Dark Girl

Chapter 512 Dark Girl

Qin Mu retracted his head and looked around. If he had not broken the rules of Daxu and had not been forced by the strange beasts in the ruins, he would not have rashly entered the darkness.

He never imagined that there would be a day when he would step into darkness. The feeling of stepping into darkness personally was completely different from relying on the protection of a stone statue or a box.

He felt as if he had merged into the darkness, like a fish in water, adapting to it in harmony with it, and he himself was a part of the darkness.

The darkness in his eyes was no longer pure darkness, but hazy like fog.

"This is not real darkness, but a strange substance."

Qin Mu was surprised. He had always been very curious about the darkness in Daxu, but he was unable to enter the darkness due to his low cultivation level. Moreover, even if he had enough strength to enter the darkness, he probably wouldn't be able to discover the secrets of the darkness, because god-like strongmen like the village chief and Xing An would force the darkness back and prevent it from getting close.

Pushing back the darkness makes it difficult to discover the truth behind it.

Qin Mu blended into the darkness, making it easier for him to discover what darkness really is.

The village chief once speculated that the darkness in Daxu was not real darkness, but another world overlapping with Daxu, which the village chief called the Dark World.

Afterwards, the village chief discovered that there was not just one dark world in Daxu, but multiple dark worlds.

He also called Fengdu the dark world.

However, as Qin Mu got to know Fengdu better, he discovered another secret: Fengdu could indeed be called the Dark World, but Fengdu should only be a corner of the Dark World. The world where Fengdu was located was Youdu.

Youdu is one of the dark realms in the Great Ruins.

Youdu and Fengdu were both moving, constantly changing their positions, and did not completely cover Daxu. What completely covered Daxu should be another dark world.

Now, Qin Mu stepped into the darkness, and he discovered another truth about the darkness of Daxu: darkness is some kind of strange and wonderful substance.

"I entered another world from the Daxu Cliff and found that the day and night in that world were reversed, while the day and night in Daxu were reversed. So I made a bold guess."

Qin Mu's eyes flickered as he recalled what he had seen and guessed in the golden desert.

That world was the Great Ruins of the Shanghuang era where he went to escape from Xing'an, a golden desert. There was also a distinction between night and day in the desert, but it was just the opposite of the night and day in the Great Ruins.

Therefore, Qin Mu guessed that the darkness came from the Daxu of the Shanghuang era. When the sun set, the darkness flowed through the cracks from the Shanghuang Daxu to the Kaihuang Daxu. The Shanghuang Daxu became daytime, and the Kaihuang Daxu became darkness. When the sun rose, the darkness flowed back to the Shanghuang Daxu through the cracks.

The two ruins formed an hourglass, and the darkness was the sand in the hourglass, flowing into each other.

This is his guess.

However, he was being hunted by the Star Bear at that time, and only Pangong Tso was nearby, so he did not express this speculation.

And now, he was in darkness and found that darkness was like some strange substance, which confirmed his guess.

"If we block the cracks in the cliffs that run from north to south, can we keep the darkness inside Shanghuang Ruins? Then there will be no more darkness invading Kaihuang Ruins from now on?"

Qin Mu blinked his eyes and felt that this method was feasible, but whether it would succeed was unknown.

Moreover, the cliff is so long and there are many cracks, more than just one world, so how to block it is the biggest problem.

"Blocking is not the best way to solve the problem. The best way to solve the problem is to understand the nature of darkness and eliminate this darkness that can devour other lives."

Qin Mu carefully observed the dark matter. This matter was like fog, visible but without substance. He could see particles in the darkness. These black particles were visible but without substance and could pass through the skin.

"Strange matter!"

Qin Mu was surprised. He mobilized a bit of his vital energy and used it to fix a part of the dark matter in the air. His palm passed through the fixed dark matter without any sense of hindrance, and he did not feel that he touched anything.

"What exactly is this substance? What are its properties?"

Qin Mu was thinking when suddenly Long Qilin's nervous voice came from the ruins: "Master, are you still alive?"

The voice seemed far away, as if it came from a thick wall. Qin Mu said loudly, "Don't worry, he's still alive. I'll feed you tomorrow morning."

"oh."

Long Qilin responded and said defensively, "I'm not worried about breakfast, I'm worried about the leader's safety. Since the leader is fine, I'll go to sleep. The leader will be back after playing for a while, and I have to feed him and travel tomorrow."

Qin Mu studied it but still couldn't figure out what this dark matter was. At this moment, he saw a monster in the darkness.

There were whispers coming from all around him. Many monsters were hiding in the darkness, in the shadows of rocks, in the darkness of the woods, quietly observing him. From time to time, there were rustling sounds. These monsters in the dark shadows moved like ghosts, jumping from one shadow to another at such a fast speed that even Qin Mu could hardly see their movements clearly when he activated his divine eyes.

Suddenly, he could vaguely see a shadow that seemed real but unreal moving in the darkness.

These figures seemed to be between reality and illusion, coming and going suddenly. They were not monsters, but humans!

It’s a human figure!

"How could there be someone in the dark?"

Qin Mu's heart was shaken slightly, and he hurriedly chased after him. Apart from him, the only ones who could walk in the darkness were those with god-like powers, such as the village chief, Xing'an, or some things that could emit divine light, such as Xing'an's box, which was made of the divine bones and skin of Taotie.

Whenever they enter darkness, they will emit divine light, forcing the darkness back.

However, the figures in the darkness did not force the darkness back. They seemed to have merged with the darkness just like Qin Mu. Even stranger than Qin Mu, they seemed to be made up of darkness!

Qin Mu followed a figure and caught up with him. The figure in front seemed to be very curious about him and stopped, as if waiting for his arrival.

Qin Mu chased forward and looked curiously at the black figure opposite him. The figure was also looking at him sideways. The black figure had two long braids hanging down.

This is a girl. Although only her outline can be seen, it can be seen that she is probably not very old.

She stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to touch Qin Mu. Qin Mu also stretched out his hand. Their palms touched each other, but passed through each other and did not touch each other.

The girl in the shadow seemed quite surprised and said something. Qin Mu only heard whispering in his ears and couldn't make out what she was saying at all.

"So weird?"

Qin Mu was surprised and scratched his head, "Can you hear what I'm saying?"

The girl probably couldn't understand what he was saying, their voices were distorted by a strange force. Suddenly, the girl squatted down, her two braids hanging down, and she stretched out her hand to write something on the ground.

Qin Mu looked down, but could only see distorted black light flowing on the ground, and could not make out any words.

He also wrote a line of words on the ground. The girl in the black shadow shook her head, indicating that she couldn't see clearly what he wrote.

Qin Mu suddenly had an idea and used his Taoist magical powers. He drew his sword and used the move "Sword Walks on Mountains and Rivers". However, the girl still shook her head, indicating that she could not see what he was doing.

Qin Mu was completely at a loss.

Suddenly, the girl in black ran forward, took a few steps, stopped, and waved to him.

Qin Mu chased after her, and the two of them ran and stopped. After a long time, the girl in black stopped. Qin Mu bumped into her, passed through her body, and hurriedly stopped, almost falling into the cliff in front of him.

The girl wanted to grab his hand but couldn't. Fortunately, Qin Mu immediately steadied his body and did not fall off the cliff.

The girl pointed forward, and Qin Mu was shocked. He saw under the cliff in front of him, a series of magnificent dark cities, tall and majestic buildings full of exotic atmosphere. He had never seen such a magnificent urban building complex in Daxu before!

"Strange, there is no such city in Daxu. Could it be that the Dark Realm has come and covered Daxu..."

Qin Mu frowned slightly. If dark matter can flow between Kaihuang Ruins and Shanghuang Ruins, then if the dark matter is blocked in Shanghuang Ruins, wouldn’t that mean that even the dark world is blocked in Shanghuang Ruins?

Can blocking the cracks on the cliff really block the whole world?

"The darkness in Daxu is more complicated than I imagined. I'm afraid I can't stop it..."

He had just thought of this when suddenly the black shadow girl leaped down from the thousand-foot cliff, and slanted down from the air towards the city under the cliff as if she were walking on flat ground.

Qin Mu also jumped up and followed her footsteps. After a while, they arrived in the city. Qin Mu looked around and saw that the city was very prosperous, with many people coming and going. However, in his eyes, these people were all black shadows.

If the black shadows were replaced by real humans, this place should be an extremely prosperous metropolis.

He also saw tall gods and demons in the darkness, standing on top of tall buildings, looking around vigilantly.

Qin Mu was stunned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

He had seen similar scenes before.

He traveled back to the city of Bailong forty thousand years ago. The gods and demons of Bailong City were on guard against the surroundings in this way, but what the gods and demons of Bailong City were on guard against was the darkness outside the city!

So, what is this dark city guarding against?

The black shadow girl took him through the city. The black shadows in the city were all looking sideways at them. It seemed that in their eyes, Qin Mu's appearance was also very strange, and they couldn't help but look sideways.

They walked through the streets and came to a magnificent mansion in the city. Suddenly, an extremely tall and majestic figure rose up in the mansion, opened his four arms and protected the mansion. It seemed that because of Qin Mu's arrival, this god was guarding his mansion from the invasion of the evil demon Qin Mu.

The shadowy girl leaped up, jumped onto the palm of the dark god, leaped like flying, came to the shoulder of the dark god, and said something to him.

The god tilted his head, looked at Qin Mu, and started to speak, but when Qin Mu heard it, it turned into a whisper and he could not understand what he said.

After a while, the dark god lowered his hand and motioned Qin Mu to stand on his palm. Qin Mu hesitated and stepped on it but couldn't step on anything. He almost passed through his palm. He hurriedly activated his magical power and floated on his palm.

The dark god was surprised, raised his other hand, and poked Qin Mu with a finger, but the finger passed through Qin Mu's body and did not touch him.

The dark god scratched his head, not understanding why this happened.

“This is too weird!”

Qin Mu was shocked: "Even the omnipotent gods and demons can't touch me!"

Suddenly, there was a panic in the city. The dark artifact put down the shadow girl, immediately flew into the air and headed towards the city gate.

Qin Mu quickly caught up with the shadow girl. When they reached a higher place, they saw the space outside the city shaking. Suddenly, black holes appeared. Huge and ugly demons were crawling out of the holes, leading countless demons to rush towards these magnificent cities.

A war broke out.

Before long, the city was breached and countless monsters poured into the city like a tide, fighting in the streets.

Qin Mu followed the black shadow girl and dodged in all directions. The city was in chaos, with magical powers and spiritual weapons bursting out with power everywhere, and collapsed houses and palaces everywhere.

This night was extremely long. Suddenly, the sound of a rooster crowing was heard. Qin Mu's heart trembled slightly. Then he saw darkness surging, and the city was surging as well. The demons and monsters retreated madly, and disappeared into space holes.

Qin Mu's figure was shaken by the surging darkness. When he was about to grab the black shadow girl beside him, suddenly the girl, like the city, turned into black gas and disappeared into the darkness!

A ray of sunlight shone down, illuminating his surroundings. Qin Mu looked around and saw that this was a land of towering mountains. It was impossible for a city to appear here.

"Master! Master!"

The call of Long Qilin came. Qin Mu followed the sound and finally found the remains of their last night's roost. When Long Qilin saw him, he hurried over with a wash basin in his mouth, put it down, wagged his tail, and said with a smile: "Master, it's time to have breakfast. It's been a while late..."

Qin Mu looked back and around. What he saw and heard last night seemed like a dream.

"This big ruin is so weird. Did I really enter another world last night?"
