Chapter 256: Phantom Wind Servant No. 2

Youfeng Waiter No. 2 suddenly asked for credentials, causing the scene to fall silent. For three full breaths, the silence was embarrassing and a bit overwhelming.

The three of Xu Yang were like three naughty boys who had done bad things and were being questioned by adults. Whether you answer or not, you will get a beating.

Guigu Changyang subconsciously grasped the handle of the sword at his waist, but he did not exert any force. Maybe holding the handle of the demon sword could just make him feel a sense of security. This is not the time to draw swords and fight.

The white skeleton lying on Guigu Zan's back stretched out a sharp finger and quietly poked the Youfeng Waiter No. 2 opposite him in the air. Maybe it was dissatisfied with its master being questioned like this, or maybe It is because it has understood the dissatisfaction in the owner's heart at this moment and vented it.

But when it saw the gaze of Youfeng Waiter No. 2, it retracted its outstretched fingers and inserted them into its nostrils to show that I didn't do anything, but the position of its nostrils was just A dark hole.

"Credentials?" Xu Yang said to himself, with an expression on his face as if he had just lost the so-called credentials.

"What? Don't you three have Master No. 1's token as proof?"

Seeing the looks of Xu Yang and the others, Youfeng Waiter No. 2 raised his eyebrows, his slender eyes flashed with a sharp, razor-like gaze, and his speaking tone was like a gust of cool breeze in early spring, which not only made When a person shivers, it reminds him of the cold winter that just passed.

"It's like this. Master No. 1 left in a hurry and didn't leave any tokens for us. But Master No. 1 personally said that if you meet other waiters when you go down the mountain, tell the truth and no one will make things difficult for us." Xu Yang explained calmly, without showing too much panic.

"this?"

No. 2 on the opposite side heard the words "Sir No. 1 said it himself", and the cold aura that had just risen was suppressed again. Then he showed a wandering and thoughtful look.

"No token? But this is indeed the way No. 1 does things. The arrogant No. 1 never takes herself and other Youfeng waiters seriously, and she is just one rank lower than her. But that's it A ranking that puts me without dignity in front of her.”

Thinking of this, No. 2 couldn't help but let out a long sigh and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. His slender eyes stared blankly at a certain point in the sky, and his thoughts traveled back to the past.

I think back then, the man with the scar on his forehead also held the position of No. 1 Waiter of the Wind. At that time, there was only a beautiful and bright word on his head, but no scar.

With his unparalleled force, he overpowered other Youfeng Waiters and became the well-deserved No. 1 Waiter of Youfeng. Lord Youfeng even personally declared him to be the No.1. What a sight it is to be below one person and above ten thousand people.

In order to show his loyalty to Lord Youfeng, he specially tattooed a word written by Lord Youfeng on his forehead. The bright red word "一" on his forehead represents his single-minded loyalty to Lord Youfeng, just like a dog's loyalty. It also means that as the No. 1 Waiter of Youfeng, he stands out among the many Waiters of Youfeng.

However, good times do not last long.

That day, the sky was very blue, like a lake.

A girl in green suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Like him, she also had the first level of Daoming Realm.

The girl in green wants to challenge him, and he fights it without compromise for the sake of the dignity of the "one word" on his forehead.

That battle can be called one of the most fierce battles in the history of the battle for the "No. 1 position of Waiter of the Wind". The two fought for three days and three nights. Their power could move mountains and seas, and their power could shake the stars.

In the end he was defeated by the girl in green.

He thought he would die in the hands of the girl in green. But the girl in green didn't kill him, she just shot out a ray of silver, leaving a straight, permanent scar on his head. Then he ruthlessly said "You are number two" and walked away. And as No. 2, he was like a defeated dog, leaving with his tail between his legs in dejection.

From that day on, he became number two. The scar on his forehead also turned into the lower stroke of the character "二", and anyone who saw him would recognize him as Number 2.

The title No. 2 is his pillar of shame. He hates being called No. 2 the most. Every time I hear it, it feels like having a steel nail inserted into my ear.

Anyone who calls him No. 2 will be maimed or killed directly by him. But this did not include the girl in green. The girl in green always called him No. 2, but he could only endure the pain of the steel nail piercing his ear, which pierced his heart.

For a while at first, he didn't dare to look in the mirror. He thinks the man in the mirror is too erratic, that's not him at all. Unwilling to give in, he began to practice hard in seclusion, preparing to challenge the girl in green again.

But in the next two consecutive challenges, he failed miserably. The girl in green broke through to the second level of Daoming Realm a few years ago, surpassing him who only had the first level of Daoming Realm. His dissatisfaction and resentment towards the girl in green are no longer so simple, and are mixed with more and more fear.

Forget the past……

…

After a while, No. 2 turned his attention back to the three people opposite Xu Yang. Thinking in his mind, these three people claimed to be servants of No. 1, but there was no evidence. It is also very possible that the prisoner captured by No. 1 sneaked here. If they were servants, I couldn't use force with them. If he is a prisoner, it would be troublesome for me to release him from here and let No. 1 know about it.

Thinking of this, No. 2 smiled with relief, but this smile was not for Xu Yang and the other two, but for himself.

"My duty is to guard this checkpoint and prohibit outsiders from going up from here, but you three came down from above. So, I won't stop you. Since you have no evidence to prove that you are the servants of Lord No. 1, there is no need for me to send you out of this formation safely. Just pretend that you have never seen me, and I have never seen you. It is you three who broke into this formation by yourselves. Whether you can get out depends on your own ability." As No. 2 said, he touched the scar on his forehead with his hand.

After the words fell, without waiting for Xu Yang and the other two to answer, he turned around and dragged his long cloak into the stone pillar forest opposite, as if he had never appeared.

The huge stone pillar forest completely returned to silence.

Xu Yang, Guigu Changyang, and Guigu Zan looked at the back of No. 2 leaving and stood there for a moment. After confirming that No. 2 really left, the three people's tense nerves relaxed.

"Fortunately, Junior Brother Xu was quick-witted and responded fluently, otherwise we really had no confidence that we could escape unscathed from the obstruction of No. 2." Guigu Changyang said.

"It was just luck, it seems that No. 2 is a little afraid of No. 1." Xu Yang replied.

"Let's leave here quickly, so as not to have too many troubles. It would be bad if the green-clothed female devil came back." Guigu Changyang said.

Guigu Zan, who was standing aside, looked at the layers of stone pillars in front of him and said, "The stone pillars opposite don't look so simple. Let me use the ghost escape technique to check the truth of it."

Xu Yang and Guigu Changyang nodded in agreement.

Guigu Zan made a secret hand seal with one hand and chanted an obscure spell. A ball of white spiritual light quickly condensed on his hand seal. There were mottled light and shadow flickering in this white spiritual light, and there was a mystery hidden in it.

With the injection of mana, this ball of white spiritual light began to flicker and jump, vividly. Guiguzan stretched out his hand and pointed at the empty space in front of him, and the white spiritual light fell lightly on the ground.

The white spiritual light on the ground twisted and gradually transformed into a life-size translucent skeleton. The skeleton was covered in white, and the two eye sockets emitted dazzling green light.

"Go!"

With Guiguzan's order, the translucent skeleton shook its body and fled in the direction where No. 2 had just disappeared. It was originally condensed by spiritual power, but it did not emit a trace of spiritual power fluctuations, and did not leave a trace wherever it passed. This is also the brilliance of Guiguzan's ghost escape path-finding technique.

In the depths of the stone pillar forest, the skeleton quickly shuttled through the tall black round stone pillars.

Suddenly, the skeleton stopped and looked at a black stone pillar not far away, then walked forward and carefully checked around the stone pillar. After finding that it was empty, he continued to move forward.

…

In the open space outside the stone pillar forest, Xu Yang, Guigu Changyang, and Guigu Zan still stood quietly in the same place.

At this time, Guigu Zan looked at the stone pillar forest opposite and nodded slightly, then said: "We can go. The path-finding skeletons just released will lead us through this maze. No other risks have been found for the time being."

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, senior brother." Xu Yang said.

Guigu Zan was in front, Xu Yang and Guigu Changyang were behind, and the three of them entered the stone pillar forest.

The skeleton lying behind Guigu Zan stretched out a finger from time to time to point out the direction of advance. Guigu Zan kept changing directions according to the skeleton's instructions, and the three of them shuttled through the stone pillar forest.

An hour later, the three of them had already reached the depths of the stone pillar forest.

At this moment, the skeleton behind Guigu Zan made a squeaking sound when the upper and lower jaws of the skeleton moved.

Guigu Zan frowned and stopped.

Xu Yang and Guigu Changyang, who were following Guigu Zan, also stopped moving forward.

"I just found the clue of this maze." Guigu Zan said.

"Please speak." Xu Yang said.

"This stone pillar formation looks like a maze, but each pillar is not stationary. Instead, it keeps changing its landing point at almost the speed of teleportation, so that the path of the maze is constantly lengthening. If the speed is not fast enough, you will never be able to get out of this maze. Fortunately, we are moving fast enough to avoid being trapped here. But it is only a little faster than the speed of the maze path. So, if we want to get out of here, it will probably take at least three days." Guigu Zan explained.

"Three days is indeed a bit long. It might be faster for us to push down these stone pillars directly and kill a way out." Guigu Changyang suggested.

"You can try it. But don't make too much noise, so as not to trigger other mechanisms." Xu Yang said.

Guigu Changyang nodded slightly, and the hand holding the handle of the demon sword slightly pulled up an inch.

With a "swish", a crescent blade spit out from the exposed one-inch blade, and chopped towards a stone pillar not far away on the opposite side.

Just before the chopped blade was about to touch the stone pillar, a gap suddenly appeared in the middle of the stone pillar, like an open mouth. And the blade sank into it in an instant.

Then, the crack in the stone pillar healed quickly, and the pillar suddenly swelled up like a blown-up ball.

After a while, the stone pillar actually burped outwards, and the pillar returned to its original state. And the knife force that Guigu Changyang had chopped out before seemed to be swallowed by it, disappearing without a trace.

What’s even more bizarre is that the ground next to the pillar has black ripples, and a smaller stone pillar has grown out of it. And the surface of this newly grown stone pillar has a silver crescent knife mark, which is exactly the same as the one that Guigu Changyang had chopped out before.

“It seems that this maze can absorb the energy of the attack and transform into more stone pillars. We can only race against time.” Looking at everything happening in front of him, Xu Yang said.
