Chapter 10: The Origin of the Demon Beast
Lan Sheng knelt on the ground, holding his hands over his ears and unable to stand up for a long time.
Yuan Kang hurriedly ran over and carefully examined him, and only then relieved himself when he didn't find anything unusual.
"Brother, brother, how are you?"
"My head is so dizzy, and my ears are tingling for a while. Lan Sheng's brows were furrowed, and his expression was pained.
"It's all about you leaving in the dark, how can you still make a bright light. Fortunately, I didn't worry about you and came out, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to get out of this temple, so what else would you talk about?"
"Brother Yuan, what is that thing, why is it so weird?" Lan Sheng's eyes were half-open, and his thick and wide eyebrows on one side were still throbbing from time to time because of the pain in his ears.
Yuan Kang looked back at the depths of the dark cave, turned back to Lan Sheng and said, "Brother, this is not the place to talk, I just threw half a luminous stone at it, that thing won't last long, and it will come to you later." ”
"So what are we going to do now?, are we going back to the temple?" Lan Sheng struggled to his feet, ready to return the way he came.
"No, let's go ahead and go to the place where there is light at the entrance of the cave. There, it doesn't usually follow. ”
The two said that they would go, Yuan Kang helped Lan Sheng, stumbled for about half an hour, and finally saw a little dim light at the end of the winding road.
"That's it!" Yuan Kang took Lan Sheng's arm off his shoulder, and Lan Sheng slowly slid down against the wall and sat down on the ground.
"That guy was once out looking for something to eat, and I came across it in an eye of the wind. Yuan Kang didn't wait for Lan Sheng to ask, and opened the conversation box by himself.
"Eye of the Storm, is it like the big red spot outside?" Lan Sheng still felt a little dizzy, and rubbed his two hands back and forth on his forehead.
"No, no, no, it's much smaller than the Great Red Spot. Judging from my experience of traveling through the auspicious cloud void in the past two years, the Great Red Spot may be the biggest storm in this void. ”
"How do you go to the storm to find food, how can there be food in this hellish place?" Lan Sheng realized this question and asked with some surprise.
"Don't look at the environment here, there is still a plant that can survive here. This plant is attached to the kind of luminous stone I just took up, and the leaves are large, but the plant does not grow very tall. It blooms, but the flowers are not big and have no fragrance, but the fruits are very sweet. There are countless storms large and small in this auspicious cloud void, and there are almost one or two magnetic mountains floating in the eye of each storm. It's overgrown with this plant. ”
"So, you just lived so long by eating the fruit of this plant?" Hearing this, Lan Sheng swallowed quietly.
"Nature can't rely on this fruit alone, this plant blooms once a year, the flowering period is very short, and the fruit grows very quickly, and many times I don't remember to pick it, and the fruit rots on the branches and leaves. ”
"What do you eat when there is no fruit?"
"Eat the leaves, eat the rhizomes. The rhizome of this thing is very watery, the taste is glutinous, and the taste is very sweet," Yuan Kang actually smashed his mouth.
"But what does this have to do with that weird thing inside?" Lan Sheng felt much better at the moment, his head was not dizzy and his ears were not hurting.
"The strange thing in it was what I was looking for to eat on the magnetic mountain in the eye of the wind, and the light was already starting to dim a little, and my vision was blurry and I couldn't see clearly, so I casually chopped a small piece from the pile of glow-in-the-dark stones for a torch, thinking that this thing would look better and clearer. I've been doing this before, and I've never had an accident. But that day I ran into that thing. Yuan Kang stretched out his hand and pointed to the depths of the cave.
"Ever since I picked up the glow-in-the-dark stone, I could hear a strange breathing sound in my ears, and I didn't pay attention to it at the time, thinking it was from the storm outside the eye of the storm. But the further back I went, the stranger it became, and I felt like the sound was coming from behind me. Don't look at how frankly I'm telling you now, I was horrified. ”
"So you attacked it with your strength?" Lan Sheng asked with a smile.
Yuan Kang nodded and asked Lan Sheng: "You did the same?"
Lan Sheng just smiled blindly and didn't answer him.
"So you also saw its strange appearance?" asked Yuan Kang.
Lan Sheng nodded and asked, "What happened after you hit it?"
"Nothing happened!" the voice stopped for a moment, then got up again. Yuan Kang spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.
"Then I hurried out of the eye of the storm, stared at the great lightning and the wind, and went straight back to the temple. I thought to myself, that thing is probably the snake there, and it won't easily get out of its territory. Besides, this Celestial Tree Temple was in the midst of a great red spot, and the violent Tiangang wind would definitely be able to tear that thing apart. ”
"As a result, your abacus has failed!" Lan Sheng leaned against the cave wall and looked at Yuan Kang with a wicked smile.
Yuan Kang frowned, and slammed his fist on the cave wall with a thud.
"That's right! Brother Lan is right. I had just returned to the cave, lying limp on the ground gasping for air. It's where we're resting now. And guess what? The voice came back at me, and I felt like it was face to face, nose to nose. ”
"It actually came back with you? so reluctant to let you go?" Lan Sheng stroked his palm and laughed.
"I went aside, joking and not looking at the time. Yuan Kang paused, and then continued: "At that time, I ran away, no matter how dark it was in this corridor, I ran all the way with the luminous stone. As I was about to run to the temple, I tripped over the steps, fell and gnawed on the mud, and the luminous stone in my hand rolled far away. ”
"Brother Yuan, you're too miserable, aren't you! It's a god-level master, and he was so embarrassed by a demon beast, and no one has attacked you yet. Lan Sheng covered his mouth and smiled.
Yuan Kang glared at him, and then said: "I fell and lay on the ground, how do I know if it will attack me at this time?" At that time, my eyes were closed, thinking that this is the end, and I will die like this in this ghost place where birds don't. But you can't imagine that the terrifying sound disappeared, and I tried to shoot two air knives, but I didn't see any blue light around me. ”
"Gone?" Lan Sheng hurriedly asked.
I thought the same thing, patted the dirt on my body and got up to go back to the temple. But as I was leaving, I heard the slightest breathing, and it was far away from me. So I followed the direction of the sound and found that the guy was staring at the glow-in-the-dark stone I had thrown away. ”
"You've been talking for a long time, what is that glow-in-the-dark stone?" Lan Sheng's face was full of doubts.
"It's a stone that glows in the dark, and it's found on many magnetic mountains, and I've moved a lot of it and put it in the temple so that it can have a light. ”
"You are fooling around, isn't there an everlasting lamp in the temple?" Lan Sheng said disdainfully.
"I don't have your thoughts, how can I light the ever-bright lantern?" said Yuan Kang with a glare.
Lan Sheng shrunk his neck and reached out to make a gesture of please, allowing him to continue.
Yuan Kang glanced at him and continued: "So I concluded that this demon beast actually likes that kind of luminous stone, because I took its luminous stone, so I chased me here, and then the luminous stone fell to the ground, and it couldn't pick up the stone and bring it back, so one stayed there in a daze." ”
"Yes, yes, yes! That guy seems to be made of qi, there is no substance, you can't touch it, you can't hit it. Lan Sheng smiled with his mouth open.
"Don't be happy! Before this was finished, just as I was about to sneak back to the temple while it was in a daze, the luminous stone suddenly disappeared. Then the trouble came, and the beast let out a suffocating scream that made my head explode and my ears deaf. With the last bit of consciousness, I crawled back to the temple. ”
"It's not easy for you to climb back! I was so slumped by it that I was completely paralyzed to the ground. ”
"That is, after all, I am the one who has passed the auspicious cloud tribulation and stepped into the god level!" Yuan Kang said proudly.
"And then, can you still hear that thing screaming after you enter the temple?" Lan Sheng ignored his ostentatious and continued to ask.
"Strange to you, as soon as I returned to the temple, the screams were immediately inaudible, and people were not as uncomfortable as before. ”
"Maybe it's because of the blessing of the Xuanhuang Ancestors here, and the magical powers of those demon beasts have been suppressed here. "This time it's Lan Sheng's turn to be proud.
Yuan Kang waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "You can say whatever you like! Anyway, every time I want to go out, I must take a luminous stone in my hand and throw it into the depths of the cave when I go out." When you go out to forage and return, you must also bring a piece of luminous stone to honor the door god. ”
"So why didn't you give me a glow-in-the-dark stone just now? Just told me not to light it? Isn't this obviously harming me!" Lan Sheng heard this, and he understood a little, he stood up and asked angrily.
"You walked too fast, I didn't even have time to get you the luminous stone, so I could only tell you not to make the light come out, and then I took the stone and chased it out. Yuan Kang was wronged and looked aggrieved.
"How can I walk in such a dark place without light? Even if I don't touch that monster, I'll crash into the cave wall and die." ”
Lan Sheng took out the shining dragon ball from the Qiankun bag, tossed it in his hand and said, "So, I took this thing to follow my walk, but I didn't expect to attract that thing." ”
Yuan Kang couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the dragon ball in his hand, which was bright white and round, and shining with brilliance.
He trembled and said to Lan Sheng: "Did I tell you just now that the luminous stone doesn't last long? I was in a hurry when I came out just now, and I took a stone that had been used for a long time, I'm afraid at this time..."
Lan Sheng and Yuan Kang stared wide-eyed, and the strange sound of heavy breathing sounded familiarly around them again.
