Chapter 161 Disappeared Just Like That?

Disappeared just like that?

Just like that, disappeared.

The black snow swept across the sky, and after the whistling wind dissipated, Gu Shen's figure also disappeared with it.

Grand Duke Zhenyue's expression was stunned for a second.

But he quickly regained his composure.

Along the way up the mountain, he and his followers had already witnessed the strange nature of this snow mountain.

The reason for his surprise was simply that he hadn't expected the land of rules to descend so quickly!

In fact, Meng Xiao had already made a rough guess about the rules of the Black Snow Mountain.

In the divination image given to him by the bracelet, a "copy" appeared, along with relevant prompts. So he foresaw in advance that there might be an independent mirror world on this Black Snow Mountain!

And just now, he wasted some time at the summit examining the remains of the "Gu Shen copy." When he chased down the mountain again, his team members had already "disappeared out of thin air."

This could be regarded as evidence confirming his previous guess.

His team members were dragged into it by that nightmare gate!

However…

He was not yet clear about the specific rules of the nightmare.

"Is it light?"

Zhenyue pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look at the other side of the snow mountain, the direction from which he had come.

In the bracelet, he saw the image of Gu Shen trekking alone on the Black Snow Mountain.

So he knew.

This was the best place to ambush Gu Shen!

It was just that… Gu Shen had climbed the mountain with the Zhongyuan team. There was no reason for this group to separate. Now he understood the reason why Gu Shen was alone. That nightmare gate would devour creatures that ignited "light" in order to maintain the eternal darkness of the Black Snow Mountain.

However, his own blessing light and Gu Shen's S-level blazing fire were too special.

Even touching the taboo did not provoke the descent of the nightmare!

With this thought.

Meng Xiao retracted the blessing radiating from his body. The hazy moon-like light dissipated, the large robe slowly fell, and he also sank into darkness.

He squatted down and picked up a stone.

Imitating Gu Shen's previous actions.

In the darkness.

A faint flame ignited.

Grand Duke Zhenyue raised his head, looking at the black tide in the distance that was vibrating with dense whistling sounds.

That sudden snow fell again without warning, engulfing him.

…

…

For others, every flake of black snow falling from the iron dome was like a blade landing on their spirit.

These snowflakes, little by little, would freeze the lake of the heart.

The spirit of the extraordinary would be weakened bit by bit in the heavy snow, gradually moving towards collapse.

But for Gu Shen.

When he extinguished the blazing fire, held the light of the flint, and was submerged by the black snow tide, not only did he not feel cold in his heart, but a trace of warmth surged up… This black snow would not consume his spirit.

Perhaps this was because his yet-to-be-fused "Nether King Power" was of the same origin.

The firelight went out.

Black snow covered him.

Gu Shen was very certain that he had arrived in another world. Although the scene in front of him hadn't changed, the snow mountain was still that snow mountain, and he was still the person standing on the mountainside, Grand Duke Zhenyue, who was suspended in the air, had completely disappeared after this snow tide dissipated.

The whole world became extremely quiet, and no trace of light could be seen.

He had successfully arrived in the mirror world.

Gu Shen had a feeling of "a fish returning to water." He stretched out his palm, and the black snow fluttered, surging towards him. This feeling was quite wonderful… He seemed to have mastered a power even greater than in the real world. After wearing the ghost mask, his spiritual power spread freely, extending far away in this dark place.

Even someone as powerful as Zhongyuan, at the peak of the fourth level, was still confusing reality and illusion in this mirror world.

But Gu Shen did not feel confused.

Was it because of the Nether Fire?

In the Ruler of Truth, the small transaction he forced the devil to make was to confirm the existence of the Black Snow Mountain gate, and the conditions for his entry!

Extinguish the fire.

Switch to a cheaper, lower-quality fire, and you can enter the [Gate]!

Gu Shen knew… This method was not difficult, and it wouldn't be long before Meng Xiao could see the pattern. Perhaps he was trying it now, and would soon catch up.

"I need to hurry."

Gu Shen let out a long breath.

He sensed a few faint auras not far away in the mirror world… The black snow here was more corrosive than in the real world, so those Zhenyue followers who had entered earlier wearing the Zhenyue robes were now emitting much weaker light.

In this world.

These people were "blind," but he was not.

The darkness here, in Gu Shen's eyes… was just the right amount of light.

He put away Iron Edge and walked forward slowly.

Under the control of the [Iron Throne], Iron Edge transformed into countless iron filings, which adhered to Gu Shen's body and transformed back into its original form… an indestructible suit of steel armor.

And the arc of the Ruler of Truth also peeled off.

The silver-white light flew around Gu Shen.

Wearing the ghost mask, and under the urging of his mind, the fire in his forehead flickered. The blazing fire and the arc of truth produced a wonderful reaction with the black snow that patted his cheeks… Gu Shen's face changed little by little, becoming gloomy and stern.

The robe on his body also lengthened as the black snow fluttered, and finally swayed in the wind, transforming into a large robe.

On this robe was engraved an extremely bright pattern.

A hand, suppressing the lonely moon.

…

…

"Ba Kui, where are we…?"

Seven followers were embarking on a long and aimless trek.

Since the sudden snowstorm, they had completely lost sight of Gu Shen. The previously promising annihilation operation… was also forced to stop.

"Damn it… We must have fallen for this kid's trick."

Ba Kui's expression was unsightly.

He was the strongest of Zhenyue's subordinates.

At this moment, the entire team… was in a dilemma. No one understood what had happened. After all, they had too little information. Although Grand Duke Zhenyue possessed the divine skill of "Disaster Divination," he never shared the results of his divination with others.

The rules and patterns of this Black Snow Mountain.

Their understanding was limited to the battles they encountered when entering the mountain…

They encountered extraordinary individuals who were identical to themselves and possessed considerable combat power. After a series of fights, they successfully killed those "copies," and continued to move forward without having time to study them.

Because Meng Xiao didn't care about the strangeness of this Black Snow Mountain. He held the blessing of the City of Light in his hand, as well as the guidance of the bracelet. Entering the snow mountain was to find Gu Shen and kill him as soon as possible!

But now…

The entire team had lost contact with Meng Xiao.

"Did Gu Shen… master some kind of strange and evil art?" A follower of the City of Light gritted his teeth, unable to figure it out. "I've heard before that there are such strange warlocks in the Southern Continent. Maybe he has also practiced it?"

Ba Kui nodded thoughtfully.

This possibility could not be ruled out.

Gu Shen did not turn around and escape, but just watched as the snowstorm swallowed his group… That scene was too strange. It seemed as if he had summoned this black snow to scatter them.

"We can't find an exit in this damn place…"

Another team member asked, "Is it possible that this is a dream?"

As soon as these words came out.

Several followers who had been busy running around felt a sense of "sudden enlightenment."

That's right.

Combined with the "copies" they had encountered earlier…

The conjecture of a mirror world slowly emerged.

"So, are we being hypnotized?"

Ba Kui calmed down and frowned.

When he was by Zhenyue's side, he would be scolded every day.

Of course, Ba Kui also knew that besides having a good combat talent, he had no special talents. At this juncture that required quick wit, he probably couldn't lead the team, so he had not made any radical choices, but just led the team to walk a little further, and then a little further.

In this situation where the situation was unclear.

Walking a little further to explore the surrounding environment was never wrong.

"Very likely."

Several team members gave this reply that was close to the truth.

"Okay… You, slap me, don't hold back."

Ba Kui turned to look at his teammate next to him and said seriously, "I remember Lord Zhenyue said that strong stimulation can cause an extraordinary person's spirit to leave a dream. Maybe this will be a way to leave here."

"Ah?"

That team member obviously did not expect this kind of operation.

He knew Ba Kui's personality. Once he made up his mind, ten bulls couldn't pull him back. He just remained silent for a second, then swung his palm and gave him a big slap.

Pa!

Ba Kui staggered a big step from the blow, half of his cheek bulging high. This slap made his eyes bloodshot, almost triggering his half-beast transformation… After shaking his head vigorously.

Everything was as before.

It was just a little dizzy.

"Damn it…"

Ba Kui sucked his teeth hard, gasping in cold air from the pain. "It seems that the method Lord Zhenyue said doesn't work very well?"

The team member asked in a low voice, "Is it because I didn't use enough strength…"

Ba Kui glared: "What, do you want to try again?"

That person immediately shut up.

"The current priority is not to kill Gu Shen, but how are we going to get out?"

Although he had been slapped, Ba Kui, with his thick skin, quickly recovered.

He sat cross-legged in the snow, no longer moving forward.

Leading the team and trekking aimlessly for a while, everyone's spirits were somewhat exhausted… But the surrounding scenery had not changed much, with endless black snow and dense jagged rocks.

Everything here seemed to be cyclical.

It seemed like they were always moving forward, but in reality… they were constantly circling back to the starting point.

"If we just disappear like this, Lord Zhenyue shouldn't just ignore it, right?"

One team member murmured, "If we really can't find a way out, will the Lord come to save us?"

"…"

Ba Kui was silent for a while. Although he was stupid, he understood Zhenyue's character. This master came straight to the snow mountain, obviously to kill Gu Shen.

"Maybe."

Ba Kui said softly, "But even if he comes… he will only come after killing Gu Shen."
