Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Pool of Blood
Bai Tong and Gong Yuanyu lay on the ground speechlessly, not too dirty, to be dark or not dark sky, in a trance, you can still see the shadow in the distance, the stars have not had time to come out, the light moonlight does not know why there is a thin layer of clouds, and the white pupils who look at it are cold,
"Hey, do you smell a smell......"
"No ......"
Bai Tong sniffed vigorously, "It still seems to have a smell, but it's so faint." ”
"......" Gong Yuanyu was speechless.
"Did I smell it wrong...... Gong Yuanyu didn't smell such a good nose, Bai Tong skeptical to himself, and no longer bothered about this problem, after all, there is a demonic Qi Gong Yuanyu will definitely be the first to find out, where is it his turn to guess blindly.
"I'm so thirsty and want to drink water."
Gong Yuanyu didn't say a word and untied the wine jug and handed it over, and then he heard a pop in his hand,
"What a drink!"
"yes, the rice wine you drank last time." After Gong Yuanyu finished speaking, the wine jug had been handed to his mouth, and the people next to him looked at him without speaking, and Gong Yuanyu had to take a sip under pressure.
Puff - "Ahem, ahem, the owner of the store bought the wrong one, he thought it was the kind of wine I usually drink...... "It's actually a more strong rice wine, although it's delicious, but it's a bit ...... to quench your thirst Forehead...... "Okay, let's go to the creek in front and drink......"
Bai Tong got up with difficulty, and walked towards the stream not far away speechlessly, but the smell seemed to be stronger than just now, Bai Tong rubbed his nose, and his suspicion was really getting stricter, so thirsty......
In the night, you can only see the clear waves of the water, reflecting the color of the night sky, like a dark mirror, Bai Tong started to take a sip of water, cough cough cough - poof, poof- this water, it tastes so weird, why is it far away from the city, and the water is also polluted?!
Bai Tong spit out two mouthfuls in his mouth, squatted and shook his hand, and was about to get up to admit that he was unlucky, when he suddenly caught a glimpse that the color of his hand was not quite right, as if it had become darker, and his intuition made Bai Tong uneasy to put his hand in front of him, and looked at it carefully, and his heartbeat stopped,
"Yuan Yu! Come here! ”
Gong Yuanyu thought that something had happened to Bai Tong, and in a blink of an eye, he half-knelt on the ground in front of Bai Tong and looked vigilant, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
Bai Tong trembled and stretched out his hand in front of Gong Yuanyu, and while he could see it a little clearly, his tone became a little uncomfortable, "There is actually blood ...... in this water."
Gong Yuanyu grabbed Bai Tong's hand, his eyes were sharp, and he looked at Bai Tong's hand carefully, but it was not stained with red, although it was not as thick as usual, through the dilution of the stream, he could still distinguish the light red droplets and the blood stains contained in the slightly revealed bloody smell!
No wonder Bai Tong said that it had a taste just now, but he didn't find it, he was too careless!
Gong Yuanyu put down Bai Tong's hand, leaned over to the water, sniffed a few times, frowned and observed the water surface through the faint night, and finally put his hand in and dialed it a few times, got up and said solemnly, "It is from Jiusi City, it seems that we are going back!" ”
"Nine Thoughts City? How could it be...... When we leave in the morning, it's still fine......" Bai Tong suddenly felt a little worried, and an indescribable intuition and worry came up at the same time.
"Don't be afraid, maybe, it's not the same as we guessed......" Gong Yuanyu tried his best to comfort Bai Tong, but Bai Tong knew that this possibility was very small, because even Gong Yuanyu almost recognized his suspicions.
"Hold on to me, we're going to fly back overnight." Gong Yuanyu instructed the white pupils behind him to prepare to leave.
"Well, let's go, I'm fine!"
Gong Yuanyu quickly cast a spell, taking advantage of the night, along the direction he came, and flew towards Jiusi City, but this time, Gong Yuanyu did not take the main road when he came, but a path with a stream, and the sky was too dark to see the color of the stream, but both of them could clearly smell it, and the smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger, floating out of Jiusi City along the stream.
The two of them were dignified all the way, they didn't speak but their hearts were heavy, they had already thought of various possibilities in their minds, the only thing that could be sure was that something big must have happened in the city, but what happened, there would be so much blood, wasn't it a sacrifice in the morning, something happened during the sacrifice, or, someone killed and slaughtered the city......
Even if she didn't speak, Bai Tong could clearly feel the deeper and deeper air pressure and strictness on Gong Yuanyu's body, she wanted to ask if Gong Yuanyu had noticed anything, hesitated, but didn't speak, among all her guesses, the only thing she didn't know was that Gong Yuanyu had even smelled more and more demonic aura in addition to the smell of blood.
"Hold on!"
Bai Tong grabbed the clothes in his hand again, and then with a shake, Gong Yuanyu increased his speed again, and swooped down towards Jiusi City not far away, so strong that the smell of blood made Bai Tong's heart tremble......
In the middle of the night, the city gate should be closed, but at this moment, it is wide open in the dark night, faint like a black hole, waiting for the people to walk in being sucked in, the oncoming blood and demonic energy, so that Gong Yuanyu's face is solemn, his brows are tightly locked, and he protects the white pupils behind him, and he says be careful, and he is about to step in.
Suddenly, a black shadow under his feet rushed out of the city gate and fell outside the door, saying that it was crawling, but it was more like squirming, and a faint voice came out of the black shadow, Bai Tong and Gong Yuanyu glanced at each other, and quickly squatted in front of the black shadow to check the situation of the other party.
It was a wounded city-resident, covered in blood by the moonlight, his face was covered with paste, and the wounds on his hands that had been bloody were horrifying, struggling to lift up, not knowing where to point, foaming blood in his mouth, seeing that the horror in Gong Yuanyu's eyes had not faded, and he muttered in his mouth that he didn't know what to say.
Bai Tong didn't hear clearly, and looked at the miserable situation of the person in front of him worriedly, Gong Yuanyu frowned, his ear came to the man's mouth, and the injured bloody man tried to mumble again, Bai Tong just sighed, and the man's head tilted and fell directly to the ground.
"Hey, hey! He ......"
"It's dead." Gong Yuanyu in the night couldn't see his expression clearly, and opened his mouth to answer.
Bai Tong was stunned, he didn't expect the situation in the city to be stricter than he imagined, and he didn't know what kind of situation he would face when he entered it in a while.
"Then what did he just say?"
"In the city, there are monsters." Gong Yuanyu was silent for a moment before answering.
"There is ......" Bai Tong was speechless, which was not a valuable clue, but it was enough to prove how miserable he had experienced.
Bai Tong followed Gong Yuanyu to stand up, Gong Yuanyu's face was expressionless and solemn, reflecting the moonlight, half deep, half shallow, deepening the lines of the face, with a sense of coldness and fortitude, strictness and danger.
"Come into town in a moment, follow me, be careful."
"Got it......" Bai Tong nodded, thinking that Gong Yuanyu couldn't see it, he quickly replied.
