Volume 1 The Wind Will Rise and the Clouds Will Be Treacherous Chapter 28 Reaching the Peak (1)
For seven years, she refused to even let Yu know her real name. Xu Guan was lying in the ravine, holding the black cat, and suddenly said this
The wind and snow outside the ravine did not abate, but became more violent, the sky was dark, and night fell.
"Alas, young man. The black cat looked up and saw Xu Guan's lonely face, and the feeling of heartache could be seen at a glance. comforted: "I'll ask if we meet in the future." Since she can take the risk to save you, she still cares about you in her heart. ”
In fact, without the black cat's explanation, Xu Guan can also figure this out: Wu Yan came here to form an alliance with the Nightfish, and the stakes are self-evident, but she was willing to risk being discovered by the Nightfish and losing trust and causing the alliance to fail, and saved Xu Guan under the eyelids of the devouring dragon, which is enough to prove Xu Guan's position in Wu Yan's heart.
"It's just, why did she become like this?" Xu Guan thought back to Xianglin back then, the touch of color in the gray and white. "How can you be willing to help the demon clan to bring disaster to the world, how can you take the lives of others for your own immortality?"
"I'm afraid that only she herself can answer you. The black cat stretched and was almost rested. "By the way, I have news for you. ”
"What's the news?"
"When I was eavesdropping outside the building, I heard Wu Yan say that your jade pendant was thrown in the locked dragon well in the imperial capital. ”
"Really?" Xu Guan instantly became excited.
"Quietly. The black cat hurriedly poked its head out and looked in all directions.
"Yu is going to lock the dragon well and go to the jade pendant. Xu Guan immediately stood up and jumped out of the ravine, and the wind and snow were much smaller at this time.
"Don't eat the fruit of the Divine Tree that you worked so hard to grab?" the black cat reminded him.
"This ......" Xu Guan took out the black-skinned fruit from his arms.
"I don't know if there will be any reaction after eating this fruit, if the reaction is too violent, I am afraid that it will be noticed by the nightfish. The black cat jumped on a treetop, looked around, and after making sure it was safe, he said, "Get out of here first, then find a secluded place to eat, and then regain your strength first." ”
"Okay, Yu's current strength is insignificant in the big war, and it is important to recover his strength first. Xu Guan and the black cat flew away together.
A moment later, a burly man came near this ravine, it was none other than the eldest son of the Eater Patriarch, Eater.
At this moment, the wind and snow were strong before, Xu Guan and the black cat's footsteps were light, and the footprints left along the way had long been covered by the wind and snow, and the other two night ghosts and the two old slaves could not find the exact trace, so they could only scatter and search within a certain range by feeling.
A while ago, the wind and snow had only subsided, and he finally searched and came to the ravine where Xu Guan was hiding, and he saw two lines of shallow footprints extending all the way, so he sent a signal to several other people, and before they could gather over, he should chase after them first.
He chased all the way and left a mark, believing that others would follow the mark to find him.
The black cat and Xu Guan left a little faster than when they came, especially Xu Guan, after Wu Yan deliberately gave him two forces to nourish, he felt even lighter as a swallow when he used the method of getting up.
In the second half of the night, when they arrived at the edge of a small modern city, most of the people in the city had slept, and most of the bustling lights were extinguished, and only a few sporadic lights faintly reflected the outline of the small city.
The two hesitated, but entered the city anyway, stopping in a remote corner of the city.
This is a small alley, the outside light can't shine in, the alley is dark, this environment is exactly what Xu Guan and the black cat want.
The black cat lay on the wall to control the wind, Xu Guan sat cross-legged in the alley, peeled off the black skin of the fruit, and a strange fragrance wafted out, revealing the blood-red flesh inside, probably because it had been put for too long, the color of the flesh became dark red, and the flesh was no longer moist.
The black cat on the wall smelled a strange fragrance and frowned, this is a bit troublesome.
Xu Guan didn't know how to take this fruit, just like eating an ordinary fruit, he ate the flesh in two or three bites, then threw the peel aside, and sat there quietly waiting for the effect of the medicine to take effect.
After five minutes, Xu Guan felt a warm heat rise in his stomach, slowly getting hotter and hotter, and after a while, it was like a fire burning in his stomach, scorching his internal organs.
Xu Guan was sweating all over his body, his clothes were soon soaked with sweat, and the veins around his body seemed to be infused into boiling boiling water by an infusion, which was extremely painful and stimulating. He couldn't help but snort in pain, and used his true qi to travel through the meridians of his body over and over again to resist this pain.
"Are you okay?" the black cat was a little worried when she saw Xu Guan's appearance.
Xu Guan couldn't respond to the black cat, his knees trembled on the ground, his eyes were closed, his skin became red, and a trace of white gas came out of the top of his head.
What's even worse is that the sweat and white gas on Xu Guan's body also have a strange fragrance, and its fragrance is even stronger than the fruit that has just been peeled.
Eater and the others have chased to the vicinity of the small city, and suddenly smelled a faint fragrance wafting from the city, Eater Gui's spirit was shocked, and exchanged glances with the two night spirit masters, they were sure that this was the smell of the fruit of the sacred tree, and immediately followed the smell to the city.
The two old slaves glanced at each other, and the two of them didn't notice anything unusual about the smell in the air, but they all went, and these two had to follow.
The three nightmarls climbed and jumped between the buildings in the city, making full use of the nightmarls' three-dimensional movement ability, and the two old slaves followed with some difficulty.
If it were on flat ground, the speed of the two old slaves would definitely not be weaker than that of Devouring and the others, but the natural advantages of the night dragon would only be shown in the lush forests and dense tall buildings.
As the smell of the strange fragrance became stronger and stronger, it became more and more certain that Xu Guan was here.
The black cat squatting on the wall saw several black figures jumping alternately between the houses and buildings from a distance, and rushed towards this side, and shouted in his heart. Glancing back at Xu Guan, a trace of ruthlessness flashed over his face, and he greeted the others.
The black cat jumped high, the bright silver light on the tip of its tail flickering, and quickly threw out several bolts of lightning, hitting the devouring and the others.
"An attack of this magnitude doesn't hurt us at all. There was also a faint hint of black qi on his fist, scattering a bolt of lightning.
The black cat hissed, and the faint explosion of beeps on its body, and the surface of its skin shone with slender lightning, turning into a human form to stop them.
Devouring the Decay punched, the black cat shone with lightning's five fingers into claws, grabbed the fist of the devourer, squeezed hard, the devouring of the decay exhaled in pain, a night demon next to him saw that the situation was not good, immediately kicked out, the black cat let go of the fist of the devouring deer, and turned around to prevent the kick. The third Nightfish made a quick move, joined him in the same place, and teamed up to flank the black cat. Devouring shook his aching fist, but fortunately there was no major problem, and he joined the fight again.
The black cat's body is as fast as lightning, as unpredictable as the wind and clouds, shuttling and entangled between Devouring and others, and Devouring and others rely on the unique body of the night reel, three fights and one can stabilize the situation, the hard power of the two old slaves is not weak, but the body is not as good as these three night spirit masters, and they can't intervene in this kind of battle that relies on physical skills.
