Chapter 223 The sun will shine after the rain
"Misty Stone Forest?" This is another unfamiliar word to everyone. They grew up in Wanjing Country and have seen many strange secret places, but this Misty Stone Forest...
"Interesting." After listening to Lan Ning's description, everyone couldn't help but show interest.
They had seen fog before, but this kind of stone forest filled with white poisonous barriers was the first time they had heard of it.
"I was confined to the highest mountain in the misty stone forest. There were strange birds all around me, and various ancient beasts were lurking at the foot of the mountain. Even around me were the spider women sent by Mo He and his men." Lan Ning was held in Xuan Heng's arms, and he told the story of his experience in the Thin Line Sky bit by bit.
The five people followed Lan Ning in silence, listening to her talk about those strange creatures.
A half-human, half-spider woman, a puppet who only obeys orders.
A strange bird with a weird appearance that only knows how to fly but dares not approach Lan Ning.
What else... those strange and ignorant fish that live in the darkest and bottomless pool of water.
Those were creatures they had never encountered before, and they sounded quite curious.
"Come to think of it, those strange creatures were probably in the dense forest outside the entrance to the Thin Line Sky just now." Xuan Mo thought of the strange creatures in the dense forest. Those things obeyed Lan Ji's orders, which should have prevented them from getting out of the dense forest.
Xuan Mo couldn't help but look at Lan Ning who was leaning on Xuan Heng's arms, "I've always wondered if you were with us at that time."
So those weird guys didn't do anything to them.
Otherwise, even if they could successfully enter the narrow gap and then face the ancient beasts in the illusion, they would probably be in great danger.
Lan Ning was stunned, her expression a little strange, because in her impression, ordinary people could not see her soul leaving her body.
Of course, she couldn't explain why Lan Ji could see her so many years ago.
"Yes." Lan Ning recalled what happened that day, "But you can't see me, so I can only go and warn those ancient beasts."
She admitted it openly.
However, because of what Xuan Mo mentioned, she thought of another reason that could explain this matter.
Perhaps the reason they can see themselves is because they possess the same power.
As for Xuan Mo...perhaps it was because his originally weak body was nourished by Lan Ning's power, so Xuan Mo was much better than others in sensing her soul.
I just felt that she might exist, but I wasn't sure.
"So, we are luckier." Xuan Mo couldn't help but laugh.
I'm also happy that Lan Ning cares about me.
Listening to the conversation between the two, the remaining people understood why Xuan Mo was in a daze after walking out of the jungle. Did he sense Lan Ning's presence?
When they entered the dangerous area, Lan Ning was also trying to protect them.
"......" The smile on Xuan Heng's face deepened.
He knew that his little darling would not want them to die.
Xuan Heng glanced at the even more desolate environment around him. He still found it incredible. There were many people of noble birth among that group of rebels. How could they be willing to stay here?
The barren mountains, yellow sand, and lonely white fog make people feel terrified no matter where they look.
This kind of bare place doesn't make people want to live there any longer.
It's really not easy to endure for several months.
"They have the nerve to call a place like this the new capital that surpasses Wanjing Kingdom. No wonder they have to capture Wanjing." Xuan Heng laughed unceremoniously, but he thought of Wanjing Kingdom's deployment and patted Lan Ning's cheek gently.
"Obviously they don't want to waste this energy." Xuan Mo smiled. At this point, he remembered another story that Lan Ning had told him a long time ago. "Of course, they may also feel that the original Wanjing should belong to them. Their rebellion is just to take back what belongs to them."
Something that belongs to you?
Lan Ning paused, and she seemed to gradually understand some things.
The deeper she went into the narrow gap, the more strange and familiar auras she could sense. Those guys who were observing secretly but had low IQs were all ancient beastmen.
The reason for this is probably because these guys are... inbred.
Because he was not very useful, Lan Ji left him outside the narrow passage as a cannon fodder guard.
Perhaps she herself had wondered why the ancient beast tribe had become what it was now, but she had never thought about the side effects of inbreeding, so she tried her best to suppress the reproduction of the beast tribe.
With her own blood.
But Lan Ning had never heard of any beastman being controlled by Lan Ji.
"Wanjing Kingdom was built brick by brick by the Beastmen." Lan Ning said silently, "It doesn't mean that it belongs to the Ancient Beastmen just because it was founded by the Ancient Beastmen."
If it weren't for the friction between them over the years, perhaps they could still coexist peacefully.
"However, the strength of the ancient beast tribe cannot be underestimated." Lan Ning couldn't help but worry. She had no experience in war, but she also knew that there was strength in numbers.
The biggest drawback of the beastmen is their small number. Even if they have superior abilities, they will die sooner or later if they are defeated by the ancient beastmen.
Lan Ning felt nervous as he counted the sneaky auras nearby. There were already quite a few of them here, so how many more would sneak into Wanjing Kingdom?
They need to hurry.
Lan Ning looked around at the surrounding environment, trying hard to think of the direction where Mo He might appear.
But she didn't. Not to mention Mo He, she didn't even sense the breath of a spider.
Is he dead?
Lan Ning prayed silently. Although she didn't really want to deal with the people of the Ancient Beast Tribe, since it was related to her mission, she sincerely hoped that Mo He would find a good place to hide and wait for her to find him.
With worry in their hearts, they walked for an unknown amount of time before finally reaching the mountain that Lan Ning was familiar with.
There were white bones everywhere at the foot of the mountain, and there was a faint smell of blood. In a corner, Lan Ning saw the skeleton of the strange bird that she was suspected to have used, but she did not find any trace of Mo He.
Lan Ning looked up at the mountain and said, "This is it. If we go up from here, we can reach the place where Lan Ji is doing experiments. Maybe Mo He will be there."
All Spider-Women originate from that place.
"Let's go." The group made some preparations at the foot of the mountain, and then rode the white crane straight to the top of the mountain.
In this gloomy and dark land, they rode on a white crane and broke through the clouds. The moon hanging high in the sky carried the stars with it, and they saw an isolated house standing on the land right in front of them.
And around that house, there are many...monsters.
"Half human, half beast." Xuan Mo finally understood what those spider women Lan Ning was talking about. "Spider women... a very appropriate description."
Lan Ning nodded. "But their destructive power is very strong. Don't act rashly after you go down."
She spoke softly, but her eyes couldn't help but focus, looking for the shadow of Mo He from those spider women.
