Barrier of Light

A strong wind swept through.

The river breaks.

Countless evil spirits and evil spirits spread with the strong wind...

It seems to extend to the extreme of nothingness, the extreme of darkness.

Mu Wanqiu opened his eyes.

One second, she was still deep in the mountains with heavy snow on the branches. The next second, she was here, in a stone tunnel that could collapse and break at any time.

All this was just because she took a step forward.

Mu Wanqiu came back to her senses and quickly looked at the scene around her. This place seemed to have blocked her spiritual power. It was very difficult for her to summon the [Judge] and she could only see things with her naked eyes.

It takes some time for the naked eye to adapt to the darkness.

A few seconds later, Mu Wanqiu finally saw the scene in front of him clearly. It turned out to be a stone wall covered with obscure ancient inscriptions. The [Gate] that arrived here from the Snow Ridge had disappeared.

She looked around and saw stone walls on her left and right.

She seemed to have reached the end of a dead end. Fortunately, there was a long and narrow retreat behind her, which did not block her only route... This unknown place did not seem to be under the intelligence control of the Beizhou military.

This does not belong to any of the branches of the Doru River.

Maybe... it's the "second half" after Black Snow Mountain?

Mu Wanqiu narrowed her phoenix eyes. She still didn't know where she had arrived, but what was certain was that... [The Judge] was no longer restless, and the irresistible sense of attraction slowly dissipated.

You've come to the right place.

But it seems that I didn’t come to the right place...

Mu Wanqiu originally thought that after stepping into the [door], he would immediately face the scene in his nightmare.

The black river surged and huge waves surged into the sky.

Under the turbulent waves, he needed to ride on the [Judge]'s big banner to cross with difficulty.

When she reached the end, she could see the stone tablet of "River Styx" and the towering black throne.

"This is... the place where the creatures in the disaster once lived?"

Mu Wanqiu stared at the stone wall, vaguely understanding.

The Beizhou military's exploration of the Duolu River has just begun. It is still in the preliminary stage. There is too much unknown information, such as the "skeletons" previously discovered in the mountains... Osmond speculates that there are supernatural beings in the disaster. There are living things inhabiting it, but so far there is no breath of living things.

But this broken corridor can almost be used as ironclad evidence.

Because these three stone walls are all carved with "ancient characters" of unknown meaning...

Only extraordinary beings can accomplish such an act.

Mu Wanqiu couldn't understand the meaning of these words.

She tried to remember it, but unfortunately, things like ancient writing can only be understood but not expressed. If you don't understand it, you will never be able to remember it.

Open your eyes.

She remembered the shapes of several words on the stone wall.

Close your eyes.

The words whose shapes she had originally memorized slowly faded away and disappeared, as if there was a strange magic power taking effect in the spiritual sea, making it impossible for her to remember.

Tried many times.

Repeatedly failed.

Mu Wanqiu didn't want to give up, so she could only stand there and look at it for a while reluctantly. She couldn't understand a word of the "ghost symbols" on the three stone walls, but she couldn't remember this important information, so it was impossible to bring it with her. Return to the main boat.

a long time.

Mu Wanqiu had no choice but to sigh.

She finally understood why General White Lizard left Beizhou with so little useful information after leaving the disaster area.

Everything related to "ancient writing" seems to have a special attribute.

Unable to remember.

It cannot be taught.

She could only give up the idea of ​​taking away the things here. Then he started thinking about his situation.

In fact, she didn't have a choice.

With three stone walls blocking her way, she had only one way to choose.

Mu Wanqiu turned around, looking at the long, deep and dark road with a gloomy expression.

"Do I need to... get out of here?"

Sometimes, fate seems to have many paths left for a person.

But in fact, there is only one.

Mu Wanqiu knew that before she came here, she had no choice... With her character, she would definitely participate in the restart mission, she would definitely choose to obey the call of her heart, so she would definitely step into that [door] and come here here.

That being the case.

There is nothing to hesitate about.

Mu Wanqiu held her breath gently and walked towards the deep long road. She walked very slowly. On the one hand, she wanted to ensure that she could deal with sudden attacks in the dark at any time. On the other hand, she still tried to remember these obscure and unknown words. , even if you only remember a little bit, it is a good thing.

ten minutes later.

She reached the end of the stone wall.

The good news is that the journey was safe. Although this corridor is narrow, it is safe. There are no so-called "unknown creatures" at all, and there are no regular points such as source matter black holes.

The bad news is that I haven't memorized a single bit of ancient Chinese.

Other than that.

There was still only one road in front of her...a long, narrow, quiet, right-turning road engraved with ancient texts.

Still no choice.

Mu Wanqiu continued to move forward. This time, she gave up memorizing ancient prose and quickened her pace.

At the end, turn right again.

At the end, turn right again...

She seemed to be walking through an endless maze, but the difference was that Mu Wanqiu had silently calculated the distance from the beginning. The quiet darkness did not make her panic. The maze was getting longer and longer, and she might have been in the "maze" just now. "center, this is a good thing. You should be very close to the "exit" to the outside world.

finally.

After turning countless corners, Mu Wanqiu reached the real "end point".

There was no turning point in front of her.

It is exactly the same as where it "arrived" before.

Three walls blocked all exits, and the only difference... was that his retreat was exactly the same as his origin.

I have taken so many detours, and my current position is probably only a short distance away from the initial point when I "arrive".

At this moment, Mu Wanqiu's pretty face, which was already slightly gloomy, was filled with evil aura.

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't understand these ancient texts and was afraid that touching the wall would lead to unknown taboos... then she would have taken action halfway and directly smashed the thick walls.

Between two points, a straight line is the shortest.

She hated twists and turns the most in her life.

A "clang" sound!

The sword on her waist was unsheathed, and Mu Wanqiu took a step back. She held the handle of the sword in one hand, and a huge pale and dark ghost appeared behind her. He stretched out his big hand and twisted the long sword with her.

One knife!

Just cut it off!

The stone wall covered with ancient inscriptions shattered instantly, bursting out with streaks of black light.

"Rumble, rumble—"

Mu Wanqiu's pupils shrank, and the Source Armor mask on her head automatically knocked down, because after the stone wall was broken, majestic black water poured in... and then tons of black water poured into this ancient but ancient land. In the dry corridor, she smashed the wall, connected the secret passage to the outside world, and witnessed the scene in her nightmare as she wished.

"The waters of Styx" come up from heaven.

…

…

The roaring sound vibrated in my ears.

Gu Shen opened the bow and loosened the string.

An arrow shot from the bottom of the Styx was shot instantly.

Pure land.

As the iron dome in the sky exploded and trembled, Meng Xiao had no time to react. The arrow that penetrated the sky spirit had already reached his chest. He tried to reach out to grab it, but the iron arrow flashed away and turned into a shadow. , penetrate through.

This is the shadow of an arrow that cannot be held at all. It is an illusion, a falsehood, and a thunder that breaks through real and false dreams... It is a pity that the Pure Land is an illusory dreamland. Even if Meng Xiao really reaches out and holds the arrow, he cannot Change nothing.

In the real world, his body has been penetrated by this arrow.

The duration of hypnosis has reached its limit.

The flowing clouds, blades of grass, and the throne of the Pure Land were all transformed into scattered and broken light and shadow reflected in the iron dome lake water under the arrow.

After returning to the real world, Meng Xiao lowered his head in confusion and looked at the bloody hole that had penetrated his chest.

The iron arrow pierced the chest.

The wound was extremely smooth.

Perhaps because the temperature of the "blazing fire" is too high, no blood has flowed out of this small wound until now. If it weren't for the hot mist generated by Chi Chi, one could even clearly see the scene on the other side from this side of the cave entrance. .

Meng Xiao stopped talking.

Then the world became extremely quiet.

The other side.

Gu Shen's spirit also returned to the bottom of the Styx, ending the forced hypnosis of adversity. Blood began to leak out from his mouth and nose, and dense drops of blood oozed from his fingertips.

Draw the bow twice.

His body has reached its limit.

Both mentally and physically, they have reached their limits.

With the seventh level of strength, he forcibly attacked and killed the tenth level transcendent... He had done everything he could, but unfortunately, although the arrow hit, it did not kill Meng Xiao.

Because what seeped out of that blood hole was not blood...

But wisps of light.

This almost goes against normal human cognition.

The arrow just shot through Meng Xiao's heart.

But in the supernatural world... there is something called "miracle".

Gu Shen looked at Meng Xiao quietly.

The scene in front of me of countless blazing lights seeping out from my chest...

He felt a familiar feeling.

This is not the first time I have seen a similar scene.

Countless blazing lights surged out from Meng Xiao's chest, and the blood that was supposed to be shattered became extremely bright and dazzling at this moment.

Meng Xiao's pale face forced a smile with difficulty.

This is a triumphant smile.

The arrow just now had pushed him into the gate of hell.

Just a little bit.

Really... just a little bit.

But sometimes, things are always like this, and he can see that this last point is Gu Shen's limit.

The Dongzhou man in front of him was no longer able to draw his bow.

it's all over.

At this moment, Gu Shen's mind echoed with the voice from a long time ago.

[“The [Immortal] who carries all the tribulations, the [Chosen One] who has endured all the pain...\
