She walked in this dead silence, looking up at the bright moon overhead from time to time. Stop-and-go, stop-and-go, over and over again, she sensed something was wrong. The moon seemed to be so bright from the beginning, bright without any dimness, so uniform that it seemed to have been carefully tepicted by someone.

Thinking about it, she raised her hand and twisted a trace of golden light, and shot it out with a flick of her fingers. Golden light is her innate divine power, and it is also a symbol of her status as a demigod, with the power to see through all illusions.

The golden light flew out, sending out a clear roar similar to that of a divine crane, and as the sound slowly rippled, a wave-like ripple spread out in the air. Layer after layer, one by one, Gu Yao suddenly understood that he had unconsciously walked into an environment. This illusion is naturally not as powerful as before, but it also has an outstanding place, that is, it is not a physical condensation, and there is no treasure. Under the influence of the golden light, the transparent surroundings instantly revealed a trace of darkness comparable to the night, deep and thick, like splashes of ink.

It's just that this night is not silent, it is a piece of dead air condensed. Although it is invisible, it has the sorrow of the soul before it dies.

"I knew this little trick was unlikely to work for you." In the emptiness, a gloomy sigh sounded, with a hint of approval.

When Gu Yao heard the voice, he didn't look around, stood in place, and looked down. The green grass fluttered in the night breeze, as if it was tired of stretching and maintaining a fixed position. And under the stretched greenery, a huge face was hidden in the dirt, because it was too huge, and in the cracks of the grassroots, you could only see the two white teeth exposed by the smile.

"Who are you?"

In her memory, there had never been anything so huge.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who I will become." The other party sells the guanzi.

"And who do you want to become?"

"I want to be a human being."

"People?"

"An ordinary person."

"And what are you now?"

"I'm not a thing."

"And what are you?"

"I don't know."

After such a question and answer, Gu Yao couldn't guess the identity of the other party, obviously there was no dead air on his body, but he lived in such a place full of dead energy. Obviously not human, but he has human consciousness and the ability to dialogue.

"You're a youkai?" After reasoning, she asked tentatively.

"You're a monster!" The other party is very displeased, although it is not a ghost or a human, but it is not the kind of monster that is tired of it.

Gu Yao was inexplicably yelled at by the other party, and with a wave of her hand, the lawn within ten meters centered on her was cut away in unison, revealing not a dark layer of soil, but a lumpy layer of ice. Seeing such a strange scene, she was stunned. What the hell is this thing?

If she knew that Lan Lan would come with her, maybe she could still see the other party's origin.

"Why are you taking off my clothes!" Seeing that the lawn was cut, the man's voice changed from calm to screaming, which was terrible and harsh.

When Gu Yao heard his terrifying words, his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, and he said angrily: "There is a layer of ice all around, where is there something that can't be seen!" ”

"What is the reason?" The voice was unrelenting, "The ice is me, I am the ice, you see me bare now, you are responsible for me!" ”

Gu Yao listened to the other party's nonsense, and her heart sank, could it be that she came to the wrong place? No matter how you look at it, this voice doesn't look like the monster that Xue Shaowei said carelessly cares about human life, but more like an unreasonable troublemaker.

"Hey! Why don't you speak! The voice didn't hear Gu Yao's voice, and shouted dissatisfied.

Gu Yao was shocked when she heard his words, couldn't it see?

The voice waited for a while, but still didn't hear Gu Yao's voice, and couldn't help but murmur, "Did you run away?" What irresponsible! ”

Gu Yao recognized him and wanted to see how it could identify itself. At this time, a wind suddenly set off around her, and the wind fell on her body, reflecting a circle of arcs, and the next moment the other party's smug voice was heard.

"Do you think I won't find you if you don't speak! As long as you're on my turf, I'll find you even if you're invisible! ”

Gu Yao saw through its trick, but still didn't make a sound. Looking at the ice around her that she had deliberately cut but still couldn't show the whole picture of the other party, she took the trouble to ask again, "When were you here?" ”

"Aren't you irresponsible to me? Then you don't care when I was born! ”

"......" Gu Yao felt that she had come to the wrong place, and she was very helpless when she looked at the big mouth that was sometimes closed and sometimes opened under her feet.

When it didn't hear a response, it was very upset, "You're so weird! You're not here to talk to me, what are you doing here! Don't want to be responsible for me, just get out! ”

After speaking, a gust of wind blew around, blowing Gu Yao away from the ice, causing her hair to fly and her face wrinkled.

"Stop!" With no image, Gu Yao had to speak out to stop it.

"What?" It's negotiable, and it stops.

Although Gu Yao has not deliberately modified her appearance, being blown so unimaged is not something she is willing to accept. She brushed her hair and asked into the big mouth below, "Are you the only one here?" ”

"Nonsense! Is there anything bigger and more powerful here than me? ”

"Have you ever been out of here?"

"What are you doing! I'm not interested, and you need to know me so deeply! "It's starting to play tricks again.

Gu Yao was very annoyed by its chaotic thinking, and couldn't help but increase her tone, "You answer my question first, this is the most basic courtesy!" ”

"How dare you yell at me!" The thing screamed with its mouth wide open.

Gu Yao looked at the mouth with huge teeth, guarding against the other party's sudden attack, and flew into the air to stand in mid-air.

"I've been here for so long, and no one dares to yell at me! You're really ...... Is...... It's too much of a rebellion! The thing was furious, racking its brains and scolding its newfound words.

Great rebellion?

Gu Yao was once again shocked by the other party's unreasonable character, and somehow impulsively retorted, "It's not that no one yelled at you, it's that no one came here at all." ”

After saying it, she was stunned, when did she learn to be poor?

"Ahh The thing was visibly enraged, and let out a few shaking shouts.

The wind struck again, and Gu Yao had to set up an enchantment to defend himself in order to stabilize his body. At the same time, thinking about Xue Shaowei's words, it stands to reason that he can't find a mistake, but there is really no such thing as Xue Shaowei's so-called indiscriminate killing of innocents here. And the thing hiding here is so huge, if it leaves, I'm afraid the whole mountain here will collapse, so it probably won't leave here.

But if it's not this thing, then what is it?

Whether I didn't find out, or I ignored something.

Just as he was thinking about it, the surroundings suddenly darkened, and the moonlight, which had been very bright before, suddenly dimmed, as if someone had shone on the lampshade.

The wind suddenly stopped, and the silence around them suddenly returned.

Gu Yao felt that something was wrong, and looked at the ice under his feet, but saw that the big mouth that was still open and closed before was gone, and there was nothing in the transparent ice.

The surroundings seemed to be unchanged, but Gu Yao felt that an immeasurable force was condensing.
