I'm useless, but my apprentices are all gods who protect others.

With a desperate roar, bloody flames soared into the sky, instantly extinguishing the sunlight and igniting the heaven and earth.

The giant beast taller than the city gate woke up from the fire. The moment he opened his eyes, the blood and tears on his face burned out. A fatal sense of oppression came over him, and a thick demonic aura surrounded his side - he It's like coming from hell.

"what happened to him?!"

"Hurry and protect the young master!"

The soldiers were shocked and all defended Chonglan.

The counselor around him saw the clues: "No! He has become a demon! Get out quickly!"

The world only knows that Meng Ji Beast is auspicious, but they don't know that Meng Ji Beast is also a fallen demon. Now it seems that Meng Mu has lost control. Facing the overwhelming demonic fire, everyone retreats.

"Roar--"

The loud roar resounded through the sky, and the violent sound waves surged, instantly shaking the city walls and knocking down nearby houses.

Zhonglan's pupils trembled, and he was pulled away by his men, but Meng Jishou was chasing after him, leaving deep claw marks with every step he took - Meng Mu rushed into the house regardless, leaving no one behind wherever he passed. survived.

The bloody flames spread from the city gate to the entire city. Along with the roars of beasts and the screams of people, the blood soaked the entire city.

……

The five Shengyi people witnessed everything and fell silent.

Even though they knew that Granny Huang, Zhu Laosan and others were characters in the secret realm and their endings had been decided, they had already regarded them as their own after so many years of getting along. No one expected that they were still dreaming about the future with them yesterday. , will die so miserably.

Zhong Yueling wiped her eyes: "Why did it become like this..."

Chu Qiongxin also burst into tears: "This is the origin of that great war in history. Meng Mu became the giant beast that destroyed the mirage, and Chonglan became the hero who protected everyone."

Zhong Yueli: "Are people really that forgetful? I never thought that the child I once took care of would kill me..."

Zhong Yueling scolded: "This dead Chonglan! If I can get out alive, I will not only dig up his ancestral grave, but I will also burn down his human immortal temple! He is still a great hero who protects the human race. I think he I’m just afraid that I’ll be beaten to death by Meng Mu!”

Duan Yanyao didn't care about this at all. He just looked up at Sheng Yi, worried that what was happening in front of her would affect her mood, but he saw that Sheng Yi's eyes were slightly red, but his eyes were always following Meng Mu.

Duan Yanyao later realized that Cen Wanwan was someone who knew about his past.

She watched helplessly as he was killed and resurrected again and again in front of her. If others were afraid, they would have gone crazy, but she persevered.

Duan Yanyao lowered his eyes.

The four of them were lucky to find Cen Wanwan to help them relieve their natural punishment, but for Cen Wanwan, it might be unfortunate.

Sheng Yi witnessed the murder of her former acquaintance. She wanted to avoid watching it several times, but she still forced herself to watch the tragedy one by one.

This is just a secret realm.

She can feel sad, but she can't lose her mind. She still has to find clues to leave.

Just as Sheng Yi's eyes were following Meng Mu who was out of control, a golden light suddenly flashed in front of him——

[The dagger only has one chance to be unsheathed. 】

[Kill Meng Mu or Chonglan, please make your choice within half a stick of incense. 】

[Choose right and the secret realm will be broken. If you choose wrong, everyone will die. 】

The dagger from Sheng Yi's waist flew out automatically and landed on her hand.

At the moment, Zhong Lan and Meng Mu were already fighting. Meng Mu was chasing him with his huge claws, and dozens of human monks were casting spells at him at the same time, but they were all blocked by the demonic fire on Meng Mu's body.

Not only that, Meng Mu could accurately predict other people's attacks and attack them before they took action. Many people died under his claws.

Zhong Yueling: "It's still a matter of choice. Didn't I say before that this secret realm is most likely to be opened from Meng Mu's perspective? Then you must be on his side! Chonglan should be killed both emotionally and rationally!"

Chu Qiongxin: "But isn't this answer too obvious? Maybe that's the way the people in the past chose it."

Zhong Yueli looked at Sheng Yi who had been silent: "Ayin, what do you think?"

Sheng Yi clenched the dagger in his hand and turned around to tell the three of them his speculations. The three of them looked at each other and fell silent.

It's an unexpected answer.

Zhong Yueli: "Ayin, how sure are you?"

Sheng Yi: "It still needs further observation, but for now, seven points."

Zhong Yueling: "Then do as you say."

Chu Qiongxin and Zhong Yueli exchanged glances and nodded.

He paused kindly and raised his eyebrows: "Do you really want to believe me?" Zhong Yueling said: "Whatever you say, we always feel at ease when you do things. Just feel free to do it."

Chu Qiongxin said: "In the worst case, we can all go to see Grandma together."

Zhong Yueli smiled: "Go ahead."

Shengyi nodded to them, put the cat in his hand on the ground, and jumped to Meng Mu's side.

At this time, she was just a shadow, and the magic fire on Meng Mu's body could not touch her.

The incense in front of her was burning little by little. Sheng Yi didn't take action yet, but just looked at Meng Mu.

If this secret realm is really caused by Meng Mu's obsession, then what exactly does Meng Mu want in his heart?

Kill Chonglan?

He did it thousands of years ago.

Kill himself?

Kind silence.

At this time, Meng Mu slapped Zhong Lan hard on the ground. Zhong Lan felt that his internal organs were about to shift. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and could no longer hold the sword in his hand.

However, the giant beast still did not stop. His giant claws held Chonglan tightly. Even though the fire behind him was soaring into the sky and countless attacks fell on Meng Mu, he still persisted in holding Chonglan down with greater strength.

Zhong Lan vomited blood slightly and had red veins popping out on his face. He was squeezing his body with huge force, as if his body was about to explode in the next second.

Chonglan only felt countless unreasonable light spots flashing in front of his eyes. When he was dying, he shouted out of nowhere:

"elder brother!!!"

Just like that, the huge strength in his body suddenly relaxed.

The lost focus of the giant beast's golden eyes returned to clarity, but after he saw everything around him clearly, his eyes were full of grief and despair.

Half a stick of incense was just one stick away from burning out, and the good intentions were finally seen clearly.

She pulled out the dagger and let go.

The dagger fell to the ground - she didn't choose either of the two.

Sheng Yi just approached Meng Mu and said firmly: "Meng Mu, this is your secret realm and your obsession."

"Maybe you want to kill Chonglan. You used to depend on each other and he was your important family member, but this family member forgot about you and killed your partner."

"Or maybe the death of your companion has made you feel guilty to this day and you still can't get over it. You blame yourself, so you want to kill yourself."

"Meng Mu, you have done a good job. You have protected them for more than ten years. You have tried every means to let them live a stable life. They have never blamed you."

"Meng Mu, it's been five thousand years since this happened."

"Chonglan is dead, everyone is dead, and some of them may have been reincarnated and lived a new life, but you are still hurting yourself over and over in your memories."

"Meng Mu, these things have passed. Don't live in memories all the time. Let's look forward together, okay?"

From the moment the dagger was unsheathed, time had stopped. Only Meng Mu stood in the firelight, staring directly at Sheng Yi with his golden eyes, retreating slightly, showing a defensive posture.

Sheng Yi didn't care and opened his arms to the big cat in front of him:

"I know you didn't want much from the beginning."

"Do you want to go home with me?"

"Follow me and you won't be alone."

Meng Mu's pupils shrank.

I only heard a slight crackling sound in my ears, like a mirage of purgatory on earth disappearing in an instant——

They returned to the present world.

It was night when the four of them returned to the present world, and there would be a large number of zombies parading at that time. This was the first time they returned to the mirage city in the present world during the day.

Ever since the mythical beast fell into the demon state, Mirage City has fallen into eternal night.

For the first time in a thousand years, the mirage was illuminated by sunlight. If the zombies felt something, they raised their heads one after another. Within a moment, they turned into dust and disappeared.

The three of them had already been mentally prepared to die. Seeing that Sheng Yi had really made the right bet, they immediately hugged each other and cried with joy.

Meng Mu returned to her human form, walked towards Shenyi and threw herself into her arms.

"You have to keep your word and don't lie to me."
