"follow me."
Hearing the dog barking, Tianyang immediately made a decision. He gestured to Xiaoniao and Yanbing to follow, and the three of them ran back and retreated into the cave leading to the underground hall.
The passage in the cave was winding, with strange rocks everywhere, and there were countless natural shelters for the three people to hide.
As soon as they hid, they saw a familiar red light faintly lit up in the darkness in the distance. The red light was not particularly bright, but dim, giving people a chaotic feeling.
Like a thick pool of plasma, the light vaguely revealed a certain malice.
Tianyang activated several functions of the tactical eye, and the picture was quickly zoomed in. He suddenly saw a mysterious and sneaky figure walking in the blood-red light.
A heavy cloak covered his head and face, and the dark grey fabric was decorated with various bone carvings and metal pieces. He held a dark red wooden staff in his hand. On the top of the staff were three terrifying faces carved with different expressions.
Although the image was different, Tianyang was sure that it was a wizard!
Different from the wizard he encountered before, this wizard did not have an inverted triangle pendant on his body. But the indescribable gloom and mystery were exactly the same.
Behind the wizard were several mad dogs. They turned their heads from time to time and howled in low voices that sounded like pleading. These monsters, which seemed to be a combination of a man and a dog, looked timid and no one knew what they were afraid of.
Soon Tianyang found out that from the red light behind the mad dog, a large group of tentacle-like roots emerged. They easily caught a mad dog and dragged it into the light.
The mad dog was digging at the ground with its limbs, trying to struggle. The wizard in front stopped, turned around, and gently raised the facing stick.
In the empty eye sockets of one of the faces, black fire appeared. The color of the fire was so deep that it flickered with thin, bright purple light.
They make the flames dreamy, as if the starry sky of a summer night was put into the flames.
The mad dog suddenly gave up struggling and was dragged into the dazzling blood-red light. A moment later, a fat plant root as big as a giant python swam out.
Countless roots and twigs were flying on both sides of it, and those things were like insect limbs, and when they scraped the ground, they allowed the rhizome to move freely.
In a blink of an eye, the wizard had arrived in front of the strange pregnant woman. Behind it, the last mad dog was spit out by the big mouth of the root.
The rhizome squirmed as if it was digesting the mad dog inside, and the calluses on its surface lit up like huge red light bulbs.
When the light grew dim, the wizard raised his facing staff, and whispers filled with blasphemy and evil rang and echoed in the deserted, cold hall.
It was as if the devil was whispering at the exit of hell. The dense, illusory, and extremely evil voices were continuous.
As if guided by an invisible force, the root swam towards the pregnant woman's foreign body, raised its upper end, and coiled around the thigh-shaped part of the foreign body.
When it reached the bulging belly of the foreign object, the front end split open, the epidermis opened like petals, and flying roots emerged from inside.
With a series of light sounds, the roots penetrated into the belly-like thing. Finally, the cracked skin closed up and bit tightly on the "belly" of the foreign object.
After this "umbilical cord"-like root combined with the foreign object, the "belly" of the pregnant woman's foreign object actually expanded slowly and then contracted slightly.
As the stomach expands, the plants entangled in it will be stretched open, revealing patches of tissue filled with nerves and blood vessels.
No matter how you look at it, that thing doesn't look like something a plant should have.
More like some kind of creature.
Tianyang and the other two looked unhappy at the moment. Why would the dark people arrange these strange plants underground? The wizard even used mad dogs as bait to lure a root to come here and connect with the pregnant woman-like thing.
What are these things planning to do underground
Tianyang even had a hunch that the battlefield of this joint operation might not be in the small town on the ground!
After the fat rhizome connected with the pregnant woman's foreign body, the wizard seemed to have finished his work. It stopped emitting those eerie whispers and turned around.
But he didn't leave, he just stood there motionless.
"Will it stay here?" the bird asked softly.
Tianyang shook his head. The behavior of these creatures from the opposite world could not be measured by common sense. The more times he dealt with them, the more certain he became.
Suddenly, the wizard raised his facing staff.
A strong sense of danger surged into Tianyang's heart. He was completely shocked and shouted, "Oh no, it found us!"
The human-faced stick taps the ground.
The wizard's figure suddenly spun and shrank, and then disappeared from the spot like a phantom.
Almost at the same time, the evil figure appeared among Tianyang and the other two!
clang—
The Red Moon Sword was unsheathed, and Tianyang didn't even have time to infuse it with star energy before he slashed at the wizard's shoulder.
The wizard raised his facing stick, and without any warning, everyone heard a sharp sound almost at the same time.
Wow!
It sounded like a baby crying or a woman screaming! The indescribable sharp sound pierced the ears of the three people like an awl.
Even though Yan Bing was wearing a fully enclosed helmet, he was unable to block the invasion of this sound.
Tianyang felt like he was hit on the head with a hammer. Things in his vision appeared double, and the colors became increasingly intense and bright. The severe dizziness prevented him from cutting with his knife any further.
The wizard turned around again and pointed the staff at the sun. Black flames flickering with starlight spurted out of the eye sockets of the three human faces on the staff at the same time.
Tianyang subconsciously raised his hand to block it, but did not feel any burning. What was going on
"Tianyang, I hope you can quit Night Walker."
A familiar voice sounded in front of his arm. The boy trembled all over and slowly lowered his arm in disbelief.
Then he saw his mother, Nan Fei, standing at the window of the shed, looking at the canal with flowing water outside the window.
Tianyang looked around and found himself back in the shack in the lower city. His brain was unable to process this information for a moment and his mind went blank.
"Tianyang, did you hear what I said?" At the window, Nan Fei turned around with her brows slightly frowned.
Tianyang shook his head: "Impossible, this is impossible."
"What's impossible? What are you talking about?" Nan Fei walked over and raised her hand to gently touch the boy's forehead. "You don't have a fever, do you?"
Tianyang could feel the warmth of her palms, the softness of her palms, and the love that he thought he would never have again.
The boy yelled and swept her hand away. Nan Fei's panicked expression was reflected in his red eyes.
"What's wrong with you? Tianyang, why are you crying?"
Nanfei came over...
"do not come!"
Tian Yang yelled, "I don't know how you did it, but my mother is dead! You bastard, let me go back right now!"
“I know that all this
None of it is true! It’s not true! "
Nan Fei looked worried: "Tianyang, what are you talking about? Am I not alive and well here? Are you sick?"
Tian Yang raised his sword, pointed at Nan Fei and said, "You are not real. I remember clearly that I put your ashes into the cemetery with my own hands!"
"This is all an illusion..."
Snapped!
Nan Fei slapped the boy on the face: "Tian Yang, how can you say that! What do you mean I'm dead? What do you mean ashes? I'm your mother, I'm Nan Fei! What's wrong with you!"
Tianyang felt a burning pain on his face, and covered his face, staring at the woman in front of him in a daze.
Tears flowed out like pearls from a broken string, Nan Fei stretched out her hand, wanting to cover the boy's face, but she was afraid of being rejected, so she stopped mid-air.
With tears in her eyes, she said sadly, "Child, what happened to you? Did you encounter anything in the adverse world?"
"I... "
Tianyang was a little confused. Was this not an illusion? Or was his previous experience just a dream
If that was a dream... it wasn't bad.
At least, she's still alive.
At this moment, Tianyang suddenly felt his arms were cold, as if he had buried his hands in a pile of snow. Then a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Tianyang, Tianyang, wake up!"
Tianyang shuddered, as if waking up from a deep dream. The scene before him changed again, the shed and his mother disappeared, and he was back in the dark and cold underground.
On the other side, the wizard was constantly dodging, avoiding the beams of light shot at him by the fire soldiers.
Next to him, Xiao Niao's rapier was against his hand, and the cold air emanating from the sword almost froze his blood.
Seeing Tianyang's eyes regain their spirit, Xiaoniao heaved a sigh of relief and quickly took away the rapier: "You were hypnotized just now. That wizard seems to have the ability to make people dream. Fortunately, this ability can only affect one person."
"So, was that just a dream?"
Tianyang wiped his face, and felt the wetness on his fingertips. He suddenly felt grateful to the wizard, at least, it allowed him to see his mother again in his dream.
Nan Fei in the dream still cared for him as much as ever...
With a cry of surprise, Yan Bing was thrown by an invisible force and fell to the rough ground of the hall. He rolled twice and his rifle fell out.
He quickly crawled over to retrieve the rifle, but his eyes blurred and the wizard appeared in front of him with flames spurting out of the human-faced staff.
This flame was obviously different from the previous one. It was a pale green color with pieces of gray light flying in it, like pieces of mold.
The gray-green flames rose up and wrapped around the human-faced staff, smashing down on the Flame Soldier's helmet.
A sword with a glowing crimson edge was inserted between the two in time, striking the human-faced staff and swinging the staff and the ball of green fire to the side.
Tianyang stretched out his hand and pulled Yanbing up, pointed his sword at the wizard, and shouted: "Little bird, let's entangle it and don't give it a chance to teleport."
In response, a thin sword slashed down from behind the wizard. The blade was freezing cold, and before the blade even touched the wizard, frost had already begun to form on the dark grey fabric on his body.
Tianyang also flashed forward and slashed, making it difficult for the wizard to escape.
The wizard had no choice but to wave the face-covering staff, from which a streak of green fire would occasionally spurt out, in order to resist the joint attack of Tianyang and the other man.
After forcing Tianyang away once, the flame on the wizard's staff turned from green to black. Tianyang was startled and shouted, "Be careful, don't let it hypnotize you!"
