"Is this the shrine?"

Looking at the treacherous place where the fog was churning not far away, Su Mo's face was full of surprise.

Although he had been mentally prepared for the shrine to be destroyed in the great battle before he came.

But what he actually saw was still much more than he expected.

The boundless mist, which seemed to merge with the night, completely obscured the place where the shrine was located.

There is an unimaginable amount of resentment.

From time to time, a terrifying-looking grimace will be condensed.

Many grimaces roared silently, as if pouring out their pain and hatred.

There seemed to be a whisper in Su Mo's ears, calling him to go inside.

"Humph!"

Su Mo snorted coldly, and the hidden sneaky power was dispersed on the spot.

Even the many grimaces that floated and sank in the mist collapsed in an instant.

"It seems that the cataclysm left countless aftermaths."

Su Mo's eyes shimmered slightly, and his surging spiritual power rushed forward like a wave.

In just an instant, a huge gap was opened in the area covered by the mist.

The ruins hidden beneath it were immediately revealed.

However, before Su Mo stepped in.

Soon, in the farther depths, a large area of dark fog turned into a wall of fog and rolled in, filling all the gaps in an instant.

"Interestingly, it seems that this is not just the resentment of the original group of dead.

There are also richer and deeper sources.

If the source is not addressed, it will be difficult to clean up these fogs completely. ”

Thinking of this, Su Mo didn't hesitate too much and walked straight forward.

He had only come to find the Holy Lord on this trip, and he didn't have to clear the fog here.

Although the spiritual power is strong, it is not endless.

Until you find a better way to clean it up, there's no need to fight with these fogs.

With Su Mo's step, the spiritual barrier separated itself from a barrier with a radius of five meters around it.

Within five meters, the field of vision is thorough, and there is no fog.

He began to wander through the ruins of the shrine, carefully searching for the Holy Lord who might have landed here.

Earlier, when he was fighting off the mist, he had seen a part of the temple's structure.

Ahead is a long corridor of stone steps, and at the end of the corridor is a square.

At the back of the square, you can faintly see the ruins of a magnificent building.

Apparently that was the main hall of the shrine.

Su Mo walked all the way forward, observing his surroundings as he walked.

The stone steps that have gone through the years have nothing to show for it, except for some barren grass and moss.

On the contrary, the beautiful corridor has mostly collapsed, and the floor is littered with trivial bricks and red pillars.

Some of the pillars even have a lot of white bones pressed underneath.

Apparently they were all villagers who did not escape on the day of the festival.

In addition, there are still indigenous people living in this ruin.

Su Mo snapped his fingers casually.

A crooked pillar not far away, along with a red-clothed Yin corpse hidden behind, instantly shattered into powder.

"This kind of place, if there are no weirdness, then there is a problem."

Su Mo's figure jumped up, smashed a head that was about to emerge in front of him, and floated forward like a dragonfly.

After killing a few strange monsters that didn't have long eyes, Su Mo soon came to the square at the end of the stone steps.

The square looks huge, and it can accommodate thousands of people.

Presumably, this is where the festival goers.

Compared to the corridor under the square, there are relatively few corpses here.

Obviously, when the catastrophe broke out, many villagers took advantage of the chaos to escape.

After Su Mo roughly checked the square, except for solving some strange monsters that were not smart enough, he didn't find the Holy Lord.

It stands to reason that the chances of the Holy Lord appearing here are the greatest.

After all, this thing is going to be used on the Zhengyi.

If there is a cataclysm at the scene, the Holy Lord should be the most likely sacrifice vessel to fall here.

As a result, not only have the sacrificial vessels not been found, but even the remains of the high priest have not been found.

Could it be that the high priest also managed to escape like Han Poyu?

Su Mo's gaze couldn't help but look at the large area of building ruins that loomed in front of the square.

However, he didn't wait to go deeper into the ruins.

Suddenly, he heard a small muffled grunt coming from the lower left corner of the square.

Su Mo's footsteps stagnated slightly, and then the whole person turned into a streamer and swept towards that place at a high speed.

……

"Boom!"

The sound of a fierce explosion suddenly came from the ground.

It was the sound of a boulder falling onto a pillar and smashing.

Flying wood chips and rocks splattered everywhere, each with great power.

Among the many debris, a figure was agile and dodged in all directions.

Xue Lansu avoided these many hidden weapons, and the whole person was a little miserable.

Before she came, she naturally knew that this strange realm was extremely dangerous.

And her original plan was to use this danger to stop the pursuers behind her and do something to drive the tiger and the wolf.

Cautiously marching all the way here, there was no danger of escaping the pursuer.

However, just as she was about to find another way to escape.

But the monsters suddenly rioted.

A large number of strange creatures sprang in all directions like frightened insects, and at first glance they looked like they were fleeing.

This scene stunned Xue Lansu.

And she soon realized that this must be an unknown change in the treacherous domain here.

I think of a moment before when the fog dissipated a lot, maybe it had something to do with that incident.

Xue Lansu chose to retreat rationally, ready to avoid the changes inside like the strange things around her.

However, only a few of the weirdos have sanity.

After seeing her, a big living person, some strange people abandoned and ran after her, trying to swallow her.

Xue Lansu almost laughed angrily.

This time, she finally understood what it meant to "die for money, and birds die for food".

But no matter how angry she was or how aggrieved she was, she had to find a way to face the dilemma in front of her.

Resist and escape.

The monsters chasing her around are almost all 5th or 6th order.

If there were only one or two, it would be enough, and a large group would come over, even if it was her 6th order limit, it would be difficult to support it.

Not to mention that there may be a powerful trick hidden in the dark.

Distracted in his heart, the situation fell into disadvantage in an instant.

At the critical juncture, Xue Lansu took out the True Source Pill, and was ready to fight for the last time and fight for a way out.

However, just as she was about to swallow the elixir, a red flame suddenly burst out from the square.

After flying, it immediately turned into a rain of fire meteors, piercing into every monster around it with precision.

Those monsters didn't even have time to snort, and they all vaporized on the spot and dissipated.

Xue Lansu watched the dilemma in front of her be solved in an instant, and she almost didn't react for a while.

"I didn't expect to meet in this place, don't come unharmed, Lord Xue Ling."

With a clear laugh, Su Mo slowly approached.

Looking at Su Mo, who appeared in the thick fog, Xue Lansu did not show any surprise on his face, but instead clasped the True Source Pill in his hand and asked with a vigilant face:

"You've been haunting me all the way, what the hell do you want to do?!"

When Su Mo heard this, his expression couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He asked rhetorically with a little surprise:

"You've met my mirror person?"

Xue Lan Sufeng's eyes narrowed, and she was still vigilant:

"What evidence do you have that you are Su Mo himself?"

"Evidence? Does this count as evidence? ”

Su Mo took out the Concentration Guide:

"And if I really wanted to do you badly, I didn't need to save you just now."

Xue Lansu's face softened slightly.

Then she asked a few more passwords agreed upon before entering the secret realm, and Su Mo answered them all fluently.

It was only at this time that Xue Lansu believed that it was him, and said with a wry smile:

"Don't blame me for being so nervous, I really suffered a big loss not long ago.

I thought those mirrors didn't have any intelligence, only instinct.

As a result, your mirror man almost hit me on the spot.

After that, I chased all the way here, and it wasn't until I finally got rid of it just now. ”

When Su Mo heard this, he was a little puzzled:

"But I had already blocked out the power of replication when I came in, so why could it still imitate me so vividly?"

Xue Lansu shook his head and said:

"Actually, in hindsight, my imitation is not very clever, but full of many mistakes and omissions, mainly because the two of us have just met, so it is easy to be fooled."

Su Mo instantly understood.

I was about to explain the current situation to her again.

Suddenly, he turned his head to look to his right.

Seeing this, Xue Lansu also looked over with some surprise.

Then I saw a familiar figure slowly revealing in the thick fog.

"I thought you kid was lucky not to run into me.

I didn't expect it to be my luck in the end.

How about it, do you want to cooperate with me to do an autopsy?

I promise to cut you beautifully. ”

In the face of Su Mo's playful teasing, the mirror person opposite just stared at him expressionlessly.

Su Mo shrugged his shoulders, turned his head and said to Xue Lansu on the side:

"It seems that you are really not familiar with me, and I can't put on a dead fish face like his."

"To be honest, even if you pretend to be me, you dare to lower other people's evaluation of me, you are really innocent!"

Seeing that the mirror man was about to rush up and launch an attack, Su Mo's right hand shook violently in the air.

There was a loud bang, as if a big hand was clenched violently, and the whole mirror image was pinched and exploded on the spot.

In the scattered jet-black clouds, Su Mo suddenly sensed some very fresh memory fragments.

It was the memory of the Mirror Man after it was formed, and it was only a memory of less than a day.

There are many pictures in which Xue Lansu's figure can be seen.

There are even fight scenes.

Su Mo didn't care much about this originally.

But when his perception passed through one of the images, a sudden startled sound came out of his mouth.

In the memories of the mirror man, he lost his target when he was chasing Xue Lansu in the middle.

He looked around for a trace, and stumbled into an alley paved with flowers.

After turning around, at the end of the narrow alley of flowers, he saw a small courtyard.

In the small courtyard sat a headless halfling man who was missing a small half of his body.

As if sensing the arrival of the mirror man, he turned around, as if to look at the outside world.

The Mirror Man confronted him for a moment, then quietly chose to retreat and leave.

And just as he was leaving, the headless halfling stood up sharply, as if trying to chase it out.

In the end, he still didn't take a step, and stood still for a long time.

This scene naturally looks quite eerie.

However, this was not enough to surprise Su Mo.

What really made him feel unbelievable.

In the right hand of the headless halfling man was a bronze wine vessel.

There is a stream in front, a sharp tail in the back, a cup in the middle, a puff on one side, a three-legged bottom, and a column when the flow and the mouth of the cup.

There is no doubt that this is the Saint Lord he longed for in his heart!

I didn't expect it to be there.

After Su Mo looked at it carefully, he immediately confirmed the authenticity of the Holy Lord.

Because of the headless halfling who holds the Holy Lord.

The vestments that remained of him were the shape of the robes of the high priest.

If nothing else, this is the head of the Chen family, the last high priest of the Chen family, Chen Chuyan!

After confirming the specific location of the Holy Lord, Su Mo did not delay any longer and immediately began to leave.

On the way, he explained the relevant situation to Xue Lansu.

Including the twelve talismans, greeting the Holy Maiden, finding the Holy Lord and so on.

Xue Lansu was only extremely shocked that Su Mo and they were able to advance the ritual to such a point.

After all, it's only been less than a day since they came in.

In such a short period of time, you have to deal with the strange things inside, and you have to look for clues about the festival again.

The pace of action has been far beyond her imagination.

And in the chatting with questions and answers along the way, the two soon came to the alley covered with flowers.

Seeing this alley, Xue Lansu's expression immediately became extremely solemn.

Su Mo naturally knew the reason for the change in her face.

Before entering, they had five precautions, one of which was to avoid flower-lined alleys.

No one knows what the danger is there.

Even if he read the memory of the mirror person, Su Mo couldn't make any guarantees.

After all, mirrors aren't really human after all.

The dangers hidden in the alleys may or may not only work for humans.

He had unparalleled confidence in himself.

But he didn't want Xue Lansu to risk the unknown to enter with him.

In the end, the two decided that Su Mo would enter the investigation alone, and Xue Lansu would respond in the outside world in case of emergency.

After the plan was decided, Su Mo walked towards the alley.

The moment his footsteps fell, he felt as if he had entered a colorful world.

The sun is shining, the surrounding vegetation is clustered, the birds are chirping, and you can faintly smell the rich fragrance of flowers.

From time to time, there was a silver bell-like laughter in the distance, and I saw a child laughing on the grass with excitement on his face, running around, unrestrained, innocent and cute.

Not far behind her, stood a young couple.

The man is handsome, and the woman is gentle.

They looked at the children running on the grass with warm smiles on their faces.

It seems that the family is happy, but it is not harmonious.

Su Mo watched this scene silently, and then took a step forward.

The picture in front of me suddenly shattered.
