Beiyin Great Sage

Hu Peng is tall and burly, but his movements are surprisingly light and agile. His heavy body can step on grass stalks without breaking.

Flying through the mountains and forests, it was even more silent.

Among the others, only Heidi, a disciple of the legendary mage Colin, could do this with the help of source magic.

"clatter……"

Hu Peng suddenly stopped his movement.

"Brother Hu, what's wrong?" Shi Xi looked up.

"Something is wrong." Hu Peng's face turned pale:

"Our direction is off!"

He could swear that he was definitely not going the wrong way, but for some reason, he unknowingly veered off course.

"How far off?"

Heidi took a step forward. She was already tall enough, and today she wore a pair of high-heeled glass shoes, which gave people an invisible sense of oppression.

"Not too much." Hu Peng calmed down and stretched out his hand tentatively:

"It was supposed to be that direction, but the direction we went was a little south."

"Brother Hu." Shi Xi looked at him with a strange expression:

"The direction you are pointing is south."

"ah!"

Hu Peng's face turned pale.

He was clearly referring to the west. Even if it was a little south, it was still very different.

"Don't worry, Master Hu." Seeing this, Heidi said slowly:

"This type of existence is good at manipulating people's hearts. It is normal for people to perceive misalignment. Let Yuye lead the way."

"You're guiding me from behind."

"Miss Yuye?" Hu Peng looked slightly surprised.

Among them, Ren Yuye's cultivation is the worst, and she is too young and has an out-of-touch personality, which is really unconvincing.

"Don't worry." Heidi said:

"With so many of us, Yuye is the most sober."

"Hehe..." Ren Yuye chuckled:

"Master Hu, don't you trust me?"

"I don't dare." Hu Peng composed himself, subconsciously touched a jade plaque on his chest, and said:

"Miss Yuye, please go ahead."

For this trip, he had prepared many treasures to focus his mind, confident that he would be able to maintain a certain level of sobriety even if he faced the 'monster' head-on.

Now it seems that the idea is a bit too ideal.

The means by which the 'thing' was left on Boss Hu could still distort his perception even though it was still far away.

I don’t know.

What method does this Ren Yuye have that makes others so convinced?

The next road was just as Heidi said. Ren Yuye was not affected by any external factors and went straight in the established direction.

Every once in a while, Heidi stopped to cast spells to keep Hu Peng awake, unaffected by external thoughts, and continue to point the direction.

"There's no rush."

After looking at the sky, Shi Xi suggested:

"Have a rest overnight and leave after dawn tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if I go inside."

"That's fine."

Others follow suit.

…………

Two days later.

A group of people appeared on a high slope somewhere.

Hu Peng's eyes were closed tightly, sweat was pouring from his forehead, and his body was shaking back and forth.

The closer he got to the direction of his mouth, the greater the impact that thing had on him.

Several others also looked haggard and had bloodshot eyes, but some kind of obsession kept them going until now.

Not sleeping for two days is nothing to a black iron master.

But the group of people was obviously being watched by some kind of existence, and various hallucinations appeared one after another along the way, making them tense at all times.

It's always been like this, even Kurogane can't stand it.

"It's a dream-inducing plant." Heidi bent down and pulled out a blue plant, keeping it aside and said:

"The smell secreted by this stuff can make people feel relaxed and sleepy, so be careful. It shouldn't be far away."

Hu Peng drew a topographic map near the valley. As long as he came nearby, others could find their destination without his guidance.

As for the dream-inducing grass.

It's almost everywhere around here.

Generally speaking, so many dream-inducing grasses would only grow near 'monsters' who are good at controlling other people's dreams.

This also shows from the side that they are getting closer and closer to their target.

Not long after continuing to move forward, a fog enveloped them, and the group entered it and instantly lost their sense of direction.

"Tama Ye!"

"Um."

Ren Yuye rubbed his brows with helplessness on his face, but he still chose a comfortable position, lying on the ground and closing his eyes.

The fatigue from many days, coupled with the influence of dream-inducing grass, made her fall asleep in an instant.

Heidi stood beside her with a staff in hand, and a faint halo enveloped the two of them. The halo was like water, with tiny ripples appearing from time to time.

Invisible fluctuations swept across, and her beautiful eyes lit up.

"don't want!"

"No!"

"..."

The sleeping Ren Yuye seemed to have had some kind of nightmare, her delicate body was shaking from time to time, her mouth was screaming incessantly, her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed and her face was filled with fear.

"Brother Shi."

Hu Peng looked worried:

"Is this really okay?"

Along the way, every time he encountered trouble that couldn't be solved, he would let Ren Yuye fall asleep to attract the thing, and then cast a spell to solve it.

So far, everything seems to be going well, and the monster seems to be injured.

but……

Can Ren Yuye bear it?

He knew how terrifying that thing was. Not to mention that it was only in the early stages of Black Iron. Even a peak Black Iron master might not be able to use it easily.

"Don't worry." Shi Xi chuckled:

"Miss Yuye will be fine, her god is not just here."

"Um?"

Hu Peng looked confused, but the other party obviously had no intention of further explanation.

After a while.

Ren Yuye's delicate body froze, and a strange wave came out of her body, sweeping across the surroundings. The weeds under her body broke like sharp blades.

Phew!

Silent screams echoed in everyone's minds, shaking several people to the point of falling. Shi Xi and Hu Peng even had blood flowing out of their noses.

"wake up!"

Heidi drank in a low voice, and her voice was like a chill flowing into the mind, making people wake up instantly.

"Walk!"

"This way."

"It's angry, which means we are getting closer to it."

Heidi stretched out her staff and pointed forward, while helping Ren Yuye wake up.

"What happened just now?"

"Why does my head hurt?"

When she woke up, she seemed to have no memory of what she had experienced in her dream. Her eyes were blank, but her spirit was as good as ever.

Hu Peng raised his eyebrows.

really.

Ren Yuye seems to be immune to the monster's mental influence, and can even injure the monster back.

How did she do it?

‘God’ is not just here. If God is not in yourself, where else can it be?

…………

In a fog.

As the distance gets closer and closer, the invisible pressure that permeates the air keeps increasing, making people almost breathless.

"No more!"

Hu Peng's face was pale, his legs were trembling, and his eyes were dull:

"I can't hold on anymore!"

"I need to rest and sleep. Even if I die, let me die in my dream. I really can't hold on anymore."

It's not just him.

Shi Xi and Zhan Chengfeng also had dull eyes.

Ren Yuye felt weak.

Only Heidi, who didn't know what kind of magic she had used, became mentally haggard to a certain extent, and then it became stable and generally no longer declined.

With this appearance, even if he persists to his destination, he may not have much fighting power left.

Fortunately, they had anticipated this situation.

"Take turns sleeping."

After thinking about it, Heidi sat down cross-legged:

"Everyone sleeps for an hour, and after an hour, the next person takes the elixir to ensure that their energy is not lost."

"Me first!"

Hu Peng didn't allow others to choose, took the elixir, swallowed it, and fell to the ground.

The moment his head hit the ground, there was a loud snoring sound.

Heidi shook her head, found a stone, squatted down, closed her eyes and practiced.

In her secret perception, a huge and vast spiritual thought surged around her like a wave, with greed and anger emerging from it.

The monster is angry!

and……

There was fear.

The corners of Heidi's mouth curled up slightly.

Such a huge spiritual thought, in terms of its power, doesn't even need a teacher. If it can be conquered, wouldn't it be...

As her thoughts turned, her breathing quickened.

When her eyes fell on Hu Peng, Heidi felt certain in her heart.

Hu Peng, who had taken the elixir, felt as if his energy and spirit were tightly bound by countless chains. Even if that thing wanted to influence him, there was no way to take advantage of it.

If force is used, it will take a certain amount of time. With so many people present, as long as one person is awake, the person can be awakened in time.

Just like now.

The ubiquitous spiritual thoughts surrounded Hu Peng, trying to penetrate inwards, but they were repeatedly blocked.

"Um……"

An hour later.

Hu Peng stretched his muscles and stood up, with a satisfied look on his face, and his bloodshot eyes had recovered to a certain extent:

"Comfortable!"

"It's your turn."

"Miss Heidi." Shi Xi looked over and said:

"Otherwise, why don't you rest first?"

"Well..." Heidi's beautiful eyes flashed, and she felt the secret method that she was about to reach the limit. She couldn't help but nodded and said:

"That's fine."

"You guys are watching, and if you find anything wrong, wake me up as soon as possible."

"certainly."

The others nodded in agreement.

After taking the medicine, Heidi felt relaxed and fell asleep leaning on the rocks.

An hour later.

"I'm ready."

Heidi rubbed her eyes and her voice was slightly hoarse:

"Brother Shi, it's your turn."

"good!"

Shi Xi nodded and fell asleep.

In this way, several people rotated with each other. After Shi Xi woke up, Zhan Chengfeng rested with his sword, while Ren Yuye, who had dull eyes, was ranked last.

She glanced at the people. Her hazy consciousness seemed to sense that something was wrong, but her weak spirit and strong spirit did not notice anything unusual.

She shook her head and grinned.

So quiet!

But I don’t know.

When she was doubtful, the faces of those who woke up were dull, their expressions were dull, and they didn't say a word, like puppets on strings.

If you look carefully, you will find that their eyes are as silent as abyss.

It turned out to be...

Never woke up!

Only Heidi seemed to be struggling a little in her eyes.

At this moment.

Ren Yuye was the only one who was truly 'awake' in the field, and when Zhan Chengfeng woke up, it was her turn to rest.

"Xu..."

The ruts were stuck in the mud, and there was more than half a foot of muddy road. Even if the person pulling the cart was a strong beast, it would still be a bit difficult.

"Moo!"

The screams continued.

The convoy moved forward slowly.

"Soon."

Hu Li stood at a high place and narrowed her beautiful eyes:

"After walking through this muddy road, there won't be much difficulty ahead, and we can increase our speed. Everyone, please work harder."

"Hey..."

"Hey..."

"rise!"

The motorcade kept shouting.

Even the guards patrolling around joined the team pushing the carriages, lifting the carriages that were stuck in the mud one by one.

"Seven more people died."

A person came to Hu Li's side and whispered:

"Miss, more and more people are dying. If this continues, people's hearts will be in chaos."

Don't talk about other people.

Even he had fear in his eyes.

The murderous monster doesn't distinguish between friend and foe. As long as it looks right, he will kill him even if he is the Hu family's guard.

"Well……"

Hu Li looked back and looked deep into the mountains, thoughtfully:

"It seems that the man has encountered some kind of trouble and needs to swallow enough essence to support him. The adoptive father has found a good helper this time."

She seemed to know something, and she was not surprised by the dead people in the team, and even made some guesses.

After thinking for a while, she asked:

"Lu, how's it going?"

The man behind him turned pale:

"Ghost hits the wall!"

"We're starting to get sidetracked."

"That's it." Hu Li frowned:

"I'm afraid that person won't let us leave if he can't solve the problem, but ordinary people don't provide much energy."

"never mind!"

She waved her hand gently:

"Tell the others to rest early today and start their journey again early tomorrow morning."

"yes!"

The men should be.

…………

"A few."

The guards of the Hu family walked up to Zhou Jia and others, and waved to have them bring some food and drinks:

"It's been a hard journey, and no one could have imagined that something unexpected happened on this trip. To express my apology, my lady asked me to send you something."

"Easy to say."

Zhou Jia nodded:

"Thank you miss for us."

"Yes." The guard should be:

"The little one will definitely report back."

After the guards retreated, the four of them looked at the things that had been delivered, but no one had any intention of reaching out.

When they go out, they all carry food on their backs, not to mention the food sent by the Hu family. Even the food they eat is their own.

"I don't know when it will end." He Qing picked the fire in front of him and sighed softly:

"If I had known this, I would have taken a detour."

"It's too late to say this." Fang Fengchen shrugged:

"Fortunately, with Brother Zhou here, we can be safer."

The Zizhu couple nodded.

Of all the people present, only Zhou Jia could sense something was wrong in advance. They followed each other and felt safer than others.

Zhou Jia held a medicine cake in his hand and slowly swallowed and refined it.

The eyes are deep.

Time passes slowly.

Unconsciously, he had closed his eyes.

…………

"Zhou Jia!"

"Zhou Jia!"

From the white mist, a haunting voice came.

The voice was erratic, distant and near, making Zhou Jia's body tremble, and he slowly turned back, looking at the running figure with complicated eyes.

"Zhou Jia."

The figure came closer and waved his hand in front of his eyes:

"how?"

"Don't you recognize me?"

"How could..." Zhou Jia's voice was low and his expression was softer than ever before:

"How could I forget you."

"I knew it." Qianying smiled, jumping up and down, her long hair flying, and the familiar fragrance filled her nostrils, making her more and more exciting.

Zhou Jia looked at each other and spoke slowly:

"How are you doing after all these years?"

Qianying paused, lowered her head, and sighed:

"What's the point of living without you by my side?"

"People always have to look forward." Zhou Jia stroked Qianying's long hair, with a look of sadness in his eyes:

"I actually..."

"I forgot what you look like."

"This is true even in dreams."
