Chapter 1574: Time is running out
Shen Xiang, who was inside the Emperor's Tomb, had no idea that the outside was being attacked by a group of Heavenly Dragons. He was very quiet inside, and the crazy attacks outside could not shake the Emperor's Tomb.
Shen Xiang walked towards the Lion Mountain. He walked very slowly, concentrating and being alert in all directions. It was too quiet here. The Lion Mountain looked a little scary, so he had to be careful so as not to accidentally trigger some mechanisms.
The distance was not far, but he felt that it took him a long time to walk it. When he arrived at the foot of Lion Mountain, he was already sweating profusely. The tension of the journey had greatly drained his spirit.
"Everything is fine!" Shen Xiang turned his head to look at the road he had walked before, still in shock. He didn't know why, but the closer he got to here, the more pressure he felt, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He raised his head and looked upwards. He wanted to climb onto the raised lion's head and enter the Lion Mountain from its open mouth. Just in case, he did not use space travel, fearing that it would cause some noise and trigger a terrible mechanism or attack formation.
After resting for a while and getting rid of the tension, Shen Xiang carefully controlled the divine power in his body and lifted his body up to float in the air. He wanted to use this gentle method to get to the lion head, but as soon as he floated up, he felt a huge pressure coming down, which immediately pressed him to the ground, causing his entire body to sink into the mud.
"What's going on?" Shen Xiang was "hit" by the sudden strong pressure and was terrified. At this time, the pressure was still on him. He couldn't turn over at all. His whole face was sunk into the mud and he couldn't move.
After a while, the pressure dissipated, and Shen Xiang, who had been struggling, was finally able to sit up, gasping for breath. He was pressed down by the force just now, making it impossible for him to resist, as if he was being held down by a strong man, unable to move at all.
"Do I have to climb up?" Shen Xiang looked up into the sky, the thought that had jumped up in his mind had been dispelled. He had just experienced that mysterious and powerful force.
The surface of this Lion Mountain is very smooth, and there is no place to stand or climb, so it is not easy to climb up. However, this is only what Shen Xiang can see from his current position. He plans to go around this Lion Mountain first to see if there are other places that are convenient for climbing. Otherwise, if he wants to go up, it will definitely take a long time.
Before he had finished walking around the whole circle, he saw a straight staircase going up at the leg of Lion Mountain. It seemed to lead directly to the top of Lion Mountain. There were many levels of stairs, but it was nothing to Shen Xiang.
He wanted to use his magic to explore the way, but thinking that this place was so unusual, he didn't dare to try it rashly for fear of causing some unnecessary disaster.
He began to climb the stairs. The first hundred steps were easy to walk on, but after that, his feet suddenly became very heavy, and it felt like a mountain was pressing on his shoulders, making it difficult for him to walk, and each step was very strenuous.
"It's not that simple!" When Shen Xiang climbed up the 300th step, he was already out of breath and his legs were weak, and this staircase was still very long.
"Is this the only distance I can go?" Shen Xiang looked down. It was very low to the ground. He didn't walk very far, but he was very tired. He also found that the pressure would increase with every hundred steps. He couldn't estimate how much pressure he would have to endure when he was close to the top.
He took a few breaths and continued walking up the stairs with extremely heavy steps. Along the way, he was dripping with sweat.
After 500 steps, he could no longer walk any further, so he sat there to rest, intending to continue after he recovered.
He took out a few holy stones and quickly absorbed the pure power of the Holy Spirit inside to restore the energy that was almost exhausted. He had only been doing this for a short while when he suddenly frowned. He sat on a step, looked down along the steps, and counted carefully. He was only on the 450th step now, while he remembered that he had clearly passed the 100th step.
"Damn it, this ladder can move. Am I not allowed to stop and rest? This is too bullying!" Shen Xiang looked at the stairs carefully while absorbing the holy power in the holy stone. After a while, he saw dozens of stairs shrinking into the ground in a very strange way, and he couldn't even feel it.
"It seems that I cannot stop. If I rest any longer, I will have to return to where I was." Shen Xiang took out a beast pill of a holy beast and activated the Devouring Magic Art to devour the large amount of pure holy power inside to make up for the strength he had consumed.
He continued to climb the mountain. He had only rested for a short while, which was equivalent to climbing the hundred steps in vain. While absorbing the holy energy to replenish himself, he gritted his teeth and climbed this strange Lion Mountain. Although the pressure he was under was increasing, he could not stop and could only climb up desperately, otherwise he would not be able to enter this Lion Mountain.
This specially built imperial tomb also has the sun, moon and stars, and the alternation of day and night. Shen Xiang set out at noon and climbed only a thousand steps until night.
"I don't know when I can get up there. Isn't it just entering an emperor's tomb? Is it so tiring?" Shen Xiang secretly groaned in his heart. If he knew this would be the case, he would not have come, because his evil dragon burial ground would soon be besieged. If he spent a long time here, by the time he went back, it would be too late.
At that time, everyone else was resisting the attack, but he was absent, and he felt very sorry.
If there was a way out, he might have turned back immediately, but after he entered this space, he did not find any way out. His only hope was in the lion's mouth, but to get there, he had to climb this ladder.
This huge Lion Mountain is very high. The white clouds floating in the sky are not even half as high as the mountain. He roughly estimated that if he wanted to reach the top, there would be about 100,000 steps.
If it were an ordinary staircase, he would not think a single hundred thousand or even a million was anything but a big deal. However, the staircase in this place was extremely difficult to carry. When he stepped on it, it was like carrying a mountain, and it was getting heavier and heavier.
He looked up the stairs and secretly complained in his heart: "At my current speed, I don't know how many years it will take. I have been in Xuanhan Ancient Domain for a month. In about four months, those big forces will besiege my dragon vein. By then, the Heavenly Domain may also participate. If the Heavenly Dragon Clan also comes, I hope they will not put up any resistance and just run away."
Thinking of the Tianlong Clan, Shen Xiang thought of Long Xueyi whose whereabouts were unknown, and secretly sighed in his heart: "I didn't expect that this little dragon is really the Tianlong Emperor. She will definitely be very powerful in the future. If she is here, maybe I can find a way to get up."
