Chapter 402: Phantom Forest

Seeing Mosa walking forward, Su Qiubai didn't follow, he was still hesitating to go in.

Seeing Su Qiubai standing still, Mosa turned around and said, "Do you have a better way?" ”

Seeing that Su Qiubai frowned and didn't speak, Mosa continued: "No matter why this forest suddenly appeared, it seems that we have no other way but to crack it, we have already arrived here, and it is too late to turn back." ”

Su Qiubai didn't say anything more when he heard this, but walked forward silently.

Soon after the three of them entered the forest, the sunlight above them became thinner and thinner, and only sporadic light shone on the ground through the lush trees, barely illuminating the path.

Su Qiubai noticed that many of the trees and flowers around him were of species that he had never seen before, and most of them were very tall, like prehistoric primeval forests.

Mossa walked for a while, suddenly stopped, reached out and picked a bunch of blades of grass, and said, "How can the blue-leaved fern, a species that has been extinct for thousands of years, still appear here?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the freshly picked blades of grass in his hand quickly withered and turned black, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into black powder and disappeared into his hands.

In this way, not only Mosa, but even Su Qiubai was stunned.

The situation in front of me was a little unusual, how could the freshly plucked blades of grass wither so quickly, or even turn to ashes? And according to Mosa, it was a long-extinct plant that should never have been reappeared.

The three of them looked at each other for a while, but they couldn't think of a reason, so they had to continue walking.

Su Qiubai had an idea in his heart, but he didn't say it. He had experienced many illusions before, and the only reason for the phenomenon was that the forest was not real, but only an illusion created in some way.

The three of them had been walking in the forest for two hours, and the scenery around them remained unchanged, still an endless dense jungle.

"It seems that this is really not an ordinary forest, we are trapped in a maze." Mossa paused and said.

Su Qiubai had been paying attention to the surrounding environment before, trying to find out the clues of the Qimen formation, but he didn't find anything. If it wasn't a Qimen formation that he had never seen before, then the only explanation was that it wasn't a Qimen formation at all, but something else.

"Didn't you say that this maze has to be cracked from the inside, so do you have an idea now?" Su Qiubai said with a little sarcasm.

Mossa glanced at him and said, "There will be." ”

The three of them were hesitating, Su Qiubai suddenly heard a strange sound in the grass behind him, he immediately realized the danger with a keen mind, and directly pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword and turned around to block it, and then saw a giant python the thickness of a bucket in the grass jumped out and hit the blade of the Xuanyuan Sword, and the giant python that should have been split in half disappeared in an instant. Before Su Qiubai could calm down, he felt a strange movement beside him, and the giant python pounced on him in a different direction.

Su Qiubai swung his sword again to slash, and clearly saw that the Xuanyuan sword had already slashed at the giant python, but there was no feeling of slashing something in his hand, and at the same time, the giant python disappeared again.

What is this? A trace of doubt flashed in Su Qiubai's heart. The giant python didn't seem to be an entity, so it wasn't afraid of the attack of the Xuanyuan Sword. But in this case, how should he deal with this giant python?

Before he had time to think about it, the python kept appearing from all directions and attacking him.

Soon, Su Qiubai discovered another strange thing, this giant python seemed to attack him alone, and turned a blind eye to both Mosa and Muhan!

Could it be that as he had guessed before, since the two of them were no threat to the treasure in the mountains, none of these mechanisms would do them any harm?

Thinking of this, Su Qiubai couldn't help but secretly complain, he was obviously forced to come, but he became Mosa's shield, and he suddenly felt unhappy.

And as soon as he was distracted, the python suddenly found a gap, opened its mouth and bit it towards his shoulder.

Su Qiubai was about to dodge, but suddenly felt a chill on his shoulder, and then out of the corner of his eye, he saw that a black hole-like thing appeared on his shoulder, and the giant python directly crashed into it, and there was no trace of it.

What's that? Su Qiubai thought with a frown. It seems that he doesn't know Mosa well enough, and what he is good at is more than just the ability to control people's hearts.

Seeing Su Qiubai's puzzled look, Mosa said, "I saved your life." ”

Su Qiubai didn't appreciate it: "I'm not going to be hurt by that blow yet." ”

Mossa naturally knew, so he smiled and continued: "That python is not a physical object, but is made of a strange force. ”

Su Qiubai understood that what he was talking about was probably what he meant by spiritual power, but because there was no such thing in foreign countries, he could only refer to it as "strange power".

At this time, Su Qiubai was even more sure of his previous guess, and said: "This entire forest is not an entity, I guess it is likely to be an illusion of a forest thousands of years ago. ”

Mossa thought about it carefully, and in this way, the strange scene before could be explained.

"If it's just an illusion, then we can walk forward with our eyes closed, will we be able to get out?" Mossa asked.

Su Qiubai shook his head, "It's not that simple, it's not just our eyes that are confused by the illusion, it can be said that the senses of the whole body have been affected by it, if we don't crack this illusion, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out." ”

Su Qiubai didn't have to hide anything from Mosa, after all, he himself was trapped in the illusion at this time, and if he couldn't get out, it would not be good for him.

Mossa nodded, there were many similar mazes of illusions in the spell system he knew. But the illusory forest in front of him wasn't anything he knew, and it seemed far more complicated than he knew.

"What spell did you just use? Seems to have a devouring effect on the things in this illusion? Su Qiubai asked.

Mossa looked at him hesitantly for a moment before saying, "It's a magic that can devour what enters it and transform it into my energy." ”

Su Qiubai was a little surprised, there was still such a spell?

Mossa guessed what he was thinking, so he said directly: "Don't think about it, it's not some kind of advanced magic, it can't swallow such a large forest." ”

Su Qiubai thought about it, if he really had the power to devour all things, what would he do when he came to this bloody eye glass?

When the three of them were at a loss, Muhan suddenly showed a surprised expression on his face, and then raised his hand and gestured, signaling the two to look in the direction he was pointing.

Su Qiubai looked back and saw that in the dense forest not far away, there seemed to be a figure flashing.

Mossa frowned at first glance, since this forest was a huge illusion, the people who appeared here must not be real.

The three of them cautiously touched in the direction of the figure, not forgetting to cover their figures with trees.

As he got closer, Su Qiubai saw that those were some ancient people who were dressed very primitively, and their faces were painted with strange symbols, which were somewhat similar to the characters on the stone tablets he saw when he entered the mountain.

It seems that these are indeed the illusions of the ancients thousands of years ago, but judging from the giant python before, these illusions can also attack people, so they don't dare to act rashly, just quietly stare at those people walking in front of them.

The group was a bit like a funeral procession, with eight people in the middle carrying a stretcher covered with flowers, and on the stretcher lay a corpse. The corpse was dressed in armor made of animal bones and gold, and although it looked a little sour from today's eyes, it must have been a very luxurious attire at that time.

Su Qiubai guessed that this must be the leader of a tribe thousands of years ago, and looking at this formation, he was very likely to be buried in this Qiyun Mountain Range.

Could it be that the place where Mossa is going is the mausoleum of this man?

Su Qiubai was staring at the corpse, but suddenly saw the corpse's blue-gray face move, and turned his face towards him! And his originally closed eyes also opened at this moment, staring at Su Qiubai gloomily, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes.

Su Qiubai was taken aback by this strange scene, and he couldn't help but feel furious in his heart, who was not afraid of ghosts. After all, it was a dead man thousands of years ago, and it was just an illusion! Could it be that it sensed that it was heading towards his mausoleum, and that was why it took the opportunity to give him a warning?

Su Qiubai sat down against a tall tree, not daring to look at the corpse again.

Mosa also noticed these anomalies, and waited for the group of people to go far before he said to Su Qiubai: "Did you see it just now, the corpse moved?" ”

Su Qiubai thought to himself, why didn't he move? At this time, when he thought of the corpse's eyes, the ominous feeling in his heart became even stronger.

Until the sky darkened, the three of them hadn't thought of any countermeasures, and Su Qiubai had tried various methods to crack the illusion, but to no avail. It can be seen that although this forest was born of an illusion, the consciousness of the three of them was awake and did not fall into the illusion. This makes it even harder to crack, because they can only attack the forest, which seems to have no end in sight, and they don't know how to crack it.

After dark, the whole forest was more silent than the day, and in the darkness of the night, there was not even a trace of wind in the forest, and the three of them even thought that time had stood still.

"Have you noticed that there is no trace of any creature in this forest other than the python that appeared at the beginning?" Su Qiubai said.

Mossa nodded, "It's not hard to spot. But the forest is just an illusion, and it's not surprising that there are no other creatures. ”

Su Qiubai didn't say anything more, but such a dead and silent forest always made him feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while.
