Moreover, I have many connections in Crescent Town. If you encounter any obstacles again, I can also help. "
I thought about it carefully and thought that what she said made sense. If we were to be blocked by some townspeople who didn't know the truth along the way, having Xiao Qiao here could save us a lot of trouble.
After discussing with Lonnie and Bai Ze, they had no objection to this, so I agreed to Xiao Qiao and allowed her to go on this expedition with us.
"You must follow us closely, don't run around without permission, and obey our commands when encountering situations. Can you do that?"
Xiao Qiao quickly said: "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely be obedient. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
I nodded and said nothing more. Several people followed Huahu and walked out of Crescent Town.
Xiaona was very fast. She stopped after walking for a while, stretched out her nose to smell the air, and then moved on.
We followed it and trudged all the way. We didn't know how long we walked. The sky gradually became gloomy and thick fog began to appear in our sight.
Only then did we discover that the place Xiaona led us to was a mountain valley.
"Mr. Cheng, the manor is just ahead."
Xiaona suddenly stopped and said to me.
I followed Xiaona's line of sight, and sure enough I saw, not far from the valley, a row of majestic buildings standing there, looming in the mist.
"Let's go in and take a look."
With that said, we started to move towards the location of the manor.
Just walking around, I noticed something was wrong.
We have been walking for more than ten minutes since we first saw the manor, but the manor is still at a certain distance from us, hidden in the mist.
The manor seemed to be deliberately playing hide-and-seek with us. As we moved forward, it kept retreating, keeping us from getting closer.
After walking for another ten minutes, there was still no sign of approaching the manor. At this time, both Bai Ze and Lonnie realized something was wrong and stopped.
"What's going on? Have we been hit by a ghost?"
Bai Ze said with some confusion.
"No, the ghost wall can only work on ordinary people, and it is impossible to trap the Ma family immortals."
Lonnie shook her head: "If I guessed correctly, this should be the protective barrier Xiaona mentioned. This is a special kind of barrier, which is made of a mixture of death energy and resentment. Any living creature entering it will be They’ll all be trapped.”
I also came to my senses: "No wonder, this place is not too far from Crescent Town, but none of the townspeople know its existence. It seems that those who know this place have been trapped and died in the fog."
Lonnie nodded: "Xiao Chengzi, let's try to guide the paper kite."
"good."
I took out a yellow talisman, quickly pinched out a paper kite, took out the cinnabar and lightly touched the kite's eyes, then tossed it casually, and the paper kite flew into the air and began to lead the way forward.
Xiao Qiao was very excited when he saw this scene: "Master Cheng, are you performing magic? It's amazing!"
I explained: "The paper kite that guides the way is an essential technique for our Ma family. It can break away obstacles and lead to the way to life."
This trick was indeed effective. Wherever the kite passed, the fog dispersed. Under the guidance of the kite, we quickly reached the location of the manor.
The gate of the manor had long been in decay, and when pushed lightly, the door shaft made a harsh sound.
Through the exposed gaps, we got in one after another, and the interior of this mysterious manor was finally revealed in front of us.
The interior of the manor is very vast, with endless roads as far as the eye can see. Countless roads intersect with each other. Various trees and flowers are planted on both sides of the roads. It can be seen that the builders made careful designs when it was first built.
Just because it was too old and no one took care of it, the branches of those trees grew wildly and had long been intertwined with each other, covering the entire sky.
The flowers and plants on the ground also spread wantonly, covering the entire ground. A cold wind blew through, and countless branches and leaves were scattered on the ground, adding a sense of desolation and dilapidation.
In the sight, from far to near, there are many marble buildings, standing there alone, with ivy growing on the walls. The stained glass in the windows completely hides the situation inside the buildings, making them even more mysterious and strange.
Just standing in this environment for a few seconds, I felt an inexplicable sense of sadness permeating my body and mind.
I know that this is the psychological suggestion caused by the unique aura in the manor. If I allow myself to be immersed in it, the consequences will be disastrous.
So I quickly bit my fingertip and smeared a drop of fingertip blood on my forehead, and then I regained my composure.
"This is the manor I dreamed about. Everything is so real. I really want to cry..."
Seeing that Xiao Qiao was also immersed in sadness, I followed my example and helped her break free from this emotion.
"Xiao Qiao, do you still remember the destination you were going to in your dream?"
Xiao Qiao shook his head: "I don't know, but every time in my dreams, I seem to hear a voice guiding me to a certain place."
"That voice came again, and it made me keep moving forward here, keep moving forward..."
I immediately said: "Don't resist that voice, just follow its guidance and we will protect you."
Xiao Qiao felt relieved and walked deeper into the manor along the dilapidated road.
Together with Lonnie, Bai Ze and Xiaona, I followed closely behind her, always paying attention to the surrounding situation.
As I walked, my heart suddenly tightened. I looked up and saw the trees above my head swaying slightly, as if there was a shadow flashing past.
I stared at the tree crown for a long time, but found nothing unusual, then lowered my head and continued on my way.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came. I raised my head suddenly and saw a monster with a human head opening its mouth and swooping down towards me!
I quickly pulled out the King of Martial Whip and whipped it towards the monster.
Snapped!
With a crisp sound, the monster turned into a ball of blood mist and disappeared.
"What it is?"
Lonnie and Bai Ze, who were walking in front, also noticed my movement and quickly turned around and asked.
"Didn't see clearly."
I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "It seemed like a flying human head suddenly emerged from the branches and launched a sneak attack on me."
"This manor is too weird. We don't know what terrible monsters are waiting for us ahead. Everyone must be vigilant."
As soon as I finished speaking, Xiao Qiao, who was walking at the front, suddenly let out a scream.
We rushed over and saw a monster with a human head, showing a pair of sharp fangs, biting Xiao Qiao's hair and refused to let go.
