Ancient God Evolver

Chapter 76 The Mountain Gate and the Shadow

It's eerily quiet here, with no chirping of birds or insects, and no breeze rustling the leaves.

Except for the weird-looking forest trees, there are no other creatures to be seen.

Among the rugged mountain roads, the red light on the side of the road overlaps with the bright moon in the sky, falling on the gray stone slabs, making it look extraordinarily gloomy.

Gu Ning held her breath, walked gently, and walked slowly, making her walking sound as quiet as possible.

Being in such an environment, even he felt extremely terrified.

In comparison, he would rather face enemies like Sword Demon and Qingyangzi than let him explore the path alone in this dark mountain forest.

The ice flames on the body's surface burned, condensing wisps of ice mist in the air, leaving a pale trace wherever it passed.

A bunch of hexagonal snowflakes fell from the sky, covering the muddy gray-black land, covering the dark earth with a layer of silver.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Gu Ning always felt like someone was peeking at him from behind.

"Something always feels wrong."

Occasionally, I looked back and saw that the ice mist left by the journey was frozen in the air, without any trace of damage.

If there is a creature following behind, it will inevitably collide with the surrounding ice and fog, or it will crush the snowflakes on the ground outside the road, and I will be aware of it immediately.

But now there was nothing unusual, which made him a little confused.

But his super-powerful perception is absolutely unmistakable. There must be some unknown existence behind him peeking at him, but he can't detect it.

It's useless to think too much now, I can only get out of this area as soon as possible to find more clues.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the trees on both sides gradually became sparse and the view became wider.

The red light not far ahead has reached its end, and a remote mountain gate appears in front of us.

The wooden door was riddled with holes and covered with dense spider webs. Strangely, not a single spider was seen.

Through the ajar door, Gu Ning could clearly see the old stairs behind, which were covered with fallen leaves. It seemed that no one had cleaned them for a long time.

There is a brown stone pier half a man's height beside it, with several large twisted characters written in bright red blood, and the words "Silent Hill" can be vaguely seen.

"silent Hill?"

It was a place he had never heard of before, so Gu Ning didn't pay too much attention to it, but looked at the mountain gate solemnly.

What he saw through the ajar wooden door was an old staircase that reached the sky. But when Gu Ning looked around from here, he saw that in the wasteland for several miles around, only the mountain gate was located here. It was extremely weird.

For a moment, he wasn't sure whether to move on.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Ning stepped forward, pushed open the dilapidated mountain door, and walked in.

It's useless to retreat. If you want to leave this weird place, you can only bite the bullet and search for more clues.

"Oh!"

As soon as he stepped in, the wooden door behind him slammed shut.

Gu Ning was startled, and when he looked back, he saw that the wooden door had long since disappeared, the trees behind him had disappeared, and there was only an endless staircase that spread from the bottom of the mountain to this place.

The place below was shrouded in gloomy clouds and mist, and it was pitch black, like a devouring black abyss.

"I have no choice but to walk all the way to darkness!"

Turning his head to look at the top of the mountain, there are layers of stairs extending upwards, beyond the horizon at a glance, deep into the dark clouds, like spreading in the sky.

Just looking at it can make one despair.But Gu Ning was not one to give up lightly. He jumped up, his figure flashed, and turned into a blue afterimage and rushed up. He was extremely fast, and he climbed hundreds of steps in just the blink of an eye.

The surface of the body burned with ice flames, leaving behind blossoming ice crystal snowflakes wherever it passed.

This was used by him to mark the road section, so as to avoid encountering ghosts hitting the wall without realizing it, so he put up road signs in advance.

I don't know how much time passed, but the long stone steps still seemed to have no end, which made Gu Ning feel extremely irritated.

Just when he was about to stop and think about countermeasures, a terrifying black figure appeared from the steps like a ghost, holding a huge black scythe and swinging it.

The blade on the sickle shone with cold light, showing a strange black light. The space was torn wherever it passed, and a huge hole was cut out.

"not good!"

Gu Ning's pupils shrank, and the black sickle that easily cut through space made him feel the breath of death.

If he is hit, he will probably be cut in half. Even with bloody power, it is extremely difficult to recover from such injuries.

With a thought in his mind, a blue ice flower suddenly condensed under his feet.

Gu Ning stepped hard, and the iceflakes shattered and turned into sharp fragments that rushed towards the black figure, setting off strong winds and ear-piercing screams.

The body took the opportunity to jump back and avoid the terrifying attack.

With the help of the two ice flowers under his feet, he hung above the void, raised his hand, and the overwhelming cold air descended on the world. Blossoms of ice crystal snowflakes descended from the sky, and ice crystal spears condensed from the void, piercing the sky, With a sharp whistling sound, it attacked the black figure.

"Zi!"

With a stroke of the black scythe, a terrifying black abyss appeared in the void ahead. The fragments formed by the broken ice flowers and the ice crystal spears were submerged into the black abyss, without causing any movement.

The snowflakes falling from the sky turned into sharp murderous blades, blowing up a murderous aura under the strong wind, but they were still blocked by the black abyss and could not get any closer to the black figure.

Although Gu Ning didn't know how the space here compared with the space outside.

But he knew that if he was hit by such a weapon that could tear apart space, his physical body would definitely not be able to resist it.

What's going on, why is there such a terrifying thing in just the third level of test?

The black figure was completely shrouded in darkness. No matter how you looked, you could only see an illusory figure, as if it had no entity at all.

The black figure looked up, revealing a pair of empty eyes.

Just when Gu Ning thought it was about to attack again, he found that its figure faded away and disappeared into the void.

"What kind of monster is that?"

Gu Ning was a little frightened and stayed where she was without moving, but thought quietly.

Judging from the situation just now, it seems that the black figure didn't take the initiative to fight with him, and left quickly after just a sneak attack.

I don't know if it's because of its weak body and fear of confronting him, or because of the mechanism of this third level.

If it's the first situation, that's fine. Although the sickle in its hand is extremely terrifying, as long as you're careful, you still have a chance to kill it.

If it is the second situation, it is relatively bad, which means that I can only be cautious along the way, be alert at all times, and be wary of possible fatal attacks.

"call!"

Exhaling a breath of cold air, Gu Ning glanced up at the stairs to the sky, flashed, and continued to run upward.

But within a radius of tens of meters with him as the center, everything was a land of ice and snow.
