Chapter 35: The Haunted Mansion and the Devil's Land

Previous Chapter

What a strange sunshine!

Jiang Xiaoyu has seen Gu Yao, and he has also seen Tai Hao in the bitter sea.

Gu Yao's light is golden red, gentle as a yellow flower, and Taihao's light is golden and fierce like a bearded husband, but no matter what, it is bright and warm. Jiang Xiaoyu has always thought that all the light in the world should be like this.

But this time, the black fireball hanging high above his head shattered his notion.

Have you ever seen a shadow, a dark, faint light? It shines down like a hazy black veil over the whole world, mysterious and treacherous, confused and gray, like the eyes of the old man.

Jiang Xiaoyu stretched out his right hand, letting the shadowy light pass through his fingers. Such a scene is really peculiar, and at this moment, there is a bright spot in the shape of a palm on his face.

Compared to the bitter sea and the small world, the law of light here is like a drop, and it is a completely different and new experience.

What's even more peculiar is that this yin line shines in the center of the palm, and Jiang Xiaoyu does not feel the slightest warmth, but is like the flowing water in the underground yin vein, with a piercing shade.

If the sun of this world is like this, then what does this world look like?

For a moment, he completely forgot that he was still a guest "invited" by others, and began to look around with interest.

I don't know if it's because of this black flame, the color of almost all the creatures in this ghost domain is a little dark, that is, the stone looks like black charcoal, shining with a faint luster, which is very strange.

The darker the place, the brighter the light.

He noticed that the eyes of the twelve zodiac signs suddenly became extremely bright, like wild birds and animals in the mountains. In this gloomy environment, it seems a little deep and scary.

At this time, they were in a deserted Gobi desert, boundless.

Sand and gravel, except for the occasional few small grasses and thorns that I don't know, only sand and gravel, endless gray and dark sand and gravel.

If it is the Gobi in other realms, don't say that the sun is still there, that is, when the sun has just set, the heat should be steaming out of the ground, making people want to take off all the clothes on their bodies.

But this place is different, although the black flame is still hanging high in the air at the moment, the biting chill has begun to hit Jiang Xiaoyu and the others, even if the breeze blows on the face, it is also like a knife.

In this regard, the zodiac signs and others are obviously very adaptable, and there is nothing unusual. But Jiang Xiaoyu and the others couldn't stand it anymore, and the four of them all lit up with mysterious runes on their chests, exuding a faint warm glow, although the colors were different, they all had the same purpose, only for warmth.

In this boundless and gloomy world, the four of them are like bright stars of hope at this moment, even if they are hundreds of miles away, they can be clearly seen.

But for some reason, when the snake-headed black-robed man saw this, he suddenly laughed, with deep meaning. Although the other eleven people didn't laugh, Jiang Xiaoyu also felt a sense of schadenfreude from them.

Why is that?

As soon as a trace of doubt rose in his heart, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

As soon as he looked down at his chest, his scalp was tingling, something he had never imagined.

If a mortal looked at it, he would only see that the black sand in the sky was constantly converging, attacking Jiang Xiaoyu's chest. But what kind of eyes Jiang Xiaoyu is, as long as his eyes are condensed with divine power, let alone a mosquito, even a hair on the mosquito's leg can be seen as clearly as a big tree in front of him, which can only be hugged by the three of them.

Just a slight look, oh my God, this is sand, it is clearly countless unknown little black bugs.

The insect looked very similar to an ant, covered with a dull black carapace, small at the top and large at the bottom, full on both sides, with long tentacles on its head, and dark oval protrusions at its eyes, without the slightest light.

There are also wings on the ribs, like black veil, thin and dark, and if you don't look closely, you can't see clearly. Swinging in this place, there is not a shadow at all, not even a sound.

Its hideous and terrifying mouthparts are the most terrifying, and around its oval mouth, there are rows of scimitar-like teeth, and the edges are all jagged, and it does not look like a good person, it is very sharp and terrifying.

This kind of insect is too small, each one is like a tiny grain of sand, and the color of the whole body is gray, if it is not for the light on the chest, Jiang Xiaoyu is really difficult to detect for a while.

No, or rather, these insects were attracted by the splendor on his chest. As if they had seen food, they swarmed towards the chests of Jiang Xiaoyu and the four of them, and their terrible mouthparts kept biting, as if they couldn't help but want a good meal.

"Quickly withdraw the divine power!" Jiang Xiaoyu said loudly in a hurry.

He didn't even think about attacking and killing these insects, the strange behavior of the black-robed man just now told him that although these insects seemed weak and had nothing special about them, they were definitely not easy to mess with.

At the same time, the three of them, Xi Butterfly, also sensed that something was wrong, and did not make a rash attack, just like Jiang Xiaoyu, they immediately withdrew the divine power condensed in their chests.

Compared to the rather unbearable chill, these obviously deadly bugs are obviously more difficult to deal with.

Seeing this, the snake-headed black-robed man suddenly sighed and said regretfully: "Alas, it's almost there." ”

Unaware that the insects continued to attack, they seemed to disperse and left, and Jiang Xiaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, he didn't even dare to condense his divine power into his eyes to inspect it, for fear that something would happen again, and at this moment, he was already shocked into a thin cold sweat.

Ignoring the snake-headed black-robed man, he asked the black-robed man with the lead rat head, "What is that?"

The rat-headed black-robed man said lightly: "That bug is a specialty here, it doesn't have a name, but we call it a black skeleton." In this vast Gobi Desert, I don't know how many there are at all. It is only known that it is naturally extremely sensitive to the divine power emitted by it, and feeds on it. If a creature with divine power in its body is entered by these little guys, it will die because the divine power will dry up in an instant, and not only will there not be a single or two flesh left on the corpse, but it will also be as black as coal, which is why we call it a black skull. ”

When the butterfly heard this, she wiped the cold sweat on her forehead in fear, and said happily: "Hey, your grandfather's, fortunately, Uncle Ben was almost sucked dry, and he was not in bed." Alas, why didn't you say it earlier, but we were your guests. ”

Speaking of later, the drama butterfly honestly and unceremoniously counted the black-robed people. Unknowingly, I walked around outside the ghost gate, and few people would be insensitive and excited.

"Hehe", the snake-headed black-robed man smiled coldly and said, "If you can't even solve this little trouble, then you are not worthy of being a guest of my lord." ”

"You!" the drama butterfly pointed at the snake-headed black-robed man, trembling with anger, and was speechless all of a sudden.

However, before he could scold his words, Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly asked with a solemn face: "Is that just as long as the flow of divine power is blocked, it's okay." ”

The rat-headed black-robed man smiled: "Hehehe, you are really a smart person." That's right, as long as the divine power is blocked, anyone will become an inedible stone for them, and they will naturally be safe. But if you have to walk in this desert for a long time, these small sand-like insects will inevitably fly into your mouth, nose and ears. Don't blame me for not reminding you, their sensitivity to divine power is far beyond your imagination. ”

Although he said this with a smile, the threat in his voice was already overflowing.

As if this wasn't scary enough, the rat-headed black-robed man paused and continued: "But if you don't use divine power at all, unless you have a teleportation array, you won't be able to get out of this desolate Gobi Desert with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles. Not only is no one without food, but even the severe cold of the night, which can freeze your body into granite in a moment, will quickly kill you. So..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaoyu continued with a solemn face: "So, this seems to be a vast and hideout place in the Great Gobi Desert is actually a big prison that cannot be entered. Without you jailers, we wouldn't have been able to escape. ”

At this moment, the twelve zodiac signs all let out a low and hoarse laugh, and they seemed to like Jiang Xiaoyu's intelligence and self-knowledge.

Hearing this, the Drama Butterfly, who was still angry, suddenly fell silent, and the faces of the First Heavenly Emperor and the Wooden Swordsman, who had not spoken all the time, were even more cold, and they didn't know what to think again.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyu's face suddenly showed a relaxed smile. He is a person who likes to laugh, and even if it is a big thing for him, it is only a passing moment, and he will never cut off his smiling face for a long time.

He believes that there are many difficult things in the world, and as long as you keep smiling and smiling, you can always find a solution. Just like at this time, his mind was a mess, and he couldn't think of a way.

But he firmly believes that laughing is the beginning of solving the problem.

Seeing his smile, the black-robed man with the rat head asked suspiciously, "What are you laughing at? Have you thought of a way to escape from this Gobi Desert?"

Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "Of course not, this is really a natural cage, an excellent place to imprison people." ”

The rat-headed black-robed man seemed to be interested, and continued to ask, "Then why are you laughing?"

The corners of Jiang Xiaoyu's mouth curved slightly, and said: "This is a place where people are closed, not a place where people are killed, so won't we be able to die in a short time? In this world, as long as we can live one more day, it is worth being happy." Besides, I have a feeling that we will not be able to live one more day. In that case, why can't you laugh?"

The rat-headed black-robed man nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, you really should laugh." However, if you want to laugh again, let's wait until we are in the house. ”

Jiang Xiaoyu looked around at the empty surroundings, suddenly realized, and sighed: "What a clever illusion enchantment, I didn't even notice it in the slightest. ”

The rat-headed black-robed man smiled proudly, didn't say anything more, just took out four round black wood tokens from his arms and handed them to Jiang Xiaoyu and the four of them, and then walked straight forward.

As soon as he took a step, there was a sudden tremor like water ripples around him, and his whole body immediately seemed to be falling into the water, without a trace.

Following him, Jiang Xiaoyu and others rushed in.

"Sure enough, there is something else. Jiang Xiaoyu had just stepped in, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his body suddenly warmed up, looking at the magnificent mansion in front of him, and sighed.

As soon as he finished speaking, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded randomly.

"Haha, welcome guests, please come in, the Lord and the other guests have been waiting for a long time. An old man who looked like a subordinate greeted him with a smile.

Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the plaque on the door behind him, and the four gilded characters were impressive.

Haunted Mansion Land!

What a domineering and treacherous name.
