The moon was only a semicircle, not very bright, and the red mist had obscured most of the moonlight. There was no life on the high platform, Xu Ning and Yan Bing took out the dry food they brought out from the town, and after eating some hastily, they began to listen to the old ghost's narration.

The old ghost may really be a ghost, Xu Ning also let him go with him when he ate and drank, but he refused. At the same time, Xu Ning didn't find any pots and pans on the high platform, could it be that this guy didn't have to eat at all?

Forget it, since he can live here for that long, it means that there are a lot of secrets. When the two parties are not very familiar with each other, it is very rude to rush into other people's secrets.

"The red humanoid mist you see can be called soul slaves, and they are all driven by the power of the spirit jade gem. There are some very powerful warlocks among them, and unfortunately, they were like this hundreds or even thousands of years ago. The old ghost sighed.

"Were you a living member of this city before?" Xu Ning asked suddenly.

"Sort of, I'm just an abandoned monster, because the tribe was attacked by other races during its migration, and I fled in at a very young age. But—" The old ghost raised his head and said coldly, "It is better to die out there than to be trapped in this place for the rest of your life!" ”

"You don't mind if I ask, what kind of monster are you?!" Xu Ning smiled slightly and said, "I also have some demon beast blood. ”

"I've sensed this a long time ago, it should be the descendant of the white fox demon beast!"

"You're amazing. You can see it. ”

"For you, I've lived too long, and for our demon beast race, I'm still a very young being, can you guess what kind of demon beast race I am now?"

Xu Ning squinted his eyes and looked around, and said confidently: "Spirit turtle!" ”

The old ghost smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's very smart!" The Xu family in Qingfeng City actually produced a character like you, it's really not simple! However, I have never been to the Dongzhou Empire, let alone Qingfeng City, and it seems that the evolution speed of human beings has exceeded that of 10,000 years ago. ”

"Were humans stupid before?"

"There's no denying it. Yes. Otherwise, how could they be helpless against the attacks of demon beasts and other races for a long time, and almost extinct them?! ”

"Hmph, then you know what the reason should be!" Xu Ning said coldly.

Looking at Xu Ning's disdainful gaze, the spirit turtle old ghost was a little puzzled.

"I know for this reason. It can't be said. Do you understand? ”

Xu Ning laughed. said: "Then we know it!" The longer you live, the smarter you become, and there is truth to this saying. But the longer you live. The less bloody life is, that's also a true saying! ”

The old ghost didn't speak directly, but said in a very low voice: "If the original warlocks could calmly accept their fate, the current tragedy should not have happened." Xu Ning, your body is full of too many rebellious things, this is not good! ”

"Tell me, what's wrong?" Xu Ning smiled.

The old ghost pondered for a while before he said, "The fall of Fancheng began after the arrival of the last elven messenger, and that elven messenger sent not a letter, but a speck of dust!" At least it was a speck of dust, and no one thought of him as a gem at the time, or even that the elves were playing tricks on the warlocks. But when this mote appeared next to him, everyone was stunned, and from then on, the story around this mote unfolded. ”

"The disappearance of the warlocks was only revealed three hundred years after that event, and under our feet, it was the location of the city lord's chamber of the city at that time, and the first group of human mounds were hidden inside, and they originally used their own power to worship this particle, and after absorbing the energy, the particle gradually became larger, and then the appetite increased! Gradually, the dedication of resources turned into a forced sacrifice! Every year, some warlocks who are not very strong are selected as mounds to worship, and later, in order to prevent the warlocks from escaping, the city lord of Van City actually uses a special enchantment, which can only come in, but can't get out! ”

Speaking of this, the old ghost looked up at Xu Ning and Yan Bing, saw that the two of them were very surprised on their faces, and said with a smile: "Of course, you can rest assured, because this time has passed." After the number of mounds exceeds 100,000, the barrier will automatically disappear. ”

"Whew!" Xu Ning let out a long breath and said in his heart, can't you finish it in one breath?!

"And then?"

"And then it became what it is now!" The old ghost said bitterly, "I must break that jade gem and release all the imprisoned souls!" ”

"In that case, why don't you do it?"

"Because the spirit jade gem was transferred to the soul altar, my strength alone can't open that door at all!"

"I see! If we don't show up, will you keep waiting? Xu Ning asked a little surprised.

"It's natural, I've spent a lifetime waiting, all my beliefs are in this matter, if I don't stick to the end, then what's the point?"

Xu Ning stood up and said with a solemn face: "I can help you, but the premise is that what I need must be available!" ”

"Except for the Spirit Jade Gem!"

"It's useless for me to ask for something, you can rest assured." Xu Ning said, "Except for this, what else I take has nothing to do with you." ”

"Naturally, no problem." The old ghost smiled and said, "The wealth in there is enough for you to live a lifetime." ”

Xu Ning also smiled and said, "If I was for wealth, there was no need to come here at all!" ”

There was no word all night, each with his own thoughts, and in fact no one fell asleep.

The red mist floated in the sky above Fancheng all night, although there was no sound, but the terrifying form that seemed to be like nothing was unbearable, so when a ray of sunlight appeared in the sky, Xu Ning and Yan Bing woke up.

At night. I really don't want to open my eyes.

The soul slave seemed to be afraid of the sun, and the whole city became much quieter, although in fact there was no sound all the time.

"Where's the Soul Altar? I don't want to waste time. ”

Xu Ning looked at the rows of mounds below, and said in a calm voice.

"Come with me!"

The old ghost slowly opened his eyes, and slowly moved his body away from the stool, seeing that his movements really looked like a turtle that had been a thousand years. Each demon beast has its own nature, and no matter how powerful it becomes, it is impossible to completely change it.

had been together under the same eaves for a night, and seeing the old ghost's face, Xu Ning and Yan Bing were still very uncomfortable.

Especially early in the morning. His face was black and wrinkled like dead tree bark. If you don't move, you can't tell he's a living person.

"It's cold outside, be prepared!"

The old ghost smiled strangely and adjusted his direction. "Whoosh" flew out of the high platform!

"Whoosh!"

Xu Ning and Yan Bing also followed him closely. Flew out of the barrier. Then a chilling chill rushed over me! The body was stimulated by such a cold that I forgot to shiver!

"A soul slave can absorb a qiē power, even the temperature of the sun is no exception. The temperature outside last night was about the same as in the ice cellar, and it won't warm up until about noon! The old ghost said as he flew forward.

Xu Ning scolded in his heart, why didn't you say it earlier!

There is a strong Gang Qi energy running in his body, so that Yan Bing can get closer to him, so that he can resist some of the cold.

"Whew!"

Three currents of air fell at the same time in a ruined courtyard, in front of which was a majestic hexagonal palace, and the bricks on the ground, though broken, were indeed made of three different colors, black, yellow, and red, and from above looked like the back of a seven-star ladybug.

"This is the Altar of Souls, and it's been almost twenty years since I last visited." The old ghost said with a slight smile.

"Is the jade gem you said inside?" Xu Ning asked with a sigh of relief.

"All the wealth of Fancheng is in it, Xu Ning, you'd better be ready now, because the first wave of attacks is coming." The old ghost said coldly.

"First wave of attacks?!"

"As soon as a person enters this courtyard, the first mechanism will be opened!"

Yan Bing suddenly pulled Xu Ning's arm and said, "Brother Xu Ning, look at your feet!" ”

Xu Ning looked down and saw that the three colored bricks on the ground seemed to be trembling, and the most vibrating of them was red.

"The three-color killing array, this was built by the mechanics in Fancheng back then! Xu Ning, it's all up to you. The old ghost said, and retreated to the middle of Xu Ning and Yan Bing!

"What do you mean? Want the two of us to protect you? ”

"Hmph, if my body could change direction freely, it would have rushed into the soul altar a long time ago, otherwise would it still be blocked out for so many years?!" The old ghost snorted coldly and said.

No wonder you want to cooperate with us! Xu Ning suddenly felt a burst of contempt in his heart!

However, there was no time to hesitate, and suddenly the red bricks around them were all suspended from the ground into the air like small beasts bouncing up!

Xu Ning pulled Yan Bing in one hand and the old ghost's wide black robe in the other, quickly dodging the red bricks!

After all the red bricks are raised, I can't help but want to scold the street when I look up, what bullshit bricks! On the surface, it is true, but when it is raised, it is indeed a positive magnet!

"Whoa!"

As the red positive magnet quickly combined in the air, the black magnet on the ground actually made corresponding movements, Xu Ning and Yan Bing were caught off guard and were almost swept in!

"Uncle's old ghost, why didn't you remind us!" Xu Ning scolded.

"Don't blame me, I've never seen anything like this! Every time I see a red magnet rise into the air, I have to get out of here! The old ghost grabbed Xu Ning's shoulder with one hand and was taken to levitate in midair.

"Brother Xu Ning, this is a special mechanism formation, the red and black magnets just form a special space, and the one that really attacks us is probably the yellow bricks below!"

"It doesn't matter what color it's a brick!" Xu Ning gritted his teeth and said.

"Whoa, whoa!" The yellow bricks squirmed one after another, like monsters slowly raising their heads.

"Bang bang! Bang bang! ”

When the yellow surface recedes, the inside of the bricks reveals a sharp edge!

It turns out that the bricks are stacked layer by layer with sharp flying knives! (To be continued......)
