Chapter 22: Swearing the Demon Boy
The old woman clenched her hands and beat herself at this time, and her heart was full of hatred! After a while, she continued, "Since that day, the old man has also had a guess in his body and mind, thinking that the son of a scumbag must have been unable to find medicine for me. But in order to obtain the elixir to save the life of the old man, he was driven by the coercion of the monster, and he was a disaster here!"
Wiping the tears from the wrinkled corners of her eyes, the old woman continued, "The evening before yesterday, the old man quietly followed behind the son of evil again, and saw him call out with a strange voice when he arrived at the edge of the river. The monster said in his mouth, ninety-nine human souls, and now there are still five souls left, as long as you gather enough people to help me achieve cultivation, this king will release the shackles for you and let your mother and son leave. ”
After speaking, the old woman's emotions calmed down a little, and she took a long breath and looked at Xiang Yun and the others, "All this is because of the old body, and now it is finally over! Originally, there were two ways to pass through the abyss at this crossing. One is to take the waterway and take a boat down the river along the river, but now the monster and demon power have risen greatly, although it could not leave the water in the past, but it is not suitable to take risks! The other way is to gently the cliff from the front, and there is a suspension bridge that can cross the abyss at the mouth of the abyss, but the wooden bridge must have been destroyed by the son. Now the safest choice is to go down to the bottom of the abyss and be more careful to cross the abyss, you can't stay for a long time when you encounter anything, remember to wait until noon when the yang qi is the strongest before going down to the abyss!"
After the explanation, I saw the old woman slowly get up and walk to the hut where she lived before. "Mother-in-law, come with us!" Qin Shuyue hurriedly shouted.
The old woman did not answer, and walked slowly on crutches. Xiang Yun took Qin Shuyue's somewhat cold hand and said softly, "Forget it, she won't leave here!"
At night, Xiang Yun is on guard at any time to prevent monsters from sneaking up. I wanted to get rid of this monster for the people, but I also thought that once I got into the water, I couldn't say that it would be my life.
Thinking carefully about what the old woman said, he finally knew that the inscription on the stone tablet 'If you don't cross the river, you won't cross the river, and the night will not cross the abyss.' The meaning of this sentence is revealed. The so-called two options are actually the same danger. And no matter how you choose, you must take advantage of noon, the time when the qi of Tianyang is at its peak, and it is the best time to cross the abyss. After much hesitation, he decided to stay until noon tomorrow and then avoid the deep river.
The next day, the sky was bright, and the mouth of the crossing was silent and lifeless, and Xiang Yun and Qin Shuyue took a circle around. But I found that the old woman in front of the stele had already died on her knees, and the grass around the stele had been uprooted. If someone passes by, you can see the content of the inscription at a glance, only to see a few more blood characters on the tablet, the demon is a disaster, do not cross the abyss!
At noon, Xiang Yun and the others found a stepped stone wall and slowly descended according to what the old woman said, and went down almost a hundred zhang high, only to see the ends of two ropes hanging on the stone wall.
On the opposite side, you can see a rope suspension bridge, hanging on the stone wall, thinking that this must be the cross-abyss suspension bridge that has been destroyed by Kong Jigang. The two had to continue to descend, down to the bottom of the abyss, only to see purple mist everywhere, which slightly blocked people's vision.
There was a faint sinister aura in the purple smoke, and needless to say, I am afraid that this is not a good place either. However, the two did not know,
Earlier, there was a monster beast with a human face and octopus tentacles, and not far in front of it, a man wearing battle armor and three sharp horns had a confrontation and negotiation. These two creatures are obviously not ordinary lifeforms, but I don't know what kind of agreement the two demonic creatures reached in the end. The first-born horned man then disappeared into the depths of the purple mist.
Xiang Yun frowned and said in a deep voice to Qin Shuyue behind him, "Follow me, don't get lost?" As he spoke, he took out a long sword from the bracelet space and handed it to Qin Shuyue, who himself held the dagger and leaned forward.
On the ground at the bottom of the abyss, bursts of black smoke rose from time to time, turning into some extremely hideous faces in the air, and they were still crying or laughing at the two of them. There were even some phantom seven orifices flowing black blood, grinning at the two of them. But it only takes shape in mid-air and then dissolves into nothingness.
The two of them pinched their palms and sweated, and this place was boiling with resentment, and then they looked at the piles of dry bones on the ground, and a sense of uneasiness arose in their hearts! Xiang Yun tried to sense the Quartet, and at the moment he was even more frightened at the bottom of this abyss, and the rising demonic flames interfered with his thoughts! Not long after they advanced, the two of them immediately stopped.
"Click...... Suddenly, a piercing and eerie laugh came into their ears, and the two immediately clenched their weapons and waited.......
"You're finally here", I saw a mountain of meat gradually revealed. The voice came from Roshan's human-faced, one-eyed monster on its forehead, and the mouth of the sharp-toothed monster.
Xiang Yun took a step back to protect Qin Shuyue and shouted, "It turns out that you are that monster!"
"How can you easily forgive you for breaking this king's great affairs! Although this king has not been able to leave the water for too long, he is still safe in this abyss, but ...... Even if this king doesn't come here today, you won't be able to escape the hands of the purple armor demon boy, click, click, click......"
Xiang Yun's heart was cold, he never expected that this eight-clawed demon beast would actually squat here and wait for the two of them to arrive! In the face of such an evil demon, it would be difficult to deal with. He secretly and hurriedly used his spiritual power while opening his mouth to entangle and delay with the eight-clawed demon beast.
"I said, you monster has entered the abyss this time, I'm afraid you have other plans! If I expected it to be true, there must be something in this abyss that makes you covet, right? But after all, this is someone else's territory, I'm afraid you're going to miscalculate!" Xiang Yun suddenly shouted loudly with a turn of thought.
As soon as these words came out, the purple-armored man sitting on the pile of dry bones in the distance had a swaying demonic flame on his body, and his red pupils contracted suddenly. My heart was filled with anger. The figure immediately turned into a cloud of purple-black smoke and flew towards Xiang Yun in a hurry.
"Hello Old Demon of the Moon! You really want to plot this monarch's treasure!" In the blink of an eye, the demonic qi coalesced and turned into a man with three horns on his head, who was wearing a purple armor.
It only seems that the demonic flames around the person are flying, and Xiang Yun knows that this person is not a human being, and he seems to be an evil demon.
"Demon boy, don't you want to be instigated by this human being? This human being is very cunning, don't be gullible! This king made it clear to you earlier, just to capture these two human beings, he immediately retreated. The eight-clawed demon hurriedly defended.
"I don't believe you, you get out of your water quickly, or you tear off your greedy stinky tentacles. The demon boy shouted coldly at Roshan.
Youyue was furious at the moment, waving her thick tentacles and rolling towards the demon boy, shouting angrily, "Demon boy, you fool! For many years, you have still been so unreasonable...... That being the case, this king will kill you bastard today!"
The demon boy saw that a tentacle of Youyue was flying towards him, and he was not ambiguous at the moment, holding an eight-foot long-handled broadsword and waving it to meet him.
The two demons immediately fought together, only to see a round, the tentacles were cut off by the big knife and flew down, but they grew rapidly in an instant.
The Demon Boy danced with a great sword, and occasionally being hit by tentacles would only make the armor roar, and the power of the volley was easily removed.
Youyue saw that she had suffered a dark loss, and she was even more furious. The figure suddenly swelled and bulged, and the dense suction cups on the tentacles spewed out a thick green liquid for a while.
The venom dripped onto the bones on the ground, instantly dissolving and vaporizing the bones. It can be seen that this green liquid has strong corrosive toxicity.
This venom actually made the demon boy very afraid, he didn't dare to be careless, and the next moment the demon flames all over his body suddenly rose, turning into a variety of demon figures to resist, and many demon figures were shot by the green liquid, and they were also melted and corroded one after another. A demon and a demon fought for a while, and they didn't leave each other's hands.
Seeing this opportunity, Xiang Yun and the others were unwilling to miss it, so they immediately took Qin Shuyue's hand and quickly escaped around the battlefield. After a short time, the two finally reached the other side of the abyss, and the two hurriedly climbed up the broken bridge rope that fell from the stone wall.
Through the battle between the two demons just now, it is completely certain that with Xiang Yun's current cultivation, even if he faced any of them alone, he would definitely die.
Climbing up the stone wall for a while, just out of the area shrouded in purple mist, I saw the purple mist churning below. Suddenly, I saw the demon of the dark moon leap out, climbed over the embankment of the thorny river and fell into the water, thinking that he must have been defeated and fled.
"Whoa......! The little human wants to leave when he sees Benjun's true body?" A shout came from the purple mist below at the same time.
Xiang Yun was in a hurry, and hugged Qin Shuyue's legs with one hand and lifted them up suddenly, letting her climb the stone platform first, and then he grabbed the rope and jumped up with his strength, and finally climbed onto the suspension bridge platform.
Seeing that the two of them were finally out of danger temporarily, but at this moment, a blood-colored demon dog jumped out of the purple mist in an instant, and quickly rushed towards Xiang Yun's back, Xiang Yun was slightly sensed at the moment, but was pushed away by Qin Shuyue at a critical moment. The demon dog crashed into Qin Shuyue's body, knocking Qin Shuyue into a moment and freezing in place, followed the demon dog into purple and black demonic energy, and disappeared into Qin Shuyue's body, it turned out that this was just a demon dog phantom, but Qin Shuyue instantly spat blood from her mouth, and her body fell down softly. Xiang Yun's heart shook violently, and he immediately turned around to catch Qin Shuyue, who had fallen forward.
Picking up Qin Shuyue, who had a weak breath, Xiang Yun's heart suddenly became cold, and he looked at Qin Shuyue and closed his eyes slightly. His whole body rushed up, his heart was in a hurry, and he turned to the abyss and roared wildly, "Ah...... Demon boy, I, Xiang Yun, swear here, I will kill your soul and never reincarnate!!!"
However, Xiang Yun was only responded to with a sneer that echoed in the abyss, "Ignorant child, ridiculous, ridiculous...... Okay! I'm waiting for you...... Haha, haha......!"
Xiang Yun gritted his teeth and picked up the weak Qin Shuyue and ran forward, he was eager in his heart, and he fantasized countless times, longing to meet a divine doctor immortal soon, and he must save the girl in his arms!
