Chapter XVII: True and False

Early the next morning, two groups of people converged at the door of the auction house, the early morning air still had the fragrance of earth, but everyone was a little excited, this time the task was very arduous, these brothers I saw now, and I don't know how many will be left after the mission, and the unknown is the most frightening.

There are only about a hundred guards in the dark area, this is also what Qin Chuan means, he can trust the strength of the dark one, it shouldn't be a problem to escape if something happens, the other night elves don't know much about themselves, and they really don't worry about leading them to go on like this, this is the foundation of Qin Chuan, and they must not be lost, as for the hundred or so guards, although they also hope that they can come out alive together, but they are not sure that they will live, and when they reach the cemetery, everything can only be left to fate.

Chester brought two cronies, listening to the introduction, these two people have followed him for many years, and their feelings for them are like their own children, this time Chester also made a lot of determination to take them, Chester brought a lot more people than Qin Chuan, there were three or four hundred people.

So many people gathered together to go to the grave, and their hearts were much more secure.

After a little rectification, it's finally time to go.

According to the location indicated on the map, it was not very far, and it only took a day or two to get there.

Coincidentally, this area is very strange, it is daytime, but it is like night, the sky is very thick and dark, and the light on the ground is very dim and gray.

Qin Chuan and Chester discussed for a while, and decided to camp on the spot, anyway, the cemetery was already close at hand, and they were not in a hurry for this moment.

Everyone sat around and lit a bonfire, ate barbecue, and a few more active guards, came to a talent show, the atmosphere was not cheerful, Qin Chuan liked this feeling very much, so he had a sense of belonging, everyone drank some wine, Qin Chuan drunk and sang and danced together, and had a good time.

After a long time of playing in the camp, everyone gradually sobered up, remembering the importance of the task, so the large army began to march.

It was still a forest, surrounded by dead wood, the fog was very thick, everything around looked hazy, although it was daytime, the light was very dim, and from time to time there were a few crows crying, it was like a dead place.

The army wandered around the forest, looking for the entrance to the ancient tomb, and after searching for a long time, they found an ancient building, which looked very dilapidated, and the most coincidental thing was that the entrance to the tomb was near the ancient building.

Chester and Qin Chuan immediately decided to use this ancient building as a new stronghold, and everyone entered the ancient building, something strange happened, they lit not torches, but red lanterns, although they felt strange, but Qin Chuan couldn't say anything wrong, so he went.

On the dilapidated ancient building, there are countless red lanterns, the range illuminated by the lanterns is not large, and the surroundings are still foggy, but fortunately, there are still some lights.

Chester and Qin Chuan decided to leave some people to guard the ancient building, and the rest of the people went down to the tomb with the two to find out, which could be regarded as leaving a way out.

A small number of people stayed in the ancient building, Chester took his two cronies, Qin Chuan also took the dark one, and walked to the tomb together, before leaving, Qin Chuan also looked back at the lanterns hanging on the ancient building strangely.

The atmosphere was a bit eerie, but fortunately there were a lot of people, so the fear in people's hearts was not so strong.

Entering the tomb, it was a little strange, but I couldn't tell what was wrong, the surroundings seemed to come to an underground world, with rows of stalactites hanging above, the cave continued downward, and the large army kept going down.

Qin Chuan always felt a little strange, as if there was something around him, following him, but it seemed that there was nothing, maybe Qin Chuan didn't find it at this time, everything weird seemed to be so logical.

The army marched for a long time, and finally found an altar in front of them, and there were many ravines on the altar, outlining a huge charm, and the ravines were full of blood-red liquid, which was a bit like blood.

Qin Chuan and the others came to the altar, and the disappearance occurred in an instant.

The people around him were like crazy, their eyes were red, they let out a beast-like howl, they killed people when they saw them, and even several of them directly turned into monsters, and without the slightest hesitation in front of their brothers, they rushed up and cut them with knives, bit them with their mouths, and tore off pieces of flesh and blood.

Qin Chuan and Chester glanced at each other, and in desperation, they could only order to kill, there were too many people who had become monsters, and all the guards were red-eyed, these were all their brothers and friends, they were drinking and eating meat together yesterday, and today they had to kill them with their own hands.

Although they didn't want to believe that all this was true, when more and more people were torn apart and eaten, they also had to believe that Qin Chuan Dark One, Chester and two other cronies also joined the fight, and they also killed red eyes, as if they had gone mad, and the more they killed, the more crazy they became.

The battle lasted for a long time, and they kept killing and cutting off one monster after another, and finally killed all the monsters, but the mutation reappeared.

The monsters that were slashed and slain disappeared into the air like dust blown away by the wind.

Hallucination!

The process of fighting for so long by myself turned out to be all hallucinations!

Everyone understood at once, these monsters have never appeared, but the most terrifying thing is not this, a count of the number of people, but found that the number of people has indeed decreased by most of the part, which means that when they came to the altar, they had only a small number of people left, and the rest of the people were long gone, as for when they fell into the illusion, I don't know.

Thinking of this, including Qin Chuan himself, he felt creepy, as soon as he entered the cave, he lost more than half of the people, how to go on, and gradually retreated in his heart.

Chester did the same, and after some discussion, the two decided to return to the camp and make another plan.

But when the two were discussing, they suddenly found that there was something abnormal around them, many people were distracted, and their behavior was a little wooden, although they were still like normal people, but they always felt a little weird, but they couldn't say where the weirdness was.

Chester and Qin Chuan also understood, but they were afraid that they were still in the illusion at the moment, and many people had died, but they still stayed by their side like normal people.

I'm afraid that as soon as they walk out of this tomb, they will dissipate into the air.

That is to say, at this moment, a large part of the people around them are the living dead, Qin Chuan and Chester distinguished, and found that these people all have a pattern mark on their bodies, and there is a situation where their eyes are dilated, but neither of them said it, such an ending is undoubtedly heavy, and they can't say it.

The two of them ordered at the same time to withdraw to the ground, although there are some nests, but if they stay here, they are afraid that there will be few people who will get out alive.

The rest of the people were only a third of the way they had entered, and the atmosphere was a little heavy, and everyone didn't speak, but they knew to go back the way they came.

Suddenly, Qin Chuan paused, looking at the dark one walking in front of him, which made him a little unacceptable, the dark one was the most trusted subordinate to him, how could he not be his good friend? Looking at the blue pattern on the back of the dark one's neck, Qin Chuan's eyes were cracking, he couldn't accept this result, and almost yelled.

At this time, a hand stretched out behind him and grabbed Qin Chuan, the person who came was Chester, Chester patted Qin Chuan's shoulder, sighed and shook his head, signaling him not to act rashly.

Qin Chuan also knew that it was a question of whether they could withdraw at this moment, and now they couldn't withstand other tribulations, it would be better to say if it was a head-to-head duel, but they hadn't even seen an enemy, and they had already lost most of their men and horses, and now the dark one was like this, how could he accept it.

The remaining dozens of living people never encountered anything along the way, and they walked out of the tomb smoothly.

Sure enough, after leaving the cave, including the dark one, all those who had marks disappeared, and it was indeed a hallucination.

Qin Chuan didn't know what to say now, maybe it was the best choice not to say a word, maybe it was to leave here as soon as possible.

This is also the idea of a group of people, hundreds of people go down and only a few dozen people are left, maybe it is safe to return to the camp now.

Rushing back to the camp and looking at the lanterns hanging on the ancient building, everyone breathed a sigh of relief as if they had found the backbone of the Lord.

But at this moment, Chester's two cronies suddenly pulled out their weapons and slashed towards Chester, and the people around them also pulled out their weapons and attacked Qin Chuan and Chester like crazy.

The two fought for a while, and everyone turned into ashes and dissipated into the air, leaving only Qin Chuan and Chester, still hallucinators!

Why do hallucinations come out!

As if he was missing something, he looked at Chester and found that he was still wrenched in the grief of losing both.

What the hell did you miss!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to my mind, lantern!

That's right, this is the Western world, where did this oriental red lantern come from!

Sure enough, Qin Chuan's gaze looked at the camp again, where were there still lanterns, and where were there still figures.

Qin Chuan laughed self-deprecatingly, "Hehe, it turns out that this is also an illusion, how can I arrange people to stay in the camp."

With a sigh, Qin Chuan and Chester finally remembered that they hadn't set up camp here at all, and they hadn't stayed here at all.

After they saw the ancient building, they took everyone directly to the tomb, and this ancient building was just passing by.

It's all fake, and from the moment I saw Gu Lou, I fell into passivity every step of the way.

True and false, false and false, you think you are sober, but in fact it is just an illusion telling you that you are sober.

The two of them walked back in a bit of a daze, hundreds of people went down, and only two of them came back alive.

When the two of them came to the forest, it was still so dark.

But there was a person in front of them who surprised them.

Dark One!

Qin Chuan immediately ran over excitedly.

"Dark One, why are you here, aren't you, aren't you dead?" After a short sentence, Qin Chuan's voice trembled and eagerly.

"Master, what are you talking about?what about the others?" Listening to Qin Chuan's confused words, he felt a little strange.

"Didn't we drink wine and eat meat together, and then we went to the tomb, and then you turned into air in the tomb, and everyone else died" Qin Chuan explained anxiously, he now wanted to know the truth of the matter, and also wanted to know why the dark one was here.

"Master, wake up, when have we ever drank, since you came to this forest, you told me to go around and investigate, and when you came back, you were all gone, and besides, no one brought wine with us when we came. Through the description of the dark one, it was really a word to wake up, a dreamer.
