Chapter 978: Snake Tail Village

As the scales fall off, the basilisk becomes weaker and weaker.

The power of the basilisk, which was in the immortal realm just now, disappeared in an instant.

This is the illusion formation, everything is an illusion, and the power is naturally not real.

Zhou Ran was not surprised, he put the Jade Blood Sword back into the Qiankun Ring.

After the power disappeared, the basilisk's body also completely disappeared, leaving only the crystal on the tail standing on the ground. The color of the crystal was no longer blood red, but became crystal clear.

Zhou Ran fell from the sky and after the basilisk disappeared, only the crystal was left. It can be seen that this crystal is where the formation eye of Nanke Dreamland is.

"Although I know this is the formation eye, I don't know how to break the formation."

Zhou Ran put his hand on the crystal and muttered to himself.

At this moment, the crystal seemed to sense Zhou Ran's power and immediately shattered.

"Broken?"

Zhou Ran was confused. When he calmed down, the surrounding environment changed again.

It is no longer a lush scene, but has become a smoky swamp. This is the southern swamp in reality.

"The illusion formation is broken, I'm out!"

Zhou Ran smiled slightly and looked up at the sky. The black hole had disappeared and he could no longer feel the breath of any formation.

Looking around, he saw that the body of Wang Jue, a member of the Sword Sect, was still there, but none of the merchants who entered the southern swamp with him were missing.

Zhou Ran's face darkened. Without Wang Jue as their guide, it was impossible for this group of merchants to leave the swamp alone. They could only wait for rescue on the spot.

But now the merchants are all gone, and they are afraid of an accident.

Zhou Ran squatted down and looked at the footprints on the ground.

The footprints are a mess, not just merchants, but also other people. These people not only left footprints, but also left their breath.

Zhou Ran followed the coming people's breath and left. Although they were in a swamp, these people could walk freely, and he could naturally walk as well.

After a while, Zhou Ran came to a cave.

The cave was blocked by a huge boulder, but this boulder was nothing to Zhou Ran.

With a gentle push from Zhou Ran, the boulder rolled to the side, and Zhou Ran walked into the cave.

The cave is so deep that you can't even see your fingers. The only thing Zhou Ran can rely on is the breath of those who took away the merchants.

After wandering through the cave for a while, Zhou Ran finally saw the light.

The light became stronger and stronger, and Zhou Ran used the light to walk to the exit of the cave.

The scene in front of me is no longer a swamp, but a paradise, just like what I saw in Nanke's dream.

"The scene here is so similar to the scene in the phantom formation. Is it also related to Nanke's dreamland?"

Zhou Ran murmured to himself and was about to move forward when murderous intent came from above his head.

Someone has already been ambushing here, and after Zhou Ran comes out, they will kill Zhou Ran.

It's a pity that a mere ambush is useless to Zhou Ran. These people are not strong enough, and Zhou Ran doesn't even have the intention to take action.

With the true energy bursting out from the body, these ambushers could not get close at all, and were knocked away by Zhou Ran's power.

Zhou Ran looked at the people who ambushed him. They were all wearing coarse clothes and looked like country men.

"Who are you? Why ambushed me?" Zhou Ran asked coldly.

"Stop talking nonsense! Anyone who breaks into Shewei Village without authorization will die!"

One of them roared angrily, his eyes full of fierceness.

"Shewei Village? A good village,

Why is it called this name? Zhou Ran couldn't help but complain, "Did you take those businessmen friends who came with me away?" Please give them to me, and I will naturally not disturb Shewei Village again! "

The man said again: "Who will believe your nonsense! People outside are all despicable and shameless people and are not worthy of trust!"

As he spoke, the group of villagers from Shewei Village surrounded Zhou Ran.

Although there is a big difference in strength, these people are not afraid and look like they are ready to die.

Zhou Ran was speechless. It seemed that this time, the only way to take away the merchant friends was a big fight.

"In that case, I won't be polite!"

Zhou Ran said lightly, and just as he was about to take action, a voice came from not far away.

"stop!"

All the villagers stopped moving, but looked quietly at the direction from which the sound came.

Not long after, the voice said again: "Bring this guest here, I want to see him!"

Several villagers looked at each other with incredulous expressions on their faces.

"The elder has not seen anyone for many years, why would he want to see this outsider?"

"Who is this outsider?"

"This guy is so powerful, aren't the elders afraid of him doing it?"

Although they couldn't understand it, the elder's order was absolute, and several villagers could only lead Zhou Ran towards the village angrily.

After only a few steps, we arrived at Shewei Village.

Shewei Village is not big, just a small village. There are not many villagers in the village, only about a hundred or so people.

Zhou Ran came to the center of the village and couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of him.

Isn't the crystal standing in the center of the village the same one I saw in Nanke's dream?

Zhou Ran would naturally not forget such a huge crystal.

Around the crystal, the merchants who came with him were lying in groups, each of them unconscious.

Zhou Ran asked the villagers leading the way, "Will these guys be okay?"

The villager who led the way said, "Don't worry. Since the elder wants to see you, it shows that you are not a bad person. You and your friends will not be in danger."

Zhou Ran was relieved and continued to follow several villagers to the depths of the village.

There is a house here. Several villagers stopped leading the way and stood outside the house.

Zhou Ran walked into the house, where an old man was sitting.

The old man had white hair and looked like a dead tree, but his eyes were bright.

The old man had no feet, and his lower body was a snake tail, which was motionless and drooped listlessly.

Zhou Ran suddenly realized that this old man was the snake monster he had fought in Nan Ke's dream. The snake monster was probably the old man when he was young, with great power and no one could defeat him.

When the old man saw Zhou Ran, he smiled and said directly: "I am Snake Old Man. You broke my dream?"

Snake Old Man got straight to the point, but Zhou Ran did not answer immediately. Instead, he said: "Old man, you are dying. Who hurt you like this?"

Zhou Ran's words made Snake Old Man silent. .

After a long time, Snake Old Man said: "Ask me who hurt me. Do you want to avenge me? If you don't plan to avenge me, don't ask about my past."

Zhou Ran said again: "If this person is an unforgivable person, I will avenge you; on the contrary, if you are an unforgivable person, I will send you to heaven now."
