Chapter 111: The Blood Moon Leads the Way
This fainting made me completely incapacitated, and the only thing I could think of before I lost consciousness was four words: "resign myself to fate"
When I finally woke up, the first thing I saw was a flashlight that kept flashing, and I was unconscious for at least five or six hours, otherwise the flashlight would not have reached the verge of running out of power.
My equipment and golden mask were all thrown away from me, and a note was pressed under the mask: "If you want to save Ye Xun, bring the golden mask to me, and the mask will take you to where you should go." β
After I entered the Ping Tianhai, I had the opportunity to wear a golden mask several times, but I have been resisting this attempt.
Ever since I put on the Golden Mask in the Lonely Mountain Cave, I have had an irrepressible fear of the mask from the bottom of my heart.
God knows, what will happen to me after I put on the mask, I may be replaced by a certain person's consciousness and become a successor, or I may go completely crazy and never know who I am, maybe I will be like Old Man Sun and their experiments, bleeding from the seven orifices and dying on the spot.
This time, I was still gambling with myself.
It's false to say that I'm not afraid, I've always felt that there is no one in this world who is really not afraid of death, but what can I do if I'm afraid?
People have already walked on the guillotine, no matter how they shrink their necks, the executioner's ghost head knife will also fall, it is better to raise your chest and raise your head, maybe you can still see the cold beauty of the blade cutting through the sky, and the poignant beauty of blood in the sky.
Besides, there are Ye Xun and Lu Xinyao waiting for me to save my life, betting three lives with one life, no matter how you look at it, it is a good deal, this one, I have to bet.
I slowly pushed the two spikes on the golden mask back into place, held the golden mask with both hands, took a deep breath, and slapped my hand on my face, the two golden spikes instantly pierced the skin on the top of my head, and after an inch below my scalp in the direction of my skull, warm blood immediately dripped down the sides of my cheeks.
After just one breath, the two golden thorns grabbed at my skull like two barbs, and for a moment I almost wanted to reach out and tear the mask off, but in a split second, I forced my hands back in the middle of the way, pressed them to my knees, and suddenly tightened, and grabbed all ten fingers into the flesh at the same time, as if this was the only way to reduce the fear in my heart.
At that moment, I could clearly hear the golden thorns like my bones about to penetrate through my bones, making a slight noise above my head, and the sharp pain like a skull bursting from the top of my head to the base of my ears, my whole head seemed to burst open from the inside out at any moment. The relentless pain and endless fear swirled back and forth in my mind, and I could grab the mask and walk away at any moment.
But the gambling game has begun, can I give up Ye Xun halfway and leave Pingtianhai alone?
Life and death are just a momentary choice, or a momentary wait.
Wait, we'll see in a few seconds.
When I closed my eyes resignedly, all the fingers of my hands were already in the flesh, but I was unconscious, and the only thing I could feel was the two golden thorns that kept drilling into my skull, and they were slowly digging deeper into the top of my head
After only a few moments, the golden spikes piercing my skull suddenly stopped, and all I could feel was the sharp swelling pain of the two golden spikes on my head, but I didn't know if the two spikes had drilled through my skull, or how deep they had penetrated into the bone.
According to common sense, it is impossible for an extremely soft gold to pierce a person's bones, but the golden mask cannot be measured by common sense, and I did not even dare to open my eyes easily, because I was afraid that when I opened my eyes, I would see dripping from my body*.
I took a few deep breaths before I managed to calm down and slowly open my eyes, but the first thing I saw was a blood-red full moon.
The strange blood moon is far away in the sky, and it seems to be close in front of me, I am obviously in the cave, where did the blood moon come from?
I remembered that Old Man Sun said that they had to reach a certain destination on the night of the Blood Moon, and I had just asked so many secrets, but I forgot to go to the Night of the Blood Moon. Now the blood moon is here, but I have no idea what the danger will be.
As I tentatively stood up, the Blood Moon seemed to retreat a few feet, and it was guiding me forward?
The thought crossed my mind, and I took a few more steps, and the blood moon receded as I moved.
The mask man said: The golden mask will take me to Ye Xun. Is that what it means?
As I walked out of the cave as I moved the Blood Moon, I suddenly saw a blood-drenched dragon head out of the corner of my eye.
That manta dragon isn't dead yet! it's waiting for me at the mouth of the sinkhole?
I slammed the slam on the wrist, and the dragon's blood-stained dragon head came to me from the diagonal bottom, and the dragon's teeth were almost sticking to my face.
With the speed of a manta dragon at such a close distance, even if my speed is twice as fast, I can't escape the fate of being torn off by the dragon's mouth.
None of them were torn apart by the baton and eaten by the internal organs, otherwise the batt's face would not be covered with blood.
What I didn't expect was that the battosaurus stretched out its bloody nose and sniffed hard twice on my face, then slowly retreated.
Was it me wearing the Golden Mask that allowed the Manta to withdraw?
When I looked sideways at the pot-bellied bat, cold sweat suddenly welled up on my forehead againβit wasn't that the manta dragon didn't want to eat me, but that he was too full to eat anything else.
I've heard that beasts that have eaten enough will not hunt because they want to kill, but only a few predators will not hunt for prey, but only for the slaughter of prey, such as foxes.
As I slowly retreated, the blood moon in front of me suddenly disappeared, and when I turned my head again, the blood moon was still hanging in the same direction, but it was obviously smaller than the original.
How can a Blood Moon get smaller?
I was startled, and the masked man's voice suddenly sounded in my ears: "This is the Blood Moon Guiding the Netherworld, if you follow the Blood Moon forward, you can find Ye Xun." However, as soon as you look back elsewhere, the Blood Moon will become smaller and smaller, and eventually disappear. The Blood Moon is gone, you will never find a place to hide it, and it's time for you to say goodbye to your friends. Of course ......"
The masked man changed his words and said, "You can also choose not to look at the blood moon." Hurry up and run back, maybe you can escape from Pingtianhai before the manta dragon gets hungry. The choice is yours. Where to go, listen to the convenience. β
"You ......" I just said one word, and the other person's voice disappeared in my ears, and no matter how much I called, I didn't see the slightest response from the other party.
I knew that the other party was not far away, but I didn't dare to look back to find his location. The blood moon hanging in the sky was like a shackle, tightly imprisoning my gaze.
I stood there for just a few seconds before moving in the direction of the Blood Moon.
I had just walked five or six meters away, and the sound of the manta dragon's four paws on the grass followed me, and the manta dragon was not going to spare me as a living prey, it was waiting for its belly to empty until it could fit me.
I took a step forward, and the manta dragon followed suit, and the fishy dragon's breath sprayed down on me, and after a few moments I felt a layer of sticky moisture set off my back.
But the blood moon in front of me is still receding inch by inch, it is guiding me, but it doesn't let me go too fast, I don't dare to overtake the blood moon and rush forward, God knows, the blood moon will disappear after me is thrown behind.
I chose between life and death every step I took, the crisis was gradual, every step was terrifying, and I was still trembling when I first walked out of the sinkhole, but I was soon relieved - what about the blood moon to guide the way? what about the manta dragon afterward?
Instead of being afraid, it is better to hold your head high and stride forward, at least the moment my head breaks and the blood flows, the bones come out with a clanging sound.
I went all the way over the mountains and mountains, but a vague shadow appeared in front of me - Ye Xun.
I was slightly shocked, but Ye Xun's figure began to become clearer and clearer, and when Ye Xun's miserable white face appeared in front of me, the blood-red marks on his body also pierced my eyes.
My heart suddenly froze, and my two fists clenched unconsciously, but I didn't stop at all.
Ye Xun in the distance was like a piece of paper blown by the wind, floating in the air in a trance: "Wang Huan, leave Pingtianhai and go quickly, it's still too late." β
I turned a deaf ear and watched the blood moon move forward, but Ye Xun's voice came again: "I'm already dead, and I'll die when I come out of the cave." There's no point in looking for me. β
I said in a deep voice, "You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death." β
Ye Xun smiled faintly: "You risked your life and rushed in just to take a look at the corpse?"
My voice began to gradually get cold: "Ye Xun is alive, I will take it with me to kill Pingtianhai, Ye Xun is dead, I will collect his body and bury him." β
Ye Xun said in a low voice: "You are not telling the truth, you want to resurrect me with the golden mask, right? Go back quickly! The golden mask is a scam, a scam through the ages, no one can be resurrected with a golden mask." Even if it's a resurrection of a corpse, it can't be. β
"Take my word for it, don't go any further. I don't know how many people have been killed by the Golden Mask's deception, Yelu Deguang, Shu Luping, and other ancient masters have all been killed by the Golden Mask, what can you do when you go in?"
I let Ye Xun chatter endlessly, and strode forward without saying a word, Ye Xun saw that I didn't react, but he himself began to become more and more impatient: "Wang Huan, don't leave if you listen to me." β
"Wang Huan, did you hear what I was saying?"
"Wang Huan, I'm asking you?"
"Wang Huan, Wang Huan, if you don't answer again, don't blame me for being unkind. β
