Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Unknown World
"I can't find it, why can't I find it......"
Yiyi muttered, her eyes dark.
She tore through one spatial passage after another, crossing one region after another at great speed, and in the sky above the entire continent, in the perspective that mortals could not see, one after another profundity was slowly healing.
The smells, the imprints, the messages, all seem to be gone.
Before she returned to the demon village, she stood on top of the clearing for a long time.
In the end, she opened the space channel again, this time to the cosmic space.
……
Li Chen stepped on the ground that was gradually softening under his feet, and carefully moved his steps.
The ground is made of white and black, and as far as the eye can see, it is bare, without the breath of life, and there are no monsters and weirdness, as if there is nothing.
Unlike the gray and dirty land just now, the view here is extremely wide, and you can see far, far away.
Li Chen watched for a long time, walked for a long time, and finally, he locked onto a conspicuous black spot at the end of his field of vision.
He thought for a moment and decided to act, he couldn't move at such a slow pace, so he started running instead, increasing his speed to a considerable amount.
Such a mode does not consume much for him, but it can reach the destination as quickly as possible.
Then, in his blistering speed, he plunged headlong into an illusory portal......
……
The winding mountain road stretches all the way up from the foot of the mountain, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, sometimes difficult and sometimes easy, just like life.
Li Chen lay in the middle of the path at the top of the mountain, his body glowing with milky white, which was the self-healing phenomenon after taking the immortal medicine after being injured just now.
He coughed softly, pale golden blood staining his palms.
His brow furrowed tightly, and his eyes were full of doubt.
He was obviously running desperately towards the black dot in the distance, but he accidentally slipped into an illusory portal.
Once he entered the portal, he soared, and there was a blade of light in the dark void, and he desperately blocked it, and then fell into it.
It was full of the breath of life, there were trees everywhere, and birds were chirping, but Li Chen was a little afraid to accept it.
......
And at this time under the mountain.
A slightly wide avenue stretches out of nowhere, and it stretches crookedly into the distance, and this road is cleaner and cleaner than the ordinary dirt road, and the flowers and trees along the road do not intrude into the road in the slightest.
This shows that this road is not only passable, but also quite a few passers-through, and there may even be special personnel to maintain it.
Looking at this road, Zhang Feng's forehead had begun to secrete fishy sweat, which was not right at all.
Li Feng has been a guard in the Zhang family for eight years, step by step from a small guard, all the way to today's young lady's guard, and the surname of the Li family is not based on relationships, not bribes, but real materials and genuine skills.
The danger of this escort lady is actually measured in his heart, so he is very cautious, every time he crosses a defensive area, he will go to find the veteran in charge of the garrison to first understand the road conditions and itinerary of the next place, and then walk on the road to confirm with his mind, or ask the occasional exorcist, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
But ten days ago, the famous local veterans he asked told him plainly that this place should be an abandoned mountain road.
Yesterday he had confirmed it with an experienced exorcist, and it was still exactly the same as the old man's rhetoric.
The mountain road has long been abandoned, the evil is raging, and the last few villages have been moved, and the mountain road is untouched, and may have been blocked by flowers and trees.
If it was just like that, he would have made a judgment at the first moment of discovering the anomaly and retreated with the young lady.
But early this morning, when he took three guards to protect the young lady and stepped into this road, he did not notice anything unusual at all.
It wasn't until just now, entering the depths of this mountain road, that people seemed to wake up as if they had just woken up from a dream.
Not good! What the old man said was true, and he mentioned in passing: It is said that the mountain road has been entrenched by an evil head.
The five of them were all blinded, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed the anomaly, and the eldest lady and the three guards couldn't have been ignorant.
His gaze looked at Li Wanying, his eyes mixed with inquiry.
Li Wanying also seemed to notice it, shook her head gently, and remained silent.
Neither of them dared to act rashly, and they would not be so stupid as to turn around and run away, for fear that it would cause an accident and be even more dangerous.
It is important to know that demons and monsters can only be killed by legendary immortals.
Even if an existence as strong as an exorcist can only expel evil spirits, but cannot kill them, let alone ordinary people like them.
The only thing they can do is to take the opportunity to escape.
The other three guards apparently hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary, two of them whispering and laughing, and the other was looking around vigilantly, but he was blinded and didn't notice anything unusual at all.
Li Wanying didn't say anything to stop the whispers of the two guards, on the contrary, the more ignorant the two of them seemed to know, the safer the five of them became.
As we walked, the sun rose high to the west, and in another hour or two, the sky would be completely dark, and the demons at that time would also be active.
Li Wanying and Li Feng were also faintly anxious, looking around from time to time to find a way out, and the remaining three people also woke up an hour ago, if it was in the past, this hour should have been camped and rested, but today none of the people were willing to stop and rest.
"Ahem."
Li Feng's coughing voice attracted the attention of several people, and Li Wanying and several guards immediately noticed the path not far away, which was crooked into the jungle and seemed to be heading towards the top of the mountain.
Li Feng looked at him desperately, and his usual cooperation made the three guards instantly understand what he meant.
"Boom!"
Four big knives came out of the body at the same time, Li Feng stepped forward step by step, guarding Li Wanying's right, and the remaining three people protected the front, right, and back three parties, protecting Li Wanying in the center, Li Feng shouted: "Go!" ”
Several people immediately picked up their speed and quickly crossed the not too long mountain road to the side of the path.
As they moved, a pitch-black shadow danced in the middle of the road.
Its completely dark exterior was so conspicuous during the day that it instantly attracted the attention of five people.
Several people looked at it, all in a trance, and when Li Feng came back to his senses, the guards in front of Li Wanying had disappeared, as if no one existed there in the first place.
He broke out in a cold sweat and shouted:
"Run!"
The path was narrow and could not accommodate three people side by side, Li Feng rushed to the first place, put Li Wanying in the second place, and the remaining two guards were in third and fourth place respectively, and rushed quickly towards the top of the mountain along the path.
Li Wanying's heart was beating faster, her whole person was drenched in sweat, panting, and breathing the cold air at great speed, if she hadn't paid attention to exercise on weekdays and had a strong personality, maybe she would have been paralyzed to the ground a long time ago.
Evil, a mortal's nightmare, the evil of the world, mostly originated in the dark night ice field north of the road, a hundred years ago the people here did not even know whether the evil was true or false, until recent years, large-scale death, mutation made the people realize that the evil is real, but also desperate.
The Terrans have been forced by the evil to retreat back to the only great city.
The more you know, the more you are afraid, but when it comes to the word evil, a fragile life like a mortal has a survival rate of less than one in a thousand.
Li Wanying was ready to meet the legendary fairy god by chance, and she was naturally prepared to meet the evil ghost who demanded her life.
But the fear still couldn't be suppressed, and it was rising, and Li Wanying's heart was beating faster and faster.
She didn't want to die yet, the ghost sent a god, she turned her head to look, her eyes skimmed over the two guards, and looked at the intersection.
The two guards behind her also subconsciously looked back, and in an instant, the three of them were as if they were fascinated, not only stopped their steps to escape, but even began to turn around and walk back......
And Li Feng, who was at the front, realized that something was wrong as he ran, because the footsteps behind him were getting farther and farther away from him, you know, his speed was not fast at all, and it was even slower than usual, although the young lady's physique was not as good as him, there was no reason why he couldn't keep up, unless, unless, ......
Li Feng turned his head without hesitation, and saw that the young lady and the three guards were actually walking back slowly, and at the intersection of the mountain road, there was a dark shadow standing.
The shadow was very strange, like a pitch-black person, as if something was wrong, and the outline of the body seemed to be put together at random, revealing complete weirdness.
Li Feng's eyes only looked at the shadow, and a cold feeling came from the soles of his feet, as if something was about to invade his body, and his consciousness was actually blurred, and he was about to fall silent.
He roared angrily, masculine blood gushed out, and forced out the cold feeling, and he stepped out more than ten meters in one step, waving a big knife, and rushed over a few people to the black shadow.
If he wants to give it a go, he will never give up Miss, so he can only be hard, even if it doesn't work, he has to give it a try!
The big knife surged, bringing a breeze, this strong blow, if there was a person standing in front of him, I was afraid that he would be cut off by the waist, but the big knife slashed through the black shadow, but the black shadow did not even move, as if the big knife slashed into the water.
"Hee-hee-hee......"
A strange laugh came, and there were only two words entrenched in Li Feng's mind: It's over.
The black shadow surged, and the pitch-black "hand" waved, bringing up the Gang Gang Wind, before the "hand" arrived, the Gang Wind had already blown Li Feng in pain, and this blow was enough to kill him.
At this moment, a golden talisman rolled up a violent wind, whistling, and it swept from behind several people, and it exploded directly!
The infinite light lit up behind Li Feng in vain, and if the light was strong, it was so clear and bright in the daytime, as if it was the sun close at hand, with a divine aura, and the mountains, rocks and trees could not block its immersion, and it was illuminated brightly for a mile.
The pitch-black shadow roared in horror, it writhed, it wanted to retract its "tentacles", but the dancing "tentacles" quickly dissolved after touching the light, like improperly stored ice cream, turning into flowing black juice, and in the light, the firelight clinged to these sticky and disgusting black juices, burning them into pitch-black and fine dust.
The dust was scattered, and in an instant it was swept up by the inexplicable wind, and then disappeared completely.
The light seemed to have fulfilled its mission and began to fade away.
Several people at the scene glanced at each other, and the horror had not yet faded, and they were filled with surprise.
