Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Night Demon
The two of them flew for three full days before they finally arrived at the Secluded Valley. Along the way www.biquge.info Han Yi opened the Eye of Insight to the extreme, avoided the fourth-level demon beasts in the core area, and quietly rushed to the Secluded Valley with the charm.
Entering the secluded valley, it seemed that everything was quiet, and the huge valley was pitch black, black land, black mountain walls.
Walking all the way to the interior of the valley, more and more skeletons gradually appeared, and those skeletons were bigger than the other, and none of the demon beasts that seemed to die here were below the third level.
Coming to the end of the valley, a huge cave appeared on the black mountain wall, and the cave was pitch black and bottomless.
Approaching the cave, Han Yi saw that the cave was full of human bones, and among those human bones, some of them were actually wearing the disciple clothes of the Spirit Mansion, obviously a certain disciple who had taken over the task, but he had fallen here.
Seeing those skeletons, Han Yi secretly felt a pang in his heart, it seemed that this seemingly simple task of collecting medicine was not so easy to complete.
Han Yi and Mei Kui quietly hid behind the boulder on the side of the cave, their minds racing.
"This centrifugal flower was born in the place where the yin qi gathered, guarded by night bats, although those night bats are only second-level, but they are social demon beasts, thousands. ”
"Master, night bats gather in dark places, they are dark and afraid of light and fire, so they do not dare to leave their burrows during the day, and if we want to pick centrifugal flowers, we must act during the day. Day and night bats are sleeping, as long as you are careful not to alarm them, you will be fine. Mei Kui said.
"I know, but most of the spirit attributes I have cultivated are in conflict with the dark attributes, and even if I conceal my aura, it is difficult to guarantee that I will not be discovered by those beasts. Han Yi frowned.
"Then let the subordinates do the work for you, our ghost-level assassins have always been good at concealing the aura, and the spiritual technique of cultivation is also a dark attribute, entering here is like a fish entering the sea, and it is convenient to move. ”
Han Yi thought about it, and there seemed to be no other solution besides this method.
"Well, so be it, I'll pick you up here, and if you find out, quit immediately. ”
"Yes, master. The charm of the figure moved, turning into a black shadow and swept into the cavern, without stirring up any fluctuations in the darkness.
Han Yi looked at the place where Mei Kui disappeared, a smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart.
Once inside the cave, he made his way inside, and after a quarter of an hour, he stopped, leaned back against the mountain wall, and listened.
Rustling, rustling, and the subtle sound of friction resounded throughout the cavern, sounding like a surging tide to the Charm.
Although he couldn't see it, he knew that the top wall of the cave must be densely covered with black bats half a meter in size, and those bats curled up, folded their wings, and closed their eyes and fell asleep.
Once he alarms them, thousands of night bats will drown him. With his cultivation realm, he couldn't last long at all, so he could only do his best to restrain his aura and not let those night bats find him.
But fortunately, the Demon Spirit Technique is almost unique in the world when it comes to concealing aura, so he is not worried about being discovered by those night bats.
Mei Kui cautiously sneaked into the depths of the cave, and after a while, his eyes lit up. In the distance of the cavern, two small flowers with a ghostly blue aura bloomed in the darkness.
"Centrifugal flowers. Mei Kui was overjoyed, but he still didn't speed up his pace, just approached slowly, carefully picked the two centrifugal flowers, and put them into the space ring.
With the harvest in hand, Mei Kui continued to move forward, and after a while, more blue points of light appeared in the darkness, and those were the spiritual light emitted by centrifugal flowers.
In just half an hour, Mei Kui has collected dozens of centrifugal flowers. Originally, according to Han Yi's instructions, he only needed to collect twenty plants, but these centrifugal flowers contained amazing dark attribute aura, which helped him a lot, and after absorbing the aura in them, he was expected to break through the realm of the Spirit Sect.
Just as Mei Kui kept collecting centrifugal flowers, in the depths of the cave, an object that had fallen on the top wall opened its eyes, and a long blood light shot out of its pupils.
The thing looked at the ghost in the darkness from a distance of thousands of meters, and took in his movements completely.
In a rock crevice, more than a dozen centrifugal flowers bloomed quietly, and the glow emitted lit up a large black space.
Mei Kui was overjoyed, waved his hand to put those centrifugal flowers into the space ring, and just as he was about to leave, a faint sound of breaking the air suddenly came to mind behind him, and the feeling of extreme danger exploded in his mind.
His hairs stood on end, and he dodged. Boom, a black air blade several meters long flew past his body, slashing at the stone wall, the stone wall burst, and the rubble splashed.
Seeing the result caused by that air blade, Mei Kui's pupils constricted, and the mountain wall was directly blasted out of a bottomless hole. This kind of destructive power can definitely only be possessed by the attacks of Spirit Sect-level cultivators.
"It's really courageous that a human would dare to go deep into here. A phrase rang out from the cave.
Mei Kui was shocked, his body tensed completely, and the voice sounded so cold, mixed with inhuman madness.
Whirring, the air made a subtle explosion, and the charm kui urged the spiritual power with all his strength, and his body flashed, like a ghost. The two striking air blades missed, and the ground exploded one after another.
Mei Kui didn't dare to fight the thing in the darkness at all, and turned around and swept towards the outside of the cave, bursting out with unreserved speed.
The existence in the darkness looked at the figure of Mei Kui leaving, a pair of black membranous wings spread behind his back, and he laughed strangely and chased after him.
Han Yi and the others were outside the cave, the Eye of Insight was fully opened, and their spiritual power went deep into the darkness, and after a while, they caught the highly moving figure of Mei Kui. Everywhere he passed, the sleeping night bats in the cave woke up one after another, and they attacked overwhelmingly.
"Squeak, squeak. ”
"Hey, what is that?" Han Yi exclaimed, behind the group of night bats, there was actually a strange creature moving at high speed, and the speed was much faster than that of Mei Kui.
In just a few moments, that strange existence caught up with Mei Kui, waving his hand and sending out dozens of terrifying qi blades. Mei Kui dodged as he drew his sword to block, and every time those qi blades exploded under his long sword, a huge force would surge along the long sword, shaking him with blood and spitting blood.
Mei Kui used the power of those air blade attacks to shoot backwards, connecting the dots with his toes, and flying away. On that thing's body, he smelled a strong breath of death, so he could only run away, not daring to fight it at all.
Han Yi could only stand outside the cave and could not go deep into it. Once he stepped into the cave, he would inevitably wake up the sleeping night bats, and then he and Mei Kui would fall into the encirclement of the night bats, and it would be impossible to get out again, so he could only wait, wait for Mei Kui to come out.
The Eye of Insight watched everything in the cavern, and the charm desperately fled, the terrifying presence behind him chasing after thousands of night bats. The thing didn't seem to want to kill the Charm so quickly, he was playing a game of cat and mouse, and he wouldn't kill until the mouse got tired of running.
Mei Kui ran all the way, and suddenly saw the golden sunlight lit up in the corner not far away, he was overjoyed, and he went out of the cave and joined forces with Han Yi, that existence may not be their opponent, and the night bats are afraid of the sun, and they don't dare to go out at all during the day, so they are not afraid.
"Hope, hope is within reach, but unfortunately, you can't catch it. ”
The existence in the darkness laughed strangely, and the membrane wings shook, and the speed increased suddenly, and instantly appeared behind the charm kui, and a claw attacked.
Mei Kui was shocked, his scalp tingling, and the sound of the claws tearing through the air came clearly into his ears, so fast that he didn't have time to react.
"Damn, fight. Mei Kui simply didn't look back, and swung his sword backhand, and the black long sword stabbed at the existence behind him at a tricky angle.
Wow, his left shoulder was pierced by a sharp claw, and his bones were broken.
"Poof. ”
When, the being swung his claws and blocked Mei Kui's attack, he flashed and appeared in front of Mei Kui's eyes, like a completely dark shadow. Behind the humanoid shadow, a pair of membranous wings splayed out, obscuring vision.
Mei Kui was terrified, what kind of monster was this.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten blood food, dark attribute cultivator, your flesh and blood are a great supplement for me. ”
"What the hell are you?" asked Mei Kui, who forced himself to calm down, coldly. His voice sounded a little shaky.
"I, I'm not a thing, I'm a night demon, the great night demon. The being spoke, and a claw struck at him, piercing the head of the ghost.
The sound of the sword unsheathed reverberated in the cavern, and the night demon felt a great crisis, turning around and swinging his claws and slamming into a silver light.
The surging force surged in, knocking him back dozens of meters away. His claws were torn and bloody, and blood was pouring everywhere, obviously unable to withstand the powerful force collision just now.
"The hosts. Mei Kui was surprised when he saw Han Yi's figure.
"Let's talk about it when we get out. Han Yi swung his sword, and dozens of sword rays with the power of thunder burst out, and in an instant, hundreds of night bats died under the attack of those sword rays, and the corpses fell.
The two of them quickly swept out of the cave, stopped dozens of meters away, looked at the exit of the cave, and waited for the terrifying existence.
"Yes, it's very good, I haven't encountered such a powerful body for a long time, I don't know if I will directly break through to the fourth order after devouring your flesh and blood?"
There was a rough male voice in the cavern, like iron and stone rubbing. A moment later, a figure slowly walked out of the cave, countless night bats in the cave squeaked and screamed, and the sound of flapping their wings sounded so huge to Han Yi, overwhelming.
The thing that called itself the Night Demon looked exactly like a human. **'s upper body was pale, and there was no trace of blood, and his face was the same, like a plain white silk. Pointed ears, sharp fangs, blood-colored eyes.
Behind him, a pair of membranous wings were completely folded, exactly like the wings of those night bats.
Seeing the appearance of the night demon, Han Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, but he was a little shocked in his heart. This person, he knew, he had seen the portrait of this person when he took the task.
"Are you...... Demon cultivator forest madness. ”
