Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Mysterious Land
I didn't expect to meet people here, and everyone suddenly became alert.
Those who were able to get here either walked ahead of them, passing through the colourful lakes and endless rocky beaches. Either that, or from other routes, all in all, the strength should not be underestimated.
Xia Yan and Gu Haoyan glanced at each other and nodded. Whoever the other party was, they had to go over and take a look, for the ruins were the only place they could find to spend the night tonight.
Deliberately increasing the pace, the group walked over slowly, Gu Lanyi led Gu Xiaotian to walk, and did not notice the existence of a demonic beast in front of him. The gun shoots the first bird, she will definitely not highlight herself, and she will paddle in the crowd, safety is the first thing.
When everyone finally walked in front of a huge stone pillar, the sound of footsteps finally alarmed the people in front.
"Who?" came the voice of alarm.
Gu Haoyan immediately stood up and raised his voice: "We are people from the Gu family and the Xia family of Yuncang Country, who are you who come here to practice?"
Several figures suddenly stood up, and everyone realized that there was more than one other.
A tall, muscular man walked over, carrying a huge plate axe on his shoulder, but he looked unusually relaxed. His footsteps were steady and made a heavy sound, and with every step he took, he would leave a footprint on the ground, and his cultivation would be undoubted.
"It turned out to be from Yuncang Kingdom. The other party showed his identity in one sentence, he is not from Yuncang Kingdom.
The four most powerful countries in the Donglan Continent are Yuncang Kingdom, Heavenly Star Kingdom, Fangu Kingdom, Xuanhuang Kingdom, and countless small countries and special forces, such as the Hunter Guild, the Alchemist Guild, and the Beast King Palace, etc.
This sturdy man had a deep face and a solemn expression, and at first glance he was a figure with the temperament of a leader, he stood in front of the Gu family and the Xia family, and said in a low voice: "My door belongs to the Hunter Guild of the Heavenly Star Country, and the purpose of the same as you is to try your luck." β
As he spoke, he laughed at himself again: "But obviously, we failed." β
Gu Lanyi glanced at him, but saw that the leather armor he had rumored was already tattered, and the surface was covered with scratches, thinking that he had encountered countless demonic beast attacks along the way. Scars can also be seen on the shoulders and arms, and they have not even healed, it should be that the elixir has been used up, and it has reached the point of exhaustion.
As for the few companions behind him, the situation was similar to him, all of them were wounded, looked sluggish, and seemed to be very tired. But when people are alive, there is hope, why are they so decadent?
Xia Yan talked to this person, wanting to know about the situation of this location, but the other party didn't seem to mean to say much, shook his head and told them to rest early and then turned back. Xia Yan was bored, and snorted: "What, if it weren't for the special situation, this son would ......"
There was a murderous look in his eyes.
Encountering Warcraft in the wilderness is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is encountering people.
Because Warcraft may not necessarily attack you, but people often stab you in front of you behind your back.
Many big families have even raised special hunting teams, which are dedicated to searching for teams with rich harvests and injuries, taking the opportunity to snatch each other's prey and harvests, and taking what the other party has obtained from birth and death as their own.
Gu Haoyan naturally understood what Xia Yan meant, and now that the Gu Xia family has joined forces, they are also the eight great families of Yuncang Kingdom, and they naturally join forces when they go out. But when you encounter other forces, you can't say for sure!
"The situation is unknown, let's rest for one night. Gu Haoyan shook his head at him, signaling not to act rashly.
There was no fear that the other party would kill him, and the numerical advantage made the people of Gu Xia's two families full of confidence. Second, everyone is also tired, they have just experienced so many high-intensity fierce battles, and now everyone just wants to rest, fill their stomachs and sleep beautifully.
Soon, the people of Gu Xia's two families separated and found a stone pillar to rest.
Some people are responsible for checking the surroundings, whether there are hidden magical beasts, some people are responsible for lighting a fire and cooking, some people are responsible for setting up tents, and there are still a lot of supplies in reserve for the first night of going out, so there is no need to worry about food and accommodation. Soon, the fireworks lit up the cooking smoke, and in a moment the aroma of food could be heard in the air.
"Did you find anything?" Xia Yan asked a martial artist of the Xia family.
"Back to the young master, everything is safe, except for a few pillars, there is nothing. β
Glancing around, Gu Lanyi sat on a big rock with his son in his arms and watched quietly. Gao Qiyun was cooking on the side, and she took out some small snacks and water from the space ring, and asked her son to fill his stomach first.
"Are you tired, Xiaotian?"
"It's a little tired. Gu Xiaotian rubbed his eyes worriedly.
"Then you will rest when you have dinner, and your mother will accompany you. β
At this time, Zhenyi walked over, wanting to speak and stopping.
Gu Lanyi's heart moved, and he lowered his voice and said, "What do you want to say?"
As for Zhenyi, she already knew that he was the man's subordinate, and Zhenyi also made it clear that the man was indeed related to the Dark King's Palace. Now that he has entered the periphery of the Dark King's Palace, everything is unknown and mysterious, and if he can tell anything, it would be the best.
Who knows, Zhen Yi raised his chin at the strong man not far away, and motioned to Gu Lanyi: "Be careful, they seem to have a problem." β
Glancing at the people who reflected the firelight, Gu Lanyi asked rhetorically: "What, even you are afraid of them?
"I'm afraid of them, hmph, I'm just worried about the little young master!"
"With you, Xiaotian still has an accident, then you can commit suicide and apologize. β
There was a word without saying a word, but Gu Lanyi muttered in his heart.
This person has always been arrogant, and unless he mentions his master, he will not admit defeat to anyone. But tonight, he reminded her that there was something wrong with the group, what did he perceive, or what did he know?
"The area around the Dark King Hall is full of Xuan Qi, whether it is a demonic beast or a plant, or even a stone, it will produce abnormalities if it is in an environment full of Xuan Qi for a long time. Zhen Yi finally gave up and raised the bar with Gu Lanyi, and said what he knew, "It's like here." β
He looked at the stone pillars in the irregular divisions around him: "Although I don't know what these stone pillars are for, they must not be as simple as they appear. β
Stone pillar?
Gu Lanyi turned around and saw that there was one not far behind her.
Approaching the stone pillars, she carefully observed, although these stone pillars had decayed and weathered, and the surface was seriously peeled off, she could still see that they were once full of patterns. These patterns are intricate and mysterious, and seem to resemble inscriptions, but the inscriptions are carved in a special way and do not peel off easily.
Could it be that these stone pillars were once a formation laid by some great power?
Everything is unknown, Gu Lanyi even used superbrain detection, and only came to the conclusion that it was a stone pillar carved from basalt, and there was no energy in addition, nor was there anything special.
"Hostess, it's time to eat. Gao Qiyun's shout came from behind him.
"Mother, it's time to eat. Gu Xiaotian also ran over in a hurry.
Touching the top of his son's soft hair, Gu Lanyi left this matter behind, since he couldn't understand it, he didn't bother to the senseless heart.
The ingredients for dinner are all stored in the storage ring by Gao Qiyun in advance, and there are all kinds of meat, vegetables, mushrooms, rice and noodles. There were some fresh mushrooms floating on a large pot of fragrant broth, Gao Qiyun diligently filled a bowl and handed it to Gu Lanyi, Gu Lanyi blew it cold, and handed it to Gu Xiaotian.
"Mother eats first. Gu Xiaotian yawned.
"Xiaotian is full, so hurry up and go to bed. Gu Lanyi said lovingly.
Hearing his mother say this, Gu Xiaotian obediently held the bowl, drinking soup and eating vegetables at the same time.
Gu Haoyan's side was simple and rude, directly erected the shelf, roasted the skin and plucked monster meat golden, and the smell of meat spread out, everyone ate the meat, and took out the wine in the gourd to drink, as if it was relaxed and lively.
Long Miaoyan was also sitting on a stone, and Gu Haoyan was using a small silver knife to cut the barbecue into small pieces, and then handed it to her, serving her very intimately.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, lighting up the night sky.
Everyone was startled, and they all froze, and an ominous premonition arose.
On the other side, the stout man looked at the lightning and thunder in the sky, his face suddenly turned abrupt, and the spiritual weapon in his hand was immediately copied in his hand, looking around with a vigilant face.
At this moment, Gu Lanyi also suddenly heard the reminder of the super brain: "Energy changes, beware, beware......"
Energy anomaly, what's going on?
Immediately after, everyone felt a gust of wind blowing around them, and a faint mist rising, gradually enveloping the surroundings. Gu Lanyi suddenly felt that something was wrong, only to hear Xia Yan rush to the strong man and shout at him: "What's wrong, do you know anything?"
"Here we go again...... Here we go again......"
"We've already died, and we can't hold on anymore......" the men muttered to themselves, their eyes full of despair.
The air fluctuated more and more distinctly, as if something was about to appear. Gu Xia, who had never experienced this, became more and more nervous, back to back one by one, vigilantly looking at the increasingly dense fog around them.
"Roarβ"
A demonic beast's roar sounded, and the battle completely began, and the strong man and several companions suddenly had blood-red eyes, and rushed into the dense fog with a wild shout. There was another sound of flapping wings, and several huge demon bats appeared in front of them, squeaking and swooping towards everyone.
Where did these monsters come from?
Gu Lanyi could see clearly that there were no demonic beasts nearby before, but as soon as the lightning sounded, a dense fog appeared, and countless demonic beasts immediately appeared. She didn't even notice where these monsters came from, as if they appeared out of thin air.
Sure enough, the Dark King's Hall is a hundred miles away, and it is a terrifying and mysterious place!
It is worthy of being the four dangerous places on the mainland.
The fight became more and more dangerous, the people of Gu Xia's family had just rested, and before they finished eating, they encountered a sneak attack by a demonic beast. Gu Lanyi protected his son, and his wings stood at the front, and a strong coercion was released, and not a single demonic beast rushed to this side.
Suddenly, a dazzling lightning bolt lit up, just slashing at the stone pillar, and suddenly the electric charge flowed and sizzled.
Gu Feiyan happened to be next to the stone pillar, he didn't even make a scream, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
