ninety thousand miles

Chapter 454 Figure
"Master Wen? Senior Sister Yao?" Li Chuan called out twice tentatively.

Neither Wen Guying nor Yao Shuang heard his voice.

He stretched out his hand, and then he saw that his hand seemed to pass through a shadow. He suddenly realized that although he had clearly stopped, Yao Shuang and Wen Guying were still moving forward, and the person between them was also moving forward.

In his sight, Yao Shuang walking in front of him and Wen Guying walking behind him, are they projections or illusions?

Yao Shuang said: "We can use magic to cover up what's happening here."

Wen Guying said: "Magic cannot do everything. This nunnery is always visited by people who burn incense and pray for blessings and ask for medicine."

Yao Shuang said: "Perhaps the person who dug this secret passage is not an ordinary person."

Li Chuan listened to their conversation while looking around. With the light from the rune, he saw the wrinkles on the pipe and some fluffy things. Could it be that he really walked into the body of some creature? He looked forward again.

There... seems to be someone standing there?

Is it a hunter?

I was standing too far away and could only make out a silhouette.

He took the butterfly spirit in his hand, and the pale golden light illuminated the surroundings. Although he couldn't control it yet, it was still quite useful as a light.

He concentrated slightly, and the "pipeline" began to disintegrate in his field of vision. Then he saw the secret passage he had originally entered, and saw Yao Shuang and Wen Guying in front of him. They had already walked very far... He seemed to see Wen Guying turn his head and glance at him.

You should stop to review the past.

Yao Shuang turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I accidentally lost Brother Li." He gripped the hilt of the sword and slowly pulled out a section of the sword. A red light flowed in the cracks.

Li Chuan felt that the scene around him became chaotic, and then he felt something appear behind him. He turned around and saw the cracks on the sword first. His eyes hurt and he exited the state. Then he saw Wen Guying and Yao Shuang standing in front of him.

Li Chuan looked at them warily until Wen Guying said, "Brother Li, you found the real way and walked here by yourself without calling us."

The one with such a bad mouth must be Taoist Master Wen.

Li Chuan said: "I called you, but you were still discussing how to dig out the secret passage."

"Now I know the answer." Wen Guying said.

"What is it?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying said, "The secret passage was only dug for a short section, about three or four meters. Senior Sister Yao and I walked back and forth in circles on that short section of the road."

"Didn't you notice?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying said, "If you hadn't disappeared, it would have taken a while to find it. The illusion is not difficult to break, but the runes projected in the secret passage are difficult, which affected the judgment of Senior Sister Yao and me."

"I tried to find the pattern of the runes. But maybe the reason they were projected in the secret passage was to attract the intruders' attention and make them fall into illusions." Yao Shuang said, "These broken and chaotic runes may have no meaning at all."

"Then why did I come here?" Li Chuan asked.

"I don't know." Wen Guying replied.

Li Chuan felt that the 'pipeline' was getting wetter and wetter. He said, "I seem to see a figure in front of me. Do you see it?"

Wen Guying and Yao Shuang looked forward at the same time.

"I didn't see anyone." Yao Shuang said.

At this time, the rune lit up again in the "pipeline", and Li Chuan saw that there seemed to be someone standing in front of him. Wen Guying said, "I don't have one either, let's go forward first."

"What if we get separated again?" Li Chuan asked, "Is there any way to prevent this?"

"I have already cast the Lantern Shadow Technique on you and Senior Sister Yao. If you are more than ten feet away from me, I will be able to sense it." Wen Guying said.

"That's good." Li Chuan said, and then asked: "Then the runes here have no meaning?"

"I don't know." Yao Shuang said, "The runes here are more complete than those in the previous secret passage. They are very similar to the runes I saw when I fell on the stone platform, but they are just similar, not exactly the same. I don't know if they have any meaning."

"Are all demon runes like this?" Li Chuan asked.

Yao Shuang said: "The demon runes I master can present a complete meaning."

"Let's go." Wen Guying said again.

"Okay." Yao Shuang turned around and continued walking forward.

Li Chuan felt a slight vibration coming from the soles of his feet. The air became more humid, and the runes on the "pipe" became denser and denser. He suddenly realized that those runes were formed by the condensation of water droplets.

No wonder it's so humid.

"Is the figure you mentioned over there?" Wen Guying asked.

"Which way?" Li Chuan asked as he turned to look at Wen Guying. The direction Wen Guying pointed at was indeed the location of the figure he saw.

Li Chuan said: "Yes, that's it. Did you see it too?"

"That's not a person." Wen Guying said, "It looks like a person, but he doesn't have human body temperature, breathing, or heartbeat."

"Is he dead?" Li Chuan asked.

"No, we don't know yet. What exactly it is? Let's get closer." Wen Guying said.

The three of them quickened their pace and walked towards the direction of the figure.

"Are we in the body of some monster?" Li Chuan couldn't help but ask.

"Maybe." This time it was Yao Shuang who answered him.

Yao Shuang said: "I have always felt that the buildings left by the demons are a bit strange. They don't look like they were carved by humans, nor do they look like they were carved by magic. They are good at controlling demons, so I guess these buildings were built by demon beasts."

"Could it be that the demons themselves are a kind of monster?" Li Chuan asked.

"According to records, demons look similar to humans, except they are a little more slender," Yao Shuang said.

"Could it be a disguise? They came here, which means they are not from this world. Then, they shouldn't look similar to us humans, right?" Li Chuan's thoughts diverged again.

"They may not have had a fixed appearance originally," Wen Guying said, "After they came here, they kept changing with the environment until they became the most suitable existence for activities here, and then they became fixed."

"He moved." Li Chuan saw the figure in front of him move. Then, ten vines flew towards them.

Yao Shuang, who was standing at the front, raised her hand and swung the black shovel in her hand a few times. The vines broke in midair and fell to the ground. Then, the figure was cut into several pieces and kept squirming after falling to the ground.

The rune lit up again, and the slight tremor under his feet became more intense.

Li Chuan saw that the pieces of vines melted into the runes, and disappeared without a trace after the runes dimmed.
