The huge city was now in ruins. Without the monsters to hold them back, everyone naturally reached the deepest part of the City of the Dead, the "Palace of the Dead," without any effort!
The dim air did not dissipate because of the collapse of the iron tree. Instead, it became even more gloomy, as if there were countless dark gray bubbles floating around everyone, making people breathless. ┌ .
feissuzw.
┐
The tall and majestic Palace of the Dead stands straight in front of everyone. Coupled with the surrounding environment, it adds a touch of mystery to the already eerie palace.
The palace is dark in color and made entirely of large stones. It is simple and vicissitudes of life, giving people a heavy and profound feeling.
Right in front of the palace, two huge stone doors several meters high are covered with all kinds of strange murals. They look a bit nondescript, but it makes people unconsciously feel a kind of coldness coming from the bone marrow.
!
Looking at the palace so close in front of them, even a veteran like Zhong Baiqi couldn't help but swallow his saliva, obviously remembering the scene where they narrowly escaped death in the Capital of the Dead a few days ago.
"Fellow Taoist A Niu, can we go in now?"
After the platform battle in the past few days, Chen Feng has become the leader of this temporarily formed team.
Chen Feng frowned slightly, nodded, then walked slowly to the gate of the palace, stretched out his hand to touch the mural on the gate, and seemed to be in no hurry to push the door open!
Zhong Baiqi and Wenqing looked at each other and rushed to catch up. The other monks walked a few steps to the door.
"A Niu, is there anything wrong with this mural?" Since Zhong Baiqi appeared, Wenqing no longer called Chen Feng the boss, but directly called him A Niu. After all, in the Zhong family's view, her words represented the coldness of the clear water.
Tan!
"This mural is so familiar!" Chen Feng muttered to himself in a low voice as if he didn't hear the words of inquiry, as if his whole heart was immersed in the mural.
"Familiar?" Qingqing Liu's eyebrows moved, and she stopped talking. Instead, like Chen Feng, she looked at the mural carefully, but after looking for a long time, she still didn't feel anything strange.
"Friend Wenqing, do you understand the meaning of this mural?" Zhong Baiqi also looked at it for a long time, but couldn't figure out the reason. After thinking for a while, he turned to Wenqing and said.
"Haha, even with Zhong Daoyou's experience, I can't understand the meaning of this mural. How can I be so virtuous and capable? Naturally, I can't tell it!" Wenqing smiled bitterly and shook his head.
In fact, according to the seniority of the two of them, Wenqing is a newcomer to the inner realm, so Zhong Baiqi should be called senior. However, as the leader of a gang, she can only be called a Taoist friend.
"I think most of the things depicted here are about people and ghosts. Maybe it has something to do with the beliefs of the previous owner of this palace!" At this time, an old man standing behind Zhong Baiqi said.
After listening to the old man's words, several people nodded at the same time, agreeing with him.
Chen Feng kept looking at the stone door up and down. He always felt that it was familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen this thing before. In desperation, Chen Feng had no choice but to take back his hand, turned to the crowd and said, "I can't see it either.
The implication is, let’s go in and talk about it later!”
After saying this, Chen Feng put his hands on the stone door and pushed hard. He heard a muffled sound and the stone door slowly opened. A harsh friction sound, like a needle, penetrated into the ears of several people.
Frowning slightly, everyone moved their spiritual thoughts slightly, moving their spiritual energy to their ears to isolate the sound, and then looked at the door with concentration.
"What is this?" Looking at the darkness inside the door, Chen Feng felt a little surprised, and then slowly entered it. However, as soon as he entered, he was shocked to find that the surroundings were deserted. It was not inside the palace at all, let alone going upstairs.
Stairs!
"It's so weird here, as if it's another dimension!" Everyone filed in. After everyone entered the deserted area and looked around, Zhong Baiqi said.
"It shouldn't be like this!" Chen Feng turned around, only to find that the road back had disappeared, and there was only a black desolation around him.
No, the map clearly indicates that the teleportation stele is at the top of the City of the Dead, but there is nothing around. How do I get to the top?
"Everyone, please pay attention, there may be something weird here!" Chen Feng's thoughts suddenly changed and he ordered repeatedly.
"Light up the surroundings!" As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, Zhong Baiqi shouted loudly. At the same time, five monks from the Zhong family hurriedly appeared.
I saw five monks making secrets with their hands, tapping the surrounding air lightly, and five divine flowers suddenly rose up and appeared above the crowd. Immediately, the five divine flowers converged towards the heads of everyone like lightning, and in a moment they turned into a lamp.
The huge five-color lantern exudes brilliant light, illuminating the surroundings for miles.
"Okay!" Chen Feng secretly praised when he saw the five-colored lanterns hanging above everyone's heads, and then looked around.
"Fellow Taoist A Niu, look over there!" Chen Feng looked into the distance, his eyes wandering in the field of vision shrouded in five-color divine light. But while Chen Feng was watching, a monk from the Zhong family suddenly pointed towards the distance.
shouted loudly.
"Huh?" Chen Feng was slightly startled. He looked in the direction pointed by the monk, and saw a looming scarlet in the sky in the distance. It would be difficult to spot it without careful observation.
Quickly running his spiritual thoughts, Chen Feng enveloped the red dots. After a moment, his expression suddenly changed and he froze on the spot.
"Then, that seems to be a teleportation stone! Could it be that this is the last floor of the Palace of the Dead, or that the Palace of the Dead actually only has one floor?" Chen Feng thought to himself in astonishment, and at the same time turned to look at Zhong Baiqi.
"Hey, how come there is a teleportation stone here?" A trace of suspicion flashed across Zhong Baiqi's face, but he was even more sure of the authenticity of the thing in front of him!
After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Chen Feng murmured: "No matter what it is, you can tell it by looking at it!"
"Okay!" Zhong Baiqi nodded and said solemnly, then waved to the monks behind him, and everyone walked slowly and cautiously towards the teleportation stone in the distance.
The teleportation stone was only a few miles away from everyone, but everyone walked very slowly because they did not believe that it was so peaceful here.
Sure enough, just after everyone had walked less than a thousand meters, a monk from the Zhong family suddenly shouted and stopped everyone: "Guardian Zuo, there is danger here!"
The sound was like a thunder, causing everyone to stamp their feet. Zhong Baiqi was shocked all over. He turned his head to look at the monk and shouted: "What did you find?"
After saying this, the monks sacrificed their spiritual weapons one after another and looked around nervously.
"Go back, go back to Protector Zuo, we seem to have fewer people!"
Um? Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then quickly looked at the monks around them, but at first glance, a chill suddenly rose in their hearts.
I saw that among the more than forty monks of the Zhong family who had originally come in, in less than half a quarter of an hour, only more than thirty people were left. And those more than ten monks disappeared without anyone noticing.
In this mysterious area!
"Why, how could this happen?" Zhong Baiqi was stunned on the spot. The other monks looked at each other, looking at each other in shock, not knowing what happened.
Silence, deathly silence, the teleportation stone in the distance is now less than three miles away from everyone, but no one dares to take a step forward, as if this short distance is the dividing line between life and death.
It's the gap between heaven and hell!
"Everyone be on alert, stay still, and observe what hit you!" Chen Feng issued an order, and then his eyes were like lightning as he kept wandering around the field.
A moment later, a monk's body shook violently, a look of horror flashed across his face, and before he could speak, he was dragged straight into the ground by something!
"***!" The scalps of everyone watching this situation were numb. Chen Feng didn't think too much. He moved and walked to the place where the monk disappeared. With a wave of his hand, a golden divine flower burst out of his body and struck fiercely.
Smashed it hard to the ground.
"Boom!" There was an explosion, and a huge ravine was created on the ground by Chen Feng's powerful force. All the monks retreated towards the surroundings, but when the smoke and dust cleared, everyone was shocked to find that the ground was actually solid.
, and where is there any trace of the monk in the ravine?
Buzz! Chen Feng felt a dizziness in his head. From the moment he took action until the monk disappeared, it was just a matter of breaths. Even if there really was no mechanism underground, the monk's body should have been found, but what did the scene in front of him prove?
?Are there really ghosts in this world?
"Guardian Zuo, save me 7e" When everyone was ###, another scream came. Everyone hurriedly looked towards the sound, but saw another Zhong family monk, ### sank to the bottom, almost
Due to conditioned reflex, Chen Feng took action again, but in the end he got nothing.
"I...I...I think I saw it!"
A trembling voice sounded faintly. Although the voice was extremely low, in this silent space, everyone could still hear it extremely clearly.
"Did you see it? What did you see? Tell me quickly!" A sharp look flashed across Chen Feng's face and he asked hurriedly. However, he saw the Zhong family monk, trembling all over and with extremely frightened eyes, stammering.
"I...I saw...in his shadow, a pair of dry hands appeared. That...that hand grabbed his feet, and then pulled him directly into the ground!"
"Shadow?" Chen Feng shouted, and immediately looked at his shadow, his face turned pale. Didn't he and others escape the curse of the City of the Dead? But it shouldn't be, the timekeeping task has been completed, and he has already
I got rewards and spiritual energy, so why is this still happening?
Just when Chen Feng and everyone else were in shock, a strange feeling suddenly arose in Chen Feng's heart. Chen Feng flew up almost out of reflex, but saw a pair of withered hands in his own shadow.
He reached out and grabbed his own foot.
And it was when these withered hands grabbed Chen Feng's ankles that Chen Feng suddenly understood. It turned out that those monks were not pulled into the ground at all, but were pulled into his own shadow, and behind this shadow.
The monster in it is the "Shadow Phantom" in ancient legends!
