"What?!! how could this be!" Nangong Kui cried out in great distress.

Ye Yi raised his eyebrows, he couldn't bear the habit of yelling at Nangong Kui, pinched his fingers, and said angrily: "Tianlan, don't you mind having one less person before we go out!"

Nangong Kui trembled when he heard this, and immediately rushed behind the nearest Xiaotang, carefully probing his head, with a frightened expression.

Xiaotang said dissatisfiedly: "Ye Yi, don't make trouble, isn't it messy enough......?" How old are you both. ”

"It's as if you're much older than us......" Ye Yi knew that he couldn't catch Nangong Kui, so he had to complain in a low voice.

In this case, they don't seem to have much fear, or they are giggling, I don't know if they don't realize the seriousness of the situation, or they have blind confidence in Tianlan?

Tianlan coughed lightly, attracted everyone's attention, and said, "Okay, be serious." Nangong, tell us what you know, what kind of place is this?"

Nangong Kui walked out from behind Xiaotang and said with a wincing voice: "I heard my father say that this place seems to be called Xiaoyao Valley, and there is a small village in the depths of the valley, called Xiaoyao Village, which is a quiet village isolated from the world. But five years ago, the village was suddenly cut off from the outside world, and a black fog filled the valley, leaving everyone who entered the valley with no return. Because Xiaoyao Village has little contact with the outside world, no one cared at first. But lately, the black fog in the valley has become more and more condensed, and it looks like a gloomy ghost castle from a distance. The major forces wondered if the dark demon magic experiment was being carried out here, and sent waves of people to investigate, but to no avail, and no one returned. Finally, it's the turn of our mercenary group for this 'ghost castle mission'. ”

"Ghost castle, I don't see any castle?" Ye Yi said puzzled.

"Ahh

The white morning mist receded at a speed visible to the naked eye, replaced by a thick black fog drifting from the depths of the canyon. Looking at it intently, the black fog in the distance really condensed into a black fortress, and countless black fogs were flying out from under the fortress.

"Fortress...... Black Mist...... Be careful!Don't inhale these mist!" Tianlan seemed to think of something, reminded him, and waved his hand A gust of wind blew aside, driving the black mist aside. But this black fog is not known what it is made of, and it cannot be dispelled by the wind, so it can only be barely dispelled, and it will soon be filled again.

"What's going on?" Ye Yi asked. Everyone else also waited for Tianlan's answer with curious eyes.

Tianlan frowned and said: "If my guess is correct, this formation should be a famous formation that was once brilliant two hundred years ago - the Colorful Pagoda Fortress, it is a trapped formation, and those who fall into the formation will be confused by the Colorful Mist Tower in the center, inhale the colored mist, and their minds will be chaotic and kill each other." ”

"Colorful Tower?" Ye Yi glanced at the black fog castle and the dirty black fog around him, and pouted: "It's really not worthy of the name!"

Tianlan shook his head and said, "Of course, this is not the original Colorful Tower Base Formation. The original array was lost two hundred years ago, and this array should have been imitated, and the energy source used was not a colorful stone, but something with dark power, so it was like this. ”

"Sanity...... Cannibalism ......" Nangong Kuimo read Tianlan's words just now, his eyes inexplicably frightened.

Tianlan saw that he was not in the right state, and said with concern: "Nangong, what's wrong with you? By the way, I haven't asked you why you're wandering on the edge of this dangerous place." Is it reassuring that Head Nangong is alone?"

Nangong Kui lowered his head silently, as if he didn't dare to answer. Under the urging of everyone, after a long time, he said bitterly: "Father...... and the second uncle, with two hundred people, set off into Xiaoyao Valley early this morning, that is, here. I...... My father wanted to bring me here, but I ...... Don't dare to come in......" he said, and finally his voice became quieter and quieter, and his head was buried lower and lower.

Tianlan looked at him for a while when he heard this, not knowing what he was thinking. Ye Yi didn't feel anything, touched his chin, and said, "So, they are all in front?" There is strength in numbers. With that, he strode forward first.

Tianlan patted Nangong Kui on the shoulder and said softly: "Don't worry, they will be fine, and they won't blame you." ”

Nangong Kui looked up in surprise when he heard this, but found that Tianlan had already turned around and walked forward.

How did Brother Tianlan see through my thoughts? Nangong Kui thought quietly.

How could he know what I was worried about? He knew that I was not only worried about the safety of my father and second uncle, but also hated my own cowardice? It's just that even my father and second uncle couldn't understand my feelings, or rather, they never seriously understood my feelings......

Tianlan doesn't have the ability to read minds, but his mental power far exceeds that of ordinary people, his nerves are extremely sharp, his insight is amazing, and he can often notice things that ordinary people can't notice. In addition, his temperament is already more introverted, and he is used to putting himself in the other party's shoes, plus he is the same age as Nangong Kui, so his mind is naturally not difficult to guess.

The four of them walked all the way forward, and the more they walked in, the bigger the black fog became. At first, Tianlan could also use the wind control technique to drive away the black fog, but later, the black fog was too dense and there was nowhere to catch it, so he simply used a wind control technique to protect the four of them. Although this consumes a lot of aura, it is better than being confused by the black fog.

After walking for about a stick of incense, the black mist was still so thick. Not to mention the front, they couldn't even see clearly under their feet, and the direction couldn't be distinguished at all, so they could only follow Tianlan closely.

Ye Yi said with emotion: "If you suck in a little bit will cause confusion, then the head of Nangong is not ......."

Tianlan glanced at Nangong Kui, saw that the latter's face changed, and said: "The martial artist's body protection aura also has the effect of expelling these black mist, as long as you are careful, the black mist will not be too threatening in a short time." If you don't believe me, go out and try it now. ”

Ye Yi hurriedly waved his hand, his head shaking like a rattle: "No, no, I believe you are." ”

"Huh?"

"Childe, what's wrong?"

"It smells of blood...... Tianlan replied with a frown, his steps slowing.

"Ah——! what......" Nangong Kui just raised his head, didn't pay attention to his feet, tripped over something, and then couldn't help but scream.

"Hey, be careful...... Wait, this is ......" Ye Yi looked down. It turned out that Nangong Kui kicked nothing else, but a corpse.

Nangong Kui was almost stunned, and after a few seconds, he reacted, hurriedly crawled over, grabbed the corpse and shouted: "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao——!"

"Is it the Golden Lion?" Tianlan whispered, leaning down to probe his pulse, and after a moment, he shook his head regretfully. Apparently, the man had been out of breath for a while. There were multiple cuts on this corpse, and it must have been the result of a fierce fight.
