Chapter 394: Devil's City
A group of men dressed in the services of the Hellish Sect came to a halt in front of a wasteland littered with the bones of wild beasts.
I saw the first two people, a man and a woman.
The man has thick eyebrows and a nose, and a short black face.
The woman wore a pure white mask, leaking only two eyes, but her figure was graceful, and although she was wrapped in a wide snow-white robe, she still couldn't hide her slender and graceful appearance.
These two people are the two protectors of the Earth Demon Sect, the fierce god Midnight and the killing god Thousand Illusions.
Midnight looked back at the exhausted disciples of the Earth Demon Sect, turned to face Qianhuan, and asked, "Qianhuan, seeing that there is not much to go from, why do you want to fall down and walk on foot instead of flying over directly?"
Without answering, Qian Huan tilted his head slightly and asked rhetorically, "Where are the other teams that entered the Great Wilderness now?"
Midnight pondered for a moment, and said truthfully: "Most of them are within three hundred miles of their destination, but the forces of all parties seem to have a tacit understanding and deliberately keep a certain distance from each other. ”
"That's it. Qianhuan's voice was low, and he said: "Now all parties have not figured out what the strange treasure that was born this time is, so before that, everyone is unwilling to have friction, so as not to let someone take advantage of the fisherman." ”
Midnight didn't seem to understand, and couldn't help but ask again: "Then what does this have to do with us walking on foot? There are two hundred miles left, and it will fly over quickly, but if we walk step by step, ...... it?"
"What's the hurry?" Qian Xuan interrupted Midnight's words and said, "Midnight, aren't you usually quite calm! What's wrong today?"
"I'm ......" Midnight was stunned.
Hearing Qianhuan say this, he realized that he had indeed lost his composure and calmness in the past, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he was dumb.
Qianhuan's eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while, Fang Cai Zhengse said: "The closer you get to the center of the target, the more you can't act rashly." Not to mention whether the Heavenly Demon Sect, which is walking in front of all of us, will be ambushed somewhere, let's just say that none of the righteous sects that are walking with us may give us a painful blow at any time. If the enemy is a small sect, it's fine, in case it's the Heavenly Demon Sect or the Golden Light Temple, or if the two major factions come together, I'm afraid the price will be incalculable. ”
Hearing this, Midnight was shocked, and nodded heavily: "You're right, I'm anxious." ”
Qian Huan was noncommittal, and said lightly: "The weather is hot and stuffy, I guess you are also tired, or let's rest here!"
"No need. Midnight waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "I'm not tired at all." ”
"Alas!"
Qian Huan shook his head and sighed, and said angrily: "You are strong, maybe you are not tired, but people are tired!"
As soon as these words came out, Midnight was stunned and stared at Qianhuan with wide eyes.
He knew that his ears were absolutely fine, so he was present just now, and if there was no third person to speak, then the one who said the word "people" must be a thousand illusions.
The expression on Midnight's face was as if he had seen a ghost during the day, with both indescribable shock and ignorant bewilderment.
After all, this was the first time in decades that he had heard Qian Xuan speak in such a young daughter's voice.
For a while, Midnight suddenly had an impulse in his heart, he wanted to take down the mask on Qianhuan's face to see if there was a different person inside.
But after thinking about it, Midnight immediately dispelled this ridiculous thought in his heart. Just because if he really did that, Thousand Illusions would probably kill someone.
In addition, even if he can see the face under the mask clearly, there is no way to screen it, because to this day, he has not seen the true face of a thousand illusions!
Seeing Midnight's expression in his eyes, Qianhuan's eyes exposed outside the mask suddenly condensed, and he said coldly: "Have you seen enough?"
Midnight didn't hear it, still staring straight at Qianhuan.
At this time, the already solemn air around him seemed to freeze in an instant, and he only heard the cold voice of Qianhuan, almost word by word: "If you don't want to die, turn your head for me." ”
As soon as the words fell, the disciples of the Earth Demon Sect were all shocked, and they suddenly woke up in the middle of the night.
However, how could he react so quickly in the middle of the night when he had just returned to his senses? So he saw Qianhuan Huo Ran raise his right hand and slap it on Midnight's head with a palm.
The corners of Midnight's eyes twitched, his face lost blood, he knew that this was not a joke, if he didn't dodge, he might really be slapped on the head by the woman in front of him.
said that it was too late, and then it was fast, and the midnight body moved, and he hurriedly retreated.
Qianhuan's palm fell short, and he didn't pursue, he only snorted coldly and said, "Let the disciples all stop and rest in place." ”
When he heard the words in the middle of the night, how dare he disobey, and immediately ordered all the disciples of the Earth Demon Sect to stop and rest in place.
And at this moment, a cyan light suddenly flew in the sky in the direction where everyone from the Earth Demon Sect was.
Midnight and Thousand Illusions looked up at the same time, the expression under the mask of Thousand Illusions was unknown, but Midnight's face couldn't help but show a trace of solemnity.
Soon, the cyan light fell in front of everyone in the Earth Demon Sect, and when the light faded, a young man with a white face and a scholarly appearance appeared.
Of course, the white-faced scholar is not a general's order, but Luo Ming, one of the three masters of the Xuanming Palace.
In the face of Luo Ming's sudden arrival, the disciples of the Earth Demon Sect were obviously surprised, and many people had already begun to talk about Luo Ming's intentions.
Seeing that Luo Ming was coming alone, his face gradually eased a lot, and he took the initiative to take a few steps forward to greet him, and said, "Brother Luo, why did you come alone?"
Luo Ming smiled all over his face and replied, "Xiaosheng is alone, doesn't he seem more sincere!"
Midnight smiled, his expression intriguing, but he didn't rush to speak, but looked back at Qianfan.
Luo Ming's words were temporarily stopped, and following the eyes of midnight, he also looked at Qianhuan, who was standing in place without saying a word and motionless, and was involuntarily stunned.
Midnight only glanced at it, immediately withdrew his gaze, and then squeezed his eyes at Luo Ming, which was meaningful.
Luo Ming was a person, he almost saw the problem at a glance, and when he saw Midnight's expression, he instantly understood.
It's just a thick eyebrow and a big man with a short beard who squeezes his eyebrows at him, and Luo Ming is still unspeakably uncomfortable.
But because the other party was the protector of the Earth Demon Sect, not only could Luo Ming not be able to show any dissatisfaction or disdain, but also had to force a laugh.
No, Luo Ming laughed dryly, and said earnestly: "Brother Midnight, don't blame Xiaosheng for criticizing you." Although Xiaosheng doesn't know what happened, no matter what happened, Qianhuan is also a woman, and you always have to let her go. ”
Midnight smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.
Seeing this, Luo Ming couldn't help but be stunned, thinking to himself Could it be that he would be wrong? But without waiting for him to guess something, Qian Xuan had a move at this time.
I saw Qianhuan move the lotus step lightly and slowly walked to Midnight's side, but he didn't even look at Midnight, and only said coldly to Luo Ming: "Luo Ming, you came here specifically for that incident?"
Luo Ming nodded noncommittally.
Seeing this, without saying a word, Qianhuan's body suddenly turned, and he jumped up, and then flew quickly towards a sand dune in the distance.
Luo Ming and Midnight looked at each other and didn't speak, and the two of them coincidentally held the magic trick together and followed the thousand illusions flying in front.
……
In the depths of the Great Wilderness, not far from the center of the vision, there is a barren, castle-like majestic complex called "Devil's City".
The Devil's City is in a northwest, east-west direction, with a length and width of more than ten miles, and at the same time, within a radius of thirty miles, the ground is a hundred zhang higher than other places.
There is a magical legend about Devil's Town.
Legend has it that a long, long time ago, it was originally a majestic castle. The men in the castle are handsome and strong, the women in the castle are beautiful and kind, and the people in the castle are diligent in their work and live a worry-free life with plenty of food and clothing.
However, with the accumulation of wealth, evil gradually took possession of people's hearts. They began to indulge in fun and wine, and the city was filled with deceit and bloodshed for riches, and every man's face became hideous and terrifying.
In order to arouse the conscience of the people, the god came to the castle in the form of a ragged beggar. The gods told the people here that it was evil that turned him from a rich man into a beggar.
However, the words of the beggar, that is, the gods, did not work, but were insulted and ridiculed by the people in the castle.
The gods couldn't bear it anymore, and in a fit of rage, they turned this place into ruins. All the people in the castle were crushed under the rubble.
So from then on, every night, the spirits of the dead mourned in the castle, hoping that the gods would hear their voices of repentance.
In the eyes of future generations, the Devil's City can be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.
From a distance, it will give people a sense of grandeur, majesty, and magic.
But once you go deep into it, you will feel its extraordinary horror. It is surrounded by many strange-shaped mounds, twenty or thirty feet high, and the side walls are steep, as if they were cut by the axe of a mighty man. Under his feet, there is all dry and cracked loess, and there is no grass on the loess, and there is a dead silence around.
If anyone comes here alone, if they are timid, they will tremble with fear and pee their pants.
But it is such a place that others are afraid to avoid, but there is a group of people who come here for this purpose.
Wu Dao and the other Heavenly Demon Sect disciples stood at the entrance of the Devil City, looking in, only to see that there were sand dunes and loess everywhere, and occasionally a lone tree stood among them, but it was already dying.
At the same time, there was an eerie smell in the air. In the sky above the Devil's Town, a mist like a gray veil wafts around, making it even more mysterious.
Wudao frowned and turned around.
However, not to mention the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, just take Hai Daxian and the dry corpse, their faces are a little solemn.
"No way!"
Hai Daxian couldn't help but scream and asked, "Do you really want to be here?"
Wudao glanced at the dried corpse and nodded noncommittally.
