871. Chapter 871 Thunder of Shame and Anger (1/2)

Xiao Yan, Zi Yun and Lei Dong were flying through a jungle on Gulong Island, which had become a desolate land. During this period, Xiao Yan's soul perception did not converge at all, but he did not sense any signs of life or soul from the beginning to the end. Compared to the barren land outside, this jungle seemed several times more gloomy.

Even though the Taixu ancient dragon that had been left on the island had turned into skeletons, Hun Yan and the others should still be alive, but Xiao Yan was completely unaware of it.

Is it the wrong direction?

Xiao Yan frowned, suddenly raised his brows, and suddenly stopped. Lei Dong and Zi Yun who were following him also stopped.

"Why did you stop so suddenly?"

Lei Dong looked at Xiao Yan who stopped suddenly, and was startled suddenly, raising his eyebrows and staring at him displeased.

Xiao Yan was a little surprised why Lei Dong had such a big reaction. In other words, he always felt that Lei Dong was too nervous? Especially after entering this jungle.

But Xiao Yan didn't pay much attention at this time. It's always a good thing to be cautious. He didn't answer Lei Dong's inquiry immediately. He glanced at the dilapidated jungle around him, and finally fixed his sight on the dilapidated ruins and whispered.

"We...seem to be going in circles."

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lei Dong grinned. Not only Xiao Yan, Lei Dong's perception had never slackened from the beginning to the end. Lei Dong was quite sure that the three of them were moving forward all the way and never turned a corner at all.

But having said that, the scenery along the way just now is indeed quite similar?

Lei Dong crossed his arms, frowned and looked around, especially the dilapidated building that had passed through his peripheral vision for the third time, and his face suddenly turned cold.

Well, he seemed to realize that Xiao Yan was not telling lies.

"Hallucination?"

This word popped out of Lei Dong's mouth, and Xiao Yan nodded lightly.

"It should be. Maybe we have already fallen into the illusion when we stepped into this jungle. As for the evidence"

The Wu Jian Ming Xin Yan instantly ignited in Xiao Yan's palm, and he threw it towards the ruined jungle. The trees were instantly burned by the flames, but in the blink of an eye they grew again, exactly the same as the previous ruined jungle. Not even the branches are different.

Upon seeing this, Lei Dong frowned tightly.

"Not down below." Lei Dong raised his head and looked at the blood-red sky obscured by branches, "What about above?"

"etc."

Xiao Yan just stretched out his hand to block, but Lei Dong's execution was surprisingly fast, and his figure instantly flew upwards. Seeing this, Zi Yun glanced at Xiao Yan, who shook his head lightly.

"No need to chase, he will come down."

Sure enough, about three minutes later, Lei Dong, who had just flown into the sky, fell down. He crossed his arms and looked unhappy. Xiao Yan had already guessed what was going on, while Zi Yun asked in confusion.

"Why are you down?"

"You can't fly out of this jungle at all." Lei Dong gritted his teeth and replied, then glared at Xiao Yan fiercely, "You guessed it just now, right?"

"What I want to stop is that Mr. Lei, your execution ability is too good."

Xiao Yan spread his hands helplessly. This illusion immediately reminded him of the illusion created by the ancient Bodhi tree. The purpose was to trap people in an area. Although the illusion itself did not have any lethality, he wanted to break through. The strength of the three of them is obviously not enough.

"It seems we can only go there and have a look."

Xiao Yan turned his eyes to the dilapidated building. He passed by it in circles several times before not realizing it was the environment, but he didn't go in because he didn't sense anything from it. It was just an ordinary ruin.

But looking at the current situation, they have no place to go except these ruins.

With such a decision in his heart, Xiao Yan did not waste any time and walked directly towards the ruins. Zi Yun followed Xiao Yan without saying a word. Lei Dong crossed his arms and curled his lips slightly, and also raised his feet to follow.

The three of them entered the ruins one after another and looked at the interior of the ruins. Although it was dilapidated, it could be seen from the remaining traces that it should be the mansion of a powerful person, probably a big shot among Taixu Ancient Dragon.

The three of Xiao Yan explored the ruins and noticed a lot of dried blood scattered in every corner along the way, but they did not see a single corpse. They had probably been turned into puppets by Lord Happy.

Having said that, this place is really spooky, and some kind of ghost might appear at any time.

(If Meier wants to film a horror drama, this must be a very good filming location.) Xiao Yan thought in his heart, this gloomy feeling is not inferior to the cemetery in the Sky Tomb.

Suddenly Xiao Yan felt a soft body touch his shoulder, which made Xiao Yan slightly startled. He turned his head and saw Lei Dong with a nervous look on his face, leaning closely against him. Looking at his wary look on his surroundings, he obviously didn't care. Realizing how close he was to Xiao Yan now.

"Master Lei?"

Xiao Yan spoke tentatively, with some doubts in his eyes. Didn't Lei Dong always seem to hate himself before? Why are you so close now? "Um?"

Lei Dong was startled by Xiao Yan's gentle call, and then he noticed that he had unconsciously leaned on Xiao Yan's shoulder. The expression on that heroic face instantly changed, and he pushed Xiao Yan away.

"Why are you so close to me!"

"."

Seeing Lei Dong, who was the first to complain, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel speechless. Only then did Lei Dong realize that he had leaned forward unconsciously. He folded his arms and turned his head away. After a long time, he whispered leisurely.

"I didn't pay attention."

Although there was no word like sorry, Xiao Yan's superficial understanding of Lei Dong meant that he was sorry, which made Xiao Yan laugh.

Although he was a young master from a big family, he was not a person who didn't know right from wrong.

(Speaking of which, Lei Dong had been acting strangely since he entered the jungle)

Xiao Yan suddenly recalled Lei Dong's aggressive behavior after entering the jungle, especially after entering the ruins. He didn't seem to be on guard against enemies, but against other things that might pop out at any time.

Hmm? Other things that might pop out at any time? Xiao Yan was stunned and suddenly recalled what he had just thought of.

[If Mei'er wanted to shoot a horror drama, this must be a very good filming location. ]

Ah. That's what happened. Xiao Yan understood immediately and suddenly felt that this young master Lei was a little cute.

It was really surprising that he was afraid of ghosts despite his strong strength. Xiao Yan originally thought that Lei Dong was a fearless person.

Then Xiao Yan lit a flame in his hand, and waved it gently under the doubtful eyes of Lei Dong and Zi Yun. In an instant, the originally dim ruins were illuminated by the flames hanging everywhere, and the warmth emanating from the flames dispelled most of the gloomy feeling of the entire ruins.

"Xiao Yan, what are you doing?"

Zi Yun looked at Xiao Yan in doubt, and the latter chuckled.

"It's a bit too dark here, use the flame to shine it, so as not to miss any useful clues."

Xiao Yan explained like this, but it made Zi Yun even more strange.

With their strength, let alone this degree of darkness, even if it is a place where you can't see your fingers, you can see clearly. Is it necessary to light a fire for illumination?

However, Zi Yun's personality has always been a more carefree type, and she never asks too much about such trivial matters, while Lei Dong was stunned and looked at Xiao Yan's back in astonishment.

Is this guy doing this for me? Thinking of this possibility, Lei Dong instinctively felt grateful, but then was covered by great shame and anger.

After all, even though he was so strong, he was still afraid of ghosts, and was guessed to be invisible. Anyone would feel embarrassed, not to mention the arrogant Lei Dong. In his eyes, Xiao Yan's behavior was like charity.

In the end, Lei Dong came to a conclusion due to the damage to his own dignity.

This man is really not a good thing!

However.

Lei Dong glanced at the flames shining on the ruins around him, and a warm current flowed through his heart.

I appreciate this kindness for the time being.

But don't think I will admit your affair with Xun'er! Lei Dong came to Tianhe League again, and even condescended to serve as Xiao Yan's deputy. He had only one purpose, that is, to make Xun'er completely break her thoughts on Xiao Yan. Lei Dong wanted to make Xun'er understand that Xiao Yan was not worthy of her! As for Lei Dong's inner thoughts, Xiao Yan naturally didn't know, and continued to walk into the depths of the ruins. Lei Dong and Zi Yun behind him also followed closely. The three of them kept releasing their perceptions to explore around, hoping to find some clues to break the illusion array.

When Xiao Yan entered a place that seemed to be a hall, he suddenly stopped, frowning and looking at the scene in front of him. Lei Dong and Zi Yun behind him also tensed up instantly.

The once glorious palace is now only a ruin. The magnificent glazed tiles on the hall are no longer there, only a few mottled stone slabs. The wind passes through the door frame without a door, rolling up dust and splashing it in the hall. On the mottled wall, some blurred murals can be vaguely seen, but they have long lost their former brightness, like faded memories.

On the steps, a corpse leaned limply on the broken dragon throne. Unlike the Taixu ancient dragons that only left bones, the corpse in front of him was shriveled, but Xiao Yan could still recognize his identity from the skinny face.

The North Dragon King, Ao Jing!

(Is he really dead?)

Xiao Yan frowned. That day, the Western Dragon King and the Southern Dragon King were absorbed by Ao Jing. After that, Ao Jing escaped from the Black Horn Region with the help of the masked woman. Now the entire Ancient Dragon Island is occupied by the Venerable Joy. It is not strange that Ao Jing died.

Xiao Yan appeared in front of the dragon throne in a flash. After staring at his rotten corpse for a moment, he put his hands together and bowed gently.

As Xiao Yan once said, no matter whether he was a good person or a bad person in his life, everything will return to nothingness after death. Xiao Yan hated the man in front of him when he was alive, but there was no need to extend this hatred to his corpse.

Then he stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Ao Jing's shoulder to start exploring, and then raised his eyebrows slightly.

Not even a trace of soul residue was left. From the remaining traces, it can be identified that it was completely sucked dry.

According to Xiao Yan's memory, even if Venerable Huanyu survived the Black Horn Region, only the eldest sister Hun Yan barely reached the level of a one-star Dou Sheng, while Hun Mei and Hun Shu were not even half-saints.

But even if Ao Jing came back seriously injured at that time, he was still a late four-star Dou Sheng. It is hard to imagine that Venerable Huanyu was able to suck Ao Jing alive. There must be someone else helping him.

Xiao Yan's eyes moved down, looking at the roots of Ao Jing's legs that had disappeared from his body, and he gently wiped the cross section of the broken leg with his fingers, his eyes instantly sharp.

Only a sharp slash could create such a smooth cross section. You must know that Ao Jing was a late four-star Dou Sheng at that time, and his physical fitness had reached an extremely terrifying realm. Even a strong man who was two realms beyond it would find it difficult to create such a clean cross section on Ao Jing's bones.

Is it that masked woman? Xiao Yan frowned. He was unconscious at the time and did not see the masked woman in person. He only learned about the existence of the masked woman from Gu Qinghan's narration afterwards.

According to Xiao Yan's reasoning, the reason why the three dragon kings of Taixu Ancient Dragon went to the Black Horn Region together was because of the masked woman's instigation. She must have given them some benefits. From what Hun Yan said that day, it can be judged that the person behind Hun Yan must be the masked woman, because Hun Yan seems to know the masked woman better than the three dragon kings.

But. Why is this? Xiao Yan's eyes revealed deep doubts. She protected Ao Jing from the Black Horn Region, and then helped Venerable Huanyue absorb Ao Jing? What is the purpose of that masked woman? This time, the masked woman seemed to have no intention of interfering with Venerable Huanyu's actions. If the Tianhe League had not intercepted the news that Venerable Huanyu was here, Xiao Yan would not have brought people here, and Venerable Huanyu would have occupied Ancient Dragon Island. What good would this do for the masked woman?

"Hey! Have you found any clues?"

Suddenly, Lei Dong's voice pulled Xiao Yan back from his contemplation. Xiao Yan looked back at him and shook his head slightly.

"Nothing, let's go look somewhere else."

As Xiao Yan turned around and prepared to walk down the stairs, Xiao Yan suddenly saw Lei Dong's face change. Before Xiao Yan could react, Lei Dong turned into a lightning and rushed towards him, followed by Zi Yun and her shouting.

"Watch out behind you!"

Huh? !

Xiao Yan suddenly sideways, and what he saw from the corner of his eye was Ao Jing's corpse that had stood up at some point, and the white bone claws that had been raised high to him.

Crackling!

The dazzling lightning passed over Xiao Yan's face and hit Ao Jing's body heavily. Then Xiao Yan also reacted immediately, took Lei Dong and evacuated from the dragon throne to the bottom of the steps, staring at Ao Jing's body that was not damaged after Lei Dong's attack, and frowned.

How could it be. I just kept perceiving, but I didn't notice his movements at all!

"Hey"

Just as Xiao Yan was shocked, a trembling voice sounded from his arms. Before Xiao Yan could react, the person in his arms punched him in the face and knocked him to the ground.

Pain. Xiao Yan stroked his swollen and painful side face, and looked at Lei Dong who was holding his chest tightly in astonishment. His mind was a little confused for a while, and he didn't understand why Lei Dong wanted to do it to him.

And he didn't know if it was Xiao Yan's illusion, he always felt that Lei Dong's face seemed to be filled with obvious shame and anger.

By the way, did I touch something soft just now? (End of this chapter)
