Chapter 39: Nightmares
Qi Huai opened his eyes.
The dark and narrow tent silently appeared with a lilac mist.
"Interesting."
Qi Huai muttered softly, a smile rising at the corner of his mouth.
He didn't make any moves, otherwise he would stir up the fog, reveal his identity, and alarm the person in the shadows.
Yes, this is a natural risk, and it is also man-made.
However, the person hiding in the dark couldn't even imagine that he actually had a shadow to use.
Even in the dark zone, Qi Huai's shadow still exists.
The shadow scurried out of the tent without a sound, and soon the entire valley was explored, but nothing unusual was found.
He saw the extinguished fire, and he saw the people who had fallen into the nightmare.
The mist appears to contain toxins, and when inhaled, people hallucinate.
Hallucinations construct a real world in the mind, drawing out the deepest desires of each person's heart and causing them to sink into it.
Whether it was Gu Xiaoran in the Tinder Realm or Zhang Xuanji in the True Blood Realm, they didn't have any power to resist.
Even they didn't notice it in the slightest.
After all, it's normal to have a dream while you're asleep.
It's just that if you can't wake up from this dream, you'll end up like you're the living dead.
And the illusion has no effect on Qi Huai at all.
When he was in the Jade Ding Realm, he used to forge his body with poison, and the various poisonous herbs and poisonous pills he ate were much more terrifying than the current fog.
Qi Huai has long been evil and evil, and all poisons will not invade.
The mist entered his body, and even the younger brother was not qualified to be a little brother, and he had to take two hits.
"The nightmare produced by this lilac mist is similar to the peach tree in the Mirror Flower Forest, but it is much stronger in power, I don't know if the two are of the same origin."
The short-term nightmare did not have some irreversible effects on Xiao Ran, so Qi Huai was not in a hurry to save people.
His shadow found nothing in the valley, and immediately stopped staying and went out of the valley.
Qi Huai was chasing the source of the fog, and presumably the person in the dark should also be there.
He was very curious about this person.
Before leaving the Great Wall, no one had ever mentioned that there were other people living in the wilderness, whether it was Wu Zhenhai or Huang Pei.
And along the way, they did not meet anyone else, let alone find any traces of human existence.
Qi Huai always thought that there were only demon beasts outside the Great Wall.
But now it seems that this is clearly not the case.
And why did this man poison them?
This is also a mystery.
If this is the case, then did the three Cave Xuan Realm elders who came out before also inhale the mist and fall into a nightmare forever?
All of this will not be known until Qi Huai finds that person.
Of course.
Most likely, there is another scenario.
What he found... It's not human at all.
Qi Huai's shadow speed is very fast, and it takes less than a cup of tea to rush by thirty or fifty miles.
Soon, at the end of his line of sight, a strange flower appeared.
This flower is unusually large, several feet high, petal-like like a lotus, surrounded by dozens of emerald green leaves.
The lilac mist is coming from the petals.
The flower seems to be alive, and the huge petals are like hearts, constantly beating every once in a while.
Each beating is accompanied by a massive amount of fog gushing out.
When Qi Huai's shadow came closer, after careful observation, he found that the earth was broken, and the rhizome of the flower was buried deep in the ground.
Moreover, there are hundreds of strange straight lines on the dozens of huge emerald green leaves, and there is no arrangement law at all, which can be described as horizontal and vertical.
On one of the leaves, coiled a snake the thickness of an arm.
The snake is green all over, and it is very similar to the color of the leaves, as if it is one and the same.
If you don't look closely, most people are afraid that they will simply ignore the past.
"It's really not human." Qi Huai muttered, surprised.
"Could it be that this fog is not man-made, but that the flower tossed it out of itself?"
He began to doubt his previous speculation, but he always felt that something was wrong, and he was full of suspicions.
Qi Huai thought about it secretly for a while, and finally decided to solve the trouble first.
Otherwise, if this drags on for a while, Zhang Xuanji and the others will have to sleep to death.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated.
The shadow stepped back a distance, away from the strange flowers.
Immediately afterwards, behind the left side of the petals, another Qi Huai suddenly appeared silently.
It's just that this Qi Huai has a completely different appearance, with bronzed skin, looking like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.
Qi Huai habitually concealed his breath and did not attract the attention of any living beings.
It wasn't until he walked up to the big flowers that a pocket version of the three-legged golden crow appeared in his palm that they were alarmed.
The emerald green snake opened its eyes violently, revealing a strange pupil in it.
The reason why it is strange is because there is still an eye in the original snake pupil.
It's not double pupils or double pupils, it's just that an eye that doesn't belong to the snake at all appears.
Seeing this, Qi Huai suddenly realized.
"It turned out that my mind was controlled, so I said, I can see at a glance that you are not a snake!"
At the same time as the words fell, the three-legged golden black in his hand suddenly flapped its wings and flew away.
In the pupils that did not belong to the snake, there were terrified eyes, and he didn't care about any big flowers, so he quickly turned the snake's head and was about to flee.
It's a pity.
A three-legged one is definitely faster than one without a leg.
In the flash of fire, the snake had turned into a roasted snake, and there was not even a slight struggle.
And the three-legged golden crow did not burn out, carrying the remaining true fire, and slowly flew to the huge petals.
This big flower is obviously a spiritual thing, and it can't care about releasing fog anymore.
The straight lines on its leaves all opened in an instant, and all that was hidden under it were eyes.
Hundreds of eyes looked at Qi Huai together, emitting a demonic light that could confuse people's minds.
At the same time, the huge body suddenly danced, the earth trembled, and the rhizome pulled out of the ground and was about to run.
Being stared at by so many eyes, Qi Huai felt a chill in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
He had a phobia of densities and almost died of nausea.
Originally, I thought about breaking down the flower and seeing what I could exchange for.
But the scene in front of him directly made Qi Huai extinguish his thoughts.
With a wave of his big hand, the Heavenly Divine Fire instantly poured out, and countless sparks fell on every part of Dahua's body.
Suddenly.
The flames burned brightly, covering a wide area.
The flames rose into the sky, turning the dark sky crimson and scorching the cracked earth for a quarter of an hour.
When Qi Huai extinguished the Heavenly Divine Fire, there was nothing in front of him.
There was not even ash left of that flower.
As the demonic flower disappeared, the mist in the air gradually faded until it disappeared completely.
The source was cleaned up, and Qi Huai was ready to go back.
As for the person behind the control of the demon beast, he was not worried.
Since this person is hostile to the people of Shanhaiguan, he will not give up.
It's just that he won't have such good luck next time.
Then, Qi Huai's avatar left along the way he came, not knowing what to do.
And his shadow was on his way back to the valley.
Not much.
Qi Huai returned to the valley, and the fog had lifted.
However, everyone is still in the nightmare and has not woken up.
