Chapter 554: Trapped in Illusion
After learning that Zhang Liying was fine, the man breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he regards Zhang Liying's safety as more important than his own life.
Although Zhou Xun doesn't know who he is from Zhang Liying, he can at least be sure that he cares about Zhang Liying so much, he should not be an enemy. And his mana is obviously much higher than his own, and in this strange place, it is always helpful for her.
Zhou Xun didn't know when and how she was tricked, but Zhang Liying didn't appear here, did it show that she was still safe, or did she encounter something more dangerous than herself?
It was she who pulled Zhang Liying here, she originally thought that the situation here was much more dangerous than the last time she faced the evil ghost, and she should be able to force Zhang Liying to show her true skills, but what she never expected was that Zhang Liying was really the same as she was on the outside, so wouldn't she hurt her.
This man obviously cares about Zhang Liying, is he here because of her? Could it be that Zhang Liying told him about it, so he followed them here? If he is Zhang Liying's protector......
No, the blue ball of light he used was too similar to the light in the cave, as if it was from the same kind of mana, could it be that all this in front of him was a ghost?
Zhou Xun had been closely watching the man's every move, because she knew that those sinister and treacherous ghosts could appear in any form.
"What the hell is this place, and how did we get here?" the man asked, touching his forehead, "It seems...... This is not the real world...... So how did this come about...... Is it the soul or ......the consciousness that stays here?"
"What are you talking about?" Although Zhou Xun is the best of the younger generation, her experience is still a certain distance from that of a real master.
When she suddenly came to this strange place, she also wanted to know what was going on. It seems that the man seems to know something.
"Look at it again, maybe ......" The man thought for a moment, but only said a word, and there was no more. Zhou Xun saw that he began to walk along the crooked path, so he followed as well.
The place where they are located resembles a huge underground stalactite cave, with stalactite columns erected or hanging in strange shapes.
Illuminated by the blue light, the cave seemed to be filled with countless monsters and demons, and their shadows were scattered on both sides of the aisle, as if they were ready to pounce on those who passed by.
Zhou Xun suddenly thought of this: before coming here, she had done a lot of research and collected a lot of information, including the environment around the abandoned mountain village.
She remembers that there was an underground stalactite cave on the hill near the village, and because the cave was so big, the local government planned to develop it into a scenic area.
However, because the cave is located in the deep mountains, the transportation is not convenient, and the terrain in the cave is very complicated, the funds required for development are simply astronomical, so they can only give up.
Well, it's very likely that you're in that cave, and although it's not a mysterious place, it's definitely not common.
Why did this man say that this was not the real world, but the soul or consciousness or something like that? Why did he judge it this way? Zhou Xun's heart was full of all kinds of questions, but he followed the man closely without hesitation.
After the two of them walked for a while, the surroundings became darker, and the blue light seemed to separate from the darkness, and the blue light flickered more strangely around them.
Strange sounds came from all directions, mixed with moans and wails, giving the illusion of going to hell.
Zhou Xun is also a person who has seen countless big scenes, of course this kind of environment and sound can't affect her, and the man is even more calm, as if he is walking on Yangguan Avenue.
Zhou Xun noticed that the blue ball of light he controlled had been quietly changing its brightness, and the ball of light had increased in brightness with the surrounding darkness, keeping the surrounding visibility at a certain level.
Such small changes require more subtle control than the sudden appearance of light, but the man does it so naturally and casually that he seems to have unconsciously made a freewheeling change.
If he was an enemy, it must be a very terrible enemy, Zhou Xun looked at the man's back and secretly took a few deep breaths.
As soon as he walked not far away, the man suddenly stopped, and whispered to Zhou Xun without looking back, "Something is coming." ”
Zhou Xun also felt this way, and when the man spoke, she had already drawn a sword in her right hand and a few charms in her left hand, ready to fight.
The man nodded, pleased with the girl's reaction.
Suddenly, many "things" rushed out of the darkness around them and rushed towards them, including strange-looking monsters, terrifying-looking ghosts, and even bloody, mutilated generals and soldiers in ancient costumes......
They rushed towards the two of them, and their mouths emitted a sound between moaning and anger, and so many demons and monsters suddenly appeared, making Zhou Xun feel caught off guard.
Zhou Xun recognized some of them as famous demon beasts, she had seen records in ancient books before, and knew that they were powerful, but it was rare to see them in the world, and what she didn't expect was that there were so many here.
Zhou Xun knew that he couldn't deal with such an opponent, but in danger, he had no choice but to be calm and ready to fight.
"This is ......" When those monsters approached, Zhou Xun suddenly saw a familiar figure among these demons and monsters.
There was more than one, and Zhou Xun saw a few figures that she would never forget, they were the ghosts she had destroyed before, and they were all opponents who had fought with her to the death.
Why are they here? The female ghost who kills couples on campus, the rat demon who eats human hearts, the ...... Aren't they all dead? It is impossible for Zhou Xun to forget the opponent he killed with his own hands.
The man glanced back at her, as if sensing her surprise and surprise, so he said to her: "Don't be afraid, they are all the enemies we care about the most, and what appears now is only a phantom produced in this place, but there are more of them, and they do not have the combat power of the body." ”
"What? Phantoms? you mean...... We've fallen for illusion?"
"I'm not sure, maybe...... It's not that simple...... "The man was still vague on key issues, which made Zhou Xun a little dissatisfied with him, and the defensive heart that had already dissipated part of him was raised again.
Zhou Xun stared at those "enemies" vigilantly, but when she took a closer look, she found that the ghosts she had dealt with only accounted for a small part of them, and most of the others were hideous, fierce, and very powerful monsters......
"There are also your enemies in these......" Zhou Xun couldn't help but scream when he saw the monster slowly crawling out of the road.
The man looked up at the monster, paused, and said, "Is it it...... And so it is...... I was just wondering why it didn't show up......"
She watched the monster approach step by step, couldn't help but take a few steps back, and asked in a trembling voice, "You, how can you have such an enemy!"
The man seemed to be thinking about something, with a dazed and emotional expression, and after a while, until the monster was only a few steps away from him, he sighed, picked up his head and looked at the monster and said:
"It's all gone...... It's over...... Old adversary, seeing you appear like this, I am the first to refuse. Whatever 'thing' is at work to make you suffer this shameful revenge, I will avenge you!"
It was a dragon-headed human body, a monster covered with purple scales, a pair of golden eyes shining with fierce light, and the fingers and claws of the two hands were like small daggers, extremely sharp, and constantly opening and closing, revealing a kind of murderous intent.
But its body was covered with several scars that reached deep into the bones, especially in the right chest, there was a bloody hole the size of a bowl, and the white ribs were turned out, and the bone marrow protruded from the bones, and its heart hung outside the wound, pulsating slightly......
Its gaze met the man, and it let out a roar of rage.
Zhou Xun had seen this kind of monster in the records of his ancestors, but he never thought that one day he would actually see it, it should be a monster born from a cross between a dragon and other creatures.
This monster is said to have dragon blood, but it likes to kill and fight, so it is generally imprisoned in the sea by dragons so that they don't kill too much when they come ashore.
When the monster approached, the other demons and goblins that had already gathered around began to wince, and the monster was not polite, casually smashing or knocking the goblins that stood in front of it into the air, and roared all the way to the man.
If this monster is really his enemy, then the surviving party should not be this man!
At this time, the man was already standing face to face with the dragon head monster, with a sad look on his face, especially when the dragon head monster roared and rushed up, the man shook his head again and again, and took half a step back, as if this one was going to attack him, not his enemy, but his relatives and friends.
Zhou Xun couldn't pay attention to him anymore, because the other monsters didn't dare to approach the dragon head monster, so they focused all on her.
Zhou Xun raised his sword and stabbed at the monster that pounced first, although it was not as powerful as the dragon head monster, it was also a demon beast with an extremely terrifying appearance.
After Zhou Xun fought with it for a few moves, he felt that what the man said might be true, these demons and monsters were not as powerful as the entity, if this demon beast really appeared in front of Zhou Xun, Zhou Xun might not be able to support a few rounds, but now, she could tie with the other party.
It's a pity that in the current situation, a tie with such a monster can't bring her situation better, and I don't know how many monsters are approaching her.
Zhou Xun didn't know why the man had so many enemies, but she knew that her current situation was simply terrible, because the man's enemy phantoms had all found her.
The man was confronting the dragon head monster, which was obviously much more rational than the other demons, and instead of immediately pounced, it roared around the man.
Zhou Xun didn't expect the man to come back to help him, he just hoped that the dragon head monster would attack the man quickly, if she guessed correctly, as long as there was no threat from the dragon head monster, those monsters would definitely attack that man first, because he was their enemy.
But just when Zhou Xun was completely surrounded, the man suddenly took the initiative to attack, but not to deal with the dragon head monster, but to deal with those demons and monsters who surrounded Zhou Xun.
I saw that he attacked continuously with a speed that was so fast that even Zhou Xun couldn't see clearly, and the monsters surrounding Zhou Xun were shot away by him one after another, and most of them flew out in a fragmented manner.
Zhou Xun's eyes widened in horror, she had fought with these monsters just now, and she clearly knew how powerful these monsters were, could it be that this man was even more terrifying than these demons and monsters?
