Chapter Fifty-Six: The Phantom of the Remnant

Not good!

Jiang Yao and Mu Jianyun glanced at each other, then turned around and ran, and at this time, the two of them had already realized what was chasing after them.

"It's the monster in the tomb before!It's still around here!" Jiang Yao said, looking back at the dark behind him, although he couldn't really see it, he clearly felt that something was chasing the two closer and closer.

"Oops, there's no road ahead!" Mu Jianyun looked at the stone wall that appeared at the end of the front and stopped suddenly. "There's no way, I can only fight!"

After saying that, Mu Jianyun turned to face the dark rear, pulled out the blue long sword behind his back, wiped his fingers over the sword body, and said something in his mouth. Soon, the light of the blue long sword began to skyrocket, and bursts of energy fluctuations began to linger around the sword body, Mu Jianyun immediately let go of the hilt, and the blue long sword was suspended in the air under the fluctuating energy, surrounding Mu Jianyun and waiting for him, but as the spell was cast, Mu Jianyun's own face became more and more pale, and the slightest black qi spread to his pale gray pupils again, obviously the influence of the miasma was not completely removed from him.

"Bang!"

The violent vibration once again spread along the ground to the soles of the feet of the two people, Mu Jianyun's figure suddenly stumbled for a moment, and the spell casting was interrupted, Jiang Yao looked at Mu Jianyun's white and blue face, and secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward to prevent the other party from casting the spell again.

"Miasma has been invaded in your body, and if you abuse your mana again, your life will be gone!" Jiang Yao said. "Since there are murals here, it means that there is a civilization active here, let's look for it, there must be other ways out!"

"It's all like this, how can I have time to find ......"

"Whoa——!!

The piercing roar was close at hand, and in the darkness ahead, a huge shadow was becoming clearer and clearer, Jiang Yao was startled, and hurriedly pulled Mu Jianyun to retreat, but unexpectedly, he didn't take a few steps back, and his feet suddenly sank, and when he looked down, he suddenly found that a rock under his feet actually sank automatically under the trigger, and at the same time, the originally closed stone wall behind the two suddenly shook, and then, a one-person-high dark door appeared in the corner of the stone wall.

"Let's go!"

As soon as the two saw that there was an exit, they didn't care so much, and hurriedly supported each other in the violent ground tremor and rushed to the secret door of the black hole, but at this moment, a strong wind accompanied by the howl of the breaking wind slammed into the backs of the two, and the two stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and at the same time, the black gas had spread with the shadow of the chasing.

"Ahem, ahem...... Let's go!Don't stop!!" Jiang Yao dragged Mu Jianyun, who was pale-faced, and rushed towards the stone gate desperately, but at this time, the giant monster behind was strangely quiet, Jiang Yao glanced back unintentionally, and saw that a dazzling orange-red light seemed to flash in the thick black air, hitting the huge shadow hard.

This...... This is!?

Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, but before he could see the situation in the black gas, another gust of wind hit again, pushing Jiang Yao and the two straight into the stone gate, and the two people who fell into the door suddenly felt that their feet were empty, and then they realized that something was wrong, but at this time it was too late.

"Whoa...... la-la-la-

Accompanied by the falling rubble, the figures of Jiang Yao and Mu Jianyun instantly slipped into the dark passage in the door and fell into the boundless darkness.

--------------------------------------

"Huh......?"

Qing Yu paused, turned his head, and looked at the dark corridor behind him with some hesitation. In the blue light emitted by Shikigami "Flowing Fireflies", I saw this quaint and dilapidated stone corridor silently extending forward into the darkness, and the roar that seemed to be absent before was now disappearing into the boundless darkness.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Wentao, who was walking in front of Qing Yu, also stopped, and looked behind him suspiciously following Qing Yu's line of sight.

“…… Nothing, maybe it's my delusion. ”

Qing Yu shook his head, then moved his gaze to Zhou Wentao in front of him, and said a little angrily: "Anyway...... Why are you running in front alone? It's all miasma, and my Firefly can temporarily dispel some of it in a small area, but if you get too far away, it won't be able to keep you. ”

"That...... Actually, I, I just want to help you explore the way......" Facing Qing Yu's reproach, Zhou Wentao was a little overwhelmed, he blushed and scratched his hair, and seemed a little cramped. "It's so dark ahead, I don't know what danger lurks, maybe there's a mechanism...... As a man, I have to protect you. ”

"Hehe, it's good to protect yourself, I don't need your protection. Qing Yu glanced at Zhou Wentao's stupid appearance, so angry and funny, he couldn't get angry if he wanted to. "I started cultivating at the age of eight, and at the age of thirteen, I entered the Spirit Imperial Platform to become the Spirit Imperial Divine Envoy, and there are many demons and monsters that have fought over the years, don't measure me by the standards of ordinary girls, okay?"

"Yes, I'm sorry...... That was not what I meant...... I, I mean ......" Zhou Wentao hurriedly waved his hand, as if he wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but he couldn't hold back half a sentence for a long time.

"Okay, okay, now the top priority is to get out as soon as possible and find support to rescue Brother Jian Yun and them......" Qing Yu shook his head, and there seemed to be worry in his eyebrows. "With Brother Jianyun's skills, I don't believe he will lose to that monster, but the environment here is so sinister, no one can say for ......sure after a long time."

"Will he be okay with Xiaoyao, I'm so worried about his ......" Thinking of Jiang Yao, who was still unknown in his life and death, Zhou Wentao's face suddenly shrouded in a layer of haze.

His words...... It shouldn't be so easy to die, and Brother Jian Yun is also by his side. Qing Yu said. "Brother Jianyun's cultivation is quite high, and he enjoys the reputation of 'genius' in our Spirit Imperial Platform, and he became a Spirit Imperial Divine Envoy at the age of nine, and he is also the youngest person ever to pass the Spirit Imperial Divine Envoy assessment. Due to the extreme consumption of mental power in manipulating the gods, the ability of ordinary spirit gods to flexibly manipulate one god at a time is the limit, but he is young but can manipulate two gods at the same time to fight, compared to me, his strength is much stronger...... If Jiang Yao is by his side, it should be fine. ”

"'Spirit Guardian'...... 'Spirit Divine Envoy'...... To be honest, I haven't been able to fully digest the things you told me earlier about the human world and the demon world, the Spirit Imperial Platform and the Demon God Mansion...... I always thought that those demons and monsters were just myths and legends, but I didn't expect that they were always around us, and there were even people like you......"

Zhou Wentao lowered his head and muttered softly, his expression a little tangled. "That little one...... Did you already know that?"

"Yes...... Not long before you, though. Qing Yu looked at Zhou Wentao's complicated expression and sighed secretly in his heart. may have experienced the baptism of a series of strange events, at this time, Zhou Wentao did not show too much surprise at the "other world" introduced by Qing Yu, but he still couldn't accept the concealment of his friend Jiang Yao, who grew up together.

"Don't think about it so much, he was also given a gag order by us not to tell you this, these secrets of the dark world cannot be revealed to the public, this is the rule of the Spirit Palace. Qing Yu didn't seem to have the intention of saying anything more, and took another step.

"That'...... You've told me this now, is it considered a break in the rules?" Zhou Wentao thought of something and looked up at Qing Yu. "I—I can assure you that I will never reveal half a word to the public, and I don't want you to be punished by the Spirit Emperor for telling me this......"

"......" Qing Yu's footsteps paused, she glanced at Zhou Wentao in surprise, but found that at this time, the other party's face no longer had that honest stupidity, replaced by a seriousness and concentration that she had never seen before.

"Fool's ......"

Qing Yu turned her head and muttered softly, she felt a strange feeling in her chest, like tangled, or unbearable.

"Everything here anyway...... You'll soon forget all about it......"

"Whoa——!!

The sudden roar was accompanied by a slight vibration of the ground, and it was transmitted from a distance along the long road, Qing Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized the danger, and quickly turned around and wanted to pull Zhou Wentao to run together, but found that Zhou Wentao suddenly held his head with a pale face and knelt on the ground in pain.

"What's wrong with you!?" Qing Yu was shocked when he saw this, and at this time, the surrounding tremors still did not subside.

"My head...... My head hurts so much!" Zhou Wentao was covered with cold sweat, at this time, his ears seemed to be flooded with thousands of troops, and the ghost crying and whistling accompanied by a headache that was about to explode stirred in his brain, and in this chaotic whistling, he seemed to sense a faint call, as if a familiar voice penetrated time and space, and was connected with his soul.

"Wen Tao ......"

"Brother...... It's my brother! His soul is nearby!" Zhou Wentao suddenly raised his head suddenly, his eyes pointed directly to the depths of the corridor, he struggled to get up, stumbled forward to the corridor, but after a few steps and stumbled to the ground, in the thick black fog, he felt his chest feel a burst of stuffiness, and every time he took a breath, there was a burning stinging pain in his lungs, which made his consciousness also appear a little trance.

"It's not good, you've inhaled the miasma!" Qing Yu rushed forward and commanded the "Liuhua" to fly beside Zhou Wentao, in the light blue light, she found that Zhou Wentao's eyes were faintly blue, which was a sign of the miasma eroding his body.

"I ...... My brother ......" Zhou Wentao struggled to stand up, looked up at the front of the darkness, in his blurred vision, he seemed to vaguely see a small point of light, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, but he couldn't catch anything, he could only watch the point of light disappear into the darkness in a flash.

"Boom!!"

The vibration in the corridor became more and more obvious, and the crisis seemed to be getting closer and closer, Qing Yu felt bad, and then dragged Zhou Wentao, who was pale, and tried to stay away from the direction from which the vibration came under the cover of "Liuying", but she soon found that the source of the vibration was not from the rear, but the stone wall of the corridor next to the two of them.

"Bang...... Bang!'

The sudden impact sound sounded violently from the two of them, Qing Yu's expression was awe-inspiring, and he immediately helped Zhou Wentao to retreat a few steps, and the gravel on the top of the road fell with the impact, and in Qing Yu's frightened sight, he saw that the cracks in the road were spreading on the stone wall of the road at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Pounds!"

With the splashing of rubble and the black gas gushing out, a pitch-black four-fingered giant palm slammed through the stone wall, and in Qing Yu's stunned eyes, she saw a hideous strange face, slowly emerging from behind the hole.
