Chapter Twenty-Three: Escape from Death
Shi Ming stood at the entrance of the village and saw a very strange creature standing in the village.
The creature's strange body danced several articulated limbs, four long limbs that carried a sturdy villager, whose huge mouthparts bit down on his thick neck, and the villager had lost his breath.
The strange creature sucked the blood of the captured villagers, completely ignoring the stones and torches thrown by the villagers.
Shi Ming looked up at the demon beast, holding the black long knife tightly in his hand, and the cyan vitality of his arm surged.
Swing a knife!
One of the limbs of the monster beast was cut off by Shi Ming, and a transparent liquid spewed out from the wound, and the faint vitality was sucked into the blade by the black long knife, and the end of the monster beast's limbs instantly withered.
The demon beast seemed to be in pain, and its body staggered, throwing the villagers who were sucking it to the ground.
The countless tentacles on the head of the strange monster beast waved, as if they were catching Shi Ming's breath in the air, and quickly locked on Shi Ming under him.
A limb stabbed at Shi Ming without warning, and Shi Ming rolled to the right, and the tip of the limb was like the tip of a knife, nailed to the road, leaving a half-foot-deep stab mark.
Shi Ming turned his head and saw the deep pit caused by the limb, and his heart sank suddenly.
The sharp limbs pierced straight at Shi Ming, Shi Ming couldn't dodge, so he had to put the long black knife in front of him.
The sharp tips of the limbs did not leave marks on the black long knife, but the tremendous force that came from it still made Shi Ming difficult to parry.
A violent shock was transmitted to his arms, making Shi Ming feel sore, and before he could react, the strange monster beast struck again, Shi Ming's arms trembled a little, and the black long knife in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Several long limbs of the strange monster beast kept waving, as if they turned into war spears and plunged into Shi Ming, Shi Ming had to keep dodging, and he didn't have time to parry.
Each blow of the sharp limbs of the strange monster beast stirred up a burst of dirt, and Shi Ming's surroundings were already full of holes.
The cries of the children and women in the village were loud, and the big yellow dog, which was about to chase and bite when they saw the living on weekdays, did not dare to come out, and hid in the corner and whimpered.
Shi Ming saw that the severed limbs of the strange monster beast had healed, and his heart sank a little more.
"This demon beast is really terrifying, and the wound heals instantly. Shi Ming dodged the attack of the strange monster beast while thinking about countermeasures, "This monster must be lured out of the village, otherwise it will cause the villagers to be injured." ”
"Village chief!" Shi Ming saw the village chief hiding in the corner, so he rolled over and approached the village chief.
The village chief saw Shi Ming approaching him, and the strange monster beast behind him also followed inseparably, and hurriedly waved his hand in fright.
"Don't, don't!" the village chief twisted his head to the side, waving his hands quickly.
"I'll lure this demon beast out of the village, you settle down in the village, don't worry about me!" Shi Ming flashed quickly past the village chief.
The strange monster beast followed, and several nimble limbs swept past the village chief, and the sharp blades pierced the village chief's side at the ends, leaving several deep pits in the ground.
The village chief watched Shi Ming and the strange monster disappear at the entrance of the village, and suddenly sat down beside the wall, panting heavily.
"Oh my God......" The village chief rubbed his chest vigorously, got up on his hands and feet, and hurriedly beckoned the villagers to hide in a safe place.
The villagers saw Shi Ming and the strange monster beast gradually moving away from the village, and they all walked out from behind the bunker. The villagers all had a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, gasping and standing together.
"Can this Lord Shi kill this demon beast?"
"I don't know, it doesn't seem like a good posture. ”
"Whatever it takes, as long as we can live. ”
"What if Master Shi dies?"
"If you're dead, you're dead, Jiuxing City isn't the only demon hunter, after this hurdle, let the village chief go to Jiuxing City to apply for asylum. ”
"Yes, it's not a common thing for demon hunters to die, the demon hunter in the next village died a few days ago. ”
"By the way, Lao Wang, haven't you seen this demon beast, how did you come back alive with such a terrible demon beast. ”
"No, how can it be so terrible, the monster beast I saw is very similar to the white-fronted tiger in the mountains and forests, and the monster beast can't go up the tree, otherwise you think you can see me?"
The villagers looked at Shi Ming's direction in the distance and talked nonsense.
......
Shi Ming kept running in the mountains and forests, using the blessing of his vitality, the strength of his body far exceeded usual, but the consumption of cyan vitality was also a lot, Shi Ming only felt that there was not much vitality left in his body.
Shi Ming didn't dare to turn his head to look at the strange monster beast behind him, but the sound of rustling in the canopy behind him was endless, as if it was like a shadow.
As Shi Ming's vitality continued to be consumed, the voice behind him seemed to be getting closer and closer, and Shi Ming seemed to be able to feel that the terrible limb was about to pierce his back in the next second.
Shi Ming kept panting, and his mind quickly thought of a way to deal with it.
"This demon beast is so terrifying, I'm afraid it's not a demon beast in the Xuan Realm. My current strength is still too weak, that Fang Kai, the realm of the extraordinary is so strong..."Shi Ming's eyes instantly became gloomy, "I'm still too weak now, I want to be stronger, I want strength ......"
Shi Ming was in a trance, and a long limb of the strange monster beast slashed at Shi Ming's back like a sharp long knife. Shi Ming only felt a huge force coming from behind, as if he had been hit by the old cow of Uncle Liu's house at the entrance of the village, and the whole person rolled forward several times and hit a huge tree trunk before stopping.
Shi Ming felt a chill coming from behind him, and then a pain slowly came, gradually exceeding the range that his body could bear, making Shi Ming can't help but howl.
Shi Ming's right hand touched his back, and he touched a warm liquid in his hand, and a violent aura in his body instantly occupied his mind, and his eyes turned red.
He realized that he might enter that killing state again, his natal vitality was constantly swaying, exuding bursts of cool aura, and Shi Ming's eyes were constantly changing between Qingming and scarlet.
Shi Ming sighed, his heart was full of discouragement, even if he entered that state of killing, he would inevitably die, it was better to stay clear and let himself think back to his previous life.
Shi Ming's figure suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, "Third uncle, we will meet again soon, and when the time comes, you must take me to meet our relatives below......"
The long limbs of the strange monster beast picked up Shi Ming and slowly sent him to the ugly head.
Shi Ming saw that the ugly head of the strange monster beast had no eyes, but only countless extremely short tentacles, constantly dancing, and the huge mouthparts with several pairs of jaws slowly stretched to his neck.
Shi Ming could smell the dark and rotting smell coming from the huge mouthparts of the strange monster beast, which made Shi Ming's stomach tumble upside down.
A bloody right hand was stretched out in front of the ugly head, and Shi Ming's eyes were closed, this was Shi Ming's last means of resistance.
The tentacles on the head of the strange monster beast seemed to sense that there was fresh blood on Shi Ming's right hand, and countless long tentacle-like organs stretched out from the huge mouthparts, slowly licking Shi Ming's right hand.
Shi Ming only felt a cold feeling coming from his right hand, like the feeling of licking the civet cat next door when he was a child, and a sticky feeling came from the palm of his hand.
Shi Ming thought of the third uncle at this moment, and thought of every beautiful moment that happened in the past days. , and suddenly a sense of peace was born in my heart.
The strange monster seemed to stop moving, and its entire body seemed to be motionless as if it had become a sculpture.
Shi Ming's life was like a year, but the demon beast seemed to have stopped its next move, Shi Ming slowly withdrew his hand and opened his eyes.
The countless tentacle-like organs of the demon beast danced constantly, and many tentacles were intertwined, as if they were tasting something.
There was a familiar breath from the blood of the prey in front of him, the breath of a creature living with his ancestors, powerful and terrifying.
The strange monster beast seemed to have returned to ancient times, and its ancestors were instantly sucked up by the terrible creatures.
This is a fear imprinted in the depths of life, although several epochs have passed, the aura of fear in the depths of the soul still slowly spreads to the whole body, making the strange monster beast dare not move for a minute.
Shi Ming and the strange monster beast were motionless, time seemed to stand still, and Shi Ming could hear his own heartbeat.
Half an hour later.
The head of the strange monster beast suddenly moved, and Shi Ming gently placed it on the ground, and its long limbs curled together flexibly, slowly prostrate on the ground.
A white vitality slowly escaped from the huge mouthparts, and Shi Ming looked startled, as if he was in a dream, his face was full of incredulity.
That white vitality was just like the white vitality that escaped from Shi Ming's black long knife when he was in the Zhao family, with an ancient and pure aura.
The white vitality escaped to Shi Ming's body, swam around, and slowly poured into the gray bracer of his right hand.
After absorbing this extremely pure white vitality, the gray bracer seemed to be a little denser at the root of Shi Ming's right arm.
A few traces of white vitality were inhaled by Shi Ming's natal vitality, and the vitality contained in the natal vitality instantly reached saturation, and Shi Ming only felt a sense of stagnation coming from his natal vitality, and a feeling of breaking the realm.
After the strange monster beast felt that its white vitality was absorbed, the countless tentacles of the ugly head danced happily.
The long limbs slowly moved back, and the whole body gradually moved away from Shi Ming.
After not feeling Shi Ming's breath, the strange monster beast quickly climbed the tall trees away from this area as if it had escaped after a catastrophe.
Shi Ming's brain was as if he had secretly drunk strong wine, and he was dizzy, not knowing what was going on.
It's just that the stagnation of the natal vitality kept coming, and Shi Ming hurriedly summoned the little strength left in his body to sit on the snow and run the Qingqi technique.
As if some barrier had been broken in the natal vitality, Shi Ming's body shook violently, and the cyan vitality between heaven and earth was attracted and flocked to Shi Ming.
Shi Ming's natal vitality instantly expanded a lot.
A large amount of cyan vitality appeared on the huge wound behind Shi Ming's back, and the wound began to heal rapidly.
Enter the Mortal Realm Four Heavens!
Shi Ming gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, and the mood for the rest of his life after the catastrophe instantly surged into his heart.
"That's what it is...... Is it a blessing in disguise to escape death?" Shi Ming glanced around and slowly walked towards the village.
