Chapter 20: Strange Passage
As Shangguan Murong went deeper, the lights became dimmer and dimmer, until he could only see the road faintly.
"There's light ahead. ”
A glimmer of light appeared at the end of the passage, that should be the exit, Shangguan Murong sped up a few points, she already felt that she was going to collapse in this environment.
After another half of the day, there was no light source in the passage, only the blinding light at the end.
At this time, Shangguan Murong's heart was in turmoil, she had a feeling that she couldn't get out, she wanted to go back, but the way back had been completely swallowed up by the darkness, and she could only keep moving forward.
Another day, the strange thing is that Shangguan Murong didn't feel any hunger at all, obviously he hadn't reached Bigu yet, but as time went on, the panic in Shangguan Murong's heart became heavier and heavier.
"This is what my fathers left to future generations, and how can it harm me? ”
Shangguan Murong's heart kept chanting this sentence, and it was also this sentence that supported her to keep moving forward.
Another day, Shangguan Murong felt soreness all over her body, and the most important thing was that there was no Xuan Power here to recover her.
"But from generation to generation, who can guarantee that there will be no business trips?"
In a few days, Shangguan Murong had reached the brink of collapse, and what she supported in her heart was her yearning for life, as for what ancestors had already left behind.
But when this time came to a year, Shangguan Murong had completely collapsed, but she was the only one in the claustrophobic passage, no matter what, only she could feel it.
Shangguan Murong leaned against the damp wall, she had been sitting here for a long time, her eyes were hollow, not at all like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, exuding the twilight of an old man.
"Do you have to be here for the rest of your life?"
staring blankly at the light in the distance, she already understood that it was just an illusion, an illusion that supported her to walk this way.
Thinking back carefully about his body, from childhood to adulthood, from mortal to cultivator, recalling meeting Huang Wuji, then Shangguan Wan'er, and recalling the mother he had never met.
recalled again and again, which made Shangguan Murong seem to grasp something, ethereal.
"For what?"
Shangguan Murong had such a question in her mind, and everyone she met instantly appeared in her mind.
"For protection, for all that I want to protect!"
remembered that Shangguan Feng had to go to the banquet for himself, remembered that Mrs. Yue had to suffer humiliation for Princess Yuelan, and remembered that Lao Jiao, who failed to transform into a dragon, left a bunch of treasures just to help Shangguan Wan'er find a good home.
And what about yourself?
I can't die yet!
I still have my father, Shangguan Wan'er, and Daoist Wang Feng's wishes, all of this, isn't it what I have changed?
How could I die in this secret place left by my ancestors?
There are still my close relatives outside who are waiting for me to go back, waiting for me to carry forward the Shangguan family!
I lowered my head and looked at the scarred limbs, but what was this?
Shangguan Murong stood up and continued to move towards the light source!
If I fall once, I won't fall in the same place once.
Time has passed, a hundred years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Shangguan Murong has also entered his old age, but those two pairs of eyes are still radiating!
"Squeak. ”
The cry of the rat attracted Shangguan Murong's attention, and the mouse, which had been half a meter long, was staring at Shangguan Murong.
She stepped forward and looked closely at what she thought was the only living thing, it was so beautiful and moving.
Shangguan Murong stretched out his hand and stroked it, and the mouse seemed to be unable to stand it and left.
But just as Shangguan Murong was about to chase after her, more and more cries appeared in her ears, and after a while, her front was full of rats.
The atmosphere was very awkward at the moment, both of them looked at each other, but no one acted rashly.
"Are you trying to stop me from getting out?"
Shangguan Murong's fingers moved slightly, and a long sword appeared in her hand.
"I have to take this road!"
Every time Shangguan Murong's arm waved, several mice died under her sword, but there were many mice, and she was also colored.
The endless killing had already made Shangguan Murong forget about time, only to know that his back was full of mouse corpses.
As the last one was killed by Shangguan Murong, Shangguan Murong sat on the ground, his body was already scratched and scarred, and there was hardly a piece of good meat.
Shangguan Murong was trying to sleep peacefully, but a white light lit up, and she stood in the middle of the tunnel again, and her exhaustion made her involuntarily sit on the ground, but an endless cat appeared in front of her!
"This!"
Shangguan Murong's trembling voice, but the group of cats didn't give her the slightest space at all, and pounced directly.
The instantaneous pain made Shangguan Murong have to continue to lift the sword in his hand and swing it again.
It was the last cat left, this time Shangguan Murong learned to be smart, she cut off the cat's limbs, and the cat couldn't move because it didn't have limbs, so it could only keep growling.
Her eyes had already been closed, and she was in a state of suspended animation, but there was still a white light, and a familiar scene appeared, but her strength recovered slightly.
In the face of these animals that had been upgraded again, Shangguan Murong no longer had any strength to resist, and in less than a while, he was pounced on by the animals, constantly biting and dividing.
"Relieved?"
At this time, there was no Shangguan Murong on the ground, and even the blood was licked away, and the tunnel seemed to be quiet again.
The familiar white light was still bright, and Shangguan Murong appeared here again with a sword.
"Can't you die?"
The beast didn't give her a thought, but still rushed forward as if she were desperate, and the tired Shangguan Murong was once again pounced on, but this time she obviously felt that her senses were magnified several times, and the feeling of biting made her feel painful.
Another white light flashed, Shangguan Murong was already looking at the group of beasts in front of her in fear, she kept running backwards, hoping to get rid of it, but the truth was not as she wished, she was knocked down again, this time her senses were magnified again, and it was dozens of times!
The miserable screams had already drowned out the roar of the beast, and this time it was not so fast, it lasted for more than half an hour before Shangguan Murong died.
The white light once again made Shangguan Murong hold the sword in his hand tightly.
"Come on, brute!"
Even if she was knocked down, she would stand up instantly, not wanting to feel the pain again, this time, she was not fighting for others, she was fighting for herself!
Killing the beasts in front of her, Shangguan Murong didn't immediately collapse to the ground, she knew that the next wave of beasts would appear in less than a while, she could only kill them through!
Picking up the beast meat on the ground and putting it in her mouth, the strong smell of blood Shangguan Murong turned a blind eye, and now she can only maintain her strength and meet the next battle.
Time seemed to be a superfluous word here, because she didn't know how many times she had killed or how many times she had died, she only knew that she could only raise the sword in her hand and kill all the living creatures in front of her.
After chewing the beast meat in her mouth once, Shangguan Murong looked in front of her with her sword, and after a long time, she was no longer afraid, and she was no longer afraid of death, even if it had been magnified hundreds of thousands of times at this time!
"What's next? ”
