Lin Suwen woke up after not sleeping for long, meditating in place, looking stunned, as if in a daze.

I tentatively called him: "Lin Suwen ......"

He looked at me, and I asked, "Are you alright?" ”

He shook his head.

I didn't dare to mention his mother's matter to him, for fear that he would be even more upset, so I could only say sullenly: "Let's wait a while before leaving, it seems that the further down we go, the stronger the demonic spirit becomes." ”

Lin Su snorted when he heard this, leaning his back against the rattan tree behind him, his face was pale in the faint light, and his expression was still dazed.

I'm still thinking about things in my dreams.

I didn't know what to say to make him recover from those past events, knowing that he was sad, but he couldn't do anything, and his heart was depressed, and it was even more uncomfortable.

After a long time, he cautiously said to him: "If you have anything, you can tell me, although it can't solve anything, but at least, it can make you feel better." ”

He looked at me with a look of surprise, as if he didn't understand why I had said these things to him suddenly, but he was a man of a stoic personality who was not a special person and would not speak easily.

Therefore, after a moment of silence, he still hummed.

And he said to me, "Thank you." ”

I smiled at him rather awkwardly and looked away.

After resting in the same place for a while, I continued to hurry, and the demon mound was everywhere, and there was no light from the outside world, which meant that it was not easy to find an exit.

It took a long time to reach the foot of the skeleton, only to see the white bones everywhere and the demonic aura lingering on the skeleton.

And as we suspected, this skeleton is still alive, and it draws demonic energy from the bones all over the place, and constantly devours other bones to strengthen itself.

It's just that it's so huge, so we ignored this bit of movement and didn't notice it at first.

It's the first time I've seen such a big monster, even though it's still sleeping, I can't help but feel a trace of awe in my heart.

As he looked up at the huge skeleton in front of him, a dark black shadow slowly rose from behind him, and a humanoid object floated into the air, holding a long scythe in his hand.

Lin Suwen and I found it, stood still and didn't move, quietly glanced at each other, and when it brandished its sickle and was about to cut it down, one turned around, dodged it, and landed in the open space not far away.

A skeleton in a black cloak comes into view.

Although it was in the shape of a human, its hands and feet were obviously much longer than those of a human, and the cloak was tattered and floated in the air like a ghost.

Where its scythe fell, the bones on the ground were shattered, and dust and powder rose into the sky.

I covered my mouth and nose and coughed, and said, "What the hell is this, with such great strength, if we hadn't escaped fast just now, the two of us would have been cut in half by its scythe." ”

Seeing that the monster didn't hurt us, it slowly floated up again, holding a scythe and still wanted to attack, Lin Suwen held the ink pool, blocking in front of me, and threw it quickly, the ink pool passed through the monster's body, and the monster suddenly turned into a pile of powder and fell to the ground.

He walked over, picked up the ink pool, and said, "This is the puppet skeleton set up by the Lin family in the demon mound, be careful." ”

I was dumbfounded, and I couldn't help asking: "In addition to your Lin family, who else will come in this demon mound, and it is necessary to make a guard for your own people like a thief?" ”

Lin Suwen glanced at me and said, "The disciples who entered the demon mound are all here for trials, and escaping the attacks of puppet skeletons is also one of the trials. ”

“……”

Hearing him say this, I glanced at the pile of skeletons that had long since turned to dust, and was a little disgusted: "It's not good. ”

"One is not good, but if thousands of them come together......"

Before he finished speaking, there was the sound of his clothes being blown by the wind in the void, and he subconsciously raised his head to look, and in all directions, there was a piece of black pressing, and he couldn't count it.

His scalp was numb for a while, and he said to Lin Suwen in a trembling voice: "That, that...... Aren't they all puppet skeletons? ”

Lin Suwen had already picked up the ink pool, with a posture of preparing to fight, I walked over to pull him, and shouted: "What are you waiting for, run, so many puppets, when will the fight be finished?" ”

dragged Lin Suwen to a hidden cave, at the entrance of the cave, set up a spell, turned into an enchantment, and blocked the attack of those puppet skeletons, but those things were extremely powerful, a sickle went down, and the enchantment was actually struck by them.

Leaning on the stone wall behind him, he gasped: "The people of your family are really unreasonable, what kind of trial is this, it is clear that it is necessary to be so ruthless to the people of your own family?" ”

Lin Suwen didn't answer, his eyes stared at the corner of the cave, I followed his line of sight, and saw a few skeletons inside, different from the puppets outside, these were human bones.

"This ......"

When I walked up to check, I found that they were all wearing the clothes of the Lin family, and they were also using the swords of the Lin family.

"Is it ......?"

I thought about it and already had the answer.

These are the disciples of the Lin family who have entered the demon mound before, and when I set up an enchantment at the entrance of the cave just now, I have already seen that in addition to the spell I set, there are other people's.

Presumably driven here by those puppet skeletons, they could only hide in the cave, not daring to go out, and there was not enough water and food, so they were trapped inside and starved to death.

I feel a little uncomfortable, the people of the Lin family are too ruthless, they are all their own people, for the so-called cultivation, why not.

Afraid that Lin Su would be sad when he heard it, he changed his tone and comforted: "I remember you said before, the way of cultivation is like this, if there is no pioneer and sacrifice of predecessors, future generations will not be able to inherit and innovate, as a warlock, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death on this battlefield." ”

Lin Suwen lowered his head and hummed lightly.

I helped him bury the bones, stood in front of him and bowed, and suddenly remembered that when I came down, I carried an apple in my bosom, felt it, and put it on the ground.

After doing these things, I began to fall into confusion again.

Now, what can be done to solve the dilemma at hand?

Those puppet skeletons are still wandering outside, looking around, there is a piece of black pressing, not to mention thousands, if Lin Suwen and I work hard, we can be tired to death, but if we don't go out, do we have to be trapped alive inside like those Lin family members?

Tired and hungry, I lay in the cave and slept all night, I vaguely heard the sound of gurgling water in my ears, I woke up, rubbed my eyes, and saw Lin Suwen standing not far from me.

In front of him was a beautiful back of light blue.

I felt strange, stared at the back for a while, and then suddenly remembered what was strange, just now Lin Suwen and I were trapped in the cave by the puppet skeleton, how could there be any sound of water?

The starry sky was bright, there were light blue points of light floating in the water, and the back figure slowly turned around, and it was clearly Yun Bingci's face.

She stretched out her hand to Lin Suwen: "Wen'er ......"

Seeing that Lin Suwen was about to take a step, I hurriedly shouted to him: "Lin Suwen!" ”

Walking over, and pointing out a spiritual power, the pale blue ocean instantly collapsed, shattering into thousands of points of light and dissipating without a trace.

The cave is still the same cave as it was, and the enchantment is still the same enchantment, Lin Suwen was almost confused and walked out just now.

"It's an illusion."

But Lin Suwen was still looking motionless ahead.

I followed his line of sight, and the thing pretending to be his mother was still standing at the door of the cave.

That is......

This stuff is real.

Monsters?

Or something else.

I've never seen anything like this, and I'm not sure for a while, so I can only remind Lin Suwen: "Don't go over, that's not true." ”

But I heard Lin Suwen explain lightly: "This is a mirage, which can copy what he has seen into an illusion......

I sighed, thinking to myself, this mirage didn't know how long it had been held here, and it hadn't been devoured by that huge skeleton, and I couldn't help but be stunned when I thought about it.

Lin Suwen said that this thing can replicate what he has seen, so it can just transform into Lin Suwen's mother, which means that it has seen Yun Bingci before.

Back then, the monster that killed Yun Bingci, was it among them?

Seeing that we weren't fooled, the monster let out a shrill chuckle, clutched its hair and ran away.

At the same time, a voice came from all directions-

"Wen'er, run......"

"Wen'er, run......"

……

Miserable and miserable, one after another, Lin Suwen's face turned pale, although he still held the ink pool tightly, he couldn't take a step.

The monster ran behind the mountain rock opposite, poked out its head, and transformed into its original appearance, wearing a white miserable mask, and the smile was fixed on its face, motionless, and it looked even more weird.

Lin Suwen stared at it deadly.

I had no choice but to step forward, shake his shoulder, and say, "These are all fakes, don't think about it anymore." ”

Lin Suwen lowered his head, brushed away the hand I put on his shoulder, bypassed me, and walked straight out of the cave.

I knew the danger outside, and I was about to stop it, but Lin Suwen dodged and dodged, and with a shapeshift, he rushed to the side of the mirage, grabbed its throat with one hand, and lifted it up.

With a loud sound, the mirage was thrown far away by him, hitting the rocks and falling to the ground.

The sad voice of his mother in his ears still did not arrive, and he became more anxious, which seemed to confirm Lin Suwen's state of mind at this time.

Restless and chaotic, listening to these voices, it seems to go back to the night when his mother was killed by a monster more than ten years ago.

Those puppet skeletons also heard the movement, and they surrounded and came to check the situation, and finally found Lin Suwen who had walked out of the enchantment.

Lin Suwen was half-kneeling, pressed the mirage to the ground, and held the inkpool, and at the same time, a puppet skeleton also appeared behind him, raising the sickle in his hand.

I hurriedly shouted: "Lin Suwen, behind you!" ”

Lin Suwen's movements stopped for a moment, and he seemed to have sensed the movement behind him, but he still raised the ink pool and stabbed towards the mirage mask.
