Chapter 165: There Really Is
Walking into the dense fog, it was like walking into another world, the dense fog in front of him was forced to separate, and then after Xiao Ming and the others passed, they couldn't wait to close behind them.
Then, after I don't know how long I left, my eyes suddenly became clear. But there was no light in the line of sight, but a sense of darkness.
What appeared in front of Xiao Ming's father and daughter was actually a village in the mountains and forests. And the figure of the young man who led the way became fading and fading, fading and fading, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Before he disappeared, Xiao Ming and Jelly could still hear the young man's enthusiastic greeting: "Ah, it's almost there, my hotel is in front, I'll go and prepare for you first, this road, just go straight and get there." Remember, go straight!"
"Father, what's going on? I didn't scan anything, my scan results tell me that we should be looking at the ruins of Qingbai Town, but what I see is this small village in the forest!" Jelly was confused, almost doubting his scanning ability and core processing capabilities.
Xiao Ming also didn't know why, his soul searching technique could find a large number of chaotic heaven and earth souls and soul souls and soul souls around him, but he didn't find the soul of people at all, including when the young man appeared in front of him.
When he asked Bai Zhen and Da Pan again, he didn't get any reply, so he had to give up.
"Let's go in and have a look!" Xiao Ming was not flustered, and took Jelly's hand and walked into the small village in the forest in front of him.
The area of the small village in the forest in front of me is not small, and it is even larger than Qingbai Town, which should theoretically exist in this location. Because holographic scanning, soul searching, and soul channeling could not work, Xiao Ming and Jelly circled the village for almost ten minutes before finally confirming that the village was basically a labyrinth.
Turning a village into a labyrinth is not uncommon in the Ancient Stars. Because this is the last defense of the village town. Once an enemy enters. Then relying on the maze system to fight with the enemy in the street is the last resort. Therefore, the village town of the labyrinth system is not uncommon in the Ancient Realm Star.
But the small town in the forest in front of him was a strange and changeable labyrinth, which made Xiao Ming a little depressed.
Houses in villages are mostly designed with front and back yards, and the backyard often has a door as well. That is, if the front door and back of a house are open, then the house actually becomes part of the access because it is passable.
However, if one or all of the front and back doors of the house are closed. Then the house becomes a closed dead end. The biggest problem with the fact that this village is a variable labyrinth is that all the houses in the village are not normal.
They are somewhere between being and not being, Xiao Ming and Jelly can see them and be blocked by them, but when they want to destroy them, or fly into the air to bypass them, they change.
For destruction, these houses will all become nothing, but once the attack is over, they will reappear. For a detour that flies into mid-air. Then the fog will immediately increase to the point where it is completely impossible to discern the direction.
In such a strange situation, for Xiao Ming and Jelly. The opening and closing of the doors of those houses is the biggest variable in the labyrinth.
It is possible that all the doors of the house in front of you are still open when you pass by, but the next second, the doors will close, and you will have to find a way to make a long detour to reach the place where you could have reached by just passing through a door.
Of course, there are also main roads in the village, but the fog on the main road is so thick that it is better to reach out than to see five fingers, with the energy of Xiao Ming and Jelly, soul magic and holographic scanning are completely ineffective, and they can only be located in such fog by sight and hearing.
And this strange dense fog seems to have the energy of space migration, one step Xiao Ming also found himself on the main road outside a big house at the entrance of the village, and the next second he found himself on the square in the center of the village.
Encountering such a strange labyrinth, Xiao Ming and Jelly didn't know what to do for a while, and the back road was broken, so they could only continue to walk.
Fortunately, both of them are masters of the arts, although such an environment is weird, but it has not yet reached the point where the two of them are frightened, and if the two of them do their best, they can also break through this place, so the two of them are not in a hurry, so they slowly wander around the maze.
Because of the chaotic jumping effect on the main road, Xiao Ming decided not to act on the main road, but chose to shuttle among those houses, although sometimes they have to take a long detour, and the route is changing at any time, but these are nothing to Jelly, strong memory and analysis skills so that they will not really get lost in it, what is needed is nothing more than a longer time.
After walking for about an hour, Xiao Ming and Jelly had already walked through all the houses in the northeast corner of the village, Jelly recorded the law of changes in these houses, and found a rather complex law of change, but no matter how responsible they were, as long as there was a rule, there was no need to worry.
Speaking of such a complex law, only jelly can be discovered, even Xiao Ming, in the face of such a complex law of change, it is impossible to discover it from memory alone.
Once you've found a pattern, the next path is easy, and it's clear that the pattern can be applied to houses elsewhere as well—at least for now.
Therefore, in the next hour, Xiao Ming and Jelly quickly searched the east, southeast, south and southwest of the village.
However, nothing was found, so the father and daughter were ready to continue to search the rest of the directions, but when they just came to the west position, a change protruded.
Just as Xiao Ming stepped into a large house due west with one foot, he immediately felt a black mist float out of the road house and quickly wound around him.
The black mist was extremely fast, and as soon as Xiao Ming found it, it came to the front. Xiao Ming's figure flashed on the spot, and he flew back with the jelly, but the black mist immediately chased Xiao Ming as if it was automatically tracking, and the speed suddenly skyrocketed, and it was in front of Xiao Ming in the blink of an eye.
I found that this thing was only staring at itself. Xiao Ming let the jelly go aside first. Feet on the ground a little. Quickly flew high, although the fog was very thick in mid-air, but it was only a small leap, and it was not enough to make Xiao Ming lost.
The speed of the black mist increased by another minute, and it flew up and rushed towards Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming was stunned in the air when it was impossible, and phantom clones that had not been used for a long time appeared from the left and right.
But the black mist recognized Xiao Ming. Not at all moved by the phantom clone.
The temptation failed, Xiao Ming was not discouraged, and when he stepped in the air, it was like stepping on the ground, and he appeared on the ground in an instant: "Jelly!"
Jelly and Xiao Ming had a good heart, so they naturally knew what Xiao Ming was going to do, and turned into a golden light that flowed into Xiao Ming's hand, turning into a golden corner gun.
With a gun in hand, Xiao Ming's eyes became sharp, and he didn't need any fancy movements. A straight stab stabbed out. The black mist quickly dissipated as if it had a spiritual sense. It was scattered in all directions, and then quickly condensed at Xiao Ming's feet, as if he had found a bottom.
Xiao Ming leaped up again, and the black mist also flew up, and this time it split into two, and the other half appeared above Xiao Ming's head, turning into a black net, waiting for Xiao Ming to throw himself into the net.
Xiao Ming was not shocked, the Yajiao spear suddenly disappeared in his hand, and followed by nine golden light divine dragons flying out of his hand, flying up and down, scattering the black mist.
There seemed to be a wail of pain from the black mist, and the black mist quickly became smaller, as if it was seriously injured.
"Sure enough, it's still soul energy, but it's a little strange in terms of attributes, and it's more feminine. But since the Soul Devouring Technique is still effective, then you don't have to think about running away!" Discovering the essence of the black mist, Xiao Ming snorted coldly and stepped forward with a gun.
The black mist really has a spirit, and when it sees this, it runs, but where can it still run away. Xiao Ming struck a fist, and a golden light divine dragon flew out and swallowed the black mist in one gulp.
"I don't have any memory, but I have spiritual sense, it's really a strange thing!" Xiao Ming digested the soul energy in the black mist, and found that this thing really had spiritual sense, but it didn't have any memory, which was very strange.
Jelly turned back into a human form, and looked curiously at the small pearl-like black bead left behind by Xiao Ming after killing the black mist: "Father, what is this?"
"I don't know. It seems to be a kind of soul, but there are other impurities. Save it first, and then study it later!" Xiao Ming casually threw the bead into the space bracelet, and then looked at the big house due west, showing a smile.
Rather than a dull search with no enemies at all, the process of fighting enemies will be more interesting for him.
"Father, the enemy has appeared, I'll get into battle!" Jelly suggested.
Although he was already K-level, in the face of the strange situation in front of him, Xiao Ming didn't dare to be careless, and nodded immediately. Jelly immediately turned into a golden angel Lingwu.
Dressed in the golden angel Lingwu and holding a Yajiao gun, Xiao Ming once again stepped into the big house due to the west.
This is a typical ancient architecture of the Ancient Domain Star. The blue-gray brick walls and the broken wooden doors, along with the peeling marks on the walls, all show the dilapidation of the place.
In fact, the houses in the entire village were very dilapidated, but the large layer due west seemed to be more dilapidated than the houses in other places that Xiao Ming had searched before.
"Father, will you encounter ghosts here?" Although she was transformed into a golden angel Lingwu, Jelly still maintained interaction with the outside world, and when she saw everything in front of her, she suddenly remembered something from a long time ago.
That was the last time I was on Dracon, in the old timeline. That time not only allowed Xiao Ming and Jelly to really see the existence of "ghosts" for the first time, but also allowed Xiao Ming to get the Yin Pearl.
But under normal circumstances, ghosts cannot exist for a long time. No, it should be said that under normal circumstances, ghosts cannot be formed at all. The soul is a conscious energy, and the soul itself does not need the offerings of the body to exist, but the consciousness does. Souls that have lost consciousness will soon become ownerless souls, and then merge into the souls of heaven and earth, completing the great cycle of soul energy.
The reason why Xiao Ming was able to meet the ghost in the first place was because of the power of the Yin Bead, but obviously there would be no Yin Bead here, otherwise the big plate would have reminded him a long time ago. If there are no Yin beads, then if there are really ghosts, the environment here must be very special.
was reminded of the past by Jelly, Xiao Ming became even more interested: "If there is a ghost, then go in and have a look." Maybe there's a windfall?"
The father and daughter are not afraid of ghosts, in a sense, ghosts should be afraid of Xiao Ming. This guy specializes in soul devouring. A ghost is also a ghost, and it is a kind of soul that is quite easily devoured.
The west mansion is very large, covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters, Xiao Ming entered from the front yard and soon entered the main hall.
As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw the target.
A woman in white hanging from the roof of the main hall, with her hair disheveled, her face in sight, judging from the hands and feet that showed her clothes, she should be quite young. The body has not yet decomposed, and theoretically it has not been long since it died.
Theoretically, of course.
For example, in theory, corpses cannot move. But the white-clothed corpse hanging there was moving, not the way the corpse was lifted and blown by the wind, but twitching like a twitch, and it made a clicking sound.
"Father, father, there are really ghosts!" Jelly was not afraid, but cheered.
Xiao Ming also looked at the moving corpse in front of him with an interested expression.
The soul of the thing in front of him was still not visible in the soul searching technique, but based on the previous experience of the black mist, Xiao Ming felt that after he came into contact with this thing, he should be able to feel it.
Everything in the entire village seems to have an ability to isolate their soul reactions, which cannot be detected without direct contact. Even if it is direct contact, it will be a rather vague feeling, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will think that there is none.
The corpse twitched for a long time, and found that Xiao Ming didn't have any reaction, just stood in front of him and looked at himself carefully, and finally couldn't help it, and raised his head suddenly, revealing a face that was swollen purple, his facial features were bleeding, and his fear was abnormal.
Xiao Ming still didn't react at all, thought for a while, nodded, and reached out to touch the corpse.
The corpse was furious on the spot, screamed strangely, and the rope hanging on the beam automatically threw off, and then whipped towards Xiao Ming like a whip.
Xiao Ming was not moved at all, and with a wave of golden wings behind him, he pulled the rope away, and at this time his hand had already grabbed the hand of the corpse.
"Sure enough, it has soul power!" Xiao Ming smiled.
It's easy to do if you have soul energy, but I'm afraid you don't have soul energy.
Although it is a little weird, in terms of the level reaction of the soul energy itself, it is at most equivalent to the level of a three-star beast, and thousands of such guys have no effect on Xiao Ming, let alone one.
He didn't activate the Soul Eater Technique, but just exuded a little control from the Soul Killing Technique, and the corpse immediately fell to the ground screaming as if it had been electrocuted.
And at this moment, five suspicious figures came out from all angles of the big house, and rushed towards Xiao Ming with a fierce momentum.
"There are really ghosts, and there are so many!" Jelly cheered again when she saw the menacing group of ghosts. (To be continued.) )
