Fox Demon: Huaizhu is not a concubine, and hegemony has no wife

Chapter 245: Inside and Outside the Circle

A hole opened in the city wall

Su Mu and Tianmen Taoist walked out of the city wall together. Dongfang Huaizhu wanted to follow them, but was persuaded to stay by Su Mu.

After getting off the city wall, Su Mu looked back. The wall behind him was already covered with mottled dried bloodstains, some of which were freshly stained, while others had been there for who knows how many years.

Obviously, countless battles have broken out here and countless blood has been shed.

After walking about two or three kilometers outside the city wall, the surroundings gradually became darker. The further we walked, the darker it became, almost falling into a state of dead silence and darkness.

Su Mu looked up and could feel that the sun in the sky was still there, still emitting a scorching light, but the sunlight could no longer shine in the front.

Moreover, when he stepped into this place, Su Mu also felt that his emotions were a little agitated, and vaguely, he even had a feeling of dissatisfaction with the Tianmen Taoist beside him.

"Meditation."

Taoist Tianmen beside him glanced at him and said, "When you come here, the space is surrounded by negative energy, which makes people irritable, hateful, angry, and greedy... The accumulation of various negative emotions will unknowingly seep into the mind. Living here for a long time can easily make people lose their mind."

When Su Mu heard this, his heart trembled.

"Is this what 'outside the circle' is? It's really scary."

Taoist Tianmen glanced at him and shook his head: "The area we are in is not truly 'outside the circle'. The real 'outside the circle' is outside that 'pillar of light'."

As he spoke, Tianmen Taoist pointed forward.

Su Mu looked in the direction of Tianmen Taoist's finger, and saw a pillar of light that almost spanned the sky and the earth in an unknown distance. It was unknown how high and how long the pillar of light was, and it stretched as far as the eye could see.

One could feel that the light column exuded an extremely terrifying aura. Occasionally, one could vaguely see unknown black shadows wandering outside the light column, like greedy beasts staring at the food inside the light column, but because of the "light column" blocking their way, they could only unwillingly stop outside. From time to time, one could vaguely hear some kind of low roar.

"Beyond that 'pillar of light' is the true 'outside the circle'."

Taoist Tianmen whispered, looking outside the 'pillar of light' with a flash of fear in his eyes.

"Are we going outside that 'pillar of light'?"

Su Mu couldn't help but ask, his hand couldn't help but press the hilt of the sword, his spirit tense. The kingship was the one who took his "masked" members to the "outside the circle", and in the end almost all of them died.

"Do not……"

Taoist Tianmen shook his head, a warning in his eyes: "We are only within the 'pillar of light' and will not leave it. You must also remember not to go outside of it."

"Have you ever been there, Senior?"

Su Mu asked curiously.

"Never."

Taoist Tianmen shook his head: "However, several of my predecessors have been there before."

"how?"

Su Mu couldn't help but ask.

“None of them came back.”

Taoist Tianmen's hand fell on his wine flask. "In the border records, no one has ever left that pillar of light and returned. They were all lost outside the pillar of light."

"call out……"

While the two were talking, two dark shadows suddenly approached and launched an attack.

But before they got close, two sword energies were shot out, and the two black shadows that were rushing towards them were cut in half in the air, and a large amount of dark-green blood was spilled all over the ground.

Su Mu also looked over and saw a humanoid creature about 1.2 meters tall, with a pointed chin and monkey-like features, and its head vaguely resembled the outline of a mouse's head.

The aura on his body is not strong, and his strength is probably only at the Qi training level.

Taoist Tianmen glanced at Su Mu. This man's sword energy was extremely powerful. No wonder the old man Dongfang chose him as his son-in-law.

"Is this the creature 'outside the circle'?"

Su Mu walked up to the dead sneak attack creature, feeling a little curious.

"No, it's not really an 'outsider' creature."

Taoist Tianmen shook his head. "These are rat soldiers. They were originally rats that lived here, but were infected by the energy here, and mutated into a new species."

"As far as I can remember, I've never seen any creature truly 'outside the circle' that could break through that 'beam of light'."

The old man from Tianmen pointed at the 'pillar of light' that stretched between heaven and earth and said, "That 'pillar of light' is like a 'circle', trapping us inside and keeping out the creatures outside."

"Out there, there must be countless terrifying creatures with malicious intent towards us. Until we have the power to fight against them, we should not attempt to go outside the circle."

"The aliens we are going to kill today are creatures that originally lived here. They were corrupted by the negative energy that lingered in this space and have completely mutated."

Su Mu listened attentively on the side, and occasionally, with a few sword strokes, he killed a few rat soldiers who attacked him by surprise.

These rat soldiers were only at the Qi training level. For him, there was no need to draw his sword at all. He killed a few rat soldiers with ease. Su Mu also asked:

"Have you ever seen creatures outside the circle?"

"Never."

Taoist Tianmen shook his head. "Those creatures 'outside the circle' simply can't break into that 'light column'. They can't get in at all. We're stationed at this border, mainly to guard against abnormal creatures here. Those affected by the negative energy here and mutated aren't just animals, but also monsters. There are even humans who have been transformed into monsters. The powerful abnormal creatures among them are as powerful as me."

The old man sighed, looking towards the 'outside the circle', his eyes filled with a hint of fear and apprehension: "That 'outside the circle' is not a place we should be able to set foot in at all."
