[Xiongmen Pass existed long before the establishment of the Zhu Chi Dynasty. It was the only pass from the Western Border to the Central Plains. The walls on both sides of the city pass spanned the desert Gobi. They could not only withstand wars, but also serve as the sacred capital of Luoyi in the past.
The connection with the Western Territory.]
[After the Zhu Chi Empire was established, Emperor Wu moved the capital to Yanjing, the capital, and the name Luoyi as the divine capital ceased to exist.]
[Now that the world has been at peace for a long time, Xiongmen Pass will naturally not be heavily guarded...]
[You can see a few soldiers stationed at the pass and the city wall from a distance. A few fire-worshiping soldiers are wearing black armor and holding swords, patrolling slowly on top of the city.]
[It is somewhat different from what you have heard. According to rumors, Xiongguan Pass, as the pass between the Central Plains and the Western Region, should have an endless stream of caravans coming and going. The long queues at the entrance and exit can be seen from across a mountain. ]
[But now, Xiongmen Pass is lifeless. Except for a few scattered soldiers, there are no people coming and going for business at all at the city gate, and it looks dead and deserted. ]
[The soldiers guarding the pass had a cold expression and dark pupils. They didn’t react when you brothers approached. It wasn’t until you took out the customs clearance certificate that the soldiers accepted it without saying a word, glanced at it and let them go. 】
[The White Elephant Demon next to you feels very awkward and says to you, Junior Brother, why does it feel that the closer it gets to the Central Plains, the more something is wrong with the atmosphere? 】
[Did you, my junior brother, have expected this to happen, so you were cautious and did not fly directly to Luoyi? 】
[You shake your head and look at the garrisoned soldiers carefully. There is a faint dark aura lingering on the lower half of the cheek that is not covered by the black armor helmet. ]
[You raise your head and look at the soldiers on top of the city. From a distance, the soldiers seem to be patrolling normally, but when you get closer, you realize that they are just mechanically stumbling around like walking zombies. 】
[Except for the thick bloodthirsty malice, there is nothing in the eyes of the soldiers...]
After Lin Xun completed the incense of Qingtang City, the level of the Son of Evil's body was rising like a rocket.
Now the level of the Son of Evil has surpassed that of the Executive Officer, and has just exceeded the 200 mark, successfully promoted from 'Follower' to 'Leader'.
Longyuan's next stop was Luoyi, located in the Central Plains. Along the way, he passed some villages and inns, and found that the closer he got to the Central Plains, the deeper the erosion suffered by the people.
At the present Xiongmen Pass, apart from extremely limited intelligence, these soldier monsters only have endless malice.
If he hadn't possessed the body of the 'Son of Evil', and the white elephant demon also had an extremely evil prefix, these monster soldiers would have turned into bloodthirsty demons and pounced on the two of them.
Of course, there were other reasons for Lin Xun's stay at Xiongmen Pass.
According to the records of "Zhu Chi Geography", before the establishment of the Zhu Chi Empire, this pass was not called Xiongmen Pass, but "Longmen Pass".
It is rumored that in ancient times, the evil dragon species fell at this pass. People built its huge remains into bricks and stones to build the "Longmen Pass". After the Zhuchi Empire was established, Emperor Wu regarded the "dragon" as an evil thing, so he built it.
The pass was renamed Xiongmen Pass.
Lin Xun suspected that there were hidden plots and rewards here...
[You put your hands together and said to the leading soldier at the pass, this military master and poor monk is the great protector of Wusi City. He is traveling here and wants to visit the general guarding the pass. Is it possible for you to do it conveniently? 】
[The soldier glanced at you coldly, the malice that had been suppressed for a long time gradually surged in his eyes. The hand holding the handle of the knife at his waist was slightly raised, revealing half of the sharp blade. ]
【Its meaning is obvious, that is to get you out of here.】
[The soldiers all around also showed weird and malicious smiles, staring at you...]
[The White Elephant Demon can't bear this kind of anger. It looks at you, sees you nodding, then laughs evilly, turns its wrist and turns into two lotus hammers. ]
[There was a boom, and the fire suddenly appeared!]
[The charred corpse of the leading soldier flew out, hit the masonry of the city wall and exploded into a ball of blood mist!]
[The White Elephant Demon yelled, if you dare to disobey your Buddha, this will be your fate!]
[Hurry up and let the general here come out to meet you, otherwise it will bloodbath Xiongmen Pass today!]
[The white elephant demon originally thought that this move could suppress a group of soldiers. After all, the leading soldier couldn't even block a single move under its great power. Even if there were thousands of such mortal warrior soldiers, it could kill them all.
net.】
[Unexpectedly, the soldiers around him drew their swords and attacked them without mercy. 】
[The white elephant demon's anger arose from his heart, and the true fire of samadhi on the pair of lotus hammers became even more intense. As the hammers were swung, the soldiers turned into charred corpses. 】
[In a few breaths, the White Elephant Demon eliminated all the soldiers at the pass. 】
[You picked a few relatively complete corpses and did not obtain any useful information after possessing them. The memories of these soldiers are filled with endless malice. ]
[You narrowed your eyes, then flew to the tower and beat the big drum to warn of war...]
['Dong-dong' drums echoed, and soon groups of fully armed fire worshipers poured out of the city.]
[The leader is a man riding a war horse, tall and strong, holding a big halberd...]
[You discovered the ‘evil Xiongmenguan guerrilla general’! 】
[The guerrilla general gathered thousands of soldiers and led the mighty troops towards the pass...]
[From a distance, it saw the dead soldiers stationed on the city top, and the guerrilla general galloping on his horse, pointing the big halberd in his hand at you and the white elephant demon standing on the city top, and shouted "Kill!"]
[Many soldiers followed the general, raised their swords and crossbows and shouted in unison.]
[For a moment, the murderous intention boiled, and the endless evil thoughts turned into turbulent black gas, steaming, and soaring into the sky! 】
[A fierce light flashed in your eyes, and driven by your thoughts, the surging evil thoughts turned into a huge dark claw...]
[The shell skill ‘Evil Invasion Claws’ is activated! 】
[The evil thoughts and black energy in the sky turned into claws and slammed towards the ground!]
[For a moment, the earth trembled, black air waves swept across, the soldiers in the military formation turned on their backs, and the sounds of screams and wails were endless...]
[The black claws slapped the ground repeatedly, killing thousands of soldiers in just a few breaths.]
[You defeated the ‘Evil Xiongmen Pass Infantry’*732, and your experience value increased slightly! 】
[You defeated the ‘Evil Xiongmenguan Crossbowman’*219, and your experience value increased slightly! 】
【You defeated...】
【……】
[In the blink of an eye, only the 'guerrilla general' was left standing on horseback in front of the formation, and behind him were the broken limbs and arms on the ground. 】
Although the skill level of Extremely Evil Invading Demon's Claw is low and its power cannot keep up with the progress, it is more than enough to deal with these miscellaneous fish monsters.
Moreover, this skill can drive the aura of evil thoughts emanating from the mobs, which is equivalent to using the enemy's energy tank to cast the skill. It can be released without consumption, and is quite effective in mowing grass in groups.
Lin Xun glanced at the progress bar on Lord Greedy Wolf Star's panel. Compared with killing villagers' monsters, he would gain much more 'Dangmo Merit' by annihilating these fire-worshiping armies.
After the Son of Evil advanced to the promotion level, he thought about raising the level of Greedy Wolf Star Lord's body, otherwise the skill inheritance of Emperor Yuanwu would be wasted.
But after wiping out several mobs in the villages along the way, Lin Xun gave up on this time-wasting operation.
The 'Demon Merit' given by the villagers' mobs is almost nonexistent. No matter how many you kill, the progress bar cannot be significantly increased. It is really a thankless task.
It is estimated that the body level and body level of the village mobs are too low to meet the minimum requirements for accumulating the magic fortune.
The Fire Worshipers in front of us are good level-up resources, but the number is a bit too small...
[The guerrilla general tightened the reins, and the war horse Xilulu raised its front hooves. It looked back and saw that thousands of soldiers behind it had turned into corpses all over the ground...]
[Its cruel smile froze on its face, and then it came to its senses, turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee and clasped his fists and said loudly, it turned out that the Living Buddha had arrived, and the general was a little excited for a while, which made the soldiers too enthusiastic and wanted to see the Living Buddha.
Calm down.]
"This guy is still somewhat sane. He should be an elite monster. He might know something."
Lin Xun touched his chin and thought to himself.
[You stride forward and come to the guerrilla general. Just as you are about to speak, you see the suppressed evil thoughts in his eyes suddenly burst out, and he holds a halberd and stabs you in the face! 】
[With a sharp look in your eyes, you stretched out your hand and grabbed the blade of the halberd. No matter how red-faced the guerrilla general was and he used all his strength, he still couldn't make the blade advance an inch further. 】
[You sneered and asked, are you satisfied? 】
[The guerrilla general’s eyes became more malicious, he let go of the halberd with a roar, and punched you!]
[You hold the blade and stab it smoothly, and the wooden handle of the euphorbia penetrates into the chest of the guerrilla general, and then pierces into the gravel ground, nailing him to the ground.]
[Looking at the guerrilla general who is still roaring and struggling, you are too lazy to talk nonsense with him. 】
[You reach out from your arms and take out a bowl made of human bones, and point the mouth of the bowl at the guerrilla general. 】
[As it continued to struggle, blood flowed from the penetrating wound on its chest...]
[The moment you put the mouth of the bowl towards it, a drop of dark, viscous blood overflowed from its chest, and was ingested by the magic weapon in the bowl in the blink of an eye. 】
[You used the ‘Miaogabala Bowl of Fun’ to successfully collect the life essence and blood of the ‘Evil Xiongmenguan Guerrilla General’! 】
[‘Guerrilla General’ has become your temporary puppet, you can give him orders at will. 】
[The white elephant demon stepped forward and pulled out the halberd. The guerrilla general knelt down respectfully with his fists clasped. Although there was still malice in his eyes, this malice was not directed at you. 】
[You ask the guerrilla general, is there anything special or special place in this Xiongmen Pass? 】
[The guerrilla general said without hesitation, "Return to the master, no!"
Lin Xun frowned.
Could it be that he made a mistake in judgment and that there were no hidden events at Xionmen Pass?
[You asked again, ‘Xiongmen Pass’ was called ‘Longmen Pass’ in ancient times and had the legendary story of a falling dragon. The guerrilla generals have been stationed here for many years, but haven’t they found anything related to the legend? 】
[The guerrilla general nodded without thinking and said, back to the master, there used to be an underground palace related to the evil dragon god. 】
Lin Xun couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, he asked you if you didn't have it just now, and now you have it again?
It seems that although this guerrilla general is somewhat sane, his mind is still a little unclear.
[The guerrilla general said loudly that the master was asking if there were any unusual things in Xiongmen Pass, and the underground palace related to the evil dragon god was outside the pass, so the last general answered no.]
【……】
Following the guerrilla general's narration, Lin Xun roughly figured out what was going on.
Falling dragons did happen in ancient times, but the dead dragon demon did not fall exactly at the pass, but a few hills away.
When the ancients built Longmen Pass, they peeled off the skin of the dragon demon, picked off the keel and built it into the city wall pass...
Although the dragon demon has been dead for many years and his body has been wiped out in ashes, a strange phantom was left behind at the place where he fell.
That mirage will appear every once in a while, and the mirage is different every time it appears. Sometimes it is a cave, sometimes it is a pavilion, sometimes it becomes a market...
People who enter it are like ghosts hitting the wall, in a trance and confusion, and it takes a long time to get out of it.
The objects in it are all illusions, and everything seen is false. At first, the illusions appeared more frequently and lasted for a longer time. But later, the illusions became more unstable and seemed to be about to dissipate. They would only appear after a year and a half.
once.
As of now, this illusion has not appeared for several years, and even if it does appear, it can only last for a day at most.
The guerrilla general has been stationed here for more than ten years, and the last time he saw the illusion was seven years ago.
At that time, a rare heavy rainstorm fell from the sky. When the rainstorm began to subside, the mirage suddenly appeared, taking on the appearance of a secluded underground palace.
After hearing the soldiers' report, the guerrilla general led a large number of soldiers into it. As a result, he spent most of the day exploring without seeing anything special, and finally returned disappointed.
After returning to Xiongmen Pass, the illusion disappeared and has never appeared again.

[The White Elephant Demon approaches you and whispers, Junior Brother, from what this guerrilla general said, the falling dragon is probably the legendary ‘mirage dragon’. 】
[It is recorded in ancient books that a mirage looks like a chilong, has horns and ears, and has a red mane on its back. It breathes into a tower, and when it rains, it can be seen, and its fat and wax can be used as a candle. The fragrance can be smelled a hundred steps away, and the smoke comes out.
Above them, they are all in the shape of pavilions...]
[According to legend, Mirage is also a descendant of the Dragon God, but he is not the first direct descendant among the nine sons of the Dragon.]
[You think for a moment and tell the guerrilla general, "Lead the way."]
[Then the white elephant demon set up the magic cloud and flew over several mountains in the direction pointed by the guerrilla general, arriving at the place where the dragon fell in ancient times. ]
[The illusion of the underground palace that the guerrilla general saw seven years ago appeared here.]
[This place is a low valley, and the surrounding hills are not too high. As far as the eye can see, the land is completely barren and there is only a patch of sand, gravel and weeds, and there is nothing worth paying attention to. 】
[You didn’t see the so-called illusion. It’s probably the wrong time.]
[Are you going to try your luck here and continue to wait for the illusion that has not appeared for many years, or are you going to leave here and not do the useless work of waiting stupidly? 】
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and ignored the options of the underworld game.
[You turn around and ask the guerrilla general, is every vision preceded by heavy rain or drastic changes in weather? 】
[The guerrilla general thought for a while and replied, back to the master, the previous phantoms appeared so long ago that the general did not know it, but the phantom seven years ago did suddenly appear after a heavy rain. 】
[You look at the white elephant demon next to you and ask, can senior brother control the wind and rain? 】
[The white elephant demon raised its head and smiled confidently, why is this so difficult!]
