The environment was cold and bitter, filled with a thick mist.

Mu Jiujiu and Wen Wugui walked forward here.

She remembered what he had said before, don't look down, don't look back when she hears something. But she still felt that the rock under her feet seemed to be alive, and the feeling was strangely soft, and it seemed to be still beating slightly.

Mu Jiujiu sang the mantra of great compassion in his heart, and repeatedly said to himself, don't think too much, all this is an illusion......

At this moment, the skull held in his hand trembled slightly, and let out a subtle whimper. Mu Jiujiu almost threw it down by reflex, but fortunately he endured it.

She felt as if the skull in her hand had turned in a different direction.

Wen Wugui in front of him said: "Follow the direction it is facing." ”

“…… Good. Mu Jiu said.

She thought to herself, is this still a skull that can lead the way? So whether this thing is alive or dead, will it bite?

At some point, it seemed to rain in the sky.

Countless raindrops fell, and the rain was cold and biting, and Mu Jiujiu felt that his whole body was frozen.

"Senior Wen, are you cold?" She is humane to the front.

The surroundings didn't feel good for her, so Mu Jiujiu deliberately said something to adjust the atmosphere.

"Rest assured, it's almost there." Wen Wugui is concise and to the point. He has always implemented the principle of not looking back, and Mu Jiujiu can only see his calm back.

I don't know how long I walked.

The mist gradually dissipated, and Mu Jiujiu continued to move forward with Wen Wugui.

She glanced at it, and suddenly saw that the huge statue on the other side, which had been hidden by the heavy fog, could be seen clearly.

It was carved into what appeared to be a giant bat, spreading its wings. Its head was clearly the shape of a human face, and above it was an eeriely familiar smile. I vaguely remember the old man's wooden mask, and there was such a weird smile on it.

It was obviously just a statue, but the moment Mu Jiujiu looked at her, a strange and evil feeling rose in his heart. She had the illusion that this statue seemed to be alive.

It's a delusion, she said to herself.

After walking some distance further, Mu Jiujiu glanced at the bat statue again, and found that its body seemed to move slightly.

At this moment, the bat's human face was facing her, smiling strangely at her.

Mu Jiujiu's heart trembled.

This thing just now, isn't it going in this direction......

She spoke softly and said to the front, "Senior Wen, I feel that something is wrong with the statue on the other side......"

Halfway through Mu Jiujiu's speech, his expression suddenly stiffened.

- Wen has no return in front of him, and he is gone.

And countless small voices sounded in her ears, as if they were close at hand, and as if they were on the edge of the sky, with a terrifying smile.

She looked around in astonishment.

The bat statue on the other side changed again, and the rock covering it suddenly fell, and the gray things peeled off layer by layer, revealing the original shape inside.

It was carved out of obsidian, and maybe it wouldn't be accurate to say it was a bat. The wings on it are not fan-shaped, but like wings, and each feather is so lifelike, as if it is about to spread its wings and fly in the next second. Beneath it were sharp claws, glowing with strange light, like quenching poison.

And as the rock above fell, the eyes of the huge bat turned green, and Mu Jiujiu almost thought it was alive, but then he looked at it and realized that it was carved from a special jade.

Suddenly there was a gust of wind around.

The shredded sound was louder, mixed with laughter and whimpering.

Mu Jiujiu seemed to see the shadows of thousands of human faces around him, some of them were already thin and gray dead, and some were still immature children, both men and women.

The shadows flickered around her, gathering towards her in all directions......

……

On the sand dunes, Wen Yuan looked into the distance.

The figure in front of him gradually approached, and the person who came was Luo Cheng. He rode a spirit beast that looked a bit like a camel, but with a sharp horn on its head, and approached them.

Duan Qianxiao waved at him: "Brother Luo." ”

Luo Cheng got down from the spirit beast and said to them, "Where did you go before, why did you run so far." ”

Duan Qianxiao raised his hand and spoke: "It's not Brother Wen Yuan yet, you have to chase after the man in black before." ”

Wen Yuan gave this a calm and cold gaze.

At this time, Luo Cheng noticed the weak woman behind them, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Duan Qianxiao explained: "This is what we met on the road, and she was being ...... at the time Well, so we pulled out our swords to help her and saved her. ”

Luo Cheng sighed in his heart.

In fact, this is a common thing in penal colonies, some of them are forced, and some of them are women who do it voluntarily in order to survive, just in exchange for some food. There are even many people who were unwilling at first, and who were increasingly numb by the torture of this environment, and began to do things for those who did evil at the beginning, abducting and killing people, and becoming the same kind of people as the perpetrators at the beginning.

Duan Qianxiao raised his eyebrows, very interested in the spirit beast that Luo Cheng was riding. He reached out and touched it, but the spirit beast took a step back and spewed hot air at him angrily.

"Yo, this temper." Duan Qianxiao stretched out his hands and smiled at it, and suddenly got up, wanting to sit on it. As soon as he sat down, the spirit beast struggled desperately, and with a wave of hooves, he fell to the ground.

Duan Qianxiao had an intimate hug with Huang Sha, he got up expressionlessly, patted the ash on his face, and spit out some gravel.

Wen Yuan looked at his funny appearance from the sidelines and chuckled.

Duan Qianxiao said unhappily: "It actually dislikes me!?" ”

Wen Yuan: "It's you who dislikes." ”

Luo Cheng said helplessly: "This spirit beast is called 'Desert Horse', it is rebellious by nature, I have the ability to resist beasts since I was a child, so it can accept me." ”

"Okay." Duan Qianxiao listened to this explanation and felt better.

Luo Cheng stared at the scenery on the horizon, his eyes were a little solemn. "It's getting dark," he said. ”

Wen Yuan nodded, he had mentioned before that the darkness in this exile land also meant that great danger was coming.

Luo Cheng: "We are rushing back as fast as we can, maybe we can arrive in half an hour, provided that we don't encounter any special conditions." ”

Wen Yuan said: "It may take an hour. He glanced at the frail woman beside him.

Luo Cheng understood what he meant, and sighed: "Anyway, as soon as possible, it can only be like this." ”

On the way, Duan Qianxiao couldn't help but ask, "Brother Luo, can the monsters in this exiled land still merge?" He teased Wen Yuan before, but he didn't really think that it was his sword.

Luo Cheng looked puzzled: "What, what did you encounter?" ”

Duan Qianxiao told him about the previous situation, but he didn't expect Luo Cheng's eyes to be extremely surprised, and he said: "This situation has never been seen before. ”

"It's strange, Brother Wen Yuan, is it because you and I are too handsome, so we are taken care of?" Duan Qianxiao looked at Wen Yuan and said lazily.
