical cliff rises from the ground. There is a huge and terrible cave under the cliff.
The ghouls told them to stay away from the cave as far as possible, because it was the entrance to the ominous Tomb of sin. The ancient giants hunted demons and ghosts in the darkness of the cave.
Sure enough, the reminder was soon confirmed: just as the ghouls were about to slip to the towers to see if the ancient Colossus was asleep on time, a pair of orange red eyes lit up in the huge dark cave, and then another pair.
A pair of red eyes, lit up in the dark cave, dense to see very creepy.
This means that the ancient colossus has just lost a sentinel, and the demons and ghosts have a very sensitive sense of smell.
So the ghoul retreated into the cave, gesturing to be quiet.
They had better not provoke the demons, and maybe they will retreat soon. After all, they must be very tired after they have just solved a giant sentry in the dark tomb.
After a while, something as big as a pony jumped out of the hole and jumped into the gray light.
Carter felt sick at the sight of the despicable Monster: it had an inexplicably human face without a nose, forehead and other important details.
The number soon reached 15, one after another planing on the ground, like kangaroos, jumping to the towering towers and boulders in the gray light.
The appearance of these animals is ugly and out of proportion, which is desirable and disgusting; But what's more disgusting is that they still talk to each other with the coughing language.
However, although they are frightening enough, they are not as terrible as the thing that follows them and suddenly emerges from the cave.
It was a claw, two and a half feet wide, with a terrifying pointed toe. Then another claw was stretched out from the hole, and a thick arm covered with black hair was exposed. The two claws were born on this arm and connected with it by two short forearms.
Then, two pink eyes lit up, it is the wake of the ancient giant sentry, it staggered out of the head as big as a bucket. Its eyes are two inches high on each side of its head, surrounded by bony bumps and coarse hair.
But the most terrible thing about the head is the mouth, which cracks from the top of the head to the bottom, vertical rather than horizontal, with yellow fangs.
However, before the ancient colossus could climb out of the cave and stand up to twenty feet, the evil spirits attacked it.
