In the early morning of the next day, after the two of them simply packed up at dawn, they set off for the mountains.

Passing through the town of Koyanagi, you will be greeted by a bleak scene, the town is lifeless, surrounded by a faint mist, the streets are stained with blood, and the smoke and fire are burning some of the corners of the houses.

"The whole village and town, hundreds of households, hundreds of people, just gone. ”

Xiu Yu's face was not good-looking, these were innocent ordinary people, and they had to suffer such an unwarranted disaster, and they didn't know how many of the people who escaped could be lucky to survive.

"The Phantom is a murderous thing in the world, and as long as it appears, it will inevitably set off a bloody storm and devastate the living beings. The phantom catastrophe in the ancient era, it is said that nearly thirty percent of the living beings in the world were slaughtered by the phantom, if it were not for the fact that a fairy was born later, I am afraid that there would be no peace in the world. ”

Every time he talks about the Phantom, Zi Mo will think of the tragic experience of that period of history.

"Yes..."Xiu Yu sighed: "Fortunately, this time it can be killed in time, otherwise it will really make the phantom grow, and I don't know how many innocent lives will be lost in vain." ”

Along the way, the two spent a day gathering all the corpses in the town and burying them on the spot. Most of the people in the town fled, leaving only some old people and dead households, and after doing all this, the two of them left in search of Xiuyu's perception.

The deceased is gone, and he is buried in peace.

Walking through a mountain range, what you see is the vast depression.

The mountains are lifeless, and the corpses of some large beasts can always be seen in the near distance. Some had their bodies pierced, their hearts taken out alive, and some had their throats stained with blood, apparently bitten and torn to death.

The two of them walked for a long time before they saw some small animals, scattered and scattered, fleeing in all directions in the huge forest.

The Phantom was terrifying, and a mountain range of creatures was almost slaughtered.

The two of them trekked through mountains and rivers, Xiuyu's perception became clearer and clearer, looking for some inexplicable feeling, they came to a gloomy mountain range.

"It turns out that the horizon has changed, and it turns out that this is where the problem comes from!?"

Zi Mo looked at this mountain range in disbelief.

A month ago, I had seen from afar in the bamboo forest that the color of the sky had changed, and I thought it was caused by celestial phenomena, but I never thought that when the two of them found this place, it would be a different situation.

This mountain range has become a completely gloomy mountain range. The sky is gray, black clouds cover most of the sky, the continuous mountains are covered with black mist, the flowers and trees are exhausted, and even the earth is dyed gray.

Standing at the entrance of the mountain range, you will unconsciously feel cold.

"Do you want to go in again? It seems unusual here, I'm afraid something bad will happen. ”

Zi Mo hesitated slightly, she always felt panicked in her heart, it looked too weird here, I am afraid that there would be no life characteristics in the mountain range.

Xiuyu also stopped at the edge of the mountain range, just watching from a distance, not stepping on it. His expression seemed to be a little wrong, and he became a little blank.

The moment he stood at the gloomy entrance, he had already closed his eyes, and a ghost claw appeared in his mind for some reason...... A picture came to mind......

In the secluded mountains, on top of the highest peaks, a stone wall reflects dark ripples...... Inside the ripples was a deep cavern, covered with moss, and the sound of dripping water fell low to the ground...... A strange feeling of familiarity and strangeness came to his mind.

Xiu Yu opened his eyes, shook off his somewhat tired head, and said stiffly: "The nest is inside, I can sense the location of the nest, and there doesn't seem to be any danger." ”

Zi Mo frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, he said: "Let's go in and have a look, anyway, the phantom is dead, and the place that can give birth to the phantom must be unusual, maybe there will be something new." ”

Xiu Yu rushed forward and took the first step in.

The two walked slowly, surrounded by gray space, the earth, flowers, and trees seemed to be dyed with gray paint, there was no wind, no living creatures, only endless silence, endless seclusion and weirdness.

The two of them walked to a mountain peak, a towering and dangerous peak, blocking the way ahead.

"What to do, there's no way. Why don't we go back, I always feel that there is something strange here......" Zi Mo said worriedly, from the moment she entered the mountain range, she had a feeling of unease, and as she went deeper and deeper, this feeling became stronger and stronger.

Xiu Yu closed his eyes intently, and suddenly a narrow path came to mind.

"Go, go to the side. He stiffly pointed in one direction.

Sure enough, on the side of the dangerous peak, there was a rugged and winding path.

The two walked up the path.

A quarter of an hour... Two quarters of an hour... Time passed little by little, and the quiet and cold atmosphere deepened little by little.

It seemed that after a long time, the two of them were sweating a little.

Zi Mo's face was a little pale, she gasped for breath, and said in a very low voice: "I feel very bad, as if something is pressing, unusually heavy." ”

"It's so weird, it's so eerie, I kind of regret coming in. ”

Xiu Yu's expression was in a trance, and he only felt that he had fallen into some kind of abyss, unable to extricate himself. That inexplicable feeling kept pulling him and forcing him to go on, and this thought became stronger and stronger......

Xiuyu didn't respond, just stiffly and slowly continued to walk.

Zi Mo didn't talk anymore, endured the discomfort, and followed behind. Her brow twitched slightly, and she always felt that something was wrong.

Finally, the sky in the mountain was completely dark, and it seemed that it was evening, and the two of them walked to the stone wall.

The stone walls are dark green, covered with moss, and ripples are heard.

"There's no way, let's go back......" Zi Mo looked around cautiously.

But Xiu Yu didn't seem to hear her words, only to see him stretch out his hand a little woodenly, touch the stone wall, ripples, but in an instant, he was pulled into the stone wall.

"Xiuyu!"

Zi Mo screamed, her eyelids jumped wildly, only to feel that there was an inexplicable crisis suddenly surging into her heart, as if she was stimulated by something, her heart roared violently, and a clear stream exploded.

She closed her eyes deeply, and then opened them quickly, and there was a horror and deep fear in her pupils.

It's weird!

There is an eerie silence here, permeated with some kind of oppressive power.

Her scalp was numb, and her whole body was indescribably cold, only to feel like a stinging pain of a thousand needles pricking her spine, and a crisis that was intense to the extreme abruptly rose.

Xiuyu was controlled! His behavior was so abnormal, it was not something that a person could do, and he stepped into the stone wall defenselessly......

Even she was affected by this strange atmosphere, and almost didn't think about it, so she stepped in in a hurry.

There's something wrong with this place! It can confuse people's hearts without knowing it!

Unconsciously, she recalled Xiuyu's performance along the way, Xiuyu didn't seem to be Xiuyu anymore!?

Confusion!

When did this happen?

Could it be the Phantom's toxin?

But Xiu Yu has already entered! Has he become a phantom?

Zi Mo looked anxious, and after pacing back and forth, he no longer hesitated, gritted his teeth and plunged into the stone wall.

She couldn't stay like this and abandon Xiuyu and run away alone.

"Xiuyu..."

"Xiuyu... Where are you?"

Zi Mo called out to Xiu Yu softly, this is a straight road, and Xiu Yu seems to have entered the cave.

Eerie atmosphere, cold coldness, eerie atmosphere, gray space...... The walls are covered with teal moss, and the sound of water is crisp and loud, creating a terrifying atmosphere for this secluded path.

When did Xiuyu go wrong?

She began to think about it.

His eyes were powerful and emotional, and he spoke of the lair where he could sense the Phantom.

No, they buried the dead villagers together.

Could it be the entrance to the mountains?

By the way, there must be something wrong here, after Xiu Yu stepped into this gloomy mountain range, he seemed to be hooked, and kept moving forward.

Why wasn't she affected?

No, it was affected, but at the last moment, she suddenly came to her senses.

By the way, it's the atmosphere here, the atmosphere here, it's too gloomy, it's too depressing, it's too weird, and it's so weird that people can't help but be confused...... Xiuyu must have been affected!

Zi Mo's heart rippled, and he finally recalled the crux of the problem.

Xiu Yu must have been affected by the Phantom Toxin, and the Seven Steps Daoist was not wrong, it turned out that there was no toxin that had been dormant in his body, and unconsciously, he brought the two of them to the Phantom's lair.

The nest is in danger!

Thinking of this, Zi Mo sped up and ran wildly along the narrow road.

Finally, she saw Xiuyu's back, and he was frozen there, motionless.

"Xiuyu..."

She tried to call out, but she couldn't get a response from Xiuyu.

"Xiuyu, can you hear me?"

She paced forward, her steps gently, and came behind Xiuyu, reaching out and gently placing her hand on his shoulder.

Suddenly, Xiu Yu's head turned around suddenly, and he twisted his head in an exaggerated arc, and with the sound of bones rubbing, the two collided head-on...... Zi Mo's pupils dilated infinitely in an instant, a thunderous roar exploded in her mind, panic and endless fear rose in vain, her body suddenly retreated, and a sharp scream burst out!

"Ahh

On Xiuyu's face, the dark green eyes reflected a terrifying glow, fangs grew out of his mouth, with a trace of scarlet blood spots, and his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears were marked with blood. His eyes were blank, even if there was a ghostly light projection, but there was no focal length, completely unconscious, like a phantom without intelligence, empty and weird, terrifying and terrifying!

"You... You... You..."

Zi Mo's face turned pale, Xiu Yu turned into a phantom!?

How is this possible!?

Is the Phantom's toxin really dormant inside him!?

Now the phantom toxin has attacked!?Xiuyu has become a phantom?

She staggered backwards and fell to the ground in one step, her limbs limp and her limp, looking feebly at the young man who was staring at her.

His body was frozen, except for the twisted bones of his skull.

A trace of tears unintentionally flowed from her eyes, and a sense of sadness rose weakly.

Xiu Yu stared at Zi Mo with vacant eyes, and after a while, he turned his head stiffly, raised his head, and looked at the sky above the cave.

With his gaze, Zi Mo finally saw the scene inside the cave.

A bronze coffin was suspended in the cave, and four huge chains were tied to the entire cave, emitting a terrifying black aura.

Wisps of black gas emerged from the green coffin and turned into pitch-black ghosts. The ghost let out a piercing shrill cry and hovered around the cave.

This is the Phantom's lair!?

A terrifying place that gave birth to phantom spirits!?
