Chapter 254: Trapped

However, those resentful spirits stopped at the beginning of the steps, and they didn't even raise their feet to step up the steps, and the reason may be what Li Xieye did before.

"Let's go quickly, don't look at it, we can't afford to waste time now, and we don't know if Li Wanqing is inside!"

Li Xiye turned his head, glanced at the situation downstairs lightly, and then commanded at the white cocoon. The white cocoon didn't stay too long, what Li Xiye said was very right, now they can't afford to waste this time, rescue Li Wanqing, and then hurry out of this place is true.

After walking up the stairs for some distance, they were finally able to get a rough idea of the structure of the building. Just like before, this room is a circle, except that there are phoenixes carved on its walls, which encircle the whole house, and it looks quite gorgeous.

And where the steps are connected, there is a small black vacancy, which should be the main entrance.

Because I don't know if there will be any monsters suddenly coming out of the main entrance, and maybe even the mastermind behind the scenes will come out directly from inside, and the three of them are very careful along the way,

When they finally made it to the top safely, all three breathed a sigh of relief. It's not scary to encounter monsters, but I'm afraid that the monsters will suddenly come out and scare them, and the space on the stairs is too small for inconvenient fighting.

After breathing a sigh of relief, the three of them began to look at the room in front of them, but when they saw the door, the expressions on their faces froze.

This is not an ordinary door at all, but something like a prison barricade surrounded by a dozen iron pillars. But that's not the deadliest thing, they can't find any way to get here!

"What should I do?"

"Anyway, check the ...... inside"

As he spoke, Li Xiye leaned his head to the edge of the iron fence and began to observe the scene inside. The white cocoons also leaned up, and then they saw that in the middle of the house was a huge iron pillar, and there were several doors around it that seemed to lead to the outside, because of the dimness they could not see the details of the inside of the house, but they could barely make out that there was a person tied to the pillar.

"Li Wanqing!"

The white callus recognized it at once, and began to shout loudly to try to get her attention, but no matter how much she tried, there was no way. Just when he even wanted to destroy the iron fence directly, suddenly a red light flashed inside, and then suddenly, a face appeared in front of the white cocoon.

It was a woman's face, but it was only half of it, and the other half was only bone, and there was only one eye, and only one eye socket on the other side. The woman's hair fluttered over her shoulders, and she suddenly appeared grinning at the white calloused porcelain teeth, and her eyes widened.

Bai Cocoon only felt his heart contract, and almost fell backwards directly, Li Xiye was also startled, but his reaction was much better than Bai Cocoon's, and after taking a few steps back, he had already picked up a black rune paper in his hand and threw it inside.

The rune paper passed through the railing without a hitch, but just as it was about to attach the body of what was supposed to be a monster, the monster with half of its face gone took a step back and raised his finger to the rune paper.

With a bang, the rune paper spontaneously ignited in the air and burned to ashes.

Li Xiye was stunned in place for a moment, then grabbed the white cocoon and Ouyang Xinyi, turned around and ran, shouting as he ran:

"Run! Go to a safe place and go back to the original world! This is not something we can solve! ”

"Hey, wait a minute! So what about Li Wanqing? ”

White Cocoon and Ouyang Heartmare kept up with him very dexterously, but Bai Cocoon was still very worried about Li Wanqing's situation, so he asked.

"Go out to find reinforcements, I just hope she will be alive until then!"

Li Xiye gritted his teeth, in fact, he was not willing to leave here, but there was no way, that black rune paper was already the highest level of spell he could use, but not to mention that it was useless to that monster, and it was even destroyed directly.

"Isn't that a little too irresponsible?"

Cocoon frowned, although it seems that this is the best strategy at the moment, but is it really good to be so irresponsible? Li Xiye was a little speechless, and felt that the idea of a white cocoon was too immature.

"Whether you are responsible or not, the first thing to see is whether this responsibility is directly related to you, and then you have the ability to do so. If you are obviously incapable and still have to take responsibility that has nothing to do with you, you are not self-sufficient and self-defeating! ”

“……”

I have to say that although Li Xiye's words are a bit ugly, the truth is very real. If it is a responsibility that you have a direct relationship with, then of course you will be responsible for it in any case, but if it is something that has nothing to do with you and your ability is not enough, then it is really better to give up.

Now it's clear that the three of them have nothing to do with that monster, and if they don't escape, it will be really irresponsible!

After figuring it out, the white cocoon was no longer entangled, and the three of them rushed down the stairs quickly. Although there were a lot of resentful souls gathered here, Li Xiye unceremoniously threw out a piece of black rune paper, and after a dark red blade slashed, all the corpses of those entities were scattered, and those resentful souls also burned under the fireball of the white cocoon, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke.

The road was cleared at once, but when they had stepped onto the smooth stone road and had gone on for a short time, the three of them stopped in unison.

"Stay and witness the birth of the phoenix."

A man with a large brown cloak, a deaf hat, and a very disheveled hair, and a face covered with stubble stood in front of the three men. Although he was obviously talking to the cocoon, his eyes were on the house behind them.

"Who are you......"

Li Xiye took a step back, protecting Bai Cocoon and Ouyang Heartmare behind him. But the man's attention was not on them at all, and he kept staring at the house, as if he was concerned about what was on it.

There should be only one Li Wanqing and one monster in that house, and I don't know which of these two can make this man devote all his attention, or both?

"You just said Phoenix? Is there going to be a phoenix in that? ”

When the white cocoon said this, the man's attention finally shifted slightly, and his neck turned to look at the white cocoon.

"So, aren't you the three people who were out there before? No, I haven't seen this man......"

"Don't get away from the topic, what kind of phoenix are you talking about, what is going to be born in it?"

Li Xiye subconsciously thought that the phoenix that this man was talking about was the monster that appeared in it just now, which means that the monster is not yet in a formed state, and it will grow further and become more powerful in the future.

"Hehe, don't you understand, what is about to be born in there is a phoenix!"

The man grinned, then stretched out his rough hand from under his cloak, pointed behind the three men, and said in a loud and excited voice:

"That's the phoenix egg!"

"Are you kidding? There's nothing in there except for a monster with half a face, so do you want to say it's a phoenix? ”

Li Xiye's expression was a little disdainful, if that kind of thing was a phoenix, then his entire outlook on life would be completely ruined. If the phoenix is the kind of creature that looks so disgusting and so evil, then what is that glossy thing that people want to be?

"How is it possible, how can the phoenix be comparable to the existence at the bottom of the end? It was just the last meal of the Phoenix, and as long as you eat it, the Phoenix is really a Phoenix! ”

With that, the man ignored the cocoons and walked straight up the steps. And when he crossed the spell laid by Li Xiye before, he stepped on it directly, tearing it apart.

Li Xiye looked at this scene, and immediately gasped, this guy's strength can be seen from this alone, it is absolutely unfathomable. His self-confidence was suddenly trampled on by this kick, and he even felt that he dared to talk to this person in that tone just now, and he simply didn't know where he got the courage to do so.

"Hurry up and ......"

White Cocoon wanted to say that he should leave here quickly, but when he turned around, he saw that the small village before had now been swallowed up by a black shadow that had attacked from afar, leaving only the place they had just come to that was not a residential area at all.

After being reminded by the white cocoon like this, Li Xiye remembered what he should do now, and quickly took out the ten rune papers that he had prepared before, and arranged them in order.

He didn't forget to look at the man, and found that he didn't care about the situation at all except for slowly going up, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to recite the incantation.

But he had barely finished reciting the incantation when the rune paper was blown away by the wind and then burned in mid-air.

"Didn't you say that you were invited to stay and have a look?"

Raising his head, Li Xieye attracted the gaze of the man in the distance. Although the distance between the two of them was so far away that he couldn't see his eyes clearly, Li Xiye just felt tightness in his chest.

The white cocoon gritted his teeth, now they are trapped here and can't get out, let alone go to find reinforcements, it's hard to say if they can even be safe here. The phoenix in that man's mouth must be some very powerful thing, where is there still room for them to survive when it really comes out......

"What now?"

Ouyang Xinxiao sat directly on the ground, she was about to give up, although Li Xiye's self-confidence was frustrated, she still maintained a very rational state, and after looking around, she made a decision:

"Let's go inside the house and take shelter for a while, and we can't stay outside anyway."

The black cloud behind was still invading this side, although he didn't know what was going on inside the house, but it was definitely not the best idea to stay outside, and he had seen that there were still a few doors in the circular building before, but there was no corresponding passage next to it, so he guessed that these houses might be connected to the circular building.

If there is chaos when the phoenix is born later, if they are lucky enough, they may be able to take advantage of the chaos to rescue Li Wanqing, and even hinder the appearance of the phoenix, of course, this is based on the fact that Li Wanqing was still alive at that time.

Bai Cocoon nodded, Ouyang had no idea anyway, so he followed them into a large house on the right-hand side.

As a result, when they opened the door and saw the scene inside, all three of them were startled. It wasn't a room at all, there was only one passage when you walked through the door, and on either side were barred prisons with weeds and corpses and the like.

"This is a prison? Who are these people? ”

Li Xiye didn't know how to answer the question of the white cocoon, it just so happened that the corpse in the front cell was relatively complete, and the one on the body was not very badly damaged, they immediately identified it, this corpse should have only come here in recent years.

"It's possible that all the people who strayed into Jufeng Village in the past few years have been caught here, and they are used for some inhuman purposes......

Li Xiye deliberately used an uncertain statement, and only after saying it did he smile self-deprecatingly, this is something that has been determined at all, these people were either made into resentful spirits when they were caught, or they were used as food for the phoenix. The man just said that the monster was the last food before, and there must have been a lot of food eaten before that.

The three of them walked all the way down the corridor of the prison to the depths, and then they saw a downhill road, and then an uphill road and a detour, and this direction should lead to the circular building.

When they reached the end, they came to a room. This is a proper room, not a prison. Inside the room is a small circular table with a small cone in the center.

The three of them approached curiously, and saw that the cone was engraved with dense words. Li Xiye seemed to know these words, and after blinking his eyes, he began to read them silently.

Bai Cocoon was feeling at a loss, so he stood next to him, but Zhu Wan'er's voice suddenly came:

"Great, it's finally connected again."

"Huh! What was going on before? ”

The white cocoon was so excited, Zhu Wan'er was simply his lifesaver, and it was only under her reminder that they came out of that house in time to survive the catastrophe.

"I can't go into detail now, you can find a way to come to the consciousness space right away, there is a guy who wants to talk to you."

"Huh?"

The white cocoon was stunned for a moment, and then became extremely excited. Someone in the space of consciousness wanted to talk to him, and he immediately thought of the person who was exactly like Lite.
