Chapter 282: Dead Souls
After finally passing the city gate, the flowers in the city gradually decreased, as if they were just a barrier, blocking outsiders from entering.
There are fewer and fewer people around him, just these flowers have blocked some people, and in addition to the night Brahma by Gu Lanyi's side, there are only seven or eight people from the big families left, as well as the leaders of the various forces.
Duanmu Qi and Duanmu Shuang didn't dare to come up at all, and Duanmu Wuji, as the strongest genius of the Heavenly Star Kingdom's royal family, also carefully took a pill, and tried it like Gu Nanyi, and then slowly entered the city.
Duanmu Wuji wanted to remind Gu Lanyi to be careful, but looking at the man beside her, the words stopped again.
She didn't need him to worry about it at all, he still took care of himself first.
This city in the clouds didn't look carefully until Gu Lanyi and the others entered, hidden behind the strange flowers, but among the clouds, it looked a little simple and old, as if it had been standing here for thousands of years.
The houses were no different from the usual ones, pale and mottled, with a dead silence, and no one had lived in them for a long time. It's just strange that all the houses, whether shops or restaurants, are closed, and you can't see what's inside.
A dull and dead silence arose, and Gu Lanyi walked slowly, always feeling that something was wrong.
"Beware, there's weirdness. Night Brahma reminded her.
This is also the first time he has encountered such a situation, and thinking that everything in the secret realm is impermanent and unknown, he rarely cheers up and observes.
Suddenly, there was a boom in my ears, and someone was doing it!
Gu Lanyi looked forward, and at some point, someone had already rushed in front of her.
A fluttering translucent shadow came out of nowhere, floating around a person, who seemed to be frightened, and subconsciously struck out a spiritual light.
Suddenly, it was like an explosion, and translucent shadows floated out from all directions, circling around the man. But this person is also a strong man, but he immediately fought back in shock, and suddenly the wind blew fiercely, and these shadows were scattered and fluttered.
Whoa......
More than a dozen shadows formed a circle, scrambling in the wind, encircling the man and unable to move. Under the rotation, it seems to be connected to form a translucent barrier, and the sound of the rotation is like a howling wind.
The man couldn't get out of the siege, and kept struggling to fight back, but his movements became slower and slower, and finally the whole person became skinny.
"Ahh
Transparent shadows pounced on him, going in and out of his body, sucking in life. In the blink of an eye, he had changed from a middle-aged man to a skinny old man, wrinkled, and his vitality rapidly diminished, finally turning into a pile of dry bones.
Everyone was shocked, shocked in disbelief, and their faces were full of horror.
The dignified Heavenly Venerable is powerful, the strongest of the strong, was swallowed up by a few shadows and died, what are these shadows?
Soon, the shadows floated again, wandering in all directions, as if looking for their next prey. They are fluttering, seemingly leisurely and harmless, aimless, but in fact they are more terrifying than the most powerful magical beasts, making people unable to resist them.
"It's terrifying, what are these shadows?" someone looked at it with fright.
At this moment, a translucent shadow floated out of the pile of dry bones and slowly flew up. Looking like that, it vaguely looked like the dead Tianzun master just now, with a state of confusion, wandering east and west, gradually drifting away.
Seeing this, even Gu Lanyi couldn't help but shudder.
Could it be that these shadows are the ones who died here?
How many shadows are there? How can they be destroyed? If you die here, you can't even reincarnate a spirit, and you have to become a ghost for the rest of your life, floating in a mirage, that's the most terrible thing.
When they thought of this, the rest of them had the idea of retreating.
They may not be afraid of danger, but they can't guard against the unknown. A seemingly beautiful flower turned out to be highly poisonous, and a few small shadows actually killed the power of Tianzun, if something else appeared, how to prevent it?
Almost no one dared to move on, everyone stayed where they were, and some even withdrew from the city gates altogether.
"Let's go, let's go over and have a look. At this time, Night Brahma said, Gu Lanyi glanced at him, she really didn't care, she reacted, it seems that these things are not a concern for Night Brahma at all.
Nodding, Gu Lanyi still reminded: "Okay, then you be careful." ”
Night Brahma fluttered and walked to the front, Gu Lanyi followed beside him, vigilant everywhere. The two of them seemed to be walking leisurely, seemingly relaxed, but in fact, the whole spirit spread out in all directions like a spider web.
Night Brahma looked at everything in this city, and it was the first time he had encountered such a secret realm, and he was also a little curious about what would happen and what would appear inside.
He walked over to the bone-clumped blob of clothes and took a look. The person who was alive before has now turned into a pile of white miserable bones, and his spirit has been left in this city, turning into a shadow and floating around.
Seeing his thoughtful look, Gu Lanyi asked in a low voice, "Do you know what those shadows were just now?"
"It's supposed to be a dead soul or something. ”
Night Brahma stretched out a hand, as if to probe something, and said, "The environment here is very strange, it seems to have a kind of imprisoning power, but this is not man-made, it should be naturally formed. Once someone dies here, his spirit will be left behind in this city, and he will never be able to leave. ”
"Isn't there no way to reincarnate then?" Gu Lanyi's eyes shrank.
"Even the gods have become dead souls, where is there any reincarnation? Either imprisoned by this city, or destroyed by outsiders like us, or it will only wander here forever and endlessly.
"It's worse than death. Gu Lanyi sighed.
As he spoke, the translucent shadows that had disappeared before appeared one by one, some from the walls, some from the roof. Others were right in front of them, poking their heads out of the ground, fluttering, and soon surrounded them.
When Gu Lanyi and them stepped into the city, those Tianzun and the presidents who had not entered the city watched their every move from outside the city.
"Look, sure enough, those things are coming again, and these two people will definitely be killed. ”
"If you're really not afraid of death, let's see how they can hide. ”
Everyone secretly speculated, shocked, and expectant, if these two people couldn't avoid these fluttering shadows, then they were afraid that they would have to reconsider. Even though it was a mirage, they knew that their lives mattered.
But if this man and woman can avoid these shadows, maybe they can give it a try.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Lanyi and Ye Brahma were surrounded by these shadows. She didn't feel anything when she was far away before, but now that this shadow was floating around like a ghost, Gu Lanyi immediately sensed a strong cold aura.
"These are dead souls, be careful not to get too close to them. Night Brahma reminded.
Just then, a dead spirit rushed towards him, getting closer, and could even see a distorted human face in the translucent shadow.
There was a strong sense of evil attacking, but the night Brahma didn't even change his face, just waved his hand, and the shadow disappeared in front of him as if it was blown away by a strong wind.
But this provoked the siege of other dead souls, who rushed towards the two of them.
I saw that with a flick of the Night Brahma fingertips, a ray of spiritual light shot out from his hand, and it suddenly turned into dozens of thin needletips, stabbing straight towards those dead souls.
Strange sounds came out, as if it was the sound of the wind, and as if there were countless people screaming, and once the shadows touched the tips of these spiritual light needles, they immediately dissipated, like ice and snow under the scorching sun, disappearing.
Gu Lanyi was also facing the two dead souls here, the long sword in her hand was shining, but it was useless for these shadows to slash down with a sword. Directly penetrated her long sword, and the two groups of dead souls rushed straight towards her, getting closer, and the evil and cold feeling pierced Gu Lanyi's hair standing on end.
Suddenly, Night Brahma stretched out his hand and pulled Gu Lanyi behind him, and with a wave of his hand, the two dead souls suddenly disappeared.
A strong coercion was released from the night Brahma, and although there were still more than a dozen dead souls around him, he refused to leave, but he didn't dare to approach after all,
At this time, Gu Lanyi was a little afraid, if she hadn't followed the night Brahma, she was afraid that she would also be hurt by these dead souls. I didn't expect these seemingly simple shadows to be so terrifying, as if there were countless evils lurking in them. No wonder the Heavenly Venerable just now couldn't stand it at all.
After experiencing it once, I can deeply understand this horror.
Gu Lanyi became more and more curious about this sky city that appeared in the clouds, although she was a little frightened, she only felt extremely relieved to know that there was a night Brahma by her side.
The dead spirits wandering around them finally disappeared, Gu Lanyi waited for a while, and did not see other dead souls appear, thinking that they were frightened away by the Night Brahma. She finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to have you, these things are really weird, even my Nine Rank Spirit Sword can't deal with them." ”
"Dealing with these things is not something that can be done if you have a high level of cultivation or a strong technique. Everything is mutually reinforcing, as long as you can find their weaknesses, even an ordinary cultivator can deal with them. ”
"Then what method did you use just now?" Gu Lanyi looked at him with a wink.
Night Brahma did not hide it, and the corners of his lips hooked: "Since these are dead souls, there are only two things they are most afraid of." ”
"Which two?"
"Didn't you notice that there's no sunlight in this city?"
Gu Lanyi reacted at this time, indeed, although this mirage appeared in the clouds, there was no sunlight around, and the surroundings were bleak, as if it was cloudy, covered with a layer of ashes, and even a trace of coldness.
"It turns out that those things are afraid of the sun. ”
"I wasn't sure before, but I just tried to inject some vitality into these dead souls, and they immediately dissipated, and the effect was very good. Therefore, it can be seen that the dead soul is the first to be afraid of sunlight, so it can survive in such an environment for a long time. Second, what can restrain these dead souls is vitality. ”
At this time, there was a sound of flying behind the two, and when they turned their heads, they saw that the Heavenly Venerables who were still guarding the city gate before had followed in one by one.
"I don't know what method the two of you used to destroy those ghosts?" Wei Chengde, the leader of the Refiner Guild, couldn't help but take the lead in asking.
As soon as these words came out, everyone stared at the night Brahma one by one. They could see clearly that the young man in black had killed those shadows with a wave of his hand, and they couldn't imagine such a technique.
