144: Mysterious Village

As brilliant lights flashed, the coordination between the seven of them became increasingly tacit.

Mainly, the six of them would act, with Su Bai providing support from the side, occasionally having the Underworld Demonic Wolf lend a hand.

One by one, terrifying monsters let out pained cries, collapsing to the ground and leaving behind a pile of equipment.

Upon arriving in this world, the Underworld Demonic Wolf felt as if it had returned home, its aura continuously surging.

Su Bai even suspected that if this little fellow stayed here long enough, it might directly break through and advance, perhaps even without the need for advancement materials.

As the last monster fell, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Before them, a expanse of white mist appeared, enveloping the entire area.

This area should be the central zone, with extremely dense white mist permeating all around.

This mist was very peculiar, effectively completely isolating these two worlds.

"Damn it, we're finally almost at the core area."

Looking at the core area now within reach, everyone couldn't help but sigh in relief.

Along the way, the monsters they encountered were incredibly diverse.

Besides the Giant Spirit Race, there were also the Dwarf Race, the Elf Race, the Centaur Race... various strange and exotic races, so numerous they were uncountable.

However, there was one constant: the ranks of these races were at least Demigod or above, and all of them were vassals of gods.

"Do you think this battlefield is a Divine-Demonic battlefield? A great war between the Divine Race and the Demonic Race took place here back then?"

Gazing at the devastated central area before them, Huoyan muttered to himself.

They couldn't imagine what kind of great war this was; every inch of this battlefield exuded a terrifying aura, with dreadful malevolent energy soaring to the heavens, and countless living beings buried here.

And this was merely one aspect of the battlefield; the battles in other places were no less intense.

"Impossible. In a great war between the Divine Race and the Demonic Race, there would at least be some demonic energy lingering here!

In this space, we haven't sensed even a trace of demonic energy, which indicates that the opponent of the gods was not the Demonic Race, but possibly other, more powerful beings."

Qing Wei shook her head immediately upon hearing this.

She had entered the Demon Abyss before and was very familiar with the aura of the Demonic Race.

"Why worry so much? Let's just go in and see."

With that, Su Bai led everyone directly into the mist before them.

After passing through the mist, they found themselves in a place filled with the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

"Am I seeing things? What kind of place is this?"

"How did it even manage to conjure up birdsong and fragrant flowers?"

"I really don't understand, I don't understand at all."

Everyone was stunned by the scene before them.

The scene before their eyes was a quiet, peaceful small mountain village.

From the lush green forest in the distance came the chirping of birds.

The setting sun cast its light upon this tranquil mountain village.

The gurgling water flowed down the terraced fields, giving a sense of peaceful serenity.

"The path behind us is gone?"

Gold Armor suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked behind them, their expressions subtly changing.

The layer of white mist they had passed through was gone, replaced by endless terraced fields, as if the white mist they had just traversed was all fake, all an illusion.

"This place is too eerie; I'm afraid there's danger."

Mu Yan narrowed her eyes, tugged on Su Bai's sleeve, and whispered.

As a Fated Master, Mu Yan was privy to all matters.

However, upon entering this area, she found that all her abilities had become ineffective.

This space before them was completely independent of heaven and earth.

"Don't worry, I'm here for everything."

At this moment, Su Bai took Mu Yan's hand and said softly.

Just then, a white figure appeared in everyone's line of sight, immediately drawing their attention.

"There's someone there?"

"Am I seeing things? There's actually someone in this place?"

"This is beyond ridiculous. It's ridiculous's mom opening the door for ridiculous, it's so ridiculously home. How can there be someone in this place?"

Everyone looked at the figure dressed in white robes, their faces revealing a hint of disbelief, and they spoke one after another.

"It might not necessarily be a person. Let's go, let's see what kind of trick this one is playing."

Su Bai led the people beside him and walked towards the distant figure.

When they arrived at the small mountain village, they discovered that it had only one entrance, and beyond that were continuous rows of houses.

These houses were interconnected, built with paths of bluestone slabs.

"How rare, to actually meet humans here?"

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."

An old man dressed in white robes suddenly appeared at the village entrance, smiled at everyone, and spoke softly.

The old man before them had the hair of a crane and the face of a child, possessing an ethereal aura that made one feel incredibly profound, subtly and perfectly integrated with this world.

"Little friend, if you keep staring, it will be a bit impolite."

"Your eyes are truly special."

Just then, the old man suddenly spoke.

At these words, Su Bai's expression subtly changed.

He hadn't expected this old man to be able to discern the true nature of his Illusion Breaking Divine Eye; he truly had some tricks up his sleeve.

"Elder, why are you here alone? Is it just you in this place?"

Su Bai looked at the old man before him, chuckled, and spoke.

"Of course not. Didn't you see all these people accompanying me here? They've always been with me."

The old man heard this, a faint smile appearing on his face, and he pointed behind him, suddenly speaking.

At these words, a chill ran down everyone's spines.

There was no one else in this place!

"As the saying goes, 'Is it not delightful to have friends coming from afar?' I have prepared some tea here; please come and have a taste."

Looking at Su Bai and the others before him, a calm smile flashed across the old man's face, and he said serenely.

"Then we shall not decline."

Su Bai nodded and followed behind the old man.

"Qing Wei, this old man doesn't seem like a normal person at all. Are you sure you want to go on this adventure with him?"

Raging Wind's eyes held a hint of worry.

The appearance of such a small village in this place was already strange, and now they were going to enter the village; wasn't that just seeking death?

"It's too late to leave now."

"And I suspect that the exit of the secret realm is in this small village. If we want to leave, we must pass through this secret realm."

Qing Wei surveyed the undulating houses, narrowed her eyes, and murmured to herself.
