Chapter 195 Ghostly Encounter?

The blood moon in the sky resembled a scarlet scythe!

It felt as if it would really transform into a scimitar in the next second, slicing through the seawater and splitting a person in two!

Cut the flesh, liver, organs, etc., into two halves!

The surroundings were dark and murky, and the seawater was extremely turbid, as if it had turned into light black ink!

The black seawater and the scarlet overhead intertwined, shimmering with a dark red light that inspired fear.

Jiang Chen slowly woke up in an alleyway where crimson and darkness intertwined.

The moment Jiang Chen opened his eyes, he sprang up from the ground, his spiritual energy surging, and he quickly looked around in alarm.

He found himself in the middle of an ancient city street, flanked by black and red brick walls. Looking up slightly, he could see various ancient buildings behind the walls.

The alleyway ended in front and behind, but because the surrounding seawater was very murky, the buildings in front of or behind the alleyway, or behind the walls, were all shrouded in a dim and eerie black and red light.

All the images were blurry, like reflections in water, completely indistinct.

This feeling is like being in a dream; you try hard to see clearly, but you can't see anything at all.

While keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings, Jiang Chen quickly checked his own body.

Having confirmed that he was unharmed and his anus was no longer in pain, Jiang Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly released his three pet beasts.

"Do you know what just happened and how I got here?" Jiang Chen asked the three beasts.

"Meow!"

"Squeak!"

"Roar!"

The three beasts shook their heads in unison, indicating that they knew nothing. Just like Jiang Chen, their vision went black, and they found themselves here.

Jiang Chen frowned. Pets and beast tamers share the same senses, so even in the beast taming space, they can perceive the outside world.

However, at this moment, they, just like themselves, saw, heard, and smelled nothing.

The memories of the man and the three beasts are still stuck on the moment when Lei San and Long Shijie broke the second magic array and a huge black vortex suddenly appeared behind the magic array!

From then on, they remembered nothing; they found themselves here the moment they opened their eyes.

"What exactly is that black vortex?"

"How long was I unconscious?"

Jiang Chen had a headache; this secret realm was becoming increasingly bizarre!

"Well, we can only take it one step at a time!"

Jiang Chen decided to stop thinking and concentrate on observing his surroundings: "The visibility is so low!"

Visibility is indeed extremely low!

At this moment, Jiang Chen realized that he could only see a range of about two or three hundred meters in front and behind this alley. Further away, there was darkness covered by scarlet light!

What puzzled Jiang Chen the most was that he could still see a distance of two or three hundred meters in front and behind him in the alley.

However, the buildings behind the walls on both sides of the alley are very blurry; only the outlines of the buildings can be vaguely seen, and the rest are difficult to distinguish.

It felt like watching a movie with pixelation in a past life—utterly unpleasant!

You can see two or three hundred meters ahead and behind the alley, but you can't see the buildings on the left and right sides at all. What's going on?

Jiang Chen then noticed the moon overhead. He remembered that it had been a full moon just now, so why had it become a crescent moon?

Has he been lying in this alley for a long time?

That's not right! The moon in the ancient city is always a red full moon; it never waxes or wanes!

"Huh, this..."

Just as Jiang Chen was looking up at the blood moon overhead, he suddenly noticed something, and a chilling feeling suddenly arose in his heart!

Jiang Chen felt a chill run down his spine as he stared at the area about four or five meters above the ground above the alley: "Chu Yun, unleash a psychic hammer upwards!"

The blue jelly-like creature perched on Jiang Chen's head blinked for a moment, not understanding what Jiang Chen meant, but still did as he said.

Spiritual power is invisible, but seawater has form.

In Jiang Chen's view, the seawater above his head immediately transformed into the shape of a hammer, crashing down towards the alley.

"Sizzle!"

"boom!"

Just as the psychic hammer was about to fly out of the alley, a golden magic circle suddenly appeared out of thin air and blocked the psychic hammer!

The psychic hammer exploded directly, and the scattered spiritual energy sprayed everywhere, destroyed on the spot, and stirred up shock waves and ripples!

This sudden scene not only startled Jiang Chen, but also the three beasts!

"Meow!"

What on earth happened?! My brain can't process this!

"Squeak!"

This seems to be some kind of powerful magic array, which directly shattered my attack!

"Roar!"

This magic array seems very powerful. I'm so hungry and thirsty, I'm going to shatter it with one strike...

Jiang Chen slapped the fish's head: "I'll chop you up, you big-headed devil!"

Jiang Chen cursed loudly, and then fell silent!

At this moment, the golden magic circle above, after destroying Chu Yun's psychic hammer, slowly returned to the black and red seawater, just like a venomous snake returning to its cave, lying dormant and waiting for the next hunt.

Just from that attack, Jiang Chen had already sensed that the power of that magic array was at least a level five magic array!

With his mid-stage extraordinary strength, Xiao Kuang is trying to destroy a level 5 magic array. Isn't that just courting death?

"Damn it, this magic array has us completely bound to this alley!"

Jiang Chen looked around with extreme vigilance. He had just been preparing to swim to the upper sea area to check the environment, but luckily he had been careful and did not swim up rashly, otherwise he would be dead by now!

"If we can't swim to the open sea, are we just supposed to obediently follow this alley?"

"This second magic array barrier randomly separated all of us?"

"Am I the only one who left the group? If others left, are they facing the same situation as me?"

Jiang Chen stood still, various thoughts flashing through his mind!

He had a slight inclination that in this level, they were probably all randomly separated!

Although the previous two levels were team battles, now that the team battles have failed, we will separate all the invaders and defeat them one by one!

This secret realm is indeed very unwelcoming to outsiders!

The alley was scarlet and dark, like walking through a pitch-black passage.

Jiang Chen's mood was heavy, and his spiritual power surged. He looked at the front and back of the alley, and then led the three beasts to swim forward.

Jiang Chen stopped after advancing several dozen meters. Suddenly, a ripple appeared on the alley wall to his right, and a dense aura of death burst forth. A burly, tall skeleton knight emerged from it, its green necromantic fire burning fiercely in its eye sockets!

Jiang Chen's gaze sharpened. This skeleton knight was a late-stage commander, and its strength was greater than those he had encountered before.

"Roar!"

The skeleton knight roared angrily as soon as it saw Jiang Chen.

The skeletal warhorse pounded through the seawater, creating craters as it landed on the ground, and charged towards Jiang Chen!

"Kill it."

Jiang Chen looked at the skeleton knight in front of him and said expressionlessly.

"Meow!"

"Roar!"

The three-tailed fishing cat and the seven-star knife fish beside Jiang Chen vanished instantly, turning into afterimages and appearing next to the skeleton knight.

With the iron claws and blades falling, the roaring and charging skeleton knight was silently cleaved into several pieces and died on the spot!

"Squeak!"

Chu Yun exclaimed happily, waving two short tentacles, and a black stone the size of a pebble floated out from a pile of bone fragments.

It was indeed a dark crystal.

Jiang Chen caught the Dark Crystal Stone with one hand and put it into the Lake Shell.

Jiang Chen led the three beasts forward, and after a few hundred meters, a crossroads appeared in the dark alley ahead.

Jiang Chen stood in the middle of the crossroads, looking forward, backward, left, and right, and saw that every alley looked exactly the same.

Xiao Jiu, Chu Yun, and the Seven Star Knife Fish were clearly bewildered as they looked in all four directions.

"Meow!"

I feel like this secret realm is taking advantage of me because I don't know the way!

"Squeak!"

Master, I feel so dizzy!

"Roar!"

The Seven-Star Knife Fish roared and slashed at the alley walls, but with a "thud," it left nothing but a shallow cut.

Moreover, the knife wound was slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to its original state.

The Seven-Star Knife Fish was completely stunned. What the hell was this thing?

Jiang Chen also frowned as he looked at the alley wall that had been healed and restored, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Chen looked around, then squatted down and punched the gray-blue floor tiles beneath him.

The floor tiles shattered, revealing a large crater.

Jiang Chen squatted on the ground and waited for a while. He saw that the "soil" under the ground also automatically recovered, but the gray-blue floor tiles were still in a broken state.

Jiang Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief, then looked at the four alleys to the left, right, front, and back, and chose the one on the left. At the same time, he drew an arrow sign on the corner of the wall in the left alley.

On the rest of the journey, Jiang Chen encountered several more skeleton knights or skeleton archers, all of whom were in the late stages of the commander level. Naturally, they were all dealt with by the three beasts.

Similarly, on the rest of his journey, Jiang Chen kept encountering crossroads, and each time he chose the left.

only……

After selecting "left" several times in a row, Jiang Chen arrived at another crossroads.

And at the corner of the alley at this intersection, there was a small "arrow" carved on it!

"this!!!"

Not only was Jiang Chen stunned, but the three beasts were also stunned!

Every time Jiang Chen entered the alley on the left, he would draw an arrow mark.

However, now, not only in the alley on the left, but also in the right, in front, and behind him, an "arrow" sign has appeared in the corner of the alley!

Jiang Chen's heart was in turmoil. What was going on?

Is this the legendary... ghost wall?

He always chooses the left side, so why are arrows appearing on the right and in front now?

Could it be that he has already explored all four directions of this alley?

Jiang Chen examined the four arrows with a mixture of surprise and doubt. There was no doubt that all four arrows were his handwriting!
