Chapter 169: Impermanence demands life, no one is alive, only the dead come to Night Hell Valley
The defenders of the path were shattered, the illusion collapsed, and the Illusion Forest Road took on its original appearance.
In the deepest part of the Phantom Forest Road, a gate stands surrounded by smoke and dust, with the words "Night Hell Valley" written on it.
Zhao Tai, Qi Yan and other Dark Wolf Guards all had shocked expressions on their faces.
Xiao Nuo stood among the broken shadows in the sky, standing with a knife behind his back, but his eyes were not on the entrance of Night Hell Valley.
At this moment, a red gem was suspended in front of Xiao Nuo.
The red gem fell on his palm, exuding a strange feeling.
If you keep staring at the gem, you will see a wisp of ripples spreading out slightly.
This is what Xiao Nuo dropped from the defender after he beheaded him just now.
No matter how he looked at it, Xiao Nuo felt that it was the eye of the roadkeeper.
"The Eye of the Roadkeeper is also called... the Eye of the Illusory Demon!" The tower spirit's voice reached Xiao Nuo's ears.
"Huh?" Xiao Nuo's heart moved slightly, and he asked secretly, "What's the use?"
The tower spirit replied, "For you now, this object is quite rare. It contains quite a lot of spiritual energy. If you can refine it, you will have the ability to 'see through illusions' and 'create illusions'
…”
Xiao Nuo's eyes suddenly lit up: "See through the illusion?"
"Yes, although not all illusions can be seen through, most illusions can be restrained... Of course, you can't refine it now..."
"Why?"
"The Eye of the Pathkeeper has powerful hallucinogenic abilities, and your current strength is not enough to control it."
"When?" Xiao Nuo asked.
"When you step into the second level of "" and evolve into the holy body, you can refine it."
"Um!"
Xiao Nuo nodded, clenched his fists with five fingers, and firmly grasped the Eye of the Roadkeeper in his hand.
Something that even the pagoda spirits can affirm is certainly not an ordinary thing.
Moreover, Xiao Nuo witnessed with his own eyes how strong the road guard was just now.
The Dark Wolf Guard, one of the ten guards of the Sky Patrol Division of the Beiji Dynasty, has been unable to do anything against the opponent from the beginning to the end. If Xiao Nuo hadn't found the weakness of the defenders, everyone would have been trapped forever.
In this illusion.
The sound of footsteps was heard, and Zhao Tai led the remaining Dark Wolf Guards to Xiao Nuo's side.
"Brother Xiao, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Xiao Nuo turned around and looked at the other person.
"Thanks to you, otherwise we would be stuck here this time." Zhao Tai expressed his gratitude to Xiao Nuo.
“It’s not my fault alone!”
Xiao Nuo replied lightly, then nodded to Zhao Tai, and then walked towards the gate of Night Hell Valley.
Qi Yan, who was behind Zhao Tai, was slightly startled. The way she looked at Xiao Nuo changed slightly from just now.
Then, a Dark Wolf Guard came forward to report.
"Chief Guard, eleven brothers were lost in this battle..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone else showed expressions of sadness and pain.
This time, only about twenty people came to investigate the "missing villagers case". Unexpectedly, half of them were lost in the first battle. This made Zhao Tai, the chief of guard, both sad and self-blame.
"Put away the body of the dead brother. The case has not been fully investigated. It is not the time to grieve..."
Zhao Tai quickly collected his emotions. After all, he is the leader of the team and needs to lead by example no matter what the situation.
Afterwards, Zhao Tai, Qi Yan and others followed Xiao Nuo to the entrance of Night Hell Valley.
This is a stone gate hundreds of meters high.
To be precise, it is a gate.
There is the main door in the middle and auxiliary doors on both sides.
Next to the two auxiliary doors, there is a stone statue. The stone statue has a ferocious face, almost like an evil ghost.
Inside the stone gate, mist surged, and it was difficult to see clearly what was going on inside from the outside.
"There is no seal here..." Xiao Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly, with a bit of doubt on his face.
More than ten years ago, the Ghost Lord of the Underworld Sect practiced the last level of the "Underworld Dafa" in the Night Hell Valley, but due to the interference of hostile forces, the breakthrough failed.
Before his death, the Ghost Lord sealed the Night Hell Valley and perished with many enemies.
According to normal circumstances, the Night Hell Valley should be closed today.
But Xiao Nuo was not aware of the prohibition and road closure.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing!
The good thing is that Xiao Nuo can enter the Night Hell Valley to find the spiritual fire "Ancient Flame of Erosion".
The disadvantage is that the situation inside is full of unknowns.
Combined with the bizarre events that have occurred around the Beichi Dynasty recently, there is a high probability that it is related to the Night Hell Valley.
You may encounter unexpected troubles if you go in this time.
However, now that he has come, Xiao Nuo naturally does not want to stop there.
Immediately, Xiao Nuo stepped directly into the gate of Night Hell Valley.
Zhao Tai, Qi Yan and other Dark Wolf Guards from the Bei Chi Dynasty did not hesitate too much, and they quickly followed inside.
…
Night Hell Valley!
As rumored by the outside world, this area seems to have never been visited by the sun.
As soon as we entered the valley, we felt a rather cold Yin Qi.
However, Night Hell Valley and Xiao Nuo had different thoughts. This place was neither barren nor desolate...
It can even be said that Night Hell Valley is quite "prosperous".
Night Hell Valley is so big that there is even a city built in the valley.
After a while, Xiao Nuo, Zhao Tai, Qi Yan and others arrived in a city.
This city is very old, and the buildings in the city are all very chronological, such as arrow towers made of wood; spring pools that have dried up long ago; and those giant beast sculptures; they are all different from those outside...
Xiao Nuo walked in front.
Zhao Tai, Qi Yan and others also began to investigate and search in the city.
"what is that?"
Suddenly, a Dark Wolf Guard exclaimed.
"Um?"
Zhao Tai, Qi Yan and others immediately headed in that direction.
Xiao Nuo also looked over there.
"What happened?" Qi Yan came to the side of the Dark Wolf Guard.
The latter raised his hand and pointed upward, "Look!"
Everyone looked up and saw an extremely huge black tree coming into view in the center of the ancient city.
The big tree was not a normal green, but a dull black color, even the leaves were the same.
Most of the strange black tree is hidden in the fog, and no one can see its full picture. It is like an ancient giant beast hiding in the fog, which makes people feel uneasy.
"What's hanging on the tree?" Qi Yan asked solemnly.
Xiao Nuo, Zhao Tai and others couldn't help but narrowed their eyes and looked around. There were things similar to silkworm cocoons hanging on the strange black tree...
Of course, the hanging things are much larger than silkworm cocoons. Each of them is two or three meters long and made of wood and vines. They seem to be quite numerous.
"Go over and take a look... stay vigilant!" Zhao Tai said.
"yes!"
Everyone went forward to explore.
The closer you are to the big black tree, the stronger the weird aura you can feel.
"How big is this big tree?" Xiao Nuo stood under the tree and looked up.
Those protruding tree poles are like the big hands of monsters and monsters, with many "cocoon-like objects" hanging on them.
at this time……
A burst of nursery rhymes suddenly came, and everyone's eyes tightened. Under the big tree in front of them, they saw a little girl wearing a floral dress and two braids squatting on the ground, drawing pictures with branches.
The little girl had her back to everyone. Judging from her back, she looked about five or six years old.
This scene was already weird, and the nursery rhyme she sang was even more... creepy.
"Night Hell Valley, Night Hell Valley, the ghost king comes out in the middle of the night!"
"The ghost king is coming out, the ghost king is coming out, the whole village is crying!"
"Everyone is crying, everyone is crying, impermanence demands life and no one is alive!"
"There are no living people, there are no living people, only the dead come to the Night Hell Valley!"
"Night Hell Valley, Night Hell Valley, the ghost king comes out in the middle of the night... The ghost king comes out, the ghost king comes out, the whole village, old and young, is crying..."
