Volume 2 The Battle for the Souls Chapter 67 The Black Matter of the Strange Land
It has been a few days since the encirclement and suppression of the demon beasts in the Demon Valley, and the first stage of the Spirit Snatching War has officially begun. Most of the participating team members hunted demon beasts in the semi-wilderness in the form of teams, but they were far less than the previous huge demon killing alliance.
The semi-deserted mountains, which are relatively quiet and deserted on weekdays, are now bustling with activity. Not only did hundreds of contestants enter, but there were also a large number of adventurers from Strange Towns who were active in it. On the Lingyi screens in various places, there are changes in points every moment. Of course, there are occasional names that dim, and which unlucky guy loses his life on the surface.
After the last Demon Valley incident, the total number of people lost as much as forty or fifty people, which also made the survivors more cautious and cautious. I believe that after experiencing such life and death, many of them will have a spiritual transformation.
The demon hunt in the outside world is in full swing, but Han Xiao has been trapped in this strange place. It's been three days, but no matter what method he uses, he can't get out of this place. After Xuan Lao and Luo Xi came out on the first day, they never appeared again. Han Xiao's plea for help was just a faint one-way to figure it out, and he didn't pay attention to it.
Han Xiao also knew that this was Xuan Lao's cultivation of his ability to solve dangers and crises independently. If you rely on Xuan Lao to help you with everything, then after developing this habit of dependence, it will be difficult to become a real strong person in the future.
......
Since there were no demon beasts here, the score on Han Xiao's spirit bead had not changed in the past few days. Watching the ranking gradually decline, he smiled bitterly, there was no way at all. "You won't be trapped in this ghost place for a month, right?" Han Xiao thought helplessly.
For three days, Han Xiao increased his horsepower and galloped wildly in all directions, but finally somehow returned to the position near the original place. In addition to suppressing soul power, this place also seems to have a confusing perception effect, making Han Xiao go around in circles for several days.
Fortunately, there was no other danger, just being trapped here.
On this day, Han Xiao walked forward cautiously, marking with soul power along the way to prevent this kind of circle from happening again. I've tried it a few times before, and in the end it failed, but I've gained a lot of experience.
When he walked to a waterfall, Han Xiao's heart moved, and sure enough, the soul mark in the back became fainter and fainter, as if it had been erased by a pair of invisible big hands. Exercising his soul power to the limit, he finally reluctantly discovered the source of a trace of that extremely subtle fluctuation.
Han Xiao's heart was lifted, although it was only the first glimpse, but he finally had a clue. In the next two days, Han Xiao kept using this method, and finally stopped playing in circles and left the position he had originally entered.
It's a shady forest, and even at noon, you don't feel half a minute of sunlight in the forest. There was not a single sound in the vast black forest, except for the occasional rustling of the wind through the trees.
Releasing the soul power again, Han Xiao was pleasantly surprised to find that this forest, which also looked a little weird, finally stopped suppressing the soul power. But he also knew that he was still in this unknown realm, and there was still a long way to go.
Dim and dead silence, this was Han Xiao's first intuitive feeling after entering the forest. Although there are many towering trees here, they are always a little less vibrant, more like puppets. And almost all plants are black on the outside, and some are grayish-black.
Jumping on the top of a big tree and looking into the distance, Han Xiao couldn't help frowning, this forest was far bigger than he imagined, and he couldn't see the edge at a glance. Looking back at the route when I went down, my face changed even more. I don't know when there was already a black forest behind me, and the road I came from was gone.
"Damn, what the hell is this place?" Han Xiao's heart was a little furious, could it be that he had really entered a Jedi? A third of the time had passed since the first stage of the Spirit Capture Battle, but he didn't have the heart to pay attention to these now. If you can't get out of here, you may be trapped here for the rest of your life that day.
"Hey, Wanmu Sealing Demon Array? No, I feel less angry, but it's really strange to look at this posture and look very similar!" Xuan Lao sighed lightly, his figure flashed, and the illusory soul body appeared on Han Xiao's left side, looking at this black forest.
Han Xiao was slightly happy, this time it wasn't him asking Xuan Lao for help, it was him who came out by himself!" "Teacher, what are you talking about the Ten Thousand Wood Sealing Demon Array?" Han Xiao asked with some curiosity.
"It is a powerful seal-type spirit array, gathering the power of ten thousand kinds of spirit trees, attracting the power of heaven and earth, and suppressing living beings!" I saw Luo Xi's beautiful figure appear on Han Xiao's right side, looking at the black forest with a slight gaze, as if explaining to Han Xiao.
Luo Xi's eyes were a little solemn, as a great grandmaster of the spirit array, it was difficult for even her to arrange such a large array at her peak, it is conceivable how strong the master of the Ten Thousand Wood Sealing Demon Array was!
This made her a little shocked that such a strong person appeared in this small empire. Not to mention the Yunsheng Empire, even if there is such a strong person in the entire Eastern Xuan Domain, it is still a matter of two words. Warriors who have been able to reach this point usually go to that place in order to go further.
Han Xiao watched the movements of the two and did not step forward to interrupt. He was also secretly vigilant in his heart, it seemed that this black forest was not as simple as he imagined. I don't know how big this forest is, but it's just an artificially arranged formation! So how terrifying is the existence that needs to be suppressed by such a terrifying formation? The key is, is that thing that is sealed dead or alive?
"Xiaoxi, you are more proficient in the formation than the teacher, can you see if this is the Wanmu Sealing Demon Array?" After observing for a while, Xuan Lao asked Luo Xi who was not far away, and his eyebrows were also a little solemn.
Nodding slightly, the jade hand stroked a pitch-black branch, and Luo Xi said slowly: "This should be the Wanmu Sealing Demon Great Array, but the strange thing is that the anger in the Great Array is not seen at all, but this Great Array has not collapsed." And this black substance permeated almost the entire Great Array, perhaps this is the reason. ”
After listening to Luo Xi's words, Xuan Lao hummed softly and agreed. He had seen a strong man use this powerful spirit array to completely suppress a ninth-level ancient beast!
Han Xiao held a foot-long branch in his hand and tried to tear it off, but he was surprised to find that no matter how much strength he had, this seemingly fragile branch was like a Nine Heavens Dark Iron, and it didn't move at all. Seeing this, Luo Xi smiled and said, "Don't think about being able to break a single tree in this forest, unless you have the ability to destroy the entire large array, otherwise the integrated formation, you will be the enemy of the entire large array~"
The old face flushed, and Han Xiao withdrew his palm in a daze. No wonder Sister Luo Xi just stroked it and didn't break it, it turned out that this forest was so powerful.
"Han boy, we have to get out of this place as soon as possible, the old man has a hunch that there is something terrible at the bottom of this forest. Maybe the old man was not afraid at his peak, but if he meets now, the three of us master and apprentice will have to explain here!"
Xuan Lao was also speechless, wasn't he just being chased by a third-level demon beast, and he came to this area inexplicably. He didn't feel the slightest sense of entering the big array just now, after all, the master who set up the big array at the beginning, his strength should not be much weaker than him.
When he knew from Luo Xi that this was a ninth-level spirit array, Han Xiao broke out in a cold sweat. If the things under this big array come out, let alone the Yunsheng Empire, the entire Eastern Xuan Domain will be turned upside down.
In the entire continent, there shouldn't be too many people who can subdue the suppressed creatures.
Looking at the forest-covered earth with some fear, Han Xiao's heart moved, and he sacrificed the Devouring Flame and attached it to a branch. The original invincible devouring power actually came out of it a sense of stagnation. But fortunately, the Devouring Spirit is worthy of being one of the nine spirits, and as time slowly passes, a small wisp of black matter falls off from the branches, and is imprisoned in the air by the devouring power, slowly devouring.
At the moment when the devouring power completely swallowed it, the entire forest shook, as if an eight-magnitude earthquake had occurred.
Xuan Lao was also shocked, isn't the following thing coming out?
Under the jealous gaze of the three masters and apprentices, a mass of black flowing water overflowed from the earth. When Xuan Lao saw this scene, his eyes shrank to the size of a needle, and he said in shock: "Is this actually that kind of thing?" Luo Xi also lost his face, and his face showed a panicked look.
Han Xiao was shocked, this was the first time he had seen the two of them show such expressions, jealousy, hatred, and even a trace of fear. What is this black substance that makes Xuan Lao and Luo Xi like great enemies.
The black substance was obviously suppressed underground by the large array, and when it wanted to rush out, it saw the entire Ten Thousand Wood Sealing Demon Great Array tremble, and a trace of blue light appeared, with a huge vitality and the power of heaven and earth, and it was fiercely suppressed! The blue and black light stalemate for a moment, and the black substance "wave" collapsed and dispersed, returning to the earth, and disappeared. And beneath the earth, there seemed to be the roar of evil spirits, filled with endless resentment.
The blue light seemed to have consumed too much energy due to the suppression of the strange black matter, and it was much dimmer, and it returned to the forest again.
"Old .. Teacher, what is that?" Han Xiao said, swallowing his saliva. It was really that black substance that was too terrifying, and the moment he appeared, Han Xiao felt that all the spiritual power of this heaven and earth was gone. And in his heart, there was a feeling of extreme disgust for this black substance, like a natural enemy, and he only wanted to destroy it.
Xuan Lao looked at the place where the black substance disappeared in a daze, and was speechless for a long time. Luo Xi was also standing behind Xuan Lao, and a sad look flashed in his beautiful eyes.
