"This Blood ......"

I whispered to myself, reaching for the blood-colored handwriting on my desk.

Blood beads rolled, and with a touch, an extremely cold feeling crawled all over my body along the part of contact.

Like the blood that had just flowed out of the body, the three blood characters were mixed together, flowing and fused, and it was strange to form a pattern like a human face.

I swallowed, and the candlelight next to me shone on the blood, a demonic green, and the place where the lips of the human face pattern slowly bloomed, showing a strange smile. I shuddered, my head tilted, and my eyes just fell on the green candle next to me.

Like a bolt of lightning piercing my mind, I felt a thrill all over me, and suddenly I remembered something extremely strange.

From the moment I entered the first study, I seemed to be affected by something, and I automatically ignored the green candlelight. You must know that according to Xu Xiake's time calculation, this underground stone chamber has existed for at least four hundred years, and unless it is an immortal paste made of mermaid fat, it is impossible for an ordinary candle to burn for so long.

And there is this kind of bewitching green light that doesn't look like a good thing at first glance, but how could I deliberately ignore something so obvious before?

Cold sweat slid down my forehead, and my eyes were cold, and I leaned forward to take a closer look at the candle.

As my cheeks approached the candle flame, I didn't feel the warmth of the flame, but a small bump involuntarily crept up on my face.

As I got closer, I was horrified to find a face looking at me wickedly in the flickering candlelight, with green eyes all over her body, sneering at me.

"Summer Mandarin Duck!"

I was so frightened by this sudden sight that I screamed in horror and reached out to extinguish the strange candle.

However, the face in the candle flame did not change in the slightest, but looked at me evilly.

"Ahh What's going on? ”

I yelled inexplicably, waving my right hand hanging in the air and unable to shoot out, as if someone was pulling me from behind.

I turned my head to look back, and there was no one at the door, but because the shadow cast by the candlelight on the wall was very strange, it didn't make any movement with my turn, and looked at me silently as if it had a life of its own.

"This ...... It's an illusion! ”

I comforted myself loudly, even though my strength was extremely powerful, but in the face of this strange situation that was beyond nature, I still felt very frightened, even if it was a Dao Sect Xuanfa, I had never heard of such a strange thing.

As the fear in my heart grew, the green candle flame grew brighter and brighter, and the shadows on the wall became more agile, and he moved himself before I could make a move. This scene scares me even more, the shadow can act on its own? It's really unheard of and unseen.

"Ahh

I roared loudly, trying to drive away the fear in my heart, and the shadow came out of the wall, and approached me like a living person, except for the darkness.

I was horrified, and swung the evil sword in my hand towards the shadow, but he raised one of his black hands and threw the long black shadow in his hand out, and at the same time, my right hand seemed to be uncontrollable, and I also threw the evil sword out, and fell to the ground with a clang.

"What the hell are you! What the hell do you want! ”

I roared with rage, and I was sure that someone was absolutely in charge of everything in this evil sect, and it seemed that since we entered this path, we had been completely reduced to the playthings of some being.

Because of the fear and anger in my heart, the white dragon power and golden blood in my body continued to stir, and the dragon ball swirled in my dantian, and the power exploded.

I struggled to smash the shadow in front of me, but he also punched me, and suddenly there was a violent bang, and a huge force came from the fist, and my whole body was knocked upside down, and I hit the bookshelf behind me hard, and the ashes were scattered everywhere.

The broken hand bone quickly healed under the power of the white dragon, and the shadow was smashed back into the wallpaper by me, but only for a moment, he walked out of the wall like no one else and approached me again. As the fear in my heart grew stronger, his size grew larger and larger, and the faint green light even reflected the facial features of his face.

It was my appearance, but the expression was the kind of evil and cruel that I had never had.

And the candle flame also jumped up a bit, and the smiling face of the summer mandarin duck inside became more and more indifferent.

Perhaps each person has a subtle relationship with their own shadows, and the enemies I face seem to be constantly strengthening, not only possessing the same power as me, but also being able to get close to controlling my body, and after a confrontation, black arms like nothingness pass through the space, grab my throat, and lift me up.

As time passed, the shadow had even surpassed me in strength, and no matter how much he resisted, he remained unmoved.

"Are you going to die in this unknown place today?"

My face was as dead as ashes, and a feeling of despair grew in my heart. At the same time, the candle flame on the table rose more than an inch high, and the shadow that grabbed me skyrocketed a few times, even more huge.

"This ...... Could it be that its power comes from the fear in my heart? ”

A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind, and I couldn't help but feel enlightened as I watched the changes in front of me.

Feel the suffocation in my chest as I feel my throat being pinched. I was in a state of great coolness.

"Everything should be caused by this green candle. I'm afraid that the first time I entered the study, I fell into the illusion it created, it didn't actually have the power to kill me, but only to use the illusion to trigger my inner fear, and then gain the power to create a more powerful environment. ”

I muttered, "So all this in front of me is fake, and it was all created by this green candle to scare me." I'm still in the study, the summer mandarin duck is fake, Xiaobai was caught is also fake, and the study I experienced after running is also fake, everything is fake!"

"His ultimate goal is actually to let me die in my own fear, so that I can kill myself!"

My eyes widened, and I yelled at the same cheek as me in front of me and the summer mandarin duck in the candle flame: "Fake! Fake! It's all fake! You are only illusory, only I am real, and I will scatter them all! ”

As I roared like crazy, the face on the shadow was stunned, the light around me distorted, and everything shook and trembled in my eyes, until finally it was like a burst of glass that dissipated into countless shards.

When I came back to my senses, there was silence all around. I was standing in front of the bookshelf at the moment, still holding the notebook left by Xu Xiake in my hand.

On the desk in the middle, the dark red handwriting is still there, and the green candlelight is also slowly flickering, but it seems to be extremely faint and may be extinguished at any time.

I breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that I had guessed correctly, everything just now was just an illusion caused by this green candle, and I don't know what material this thing is made of, and it has this terrible magic that makes people die in fear of themselves.

"Xiaobai, ...... just now"

I opened my mouth to call Xiaobai, but when I looked at the empty room, I was shocked.

Xiaobai has really disappeared!

My heart suddenly rose to my throat, could it be that the appearance of Xia Mandarin Duck in the illusion just now was real, and he really kidnapped Xiaobai?

Moreover, why is the appearance of Xia Mandarin Duck also in the candle flame, is there really any mystery?

I shuddered, put the ancient book around my waist, and walked out with my sword in hand. As I passed by my desk, I puffed up my mouth and blew on the burning green candle, and the fire went out in an instant, plunging me into real darkness.

I strode out of the study, because of the ability to see at night, the darkness of the ground had no effect on me, but I always seemed very depressed.

I pursed my lips and walked forward, this time no longer repeating the endless repetition of the vision. After walking for about ten meters, a stone staircase appeared in front of me.

Taking a deep breath, I walked down the stone steps......
