Chapter 16 Soul Purgatory

In the Corolla desert under the moonlight, the undulating sand dunes are like an endless quiet sea, condensed by gods with immortal magic, which suddenly makes people feel that time seems to be completely still, and the heaven and earth are frozen in a desolate moment.

Fortunately, there is still a roaring wind in my ear, with monotonous camel bells behind me, and dozens of uncertain undead in front of me, faithfully leading the way for themselves. Pallas felt less lonely. On this boring journey, he wanted to chat with those dead, talk about their lives, and learn about the world of the dead. Unfortunately, he is not proficient enough to say hello, and he hasn't even mastered it except for simple orders. Just like a newly learned foreign language, it is always difficult to communicate with others.

Every day is like this, walking alone under the moonlit night, simply repeating day after day, just like an ordinary and boring life. Loneliness makes people think nonsense. Pallas was surprised that what he thought about the most was the Empress Dowager Esaia, who had only a few faces in Poseidon Palace, a virtual character in a game!

The undead in front suddenly stagnated. Parath urged several times in a whisper, but those undead, like people in trouble, only wandered in place and did not take a step forward. Pallas immediately knew that he was close to the goal! Ancient sacred objects such as "black totem" are more or less deterrent to the dead, and they dare not get too close.

Crossing those illusory undeads and coming to the front, Pallas looked at it. This is the darkest time before dawn. The night is too dark, less than a hundred feet in visibility, and you can't see the distance at all. Pallas hesitated for a moment, gave an order to "wait" to the dead, then took off the camel bell, took the camel alone and continued to walk forward.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the star finally rose high, and a bright white finally appeared in the chaotic deep sky. Parath's dusty and stubbled face showed a smile. Finally, several moving black spots were found in a dim sea of sand, which was the only living thing he had seen except the dead and his camel in the past month, which made Pallas very excited.

Returning and climbing up the camel saddle, Pallas began to drive them to speed up, regardless of the weakness of the camels. If the front is the target you are looking for, then you must maintain sufficient physical strength for the next fierce battle before catching up with them. As one of the best warriors of the witch Gasem, Pallas is not sure of winning.

In the vast desert, once your whereabouts are found, they will not be lost, which is also a great advantage of desert tracking. When the sun rose from the distant horizon, Pallas finally saw the moving black spots in front of him, which were three camels slowly trekking in the sand sea, and there were two vague figures between the squat hump.

The camel in front of him stopped and rested in place. Pallas knew that his whereabouts could not escape the eyes of the other party. Presumably they also knew that they could not get rid of themselves in the endless desert, so they simply stopped and waited for a fight to the death with him. It may be that the other party has not realized that he is the pursuer of the Great West. It is almost impossible for others to track down two people in the vast desert like this.

Near noon, Pallas finally approached the distance where he could see the right side. In front of the three camels lying side by side, two Semitic men and women sat facing their faces on the ground. The man's ** had a dark upper body with a thick face, and the woman's upper body was only one The color of the chest pocket could not be identified, and the skirt of the lower body was torn to the thigh, obviously for the convenience of movement. Both of them look young, only about 25 or 26 years old.

"Why are you here?" The breeze sent the Semitic men far away to ask rough questions in astringent Spanish. Pallas knew that his dress could not be hidden from the other party, and he didn't want to hide his purpose, so he simply replied in fluent Samian: "Black totem!"

The other party said nothing more, but slowly stood up. Pallas was surprised to find that the Sam witch was very tall and sexy, no less than the black model "Black Pearl" who was in the limelight on the runway! Even if her face is full of dust, it is still beautiful and touching, which makes Pallas change the bad impression that the witches are old and ugly. And the big black man who followed her standing up was extremely burly and strong, holding a seven-foot-long tiger-headed staff in his hands, majestic like a god.

"For the sake of 'Black Totem', don't you hesitate to chase here alone?" The witch was surprised. She probably didn't expect that Parath would dare to chase into the Corolla Desert alone and find herself in the vast desert.

Paras's camel approached a little more, close enough to see each other's eyes clearly. He smiled faintly at the suspicious eyes of the Emma witch, "Didn't you escape all the way here for the 'black totem'?"

"Can you give up?" Emma asked from afar. Pallas immediately asked, "Can you give up?"

Emmar stopped saying anything, but began to half-closing his eyes and chanting spells, while his hands were drawn in a strange posture. Paras knew that the other party was preparing to perform black witchcraft, and he couldn't help but get nervous, but he knew little about witchcraft, and he didn't know how to prevent it.

Emma's fingerprints finally waved, and a curling black smoke rose from her palm with her gesture, gradually condensed into a short arrow, slowly drifting towards Parath along the breeze. Pallas hurriedly drove the camel to dodge aside, not thinking that the black smoke arrow could change its direction to pursue the target under the guidance of the witch's fingerprints. Pallas had to stare at the black smoke and greeted it with a slightly nervous expression.

The black smoke was like a tangible arrow. With Emma's gesture, it shot at Pallas, but it encountered obstacles three feet in front of him and suddenly dispersed into smoke and disappeared invisible. It was not until the black smoke completely dissipated that Parath sighed gently. His expression finally eased and touched this "soft armor" that could resist most of magic witchcraft. He was secretly glad that he did not hesitate to buy it at a high price, but now it finally came in handy.

"How could this happen?" Emma is puzzled, and warlocks who can resist his "black witch arrows" are rare. Warlocks who can break the "arrows" so easily are even rare, but the other party is obviously dressed as a warrior of the West. She was unwilling to recite the spell again and wave her fingerprints. A huge "black witch arrow" rose from her palm again with her gesture and slowly flew to Pallas. When it was less than a foot away from his body, it suddenly cracked into thousands of small arrows and flew straight, but it hit an invisible shield in front of him and shattered one after another. In a blink of an eye, he was blown by the wind without a trace. Emma seemed to expect such a result. She danced a more difficult and complicated seal again without stopping. This time, it was a "flame wind"!

A thick whirlwind appeared in front of her out of thin air. In the center of the whirlwind was the fiery fireworks splashed by Mars, which rolled towards Pallas under her spiritual control. Seeing that the whirlwind was coming, Paras was afraid that it would hurt the camel, so he quickly turned down and strode to meet the whirlwind. The whirlwind really followed his figure and wrapped him in the middle of the whirlwind in an instant. He smiled with his hands in the wind and turned a blind eye to the flames and wind around him. Emma was terrmented when he saw the situation, and his witchcraft was completely ineffective against him!

Paras no longer gave any chance to the other party and strode forward. The burly man next to the "Black Pearl" hurried forward, and the seven-foot-long tiger-headed stick in his hand swept over his waist with the sound of wind. Parath raised his hand and drew a knife, and the blade at his waist gently roared out of the sheath. The blackness met the other party's tiger's head stick like a strange lightning. When the blades intersect, there was almost no sound, and the tiger's head stick was broken from it, and the ferocious tiger's head flew far away with inertia and shouting wind. The heavy tiger's head was broken, and the hard-strike black man almost fell down and staggered to stand firm. Taking this opportunity, the shadow in Pallas's hand has gone straight to his chest. He didn't expect that although the big man was burly and strong, he was not stupid at all. He turned back to avoid Pallas's fatal blow, then turned back and pulled out a long knife from the camel saddle behind him, and cut it to Parath who followed him.

The two blades met again and made a slight bump. The long knife in the black man's hand broke, leaving only a bare handle. Pallas stood with a long smile, with a dark and dull dark blade, like an evil magic knife lying on his chest.

"I don't want your lives," Pallas, who was holding the victory, said leisurely to the two. "Give me the 'black totem' and we can be friends."

"Bah! Don't think about it!" Bayan, the first warrior of the Black nationality, roared and threw away the handle of his knife and rushed to Parath with his bare hands, like an angry lion. Pallas twisted her body to avoid his attack, and the dark blade waved to Emma, who pinched the seal and recited words, to stop her upcoming witchcraft.

A dark shadow brushed over the witch's head, cut off a wisp of black hair, and then stopped on her throat, which immediately made Bayan dare not act rashly.

"Gun over the 'black totem', or I will kill her!" Pallas put the knife across the witch's neck and looked at Bayan with cat-and-mouse eyes. Bayan glared at Pallas angrily, and the blue veins on his neck bulged like an earthworm. After the three were deadlocked for a moment, Emma suddenly said to Bayan, "Give it to him! Give him what he wants!"

Bayan hesitated for a moment, but still obediently took out a piece of black wood from the coat on a camel saddle, and said angrily at Pallas' feet, "Here you are! Let go of Emma, you despicable and shameless guy, you don't deserve to be a warrior at all.

"I'm not the first!" Pallas smiled leisurely, raised his foot to lift something on the ground, and then let go of Emma. I saw a piece of dark wood in my hand, as if it had been burned by lightning, and the original color could not be seen at all. Pallas looked carefully for a long time before he saw a faint human figure from the wood, which was completely naturally generated, but the more he looked more and more like a ghost embedded in the trees, and the name "black totem" probably came from this.

Just as Palas looked at the items in his hand, the free Emma witch suddenly waved her hand-pinching formula around. Five short arrows condensed by black smoke suddenly shot at several camels not far away, and instantly disappeared into the bodies of the camels. Several camels immediately fell on the sand like a convulsion, foamed at the mouth, and twitched for a moment before killing them all.

"Hahaha" Emma witch suddenly laughed, "What if you get the 'black totem'? Don't you want to accompany us to be buried in the Corona desert?

Paras held a "black totem" in his hand and stared at the dead camels, unable to speak for a long time. In the hot midday, he was still as cold as falling into an ice cave. He worked hard to get the "black totem", but he was trapped in the Corolla Desert, the land of death. Looking at the endless sea of sand around him, he could not be crossed without camels. He suddenly found that he was completely defeated at the moment he got the "black totem" and was so completely defeated! There is no possibility of reversal.

In the scorching sun, the cool wind hunting, and the endless desert, except for the five dead camels that fell to the ground, there are only three living people who hate each other.

The stars and moon are clear on the summer night in the southern wilderness, and the moonlight quietly pours into the room from the window, making everything in the room coated with a faint glow. I heard the tiny cat-like footsteps on the eaves above my head gradually fade away. Xia Feng then easily straightened up and smiled at Jia Xinna, who was still half-lying, "Why are you still doing that shape? I'm not shooting a movie."

"Why are you here?" Jia Xinna finally stood up straight, but still maintained a high degree of vigilance.

"I was also trying to ask you, why are you here? What did you steal? Is there anything worth doing here for the famous Flying Cat? Suddenly, when I met a real acquaintance in this virtual world, even my opponent felt a little kind, not to mention that the other party was so cold and sexy. However, Jia Xinna's cold beauty is completely different from that of Kunel. Kunil's cold beauty makes people dare not offend at all, but Jia Xinna's cold beauty always arouses the harassment of others. Xia Feng couldn't help joking, but then suddenly realized and asked, "Is it the 'Maple Star'?"

Jia Xinna's face changed sharply, instinctively stepped back half a step, and her left hand involuntarily covered the raised bag around her waist. Xia Feng looked at the shape and size of the object through the bag, and was immediately surprised that even his tongue was a little unfavorable. "You actually got it? From the protection of those teenagers who are proficient in martial arts, under the eyes of the Semitic wizard Batilla, they broke through the triple protection boundary formed by the three best magicians in the continent of the continent, and stole the artifact 'Maple Star' of the 'Dreamland'?

"Dream State?" Jia Xinna curled her lips contemptuously, "What you see is its beautiful appearance."

"What do you mean?"

"You should ask Orcus to take you to see his 'soul purgatory'."

"Purgatory of the soul?" Xia Feng frowned. Does Orcus have another territory besides the dream country? However, the bigger question made Xia Feng have no time to take care of this problem. He just stared at the sexy and cold extreme queen in front of him and asked, "I feel that there is nothing I can do about the protection of that tower, especially the triple protection boundary, which can never be broken by you and me. How can you get it?" Speaking of this suddenly remembered the fantasy novels he had read when he was a child, Xia Feng couldn't help joking, "Are you practicing magic and martial arts? Whether it's magic or martial arts, it has reached the top level?

"Of course not!" Xia Feng easily infected Jia Xinna, and she also relaxed a little. "I have been lurking in this southern wilderness for months and have not found any opportunity. I once quietly approached the 'Maple Star', and the old wizard and the triple protective boundary could not cope with it until tonight, until your arrival.

"We? What does it have to do with us?"

"I climbed to the roof of the tower at night as usual, peeped at the 'Maple Star' from the eaves, and happened to see a figure in a black robe turning into the tower from another window. I'm sure he is an outsider who reached at the same time as you, with mud in the swamp and grass in the jungle on his black robe. Speaking of this, a trace of confusion flashed in Jia Xinna's eyes. "I have never seen such sharp martial arts or magic, and I can't even tell whether it is martial arts or magic. The man dodged in the narrow tower like a ghost, and his body was no less than a top striker, waving a long lightning whip in his hand, which was definitely an illusion in the category of magic. Almost no one could stop him from whipping those agile teenagers, and in a moment they were chopped into scattered corpses by his flickering blue long whip. The scene was like a Shura hell. Even if I knew it was a virtual game, I was still sweating coldly. The man killed the teenager at the top of the tower, but he did not disturb the guardian of the next floor. Then he waved his whip to break through the triple protective boundary, and the 'Maple Flin Star' was immediately at his fingertips!"

Speaking of this, Jia Xinna gasped, "Of course, I can't allow him to do it easily, so I threw a piece of tile into the tower hall on the next floor. Immediately alarmed the guardians, and more than a dozen teenagers rushed upstairs under the leadership of Batilla's wizard, immediately preventing the man from acting further. Black witchcraft was still very threatening to the man, and he did not dare to be careless and blocked the black witch arrows kept shooting by Batilla one by one with the long blue whip. The long lightning whip inadvertently swept the stone statue of Orcus, immediately breaking the stone statue from his waist, and his upper body fell into pieces. I took advantage of the black smoke in the tower to grab the 'Maple Star' from the ground and left. Before leaving, I accidentally saw the face of the black man hidden in the cloak, pale and gloomy, like the legendary death.

"It's him!" Xia Feng was shocked and immediately remembered the black-robed man who took away Princess Yaoji on the outskirts of Jincheng.

"Have you seen him?"

Xia Feng had not answered, but he saw a vigorous figure gently turning in from the window and falling between the two. Both of them were shocked. Xia Feng instinctively stepped back half a step, and Jia Xinna cut the throat of the person with one palm. At the same time, she flew fiercely below, and her knees went straight to the other party's lower yin.

The person seemed to be not very good at this kind of close hand-to-hand combat, and retreated in a hurry. Under Jia Xinna's series of fierce blows, her lower abdomen was finally hit on the top of the knee, but she also rolled away from Jia Xinna's entanglement and pulled out her sword with a "sneer", and the long sword trembled with a "sneer" and immediately made Jia Xinna It's so busy.

"Okay, okay, stop fighting!" Xia Feng quickly pulled out his knife to block the Xingliu Sword, and then remembered that Cunel lived next door. The sound here can be hidden from the teenagers on the eaves, and it must not be hidden from Kunel's eyes and ears.

"Gun over the 'Maple Star'!" Kunel stepped back two steps with sharp eyes. His right hand pointed a long sword at Jia Xinna, and his left hand pressed his lower abdomen painfully. The top of her knee seemed to be very uncomfortable.

Jia Xinna did not take much advantage. Although she quickly dodged the other party's starry sword, she was still ripped by the sword, revealing her fair skin. She immediately pulled out the short dagger and stared at the trembling tip of the sword. She looked like a black cheetah on the ground and dared not be careless.

"Even if I give up the 'Maple Star' myself, I will never allow it to be stolen by others!" Kunail ignored the existence of Xia Feng and forced Jia Xinna, who was lying on the ground like a cheetah. "At least for the sake of the thousands of villagers in the dream country, I can't allow anyone to take away the artifact on which they live!"

Jia Xinna sneered, "The land of dreams? You just see its beautiful surface, but have you ever seen its 'soul purgatory'? And those resentful flower trees?"

"Yes, you just mentioned 'soul purgatory'. What is that? We have seen the resentful flower tree, but we still don't know what kind of monster it is. Xia Feng saw that the two were still tense. It was amazing that the two female tigers wanted to fight, and he may not be able to stop them. He had to follow Jia Xinna's words to distract Kuner's attention.

Jia Xinna took a deep breath, as if trying to restrain her emotions, and then slowly said, "If I tell you now what the resentful flower tree is, you will definitely not believe it. I will take you to see the 'Soul Purgatory' before you will probably believe me. With that, he rushed to the window, and as soon as his body moved, Cunel's sword had grabbed the window in front of her.

"I want to go! Leave the 'Maple Star' and talk about it!" Kunel dodged in front of the window and blocked Jia Xina's way.

"Do you think swordsmanship can stop me?" Jia Xinna curled her lips contemptuously, suddenly turned upside down, and rushed to the wall with lightning, grasping the cracks in the wooden wall with her fingers, pointed at the slight bulges of the wooden wall, her limbs at the same time, and ran up the beam like a ring cat, and mocked at Kunel condescendingly, "If I want to go, you can't even touch a single hair of my hair. ."

Kuner stared at Jia Xinna, who leisurely crossed her legs on the beam. It was hard to believe that her body was more flexible than that of the ape. If she wants to leave now, she can lift the tile at the beginning to the roof. Even if I climb up to the roof from the window to chase, with the other party's skills, I really can't catch this civet-like flexible mysterious woman.

"Okay, my aunt, don't fight!" Xia Feng first saluted Jia Xinna, and then bowed to Kuner, "I know this flying cat sister. Although she is a little arrogant, she can't tell lies. Let's go to see some 'soul purgatory' with her. If you can trust me, you can trust her as well.

Kunair hesitated for a moment, and finally put away the Xingliu Sword and stared at Jia Xinna on the beam of the room with hatred, "Well, I'll believe you once."

"It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not," Jia Xinna said, jumping lightly from the beam and fell to the ground quietly, just like a ring cat. After standing firmly on the ground, she gave Cunel a provocative glance, "What can you do to me?"

Seeing Kunel's hand holding the hilt of the sword again, Xia Feng hurriedly said, "Okay, now is not the time to bicker. How about you make an appointment tomorrow? I'm too lazy to care about you. Now I'd better go to do it in advance!"

Kunel didn't quite understand Xia Feng's words, but Jia Xinna clearly understood that she was about to turn her face when she stared. Xia Feng quickly slapped himself and apologized to Jia Xinna repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I forgot that you understand."

"Xia Feng, I tell you, I don't necessarily ask you to see the 'soul purgatory', but I feel that I have the obligation to uncover the truth of the dream country!" With that, Jia Xinna stared at the two angrily before turning out of the window. Xia Feng and Kunel also followed them and carefully followed Jia Xinna on the eaves and touched them out of the town.
