Chapter 240: A Deadly Mirage
The demon beasts on the fifth layer were centaurs, and there were not many of them, and they were dealt with by everyone by dividing them by two, and then they rested on the fifth layer for a full night, and then stepped into the sixth layer.
Before entering the sixth layer, they stayed in front of the white mist for a long time. For the sixth layer, they don't have any confidence at all. I only know that there is an extremely terrifying sand demon on the sixth layer, and I don't know anything else.
At this time, everyone will inevitably complain. Originally, they thought that the experienced Tang Yun could be a key to their victory, but now it seems that this key has no effect at all. The only hope is Xu Han, who can pick up the Demon Teng Flower Emperor and the Heart-Tearing Wolf King alone.
However, so far, apart from Xu Han, no one else has done much. In front of this young man who is only twenty years old, they are all old-timers, and in terms of appearance, this group of old-timers is not as good as a young junior, which makes them feel very embarrassed. On the sixth layer, no matter what kind of danger they have to face, they are not ready to go any further.
"Damn, isn't it just a dead word? Lao Tzu has lived for so many years, he has already lived enough, fight!"
"No matter how strong the sand demon is, let it see my power of different rocks!"
Their eyes flashed with fiery light, and they stepped firmly into the white mist.
The sixth layer, the endless golden desert. The scorching sun hung overhead, scorching the entire desert mercilessly.
"This is the sixth floor. "Everyone looked into the distance, and as far as the eye could see, there was all desert, and there was no end in sight.
Xu Han looked around and said indifferently: "According to the previous layers, the demon beasts of the Demon Punishment Tower are all very good at concealed sneak attacks, presumably the sand demon is also lurking somewhere in the desert, maybe even under the desert, waiting for an opportunity to move." ”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"That's right, the demon beasts in the Demon Punishment Tower are all insidious, everyone be careful, don't get separated, don't be alone. ”
The question was asked, "So, which way should we go now?"
This question is really difficult for everyone. There is only one road to go on the first five floors, so the direction is clear. And the sixth layer, except for the direction of the exit of the secret realm, there is no need to go, with this entrance as the starting point, the vast desert of one hundred and eighty degrees may lead to the entrance of the next layer of the secret realm.
Xu Han frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "I think, the entrance of the secret realm on the next floor is directly facing the exit of the secret realm, then ......" He gestured, pointed in one direction and said, "We should set off in that direction." ”
Xu Han's guess was quickly recognized by everyone. Thinking about it carefully, it is true, the entrance to the secret realm on the first few floors is directly facing the exit of the secret realm, but it is also because there is only one road on the first few floors, so whether this is the case or not remains to be verified, but now that Tang Yun is untrustworthy, no one is more trustworthy and respectable than Xu Han. Therefore, everyone agrees with Xu Han's statement.
Big deal, go back and go again.
And just like that, the team headed deep into the desert.
One step out, you will step on a footprint in the baked hot sand, and along the way, the road back is full of footprints.
Finally, they saw a white mist ahead.
As a result, the sound of excitement and excitement came alive in the crowd.
"Look! It's the entrance! We've found it!"
"Great!
The only person who didn't get excited was Xu Han. At this time, his brow was slightly furrowed, and his eyes were deep and flashing with doubt. Strangely, there was no danger along the way......
"Before the sand demon notices us, rush over!"
At this time, a large number of people couldn't hold back their excitement and rushed out towards the entrance of the secret realm. The entrance to the secret realm was not far from them, and with their speed, they could rush through it in a few breaths, so they dared to be so crazy, they believed that even if the sand demon found them at this time, they would be able to rush into the white mist and reach the next layer along the way.
Suddenly, Xu Han's eyes widened, and he shouted coldly: "Don't go over!
Obviously, everyone was carried away at the moment and couldn't listen to him at all.
It's only a little bit away from the white fog, who is willing to give up at this time? Obediently listen to Xu Han's words and go back?
"The seventh floor!"
They took the last step and plunged headlong into the white mist.
A shocking scene appeared, when those people rushed into the white mist, the white mist disappeared strangely!
"What?fake?!"
"Oops! It's a trap!"
"Go back!"
They soon realized that something was wrong, but when they wanted to go back, there was no chance.
Thundered!
The hot grains of yellow sand trembled as if they were dancing, and the pace of the crowd running back became slower and slower, and then, at their feet, a huge pit of quicksand suddenly appeared, like a huge mouth of a demon, sucking them in and devouring them.
"Save ...... Me!"
"Help!"
The frightened cry was gradually buried by the yellow sand, and the masters who stayed by Xu Han's side, as well as the masters who just ran out of the quicksand range and sat on the edge of the quicksand, all watched in horror as those people were dragged into the quicksand, but they couldn't do anything.
The quicksand gradually disappeared, and a palm that longed for survival was still struggling to reach out of the yellow sand, as if calling for help, but soon even this palm disappeared.
Then, on the yellow sand where many bones were buried, a large piece suddenly sank down, revealing a huge face that was extremely hideous, that huge face, very similar to a human face, at this moment, it seemed to be laughing, and the giant pit of yellow sand that looked like a mouth trembled slightly, emitting a hideous and terrifying sneering sound, low and deep.
Everyone inhaled the cold air, and their hearts trembled, this, is this the sand demon?!
It's scary!
The eerie and terrifying smirk shrouded everyone's hearts like a haze.
Immediately, everyone's pupils shrank suddenly, and they were almost suffocated! Because they saw a large amount of blood oozing from the huge mouth of the sand demon, and their eyes were extremely piercing. That blood is undoubtedly the blood of the man who died in the quicksand just now!
It turned out that the quicksand was the mouth of the sand demon, which ate people alive.
A moment later, the giant face of the yellow sand also disappeared, and the desert was calm and calm, and the scorching sun still exuded a scorching heat, but at this moment, everyone only felt cold, cold to the bottom of their hearts.
They looked at each other, only to find that by now, less than fifty people had survived.
Just by being devoured by the sand demon just now, there were more than twenty people.
"Second-level demonic energy. Xu Han's eyes were cold and he muttered. Although the sand demon only showed his face once, and he didn't know if it was his real body, Xu Han vaguely saw a trace of demonic energy, which was dark green, but this color was purer than that of the Heart-Tearing Wolf King and the Demon Teng Flower Emperor. In other words, the sand demon's demonic qi is already very close to the third-level demonic qi.
Then, this demon beast will be much more difficult to deal with than the Heart-Tearing Wolf King and the Demon Teng Flower Emperor.
Soon, everyone fell into a panic. After devouring more than 20 people, the sand demon did not choose to fight them, but continued to lurk in the yellow sand, which was a kind of psychological torture for them.
They didn't know when the sand demons would appear at their feet and eat them as they had eaten them. Death, not the most terrible, the most terrible, is that they don't know when they will die, this fear from the unknown, the psychological, the mental torture is enormous.
I'm afraid, this is also the purpose of the sand monster, it is playing with this group of humans.
Tang Yun looked around for a moment and said, "It seems that the exit just now was fake, and it was a trick by the sand demon to deliberately lure us into taking the bait. ”
"So, shouldn't we go the other way?" Zhou asked.
"Nope. Xu Han shook his head.
Suddenly, puzzled eyes fell on Xu Han, this road is obviously not the right way, why don't you change the road?
Xu Han's gaze swept over everyone, and he replied indifferently: "I don't think the illusion just now was deliberately created by the sand demon, there was a mirage phenomenon in the desert, not an illusion, but a closer vision, therefore, the mirage we saw just means that we are on the right path." ”
Everyone looked at each other, Xu Han was indeed worth believing, but this was just his one-sided speculation. They all saw the horror of the sand demon just now, even Xu Han was powerless to rescue those who were in distress. When life is at stake, they don't dare to make hasty decisions.
"I agree with him. Tang Yun stood up, "What he said is not unreasonable, if the illusion just now is indeed a mirage, then the real exit must be in front of it." ”
"Yes, I think so too. Zhou Sha also agreed.
More voices of approval followed. Xu Han glanced at it, and his gaze sank slightly. Those who agree with it are all so-called "veterans" who have challenged the Demon Tower, is this a coincidence?
Seeing that everyone agreed with Xu Han's guess, those who were undecided also handed over the decision to Xu Han.
Although Tang Yunzhou's actions were really suspicious, Xu Han felt that no matter how they were, they would not joke with their lives, so he led everyone and continued to move forward.
After walking for a while, they saw another secret entrance.
"Look, he's right, it's really this way!" Someone was overjoyed and immediately wanted to rush over, but was immediately pulled back.
"Are you crazy?
The man's face froze, remembering the last time when more than 20 people died, he couldn't help but tremble, and the color of joy was gradually replaced by horror.
Tang Yun said to everyone: "The mirage will not appear in only one place in the desert, in case this is also fake, then many of us will die again." ”
"But, somebody has to go and see it, right?
Everyone nodded.
"yes, even if it's fake, someone has to see it. ”
But who is going to go? If it is true, it is fine, and if it is fake, then this "explorer" is very likely to die.
At this time, Tang Yun's eyes turned and his gaze fell on Xu Han.
