Chapter 251 Possession
Three days later——
The canyon war, which is comparable to a meat grinder, is still going on. As the tug-of-war becomes increasingly intense, more and more troops are being deployed by both Wu and Shu. Up to now, the total number of troops has reached more than five digits. In almost every corner of the three routes, there are traces of fighting, and the ground has long been dyed red with blood.
At this stage, the soldiers no longer had any fear or fatigue. All they had was bloodthirsty animal instincts and endless hatred caused by the loss of their relatives, friends and comrades.
But as time passed, the balance of victory was indeed slowly tilting towards the Kingdom of Shu.
At least that's what Luna thinks.
Because Wu's line-defending hero Zhou Yu was killed, the enemy's middle lane was vacant for three whole days. So in these three short days, Luna almost killed her way to the enemy's second tower in the middle lane with a crushing momentum.
Although the Wu soldiers who came to support them also fought desperately, in front of the supreme hero, especially in front of a hero like Luna who has a strong ability to clear the line of soldiers, these fragile lives built up a line of defense, after all, it was just a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Boom!
With a loud noise like a bolt from the blue, the earth shook and trembled, and the second tower in the middle of Wu State was conquered by Shu State.
In the dusty ruins, Luna knelt down and picked up the second energy crystal. Holding the precious cold crystal in her hand, the girl's fair face did not show any joy. Instead, she turned around and looked at the mess around with a look of pity.
Here, she could hear the painful screams of the disabled soldiers, and the grief and cries of those who had lost their lives. She saw a female magic soldier with a broken arm, holding the body of her lover, hiding in a corner, praying quietly and crying silently. She could also see the wounded melee soldiers, in a pile of mixed corpses and blood, screaming like headless flies and desperately looking for their missing friends.
Every time she participated in the Canyon War, Luna always felt unbearable when she saw these tragic scenes, but even so, she could do nothing to help. After all, this is how the world is. The rules have continued for thousands of years and no one can break them.
"Let's end this war quickly. This kind of war is too unfair to the soldiers."
With this thought in mind, just when Luna was about to make a concerted effort to break through the Wu Kingdom's high ground, a familiar and surprising voice suddenly came from the wind.
"Can you hear me? If you can, please come to the river immediately. Something has happened to Wang Yao."
Then, there was a soft ding sound, and in the upper left corner of Luna's vision, in the middle of the river on the small canyon map, a small circular crosshair mark appeared.
This series of events happened so fast that Luna was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. However, her first reaction was not to be shocked by the other party's identity, but to nervously reply: "What's wrong with Ayao?!"
But the other party did not respond, leaving the silver-haired girl alone and instantly confused.
Something happened to him? What on earth happened?!
Without any hesitation, Luna, who was worried and confused, gritted her teeth, turned back to the soldiers and shouted something that regular heroes would never say: "Everyone retreat to the first tower and reorganize, and stay where you are!"
Then he spun around and activated his ultimate move, transforming into a brilliant white light that shot straight into the sky and rushed towards the unknown canyon river at lightning speed.
After a rapid flight and trek, Luna arrived in half an hour, a journey that should have taken half a day. However, as soon as she landed from mid-air in the strange valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, when she looked up, she saw a terrifying figure of extremely large size!
"Demon species?!" Luna's face turned pale, and then out of instinct, she drew out the rune sword.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind the seemingly extremely dangerous demon, stopping her half-activated skill in time.
"Don't be nervous, it's 520, no ill will towards us."
As Luna looked slightly surprised, Zhao Yun slowly walked out from behind Tyrant 520.
"Who is she?" Tyrant 520 asked Zhao Yun with its neck tilted. It really didn't like the aura of the purple sword in the female hero's hand. It seemed that the souls of many of its people were trapped in it.
"Friend." After responding, Zhao Yun walked towards Luna, and Luna hurriedly came up to him, seeming to have completely forgotten to be shocked by the fact that Tyrant 520 could actually speak.
"Brother Zhao? Is it really you? What happened? Where's A Yao?"
"Don't get excited." Zhao Yun signaled Luna to calm down, then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was too careless. I didn't expect that there was still the breath of the ancient demon species inside, and I didn't expect that he, who has always been calm and steady, would be affected so easily. I'm afraid it was the evil will of the ancient demon species that infinitely expanded the desires and hatred that he has always hidden deep in his heart in his subconscious. I tried to convince him, but he just wouldn't listen."
"What are you talking about? What evil thoughts are you having? What happened to A Yao?!" Seeing Zhao Yun's solemn look that didn't seem like he was joking, Luna suddenly became anxious, and even her voice suddenly became louder because of excitement.
"You should go in and take a look yourself." Zhao Yun turned around, pointed at the cave entrance on the cliff at the bottom of the valley, and whispered, "Ayao has been in that cave for three days and three nights. He doesn't eat, drink water, or sleep. He seems to have become a completely different person. He only listens to you. No matter what, please make sure to get him out of that dirty place."
Luna looked up at the river valley shrouded in strange purple mist. She stopped talking and didn't blame Zhao Yun. Instead, she bent her knees and jumped lightly. After a few jumps on the mountain wall, she accurately rushed into the cave with a faint golden light. "What's wrong? Why are you all so nervous all of a sudden?" Tyrant 520 asked while lying on the river with his bloody mouth wide open and yawning out of boredom.
Zhao Yun glanced at 520 and said with a complicated expression: "Let me tell you a story."
"Great! Is it scary? Is it thrilling? Will it make people terrified when they think about it carefully?!" Tyrant 520 suddenly became interested and stared at Zhao Yun with wide eyes.
"No, it's just an old story with a moral." Zhao Yun said slowly.
"A long time ago, there was a dragon living in the mountains near a village. Every year, the dragon would ask the village to sacrifice a virgin, year after year. There would always be brave young men or warriors who went into the depths of the mountains to fight the dragon, but they never came back. That year, another warrior set out, and a man followed him secretly out of curiosity. In the dragon's cave full of jewels, the warrior fought the dragon for several rounds, and finally found a flaw, stabbed the dragon's vital point with the sword, and successfully killed the dragon. When the follower was about to show up, he saw the warrior who was slumped next to the dragon's corpse, panting and grabbing the endless jewels at hand. At that time, the crazy light of desire and greed slowly flashed in his eyes that had been firm all his life. Finally, he slowly grew scales, a tail and horns, and became a new dragon."
"Uh, what do you mean? Could it be that you are the one who is secretly following the warrior?" Tyrant 520 only learned human language, but it did not learn the essence of human fables.
In response to 520's question, Zhao Yun did not say anything. He just turned his head and looked at the cave entrance on the mountain wall, his brows furrowed all the time.
After a long time, with an inaudible sigh, he raised his hand slightly and pressed it to his ear.
".It's me, come to the canyon."
As soon as she entered the cave, Luna, who was originally extremely anxious, was suddenly stunned when she looked at the scene in front of her!
Because at this moment, her clear and beautiful silver eyes were instantly reflected by the mysterious golden light in the cave into a dazzling and pure golden color. That was -
The light emitted by countless gold coins shining against each other!
A terrifying amount of gold coins.
It can be said to be an endless ocean of gold coins, covering the entire field of vision, covering this huge and vast cave before one's eyes!
In this world, there are probably few people who can see such a spectacular sight, and even fewer who can withstand such temptation! Even though Luna is a hero, she was inevitably affected by it and fell into a state of extreme shock and stupor.
"Well!!"
But only a moment later, Luna suddenly groaned in pain. After she came to her senses from the shock of the sea of gold coins, she immediately covered the lower half of her face with her hands in disgust.
"strangeness."
This cave was extremely depressing, and the air was very thin, making people doubt whether ordinary humans could stay in this cave for an hour. But what made people even more chilled was that there seemed to be a corrupt and evil ancient aura here, like a hideous beast lurking invisibly in this cave!
"It" seems to have been staring at the intruders with a mocking and dangerous look, and secretly and continuously corroding the intruders' minds and spirits.
Luna raised her eyebrows slightly, then forced herself to calm down and stepped firmly into the golden ocean.
Click--click--
The black knee-high combat boots sank deeply into the sea of gold coins. Every step he took felt like walking in a quagmire, and his steps were extremely heavy.
Luna became more and more frightened as she walked. Judging from her feeling, the depth of the pile of gold coins must be at least five meters, otherwise there would be no such effect!
But these countless gold coins, which were enough to drive ordinary people crazy or even lose their minds, had no attraction or temptation at all to this girl.
This is actually a corrupt and evil place that only those with extremely strong minds and pure hearts can set foot in!
Although it seems that she succeeded by accident, this simple girl's desire for material things is not high, because for her, eating delicious food every day, having a warm place to live, and being accompanied by loved ones are her highest pursuits in life, and these are fully within her ability to achieve with her noble status.
Therefore, the ocean of gold coins that was entangled with some evil thoughts did not have much actual negative impact on Luna, but it also made her more uneasy. Faintly, she seemed to begin to understand something.
In this way, Luna walked alone, looking around for a long, long time. When she was about to reach the deepest part of the cave, a black silhouette covered with "barbs" appeared in her eyes, forming a sharp contrast with the dazzling sea of gold coins.
Luna was slightly startled.
At the same time, the hoarse and terrifying whispering sound began to slowly enter Luna's ears and echoed in this empty and depressing cave.
