The town was exactly the same as outside, but in front of Xiao Nuo, there were many strange-looking monsters wandering around...
Not only Xiao Nuo, but also Zhao Tai, Qi Yan and other people from the Sky Patrol Division of the Bei Chi Dynasty also showed signs of astonishment after entering inside.
"What are these?" one of the Dark Wolf Guards said with a hint of horror.
"How weird!" Another person also said.
As members of the Dark Wolf Guard, one of the ten guards of the Sky Patrol Division, they have handled many bizarre cases.
But when they saw the current scene, many people were still shocked and their scalps were numb.
At this time, those monsters seemed to have discovered the group of "intruders".
They all turned their heads and walked towards this side.
The way they walk is quite weird. Some have long arms and legs, moving like bamboo poles; some are as fat as balls, suspended in mid-air, slowly floating over; and there is the human-brain spider.
A monster with a body, six claws criss-crossing and crawling, not to mention how weird...
No one has ever seen such a scene before. Just when they pulled out their weapons and were about to take action, Xiao Nuo suddenly said, "Lower your heads and don't stare into their eyes!"
Everyone was startled.
Just as Qi Yan was about to open his mouth to curse, Zhao Tai, the captain of the Dark Wolf Guard, suddenly remembered something. He immediately said, "Lower your head, don't look into their eyes..."
"Chief Guard?" Qi Yan was puzzled.
"Do not ask!"
Zhao Tai is different from Xiao Nuo. He is the leader of everyone. All the Dark Wolf Guards immediately lowered their heads.
Strangely enough, after all the monsters floated in front of us, they just turned around curiously, and no one launched an attack.
The nervous people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiao Nuo also relaxed, "It really works!"
Zhao Tai lowered his head, looked at Xiao Nuo's heels, and said, "Brother Xiao, it seems we have entered the 'Fantasy Forest Road'!"
Zhao Tai's inquiry was affirmed by Xiao Nuo, who replied, "Yes, this is the Huanlin Road. The monsters we see are all mountain spirits from the Huanlin Road!"
"Well, the mountain elves in Huanlin Road are special. They don't have very strong discrimination ability, and the only way they can distinguish the same kind is to stare into their eyes. As long as they don't look at each other for more than five numbers, they won't be recognized.
Come out, is that right?"
Zhao Tai asked.
"What Guard Chief Zhao Tai said is right!" Xiao Nuo did not deny it. "As long as you don't look into their eyes, they can't tell whether we are the same kind as them!"
Because he also saw it from the map Xuan Guili gave him.
There is an annotation on the map about "Fantasy Forest Road"
After entering the Phantom Forest Road, everything you see is not real.
There are many mountain spirits in the Phantom Forest Road. As long as you don't look at them, they won't be recognized as enemies.
The most important point is that the Phantom Forest Road is the only way to go to the "Night Hell Valley".
When Xiao Nuo realized that he had entered the Fantasy Forest Road, he was surprised and happy at first.
This shows that he accidentally found the way to the Night Hell Valley.
Just when all the men in black were hesitating about what to do next, Xiao Nuo made a move.
"Huh?" Zhao Tai's eyes narrowed slightly.
Qi Yan asked coldly, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Nuo replied calmly, "Of course we are going to Night Hell Valley!"
Xiao Nuo took one step, and then took the second step...
When he was outside before, Xiao Nuo had said that the purpose of his trip was Night Hell Valley, but everyone didn't know what method Xiao Nuo would use to move forward.
Qi Yan raised his head and looked in front of him, then immediately lowered his head.
She saw Xiao Nuo staring at the road and walking straight ahead.
After a while, Xiao Nuo walked out
A few meters away, although the monster mountain spirits on both sides of the street were milling around him, Xiao Nuo seemed to be unable to see anything and walked his own way...
Xiao Nuo recalled what was on the map
The Phantom Forest Road is actually a road leading to the Night Hell Valley. It is straight. No matter what you encounter or see, you just need to keep moving forward...
Seeing Xiao Nuo's action, Zhao Tai, the captain of the Dark Wolf Guard, immediately said, "Follow me. No one can raise their head without my order!"
"Chief Guard?" Qi Yan was a little reluctant.
Zhao Tai looked sideways and said, "What happened in the surrounding area during this period is very likely to be involved with that force. In order to confirm our suspicion, it is necessary to visit Night Hell Valley. If anyone is afraid, you can wait outside!"
"I...I'm not afraid!" Qi Yan gritted his teeth, obviously not confident enough to speak.
In an ancient town filled with monsters and mountain spirits, Xiao Nuo, Zhao Tai, and Qi Yan walked forward with their heads down.
In their eyes, the mountain spirits around them are weird, and in the eyes of these mountain spirits, these people are also weird.
From time to time, a few naughty "monsters" will come up to interfere.
Some mountain spirits will stretch their legs to block the road, some will pull people's hair, and some are more disgusting, extending their long tongues to lick people's faces...
Qi Yan, who was following Zhao Tai, wanted to have a seizure several times but managed to hold it back.
Sometimes people would accidentally see the eyes of the mountain elf monster, but they would immediately move away. As long as they didn't look at each other for more than five seconds, there wouldn't be any major problems.
Time passed slowly, and Xiao Nuo had no intention of stopping. After all, even he himself didn't know how long he would have to go.
Follow the directions on the map and just keep walking.
Suddenly, a wall appeared in front of everyone. Xiao Nuo was stunned for a moment, and then walked towards that wall.
Zhao Tai, Qi Yan and others who were following behind saw Xiao Nuo's behavior out of the corner of their eyes. One second, everyone was full of doubts, but the next second, Xiao Nuo suddenly walked through the wall.
"Isn't this guy afraid of breaking his head?" Qi Yan cursed secretly.
Zhao Tai chuckled lightly and said nothing.
Although Zhao Tai is one of the ten captains of the Sky Patrol Division, it is his first time to investigate this case, so the information obtained in a short period of time is naturally not perfect.
Previously, while Xiao Nuo was getting clues from Zhao Tai outside, Zhao Tai was also planning to get some useful information from Xiao Nuo.
Therefore, when Xiao Nuo left, Zhao Tai sent someone to follow him.
Later, they followed Xiao Nuo into the "Fantasy Forest Road".
Of course, Xiao Nuo himself also followed the method on the map.
As for whether it is right or wrong, it depends on whether Xuan Guili is reliable.
"Wow!"
Suddenly, when Xiao Nuo passed through the wall, he came to a huge palace city.
This palace city was very dark, especially the sky, as if it was blocked by large rocks.
The palace city is very empty.
On both sides are vast squares and city platforms, with a long aisle in the middle.
Stone pillars were erected on both sides of the aisle, and the tops of the stone pillars were burning with white flames.
Very empty!
This is what Xiao Nuo saw. There was nothing in the sky, not even a mountain spirit monster.
"All the monsters have disappeared..." Qi Yan was overjoyed.
Zhao Tai immediately said, "Don't look up, keep walking with your head down!"
Qi Yan wondered "Why?"
"The further you go to the back of the phantom forest road, the more difficult it becomes to walk. It is easier for people to get lost in the phantom here..."
Zhao Tai spoke solemnly, and at the same time he spoke louder, obviously intending to let Xiao Nuo hear it as a reminder.
It is not difficult to see that Zhao Tai did not just take advantage of Xiao Nuo. While the other party was leading the way, Zhao Tai would also provide appropriate and useful information.
Everyone continued to move forward.
Slowly, Xiao Nuo discovered that the already empty palace city suddenly became larger.
Originally, from the corner of my eye, I could still catch a glimpse of the surrounding city walls and palaces, but the further back I went, the farther away I could see.
This feeling is like Miyagi is expanding infinitely, or the figures of everyone are shrinking...
Once you have this kind of mentality, you will definitely feel uneasy.
Even Xiao Nuo felt an invisible pressure. This road seemed to be endless.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be almost unbearable at this time, but Xiao Nuo still chose to believe in Xuan Guili.
His heart is firm and he keeps moving forward.
Except for Zhao Tai, the burdens of everyone behind him are increasing, and many people have cold sweat on their foreheads...
"Did you hear anything?" At this time, someone asked.
"No!" replied the other "Did you hear that?"
"Well, I heard someone crying, and they were crying right next to my ear."
"Stop talking, I'm already covered in hair."
"Did you see something flying past just now?" Someone else made an uneasy voice.
"what?"
"I don't know either. In short, that thing is definitely not human."
"Oh my god!" Suddenly, someone couldn't help shouting.
"What happened?"
"I just saw something. That guy only had one eye on his face." The other party's voice was trembling.
"..."
Zhao Tai, who was walking in front, frowned and said in a deep voice, "No one is allowed to speak. The people behind put their hands on the shoulders of the people in front. If they can't hold on any longer, just close their eyes."
Everyone immediately followed what Zhao Tai said, putting their hands on the shoulders of the person in front, closing their eyes, and not thinking about anything.
Qi Yan also wanted to put her hand on Zhao Tai's shoulder, but she hesitated and did not do so.
"Aren't you afraid?" Zhao Tai asked in a low voice.
Qi Yan gritted his teeth and said firmly, "As the deputy chief of the Dark Wolf Guard, I can persevere."
Zhao Tai smiled and said, "That's good!"
Time is passing, and everyone feels that they have walked for a long time. They feel that the underground palace has become bigger, or they have become smaller...
At this scene, everyone except Xiao Nuo, Zhao Tai, and Qi Yan closed their eyes.
Along the way, they heard all kinds of weird sounds and saw weird and weird shadows... But none of the three raised their heads, they just looked at the road ahead...
Suddenly, a gust of cool breeze blew in the face, and everyone's minds were shocked, and then they felt that all the depressing atmosphere was swept away.
"We're here..." Zhao Tai said to Qi Yan, "You can raise your head now!"
Qi Yan was immediately happy. She raised her head and looked at Zhao Tai.
She felt a sense of accomplishment after victory.
But when Qi Yan showed a relaxed smile towards Zhao Tai, she suddenly discovered that Zhao Tai's face had become extremely strange...
"Hey, you saw me!"
The whole face of "Zhao Tai" in front of him began to distort, especially his eyes, which were staring straight at Qi Yan with a hint of
The coldness that penetrates into the soul.
Qi Yan was shocked and said, "Who are you?"
This shout immediately alarmed everyone.
Xiao Nuo, who was walking in the front, and the real Zhao Tai were suddenly startled.
"It's not good..." Zhao Tai yelled that it was not good.
The next second, the wind suddenly rose, and a cold air flow dispersed the team.
Everyone was awakened and subconsciously drew their weapons.
"Hey hey hey... You have all seen me, you have all seen me..." Weird laughter passed into everyone's ears, and a black smoke surrounded them, and then, a powerful aura
The monster appeared in mid-air...
This monster has a human form and is wearing a shabby black coat. Its hands are extremely sharp. They can't even be called hands, but "claws".
The most terrifying thing is its face.
There is only one red eye on the entire face, and other than that, there are no other facial features.
Even the voice it spoke didn't know where it came from.
Zhao Tai said in a deep voice, "This is the guardian of the Phantom Forest Road!"
Xiao Nuo's first reaction was also to meet the "roadkeeper".
Regarding the "Fantasy Forest Road", there is also a description on the map
In the Phantom Forest Road, there is a certain probability of encountering a 'Roadkeeper'. Different from other mountain spirits, the 'Roadkeeper' is more cunning. It will actively lure people who are 'suspected intruders' to look at it.
Once it is determined that the opponent is an outsider, the 'Roadkeepers' will kill them without hesitation...
Xiao Nuo has always been on guard, because he is the one walking at the front. Logically speaking, even if he encounters a 'roadkeeper', he will meet him first.
What I didn't expect was that the roadkeeper didn't choose Xiao Nuo and Zhao Tai, but asked Qi Yan to look at them.
After the stare-down was completed, the roadkeeper determined that Qi Yan was an outsider...
"Hehehehe, outsiders who think you are smart, I will kill you all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the eye on the roadkeeper's face glowed with light, and the next second, its body became illusory and transparent...
"Whoosh!"
It disappeared instantly.
Immediately afterwards, it appeared behind a Dark Wolf Guard.
"Be careful..." Zhao Tai warned loudly.
Before the Dark Wolf Guard could react, a huge claw pressed down and immediately twisted his head off...
"boom!"
Before he could even scream, the dark wolf guard's head was pulled off directly, and the blood splashing was so painful that his pupils were about to burst.
"Prepare for battle!"
Zhao Tai shouted loudly, and at the same time, he rushed towards the roadkeeper as quickly as possible.
"Qiang!" A long sword fell into Zhao Tai's hand, and the sword was as fast as lightning, slicing towards the defender's throat.
"call out!"
The long sword was like the moon, and the air flow split. Just when Zhao Tai's long sword was about to cut through the opponent's neck, with a "pop" sound, the defender disappeared in place like a broken bubble...
Zhao Tai's sword energy swept into the air, without even injuring the defender at all.
"Whoosh!" Immediately afterwards, a biting cold air hit Zhao Tai from behind...
"Chief Guard, come back!" Qi Yan shouted.
Zhao Tai immediately turned around, and just as he turned around, the road guard's sharp claws were already swinging towards him.
A flash of moon-like claw light suddenly appeared in the air, with a loud "boom" sound, and the sharp blade-like claw shadow fell on Zhao Tai's long sword...
The sword qi shattered and violent energy exploded. Zhao Tai was blown away more than ten meters by the defender. The long sword in his hand trembled, and at the same time a stream of blood flowed from the fingers holding the sword...
