The black mist is like a veil, and the light is like water.
A petrified sculpture stood in the darkness.
Horror, despair, and disbelief are painted on the face of the sculpture, lifelike.
Demonic crows transformed into wisps of black mist hover around the sculpture, like vultures waiting to feast on carrion.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, an arrow shot through the air, and a ball of fireworks exploded above the head of the petrified sculpture.
The demon crows were frightened and turned into black mist and dispersed.
Two figures ran over from a distance.
"Lu Zhaohui, Lu Zhaohui." Li Ran shouted.
Zhao Yingzhi was not idle either. She placed nine thunder kites around the inner circle of the defensive shield.
The dark lantern had drifted away. Li Ran put the flashlight on his shoulders and head, and he had to go into the water.
Wait, he has a wife in the dungeon, but he is still single in reality.
In the quiet black water, the sound of water suddenly coming from behind was particularly harsh, and something was following behind.
Li Ran looked up excitedly at the stone door on the ancient altar, and saw a message floating above the stone door in front of him.
"Then can he still be saved?" Zhao Yingzhi asked.
"Wow~~"
He took out a lantern and placed it in the corner.
And you, what do you expect of yourself?
Soon, a circle of demon tree puppets and demon tree people appeared around the tree stump. They grew up one after another, just like transplanting seedlings. The speed was staggering.
The Dark Mask has less than fifteen minutes left. Although the Little Demon Infant can be remade, it cannot be reused. The cooling time is one day.
"It's almost time, it's time to enter the tree hole." Li Ran said.
"Shall we go up and wait? The expiration date of the dark mask is about to expire." Zhao Yingzhi asked.
"Yeah." Zhao Yingzhi nodded.
However, the Ming Lantern was not afraid. It slowly floated on the water and drifted deeper into the black water.
Zhao Yingzhi was wet all over. Perhaps she felt uncomfortable with the wetness all over her body. She planned to change into clean clothes before injecting the powerful anesthetic.
"Is that the Realm Gate?"
Li Ran frowned slightly, took out the territorial prop [Tree Hole Safe House], and looked at Shimen thoughtfully.
"The mask time is less than an hour, and we haven't found the gate yet!" Zhao Yingzhi said with a solemn expression.
The attack of the magic crow is invisible and impossible to guard against.
"They can't confuse me." Li Ran said very firmly. He looked at Zhao Yingzhi and said: "Captain Zhang tortured you for six days and still couldn't pry your mouth open. It shows that your inner concentration is also extraordinary. Maybe it's because Inside your body..."
After twisting and turning, Li Ran landed in a huge tree hole surrounded by tree walls.
But as long as you don't get curious, don't think about it, and don't seek death, there will be no danger!
"What was supposed to come has come." Li Ran whispered to Zhao Yingzhi.
"One of the rules in the dark palace is [If anyone talks to you, don't respond.]" Li Ran said with a solemn expression.
Zhao Yingzhi looked at Li Ran in shock: "How many more treasures do you have hidden?"
He didn't expect to be separated in this way.
The two of them were extremely nervous.
"A scumbag, a scumbag like me?" Li Ran smiled.
….
"The energy shield obtained from the previous mission can always protect our safety as long as it is not broken." Li Ran said lightly.
"They are those magic crows. They can transform into people or things in people's inner world. People with weak minds can easily be deceived by them."
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee."
They could only continue to follow Ming Deng.
Little Red Tong and Little Demon Infant lay down next to the tree hole, looking down with their little heads, extremely curious about what kind of world there was inside.
Li Ran breathed heavily, but felt the air he breathed stinging
Holding his throat: "You can go in peace."
Li Ran raised his head and stared at the demonic black bird hovering in the sky, endless anger bursting from his eyes.
Instead, it became the easiest target for those magic crows.
If there was no heavy mortgage pressure or life pressure in the real world, and you could follow your heart, what would your life be like?
Xu in Black Water never thought in his life that there would be two stubborn players who talked freely all the way, sometimes laughing, sometimes arguing, and sometimes longing for ideals, but they didn't take them seriously.
The sound of water flowing behind him also became more frequent and intensive.
This ancient altar has been in existence for who knows how many years. Moss and withered vines can be seen everywhere creeping ferociously on it. At the top of the ancient altar is a majestic stone door that has gone through many vicissitudes of life.
"Why?" Li Ran asked curiously.
There was the sound of water flowing behind me.
After receiving the confirmation of the prompt, a heavy stone in Li Ran's heart finally fell.
After that, the two continued to swim forward.
Zhao Yingzhi looked solemn, turned around, biting the corner of her mouth!
From time to time, he could take out all kinds of strange props from the storage space. She suspected that Li Ran had hidden Doraemon's treasure bag.
Li Ran held his chin in one hand and dug at the tree wall on the ground in boredom. Listening to the rustling sounds behind him, he thought to himself: "I, Li Ran, act openly and openly, how can I do such a sloppy thing."
After all, there are still five or six minutes before the Dark Mask expires.
Then, he took out three more bags and sprinkled all the seeds and saplings in the bags around the stump.
After the tree stump was placed on the ground, it expanded several times, and a dark tree hole appeared in the center of the stump, which an adult could easily get into.
He was ready to withstand the coldness of the black water.
Zhao Yingzhi hurriedly stopped the random thoughts in her mind and quickly calmed herself down.
"You even have this. It's really scary to think about it. How many other secrets have you hidden?" Zhao Yingzhi said in disbelief.
The stone gate seemed to have existed forever, giving off a sense of grandeur and shock. Looking up under the altar, Li Ran felt as small as an ant.
"I didn't lie to you," Li Ran said.
The little red pupil and the little devil baby flew up happily, got into the tree hole and slid down like a slide.
The gate opens three hours before the end of the crazy night.
The size of the Dark Hall was far beyond her imagination.
After being driven underwater by Grandma Mi and using the underwater breathing potion once, Li Ran felt that he could keep more of these things in the storage space, and they would always be useful.
Li Ran stepped forward, squatted down and scooped water with his hands, his tentacles were gentle, and strangely, the black water turned into transparent water when it reached his palm, which was no different from the lake water he usually saw.
….
There was a "swishing" sound in the black waters, like a group of people leaving the scene disappointed, and there were sighs one after another.
Word spread that their Xuhui here was very shameless.
If those magic crows were ghosts or something like that, Li Ran could still use the [Death Dream] violin to deal with it.
"Before that, we need to make some preparations to ensure that we are not taken advantage of during these ten hours."
Li Ran frowned slightly, and a line of prompts appeared in front of him.
He looked aside, but Zhao Yingzhi did not have such a good attitude as Li Ran.
The light was swallowed up, and there were no ripples on the water. It looked like a vast black mirror placed on the ground.
"No, that's all. What happens next depends on God's will. We should pray that Xu doesn't appear nearby before the gate is opened."
I don’t know how long I walked until the view ahead suddenly became wider.
Can you respect the Hollow in the Badwater area?
"Wow~~"
Thinking of this, Zhao Yingzhi's face turned as bright red as blood and extremely hot.
Zhao Yingzhi gritted her teeth and jumped into the water
.
I do not know how long it has been.
Li Ran shook his head, gritted his teeth tightly, and remained silent.
The surroundings were dark, but Li Ran stopped. The light shone in front of him, and a lifeless body of water appeared in front of him.
In this way, the two of them followed the Ming Lantern and swam into the endless unknown darkness in the water.
Looking at the petrified Lu Zhaohui, Li Ran unconsciously thought of the honest guy who followed him all day long and called him Brother Ran. He impressed the lizard demon Meng Ge with his sincerity. At that moment, Li Ran felt that he was extremely dazzling. Every time I was envious when I saw him and Meng Ge playing together. After all, he was the only player who lived the coolest life in the dungeon, at least that's what Li Ran thought.
But now, only ten hours have passed, and more than half of the time is still unknown.
Then the two of them swam in the black water with their heads raised, following the exhaust gas of the dark lantern.
"It's not cold, come down quickly." Li Ran urged.
Zhao Yingzhi shook her head and said: "No, I think that in fact, people don't need to be competitive or show off to others. The most important thing is to follow your heart and live well in the present. So after I get out alive, I want to be a heartless person." A heartless scumbag."
Looking around, there is nothing here except wrinkled old tree bark.
"It wasn't until I arrived in the strange world that I realized that no matter how good you are in the real world, how many achievements you have made, or what deeds you have done, you are useless in this world." Zhao Yingzhi said.
(Safe for now!)
"Don't look back!" they both said at the same time.
"You're not going to go into the water, are you?" Zhao Yingzhi looked frightened.
Zhao Yingzhi also quickly followed.
Geniuses are not born geniuses. Most people are forced to become geniuses by their parents, teachers, and relatives. When you become someone else's child, you become the capital to show off to your parents, the glory in the eyes of your teachers, and the glory in the eyes of your classmates. Study God, but is that really you? Isn’t that what everyone expects?
"Wow~~"
Li Ran asked Zhao Yingzhi to get into the tree hole first, and he stayed outside the tree hole to observe for a while.
Li Ran could clearly see the ripples coming from behind him and in front of him, from the initial tiny ripples to multiple ripples coming from behind.
….
Zhao Yingzhi looked at Lu Zhaohui who turned into a sculpture in disbelief.
Even if Li Ran wanted to protect him, he was powerless.
"He answered them!"
"We're about to reach the border." Li Ran pointed to the black water border ahead and said.
Li Ran was also speechless and sighed resentfully: "Women are trouble."
(The gate that has not yet been opened)
Only then did he get into the tree hole with confidence.
Li Ran has the [Concentration Necklace] and the [Immunity Ring], so he is not afraid of most mental attacks, and those demon crows can do nothing to him.
She took out a set of dry clothes from the storage space and looked at Li Ran timidly: "Turn around."
It is hard to imagine how there could be such an altar in this dark palace.
Although the man in front of him is indeed worthy of trust, he has a wife here.
Zhao Yingzhi suddenly realized that Li Ran wanted to use these topics to distract her attention and resolve her inner fear.
"How can this be called stealing? I just inherited his inheritance."
The black water rippled in her throat, like a pair of hands strangling her throat, making her breathless. Coupled with the sound of water flowing closely behind her, she could feel something following behind her, and there was more than one.
Li Ran grabbed the little devil baby in his hand, pointed to the tree hole where it had slid down and said, "Daddy is going to sleep for a while. When you and Chi Tong hear something moving outside, put a dark door in the tree hole." ,Understand?"
"Why was he petrified, but we were fine?"
"Being able to accept it at least alleviates some of the fear in my heart." Zhao Yingzhi said.
After seeing Li Ran turn around, Zhao Yingzhi also turned her back to face the wrinkled tree wall.
Rustlingly, he changed out of his damp clothes.
"You can't overturn the theory that the real world is useless just because you are frustrated here." Li Ran said.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. If I could go back alive, I would be a young model every day and not do the same thing every day." Li Ran said with a smile.
"This rule is too difficult. How can you be sure that the person you are talking to is a demonic crow? For example, is there anyone between you and me who is a demonic crow?" Zhao Yingzhi asked.
The underworld lantern was still floating slowly on the water, its dim blue underworld glow shining all around.
Li Ran didn't have an answer to this question, and Golden Finger didn't give any hints.
"Take this, it should be able to eliminate some of your inner fears." Li Ran handed Zhao Yingzhi a bottle of potion. He saw Zhao Yingzhi's uneasiness and explained: "This is the underwater breathing potion. You can drink it if you drown. .”
Although I don’t know what is following behind me.
There is no doubt that they encountered the void in the black water realm.
Walking through a forest, we came to an open space.
Zhao Yingzhi was stunned. She didn't expect that Li Ran could chat with her so calmly in such a cold and terrifying environment.
She can swim, but is afraid of the dark and the deep sea.
Li Ran rested for two days. He didn't just sit in the sun and do nothing every day. He took into account all the obstacles he might encounter and the various environments he might encounter, including the possibility of entering underwater battles.
"Hey." The little devil baby nodded.
….
Seeing this, Li Ran frowned and said, "Zhao Yingzhi, if we can leave the strange world alive, what is the first thing you want to do when you return to the real world?"
"There is only one last rule left," Zhao Yingzhi said.
"How long has it been since Zhao Yingzhi? Do you still have the heart to think about such nonsense?"
"The demon tree puppet can be used to attract fire, the demon tree people can also participate in the battle, and the demon vine is a trap." Li Ran muttered as he sprinkled all the seeds in the kit on the ground.
As he spoke, Li Ran took out a half-capsule-shaped cover and threw it into the sky. The semi-transparent cover quickly grew in size, forming a huge transparent protective cover to cover the two of them inside.
The two of them landed safely and continued walking.
"If I go back alive, I...I think...I want to be a bad student."
"What's going on with him? How could such a good person be like this?"
Zhao Yingzhi on the side was stunned and said: "How much preparation have you made?"
Li Ran entered the black water. What he didn't expect was that the black water was not cold, but very warm.
The cold light shone on Li Ran's back, lengthening his shadow.
Zhao Yingzhi asked in a heavy voice.
In the quiet darkness, the sound of water flowing was particularly harsh.
The lights were like frost, the surroundings were dead silent, and at the end of the desolate woods was an ancient altar.
His fists couldn't help but clenched tightly! !
As Li Ran and Zhao Yingzhi walked away, countless demonic crows swooped down from the sky and swallowed the sculpture in an instant.
The happiest one was the little devil baby. He opened his arms and ran quickly on the water with his hot wheels, causing a series of ripples to fly on the water.
She was afraid of water, and the dark water made her frightened and uneasy. Whenever she floated in the water, she felt like a pair of hands were grabbing her throat, making it impossible for her to breathe.
No, this is a dark palace.
The cracks on the stone steps in front of the altar were overgrown with weeds.
The lifeless black water environment was extremely unsettling. The two of them swam forward cautiously. In addition to the sound of their own paddling, there was also a very chaotic rhythm of paddling. It didn't even sound like swimming. The sound seemed like some kind of creature in the black water, following closely behind them.
This means that they are about to break through all the rules of the Dark Palace and move toward the Realm Gate.
"That way you don't have to live for others anymore!" Zhao Yingzhi said.
"You even stole three of Lu Zhaohui's tips?" Zhao Yingzhi said in disbelief.
Standing silently in the darkness.
It's a pity that the magic crow is a kind of virtuality in the dark palace.
Both of them felt their hearts skip a beat at the same time.
"What words!"
(Territory props cannot be placed above the altar. You can try it in the open area under the steps of the altar.)
After being reminded by Golden Finger, Li Ran strode towards the steps, then hugged the tree stump and placed it in an open area under the steps.
Even if Lu Zhaohui overcame part of the magic crows' temptation, he could not withstand the disturbance in his mind by the countless magic crows. Once the magic crows caught the weakness deep in his heart, Lu Zhaohui would definitely fall for it.
"You...turn around first."
"Let's go quickly." Li Ran urged.
Any problem can be easily resolved in his hands.
….
And Zhao Yingzhi still has a vampire soul in her body, so it is not easy to seduce her.
He is omnipotent and omniscient.
In addition to having a golden finger, his cautiousness is also the key to surviving until now.
Along the way, Zhao Yingzhi felt more and more that Li Ran was a monster.
Lu Zhaohui had nothing but the tips of the three saplings.
Get cheat tips.
Just like that, a long time passed.
Li Ran seemed to understand what Zhao Yingzhi was thinking.
But it was her first time to be in the same room with a boy. She had never taken off her clothes in front of others, so she would inevitably feel shy.
Little Chitong's dog paddle swimming was very fast and she swam at the front.
"The tree stump props cannot be placed on the altar. It seems that we can only spend the remaining ten hours here." Li Ran said.
At this time, Zhao Yingzhi's face turned red and she said to Li Ran.
(She is about to change clothes and doesn’t want you to see.)
A line of prompts appears.
Her breathing became rapid, and her paddling limbs began to become chaotic.
After Lu Chaohui was petrified, he had been holding the three tips in his hand. Although he was in a heavy heart, he would use all the things that should be used to ensure that nothing went wrong, so he took them directly.
Immediately, he turned around and left indifferently.
At this time, the little devil baby flew in front of Li Ran, and a ball of black mist exploded in his hand, turning out a small mirror and handing it to Li Ran.
"Little devil baby, you don't understand Daddy's thoughts at all. Daddy is not that kind of person. Oh, don't take it over."
Li Ran took the mirror and glanced at it.
Damn, it’s so big!
