"The village chief once told me that when a person dies, his soul goes to a place called the end of the earth, where it is controlled by the spirits. But here, the souls that have been extracted by the spirits seem to be forgotten by the outside world, as if they were like the Dragonbone Mountain, and they wander the valley at night, absorbing the souls of the living. ”

Han Xin listened to all this in surprise, and didn't know what to say to comfort Mingwu, and wanted to divert the topic, but accidentally asked, "The rainbow I saw before is the reincarnation of the mountain god?"

"Oh no, I asked the wrong thing. Han Xin shouted in his heart.

"Whether it is a god or a man, although there is a soul in this world, but there is no reincarnation, death means disappearance, and death is like a lamp going out, and so is God. If there really is a god, why is there still so much misfortune and suffering in this world? In the final analysis, those who are worshipped as gods are just living beings, and there is no essential difference between you and me. ”

"Oh!" Han Xin was surprised by Name's words, and responded in a daze.

"Let's go. ”

Han Xin was about to continue his journey with Nano, but suddenly noticed that a white shadow flashed at the other end of the village.

"...... that?"

Na Wu stared into the distance, his expression a little serious.

Suddenly, Nano quickly said, "Hurry up and get out of here! As I just said, the spirit has appeared!"

At the same time, Nano picked up Han Xin and fled quickly.

"Spirits, is it the back of the mountain?"

"No, it's another, a soul-extracting rainbow, once called Liuyun! The reason why the people of this village have become the way they are outside is because of it. ”

Not long after, in front of the two of them, a cloud of white mist suddenly fell from the sky, and the white mist quickly converged into a two-meter-high and four-meter-long white rainbow, which was a blackened flowing cloud!

"I've finally found you, human-human! Your souls, I'm going to take them!"

The soaring white mist rose from the foot of the flowing clouds and rushed towards the two of them like a flood!

Nano immediately turned around and ran towards the village at full speed, followed by white mist rolling in.

"If you are touched by this white mist, your soul will be taken away, you will die instantly, and your soul will become what you see from the outside. ”

"What should I do?"

Na Wu ran through the village with all his strength in his arms with Han Xin, and because the speed was too fast, it seemed that the houses around him seemed to be pulled into countless parallel streams.

"It's here!"

Nano stopped in front of an alley and pressed on the wall a few times, only to see a stone slab on the ground open and a staircase leading to the ground appeared. Na Wu hugged Han Xin and immediately ran in. By the time the white mist arrived, the slate had already been covered again.

The staircase was long, swirling and pointing downward, and when it reached the ground, it was pitch black.

At this time, the name has no choice but to put down Han Xin.

"Here?"

"The library. The village chief brought me here once before. ”

Nano fumbled around the wall, pressed the switch, and countless lights on the wall lit up one after another. Han Xin then found that in a large cylindrical basement, ten bookshelves were neatly arranged, and the books were covered with dust.

"It's amazing how many books can be found in one village. "Han Xin.

Nano walked slowly towards the center of the library. There was a skeleton, sitting on a stone chair, lying on a desk, with two books on one side, a brush and an inkstone whose ink had long since dried out, and under the skull, there was a book that had not yet been written.

"It seems that you were not on it when disaster struck. ”

"Who is this person?"

"The village chief. In the village, the only person with three gods embroidered on his clothes is the village chief. ”

Nano took out the book that was pressed under his skull and blew away the flying dust, revealing that it was a book that recorded various plants, but it was not finished yet. The other two books on the table are also of the same kind, called "The Taste of Herbs".

"These books are written by each generation of village chiefs themselves, and they record their life experiences and wisdom for future generations to refer to. ”

"I see. ”

Na Wu put away the three books and led Han Xin to a small room in the library room, through the mechanism on the wall, Na Wu opened a secret door, and a pitch-black tunnel appeared in front of the two of them. Na Wu carried the lamp he brought from the library and led Han Xin into the tunnel.

In the dark tunnel, the range that the eye can see is only a little distance illuminated by the light in the hand. In the small environment, the footsteps, breathing, and even heartbeat of the two people were faintly audible. And Han Xin held Ming Wu's hand, and he didn't know when he grabbed it tighter. The two of them walked slowly forward, and the sound of 'tick-tock' water droplets in the distance became clearer and clearer.

"Are you scared?"

"Nope. Han Xin shook his head.

"Walk through here, and you're outside the village. ”

"Ahh

"I feel like I'm smelling something very delicious. The voice continued.

In front of me, there seemed to be an old man standing, but the person's body was floating.

"What's that?" Han Xin said tremblingly.

"Don't be afraid, it's the same as what you see on the bridge, only in human form. When you pass by it, close your eyes and don't breathe. ”

"Hmm. ”

Nano knew in his heart that that thing could only be the soul of the village chief, and there was only one explanation for the village chief to become like this, that is, Liuyun had also been here. An ominous premonition hit, and it grew stronger.

"Are you ready?"

"Hmm. ”

The two walked forward slowly, and Han Xin also closed his eyes and held his breath. When he passed by that soul, Na Wu could clearly see that it was exactly what the village chief looked like, but Na Wu didn't take a second look. The soul stretched out his head suspiciously, glanced at it in front of Han Xin, sniffed it, and didn't find the delicious smell before, but it seemed to be unwilling, and followed the two of them from a distance.

"Where are the delicious souls, where have the delicious souls gone?" whispered the lost soul.

Finally, after following for some distance, the soul disappeared behind him, and a full four minutes had passed.

"That's it. Nano said.

Han Xin immediately opened her eyes, her cheeks were already red, but she didn't breathe, but only carefully breathed after confirming that the soul was gone.

After a while, the two of them came to the exit, passed through the cave obscured by vines, and finally walked out of the tunnel and into a forest.

Even during the day, the light in the forest is very weak, and the trees in the distance are hidden in a faint purple mist.

The forest was eerily quiet, with no cries of birds and beasts, not even the sound of the wind.

All the trees could see their straight trunks, and the branches and foliage above them were hidden in the purple mist.

Han Xin walked cautiously forward with the support of Nano, and suddenly Namu stopped.

"You must be wondering why so many of the creatures here glow. ”

"Why?"

"That's to get used to the environment. And then, we may meet the creature that is most adapted to the environment here, and it is also extremely dangerous, the fire mayfly!"

"Fireflies, I've heard people talk about them before, like a small flying insect, which will gather together in groups at night, and its body exudes fluorescence, wandering in the air. ”

"The fireflies here emit a red glow, and because of this dark environment, they can be seen both during the day and at night. No matter what kind of animal, as long as they find it, a large group of fireflies will surround it, and each mayfly will generate an extremely strong electric current on its body, instantly stun or kill the animal, and finally burrow into the animal's body to devour its flesh and blood. ”

"Then how do you dodge them. ”

"I told you ahead of time that I wanted you to be ready. If you come across them, don't move, and don't look at them. The light emitted by the mayflies is a trap. ”

"Okay. ”

The two of them continued to walk slowly towards the depths of the forest, and from time to time they would encounter ravines on the way, which were all overgrown with blood-red thorns, but they all easily crossed over under the leadership of Nano.

As the two of them walked to the edge of a huge rock, they suddenly heard a "sizzling" electric current coming from far and near.

Namu stopped, judging that the sound was coming from behind the rock, and then took Han Xin to hide in the gap between the rock and the ground.

"Is it a firefly?" Han Xin asked with his voice lowered to the lowest.

"Shhhh Ming Wuwu's body stood in front of Han Xin and covered her eyes with his hands.

"Boom ......" is louder.

A large flock, tens of thousands of fireflies, flew over the rocks, and the red light shone on the forest, and the earth was flushed with a layer of red.

Han Xin was scared and wanted to sneak a peek at the scene, but he couldn't help it when he remembered Nano's advice.

Time passed slowly, and before the mayfly fireflies had flown away, a white light suddenly shone on.

Then, a low roar came from behind Na Wu, "Human, I take your soul. ”

"It just came at this time. Na Wu couldn't help but sigh lightly, immediately picked up Han Xin, walked out of the gap, and jumped to the top of the rock in a few steps.

"Boom ......"

Han Xin's eyes widened and he looked at the fire mayfly behind him, only to see that the large mass of countless red dots suddenly stretched into the shape of a sharp sword, and quickly rushed towards the two of them. Behind the floating fireflies, the blackened clouds turned into a cloud of soaring white mist, rushing like a torrent in the mountains. Anyone who catches up, Han Xin is a dead end.

However, when Han Xin looked ahead again, she felt even more desperate.

There is no road ahead. Under the boulders, there is a stone forest composed of stone pillars raised by huge stones. Each pillar looked like it was in danger of collapsing at any moment, and a rising purple mist permeated the waist of the pillars. The pillars were scattered and scattered, with no less than six meters between any two of them, and below them was a bottomless abyss.

"What should I do?" Han Xin asked anxiously.

Na Wu was expressionless and serious, his eyes quickly searching the area of the stone pillar below. Suddenly, a collapsed giant tree came into view. I saw that the giant tree was sloping downward, lying horizontally on top of many stone pillars, forming a bridge with no end in sight, but the wooden core of the giant tree had long since decayed, and only a layer of crunchy bark remained.

At this moment, the fire mayfly was only a few dozen meters away from the two of them, and Liuyun was about to catch up. At this moment, Na Wu hugged Han Xin, trotted a few steps forward, suddenly jumped and landed on a stone pillar in a precise and graceful arc, and the stone pillar immediately shook.

Nano didn't have the slightest sense of stopping, and soon jumped onto another stone pillar and came to the giant tree step by step. Then he ran along the giant tree at incredible speed, stepping out of a hole in the rotten bark with each step.

During the whole process, Han Xin screamed continuously, like a little girl riding a roller coaster.

At the end of the giant tree, there was a flat land, the trees had become sparse, and the light was a little brighter.

With the help of the lower stone pillar, Nano jumped to the ground step by step, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but a burst of white mist suddenly flooded the bodies of the two.

No matter how fast Nanoi is, running on that incredible road, it is impossible to shake off the flowing clouds flying in the air.

Na Wu was stunned, this stream of clouds came too suddenly, and Na Wu didn't even react.

The white mist dissipated, and after a long time, Ming Wucai lowered his head and looked at Han Xin in his arms.

Han Xin's face was bloodless and he lost his movement.

"No, it can't be. Ming Wuxin read word by word.
