Chapter 52
When I woke up, there was silence all around.
I couldn't find Qi Yan, and I couldn't hear Chen Zhi's voice. I'm not sure if this is an illusion, I can feel that Qi Yan is indeed no longer by my side. Where did he go? Seeing the blood flower I bloomed with the spirit stone, he guessed most of it. And Chen Zhi can deeply feel my power in the spirit stone.
There are some things that can't be hidden after all. I knew there would be such a day, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.
My hand inadvertently touched the ground. There is water. It's actually raining, and such a downpour seems to be releasing the sadness that has accumulated in the hearts of those spirits who died tragically. The rain washed over the land, trying to wash away the endless blood in the air. Faintly, I could see the blood swirling and diffusing in the air, seemingly endlessly.
Strangely enough, my body wasn't a little wet, and something seemed to keep the rain out.
"Eshi."
Qi Yan called me softly.
"The ......"
I didn't dare look him in the eye, I was afraid that everything would be like the way I had seen it before. I don't know how to explain all this to Qi Yan.
"What just happened...... Forget it, don't talk about that, you're okay now, are you? Is there anything you feel uncomfortable with? ”
I raised my head, Qi Yan's gaze was overwhelming, and I said, "I don't know what happened just now. ”
I want to hide this matter, I don't want Qi Yan to know, I'm afraid he will know, I'm afraid he will leave me. I can't let Qi Yan leave me for anything.
"I think maybe it's because the power of your parents is injected into you, and the two extremely strong forces are superimposed, so they will burst out with such a destructive force. Like the power you displayed on the night of adulthood, your power is destruction. But don't be afraid, you can control this power. Qi Yan hugged me gently.
I breathed a sigh of relief, but I couldn't help but wonder why Chen Zhi hadn't spoken and where she had gone. She was in the spirit stone at the time, and she might have guessed that my strength was different. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a chill in my heart.
"Where's Chen Zhi?" I asked pretending to be calm, and there was a childish aura around me.
"She's resting. She was in the spirit stone just now, and she had been hit by a lot of shock, and it took some time to recover. ”
"That'...... What about those spirit beasts? ”
"They're all dead."
My heart sank. Although this result had been expected, when he heard Qi Yan say it with his own ears, he was still a little unacceptable. I even hope that this is just a fantasy, and that after a while I will wake up and find that nothing has happened.
I also realized that my power was an irrevocable command, and once it was given, nothing could stop it unless it was done. No wonder the power of the Children of Darkness is feared and hated by the world.
"In that case, we'll have to find another way to get out of here. But don't worry, you can definitely get out," Qi Yan patted my head and said with a smile, "Don't have such an apocalyptic expression, since spirit beasts can enter and exit the Dead Forest, we will definitely be able to find a way." ”
"That's right! We're going to get out! I raised my head to look at Qi Yan, and at that moment I saw Qi Yan's shoulder disappear, but it quickly returned to its original state. Is it an illusion?
I must have read it wrong.
"Qi Yan?"
"What's wrong?"
"Let's hold a funeral for those spirit beasts, after all, I killed them." Although it wasn't my intention to kill them, it still made me extremely uneasy. I guess I did this just to seek a kind of psychological comfort. It's not so much mourning for the deceased, it's just giving yourself an outlet.
"I see what you mean. But there are no tools here, so let's perform a ritual and mourn for them for a few minutes. Qi Yan put his hand on my shoulder and said slowly.
I nodded.
It's the first time I've been in the Dead Forest for so many days and I've felt so comfortable with the silence here. I stood there silently, watching the silent ripples spread out one after another, but my mind was empty. It's as empty as this dead forest. Maybe if you stay in the dead forest for a long time, even if you barely survive, you will inevitably become as empty as the dead forest.
I also lost control under Chen Zhi's death and killed tens of thousands of people, but I used the power of resurrection to repair it. This was the first time I had actually got blood on my hands. Although the spirit beasts are ferocious, they are far from being able to forcibly count this as a reason to get rid of them. Erasing a life is itself wrong, for whatever reason.
My heart ached. This time may be just the beginning, but will there be more such cases in the future? What exactly do I have to do when I face the enemy and have to take up arms? After escaping from this dead forest, we will encounter many unknown spiritual creatures, and finally we will find the Lord and return Qi Yan to freedom. Struggles are inevitable along the way. Struggle, endless struggle. For a moment, I wanted to hide in this dead forest and never get out.
But there is also Qi Yan, his strength can no longer hold on. This dead forest is completely isolated from the outside world, and Qi Yan's spiritual power is being squeezed out little by little. In the end, it was still inevitable to die. We have to get out of here, no matter what.
I turned my head to look at Qi Yan, who was thinking about something with his eyes closed. The long eyelashes cast a shadow on the face, and the whole face was so serene that it was like a holy angel. This metaphor seems to be a common metaphor used in a bloody romance novel.
I couldn't help but laugh, for him, I can endure anything, I can do anything.
"Qi Yan?"
It was Chen Zhi's voice. My hands instantly froze.
"Chen Zhi, how are you?" I asked before Qi Yan.
Chen Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "It's nothing anymore, maybe I was too tired before." "It was still a soft and weak voice, which gave me a little comfort.
"Do you know what happened before? I don't remember at all. I said.
"How do I know! I was dizzy in the spirit stone, and I didn't know how those spirit beasts were missing! ”
"Then you can get some rest. Now that the spirit beasts are gone, we have to find another way to get out. Qi Yan said.
"How do you get out? Do you guys have an idea? Chen Zhi's voice was a little dejected.
Qi Yan and I glanced at each other and didn't answer.
"How did those spirit beasts get in and out of the Dead Forest?" Chen Zhi half asked us, half said to himself, "Could it be that there is a certain passage here?" ”
"Why can't I get in through the entrance and not find the exit? How did you get in? "I still don't understand why the Dead Forest has only an entrance and no exit.
"There is only one entrance to the Dead Forest. There was a black shadow spirit beast guarding the door at the entrance, although I didn't understand why such a terrible place would place a spirit beast guarding the door, and from time to time a large number of spirit beasts were put in to clean it. Looks like it's hiding something......"
