Chapter 5: The Tide of the Silent Sun
A few days later, deep in the Shankrov Mountainsโ
A full moon hung in the sky, not as hazy as usual, nor as bright as usual. A touch of crimson slowly spreads in the breeze, and then completely covers it, and the air has a more restless atmosphere.
"Boom!"
There was an earthquake in the Silent Forest, and there was a loud bang, like a behemoth crushing the ground. The trees shook and the birds scattered.
A dense mass of black dots from far to near, when it enters the line of sight, at a glance, it makes people's scalp tingle.
The army of demon beasts composed of thousands of monster beasts ran wildly in the forest, chasing a group of people. The deafening roar was accompanied by constant screams and roars, and the trees in its path were devastated and instantly turned into a flat land, and it was a mess.
A young man at the head was dressed in disheveled clothes, and a woman in his arms was running desperately, sweat dripping from his nose. The delicate face of the woman in her arms was pale, and blood was constantly spilling from the corners of her lips.
"Ling'er, hold on!"
Junxiu's side face was full of solemnity, and his eyes were full of anxiety.
The woman shook her butterfly-like eyelashes and struggled to open her eyes.
"I'm sorry, brother, Ling'er has bothered you......" Before the words were finished, another mouthful of blood spurted out and he fell unconscious.
The young man's eyes tightened, and he trembled and wiped the bright red with his sleeves. "Don't talk, Ling'er, hold on, we'll be able to get out. โ
With his arms tightened, he hugged the body in his arms tightly, looked at the guards behind him and shouted, "Everyone hurry up and keep up!"
At this time, there was an exclamation from beside him, "Young Master, be careful ahead!"
A green light flickered in the dark forest, followed by a howl, and a pack of wild wolves crawled out of the darkness, opening their bloody mouths, their green eyes staring gloomily at the group of people in front of them, as greedy as if they were seeing food.
It can be said that there are wolves in front and tigers in the back.
The young man's feet stopped, and he was able to stabilize his figure. What I never expected was that the change was in an instant. A wild wolf howled wildly, and swooped in the direction of the two men. The speed of the wild wolf was too fast, and the moment it fell, it was too late to dodge. The man hurriedly turned to protect his sister in his arms, and as the crowd screamed in horror, the young man and his sister were torn and thrown off by the wolf, and crashed into a tree with a thud.
"Poof!" the man spewed out a mist of blood, the massive impact and the heart-rending pain in his back that made him almost faint.
At this time, two more wild wolves pounced on the two of them, not giving everyone a chance to breathe.
Not far away, the guards and family members were entangled by a group of demon beasts, and they were all frightened when they saw this scene during the fight. One of the middle-aged men with gray hair had even more constricted eyes and roared, "Young master, miss!"
The man stared at the wild wolf tightly, trying his best, his palm gathered a mysterious force, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. Seeing that the two wild wolves were only a stone's throw away, the man was about to give it a go, when a white shadow suddenly flashed in the air. Everyone only felt a flash of white light in front of them, and after two miserable howls, there was the sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground.
Everyone froze in place.
As the dust cleared, the two wolves fell silent on the ground, and a stream of scarlet spread from beneath them, gradually dyeing their fur red. And next to the corpses of the two wild wolves, a white figure strolling out attracted everyone's attention.
What catches your eye is a corner of a pure white skirt, swaying in a petal-like arc as you walk, and then up, a simple belt of the same color is tied around the waist, outlining the graceful figure. A green hair hung down like a waterfall, and the white headband gently pulled it away, leaving the rest behind him and fluttering in the wind. Under a few strands of light hair, a veil covers his face, leaving a pair of narrow eyes, charming and cold, holding a long sword in his right hand, with a bit of elegance in his agility, and a bit of dust in his arrogance.
The woman walked up to the man and crouched down.
"Your injuries are very serious, take the pill first. The man looked and saw two crystal circles lying quietly in his white palms, and he could vaguely smell a bitter medicinal fragrance.
The man was stunned for a moment, but he also reacted quickly, carefully took the pill, and said gratefully: "Thank you girl for saving me, in the next Mu Qingye!"
Standing up, the woman hooked her lips and said, "It's okay, it's too early to say thank you." โ
This person is Lou Xinyue.
Lou Xinyue, who was originally cultivating in the cave, was alarmed by the huge movement of the Silent Sun Forest, so she decided to come out to investigate, and happened to see the scene of the group of people in front of her being chased and killed by demon beasts, and the man protecting his sister. Not to mention anything else, for the sake of the family relationship between the man and his sister, Lou Xinyue did not hesitate to make a move.
At the moment of life and death, this relationship is even more valuable.
A scream suddenly came from not far away, Lou Xinyue followed the sound and looked, only to see that in the chaos, a guard was thrown to the ground by a strange-looking monster beast and bit his arm. With a flash of cold light in his eyes, he flew into the group of beasts, and his fingertips shot out a ray of light, and the demon beast flew away, freeing the guards from the clutches of the demon beast. Immediately after that, the long sword swung, and a sword pierced its throat, drawing the long sword, and the demon beast fell into the dust with a thud. A bloodthirsty smile appeared on her lips, Lou Xinyue raised her sword and fell, and slashed several demon beasts around her in succession, and the encirclement formed by the demon beasts was instantly broken.
His eyes swept to the blood-stained guards and family members behind him, and said, "Go and protect your young master and young lady." โ
"What about you, girl?" the gray-haired middle-aged man asked worriedly.
"Your young master needs you more, and I don't need to worry about it. โ
The words fell, and the sword flashed into the center of the herd again.
"Girl, be careful...... Before the man finished speaking, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Everyone followed his gaze, their eyes widened, and the crowd gasped one after another.
"Oh my God, this ......"
In the vast herd of beasts, a white figure moved quickly like a ghost, and everywhere it went, a large number of demon beasts fell, and the corpses of large and small demon beasts were spread all around.
I don't know who swallowed a mouthful of saliva among the people, and said tremblingly: "Why does this demon beast feel like a persimmon." โ
Here, Lou Xinyue is having fun. Although the scale of the Silent Sun Beast Tide this time is large, the demon beasts are low-level demon beasts, and the focus is on being difficult. When there are many sources of attack, it is the most challenging for people's sensitivity and speed. This kind of hand-to-hand combat is a rare method of refining the body. And Lou Xinyue just needs to refine her body now.
In the past few days, Lou Xinyue's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and Xuanli has advanced frantically, resulting in an unstable foundation. Every stage of cultivation needs to be fought steadily, and the advancement of single-mindedness is just an attic in the air. In comparison with the same level, it is like a paper tiger, which will fall down as soon as it is blown. Moreover, a good foundation and opportunities are indispensable factors in advancement.
Lou Xinyue is worried that there is no opportunity to stabilize her strength, and now there is exactly one.
Everyone saw that Lou Xinyue didn't need help, so they reminded them in the air, "Girl, be careful." After reminding him, he went to the young man's side and fought with the wolf.
Lou Xinyue's eyes flashed with purple light, raised his hand to hold a sword flower, injected mysterious power, hit the center of the beast herd, and with a loud bang, a large piece fell.
The demon beasts stared at Lou Xinyue fearfully, and kept retreating as she approached step by step. A night breeze blew, and the red on the moon slowly faded, returning to its original coldness and brightness. The beast glanced at the moon in fear, and after roaring unwillingly, it fled in a hurry, and finally disappeared into the mottled light and shadow of the night and the trees.
Putting away the sword, Lou Xinyue waved her sleeves, turned around and prepared to leave.
The white skirt swayed, Mu Qingye's heart tightened, and she hurriedly called: "Girl, please stay!"
