The sun is a white circle of light that hangs obliquely in the western sky.

Standing at the bottom of the valley and looking up, there is a lot of mist floating in the sky, like layers of membranes blocking the light, although you can see the sun, it is not very real.

In front of him was a black mountain.

To be precise, this is a bank wall composed of black boulders, there are no trees, no weeds, and no jagged rocks, and the main body of the entire mountain peak is a huge black rock, which is where the entrance of the Ancient Great Array is located, Gu Xiaozhao and his party came here after four or five days of arduous trekking.

Of the thirteen people in the group, two were killed and one was missing, and a full ten people came here alive.

This kind of survival probability can be said to be beyond Lei Dan's imagination, at the beginning, when Lei Shan took over the task of this guide, he had already written a suicide note, and made up his mind that he would not leave Meishan alive, in his opinion, even if they could rush to the core of this forbidden land, at least ten of the thirteen people would have to be sacrificed, and only two or three people would be alive.

However, this time, only three people sacrificed, and the most important thing is that he is still alive, which is really an accident!

What Lei Shan didn't know was that if it weren't for Gu Xiaozhao's entourage, most of them would have sacrificed a lot when they entered the mountain this time, and Gu Xiaozhao had a strong intuition about danger, and he could often avoid it early.

The reason why the two guys who died died was due to luck.

They did not die at the hands of powerful demonic beasts, nor were they consumed by darkness, but they died a very worthless death.

One guy was bitten by some unknown kind of ant, and when he was resting, he did not follow the rules of camping, but took off his shoes and socks, sat on the rock, and let his feet breathe, so that he was gently bitten on the instep of his foot by a black ant crawling on the ground.

The stinging sensation was so mild that it wasn't even as good as being pricked by a wasp's tail.

However, just a breath of time, the guy's whole body turned black, a face was as black as black charcoal, his mouth was open and seemed to be smiling, and then, he kept this shape and fell to the side, fell to the ground, and before his body hit the ground, the whole person was already bad.

The other was even more unlucky.

Gu Xiaozhao and his entourage, everyone carried several pots of water, after all, after entering the forbidden area, not only can they not light fire to make hot food, they can only use dry food and preserved fruits, and even water cannot be used indiscriminately, there are many mountains and rocks in the forbidden area, and there are very few streams, even if it is live water such as streams, they cannot be approached.

In these streams, there are many highly poisonous things, and being close to the stream often has unforeseen disasters.

Moreover, even if these streams are living water, they flow with poison that is harmful to humans, and it is difficult to find a harmless river, and to identify it must be at the cost of human life.

Therefore, only drink clean spring water collected before entering the restricted area.

In addition, you can also cut the bark of a tree called a pulp tree, cut the bark with a knife, and insert a tube with a hollow pipe into the body of the pulp tree, and the sap will flow out, and the sap is sweet and delicious for drinking, and can be used as a substitute for spring water.

The other guy was killed while drinking the sap.

Speaking of which, he can only consider himself unlucky.

You know, the pulp tree was not the first thing he drank, someone in front of him cut the bark first, inserted a catheter, and drank it beautifully.

When it was his turn, it was just a change of position, after all, the sap in the hole that had been broken earlier had been drunk by the previous person, and it was the right thing to do in a different position. However, it was just a matter of changing places, and the original sweet and delicious sap turned into venom.

This was purely an accident, and Gu Xiaozhao couldn't sense the danger of such an accident, unless it was he who cut the bark of the tree and prepared to drink the sap at that time.

The other missing guy couldn't bear the huge pressure when he was on duty at night, or he was confused by the darkness, and rushed into the darkness coldly, even if he wanted to hold him, it was too late, saying that he was missing, and most of them had turned into a dry bone.

Yes, along the way, you can often see a lot of dry bones.

Among these dry bones are humans, as well as large and small beasts or birds, all of which are swallowed by the darkness because they have not been able to leave the forbidden area at night.

Before coming to this black mountain rock, Gu Xiaozhao and Su Qiao'er will also be separated from Lei Shan and other Meishan Sword Sect disciples, they will bypass this black mountain rock and enter the ancient array, and Lei Shan and the others will rotate back, their task is very simple, just send Gu Xiaozhao and Su Qiao'er here to complete.

Before leaving, Lei Dan and the others looked at Gu Xiaozhao with strange eyes.

Simply put, it's a gaze at a dead person.

No one thought they would come back alive, no one thought they would see these two again, and in their minds, it would be the last time they would see them.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, they are destined to have no future.

These people actually don't know the true purpose of this trip, of course, they have their own guesses, in their opinion, Gu Xiaozhao and Su Qiao'er are the legendary boys and girls, they are responsible for sending these two people to the middle of the forbidden area, but to transport sacrifices, only in this way, the devil in the big array will not be angry, will not rush out of Meishan, and endanger Meizhou.

Gu Xiaozhao didn't pay attention to those guys, he just said very simply, cherish!

Without his intuitive sense of danger, if these people in front of him could listen to him and return the same way as before, if they were lucky, half of them would have survived, of course, if they didn't return the same way, or if they were unlucky, it was not impossible for them to survive.

After seeing off Lei Dan and the others, who fled in a hurry as relieved, Gu Xiaozhao turned his head to look at Su Qiao'er.

"Are you scared?"

Su Qiao'er shook her head and said with a smile.

"Don't be afraid!"

If she can decide for herself, Gu Xiaozhao naturally doesn't want Su Qiao'er to accompany her to the adventure, many times, this little girl can't help, it's more like a burden, however, this trip to Meishan is also Su Qiao'er's task, she also got information from the Aoki clan, and she has to enter Meishan with Gu Xiaozhao.

In other words, she was controlled by the Aoki clan at this time.

In fact, Gu Xiaozhao has a method, and if he works harder, he can also expel the green leaf from Su Qiao'er's sea of knowledge, and lift the Aoki clan's imprisonment of Su Qiao'er, but this will also startle the snake, for the time being, the time in front of him is not right, and he must find a better time.

"Then let's go, follow me carefully......"

Then, Gu Xiaozhao walked forward along the huge black rock, and Su Qiao'er followed closely behind him.

After the temptation of the past few days, Gu Xiaozhao already has some understanding of the existence in the dark, the breath coming from the darkness is very similar to what he sensed in the mirror world, although, one is the boundless desire for pain, and the other is the greed that wants to devour everything, however, the origin of the two is the same, from the same world.

Yes, this forbidden land is also a type of mirror world.

If the mirror world in the bronze mirror is immature and unstable, then this forbidden place in the depths of Meishan has tended to be stable.

During the day, it's still the real world.

Once the darkness falls at night, it becomes a mirror world, communicating with another world, so that there is something strange hidden in the darkness, omnipresent and omnipotent.

If the breath leaking from the bronze mirror is nothing more than a trickle, the dark existence that pervades this forbidden area is like a great river, and the stock of the two cannot be compared.

As for why didn't the darkness extend beyond the forbidden area, only pervade within a radius of hundreds of miles?

For this reason, Gu Xiaozhao also had some guesses, and he believed that his guesses were not much different from the truth.

Now, the time has come to validate that guess!

Not long after walking around this black boulder, Gu Xiaozhao and Su Qiao'er came to a passage, a narrow passage that could only accommodate two people side by side, as if someone had used a huge long sword to cut down from the sky, and forcibly split this black boulder in half, and this road was the sword mark.

Standing outside, Gu Xiaozhao looked into the corridor with all his eyes.

It was pitch black inside, the darkness rolled like mist, and the eyes could not penetrate it at all, and now although it was daylight, the light fell from the sky into the corridor, and it was swallowed up by the darkness in an instant. Yes, inside the corridor is the darkness hidden by those beings, and as soon as the sky is dark, they will rush out of the corridor and fill with the darkness.

This black boulder was the main body of the ancient formation, trapping the darkness in the corridor.

Yes, this ancient great array is not one with the mirror world, the aura that Gu Xiaozhao sensed is very different from the dark existence, these are two rule systems that are incompatible, and they are natural enemies of each other, the aura emitted by this formation is related to the heavenly dao of this world, and the dark existence is an alien intruder.

I don't know when this formation was laid by whom?

In the past, it may be possible to lock up this dark existence and cut off the connection with that world, but later, as the years go by, I don't know if something went wrong, and there is a gap in the formation, and a dark aura comes from that world, and in the end, it spreads for hundreds of miles, turning this place into a forbidden area.

What's in it?

Just when Gu Xiaozhao stopped, the bronze mirror in his arms suddenly became slightly hot, and there was a shock.

"Get in, quick!"

In his ears, the voice of Peach Blossom Zhenjun came, and there was a trace of irrepressible excitement in it.

After entering the mountain, this is the first time that Peach Blossom Zhenjun has spoken.

At this time, Gu Xiaozhao knew that in the sea, the green leaf slowly turned, and there was a green light shining, and Gu Xiaozhao also got a hint of information, the content of the message was very simple, and it was also for him to hurry in.

On his side, Su Qiao'er's eyes suddenly became dull, and she took a step and stepped into the corridor with a blank expression.

Gu Xiaozhao pursed his lips slightly and grabbed Su Qiaoer's sleeve, but did not pull her to stop leaving, but stepped into the corridor with her.

As soon as you step into the corridor, you will see a whirlwind in front of you.

Gu Xiaozhao tightly grabbed Su Qiao'er's sleeve, infiltrated a trace of thought into the other party's sea of knowledge, and lurked silently, so that he had Su Qiao'er's breath, even if he was separated, he would find it.
