This figure is none other than Maeve.

She floated in the air, beyond the barriers of fog and space, and as long as Xu Shen looked up, he could see her.

Anywhere.

In the foggy world that Morwe found himself in at the moment, Maeve was still like a lighthouse.

But she is not a "lighthouse" condensed by Xu Shen in the secret art, but can only be regarded as a bright light that will never be extinguished in the deep voyage.

And Xu Shen needs to condense his own lighthouse.

What is a lighthouse?

For the lost of the Fog Man, the lighthouse is the only refuge and the only light.

Xu Shen suddenly saw the fog churning in front of him, and there seemed to be something to be revealed inside, and then, through Mo Wei's vision, Xu Shen saw a dark hut emerging from the fog.

The house was not big, but it was pitch black, and the doors and windows were closed.

Through one of the windows, a faint warm light could be seen in it, as if a candle had been lit.

Is that...... Family.

Home is my beacon...

Xu Shen felt the familiarity and warmth that he hadn't seen for a long time, and couldn't help but want to walk over.

Mo Wei's figure walked towards "home" in the fog.

Soon, it came to the doorstep.

Looking at the closed door, Mo Wei raised his hand and knocked lightly.

There was no movement.

So Mo Wei used more force.

Still unresponsive.

Mo Wei knocked on the door for the third time, and this time the knock was like a hammer slamming the door.

The closed door finally moved, loosening slightly.

Then there was a click, and the door opened.

A familiar face appeared from the inside, with a little surprise and joy, looking at Mo Wei at the door, and then his eyes extended, and he saw Xu Shen standing alone on the roof of the building outside the fog, and his eyes became gentle and joyful: "You have found a home." ”

"yes......"

Xu Shen muttered softly.

Got it......

Family.

The home in front of him was the beacon he had built in the mist.

At the invitation of "Mom", Mo Wei in the fog walked into the house and saw many familiar faces inside, which made Xu Shen feel quite cordial.

He lingered for a moment, then came out of the house, and continued his way through the mist.

No matter how far he goes, when Xu Shen thinks about it, he will see that hut appear in the mist.

It was a beacon that would always be there for him.

The fourth layer of the secret technique "Mist" given by Nan Ning was actually completed.

When Mo Wei returned to his side, Xu Shen also came to his senses, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised, from the perspective of secret arts, there was no doubt that he had broken through the third stage and entered the lighthouse level.

He didn't feel like he had much effort.

Is it that you are too strong?

Xu Shen guessed that it might be related to the previous Yono attack in the inner city.

He cut off the illusionary world brought by the mental cage, broke out of the cocoon and was reborn, and his spiritual power leaped to a new level, which led to him being able to build his own lighthouse so smoothly and easily.

During this time, he found that Mo Wei's body had become extremely real, and the contours of his face were becoming more and more like himself.

Listening to the words of the old man beside Nan Ning, entering the lighthouse steps is a prerequisite for becoming a king.

The rest, it's up to luck.

I don't know the abyss of the fifth stage...... What is the situation?

Xu Shen gathered his thoughts, drew his sword on the roof of the building and practiced the secret technique of stacking waves for a while, and now he has already been able to master the double sword slash, but if he wants to impact the triple sword slash, the difficulty has increased more than ten times.

It takes faster, more furious power.

When he was tired from cultivating, Xu Shen went back to his room to rest.

Maeve didn't stay with her, but turned around and walked out of the wall with her little hands behind her back and went outside to play.

Maeve occasionally finds some fun of her own, and Xu Shen has long been accustomed to it.

He lay directly on the bed in his armor, and fell asleep in a posture that could fight back at any time.

In his sleep, Xu Shen had a dream.

In his dream, he felt a slight tingling pain coming from his temples, and when he woke up and opened his eyes, he saw an electric magnetic light passing through the corners of his eyes, ejecting irregularly into the room, tearing apart the surroundings.

Immediately after that, the world in which he lived was like an old pictorial, and the faded paint was torn off by the electric light, revealing another scene.

He lay on the familiar white hospital bed, and the room was empty.

Xu Shen was shocked, got out of bed and walked outside.

The hallways were empty, too.

He ran along the empty hallway, and after running for a long time, he saw a familiar figure on the lawn downstairs, it was the Night Rat King.

But his outfit was different from before, wearing a white coat and looking like a doctor.

Around him, there are many figures in hospital gowns, playing house-to-house games.

With a mysterious banter and a smile on his eyebrows, the Night Rat King communicated with these patients, and suddenly, he also followed them hand in hand and circled in place, singing mysterious songs...... It's like being infected by a patient.

Wrong.

Xu Shen's pupils shrank, covered his head and shook it.

Hasn't he erased the influence of the cage of the mind?

Go home......

Such a thought came to Xu Shen's mind, and suddenly, a collapsing black hole appeared in the corridor beside him.

Countless chills gathered in the black hole, and Xu Shen felt cold, but this cold made his mind clearer.

He saw a house appear in the crumbling cracks, and the door inside was open.

Is that...... Family.

The lighthouse that has just been built will be active here, which is enough to show that everything in front of you is an illusion!

Xu Shen hurriedly ran over.

When he stepped out, Xu Shen faintly heard some calls in his ears, and many medical staff rushed to the scene, their faces full of horror and anxiety, shouting: "Don't jump ......"

But those voices were far away from themselves.

The body crossed the cracks of collapse, as if stepping into the air and falling into the dark abyss.

Xu Shen woke up suddenly like drowning and suffocating, and suddenly turned over from the bed and sat up.

In front of you, there is a hotel room.

A slight chill hit with a cold wind, Xu Shen looked up and saw that the window was not closed tightly, and the fog outside poured in with the cold wind.

And in the midst of the mist, the door of the lighthouse looms.

Xu Shen breathed a sigh of relief, it was indeed a dream.

However, this also means that there are still some traces of the spiritual cage in his heart.

"After a long time, it should automatically dissipate, after all, it is only the subconscious remnant of the dream now......"

Xu Shen's eyes flickered, after building the lighthouse, his spiritual power stepped onto a new level, and he was able to completely control and suppress this negative influence.

Looking at the time, it was still late at night, and Maeve had already returned, and fell asleep at her feet.

Xu Shen immediately did not delay any longer and continued to sleep.

And in the middle of the night.

Mother Emperor District, inside the Snow Palace.

In a hidden building, a slender and graceful figure is lying on a large bed several meters wide, wearing a soft silk as thin as a cicada's wings, and the hazy moonlight shines in through the window, penetrating the layers of fog and bringing a soft moonlight.

The woman who was sleeping suddenly opened her eyes.

In the cool night, these eyes shimmer like autumn water, like the double edges of scissors.

Then she suddenly rolled over and sat up, lifting her pillowcase.

This is a huge jade pillow, covered with several layers of soft satin and cotton pillowcases, but at this moment on the corner jade of the pillow, there are fine words emerging.

The text is distorted, and it seems that it is some kind of handwriting that has been almost lost.

And at this moment, under the gaze of the queen ant, there seemed to be a pair of invisible hands on this jade pillow, carving.

Slow, crooked handwriting, one by one, emerges.

The queen looked intently, and when the handwriting was no longer engraving, her expression froze.

……

……

Time flies.

Four days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Shen is also about to return from the Nightingale area to report to the queen ant.

Before leaving, he met with the Night Rat King, reassured of the terms of cooperation, and agreed that Xu Shen would reply to the false information provided by the queen ant.

The two guards are a greeting gift.

Xu Shen thought of the two who had come to the Black Light Zone earlier.

He returned to the Black Light Zone, this time he did not hide his whereabouts, and as soon as he returned, he gathered the members of the Black Light Sect, but there was nothing wrong with this gathering, Xu Shen's purpose was just to let the potential eyeliner know that he had returned from the Nightingale Zone exploration.

Then Xu Shen asked Lou Haiyin to arrange the vehicle, and he went to the Mother Emperor District alone.

In front of the Snow Palace, Xu Shen got out of the car.

Led by a secret guard, they came to the council chamber.

Dressed in silver armor, the queen looks heroic and is reviewing the intelligence of the districts.

Nasephone served beside her like a maid, and when she saw Xu Shen walk in, she gave him a meaningful look.

Xu Shen didn't care, saluted respectfully, and then reported the results of his visit in the Nightingale District.

Xu Shen naturally didn't report it truthfully, after all, it is also possible to hide the eyeliner of the Night Rat King here, or it is not possible, but it must be.

Of the information provided, there was only information on a few stations.

Night Rat King's lair? I don't know.

The high wall of the West End? I explored, but I didn't see any movement.

The small movements of the Night Rat King, after inquiring, I heard that it was out of the wall.

Several pieces of information were discussed by Xu Shen with the Night Rat King, true or false.

As for the several intelligence stations, they were abandoned locations, and the personnel in the intelligence stations did not receive notice and news, so they waited for the queen ant to get the information and send someone to encircle and suppress it.

Seeing that Xu Shen had found out so much information in just a few days, Nasephone's eyes showed a little surprise, but she didn't expect Xu Shen to really find out a lot of things, you know, the Nightingale District is the territory of the Night Rat King.

It was not easy for Xu Shen to come back alive.

However, according to Xu Shen's information, he also counted the shit luck, and it happened that the time when the Night Rat King went out of the wall had passed.

Otherwise, when the Night Rat King comes back, Xu Shen's life will not be enough to die.

After all, no matter how well it is hidden, in the eyes of the king who walks in the deep ruin realm, it is no different from taking off his pants and farting.

"This night rat king should be going to move the rescuers."

Nasephone waited for Xu Shen to finish her report, then turned to the queen ant and said.

The queen's expression did not fluctuate, she just stared at Xu Shen from beginning to end, her eyes were calm, but she seemed to be able to spy on people's hearts, making people dare not look at her.

"Well done."

After a while, the queen ant spoke, "Do you have any strategy for this war at present?" ”
