Barrier of Light

Black snow-capped mountains stand majestically.

At the foot of the mountain, the wind howled, and the black snowflakes flying on the deserted paths of the snow-capped mountains were flying like fallen leaves.

The group stopped.

"Lord Zhenyue."

Ba Kui looked at the black snow dancing all over the world, stretched out his palms, brushed off the fallen snow on his shoulders, and said fearfully: "We have finally arrived... It is really an evil place."

"finally reached……"

Meng Xiao also sighed softly. He was not lamenting the length of the road, but the majesty of the snow-capped mountains in front of him.

Evil?

He didn't think so.

The blessing of the City of Light allowed him to see a ray of light in the darkness. There is no real eternal darkness in this world, just like there is no pure light... The darker it is, the more light is mixed with it as an impurity.

This snow-capped mountain cuts off the Dolu River... After countless amounts of frost and snow, it is already a gathering place for "disasters".

But the more Meng Xiao watched it, the more he liked it.

There is only one reason.

He was never afraid of the so-called "disaster places" on the surface, because his bracelet would bring guidance to his destiny... He could see his own "disaster", and this mountain was not it.

Therefore, no matter how big the disaster or ominous situation is on this mountain, it has nothing to do with him!

From the first step he set foot on the mountain gate, he knew that he would eventually cross the mountain safely.

I want to reverse the images I saw in the bracelet divination...

This mountain is very important.

What he has to do is not just cross this mountain.

We also need to kill the "person" who appears in the final scene on the mountain.

During this period, whenever Meng Xiao recalled the last scene of the bracelet's reflection, he felt faintly palpitated, because the scale of the "explosion" at the end of the Black River was so huge that he even suspected that the entire Dolu River disaster area would be exploded. affected.

If the future you see is true.

Even the captains of the "Restart Team" and the tributaries distributed downstream... may be covered by the explosion.

He had experienced so many fortune-tellings.

Only this time, the ominous feeling was extremely strong!

Meng Xiao had to think deeply about the meaning of the "guidance" given in the last scene. If the explosion that destroyed the world had happened right in front of him, at such a close distance, even if he had many means, he might not be able to do it. It will "evaporate instantly".

But why did he see Gu Shen?

Could it be that... the final big explosion was caused by Gu Shen?

In order to erase the deepest fear in his heart, he had to take action.

Meng Xiao took a deep breath and looked at the black snow-capped mountains.

one way or another!

What he sees is just some "possibility" in the future. Even if it is happening right now, as long as he kills that guy, he can... change his fate of disaster!

…

…

"Brother Gu, how do you feel?"

After stepping into the black snow mountain, it was not as difficult as imagined.

There is no such thing as "supernatural beings".

There is no "dream coming" either.

The group of people continued climbing just like normal mountain climbing. However, there was no road in this snow-capped mountain. There was heavy snowfall, and there was no link to the [deep sea], so it was easy to get lost.

But for Gu Shen, no matter how much the black snow in this snow-capped mountain blows, it can't mess up his mental perception.

"Brother Zhongyuan, don't worry, I'm in good condition."

Gu Shen spoke and turned back...

Both the front and back were covered with black snow. The heavy snow was coming in a fierce force and pouring down. Even with the "blazing fire" lighting, everyone could not see each other clearly... they could only see a line of light beside them in the black snow tide. A gray shadow.

"We've been traveling for two hours, do you need a break?" Zhong Yuan asked with concern.

The "spiritual link" in the team can be maintained to this day, and it is still so stable, all thanks to Gu Shen's "Blazing Fire". This S-level ability is really powerful, but walking in this snow-capped mountain requires a lot of mental energy. .

When these falling snow falls on your body, it will invisibly drain your spirit.

Zhong Yuan knew that the reason why his group did not encounter a dream was most likely because of the existence of Gu Shen's "Fire Link"...

"I do not need."

Gu Shen shook his head. His spiritual power was so strong, with the breath of spring and the support of the four seasons wilderness. Not to mention that he had only walked for two hours now, even if he walked for another three days and three nights, there would not be the slightest sign of drying up. .

only……

The mental condition of the seven team members, except Yuan Yuan, is not that good.

Gu Shen could feel that the "blazing fire" held in the palms of these people was no longer as bright as before... No matter how stable his spiritual link was, he still needed the energy from other members to maintain it.

If one person falls behind, it may cause a mysterious "disaster".

"Let's rest where we are."

Zhong Yuan also noticed that the team members were in poor spirits. He ordered them to rest on the spot, and then opened up the field... Several team members directly moved several large rocks from the barren mountains and formed a pile.

A "chi" sound!

Zhong Yuan raised his hand and [Phoenix Ring] breathed out flames!

There was no fuel piled between these large rocks, but they suddenly burst into flames, and the flames were roaring and very strong.

Gu Shen smiled dumbly.

Unexpectedly, this sealed artifact is used in this way?

Everyone was squatting next to the bonfire, and the black snow was flying, turning the smoke from the fire into black. Logically speaking, these snow flakes had a hidden meaning of "annihilation" and were incombustible.

But the phoenix fire in the [Phoenix Ring] can burn everything.

Two "contradictory" order objects collided together.

This time, Zhong Yuan’s [Phoenix Ring] is more advanced.

"team leader……"

"Maybe it's because of 'river poison', or maybe it's because the snowflakes on this snow mountain contain 'disaster'..." Yuan Yuan's voice was a little hoarse and he said with a wry smile: "After walking for so long, I am really tired. Fortunately, And your Phoenix Fire, otherwise I don’t know how I would have endured the rest of the way."

Gu Shen squatted by the bonfire. He felt the "warmth" he had not seen for a long time. He stared at the bright "phoenix fire" burning and dancing in the stone, his eyes were a little dazed...if it weren't for Yuan Yuan's voice, which indirectly reminded him.

Then he is almost "integrated" with this black snow mountain.

It was really strange that the black snow in the sky did not make Gu Shen feel any real pain or discomfort.

This Duolu River makes many people feel "desolate" and "depressed".

But in Gu Shen's opinion.

This black river is just [calm].

He doesn't seem to hate it here...

Is this the reason for "underworld fire"?

Although he has not yet merged with Pluto's fire, they have already chosen each other after the battle in the cemetery...So the fire in the cemetery has begun to "instill" Pluto's characteristics in him?

Other than that, there seems to be no more reason.

Gu Shen stretched out his palm and caught a ball of broken black snow. He watched the black snow flakes melt under the temperature of the bonfire and finally turned into black water droplets... a thin puddle, just lying on his body. In the palm of my hand, even if there was a slight gap in the fingertips, it did not fall down.

Gu Shen was startled.

He saw his delicate face reflected in the black water.

Familiar and strange.

The wind blew gently, and the young face reflected in the black water seemed to be distorted, revealing a small smile... But this smile made Gu Shen's heart sink.

After the black snow melts... will it become the same thing as the "water of the Dolu River"?

According to legion intelligence, this is a highly poisonous substance. Those who are contaminated with it, if they are not strong enough, are likely to be infected with river poison, bad luck, and many disasters!

But it was no big deal if he came into contact with it.

Along the way, because of his companionship with Zhong Yuan and the warnings from intelligence, Gu Shen did not really touch the water of the Dolu River that was full of death and death... But looking at it now, this seems to be an oversight. .

"Brother Zhongyuan?"

Gu Shen spoke, but his voice paused for a moment. When he raised his head, a cold black snow wind blew by, and there was a cold silence between heaven and earth.

What Zhongyuan?

There was not a single figure...the eight figures sitting around the campfire were empty and gone.

Only the flame surrounded by piles of stones is still burning tirelessly. This seems to be the only evidence that Zhongyuan once existed. The "Phoenix Fire" burns the black snow, and the black smoke rises straight up, and then is blown away by the strong wind. .

Gu Shen's expression instantly turned gloomy.

Have you entered a dream?

When did this happen?

Is it the moment when you look down at the "river"?

Or... earlier?

Countless possibilities spread in his mind. Gu Shen clasped his palms. Covered by blazing fire, a scorching heat comparable to that of "Phoenix Fire" burst out. In an instant, these black water droplets were crushed and burned to dryness.

What is different from the "Phoenix Fire" burning is——

The burning out of the blazing fire was "destruction" in the true sense. There was no smoke, no hot mist, not even the slightest sound. The pool of melted black mountain snow in Gu Shen's palm was burned into nothingness!

He touches "the protection of Fortune."

The mental fluctuations within the pendant were stable.

It seems that after "falling into a dream", he will not face immediate danger... Gu Shen narrowed his eyes. He stood there and sensed the spiritual link established by the blazing fire.

Logically speaking, my spiritual link is not broken.

I can sense everyone's spiritual aura, and I can find the location immediately.

But at this moment, not only those team members with weaker mental strength, but also Zhong Yuan and Yuan Yuan disappeared into the link.

What kind of terrifying attack power is this?

When was my "spiritual link" broken?

Gu Shen's face was expressionless.

He walked alone towards the mountain... While the heavy snow was flying, he summoned a ray of "blazing fire", which floated and condensed in front of him, turning into a lantern. It didn't spread too much, just covering his whole body. The range of about three meters only ensures the brightness and visibility of this area.

Iron shield.

Finger.

Gu Shen prepared all the sealed objects on his body.

He silently sensed the mental fluctuations of the pendant and walked forward slowly and calmly, waiting for the "attack" in the darkness in the distance at any time... He even took out the black silver box that sealed the "Ruler of Truth" and held it in his hand. Prepare for the unexpected.

only.

The road to the snowy mountains was extremely smooth.

Smooth...a little weird.

Gu Shen did not encounter danger until he reached the top of the snow mountain... He was a little confused. The "mirror dream" he saw in Zhong Yuan's spiritual sea was not false.

The "illusion" of not being able to distinguish between reality and illusion bothered me for a short time even after leaving the dream.

But now.

Blazing Fire did not give any warning sign of danger...

The pendant did not issue a danger warning...

I have successfully climbed to the top of the mountain. Then, I only need to go down the mountain to reach the second half of the Heihe River that is cut off by the snow-capped mountains?

Gu Shen stood on the snow-capped mountains and was silent for a long time.

He raised his head, trying to see what he had seen in his dream... the huge dark sky turned into a mirror, and then swallowed him.

But it's a pity.

Nothing happened.

The whistling black snow and Gu Shen spent these not long, but very lonely few minutes together.

"I had no choice...but to get down."

Gu Shen let out a sigh of relief. The more clearly he couldn't see the situation, the more he dared not relax.

His first step out of the snow-capped mountains——

"Buzz!"

The pendant's mental fluctuations changed.

Gu Shen's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked calm. He picked up the lantern and continued to move forward. The surroundings were still silent, and the black snow was scattered. It seemed peaceful and quiet, but he knew..."disaster" was approaching.

It's finally here.

If the pendant remained calm, Gu Shen would suspect that he had fallen into some undetectable and terrifying dream!

"clatter……"

"Da da da……"

On the Black Mountain, the sound of boots stepping on hard stones penetrated the wind and snow, making a dull sound.

Gu Shen stood silently.

He looked at the familiar figure climbing up the wild mountain path.

one two three four five six seven eight……

Zhong Yuan, Yuan Yuan, and six other team members.

"clatter!"

The sound of footsteps stopped suddenly, and all the members of Zhong Yuan's team raised their heads, looking at the "blurred figure" not far away from them on the top of the snow-capped mountains with expressions of shock and confusion.

The lantern raised by Gu Shen illuminated the black snow and thick fog between the two sides.

The two sides just looked at each other.

After a short silence——

"kill him!"

A steady and resolute voice sounded calmly beneath the snow-capped mountains.

The blond man looked back, and the rest of the team members also looked at the owner who made the sound.

"Nine……"

Gu Shen counted to the last number with an expressionless face. At this moment, he stood on the top of the mountain, looking down at the small team traveling with him.

Including myself, there are nine people in total.

There were nine people standing in front of him at this moment.

On the other side of Heixue, there was a "Gu Shen" who had exactly the same face as him, and even his aura was almost the same.

It's really...unexpected.

The cross pendant that symbolized the guidance of destiny... trembled violently!

As expected of a professionally trained member of the Restart Team, his actions were extremely decisive. Someone responded immediately to the encounter!

A "whoosh" sound!

On the other side of the wind and snow, a gunshot shot through the sky.
