He Xinyue, Luo Yan and Li Yu walked in a strange forest with sparse trees. The branches twisted and made all sorts of strange gestures, like evil spirits crying and struggling in hell, as if they were constantly asking for something, but they couldn't ask for it anyway. The body of the tree takes on an eerie black and red color, like iron and blood, dark and dead.
Luo Yan and Li Yu walked on both sides, and He Xinyue looked around vigilantly under the faint protection of the two. Suddenly, Li Yu and Luo Yan stopped together, and He Xinyue also paused, and looked up at the front.
At some point, the wind blew in the woods, and the wind blew up the black and red leaves on the ground, and when the wind gradually dissipated, a stone monument appeared in the middle of the road, blocking the way of several people. There are blood-red inscriptions faintly visible on the stele, but it is not clear because of the entanglement of dry vines on the stele.
Li Yu urged the fire trick, and the vines wrapped around the stone tablet were burned to ashes in an instant, revealing the original words on the stone tablet, and a few big characters were crooked and written--Like a ghost forest.
Luo Yan was puzzled: "There has never been a trace of people in this Suoxing Mountain for thousands of years, how can there be such a stone tablet here?" ā
At this moment, the three of them clearly heard a sound of footsteps approaching. The person who came was shrouded in black robes, unable to see his face, and a pair of unusually slender hands held a sickle with a faint blue halo, which made people feel the slightest breath of life, cold and terrifying.
He Xinyue took a step forward and politely brushed his body at the visitor: "Dare to ask Your Excellency who ......?"
The visitor did not speak, not even make a sound, except for the huge scythe that shimmered with a cold light that devoured the people.
He Xinyue couldn't help frowning, and Li Yu and Luo Yan also took a few steps forward and protected her behind them. Li Yu said coldly: "Your Excellency doesn't know how to be polite, you shouldn't say a word, you can't be arrogant." ā
As soon as he finished speaking, the person who came suddenly let out an inhuman roar, like a giant beast in the ancient wilderness, rushing towards the three of them like a glimpse.
"Nethers, ghosts!"
When he got closer, He Xinyue saw a terrifying skull under the black robe, and couldn't help but exclaim.
said that it was too late, He Xinyue was pulled by Luo Yan and flew back, but Li Yu stepped forward, grabbed a jade flute pinned to his waist and resisted the sickle that was cut down with a fierce force, a crisp sound sounded, and a vicious fight began.
The Hand Bones of the Nether Ghost Skeleton cracked, and Li Yu also spurted out a mouthful of blood, the blades kept colliding between the electric light and flint, the dark blue and emerald kept clashing against the black and red background, and the sound of the scythe and the jade flute hitting the human eardrum. Seeing that the two sides were at a stalemate, Luo Yanfei, who had been standing beside He Xinyue, stepped forward, and a sharp indigo long sword immediately appeared in his hand, pointing directly at the Netherworld Ghost Skull. Li Yu was able to pull out, his right arm had been cut out of a long wound, the wound was not deep, but it was still oozing blood, and the warm blood flowed down his arm, staining most of his palms red. He picked up the jade flute and put it to his lips, and a strange flute sound suddenly echoed in this world, and the ghost skeleton that was about to swing the sickle to Luo Yan suddenly howled in pain, and knelt on the ground with his head in one hand, Luo Yan saw this opportunity to pierce the body of the ghost skeleton with a sword. The indigo tip of the sword pierced in front of him and peeked through the back of the ghostly skeleton. The ghost skeleton that reacted swung towards Luo Yan with one hand into a claw, seeing that the attack was fierce, he couldn't avoid it, and the previous strange flute sound suddenly turned into a sharp flute sound, and the hand that the ghost skeleton waved out suddenly burst from the palm to the shoulder blade, and even the black robe on his body was crushed by an invisible force. Luo Yan urged the star power to gush out, and the indigo blue long sword instantly shone brightly, and the runes on the sword body flashed, causing the sword to stir violently in the body of the ghost skeleton. With the sound of bones shattering, another sharp flute sounded, and the ghost skeleton finally couldn't bear it anymore, the scythe fell to the ground, and the skeleton of the whole body also collapsed into a pile of scattered bones and flying bone powder, and finally lost his life. In the end, Luo Yan broke through the black robe with a sword and retreated to Li Yu's side.
"How are you?"
Li Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pinned the jade flute back to his waist, and said lightly: "It's okay." ā
He Xinyue looked at the blood that was still oozing from his arm, and didn't say a word, but grabbed his other hand and walked forward. Li Yu let him drag him, bypassed the stone tablet that read "Panruo Ghost Forest", and walked deeper into the forest. At the moment when they walked past the stone stele, the four big characters seemed to suddenly be illusory.
In fact, from the moment he entered Suoxing Mountain, the evil consciously poked his way out - this kid finally woke up from his slumber last night, and last time he dropped the chain in Xiao Yi's matter, although he thought that He Xinyue, who was the master, did not find the Jade Heart Heart Heart fragment for him in time, which caused him to be powerless to suppress the angry Xiao Yi for a moment, but it was impossible to say that he had no guilt at all. He Xinyue even suspected that this kid had woken up a long time ago, but he didn't have the face to come out to see her.
There is an evil consciously exploring the way, so at this time, He Xinyue can take Li Yu and Luo Yan forward without hesitation, as if she has been to this place many times and has long been familiar with the road here.
The Ghost Forest was large, but it didn't seem to be too big, and as they walked, the black forest kept retreating in their sight, until they came to a dry and isolated tree, and He Xinyue didn't stop.
Without waiting for the two to ask, she said to herself: "This entire Lock Star Mountain is actually an illusion, that is to say, from the moment we stepped into the Lock Star Mountain, we have been trapped in the illusion. Moreover, there is not only one illusion in Suoxing Mountain, but an illusion and an illusion that are connected to each other and do not interfere with each other, which can be described as a unique space illusion in the world. ā
After a pause, she said, "I'm afraid that no one on the current Star Stone Continent can create such a huge and magnificent illusion. The truth and falsehood in the illusion are uncertain, maybe we will go back now, and the ghost skeleton has long since disappeared. ā
Luo Yan looked at her: "Then what should we do now?" ā
Li Yu asked, "Since there is an entrance, can you find the exit of the illusion?" ā
He Xinyue groaned slightly, raised his hand to the tree in front of him, and said, "Look at this tree, it is the exit of this illusion. "Actually, the trees in the forest are sparse, and if you don't stand in front of this tree, even if you pass by it, you won't be able to perceive its unique sense of isolation.
"Don't ask me how I know," she squeezed Li Yu's palm, then looked at Luo Yan, and said with a firm gaze: "Trust me, let's go." ā
After speaking, He Xinyue let go of Li Yu's hand, took the lead in stepping forward, and at a distance of a finger from the tree, a strange fluctuation appeared in the space, and He Xinyue disappeared. Li Yu and Luo Yan glanced at each other, lowered their eyes to each other, and immediately followed with an unknown meaning.
