Chapter 67: Resurrection of Light and Shadow?

After exploration by scouts ahead, they finally discovered the ruins of an ancient city that was half buried by sand.

This is an ancient city from an unknown dynasty. Most of it has been eroded by wind and sand, but one can still see that the architecture contains some Han style.

Du Xiao and Wang Qianyuan decided to rest in this dilapidated ancient city ruins because there was less than half an hour left until sunset.

At least this ancient city still has some broken walls and ruins that can block the cold frost from the Tianshan Mountains.

A bonfire was lit in each of the eight directions of the ancient city, and then everyone else rested within the bonfire area.

The essence of this bonfire is a detection method, which can be learned as long as the contribution level reaches the hunter elite level.

As long as you get close to or pass by a bonfire, the color of the flame will change, and the color of the flame transformed by different monsters is also different.

If beastmen or monsters approach, the flames will turn fiery red; if dark creatures, undead, etc. approach, the flames will turn ghostly green.

Looking down from the sky at the ruins of the ancient city, you can see stars dotted inside the ruins, and piles of bonfires look like bright and beautiful flowers in full bloom.

Shen Yuan, Alechino, Liu Wenwu, Wang Qianyuan and other high-ranking hunters gathered around a campfire.

"It's true that the new generation pushes the old generation forward. Xiao Shen's strength is even stronger than Qin Zhan's back then. I see that Qingtian Hunting House will produce another hunting king in a few years." Wang Qianyuan said with a smile.

Liu Wenwu sneered and said, "It is a foregone conclusion that Shen Yuan will become the Hunter King. I think Xiao Shen can achieve even greater success!"

"Dear seniors, please stop praising me too much." Shen Yuan quickly waved his hands and said.

Although Shen Yuan knew that he was awesome, he couldn't just admit that he was awesome!
Everyone chatted for a while like this, and then all entered a state of meditation.

Only Shen Yuan and Alechino were special. They stared at the stars moving in the sky. The stars were shining brightly and emitting a cool silver glow. A mysterious power was flowing among the stars.

Suddenly, Shen Yuan's ears moved, and he seemed to hear the sound of thunder.

He slowly raised his head and gazed at the sky. The brilliant galaxy was galloping across the sky like a giant dragon, and the Four Symbols were firmly guarding the starry sky.

Wuyun, where does the thunder come from?

Shen Yuan turned his head to look at Alechino, and when he found that her pupils were flashing with a smart light, he knew that she had also heard the strange thunder!
"Xi Lu Lu~~~~~~~~~~~"

Suddenly, the roar of a war horse seemed to break the silence of the night sky, and many hunters were awakened by the sound.

"what happened?"

"I don't know, I think I heard the roar of a war horse!"

The hunter who set up the bonfire method stood up and looked at the bonfires in all directions, and found that there was no fluctuation.

Then he frowned and wondered what had happened.
A flash of cold light suddenly swept across the interior of the ruins. Everyone was forced to close their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, the sky had changed.

The outside of the ancient city ruins is densely populated with demons, and a murderous aura emanates from the group of demons. This murderous aura is like the bleak wind in autumn, which makes people shudder.

Outside the ancient city, a large number of war horses appeared. The fur of those horses looked like burning flames, and there was a faint scarlet light in their eyes.

The soldiers riding on horses were each covered with a mask like that of an evil spirit. Although their faces could not be seen, one could feel the murderous intent in them!
"All troops, line up! Charge! Kill!!"

At the front of the army, there was a soldier with a halberd riding a dragon beast. With his loud shout, the entire army seemed to come alive.

Then the Black Armor Flood mobilized magic under the gaze of the hunters. Their magic was about 70% to 80% stronger under the blessing of the military formation. The terrifying magic meteors rushed into the group of demons. The demons were not to be outdone. The powerful individuals rushed into the military formation and tore the bodies of human mages apart.
However, all this, to the hunters who were resting here for the first time, was like holographic light and shadow. Whether it was the black-armored soldiers or the demons, they were all illusions.

"What's going on?" Shen Yuan asked in a low voice.

"No, I'm not from your world. If you ask me, who should I ask?" Alechino touched her hair and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

"Don't be afraid, this should be a special influence. As the saying goes, lying down late at night listening to the wind and rain, and dreaming of iron horses and frozen rivers, this is exactly what it means!"

It must be that old man Wang Qianyuan is so knowledgeable that he even knows about such a strange sight.

If Mr. Wang hadn't been here, who knows how scared everyone would be.

After hearing the explanation from old man Wang Qianyuan and after word of mouth from other hunters, the hunters as a whole were finally no longer afraid.

Instead, they began to watch the "fighting" outside the ancient city ruins with great interest, because these were things that had happened before, on this land.

It's just been recorded by nature.

The scene outside lasted for about an hour, then began to slowly dissipate, and an expression of regret suddenly appeared on the hunter's face.

Did they think that there would be ancient magic techniques in this record of light and shadow? But it turned out to be just a group of wizards using the most primitive magic to fight against demons!

When the show ended, there was nothing they wanted to see, so they were naturally very disappointed.

But after the light and shadow dissipated, the scene outside seemed as if time had gone back, and the demons that had turned into magical elements evolved back again.

"Hey, are we going to do this again? It's boring, I might as well go to sleep."

The hunters felt bored when they saw the magical element factors that seemed to have dissipated like smoke were restored, and returned to their respective campfires.

However, Shen Yuan, who was in the inner circle, found that the restoration this time seemed a little different. This time only the image of the demon was restored, and the black-armored wizard was empty!

Moreover, the monsters restored this time are more realistic and more imposing, just like the real ones.
Really?

An expression of horror suddenly appeared on Shen Yuan's face.

But before he could be surprised, the tragedy had already happened!
A sand python dragon worm suddenly rushed into the ruins of the ancient city and tore a hunter with his back to it into two halves.

The steaming internal organs scattered all over the ground, half of the person remained on the ground, and the other half was swallowed by the sand python dragon worm.

The sand python dragon worm is a relatively representative monster in the Tarim Desert. This species is distributed in major deserts around the world.

They have the body of a giant python and scales that fit the desert, and thick, hard bone scales protrude from their backs, and their heads are as sharp as those of a dragon.

“This is a real demon!!!”

“Be alert, be alert!!!”

No one could have imagined that the Tarim Desert would be so strange, and the previous light and shadow images actually came alive.

If the sand python dragon worm is real, then the group of demons outside that are eyeing it covetously are all real.

Ah——I can’t tell the difference, I really can’t tell the difference!!!
