Chapter 653: A Living Thing
What is that like? I guess all of a sudden I wonder if I'm still stuck in a dream and still haven't woken up.
And what's worse is that this "dream" looks so realistic, for a moment, even Lu Chen himself can't tell whether he is awake or not?
But fortunately, there is still Atu by his side. This black dog, which is a little lazy but always loyal, has never left him, when Lu Chen subconsciously reached out and stroked Ah Tu's back, the familiar warm body temperature from between the skin of his palm made his somewhat throbbing heart quickly calm down.
Lu Chen calmed down, walked over and hugged Atu, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, you're still here." ”
Ah Tu rubbed Lu Chen's hand with his head, and then shouted at the Kunlun Hall not far ahead, his voice was low, as if he was a little vigilant.
Lu Chen looked at the tall and majestic palace, under the red clouds of the Sinking Blood Sea, the light and shadow were intertwined, standing in front of him like a giant. The doors and windows of the main hall are closed, so that people can't see the situation inside, and occasionally there are a few gaps, and it is dark when you look at it.
Lu Chen didn't continue to walk forward, he frowned slightly, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then seemed to have made a decision in his heart, and said to Atu: "Things are a little weird, let's not go over for the time being, let's go to other places first." ”
After saying this, Lu Chen turned around and left, and he didn't look back along the way, even the steps between the walks seemed to have become decisive and firm, as if he had figured it out in his heart, and returned to the firmness and decisiveness he had before.
Ah Tu followed Lu Chen and took a step forward, and suddenly turned his head and glanced at the majestic Kunlun Hall, a pair of blood-red eyes stared at the darkness in the red cloud, and after a while, it suddenly roared, like a demonstration, like a warning, and then turned around and trotted all the way, chasing Lu Chen.
Leaving the Kunlun Palace, Lu Chen walked down the mountain with Ah Tu. On the huge Tianlong Mountain, because the entire sky has been completely covered by a strange sea of blood, the mountains are also shrouded in a dark red light, and it seems that there is blood everywhere, and the shadows are heavy, which is terrifying.
But this is not the first time Lu Chen has seen such a situation, in fact, in his memory, the sea of blood visions that appeared in the sky above the immortal city several times in the past were more powerful and more serious each time, although there was still a little gap in the sky at that time that was not submerged by the sea of blood, but the Tianlong Mountain was basically the same as it is now.
The difference is that the vision at that time did not really affect anything, and there were still many people walking around Tianlong Mountain, at least it seemed to be a normal human being.
But now there are no people, so where have they gone?
When passing by the main hall of the Floating Cloud Division, which was not too far from the Kunlun Palace, Lu Chen glanced over there, and when he passed by, it was the group of elites led by the blood warbler who were stationed here, and made some feats, defeating the Demon Sect, sweeping the opponents, and pushing the faction of Tianlan True Monarch and the name of the Floating Cloud Division to the top.
The door of the main hall also looked empty, and there was no human figure.
Lu Chen didn't get close to that side, just stood in the distance and stared for a while, his face became more solemn and solemn, and then turned to leave.
※※※
The road down the mountain still looked the same as before, there was no change, but it became much more deserted, and the same figure could not be seen, even the usual guards were gone.
The scenery on both sides of the road looks the same as before, except for a layer of dark red light. Along the way, there was only Lu Chen's footsteps on the stone steps of the mountain road, and as he walked, he suddenly frowned, stood up and looked back.
The black dog Ah Tu was following behind him, and when he felt him stop, he also stopped and looked up at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen looked at it, rolled his eyes, and said, "You guy, don't you walk without making a sound now?"
Ah Tu wagged his tail and took two steps forward, and sure enough, he stepped on the stone steps of the mountain road, and there was no sound at all. If you don't see this dog standing here with your own eyes, I'm afraid that I really can't notice it, and it feels like a ...... A lurking and ferocious beast.
Lu Chen snorted, shook his head and was about to take a step to continue walking, when he suddenly realized that his body stopped again, but he glanced at somewhere in the woods next to him.
After a while, he suddenly strode over there, Ah Tu was a little puzzled, looking at Lu Chen's back, not understanding what he was going to do?
The moment Lu Chen walked into the woods, the light and shadow around him seemed to dim a little, as if the only light was also blocked by his figure. The woods are quiet, full of branches and weeds.
Lu Chen looked around, but he didn't make any movements, it seemed that the whole person was standing there like a stone, and even the sound of breathing was silent.
I don't know how long it took, but the quiet woods slowly changed a little, like something that had been frightened and suppressed before, and began to unfold again. A small, small sound, a low "whining" somewhere in the grass, would be hard to hear unless you leaned closer, if it weren't in this quiet place.
Lu Chen's eyes lit up, his gaze swept over the grass where the sound came from, and then walked over.
The voice disappeared suddenly, but Lu Chen had already reached into the grass, rummaged through it a few times, and after a while, his hand was withdrawn from the grass, and in his palm, there was already a small bird.
It was a tiny, tiny bird, less than half the size of a palm, and it didn't even have all the feathers on its body. Its eyes were closed, curled up in Lu Chen's palm, and its whole body trembled slightly, but it could still feel a little warmth inherent in life from its weak body, which could be broken almost at any time.
Lu Chen looked at this small and fragile bird, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, he stood up, held the bird, turned around and walked out of the woods.
Ah Tu squatted on another mountain road, looking a little bored, but after seeing Lu Chen coming, especially when he saw that he had an extra bird in his hand, Ah Tu suddenly became excited, "Wang" screamed, jumped up and opened his mouth to bite.
There was a "snap", but it was Lu Chen who slapped the black dog's head to the side, and shouted: "It's not for you to eat!"
Ah Tu was a little frustrated, and roared twice in disbelief, staring at the bird, which trembled violently all over, as if it was about to die of fright.
Lu Chen's eyes were calm, staring at the bird in his hand, and after a while, he said to Ah Tu: "Let's go, this bird is the first living thing we see, at least ......"
He smiled, looked into the distance, walked forward, and said lightly, "At least it proves that the two of us are not the only ones alive in this world." Let's go, let's go to those who are alive. ”
