Chapter 2: The Twilight Blood Ceremony

The boy woke up in a daze, and the severe pain made his whole body numb, as if all the bones were displaced, and only the palm of his right hand was soft, as if he was holding a piece of warm jade.

The girl fell beside him, the white skirt was stained with dust, the shoulder-length black hair was a little messy, the girl was born beautiful, the appearance was sweet, the water was delicate, the skin was better than the snow, crystal smooth, and she was also a fairy in the dust, flawless.

Yu Cong woke her up, the woman's long eyebrows trembled slightly, and a trace of pain appeared on her white and flawless jade face, she slowly opened her eyes, and her face was rendered with pink.

The boy carefully lifted her up, trying not to touch her sore spots.

"Are you alright?"

"The injury is a bit serious, it's not that easy to get better. ”

Her voice is crisp and beautiful, like nine days of falling Yingluo colliding with each other, and like a spirit warbler out of the valley in early spring.

It's a strange world!

The majestic and magnificent earth, the huge mountains are like a giant dragon winding and undulating, the mountains are like giants standing, the towering ancient trees, the thick purple roots and the ancient vines are intertwined, like a dead knot intertwined with each other, on the cliffs, between the quiet and deep streams, the silver stream is like a practice, nine bends and eighteen bends, flowing into the distance.

In the twilight, the ancient forest was barren and primitive, and smoke rose from the depths, and strange shadows shook and screamed in the smoke, and they fell down a small hillside.

"Where is this?"

The central sky had gradually darkened, and I saw the stars twinkling, and there was a fiery red and thick glow in the sky, layer after layer, dyeing the world a strange blood red.

The girl frowned.

"What the hell is going on, and who is chasing you?"

The girl looked away, and she didn't understand who the black shadow was, where did it come from, but she was sure that if they were too late, their lives would be taken by the black shadow.

"Why did this ring of yours bring us here?"

The girl only saw the ring fly from the sky inexplicably, breaking through the darkness of despair, and then saving them from the bloody claws of the black shadow.

"That shadow shouldn't have been chasing after it again. "When the Void was twisted, the dark shadow was swept up with them, but it was clearly not falling here like them.

"We ...... Have you seen it?" asked the young man weakly, and for some reason the girl in front of him made him familiar, as if some kind of person he had lost in his childhood had returned, making him want to get close.

The girl was stunned, and then smiled, the strange blood-red glow in this space became a foil for her smile, she seemed to be a fairy who fell red dust, so beautiful that it was spotless.

The boy was a little distracted, and the dusty memory was slowly pried open.

"I'd like to ask too. The depths of the girl's star eyes showed a different kind of tenderness, the boy didn't dare to look at her, the girl puffed out her mouth, there was no loveliness.

"My name is Meng Kexuan, Meng Kexuan's Xuan. The girl stretched out her white hand, with a sweet smile on her face, she was born beautiful, and she captivated the country and the city.

"Yu Cong. The boy smiled in response.

The mysterious forest, the coming night is like a mysterious call, breaking the silence, there is a terrible sound roaring, making the whole forest vibrate, a group of black and suppressed strange birds flew up in shock, making a strange sound of "quack".

In the depths of darkness, a huge shadow hovered, and only two curved horns could be seen, as tall as a mountain, supporting the sky, and with every step it took, the earth shook, and the ancient forests collapsed, and the mountains and rivers overturned, and all souls were terrified.

"Moo!"

The huge shadow in the darkness was deep in its claws, catching a huge strange bird in the sky, that strange bird had four wings, and its claws were grasping the corpse of a fierce beast, the big bird struggled, and let out a piercing and ugly cry from its long sword beak, and the four blue and red wings continued to flap.

The black shadow tore the strange bird in half, and the blood waterfall that fell from the sky melted into the darkness, and the black shadow dragged its prey into the darkness step by step, and the picture became more and more strange.

The boys and girls who fell into the strange world opened their eyes wide, fixed on this terrifying scene, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly there was movement in the dense woods, and swift shadows were shuttling and making noises.

Hongxia illuminates the surrounding atmosphere extremely strangely, making men and women extremely vigilant.

"Roar—roar—!"

Suddenly, there was a dull roar, and a pair of blood-colored eyes suddenly lit up in the depths of the bushes in front of them, followed by more vertical eyes, turning into blood-colored beads beating in the darkness.

A low roar came leisurely, filling the entire space.

That's a predator's signal!

With a roar, a creature jumped out, its sturdy body, dark black hair, blood-red eyes, two long saber fangs on either side of the bloody mouth, and four steel hook claws glowing with bloody cold light under the dim blood shadow.

The fierce beast drew a perfect arc of death in the air, and the red light in its vertical eyes and the tail of a meteor pounced on Yu Cong and the two with precision.

The dark green spiritual power ignited from Meng Kexuan's body again, condensed in his right hand and turned into a sharp blade, cutting the throat of this fierce beast that rushed towards them, this fierce beast as a pioneer let out a scream, fell to the ground and rolled weakly, obviously incapacitated.

But the blade in the girl's hand also shattered, turning into a little bit of aura.

Yu Cong was shocked, he didn't expect this girl to be so ruthless, but when he saw a fierce beast around him that only became violent because his companion was knocked down, he had no sympathy, and in the face of nature's law of survival, either you die or I die.

Meng Kexuan covered her chest, the corners of her mouth were bleeding, and Yu Cong supported her who was about to fall, "You can't use that kind of power anymore, you are seriously injured." ”

Meng Kexuan shook her head, "We're all going to be their meal." ”

The boy picked up a sturdy branch and stared at the front.

One by one, the beasts snorted in the darkness, and in the next moment they stretched out their claws, opened their bloody mouths, and jumped out in unison.

Yu Cong and Meng Kexuan were back to back, one waving a branch, and the other forcibly resisting the volatilization of spiritual power and turning it into a blade.

The boy opened his throat and snorted, using all his strength, holding the branch and fighting the dark beasts one by one.

There were a lot of them, and in the bloody struggle, the two of them were separated, Meng Kexuan turned his hand into a sharp blade, and the knife saw blood, and the young man beat him hard, and his hands were peeling and bleeding because he caught them too hard.

A claw scratched the boy's back, and blood immediately flowed from the shocking scratch, which was not deep or fatal, but the sensation was extremely violent.

Yu Cong endured the hot pain from his back, lifted the branch and slammed it down on the beast's head, and under the violent vibration, the beast's eyes bulged out, and blood flowed from its vicious mouth full of sharp teeth, and it fell to the ground.

Another black shadow struck from behind him, Meng Kexuan slashed down, but almost fainted due to the exhaustion of spiritual power, the young man supported her, and blood droplets fell into the dust, and he didn't know if it was a boy or a girl, or not the two of them.

The girl looked away strongly, her delicate face was firm, her breasts fell together, and she breathed heavily.

A fire burned in the boy's eyes, and he only felt that his chest was stuffy, as if it was about to burn.

The two of them climbed towards the hillside, and the beasts chased after him, biting the young man's trouser legs, and the young man kicked his feet violently, kicking them away with difficulty, and more fierce beasts pounced.

These creatures walk in groups, not because they are strong, but in the iron rules of this forest, on the contrary, it is the weak creatures who need companions!

The girl held the boy's hand tightly on the slope, not letting up at all.

Whew—

At this moment, a violent roar suddenly sounded in the distance, and the entire ancient forest trembled, it was those powerful beings in the darkness who were releasing their majesty, warning the surrounding creatures, these black beasts all stopped hunting, and slowly retreated with fear in their eyes.

A bloody light descended on the depths of the mysterious forest, and the whole area shook, and everywhere there were tiger roars, ghosts crying wolves, and loud rumbling noises, like the sound of a mountain falling.

At this time, the sky was even darker, and the blood glow on the horizon was almost gone, but there were blood rays of light breaking through the sky, strangely appearing in the depths, illuminating everything in the forest in an eerie blood-red color.

In the area deep in the blood light, layers of green and gloomy light rose, like a netherworld curtain falling, mixed with the blood, emitting a terrifying aura, eerie and terrifying.

The black beasts kept roaring, revealing obvious fear, and suddenly turned their heads, and ran towards the depths of the forest in groups, disappearing into the darkness in an instant.

The girl fell weakly, and Yu Cong climbed up the hill to support her.

The flame in the young man's eyes was extinguished, his black pupils were restored, and he hugged the waist of the girl, at this moment she had large and small wounds on her body, and the red colors on the white dress were incompatible with her clean.

The girl was dying, her spiritual power was overused, and if those fierce beasts didn't leave, she wouldn't be able to last long, and now she could barely maintain consciousness.

"How's it going for you. ”

"It's not very good. Her eyes opened a slit, and she looked at the bloodstained face, and let out a weak voice.

"I'm carrying you on my back, and we're out of here. The boy crouched down and put the girl behind him.

The girl's slightly open eyes could vaguely see the claw marks on his back, and her heart was inexplicably tight, and the boy had already carried her on her back.

The girl put her arms around his neck and rested her fair face against the back of his neck.

Yu Cong grabbed her slender and round calves, she was very light and had no effort to carry it.

"We're leaving. Yu Cong turned his head slightly, and Meng Kexuan replied in a faint voice.

Yu Cong carried the girl on his back and walked in the opposite direction, and those fierce beasts ran in the direction of the blood light, which was deep in the forest, and no matter how you looked at it, it was a place of great evil.

The bushes were so dense that there was hardly a way to walk but to cross them, and from the branches came a strange whining cry that the boy had never heard before, and he did not know what kind of animal made it.

The boy's footsteps were getting heavier and heavier, and he had been fighting with those fierce beasts, and he had long been exhausted and injured, but not as heavy as the girl.

Fortunately, there were no dangerous beasts, and they should have been attracted to the depths of the forest.

"If it's just you, you should be able to go out......" I don't know how long I walked, the boy's pace gradually slowed down, and the girl said weakly in the back.

"If it were just me, I would have been eaten by the beast a long time ago. The boy could feel the girl smiling, it must be beautiful, he didn't look back, he was busy clearing the branches in front of him with his other hand.

"Being eaten is also being eaten together...... the boy didn't know if he said this, the voice was so weak that he couldn't hear it in the back.

He stopped, "Are you still there......?"

"Xuan'er?"

The boy's voice grew quieter and quieter, muffled by strange cries from the mysterious forest.

"Xuan'er! Xuan'er...... Bear with it a little longer......" He panicked inexplicably, and out of nowhere, he quickened his pace, and the dead wood and branches cut through his pants and scratched his skin.

There was a faint light in front of him that was about to go out, but in the eyes of the young man, it was extremely shining, and he was very happy to see the corner of the old thatched house, "Xuan'er, bear with it a little longer, we will be there soon...... Bear with me a little longer......"

I don't know if I'm talking to myself.

The corners of the girl's mouth rose slightly, and her hands were hugged tighter, as if she had a sweet dream.

The boy's feet were heavy on the small blue stone path, and at last he fell weakly, and the girl lay on top of him, and the moment before the boy closed his eyes, he saw a pair of steady feet walking towards them.
