"Should we wait until the fog clears before leaving?"
Wenying probed carefully. She didn't want her brother to forcibly "send" her back. Hanshang looked at her and Jiaomo with complicated expressions and didn't know what to do. She didn't know when the fog would dissipate, but if now
Dispersed actions will be more dangerous.
"Waiting all the time is not an option," he murmured.
"This is not an ordinary fog." Xie Zhe looked around, "It is a scene caused by the evil spirit. If the weather is like this, I can see the road clearly."
"Really?" Han Chang felt hopeful, but then fell into hesitation. He looked at his sister who was also worried and said, "But it's impossible for you to send them back and come back, right? Maybe the fog will clear on the way.
.But if we keep waiting like this, we don’t know when it will return to normal.”
"Everything in Shiyue Mountain is too abnormal." Jiao Mo shook his head and said, "No matter what decision you make, I can listen to your arrangements. I believe in you. Why don't you let Mr. Xie make the decision?"
Xie Zhe was still a little afraid of her asking this. Of course he knew that there was strength in numbers, but he also didn't want his friends to be in danger. He hesitated again and again, because he really couldn't bear the responsibility for anyone getting hurt. No matter Ling Yu or Mi Yin.
What happened was a very painful lesson for both of them, and they could not afford any more tragedies.
"I... still advise you to go back."
Wenying's eyes dimmed obviously, and she took a deep breath, as if she wanted to complain about something. But she was probably too uncomfortable, so she sat back and didn't say anything, but her face was bulging as if she was angry. Thank you.
Zhe further explained:
"Logically speaking, you all know how dangerous places like the Tengu Mound are. If there really is some terrible curse as rumored, none of the four of us should be spared."
"I'm not afraid!" Wenying immediately stood up and said, "My brother is gone, how can I..."
After saying that, she felt dizzy and sat down again. Seeing her like this, Hanshang naturally didn't allow her to take risks.
"Don't make trouble! If you also have a problem, who will take care of grandma!"
Wenying fell silent. Jiaomo stroked her hair to express comfort. Xie Zhe continued:
"Speaking selfishly... You have all heard what we said about Miss Ye and Miss Xue. I know that you are actually quite powerful, but even on the battlefield, there are no swords and no eyes, let alone in such a taboo place.
There should be more to say. So far, we haven’t encountered any trouble in Shiyue Mountain. I believe it will be safer for you to go back than to continue walking. We... really don’t dare to see more relatives and friends have accidents. I hope it’s just for us.
——”
"No need to say more." Jiao Mo raised a hand, "If you put it like this, of course I will understand."
"One more thing," Xie Zhe added, "if... there is really a big trouble in the rift valley of Shiyue Mountain, which affects the human world outside the Tengu Tomb, it will be terrible. I want to ask you, if
If something happens, the elderly in the mountain village can be evacuated. Although they choose to stay and face the danger,... we can't really see this happening. Now that you and I already know, we should stop it."
Han Zhang nodded repeatedly, and Jiao Mo understood completely. Only Wenying was still a little unhappy. Jiao Mo began to persuade her. She listened to Xie Zhe's words, but she was still a little unwilling. She lowered her face and felt uneasy on her feet.
The ground was rubbed back and forth. When Jiao Mo was talking to her, Han Zhang looked at her. He remembered that
In the past, when my sister couldn't transform into a human well, the fox's ears and tail were always exposed. This is a problem that almost all foxes will encounter when learning to transform. At that time, if anyone said anything to her, she would lose her temper.
If it gets old, it will droop its ears like now and sweep its tail back and forth like it's in a bad mood.
The more he remembered these things, the less he wanted to put Wenying in any danger.
"Okay, let's stay for a while." Jiao Mo said, "You go first. When the fog lifts, we will go down the mountain. If the fog lingers for too long, we will walk slowly."
Wenying stopped making excuses. With Jiaomo's help, she stood up slowly and kicked away a small stone at her feet. Hanshang didn't want to do too many farewell "rituals", and he was more worried that it would become something bad.
It's a sign. Normally, it's easier to meet again if you say goodbye casually and relaxedly. This is the experience he has gained from living in the world for many years.
So, only the two of them were left on the way to the Tengu Tomb. Of course Xie Zhe didn't fool them, he could indeed see clearly how to move forward. However, Kanna Wujun's aura was completely covered by the chaotic evil spirit, and Han Sheng could not
They finally figured out the right path. Along the way, they all had their own thoughts and remained silent. The only thing that both of them were aware of was the curse on Tengu Tomb, which neither of them mentioned again.
It doesn't matter... Since Kanna-kun is here, nothing will happen.
Probably.
After walking for a long time, the fog has not dissipated. I wonder what happened to the two girls. It must be almost noon now, right? But the sun has no intention of showing up at all. Looking from a distance, the fog all around is gray and white.
The sky was still dim and everything was hazy. At this moment, Han Shang pricked up his ears.
"I seemed to hear something..."
"What sound?"
"A... sound that's hard to describe." Han Chang gestured, "It's like the wind beating on the window, but it's also like... the sound of metal and mica, mixed with some weird breaking sounds."
"What's your description?" Xie Zhe's eyes widened, "Why didn't I hear anything? And what on earth can make the sound you said?"
"Follow me."
Without saying a word, Han Zhang suddenly ran forward, as if he no longer needed Xie Zhe's guidance. Xie Zhe had to follow quickly. The terrain became steeper and steeper, and several times they had to use their hands and feet.
Han Zhang is extremely good at these things, which is a shame for Xie Zhe. Although his speed is not slow, compared to this purebred monster, it is still too slow.
Finally, they arrived at the top of the mountain.
The moment we reached the top of the mountain, all the fog disappeared. Looking back, we could still see a hazy mist, but the scenery in front of us was so clear that it was like two worlds. Xie Zhe adjusted his breath and looked around.
Looking at it, the cliff is indeed not as straight as the legend says, and it does not look like it was carved out by a big axe. Probably first, it is due to wind and rain erosion, and the structure of the cliff is uneven;
This goes back and forth...
The mountains on the other side were almost level with this side. Because the distance was too far, he was not sure whether there was fog there. He looked at the bottomless mountain stream in front of him again, feeling that if he took another step forward, he would be able to feel it.
The cold is not summer.
"Thank you, look over there!"
Han Zhang suddenly pointed to the front on the right. Xie Zhe looked over and saw an unusual scene. Someone was in the rift valley - even hanging in the air! The man's feet felt like walking on the ground, as if he was stepping on the ground.
On the solid floor invisible to the naked eye. And he was holding a weapon and moving towards it again and again.
Attack from the front. On both sides of him are Shiyue Mountain, and in front and behind him are pitch-black abyss. He is not afraid at all, but just slashes tirelessly with his sword. Sometimes he uses too much force, and he has to take advantage of the situation.
A somersault, falling to the ground from a high place, then adjusting the posture again and launching an attack.
If Xie Zhe saw it correctly, the pair of scimitars were clearly black and white. He and Han Zhang understood it in their minds and immediately rushed in that direction along the cliff. As they got closer and closer, the sound that Han Zhang described could be heard.
It became clearer and clearer. Xie Zhe realized that his description was appropriate enough, but if he were to explain it himself, he might not be able to explain it.
When the two of them approached Kanna-kun, they both vaguely discovered that the transparent front he hit was not that transparent. It seemed like there was a huge spider web woven between the two cliffs. The scenery in the middle was very
It is broken, like a piece of clear glass, with cracks spreading in the center after being hit hard. Even the dim sky, seen through this, becomes piece by piece, with extremely thin lines in the center that make them join together.
Appears distorted.
"Kanna-kun!"
Han Zang shouted, but Kanna-kun probably didn't hear it. The two of them were still some distance away from him, not to mention that Kanna-kun's voice was too harsh. Although the propagation power is not very strong, once you can hear it clearly,
It was too loud. Just after he shouted Kanna-kun three times in a row, a strange light suddenly overflowed from the center of the "spider web". The light was so bizarre that the entire cracked barrier became colorful, like
Multi-colored glass patchwork
As for its aesthetic value, these three outsiders don't know how to appreciate it. The gorgeous light overflows from the irregular holes, and the colorful light pillars are still rotating. I don't know how weird the interior is. Kanna-kun
He stabbed a white knife in hard, and the blade refracted the light elsewhere. Although the beam of light was very thin, it penetrated straight into the sky and was projected into the dusty yellow sky. Then, he twisted the blade hard to widen the hole.
Even though they were that far away, they could still feel the strong violent energy gushing out. It was not just the simple demon power, but also the powerful and undisguised desire to kill. These ominous preludes were obviously enough to dissuade anyone who came close.
, but Shenwu
Jun jumped up and rushed straight into the cave that was torn to two feet. The moment he disappeared, there was another burst of thunder in the air. This time it was more terrifying than any last night, and the light penetrated the dust layer in the air.
It seemed like it was tearing the sky in half.
It's almost like a warning sign.
Suddenly, the two of them found that the crack that Kanna-kun crossed was slowly getting smaller. The transparent barrier was healing itself, at a speed that could be noticed by others, neither too fast nor too slow. The two speeded up and worked together in unison.
He wanted to trace the past for his life. Han Chang didn't think much about it and moved toward Xuan.
Xie Zhe jumped down the cliff and was so frightened that his heart almost stopped. But his risky judgment was correct. He really did not fall and stood firm like Shen Wujun. But Xie Zhe knew that,
Once the gap is restored to its original state, I'm afraid this invisible platform will really be unstoppable.
Xie Zhe calmed down and took a big leap, jumping onto the empty platform. But for a moment, he clearly felt that he had stepped on empty space. He ran away, and the "ground" behind him was constantly crumbling and disintegrating. He only went down.
After a glance, the dark and empty abyss
It made him confused. He immediately raised his head, and all he could see was Han Shang's back. After he jumped into the gradually closing crack, Xie Zhe squeezed in with all his strength. I'm afraid if he was a step too late, he would be trapped.
It was stuck in the barrier. As for the consequences, he didn't dare to think about it.
The two of them were panting and collecting themselves. After regaining their senses, they raised their heads and looked at this unfamiliar territory.
