Chapter 326: Fear of the Unknown

Zhang Xiaohan felt that she was very burdened.

On her left arm she was holding a large bird that was more than two meters tall when she landed, and if it weren't for the fact that her shoulders were really narrow, the big bird would have wanted to grab her shoulders.

even wanted to fall on her head, Zhang Xiaohan resolutely objected, and would rather keep raising his left arm.

What kind of image is it kidding, that big bird is going to land on her head, what is that image? Although the image that fell on the left arm was not much better.

He also holds a vase in his right hand.

Fortunately, although the vase contains half a pool of water, it is not that heavy, otherwise...... Zhang Xiaohan looked at the vase that she couldn't see with a weak heart, even if she was a monk, she couldn't move it.

It's a shame that I can be invisible, otherwise, it would be really nondescript to be seen holding a big bird in one hand and a vase in the other.

Zhang Xiaohan thought in his heart, but his speed was not slow, and he controlled the flying sword, and soon approached the peak filled with white mist.

The rising sun did not dye the white fog with any golden edges, Zhang Xiaohan slowly approached the white fog, and stopped not far from the white fog.

"Mackerel, do you want to see this white mist?"

Through the mouth of the vase, you can see that the mackerel has shrunk countless times and is swimming freely inside.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

As soon as the water splashed, the small figure flew out of the mouth of the bottle, and as soon as it left the mouth of the bottle, it became several times larger, and the mackerel floated in its bubbles, facing the white mist.

"What a rich aura." The shark shook his head and shook his tail: "Cultivating here is much better than in the waterhole under the mountain." ”

Zhang Xiaohan smiled, not everyone can cultivate here. Just as he was about to explain, he heard the shark's gloating voice: "Big bird, you won't be blessed with such a strong aura." ”

Zhang Xiaohan's heart moved, this shark seemed to know a lot of things.

Big Bird said sullenly: "Of course I know that I can't cultivate here, but you can." ”

The mackerel shook his head and waged his tail: "Of course." The tone was quite proud

Zhang Xiaohan smiled, didn't say much, and controlled the flying sword to hide into the white mist.

"Huh? Zhang Xiaohan, how can you also use spiritual power in the white mist? The mackerel asked in surprise.

I didn't hear that I couldn't use spiritual power, but I heard that I couldn't absorb the spiritual energy here, Zhang Xiaohan was even more surprised than the mackerel. But she didn't say it.

Soon left the range of the white mist. Zhang Xiaohan was even more careful, she didn't know that there was no one living here, so many fine houses, and such abundant aura. It is very likely that there are still monks cultivating here.

The place where I lived for half a month was very quiet. From the outside, you can't see that there is no one living here. Zhang Xiaohan's divine consciousness was released, quietly, and there was no one in the scope of his divine consciousness.

"It's weird. With such a good cultivation environment, why is there no one? Zhang Xiaohan passed on his thoughts to the big bird and the mackerel.

The mackerel left the vase and landed on Zhang Xiaohan's other hand with bubbles, and after hearing the words, he thought for a while, but he couldn't say anything.

Zhang Xiaohan's footsteps stopped for a while, and he sacrificed the flying sword again, this is halfway up the mountain, and the white mist at the top of the mountain is even denser.

As early as a year ago, when she lived here with the other monks selected by Xiaobi, she wanted to explore the top of the mountain, this mountain peak is so strange, these white mist with dense aura are not suitable for monks to cultivate, so, what do these aura want to hide?

Zhang Xiaohan didn't take off the mask on her face, and in the face of unknown things, she was still careful.

The big bird also stayed quietly on Zhang Xiaohan's left arm, the curiosity in its heart was no worse than Zhang Xiaohan's, it had long known that the white mist was shrouded here, and it also knew that it could not use spiritual power at all within the scope of the white mist.

The demon beast is also curious, it also wants to know the secrets under the white mist, and Zhang Xiaohan can actually pass by with a sword, which really surprises the big bird.

"It seems that it doesn't matter if you use your spiritual power in the white mist." Zhang Xiaohan remembered that she had seen Yan Dao and Song Chensha through the white mist: "It's just that you can't absorb the aura in the mist." ”

The shark shook his head, although no one saw it: "Otherwise, if you use spiritual power, you will naturally absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world, and it is not a question of whether you take the initiative to absorb it or not." ”

This is very reasonable, Zhang Xiaohan nodded secretly, remembering that Yan Dao and Song Chensha walked through this white fog, and did not use flying magic weapons or control flying swords, so he understood.

Thinking in his heart, he didn't stop under his feet, the speed of the flying sword was extremely fast, and in an instant, there was a dense white mist in front of him.

The line of sight in the white mist was also within a range of four or five meters, and it could also isolate the detection of divine sense, Zhang Xiaohan slowed down.

The white fog in this area is much thicker, the field of vision is not even four or five meters away, and the range that the divine sense can see is not more than double, Zhang Xiaohan carefully submerged into the white fog.

This is a strange main peak, the aura is so abundant, but there are no plants in the white mist, lifeless, not even earth, and there are abrupt rocks under your feet.

Zhang Xiaohan has been suspended in the air, and under her feet is a flying sword that no one else can see, and she is not stingy with spiritual power, because as soon as she enters the white mist, the chaos exercises in her body will run automatically, and she will continue to replenish the lost spiritual power.

This was a very strange climbing process, Zhang Xiaohan was only about a meter away from the ground, the tip of the flying sword was slightly tilted, and Zhang Xiaohan stood firmly on it.

You can see the steps at your feet - Zhang Xiaohan circled and searched for it when he was going up the mountain, and found the passage up the mountain.

Zhang Xiaohan and the big shark bird are very vigilant, their perceptions have always been connected, if one of them finds danger, the other two can find it.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, Zhang Xiaohan suddenly had a sense of danger.

Neither in my vision nor in my consciousness saw anything, but this sense of danger grew stronger and stronger, as if something was eyeing me out of sight.

Zhang Xiaohan stopped the flying sword.

Who is watching themselves?

But who can see themselves? Is it divine consciousness?

"What's wrong?" At the same time, the question of the big bird and the shark came to my mind.

"I don't know." Zhang Xiaohan replied simply: "I just feel that something is peeking at us." ”

After a moment of silence, the shark replied first: "I don't feel it." ”

But the big bird followed up and said, "I also have a sense of danger. ”

Zhang Xiaohan looked back and forth for a while, and the flying sword moved slowly.

The further up she went, the stronger that feeling of danger became, and Zhang Xiaohan felt like a prey in the hunter's attack range.

This feeling of danger has never been experienced before - in the past, danger was sudden, and the response was also a reflex, but now, this feeling of danger is like a blunt knife slowly cutting the flesh from the body, making people always in fear, in fear and encroaching on fear.

Zhang Xiaohan had to stop again.

"I feel the fear of danger." Without waiting for the shark and the big bird to ask, Zhang Xiaohan said.

"There is no danger." After a moment of silence, the mermaid said slowly: "Because you are used to observing with your eyes and using your divine sense to see places that you can't see with your eyes, once your eyes and divine sense are useless, you feel fearful. ”

Zhang Xiaohan paused for a moment, is that so? She looked at the white mist that her vision and her divine sense couldn't penetrate, was her fear really just from not being able to see?

Suddenly, I remembered an article I had read in my previous life, and I can't remember the name or who said it, but the content in it is very similar to the situation I encountered today.

That article is about why people are afraid of the dark.

The reason why man is afraid of the dark is because of the unknown and mysterious of the darkness, because no one knows what is behind the darkness or whether he can control it.

To put it bluntly, to be afraid of the dark is to be afraid of death, because the most feared consequence of the darkness is death.

It seems that the article also talks about the inheritance of the primitive era, Zhang Xiaohan can't remember it clearly, and as soon as the shark is mentioned at this moment, Zhang Xiaohan immediately thinks of it.

Thinking about it carefully, what Mackerel said is not unreasonable.

Both he and the big bird were afraid, but the mackerel was not.

Or maybe it's because the mackerel is an ancient spirit animal, and he and the big bird are creatures that have been inherited for hundreds or thousands of generations, probably in the mackerel's generation, no creature has developed a fear of darkness.

Zhang Xiaohan stood in place for a while, looking up at the top of the mountain that he couldn't see.

This main peak has always been shrouded in white fog, and perhaps this white fog is the protection of this main peak.

First of all, he couldn't use spiritual power in the white mist - he was an outlier, and the reason for this was unknown, but obviously, the vast majority of monks couldn't use spiritual power.

This caused the first psychological pressure on the monks.

If you can't use spiritual power, then what the monks can rely on will not exist, and without cultivation, the monks may not be able to fight even an ordinary person.

Because ordinary people are accustomed to fighting with the strength of their bodies, relying on their fists and feet to defeat each other, while the habit of monks is divine consciousness, and divine consciousness drives magic weapons to fight, and only monks in the Qi refining period will still have the consciousness of fighting with weapons in their hands.

There is also the climb up the hill step by step.

Without the flow of spiritual power, the bodies of the monks are ...... Shouldn't it be strong, let them walk up step by step with their feet, it is estimated that they will be tired and lie down before they have walked out of an hour, this is an out-and-out climb of the mountain.

This first point prevents the vast majority of people from going up the mountain.

The second point is this white fog that separates the line of sight from the divine sense.

As the mermaid said, the monks are accustomed to the observation of the divine sense, to the vastness of their horizons, and once the scope of observation is limited to such a small part, or for a long time, the fear of the unknown will come to their minds.

Thinking about the two points at the moment, the fear in my heart has really decreased, but it has only decreased, and it has not completely disappeared.

Zhang Xiaohan was excited, and comforted himself in his heart: the shark is an ancient spirit beast, and the big bird is a fifth-order demon beast, and they are much stronger than themselves in terms of ability, and with the two of them by his side, he is like two more bodyguards, there is really nothing to be afraid of.
