As night fell, the full moon began to appear in the sky, and the Garin Mountains began to become quiet and mysterious, but under this silence was an endless crisis.

"Master, what's going on?" Ye Zhenming, who was still a teenager, asked with a panicked expression.

The young man on the side, who was called Master by Ye Zhenming, frowned slightly and explained, "This is a rare spiritual skill today, and generally only high-level spiritual masters have the opportunity to come into contact with it. First, it was because low-level spirit masters couldn't bear such a large mental load, and secondly, because spirit system spirit skills were now very rare. ”

Master Zifeng looked to the side as he spoke, and explained what had just happened......

Not far from them, a harmless-looking little gray rabbit lay quietly on the ground, blood spilling from its head and staining the surrounding grass red. If it were a normal day, Ye Zhenming would definitely condemn this cruel behavior, but he who had just heard the truth from Zifeng no longer had the slightest pity, and he was only afraid.

According to Zifeng, this is a spirit-based spirit animal. Spiritual spirit beasts are very rare in today's Ice Flame Continent, and they are basically high-level spirit beasts, and the existence of this second-order spiritual spirit beast is really surprising.

"Could it be that what Uncle Ji said is true?" Ye Zhenming frowned, "That underground passage is not an illusion but a real existence, and it can give people the ability to control the illusion?"

Zifeng nodded slightly: "I'm afraid so." ”

Time goes back to the day before.

Early in the morning, when Zifeng first brought Ye Zhenming to the Garin Mountains, a person at the foot of the mountain caught Ye Zhenming's attention. It was the old hunter Ji Hefeng who had been missing from their village for two years.

From Ji Hefeng's mouth, Ye Zhenming learned the reason for his disappearance in the past two years.

According to him, on his first trip to hunt in the Garin Mountains, he met a gray rabbit. At that time, he actually followed the rabbit for a long distance, and finally the rabbit led him to a cave.

This cave is very peculiar. It was late at night, but the cave was as bright as day. It may not be so exaggerated, but it is definitely not something that a weak moonlight can do, even if the moon is full at the time.

The gray rabbit skillfully jumped into the hole, and Ji Hefeng looked into it, and found that the light was so bright that he couldn't see anything in the hole at all.

It stands to reason that this story should be over at this point, after all, it is not a big deal, and it will not affect his life at all. It's just a glowing rabbit nest, and it's all the fuss of a well-informed old hunter. There are so many strange things in this world.

This is where the weirdest thing happens.

In fact, it was already very strange for the old hunter to be attracted by the gray rabbit and follow him here just now. It stands to reason that seeing prey of this level, for a seasoned hunter like Ji Hefeng, it is the best choice to put it directly with one arrow.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he doesn't hit, there is no need to keep chasing after him. After all, he had been in the Garin Mountains for three days at that time, and the loot had already accumulated a lot, so there was really no need to spend a lot of effort on a small rabbit.

Maybe it was because of the evil spirit, Ji Hefeng actually followed the rabbit and entered the underground passage.

In stark contrast to the scene on the ground, there was not a single ray of light in the passage. Ji Hefeng skillfully lit a match and threw it downward, and soon the match disappeared into the darkness.

Ji Hefeng was very calm at the moment, even if his goal at this time seemed very unreasonable. Little by little, he stepped on the artificially carved stone steps, walking down step by step, without any panic in his heart.

After walking for a long time, he finally saw a glimmer of light. When I looked closely, it was the match he had dropped.

He had no fear in the face of the endless darkness, but he couldn't help but tremble when he saw this faint flame, because he was so familiar with this match, so he didn't know how to explain why the match could burn for so long.

The average person is afraid of the ignorant, but it is clear that the monsoon and winds have overcome this. What is even more frightening than this is that things that have long been familiar to me suddenly become unfamiliar.

Ji Hefeng swallowed his saliva and cautiously tried to pick up the match, but the match went out at this time.

All is dark again.

Rao is as brave as Ji Hefeng couldn't help but start to panic at this moment, after all, no matter how he said that in this world where spiritual power is used to cultivate into levels, Ji Hefeng is just an ordinary person, even if he is much stronger than other ordinary people.

If what he saw in front of him wasn't enough to make him panic, what was even more terrifying was that it seemed that his actions were out of his control from the moment he saw the gray rabbit, as if another more powerful consciousness was manipulating his body.

Ji Hefeng didn't look back, firstly, his intuition told him that continuing was the best choice for now, and secondly, his body and will were no longer completely under his control. Therefore, even if he had the slightest thought of turning back, he would be immediately wiped out by the indescribable force.

He continued to descend the steps. The steps seemed to be getting steeper and narrower, and he had to stand sideways to make sure he could fully step on them.

Continuing to go down, all the way down, the fear in Ji Hefeng's heart became more and more serious, the steps were almost straight, and he seemed to be climbing.

I don't know how long it took, when he found that the next step was completely unstoppable, he finally couldn't bear it anymore. He decided to return.

As soon as this thought came out, Ji Hefeng seemed to feel an indescribable sense of relief. The upward journey was also very smooth, and there was no discomfort at all, and the brisk steps seemed to be stepping on flat ground.

However, this did not make Ji Hefeng relieved and happy, because this strange experience really made him a little uneasy, and he just wanted to climb to the entrance of the cave quickly and leave this place of right and wrong.

The only thing to be thankful for is that it seems that this upward process is very smooth, I don't know if it is in response to the old saying "it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down".

Soon, Ji Wafeng returned to the normal steps where he could step on his feet at will. However, he still did not dare to slack off, and ran up quickly. It's strange to say, even if Ji Hefeng, who is already old, is in good health now, he shouldn't be out of breath after climbing countless steps.

But at this time, he just felt full of energy.

But not long after he was relieved, the things that scared him reappeared. On the steps ahead, a match was burning quietly......
