Barrier of Light

Roaring waves of snow fell from the top of the mountain.

Twelve extraordinary beings stood at the end of the maze, shrouded in a huge shadow...

The only light between heaven and earth at this moment.

It is the "golden eye" of the big snake.

In comparison, human beings are small and humble creatures.

Huge despair surged like a tide. After captain Yuan Yuan was killed, the team launched a final crazy counterattack... Zhu Xiao, a man from Dongzhou, roared and pulled out his saber, and his whole body was ignited with fire. Stepping on the rocks, he was furious and wanted to jump up.

There was a "boom"!

But this time.

Orochi didn't even give him a chance to get up.

A shadow passed by so fast that it was impossible to see... The tip of the long snake's tail swept past, like swatting a buzzing mosquito to death, and the furious man whose whole body was on fire was directly swatted into blood foam. !

next moment--

In the biting frost and snow, there were heavy and dense shooting sounds!

The strong logic bullets unique to Beizhou shattered the sky. This is the most powerful individual weapon that can be developed in military technology. These bullets all hit the snake scales. However, what is disappointing is that the strong logic bullets cannot hit at all. The broken snake scales just splashed out with dazzling golden light!

An attack of this level cannot even be suppressed...

The two extraordinary beings holding guns at the back of the team were "stared" mercilessly by Snake Eyes the next moment!

"Buzz buzz~~~"

The golden light burst out from those snake eyes, drowning them in an instant!

Destroyed together with... the entire place where it stood!

"No……"

Li Chen, who is blind, can still sense the faint auras around him... The auras of life are rapidly withering away, which means that the members of the team and his comrades are dying quickly.

The sound of gunfire disappeared.

The mental power surging in the domain also disappeared.

Finally, a powerful locking force nailed his body.

Li Chen raised his head, and his empty eyes met the golden eyes of the big snake. His face was gray, and his whole body was filled with fear... At this moment, he had the sad idea of ​​​​escape, but his hands and feet were not strong enough. It has become extremely difficult to move even one step under the orders.

He was like a wooden stake, nailed in place.

"hiss……"

A cold tongue-thrusting sound.

The snowy wind carried a chill and descended in front of him. Although he couldn't see anything... he could imagine the nightmare at this moment.

The big snake lowered its head to the same height as itself, and was "looking at" itself indifferently.

It has thousands of ways to destroy itself and the others, but it just chose the most interesting one at this moment.

Play slowly.

Play to death.

Despair was suppressed to the extreme and turned into anger.

Li Chen silently clenched his fists. He felt that the strength in his body seemed to have recovered...even if it was just a weak trace, but at least this trace of strength gave him room to resist.

Above his head, the bleeding "silver eye" slowly rotated again.

He roared as loud as he could.

Then he punched the cold snake kiss!

This is a punch from a human being... and a punch from extreme despair.

Even more so, a weak, powerless punch.

"Crack."

There was a crisp sound, but nothing happened.

A punch from a mental super who was not good at attacking didn't even damage the scales... but the force of the shock caused the fist's skin to crack and ooze blood.

Li Chen's body continued to tremble, and the huge gap in strength magnified his despair hundreds of times at this moment. He wanted to open his bleeding eyes, force himself to "glare" at the other person at the critical moment of his life, and die with more dignity. However, none of these could be done... The only thing he could do was to suppress the fear in his body and try not to tremble as much as possible.

Looking at this scene... the big snake raised its lips and smiled.

next moment.

Its pupils lit up golden again.

Then there was a "boom"!

The explosive fist wind cut through the icy air, roaring in front of Li Chen, shaking dozens of frost and snow, a tall black figure appeared in front of Li Chen at this moment, deputy captain Su He burned him The extraordinary source of energy in his body unleashed an unprecedented punch. This punch struck the unsuspecting snake's head. The furious air waves vibrated, and the rocks around the canyon exploded into pieces.

And after the fist wind is gone...

Nothing has changed.

The big snake's head is only slightly tilted at a slight angle. This angle looks more like an adjustment made by it itself.

"Hiss..."

Su He stopped Li Chen behind him, and he looked calmly at the snake eyes in the smoke.

"boom!"

Golden light shot out, the snow mist shattered, and the blood burned away.

All fear, all anger, and all despair were annihilated by the golden light pouring out of the snake's pupils.

The whole valley fell into a long silence.

The strong wind blew away the snow.

Only one person remains.

Standing alone.

…

…

From the moment the battle began, Gu Shen stood still.

He did not draw his sword with Yuan Yuan, nor did he retreat to the rear of the deputy team to shoot... After putting on the ghost veil, the long-repressed mental power was released, and his spiritual sea fell into absolute calm.

Then, a wisp of fire burned between Gu Shen's eyebrows.

Only, this time it was pitch black fire.

He silently watched this tragic battle... blood was splashed on the snow, as eye-catching as ink.

In the miserable battlefield of snow-capped mountains and canyons, he was the only "spectator".

And everyone acquiesced in the rationality of this "spectator"'s existence.

No one pulled him.

No one touched him.

In fact, someone touched him while running, but they just blended and passed through like shadows.

The moment he stretched out his hand and tried to hold Li Chen down, he realized something was wrong with this "dream"...

After the battle.

Gu Shen looked at the tall snake.

He said softly: "I originally thought that the beginning and end of this dream were the end of the maze and the 'oasis' in the distance..."

In this case, it can explain what Hong Zhong said after leaving the maze.

The man did tell the truth.

He saw an oasis.

It's just...a false oasis.

Because it was so true, he believed it himself.

"Now that I think about it, this was a low-level mistake... The starting point of this dream was over there." Gu Shen turned around and looked in the direction he came from. The beginning of all this nightmare came from the moment when the return journey was broken.

"The bodies of Hong Zhong's team were buried in the front by heavy snow."

Gu Shen smiled slightly sarcastically: "Since Hong Zhong saw the oasis, they should also have seen it... That team thought that the return route was completely blocked, but in fact it was not... right?"

The big snake looked at Gu Shen calmly.

The snake eyes were no longer indifferent, but shone with a strange light.

It hissed the message.

Treating Gu Shen... is different from treating others.

It maintains "respect" and listens quietly without interrupting.

"It was a safe road. From the beginning to the end, there was no 'black hole distortion'. Everyone could return. As long as they made a 'turn' at the time, they could leave safely. It's just that humans have never made contact outside the fortress. Creatures like you don't know that the 'Essence Instrument' can be deceived...so they can only choose to move on and step into this dream."

Gu Shen murmured: "So, Hong Zhong, the returning hero, is actually a shameful runaway... He chose to run away at the last moment and robbed his companions of their energy cores."

"Is it because of the faith instilled by the Survey Corps... No matter what, we must return to the fortress alive."

Gu Shen shook his head.

Whatever the reason, the title Homecoming Hero sounds like a joke now.

He slowly lowered his hands.

Not just between the brows.

Black flames ignited all over Gu Shen's body. Under the blessing of the "Ghost Veil", the blazing fire stained with Pluto's aura was continuously released, burning into a majestic pitch black fire around him.

"So everything that happens here is also a dream."

Gu Shen looked at the big snake and said calmly: "The elite team's mental power is simply unable to decipher this dream... So no matter how they fight, the outcome is doomed... It should be the same for the previous team, right?"

The big snake's lips curled up again.

It smiled again.

Most of the layers of veil covering this maze mission have been lifted.

Gu Shen took a deep breath, "I'm really curious... If it's not a dream, but in the real world, do creatures like you really exist?"

He raised his head and looked at the huge snake head that kept falling.

Golden light surged in the snake's eyes.

The two kept looking at each other at an extremely close distance.

this moment.

The strong induction in the blazing fire... sounded again.

Gu Shen was already ready to fight.

But when he looked into the golden snake eyes, what he felt was not a strong killing intent...but an unprecedented fiery resonance.

The beating speed of the heart seemed to slow down.

A high-pitched and soft voice sounded in his spiritual sea.

"……certainly."

Gu Shen's pupils contracted. He never expected that this big snake could use mental resonance to make sounds!

Does it respond to itself? !

And the most terrifying thing is... this spiritual voice is not violent, but the ghost veil is shaking crazily!

The dark mist covering Gu Shen's cheeks could not withstand the overly strong mental power, so it dispersed and fell off on its own.

"I just want to see your face..."

The serpent's spiritual voice sounded again.

After the ghost veil falls.

Gu Shen stared blankly at those sincere golden eyes.

The huge snake head fell to the ground, and the tall snake lowered its body, showing an extremely respectful and surrendering posture of worship...

It lowered its head, and its original arrogant attitude was gone.

Only humility and sincerity remain.

"This place is frosty, all life is extinct, the order is broken, and the essence has collapsed... I respect your order, and I have not dared to leave for twenty-one years."

The big snake stared at the faint fire between Gu Shen's eyebrows.

The voice that echoed in the spiritual sea for a long time was very hoarse.

"My king...until today, I have finally waited for your arrival."
