Chapter 76 The Holy Mountain (Part 2)

"Sisters, that is the holy mountain! We found it!"

Hakara screamed out her joy. Many witches stood there dumbfounded, shocked by the spectacle in front of them, and some of them reacted, hugged and wept with their companions around them.

Chitong frowned, "Is that really a holy mountain?"

"What's the matter, is there something wrong?" Ye Zi leaned forward and asked in a low voice. She also had the same question in her heart, the city in the sky did not look like it was described in the ancient books, it was glittering and magnificent. Although the minaret is magnificent, the whole body is gray and black, and it is dim even in daytime. Not to mention the red mist that filled the sky above the city, which was as thick as fresh blood that could not be melted.

"There's something... squeezed into those holes," Chi Tong's voice was a little dry, "I can't see it clearly, but those things don't look like gods..."

Ye Zi felt a layer of goosebumps all over her body, Chi Tong was the one who saw the farthest in the mutual aid association, what she said made Ye Zi a little uneasy. It's a pity that Lightning has left with Nightingale, otherwise she can fly closer to have a look.

"Sisters! The Holy Mountain is right in front of us," the instructor raised his hands and shouted, "Keep working harder, we will find eternity soon!"

After speaking, she immediately urged the stone girl to carry her on her back. Ye Zi wanted to step forward to dissuade her, but she took her foot back. She thought of Wendy's fate half a month ago. At this time, I'm afraid any dissuasion would be meaningless. If you don't go and see it yourself, the mentor will not give up.

A group of people began to accelerate forward. After leaving the foot of the mountain, the snow cover unexpectedly decreased, and the surrounding temperature also rose. This is the legendary forbidden land, and it is also an area that humans cannot set foot on, Ye Zi thought, but now they are imprinting their footprints on this uninhabited land. If Lightning is here, she must be very happy, right?

Looking back, the majestic mountains rolled up and down behind him, like an insurmountable barrier. This made Ye Zi wonder, is it because of the impenetrable mountain range that the evil beasts cannot directly attack the hinterland of the mainland, so they need to detour to the extreme north?

No matter what, if I can really find the Holy Mountain, I will be satisfied without having to wander around anymore... She sighed lightly. To be honest, when Nightingale told the story of Border Town in the camp, her heart was moved Understand. When Wendy asked who wanted to leave with Nightingale, she couldn't help but want to take a step forward and shout out her name. But until the end, she still failed to cross the threshold in her heart, and lost to the shadow left by her past.

Ye Zi shook her head, telling herself not to think about these things that had passed, and kept up with the pace of the team, speeding through the yellow and white fields.

But a weird thing happened soon, no matter how fast they speeded up, the city always seemed to be moving backwards at the same speed as them. After walking for an hour, the "Sacred Mountain Place" was still suspended in the clouds, neither getting bigger nor shrinking, as if...they hadn't moved at all.

"Master Tutor, please rest, the sisters are all tired," said Shi Nu. During this period, there have been several waves of people carrying mentors, and she is the one who has persisted the longest.

"No, how can we stop now!" Hakara rejected her suggestion without thinking, "This is the test of the gods, sisters, without a firm will, we will never be able to reach the holy mountain! Can't stop, we must go Go down until the gate of the holy mountain appears before our eyes!"

Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, the group had no choice but to move on.

But the situation has not changed. The witches also encountered two waves of evil beasts on the way, and two deformed hybrid beasts appeared in the second wave. Cut open by sharp claws, blood spilled all over the floor.

After finally solving these monsters, everyone found that the sky was gradually getting dark, and it was evident that it was dusk. The city was still ahead of them, but its outline became more blurred and seemed to disappear.

According to past experience, they had to find a suitable place to camp and build a camp, but this place is completely different from the Impassable Mountain Range, it is almost flat as far as the eye can see, and with the evil beasts that may appear at any time, they simply cannot overnight.

"Master Tutor, let's retreat to the foot of the mountain first! Let Chi Tong lead the way, and Red Pepper light the way, maybe we can get back before midnight."

"No!" Hakala yelled, "It took us all afternoon to get here, and we hardly stopped on the road. Now everyone has exhausted more than half of their physical strength, and it is impossible to keep returning at the same speed. Sisters, hold on a little longer, Only when we find the holy mountain can we truly rest in peace."

"What about Shirley?" Someone asked, pointing to the lifeless witch on the ground.

"We don't have time to bury her," the tutor shook his head, "leave her here, the earth will take her in."

Ye Zi closed her eyes sadly, and another sister left. If she was stronger, she wouldn't have to die in this desolate place, without even leaving a tombstone.

Just when everyone was undecided whether to advance or retreat, Shi Nu suddenly exclaimed: "Look at the sky, the city is gone!"

Ye Zi opened her eyes and looked up, only to see that the sky had turned gray-black, the clouds were hidden in the night, and the city disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed before.

Everyone stood there dumbfounded, and there was a terrible silence all around for a while.

The city that can never be approached, the phantom floating in the sky, disappearing into nothingness when the sun sets...Suddenly, Ye Zi thinks of the adventure stories told by Lightning, and those bizarre illusions seen on the sea. She shivered and said in a low voice, "We have been deceived..." Soon, she shouted, "We have been deceived, that is not a holy mountain at all! What we see is a mirage!"

"A mirage?" Hakara turned her head abruptly, with a hideous look on her face, "What is that?"

"As mentioned in the story of lightning, this phenomenon is often encountered on long voyages, but it is much rarer on land. What we see is just an illusion. The real city may be far away from us, and even, it may Not in front at all!"

"That at least means it really exists? And it hasn't disappeared?"

"This..." Ye Zi stifled, "I don't know."

At this moment, Chitong suddenly issued a warning, "Be careful! Something is coming!" She stared at the left side of the group of people, her face looked very ugly.

"Another evil beast?" Zhuifeng made a posture to face the enemy, "How many are there?"

"No..." Chi Tong took two steps back, "I don't know what that is..."

While speaking, a black shadow came from far to near, and shot directly at Chitong with lightning speed. Although she saw the incoming light and shadow, she couldn't dodge it - unlike the crossbow bolt, it was too fast.

Almost in the blink of an eye, this black shadow penetrated Chitong's chest, took her out, and nailed her to the tree trunk behind her.

It was a spear.
