Who can pick up such a big scythe?

This time he learned to be obedient, and no longer rushed, but only picked up a stone from the ground and struck it at the sickle with a "whoosh".

The stone did not hit the sickle.

It fell in mid-air, as if it had been blocked by something.

Shi Congyi threw it twice, and the consequences were exactly the same.

Yan Saburo even noticed that the stone could only fly in the middle of the river. It seems that the central axis of the great river is the boundary.

Boundary?

The two words on the wooden bell suddenly came to his mind:

Barriers.

He had been to the Hidden Sea Country, which was another world, not connected to the human world, and there was a strong barrier between the two worlds. Even during the 60-year opening period, no one can travel through the two places without a passage carved into the sacred branches.

Is the so-called "barrier" here the same thing as it?

If so, where is the other side?

Chitose suddenly spoke: "It's time for us to go back." ”

It was the first thing she said as she entered the pit: "Don't go any further." ”

Yan Saburo asked her in a deep voice, "Where is the other side?"

"Shura Dao. "A thousand words and one word," crossed this river, and one entered the Shura Path, one of the six paths. ”

The boy finally lost his voice: "What!"

I never thought that she would give this answer!

On the other side of the river is her original world?

You don't have to fall into the underworld, you don't have to wait for reincarnation, as long as you cross this big river, you can enter the Shura Path?

Even if he has a lot of experience, Yan Saburo is still inevitably dumbfounded at the moment.

"I remembered. It was a long, long time ago - "The white owl head doesn't look back." Looking at its back, the boy seemed to see the Asura standing upright, staring at the rolling river in front of him.

"Back then, I crossed this underground river and came to the world. She said softly, "At that time, it was already dark, and I left too suddenly, I didn't look around, and the exit landform was changed by Ling Yuan...... I didn't even recognize it at a glance this time. ”

She sighed faintly: "It's been so long, I can barely remember." ”

Yan Saburo was finally dumbfounded.

At this moment, there were shadows on the opposite bank, as if a dozen living creatures had rushed in from the sun, standing among the flowers and staring at it.

The water vapor dispersed, and Yan Saburo could see clearly that it was the monster that had attacked the guards in the tunnel before.

It's just that there are more than a dozen of them who showed up this time. It seems that these monsters act in groups like wolves.

"It's called Naro. The white cat glanced at Yan Saburo, "Cruel by nature, carnivorous and scavenging." ”

These Nairos were patrolling the river, looking at the river and then at the people, grinning with their teeth and a look of vigilance in their eyes. There were only a dozen of them, far inferior to the number of these unknown creatures on the other side, and they didn't seem to dare to act rashly.

"It's hard to deal with this thing if you have too much. Chitose said softly, "Occasionally, there are some individuals in Nairo who can achieve positive results, and they are not inferior to human power. ”

Shi Congyi planned to arrange for someone to go down to the river to investigate. Originally, he only helped Yan Saburo when he entered the mountain this time, but "Empty Mountain" and this strange pit really aroused his interest.

"Don't go. Yan Saburo invited him over and reminded him loudly, "At least don't send living people there, this place looks too weird." ”

Shi Congyi said with a smile: "There are still corpses of this kind of two-headed wolf in the pit, they can get by, why can't we get by?" Having said that, he still respected Yan Saburo's opinion, took out a pair of bows and arrows casually, and personally aimed at a Naro.

"Whoosh", an arrow is fired.

This set of bows and arrows is different from the stones thrown casually before, it is his own magic weapon, and the tip of the arrow is dedicated to breaking the supernatural power, and there is no blood to return. With Yan Saburo's eyesight, when he can see a little blue light attached to the tip of the arrow, he doesn't know what magic power or effect can be caused by hitting the enemy.

There was no answer to this question for the time being, because the arrow flew above the river and suddenly disappeared.

On the other side, Nairo looked up and sniffed here, and none of them suddenly fell.

"Huh?" Shi Congyi rubbed his eyes, "Where's my arrow?"

This arrow is a magic weapon, and it will automatically return to the master's hands after it is shot, which is convenient and easy to use, and he only has five of them, but now the ugly eight monsters on the opposite bank have gone and have not returned one.

"Dissolved. ”

"Eliminate ...... What?" Shi Congyi couldn't believe his ears. There is nothing on this river, how are his arrows dissolved?

"If I'm not mistaken, this is a barrier between the two realms. Yan Saburo sighed lightly, "To travel back and forth from the Hidden Sea Country to the world, you have to pass through such a barrier. ”

"In this kind of wilderness, there are two barriers?" Shi Congyi was stunned, "Where is the other side?"

Yan Saburo spread his hands.

He didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning of the gesture was clear to everyone.

Shi Congyi's second asked: "My arrows can't shoot through, but how did these monsters come over?" The corpses in the pit not only had two-headed wolves, but also other monsters, which could be seen that they all slipped over from the opposite side. He couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out.

The white cat meowed and jumped back onto the couch from the window. Yan Saburo replied to Shi Congyi's words: "I'm afraid that this barrier can restrain the stronger the creatures, and the weaker the weaker, the more negligent it is. Just as a fishing net catches a big fish, a small fish slips away from the net. ”

"It's the same with the Hidden Sea Country?"

Yan Saburo shook his head: "No, as long as there is no fog wall, that fog wall will not be let go." ”

Shi Congyi groaned: "Ling Yuan's solidification of "Empty Mountain", could it be to stop these monsters from coming?"

"There are too many of these things, and you and I will have a headache, not to mention ordinary villagers. Yan Saburo thought for a moment, "Perhaps, he covered the entrance of the pit not only for fear that these things would come out, but also to block the snooping of the border barrier by foreign people or any country, so as not to upset the balance between the two realms." ”

"We'd better, better keep it as it is, don't break it. After saying so much in one breath, he leaned down on the table and made a weak gesture.

Shi Congyi saw that his face was pale and sweating on his forehead, and remembered that this person was still seriously injured, so he dispelled the idea of stumbling with the boundary barrier, and ordered the team to turn around and get out of the pit.

However, he is also careful, and specially leaves people behind.

Sure enough, the team walked back more than 100 feet, and Nailuo on the other bank couldn't hold back, crossed the river and crossed the barrier, and followed up.

This creature, like a wolf, has the instinct of a tail prey.

It was not easy for Shi Congyi's sentinels to see them cross the river, one of them was directly swept away by the turbulent current, and the rest also showed difficulty when they crossed the barrier, but finally rushed to the opposite bank, unlike Shi Congyi's arrows that went and never returned.

After killing three Nairoos, the team finally made it back to the ground.

At this time, it was almost dusk.

Ground troops have set up temporary cantonments. After the disappearance of "Empty Mountain", nearly 100 tents were set up on the flat and scorched land where no grass grows.

In this kind of weather, no one has the ability to stand in the cold wind for several hours at a time.
