Chapter 512: Ancient House
Originally, it was a wilderness with low-hanging dark clouds and cold rain.
An old and gloomy mansion stood at the end of the muddy path.
Under the gatehouse, two red lanterns quietly lit up, adding a faint blood color to the dark night.
But this creepy scene only appeared for a moment.
Then it completely changed into another appearance again.
Ripples appeared in the void, and the two men in black suddenly saw a blur in front of their eyes.
It was like falling into the dark abyss, and in an instant, all five senses were lost and the direction was unknown.
When they came to their senses, they were shocked to find that they were no longer in the rainy wilderness, but seemed to be in the netherworld of fire.
Thick smoke poured out from the cracks in the ground, as if clouds covered a large area of the sky.
There was also a biting and sharp whistling wind, which sounded like the howling of countless evil spirits.
Even more terrifying was that in the cracks, black flames could be vaguely seen surging, as if they were about to tear the earth apart and burst out in the next moment.
The two shuddered and their faces turned pale instantly.
Their eyes were full of fear, mixed with great doubt and confusion.
Not long ago, they had seen the Black Witch once, and they had a general understanding of her.
This woman had a tough and cruel personality. After getting the relevant information about the Black Magic Secret Art from the inner world, she practiced desperately regardless of the cost, even if her mind gradually fell into madness.
Therefore, she was given the nickname of the Black Witch.
But even so, she was just like their brothers, and could only wander in the second layer of the inner world.
She had no ability to go deep into the third layer.
However, this guy in front of them, who had never seen or even heard of before, actually pulled them into the third layer of the inner world with one move.
It was terrible.
It was really terrible.
The two men in black looked at each other and turned around and fled without hesitation.
They couldn't figure out how unlucky they were to have mistaken a fierce dragon for a black witch, who even jumped in front of him.
"After the second inner world, the third inner world?"
Wei Tao frowned slightly, and his doubts were no less than those of the two people not far away.
According to the two men in black, is there a fourth, fifth, or even a sixth, seventh, eighth, or ninth inner world like a Russian nesting doll?
Then, thinking further, which level did the abandoned middle school he encountered at the beginning belong to?
He decided to beat them first.
It would be best to beat them half to death.
Then give them hope of survival, and then interrogate them properly and get more useful information from the two people.
With this in mind, Wei Tao took action without hesitation.
"Quiet Heart, Black Magic Touch!"
As he pointed out, the only attack method that had been prepared for a long time was instantly activated.
Swish!!!
A nearly transparent black tentacle appeared quietly in the billowing black smoke like a long snake, and then disappeared without a trace like lightning.
The two ran away frantically, not even daring to look back.
Under the cover of the billowing smoke and the burning of the underground black flames, they began to foam at the mouth before they ran far. It seemed that there was a ball of fire burning in their throats, and every step forward was extremely difficult.
This was the result of gritting their teeth and holding on under great threat to their lives. If they relaxed a little, they would collapse to the ground immediately and could only breathe heavily like mud.
The man on the left turned his head slightly, wanting to see the situation of his brother.
At this moment, the edge of his vision suddenly flashed, as if a shadow had slid across the black smoke.
It was slender and winding.
It looked like a transparent long snake.
But it brought him a feeling of extreme fear.
Suddenly, like a flash of lightning passing through his mind, the man in black trembled violently and remembered what this thing was.
He suddenly shouted frantically, "Hurry up, run faster, this is the Black Witch's Death Touch, a killer move that specifically devours souls!"
Plop!
His inner fear was quickly magnified, and with the black smoke blocking his vision, he was suddenly tripped by the crack in front of him, stumbled and fell flat, and couldn't struggle to get up for several times.
He almost brought down his brothers around him.
"Run, don't worry about me!"
"As long as you can leave this area, you may be able to escape from this guy!"
"If you die, what's the point of me living alone."
"We can only find a glimmer of hope if we work together."
Another man in black sighed, and suddenly a red paper lantern appeared in his hand.
He raised the lantern high.
Blood-red light poured out, dyeing everything in front, behind, left and right red.
But the next moment, he suddenly froze.
The corners of his eyes and mouth were twitching slightly, and his eyes reflected the swarming translucent shadows, as if he had accidentally fallen into the depths of a snake cave.
There was a light click.
The big red lantern fell to the ground.
"Fuck, is it necessary to be so grand to kill two of us..."
"Isn't this guy afraid of bad luck backlash after doing this?"
He was stunned and couldn't believe his eyes.
Boom!!!
The transparent snake coil swept past.
Two cold corpses appeared on the charred ground.
They were soon swallowed by the newly cracked gap and fell into the depths of the blazing sea of fire below, without a trace left.
"I originally wanted to beat them half to death, and then torture them for information with both kindness and force. I didn't expect that I only used 50% of my strength, and it turned out to be like this."
"Too weak, too weak, it doesn't match their performance of backing up the gloomy old house and dragging me into the rainy wilderness."
Wei Tao slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, subconsciously raised his hand to press his eyebrows.
Huh?
But the next moment, he stopped without any sign.
"This feeling, and the cool breath that comes from the strands, inexplicably give me a kind of spiritual fulfillment and refreshing comfort."
"It's a bit beyond my expectations, so the name of the Black Magic Touch is not accurate, it should be called the Soul Devouring Touch."
"No wonder the woman in the short skirt wanted to attack me. It was obvious that she saw me as a newcomer in the inner world and was ready to use this move to devour and absorb my soul, but she didn't expect to hit a wall and backfire and get seriously injured."
"The notebook also records that if you stay in the inner world for too long, your mental strength will be consumed faster and faster, and the whole person will be affected more and more, until you gradually lose yourself and become crazy..."
Wei Tao thought silently, and ripples appeared in front of him again. According to the content recorded in the notebook, he tried to exit from the inner world.
Swish...
The billowing smoke gradually dissipated.
The black flames quickly moved away.
He was like sitting on a space elevator, with a bizarre scene in his sight.
Unconsciously, the dark color sense once again dominated the mainstream.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the wind and rain enveloped the earth.
Fine raindrops hit the bushes, and a series of rustling sounds came.
Wei Tao took a deep breath of moist and cool air, suppressing the dizzy feeling of vomiting.
At this moment, he returned to the wilderness again.
Under his feet was a muddy dirt road.
Not far in front of him was the eerie and strange old house.
It was almost the same as when he came here just now.
No, that's not right.
Compared with before, it seemed a little different.
Wei Tao frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on the gatehouse of the ancient house.
The two lanterns that were originally hanging there were no traces at this time.
In addition, the door of the ancient house had also been opened.
There was also a strange rustling sound, which was transmitted from time to time from inside the door, which sounded even more weird and terrifying.
There was another strange breath, overflowing from the depths of the ancient house, surrounding the muddy dirt road outside the door.
It was as if it was attracting him to go forward, cross the gate and enter the depths of the house.
"The two friends in black clothes, the good people who sacrificed their souls to me for food, may have obtained the power of the other world from here."
"According to the experience recorded in the notes of the woman in the short skirt, if I enter this ancient house to explore, I may encounter the same danger as the abandoned middle school, but I may also get opportunities similar to the black-clothed man."
Wei Tao stared at the half-open front door of the ancient house, listened to the rustling sound coming from inside the door, and fell into thought and hesitation for a while.
After a few breaths, he gathered his thoughts and made the final decision.
"Forget it, it is still unclear what the danger is inside.
But if I can only get the same opportunity as them, it is not worth the risk of going in."
Wei Tao shook his head and turned to leave directly from the muddy path.
The key is that the two people are too weak.
The last resort is to give each of them a paper lantern, which is simply a clown in his eyes.
This so-called opportunity is too shabby even if it is given to him for free.
Ripples appeared in the rain.
Wei Tao's figure gradually became illusory.
At this moment, there was a creaking sound.
Through the dark rain curtain, through the ripples, it seemed to ring directly in his ears.
Swish...
He returned to the muddy dirt road again.
Soon he came to the ancient house with the door half open.
With a creaking sound, the dark red door opened by itself.
Revealing the decayed and dilapidated scene inside.
A cold and rotten smell came to his face.
Wei Tao stood in front of the door, looking at the long stone road leading to the depths of the ancient house.
The road surface was clean and tidy, and there was not much water even after the rain.
Not to mention fallen leaves and weeds, there was almost no trace.
For the decay and dilapidation of the entire house, this was quite abnormal.
But then again, a building that could appear here alone could not be normal at all.
Hualalalalal...
The strange sound came again.
The source seemed to be deep in the long stone road.
Covered by the dark rain curtain, a place that could not be reached by sight.
Attracting people to go and find out.
Wei Tao was silent for a moment, closed the two doors on the left and right, and inserted the bolts very considerately.
Then he turned around again and walked down the stairs step by step.
Creak!
Just as he stepped on the last step, the door of the ancient house slowly opened again.
The sound of water was no longer far away, but seemed to be close to him.
Wei Tao stopped and turned back a little bit.
Then he saw a broom with almost only a wooden pole left, sweeping across the ground, cleaning the few water stains on the long stone road.
"Although I haven't noticed the danger for the time being, is this the so-called opportunity in the other world?"
"It's no exaggeration to say that I can really withstand such a test without sincerity."
"Those two people got two broken lanterns from here, but they ended up being a nuisance when they came to my place. It was a waste of energy to come back here."
Wei Tao's eyes flickered, and he spoke slowly with a disdainful tone and expression.
Blah blah blah...
The broom was still moving across the ground, but it was moving deeper into the courtyard from the door, and was once again submerged in the dark rain curtain.
The gate of the house that originally opened automatically began to slowly close inward, and after a while, only a narrow gap remained.
The whole ancient house seemed to become silent.
It seemed that he understood the meaning of being rejected, so he no longer kept exuding an inexplicable aura like before.
At this moment, several slender shadows suddenly appeared.
Like a few bolts of lightning that cut through the darkness, they swished through the door that was about to be completely closed, followed the route that the broom left, and went straight into the depths of the house shrouded in rain.
Click! ! !
There was a faint sound of breaking.
Immediately afterwards, the howling of the dark wind, like a ghost's cry, suddenly came from the depths of the ancient house.
Uh-huh! ! !
Several other touches of the dark devil have disappeared.
The only one left was racing toward the muddy path outside the ancient house at a faster speed than when it left.
Before that, Wei Tao had already taken the first step and also tried his best to get away quickly.
Uh-huh!
The touch of the black devil sank into his palm like lightning.
Wei Tao narrowed his eyes suddenly, an expression of surprise and confusion flashed between his brows.
Behind him, at the end of the muddy road, the dilapidated old house was shaking violently, as if something was wreaking havoc inside.
Then there was a loud bang.
The door was knocked open by a strong wind.
You can still hear the screams clearly, echoing in your ears through the dark rain.
Wei Tao walked quickly with all his strength and glanced back in the midst of his busy schedule.
What appeared in front of the ancient house turned out to be a beautiful and elegant woman who looked like a fairy.
It's just that her body is a little distorted and illusory, like the Yin God she has seen before.
She did not chase her out of the ancient house. It seemed as if there was an invisible barrier that stopped her suddenly under the gatehouse. From then on, she could no longer cross the thunder pool.
Along with the increasingly shrill screams, that beautiful face became distorted and ferocious.
It's like the red powder turned into a skeleton, decay and decay visible to the naked eye.
Wei Tao's body quickly became illusory and disappeared silently into the rainy wilderness.
In the process, he once again looked back at the scene he had just glimpsed, and his heart suddenly moved.
No, not Yin Shen.
It seems to be a yang god that is higher than the yin god.
I just don’t know why, but she was imprisoned in the ancient house and couldn’t leave.
It seems that he has lost all his mind and turned into a monster worse than a beast.
Uh-huh...
Under the dark night, ripples rippled in the void.
A figure appeared out of nowhere and quietly appeared in the narrow alley next to the hotel.
Wei Tao stumbled and held onto the wall to steady himself.
He raised his hand to wipe away the blood that spilled from his mouth and nose, and quickly returned to the room where he was hiding temporarily.
Under the slightly dim fluorescent lamp, the palm of his right hand emitted a hazy light.
It turned into strands of pure spiritual power, and part of it was integrated into the true spirit distraction, but more of it dissipated directly.
Silently, the status bar appeared in front of me.
Wei Tao was anxious and without any hesitation, he immediately started a new round of strengthening and improvement.
The gold coins disappeared one by one.
The progress of Quiet Heart continues to increase.
In the process, the dissipation and disappearance of pure power was finally stopped.
Instead, driven by the mysterious aura, they all turned into visible levels of strength.
Time passed quietly.
Unknowingly, the night recedes and dawn arrives.
Wei Tao opened his eyes at this moment, and a divine light flashed in his eyes. After a moment, it disappeared and he returned to his normal appearance.
In the status bar, Quiet Heart has undergone new changes.
Name: Quiet Heart.
Progress: 400 percent.
Status: Breaking the 30-level limit.
Description: Where the flames of the abyss burn, dark monsters will eventually be reborn.
Wei Tao closed the status bar and thoughts kept popping up in his mind.
"That ancient house is a good place, but it's a pity that I made the unknown house girl completely angry. I'm afraid I won't be able to appear in front of her again in a short time."
"But I still have an abandoned middle school. With my current level of strength, I should be able to absorb and devour the wandering Yin God, turn it into nutrients that enhance my own strength, and continue to push up the Heart of Tranquility."
"Besides, I have accumulated enough after arriving, and I can embark on the journey to find Yun Hong, and see what kind of relationship this strange girl singer has with Junior Sister Yun, who is one with all spirits."
