Through these lights, Bai Ran saw things a little further away.
There were piles of fish and shrimps everywhere in the white area nearby, covering the nearby ground with a thick layer. And he and the woman were just on top of the higher pile.
In the distance, there was still a large area of darkness, and I couldn't see anything clearly. I just knew that the place seemed very wide, and I didn't see anything like a wall.
The men stopped about twenty or thirty feet away from Bai Ran.
They quickly put the leather bags on the ground, and then except for one person who stood and looked around vigilantly, the others were busy loading the fish and shrimp into the leather bags.
Seeing this situation, Bai Ran was a little surprised.
The woman on top of him couldn't help but let out a light sigh, but because the voice was so low that it was not noticed by the men, Bai Ran subconsciously looked at the woman's face.
As a result, in the faint red light, a beautiful and sweet face was vaguely revealed in the darkness.
The woman immediately noticed Bai Ran's wanton behavior as she looked at her, and a blush seemed to rise on her face. After twisting her neck slightly, her face was hidden in the darkness again, leaving only a pair of shy eyes.
Bright eyes, sparkling.
When Bai Ran saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.
This woman is quite interesting. When she couldn't see each other's faces, she seemed outspoken and a bit unruly. But now that she can see each other, she immediately becomes timid and shy.
The fierce feeling he had before was gone.
At this moment, a cry of surprise came from far away.
"Oops, retreat quickly, a fire-scaled beast is coming." The man on sentry suddenly turned around and growled at the other people.
Immediately, the men who were loading the fish immediately put all their bags on their backs and ran away in the other direction. Only two torches stuck on the ground were left flickering.
Almost at the same time, there were several long hissing sounds in the darkness in the distance, as if something had discovered these people. Then the sound of "bang" and "bang" of heavy objects falling to the ground came suddenly.
Several red figures about ten feet long shot out from the darkness, and then disappeared after a flash.
And in this short moment, Bai Ran saw clearly that the so-called "fire-scaled beast" was actually a ferocious monster with a leopard head and red scales, and a mouth full of sharp fangs exposed in its grinning mouth.
, seems to be extremely fierce.
In the blink of an eye, calm returned here.
Bai Ran let out a sigh of relief. The monsters didn't notice the two of them, which was a blessing among misfortunes.
After a while, Bai Ran gently clenched his fists with both hands, then hugged the woman on his chest and slowly stood up.
His body finally returned to normal and he could move freely.
"You... put me down, I'll be fine soon." The woman whispered in Bai Ran's arms, blushing.
"You're not afraid of being contaminated by this fishy smell, I don't care." Bai Ran looked at the woman and said lightly.
When the woman heard this, she lowered her head and looked at the fish and shrimps rolling all over the floor, with a look of hesitation on her face, and finally wisely said nothing more.
At this time, Bai Ran held the girl in his arms and jumped off the fish pile, walking towards the torches.
Although I don't know what the hell this place is, if there is really no light, I'm afraid it will be really troublesome.
He lowered his body slightly, Bai Ran stretched out his hand and pulled out a torch, raised his head and looked around, and then started thinking with a look of contemplation on his face.
"Put me down. I can move now." After a moment, the woman in his arms whispered in a blushing voice.
When Bai Ran heard this, he let go without saying a word, and the woman fell lightly to the ground. After adjusting her dress a little, she picked up the other torch and also looked around.
But at this moment, Bai Ran suddenly raised his legs and strode towards the direction where the men came.
"Where are you going?" When the woman saw this scene, she was shocked and asked hurriedly.
"I don't want to wait for those monsters to turn around, so I naturally have to find a safe place to talk." Bai Ran said without looking back.
When the woman heard that those monsters might return, her face showed a bit of fear. After a moment's hesitation, she hurriedly chased after Bai Xian.
Seeing this, Bai Ran didn't say anything and just walked ahead minding his own business.
After walking for more than a hundred feet, there were no fish or shrimps on the ground anymore. Instead, both feet stepped on a kind of soft black sand.
But after walking only a few steps on it, Bai Ran stopped and illuminated the ground with a torch, revealing some clear footprints.
It was the footprints left by those men when they walked over.
The woman behind was unprepared for a moment and almost bumped into Bai Ran's back. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"What happened?" she murmured.
Bai Ran didn't answer anything, but suddenly squatted down, reached out and grabbed a handful of sand on the ground, took a sniff under his nose, and then showed a strange look on his face.
"The smell of blood is very strong, this is not a kind place!" Bai Ran said this expressionlessly, and continued to move forward along the footprints of those men.
When the woman heard this, she was startled, and she did not dare to stay away from Bai Ran. The two people walked in tandem, and after walking for a long time, they finally found a faint blue light not far away.
Bai Ran narrowed his eyes and took a few glances, then quickened his pace.
As a result, when I got closer, I discovered that in the pitch-black place ahead, an exit with blue light appeared out of thin air. Although it was only about ten feet in size, it was more than enough for one person to pass through.
Seeing this, the two men became energetic and walked quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the exit. They got out one after another. But as soon as Bai Ran showed his head, a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and seven or eight swords as white as jade were placed on his neck at the same time. There was even more noise in his ears.
There came a cold voice.
"Who are you, Ahu and the others? Are you the new guy from outside?" The voice was a little hoarse, but it made Bai Ran's heart move.
At this time, more than 20 young men and women surrounded him. They were all holding strange weapons shining with white light and wearing the same strange green shirts as the previous men. They stared at Bai Ran with different expressions.
The person who asked him was a lean middle-aged man in his forties, staring at Bai Ran with strange eyes.
As for the sweet woman who followed him closely behind, she was surrounded by several other people on the other side and did not dare to move at all.
"I think we should be the new guys you call us! But do outsiders often come in here?" Bai Ran touched his nose and said with a wry smile.
"I can guess it even if you don't tell me. Only outsiders would dress like this. But you are lucky to have met us. After all, most outsiders haven't figured out what's going on here.
After that, he became the prey of the evil beast." After hearing Bai Ran's words, the middle-aged man's expression softened slightly, but his voice was still cold.
Then he waved his hand, and the men and women put away their white swords.
Bai Ran touched his neck, then looked at the weapons, with a look of surprise on his face.
Through the contact of his skin just now, he felt an astonishing scorching heat from these weapons. It was as if these swords were all red-hot irons, which was really weird.
At the same time, Bai Ran also glanced around. Only then did he realize that he was in front of a small rocky mountain. He had been staying in the belly of this rocky mountain just now. And in the distance, there was a large dark yellow desert, and he didn't know how big it was.
broad.
Looking up to the sky again, he was even more shocked.
All I could see was a dark sky, filled with pitch-black clouds with no end in sight. Among the dark clouds, there were several dark blue lightning bolts that kept jumping and ejecting, illuminating the place in a light blue color.
It looks extremely weird.
Before Bai Ran finished reading, the lean man opposite asked with a frown:
"Did you meet anyone else when you came out? Those people are our companions!"
"I saw a few, but they seemed to be chased by some monsters and ran in the other direction." Bai Ran answered immediately without hesitation.
"Monster! What kind of monster?" Upon hearing this, the lean man suddenly became nervous and couldn't help but tighten his grip on the weapon in his hand.
"I heard those people call them fire-scaled beasts."
"Fire Scale Beast! That's good. Ahu and the others should have no problem dealing with these Yin Beasts. But for the sake of safety, Fan Li, please take a few people to the other nearest exit and provide some support." The lean man relaxed for a moment.
He stood down and gave instructions in an orderly manner.
Immediately, a black man who looked like an iron tower hurriedly left with several men and women without saying a word.
"This time, I don't know whether I should say you are unlucky or lucky. You have encountered a once-in-a-hundred-year eruption of spiritual energy! This caused the cracks in the space to open much larger than usual. The people who encountered it
, no matter how capable you are,
There is nowhere to escape. But because of this, most of the Yin beasts that usually stay in the heart of the mountain have left this place. Otherwise, as soon as you fall in, you will be eaten clean." The lean man looked back.
Looking at the two people, he said calmly.
When Bai Ran heard this, his heart sank slightly. But on the surface, his expression remained unchanged as he asked:
"Excuse me for being so presumptuous! Can you tell us where exactly this place is? From what I heard, this place seems to be very dangerous."
"Danger? Hehe! How can the word "danger" be used to describe it? I don't care what you two do outside, or what extraordinary status you had as mortals in the past. But in this underworld, there are no guys who eat and drink together.
.As long as anyone can move, they must do their own thing. Otherwise, they will just feed the evil beast." The man looked at the clothes of the two of them again, as if he could see that he and the woman were not ordinary people, and said with a sneer.
Bai Ran frowned and wanted to ask something more, but the man waved his hand impatiently and said:
"Now is an extraordinary period, and I don't have time to explain anything in detail to you two outsiders. Let's wait until we get back to the village to talk about everything. After a while, a large number of Yin Beasts will return to their lair. Block this secret exit quickly.
Save it for later use." The man's last words were stern instructions to the others around him.
Immediately, the men and women picked up some rocks from nearby and blocked the exit tightly.
"Let's go. If everything goes well, Ahu and the others should meet us halfway. If we don't leave, we won't be able to go back when the wind blows." The lean man looked up at the clouds in the sky.
, said with a gloomy face.
Then he turned around and left. The other men and women followed closely without saying a word. No one even greeted Bai Ran or the woman.
Seeing this, Bai Ran's eyes flashed with strange light, revealing a hint of contemplation.
"Should we go with them?" The beautiful woman who was with Bai Ran couldn't help but asked a little uneasily when she saw those people gradually moving away, but Bai Ran was standing there, lowering his head and thinking about something.
Without her magic power, this woman is just a weak and helpless woman. Naturally, she regards Bai Ran, who is always calm and unhurried, as someone she can rely on.
"Go, why not go! Let's go to the so-called village first. Maybe we can find a way there to restore our mana. Bai Ran raised his head and said calmly. Then he looked at the backs of those people, no
No longer hesitant but stride forward.
The woman felt relieved and hurriedly followed Bai Xian.
"By the way, I don't know your Taoist friend's surname yet. My surname is Bai, and I am a casual cultivator." Bai Ran asked the woman casually while walking.
"My name is Mei Ning. I came here with my brother. I obviously breathed in the ghost mist with my brother, but why is he not here?" This beautiful woman is the gentle woman among the Mei brothers and sisters. At this moment, mentioning
He saw his brother, with a faint look of worry on his face.
"It's normal. Those black lightnings obviously have the ability to teleport randomly. We were teleported to the middle of the mountain, but your brother may have been teleported to other places. Otherwise, there were many monks at that time, and it would be impossible for just you and me to teleport there.
Here, look for it slowly in the future, and you can always reunite." Bai Ran said without changing his expression.
After hearing Bai Ran's words, the woman immediately felt relieved. But at the same time, she became very curious about Bai Ran.
The other person's face was ordinary and unfamiliar. She had never seen it before. Could it be a monk who entered the island from another direction? The woman guessed with some doubts.
This woman was full of questions and wanted to ask Bai Ran, but she felt that she was not very familiar with Bai Ran. She hesitated for a while and still did not speak.
Just when the woman was worried about gain and loss, the two of them rushed behind the group of people in front. Although they had no magic power, the body of the immortal cultivator that had been washed was far beyond that of ordinary mortals.
The lean man's eyes flashed strangely when he saw that the two of them could keep up with them without stopping. But he still didn't say anything, he just hurried on and speeded up by three points.
The pace of other men and women also became faster.
Seeing this situation, Bai Ran was slightly startled.
The movements and steps of these people are much more vigorous than ordinary people. Although they don't seem to have great internal strength, they show that they have practiced some basic external martial arts. It seems that only martial arts can be used here.
It came in handy.
But having said that, Bai Ran had always had some doubts about Guiwu this time.
In the classics he has read, although the ghost mist is very scary, it is not like it is today, with no chance of escape. It was actually affected and imprisoned before coming into contact with this ghost. It is really too powerful.
.
If the ghost mist that appeared every time was so terrifying, perhaps even the Nascent Soul Stage monks would not be spared. But there are clearly many examples of people seeing the ghost mist and successfully avoiding it. Among them are low-level monks.
But what the lean man mentioned just now, the eruption of the so-called "unparalleled spiritual energy", made Bai Ran clear up some of his confusion.
Just by hearing this name, you can tell that their imprisonment of mana and consciousness must have a lot to do with it.
It seemed that they were unlucky enough to encounter a particularly powerful ghost mist, so they were all teleported in. The monks who were still alive were probably in other corners of the place.
When Bai Ran was thinking about it, the lean man in front of him suddenly paused and suddenly turned his head to look to one side. The other men and women also stopped and looked.
In the desert on one side, a yellow dragon appeared in the distance, and smoke billowed straight towards it.
"It's Ah Hu and the others!" A very young man with a childish face shouted in surprise. The others also became commotion for a while.
The lean man nodded, with a hint of relief on his face, but his smile immediately froze.
Because at this time, several sharp roars came from the yellow dragon.
"Everyone, hurry up and help. They are being chased by the Yin Beast." The man's face changed drastically and he roared. He pulled out the long white knife stuck in his waist and rushed forward like a human being.
The other men and women also suddenly understood, drew their swords one after another, and also rushed to meet him.
Bai Ran didn't move where he was, just looking at Huang Long in the distance with a strange look on his face.
The men and women rushed into the yellow dragon in the blink of an eye. The beast roared loudly inside, and the yellow dragon suddenly stopped and turned into a cloud of yellow mist, which scattered in all directions.
In the thick smoke and dust, the shouts, screams and unknown roars of men and women were intertwined.
After a full cup of tea, the voice gradually changed from high to low, and finally everything returned to calm.
After a while, there was a burst of cheers from inside, and then these men and women walked out of the yellow mist. Everyone was covered in bright red animal blood. It was not clear whether anyone was injured, but everyone was smiling as if there was something unexpected.
Like it.
These people returned to the original route after a while, and among them were a few tall men that Bai Ran had seen in the middle of the mountain. They were also carrying those huge leather bags on their backs.
When these people saw Bai Ran and Mei Ning, they were a little surprised.
But after the lean man whispered something next to them, their faces suddenly became clear and they were no longer surprised.
With the addition of these people, the team is moving forward faster.
After walking for a full hour, they finally walked out of the desert, and a dark pile of rocks appeared in front of them.
Just like the desert, Bai Ran couldn't see how wide these stone piles were, but he couldn't see the end for a while. But the stones in the stone piles had weird shapes and black colors, giving Bai Ran a gloomy feeling, which was extremely uncomfortable.
.
But when this group of people saw this place, they all breathed a sigh of relief and looked relieved.
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky began to roll uneasily, and the blue lightning became suddenly more frequent, and from time to time one or two struck directly on the ground nearby, revealing stone pits of different sizes.
Bai Ran and Mei Ning were shocked when they saw this scene, but the others seemed to be used to it and quickly entered the area without caring.
And the lean man even said hello:
"Everyone, if you act quickly, the village will be closed soon, so don't be trapped outside.
As soon as these words were shouted, a group of people immediately started running and rushed forward desperately.
Bai Ran and Mei Ning looked at each other. Although they didn't know what was going to happen, they didn't dare to neglect and stayed together.
So under the leadership of these people, Bai Ran turned east and west among the rubble, and his eyes suddenly opened up. A tall stone wall, dark and dark, appeared in front of him.
These stone walls are all built piece by piece with huge stones about ten feet tall, and are twenty to thirty feet high.
The distance between the left and right ends of the stone wall is more than a thousand feet wide. And every few feet, a sharpened piece of hardwood protrudes from the wall, looking ferocious and ferocious. In the direction facing Bai Ran and others
,, there is a huge hanging wooden door, standing tall. On both sides of the wooden door, there are more than a dozen men holding white spears, standing there vigilantly.
When these guards saw the lean man and his group coming back, they immediately greeted them loudly with excitement on their faces.
Then a huge "rumbling" sound came, the giant door was lowered, and they were welcomed in.
