Chapter 60: Darkness Like a Tide
Remember [Lewen] in a second. Alas, for you to read wonderfully.
The night breeze was bitter and darkness was falling.
Gu Xiaozhao stood on the stone steps in front of the main hall, looking at the dark frenzy in front of him like a tornado, and slowly retreated, after entering the main hall, two warriors rushed over one left and one right, moved some half-human-high stones, and then piled up wood and hay to block the crack.
Inside the hall, everyone was silent, only the sound of breathing.
Everyone in the hall, except for Gu Xiaozhao and Su Qiao'er, the rest of the disciples of the Meishan Sword Sect have never been to this forbidden area, only the guide Lei Dan has really been here, however, Meizhou is located on the periphery of Meishan, and the legend of this forbidden area has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it has long reached the level of talking about the tiger's color.
Over the past few hundred years, they have heard all kinds of legends about the forbidden area, and since they became adults, there are more or less people they know who have disappeared in Meishan, and they know how powerful this forbidden area is, especially the dark night of this forbidden area, which can be said to make people go and have no return, so even if they are ready, they are still frightened.
The eleven members of the Meishan Sword Sect are all the backbone of the faction, and the entire family has a close connection with the Meishan Sword Sect, so there is no so-called retreat from the battle.
After all, if they sacrifice, the family will benefit, and if they escape, whether they can escape or not, the entire family will be affected. This adventure into the mountain was a task personally issued by the Sect Elders and the head of the sect, requiring them to obey Gu Xiaozhao's orders, even if Gu Xiaozhao asked them to die, they must not take half a step back.
Unlike the outside world, the darkness in the restricted area comes suddenly, and there is no buffer.
Darkness was like a mist from the opposite hill, and in a few breaths it had completely enveloped the mountains, and around the ruined temple, the darkness enveloped the main hall, and the bronze lamps lit at the four corners of the main hall emitted a golden halo, keeping the darkness out.
Under the light of the lights, there are also shadows.
It's just that these shadows are not black, but seem to be plated with a layer of golden light, which makes it impossible for those strange things hidden in the darkness to enter.
There was a wind blowing, and most of them whistled past outside the ruined temple, but some strayed into it.
Most of these winds were shielded by the windproof zone built by Gu Xiaozhao and his party, but there were also some stubbornly squeezed through the gaps and entered the main hall, which made people feel cold physically and mentally.
Next to each lamp, there are two warriors, they use their bodies to block the lamp, once they feel the wind invading, they will carry the true qi, the void out of the palm, using the palm wind to push away those who enter the main hall, not allowing them to step within three feet of the lamp.
Even with the protection of this divine fire, the warriors are still trembling, as if they are facing a great enemy.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Every half an hour, the three people who were resting in the hall would take the initiative to step forward and take turns in turn to remove the three people who were responsible for guarding the lights, so that the three people could rest for half an hour and relieve their tension.
Gu Xiaozhao and Su Qiao'er didn't need to do this.
In addition to the fact that Gu Xiaozhao is the leader, the more important reason is that these disciples of the Meishan Sword Sect are very familiar with each other and have trust in each other. Gu Xiaozhao and Su Qiao'er are different, they are outsiders, so they would rather work hard themselves than entrust their lives in the hands of these two young people.
Turning her head to look at her side, Su Qiao'er turned her face sideways, silent, not knowing what she was thinking.
After entering the mountain, Su Qiaoer became silent, not only because there were too many strangers around her, but also because she knew that her father Su Zhiwei disappeared in the depths of Meishan half a year ago. Gu Xiaozhao wanted to know the whereabouts of his parents, and at the same time, he naturally had news to inquire about Su Zhiwei.
There is a record of the Meishan Sword Sect, after all, all martial artists who enter Meizhou must register their names with the Meishan Sword Sect, and Su Zhiwei's name is also registered on it.
After that, through many investigations, the Meishan Sword Sect was also very powerful, and kept finding some informants, that is, in those people's mouths, they knew the news of Su Zhiwei's entry into the mountain.
After that, he lost his message.
Gu Xiaozhao also knows that Su Zhiwei is most likely as fierce and unlucky as his parents, and he has no expectations for whether his parents can survive, the so-called obsession is just to know specific information, whether it is life or death, it is best to have a whereabouts. Su Qiao'er is different, she has always felt that her father is still alive.
Now, knowing the dangers of this area, and knowing that my father may have been more and more auspicious, on the other hand, he still has a glimmer of hope, and it is inevitable that there will be some gains and losses, and silence is inevitable.
If there is no divine fire made by Inhumans, a warrior like Su Zhiwei will definitely not be able to escape the invasion of darkness, and most of them will be pulled into the darkness and become a part of the darkness.
What is hiding in this darkness?
Look in, and you can't see anything.
The so-called invisible fingers are not a big deal, this darkness is like a living creature, like a mist, with teeth and claws, but this flowing darkness is very viscous, countless times thicker than the thickest ink.
Gu Xiaozhao stood up, picked up a piece of dry firewood, and then walked towards the outside of the main hall.
The darkness was forced by the lights, stayed outside the main hall, penetrated through some gaps, and then, reflected by the light of the divine fire, quietly dispersed.
Gu Xiaozhao also stood on the edge between light and darkness, and he only needed to take two steps forward to enter the darkness.
Su Qiao'er stood up and looked at Gu Xiaozhao, her expression did not change, the experience of this time made her have a strong confidence in her young master, it can be said that Gu Xiaozhao gave her an impression of omnipotence, even if Gu Xiaozhao rushed into the darkness now, she also believed that the darkness would be helpless against her young master.
Those disciples of the Meishan Sword Sect were different, and they all looked at Gu Xiaozhao with nervous expressions.
If it weren't for the fear that the sound would attract dark attention, a few overly nervous guys would have almost shouted, but fortunately, although their mouths were wide open, the voice did not blurt out at the last moment in their throats.
The three people who had their turn to rest glanced at each other, Lei Shan stood up with one eye open, and walked slowly towards Gu Xiaozhao, his expression was very solemn, step by step, walking very carefully.
Unlike those guys, five years ago, Lei Shan had experienced a similar episode.
In this area, even if there is the blessing of the divine fire, it is not foolproof, if you really think that you can rely on the reflection of this divine fire to be able to have no taboos, you are undoubtedly thinking too much!
Lei Shan didn't know what was in the dark, he just knew that the things in there were powerful, and even if they couldn't penetrate the protective circle of the divine fire, they had other ways to lure you in. Yes, if you are not strong-willed, weak-willed, and panic is always lingering, then you will become food for darkness.
Five years ago, Lei Dan had watched one of his companions scream and rush into the darkness, even though he was within the protection range of the Divine Fire at that time.
Why is this happening?
This is because the monsters in the darkness have the power to deceive people, they can create illusions, they can intoxicate you, they amplify the desires in your heart, they are more fearful when you are afraid, they are more greedy when you are greedy, and if you make a little louder, they will attract the attention of those guys.
That's why Lei Shan walked slowly step by step!
This is also the reason why those guys didn't dare to shout out to stop Gu Xiaozhao although they were afraid!
Yes, in the minds of these guys, Gu Xiaozhao was most likely confused by the existence in the dark!
Before entering the mountain, they had actually been trained, and these experiences were also shared, so most of the people who chose were strong-willed, Gu Xiaozhao's appearance was too deceptive, after all, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, people naturally looked down on him very easily.
Gu Xiaozhao looked at the rolling darkness in front of him, and gently wiped the fingers of his right hand on the dry wood.
The next moment, the dry wood also burned and turned into a torch.
Gu Xiaozhao threw the torch into the darkness.
O fearless to the ignorant!
Lei Shan stopped, beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolling down his forehead.
In his memory, it seems that no one has ever dared to provoke the darkness like this, and most of the beings who come here are trembling, although some of them seem to be calm and light, but in fact, they are also pretending to be relaxed and calm, and once there is an emergency, they will appear as prototypes.
This young man is not like this, the previous calmness is really calm, not pretending.
He did this as a temptation, right?
The torches were thrown into the darkness and extinguished barely a trace of smoke, and the light of the fire disappeared as if it had been swallowed up.
Even if Gu Xiaozhao's eyesight is outstanding, he will not find anything at this time.
The darkness seemed to have a sense of Gu Xiaozhao's provocation, and it rolled like boiling water, rushing towards Gu Xiaozhao with teeth and claws, but it was blocked by the divine fire and could not advance an inch. However, this scene was extremely thrilling, and in the main hall, those warriors stiffened like puppets, holding their breath, and looking at this side in fear.
Gu Xiaozhao stretched out his hand and gently wiped it on his eyebrows.
Then, a flash of thought escaped and plunged into the darkness.
Unlike those martial artists who have opened up the Divine Treasure, Gu Xiaozhao's divine thoughts can be condensed together, and they can be cut apart and become independent individuals, but those martial artists are different, their divine thoughts are connected together, they are inseparable as one, and they can't survive if they want the gecko to break their tails.
Divine thoughts are thrown into darkness like pouring gasoline on a fire.
"Whoa......
Knowing the sea, there was the sound of the tide.
In the dark, the divine thought came into contact with a certain will, and that will was the embodiment of a certain desire, which exuded a breath that devoured everything, Gu Xiaozhao's divine thought was like a mountain and sea delicacies to that will, and the other party instantly went crazy, wrapped it, and swallowed it in one gulp.
At that moment, Gu Xiaozhao sensed extremely deep malice.
Almost at the same time, he cut off the thought.
Then, he turned away from the darkness.
What's going on with this darkness?
He had a guess......
