Chapter 123: Stone Box Scroll
Under the guidance of Jiyi, Twilight left waves of churning water in the gloomy river and swam towards the bottom of the Minnu River. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
When the bottom of the Minnu River clearly appeared in Twilight's field of vision, he couldn't help but be shocked by the sight in front of himβthe vast bottom of the Minnu River was full of countless strange creatures.
Although they take the form of humans, their bodies are withered and emaciated, without a trace of moisture in them, and they are encased in a pitch-black robe. Even if you look at it from a distance, you can't help but feel a sense of oppression in your heart.
These are the Phantom Puppet Army, which was famous in the Eastern Continent and made all forces extremely fearful.
When Twilight shuttled through the Phantom Golem Army and came into close contact with it, he found it more clearly that the Phantom Golem's face was like a skeleton, his eyes were deeply sunken in his sockets, two huge fangs were leaking into the air, and the sharp teeth in his mouth still exuded a chilling edge.
Twilight-kun said to Jiyi on his shoulder, "Little Tiger, do you feel that the phantom puppet sealed here doesn't seem to be the same as the one we met before. β
Jiyi's face also became solemn, nodded his head and said: "It's indeed a little different, but if you want to say what's different, it seems that there is an indescribable feeling." β
One person and one tiger closed their eyes in unison, feeling the aura emanating from the phantom puppet army around them, and at the same time trying their best to recall in their minds the feelings that the awakened phantom puppets gave them.
The two of them opened their eyes almost at the same time and said in unison, "Evil spirit." β
"These phantom puppets sealed in the Minnu River only give people a huge sense of oppression and suffocation, but compared to the phantom puppets we met before, they lack such an evil aura." Twilight said.
Ji Yi nodded and said, "The awakened phantom puppet does reveal a terrifying evil aura, but in comparison, the phantom puppet here is so gentle. β
Twilight said, "Strange, that doesn't make sense. The puppets that are both refined by the Lord of the Blue Underworld City, why is there a difference between the two? β
"Could it be because when the Blue Netherworld City Lord sealed the phantom puppet army here, he also sealed the evil qi in their bodies?" Ji Yi guessed.
Twilight-kun looked around and nodded a little reluctantly. Although Jiyi's statement was very reasonable, he still didn't believe it, or he didn't want to believe it. Because his intuition was telling him that it wouldn't be that simple.
"After swimming for so long, how far are you from the land that exudes blood?" Passing through the rows of phantom puppet armies, Twilight asked.
Jiyi sniffed the little tiger's nose vigorously again, and said in a milky voice: "It's not far, it's just ahead." β
In the midst of the dense phantom puppet army, a clearing suddenly appeared, surrounded by the phantom puppet army around it, and the turbid river made it impossible to fully see the scene.
Jiyi said: "This is it, and the blood breath comes from it." β
Twilight's heart tightened, and he struggled to swim into the clearing.
Stepping on the bottom of the Minnu River, Twilight felt as if he was suspended in the void, and he didn't feel anything under his feet. But at this time, he had no intention of caring about these abnormalities, he only hoped to find the injured people as soon as possible, if it was Lan Linyuan or Bai Mu, he would take them out of the Minnu River as soon as possible.
However, Twilight searched the entire clearing, but found no sign of anyone, let alone an injured person.
"It's strange, the blood breath is obviously coming from here, why can't you find the injured person?" Ji Yi said.
Twilight Jun also clearly felt the pungent smell of blood, coming from this clearing, "Could it be that it was carried to another place by the current?" β
Jiyi sniffed again, shook his head and said, "Impossible, this space is surrounded by the Phantom Puppet Army, and the water flow is extremely calm, and it will not produce enough power to wash away the human race." Moreover, the blood breath is broken here, which can only mean that this is the last place where the injured person appeared. β
Twilight-kun joked, "In that case, why can't anyone be found here, did they disappear out of thin air?" β
Speaking of this, Twilight Jun and Jiyi shuddered suddenly, and looked at each other one after another, their expressions suddenly solemn. Twilight's casual remark made them think that this might be the only explanation.
The injured person came here for some unknown reason, but suddenly something happened that made him disappear in an instant, leaving only the blood flowing from his body to melt into the water of the Minnu River.
Thinking of this, Twilight looked around vigilantly, and now it was certain that there must be something strange about this place.
The extremely fluffy tiger face on his shoulders also showed a rare look of caution, and when he inadvertently looked behind Twilight, he was surprised to find a pitch-black figure moving quickly towards Twilight. Jiyi didn't have time to remind Twilight, and the figure came to Twilight's back like a black lightning bolt in an instant.
Twilight felt that there seemed to be someone behind him, and he was shocked, he didn't expect that there was someone hiding in the darkness, and when he searched just now, he obviously didn't find any sign of anyone.
He was about to turn around when one arm bound his arms and body, and another hand covered his mouth from behind. Twilight Jun turned back suddenly, his eyes widening in an instantβthe black shadow turned out to be Lan Linyuan.
Lan Linyuan slowly withdrew the arm that was covering Twilight's mouth, and just as Twilight was about to speak, Lan Linyuan made a silent gesture. Twilight Jun noticed that Lan Linyuan's face was a little nervous and serious, and there was a hint of excitement in it.
Twilight looked at Lan Linyuan with some confusion, Lan Linyuan waved his arm, leaned down slowly, and motioned for Twilight to do what he did, leading Twilight Jun in front of him towards a boulder on the side.
When Twilight Jun approached the boulder, he realized that it was a hill immersed in the Minnu River, and he and Lan Linyuan were in an abrupt part of this hill.
Twilight Jun couldn't control the doubts in his heart, and asked softly, "Brother Lan, where are you taking me?" β
Lan Linyuan made another silent gesture, then pointed ahead and motioned for Twilight Jun to look there.
Twilight leaned against the rock wall, seeing only another dimly lit clearing in front of him, the scene blurry and difficult to see. Suddenly, just as Twilight was about to turn around in disappointment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he noticed that the murky water of the Minnu River in the clearing in front of him suddenly fluctuated, although it was very slight, but it was still in his eyes.
Then, a scene that shocked Twilight even more appeared, two dark shadows appeared in his field of vision out of thin air, and they were staggering forward in an extremely distorted posture.
There seemed to be something still dragging in the hands of the two black shadows, and Twilight could faintly see that a black object was on the tray in the hands of one of the black shadows, and he looked closely and found that it was actually a stone box. On top of the other tray is a reel.
The black shadow held the stone box and scroll smoothly and slowly walked towards the hill.
Twilight Jun wondered, these two black shadows were undoubtedly two phantom puppets, but why did they appear here? And they were carrying a strange stone box and a scroll, where were they going?
After a brief loss of consciousness, Twilight tried to re-observe the two dark shadows, but suddenly found that they suddenly disappeared as they approached the rock wall of the hill, as if they were swallowed by the rock wall in an instant.
Lan Linyuan, who was on the side, made a gesture to Twilight Jun after seeing the phantom puppet disappear, and took the lead in swimming in the direction where the phantom puppet disappeared. Twilight Jun looked at Lan Linyuan's gradually blurred back, his eyes showed a solemnity, he felt that Lan Linyuan seemed to be a little wrong now, he must know something mysterious.
Without any further hesitation, Twilight Jun chased after Lan Linyuan. Suddenly, he saw that Lan Linyuan in front of him had disappeared when he was close to the rock wall of the hill, which made his heart tremble, could it be that this rock wall could really devour living beings?
He slowed down and slowly moved towards the rock wall. When he was less than a few feet away from the rock wall, Twilight finally realized that the disappeared people were not swallowed by the rock wall, there was a cave at the bottom of the rock wall, and the phantom puppet and Lan Linyuan had entered the cave and disappeared, because the dim environment around them made it impossible for people to see, so it created the illusion of being swallowed by the rock wall.
Twilight enters the cave, a dimly lit cave that makes it impossible to see his surroundings from the water. About a quarter of an hour later, just as Twilight's patience was about to wear off, a light suddenly appeared in the water in front of him, and Twilight was overjoyed and quickly swam towards the light.
As the light in the distance got closer and closer, Twilight noticed that a black stone staircase had appeared below him, and as he stepped on the stone stairs, it came to the surface. Not far from him was an empty cave, and Lan Linyuan was in the middle of that cave.
When Twilight left the water, he couldn't help but feel a sense of security as he floated in the water for a long time and then stepped back on land.
He came to Lan Linyuan's side and found that Lan Linyuan was staring intently ahead, without a trace of expression on his face, and he didn't pay any attention to the twilight monarch on the side.
In front of them was a large high platform, flanked by stairs leading to it. Twilight noticed that the two vanished phantom golems were slowly walking up the stone steps to the platform, and the stone boxes and scrolls in their hands had begun to glow a dark purple light.
When Twilight's gaze fell on the high platform, he saw four figures floating in the void above the high platform, and three of them gave him a sense of familiarity.
When Twilight Jun looked closely, his face instantly changed color, and drops of cold sweat involuntarily dripped downward. At that moment, he only felt as if he had fallen into the abyss, and a chill welled up in his heart. The four figures in the void, Twilight Monarch, were all familiar with Bai Ling, Bai Mu, Yan Teng, and ...... Lan Linyuan.
Twilight Jun suddenly turned to look at Lan Linyuan on the side, but found that Lan Linyuan, who had been speechless, slowly turned around, with a weird smile on his face, and looked at himself without blinking.
