Chapter 440: Shadowless Chasing Light
The construction of the dungeon did not happen overnight, but the excavation of the foundation did not actually take much manpower.
There are already countless large and small natural caves on the original site that can be inhabited.
As the number of stranded people increased, in order to live and work in peace and contentment for a while, they built a city on these caves.
The city is getting bigger and bigger, but there are still a lot of virgin/female land that has not been developed.
Among them, there are many dangerous places that are uninhabitable, but have considerable volume.
Since there is no trace of the city and the large size of the shuttle is deduced from the discovery of falling dust, it is likely that these places are the best places to hide.
Luochen and his party, under the leadership of Mu Huali at this moment, are preparing to go to these places to find out.
Referring to the location of the casting department, everyone first chose the southwest direction to move forward.
As I walked through the city, I passed by the gladiatorial arena, but I saw people hanging on the outer wall like spiders.
Seeing this spectacle, Hongni was puzzled, and asked Zhaiwu, who was walking beside him, "What kind of magic skills are they practicing here?"
The house was close to Zhu Zhechi, and he rolled his eyes. Then he patiently explained: "The gladiatorial arena is used frequently, and there are often defects caused by fights inside and out. It's not easy to build such a big place, so if it collapses, won't it be troublesome?"
Hongni heard this: "Oh, it turned out that he was repairing the house!"
Then he turned to Luochen and said with a smile, "The general stay is accommodating, or it is better to kill them, and there is no need to go to Chicheng to bother like this." The errand of cultivating immortals to a part-time mason is also hard enough. ”
Luochen pointed to the top of his head and reminded, "Real people, they are also doing mason's work now. ”
"An inn the size of a palm, compared to this gladiatorial arena or even the entire city, that's where it goes!" said Red Clay disapplausively, even a little gloating, "Besides, who made them mess with people, oh?" he said, slapping his shoulder against the mansion.
Zhai Wu glanced at him, did not accept this useless favor, and said: "It's almost dawn, do you want to go back and work with them? ”
"Eh, how do you talk about this?" Hongni knew that he was just teasing without malice, so he also pretended to look upside down and said, "After two nights of fighting, I got acquainted with this great immortal, and I started to be poor, didn't I? ”
Listening to the two of them arguing, this crossed the boundary of the gladiatorial arena.
Luochen suddenly felt something pass by in his mind, and glanced back. However, he didn't grasp the essence of the flash, and after a trance, he continued to move forward with the team.
Before long, it gradually came out of the population and walked into the barren land.
After walking through the sparse weeds for a while, the red mud gradually slowed down, and when it fell to the end of the line, it simply stopped and stopped.
Luochen noticed it, turned his head to look back, but saw that the other party made a silent gesture, and beckoned him to go quietly.
Luochen thought that he had encountered some inconvenient danger, and immediately turned back quietly and quickly.
When he came to the front, he saw that Hongni was not attacked, but asked him with a strange face: "Luochen, you say, did we strayed into the illusion realm, or crashed into the ghost realm?"
Luo Chen was puzzled: "Good and dignified, why do you say this?"
Seeing that he was quite loud, Hongni let out a "shhhhhhhh ”
Luochen looked down and saw that he didn't see anything terrifying, and became more and more puzzled: "What are you going to say?"
"Shadow!" Red Clay covered his forehead when he saw that he was not enlightened.
Dusty lowered his head again, and his heart was shocked.
Sure enough, there was no sign of each other on the ground.
It wasn't brighter than the rest of the city, but it was only a little dim, not yet pitch black.
When there is still light, can Ann not see the shadow of things?!
It's really weird.
But he heard the red mud and said: "Ben Daxian only remembered at this time, what kind of dungeon is very wrong. Such a large area was built on the ground cavern, why is it that the light is like day all the way?"
"Are all those heavenly treasures picked up for nothing?!"
A word was inserted, but it was Zhaiwu who ran back.
The dust and red mud looked in the direction, and the rest had stopped in place.
As the house approached, he said to Luochen, "Ann replied, this place is weird, let's-" turned to the red mud, "Be careful not to get separated!"
Seeing that his tone was not good, Hongni smiled and said: "This great immortal only said that the place was wrong, and he never said people. Then he asked, "Did Ann Answer say, 'Where does the weirdness come from?'
Zhai Wuyan squinted, turned around immediately, and led the two to continue on the road.
As he walked, he deliberately only spoke to Luochen: "The spell is disabled, and the light in the city is partly obtained by borrowing the fluorescence of the spars on the rock wall, and the other part is made up of various heavenly treasures and lamps and candles.
At first, we didn't care, thinking that although it became darker and darker, it was never pitch black, and it was also due to the light of the rock wall. Until he found that there was no shadow under him, he felt that the light was wrong. ”
In other words, not only a few people who fell into the dust, but also those "dungeon locals", did not know where the strangeness came from.
As they talked, they soon reunited, and everyone continued on their way.
Because he noticed the strangeness, he was inevitably more cautious than before when he walked. Everyone takes care of each other, and it is not often time to look forward and backward, and when you walk a few steps, you must pay attention to your surroundings and take a look.
This attention was followed by the discovery of the odd.
The lighting is not without change.
As you walk farther and farther away, the darkness around you gradually intensifies, until it sinks like falling into the night.
But except for the circle under everyone's feet and nearby, there is still a silver glow, like moonlight. Even, because of the contrast with the surrounding light and dark, it seems a little brighter than before. As for the shadow, it is never seen.
It's like something, it's always following overhead.
But the breath is not smelled, and it is unpredictable.
The red mud couldn't bear it in the end, walked for a while, and suddenly showed the peach blossom dagger in a hurry, and shouted in the darkness towards the periphery: "Is it a person or a ghost?
As soon as he roared, he heard a fluttering movement around him, like a bird flapping its wings.
Everyone stopped together with the red mud.
They gathered in a circle back to back, facing outwards to fight against each other, but no attack came.
After waiting for a while, Mu Huali patted his side and motioned for everyone to put away their weapons: "No matter what it is, it looks like there is no malice, let's go with ours." ”
So he packed up and went on the road again.
Luochen looked at his body and moved with him, and he didn't doubt it in his heart: "An answer is sure that the other party has no malicious intentions?"
Mu Huali thought he had found something, turned his head and asked, "But what's wrong?"
Luochen looked up at him and said, "It's hard to distinguish the surroundings, we just care about moving forward." But is it this unknown light that moves with our footsteps, or is it because it is so dark that we are already subconsciously guided by this light?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
