Chapter 297, The Monster in the Mask

Taking a step forward, the originally calm path in front of him turned into a sea of fire in an instant, and the path with the word "sheng" was indeed not as easy to pass as imagined.

Originally, Tang Yao planned to rush over directly with his head covered, even if his body was bound by chains, no matter how slow he ran, he would definitely be able to rush over at his speed in thirteen seconds, but now the path was full of flames, and the raging flames were afraid that they would engulf him the moment he rushed over.

Of course, Tang Yao would not take this risk, and took a step back, when his feet left the range of the trail, the flames on the trail in front of him quickly extinguished, and it looked as if it had never burned, but the black smoke wafting in the air told Tang Yao that what he had just seen was not an illusion.

"Are those flames real?" Tang Yao asked Wei Rampant in surprise.

Wei Yi didn't say a word and chose to be silent, Tang Yao squatted down to take a closer look and soon found that he found that the trail was different in height, the side of the "Sheng" character pattern was slightly shorter, and the side of the "Sheng" character pattern, that is, the height of the trail that Tang Yao had just stepped on was slightly higher, and this difference was difficult to find if you didn't observe carefully.

Tang Yao stood up again, slowly stretched out his feet and stepped on the trail, his eyes no longer looked at the distance of the trail but stared at the ground in front of him, when his feet stepped on the moment he exerted a slight force, he saw the trail sink a little, and then the entire trail suddenly burst out of a huge flame, as before, the word "sheng" trail instantly turned into a sea of fire.

"I see, there is a mechanism installed under the entire trail, as long as you step on it, the trap will be triggered, and then the trail will become a sea of fire, but if you take the foot back, the trap will return to its place, and the flame will naturally be extinguished, this mechanism is not particularly powerful now, but it will be different in the past, it is really remarkable to be able to make such a precise mechanism thousands of years ago, but after so many years, the fuel under the mechanism should have been exhausted long ago, why can such a strong flame still erupt, Did someone add new fuel to it? Tang Yao muttered to himself, but in his mind he thought of the flames that lit up on the wall when he just entered the sleeping palace, and the three of them guessed that the fuel of these flames should have been re-added by Yang Xu when he returned to the sleeping palace, but now Tang Yao thought about it and felt that something was wrong, Yang Xu's legs and feet were so inconvenient, how did he get here, and he could pass so many levels before that a person with a disabled leg could pass it smoothly?

Tang Yao retracted his foot, the flame on the trail was extinguished again, he hesitated for a moment and then turned around and walked towards the path with the word "death" pattern, according to Wei Rant's statement, the path of "life" is the path that the soul taught to those who were immortal gods in their previous lives, and if you choose the right path, then you will go all the way up, and Tang Yao just saw that the entire trail was full of flames, and he didn't know how to remove the mechanism for the time being, so it was better to see if there was a way to pass through the other two roads.

This time, Tang Yao learned wisely, stood in front of the "death" character pattern and stopped, looked down and took a closer look, this time he didn't find any part above the ground, it seemed that there was no mechanism.

He tried to step over the "death" pattern, nothing happened when his right foot fell, this time Tang Yao was a little relieved and continued to take a few steps forward, the trail still looked calm, although Tang Yao was still very vigilant, at least relaxed a little, and even laughed at himself: "Could it be that I was a mountain spirit monster in my last life?" ”

But just after he continued to walk forward a few more steps, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked back, he saw that it was dark behind him, and the road he came from was completely covered by darkness, Tang Yao realized that something was wrong and hurriedly walked back, he remembered that he had only walked a maximum of seven or eight steps on this path, but now he had walked back a full twenty steps and was still in the dark.

"Why can't you get out, why is it dark everywhere?" Tang Yao was a little panicked, even more nervous than when he saw the flames on the "Sheng" word trail before, people were afraid of flames but as long as they were not in the flames, they could control their fears, and in comparison, people's fear of darkness far exceeded their fear of flames.

Tang Yao said loudly: "Wei Yi, can you hear my voice, pull me out." ”

The voice seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness, Tang Yao clearly felt that his voice did not travel far, and the voice seemed to be swallowed by an invisible mouth after it entered the darkness.

"Wei Rampant, can you hear it, Wei Rampant ......" Tang Yao shouted again and again, but Wei Rant didn't answer, but Tang Yao was not slow to react, and immediately tried to grab the bone spurs on his body, but at this time, he remembered that he was bound by chains, and he wanted to reach out but couldn't catch the bone spurs at all, so he could only find a way to twist his body to drive the bone spurs to vibrate slightly.

Wei Yi still didn't react, Tang Yao tried to calm himself down, if this place was just shrouded in darkness, it wouldn't be anything to fear, it was just a kind of confusion and confusion, he was probably just spinning in place.

But just after Tang Yao had just popped up this idea in his mind, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the dark path behind him, the sound was like the sound of ......leather shoes stepping on the marble, and because the surroundings were too quiet, Tang Yao listened very clearly, he immediately looked back at the path in the dark, although he couldn't see anything, but he seemed to be able to sense something in the dark.

"Who's there?" Tang Yao deliberately shouted loudly, on the one hand, to deter the other party, and on the other hand, to strengthen himself.

The darkness was lifted like a cloud, and then a pair of things that looked like claws slowly tore through the darkness in front of Tang Yao, and in the gap that was gradually opened, Tang Yao saw a cold and gloomy face, not like a normal person's face but more like a mask.

The pale mask depicts the facial features of human beings, and the mouth that looks like a smile makes people shudder, the most frightening thing about the mask is that you don't know what the face under the mask looks like, it may be a beautiful woman, but it may also be a terrifying monster, and at this moment, Tang Yao is almost certain that the mask must be a terrifying monster.

The masked monster tried to come out of the darkness, but the darkness was like a closed door, it could only slowly open a gap with a lot of force, Tang Yao quickly retreated, he was now not only bound by chains but also seriously injured, if he really encountered this kind of monster that I don't know if it was an illusion or a real existence, it would only be killed.

But he took a few steps back and suddenly something abnormal, his back hit something, and when he looked back, the darkness behind him seemed to be materialized, he hurriedly turned around and kicked it, and it turned out that he really kicked something hard, and there was no similar situation when he stepped back before, and now the darkness behind him seemed to have become a terrible high wall.

Tang Yao scolded: "What kind of illusion-breaking technique is this, do you have to kill me?" ”

But at this time, the masked monster in front of him had already drilled out half of his head from the darkness, and the mask on his face had rubbed off a piece in the impact, Tang Yao could vaguely see that there seemed to be rotten skin under the part of the mask that had been rubbed off, and he asked loudly: "What kind of monster are you?" ”

Where will the monster answer him, the crack in the darkness is getting bigger and bigger, and the monster's body slowly meets Tang Yao's eyes, it looks like a foreign horror movie alien that Tang Yao watched when he was a child, but this alien is wearing a mask.

The monster's feet kept pacing, and the footsteps he just heard came from this, it seemed to be in a hurry, desperately trying to rush over, Tang Yao tried his best to shake the bone spurs and wanted to ask Wei Rampant for help, after a while, half of the monster's body had been drilled through the crack, Tang Yao felt that this time I was afraid that it was really difficult to escape, at this time, the bone spurs hanging on his shoulders suddenly tightened, and then dragged hard, Tang Yao was dragged back by the bone spurs and hit the invisible high wall, he shouted loudly: "Wei Yan, I can't get by, there is a wall here." ”

As soon as the words fell, the monster behind the crack had already drilled over most of its body, and then turned into a four-legged momentum with both hands on the ground, ready to pounce on Tang Yao.
