Chapter 236: A Shadow Fire Falls from the Sky
The spirit boat was protected by a protective shield and was not affected, but when Xiao Meow released his divine sense and probed out, he was shocked to find that his divine consciousness, which could cover dozens of miles, could only see through the distance of ten miles in front of him at this time.
Not only that, but this distance is getting shorter and shorter as the fog rises.
"Sister, it's too weird here, do we still have to go forward?" asked Tuanzi in a deep voice.
"Get ready, keep an eye on your surroundings, let's find a place to stop first. ”
In the interval between the two of them, the fog became viscous again, and the visibility of the divine consciousness was shortened by half from the original ten miles to five miles.
After a short while, the two finally found a fairly solid clearing and stopped.
As soon as he landed, Xiao Meow quickly put away the spirit boat, and Tuanzi quickly took out a set of array flags to isolate the breath and threw them around.
The array flag sank into the ground, and quickly formed a yellow protective shield with a slight glow, covering the two of them.
"Sister, are we going to spend the night here today?" beside him was the voice of Danzi Yu's uneasy.
"It seems that this can only be the case, the fog is too heavy, the divine sense is limited, the further we go, I don't know if there are any other dangers, let's get together here for the night, and wait for tomorrow morning before continuing to set off. After speaking, I began to meditate and cultivate, and remained in the strongest state at all times.
"Yes, sister. ”
Time passed minute by minute, and a black moon rose strangely in the sky, the black moon was dark all over, but there was a burst of bright and black light around it.
The light shone down overhead and fell on the swamp shrouded in thick fog, and the fog lifted slightly, and the swamp was immediately covered with a white veil like a shy bride, mysterious and eerie.
The restriction of the divine consciousness was indeed caused by the fog, and the fog dispersed and the divine consciousness recovered a few points, and the little meow opened his eyes and looked around.
The black moon was getting brighter and brighter, the fog was getting thinner and thinner, and suddenly a slight bubble burst sounded, and the layer of light outside the black moon began to fluctuate gently.
As it fluctuated, some tiny black flames descended from the sky, similar to the legendary ghostly fire.
And as the flames fell, the originally calm swamp was like hot oil dripping into a pot, and for a while, the "click" sound that was still there just now became dense, and a few breaths were like boiled water, gurgling, exploding in this quiet swamp.
For a while, countless "click" sounds came from underground, the sound was big and small, the distance was far and near, the "click" sound was chaotic, and it seemed to be with some syllable.
It makes people can't help but feel numb in the ears.
"Sister, is it so weird here?" Tuanzi will look up at the sky for a while, and look down at the ground for a while, lest this "click" sound go further, and something bad will happen in the sky and on the ground.
But his prayer was destined to be useless, and just as the first light of fire fell on the ground, the "click" sound that had made people nervous just now stopped abruptly, and then he saw a white bone sticking out from the ground only a few feet away from him.
Then the ground squirmed, and the palms, arms, heads, chests, and thighs crawled up to the originally flat ground in an instant, a complete set of human dry bones.
The dry bones were snow-white, without flesh and blood, his eye sockets were empty, his teeth were clear, and the only strange thing was that there was a small faint fire on his brow and forehead.
This little bit of fire looks like the light of the fire floating in the sky.
After crawling out of the ground, the dry bones did not look around blankly, but firmly reached out to the sky to grab it.
The bone hand poked out, and the fire in the center of the forehead gave off a slight light, and under the traction of this light, the closest firelight turned around from the air and flew this way.
Seeing that it was getting closer and closer, it was about to float in front of him, and a ray of light erupted from the dry bone forehead, and then wrapped the silk on the top of his head, and the two merged into one.
Just as the skeleton finished absorbing the firelight, the originally peaceful swamp quickly churned, and after a short while, countless skeletons climbed or stood or flew up from the ground, competing to devour the fire in the sky.
The first wave of firelight quickly carved up, and the black moon in the sky immediately regained its calm, and only after a long time did it fluctuate again, this time the spurting firelight was more and more than before.
Looking at the endless army of skeletons under the dense firelight, Xiao Meow felt calm in his heart, and the green vine whip was held in the palm of his hand and prepared to strike.
Tuanzi's face also turned pale, and he held the hand of the jade comb and clenched it tightly.
"What should I do, sister?" The skeleton army was too large, and even though the two of them tried to shrink the protective shield to the minimum, the faint yellow light that fell on the dark night sky was still a bit eye-catching.
Some of the short-eyed skeletons didn't want to fight for the fire in the sky, but wandered over this way.
Seeing that the skeleton was getting closer and closer, Tuanzi became anxious: "Sister, why can't this light be hidden?"
"It's so weird here. Xiao Meow glanced around, and said quickly in his sense: "Put on the invisibility charm and put away the prohibition." As he spoke, he took out an invisibility talisman and pasted it on his body first.
The ban was removed, the yellow light disappeared, and the skeletons who were stupidly moving towards the two of them just now quickly stopped, looked blankly ahead, touched their skulls funny, looked up at the sky, and dispersed.
"Huhu, it's still my sister who is smart!" took a deep breath, and Tuanzi praised in his divine sense.
The protective shield was removed, and the two of them were completely exposed to the moonlight, and the cold qi rose from the ground, and was enveloped by the black moon, which immediately turned into a cold and cold breath, making the two shiver out of thin air.
The environment is special, and both of them have invisibility charms attached to their bodies, so they don't dare to use their spiritual power, so they can only resist with their physical bodies alone.
Just when Xiao Meow thought that the two of them had to freeze all night like this, the place where the alchemist's mark was printed on the back of his right hand was slightly hot.
Immediately after that, the small yellow Dan furnace that disappeared appeared.
There was a slight movement of streamers, and Meow felt a trace of traction burst out from above, leading towards the location of the sky firelight.
Xiao Meow's face changed slightly, and he said in his heart, "Now is not the time for you to brush up on your sense of existence." The red lips opened lightly, and a silent syllable came from the red lips, and the mark darkened, and then disappeared.
Looking at the mark of honestly squatting back, Xiao Meow's heart was relieved.
The fluctuation just now, but in the blink of an eye, successfully attracted a skeleton, this skeleton was relatively close to the two of them, and it took a big step to this side after feeling the fluctuation for the first time.
But the fluctuations came and went quickly, and the moment the mark disappeared, the skeleton stopped again, as if it thought it was feeling wrong.
From the time the two of them stopped until now, it is estimated that three hours have passed, and in these three hours, the black moon has spewed fire three times, according to this frequency, it should be once per hour, if so, a few more times after dawn, this strange skeleton may sink to the ground, and the two of them immediately set off, saying that they have to find a way to leave this strange place tomorrow.
No matter how bad it is, you have to find a monk and know what this place is.
Just as Little Meow was thinking this, the black moon fluctuated again, and a circle of firelight that was larger than before spread down from above.
Seeing this wave of firelight descending into the air, Xiao Meow was depressed and found that the mark on the back of his hand appeared again, and it emitted a brighter light than the last time.
His face darkened, his red lips lightly opened and he silently recited the mantra again, but this time the mark did not react at all, and he just didn't go back.
The skeleton felt the aura fluctuate and walked towards it again.
Xiao Meow was depressed, and pasted a stealth talisman on his body, although this kind of talisman is not as easy to use as an invisibility talisman, but fortunately, it can hide his body a little, and he can move a little.
The white skeleton looks like it is estimated that it only has the realm of the early stage of Qi training, and it can't see through the stealth talisman at all.
Seeing that the skeleton stopped again, Xiao Meow hurriedly took out the imprint jade slip given to him by Qishan Sanren from the spirit beast ring and quickly checked it, and at the same time, with a shake of his sleeve, he received the ball into the spirit beast ring.
It seemed that the fluctuation of the spirit beast ring was too large, and the skeleton just now glanced this way again, but the speed of the little meow was extremely fast, and it did not take a step forward.
Fortunately, the jade slip is easy to understand, the mantra is simple and easy to practice, and you basically understand it thoroughly after reading it.
Hurry up and run the mantra to hide the mark on your hand.
Watching the imprint disappear again, Xiao Meow did not look forward to the night passing quickly like today.
More than half an hour has passed, and seeing that the black moon is about to erupt again, Xiao Meow smiled bitterly, and found that the mark on the back of his hand was fucking popping out again, and this time even the secret mantra of Qishan Sanren could not hide it in the slightest.
The position of the imprint first emitted a little temperature, and then the temperature became higher and higher, and after a while, it seemed to be on fire, and the back of the burning little meow's hand was hot and painful.
At the same time, a trace of traction surged towards the sky, followed by a second silk, a third silk, and in an instant, Xiao Meow only felt that the power on the imprint was faintly uncontrollable, and he didn't care about the little skeleton not far away, and hurriedly used his spiritual power in order to suppress this fluctuation.
But the imprint is like a chicken blood, and I can't control it.
Seeing the black moon spew out a bigger and more wave of fire, at this moment, the mark moved.
A strong yellow light rushed into the sky from above, and the fire in the sky was shaken, and they scrambled to follow the yellow light towards the imprint.
Xiao Meow stared intently at the firelight falling on the back of his hand, and without pain, a small black flame appeared above the Dan furnace mark.
"What is this?" said a shock in his heart, "Could it be that this is really a legendary ghostly fire?"
According to the records in the classics, there are nine shadows in the depths of the dark fire, which cannot be condensed unless thousands of dry bones, cannot be formed for thousands of years, and the whole body is as black as ink, not hot but cold and abnormal.
"Could it be that this is the Nine Shadows?" said Xiao Meow softly in his divine sense, but then dispelled this idea, this place is not very consistent with the records of the Nine Shadows, the legend is that the Nine Shadows do not see the sun and the moon, and the five fingers are not seen when they reach out.
The swamp is similar at night, but the day is calm, and apart from a little gloomy, it's not unlike usual.
So this is not the Nine Shadows, but if it is not the legendary Nine Shadows, in the records in the classics of the sect, Xiao Meow really remembers that there is a place like this.
As the largest sect on the Colorful Continent, the Luohua Sect will definitely not be weak to other sects, and in order to erase the rookie mark as soon as possible, he has read all the classics in the library pavilion.
But it didn't change the introduction of this swamp.
