Chapter 119 The Wandering Travel Group (Fifty)
The entire wall of the coffin they were in had been lifted up.
The night wind blew in, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.
Bei Xi quickly pulled out a cloak from the warehouse, wrapped the still very weak Nan Huan in his arms, and looked at the extremely strange scene in front of him.
The big tree originally carved on the wall, nourished by Nanhuan's blood, came alive in an instant, and it was floating in the dark air without anyone noticing.
All the red flowers on it are tied to countless red strings, supporting thousands and countless coffins.
One after another, red lights were lit up from the dark surface of the coffin.
And these red lights faintly followed a red line that went straight to the top and gathered on the sky lantern.
The sky lantern that was originally barely detectable in the darkness finally revealed its shape.
It is completely black, and it is unknown what material it is made of. The wick is hidden inside the layers of petals, and there seems to be something engraved on the corolla.
It was too far away, and Bei Xi couldn't see clearly.
However, the completely black lamp holder seemed to be awakened after being exposed to the red light.
The flower, which was originally in bud, seemed to have absorbed nutrients. From the base to the petals, it slowly transitioned from black to red like a chameleon, eventually revealing the wick inside the pistil.
"If I hadn't thought about the densely packed coffins in front of me, I would think this scene is quite beautiful." This change lasted for a while, and when the players had almost recovered a little, Ah She complained while holding his arm which was still painful.
"And when I think about the red color, which was dyed by the young lady's blood, I feel sick."
She took another glance and found the scene in front of her very disgusting. She threw down a few words and went to see how the eldest lady was doing.
The player, who had been stunned for a moment by the scene before him, gradually came back to his senses.
If they had not truly felt the pain that the young lady was feeling just now, they would probably have sighed at the scene before them. However, when they thought about what they had exchanged for it, they no longer had the mood to do so.
However, the young lady had almost been surrounded by people from their team, and the captain's face had become less favorable because of the increasing number of people surrounding him, so the remaining players chose to stand aside wisely.
The pain in Nan Huan's arm had eased a lot, but her consciousness had not fully recovered. She looked at Jing Xiang in the mass grave in a daze and muttered something.
"It's almost dawn... the light isn't quite on yet..."
Her mind was still a little distracted, but she did not forget that the reason they entered the mass grave was because she herself triggered a special single-player mission - tying the red thread and lighting the sky lantern.
At this moment, only part of the task has been completed.
After her reminder, everyone saw that outside the dark mass grave, the sky was already foggy and there were signs of light.
She grabbed Bei Xi's collar with one hand and shook it weakly, but what she wanted to say was already in her eyes.
Bei Xi was still hesitating, and Nan Huan had not fully recovered. If the lamp still needed Nan Huan's blood to be lit, it would be a dead end.
Now that she was no longer restricted, she needed to prepare for the worst.
At the moment when Nan Huan made a silent request with her eyes, she felt something tied around her wrist.
"Hand..." She uttered a syllable with difficulty, then hugged Bei Xi, "Hold me tight."
Bei Xi reacted almost instinctively based on Nan Hua's words, and the rest of the people were even more confused.
Before I could react, I found that the two people in front of me disappeared in a flash.
When he looked up again, he saw that a red string had been tied around Nan Huan's wrist, and Bei Xi was hugging him, letting the red string pull them both up into the air.
The first one to react was Lingyue. Almost at the moment the two flew away, she jumped up, stepped on the coffin, and followed.
It was as if he could predict what was going to happen and was already prepared.
This reaction was noticed by Nineteen.
Others are not very clear about Lingyue’s background and skills, but Nineteen is very clear.
Whether it was the other party's words when she came to the guild, or her performance after entering the dungeon, it could be seen that she valued Nan Huan very much, to the point that she would execute whatever was said without hesitation, and would even be willing to sacrifice her life for the other party at any time.
If the other party's actions also gave Nineteen a signal, it would mean that the young lady was likely in danger.
"We have to follow them..." Nineteen made the decision in less than a few seconds. "Lingyue and I will lead the way, and Ah She and Ah Kong will follow in the middle. We don't need to get too close. I have already opened the internal anti-eavesdropping channel. If there are any problems, just communicate. Pay attention to the problems."
"President Alice, please follow the Mad Hatter to cover the rear. Although the special mission has not yet ended, we still have to be on guard against the Miao border. Please pay attention to your safety."
Ah She and Ah Kong, who had fought alongside the eldest lady and the president for so long, agreed to this arrangement without asking any questions.
Alice naturally saw something from Lingyue's behavior, but on the one hand, she had not investigated the other party's identity before, and she was also very sure that before the guild entered this copy, the other party did not exist on the guild's focus list at all.
However, the president and the eldest lady chose to bring her with them when they entered this copy, or Lingyue had her own means and followed her into this copy. The president and the eldest lady also acquiesced to this behavior, which shows that the other party's identity is not ordinary.
Secondly, in this copy, Lingyue's performance is not particularly dazzling. She is missing an arm and does not have particularly outstanding combat skills, but she still has basic fighting skills and combat status.
Unless the situation is particularly dangerous, you won't even notice her presence.
In other words, during such a long time in a copy, even Alice had been forced to use her own personal skills several times, but she still couldn't see Lingyue's trump card clearly.
But she did discover another interesting thing, which was Lingyue's reaction to the eldest lady was very special.
It's not like the president who is full of affection and wants to observe the other person's reaction anytime and anywhere.
She also cared a lot about the eldest lady's feelings and reactions, but she was more inclined to respect and admire her. She would even consciously stand guard for the two of them when the president was present.
There is nothing wrong with this strange thing. If it gets out of hand, it will at most be just the president's family affair.
They are now in a cooperative relationship. As long as it does not affect the cooperation of the entire team, Alice doesn't care about it at all, so she did not refuse Nineteen's arrangement.
"I know, don't worry."
Everyone had been holding their breath because of the third coffin game, but at Nineteen's command, everyone jumped out directly.
On the Miao side, it is obvious that the players are not as united as the guild.
"Should we follow, President?"
The doll had just recovered and was a little confused when he saw everyone from the guild coming out in full force.
Miao Jiang was actually a little hesitant. The situation just now had already made it clear that as long as the special mission was not over, they and the eldest lady shared a common destiny. Especially when Nan Huan was forced to suck blood just now, they could do nothing and could only wait to die.
But the eldest lady's body has obviously reached its limit, so why is she still lingering on? This doesn't make sense.
If the system sets up this game to target the young lady, why should she leave a glimmer of hope? Leaving a glimmer of hope is actually not much different from drawing some of the opponent's blood.
But now was obviously not the time to think about these questions. She glanced at the sky which was getting brighter and made a decision.
"Follow them from a distance. If the young lady's life is really in danger, we will take action. If her life is not in danger, we will find an opportunity once this special mission is declared over."
Miao Jiang didn't finish the rest of the words, but Wawa already understood what his president was thinking.
However, for the remaining players who originally stood on the Miaojiang side, whose abilities were inferior to the other side, and who were later forced to cooperate with Guild Yi, all the previous events have already demonstrated the indestructibility of Guild Yi's president and the eldest lady.
When people are ignorant, they always make wrong decisions.
But after truly recognizing the truth, we will always be afraid.
Miao Jiang naturally knew what these people were thinking. She glanced at the people who lowered their heads and said, "Don't forget what you did in the first side quest. Do you really think that a guild and a leader can be so magnanimous and forgive the past? If you follow me and fight together, there is still a glimmer of hope. Otherwise..."
Otherwise, not only would the guild not be able to escape, but even the Miao people in front of them could easily deal with them who were two-faced.
This time, everyone understood what he meant by the unfinished words.
After saying this, Miao Jiang ignored other people's reactions and chased after him with the doll.
The players behind him hesitated for a while, but still followed Miao Jiang's footsteps and caught up.
Once you get on some pirate ships, it is very difficult to get off.
Bei Xi held Nan Huan in his arms and followed the red line. It didn't take long for them to reach the top.
But the red string tied around Nan Huan’s wrist was not taken back.
Nan Huan was not sure whether her consciousness was fully awake, because during the ascent, she saw the princess's illusory figure surrounding her again.
Until they got close to the sky lanterns, they were not allowed to get close for some reason.
Bei Xize finally saw clearly that the pillar of the sky lantern had turned from black to red due to Nanhuan's blood, and there was no special pattern engraved on it, but a few clouds.
It was the first time that Bei Xi saw this pattern, but she always felt something was wrong.
“Can you see it?”
Nan Huan felt the pulling sensation on his wrist. The red line seemed to be very eager to pull Nan Huan towards the sky lantern.
Bei Xi followed Nan Huan's gaze and looked around, but saw nothing, so she shook her head.
"There's nothing around, what do you see?"
"There are so many phantom figures of the princess, all around me, I'm not sure if my consciousness is still..."
Nan Huan told the truth. She had nothing to hide from Bei Xi. But before she finished speaking, she felt a slight heat on her lips.
Before she could finish her words, Bei Xi lowered his head and pinched her lips.
He gave her a gentle kiss, and noticing that the person in his arms suddenly tensed up and stopped talking, Bei Xi kissed the corner of Nan Huan's lips soothingly and raised his head.
"It seems that you are not unconscious, but only you can see those shadows."
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed the red string, preventing the other party from pulling and urging Nan Huan as they wished.
"Look at the lamppost. The cloud pattern on it seems a little weird to me. And do you think the red line seems a little too eager?"
Bei Xi reached out to wipe the corner of Nan Huan's mouth, then changed the subject and returned to the business.
Nan Huan's mind was a little fuzzy, but after her disturbance, he became a little more sober. When he turned around and saw the pattern on the lamppost, his eyes paused.
"If I remember correctly, this is the pattern embroidered on the imperial teacher's robes. When I was not fully conscious just now, I saw some images..."
After all, she noticed the pattern on the national teacher's clothes when she first saw it in the role-playing game, so the possibility of making a mistake was very small.
Then Nan Huan briefly explained to Bei Xi what he had seen while he was in a state of blurred consciousness.
The sky was gradually getting brighter, but the two of them didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Instead, the red line that was pinched by Bei Xi was struggling desperately, looking extremely anxious.
"It seems that this copy itself is a trap."
After summarizing the information provided by Nanhuan, Beixi came to a conclusion.
"There are more than a few strange things about this instance," Nan Huan understood Bei Xi's meaning, "but now is not the time to analyze this. The other party has the ability to control the flow of this instance and has set up a special direct line mission for me. Even though we know this is a trap, we have to light the sky lantern."
Nan Huan looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost dawn, and until now, we haven't seen the real Hull."
Perhaps she saw the hesitation on Bei Xi's face, so she gently held the other's hand.
"Don't forget, we still have a trump card."
Bei Xi knew that Nan Huan was right. Even though they knew it was a trap, they had to jump with their eyes open due to the limitations of the system task.
After a while, Bei Xi finally let go of the hand that was holding the red thread.
Hong Xian didn't expect that a player could be so strong. When he thought all his plans were about to fail, the other party suddenly let go.
Although it didn't quite understand, it still took advantage of the other party's relaxed moment, grabbed Nan Huan's wrist, and pulled it to the wick.
The red line tightened, and another drop of blood was drawn from Nan Huan's wrist.
For Nan Huan, who had not yet recovered from the pain, this little pain was nothing. Moreover, the red line was quite sensible. It only squeezed out a drop, and when it saw the bright red blood pouring on the wick, it was quickly pulled back from Nan Huan's wrist.
The blood was absorbed along the wick, and the sky lantern, which had originally gradually turned into an ordinary red, turned completely red. A golden light rose from the center of the wick, which was extremely dazzling.
The crisscrossing red lines and fiery red flowers were gradually replaced by golden light.
When the sky lanterns were fully lit, the clouds on the lamp posts turned into gray mist, covering Beixi, Nanhuan and the sky lanterns together.
Lingyue jumped up with the others and only captured this scene.
Nineteen saw the eldest lady and the president being suddenly enveloped in gray fog and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Lingyue.
"You can't get in..."
She frowned, took out a small gadget from the warehouse and threw it over.
It turned out that the fog clearly did not seem to have any killing power, but it was actually crushed into powder and was thrown out by the wind caused by the rotation.
"They are fine for now. We need to be alert around them and let them all come over."
Maybe it seemed that Nineteen was a little worried, Lingyue added.
Generally speaking, Lingyue would not have any opinion on Nineteen's arrangements and behavior.
But Nineteen also knew that once the other party spoke, there must be some unspeakable reason. She conveyed the other party's order on the communication channel in almost no time.
Just as the members of the guild stood still and stared at the swirling gray fog with eager eyes, a loud noise was suddenly heard.
Under the sky lantern that was wrapped so that its specific shape could not be seen, the coffin standing at the top of the mass grave suddenly developed a crack for no apparent reason, and then collapsed without any warning.
At the same time, the same shattering sound was heard at the bottom of the mass grave.
The moment the sky lanterns lit up, the stacked coffins suddenly became as brittle as tofu and fell apart when the wind blew.
Fortunately, the people from the guild, following Lingyue's reminder, found a piece of open space and used flying props. Apart from the collapse of a few coffins on the top, which brought some dust, there was no substantial damage.
But it was different for the people from Miaojiang. They had set out later than the people from Guild One, and many of them had not fully recovered. When the coffin collapsed, they could only dodge left and right in a panic.
【bite--
Congratulations to Miss Player for completing the special single-player side quest of tying the red string and lighting the sky lantern before dawn.
Mission Reward: All other life forms' connections with the player's daughter have been terminated. 】
Nan Huan and Bei Xi were wrapped in thick gray fog. Although they heard the noise outside, they didn't know what happened for a moment. Because of their current condition, they could not react further.
However, Nan Huan still laughed out of anger when he heard the reward for this mission.
"Even if it's a trap, the reward for this mission is too inconsiderate, isn't it? Besides, shouldn't the reward for my single-player mission belong to me?"
She nestled in Bei Xi's arms and could feel the familiar feeling of all her internal organs being burned. It was so uncomfortable that she had to use talking to divert her attention.
Bei Xi had sensed that something was wrong with Nan Huan from just now, and had already fed him several bottles of medicine, but to no avail.
I had to gently stroke her back to help relieve her pain.
"If you hadn't pulled everyone into your special single-player side mission just now, I'm afraid many people would have died in their coffins long ago."
Bei Xi also seemed dissatisfied with the reward for this mission, but she was looking at it from another perspective. "Now that the special mission is completed, that person will not let us go easily. In order not to involve other people, we have terminated this connection. In a way, it can be regarded as a reward."
Bei Xi saw clearly that if this copy was a conspiracy from beginning to end, from the previous system invasion, the situation in which she and Nan Huan were targeted, and what Nan Huan just saw in Ghost King Ridge, it can be shown that the person behind the scenes had been targeting them from beginning to end.
At the beginning, the people behind the scenes wanted to get rid of the other annoying people first so that they could deal with the two of them.
Therefore, the difficulty of this copy has been increasing.
But because of Nan Huan's existence, the other party never got what they wanted. In the final special side quest, Nan Huan even tied everyone together.
I don’t know if it was because the sky lanterns were lit, or because of Nanhuan’s almost stupid idea that made the people behind the scenes feel a little interesting.
So when she was about to kill herself and Nan Huan, she mercifully severed everyone's ties with Nan Huan. From the other party's perspective, this could certainly be considered a reward.
However, Bei Xi did not have any good expectations for what was going to happen next, but at the moment, she could no longer care about so much.
"What trap? Is there something wrong with this reward?"
The conversation between the two was captured by Ah She on the other end of the communication channel. She was originally worried about their safety, but when she heard the content of their conversation, she suddenly raised her voice.
Nineteen was worried that these words might not be heard by others, so he quickly explained and reminded them, "President, Miss, I've opened the communication channel for easy communication. Are you all right? This gray fog is lethal, we can't get close for the time being, and..."
Nineteen glanced at the black coffin tumbling below and said, "It looks like this place is going to collapse..."
Nan Huan did not notice that the channel was opened because of the pain in his body, but Bei Xi noticed it from the beginning, and there was nothing to keep secret about what she said.
"We are fine for now, but there may be major changes later, so please be careful..."
Bei Xi did not explain in detail what he had said before, he just gave a piece of advice.
Then, as if to confirm what Bei Xi said, many wisps of black shadows emerged from the collapsed coffins. They rushed down and headed towards the bottomless depths.
At the same time, the entire mass grave was reverberating with unisoned, extremely oppressive voices.
[Thousands of people died, tens of thousands of people perished, their bodies returned, their souls returned.]
[Thousands of people died, tens of thousands of people perished, their bodies returned, their souls returned.]
…
This deep and powerful sound has great penetrating power, and seems to come from a very far distance, but if you listen carefully, it seems to come from underneath the mass grave.
The big tree hanging in the air has disappeared because of the collapsed coffin.
The specks of red light also disappeared as the coffin shattered.
The foggy sky above prevented any light from coming in, and the mass grave had returned to its pitch-black appearance. Only the sky lanterns wrapped in the gray fog were still emitting golden light.
The sounds became louder and louder, the vibrations became stronger and stronger, and finally, from the pitch-black bottom where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face, a ray of golden light burst out, piercing through the darkness.
As these words were sung, Bei Xi noticed that the sky lantern began to vibrate uncontrollably, and Nan Huan in his arms suddenly curled up in pain.
At the same time, Bei Xi noticed that there was suddenly something more in the gray fog.
These were the phantoms of the princesses that Nan Huan had just mentioned. Or perhaps they had always been there, but due to some circumstances they were unable to appear and be seen by Bei Xi. But now they were gradually appearing.
Dense crowds of people surrounded the two of them.
Bei Xi had no idea how many phantoms there were. Only at this moment did she understand that the gray fog left by the National Master was not only intended to trap herself and Nan Huan, but also all the phantoms.
At this moment, the sky lantern was shaking violently, and those virtual images seemed to be attracted and approached the sky lantern regardless of everything. The closer they got, the more uncomfortable Nan Huan felt.
Bei Xi still didn't quite understand what that line of lyrics meant, but it didn't sound like a good thing.
Without a second thought, she turned over, hugged Nan Huan, stood in front of the sky lantern, and used air arrows to drive away the phantom of the princess in front of her.
Those shadows didn't seem to have any consciousness. It was more like they were programmed to get close to the sky lantern at all costs.
After being dispersed by Bei Xi, they quickly gathered together again and continued to move closer to their target.
The singing continued, and it was getting more and more fierce.
The players dodged the black shadows coming out of the coffin, making sure they didn't fall.
Until the black shadows became fewer and fewer, the light at the bottom of the mass grave became more and more obvious, and the frequency of vibration became faster and faster, the system that had been silent for a long time finally made a sound.
【bite--
Congratulations to the player for unlocking the main quest - Sealing the Door.
The sky lanterns are lit and the gates of heaven are open.
All players are welcome to unlock the final map of the Stabbed Journey - Tianmen Pass. 】
The player, who had not yet had time to rejoice over having just survived the special mission and having untied his relationship with the young lady, suddenly felt overwhelmed.
This copy really doesn't give players any chance to survive or rest.
And it seems that the main mission this time also hits the point.
The shaking and collapse of the mass grave finally reached a critical point in the lyrics. After all the players struggled to maintain their balance, they looked up at the sky which had not changed much, and then looked down at the abyss that suddenly appeared under their feet.
I don’t quite understand whether Tianmen Pass refers to the black hole under your feet.
Only Miao Jiang and Wawa looked very ugly when they heard the main mission and the final map, as if they did not expect this situation.
[Task Description: Tianmen Pass is also known as the "Gate of Ghosts", and is an important place connecting Yin and Yang.
Thousands of years ago, evil spirits were rampant, yin and yang were reversed, and people lived in misery.
Therefore, Tianmen Pass appeared.
Suppress evil spirits, separate yin and yang, enclose a piece of land and live in peace.
The seal eventually loosened and was repaired in time, but it could only be maintained temporarily.
Today the lights are on and the seal is lifted.
The gates of heaven open, all the ghosts are slaughtered, and the world is ravaged.
Fortunately, someone had left a sealed door at Ghost King Ridge.
Please complete the main quest "Sealing the Gate" before daybreak and successfully leave Fengmen Ridge.
Tip: If the door is sealed, no matter the rest area or other unrelated game copies, they will be instantly occupied by evil spirits, and the entire game will directly enter the first stage of deterioration. 】
The air seemed to suddenly become quiet. I don't know if it was because the amount of information described in this task was really too much, or if it was just the silence before something was about to break out.
In short, the entire mass grave was filled with tranquility, except for Bei Xi who was playing hide-and-seek with the princess's shadow in the gray fog.
The remaining players seemed unable to understand what they had just heard for a moment.
In the past mission descriptions, in addition to the background introduction, there would always be some information points for players, such as how to seal the door. At the very least, it would reveal who the person in question is and leave some clues for them to search for.
But this time, apart from some background introduction, there were only some threatening words that highlighted how important this mission was.
Why is a copy like this connected with the rest area and other copies?
Isn't it said that the copies are all fictitious? Where did the evil ghost come from?
How can I break through the limitations of the current copy and travel through all copies and rest areas?
Is it the system's nonsense, or is it true?
What does exacerbation phase 1 mean? Why have I never heard of this before?
Is it because of the difficulty of this copy that it has been upgraded to the 2S level?
Everyone was confused. Except for Bei Xi and Nan Huan, all the people in the guild gathered together, but they all saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Finally, they all turned their eyes to the president and the eldest lady who were trapped in the gray fog.
"President, Miss, have you heard the main storyline?"
A She spoke tentatively. After all, through the channel, he could hear that the president seemed to be quite busy in the gray fog.
But before she could finish her words, she heard a long roar towards the sky coming from the abyss below.
Then Alice, who had the best eyesight among them, saw something crawling out of the black hole, and it moved very quickly, climbing up along the collapsed coffin.
"Something is coming up very fast." She squinted her eyes, trying to figure out what it was. She was surprised to find that there were more than one. There were many. Prepare for battle."
Miao Jiang, who was closer to the bottom, saw the evil ghosts emitting black air crawling out without much effort.
They had no faces, only a blurry silhouette, but they were very good at climbing and biting. The last two players in their team disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Leave here and go to the entrance of the village to look for clues."
Bei Xi's voice was heard from the other end of the channel. Although she couldn't see what was happening outside, she seemed to have guessed what had happened from the sounds coming from outside.
Although the mission description was vague, the main task was clearly stated, which reminded Bei Xi of the strange red bricks and white walls they had discovered at the entrance of the village before they entered it. Perhaps there might be some clues there.
"If there's any news, the channel says, stay safe."
Bei Xi spoke very quickly, and the sound of the wind caused by her rapid movement made it easy for everyone on this channel to hear that the president and the eldest lady were not in a good condition in the gray fog.
Nineteen and Lingyue were a little hesitant, not knowing whether to leave one person behind to provide support. After all, the situation here was not clear.
As they were talking, the black shadows had already moved along the coffin to the top.
Ah She hugged Ah Kong and pounced to avoid the attack of the black shadow, but before he could stand up, the opponent had caught up with him. Fortunately, the Mad Hatter acted in time and shot down the black shadow.
But after repelling one, a second and a third came up. Looking down, he saw that these shadows were endless, densely packed and crawling out of the cave.
Lingyue was also targeted by a black shadow. She deliberately avoided the shadow while leading it into the gray fog. However, she found that those things seemed to be afraid of the gray fog and did not dare to approach.
"President Alice, do you still remember the location of the village entrance? Can your skills get us there directly?"
Lingyue got the answer she wanted and explained her thoughts in the communication channel, "Chairman Yi and Miss are safe for now. Those shadows will not get close to the gray fog. We need to split into two groups and find a way to seal the door first."
"President, Miss, please find a way out as soon as possible. President Alice can come to you directly when the time comes."
After fighting for a while, everyone understood one thing, that is, this group of evil spirits had no minds, but were like robots that obeyed orders and only knew how to fight, and their numbers were constantly increasing.
If they keep fighting like this, they will all die.
Therefore, it is best to split our forces into two groups now. Lingyue's suggestion was recognized by everyone.
The Mad Hatter used an explosive prop to shoot down the dark shadows that had temporarily gathered around him. Everyone seized the opportunity and stood together. Alice also seized the opportunity and waved her hand, and everyone stepped into the rabbit hole.
Miaojiang and the doll who came rushing over happened to see this scene.
"President, Nineteen and the others have escaped, and President One and the eldest lady are still in the gray fog. What should we do?"
The doll had already used up a lot of energy, and only after kicking a dark shadow away did it find a chance to speak.
Miao Jiang had just caught a glimpse of Lingyue's actions and confirmed that the black shadow would not attack the gray fog. At the same time, he also understood that the people of a guild would not abandon a president and a young lady so easily. In other words, not only could the black shadow not get close to the gray fog, but even they could not enter.
"We can't enter the gray fog, so let's follow Nineteen and the others and leave to the village entrance."
Miao Jiang didn't eavesdrop on Nineteen's channel, but the prompts given by the system were pitifully few. In addition, she and Doll knew the meaning of "sealed door" from the beginning, so there were not many places they could go.
They did not have the teleportation skill like President Alice, so they could only barely find a flying item in the mall, and the two of them flew out of the mass grave.
Beixi and Nanhuan, who were shrouded in gray fog, were not in good condition. Although Beixi's physical strength was still there, she was holding Nanhuan in her arms, and there were too many phantoms of the princess, so she could not completely block the phantoms from approaching.
In particular, she discovered that the shadows of those princesses sank directly into the sky lantern. The red color that was originally poured out by the lantern had a tendency to gradually turn black, and Nan Huan's body became more painful because of the addition of a shadow that sank into the sky lantern.
She had tried various weapons and props, but found that they were useless against the gray fog.
And those space and restraint props had no effect on the princess's shadow, and they were focused on getting into the sky lantern.
Nan Huan was already sweating profusely. She could feel the princess' illusory figure disappearing into the sky lantern. Her own deep thoughts seemed to be emptied a little.
This reminded her of the lyrics from before, [Thousands died, tens of thousands perished, bodies arrived, wandering souls returned.]
"Something is wrong..."
Her voice was very soft, and she was not sure whether Bei Xi could hear it, so she had to pinch the other person's hand.
"The tour guide said before that mass graves often appear in places where many people have died..." She took a breath, "I always thought that it was the special nature of this place that caused this situation, but now it seems that someone may have deliberately used mass graves to collect the dead..."
Bei Xi stroked Nan Huan's back with one hand to help her breathe more smoothly and speak more fluently. At the same time, he paid attention to those illusory shadows that were eyeing her hungrily, and instantly understood what Nan Huan meant.
"So she believed this and collected deaths all over the world, waiting for you to show up, deliver her body, and light the sky lantern?"
Bei Xi's tone was filled with suppressed anger. She could not forgive anyone who wanted to take Nan Huan's life, especially when the other party was deliberately plotting this.
"She must have been misled by the National Master, but it is clear that the National Master also believed this statement very much, which is why he used the gray fog to wrap the two of us and gathered these wandering souls here. The National Master must have someone he wants to meet, but the price may be to take everyone's life."
Nan Huan knew what Bei Xi was thinking, and rubbed her chest soothingly. "This sky lantern has traces of the national master. After so many years, it can still enter the game and find us in this way. I think He Er may have been tricked by her."
The main quest has been activated, but there is still no sign of Hull's whereabouts. Nan Huan already has a rough guess in his mind.
Beixi calmed down a little after being comforted by Nanhuan, but she was obviously not happy with Nanhuan's good words to Heer.
"Don't make excuses for her. It's so stupid. If it weren't for her, there wouldn't be so much trouble."
Nan Huan felt helpless and simply changed the subject, "Do you still remember what the system said when it released the main quest just now?"
"Well, remember, what I said in the first half basically matches what you just saw in your mind."
Bei Xi wiped the sweat from her forehead. "I just don't know how the Tianmen Pass suddenly appeared in the beginning. It may be related to the voice you heard in your consciousness. The loosening of the seal should mean that the national teacher used some means to make the princess sacrifice herself. Fortunately, the princess bought time and filled the seal with herself."
"Although there is no evidence for what happened later, I can roughly guess that the national teacher was still unwilling to give up and created the sky lantern to lure that idiot, waiting for us to take the bait today."
