Ask for a recommendation and ask for a guaranteed monthly pass.

After eating a strange and delicious breakfast, Chen Kai and the others put away the tent in the bedroom and prepared to leave the room. To read the latest chapters, please lock in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info{Aishang Novel Network biquge.info} Because the owner of the house, the ghost old man, also planned to go out, looking at the hoe and shovel he carried, Chen Kai estimated that the other party was going to participate in the work in the field, or to take care of the cemetery. (If the surrounding area is still a cemetery)

But when Chen Kai and the others watched the ghost old man walk outside, they only felt that there was an unusually unreal feeling. Because when the ghost old man went outside, a newborn sun was shining on the earth through the clouds, and the ghost old man was just shining on the sun.

The ghost, who was supposed to be afraid of the sun, raised his head very comfortably at the moment and looked at the rising sun in the sky. This situation seemed to Chen Kai, who had been dealing with dead creatures for several months, to them as a kind of anecdote, and at this moment everyone had an extremely unreal feeling in their hearts. It's as if the old man, who is a ghost on the outside and a skeleton on the inside, is a creature with a hallucinatory structure, and the surrounding qiē is also a hallucination.

Therefore, when several people saw the ghost old man walking into the sunlight and strolling on the early morning meadow, their first reaction was to pinch their cheeks hard, trying to rely on the pain to wake them up from their hallucinations. But except for the redness of the pinching on the face, and the terrible pain, none of the people who pinched their faces saw the reaction that even the slightest hallucination disappeared. The sun was still slowly rising, and the grass was still fragrant with a slight amount of dew.

"Isn't this Gordi, Boss?" Fei Yun rubbed his pinched aching cheeks and said, his eyes constantly scanning the surrounding qiē, the grapes hanging on the shelves, the apples growing on the trees, and the large unripe pumpkins in the fields. A qiē and a qiē all seem so real, almost as real as the game world they are in.

"You ask me? I also want to ask you, aren't you a thief, you should see the map, look for where this is? Chen Kai had a hint of depression on his face, he really didn't know where he was now. The world in the game is so real that the player has to rely on the map and the surrounding environment to identify information when they are in a certain place. Although they asked the old man at breakfast, the other man did not answer the question, but only smiled with the baked bread.

Looking at the open upper and lower jaws behind the ghostly old man's smile, Chen Kai felt as if he had asked in vain, and then he didn't delve much into it. After all, they couldn't have had the guts to ask a ghost old man, especially when the situation was unclear.

"Wait, Lao Su, don't go out first" Chen Kai stood in the corridor of the hut, his eyes constantly checking the surrounding situation, and the silver-white eye of the stars was always in an active state. He wanted to rely on this magic to observe his surroundings, but no matter how much magic he was injecting, what he saw was no different from what his eyes saw. At the same time, Su Xinghe left the corridor of the hut with steps at this time, which made Chen Kai very worried, he was afraid that Su Xinghe would disappear from his eyes after walking into the grass.

But it seemed that Chen Kai's worries were more superfluous, and when Su Xinghe stepped on the turquoise meadow, his body was still in front of Chen Kai's eyes, and it had not disappeared or changed. He was still wearing a leather armor and carrying a giant sword, but his face was a little more relaxed, after all, he was still nervous when he stepped on it.

After Su Xinghe entered the grass in the courtyard outside, the others also slowly walked out of the hut and into the courtyard. Then he followed the figure of the ghost old man who was about to disappear, and stepped on the path he had walked and left the courtyard.

It's just that Chen Kai and the others watched the ghost old man go farther and farther, no matter how they chased him, they couldn't catch up with each other, they could only watch him gradually disappear from view. After watching the ghost old man disappear, Chen Kai and the others realized that they seemed to have forgotten something, and when they looked back, they found that the hut in the distance had disappeared from view, and at the same time, the turquoise grass around them had turned an earthy yellow.

Looking at the meadows around him that were gradually disappearing and recovering into wilderness, Chen Kai's heart had never been so fearful as it was now, because he found that the place where they were standing now was actually the same graveyard. And under their feet were several fresh corpses, white maggots crawling slowly on the rotting cheeks of the corpses.

Looking at the white eyeball that fell out of the socket pushed by the maggot, Faye Wong, who was the least daring, suddenly let out an extraordinary scream, because the eyeball cracked in front of her eyes to reveal more than a dozen maggots with white flowers inside.

Listening to Feifei Wong's extraordinary terrifying scream, Chen Kai only felt his head rise, and then the whole person fell into a state of confusion. As he struggled to get up from the ground, he found himself in a pitch-black environment, with a strong smell of decay around him. Not only was the smell of decay spreading in the air, but even Chen Kai's mouth had a rancid smell, and the smell was getting stronger and stronger, so Chen Kai couldn't help but spit it out.

It doesn't matter if you don't vomit, as soon as you vomit, the other people who listened to the sound will also vomit, because after they woke up, they directly lit the torch, and then saw what Chen Kai spit out. A few whitish eyeballs, and some black flour powder, and rotten apples. Looking at the large pile of garbage on the ground, the others immediately understood how it came from, so they couldn't bear the churning in their stomachs anymore and spit it out.

Everyone almost finished vomiting and I vomited, and it took nearly half an hour for them to get up from the ground weakly, away from the frightening vomiting substance. At the same time, the torch raised at the same time finally saw the surrounding environment clearly, a sealed cellar, and hanging above the cellar was a rotting corpse that had been cut several times, the black incisions on the corpse were still very fresh, looking at those incisions, Chen Kai thought of the meat sausage that the ghost old man gave them to eat. The black stuff that was spit on the ground was probably cut from this corpse.

At the same time, Chen Kai also understood the place where they were now, the cellar that was sealed with gel. But the only thing Chen Kai didn't understand was why they stayed in the cellar, and how they ate those disgusting things that made people want to vomit when they saw them.

What was churning in the ninja's stomach again, Chen Kai opened his system panel to see what he had experienced in the past twenty-four hours. After searching for a full ten minutes, he found such a sentence in the most inconspicuous place: "Get out of the ** illusion"

"Fantasy? Could it be that what we encountered just now is illusion, but this illusion is too powerful" Chen Kai didn't believe his eyes a little, although he had the feeling of being in an illusion at the beginning, but as time went by, this feeling was denied by himself, but now the system actually told him that he was really in an illusion.

However, the disgusting stuff on the ground had already been told by the churning liquid in their stomachs that Chen Kai's system was not wrong, they really stayed in the illusion world, and they were also brought to this cellar. It's just that Chen Kai didn't know if they had stepped into the illusion when they entered the tent, or if they had already entered the illusion when they entered the hut.

But soon Chen Kai shifted his mind from how to enter the illusion to how to leave this cellar, as he had checked, the entrance to the cellar was covered with a thick layer of gel, and what made Chen Kai and them most depressed was that these gels were not afraid of fire and were unusually sticky. No matter how Chen Kai chopped and burned, those gels were attached to the wooden planks and could not be removed, so Chen Kai and the others were locked under the cellar and could not get out.

Chen Kai, who was trapped under the cellar, tried their best, but they couldn't push even a trace of the sticky wooden board away, and the gel was firmly adsorbed to the wooden board like a solid coagulant. Not only does the plank and the entrance to the cellar firmly bind together, but it also increases the strength of the plank itself several times. Because no matter how Chen Kai chopped, they couldn't split the thin plank, and they could only make a knocking sound.

After several attempts in a row, Chen Kai and the others gave up the idea of getting out of the cellar and considered other ways. After giving up and going out from the cellar entrance, Chen Kai began to slowly look at the entire cellar, the place that made him feel sick and frightened.

Hanging above the cellar was the corpse that had been used as a sausage in the environment and cut into pieces, the color of the corpse had turned black and there was a hint of ** smell. Apparently the corpse had been hanging here for a long time, and had been salted and hung on it like a zuò dried ham.

Looking at the dried corpse, Chen Kai felt that his intestines began to churn again, especially the two eyeballs that he spit out for the first time. Now he's lying in the vomit rolling around, giving off a disgusting smell.

Chen Kai almost held back the sour water that he spit out again, and looked at other places. On the left side of the cellar, a large pile of ** flour was piled up there, and the flour that was originally white now turned black. On the side of the flour pile are buckets of ** apples, which have turned black and shriveled after being stored for too long.

Enduring the churning things in his stomach, Chen Kai threw all the garbage aside, along with the hanging corpses, but when all the sundries were removed, Chen Kai and the others continued to froze. Because the walls of the cellar were actually made of thick bluestone as a whole, the walls of the entire cellar seemed to have condensed into a whole under the power of the earth elemental spell, and it was as hard as steel.

What shocked Chen Kai and the others the most was the small door located on the west side of the cellar, which was made of bronze and was only less than 1.7 meters high. However, there are a large number of repeated spell runes and various magic circles built on it, and the most eye-catching thing is the several huge cat-eye gems in the center of the gate, which emit a mesmerizing light.

It's just that although the gems are charming, they are also very frightening, and the anxious Fei Yun directly pressed one hand on the bronze door, but when the others found out, he had already run to the edge of those ** flour piles, and kept grabbing the flour and stuffing it into his mouth, and his mouth was still saying delicious, delicious.

In order to wake him up from his hallucination, Chen Kai slapped him more than a dozen times in a row, and splashed him with water, but it had no effect. It wasn't until the end that he cast more than a dozen steadfast holy words in a row to wake Fei Yun up from his hallucination, but he was still in a daze and didn't know what was going on.

"It's terrifying that just one door can turn people like this, and if you enter it, you won't be completely crazy?" Wang Xuewen looked at Fei Yun who was holding a pig's head face and vomiting on the ground in fear, he was very happy to eat rotten flour just now, but now he vomited it and almost made Fei Yun's intestines almost bleed.

"What now?" Chen Kai looked at Xu Fei, who was checking the bronze gate with a spell probe, and asked, Chen Kai really has no way to deal with this kind of spell-related thing. The spell system is different from the magic system, although they are all displayed according to the rules of the game, but in fact, the changes of spells are far above the magic system. After all, spells are studied by mortals themselves, while magic is given by the gods. Sorcery comes from knowledge, and magic is attributed to piety.

Of course, the player's magic is actually very different from the aboriginal magic spell, after all, the player's magic is much lower in terms of power. After all, players don't have much respect for the gods in the game, and they don't pray for long. Therefore, the player's magic is more reflected in the aspect of fast casting speed, and the power is much lower.

Therefore, even if Chen Kai's steadfast holy words had some effect on these illusions, Chen Kai was not sure that he would be able to study the illusion array on the bronze door, of course, the most important thing was that his own spell knowledge was only level 2 so far, and he had not even learned the simplest little trick.

Xu Fei and He Liwen used the mage's hand to carefully place the spell probe on the bronze door, although their bodies did not touch the door, they could still feel the strange spell fluctuations coming from the door. Strange phantoms appeared on top of the probe, like small living ghosts, constantly shaking and changing there.

These ever-changing shadows did not sway in any way with Chen Kai's breathing, but they kept changing. When those floating shadows transformed into hideous demons, the two spell probes manipulated by Xu Fei and He Liwen exploded into a pile of fine powder with a snap. The two casters who were shocked at the same time all fell to the ground with a scream, clutching their heads and screaming in pain.

At the same time, a faint white light erupted from the bronze door, and a short shadow slowly emerged from the door, wanting to rush towards Chen Kai and them. Looking at the strange-looking but extremely hideous shadow, Chen Kai and the others didn't even think about it before they used their fighting spirit and cast a magic spell.

Chen Yi's aura of divine magic was activated in an instant, but the power of the aura that was constantly spreading did not cause any damage to the phantom, and it was directly rushed in. The spells cast by the others had no effect, whether it was the fireball spell or the arcane magic orb, it was like piercing the fog through the shadow and hitting the wall.

As for the fighting spirit on the other people's bodies, they were directly ignored by that shadow at this moment, and they penetrated through the past in an instant. And the person who was pierced by the phantom didn't even react, and fell directly to the ground. Chen Kai was almost the first to be penetrated by the shadow, and then his eyes went black and he fainted directly.

After half a minute, Chen Kai was kicked out of the game by the system. Of course, this is also his own choice, after all, it is better to stay in the game and sleep in a daze than to discuss the situation in reality. Especially now, when he didn't know the situation at all, Chen Kai hadn't figured out what they had encountered until now.

It's just that every time Chen Kai logs in, what he sees is a kind of birdsong and flowers, or a terrifying and barren area, and the illusion of this scene is shrouded in front of Chen Kai's eyes. No matter how many times he forcibly withdrew, he couldn't wake up from the illusion, let alone teleport to other places through Guò's forced retreat, and he could only watch the environment around him change constantly.

When Chen Kai and the others were all lying under the cellar, the time outside was close to midnight again. The thieves, who had to search hard under the power of the demon mage, finally found Chen Kai and their traces after a whole day of inquiry, and rushed towards the cemetery with a large group of soldiers.

After a long and careful search, they also found this hut that they had never heard of, but when they really couldn't find Chen Kai and them, these thieves and soldiers also walked in with a fluke mentality. As a result, they did not come out again until the next day, and hundreds of soldiers and thieves who led the way disappeared into the desolate cemetery, which made the original terrifying cemetery even more terrifying, and the surrounding residents who knew the news all fled with their belongings in a hurry.

"Is this it?" Standing outside the graveyard, the demon mage looked gloomily at the foul-smelling environment. The periphery of the cemetery is slightly better, at least the inhabitants who live here tend to take care of it regularly, but when you walk to the middle of the cemetery, you can see some exposed rotting corpses.

"Yes, Master Mage," a big thief nodded, standing beside the demon mage, a flattering smile on his face.

"Why didn't I see the room you were talking about?" The demon mage looked at the big thief who was standing beside him nodding his head with a displeased face, and covered his mouth and nose with a white silk scarf.

"My lord, I haven't heard of this room either, but yesterday the kid who led the team finally sent a message that he could see this room at midnight, and I think it might have a lot to do with the disappearance of those soldiers, and I guess there is a big problem with that house" The big thief looked around him and the mage a little frightened, for fear that he would suddenly be in a bad mood and give himself a fireball.

"Really? It's rare to encounter such an interesting thing in such a hellish place," the demon mage put down the silk cloth in his hand, and then squinted his eyes at the fog that gradually filled around him. When the fog cleared, the haunted house that trapped Chen Kai and them slowly appeared in front of the demon mage's eyes, and everyone else, including the big thief, looked at the hut in front of them in horror, as if something terrible was hiding inside.

The demon mage first walked into the hut with graceful steps, and after entering the inside, the first thing he saw was a group of soldiers who had fallen unconscious, followed by Chen Kai and the others who were carried out of the cellar by the soldiers. Of course, there are also soldiers who are unconscious, instinctively wandering around the hut. The corners of the soldiers' mouths were covered with a trace of blood, as if they had just eaten some flesh and blood feast, as for what they were gnawing on. A few hollowed-out corpses in the corner, and the internal organs scattered everywhere, can tell what they ate when they fell to the ground.

"Illusion? I didn't expect that there was still an illusion master hidden in this place where birds don't" The demon mage's eyes swept over the soldiers lying on the ground and the targets of their actions, although he was a little surprised when he saw Chen Kai and them, but then he was immediately attracted by the strange expressions on the faces of the soldiers. Those eyes that opened were all confused like dead bodies, they didn't know what they were doing now, and their whole body was immersed in a dream created by illusion.

"Carry them out first and lock them up," the demon mage said first, pointing to Chen Kai who had fainted on the ground, and then set his eyes on the cellar that had been pried open. The first thing that entered his eyes was a large pile of gray gel, and these gels attached to the wooden board had completely detached themselves from their original position at the moment.

"You guys go down with me, and the rest of them are watching these guys up there," the demon mage glanced at the soldiers around him, and with a single move, he instantly turned the soldiers who had fallen into hallucinations and used the unconscious soldiers on the ground as food.

The faces of the soldier and the great thief who had been spotted by the demon mage turned gray almost instantly, but they immediately turned to deference when they saw the two soldiers who had come to their senses and turned to ashes after screaming in pain. Because they were afraid of the mage, they had had enough of the fickle and manic murderous mage along the way, but the disparity in strength was too great for anyone to resist his orders.

The demon mage led the men slowly down the cellar, and when they entered the cellar, they saw more of the missing soldiers, either holding the corpses on the ground and gnawing wildly, or taking off their armor and sitting there disgustingly. In the corner, at least ten soldiers rolled naked, and their mouths made a disgusting sound that made them blush. Of course, in addition to these, more people fell to the ground unconscious, almost the closer they got to the bronze door, the more unconscious people were, and there were several corpses with frightened expressions.

"It's ...... Hahaha~ Angellöf, I didn't expect you, a goblin illusionist, to put your nest here, worthy of being the guy who can play with souls the most, it really suits my taste" The demon mage carefully checked the magic pattern on the bronze door, and immediately laughed happily.

Then his hand grabbed directly to the ground, grabbed an unconscious soldier directly, and at the same time, he gently pinched a white shadow with one hand, and he pulled it out of the soldier's body. And the big thief and several soldiers standing behind him lost their blood in an instant, and they knew what it was a shadow, it was the soul of a soldier who had fallen to the ground.

"Since you need souls to open it, then I'll feed you with these souls" The demon mage looked at the small bronze door with a hideous face, and then threw the white shadow directly at the small door with one hand. The moment the white soul touched the opal, it immediately sucked the white shadow directly into it like eating noodles, and then a faint glow began to emanate from the bronze door.

"Isn't that enough? So what about these!" Seeing that the bronze door emitted light but did not open, the demon mage who felt that his soul was insufficient reached out to the ground again, and in an instant, two more unconscious soldiers were caught in his hands and then pulled out their souls. Then the souls were thrown into the bronze door by him in the same way, and were absorbed by the huge cat's eye gems.

After absorbing the two souls, the glow on the bronze door was a little stronger again, but the door still showed no sign of opening. Looking at the huge cat's eye gem on the door, the demon mage's face changed, but then greed immediately took over his entire face, and he directly stretched out his finger and pointed it to the ground. He didn't chant any incantations, and all the soldiers who were fingered were slowly drained of their souls.

Large masses of white souls continued to converge on the demon mage's fingertips, and condensed into a white sphere that was pressed heavily by the mage to the door. At least twenty soldiers had lost their souls in this instant, including the bare-crushed soldiers who rolled together and made disgusting sounds. And after these soul-condensed balls of light were pressed to the cat's eye gem, they immediately made the bronze door glow strongly, and this bronze door also slowly opened in the light, revealing a gap.

At the same time, the soldiers standing outside the hut saw what frightened them even more, the logs that had fallen from the tomb hut were slowly flying back towards their original positions, and the whole room was slowly changing. The most striking thing is that the exterior of the cottage slowly changes from dilapidated to clean and new. At the same time, the decaying floor is slowly emitting a white glow, turning into a new floor, and the holes in the floor are constantly being repaired.

The demon mage standing under the cellar naturally didn't pay attention to these things, and at this time, his eyes were completely attracted by the slowly opening bronze door, and at the same time, he kept grasping the unconscious soldiers in his hands. He usually drained their souls, and threw them into the cat's eye gem on the bronze door, and in less than ten minutes, the forty or so soldiers in the cellar who were unconscious were all drained alive and died.

When the demon mage tried to pull his hands back again, he found that there were no living people in the entire cellar except for the big thief who was standing behind him and trembling in terror.

"It's a pity that it would be nice if there were a few more people, the door is almost open, you can go in and explore the way for me," the demon mage shook his hand and said, as for the big thief he ordered, he was directly under his feet, and almost didn't spread on the ground. But soon he stood up under the blood-red eyes of the demon mage, and crawled into the half-open bronze door.

Currian regretted it, he regretted that he had taken the job for the bounty of 10,000 gold coins, but now that he didn't get the money, he was about to hang up. Looking at the soldiers who had their souls drained alive, Kurian was almost scared to pee his pants.

As a result, now Kurian has to risk the unknown to enter this room that has only been opened after devouring dozens of souls, and he is still being forced by that mage. But Kurian couldn't help but enter the room, and he was afraid that the mage would drain his soul directly because of his resistance.

The moment he stepped into the room behind the bronze door, Curion seemed to hear a terrible cry coming from behind him, trying him to turn around. But in the end, he was left with reason and told him not to turn around, because Currian covered his ears and stared straight ahead, and slowly walked into the darkness.

At the same time, the demon mage standing in the cellar looked at Yiqiē in the cellar with his hands, manipulating the corpses on the ground to disassemble them and assemble them into a giant corpse. But a corpse monster without soul energy infusion can only be a useless shell, that is, a toy to be manipulated with.

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, the demon mage couldn't wait any longer, and he wondered if the big thief had found something inside and was going to take it himself. With a wave of his hand, he burned the huge corpse monster to ashes along with the blood on the ground, and then stepped forward to step through the bronze door. But then he stopped again, for he heard a loud scream, and the owner of the cry was the great thief who had walked in.

Hearing the screams, the demon mage raised his palm, and a green flame instantly lit up the world behind the bronze door, and at the same time saw the hapless thief Kurian. And at that moment, the demon mage's eyes also burst out instantly, and he didn't believe what he was seeing, the thing that was stuck in the big thief's body with his claws.
