Chapter 160 Boundary
Chapter 160 Boundary
"The only place the ghosts could appear is the 'border,' but how could there be such chaos inside the 'border?' Those ghosts can't stay for long, and there's no way monsters would appear there. But these three people before me are real ghosts. There's no reason to lie. Which means...something unusual must have happened there." Walnut murmured softly, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, her bright eyes filled with confusion and thought.
At this time, Yidou also finished the battle and swaggered back to the crowd, mace in hand. "Hahaha, those monsters may look fierce, but they are no match for me. Where are we going next?" Yidou said with a smug look on his face, as if the previous battle was just a trivial incident.
"Everyone, I'm going to a place that is the boundary between life and death, and it has been managed by our Wangsheng Hall for generations. Once we get there, we may be able to find the secret of all this, but it may be very dangerous there, you..." Walnut's voice was solemn and hesitant, and her eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces.
"We are friends!" Xin Yang said without hesitation, "No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, we will face it together."
Linghua nodded slightly, her eyes firm: "That's right, friends should support each other and face difficulties together."
Chongyun also took a step forward: "I will not back down either. Since it is possible to find the truth of the matter, I must go and find out."
Yidou carried the mace and grinned: "Haha, with me here, there is nothing to be afraid of." Yidou patted his chest hard.
Hu Tao looked at everyone, a warm feeling welling up in her heart: "Okay, then we'll go together. But before we go, you have to promise me one thing. After all, that place has been managed by our Wangsheng Hall for generations. Don't shout or make any noise when you go there, otherwise I can only help you erase your memory." Hu Tao's tone was serious, and there was a hint of majesty in her eyes.
After everyone agreed, they began to check their equipment and belongings, ensuring they would have enough to cope with the unknown dangers. Everyone looked focused, carefully checking their weapons, props, and bags.
After completing their preparations, Walnut led the group toward the "borderline between life and death." The atmosphere along the way was tense and solemn, as everyone silently pondered the challenges they faced. The road beneath them was bumpy and uneven, and the surrounding scenery gradually became unfamiliar and mysterious.
After walking for a long time, they arrived at a mysterious place. A thin layer of mist permeated the air, blurring the surrounding scenery, as if hiding countless secrets. The mist drifted slowly in the breeze, creating a dreamlike feeling.
Walnut stopped and said seriously, "This is very close to the 'border', everyone must be extremely careful." Walnut's voice echoed in the silent air, making people feel nervous.
Everyone walked forward cautiously. They could sense an unusual and eerie atmosphere around them. Suddenly, a chilling wind blew past, sending shivers down their spines. The wind whistled in their ears, like the whispers of ghosts.
"This place is indeed unusual." Xinyang observed his surroundings vigilantly, holding the West Wind Sword tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.
Ayato gripped the sword tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.
Chongyun felt the fluctuations of the elements around him, frowning: "The degree of elemental chaos here is far beyond my imagination." Chongyun's face was solemn. He could feel the elemental power around him surging, as if it could explode at any time.
Yidou waved his mace and shouted, "No matter how dangerous it is, I will beat anyone who comes." Yidou's heroic spirit stood out in this weird environment.
Hu Tao slapped Dou with her backhand and said, "Keep your voice down. It wasn't like this when I came here last time. You'd better be careful." There was a hint of blame and worry in Hu Tao's tone.
Just then, they heard a low roar coming from afar. Everyone's heart suddenly rose, and a tense atmosphere instantly filled the air. Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes fixed on the direction of the roar.
The roaring sound grew closer and closer, as if a ferocious beast were approaching. Everyone's heart suddenly rose, and a tense atmosphere instantly filled the air. Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes fixed on the direction of the roaring sound.
Walnut's expression became more and more solemn. She looked at the mysterious place shrouded in fog, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.
In Walnut's memory, this boundary between life and death was once a place of tranquility and solemnity. Managed by the Wangsheng Hall for generations, it was supposed to be a transitory place for the departed souls, a place of order and order, with no room for disorder.
Yet, now, a strange aura permeates the place, elements are in chaos, and danger lurks on every side. Walnut knows that these changes are no accident; some powerful force must be at work.
As the head of the Wangsheng Hall, Hu Tao has the responsibility to maintain order here, find the root cause of all this chaos, and restore peace on the border.
Soon, a large number of hideous monsters emerged from the fog.
Seeing this, Yidou immediately brandished his mace and shouted, "Haha, just in time! Look how I'll beat you to a pulp!"
However, Hu Tao's face tightened and he hurriedly shouted, "Yidou, don't be impulsive! The appearance of these monsters is really strange, there must be something wrong." Hu Tao stared at the group of monsters that were approaching, and quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.
But before he could finish his words, Yidou had already rushed into the group of monsters.
The others were about to step forward to help, but were stopped by Xinyang. "Remember that roar just now? There's definitely a large creature behind these monsters. Chongyun, let's go and help fight them first. The rest of you, stay alert and be ready to respond to any danger." Xinyang's face was stern, his eyes revealing courage and determination.
Chongyun nodded slightly, and immediately rushed towards the group of monsters with Xinyang. They brandished their weapons, and together with Yidou, they fought against the monsters that surged like a tide. Although Yidou was brave, he gradually became exhausted under the siege of so many monsters. Fortunately, with the help of Chongyun and Xinyang, the situation turned around in an instant.
It is worth mentioning that ordinary monsters would not be afraid of the Pure Yang Body, but all of those monsters are avoiding Chongyun.
Several people watching the fight also noticed this.
"Those monsters fear Chongyun's pure yang body, which means their changes are most likely caused by some evil spirit." Hu Tao narrowed her eyes slightly and analyzed solemnly. Linghua nodded in agreement, "It seems that the power of this evil spirit should not be underestimated. We must be more cautious in dealing with it."
Walnut frowned, lost in thought. "If this is truly the work of an evil spirit, then where does this power come from? And why is it causing such trouble here?"
As he was thinking, another roar was heard, and at the same time a huge figure appeared in front of the three people.
The colossal figure stood tens of meters tall, like a moving mountain, emanating a suffocating aura of darkness. Its body was thick and twisted, covered in a layer of scales as hard as iron, which gleamed eerily in the dim light. Atop its massive head, two blood-red eyes blazed like blazing fireballs, filled with endless brutality and madness.
Yidou widened his eyes, and the smugness on his face was instantly replaced by astonishment. He exclaimed, "What kind of monster is this!" His voice trembled unconsciously.
Xin Yang also gasped, gripping the West Wind Sword tightly, his eyes revealing an unprecedented solemnity. He whispered, "Everyone, be careful. This monster may not be something we can easily deal with."
The three people who were watching the battle also joined the battle at this moment.
The monster just waved its claws lightly, causing a gust of wind that blew away the surrounding fog.
Even the carefree Yidou didn't dare to act on his own at this time.
The monster took a light step and appeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
"So fast!" Xinyang exclaimed, and the next second he immediately drove the wind element to form a wind barrier around everyone.
