Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter No.17: Mountain Road

The silent group of people on the mountain road did not make a sound, waiting for the return of the people who went to investigate above, but when the clear footsteps came from below, the people waiting by the cave were stunned, all of them were in a panic. Here, who climbed up again?

The footsteps of "pat" and "pat" are gradually approaching, but it is the sound of people running, accompanied by a slight panting sound, it seems that they will arrive in the next moment.

who is it?The people above have not come back yet, who came up again?

Besides the few companions who died, who else would be below?

Except for those companions who died...

Except for the dead...

Several people couldn't help but clenched the guns in their hands. The footsteps sounded too weird, as if an unexpected monster would appear on the mountain road in the next moment.

But when the sound of "Finally here" came, everyone was stunned again. The voice was...

A figure rushed up from the corner, but it was a young man in blue casual clothes. He seemed to be tired from running, and he didn't raise his head, just supported the stone wall to breathe: "Meow, it's finally here."

Everyone just looked at the tired and out of breath man with shock on their faces.

And the young man also raised his head, and after seeing the situation in front of him, the shock on his face was no less than that of them: "Hey! Master! Master!"

The man in blue casual clothes was none other than Le Wuyi who was driven by Shen Ye to hit the striker. At this time, he was also surprised: "You guys came up too? No, I obviously didn't see you guys ..." Then he saw the familiar cave, isn't it the place he left earlier?

"This...how did I come back?" Le Wuyi pointed at the entrance of the cave with a look of shock on his face.Why did he return to the original place when he was obviously going up all the way?On the winding mountain road, people keep climbing up, and there is no reason to go back to the far side!

After Le Wuyi, several figures came out from the mountain road, and seeing Huang Jue and Shen Ye standing in front of them, they were all surprised: "Boss Huang? What are you doing?" Also found the same problem as Le Wuyi.

"What's going on here?" Not to mention those who stayed where they were, those who returned were even more flustered. Is this a ghost hitting a wall?How else would you come back?And if they return the same way, they should be in front of everyone, not behind!

It was just a wayfinding trip, but when we encountered such a weird scene, Le Wuyi swallowed his saliva: "Meow meow, I must have run into a ghost, right?"

Others were also a little bit unable to recover, but there were many strange thoughts in their hearts.Is what they see now real?Didn't they go up before?Or, in fact, what you see in front of you is not a real person?The people who stayed at the same place also started to think wildly, and all of a sudden, there was only silence on the mountain road.

It was Xie Yi who spoke first: "Wuyi, come here."

Hearing the master's call, Le Wuyi immediately forgot the previous surprise, and went straight past.

"Master." Le Wuyi did not forget to send a smirk.

"No difference, did you find anything special before?" Xie Yi asked.

Le Wuyi patted his head: "No, we kept going up and came back without knowing what happened."

Xie Yi turned his head to look at Shen Ye, Shen Ye's gaze remained unchanged, but he nodded slightly.

Huang Jue was also asking his subordinates, and got similar answers. The group of people walked up the mountain road, and when they thought they were about to reach the top, they saw a group of people staying behind at the corner.

"Then Mr. Shen, let's go up together this time." Huang Jue finally made a decision.

Shen Ye had this plan in mind: "Naturally."

Huang Jue left two guards behind, and the rest naturally began to climb up the mountain path. The narrow mountain path and the more barren mountain wall, the most important thing is that there is indeed a feeling of going up.

The front is getting closer and closer to the top of the tomb, and the closer it is, there is an illusion that the top of the tomb is constantly pressing down, and it seems that even breathing is beginning to be suppressed.

It's getting closer, getting closer, so, will it go back to the distance?

As we continued to move forward, this question echoed among the silent group of people, but when we turned a corner, there was a sudden change in front of us.

The gradually clear top of the tomb is no longer there, and what appears in front of it is the familiar cave and the two stunned people left behind. However, the top of the tomb that was once very close has been raised by several feet in an instant, as if the previous approach was just a moment. field dream.

"Master." Xie Yi looked at Shen Ye, he observed carefully all the way, and didn't find anything strange, but when he also felt this strange sense of gap, he was a little puzzled.

how did you do that?

Shen Ye just frowned and said nothing. Like Xie Yi, he didn't feel anything weird, but if he fell directly from the top to the bottom, who would believe it if it wasn't weird?

Le Wuyi innocently begged for comfort: "Master, I came back just now out of nowhere." Is it really a surprise, okay?

Xie Yi patted his head: "It's fine."

So Le Wuyi was satisfied, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be concealed, which made Shen Ye's unattractive face, who was finally ready to let his apprentice Sun Yi go, even more ugly.

Huang Jue's face was also livid, and he went back to the far point for no reason, which made him care. Does this mean that they want to enter this cave?Or is the real entrance above, and they are blocked?

"Mr. Shen, you..." Before Huang Jue finished speaking, Shen Ye said, "I'll go up again, you stay here."

"That's fine." Huang Jue wasn't going to object, and he needed to think about it.

"Xie Yi," Shen Ye called out, "Come with me."

Of course Xie Yi agreed: "Yes, Master."

As for a certain disciple Sun Yi who was full of anticipation, Shen Ye glared at him directly, so his anticipation turned into dejection, so what's wrong with you, Grand Master?What did I do to make you mad?I have no idea.

Xie Yi smiled helplessly, really didn't know what to say, patted Le Wuyi's shoulder as comfort, and followed Shen Ye's footsteps up.

Far away from the location of the cave, there was nothing left but the vastness behind them. The two walked side by side, carefully checking the mountain road and the surrounding situation. From the visual point of view, the two of them were indeed walking up, but what if the visual perception was an illusion?

Shen Ye stopped in his tracks, but when he flipped his hand over, he was holding a golden dagger in his hand. He slashed down on the mountain wall, causing stones and soil to fly up, leaving a thumb-wide scratch. Xie Yi continued to move forward.

Moving forward again, the mountain road is still rising, and there is no artificial scratch on the mountain wall, but after walking for a while, Xie Yi frowned and touched the smoother mountain wall: "Master. "

Xie Yi's fingertips sank into the smooth mountain wall, as if his fingers had been cut off suddenly, but in fact, Xie Yi was caressing a crack, which was left by Shen Ye earlier. Mark of.

"Are we really spinning around in place?" Shen Ye also touched the invisible scratch, which was indeed left by him earlier.

The original traces were covered by illusions, what deceived the two?On this empty mountain road, what can blind people's vision?

"Keep moving forward." This is the first time they have returned here, so what about next time?Will it pass again?Or are they actually walking back, and further down, is where Le Wuyi and the others are?

Xie Yi naturally obeyed, and after walking for a while, the scratch appeared again in front of his eyes, but this time, it directly protruded from the mountain wall, and there was nothing to cover it up.

It was really unexpected to encounter this situation.Obviously keep going up and forward, but this scratch is repeated. This is no longer in a circle. There is a mountain wall, they have never entered the interior, how come the repeated loops?Or are they actually turning back and forth on the same road repeatedly?

It's just... Xie Yi frowned and touched the scratch again, but turned around in surprise: "Master, this scratch is fake." It was obviously a place that should be recessed, but no matter how hard it was to touch with fingers , like a transparent wall formed by air, isolating it from the outside world.After groping carefully, I found that there was no damage here, and the scratches looked like a simulation painting painted on the mountain wall.

"Hmph," Shen Ye sneered when he saw it, "Interesting."

Xie Yi was also thinking, what is the purpose of these real and fake traces?
