"How long does a full moon like this last?" Wen Yuan saw that the atmosphere was gradually cooling down, and took the initiative to find a topic.

He Sheng looked up at the bright full moon hanging high in the sky and muttered, "It will be over tomorrow, but you are so powerful, we don't have to be afraid."

This was too flattering to himself, Wen Yuan suddenly felt a little sleepy, and after getting lazy, he got into the tent, "Rest early, I can't break through those things in this enchantment." ”

It was precisely because of Wen Yuan that He Sheng had a rare good night's sleep, and it was the first time he had slept so soundly after being here for so long.

Early the next morning, Wen Yuan sat on the burned fire, waiting for everyone to wake up.

She had a dream at night, and the content of the dream was not important, but the dream made her think of a question.

Seeing Shen Huaiyan walking out of the tent in a daze, Wen Yuan immediately grabbed him, "Huaiyan, I suddenly thought of a very critical question this morning. ”

"What's the problem?" The man's eyes were not fully opened, and he could see that he was still sleepy.

"Why can we still see the moon when we are underground?"

When Wen Yuan asked this question, Shen Huaiyan's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

Indeed, none of them had thought about why they could see such a bright moon even though they were underground.

And it's not just one day, you can see the moon every day, which is really unreasonable.

After thinking of this question, Wen Yuan couldn't help it, she ran to He Sheng's tent and shook the man from his sleep, "Wake up, wake up, He Sheng." ”

"Ahhh What's wrong? Found the Phantom Orb? "It seems that the man had a very beautiful dream, and he dreamed that he had found the Phantom God Bead.

"Have you ever wondered why we can still see the sun and moon underground?" No matter how you look at it, it's in a huge underground cavern, but how can there be a sun, moon and stars in such a place?

The man didn't think it was strange, he stretched lazily and got out of the quilt, "This is the power of the Phantom God Bead, with this little bead, there is nothing in this world that you dare to think about but can't do." ”

"So amazing?" Wen Yuan thought again, "You mean, this place was created by the Illusory God Bead?" ”

"To be precise, it was created by the person who got the Phantom God Bead, and I have analyzed that although there are many places here that are similar to the Phantom Country, it is not the Phantom Country, so I think that ancient legend has come true."

It's a legend again, Wen Yuan has heard a lot of legends since he got here.

He Sheng saw Wen Yuan's careful thoughts, "This is a country that only exists in legends, so it can be seen that sometimes legends are not all groundless. ”

"But there are too many legends, which one should I listen to? Besides, is the Phantom Orb really here? If so, why haven't you found it after looking for so long? ”

The man felt that Wen Yuan was still too naïve, "This is too big to imagine here, although I have traveled to many places here in the past few decades, it only accounts for one-tenth or twelve of the entire country." ”

"Twelve out of ten?!" Wen Yuan's voice alarmed the other three men.

They thought that the two of them had a conflict, and Shen Huaiyan took the lead in walking to Wen Yuan's side and asked what happened, "What's wrong?" Isn't it ......"

"Ah no, he just said that it was very big down here, and I was scared."

After speaking, Wen Yuan led everyone to pack up their things, "You are more familiar here than us, where should we go next?" ”

"This thing pays attention to fate, you see that I haven't gone out for so long, am I very close to it? I think you can only leave this place if you find the Illusion Orb. ”

As soon as he heard He Sheng say that he had to find the Phantom God Bead before leaving, Wen Yuan's face immediately fell, "You still have to find that thing?" But I don't even know if it's here. ”

"I have a hunch that it must be there!" He Sheng's premonition made Wen Yuan can't believe it, she packed everything and said to He Sheng: "Then follow me, I have always been lucky, I should be able to find it."

But...... Can you really find it? Wen Yuan didn't believe in himself that much.

The days passed in a blink of an eye, and ten days later, there was still no clue from everyone, "I think...... We're going to be here for decades, too. ”

Maybe...... It is possible to stay here longer.

At night, Wen Yuan sat alone on the hillside, because of the enchantment around her, so she was not harassed by those things.

She slept on the hillside until the next day.

But when Wen Yuan opened his eyes, there was a child standing beside him holding a bow in his hand.

"You...... Who are you? ”

The child didn't seem to be afraid of Wen Yuan, "I still want to ask you, how did you sleep alone on the hillside, it's dangerous here, you were already asleep when I found you, and I held a torch for you all night." ”

He pointed to the extinguished torches on the ground.

Wen Yuan still didn't believe him, after all, it was impossible for such a small child to live alone in such a place.

Who knew that the boy actually stepped forward and grabbed Wen Yuan's hand at this time, "Come with me, I'll take you to my mother." ”

And the mother?

Wen Yuan's heart was full of doubts, but she still followed him away, believing that she could still deal with such a child by herself.

All the way to a dilapidated stone house, Wen Yuan saw that there were many children here, but there was only one woman.

"This is the sister you said you liked, it's so beautiful, please take a seat."

The children immediately made room for Wen Yuan, while the woman poured her a cup of hot tea, "There's nothing to entertain you here." ”

Wen Yuan thought it was very strange, why there were so many children in this place, it stands to reason...... Shouldn't there be no one here?

She drank the cup of tea and fell asleep with a question, "You shouldn't have brought her here, her companions will be in a hurry." The woman carried Wen Yuan on her back, ready to send her to her original place.

When Wen Yuan woke up again, he was still on that hillside, and there was no little boy holding Temari beside him, let alone a extinguished torch.

She thought to herself, was it all just a dream? Dragging her tired body, Wen Yuan returned to the camp, she rubbed her neck and said sadly: "I seem to have had a very strange dream...... There is a group of children in the dream. ”

But for several days, the child woke Wen Yuan up in the early morning, and then took her to their secret base, and waited for Wen Yuan to drink tea before being sent back.

Finally one day, the woman made up her mind to tell Wen Yuan something, she pulled Wen Yuan back to the hillside at the beginning, pointed to the camp below and said: "Actually, you are not dreaming, every time that child brings you, I will give you a tea that can make people fall into a deep sleep, so you will wake up and feel that you have a dream."

"Those kids...... It's pathetic. The woman's expression was sad, "They are trapped in the whirlpool of time and never grow up, and they don't know that they are already dead." ”

Wen Yuan couldn't understand her words, and asked with a frown, "What do you mean by this?" Are they already dead? So why aren't they afraid of the day? ”

"Because they are different from those souls in the night, they are too deeply affected by the Phantom God Bead, these children are full of yearning for a better life when they are dying, so their hearts are kind, and they don't know that they are dead, so they are not afraid of the sun, but those souls are different, their ability to resent the Phantom God Bead makes them become monsters with only souls and no body, so their hearts are evil, lurking in the night and waiting for an opportunity."

The woman's words made Wen Yuan more and more incomprehensible the more she listened, but she could guess some, "That's what you mean...... This place was created by the Phantom Orb, but the subjects here were also influenced by the Phantom Orb? ”

"You still don't get it." The woman shook her head and left where she was.

That night, Wen Yuan relied on her memories to find the secret base where the children lived, but she saw countless corpses and the woman who was wiping them with a handkerchief.

"You killed them?!"

"Of course not...... This is normal, they can move during the day and lose this ability at night. ”

All forces are balanced.

Wen Yuan came to her so late just to ask about the things she said during the day, "Since you said I don't understand, then you let me understand." ”

The woman was stunned for a moment when she heard Wen Yuan's words, in fact, she had thought about it for a long time before taking the initiative to find Wen Yuan.

Now it seems that there are some things that must be known to her as well, "This kingdom was originally built with the help of the king of the illusory country, and the illusory kingdom is in the place where the sun rises, and this kingdom is in the place where the sun sets. The ambition of the Phantom King was beyond ordinary people, and one day he approached the king of this country, his own brother, to discuss the expansion of the kingdom's territory, and the younger brother was a peace-loving man, and he did not want to cause more murder because of greed, so he refused. ”

It's really two brothers, Wen Yuan was distracted, because she remembered the legend that He Sheng told her.

The woman didn't notice her and continued, "But the elder brother thinks that the younger brother has betrayed him, and he has sealed the younger brother and his kingdom underground through some forbidden knowledge that is very human can reach. The days under the ground were dark, and the subjects were terrified all day long, but the younger brother did not give up, he had been looking for a way to contact the seal, and by chance, the Phantom God Bead appeared in his purse, and since then the younger brother has used the Phantom God Bead to create day and night, bringing the subjects a short period of life, but everything needs to be paid. ”

The price sounded so serious, Wen Yuan wanted to continue listening, but the conversation between the two was interrupted by terrible screams around him.
