The surrounding environment suddenly returned to normal.
The field of vision was filled with a strange bright red color, and the ground was covered with fragmented corpses. The broken limbs were soaked in thick and sticky plasma. The plasma gathered into crisscrossing streams and small puddles. , there is almost nowhere to stay.
The strong bloody air rushed straight into Tianling Gai, causing Gu Mo's stomach, which had just been feeling better, to surge violently again, causing him to faintly twitch.
This plasma concentration was somewhat difficult for him to accept, and it would take some time to adapt to it, but the illusion just now briefly interrupted this adaptation process and deceived his senses... Then, now that the illusion was broken, the real Sensory perception returns.
Just like some old routines in horror movies, if exciting scenes keep appearing all the time, it seems that there are dense explosions, but because in this process, people's nerves are always in a highly tense state, and for the continuous If you are mentally prepared for the stimulation that occurs, the degree of shock will actually be acceptable.
However, if you suddenly stop in the middle, everything seems to be calm, and people feel that the exciting plot has come to an end, you begin to relax psychologically, and your tense spirit begins to relax... If you are suddenly frightened again at this time, then you will often Breaking through people's psychological threshold.
That's what happened. Gu Mo gritted his teeth tightly and finally suppressed the urge to spit it out.
The black-haired girl next to her didn't like this scene very much, and she frowned slightly. Even if the cause of all this was partly hers, it was the first time for her to see the corpses of demons and ghosts piled up like mountains, reaching such a density.
But putting aside these irrelevant things, she looked around and was surprised by the huge number of spiritual stones. She had been thinking about it since just now.
She had already known that there were spiritual stones hidden here, and the quantity was huge, which was why countless demons and ghosts were able to fight and fight here, but she did not expect that this "huge quantity" was beyond her expectation... …These spiritual stones are not necessarily the same as they were originally. After all, those are the main crystal clusters that are so huge that they are often more than ten meters high, turning this space into a crystal jungle--
A super-large spirit stone of this size would require many people to die on a large-scale battlefield before enough of its essence could be condensed out at once. And even if such a thing is true, it is impossible to say that this thing was unknowingly transported into the mountains of Meinong and stored in such a place.
And giant spiritual stones like this are everywhere here. At a glance, there are more than a dozen of these huge crystal clusters that are often more than ten meters high... They seem to be giant thorns growing out of the ground, tilted. It spreads throughout the cave space, taking up a considerable part of the originally spacious space.
This is probably due to the nature of the spirit stones themselves. They appear to be crystals, but are actually the material properties manifested by the solidification of essence. So when many fragmented spiritual stones are piled together, as time goes by, their essences will flow and merge with each other, concentrating into a whole and becoming a larger spiritual stone.
And it probably took more than a month or two to achieve the scene in front of me... My father may have started collecting spiritual stones a long time ago and buried them here...
Hidechiyo thought carefully and couldn't help but exhale softly.
What Tokichiro said not long ago was correct. She really shouldn't have brought those unrelated soldiers in. They were not suitable to know about this... Over the years, she had encountered many things when she was exterminating demons. The villagers in the countryside were deceived and abused the power of the spirit stone.
This kind of thing has a strange magical power that confuses people's hearts. Even demons and ghosts will fight crazily for them. For ordinary people...
etc!
Suddenly remembering something, the slightly lost black-haired girl quickly turned to look at someone, but found that the other person's face was very ugly. He clenched his fists tightly, and his expression was a little ferocious... Oops! Could it be that he was really distracted and confused by so many spiritual stones?
Hidechiyo pursed her lips. Humans are easily confused, and demons are often confused as well. However, she has never felt anything about them. She doesn’t know if it’s because of the bloodline she inherited, or because she’s a half-demon in the middle. reason.
So the feeling was not particularly profound, and I didn’t react immediately just now, but only remembered it afterward.
But it shouldn’t be a big problem. Being confused is only the first step. As long as he is not allowed to continue to contact and use the spirit stones, he will get rid of the confusion and return to normal quickly. He will not completely lose his mind and degenerate into a demon... …
While she was thinking this, she also took a step forward, preparing to knock the other person unconscious and take him out. It was difficult for people who were confused to communicate, and she couldn't even speak now.
"I'm fine, don't worry..."
Sensing the girl's approach, Gu Mo, who was in a bad state, saw the expression on Hidechiyo's face and thought she was concerned about his situation. After all, his face must be ugly, and the urge to retching also made him very sad. It was hard to restrain, but he didn't notice that the girl was gently clenching her little fists.
He waved his hand, twitched the corner of his mouth, tried to force out a smile, and said very bravely: "Don't worry, it's just these things, I don't take them seriously at all..."
Although during this period, he has changed from an ordinary person who cannot see a murder scene to an ordinary person who can actively create a murder scene, the current span is still too big - this battlefield is really disgusting, whether it is sight or smell The sense of touch, and the bloodiness of the corpse's plasma, all impacted his senses in all directions.
But, people all have this common problem, that is, they like to show off their strength, especially they don’t want to expose their vulnerability in front of others.
No matter what, he will definitely say "I have no problem", "I have seen these situations many times", "I can't defeat myself with such trivial things"——
Gu Mo is naturally no exception. He can accept the fact that Hidechiyo, a weak woman with double A speed and strength, is much stronger than him, and he has been protected and hugged by the girl. But he didn't want to admit that he couldn't even tolerate a bit of bloody scenes, so he acted particularly "precious" and "weak" in front of the other party.
Hidechiyo tilted his head slightly, is this really the case?
Just at this time--
"well said!"
Very suddenly, a thunderous cheer appeared on this bloody battlefield. The voice was full of energy, a little unfamiliar, but also a little familiar.
Gu Mo and Hidechiyo subconsciously turned their heads to look, and found that the stone wall at the end suddenly began to make a dull sound, and slowly moved away bit by bit under the power of the machine's rotation, revealing a secret passage behind it. Come……
Among them, several figures stepped out one after another.
The leader was a tall, strong, bare-headed figure, none other than Saito Douzan.
Before, they had not leaked any aura. They not only hid in the secret passage, but also used some magic means to cooperate with other arrangements to completely cover their own aura. With thorough preparations made in advance, even now Hidechiyo was completely unaware that there was someone hiding on the other side of the stone wall.
Gu Mo opened his mouth, why did the old guy appear here all of a sudden...
By the way, it seems that in the plot, he also pushed Axiu into the secret passage, and stayed behind to face countless swarming demons and ghosts... In other words, in addition to the secret passage in the mansion above, there is indeed a secret passage here There is another secret passage that can leave this mountain.
If this is the case, maybe the old guy did not make any moves, but came to Lushan City before, but did not let anyone know, bypassed everyone, entered the Viper God Realm from another secret passage, and quietly entered the Viper God Realm. Arranging everything here?
"Yes, it's just what you thought..."
Saito Douzan looked at the kid's tongue-tied expression. He laughed, and finally felt happy in his heart. He finally figured out this hateful kid.
"As you can see, this place often attracts a lot of monsters, but they will be dealt with in time every once in a while... But this time, I changed my mind and removed all the people on the mountain from here in advance. Transfer the secret passage away, then let the demons and ghosts cause trouble, and then let a few trustworthy cronies go down the mountain to report the news to you..."
Looking at the old man who was so happy that he wanted to pat his belly, and thinking about the soldier who seemed to be frightened like a repeater from before, Gu Mo felt a little itchy at the root of his teeth.
It was actually a trap from the beginning. No wonder there were so many monsters on the mountain, but not even a single person was seen. Not to mention that they ran away so fast in advance, and even after searching the entire mountain, they didn’t find anyone hiding anywhere, not even a corpse. Not a single one could be found.
It was not that he was unaware of the problem, but just like Tokichiro's subtle reminder at that time, he also tended to think that maybe the soldiers on the mountain were guarding and stealing. Everything was premeditated. After they succeeded, they flew away without knowing where they were fleeing. Went there, who would have thought that it was actually arranged by this old man...
"But you did a great job, and you lived up to my expectations!"
Saito Douzan suppressed his smile and said very seriously.
"Well said, it's just such a thing, don't take it to heart at all! It's a pity that people in the world are stupid and can't see this truth clearly. They always think that it is a shortcut, blindly pursue or even abuse its power, and this will make the world miserable. The war continues year after year!”
"...emmmmm, what are you talking about?"
Gu Mo thought about it seriously and felt that he might not mean what he said.
Saito Michizan's eyes were long and lingering. He looked at the huge number of golden crystals and let out a long sigh: "Ability and wrist are actually only secondary, and they can also be cultivated slowly, but the only thing that matters is the mind. Different, the path chosen is also different..."
If they have different ways, they will not conspire with each other.
Regarding the matter related to spiritual stones, it is Saito Douzan's lifelong ambition, a mutual agreement between himself and his beloved, and a bottom line that he will never compromise.
"You're doing really well. You're probably the most determined person I've ever met...I won't break my promise, and I will definitely give you my fullest help!"
Fixing his gaze on this boy again, Saito Douzan no longer showed disgust this time, but showed admiration and bright eyes. He reiterated this again, making such a promise very seriously and carefully.
"Uh, no... I want to go back. I don't need your help for this, and you can't help me either."
"Of course I know that even if you win the world and have the top of the country, you are still far away from your ambition. This little bit of wealth I have is nothing..." Saito Michizan nodded, not taking it seriously, " But just a little bit can help you, and I never break my promise."
It is obvious to all that the other party got rid of the inner torture so quickly and was not completely confused by the spirit stone just because he succumbed to his inner desires.
Perhaps...he is indeed the one who can take over Meinong and fulfill his ambitions on his behalf.
Saito Douzan thought this, and basically made a decision in his heart. If Yoshiryu had no objection, then let's make this decision... He did not make the decision based entirely on his own opinion, but also consulted Saito According to Yoshitsuru, it was precisely because this daughter had no idea that he had previously intended to give up the country to Oda Nobunaga.
By the way, talking about the rebellious dragon... Saito Douzan quickly turned his head to look.
"Hey, I... forget it."
Gu Mo opened his mouth and finally sighed. It had nothing to do with him anyway. There seemed to be electricity running through his mind, and fragmented noises appeared and rang in his ears. It seemed that the scene judgment had been completed and settlement had begun.
Now that this scene is completed, I have to find a way to escape and return to reality no matter what.
Just think of it as a retaliation for the trap set by the old man. Let him hold on to his misunderstanding and just run away with the bucket without having to explain.
After thinking this, Gu Mo felt at ease, no longer entangled, but turned to look over there——
Two black-haired girls who are exactly the same, as if they are mirror images of each other, have been looking at each other here since just now, and they are silent and not speaking, but there is some kind of strange color flowing in their eyes, it seems that they are both. Some uncontrollable emotions.
Compared to the other one who had been observing in the secret passage for a while and has now calmed down, Hidechiyo's excitement and confusion are obvious.
She stared blankly at the person opposite her, as if she were seeing another version of herself. Perhaps it was the resonance of the same bloodline, or perhaps some unexplained connection between the twins, which made her feel that the other person should be her. The person who was most intimate with him seemed so strange at the moment.
"Ahem, you two sisters... let's get to know each other. Yilong, this is your biological sister, Yoshihide... no, Hidechiyo." Saito Douzan also coughed lightly, and he didn't know that he thought of it. She is still sentimental as she gets older, and her eyes are slightly moist, coated with a layer of crystal. My poor daughter, why is she so miserable?
——Yilong has never seen her mother since she was born, and she never saw her mother until she died...
——And Axiu, who was taken away from her by her mother as soon as she was born. After her mother died, she had to live alone. She has suffered a lot over the years. She can’t even speak and has forgotten her original name...
Viper let out a long sigh, and couldn't help but glance at a certain hateful-looking boy, remembering what Monkey said before.
Although I hate this guy, it's thanks to him being by Axiu's side... From this point of view, I don't have to worry too much about my daughter's future destination, as long as this kid doesn't live up to my expectations! Well, if even Meinong is handed over to them, what will Yilong do next?
