A crescent moon stretched out from the swarthy mountain peak like a sharp scimitar, cutting through the black curtain.

The night of Juling Peak is quiet and empty. Xu Ning lurked alone in the shadows of the night, this winding mountain path leading to the back mountain. The wind whistled and rustled with leaves, like the whispers of ghosts.

A cold chill surged into Xu Ning's heart, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. After all, this investigation was completely different from the last time he went to the Wild Ancient City, and he was always entangled in his heart, did he not believe Chen Jin in doing this, and was he sorry for his trust in himself?

Looking at the surrounding trees, Xu Ning's heart became more and more empty, they seemed to be full of eyes staring at him motionlessly, staring at him directly. There were dead leaves blown down by the wind, flying everywhere, which made his heart feel numb.

When he sneaked into the edge of the cliff of the chain bridge, Xu Ning stopped in the small pavilion for a long time, and he hesitated and was uneasy. couldn't help but think of what Yan Bing said to him at dusk, she categorically opposed Xu Ning sneaking into the back mountain to find out if Chen Jin had secretly come into contact with that terrifying demon soldier now. Her reason was because she was worried that Xu Ning would offend Chen Jin and hurt the feelings of her brothers.

Xu Ning's heart was also completely bottomless, although after the two talked that day, he vaguely felt that Chen Jin seemed to have been touched by someone who had touched the most secret thing hidden in his heart, otherwise how could his reaction be so fierce and strange when it came to the Thunderbolt Scepter?

But that's just speculation.

So why did Xu Ning take such a big risk to do this? It was because he had an excellent affection for Chen Jin, and they shared the task of guarding the town magic array. Another point is that, at least for now, Chen Jin does not have any appearance of going mad and losing his mind as before, that is to say, if he has been confused by the scepter, Xu Ning can still help him rein in the precipice now.

Therefore, after Xu Ning rushed back from Zhupingzhai overnight, instead of being relieved by Yan Bing's enlightenment, he was now more and more confused. After much hesitation, he finally made a decision and decided to break into the mountain behind the Spirit Peak again tonight!

As long as you go so many thousand steps further, you will arrive at the palace where Chen Jin rests, Xu Ning looked up at the moon, the moon shadow was blurred, and now it was midnight, and it could no longer be consumed.

He got up and drifted forward on the chains, and the moonlight fell like a bird flying over a deep ravine.

When you reach the opposite side, you can see a corner of the main hall peeking out from between the rocks, and the bright moonlight casts a luster on the red glazed tiles.

Xu Ning found a hiding place between the nearby rocks, and kept his breath silent, trying not to reveal any breath.

Bright stars hung high above the black curtain, moonlight flowed through the trees, and strange rocks lurked among the trees like giant beasts, silent.

I don't know how long it took, a "squeak" sound floated out, entered Xu Ning's ears and fell to his heart, and his heart was beating wildly. Although he is not very old, he has never seen a bloody and sinister scene? None of them can withstand the tension of tonight.

The door of the temple was opened, and a thin white figure flashed out, Chen Jin stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, the mountain wind blowing his long hair, and the bright moonlight spilling down his face.

Xu Ning pursed his lips tightly, and said silently: "Senior Brother Chen, don't leave here, go back to the house to rest." ”

He was afraid that if Chen Jin moved, he would go to find that terrible thing, if it was bound to be thrilling.

Chen Jin stood in the moonlight for a long time, his face expressionless, his eyes like two stagnant waters, cold and dark.

He seemed to be waiting for something.

I don't know where a black mist came out, circling around in the small courtyard, Chen Jin's figure moved, turned around but did not return to the hall but walked to the other side.

Xu Ning, who was hiding far behind the rocks, was puzzled, his brows were tightened, and he followed in the direction that Chen Jin was walking.

He recognized the strange aura emanating from Chen Jin's body, and felt that he should not be awake, but a sign that only people in their sleep had, so strange.

Chen Jin didn't walk fast, and it could even be said that he was very slow, like a lonely ghost moving forward in a daze.

The road winds and turns, hidden among the long grass, and from time to time leads to the dimly lit caves of Guò, until it reaches a large dilapidated house, and Chen Jin stops.

Most of this big house has already collapsed, and in the four corners of the house, there are four black stone pillars standing crookedly.

Xu Ning looked at it from a distance, and felt more and more that something was wrong, and said in his heart: "How could Senior Brother Chen come to such a dilapidated and desolate place? It must have been abandoned and uninhabited for a long time, so why did he fall here? ”

I saw that Chen Jin didn't care about it, walked straight to the front of the room, stepped in, and the whole person was engulfed in darkness.

This place is desolate, with broken walls, broken walls, broken beams, and slanted pillars, and there is the cry of the wind, which is extremely terrifying, could it be that the soul of the King of Doom and the scepter of thunderbolt are hidden here?

As soon as Xu Ning thought of this, he stopped thinking nonsense, turned into a white shadow and flew outside the broken house. But he felt that the wind was gusting here, immersed in the bone marrow, and an indescribable sense of fear instantly surrounded him.

He crept close to the broken window and peered inside. The inside of the house was even darker, with dust and insect nets everywhere, and the walls were mottled and yellowed.

The moonlight pouring in from the broken hole in the roof cast a strange and terrifying veil of mystery over the entire dim and miserable space, and Xu Ning used his spiritual power to see the essence in his eyes, and he could see everything inside.

I saw a coffin in a corner of the house!

Chen Jin slowly walked towards the coffin, and opened the coffin with runes, he looked inside the coffin, and a smile clearly appeared on the corner of his mouth!

Xu Ning's scalp was numb when he looked outside, and he was terrified. He couldn't think of anything anymore, just stared at what was happening inside with wide eyes.

It wasn't until he saw Chen Jin take out a black weird scepter from the coffin that he came to his senses. It was as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he shivered, and he bit his lip tightly for fear that he would cry out, and his lip was bitten, and the salty blood made him regain his senses. The blurred vision also brightened again, and he continued to observe the incredible scene that happened inside:

I saw Chen Jin's mouth close and chant some strange spells towards the scepter in his hand, and after a while, the black scepter began to slowly emit a faint light.

Chen Jin continued to chant incantations, his face was still expressionless, and under the light of the scepter, there was not a trace of blood on his pale face.

The white light emitted by the scepter became more and more intense, and the night was suddenly dispelled, and the white light of the huge room was suddenly overflowing.

Chen Jin's face darkened, becoming darker and darker, but his eyes were flashing with white light, and the originally black and deep pupils had already turned into a strange white.

What's even more terrifying is that when he got to the back, the moon-white robe on Chen Jin's body swelled and trembled. Cyan earthworm-like blood vessels burst out from the exposed skin, covering the whole body, and the body and face began to twist and deform......

He kept letting out a low roar, not knowing if it was because of pain or because he wanted to eat!

Xu Ning couldn't bear to look at it anymore, don't turn his face. At this time, there was no fear in his heart, all of them were pain, heartbreaking. He didn't have time to figure out what to do next, let alone stop what was happening in front of him.

He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sneaked back along the way he came, and Chen Jin's low howl was faintly heard behind him, which directly penetrated Xu Ning's heart and shattered his heart into powder.

Xu Ning ran all the way to the back, and did not stop until he reached Yuxiantai.

He was out of breath, bent over the rock wall and retched, not throwing anything out, just sweating profusely and sweating and tears on his face.

Fortunately, the cool breeze on the Yuxian Terrace, and the breath of the fairy fruit can soothe people's hearts, Xu Ning slowly calmed himself down, sat on the cold stone face, and began to think.

The night stars in the sky are shining, the crescent moon is hanging high, and the thin clouds and mist float on it like transparent light gauze clouds, indescribably quiet and peaceful.

But what Xu Ning saw tonight was really unbearable for him, if he said that before seeing the sensational scene in the broken house, his heart was more apprehensive and afraid, and now, when he saw the truth clearly, his heart was completely cold and painful.

Because of the terrible consequences of this matter, it made him feel cold in his heart, and the pain was because he had always regarded Chen Jin as a close friend.

Friendship and family affection are the most precious things for Xu Ning, he has suffered cold eyes since he was a child, and he has experienced the most cruel suffering in the world, and he understands that this kind of relationship is precious.

So now, what should he do? How to stop this qiē? How to save Chen Jin?

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Ning hugged his head and was dazed, his scalp was numb and trembling, and the emotions that had finally calmed down were chaotic again.

At this time, he remembered someone: Yan Bing.

When Yan Bing's face appeared in Xu Ning's mind, his heart suddenly brightened, as if the bright moonlight could directly shine into his heart, opening a window for his dark heart.

"Yes, I'll go to Bing'er now, and see if she can help me solve my confusion and find a way to save Senior Brother Chen."

Xu Ning looked up at the starry sky and exhaled a turbid breath.

The forest at night is much quieter than during the day, and everyone is asleep. The roar of the demon beast that came out of the forest by chance was also like the whisper of the earth, and to Xu Ning's ears, there was no threat.

The moonlight shone through the tall canopy, sparsely scattered and speckled in front of the eyes.

Xu Ning flew quickly, like a dark shadow passing through the forest. If he is in a hurry, he can reach Zhupingzhai in two hours, and he really can't wait to hurry now.

When he entered a sparsely wooded area, Xu Ning slowed down slightly.

There was a fishy smell in the air, and the surrounding rock walls were lined with strange rocks, like hideous monsters with their teeth and claws.

Before he knew it, he was on the edge of a pool of blood.

He suddenly remembered a terrible rumor!
