It was easy to guide the golden light spots out.
However, as soon as the golden light spots floated out of the door, they immediately changed.
Among them, there were two finger-sized golden light spots that changed the fastest. Almost in an instant, they broke through the seal, and their bodies returned to normal. Moreover, they completed their transformation at an extremely fast speed. They turned into a giant black-headed centipede that was eighty meters long and an ugly toad that was twenty meters tall just by lying on the ground. The black-headed centipede was covered in armor, and its 80 pairs of legs were lined up like spears. Each leg was five to six meters long, and the tip was as sharp as a blade. As it slowly crawled on the ground, its hook-shaped jaws were raised, intentionally or unintentionally, and it opened and closed its jaws to show off to Lin Dong.
As soon as the giant black-headed centipede recovered, its body emitted a pungent stench.
It seemed to be a warning.
It was warning the enemy not to come close, or they would be killed without mercy.
Compared to the black-headed centipede, the ugly toad was like a dead object. Its old bark-like skin was full of lumps of various sizes, and it looked very disgusting. The ugly toad's eyes were tightly shut, and its mouth was slightly open. There was an unpleasant rancid smell coming from inside, as if it had been dead for a long time. If it wasn't Lin Dong, but someone else, they might have been fooled by its ability to play dead.
Lin Dong glanced at the ugly toad and realized that it was too big.
Even if it was lying on the ground without moving, it was still like a small mountain.
Although the black-headed centipede was long, in comparison, this ugly toad was still bigger.
This ugly toad was bigger, and in terms of combat power and intelligence, Lin Dong also felt that the toad that was pretending to be dead could crush the black-headed centipede.
The rock toads in Purgatory were too weak compared to this ugly toad. In front of this ugly toad, other than becoming food, there was nothing else that could be compared to it.
"Luckily, it's just a giant monster, and not a demon!" Lin Dong guessed that the seal in the room outside the hall was a monster, and not a demon that had already become a demon.
Monsters and demons were two different things.
The former only had a large body that surpassed ordinary creatures, but the latter, regardless of their size, were extremely terrifying existences.
Monsters were monsters that had transcended the boundaries of living things. They had begun to possess their own consciousness, talent and skills, and had developed their own unique individual abilities. In other words, they had become spirits! In the future, like cultivators, they would continue to advance. Their ultimate goal might be to become a monster king or something like that. There were even a few who could seize human bodies and turn into human cultivators. Using human bodies to continue their cultivation, they would become different kinds of evil cultivators. If there were no Heavenly Tribulations, they might even be able to awaken their ancient bloodline and become primitive monsters …
Of course, monsters grew very fast in the beginning, but after a certain point, they would stagnate.
Not every demon could evolve into a primordial demon beast.
Just like how not every cultivator could attain the Dao.
The Heavenly Tribulation was not just a trial of life and death for cultivators. It was also a trial of life and death for yaos. Every 500 years, a minor tribulation, a great tribulation, and even more terrifying Heavenly Tribulations awaited them. If they could not overcome these trials, the only outcome would be death.
The rules would not change because of any person or any monster. Within its rules, any life that could not break through was just an ant.
Only those who surpassed could attain the Dao and ascend.
"Huh?" Lin Dong discovered that the other golden dots had also recovered, but one of the creatures seemed to have truly died. Among the four giant creatures that had recovered, one was a flower-backed spider. Its body was more than five meters in diameter, but its legs were more than twenty meters long. Its huge eyes seemed to have a trace of intelligence. When it saw Lin Dong, it shrank into a ball and did not have the courage to resist like the black-headed centipede. Of course, compared to the black-headed centipede, the flower-backed spider was on a completely different level in terms of size and strength. As for the ugly toad, which had the largest body and the heaviest tonnage, it was even more inferior.
Apart from the flower-backed spider, there were two other living creatures — the Titan Python and the Wasp.
The Titan Python was more than forty meters long.
If it were not for the black-headed centipede and the ugly spider, it would be considered a giant creature. However, compared to the other two, it was like a pitiful little earthworm.
The Wasp lay weakly on the ground, its wings trembling, but it could not fly for the time being.
Its body was about three meters long, and its size could not be compared to the other creatures.
However, according to the body proportions of a bee.
Its body could grow to three meters long, which was already an extremely terrifying existence.
The only creature that died was a white rhinoceros. Its body had not fully recovered before it collapsed on the ground. Lin Dong estimated that if this white rhinoceros was still alive, it would probably be five or six meters tall at the shoulder and weigh more than an African elephant. For humans, it would be an incredible giant. Unfortunately, the ugly toad was right next to it. In comparison, if the ugly toad was willing to eat dead things, it could swallow this white rhinoceros in one gulp …
"Why did the white rhinoceros die?" Lin Dong was a little puzzled. Although time also passed in the Beast Refining Pagoda, the speed was too slow. It would probably take a year or even longer for one second to pass.
The time field here almost did not run, and time almost did not pass.
If a person lived here.
Based on the speed of time, they would stay here for a year.
The world outside the blue planet would probably have changed a long time ago.
However, unlike the world of nothingness, there was still the flow of time in the Demon Refining Pagoda. There was a time field, but the flow of time was very slow. The people who lived here, no matter how much they did or how long they lived, could not even pass a second, let alone a year …
Lin Dong examined it and found that the white rhinoceros did not die of starvation or old age, but its soul had been completely shattered by some kind of power, and it no longer existed. The remaining body was inexplicably sealed by the Beast Refining Pagoda. If it was any other way, this white rhinoceros would have died long ago, and its body was now just a piece of fresh meat! It could also be that its soul was too weak and could not withstand the seal, and was instantly annihilated by the powerful sealing power of the Beast Refining Pagoda.
It was freed from the seal.
Perhaps it was the effect of hunger, or perhaps it was gradually recovering its strength and regaining the confidence to hunt.
The Titan Python carefully flicked its forked tongue and analyzed the surrounding information. The black-headed centipede was far larger than it, and the smell of its body was extremely threatening. The Titan Python immediately threw this opponent away. This was not an enemy it could provoke. The Titan Python hurriedly swam further away from the black-headed centipede, away from the enemy's hunting range.
The smell brought it more information. In addition to a super-large black-headed centipede, there were also two dead food.
One was an even larger toad, its mouth exuding the stench of corpses.
The other was the recently dead white rhinoceros.
The Titan Python judged its body proportions and felt that it could not swallow the stinking toad, so it set its target on the recently dead white rhinoceros.
As for the flower-back spider that had curled up into a ball and the dying Wasp, the Titan Python could not be bothered with these weak opponents for the time being.
It then sensed the black-headed centipede.
The Titan Python found that this powerful enemy did not make any movements, so it cautiously swam towards the white rhinoceros with a little peace of mind. As for Lin Dong, who was standing in front of the white rhinoceros, carefully examining it, the Titan Python completely ignored him. A weak creature that could not even be considered food actually dared to block its way? The Titan Python decided to announce its presence by running over the other party.
Not counting the thickest part of its body, even its seemingly small neck was more than two meters in diameter. The Titan Python was terrifying when it swam.
When it raised its head, it was comparable to a towering tree.
"Is it trying to scare me?" Lin Dong thought that the Titan Python was hungry and wanted to raise its body to scare him away.
He did not expect that.
After the Titan Python raised its head high, it directly lowered its body. It wanted to crush Lin Dong into pieces and then open its huge mouth to swallow the white rhinoceros.
Lin Dong was speechless. Damn, he was actually looked down upon by a snake!
Yes, it was strong.
But was it really good to have such low intelligence?
You can't pretend to be dead like the ugly toad. At the very least, you should curl up into a ball like the flower-back spider to show that it was not aggressive, right? You actually wanted to crush your target to death and then devour your prey while the enemy was watching. How hungry are you? How hungry are you?
"Sword!" Lin Dong pointed his finger, and a small ice sword flew out from his back. As it flew toward the Titan Python, it rapidly grew in size, and in the end, it became a gigantic ice sword with a diameter of several meters and a length of over ten meters. It forcefully slammed into the Titan Python's mouth, penetrating its internal organs. In less than ten seconds, the entire Titan Python had turned into an ice snake. Its mouth was stretched wide by the ice pillar-like sword, and its entire body was lying stiffly on the ground, exuding a cold aura. It had originally wanted to crush Lin Dong, but now, it was as dead as a doornail.
The flower-back spider was so frightened that it squeaked, but it did not dare to escape at all. It still curled up into a ball.
But the weak wasp …
It flew up with a swoosh.
It flew crookedly in the sky, occasionally losing control and crashing into the ground. It kept pulling itself up and flying higher. It flapped its wings desperately, trying to get away from this terrifying expert, Lin Dong. As for the black-headed centipede that was still trying to show off, it also retreated in fear. It had long since retracted its jaws, deeply afraid that Lin Dong would also give it an ice sword.
Only the ugly toad that was pretending to be dead was still in its original position.
It was not known if it was very confident in its ability to pretend to be dead, or if it did not dare to "wake up" at this time …
"I'll watch it slowly when I have the time!" Lin Dong stretched his hands towards the sky and reactivated the seal. Thousands of golden lights shrouded the ugly toad, the black-headed centipede, and the flower-back spider that were pretending to be dead. Of course, the wasp that had flown far away was no exception. In less than three seconds, they had already shrunk back to the same size of light spots and floated back into the room that represented the latest seal.
On the ground, only the frozen Titan Python and the White Rhinoceros that had died before the seal was unsealed were left.
Lin Dong thought about it.
He decided not to put the Titan Python away and let it stay there.
He would definitely bring Yun You You and Cheng Mingge here in the future. Yun You You would be fine if she saw it. The bigger monsters in the underground river would not scare her, but Cheng Mingge might be a little frightened. After all, the Titan Python was too big for her. However, on the other hand, this was also a good opportunity to train her courage. Before she faced a real living monster, letting her see a dead frozen monster would help increase her psychological endurance. As for whether Cheng Mingge would have nightmares after seeing it, he could use the "Secret Dream Entry Technique" to look after her for the first few nights.
Lin Dong felt that Cheng Mingge was actually quite brave. As long as he was mentally prepared, monsters and whatnot should not be a problem.
It was just a test anyway.
If there were good results, then the purpose of training courage would be achieved!
Putting away the White Rhinoceros and leaving the corridor room, Lin Dong walked into the main hall. This hall was ten times larger than he had imagined. Lin Dong found that it was actually the entrance to another world. It looked like a hall from the outside, but it was actually another space inside.
There were no statues or anything like that in the hall.
There were eighteen towering pillars.
There were nine on each side.
They extended all the way inside.
Each giant pillar was more than 20 meters in diameter and reached the dome. On them, there were all kinds of strange patterns and inscriptions that Lin Dong could not understand. Lin Dong looked at it for a long time but could not understand what it meant. He could only guess if it was an introduction to the monsters sealed inside or something taboo.
"I don't understand!" Lin Dong shook his head and finally gave up on further research. The ancient language was not even the Golden Cauldron Script or the Oracle Bone Script. How could Lin Dong understand it?
It would be fine if it was the common language of the Cultivation World.
But it was not.
Lin Dong flew past the rows of towering pillars and flew for nearly three thousand meters before finally arriving in front of a giant door that seemed to be the entrance to the first floor. The giant door was seventy to eighty meters tall. It was also not made of gold, iron, wood, or stone, but it was different from the materials outside. It was a special material that was even better than the Diamond Dwelling Jade. Lin Dong sighed inwardly. Tycoon! For a tycoon like this who built the Yao-Refining Pagoda with only a bit of divine sense and then casually placed the treasure in the abyss, you couldn't help but give him thirty-two likes!
It was different from the entrance to the Yao-Refining Pagoda.
Here, there were eighteen statues of golden bull heads, guarding the two sides of the door.
At the top of the entrance, there was also a huge golden bull head embedded in it. The two bull eyes emitted a cold red light, making people feel inferior and ashamed of their inferiority.
"Do I have to pass another test to enter?" Lin Dong looked at the bull head statues on both sides. There were a total of eighteen, and the two on the left and right were the tallest, more than thirty meters tall. Then there were statues about twenty meters tall, three on the left and three on the right. As for the remaining ten, they were all about fifteen meters tall. What made Lin Dong feel a little strange was that the weapons these bull head statues held were all metal rods that looked like golden cudgels, instead of the tauren's special weapon, the axes. Where were the tauren's blood flower axes?
The western tauren and the eastern guardian spirits' bull heads were actually two different things.
It was normal for the weapons to be different.
Besides, if the rod was heavy, it would be even more powerful when it hit people. Didn't you see how painful it was when the monkey's golden cudgel hit people?
"How do I trigger it? Should I reach out and touch it, or should I activate some mechanism?" Lin Dong approached the bull head statues cautiously. It would be terrible if they hit him with a rod. Although these rods were not the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle, they were definitely not much lighter!
