Ai Li grabbed the arm and immediately drew out the heavy battle blade that Xu Le had specially made for her, but just as she was about to chop off the arm, a voice interrupted her.
"Ai Li? Ai Li? What's wrong with you? Let's go, Gu Beichen and the others have gone to the front."
Ai Li took a deep breath, stared at Xu Le in front of him, slowly closed his eyes, and sniffed the scent on his body.
Compared to vision, her sense of smell is more sensitive.
"I had some problems just now." Ai Li opened his eyes and regained his composure.
"What's the problem?"
"The man in the mirror, and... I seem to have been missing for a while."
Ai Li briefly explained the situation to Xu Le. For a top-level warrior, this abnormal reaction was definitely not normal.
With the God of War protecting her, it is unlikely for her to have hallucinations or anything like that.
If the opponent's hallucination ability can easily invade her mind, then killing her will be a piece of cake.
"Missing for a while?"
This description surprised Xu Le a little. He really didn't understand what this so-called absence for a period of time was like.
And the lack of time can easily lead me astray, for example...
"Is there a possibility that your time is not lost, but a part of your memory is erased, or a part of your memory is missing?"
Compared with the loss of time, the loss of memory is more likely to occur.
"Lack of memory?"
"Yes, this situation has happened to many people, even ordinary people."
"Ordinary people have it? For example?"
"The kind where you black out from drinking."
Ai Li nodded, then looked at Gu Beichen and Wang Shu who were already standing in front.
"Okay, go ahead."
Xu Le was not anxious, but looked at Rei:
"Don't you need a break?"
"There are still passengers on the airship. We need to deal with the current incident as quickly as possible."
"The airship has plenty of energy. The only thing we need to worry about is that we are delayed too long and run out of food. It is inevitable that there will be problems in this place, so we should maintain our condition and solve it all at once."
After hearing Xu Le's words, Ai Li nodded and stopped urging him.
Instead, he transformed directly and lay prone on the ground.
Xu Le knew that she was checking her physical condition, so he just stroked the dog's fur gently and warned her of possible problems.
The dog let out a breath, slowly stood up, and cancelled his transformation.
"I checked it, and there's no problem."
"Very good, no problem, let's go.
Ordinary imitation, ritual-wildfire."
Following the old method, Xu Le used the imitated fire spell to illuminate the way ahead. With the help of the images reflected by the flames, he and Ai Li began to move forward.
In front of the two of them, Gu Beichen was complaining and expressing his dissatisfaction.
"You are being so affectionate in broad daylight. What kind of talk is that? Do you think I don't exist? It's obvious that you don't take me, Gu Beichen, seriously."
As he spoke, Gu Beichen glanced at Wang Shu and added:
"I didn't take you seriously. We agreed to be single together, but he found a woman. Xu Leye is despicable and shameless. Don't you think so, Xiaoshu?"
"I also have a woman." Wang Shu said suddenly.
Gu Beichen:?
"Why did you hide from me that you had another woman?"
"Is it normal for me to have a woman?"
"Okay, what's the story?"
"An ordinary Tianrui Lifeng mercenary."
"Does it look good?" Gu Beichen's face was full of curiosity.
"Well, it's OK, mainly because I'm young."
"brute."
Wang Shu:
Wang Shu did not deliberately wait for Xu Le and the others, because with Gu Beichen along, their speed was much slower than Xu Le and Ai Li.
So there is no need to wait.
"Light a fire. I can't see the direction ahead."
"Why are you rushing? Aren't those two still behind us?"
Although he expressed dissatisfaction, Gu Beichen did not stop his actions. He immediately released the Wildfire Spell.
Through the firelight, Wang Shu could also see the road ahead clearly.
But just as he was about to leave, he felt a sword energy flying out of nowhere.
Cool!
Wang Shu drew out his sword to block the sword energy. The power of ancient sound mixed with evil had already covered his weapon. When he was about to strike with the sword, Wang Shu suddenly heard a voice that reminded him of his dream.
"Xiaoshu, your skills have become more sophisticated."
There are only two people who call him Xiaoshu, one is Gu Beichen, and the other one is...
Wang Shu's will did not waver because of the appearance of the person in front of him, and the murderous aura on him became heavier and heavier.
As long as the opponent gets one step closer, he will strike with his sword.
"You're already dead, Captain."
Bai Jing's face twisted and she suddenly yelled at Wang Shu:
"Why were you so weak at that time? Why couldn't you die for me?"
Wang Shu was stunned. He had indeed thought about this question. For a long time, he even had self-doubt because of his weakness.
A fundamental question even arose in his mind.
The gap between warriors and sorcerers is so huge, and Gu Yinduo is so weird. What is the point of practicing the path of a warrior
To this day, Wang Shu still doesn’t have a clear answer.
"We have to move forward, Captain."
Clang! The blade flashed, facing Bai Jing's sword energy, Wang Shu himself was not polite, and swung his sword to meet it at the same time, looking like a life-and-death battle.
He did not stop wielding the weapon because of people or memories.
…
"Xiao Shu? Xiao Shu? Are you hysterical? Would you like some of the chewing gum that Zion brought over? It tastes good..."
"Brother Shu?" Xu Le also came to Wang Shu. While Gu Beichen was still running, Xu Le carefully patted Wang Shu's shoulder.
Wang Shu seemed to be suddenly awakened. He clenched the broken knife in his hand and looked at Xu Le.
"I have a problem." Wang Shu spoke first.
"It should be the same problem as mine." Ai Li echoed at this time.
Xu Le pondered for a while and decided to find out about Wang Shu's situation first.
"What did you see?"
"I saw the captain, struggling, twisted captain..."
Wang Shu briefly explained the situation to Xu Le, and then Xu Le looked for the same time.
Entering the ethereal state is something that can be done very easily.
Ai Li is a distorted version of himself, and Wang Shu is a distorted version of Bai Jing. The common point is distortion, and then the deepest bond, or concern, in their hearts.
So we can preliminarily infer that some kind of force must have influenced them, causing them to doubt the beauty in their hearts? And distorting those beautiful things in themselves
It is possible.
Xu Le looked at Gu Beichen at this time, and Gu Beichen immediately became unnatural:
"Why are you looking at me?"
"Have you never encountered a similar situation?"
Gu Beichen flicked his hair and sneered:
"Oh, there is no woman in my heart, I draw my sword naturally, the first page of the secret book, kill the one I love first, I, Gu Beichen, am fearless."
Xu Le and his three companions: …
He shouldn't be allowed to speak.
Xu Le pinched his chin. Considering Gu Beichen's ability, it was strange that he did not suffer from amnesia and hallucinations.
However, I don't seem to have encountered a similar situation.
Xu Le glanced at the three people. They were now high in the sky. If they returned to the airship and continued to delay, the result would be...
He shook his head slightly. At this altitude, everyone on the airship would fall to their deaths, without exception.
Even if there were several of them, if they fell directly, only he and Gu Beichen would be sure to survive by relying on elemental transformation.
"Is there a parachute on the airship?"
"Yes, but only those in second class and above can get it," Ai Li replied.
"I'm afraid a parachute won't work either. The shattered debris is flying around. If a parachute is scratched by a piece of metal, it's basically gone."
It was rare for Wang Shu to talk so much, but Xu Le already understood what he meant.
"Understood. Continue."
"yes."
The four of them continued to walk inside, still standing in a 1-1-1-1 formation, with Xu Le and Gu Beichen standing in the middle, and the two warriors Wang Shu and Ai Li in the front and back.
After several jumps and with fire lighting the way, a giant, ruined floating fortress appeared in front of the four people.
This platform is much larger than the other fragments.
But when standing on it, they can still only see things about 10 meters in front of them. If they are farther away, these buildings will be completely blended into the air and can only be seen by firelight.
But if you walk forward, these things in front of you will continue to extend forward along with your 10-meter visible field of vision, forming a very unique state.
It can even be said to be some kind of spectacle, but unfortunately, the scenery here is not very beautiful.
"An aerial fortress? Is this really something that human technology can achieve?"
Xu Le did not answer Gu Beichen's question, because even in his previous life, this kind of aerospace fortress-like building only existed in conception or even fantasy.
But what I saw before me was real, though unfortunately it was broken.
"There is a gate there, but it seems to be sealed."
Not far away, there is a large steel door, which should be a double door. There are obvious claw marks and traces of impact on the main body of the door.
It was obvious that this place had been attacked by some kind of monster.
"It's a very obvious attack trajectory. So, there must be something strange in this area?"
Xu Le shook his head slightly. At least he didn't sense any strange presence in the ancient sound multi-perspective.
Walking forward and touching the violently rammed door, Xu Le pointed around and said:
“Search around to see if there’s anything… Never mind, let’s just act in pairs. This place isn’t that big anyway.”
"yes."
Although it would be faster to act separately, some situations had occurred just now. Considering the safety issue, Xu Le still chose a more conservative approach.
After Gu Beichen and Wang Shu left, Xu Le took another look at the claw marks in front of him.
The solid steel plate was torn apart directly by the sharp claws, but the steel plate was too thick, so the door was not broken.
However, in terms of attack power, this level has already surpassed Yan Luo.
"Let's go."
The steel plate behind the claw marks was very smooth. After Xu Le and Ai Li turned and left, their reflections in the mirror-like steel plate did not move.
They just turned their heads slowly and stared at Xu Le who turned and left with strange eyes.
Ai Li, who was about to leave, seemed to have sensed something. She looked back at the steel door and the air behind her. Due to the limitation of her field of vision of about 10 meters, she did not find anything and did not notice any new clues.
"Feeling it again?" Xu Le suddenly asked without looking back.
"Yeah." Ai Li also answered honestly.
This made Xu Le feel very strange. Although Ai Li's perception ability was very strong, he was definitely not weak either. Especially after he was promoted to level 3, the perception of the Soul Tree was already strong enough.
Ai Li had a big reaction to this place, but how come he didn't feel anything at all
Not only him, even that rookie Gu Beichen didn't react.
The only ones who reacted were Ai Li and Wang Shu. Was it because they were warriors? Or was there some other reason
"Just hold my hand and keep going."
"Um."
Normally, this kind of hand-holding behavior is very inconvenient, as there will always be some emergencies during battle, but there is no other way now.
In fact, when Xu Le and Ai Li were holding hands, on the other side, Gu Beichen and Wang Shu were also holding hands together.
"Can you please not be so disgusting?" Wang Shu spoke first.
"I'm disgusting? You think I want to hold your hand? You forgot about your brothers when you had a woman, right? You bastard."
Although the two cursed at each other, they still held each other's fingers tightly and did not separate.
Just like Ai Li's situation, Wang Shu also felt something was wrong just now, and his reaction was even stronger than Ai Li's.
Seeing that Wang Shu was in a really bad condition, Gu Beichen took the initiative to hold his hand.
Even though they hate each other, at least they won't abandon each other.
"Hey, little tree, there's a hole here, want to go in and take a look?"
"No, notify Xu Le to come over and explore together."
The continuous occurrence of trance and hallucinations made Wang Shu feel uncertain and hesitant. It would be better to be cautious at this moment.
"good."
Gu Beichen sensed some changes in Wang Shu's mood, but his mind was not as delicate as Xu Le's. At this time, he could only shout to Xu Le and the others who were exploring on the other side:
"Xule, we found the entrance."
Gu Beichen's voice is quite loud, and Ai Li has very good hearing, so she can easily catch his shouting.
"They've found it, go ahead."
Xu Le nodded, and then the two of them went back to the broken cave entrance discovered by Gu Beichen.
"Breaking from the inside out."
"Any questions?"
"No problem, come in."
Xu Le and Gu Beichen seemed to be fine, but there was a hint of hesitation in the eyes of Wang Shu and Ai Li.
As a warrior, this is an emotion that should never occur.
"Let me go first."
In the end, it was Ai Li who went forward, and Wang Shu also felt that something was wrong with his emotions, but he didn't know how to overcome it.
"Xu Le, can my heart... fluctuate?" Wang Shu asked proactively.
"There is a little fluctuation, but it's not strong. What's wrong?"
“I feel a little nervous…”
"nervous?"
Xu Le looked Wang Shu up and down. Wang Shu was not a very strong person, but at least he could make correct judgments when facing various crises. The phrase "remain calm in the face of danger" could be used to describe him without any problem.
When facing the black tide, he and Rewi Alley could be said to be the two people with the strongest psychological qualities.
Why would such a person become nervous for no reason
"The same thing happened to you?" Xu Le looked at Ai Li.
"Yeah." Ai Li's expression became a little unnatural. She had always been brave in front of Xu Le before. It was really inappropriate for her to reveal such a slightly timid emotion.
But Xu Le certainly wouldn't get angry about this kind of thing. He glanced at Gu Beichen again:
"You still okay?"
"What's the matter? Are you worried about something happening to me?" Gu Beichen asked unconvinced.
"No, I mean, when Brother Shu was feeling uncomfortable just now, didn't you feel anything else?"
"The Night's Watch has nothing to fear."
Xu Le: …
Although he was a little speechless after being tricked by this guy, Xu Le had basically confirmed one thing, that is, he and Gu Beichen, the two warlocks, were fine.
The only two warriors who had problems were Ai Li and Wang Shu.
"Okay, let's go."
Walking into the floating fortress through this small broken hole, you will see densely packed rune seals engraved on the walls.
While observing, Xu Le recorded the curse runes on it. He wasn't sure if they would be useful or not, so he wrote them down first.
"This place was built by humans..." Gu Beichen said suddenly.
"How can you be sure?" Xu Le was a little surprised.
Gu Beichen walked to the front and found a chair, a washbasin-like object, and a toilet brush from a pile of debris.
"I feel like there shouldn't be any other races that use these things besides humans, right?"
"Indeed." Xu Le nodded.
But these items are all daily necessities, which means that someone once lived here for a long time
"Keep looking, don't separate."
"good."
There is a washstand, toothbrush and naturally a mirror.
Xu Le saw the mirror. He didn’t see anything else in the mirror, but he didn’t let Wang Shu and Ai Li see the mirror either.
He placed his palm on the mirror, and lightning continued to spread on the mirror, with the intense energy gradually transforming into high temperature.
Then the mirror surface was completely corroded.
"What are you doing?"
"It's okay, let's try the energy reaction here."
Although it was a poor excuse, no one would refute it when it came out of Xu Le's mouth.
Xu Le turned his head to look at Ai Li and Wang Shu. Ai Li's condition was slightly better, but Wang Shu's condition was more serious. Beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead and nose.
Tension, uneasiness, and many small emotions piled up together.
But what was even more strange was that Xu Le did not feel any strong mental fluctuations from him, as if it was only his body that was trembling with fear.
"Brother Shu, are you okay?"
Wang Shu stretched out his palm and looked at it. His fingertips were still trembling unnaturally, but his mind was clear and he could clearly realize that his ability to control himself was declining.
"I… "
Coo coo! ~
"What's that sound?" Gu Beichen suddenly shouted, and was about to shout for all the demons and monsters to show themselves.
In fact, Xu Le also heard the "cooing" sound just now, but Wang Shu and Ai Li in front of him seemed not to hear it, and their faces were full of confusion.
"There seems to be a natural suppression of warriors here. They are losing control of their bodies, so they can't hear it."
After listening to Xu Le's thorough analysis, Gu Beichen was surprised:
"How do you know that?"
"I guess."
Xu Le turned his head and looked towards the entrance. Fortunately, the cave entrance was still there. He took this opportunity to send Ai Li and Wang Shu out quickly.
"It's not appropriate for you two to stay here now, please get out first."
"I..." Wang Shu, who was always very obedient, was not prepared to be stubborn. But before he could say anything, he felt dizzy and fell to the ground instantly.
"Brother Tree?"
"Little tree."
A level 3 warrior who ate a high-level biological fruit fainted here for no apparent reason. This sounds incredible in itself.
"What's going on?" Gu Beichen asked.
"How should I know?"
Xu Le grabbed Wang Shu and prepared to take him out.
But before one crisis was over, another one arose. As soon as he stood up, Ai Li behind him fell down.
Xu Le frowned and immediately began to make seals.
"Ritual - Forbidden Summoning Array."
Several zombies appeared, and Xu Le was about to give them an order to carry two people, but they seemed to be disconnected from Xu Le's spirit. They raised their heads with empty eyes and looked at the place above their heads.
No matter how Xu Le controlled it, there was no response at all.
"Xu Le, think of a solution. I feel like something is wrong here."
"Like ass, go."
Xu Le picked up Ai Li and ran away. Then Gu Beichen looked at Wang Shu on the ground and tried to pick him up as well, but failed.
"I can't carry him!"
"Heh, a noob." Until today, after Mu Yue's training, Yan Luo's beating, and Sha's nourishment.
Xu Le can finally crush Gu Beichen in terms of physical fitness, and can say bluntly in front of him, loser!
He grabbed one of Wang Shu's hands and dragged it on the ground.
Wang Shu is a level 3 Ice Bear with thick skin and tough flesh, so this level of friction is not a big deal. Anyway, let's get the man out first.
"What are you still standing there for? Go!"
"Oh, here it comes."
Although he really wanted to investigate the current situation here, there was no way. Ai Li and Wang Shu were both in trouble. It seemed that their bodies were not adapted to this area. If they were delayed any longer, they might even die.
Xu Le's legs were covered with a layer of activated thunder. With two people running with him, his running speed was far faster than Gu Beichen.
"Hey, Xu Le, wait for me!"
Just as the two of them ran to the cave entrance one after the other, a strange noise came from the cave, which was so deep that only one person could crawl through.
It was like the sound of my hard steel being twisted and bent, creaking.
"What's that sound?"
“Stand back.”
boom!
The entrance of the cave was suddenly flattened, followed by a series of collapses. It was as if this steel building had some kind of external pressure that they could not feel.
When Xu Le and Gu Beichen thought they were trapped here.
Tear!
A piece of the outer shell of the steel fortress was suddenly torn off by something, and Xu Le and the other four were immediately exposed to the air.
The strong wind and the oppressive feeling brought by the rapid movement made it almost impossible for Gu Beichen to stand still. He could only hug Wang Shu and lie on the ground.
Xu Le looked up at the exposed sky.
"Eyeballs? An angel?"
