Bulwark of Light

Chapter 574 The Undead and the Chosen One
The wind blows.

The river broke.

Countless ghosts and demons spread along with the strong wind...

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

Mu Wanqiu opened her eyes.

One second, she was still deep in the mountains where the branches were covered with heavy snow, and the next second, she came here, in a stone corridor that might collapse and break at any time.

All this, just because she took a step.

Mu Wanqiu came back to her senses, and quickly surveyed the scene around her. This place seemed to have sealed off her mental power. She even struggled to summon the [Judge], so she could only see with naked eyes.

It takes a while for the naked eye to adapt to the darkness.

After a few seconds, Mu Wanqiu finally saw the scene in front of him clearly. It turned out to be a stone wall covered in obscure ancient scripts, and the [door] that arrived here from Xueling had disappeared.

She looked around, and there were also stone walls on the left and right.

She seemed to have arrived at the end of a certain dead end. Fortunately, there was a long and narrow escape route 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... the "second half" after Black Snow Mountain?
Mu Wanqiu squinted her phoenix eyes. She still didn't know where she had come, but what was certain was that... [Judge] was no longer agitated, and the irresistible sense of calling was slowly dissipating.

You have come to the right place.

But it doesn't seem to be right again...

Mu Wanqiu originally thought that after stepping into the [door], she would immediately be greeted with a nightmare scene.

The Heihe River was churning, and the huge waves were surging.

Under the beating of the turbulent waves, he had to ride the big flag of the [Judge] to cross it with difficulty.

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

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

Mu Wanqiu stared at the stone wall, vaguely realizing.

The Beizhou military's exploration of the Doru River has just begun, and it is only in its infancy now. There is too much information unknown, such as the "skeleton" found in the mountains before... Osmond speculates that there are supernatural beings in the disaster. Living creatures inhabit, but so far there is no breath of living things.

But this broken tunnel can almost serve as ironclad proof.

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

Only extraordinary beings can accomplish this kind of action.

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

She tried to remember it, but it was a pity that such things as ancient texts can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. If you don't understand it, you will never be able to remember it.

Open your eyes.

She memorized the shapes of the words on the stone wall in her mind.

Close your eyes.

The characters whose shape had been memorized before slowly faded away and disappeared, as if a strange magic power took effect in the spiritual sea, making it impossible for her to remember.

Tried many times.

Failed repeatedly.

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

a long time.

Mu Wanqiu really had no choice but to sigh softly.

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

Things related to "ancient characters" seem to have a special attribute.

Can't remember.

Cannot be taught.

She could only give up the idea of ​​taking the things here.Instead, start thinking about your situation.

In fact, she had no choice.

Three stone walls blocked her way, and she had only one way to choose.

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

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

Sometimes, there seem to be many paths left by fate for a person.

But really, that's all there is to it.

Mu Wanqiu knew that before she came here, she had no choice... With her personality, she would definitely participate in the restart mission, and she would definitely choose to follow her inner calling, so she would definitely step into that [door] and come to here.

That being the case.

There is nothing to hesitate.

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

10 minute later.

She reached the end of the stone wall.

The good news is that the journey is 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 don't remember any ancient Chinese.

Other than that.

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

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 an endless maze, but the difference was that Mu Wanqiu had silently counted the steps as early as the beginning, and the quiet darkness did not make her panic. The maze was getting longer and longer, and she might just be in the "maze" ", this is a good thing, I should be very close to the "exit" of the outside world.

at last.

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

In front of her, there is no turning point.

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

Three walls blocked all the exits, and the only difference... was his way of retreat, which was his way of coming.

I have gone through so many detours, the position at this moment is likely to be only a short distance away from the initial point at the time of "arrival".

At this moment, Mu Wanqiu's already slightly gloomy pretty face was full of evil spirit.

If it wasn't for her not being able to understand these ancient texts, and being afraid of touching the walls, which would lead to unknown taboos... Then she would have made a move on the way and directly smashed the thick walls.

Between two points, the straight line is the shortest.

She hated twists and turns the most in her life.

"Clang" sound!
The saber at her waist was unsheathed, Mu Wanqiu took a step back, she held the handle of the saber with one hand, a huge pale and dark ghost appeared behind her, stretched out her big hand, and held the long saber together with her.

A knife!

Cut it off!

The stone wall covered with ancient texts was instantly shattered, bursting out one after another black rays of light.

"Rumble rumble—"

Mu Wanqiu's pupils contracted, and the source armor mask on top of her head automatically knocked down, because after the stone wall was broken, a majestic black water poured in... Immediately after, tons of black water poured into this ancient but In the dry corridor, she smashed the wall, connected the secret passage with the outside world, and witnessed the scene in her nightmare as she wished.

"Water of the Styx" comes from the sky.

……

……

The roaring sound vibrated in my ears.

Gu Shen drew the bow and loosened the string.

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

Pure land.

Accompanied by the explosion and tremor of the iron dome on the zenith, Meng Xiao had no time to react. The arrow that pierced Tianling had already reached his chest. He tried to reach out to grab it, but the iron arrow disappeared in a flash and turned into a phantom. , penetrated through.

This is the shadow of an arrow that cannot be grasped at all, it is an illusion, it is illusory, it is the thunder that pierces through real and false dreams... It is a pity that the Pure Land is an illusory fantasy land, even if Meng Xiao really stretched out his hand to hold this arrow, he couldn't change anything.

In the real world, his physical body has already been pierced by this arrow.

The time of hypnosis has reached the limit.

The flowing clouds, blades of grass, and the throne of the Pure Land, all under this arrow, turned into the reflected light and shadow of the Iron Qiong Lake.

After returning to the real world, Meng Xiao lowered his head in a daze, looking at the bloody hole in his chest.

Iron arrows pierced through the chest.

The wound was extremely smooth.

Perhaps it was because the temperature of the "blazing fire" was too high. No blood flowed from this small wound until now. If it wasn't for the hot mist generated by Chi Chi, the scene on the other side could be clearly seen from one side of the cave entrance. .

Meng Xiao stopped talking.

So the world became extremely quiet.

the other side.

Gu Shen's spirit also returned to the bottom of the Styx River, ending the forced hypnosis of adversity. His mouth and nose began to overflow with blood, and dense blood beads also oozed from his fingertips.

Bow twice.

His body has reached its limit.

Both the spirit and the body have reached the limit.

With the strength of the seventh level, he forcibly attacked and killed the extraordinary person on the tenth level... 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 fresh blood...

But a ray of light.

This almost violates the normal cognition of human beings.

The arrow just now pierced Meng Xiao's heart.

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

Gu Shen looked at Meng Xiao quietly.

There are countless blazing lights in front of my eyes, the picture seeping from my chest...

He felt a tinge of familiarity.

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

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

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

This is a triumphant laugh.

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

Just a little bit.

Really... just a little bit.

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

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

everything is over.

At this moment, Gu Shen, the voice from a long time ago echoed in his mind.

【"The [Undead] who has carried all the kalpas, the [Heavenly Chosen] who has endured pain..."】

He thought of the scene when Dadu faced the apostle of the Tower of Origin.

At that time, Song Ci also suffered fatal injuries.

And the token of the God of Light merged with his undead blood, and a similar scene broke out.

After World War I, Gu Shen actually thought about a question.

Why was Gu Nanfeng able to ask for the token of going to the God of Light for Song Ci...

God seat should be carefully selected for his "executor of will" and have extremely high standards.

And now.

This question seems to have been answered on the side.

"so……"

Gu Shen looked at Meng Xiao thoughtfully, and said softly, "Are you also an 'undead'?"
