After all, those Hu merchants were just ordinary people, and the desert was bitter cold at night, and when they were trekking in the desert, they suddenly saw a small city under the moon, and they thought about going in to rest for a while. But this city is strange, and it is impossible to get close. There was the one who hit by mistake, and he disappeared without a trace.

At that time, people believed in ghosts and gods, so many times, they naturally stayed away from this place, and this place became the legendary terrifying devil city.

But Xiao Lingjiang knew that this was just someone playing tricks.

It's like a mirage in front of you.

The silver moonlight sprinkled down, and the quaint town was located in the silver desert, which looked desolate.

However, Xiao Lingjiang stared at the rapidly flowing sand under his feet, and was distracted.

But in a moment, the surging quicksand was buried in the calf, and Pei You, who was on the side, saw this and reached out to hug her to his side.

"Be careful."

The two of them stood firm for less than two breaths, and the quicksand wrapped around as if it were alive.

Xiao Lingjiang's eyes moved: "Look, this quicksand is still chasing after you." ”

"Get out of the way, if you really get stuck in the quicksand, it's dangerous." Nie Yin had encountered this situation before, the quicksand here was surging extremely fast, and ordinary people stood here, with almost no place to rest.

"It's kind of interesting." Xiao Lingjiang's eyes were slightly deep, and he looked up at Pei You, "Do you think there is anything strange?" ”

Pei You looked at the Devil's City not far away, and then looked at the quicksand under his feet, and his voice was also a little clear: "Mirage, quicksand, these two things appear at the same time, but if this is the case again and again, it will be unusual." ”

Listening to what Nie Yin said, he and those Hu merchants who had seen Devil City had all encountered quicksand here.

Due to the influence of certain weather and celestial phenomena, it is not surprising that the Devil's City Mirage only appears within a fixed range on a full moon night in winter.

It's strange that when the mirage appears, there is always quicksand surging around?

The mirage is just an illusory image, although it can confuse people's minds, but it does not have the ability to give birth to quicksand killing. And this desert quicksand is even more unpredictable, how can it appear in the same place so often?

"Weird, weird......" After listening to his explanation, Nie Yin also reacted, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, it seems that this mirage is really extraordinary." As the princess just said, if it is really an ordinary mirage, it should not be accompanied by such a heavy killing machine when it appears. Could it be that someone deliberately set it up? ”

As for who......

Needless to say, he is the one who doesn't want others to set foot in the Devil's City.

He looked at Xiao Lingjiang and asked, "According to the princess and the prince, what should we do next?" ”

Xiao Lingjiang shook his head slightly: "In this situation, I really don't know how to break it for a while." If you want to break the trick, you must first see the situation clearly. In that case, why don't you wade into this quicksand first? ”

Nie Yin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Boom...... Wading through this quicksand? "This is a fatal killing machine, Princess Yong'an sounds like she is wading into a shallow water.

Before he could react, he saw that the two of them in front of him had already jumped hand in hand into the quicksand.

However, these two people, one is a wizard who is proficient in occult arts, and the other is a master of unparalleled kendo, although this surging quicksand is full of murderous opportunities, but the two of them can't help it.

Looking at the figures of the two of them coming and going freely in the quicksand, Nie Yin felt embarrassed, and he also cheered up and jumped into the quicksand again.

Devil's Town, said to be a city, but it's not that big. Leaping in the quicksand, Xiao Lingjiang and the others quickly walked around the small city.

At this time, the silver moon hanging high in the sky gradually moved westward, and the devil's city in the desert also became faint.

Nie Yin's eyes were a little anxious: "It's not good, the Devil City is about to disappear." ”

If they miss this opportunity, they will have to wait at least another month, but whether they can see this devil city next time is not necessarily. If you miss the winter, you'll have to wait nearly a year.

Xiao Lingjiang waved his hand: "Don't worry." ”

Although she spent some time on this lap, it was not in vain. The quicksand under his feet is constantly surging, as if he is going to drown people in the middle at any time, but after looking around, he knows that this sand is also a formation.

In the desert, the most and least noticed is sand. With quicksand as a formation and a killing machine, you can strangle people while they are unprepared, leaving no trace.

This is a quicksand formation, but it is only the first layer of the killing array.

Just now, Xiao Ling Jiang and Pei You circled around the Devil's City, although they were too close to enter, but it confirmed the guess in her heart that this scene was not a mirage.

Looking at the mirage, you can only see one side of it, but it is difficult to see the whole picture. Just ask, which mirage can show the original of the real thing when viewed from the front and back, left and right?

If her guess is correct, after the quicksand killing array, there should be a hidden array. Like the hidden mountain array of the Xuanmen, this array covers the devil's city, and others can't see it or enter it.

It's just that in the end, limited by the celestial phenomena, the devil's city still occasionally shows its form.

Even if there is already a formation, it is difficult for others to approach, but there are many people who come to explore, and the shrine is still afraid that someone will accidentally bump into this place, so it has set up a quicksand formation to block the footsteps that want to get close to here.

After figuring out this, Xiao Ling Jiang solemnly condensed, nodded to the two Xuanshi and said: "I will enter the formation, except for the prince and Nie Xiashi, you will also follow, and the rest of the people will stay in the formation for the time being." ”

With that, she pinched the trick in her hand, her body got up, and she took mysterious steps towards the quicksand.

Pei You, Nie Yin and the others followed closely behind, and the size and direction of their steps were the same as hers.

Quicksand surged past their feet. But what surprised Nie Yin was that the quicksand did not entangle as before, and he wanted to pull people into the sand immediately, but it was really like a smooth shoal current, and a group of people jumped over unconsciously.

When Xiao Lingjiang finally stood still, Nie Yin couldn't help but exhale softly.

The sand beneath your feet is soft and flat, but the feeling of flow under your feet is gone.

Nie Yin knew that the quicksand array had passed!

In front of him is the Devil's City, which has become a little transparent, and it can be seen that the hidden array has not been broken.

Xiao Lingjiang raised his head, at this time, the moon wheel was slanting westward, thinking that the full moon would be hidden in a short time.

The bright moonlight shines on the vast desert, the silver glow is like a veil, the desert is like snow, and it is a good scenery.

But Xiao Lingjiang knew that this moonlight and this desert were just another layer of tricks.

"Now that time is pressing, the hidden array is a big array, and you need your help to break this array." With that, she pulled out the light saber at her waist, pinched the trick in her left hand, held the sword in her right hand, and flipped her wrist, and already drew a sigil with the long sword.

"Gather!" With her order, the rest of the people all took out their long swords and stood in different directions, countering the tip of the light-containing sword.

Where the five long swords converged, the sigil hanging in the void slowly opened.

Xiao Lingjiang's eyes condensed slightly, and he pinched the trick in his left hand and threw a few runes one after another on it, the light of the rune rose sharply, and he gave another order: "Go!" ”

Several people raised their swords at the same time and pointed at the moon, and the light followed the sword body and went straight to the bright moon.

In an instant, the wind subsided, the sand was quiet, and there was no movement around the dead silence, only the moonlight above the head.

There seemed to be a crack cracking, and something seemed to fall apart at that moment. Immediately afterward, the wind blew and the sand moved, and everything returned to normal.

But at that moment, everyone felt that all this was different from before.

The night breeze blew, raising a slight sand mist.

Looking back, the people waiting outside the quicksand array were gone. And in front of them, the quaint city is standing silently......
