Although the sudden appearance of the giant ball was expected by Ringu, Ringu's heart still regarded it as an omen before the battle.

Therefore, at the first moment, Ringu tightly grasped the steel sword obtained from the stone giant before, gathered the demonic source power of his body, and prepared to deal with the battle that came at any time.

However, this giant ball did not incarnate into any battle target, nor did it release any demonic power, but in front of Lin Gu and Yan Sheng, it made a childish voice.

"It's still our territory. But this time if you want to go out, it's also very easy, see the old city pass in the distance in front of you, as long as you get there, and go directly to the secluded capital from there, you will naturally know the way to get out. I will always be there for you, and if you want to give up, tell me that I have the power to take you out. ”

"What price did you pay for taking us out?" asked Lin Gu with a wry smile.

"Just half of your souls. Hand over this half of your soul, and your other half of your soul and body will go out together. Isn't that a good deal?" said the giant ball, but Ringu could feel the sinister nature of his words.

"What happens if you lose half of your soul?" Before Lin Gu could ask, Yan Sheng beside him hurriedly asked.

"There's a lot of time to lose sobriety, and there's a lot of sanity. The giant ball replied.

And Lin Gu, who was listening on the side, was full of disdain at this time, and when he saw Yan Sheng's expression that was still in doubt, Lin Gu finally said impatiently: "That is to say, you will become a fool like some people who are lucky to come out." ”

"That's right, that's right. Juqiu replied excitedly. But this excitement sounded to Ringu as a kind of irony, and it was also a sense of getting carried away.

The giant ball knew that in this double illusion, there were countless people who passed through his hands and went out, and there were also those who persevered to the end, but they all turned into a pile of white bones in the illusion.

"So, are you going out?" asked Juju then.

"Isn't it the Old City Pass, let's go!" said Lin Gu as he walked straight forward without looking back.

And Yan Sheng behind him also followed Lin Gu closely at this time, not daring to leave the slightest. He knew that instead of believing in the giant orb full of danger in the illusion in front of him, he should believe in Lingu, who had already protected him several times.

At this time, the northern realm in the double illusion has always been a real place where Ringu has been to several times, hot and very dry. Unlike the perennially humid city of Tanihama, the northern border of the empire is long, but walking along the Great Wall, without exception, is a dry and hot place. Perhaps, only nomadic tribes outside the north can adapt.

Lin Gu and Yan Sheng didn't care about the giant ball behind them, and at the fastest speed they walked, they advanced towards the old city pass.

Along the way, there was yellow sand and the next door, and these yellow sands had to fly up and down from time to time, hitting Lin Gu's face. The stones next door absorb the sun's rays and emit heat.

Soon, this heat was emitted from the sky into the surrounding environment, and the surrounding environment radiated this heat to the bodies of Lingu and Yansheng. Gradually, their bodies no longer felt slightly cold before, nor the slight warmth they felt when they first entered here, but became extremely hot and dry like the huge sun and the intense heat of the sand and stones around them.

However, Lin Gu and Yan Sheng could clearly see that the old city pass was still far away, and it seemed to be close at hand.

"It's so hot, Lingu, do you have water?" asked Yan Sheng a little breathlessly. Although he hadn't been walking for long, Yan Sheng could feel that in addition to his own consumption, everything around him seemed to be eroding the water in his body.

"We didn't bring water with us when we came in, how could there be? But you know, it's all illusions, your thirst and your heat, it's all illusions. What we have to do now is to overcome this illusion so that we can have a chance to get out. Lin Gu said firmly and unquestionably, and then, taking Yan Sheng's hand, walked forward with him.

However, the giant ball behind him, as if he saw an opportunity, suddenly appeared behind Yan Sheng, laughed strangely, and then asked, "How is it? Instead of enduring the heat and cold, why don't you give me half of your soul, and I will take you out of here."

Hearing this, Yan Sheng couldn't help but look back. However, in the next second, Lin Gu forcibly pulled Yan Sheng and walked forward again.

At the same time, he didn't forget to turn around and said viciously to the giant ball: "Get out!"

This one word is enough to express his determination and emotion, and it is also clean and neat, cutting off all the thoughts between him and Yan Sheng.

"Hmph, if you don't make this deal, you'll regret it. Remember, if you don't go out now, when you can't hold on anymore, then it's not half a soul, and then I will want all your souls. Remember, I am the only one here who can take you away. The giant ball responded with the same viciousness, and his voice changed from an immature child to a gloomy voice.

However, Yan Sheng and Lin Gu were not affected by it in the slightest, and they still kept moving forward.

Although it is in a fantasy world, this heat and thirst are real. I don't know how long I've been walking, but Lin Gu himself can feel it, and his sweat seems to be uncontrollable, and it can't stop flowing downward. At this time, his shirt, along with his gloves, was also soaked with sweat.

In desperation, Ringu had no choice but to take off his coat and gloves, leaving the white shirt inside.

Although the rulers of the empire are required to wear imperial uniforms at all times, they can freely choose the parts that are close to their bodies. This may have something to do with the imperial tradition: under the rules, partial freedom was allowed.

Like Ringu, Yan Sheng also took off his robe, leaving behind long sleeves with blue lines.

In this way, I don't know how long I walked, and I don't know how many distances I walked. Lin Gu and Yan Sheng felt that the old city pass, which seemed to be in front of them, was like a mirage at this time, and it was impossible to reach.

How far is it to go, and how long will it take?

Lin Gu, who was very confident just now, gradually lost his confidence in his heart at this time. Until the strength of his whole body has reached the verge of exhaustion.

"Whew...... Huh, Lingu, have you noticed that the scenery around us is not a repetition of one ring after another. If we are like this, we can't get to the old city at all. Yan Sheng asked with a pant.

This question also suddenly made Lin Gu's head sober up, he looked around again, and sure enough, it was as Yansheng said. The dead tree from before, which was on their right, seemed to have appeared five times at this time, and those very beautiful river beach boulders also flashed three times in front of their eyes at this time.

Sure enough, is it a fantasy or a giant ball playing tricks?
